watered on day 1Have to add calmag in the next watering . Had to end this grow since the silver haze started herming hard and I have no other dry space than my tent I decided to call it a day and finished this grow with a heavy hard. This run ended to fast . I’ll add some later but in general very unlucky for the orange bud and sad this usually stable genetic Hermed

Le piante stanno bene. La Grape Rolex V2 ha una marcia in piΓΉ in tutto!!! Gran pianta e odore particolare mai sentito. Le Crystal Candy sono perfette. Piante che se coltivate bene sotto 600w 20/4 ore ti regaleranno anche 100gr ognuna. Ci vediamo settimana prossima per altre foto e aggiornamenti 🀞 πŸ–οΈ

All plants are doing INCREDIBLE, the buds are swelling up and on each branch huge colas start to form. The amount of flower production under the Q6W-Gen.2 LED-lamps (now dimmed to 100% at a distance of 60 cm) is INSANE and all flowers are gleaming with trichomes. The plants are sticky as hell and they smell like crazy. The Shiva Skunk has a sweet, musky aroma with hints of citrus, while the Serious Kush is getting danker every day, it has a PUNGENT GASSY SMELL...I LOVE IT! 😍 The first pistils on the buds start to get brown, which is a sign that they are ripening and that the moment of harvest is getting closer. I cant wait!

Let's dive into the third-week update for our resilient Jelousy, the star of our Power Buds journey. This week is nothing short of a pivotal phase in the life of our green darling, so fasten your seat-belts, and let's embark on this exciting chapter together. Jelousy, our leafy companion, has truly come into her own during this transformative period. Those five-fingered leaves are now the epitome of lushness and vigor. It's as if she's been to the botanical spa, indulging in a little photosynthesis and chlorophyll rejuvenation. The importance of this phase cannot be overstated. You see, during the third week, our plant transitions from her infantile vegetative state into the budding and flowering phase. It's the botanical equivalent of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. Nutrient-wise, we've continued our faithful partnership with Plagron Sugar Royal at a steady 1ml per liter. It's like providing our green champion with the secret recipe to success, ensuring she gets the nourishment she needs to thrive. Now, let's break it down a bit. In this critical phase, our plant is busy laying the foundation for her flowering stage. It's during this time that she's prepping herself to produce those coveted, resinous buds that we all dream about. This phase is marked by a shift in priorities, as Jelousy begins to direct her energy toward developing flowers and, ultimately, a bountiful harvest. Before we sign off, it's imperative to extend our profound gratitude to the benevolent Zamnesia and Plagron for their unwavering support in making this Power Buds journey possible. Their expertise and generosity are the wind beneath our green wings. A hearty shout-out to the incredible Grow Diaries community, the heart and soul of this fantastic adventure. Your knowledge and camaraderie keep our spirits high. To all fellow contestants and growers, may your plants continue to flourish, and your dreams of a magnificent harvest come true. Here's to a week of growth, transformation, and a dash of humor as we journey through the Power Buds contest. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep watching those dreams bloom! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of . Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only. Genetics - Jelousy @Zamnesia Nutrients @Plagron Light - @viparspectra P2000 Room size - 3x3 - 0,9x0,9

This week the Chicken n’ Wafflez became noticeably frostier ❄️πŸ”₯ Resin production increased heavily across the buds and even the sugar leaves are now getting completely coated in trichomes. The plant still keeps its slightly airy structure, but flower stacking improved nicely throughout the canopy 🌿 The aroma became much stronger this week 🍯? The sweet jam-like scent intensified further while keeping the same creamy sugary direction from the previous week. Opening the tent now releases a much louder and richer terpene profile overall ✨ Water consumption stayed about the same πŸ’§ Feeding this week consisted of: β€’ Bio PK 🌱 β€’ Calmag Environment stayed stable again 🌑️ The plant continues handling the strong light intensity very well with no major stress signs visible under the current setup β˜€οΈ Visually the plant looks healthy and heavily resin-covered, especially on the upper flower sites ❄️ The tallest cola still dominates the structure while the side branches continue slowly filling in. Buds are now clearly transitioning from early flower into proper stacking mode πŸš€

I dumped the water and added new today with nutrients. Two plants are looking really healthy. I'll focus on these now and let the others slowly grow on the side. The one I transplanted late is dead. Will update more as it develops. UPDATE: Largest plant is drooping a lot. I'm assuming the auto-waterer over-watered again. Avoid this flower pot. I emptied the water and am letting it dry out a bit before watering again. UPDATE: The auto-waterer soaked the large plant. I've poked holes in the medium and lowered the light to just above the plants to hopefully help dry it out quickly. Also have a fan on it. UPDATE: The plant dried out enough that it's looking healthy again. Yay!

