Nothing to see here ;)

Day 21, doing some thinning. The little runt pheno in the front looks like it was barely touched from the top. I'm going to have to wait a couple days for the weekend so I can get the rest.

Bis jetzt meine größte Auto kein budrot nur gelbe Blätter. PPFD 700IR 16 fürs schlafen und aufwecken eingestellt 15+15min. UV 30 ist für 120 Minuten am tag auf 30 min unterteilt an. Grow 40 ist für 17 Stunden am Tag an.

One last week of veg then flower!!! There freaking out since i fed them, and im keeping the watering on the low side, rhe smell has also just came in like a bomb. I think by now if i didnt run into any problames then i think i wont do to bad. !!!!!Cheers to the 3rd week of veg!!!!!!

Non pensavo che queste Fast Flowering potessero crescere così velocemente! E sono curioso di vedere come prenderanno spazio le radici ora che le ho travasate nei loro vasi finali! Anche qui le piccole macchie sulle foglie sono di zeolite pure 10 micrometri di Dogma Organics e il terriccio è stato preparato con il loro 4 componenti Super Soil che è una vera bomba…diversi guani, letame bovino, micorrize, vermi compost arricchito con acidi umici e fulvici, Cal Mag fatto di rocce triturate meccanicamente, ceneri arboree e febacee tritate ecc…ditemi voi se non è un Super Terriccio questo!? In attesa delle prossime settimane 👀

Very fun strain to grow. Easy to train and love to get big. We had 2 different expressions on the plants and both where very pleasing. Both plants grew vigorously and provided me with just over 3/4 pound of dry medicine!

49 Days! Lost a day of timelapse footage, found a temporary fix tho, should not happen again. The plant stretched a little and is full on on flower. This will most likely end up as a single big bloop of bud again, sadly did not stretch as much as I liked it to be. Overall a good week. Spoiler: added lights to the bottom to get more light inside the plant at the first day of week 8, more on that next week. Values are average of the day.

3/28/25 chopped and humidity was a little high starting off 3/30/25 have them drying at 60% and 70° 4/3/25 Still needing a day or so of drying to be at a stable humidity Beautiful plant. Fan leaves with Triched out patterns visibly everywhere. Even though i chopped quite a bit off of the plant, i still got quite a bit bigger yield than i expected. All sizable nugs. Pulled 65 grams.

Seaweed Extract spray, feed through leaves for week.

Really nonflexibal cells - breaks very easylie when low stress trained with Bud Clips But she recovered every stem break and growing healthy and vigorously

Superb variety that I discovered, very tasty with sweet smell cheese and productive. I place it in my favorites, To be redone in a future culture Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/hou_stone420/ Very nice and simple grinder that i reccomand : https://shop.greenhouseseeds.nl/merchandise/hemp-grinder/

So I started LST and the girls seem to be responding well to the method. It has now been 4 weeks since the sprout and am I very excited. Might continue veg until it's eighth week and then switch to flowering.

Sour Diesel — Week 12 (Week 7 Flower) “The Ascension of a Fighter” 12/12 from seed. No safety net, no adjustment phase — just straight into the cycle. And from day one… she struggled. But she stayed. ⸻ 🌱 How did we get here — 12/12 from seed This run was built around a system — not individual plants. From germination, all plants entered the same 12/12 rhythm. No veg buffer, no separate adaptation window. And that means one thing: ➡️ The environment doesn’t adapt to the plant. ➡️ The plant adapts to the environment. Most did it smoothly. She didn’t. Different feeding sensitivity, different response to VPD, different pace. She never fully synced with the room… But she never gave up either. ⸻ 🌿 The “Unhappy” Plant That Didn’t Quit Let’s be honest — she was behind from the start. * Slower development * Less vigor early on * More sensitive to feeding and conditions In a single-plant run? She might have been considered a failure. But here’s the reality: She adapted. She corrected. She found her rhythm — late, but real. And now? She’s showing why genetics matter. ⸻ ❄️ Trichomes & Frost — Unexpected Power For a plant that struggled… The resin production is honestly impressive. * Buds coated well beyond expectation * Trichome coverage consistent across sites * That classic Sour Diesel sparkle starting to show character Not the heaviest producer in the room — but absolutely punching above her weight. ⸻ 🌸 Density & Structure This is where she surprises even more. * Smaller plant overall * But buds coming in tight and compact * Good stacking despite limited size She didn’t stretch much — but what she built, she built with intention. Dense. Focused. Efficient. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment — Why we didn’t adjust for her Important point here. This room is dialed for system stability, not individual correction. * Temps, RH, feeding — all set for the majority * Adjusting everything for one plant would destabilize the whole run So in this case: ➡️ She had to adapt to the room ➡️ Not the other way around And that’s exactly what makes her story interesting. Because she did. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition Same base feeding as the room: * Terra Bloom * Pure Zym * Sugar Royal * Power Buds * Green Sensation * CalMag Pro pH ~6.5 | EC ~2.0 She showed sensitivity early on, but stabilized over time. No chasing deficiencies. No overcorrections. Just steady input and patience. ⸻ 🧠 Observations This plant is a lesson. Not every plant thrives instantly. Not every phenotype fits the system. But resilience… that’s where the real value shows. She may not be the biggest. She may not be the easiest. But she’s earned her place in this run. ⸻ 🔮 What to expect next week * Continued resin development * Slight increase in bud density * Possible early signs of ripening (some pistil darkening) * No explosive growth — but steady finishing She’s not going to suddenly become the biggest. But she will finish properly. ⸻ ⚠️ What NOT to expect * No late stretch * No dramatic size increase * No sudden change in structure This is about refinement now, not expansion. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words To everyone following this journey: * The ones who support from day one * The new people discovering the process * The skeptics — always part of the balance * The silent watchers * The platform hosting this space * The sponsors and partners * The genetics behind this resilience And especially… This plant. Not perfect. Not easy. But real.

