All materials are used under the principles of fair use, and no copyright infringement is intended. I aim to share timeless wisdom in a respectful manner. Aristotle said "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Those who are able to refrain from judgement long enough to genuinely research and weigh the evidence from all sides of a given subject are those most likely to arrive at the truth. Those who instantly resort to knee-jerk ridicule and continue to believe whatever they were first taught are those most easily deceived. Raised UVB light to final position. (No more very high intensity UV-B inhibiting hypocotyl elongation, including the regulation of growth-inhibiting hormone gibberellin GA). We want LOTS of gibbereeeeelin! Very high light intensity can slow vertical growth, which I call releasing the kraken. She just doesn't want to grow vertically for 18 hours any longer; once the flower is initiated, that goes right out the window. Apical dominance is shattered; you now have every single stem fighting for survival against each other, with none given particular precedence. That is some stretch for a week, explosion. Doesn't matter if they are crowded now; there is space up ahead, and plant perception will fill every inch of available space. The divine intelligence that drives plant growth is far more efficient than any canopy I could make or spread myself. No defoliation. Sometimes you just need to give her what she needs to fill the space herself. All I do is guide the initial framework into the desired outcome, keep everything else flowing and in optimal parameters. Fast-growing leaves to have a lighter green color, sometimes appearing almost yellowish-green, because they haven't had time to produce much chlorophyll yet. New leaves are soft and pale, but they will gradually darken and become a deeper green as they mature and are exposed to light. Every morning, new lime green, with the micros supercharged, may be immobilizing nitrogen in the medium, magnesium was creeping in earlier, so I'll try to hold the line and see what progresses. The ratio of sugar leaves to buds is determined by a combination of hormonal signaling, nutrient availability, and genetics. Sugar levels act as a key signaling molecule, with high sugar availability influencing hormones like auxins and cytokinins to promote bud outgrowth, while nutrient deficiencies can limit development. Specific genes also play a critical role in leaf and bud initiation, expansion, and the overall balance of growth. Buds are like balloons! Need lots of pressure to blow up lots of balloons! Sugar balloons! Plant transpiration and turgor pressure are crucial for bud development because turgor pressure provides the cell expansion needed for growth, while transpiration creates a "pull" that draws water and nutrients up through the plant to fuel this process. High turgor pressure is essential for cells to grow and expand, allowing buds to open and young leaves to unfurl. Transpiration maintains this necessary turgor by driving a continuous flow of water from the soil up to the leaves, where it evaporates. No holding back, this is it, 4-5 weeks of all-out war! What we develop now will be all we have for the final 4-5 weeks. The carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio indicates how much carbon is in a substance relative to its nitrogen, affecting nitrogen availability in soil through microbial activity. A high C:N ratio (like in straw or corn residue) requires soil microbes to use a significant amount of nitrogen for decomposition, temporarily tying it up and making it unavailable to plants. A low C:N ratio results in a more rapid release of nitrogen for plant use. The carbon-to-sulfur C:S ratio in plant residue determines whether soil microbes will immobilize or mineralize sulfur (S) during decomposition. This affects the availability of sulfate SO42, the primary form of S that plants can absorb. Mineralization is the process by which microbes decompose organic matter and release excess nutrients, like sulfate, into the soil in an inorganic, plant-available form. Immobilization is the reverse process, where microbes absorb inorganic sulfate from the soil to meet their own nutritional needs, making it unavailable to plants. Glucose typically uses more oxygen than sucrose in a medium because it can be metabolized more directly, while sucrose must first be broken down into glucose and fructose, which can involve additional energy costs and a slower overall process. However, the efficiency of oxygen use can vary depending on the specific organism and conditions, as some bacteria, for instance, can use sucrose for a growth advantage under certain circumstances by producing exopolysaccharides that are more efficient at oxygen extrusion. Why glucose is generally more oxygen-efficient: •Glucose is a monosaccharide and can be used directly by many organisms in cellular respiration. •It does not require an initial enzymatic step to break it down before entering the metabolic pathway, unlike sucrose. •Due to its direct use, glucose can lead to a faster rate of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production in comparison to sucrose under typical aerobic conditions. Why sucrose might seem to use more oxygen in certain contexts: •When sucrose is metabolized, it is first broken down into glucose and fructose. This initial hydrolysis is an extra step that requires enzymes. •The fructose component is metabolized differently from glucose, and its specific metabolic pathway can affect the overall oxygen demand. •Some organisms may have regulatory mechanisms that lead to a higher initial oxygen demand when switching from glucose to sucrose, especially if the organisms have specific metabolic pathways that are optimized for sucrose. •While glucose may be used faster, sucrose might provide a growth advantage under certain oxygen-limited conditions due to the specific metabolic pathways and products it can generate. Seems my initial concept of sucrose was inaccurate. Really need to study up on all of this in the coming months. Take care. “A cat has 9 lives” “On cloud 9” “Dressed to the nines” To go “the whole nine yards” “A stitch in time saves nine” “Nine-ness” seems to be synonymous with the maximum, with the furthest extent of what’s possible. With fullness, completion, and when every effort has been exhausted. In the ancient world (which is, let’s face it, is where numbers and their spiritual power were understood SO much more than they are today) the number 9 resonated with sacred structure and the furthest limitations of this world before human experience meets the Divine. Perhaps more than any other, the number nine had an extra special significance, which spread far and wide. It features across pretty much all cultures, worldwide, rippling through culture, mythology, history, law and time. Nine is the central number in the ancient Celtic tradition. Nine expresses through the triple Goddess (see Number 3) and in myths of the nine Celtic maidens or sorceresses. In fact, stories of nine mystical women presiding over nature spread from England, Ireland and Wales to Scandinavia, Iceland, and even as far as Kenya. Even today, it’s tradition for nine groups of nine men to dance around Beltane fires. The limit of winter (which is what Beltane Almost all of the mythological tales from around the world have patterns of the number 9 weaving throughout. The Northern European sagas tell of Odin, who rules over the nine Norse worlds. His trial to win the secrets of wisdom for mankind was to hang on the Yggdrasil tree for nine days. Demeter, the Greek Goddess of the Earth searched for nine days for her daughter Persephone (who was in the underworld with Hades). Demeter is often depicted holding nine pieces of corn. Once recovered, Persephone was obliged to spend three months per year below the ground, and nine months above. Native American, Mayan and Aztec myths tell of a total of nine cosmic levels (and many of the temples comprise 9 stories). And in ancient China, nine was the most auspicious number of divine power: the Chinese had nine sacred rites, nine social laws, nine classes of officials in the government and built nine-story pagodas. In astrology, the planet Mars vibrates to the frequency of the nine. The ninth sign of the Zodiac is Sagittarius (where the Sun sails from November 22nd – December 21st) InTarot, card number nine is the Hermit. In Hinduism, nine is the number of Brahma. In the Greek Sagas, the city of Troy was under siege for nine years. 9

