Week 11 From Seed | Week 6 Flower 🌸 (Sour Diesel)
Quick Recap — How We Got Here
This run has been 12/12 from seed—no veg, no safety net.
And this Sour Diesel made that very clear from the beginning.
Early stress slowed her down, and in this style of run, that time doesn’t come back.
Just like an autoflower, every day counts—and she felt that.
She stayed smaller than the rest.
Lower water intake.
Less stretch.
But she never stopped pushing.
She adapted, stabilized, and found her rhythm again.
⸻
Current State — Week 6 Flower
Now she’s showing her true character.
• Temps: 26°C
• RH: 60%
• EC: 2.0
• pH: 6.5
• Water intake: ~1.2L/day (14.5L soil)
Not the biggest drinker—but steady and consistent.
We performed a light defoliation, opening her up and preparing her structure for the weeks ahead.
And she answered back:
Compact, dense buds
Noticeable frost building
That classic Sour Diesel energy starting to come through
Small frame—but real presence.
⸻
Observations
• Tight stacking despite limited size
• Strong resin production for her stage
• Healthy recovery after early stress
• Efficient metabolism relative to her size
• Terpene profile already hinting through
She didn’t win in size—
but she’s absolutely delivering in quality.
⸻
The Real Talk
This is what 12/12 from seed teaches you.
There’s no time to recover mistakes early on.
Every stress moment leaves a mark.
And this Sour Diesel carries that story.
But more importantly—she shows what recovery looks like.
Not every plant needs to dominate the room to earn respect.
Some earn it by fighting back and still finishing strong.
⸻
Looking Ahead — Week 7
Next week we expect:
• Buds tightening further
• Frost becoming more visible
• Terpenes getting louder—true Diesel character coming out
What not to expect:
• No major size increase
• No catching up to the larger plants
And that’s perfectly fine.
Now it’s about honoring her finish, not comparing her journey.
⸻
Gratitude 🤝
Big respect to everyone involved:
• The genetics — Sour Diesel showing resilience and character
• The gear — LEDs, tent, airflow, all working in harmony
• The sponsors — for the continued support
• The GrowDiaries platform — for letting us document the real journey
And to the community:
OGs, long-time followers, new supporters,
Those showing love and those bringing questions—
all of you are part of this.
⸻
Sour Diesel. Small frame. Loud story.
Let’s see how she finishes.

📸 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.

Die hat eine wunderschöne Wuchsform.
Die Wuchsform ist kräftig und Energie geladen.
Die Bedingungen im Growschrank sind für die Wachstumsphase Top!

Plants are drinking heavily,, "frost" is really starting to show and the purple one is clearly regaining vigor and coming back to life. I had to refine the heat mat placement alongside the pots to keep a steady 23°C at the floor and compensate for the night temp drops.

Day 21. She has taken well to the low stress training. She has started to get fed veg foods. I’m very excited to see how she turns out this time. She is one of my favorites. Some of the creamiest best tasting herb I’ve grown.

Day 28 flower, things are doing well, humidity and heat are stable, plucking off leafs as I go along now anything blocking bud sites.
I'm on week 7 of the biobizz feed schedule full dose, these girls not showing any nute burn or stress so far either I could probably push them more.
Day 33 from flip.
Heat and humidity are under control. Sitting at 27°c and 40-47% humidity with lights on. And 20°c and 47% humidity lights off.
Ph levels on feeds and watering is 6.5, there really loving the biobizz range and the marshydro tsl2000 combo. So today the plants are getting fatter and nice and dense. Its super sticky and stacking on trichomes.
These 3 beans came from The same pack, and each one smells diffrent.
Closest pheno is a really lemon citrus smell and its strong.
Middle pheno is like a sherberty smell and really tickles the 👃.
Pheno 3 at the back is like a lemon skunk, really pungent and its got the fattest buds so far too.
Day 34 flower,
Feeding molasses today in 6.5ph water, I will start the next week tomorrow and will be starting on week 8 of the bio bizz nutes schedule.
Thanks for all your support so far.
Keep on growing

Its been a typical seedling week, we noticed spots developing in a few places so we gave them all a mild nutrient solution and expect this to clear up...we decided on the 3 plants we're keeping for the grow, all but 1 seedling are of equal size, the standout is slightly underdeveloped (this could be our heavy hands)..
the 3 Kiss plants will go into 5gal pots this weekend to join 3 White Dominas (also by Kannabia) in the 4x4 under the MarsHydro FC-E6500 ❤️💡🌱
Happy harvests everyone!!

Last final defoliation done, now buds are fully exposed to the lights and the best part, harvest trim will be easier. Still it took me around 8 h altogether to defoliate all of them. Tones of buds and frost , amazing smells. Won't rush will give it a bit more to swell.

DAY 6 WEEK 2 - FLOWER
Hello fellow growers,
I'm thrilled to report that my current grow is progressing smoothly as I enter Week 2 Day 6. The plant is showing promising signs of healthy growth with no apparent deficiencies detected thus far. However, I've encountered some peculiar symptoms with the leaves; it seems like there's some tissue tearing or ripping occurring. Despite thorough inspections, I'm confident in stating that pests are not the culprit, as I haven't observed any other signs they typically leave behind. It's a bit perplexing, but I'm keeping a close eye on it.
One aspect I've been experimenting with in this grow is the use of an ExHale CO2 bag. While I had hoped for a noticeable increase in CO2 levels, I haven't seen a significant improvement. After careful consideration, I suspect that the lack of a sealed environment is hindering its effectiveness. Humidity issues prevent me from sealing the environment completely, which likely results in the CO2 being dispersed rapidly. For now, I've decided to forgo using the CO2 bags, but I'm open to revisiting them in the future if I can establish a sealed environment.
Looking ahead to the start of Week 3 of the flowering stage, I plan to introduce PK boost additives to enhance potassium intake. This strategic addition aims to support robust flower development and overall yield. Despite the minor setbacks, I remain absolutely thrilled with the progress of this run. With approximately five more weeks to go, I'm eagerly anticipating the taste and aroma of the final product.
I appreciate all the support and encouragement from fellow growers. Here's to continued success and growth! Let's Grow!

Hey everyone :-).
This week she continued to develop very nicely 😍.
I started with LST training and topping 😊.
The training took it very well and after 1-2 days it grew again immediately 👍.
This time it will be an extreme bush 😂👍.
It was poured once this week with 1.2 l.
Otherwise there is nothing to report this week.
I wish you all a lot of fun until the next update. stay healthy and let it grow 😀
