Week 11 July 19. As mentioned in the week before if plants recover from topping will perform LST by bending main stem and they did. So i spread the ladies legs today for a better canopy and light penetration fed 30L each with 10gr/30L all purpose 17-17-17 granular fertlizer. Today first white pistils started to show so guessing plant will recover before flowering begins. Stay tuned

Holas familias de nuevo.esta tercera semanaNo hay ningĂşn cambio en cuanto a lo climĂĄtico, temperaturas de 26 maximas y 20 de mĂ­nimas y humedad 40% mĂ­nimas y maximas de 70%.( el problema vendrĂĄ cuando cambiemos a sodio). Eso si crecer van creciendo a buen ritmo , las mĂĄs lentas son las power plant xl. Esta semana las aguante en tiestos pequeĂąos, pero en nada trasplantĂł a los 7 L y las pasamos a floraciĂłn conforme cambiemos Al Sodio

🌱 Sour Diesel — Week 8 (Flower Week 3) — Strategic Reset Week ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — Where We Are • Genetics: Sour Diesel • Timeline: Week 8 from seed • Flowering: Week 3 • Height: ~60–70 cm (compact structure) • Room Temp: 28°C • RH: 65% • Feed EC: 2.9 • pH: 6.5 (kept above 6.0 intentionally) • Lighting: LED • Action this week: Strategic defoliation This plant is not tall — she’s compact, dense, and structurally tight. Which means airflow and internal light penetration become critical early. And that’s exactly why this week mattered. ⸻ 🍃 The Defoliation — Not Aesthetic. Architectural. This was not cosmetic trimming. It was: • Removing large fan leaves blocking interior bud sites • Cleaning inner congestion • Opening airflow channels • Resetting light distribution across the canopy • Helping the entire room environment (not just this plant) The room needed air — this plant was advanced enough to handle stress. That’s key. Week 3 of flower is the transition window: • Stretch is slowing • Bud sites are set • Energy shifts toward stacking At this stage, a strategic defoliation: • Improves transpiration efficiency • Reduces microclimate humidity pockets • Prevents internal leaf-to-leaf condensation • Encourages bud site activation below the top canopy This was structural architecture. Not haircut vanity. ⸻ 🌡️ 28°C in Flower — “Too Hot?” Let’s Go Deep. People panic when they hear 28°C in flower. But here’s where most growers confuse: 🔥 HPS vs LED Heat Behavior Under HPS: • Radiant heat warms leaf surfaces directly • Leaf temperature often equals or exceeds room temp • 28°C air under HPS can mean 30–32°C leaf temp • That pushes VPD dangerously high Under LED: • Less infrared radiation • Leaf surface temp is typically 1–3°C LOWER than room temp • So at 28°C room temp, leaf temp might be 25–26°C And VPD calculations depend on leaf temperature, not air temperature. ⸻ 🌿 What Is Leaf VPD? VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) measures the difference between: • Moisture inside the leaf • Moisture in the surrounding air But if you calculate VPD using only room temp, you’re missing the real transpiration dynamics. With: • 28°C air • ~25–26°C leaf surface (LED) • 65% RH Leaf VPD sits in a very workable mid-flower zone. Not extreme. Not stress-inducing. Not shutdown territory. We’re driving metabolism, not cooking terpenes. ⸻ 💧 Why 65% RH Isn’t Dangerous Here Context matters: • Good airflow • Opened canopy • Compact but cleaned structure • Early-mid flower (Week 3, not Week 7) At this stage: • Pistils are forming • Bud density is still moderate • Transpiration is active High humidity becomes dangerous when: • Bud mass is dense • Internal airflow is poor • Late flower resin traps moisture We’re not there yet. And we just improved airflow with defoliation. ⸻ ⚡ EC 2.9 — Aggressive but Intentional That EC is strong. But: • Plant is compact, not oversized • Sour Diesel can eat • pH 6.5 keeps availability wide (Ca, Mg, P balance) The key will be: • Watching leaf tips • Monitoring runoff behavior • Watching for clawing or salt stress Right now, if she’s praying and stacking, she’s handling it. ⸻ 🔍 What To Expect Next Week (Flower Week 4) After defoliation: You may see: • Slight pause (24–72 hours) • Increased vertical bud push • Better lower-site activation • More defined pistil clustering • Stronger apical dominance response If recovery is clean: • Buds begin early stacking phase • Internodes tighten • Resin production initiates at bract level If stress appears: • Slight leaf droop • Tip burn acceleration • Reduced upward leaf angle But based on structure and timing — this looks calculated, not reactive. ⸻ 🧠 Why This Week Matters Long-Term This week determines: • Airflow pattern for late flower • Mold resistance later • Bud density uniformity • Final trim efficiency • Light-to-bud conversion efficiency This wasn’t about now. This was about Week 7 and 8 survival. ⸻ 🙏 Appreciation Section To: • The OGs here since seed • The new followers discovering the journey • The silent readers • The critics • The skeptics • The lovers • The haters • The platform • The sponsors • The community • Grow Diaries itself Everyone has a place here.

