This week I noticed a decent increase in height and I figured I should get LST started. I wanted to wait to transplant my ladies, but due to covid, my supply of soil is not here yet, and I can’t fill my 10 gallon pots for the transplant. I looked up online and people said you should be able to transplant the plant successfully by cutting the ties and ensuring you just don’t disturb the roots / medium. I went ahead and got started with LST and I accidentally snapped one of my plants main stems during the process. I mean literally snapped, could see the hollow centres, hanging by a thread of fibre. *so heart broke * I had read online e you can repair it with duct tape and that aloe Vera helps. I did not have duct tape handy but I got some aloe and used the ducting tape that came with my exhaust fan to try to secure it. Fingers crossed it’ll heal If I had some root stimulant I would’ve tried planting it but I don’t have any. I was wondering could that be a form of super cropping? Do you think it’ll just be like a really brutal attempt at topping the plant? Very curious about everyone else’s thoughts on this Pics are attached. Aside from that one my LST went well from what I can tell. I did not train my blue dream out of fear of wrecking my one plant of that strain. I also did not LST one of my mystery caramel due to the stem feeling the same as the one that snapped. The rest I tied down and attached photos can you guys tell me if it looks like I did it correctly ? Would love some feed back. All in all I feel like we are kicking off the week strong. Good growing to everyone

Let's put it this way, the leaves show clear problems, on the other hand the buds continue to grow well. I was only able to counter this a little with the fertiliser, but you can also see in the timelapse that it hasn't worsened any further. I have uploaded pictures of the leaves, you are welcome to give your opinion/assumption.

24/03 watered AGAIN after 2 days with 1.5L 5.9 PH 1.5 EC, 5ml/L of Terra Bloom. So far im really happy with plagron. Just one bottle for grow and one for bloom and the plants look healthy and show no signs of deficencies. really happy with the product. Moreso than biobizz, where i used Grow, bloom, calmag, activera and topmax and still fought deficencies here and there. I also am conflicted about the trellis net. I like what it does but i think my tent is too full with plants or too small to really enjoy it growing-wise. I cant move the plants and its hard to reach them during watering. So i removed it again. its an on/off relationship with us :D I also did some more defoliation, PROMISE ITS THE LAST TIME. i took out the plants of the tent for it to better reach the insides of them and made some nice videos of their progress so far. ALSO: Tent smells really good and overwhelming when i open it! sadly, it escapes pretty fast so ill put "normal" smell on here. but its decent! Watered again on 27/03, 1.5l 5ml/L Terra Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation, 5.8 PH 1.7 EC 29/03, 1.5l 5ml/L Terra Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation, 5.7 PH 1.7 EC

Hey friends, end of week 4 from seed :) - I had to transplant plant #2 from a 2 gallon pot to a 5 gallon fabric pot because roots were coming out from the 2 gallon pot, I began noticing some change in the color on leaves so I immediately decided to make the change. - Plant #2 still hasn't revealed its gender to me, I can't figure it out because I see small pistils all around the leafs but there is just one area on the main stem with to very small round balls. I am hoping pistils come out from these balls as it did on other parts of the plant. - Thinking of purchasing a bigger tent, I feel this one will fall short once this plant matures. I might leave it another 1-2 weeks in vegetative stage. - Trimmed some leaves - Performed some LST on plant #2

Que hay familia, ya estamos de nuevo, y es que estas crazy cookies estan engordando todavía, las seguimos manteniendo unas semanas más solo con agua , y a ver cómo avanzan estas semanas. Ph controlado 6,5 humedad por debajo del 40% , lo único que no estoy puedo eso controlar es la temperatura que nos subió a 28,5 grados, por lo demás, sobre ruedas. Para los próximos cultivos, cambiaremos la gama de nutrientes , más que nada por probar otras marcas. Un saludo y buenos humos fumetillas.

I’ll be harvesting this lady next week! Super frosty and very happy with the yield and density considering she is in a tiny coke can 8.5 oz. Smells sweet, dense, and yummy! Just trying to keep her upright and watered—- starting to flush now. ✌️💚🌿💨

Hey now, I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend. The ladies are getting close, all trichomes are white and milky with very little amber, so I decided to start the flush today, and I will harvest the Apple Fritter and Durban Thai X C99 next Saturday. I did harvest the Donuts and Cherry Gar-See-Ya and I will post some pics and a smoke report once cured. Thanks for stopping by and Blaze On....

