During week 3 all plants are growing well inside the Growfor.Life-Closet and have a healthy green color. The latest addition: Double Dutch plant #3 (from Serious Seeds) is behind the rest, but also doing well. On Day 18 the biggest three plants, Double Dutch plant #1 and #2 and OG-Kush have gotten so big that a first round of defoliation was necessary. I do this in order to avoid big leaves touching each other and causing dampness to condensate between the leaves, which in turn can attract fungus and mold. Therefore i take off all the big fan leaves starting from the bottom of the plant and only leave the top two fan leaves on the plant. Now the air can flow freely through the canopy again and no leaves are touching and no dampness can condensate. The plants are still getting no extra nutrients, since the PLAGRON Grow-Mix I use should still have plenty in it. I only use RHIZOTONIC from CANNA one time in order to enhance the root-production. Now at this stage you already can clearly see differences between Double Dutch (from Serious Seeds) and OG-Kush (from Humboldt Seeds). The leaf shape is different (smaller and more pronounced fingers on the leaves of OG-Kush) and also the growth pattern (more like Indica in Double Dutch). On Day 19 I decide to do some LST (=low stress training) in order to train the 3 biggest plants into a bushier form. This is necessary, because the Growfor.Life-Closet is limited in height and I want the plants to fill out the whole area well with budding sites. I use stiff insulated copper-wire (standard electrical wire, pieces of appr. 30 cm length) and bend small arches, which I then carefully place over the top-part of a side-branch and push the open ends of the wire downwards into the soil so it holds the branch in place, while its bent outwards away from the main stem. This way I 'fan-out' the lowest 4 side-branches, so they are growing upwards at places where the light can reach them better. (see in detail in video) All plants respond well to the LST and turn their leaves and tips of the side-branches towards the light again until the next day. At day 19 the plants are now almost 20 cm tall, therefore I also decide to switch to 12/12 hours of light/darkness now in order to induce flowering. I change the program of the Growfor.Life-Closet from the standard-grow-mode (=18 hours of light per day) to the custom-flowering-program (12/12 hours of light, where I can choose the time when the lamps turn on). Now the plants will grow slower until they start to flower. I LOVE THE Growfor.Life-Closet, its sooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL and soooooooooooooooo SILENT, a landmark technical development in my opinion! This is growing made stealthy and effortless, GROWING OF THE 21st CENTURY!

Hola y gracias por pasarte a ver mi diario. Cuando compré esta semilla buscaba una variedad de rápida floración y con toques a naranja para completar mi cultivo de exterior. La planta creció sin ningún problema excepto alguna carencia que presentó antes de tiempo, especialmente de nitrógeno. Al ser un cultivo 100% orgánico y únicamente con riegos de agua del grifo sin añadir abonos líquidos era esperable, aunque el resultado final me deja muy satisfecho. Además, el hecho de añadir todos los nutrientes al sustrato me ha permitido facilitar la tarea del riego y no tener que realizar el lavado de raíces. La planta se desarrolló en una maceta de 20L y ha producido 90g de cogollos secos, bastante duros y con una relación flores/hojas bastante buena. El olor de las flores húmedas era bastante intenso y con matices dulces y cítricos. Respecto a plagas y enfermedades ha sido muy resistente, no he apreciado signos de araña roja, pulgón ni trips gracias al aporte de harina de Neem en el sustrato. Tampoco he sufrido el temido y habitual ataque de las orugas (ni la oruga de las hojas ni la del cogollo) gracias a las pulverizaciones en las fechas clave con Bacillus Thuringiensis. Tampoco se ha visto afectada por el Oídio que normalmente aparece al final de la floración en la zona donde vivo, tampoco botrytis pese a ser cogollos densos y llenos de resina, por lo que la pastilla de Micorrizas y Trichodermas ha funcionado a la perfección, no sólo reforzando el sistema radicular sino también frente a los hongos invasores. El clima también me ha acompañado este año, vivo en una zona cálida donde la temperatura suele ser óptima para el cultivo de exterior de cannabis, el mes de mayo llovió algún día de forma agradable, junio, julio y agosto fueron especialmente secos, solo llovió un par de noches a finales de agosto, y septiembre también ha sido muy respetuoso lloviendo solo 2 veces. Por todo esto, siendo la primera vez que elaboro un supersoil, estoy seguro que para la temporada 2022 repetiré el sistema, haciendo algunos ajustes a la mezcla para evitar estas carencias que he comentado. Quiero agradecer a Growdiaries.com la herramienta que nos brinda a los cultivadores (en mi caso cultivador clandestino) para poder realizar el seguimiento de nuestros cultivos y como, en mi caso particular, ha hecho que mi motivación y trabajo hayan sido una constante semana tras semana, por lo que ha influido directamente en el buen resultado final de la cosecha. También agradecer a todo el que pasó por aquí durante el seguimiento ya que me dieron el apoyo necesario para mejorar en mi cultivo. Un saludo. Ferinky