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.

In the end I was pretty happy and surprised about the dense and hard buds! Especially when I think about the way we had to move this plant in a setup that was completely crap except the LEDs.

I took the tiny plant out of the tent due to state laws. She is happily sitting in a window... we'll see what happens with her! Massive growth for both plants this week! They both doubled in size! I don't know whether to call my plants vegging, pre-flowering or flowering. I figured this was the last week of veg and next week is full on flowering!! They both stink! Gassy for sure! I'll need to turn start using my carbon filter soon... I caught a few cool time lapse videos this week. Especially after feeding them last night!! I fed them twice this week. The first time was at a third recommended dose and I jumped it to half yesterday. The leaves are clawing at the top of the plants... I think it is a lack of phosphorus due to me only watering them the last 2 weeks. Any thoughts out there? I'd love advice about defoliating... I have a couple massive fan leaves I could remove to open the canopy for flowers... I just don't want to stunt the plant or rob the main cola of a major energy source... Thoughts are definitely welcome! I tried my hand at LST... I think a few are working and a few aren't doing the job... Definitely need to figure this out! Again advice is welcome! If you've made it this far... thanks!! Cheers!

Hallo liebe Grower, leider habe ich die Anbaustrecke der Automatics nicht dokumentiert, da es mein erstes Mal war und einiges schief lief. 🤔🤫 Kurz gesagt: 1 Pflanze wurde fertig, reif und erntbar!🌿💚 Daher möchte ich nun zumindest von dieser berichten. - Genetic: Zamnesia God Feather F1 🌿 - Lucilu Shuttle 6 240W LED 💡 - 7 Liter Kunststoff Topf ? - Plagron Royalmix (Hauptsubstrat) - BioBizz Allmix (Keimerde) - Plagron Alga Bloom - Plagron Sugar Royal - Plagron Green Sensation - Plagron Power Buds Gekeimt wurde im Biobizz Allmix, und nach 3 Tagen erblickte Sie das Licht der Welt. 🌱 2 Wochen später, wurde Sie in Plagron Royalmix umgetopft. 2 Wochen später ging man in die Vorblüte und den Stretch. Der Stretch war enorm... Sie streckte sich von 25cm auf fast 80cm nach oben. 3 x mal Lampe justieren war angesagt! Danach gab's Plagron Organic Linie nach Düngeschem + Power Buds zusätzlich. Sie hat so extrem geblüht .. teilweise über Nacht sichtbare Veränderung in Größe und Menge!💚 Top Pflanze .. hat sehr viele Fehler verziehen ..💚 Am Ende geerntet und direkt nass gestimmt. - 284 gr Nass auf der Waage 😳 - ... gr trocken auf der Waage (sobald trocken) Riecht herrlich zitronig frisch bis jetzt Ernte: 4 h lang geschnitten und dann alles gewogen und in den Trockenschrank gebracht. Es war sehr harzig .. aber eher trocken und nicht wirklich für Fingerhasch geeignet. Alles in allem eine sehr spannende Erfahrung mit dieser Sorte. Let IT grow 🌱 🌿 💚

La Spider Farmer SF2000 continua a tenere a far crescere le ragazze con un ottima luce e spero di riuscire a vedere qualche colorazione tra non molto…la maggior parte dei problemi nella coltivazione della Cannabis deriva da un terreno poco drenante e da troppa 🚿 acqua quando le diamo da bere…bisogna sempre ricordarsi di alzare i vasi e vedere quanto pesano e se c’è bisogno, smuovere la terra un po’ con le mani attorno alla pianta

72 grams of dried and semi-cured creamy buds. smooth smoke already despite the need to drop humidity below 59% fully. not much larf surprisingly but will be fun to see how much hash each strain gets considering others in the tent had way more. Harvest: somewhat early, but solid nugs and yield - easy trimming and quick to dry compared to other leafy varieties terps: creamy dough mostly with hint of sweet cinnamon sugar vanilla - just like the pack says, but still not impressed really Drama about these seeds: got store credit on the pack of 3 seeds just because of website change to outdoor only after purchase date. excited to grow other HSC strains next year.

