Hey what’s up fellas ✌️ Week 2 of flowering, I have trim the legs by cutting all the small shoots in the bottom that won’t reach the canopy. And removing some few big fans leaves that are covering some lower shoots. I gave them a lil bit of nutrients during this week, last time was about 13 days ago. Just to support the stretch. Keeping an eye on the plants is the best way to know when to feed them. Lights are at max level now, all the ladies should have plenty enough space to grow without reaching the cooking zone. The Mars-Hydro led is just a bit lower and closer as it produces less heat. ✅New Growers Tips✅ ✅Trim your plants legs, don’t waste energy on the bottom popcorn buds. ✅Your plants are stretching, they need Nitrogen, stick to your Grow/Veg. nutrients ✅Always pop more seeds than expected to grow, look at the shitty plants in the middle between the 2 scrog in the video, those plants were germinated same day than the ones in the scrog... Keep the best phenotypes and put the shitty ones at the trash. That’s all for this week 😉 Stay tuned for the Jungle Show 😂👍 (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

Moved to cropsalt bloom and work casting this week

gentlemen .... start dancing by flushing ..... I have had many difficulties in the last few weeks .... one of these is too hot ... but my girls have hexagonal balls and go on their way! prosperous and abundant crops at all ... see you around

Photos taken on day 56 of flowering (last day of week 8 of flowering) We are entering the last week as planned. Today is day 57 of flowering, day 50 for the London Pound Cake X Zoap. Since last week, all the plants have gained a lot more trichomes. Nasha's Fat Freddy's Cat is becoming more and more purple, Mimosa X Orange Punch is becoming more and more peachy and London Pound Cake X Zoap is turning a light shade of pink. Meanwhile, the larger leaves around the tubers are already curling with resin and the smell in the tent is very intense. Only water is used. Some plants have an incredible resin production and some flowers are still swelling, which can be seen in the light green areas of the otherwise dark flowers. Some plants look more mature than others, but that's the way it is when you use seeds. Temperature is still around 25 degrees during the day and around 19 at night. One Fat Freddy's Cat plant has developed an 'albino tip', which according to my information it can be genetic, for example when plants are backcrossed for recessive traits and can be due to environmental factors such as growing too close to a powerful lamp, which is also the case here. However, only this one plant has this trait and it is only particularly pronounced on one tip and less pronounced on another.

Empiezo lo bueno Farmers pasamos a la preflora... este cultivo probaremos Delta 9 para probar aumentar la resina!👌🏻

Eine Dame war sich nicht sicher ob sie doch ein Männchen werden wollte 😅 Daher hab ich sie raus genommen!

This week I noticed the plants really starting to take off. I’m adding more C02 tonight to speed things up, I plan to get 2 more harvests before the winter! Did a Rez change on the DWC BCP, I’ll snip clones off the other two strains during the next defoliant sessions. I’d like to get a 5x5 just for a few DWC or RDWC. How can I join come contests?

Start of week 5 today, everything seems to be going great! The Gelato OG is by far the biggest plant of the bunch so far but they all seem to be taking well to LST, HST , Topping & defoliation! Will be going in the flower tent as soon as the other ladies harvest so they will probably have atleast 2 to 3 more weeks of veg!

Week 4 flower the girls are looking amazing Zkittlez og auto flower..... Not the best strain in the garden... Well more like the worst so this will be the last crop with that strain in it had to crops now with it and I'd say I'm abit bored off it it takes so long to flower its unreal.... Plus I'd only give the smoke 5/10 Royal cheese fast flower......... This strain I got a bit later on so I've o LG given her 2 weeks veg and I've got 2 off this strain in my garden I've topped one and left the other to Grow natural,, and with only 2 weeks veg theses are doing really well...

She's growing well just abit skinny to all the rest off the girls but still got some beautiful flowers on her.... Thanks guys UK grower blueboy

Could anyone estimate when they will be done .