The flowering is starting to become noticeable. At first, all the pistils have developed well. It's clear that the plant is drinking a lot more, although the soil takes a bit longer to dry out, so it stays somewhat damp. I’ll do a leaf pruning, removing one leaf per node.

07/28: début de pré-flo je vais tester bactohemp avec c'est acide humique etc dans le prochaine arrodage/engraissage .... #29 07/29: 1L *avec une cuillère à thé de bactohemp. Espérons que ce première arrosage de 1L vas régler mon problème hydrique... prochaîne arrosage avec runoff. J'ai ajouté des tuteur pour que le plants donne plus d'énergie à faire grossir les buds que à porter leurs poids #30 07/30: bactohemp a eu un effet bénéfique il me semble que les sites floraux se mettent déjà a grossir :) #31 08/01: premier arrosage de 3L*engraisser avec "runoff" :), l'étape la plus stressante a mon gout quand grow des autoflo en indoor #33 08/03: grosse défoliation aujourd'hui #35

Hey Leute, heute ein kleines Update vom Blütetag 32. Ich würd mal sagen die Woche is nicht ganz so rund gelaufen, war aber auch nur ne Frage der Zeit bis die ersten Fehler passieren und sich erste Probleme zeigen. Insgesamt bin ich zufrieden, der Stretch is vorbei und die Pflanzen trinken mittlerweile deutlich weniger. Leider hatte ich Temperatur und Feuchtigkeitsprobleme und die Fußbodenheizung mögen die Mädels glaub auch nicht wirklich. Die Papaya Frosting macht sich immer noch prächtig, ist Frosty as fuck und riecht echt richtig nice. Bei den andern drei geht alles bisschen langsamer und sie sind glaub nicht ganz so happy, aber richtig übel haben sie mir auch noch nichts genommen. Die Blue Cheese hat braune spitzen die sich nach oben rollen, mein verdacht kalte Zugluft und zu warme Wurzeln von der Fussbodenheizung (steht direkt vor der zuluft). Irgendwie haben auch alle Lila spitzen und die Pink Chai bekommt grade ganz Lila Blätter, hatte mal ein gekipptes Fenster vergessen und es war während der Lichtphase nur 19 grad. Andere Idee wäre Kaliummangel durch zuviel Kalzium, aber eher unwahrscheinlich weil die eingerollten Blätter angefangen haben als ich das Fenster vergessen hatte. Die Woche werd ich bisschen Greenhouse Booster geben und mal CalMag wieder runterfahren, so ganz hab ich kein vertrauen das die Erde durchhält bis zum Schluss. Schönes Wochenende wünsch ich euch! 🖖