Each leaf tells a story, a testament to the plant's resilience and the seasons it has weathered. The trichomes are now a sparkling crown, each one a testament to the plant's potency. Their production, color, and shape are in perfect harmony, signaling the imminent harvest. It's like a field of glistening diamonds, a visual ode to the journey we've embarked upon. As a prelude to the final act, all feedings have ceased. Our Big Cheese Auto now drinks pure water, allowing her to express her true essence in these concluding moments. It's like letting her compose the last notes of her botanical symphony. A profound thank you to Seeds Mafia for entrusting us with genetics that have flourished into this spectacular finale.

Transplanted them into the AutoPots this week, humidity could be higher. Maybe I can turn on the reservoir next week already.

All good and looking happy. Started some LST. I was undecided if I was going to train these girls but decided to do it. I gave a 1/4 feeding of Advanced Nutrients Sensi Cal Mag extra. Now that I've had a good watering schedule down with slight dry back they have been surging with growth! One starting to flower fast and the other is right behind it.

12/19/2025 What a ride! So many screw ups on my part and she still came through! I was gonna wait for tomorrow, but after checking trichomes, I decided to harvest. Another reason is because I just popped 2 new seeds. So they'll need to go in the 3x3 soon enough. I'd love to try this strain again without any issues. Lol. She came out at 41 oz. Not bad. So I might get like 4 to 6 oz out of her. Can't complain for that. 12/20/2025 Day 1 and we are looking great! Temp is at 61° f and the humidity is hanging out around 57%. I have it set to 56%, but it likes to hover over it. Fine by me! So I'm guessing around 10 to 12 days. I have 2 seeds germinating right now. It should be a couple days for Germination and then about 10 days (hopefully a little more) in the seedling stage. They'll be moved into their buckets in the main tent. The problem is the 10 to 12 days is in the main tent. Granted I can always move her to the Drying tent after Papaya Cookies finishes up. But that'll be another 7 days or so. Maybe I should do that. I still have to clean all the equipment and wipe the walls down. Should take me just a day to do that. And another day to get the environment acclimated back to 77° and 60% humidity. Anyway, that's all for today. Let's hope it all pans out and I don't have to move her to the dry tent. I just don't want to move her at all. Not until it's trimming time. (I have to trim in the tent so I don't overwhelm my apartment with weed smell. Otherwise I would trim right in my living room. I remembered something. The roots of this little lady were super clear. Not clean by any stretch of the imagination, but but definitely clear. Especially in the pebbles. I have a feeling the sludge from Papaya Cookies was due to the top feeding system. It brought nutrients from the bottom up. But I over fed, so the salts all built up at the top of the water and that's what caused the pH fluctuations. Has to be it. And the light damage. 12/21/2025 Day 2 of drying. I have a time lapse video I'm making of the drying process. Unfortunately it's in night vision, you can only see that. But who cares! It's a time lapse video. They're cool. Nothing else to report. I'll take a picture on day 7 so we can see the difference. Other than that, it'll be short entries like this one. She smells delicious. I know the smell of going to go away for a bit and then come back with a vengeance. 12/22/2025 I suppose a picture is in order. It's only been 3 days. But there you have it. Nothing else to report. Staying strong at 63° and 56%. Something to report: So my pre-filter got clogged and blocked the air flow. By a whole lot. I tried to get it out, but it's kinda stuck there, so I squeeeched it on on itself like an accordion. That worked not great, but now there's air flow. I don't think I'm gonna run another pre-filter next run. Or maybe I will but not until flowering starts. Maybe it'll last the rest of the run. I just don't know how so much dust got in there. My house is honestly spot free. Like vacuumed every other day, wipe surfaces as needed so I don't have to spend a day going through the whole apartment. I do one room a day. So it's never dirty. Spotless apartment. Hell, I move the furniture around every other week to get under. Well, except for the entertainment center. That's kinda too big to move around. Or well heavy. Too much for me to move around at least. But everything else gets moved. The point is, there's very little dust in the apartment. So where did all this shit come from? Would it be the humidifier? I read somewhere that humidifiers launch dust or some sort of compound. Either way, it somehow clogged a pre-filter. At least my carbon filter is clean. Definitely gonna have to figure that one out. 12/23/2025 Day 4 of drying So this is the EXACT reason I kept my humidifier in the tent. It ran out of water this morning and by the time I got up the humidity was down to 37%. Hence why I keep the humidifier in the tent. As a matter of fact, my Papaya Cookies had the same problem. The humidifier ran out of water. Clearly I forgot to fill them up. Lol. Whoops. Anyway, that kinda makes me wonder how others keep the humidity