Welcome Back!💚 Nach der siebten Blütewoche kommt der Kampfzwerg an die Ausreifung der Blüten. Sie zeigt ein schönes Blütenbild für ihr Größe. Die Buds werden doch nochmal dicker und sind richtig fest und Kompakt. Es entwickelt sich ein frisches, säuerliches Aroma. Es ist noch etwas Süße hinzugekommen. Wenn es ein Apfel sein soll dann geht es in die Richtung Granny Smith. Für die Wachstumsdauert und das bisherige Resultat allerdings muss ich mich schon fragen, ob dass die Mühe Wert ist. Schauen wir Mal wie das Geschmacksprofil sich nachher Kennzeichnet. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind richtig Hot und gerade top für die Endblüte. ————— 🌞 Temp: 27°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 49% VPD: 1,42 kPa 😎 PPfD: 830 mqm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

Week 3: Mars Hydro TS3000 light came in and installed at 12 inches from tops. Ran at 100% light for a few hours, however, temp was an issue. Temp was at 83. Posted in FB group, suggestions were to turn lights down and raise it up. Raised lights to 24 inches from top and built vent box to use AC for cooling. Filled a pot with FFO to test our water. Watered with 1 gallon of water. Test the runoff and it had a PH of 5.9. Seeing how long it takes to dry out in tent. Fox Farm Nutes arrived Soil Test - check moisture level at 1 inch from bottom registered at a 4. Watered plants with Fox Farm Nutes, Week 1. Gave all GSC's 3/4 Gallon and the Delite got 1/2 Gallon. Lots of runoff, removed from reservoir after 30 minutes. Forgot to add the PH Up and Cal-Mag. Runoff PH tested at 5.5.

Hello world, 🇬🇷 The previous week had a lot of growth and stretching...Angie is almost 50 cm while the other two girls have stretched their side shoots...Two days ago Lucy and Michelle started to stay in the dark for 13 hours...I put them inside a closet during the night...Angie is too tall for the closet so she will just stay outside and follow nature's schedule... ===================================== WEEK 7:"BIPOLAR DISORDER" ☠️Day 43...when I took them out of the closet their leaves were a bit clawing...I think because of temperature and humidity...anyway after a few hours in the sun they came back to normal..I have to LST Lucy more as her shoots are getting taller every day... The new growth in all girls is a bit yellowish, so I am thinking of top dressing them with some Bio Grow from GHF... ☠️Day 44...Lucy is too tall for the closet...I will just have Michelle to flower in there...her LST is keeping her short enough to stretch and flower in the small kitchen closet..finally the weather is sunny and warm here,summer has come...I top dressed them with Bio Grow,as from the colour of the new growth I can tell they need Nitrogen...From tonight on Angie and Lucy will be sleeping outdoors,no more Leds during the night...they will be there until their end... ☠️Day 45...💧first night on the balcony...everything is OK...Michelle is under 12/12 and waiting for those first pistils to show up...I watered today...they seem to be thirsty more often as the temps outside rise...I give them 2 L instead of 1,5 L... ☠️Day 46...Angie has reached 55 cm...Michelle has started showing sex and Lucy is just growing... ☠️Day 47...Angie is becoming a beast...I love her natural shape...Michelle on the other hand has not shown any flowers yet...I hope there is no light leak in the closet she is spending 12 hours...probably needs her time... ☠️Day 48...Michelle shows tiny pistils...I am not sure yet though if they are flower pistils or sex ones...Angie has reached 65 cm...their soil gets dry fast due to the otdoor temps which are at 32°-34° C... ☠️Day 49..💧had to water again...this time I gave them 3 L each...with less than that there is no runoff... I think I see pistils on Michelle,real ones...it's kind of windy and I have to be careful with them...I have a safe spot but its not sunny throughout the day,so I am moving them around... Another week is over,we head on to the 8th...thank you all for watching,stay safe and happy growing☠️
