The entries in this journal are derived from daily voice memos recorded throughout the grow. A large language model (LLM) assisted with transcription and editorial organization, while all observations, measurements, and cultivation decisions were documented during the grow itself. ────────── Introduction Lilac Diesel RBX2 is a photoperiod cultivar from ETHOS Genetics known for combining classic fuel-forward terpenes with dense resin production and vigorous vegetative growth. Plants typically exhibit strong lateral branching, moderate stretch after the transition to flower, and finish in approximately 8 to 9 weeks under a 12/12 lighting schedule. Aromas are commonly described as a blend of diesel, floral notes, citrus, and sweet berry. This plant also serves as a useful comparison against the Lilac Diesel Autoflower from ETHOS Genetics. Growing both versions concurrently provides an opportunity to observe differences in vigor, plant architecture, branching, flowering behavior, resin production, and overall performance while minimizing environmental variables. ────────── Germination & Early Seedling Weekly Summary Lilac Diesel Photoperiod was germinated on July 9 as part of a second wave of genetics added to the garden. The seed was kept between 80-85* F throughout germination. Germination was straightforward, and the seedling established successfully after transplanting into its final 3-gallon fabric pot. Early development has been healthy and proportional, with compact growth, good color, and the first true leaves already expanding. ────────── Environmental Summary Average Temperature: 74.0°F Average Relative Humidity: 69.7% Average VPD: 0.87 kPa ────────── Germination Method The seed was germinated using a simple paper towel method. It was placed between damp paper towels inside a sealed resealable plastic bag, which was then kept on a heat mat inside the clone tent. This provided a warm, humid environment that encouraged rapid germination while minimizing moisture loss. Once a healthy taproot had developed, the seed was transferred directly into its final 3-gallon fabric pot. Before planting, the soil was thoroughly watered to runoff to ensure even moisture throughout the container. Subsequent irrigation remained conservative, allowing the upper surface of the medium to dry slightly while maintaining moisture deeper in the root zone. During establishment, the seedling received light irrigations of approximately 75 mL whenever conditions warranted. ────────── Seedling Development The seedling emerged without difficulty and quickly established healthy cotyledons. The first set of serrated leaves followed shortly afterward and continues to expand with healthy color and symmetrical growth. Compared with the older autos in the tent, Lilac Diesel Photoperiod is naturally several days behind in development, but its overall structure has remained proportional throughout establishment. The stem is upright with minimal stretch, internodal spacing remains tight, and the developing canopy appears balanced. The plant has now entered the seedling stage with healthy establishment, making it a suitable baseline for the side-by-side comparison with the Lilac Diesel Autoflower as both plants progress through the remainder of the grow.

week intel: its time to harvest some of plants the ones that is mature enough. indica dominant plants will done first always so we should harvest them first because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days stresses : flushing Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week feeding: day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph day 3 : no more feeding from now on day 5 : no more feeding from now on guide of the week : i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave. indica dominant plants will get done 1 or 2 weeks sooner than sativa dominant plants that will often takes more than 8 weeks so be aware to harvest them sooner. my dry and cure style is this: 3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

Overall I'm extremely impressed with this strain. Terpene profile definitely leans traditional GG#4. Extremely pungent and lingering aroma. I personally wouldn't consume this if I had any plans for the day. Definitely helps with my sleep issues. The bud to leaf ratio was above average and fairly easy to trim. The bud themselves are extremely resinous and dense. So if you've followed this grow you'll know I made to change back to organic growing and made a light change mid grow. I'm glad I went back to organics because it's always been the favorable growing style of mine. I switched to a light bar style LED from Kind LED lights and noticed a big difference over the Spider Farmer. Now let me state that the Kind pulls more watts and should technically on paper out perform the smaller SF2000 from Spider Farmer. This is not at all a slam against Spider Farmer because I love my Spider lights. I really didn't do anything special this grow other than my normal routine. I topped multiple times and the rest was a mixture of LST and HST techniques. I finished in a 10 Gallon pot to try and fill my canopy to provided grow area. The organics I pretty much kept as simple as possible. Amended soil before transplant and topdressed every 4 weeks. What I would consider the most important aspect of organic growing is to not let the soil dry out and keep the microbial life in your soil prosperous and happy. Well im not very good at this at all but I do hope everyone enjoyed this grow and appreciate all the support and comments ❤️. Thank you. Oh I pulled 12.47 ounces off of this plant dried 😁

