Hey now, this week went according to plan. I transplanted her to a 12.5 gallon container on Monday, and she started showing love for her new environment within 24 hours. I am still spreading out the secondaries, and will top them here in the next day or two, then there will be one set of topping left within 48-72 hours after that as she is starting to grow like a weed now that she has a nice root setup. Super excited to compare the bud growth and density with the same genetics I ran last time in a 5.4 gallon container compared to the 12.5. I hope everyone has a great halloween with more treats than tricks, unless you prefer the latter, be safe and blaze on!!!

Hi guys So day 6 of the flip and the screen is nice and full I will now let the nodes and bud sites stretch up, connecting autopots up tomorrow with just water for a week, I had to wait as needed a new air pump for the resivour. Blue cheese is a bit droopy also due to them needing water but have perked back up now. I raised the lights as I noticed the purple stems so obviously to much wattage set on the light. I am changing nutes to shogun for the autopot system, hence just the water for a week. On the whole looking good but a long way to go.

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Have fun with the update. Hey everyone ☺️. This week she has developed beautifully 😍👍. No training was done this week but next week all drives will be topped :-). It was poured once with 1 l, which is enough at the beginning because the humidity is very high 👍. I wish you all the best and have fun 🙏🏻

This girl is so big! We are just into flower and I bet my tent will struggle to hold them all.. Lol

Soooooo... I think I really fucked up haha. It's week 6 and they are huge... I didn't anticipate the stretch well and now I'm panicking. Any advice would be great because aside from getting an extra 8 inches from mounting all the way to the ceiling I'm at a loss. They are doing well aside from that though. a lot of dark spots where I could have trained better are just becoming more prevalent and I'm really seeing where I should have filled gaps and trained for a better light footprint. Adding top shooter for the first time at half strength this week, hoping to see results like the canna pk boost in the personal grow which is doing great. Oh and guess whos dumb pump started working for no reason after I got the replacement in the mail lol smh.

1/30/21Saturday morning had me lounging, watering, pruning and a photo shoot. I am hoping for a quick recovery from the middle plant after some pruning was done. I was hoping it would stretch one last time so I could move the light but I am parked there for the time. ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND! 1/31/21Yesterday’s work paid off and the plants look a bit more on the dank side today. Today’s feeding day which mean the last for week 11. Happy Growing

