Week 15 From Seed — Sour Diesel | Part 2 — Cure, Smoke Review & Final Thoughts 🌱 Before starting this final chapter, a quick recap for everyone arriving here for the first time. This entire run was done 12/12 from seed inside a room shared with multiple genetics, different personalities and different expressions. Some girls loved the environment from day one. Others needed more patience, more adaptation and more understanding. And our Sour Diesel… she definitely had her difficult moments. She never fully enjoyed the room conditions the same way some of the others did. While the rest exploded with vigor and stacked aggressively, this girl stayed smaller, more sensitive and a little more demanding. In another environment, another setup or another run focused only on her, maybe she would have shown a completely different side. But that is also part of growing. Not every plant becomes the biggest one in the room. Not every run is about chasing records or numbers. Sometimes the lesson is patience. Sometimes the lesson is resilience. Sometimes the lesson is simply learning when to support instead of giving up. And honestly… I am very glad I kept her alive and trusted the process. From seed until harvest, she received the exact same love as every other plant in the room. Minimal training, only some gentle leaf bending here and there, plants growing naturally into the PPFD provided by the LEDs. Organic and mineral nutrition working together through the Plagron line. Slow development, careful observation and a lot of patience. After harvest, she dried for around 10 days at roughly 18–20°C and 60% humidity before trimming day arrived. Branches were broken down slowly by hand, gloves on, trimming bin on the table and the curved Zamnesia scissors once again becoming absolute heroes during cleanup. Even with a smaller harvest, she still covered the gloves with sticky resin and rewarded us with beautiful finger hash and a nice little collection from the trim bin screen. In total, she delivered 54.2 grams. And honestly? Considering everything she went through… I am genuinely happy with that result. Not every victory is measured only in weight. Sometimes a successful harvest is simply reaching the finish line. After trimming, she went into the Zamnesia vacuum containers for cure alongside some glass jars for comparison. Humidity stayed stable and now, after roughly one and a half to two months of curing, this little jar became one of those “special occasion” jars. The type you do not open every day. The type you revisit slowly. The type you respect because there is not much of it left. And now for the important part… The smoke. This girl is beautiful. Very old-school feeling medicine. Strong diesel and skunky notes immediately hit on the inhale with that nostalgic classic Sour profile many growers still chase today. Sharp, dirty, fuel-like terpenes mixed with that earthy-skunky background that instantly brings memories from older genetics and older sessions. The smoke itself is smooth but expressive. Not aggressive on the throat, but very loud in flavor. And the effect? Completely cerebral. Uplifting, active, creative and socially pleasant while still carrying enough depth to relax the body without knocking it down. This is not couch-lock medicine. This is “sit outside during sunset and watch the world slow down a little” medicine. Perfect for daytime sessions, creative moments, long conversations, walks, music or simply reconnecting with your own thoughts. Very functional while still being powerful. And honestly… probably one of the most nostalgic smokes from this entire run. We also decided to press part of the harvest to see how she behaved as rosin. And yes… mistakes were made 😄 We pressed at around 90°C for roughly 180 seconds and ended up going slightly hotter than ideal. The result came out darker than expected, but still incredibly flavorful and enjoyable. The terpenes remained beautiful, the texture cured nicely and overall it became another great learning experience. That is also part of the journey. You learn. You adjust. You improve. And next press gets even better. One thing I also wanted to share in this final report are some of the macro focus stacks included in the gallery. We have one 99-frame stack, one 160-frame stack, one 222-frame stack and one 255-frame stack. These do not represent the harvest itself. They are artistic and educational macro projects created to showcase the trichomes, textures and structure hidden inside these flowers. Tiny worlds inside tiny worlds. A way to slow down and appreciate details our eyes normally miss. And honestly… this little Sour Diesel deserved that attention. Of course, Mr. Baggy stayed with us the whole way through the process as always. Despite being a blue fluffy assistant with questionable qualifications, his emotional support during trimming, curing and “quality control sessions” continues to be outstanding 😄 As we close this run, I want once again to thank everybody involved. Zamnesia for the genetics. Plagron for the nutrients. FOG and Future of Grow for the lighting. GrowDiaries for the platform and the community. The OG followers. The new followers. The silent watchers. The supporters. The skeptics. The lovers. The haters. The growers. The learners. The teachers. Everybody who stopped by and became part of this journey in one way or another. This run may be finished… But the next adventure is already growing somewhere nearby 🌱

la seconda pianta ossia quella che non era ermafrodita è stata impollinata solo nel ramo in diretto raggio del ventilatore, forse avrei potuto pensarci, comunque ho 12 semi, per il resto non ho trovato molti semi e sono soddisfatto nel complesso, la pianta non ermafrodita ha avuto un esplosione di tricomi, veramente piena, per altro le cime sembravano pesare molto, per adesso stanno seccando, di muffa ne ho trtovata poc e niente

moved her to optic4 led

Week has had ups and downs🙃 Plants seem to be growing fine 🙂 But there is yellowing and spotting still that I cannot resolve.🙄 Day 22- Still having some kind of deficiency/issue. They are growing well, don't really seem to be stunted. I think I may have burnt them with nutes.🤧 Flushing may help. 🤷‍♂️😅 Run-off pH is at 6.08, PPM 266 I have flushed them, lowered feeding... I'm driving myself crazy. Hahaha Update 119 Day 23- Things are looking better. I definitely have been overfeeding them.😅 They are responding well to half nutes.🙌 Issues seem to be getting much better. Happy Growing! 🤙💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚🤙

Nothing interesting with the plants. They are still thin and sluggish. I felt, that the stretch was to strong and they should get more light. They are under 16/8 400W MH right now. Usually I do 18/6 with this setup, but I dont want to give them to much light hours now. In the beginning of May, the days are 15-15,5 hours long and I dont want the Passion #1 to flower, because they get less light, than before. We began to surround the plant holes with terra cotta tiles, we found in a corner of the garden. There are plenty of them, I hope enough for all the holes. We put a Microdrip system in place for easy watering. We are still cleaning around the planting area. I cut a couple of tree branches today, that were stealing light in the earlier hours of the day. I set up a camera and will be doing a 48h time lapse of the planting area, starting tonight at 00.00. I want to see, if I have to cut more branches or bushes further back. If it works, I'll post the time lapse. Edit: I added the timelapse test.

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Umstände.

Took down the Tropicana Cookies and left the purple lemonade for a week

Started removing leaves that were dying. Had to tie one plant down she grew bigger then expected and was getting to close to the light

Week 6 looking lovely

Cambio de Armario para las North Thunderfuck de Royal Queen, ahora mismo tienen 3 semanas y tienen otras dos de crecimiento, abrá que espabilar pues están pequeñas, para ello he realizado un trasplante a macetero definitivo de 5.5l para que las raíces pégen un buen tirón. En lo que respecta a la alimentación subo tanto EC a 1.0 como el PH a 6.0 para fomentar el crecimiento. Al riego posterior al trasplante siempre agrego micorrizas, que van muy bien para las raices provocando un crecimiento más rápido. También cambia la iluminación, pues ahora están bajo 100W de COB Citizen, que dan unos buenos resultados como podéis ver en mi seguimiento de critical x widow. Estas dos últimas semanas las temperaturas exteriores han sido muy altas influyendo también en las del interior, pero ya ha llegado el otoño y van llegando los parametros de cultivo a su punto óptimo.

Jetzt wird gewartet bis die Wurzeln aus dem Topf kommen, dann wird umgetopft.

Bueno resumiendo cookies gelato es una variedad híbrida muy fácil de cultivar pero ojo, cuidado con los últimos riegos si no queréis perder cosecha por moho. Lo demás de 10 pegada heavy sabor increíble, cogollos duros como rocas y bañados de una gran capa de polen. El ambiente del secado se mantuvo en 23 grados de media y la humedad estuvo por debajo de los 45% en todo momento. Poco más la verdad estuve encantado de poder cultivar una genética tan potente . Un saludazo que paséis un final de año increíble y por supuesto buenos humazooos💨💨💨.

Honestly these weeks are boring. I’m gonna jinx myself but I’m not having issues, problems, anything. My plants are thriving they’re growing at extraordinary rates and they’re perfectly healthy. I’m no master grower but I’m really happy with where things are. My temps, humidity, light and nutrients all seem to be on point and in the best place I can have them. I’m about 2 weeks out from flipping I think. Probobly less. The scrog is about 70% full and I’m shooting for 85% ish. I have no complaints or problems to whine about. Basically I’m ready to manage the largest grows in Colorado. Lmfao. Me and my two plants have this shit nailed down. But in all reality things are going great. They’re anti climatic and I’ve got some healthy, happy plants. I’m proud of the grow.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 27/02/2020 - Gave her 1.5l of RO water.

Did defoliation as usual and a little lollipoping. Did 2 complete refills of the reservoir, ph stayed stable for 1 day after the exchange but then super unstable again. Dropped the EC with the second refill to 1000 to see if it stays stable. Ori is going good, already looking frosty, NL#2 is comming aswell, NL#1 not so much.

19.1.25: I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g. I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes. It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements. I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients. Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;- ♡ 2ml Cal-Mag ♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max ♡ 1g of Ecothrive Biosys I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements. I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. 🙄 I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation. The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double. I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest. I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too. I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle. 24.1.25: I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix. This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments: ♡ 60% Canna coco ♡ 20% Worm castings ♡ 15 % Perlite The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;- ♡ 10g Ecothrive Biosys ♡ 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano ♡ 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth ♡ 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon ♡ 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster. ♡ 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle. •Worm castings for some all round nutrition. •Cinnamon for mildew and bug repellent. •Canna coco base substrate. •Perlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system. •Green Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds. •Vitalink bat guano again for Bloom. •RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes. •Ecothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits. •Diatomaceous earth for Silica. •Ecothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial boost. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️