Las flores cada vez mas olorosas, ya dejaron de estirarse y están engordando bastante, todo apunta a una abundante cosecha 😁... Abajo les cubri la tierra con bolsas de plastico para reducir la población de moscas, no son minadores de hojas sino mis plantas ya estarían muy mal con la cantidad de mosquitas que tengo. Ahora reduje los riegos a una vez por semana, porque como tienen 80 litros tienen bastante reserva de humedad. Los bichos bolita también se reprodujeron bastante, la próxima seguro subo vídeo o fotos de los bichos que tengo en las macetas.

Amnesia Skunk Auto · Week 12 From Seed The Zamnesia Way 🌿 Week 12 from seed, and the room is speaking clearly now. The pace has changed. The structure is set. The stretch is long behind us. What we are watching now is the final conversation between plant, soil, and time. This week marks a quiet but important shift: the feed is gone, the bottles are mostly out, and the room is moving into its last phase with little more than water and time. Not because the plant has stopped. Because it already has what it needs. ⸻ From Seed to Here This run was never about chasing size. It was about letting the plant express itself honestly. From the beginning, these Amnesia Skunk Autos stayed compact, controlled, and efficient. Not the tallest in the room. Not the loudest in stretch. But from early on, they showed exactly what they wanted to be: short internodes, dense flower sites, tight stacking, and a natural tendency to build weight instead of height. That is the shape of this plant. And now, in late flower, that early structure is paying itself back. The canopy stayed manageable. The frame stayed compact. And all that energy went where it matters now — into resin, density, and flower mass. This is why reading plant structure early matters. Not every plant wants to become a tower. Some would rather become stone. And that is exactly what these did. ⸻ Week 12 — What Is Changing Now This week the room shifts gears. The bulk is mostly built. The flowers are set. The plant is no longer trying to produce more structure — now it is finishing what it already made. And that changes everything. The metabolism slows. Water demand begins to taper. Nutrient demand drops. Uptake changes. The plant becomes less interested in growth and more interested in completion. That is where we are now. So this week we simplify. Less input. Less interference. Less feeding. More observation. Because late flower is not the time to force more. It is the time to let the plant finish speaking. ⸻ Why We Moved to Water Only (And Why Pure Zym Stays) This week the nutrient stack is stripped back and the room moves into water-only irrigation, with one exception: Pure Zym. That is intentional. At this stage, the plant is no longer asking for aggressive nutrition. It is asking for access. And that is what enzymes help provide. Pure Zym stays in because the soil is still alive. Even when bottles are reduced, the medium is not “empty.” It is still biologically active. Still processing. Still cycling. Still breaking down what remains. That matters now more than people think. The plant may be drinking less feed, but the soil is still working. And enzymes help keep that system moving by supporting the breakdown of leftover organic material, dead root matter, and residual compounds in the medium — making them easier for microbial life to process and easier for the plant to access in its final phase. In simple terms: we are not feeding the bottle anymore. we are feeding the biology that is still feeding the plant. And because this soil will be reused afterward, keeping that microbial life active matters beyond harvest too. The run does not end at chop. The soil keeps going. What is left behind in this pot will not be waste. It will be recycled into the next life — broken down, reprocessed, and eventually returned to the garden again. That is part of the system too. ⸻ The Plant Right Now This is where the room gets beautiful. The greens are beginning to deepen. Pigments are shifting. Leaf tone is changing. The flowers are darkening. The plant is beginning to wear its finish. And with that comes the real reward of late flower: resin. Trichome production is immense now. Heads are fully formed. Coverage is heavy. Resin has moved beyond the sugar leaves and deep into the flower surface itself. The frost is no longer just visual. It has texture now. Density now. Presence now. And the flowers are following the same pattern. Dense. Compact. Heavy for their size. Not oversized plants — but plants that pack. That is one of the most satisfying expressions in the room: small frame, serious output. No wasted motion. No wasted energy. Just compact plants doing exactly what they were built to do. ⸻ Conditions Stay the Same Because the Plants Say So Room conditions remain stable and largely unchanged. Nothing dramatic. No late flower panic. No chasing numbers for the sake of numbers. The room is still run by plant response first. Leaf behavior. Water use. Transpiration. Posture. Response. That remains the real metric. The environmental numbers matter, of course — but only in context. And right now, the context is simple: the leaves are relaxed, the flowers are building, the resin is pushing, and the room is balanced. So we stay steady. No need to force a correction where the plant is already in agreement. ⸻ What to Expect Next (And What Not to Rush) Now we wait and watch. The finish line is visible, but this is still the part where patience matters most. Over the next stretch, expect: * deeper fade * continued pigment shift * slower water uptake * final calyx swell * heavier resin maturity * stronger aroma expression * less vertical movement, more flower completion What not to expect: * explosive new growth * major swelling overnight * dramatic structural change * a miracle in the final days That part is done. Now it is refinement. Maturity. Completion. Harvest may come next week. It may come the week after. The plant will decide that, not the calendar. And late flower always rewards the grower who waits one more day for the right reason. ⸻ Gratitude A run like this is never built alone. Respect to the genetics from Zamnesia. Respect to Plagron for keeping the root zone moving. Respect to the LEDs for carrying the room from start to finish. Respect to the platform for giving growers a place to document honestly. Respect to everyone following quietly, watching closely, learning, questioning, supporting. To the day ones. To the new ones. To the growers. To the lurkers. To the lovers. To the skeptics. To the curious minds. To the old heads. To the ones still learning. To the ones teaching without saying much. All of you are part of the room too.