Deep Forest Auto is moving along. Shevhad another ph bottom out. I am not providing enough irrigation and the feed has been too strong is my conclusions. Organic nutrition is high in salts. Hopefully this will be fully resolved by tomorrow. 🤞🏻she finishes up soon.

Quasi giunti al termine, questa bellezza produce grappoli di cime dall'odore di grappoli d'uva fragola e una nota floreale alla lavanda, oltre ad avere un aspetto bellissimo con colorazioni violacee di fiori e tricomi, il caldo delle settimane passate le ha causato foxtailing che mi avrà fatto perdere qualche grammo, ma mi ha regalato cime dalla forma insolita a mio parere molto belle da vedere. Lei come le altre piante del ciclo sta bruciando i tempi e oggi al giorno 73 sono in procinto di tagliare non facendomi trarre in inganno dai pistilli bianchi usciti dai calici del foxtailing, se aspettassi che diventino bruni loro, la pianta che già ha un massiccio effetto narcotico di per sé diventerebbe troppo matura. Completamente innamorato della genetica opium di @DivineSeeds grazie mille! Al prossimo round andrò a coltivare la opium auto originale! manca solo lei e non c'è due senza tre!

I'm happy with the way she's turning out.. bud sites everywhere! Starting to smell skunky, but nothing overwhelming!