Die Woche war sehr ereignisreich... Von Trainingsunfällen bis hin zum ersten Schnee, war alles dabei. Der CalMg Zuschuss sah auf den ersten Metern vielleicht gut aus, aber da die LCC sich im Eskalationsmodus befindet, konnte ich nicht so schnell gegensteuern wie erhofft. Von letzter Woche bis heute, haben sich noch mehr Stellen mit CalMg Mangelerscheinungen gezeigt, über die gesamte Pflanze. Da läuft es bei den anderen beiden viel, viel besser. Ansonsten ist die gute Dame 105cm groß. Ich hoffe das der größte Stretch bei ihr durch ist. Nach oben ist nicht mehr viel Platz. Mittlerweile ist am Top der erste Schnee wahrzunehmen, hauch fein. Ein leicht matter Duft geht von ihr aus. Erinnert mich an die Keks-Noten... Die PH hängt gefühlt den anderen beiden eine Woche hinterher. Sie ist mit ca. 25cm gerade am Stretchen. Ich hoffe das sie sich noch kräftiger streckt. Dafür das sie so klein ist, hat sie ein sehr breiten, relativ ebenen (bis auf wenige Triebe) Wuchs. Steht saftig im Grün und wird sicher eine Schönheit. Das sie eine Woche hinter den anderen liegt, kommt mir zu Gute. Wenn die anderen beiden "fertig" sind, wird die PH sich auf der höhe der Milchstraße befinden und ganz wenig Bernstein haben. Wird sie der Daytime liebling? Die BPP... Es tut mir so unendlich Leid, dir 2 Trainingsverletzungen, 2 mal abknicken des Triebs, zugefügt zu haben! Mit nem Pflaster um die 2 Triebe, hat sie trotzdem tapfer weiter gemacht. Sie steht auch kräftig im Grün und ist fleißig am Stretchen. Wie gesagt auch die abgeknickten Triebe Stretchen mit und bilden Blüten. Weiter hat die BPP deutliche lila Färbungen der Calyxen, ebenso des Top. Ich bin gespannt. Sie hebt sich von den 2 BPP die ich letztes Jahr hatte, deutlich ab. Auch von der Höhe , mit aktuell 55cm. Was aber geblieben ist, dieser süße, keksartige Duft. Du geile Sau! Riechst jetzt schon wie eine der 2 Ladys von letztem Jahr. Mir läuft schon das Wasser im Mund zusammen und weiß jetzt schon, ich brauche BPP RF3 😍 Von der Luftfeuchtigkeit her, trotz Zuluft, musste ich die FlexFeed entfernen. Die Wurzeln der LCC und BPP waren so oder so schon unten am einwachsen. Zack habe ich nur noch 55-60% Luftfeuchtigkeit, von ehemals 70-80%. Dafür gieße ich jetzt wieder von Hand, alle 2 Tage je nach Gefühl und Gewicht. Da ich weiß wie sich volle Töpfe anfühlen, kann ich die Gießmengen gut einschätzen. Lichtleistung ist bei 90% - Düngemengen nicht wirklich gesteigert. Die LCC hat 3L Zuschuss bekommen. Die anderen beiden bekommen nur etwas PK13/14 mehr. So wie etwas erhöhte CalMg Mengen. Ich freue mich auf das Schneegestöber die kommende Woche und wie sich die PH entwickelt. Bis dahin...😘

