*Week 4 Flowering 09/17* Blimburn - Apple Fritter (1) - 47 Inches Seedsman - Crititcal +2.0 (1) - 47 Inches Thus far no issues or concerns - Both plants are growing accordingly and are growing vigorously, Bud-sites are coming in heavy. Still growing in length. *Week 4 Flowering End of Week 09/23* Both Apple Fritter/Critical+2.0 have appeared to stop growing in length but have expanded in width in regards to the bud site development. Bud sites are blooming accordingly and trichome development seems to be coming along nicely as well. Nute feeds have remained the same/Plain water feeds have increased. *BACK TENT VIDEO ADDED - Apple Fritter (L) - Critical+2.0 (R) - 09/23*

Quick recap — seed to now (for anyone joining late) • 🌱 12/12 from seed • LSD genetics showing consistency and vigor • Early structure set without aggressive training • Environment prioritized over chasing charts • Feed increased gradually, never pushed • Plants transitioned naturally into flower • Defoliation timed after structure was established, not before This is calm, intentional growing. No panic moves. Why we changed nothing (and why that’s not doing nothing) Your room conditions: • 🌡️ Day temp: ~28 °C • 💧 RH: ~65% • ⚡ EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 • 📏 Height: ~40–80 cm • 💡 LED lighting On paper, some growers would panic at 28 °C in flower. But here’s the key difference between growing by numbers and growing by understanding: Under LED, leaf temperature ≠ room temperature. LEDs don’t radiate infrared heat like HPS. So while the wall sensor says 28 °C, the leaf surface is usually 2–4 °C cooler. And the plant does not “feel” the room — it feels its own leaf temperature. That’s where leaf VPD comes in. ⸻ Leaf VPD — the part most people skip VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) is simply the difference between how much moisture the air can hold and how much it actually holds. But here’s the nuance most charts miss: • Room VPD is calculated with room temp • Leaf VPD is calculated with leaf temp So if: • Room = 28 °C • Leaf = ~24–26 °C • RH = 65% 👉 our leaf VPD lands right in the comfort zone for early–mid flower. And the plants are confirming that with their behavior: • Deep, relaxed green • No tacoing, no praying too hard • Internodes strong and structured • Uniform nutrient uptake across phenotypes That’s the real data. We’re not ignoring numbers We’re letting the plant be the final authority. Stability here beats “fixing” something that isn’t broken. ⸻ Defoliation — why this time was heavier Let’s be very clear: This was not aesthetic defoliation. This was functional defoliation. Context matters: • 🏠 8×8 room • 🌱 ~27 plants • 🌬️ Airflow, light penetration, humidity pockets all scale differently Sometimes a single plant wouldn’t “ask” for leaves to be removed — but the room does. Why you defoliated: • Improve airflow through a dense canopy • Reduce micro-humidity pockets • Allow photons to travel deeper, not just hit the roof • Reset apical dominance and refocus energy on flowering sites Yes — i went harder than originally planned. But: • Genetics are strong • Plants are healthy • Root zone is dialed • Feed is stable Healthy plants recover fast. Stressed plants don’t. These girls are the first category. And importantly: we didn’t stack stress. No feed change. No environment change. No light shock. That’s how we “go hard” safely. What to expect next week (and what not to expect) Expect: • Slight pause as plants redirect energy • Fresh flower site definition • Upright posture returning after defoliation • Strong tops responding to improved light access Do NOT expect: • Explosive vertical stretch (that window is closing) • Deficiency symptoms (unless something external changes) • Need for immediate correction Next week is observation week again. Hands in pockets. Eyes open. ⸻ Gratitude — because this matters Let’s say it properly: • Thank you to GD for the platform • Thank you to the GD community • Thank you to the Discord family • Thank you to the OGs, the new faces, the quiet readers • Thank you to the lovers and the haters — both keep the wheel turning • Thank you to the sponsors, past and present • Thank you to everyone who believes growing can be calm, thoughtful, and honest This is a special report — because it’s not about hype.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

excellent recovery from the top pruning I did last week, again watering with top crop top veg and they seem to be doing very well enjoying the substrate and the fertilizer and the climate

I’m really happy with the development she’s shown. I suspect she will probably top a half pound (226g) pretty easily! I like big plants…

Lovely buds sweet and fruity with citrus smell. Taste is the same ;) She has a potential to have a good yield if you have a good lamp. Nice buds really sticky, with nice trichomes. :) It must be tried.