Moin, Die Tiger Style dominiert mit ihrem Terpenen den Geruch im Zelt und ich muss jetzt schon sagen, dass ich soetwas noch nie gerochen haben und trotzdem trifft es meinen Geschmack perfekt. Das Profil wird von einem starken Lavendelgeruch dominiert, der von einem tropisch anmutigenden Profil begleitet wird, dabei würde ich nicht direkt sagen das es Tangie. Zur Zeit ist das der erste Strain bei dem ich am liebsten Stecklinge genommen hätte um diese Sorte zu bewahren, nur am Platz dafür würde es dann doch mangeln... Mittlerweile hat die Trichombildung auch Fahr aufgenommen, auch wenn sie nicht an das Ausmaß der Lemon Z herankommt ist das Terpenprofil deutlich stärker ausgeprägt. Bisher hat der Strain sich als äußerst entspannt und widerstandsfähig gezeigt. Einzig durch den starken Stretch ist die Tiger Style etwas zu nah an die LED gekommen und eine Bud zeigt leichtes Photobleaching, dich habe nun versucht noch ein paar extra cm an Platz herauszuholen ohne den Akf oder Lüfter auszubauen, da das mit laufendes Grow mit viel Pain verbunden ist. Man kann bereits sehen, dass die Buds zu großen Colas heran wachsen (kommt auf den Bilder wenig so rüber), dabei ist das Blatt zu Blüte Verhältnis nicht optimal, aber ich muss es nochmal erwähnen das Terpenprofil ist wirklich einzigartig und gefällt mir extrem gut!

Despite the splendid aroma and delicious profile, the cultivation process of "Blueberry Auto" proved to be less favorable than promised. My expectations collided with reality when the plant remained relatively small, despite all my efforts. The sown seeds exhibited a discouraging germination rate, and even those that sprouted turned into mutants, adding unpredictability to the process. Despite these challenges, it cannot be denied that the scent and taste of this strain are so captivating that they compensate for many cultivation shortcomings. This raises food for thought: in the pursuit of the perfect growing experience, where aroma and plant size become paramount, how does one strike a balance?

13.06. Girl Scout Cookies-Day 49# The plant is at the end of its seventh week today, it has progressed nicely, if it hadn't been for the problem described in the text below, it would have been better, but my God 5 nights ago there was a strong storm, the morning after the storm when I came to the site, I found some plants crooked, some normal, but there were no broken ones, thank God, but they were very stressed and what you can see in the pictures appeared on the leaves, some leaves were crispy at the edges, but still green, mostly shoots before the newest ones. I haven't had this problem before, I researched a bit on the internet and came to the conclusion that the wind burned them, and I also turned to GW for an opinion, two characters confirmed my opinion. Two days later I noticed that the matter was getting worse and that it was spreading, which worried me, so I contacted GW again for an opinion. Some told me that it was mold, some that it was an infection, disease and so on, mostly guesswork, but no one specifically told me what was certain, so I decided on nim oil, and whatever it is, I guess the problem should be solved. According to some leaves, I would say that insects might be the problem, but I really don't know, I haven't had similar problems before. I regulate the ph of the plants, I still don't feed them, there is food in the ground for another week, except for the fact that I added cal-mag after that storm when I watered them. I want to say that the plants are certainly not locked, and the heat is not yet so high that this would happen from the same, the more the temperatures have dropped and now it is perfect. Since transplanting, I have watered the plants only 2 times. Yesterday morning they were topped for the second time, only the main branches, I will do the next topping of the side branches. Last night I sprayed the plants with neem oil and already today the problem seems to be going away, if I tripped at least it doesn't spread further, that's for sure. I didn't mix the oil very well, I didn't add any soap or anything like that because I wouldn't really spray the plants with any chemicals, and on some of the leaves on one or two plants there is that thick, brownish liquid, so I hope it won't hurt them, I noticed that today during the day, I couldn't see it at night. I still don't know what the problem is, but my guess is still that the wind burned them or some insects. Speaking of insects, I think I noticed thrips on one plant on the underside of the leaf, so in addition to the neem oil I already gave, I also ordered SMC, so I will spray that at least once a week while they are still young. Happy Growing and Stay High!!!

Hi everyone!So i had to rearrange the whole thing because i was doing it all wrong.To be clear 3 gorilla glue and two wedding cheesecakes and in the smaller pot a haze that was added later by a friend of mine.The smallest gg was born a week later so that explains the size i guess. cheers!

Just put them in the towel today. Expecting them to pop within 24 hrs and ready to plant in 3 days so spending the time thinking up names for the 2 girls They've both popped bang on the estimate. One even has a 3mm long taproot already. My coir has been reclaimed from 2 previous grows and the perlite has degraded so rather than wash up stones from the garden I've thrown in a few handfuls of lego bricks. They're non reactive to anything I'm going to put in there so should work just fine. Plus I've got plenty of the shit kicking around. I went back today and nearly shit myself at the progress. 1 had nearly sprouted fully so I got the nutes mixed and stuck them in the coir with an extra drink and a bottle canopy. Week 1 will begin with the first ground being broken

The plant is growing very good i dont see any problems. I started with the LST training and cut 1 branch of wich wouldnt get much light.