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.

Day 2 flip: Due to the other plants in the room , I needed to flip the lights to flower. I was worried she wouldnt really be big enough to benefit from the flowering yet but ad it is a tester seed for my own cross , I wanted to see the buds it creates rather than a big yield yet. I have about 15 of these crosses that I separated as they popped out and among the many that I mixed together during the panic to remove the offending male, "Billy big bollocks", to stop him ruining anymore of my vestal virgins. The result of the Gorilla Zkittelz/Blue Gelato41 is impressing the hell out of me so far. She is a lot younger than her neighbours by 2 weeks in some cases but she is the biggest in her NFT tray now. I have been training her with bends and squashes into a quadline of sorts and I am not dissapointed either response. The below decks nodes are stacking right behind each other's heads and look like they will remain close together. This is a bonus as I have a friend growing another cross of my gelato (RQS Hulkberry/Gelato)that is 1.2M tall and colas from the base to the many tips. I dont have space for any more monsters with the fastbuds testers going wild. lol The Zkittel pheno can go two ways too as I had two different ones in a previous grow that both produced rock solid buds but were very different in growth rate and structures. The Gelato gene is also a lanky lady from her sativa background so seeing a squat ,thick plant at this stage indicates a fat colas short girl is coming. I will be popping a cross in each new run i do as I want to see what I have created here with these and also as I a have always fancied a go at breeding seeds. Have fun and stay safe. be prepared for a 10 day internet loss !!!!. world financial reset imminent!!!!