Hi all hope everyone doin well and happy easter have a great weekend. I can't believe it,I survived another week without killing me babies 🤣ha. I had 2 problems yesterday don't know how serious it is or will be to plants? My marshydro inline fan stopped working just when I started needed it for the smell but thats typical,its my life in nut shell ha ill have to start charging the owl neighbours for the lovely scent they about to receive 🤣🤣how much do yas reckon is reasonable 100 euro whiff yeah haha.😂was on marshydro about it so hopefully gets sorted soon there customer service straight back on to but was using it to control humidity so ordered a dehumidifier waiting on that now.in mean time that shot up to 85 90 percent,so open flaps on tent over night and then temps dropped to 17 degrees for lights out and continued like that for few hrs then went to 22 degrees and as high as 90 percent in humidity till got home from work all good now 24 degrees 65 humidity but I haven't a clue if I've fucked it all up.please let us know if all OK. They took a massive stretch in last week though and all looking amazing 😍put light up to 100 percent 19 inches praying 🙏 leafs 🍃 so hopefully sweet spot for time being. done a bit of defoliating, bit leaf tucking were I could. sprayed a bit of canna cure jst at lights out.so to me everything looks as good as I could possible make for my first time ever even looking at a plant let alone looking after 2 of them 🤣haha Thanks all for having a look and feedback needed and appreciated wouldn't have got this far without the help ive already received so please keep it coming its badly needed ha. Enjoy plus keep growing and blazing all God knows we bleeding deserve it.ha on to next week when magic starts happening ✨️ 🙏

Que hay familia, vamos con la primera semana de floración de estas Runtz de Zamnesia. Utilizo la tierra de plagron lightmix que siempre utilizo, controlando siempre el Ph, que ahora mismo lo dejamos en 6. Temperatura y humedad dentro de los parámetros correctos. Seleccioné de las 5 plantas, 3 , que creo que son los mejores ejemplares que por el momento están creciendo bien y tener tienen un buen color, se ven bien sanas, todo normal hasta ahora, ya marcaron preflores. Vamos viendo cómo progresan. Hasta aquí todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

Finally last stage of flowering is here 😁 In next 2/3 weeks she will be ready for harvest. Update: Day 93 It's like waiting for Xmas, you know there will be gifts but you have to wait for them 😂😂😂 Update: Day 97 The buds slowly start to show a colours 😊 But my phone camera is a total trash so at that pictures you're not able to see it... Like I said before I will buy something better for next grow report 😇😇😇 All the best, You Lovely Girls Growers 💪💪💪

Day36, 37, 38: Seems to be growing a set of leaves per day now. Super growth! Stretching to the top. Day39: I had a hiccup with the camera. For some reason it stopped responding at 04:30 in the morning. I only realized it much later. I still don't really know why, but reseating the data ribbon fixed the issue. Day40: After fixing the camera, I decided to take this view again. The Lady is starting to show some nice growth and this view will show it best. If you look carefully, you'll see that her branches are not green, but rather reddish. Definitely related to genetics :) Everything else is within limits. Plus, the leaves look super healthy. Day41: Here you can see the stem colour better.

Das Blümchen gibt Vollgas! Die Blütenstände werden immer dicker und duften schon extrem betörend fruchtig. Der Duft sorgt mal wieder für Uneinigkeit. Melonendüfte oder doch Rhabarber? 🤣 Insgesamt sorgt die Pflanze bisher für Begeisterung. Die Buds sind für diese Phase schon extrem weit entwickelt obwohl gerade mal die Hälfte der angegebenen Blütezeit verstrichen ist. Wo das noch hinführt bleibt abzuwarten. Entweder sehen wir nach dem angegebenen 56 bis 63 Tagen keine Blätter mehr unter den Trichomen

This has been an amazing growth once again and I got to do the compound genetics like been wanting to for a year. This stuff is so decked out