9/16 Day 8: transplanted 3 of them into 1 gallon plastic pots. they werent very rooted but the roots they did have were healthy and thick. will transplant the others as soon as i can. Up potted about half of the tent. i need to set up another tent 9/18 day 10 transplanted the last 2 plants into 1 gallon pots. im reusing soil with them and i dont normally do that. hoping that there arent any random issues to pop up. 9/19 finally numbered the plant's. #1 is the one that's looking more sativa leaning. she has longer petioles or fan leaf stems. Longer, thinner leaves and has stood out from the rest from the very beginning. im going to use the terms indica/ sativa and hybrid as generalized terms. on the other end #5 is super short and tightly spaced nodes. has a more even indica style look to her. #'s 2-4 i have noted as being "hybrid" as in they look to be a mix of both and not on one end or the other such as #1 and #5 are. also onr of the hybrid ones has super thick indica maple leaf style leaves that stands out as well. these are more so for my notes and i understand that these are all technically hybrids 60/40 sativa/indica i believe.

Nothing new this week. She's still growing steadily and the nutes seem to be doing a good job so far. I'm using the Dual Fuel with a bit of Growth Solution to raise the EC to follow the Green Plant Nutes program and it feels like it's right so I'm keeping like that. The light is set to 100% as the plants are healthy and the weather is getting a bit too cold. I upgraded my second inlet fan from a generic 150mm ball bearing fan to a 125mm Phresh Hyper Fan V2 w/ speed control. Now my tent is so much quiet with both Hyper Fans V2 working on blowing fresh air in and out. Maybe I get a Phresh Hyperfan V2 Climate Controller to manage them automatically next upgrade.

Time challenged again so comments a a whole lot of shit talk are in the video.

So, with the harvest complete and the dry finished, the rest is now going into jars for the final cure and storage. Overall I enjoyed this grow, it needed minimal interventions and had a smaller work load compared to the other grows. The amount of dried flowers is 752g (1.11gpw) so a decent haul, I threw a lot of B grade buds in the hash bag due to the large number of low level flowering sites (I need to rethink my canopy management) and also with the lack of stretch after flipping made the internodal spacing a bit too tight. Managed to extract 215g of grade a hash from her as well which I have pressed into a slab (pictures). I learned many things along the way, namely root health and the importance of keeping organic additions as low as possible. I also decided to try out clones for my next run, just to get a little more canopy and growth consistency - those of which are in an aeroponics tub at the moment waiting to root (picture). Thanks for those of you who followed along most of the way, good luck with all your grows!

This is one of my favorite strains. For sure one that i will always have in my own personal seed bank.

? Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A Week 6 | Every Plant Speaks Its Own Language Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If you've been following this project from the beginning, you'll know that every plant in this room shares exactly the same environment, the same lighting, the same irrigation system, and the same general care. The only thing that truly separates them is their genetics—and that's precisely what makes this project so fascinating. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A continues her journey under a strict 12/12 light cycle from seed, growing inside the AutoPot system beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED while being carefully documented from germination all the way to harvest. Every week reveals a little more of her personality. And this week... She had something to tell me. ⸻ 🌱 Full Steam Into Flower There is no doubt anymore. Vegetative growth is now behind us, and this beautiful lady has fully committed herself to flowering. The stretch continues, fresh pistils are appearing across the canopy, and every branch is now focused on producing future flower sites rather than new vegetative growth. The framework that was patiently built over the previous weeks is now beginning to pay dividends. Thanks to the early leaf bending, gentle canopy management, and allowing the plant to naturally find her shape, light is reaching deep into the canopy, encouraging flowering sites throughout the entire plant. Sometimes doing less allows the plant to do more. This week was exactly that. Rather than introducing additional training, I simply allowed her to continue expressing herself naturally while closely observing how she responded. ⸻ 🍽️ A Hungry Lady One thing became increasingly obvious during the week. Compared to some of the other ladies in the room, Blueberry Muffin Pheno A is asking for more food. The lighter colour developing on some of the older fan leaves isn't a cause for panic—it is simply the plant telling me that her nutritional demand has increased now that flowering is accelerating. This is one of the interesting challenges of running several different genetics together. Ideally, every plant would receive a feeding program tailored specifically to its own appetite. In reality, when multiple cultivars share the same environment and irrigation system, compromises sometimes have to be made. The important part is recognising what the plant is communicating and responding before it becomes a genuine deficiency. That's exactly what I've started doing. Over the coming weeks, nutrient strength will be increased slightly to better match her appetite while continuing to monitor how she responds. Growing is a conversation. This week, Blueberry Muffin simply spoke a little louder than the others. ⸻ 🌿 Development Despite asking for more nutrition, her overall development continues to impress. The main stem remains strong, secondary branches have stretched beautifully, and numerous flowering sites are beginning to establish themselves throughout the canopy. Looking from above, it's easy to appreciate how evenly the branches have developed. The earlier leaf bending has done exactly what it was intended to do—opening the plant without forcing it into an unnatural shape. Instead of one dominant flowering top, multiple branches are now competing for the light, creating what should become a very productive canopy over the coming weeks. Every day she looks a little less like a young plant... ...and a little more like the Blueberry Muffin I've been waiting to meet. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The room continues providing stable conditions as flowering progresses. • 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C • 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative humidity: 60% • 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient solution: 22°C • ⚗️ pH: 6.0 • ⚡ EC: 1.78 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 693 ppm • 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Humidity has now been reduced compared to the previous weeks as the plants move deeper into flower, creating a more suitable environment for healthy bud development while maintaining excellent transpiration. Everything remains stable, allowing the plants to focus their energy exactly where we want it—into flowers. ⸻ 🌱 Feeding The AutoPot system continues running beautifully, providing a constant supply of fresh nutrient solution whenever the AquaValve calls for it. Current reservoir: • Plagron Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Sugar royal — 1 ml/L • Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L • pH adjusted to 6.0 As Blueberry Muffin has shown a greater appetite than some of the other plants, I'll gradually increase her nutrition over the coming weeks while carefully monitoring both leaf colour and overall plant health. The goal isn't simply to feed more. It's to feed exactly what the plant is asking for. ⸻ 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs tell a very honest story. The developing flower sites are becoming easier to spot, the vertical growth has slowed into a more controlled stretch, and the canopy continues filling with healthy new growth. Some of the fan leaves clearly reveal the lighter colour that first caught my attention this week, serving as a useful reminder that plants are constantly communicating if we take the time to observe them closely. Photography isn't just about capturing beautiful plants. Sometimes it's one of the best diagnostic tools a grower can have. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Over the next week, my attention will be focused on two things. First, allowing the flowers to continue stacking naturally as the stretch begins slowing down. Second, watching closely to see how Blueberry Muffin responds to the slight increase in nutrition. If everything goes according to plan, I expect the foliage to regain a richer green while the plant continues directing her energy into flower production. The foundation has been built. Now it's time to let those flowers take centre stage. ⸻ 💚 Thank You As always, a huge thank you to everyone following this journey. Whether you've been here since germination or you've only recently discovered the diary, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment, every question and every piece of advice. Projects like this become far more rewarding because they're shared with an amazing community of growers from around the world. A special thank you goes to GrowDiaries for providing the platform where we can document these adventures and continue learning from one another. To Zamnesia, thank you for the fantastic Blueberry Muffin genetics that continue to reveal more personality with every passing week. To Plagron, thank you for providing the nutrition and growing media that keep these ladies thriving from start to finish. And to Future of Grow LED, thank you for delivering the light that fuels every stage of this journey and helps these plants perform at their very best. Finally, thank you for being here. Every diary, every photograph, every success, and every lesson learned is even more meaningful because it's shared with this incredible community. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Blueberry Muffin continues her journey through flower. 💚🌱

Aquí han pasado al interior, comienza la floración, día 26/08.

My OG Kush seedling is looking fantastic! It's branching out really well, with strong, sturdy stems and vibrant deep green leaves. There's a sweet, almost creamy scent coming from it that reminds me of an Oreos plant I grew a while back. It's got that classic OG Kush vigor, and I'm excited to see how it develops! The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this past week! We've been hitting that sweet spot of 70 degrees during the day, perfect for getting outside and soaking up some sun. Then, it cools down to a comfy 50 degrees at night, which is ideal for sleeping with the windows open. I've been loving all the fresh air! I finally got around to building that little wooden planter for my windowsill. It was a fun project, and now my regular plants have a nice new home. It really brightens up the room, and I'm thinking of adding some herbs to it soon. Maybe I'll even try growing some basil!