🌸 White Widow — Week 7 Flower (Week 11 from seed) Status: Full flower, bulking rapidly. Vibe: Dark foliage, compact form, heavy frost, 90s aroma profile. Feeding: Aptus + Plagron lineup (Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation, Regulator, CalMag, All-in-One) Photos: Sony a6000 — loyal workhorse for studio shots. 📷 ⸻ 🧠 Deep dive — Why 12/12-from-seed makes a plant “go hard” Plants evolved to reproduce. Their primary biological drive is to make seeds. Photoperiod (day length) is one of the most reliable seasonal cues plants use to decide: is it time to flower? Mechanisms at play (simple → nerdy): • Photoperiod sensing: Leaves detect day length via phytochrome systems (Pr Pfr). Short days (or the 11/13 rhythm) flip the hormonal cascade toward flowering. • Florigen & flowering hormones: When the plant senses “short days,” it produces mobile signals (florigen) that travel to the shoot apex and shift gene expression from vegetative growth to reproductive development. • Carbohydrate reallocation: Energy stops making more leaves/branches and is directed into calyxes, resin synthesis, terpene pathways, and seed/flower tissues. • Result: A plant that thinks “the season’s ending — reproduce now!” goes all-in: denser flowers, rapid calyx swelling, intense trichome production. Important point: they don’t know about pollination. The plant can’t tell you whether pollinators exist or whether pollen will land — it simply invests in attractive, resinous flowers to maximize reproductive success. As growers, we exploit that drive to produce potent sensimilla (unpollinated) flowers. ⸻ 🔬 Why your White Widow is exploding in quality right now • Immediate reproductive programming: Starting floral signals early (12/12 from seed) forces the plant to prioritize flower formation rather than vegetative mass. That yields compact, dense colas. • High PPFD + short day = strong DLI in less time: With fewer hours of light, your lamp intensity is higher in those hours → powerful photosynthesis during the window the plant has chosen. • Nutrition tuned to flower: the Aptus + Plagron stack feeds the metabolic surge — PK + biostimulators for bulking, sugar stimulators for terpene pathways, Ca/Mg for structural health. • Genetics: White Widow is resin-happy; give it the right cues and it will frost up like a sugar cookie. ⸻ 🌈 Why her colors are going dark (and why that’s beautiful) Leaf & bud color comes from a balance of chlorophyll + accessory pigments (anthocyanins, carotenoids) and is influenced by: • Genetic propensity (some phenos are naturally darker) • Temperature swings (cooler nights often increase anthocyanin expression) • pH / nutrient balance (some deficits/ratios nudge color pathways) • Light spectrum intensity (strong red/far-red influence can shift pigment expression) Dark phenos often correlate with high terpene and anthocyanin expression — visually stunning and often highly aromatic. ⸻ 🔁 Quick timeline recap (for newcomers) • Germination & early mistakes: initial heat-mat loss → restarted, one strong survivor. • Veg: compact, short internodes under the 11/13/12-12 shuttle → stacked nodes. • Early flower: slow to show, but once she flipped she committed. • Now – Week 7 flower (Week 11 from seed): heavy bulking, thick trichomes, deepening color, classic White Widow aroma emerging. ⸻ 🔭 What to expect next (this week → next week) Expect: • Continued bulking of calyxes and cola weight. • Explosion of trichome coverage — white, cloudy glands multiply. • Stronger terpene smell (earthy, spicy, resinous 90s profile). • Possible color intensification — deeper greens, potential purples depending on phenotype & nights. Do not expect: • Major new stretch — she’s committed to flower and will remain compact. • Immediate harvest — typical White Widow still wants its weeks; plan for patience (mid-late flower bulking happens over several more weeks). ⸻ ⚖️ Should you run all seeds 12/12 next cycle? (pros & cons) You asked if you might run every seed 12/12 — here’s the honest rabbit-hole: Pros • Much faster cycle → less time to harvest. • Compact plants → ideal for small spaces or stealth grows. • Often denser single-plant yields; less training needed. • Great for experimentation, multi-strain rapid rotation. Cons • Generally lower total biomass per plant vs. long veg runs. • Some genetics need veg time to express full canopy & branching; yields may be lower for those strains. • Root systems can remain smaller → may stress under high PPFD if not supported. • Less flexible for heavy-topping/lst/manipulation strategies. Bottom line: for strains with good genetics for flowers (like White Widow), 12/12-from-seed can be very rewarding. For sativa-dominant, tall strains you might lose yield without long veg. ⸻ 📷 Gear love — Sony a6000 shoutout I’ve got to echo it: that camera is a workhorse for growers. Compact, responsive, great color fidelity, and perfect for low-light studio shots when paired with proper exposure. The a6000 captures the leaf texture, color depth, and bud gloss in a way phones struggle to match. Long live the loyal shooter. 📸✨ ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude — the usual and the real Thank you to: • Zamnesia — for the genetics & the nostalgia. • Aptus & Plagron — the chemical & biological push that lets the plant sing. • ThinkGrow / Future of Grow / TrolMaster — lighting, control, and environment orchestration. • You — the makers, lovers, critics, curious readers — your energy fuels this diary. And to our White Widow — for showing up, forgiving mistakes, and giving back in beauty. 💚 ⸻ Week 7 flower — Week 11 from seed. Darker colors, heavy frost, the classic 90s scent, and a compact structure that proves 12/12-from-seed can produce absolute fire. We went full-in on Aptus + Plagron, kept the Emerson red-lead sunrise/sunset, and trusted the genetics. Watching her build is pure joy.