Letzte Tage vor dem Chop – Flieder-Terps & milchige Trichome 🌸👀 📅 Blütetag 73 | Gesamttag 133 Jetzt wirklich die letzten Meter im Double Run. Viel passiert nicht mehr – außer dass beide Ladies sichtbar auslaugen und immer zerlotterter wirken. Genau das, was man sehen will: sie ziehen jetzt konsequent die letzten Reserven aus den Blättern. Die White Gushers 33 braucht weiterhin Geduld, während die Triangle Sherbet Kush schon fast komplett milchig ist – kaum noch klare Trichome zu sehen. Reif ist sie definitiv, aber ich gebe beiden noch ein paar Tage extra, um den Sweet Spot sauber mitzunehmen. Beim Öffnen des Zelts kommt jetzt ganz klar eine florale Fliedernote durch – richtig angenehm und deutlich wahrnehmbar. Das Ganze geht in eine fruchtige, leicht süßliche Flieder-Richtung, sehr rund und schon jetzt ziemlich ausgeprägt. Seit einer Woche gibt es nur noch Wasser. Trotzdem trinken beide noch erstaunlich gut weiter – läuft also sauber bis zum Ende durch. Draußen wird’s langsam frühlingshaft, VPD deutlich entspannter – aktuell eher nebensächlich, aber zumindest keine kritische Feuchtigkeit mehr. Was mich etwas fuchst: die White Gushers 33 schiebt auf eigentlich fertigen Buds noch diese kleinen Türmchen. Nicht ideal, aber jetzt auch nichts mehr, was man noch beeinflussen kann. Ich gebe ihnen noch 3–4 Tage, maximal 5 – dann ist Schluss. ? 💬 Grow Frage Feedback – Dark Period vor der Ernte Im Zuge meiner Frage zur Dark Period vor der Ernte wollte ich das Ganze hier nochmal zusammenfassen: Vielen Dank erstmal an alle für den starken Input! 🙏 Es war wirklich interessant, die unterschiedlichen Meinungen zu sehen. Die meisten Grower sind sich einig, dass die Ernte am Morgen vor dem Einschalten des Lichts im normalen Zyklus der gängigste Weg ist. Einige setzen weiterhin auf eine 24–48-stündige Dunkelphase, während andere diese für unnötig halten und den natürlichen Rhythmus der Pflanze nicht unterbrechen wollen. Am Ende scheint es so zu sein, dass der richtige Reifegrad und das Timing wichtiger sind als eine abschließende Dunkelphase. Ich schätze die vielen Erfahrungswerte hier sehr – richtig wertvoller Input! Danke & Grow on 🌱 – Rocko 🔥 Final days before chop – lilac terps & cloudy trichomes 🌸👀 📅 Flower Day 73 | Day 133 Total Now it’s really the final stretch. Not much is happening anymore – except both ladies clearly fading and looking more worn out by the day. Exactly what you want to see: they’re pulling every last bit of nutrients from the leaves. The White Gushers 33 still needs a bit more patience, while the Triangle Sherbet Kush is already almost fully cloudy – barely any clear trichomes left. Definitely in the harvest window, but I’ll give them a few more days to really hit that sweet spot. When opening the tent now, a very clear floral lilac note comes through – super pleasant and quite pronounced. It leans towards a fruity, slightly sweet lilac profile, already very round and well developed. For about a week now, they’ve only been getting plain water. Interestingly, both are still drinking quite well – smooth finish so far. Spring is slowly kicking in outside, VPD is getting more stable – not very relevant at this stage anymore, but at least no excessive humidity. One thing that bugs me a bit: the White Gushers 33 is throwing small foxtails on already finished buds. Not ideal, but nothing you can really influence at this stage. I’ll give them another 3–4 days, max 5 – then it’s chop time. ? 💬 Community Feedback – Dark Period before Harvest Following my question about dark period before harvest, I wanted to sum it up here: Thanks everyone for the great input! 🙏 Really interesting to see the different opinions here. Most growers seem to agree that harvesting in the morning before lights turn on during the normal cycle is the most common approach. Some still like to add a 24–48h dark period, while others consider it unnecessary and prefer not to interrupt the plant’s rhythm. In the end it seems that proper ripeness and timing matters more than the final dark period itself. Appreciate all the experience shared here – lots of good insights! Thanks & Grow on 🌱 – Rocko

I think they are growing...

The seed was immersed for 12 hours in water with three drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide 11.01. Then it was immersed in a peat tablet. After throwing off the helmet, the tablet was placed in a 1 L cloth bag. Cloth bag about 15 liters Earth will be used in its own assembly: sour peat, sphagnum peat, Biohumus, perlite, vermiculite, GUANOKALONG, krill meal, bone meal, fish meal, dolomite flour, ash, sapropel, English salt. I also use trichoderma, mycorrhiza, some bacteria and organic stimulants Italian company Valagro. 80% is super soil, and 20% on top is soil for seedlings. The main pot watered Trichoderma lignorum before planting the seedling. I used the method of sprouting in a peat pad for the first time - did not like it. Better in a napkin. The first cloth pot of 1 liter is also a bad option. Next time I will take a 0.3-0.5 l paper cup for drinks.