03/10/25. Start week 2 flower or day 8 Again…going with these definitely are based off candy and not size. She’s stretched 8 inches already. Her sister, Mellow yellow, is the same height. As usual she’s still yellow lol. Both seem to be more shy than their friends about showing some buds. Lots of white hairs sprouting all over. I’m sure they’ll be showing up any time now. These things are so bushy and leafy they almost look like some kinda big plant that you’d just see near some piece of art in the corner of your house. Anyhow, they’re drinking a gallon and a half about every 4 days. Usually feed every other water but these were getting a bit of spots around leaf edges.. that I’m thinking is potassium deficiency. So, didn’t skip feeding and actually increasing by going early with green sensation at half dose. The bottle says 4 weeks and up, but if they’re lacking, what can it hurt? I’ve increased light intensity to about 75% and they’re currently 13 inches from it. Going to raise it up some in the morning, as this seems a bit close for the moment. That about covers it for now. ✌️✌️

Week 15 days 99-105 . I'm am flushing all plants with 1 gallon of filtered water each. I've reduced the light cycle from 18 to 14 hours to reduce heat stress. It may reduce yield as well based on comments I've read in other growers diaries. An oz per plant would be nice. Of course more would be better but an oz makes a pound of cannabutter. Reducing the light hours is reducing the purpleness in the stems of og kush and gorilla glue but Purple chill still has purple stems The Natrona sisters spend their nights in the garage where the temps are 10-15 degrees cooler than in the day temps in the tent. Night temps ranged this week between 63-66 with rh 51-76%. The high rhythm comes after a rain. During the day, I'm keeping the tent open while circulating 2 fans. Day Temps can reach 80 so it gets hot in there. flooded each plant with 1 gal of water. From here forward I will be flushing all plants with filtered water at 1 gal for each plant every other day. Monday, flushed with 1 gal of water. Starting this flush, I added ice to the top of the soil before watering. See photo. This is a stress technique used to force plant phenotype colors. I don't think it will work for mine as I over fed. While I have 3 different strains, they look the same with blue green dominance. Thursday, flushed with 1 gal of water. Starting this flush, I added ice to the top of the soil before watering. See photo Saturday, flushed with 1 gal of water. Starting this flush, I added ice to the top of the soil before watering. See photo Sunday photos I'm not seeing any change in leaf or bud colorations from flushing out the fertilizers nor from the ice treatment. General comments" After putting the plants in the garage during the night, morning soil temperatures are within a degree of the night air temperature. This has been about 15 degrees cooler (50s) than the tent temperatures (75+). This week our weather has been unseasonably warm so the night temperatures have been 63-71 with Rh 51-70% Tent temps in the day 75-80 and RH 47-59%. Special thanks to @DreamIT for showing me how to add music to video. Check out my Gigi video above for a short clip.

July 6: looking good stating week 11. Nice response to the last round of topping to form a 16 cola manifold. After a couple more days of growth I’ll do another scrog layer to open it up further to the sun. So far so good. πŸ‘ July 7: added scrog net. This is tied to half filled water bottles that can move if the plant catches some wind. Main reason at this growth stage is to help expose the growth tips and to hold down the fan leaves. Basically, I’m doing this instead of tomato cages because cannabis plants are tough and a net is better than a metal cage. July 8: hot 33 C today. Extra water, misting during peak sun, and some seaweed extract in the water. Continuing to mist regularly to make up for low humidity. Plant looks nice and green and vigorous. Growing at more than an inch per day now. July 9; hot again. Misting every few hours and foliar of seaweed extract and potassium silicate to help beat the heat. July 10: hot but this should be the peak day. Re-scrogged using a loose scrog layer. The overnight low here was almost 20 C which is super warm. Started another (third) lazy compost tea. Ingredients in a 5 gallon pail are 4 gallons (16 L) of water, compost, shredded coco coir fibre so bacteria have physical media to grow on, 1 tbsp of seaweed extract and humic acid blend, and 0.8 mL/L of Monster Maxx. About 1.5 tbsp of blackstrap molasses. No pH adjustment yet, and will let stand until end of day to allow some bacterial growth. July 12: made it through the heat wave and she looks great this morning.

I have been battling very high humidity as it has rained a week straight is why I think I’m noticing some curling.Had to chop my fast buds outdoor girl right before the rain came and she needed the dehumidifier :)Day 43 everyone looks healthy se7000 light dialed in at 50 percent.Will give an update thru out the week and add some pictures.Im going to introduce CO2 this week and increase the light intensity to 80 percent.The girls are gaining some trichomes and developing as anticipated.80 was a bit strong with the light intensity so backed off a bit set at 60 percent power as the girls were not happy noticed some heat and light stress.
