I started germination of 5 Royal thai regular beans on 01/01/2021. HAPPY NEWYEAR! I am germinating them using rockwool cubes and a humidity dome. I pre moistened my plugs with ph balanced water to 6.4 . Than enlarged the pre made holes using a wooden dowel. Than sowed my 5 beans into the holes. I then ripped a small piece of rockwool off each plug and mulched it up. Than lightly filled in the holes using the mulched rockwool. Than it was into the humidity dome to marinate, and complete the germination process. Will likely take roughly 4 days to get some sprouts. Starting my adventure with Spliff Seeds Royal Thai. After they emerge I will get the plugs planted into 3 gallon pots to rock and roll. Cant fucking wait! Spliff Seeds Royal Thai is a cross of a Early Thai mother and a Skunk #1 father. This mashup produces a lanky, stretcher variety signature of classic sativa strains. The strain gas a roughly 12 week flowering time. There is 3 distinct phenotypes from these genetics. One with fluffier sativa signature bud structre. One with chunkier, bulky bud structre coming from the skunk #1 father. Lastly but definitely hope to get me one of these!!! Is the phenotype that Carrys over that signature thai chocolate terpene pallet. Though it takes the longest to mature... Best believe it's well worth the wait. Considering the natural plant stature and stretch. This will be a short veg, faster flip run. To keep these ladies tailored and suited for a indoor grow. All things considered... I'd probably get best results throwing these beans out during outdoor grow season. Letting them beast out and become trees. Mabey we just might try that with another batch. But with the research into the variety I've done I'm sure I can make em work some magic indoors. I'm amped for this.

🌱 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.

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.

Retiro las primeras hojas que salieron que se quedaban sin fuerza/luz abajo y se estaban pochando. Avanza lo que parecía sequedad, ahora tiene mas pinta de hongo (mildiu). Corto las 4 hojas afectadas. Amanece reforzada y sin rastro del hongo. Apliqué la solución para curarla a pesar de ver mejoría. Parece que crece bien pero sigue desarrollando una especie de manchas al final de las hojas grandes

THIS IS DAY 42 VEG

One more week and they look really nice , very healthy.very happy with this grow..

After 14 days of germination and seedling phase I finally put 3 of the plants in my Homebox with the SANLight Evo 4-80. DLI 16 - measured with Photone iOS App.

Got a QB this week and oh my word the temp drop is lovely. In time might grab a couple of strips to compliment as the new LM301H diode is out. Seeing loads of amber in places, im going to chop during the week. I have 2 more 2 week old seedlings ready for the tent that I germed outside, but this is England and they haven't grown all that much yet. Smell from these two is fantastic anyway, I will update soon

They seem to have packed on some decent size this week which I’m glad to see but the trichome production leaves a little to be desired. Some of the lower buds look more frosty than the top buds which seems weird to me but I don’t really know that much lol. My ph runoff has been a little low which I think has to do with the molasses I gave them which wasn’t blackstrap which I think raises ph. Anyways, next watering will be with about 7.0 until my runoff corrects, it could explain the yellowing leaves as well. But the runoff is 6.1-6.3 which shouldn’t be that big an issue so it could be something else but I’m so close to the end messing around too much is probably not the best thing to do. Hopefully my pictures and videos are a little better this week at least! Enjoy and hit me up in the comments if you have any tips!

11/20 Monday she’s doing really good she won’t need water today I moved the light pretty far away I may even turn the temperature down even more I am flowering three blackjacks in the other tent of the same size at 90 W with the Mars Hydro light so for the last week I may just take it down even more two weeks I smoked some after just drying it for two or three days and it is completely different from smoking blackjack. It is a very intense sedative smell. Smells like gum smells great, but I’m kind of astounded at how strong it is. After smoking just a little bit I was moving super slow motion. . . Took me over two hours to pour one cup of coffee. That’s how slow time became. It was greatest day of my life. 11/21 Tuesday. I just squeezed the buds a little bit and these are the most dense buds that I have grown in the three years that I’ve been learning to do this. The only difference is I used the Boombastic and I used fruit infusion by General hydroponics yesterday, so I really think that one nutrient supplement the Boombastic has made all the difference. I’ve never had that before. It’s so great greatest day of my life. 11/22 gave half gallon of water with nutrients and supplements 11/24 I gave her just plain water today. I think I’m just gonna do water for the last couple of weeks. She is looking spectacular really starting to take off now. I think she has enough nutrients in the soil so I shouldn’t eat any for the last couple of weeks I always put too much. 11/25 Saturday morning. I gave her a little bit more water this morning i’m going to keep her nutrient free I think for the rest of the grouch she only has maybe two more weeks and I don’t wanna make the mistake of doing this too long on critical. She’s doing really good. This is one of my best ones I think maybe two weeks more.