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all P.S. — Deep dive on DLI (Daily Light Integral) — short, clear, and a little nerdy (in the best way). 🌞🌿 1) What is DLI, simply? DLI = the total amount of photosynthetic light (photons) a plant receives over one day. It’s expressed in moles of photons per square metre per day (mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹). While PPFD (μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹) tells you instantaneous light intensity, DLI tells you how much light the plant actually used that day. ⸻ 2) The formula (how to calculate it) Use this exact formula: text{DLI (mol·m}^{-2}text{·day}^{-1}) = frac{text{PPFD (μmol·m}^{-2}text{·s}^{-1}) times text{seconds of light per day}}{1{,}000{,}000} Where seconds of light per day = hours of light × 3600. I’ll show worked examples so it’s easy to follow. ⸻ 3) Worked examples (digit-by-digit so it’s crystal clear) Example A — your reported PPFD ≈ 766 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ and 11 hours light • seconds of light = 11 × 3600 = 39,600 s • photons per day = 766 × 39,600 = 30,333,600 μmol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ • convert to moles: 30,333,600 ÷ 1,000,000 = 30.3336 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ So: 766 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ × 11 h → DLI ≈ 30.3 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ Example B — same PPFD but 12 hours • seconds = 12 × 3600 = 43,200 • photons = 766 × 43,200 = 33,091,200 • DLI = 33,091,200 ÷ 1,000,000 = 33.0912 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ Example C — other quick refs • 700 μmol × 11 h → DLI ≈ 27.72 • 800 μmol × 11 h → DLI ≈ 31.68 • 400 μmol × 11 h → DLI ≈ 15.84 • 1000 μmol × 12 h → DLI ≈ 43.2 (You can plug any PPFD and hours into the formula — those are ready-made reference points.) ⸻ 4) What DLI targets are useful for cannabis? • Vegetative (gentle): ~12–25 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ • Flower (typical good range): ~25–40 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ — most home/pro growers aim here • High-intensity/CO₂-enriched commercial: 40–60+ mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ (needs CO₂, stronger conditioning) So your example (≈30 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ at ~766 PPFD × 11h) sits very nicely in the flower range. That explains the dense bulking + heavy resin you’re seeing — our DLI is right where White Widow loves to convert energy into flowers. ⸻ 5) Practical implications — what DLI affects and what to watch • Higher DLI → higher photosynthesis → more carbohydrate to drive bud bulking and terpene/trichome production. • Higher DLI requires more water and nutrients. Plants transpire more and pull more minerals; be ready to feed and irrigate appropriately. • Leaf temperature / heat stress: pushing PPFD up increases canopy energy/heat — keep airflow, VPD, and room temps under control. • CO₂ matters: if aiming beyond ~40 mol/day, elevated CO₂ (e.g., 800–1200 ppm) becomes productive; otherwise additional light won’t be used efficiently. • Distribution matters: DLI is an average over the canopy. Hotspots or shaded pockets mean some flowers get too much or too little — even light spread (and PAR mapping) matters. ⸻ 6) Actionable tips for your run (based on your 11/13 / 12/12 experiment) • We’re hitting excellent flower DLI (≈30 mol/day at 766 μmol × 11 h). That’s why buds are dense/frosty — keep the rhythm. • If you shorten hours (e.g., 11 h) keep PPFD high to maintain target DLI. If you lengthen hours (12 h) you can reduce peak PPFD slightly and still hit the same DLI. • If you raise PPFD to chase more DLI, ramp slowly (a few μmol/sec per day) to let stomata and roots acclimate — avoid sudden bleaching. • Watch watering & EC — higher DLI → faster uptake → more frequent but measured feeding. • If you ever push DLI 40 mol/day consider CO₂ enrichment and perfect VPD control to have that extra light used efficiently. ⸻ 7) Quick rules of thumb • Want to hit ~30 mol/day with 11 hours on the clock → aim for roughly 700–800 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹. • Want ~33 mol/day at 12 hours → ~766 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ matches that nicely. • If you see leaf cupping/bleaching, you’ve likely exceeded safe PPFD for that canopy or temps are too high — back off, check VPD.

Not giving them Any nutrients now until chop which should be in a few days. Seeing lots of amber on the Royal Gorilla, not so much on the Green Gelato, but still present in small amounts. 2 days until 10 weeks total flowering. Letting the plants fall and rest on the side of the tent isnt ideal, but its the only way i could have saved them from the heat. Check out my stardawg diary for what heat can really do to a plant....gonna upload another week soon and there is HUGE damage to the plant that didnt auto. These smell lovely anyway, cant wait to try them!

Terps are definitely starting to come through, gassy and fruity. Buds directly under the light are hard as rocks. Pistils are starting to show what kind of colas I can expect. The back 2 plants are receiving an extra qt of hand-fertigation per day, as they dry out quicker than the front 2. Happy growing!

Not much to report this week, the trichomes are still milky. My feeling is that it will take another 2-3 weeks until they are ready to harvest. Until then, I will continue with the fertilizer scheme. The smell of both strains is very pleasantly fruity (citrus) and I continue to monitor the VPD value and temperatures. This time there are no pictures and only videos they show better the development, in the time lapse you can still see a growth in the flowers, slow but there is still growth.