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.

******** Week 9 - Feb 3 to 9/20 (Days 57 - 63 from seed popping out) She has continued to swell this week and stacking her buds. The hairs are turning this week. Kind of a boring week in a way because she has been such an awesome girl to grow!! Have not spent anytime looking at Trich colour this week.....too early anyway. What I have reflected on is that this girl has been very impressive to grow even though I have thrown curve balls at her. A little more attention to the LST ensuring a more even canopy and lighten the feedings, this girl can impress!😍 I wouldn’t get let her go in a tent as she will likely be kissing the light at some point😃 XL strain anyways.💪 On bigger branches I would clip off another node lower than I did to give a little more energy to fill in the tops. Not sure this girls top colas will fill in as much as one would like but........take your time girl😀 Much debate this week over how long she will run in order to determine her last feed.🤪 She had her last feed three times😃 but it was finally Saturday Feb 8, Day 62 as the last day of feed. Plan it to just flush with water and Rezin & Liquid Weight to the end.....or early 70’s anyway. Changed the light schedule again this week. Moved her to 19.5 hours of light because she is still not falling to sleep at lights out. Given she has been very green and tips were burnt a fair bit, will likely use Flawless Finish to flush the medium. Little more detail: Feb 3/20 - Day 57 - Water feed today. Runoff in tray was 6.3pH from yesterday. - 3L plain water. 30ppm and 5.8pH going in. - One minute she looks to be swelling and then others you think she is stalling.....”watched pot” idea. Feb 4/20 - Day 58 - Full feed today. Pot still had some weight. - 3L off full feed with 1125ppm and 6.05pH - Runoff water in tray before feed: 1900ppm and 6.5pH - Runoff water in tray after feed: 1800ppm and 6.3pH - Heavy leaf strip today. She is sticky :) Feb 5/20 - Day 59 - nothing today. - noticing more red hairs today....starting to finish more.....lower is still nice and white.....harvest in stages???? - Light cycle changed to 19.5hrs on and 4.5hrs off. Feb 6/20 - Day 60 - Verify medium today....close to flush - 3L feed of Sensyzime and Rezin @ 2ml/L and Liquid Weight @ 1.5ml/L. = 100ppm and 5.8pH - Runoff was 1450ppm and 6.4pH. - Followed the feed with 2L of 5.2pH water with Sensyzime & Liquid Weight.....bring down pH. - runoff after that was 1100ppm and 6.3pH.....better :) Feb 7/20 - Day 61 - Nothing today, still heavy. Feb 8/20 - Day 62 - ********Last Feed******** - Giving a bit of a flush with Sensyzime, Rezin, and Liquid weight @ 2ml. - 6L feed with 100ppm and 5.25pH going in. - Runoff - 350ppm and 6.3pH. - Evening giver her last full strength feed as listed for the week. - Going in was 5.2pH as she was not coming down much with high 5pH feeds. - Medium got a good soak and good runoff amount - That will be it. Hope she goes 10 to 14 more days.... Feb 9/20 - Day 63 - Dry out day - raised the light a bit.....will use lower pH water in flush......not much else other than let her dry out at this stage....... - her top colas are pushing out more new growth. - the tops are getting wider and forming a point more. Hope we can drag out harvest day until Feb 22 or 23rd.......🤞😁.....Thanks for the read and hope you have a smooth week!

Wow I am amazed at the growth in the last week. I did end up losing the one grease gun but I started a new seed and so far it is off to the races. This past week I have been running the rhize veg along with hygroben hygrozyme and hyshield. Plants are loving it! So tomorrow I am topping two and going to leave two just to see the difference in growth. All plants are attached to the same reservoir so they all have access to the same nutrients solution! I also have some exciting news I am getting a UVA light for this grow so I am really excited it should be here this week!

All good;))))

No trainin No toppin Jus test run 🍓🍌🍧🍨