Skipped a week in my journal last week, as I was traveling. Had my neighbor water my plants. Came back and everything was looking great with the Lion Claw. I WAS having some minor early deficiencies with my photoperiod plants though... so I decided to go ahead and give everything a solid feeding of Foop Bloom 1, 2 and Sweetener. Also top dressed the Lion Claw and mulched with rice straw to help with the soil drying out a bit too quickly. She's a big plant for being in a 5-gallon pot. I have a sneaking suspicion that my neighbor didn't water them quite enough while I was gone. Will probably continue with the Foop feedings... probably once per week. Don't want to overdo it. 8/4 LIGHTLY sprayed with gravenstein apple FFJ and OHN. 8/6 LIGHTLY sprayed base soil area with neem oil / castile soap mixture.

🌱 GMO Cookies — Week 5 (12/12 From Seed) Late Veg / Pre-Flower Transition General Vibe The girls are feeling amazing this week — calmly exploding, super elegant, and bushing up beautifully. Structure is compact yet full, with a very balanced expression across the canopy. No rush, no stress — just plants doing plant things. Training & Structure We’re continuing with very gentle LST — mostly bending and positioning leaves rather than aggressive branch work. The goal is simple: • Open light pathways • Encourage lateral growth • Let the plants decide their final shape They’re responding incredibly well: tight internodes, bushy profiles, and strong posture. You can clearly see the progression in the photos from the beginning to the end of the week. Growth Stage Observation By the end of this week, we’re starting to see early pre-flower signs. Nothing dramatic yet, but the transition is clearly beginning. ➡️ Next week’s update should start showing more defined flower development. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Water Strategy This week we introduced CalMag Pro — not because the plants are asking for it, but as a proactive step heading into flower. Why now? • We’re using collected rainwater + dehumidifier water, which is extremely soft • Before stacking base nutrients and supplements, we need to build a proper mineral foundation • This ensures stability and availability later, especially during stretch and early flower demand This is preparation, not correction. Autopot Zone We’re running two feeding zones in the tent (6 plants total), which is why you’ll see different measurements in the diary photos: • Autopot zone: mineral-based recipe only • EC: 2.29 • pH: 6.0 • (Organics don’t play well with Autopots — keeping it clean and stable) • Solution temperature: ~22–23°C across both zones • Slightly warmer on purpose to support root activity during colder weather ⸻ 🌡️ Environment • Humidity: ~58% • Temperature: ~21°C Outside conditions have been tough this week (4–5°C with 90–98% humidity), so honestly, we’re happy with how stable the room is holding. More importantly, the plants are reacting calmly and positively, which always matters more than chasing textbook numbers. CO₂ remains unchanged at ~666 ppm — steady and sufficient for this stage. We’ll reassess during flower. ⸻ 💡 Lighting & PPFD • Top light: 100% • PPFD: ~700–850 (depending on plant size) The girls are praying to the light — no pushing, no forcing. We let them grow how they want to grow. Under-Canopy Lighting (LumiFlora) By the end of this week, we’re turning on the under-canopy lighting for the first time. Why now? • Plants have grown past the fixtures • It’s time for them to start recognizing photons from all directions • This prepares lower growth for the coming stretch and flower set We’re starting very gently at ~30% power, then increasing slowly based on plant response. No shock, no rush — just layered light introduced with intention. Huge thanks to LumiFlora for supporting this phase with under-canopy lighting. ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap (For Newcomers) • 12/12 from seed • Gentle, observation-first approach • No aggressive training or forcing • Focus on structure, balance, and plant response • Slow, intentional buildup heading into flower You can jump in right here and be fully up to speed. ⸻ What to Expect Next Week Expect: • Clearer pre-flowers • Stretch beginning to express • Training adjustments as structure reveals itself Don’t expect: • Heavy defoliation • Sudden pushes or drastic changes • Forcing the plants into anything they’re not ready for We observe, adapt, and respond — always. ⸻ 🙏 Thanks Massive thanks to everyone following along, sharing energy, and supporting the diary — and welcome to everyone new joining the journey. As always: Growers helping growers. Trust the plant. Trust the process.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. 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.

Defoliated them yesterday. They look a bit small but that's because of the 9l pot, I guess. I hope we will see some big colas. Had no problems at all. 💪

Mejor de lo esperado. No había trabajado nunca con el banco así que no sabía exactamente que esperar pero al momento de ir avanzando en el cultivo, pude apreciar que la planta tomaba una forma hermosa e incluso en las bajas temperaturas se comportaba bastante bien. Cpe bastante recomendable incluso para cultivadores noveles