Thanks for swinging by and checking out the grow so far! So this week we are switching to flowering and taking a flood cycle out of the feeding schedule. The hydro plants are catching up to the soil plants and the tent is really starting to fill out ! Me and my partner have been keeping up on the training and were very happy with the results. I think we achieved the canopy look we were shooting for, so time to flower !! Were still following the floral series feeding scheduled within reason. The soil plants still have a little burn on the tips but we were overfeeding them, newbie mistake, but were flushing them with fresh water to give them a break. We cant wait to see the what happened in the weeks to come. Waiting to see what kind of stretch we get from them. EDIT:: mid week. The plants still have a great growth rate and are noticeably different every day. We went ahead and pulled them out of the buckets and gave them a good trimming before they get through the net. LST is paying off, we have a bunch of top growth so hopefully we get the sea of green look were going for.

Buds keep poping up every where. Plants still streaching a bit. Very healthy tangies, no over or under feeding signals. High temperatures theses days, increased ventilation and i have the closet open 24/7. Day 43: 700ml water + 2ml/l atazyme + 2ml/l top candy Day 45: 800ml water + 3ml/l biogrow + 2ml/l biobloom TM2 is in 11 liters pot, TM3 in 7 liters pot, so TM3 always get less watering than coment (600ml for day 52) Day 47: 800ml + 1 ml/l calmag Day 49: 800 ml + 2ml/l atazyme + 2ml/l topcandy Minor defoliation to open the canopy

Woch 3 ist rum und die Ladys sind alle echt extrem in die Höhe geschossen. Ich denke das der eine wenig sonnige Tag unter den sonst recht sonnigen Tagen, die Ladys etwas nach Licht gesucht haben. Alle Ladys wurden soweit erstmal gestützt, das falls der Wind etwas stärker weht, die Ladys etwas Unterstützung haben. An Tag 21 ging es für die Ladys aus dem kleinen Anzuchthäuschen in die direkte Sonne, die sie soweit alle gut vertragen. Die Pre-Flowers waren bereits an Tag 18/19 zu sehen. Tag 21 ist deutlich zu sehen das sich an der Spitze Knospen entwickeln und sie auch schon minimal einen leichten Geruch verströmen :) An Tag 21 wurde der letzte Liter Substrat aufgefüllt. Für die Blütezeit wurden 10g BioBloom von GreenHouseFeeding, 4 Teelöffel MegaWorm und 1 Teelöffel BatGuano von Plagron beigemischt. Dadurch das Automatiks etwas weniger Nährstoffe brauchen, gab es daher von allem etwas weniger. Das ganze wurde mit ca 700ml angegossen. In der Gießlösung war 1g/L BioEnhancer von GreenHouseFeeding, 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L PureZym von Plagron. Das ganze wurde mit etwas ph- auf einen ph-Wert von 6.5 gebracht. Zwischendurch habe ich immer nach Gefühl gegossen, je nach dem wie leicht oder schwer der Topf beim anheben war. Anfangs ist es schwer zu sagen wie viel man wann gießt. Wenn der Topf gut durchwurzelt ist, gehe ich gerne nach der 10% Regel. Was bei einem 8L Topf eine Gießmenge von 800ml bedeuten würde. Das ganze dann alle 2-3 Tage. Deswegen aber anfangs eher nach Gefühl und etwas weniger gießen. Wasser nachgeben wenn es zu wenig war ist einfacher als das Wasser wieder raus zu kriegen ;) Möge die Blütezeit beginnen💚🍀 Vielen Dank fürs reinschauen💚🤙🏻

Ich habe leichten schimmel am headbud entdeckt.Ich bin richtig wütend auf mich,da ich sie nicht gleich beim ersten Mal Schimmel geerntet habe.Nun ist der headbud stark geschrumpft und ich muss viele schöne Blüten in die Biotonne hauen.Die buds sind so kompakt,dass ich nichteinmal sehen kann ob in ihnen Schimmel ist. Bis auf meine Inkompetenz war der Grow sehr entspannt und ich werde diese Sorte definitiv nächsten Frühling nocheinmal anbauen.

It’s week six of flowering, and the plants are growing well. Currently, the humidity during the dark is rising as high as 60% due to the rainy, cold weather. I've had to turn the heat up again to control the humidity and raise the room temperature.
