Fruity Pebbles autoflower growing in Athena is doing okay. She is still showing signs of too much nitrogen at this moment. I will likely do a solution change soon and resove this if it continues. I added water to dilute out the solution some. She is still advancing in flowering. I will fix this soon when I have more time. Everything else is looking good. Thank you ILGM. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

New flowering continues to develop on this lady, she seems to be swelling up day by day. Yellowing of the fan leaves has started which usually means it's time to flush, I need to check the trichomes to see how amber they appear before I do just in case the flavour or yield could be effected.

The cookies is doing well. There's a lot of bud sites. The photos are at day 21 of flower.

Getting rid of some of the huge fan leaves She smells strong now and she doesn't have flowers yet

Die Gorilla Sherbet ist jetzt in der 4BW angekommen und hat sich im Gegensatz zu anderen, sehr kompakt und klein geblieben, dazu baut die Pflanzen nach jeden beschneiden mehr blattwerk auf und gleichzeitig auch die Blüten Produktion und die viel Zahl von Trichomen kann man nicht übersehen, Sie riecht etwas erdiger mit einem Zitrus Geruch im Hintergrund, sobald man aber etwas an die zuckerblätter dran geht und an seinen Finger riecht… ist der Geruch unglaublich und erinnert an ein Süßigkeitenladen! ..das wird eine richtiger kugel Blitz…

Welcome to the Smoking Tiki's hut! For this grow, I'm using some of the seeds I won at the Summer Buds contest from last year. I kept the seeds in my fridge door during one year. It worked very well because all the seeds successfully germinated after 48h! 😎 I used 3x3 seeds. I selected 2x3 seeds with the bigger root to put them in some pots. I will let them grow a bit and then select the 3 best plants to make it until the harvest. It's the first time I grow some Fast Buds under a light and in a controlled environement, I'm really curious to see how it turns out! My set-up: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Mars Hydro TSW2000 (300W). - Tristar fan (30W) - Greenmigo dehumidifier (155W). - Compo Sana universal soil (2x40l) - Timer - Weather station + pH meter Have a nice journey through my grow diary!

Well into flowering now. She is definitely a more indica phenotype 😭 I must have lucked out first time round with such a Sativa phenotype 😍 I'd love to know more on this side. The likely phenotypes, and how and why they come about. Also what is the likelyhood/prevalence of each of the phenotypes....... So many questions 😂 But anyway, she's looking absolutely fab. Flowers developing well so on she goes a few more weeks! 👌

The grow is heading towards the end. This week I was feeding with 1.1 EC and yesterday I started giving only pH regulated water. I am not sure whether it is too soon, but we will see. I am planning to harvest next wednesday, if the trichomes are there. I've already vaporised some of the sugar leaves (without drying) and it tastes really amazing, the terpenes are very fruity. There is also some purple coming in this week. I actually might get my wish of purple weed fulfilled in the end:)

This week the Bruce Banner girls really started to show weight. The buds are getting heavy enough that I had to give some support, especially to #1 and #3. Branches were starting to lean outward, so I created a support ring with string to keep everything stable 💪🌿 Bruce Banner #1 She’s still the biggest plant but also the one recovering from a past deficiency. The reddish leaves are still visible, but she’s pushing forward with bud production. Her smell this week: chemical + lemon 🍋⚗️ Trichomes are clear to milky. Bruce Banner #2 This one surprised me the most… She already shows multiple amber trichomes on the main cola 😳🔥 Most trichomes are milky and she looks like she’s maturing way faster than expected. Her smell is a mix of earthy, chemical and lemon. Bruce Banner #3 She’s catching up quickly and has buds almost as developed as #2. Trichome maturity is nearly the same: mostly milky with the first ambers starting. Her aroma is more fruity, lemony and sweet 🍓🍋🍭 All three plants look very healthy overall. Just heavy buds and strong terp development this week. Environment & Light Temp: 24°C RH: 50% Light: increased from 70% → 80% Watering RO + CalMag only Honestly, these girls smell insane right now. With the amount of amber already showing on #2 and #3, I’m expecting both to be ready within about two more weeks, but I’m watching them daily to be sure 👀🔥

Got rid of the root rot. She is doing amazing growing rapidly.

First feeding going well so far . Day 1 of lst. Lst going well so far.

Will Update Soon

So far, they are all coming along nicely. During the seedling stage, it's all about building roots, so the foliage grows a bit slower at first. But the time-lapse really shows the progress that a lot of people miss in the beginning—it's definitely there. Update New Photos _____________________________________________ Bisher kommen alle gut, die sämlingszeit werden wurzeln gemacht und erst noch langsam blattwerk aber die Zeitraffen zeigt den Fortschritt denn viele am anfang vermissen, der aber doch da ist.