up to a high 50s%. And no, I will not be moving to a tropical climate. Admit it, some of you are thinking that. But seriously. How do you keep your tent in range? Because the ONLY way to do it is to have a humidifier in the tent. It's the only way. Or have it outside of the tent, but either way, you need a humidifier on and running. Mine runs when the humidity drops below 55% then stops at 56%. Honestly I don't know why I'm not getting a range like with the AI. Frankly I think they need to add a drying stage in the AI system. The only annoying thing is the AI does 12/12 even though it's set up for an autoflower. I didn't change it from veg. Just in case something got messed up. We'll see when the next run gets there. Alright. She's on day 4 and has another good 8 days to go. Definitely. If not a day or 2 longer. She is very leafy and I didn't trim as much as I wanted to. I just couldn't reach some of the leaves on the inside. I didn't cut sugar leaves. I want them for concentrate. I think the actual Dry Tent will be free in a few days. Maybe 2, maybe 3. Who knows. Well, me. But I could be wrong. Lol. I will be needing it before long. I have my Apple Strudel and Blue Dream already seedlings and will mostikely need to be transplanted in the next 4 to 5 days. If not sooner. I'm really hoping I'm right and the Dry Tent will be free in a 2 or 3 days. Time crunch! 12/24/2025 Day 5 drying So I moved Lemon Cherry Cookies into the dry tent today. My Papaya Cookies was ready for trimming. Trim jail. So far it's been pretty bouncy because I had the main tent open. Other than that, nothing else to report. Lol 12/25/2025 Happy holidays everyone! Day 6 of drying. I'd say a few more days. So I forgot to fill the humidifier again! I'm setting an alert on my phone damnit. Anyway, the humidity was down to 37% no clue for how long. Probably a few hours. She's not done yet, but that sped up the process a lot faster than I wanted. Damnit. Oh well. I'm gonna have to figure out a better setup. 3 more days maybe? I tried brushing off some of the leaves with my cannabrush, but nothing was moving. Hence not done. Good to know. Cuz that thing is really only good for big buds. Not the small ones I have. Shame that. Maybe I'll get some nice fat nugs next run. 12/26/2025 Day 7 Ok so I live in an apartment house. There's 3 apartments. One downstairs and the other 2 upstairs. I'm in an upstairs unit. Well, SOMEONE (lower apartment dwellers) fucked with the fucking heat! I woke up to a 54° apartment in the middle of winter. The dry tent was 50° as well. I have a space heater, but it's not enough. The temp is up to 62° in the apartment and 51° in the tent. I'm keeping the tent humidity low so I don't get mold while I figure out when these assholes are gonna turn the heat back up. Seriously pissed off. And FREEZING! Anyway, it's only day 7 drying and I'm already feeling dried bud. The branches aren't snapping but hollow and will crush in between my fingers. It'll snap then, but like not when I bend the branch. I think I'm gonna have to ask a question. Or look it up. 12/27/2025 Day 8. I think she's done drying. I was going for 11 days, but clearly that's not happening. Not with the temp swing. Either way, I can smell the doneness and the snap test is ummmmmmm working? Things are snappy now, so I'm gonna trim today. I'll let the curing bags do the thing if they're too wet. Well, that's it for this part of my grow diary. Hoped you enjoyed the read and got some vital info of what NOT to do. Lol. For the rest of the diary, go to the smoke report. Thanks all for checking it out. 12/28/2025 Well, it's trimming day. I forgot to fill the damned humidifier again. So I woke up to 35% humidity in the dry tent. Everything was working fine until I turned the main tent on. The heater started blowing hot humid air instead of the exhaust fan venting it out. So I took that apart. Now I'm trimming in the tent with the humidifier on so it can keep the rest of the plant from getting brittle. I feel like it's a relace against time. Gotta get everything in the grove bags.

This week has been a tough week as my son got into a bad accident so I wasn’t able to be home with the plants. I was away in the hospital for five days. I must say the one time I wasn’t home the system failed me by not draining after one of the feeding. In which caused my plants to get a little bit of a deficiency and bite burn as well. So I was very disappointed in that. Other then that they kept growing at light speed and the topped one is like oooooo watch me watch me and just showing off lol 😆! I don’t have many pictures from my phone only from my camera in the tent. So not the best quality but it’s something right? Well that’s it for now growmies wish everyone a great week and be safe and hold your loved ones as close as possible!!!!

11/27 She’s not getting enough of the light. I’m working on another grow space so she can get more light penetration. Considering I let her stretch so much and not getting adequate light. She’s looking pretty good. Buds are already looking dense.

Grow diary 11 stage 7 Day 61-70 She has had to fend for herself most of the last 9 days. When I got back I was hoping she would be in flower. 70 days in and not in flower so she has fucked up my schedule a bit. But on the plus side she going to have a bigger harvest from the extra veg time.