Flowering Week 22: Buds Emerge & the Great Durban Haircut Update: 10.08.2025 | Day 156 Hey Growmies, Week 22’s got both ladies playing different games – Durban’s diving into bloom while Blueberry’s still stretching like she forgot the season. Durban Poison – Flowering Fireworks She’s all business now – white pistils poppin’ everywhere and buds startin’ to stack. Weird thing? Still barely any smell. Got no clue what this girl’s gonna taste like come harvest. Today’s mission: Giving her the big haircut she needs. Gonna clear out that jungle undercarriage for airflow. Blueberry – The Neverending Stretch This babe’s still shooting up for the sky like a rocket. Almost hit 2.10m now, sproutin’ new shoots at every bud tip like she’s in permanent preflower mode. Almost no pistils visible and a very calm smell. But she's definittely the prettiest green skyscraper in the garden. Wrap up: - Weather’s playing nice – sunshine and breeze mean zero mold nightmares (for now). - Not a single pest in sight – leaves cleaner than my Sunday shoes. - Bokashi juice twice a week keeps ’em glowing. Few yellow fan leaves? Nothin’ to sweat. Next Moves - Keep Bokashi rhythm steady – they’re lovin’ that funky juice. - Hope for Blueberry’s bud forming soon (will she hit 2.20m?). Clock is ticking. - Enjoy Durban’s bud show while waitin’ for Blueberry’s grand entrance. Grower love to y’all – catch ya next week! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Hi everyone, last week was hell... there were a lot of deficiencies going on the plants luckily the nutrients I was waiting for were finally delivered, and after feeding the girls with them just one time I can tell they work just as well as the groundswell soil I'm using from Mother Earth, now my concern for this week is if I should do the next watering with nutrients or pH'd water with calmag or just pH'd water? Also I noticed that I have 2 followers now!! I hope I get more than one female plant so it's not a disappointment... once again thanks for your support and knowledge! Update week 6 2.0 Well everything went to shit... I think I overstressed most of the plants or maybe I'm suffering of an unbelievable bad luck because after finding one male and one female and following you guys advice I started to check the other plants only to find out that all of them have similar traits to the male one (the one from my grow question), so up to now I'm standing with just one female a bunch of potential males and two little plants that were to little (because I had them in smaller pots al this time) to actually show any preflowers... so now I changed them into bigger pots and hopefully they'll come out as females!! Wish me luck 🙏

Que pasa familia, vamos con la novena semana de floración de estas Zkittelz de Seeds Mafia. La humedad está entorno al 50%, y la temperatura la tengo entre los 22/24 grados. Controlamos en ph en cada riego a 6.2. Y el agua que utilizo de riego suele estar estancada entre 24 / 36 horas, hasta aquí todo bien, tienen un buen color, ya van progresando y madurando a buen ritmo, las flores están repletas de tricomas, vemos cómo acaban las ultimas semanas. Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Dia 134 y semana 6 de floración,ultimo dia de vida de las plantas. Este año ha sido un poco raro las plantas han crecido como monstruos tuvieron un crecimiento espectacular un tallo muy grande y junto con sus ramas flexibles y muy resistentes. Pero al llegar el engorde de floración no se porque les falto el empujon final para hinchar el cogollo, tiene muy buena pinta , mucha resina y muy fuerte buen olor pero me esperaba mas en la fase final. Cortamos ya que tambien habian orugas y no terminaba de eliminarlas por completo, la semana que viene era entera de lluvias así que decidi cortar un poco mas temprano para poder prevenir cualquier mal mayor, hay mucha gente que le gusta cortar antes de tiempo ya que el efecto es muy diferente, este año probaremos que tal.

📆 Semana 5 La absorción ya es estable y el pH se mantiene controlado tras el reajuste. El coco vuelve a estar en equilibrio y el drenaje lo confirma. El stretch ha terminado y la planta centra su energía en formar y compactar flores. Los cogollos empiezan a apilar con más densidad y el verde se ve más uniforme, aunque quedan leves marcas del exceso anterior. Consolidando base para el engorde. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

This is my wife’s and I first grow and we’re really excited about it even though we’re on a super budget! Here’s a few tips about our set up: Our MarsHydro 1000 Broke So we’ve been using multiple factory in workshop LEDs and lights to ghetto rig a budget late set up. Any advice would be more than welcomed!