Strain: Chocolate Haze (Royal Queen Seeds) Medium: Coco bricks (Action budget bricks – hell yeah 💰) Light cycle: 12/12 from seed Grow Style: No training, no stress – just flow Grow Medium Prep: 500L of coco – never again in one go 😅 The Kickoff 🚀 This run started off wild and direct – no veg time, straight into 12/12 with Chocolate Haze. I wanted a quick turnaround and thought, hey, why wait? I germinated 14 seeds, hoping for at least 9 strong ladies. Ended up with 11 survivors – not bad! First few weeks were a bit chaotic: stretching due to low light (I tucked the seedlings under mature plants, which I do not recommend 😆), and the coco prep took way longer than expected. But hey, that's the game. Early Veg/Bloom — Lessons Learned pH: Started a bit high; some light green leaves at first EC: Too low at 1.3 — they weren't having it. Upped to 1.7 and then to 2.1 later Environment: New extractor dropped temps way down (25°C vs my usual 30°C). Thought it would help, but growth felt slower Coco quirks: They looked overwatered at times, but coco is tricky like that. Eventually, roots hit the bottom and they took off Around mid-March (3 weeks in), pistils showed up – officially the start of flower. I topped them once just before full bloom kicked in. Always a strange move, cutting healthy plants... but they bounced back beautifully. Nice and bushy now. Week 2–5 Flowering 🌸 These ladies are small but mighty. Not tall, but full of energy. The canopy is tight and even (except for one shorty), and they've been stretching like crazy — classic sativa move. Had to raise the lights twice in two days. I’ll probably do some defoliation soon to slow things down a bit. Environment is now dialed in: Temp: 30°C with lights on RH: Holding nicely in that humid sweet spot CO₂: Set to 500ppm (passive mostly, no full-on enrichment) Feeding is now solid, color has recovered beautifully, and the buds are starting to form nice stacks. I’ve kept it low-stress — no nets, no heavy training, just letting them do their thing. Observations & Setup Tweaks 🔧 Ventilation: Running the fan at just 30% now. Tent takes 18 seconds to vacuum seal, which tells me airflow is minimal – less CO₂ loss. CO₂ System: Minimal usage at 500 ppm. I’m not going all-out with gas bottles; it’s just there as a buffer. Structure: These Chocolate Haze plants don’t get tall, but they do fill out nicely. Perfect for a space where height is limited. Auto side note: One of the autos in the same tent is way taller, but less dense. Makes me appreciate the Chocolate Haze structure even more. Current Status (April 17) 📆 We’re deep into flower now — week 5, and it shows. Buds are swelling and resin production is kicking in. Nothing major to report (which is kind of the point of this grow — set and forget). Just a slight dry issue with one auto, which I adjusted on the Blumats. Besides that? Happy plants, happy grower. 🌞 Check the latest pics — they speak for themselves. Final Thoughts (So Far) 💭 This Chocolate Haze grow has been chill, efficient, and surprisingly hands-off. The direct 12/12 schedule really works when you're going for a fast cycle with minimal hassle. And even though I’m usually more into hybrids, this sativa-dominant lady is winning me over — the structure, the vigor, the smell… mmm. Now we wait for the real magic — the last few weeks of flower. Trichomes incoming. 🍫✨ Stay tuned for harvest updates — it’s gonna be sweet. Feel free to drop any questions or thoughts. Always happy to share the love for the plant. 💚 Peace

A medium size plant that’s compact with some super growing abilities. I wish I had a clone of this one it grows colors all over and has some super foldable buds this a a winner for sure

So she’s looking good fattening up and looking very healthy! Flowers are forming nicely and are looking beautiful.

I'm just excited to get my harvest on here! I believe this will be my biggest of the 3 plants. I have it all mostly trimmed. I will dry trim a bit later and weigh. I will try it once it's dry, though it is tempting to smoke a bowl of the hash fur I pulled off everything with tweezers. More photos and a review of Platinum Purple to come. Thanks everyone @GrowDiaries for making this site and to the grow community for the support, encouragement and the wisdom of your experience. Grown from veganic clone from Buds & Roses. Dry in peace, my little buds! Dried in brown paper bags after a half assed wet trim. Dry trimmed after stems snapped and put into a canning jar to cure. Vaped trimmings with popcorn nug. Biggest mistakes of this grow: Not vegging longer Not using a PPM meter and using extremely hard tap water Not starting from seed Not keeping the space cleaner (fur & bugs) Not using individual trellises Not using ventilation besides fans Not using enough fans Best lessons learned: I loved growing weed. Being on this site in a supportive community made it especially fun. Small yeild but when you consider I pay 30-60/8th at the pot store and that this was my first grow and I feel lucky to have made it to harvest , getting a half oz out of one plant is more than fine by me.

Plant was transplanted in to 5.5 L pot.

Fabric pot plants lagged a bit. Thursday’s flush fixed runoff to 1.1 EC / 700 PPM. LST and leaf trimming kept things tidy. Temps (24–27°C day, 23–26°C night), humidity (60–68%), VPD (1.1–1.2) were solid. Lights climbed to 55% @ 30cm (480–490 PPFD), CO₂ 550–700 ppm. 😎 Lessons: → Nutrient Overload: High runoff means cut back on feed strength for autos. Go lighter next time! → Flush Fast: Thursday’s flush saved the day. Act quick when EC spikes. 🚿 → LST FTW: Gentle LST helped growth—keep it up for even canopies. 🌱 → Fabric Pot Lag: Fabric pots dry faster, monitor closer to match plastic pots’ pace. 👀 Takeaway: Overfeeding glitch fixed with a flush. Stay vigilant with nutrients and keep LST going! 🚀😉