Limpieza de bajos

The mimosa cake is the queen of the tent , she’s near a meter tall and smells fantastic. Keeping up the defol is a mission as is the feed , she’s a thirsty gurl getting thru 5L a day soon I’ll have to feed her daily to keep up with her . Thankfully the green crack stayed pretty small or I’d be struggling to fit her in the tent . Next week the same as this week keeping up the defol and hopefully keeping her happy

Last few days of feeding for strawnana Second week of flush for gelato

Day16: nutrients like plan Day 18: i added 2 secret jardin tled 42w bloom --------------------------------------------- She seems to stuck because of the heavy deflotation last week, but ok lesson learned 🤷‍♂️ Maybe someone have some experience with secret jardin tled can can tell me how far i should place them? 😅 Merry Xmas everyone 🎄🦍

It has been primarily smooth sailing minus accounting for low humidity, but that doesnt appear to have bothered the plants. Finally taking some up close bud shots. I have never been much of a picture taking person (a bit of a shaky hand lol), so bare with me in future weeks.

Final day of veg flipping the flower today I’m excited to see how these tests go I have lots of hope for the ones and I may only create s1’s

Well week 6 has started and 12-12 has 1 official day in the books! Short run with a couple of experiments, lol. We got some new seeds, autos. We got early miss and fucking incredible from crop kings and Zkittles, gelato, and wedding cake from ILGM plus a couple of Herer seeds from a friend. The wife is going to do the next run and I'm really excited about that...also nervous, lol. Well that's about it for now. Happy Growing Everyone ✌️❤️😁🍀🎶👽 EB

🌿 Woche 5 🌱 Wachstum & Training 🌱 Das Training läuft fantastisch – ein täglicher, stetiger Prozess. 😬✂️ Beide Damen sehen rundum gesund aus, mit kräftig grünen Blättern. 💪🍀 Sogar ein halb abgebrochener Trieb hat sich richtig gut erholt. 👌🌱 Man merkt inzwischen, dass eine der Damen dominanter ist. 👑🔥 Der mittlere Bereich ist hart umkämpft – vielleicht doch ein Ticken zu eng für zwei Pflanzen. 🤼‍♀️😨🌱 Ich habe daher ordentlich entlaubt und ein paar kleinere Triebe entfernt. ✂️🍃🗑️ Langsam füllt sich der gesamte Raum mit einem gleichmäßigen Blätterdach. 🌳💚 Der Stretch hat begonnen – und alle Triebe haben richtig Bock, steil zu gehen! 🚀🌿🎯 💧 Living Soil – Only Water 💧🌍 Wie man sieht: Kein einziger Trieb oder ein Blatt mit Mängeln. ✅🌱👌 Die Vegetationsphase lief absolut problemlos – ganz ohne Temperatur- oder Luftfeuchtigkeitsunterstützung. 🌡️💨❌ Nur mit einer Mischung aus destilliertem Wasser und Leitungswasser. 💧🚰 🔄 Drehbarer Topf 🎥 Ich bin nach wie vor ein großer Fan dieser Lösung! 😄👍 Nicht nur entstehen witzige kleine Videos, sondern es hilft enorm beim Training. 📸✂️ Ich achte beim Formen stets darauf, die Drehfunktion nicht einzuschränken – klappt bisher richtig gut. 🔄✔️ 💡 Licht & Schatten 🔆🌘 Im Laufe der Woche habe ich das Licht auf bis zu 400 PPF hochgedreht. 💡📈 So streben die Triebe weiter aktiv nach Licht – bekommen aber auch nicht zu wenig. 🌞🌱➡️💥 💧 Blumat & Gießen 💧🚿 🕒 Alle paar Tage bei 110 mbar 🚿 Jeweils 2 l Wasser 💦 ☀️ Wetter 🌡️🔥 Die Temperaturen waren (und sind) brutal: 26°–33 °C. ☀️ Scheint aber bisher alles gut zu verkraften. 😌🌿💪 🎶 The Grow must go on! 🌱🎵💚✨
