Permanent Marker Auto
Another week of flowering is complete for both Permanent Marker plants. Both are looking really frosty now, and the flowers are developing beautifully. I'm especially happy with how well the LST worked out. The structure turned out just as I had hoped, and it's great to see how the plants have developed. The layer of trichomes is becoming more impressive every week, and I'm getting more excited about the final result.

Intermediate Results Overview This grow was intense! Setting up the grow consumed so much of my time and focus that I started slacking at work, and it took me a month to get back on track. But hey, what’s the point of a job if it gets in the way of growing? 😉 In the end, everything worked out, and I gained invaluable experience. This was my first grow using coco coir. At first, I didn’t get it, but then it just clicked! Now I’m hooked: "I’m here to stay." Coco is more controlled than soil, flushes easily, and you can introduce beneficial microbes, which thrive in it. My main takeaway from this grow? If you buy coco, don’t forget CalMag! Next time, I’ll definitely install HEPA filters at the intake. The amount of dust was insane, and the grow box pulls air like a vacuum cleaner. Watching the timelapse, you can see the box sucking in every bit of dust. I vacuumed the intake filters weekly. The plant was incredibly sticky, but that also meant it caught a lot of lint and fibers between trichomes, especially visible under a microscope. Smoking microplastics? No, thank you! --- On CO2 CO2 only works if everything else is dialed in. If the plant experiences stress from deficiencies or overfeeding, you can forget about it. Since CO2 supplementation requires turning off the exhaust fan, it’s hard to manage temperature and humidity. The plant releases so much moisture that RH jumps to 80% within minutes. It’s doable, but definitely a challenge. --- On Magnetic Fields No clue what’s happening here yet, but it’s fascinating! I’ll test again with a control sample. --- Nutrients Dreams do come true—I’ve tested almost everything Advanced Nutrients offers. It wasn’t all smooth sailing; their feeding charts need adjustments for your conditions, and you usually need to feed less than recommended. Overall, I’d say the nutrients performed 100%, and I see no reason to switch. I’ll stick with them for future grows. --- Strain This strain is reliable, though not the most productive. It flowered exactly as advertised and delivered a frosty finish. It tolerated all my mistakes like a champ—especially mold. Despite an abandoned SCROG plan turning the plant into a bouquet, there wasn’t a single mold spot, even in the densely packed lower buds that got almost no light. Zero mold issues! --- Aroma As advertised: pine, wood, and citrus. At first, I thought it smelled like grapefruit, but now I’m leaning toward bergamot. Bergamot with a classic weed aroma—a recognizable twist on the usual scent. During the grow, the smell was strong, but the carbon filter handled it perfectly. --- Flavor It’s too early to say, but the flavor is definitely there! Embarrassingly, all my past harvests tasted the same—like nothing. Just smoke. This one has a distinct sour taste. I’m excited to see how it develops after curing. --- Effect Too early for a full review, but I love what I’ve tried so far. The high lasts about three hours, with euphoria and relaxation. It’s the perfect evening strain. I’ve smoked a lot over the years, but I’ve never experienced true euphoria—until now. Guess I’ve been stuck with garbage and ditch weed before. 😅 It’s not a strain for productivity or chores, but it’s perfect for chilling, watching something, or chatting. No anxiety, just great vibes. It feels like having a beer after a long day: you relax, and life feels good again. --- Roots The roots were healthy—maybe too healthy! While the AirPot (20L) prevented root circling, it didn’t eliminate it entirely. There were dead zones at the bottom where roots circled around the perimeter. A dense root mat formed at the bottom (so dense you couldn’t poke a finger through it), which likely contributed to salt buildup. Breaking through that mat required more water, and I suspect this caused EC to spike 1.5x the next day if there was no runoff. Next time, I’ll mix some pumice with the substrate at the bottom, about 3–4 cm deep. --- Timelapse I only got the timelapse running after the switch to flowering, so it’s not from the beginning. Still, it’s an incredibly useful tool for understanding growth rates. I’ll definitely use it for future grows. Comparing yesterday to today is one thing, but rewinding a week to see how things were is game-changing. I recommend it! You can even use an old phone with a timelapse app if your camera doesn’t support it by default. --- What’s Next I’ve grown fat buds before, but I’ve always neglected curing. This time, I’m doing it by the book with full control. Drying in the grow box with RH controlled at 50–60% (averaging 55%) for a slow, even dry. Temps are kept between 20–23°C, with frequent venting to keep it below 21°C for terpene preservation. After 7–10 days, when small stems snap with a characteristic sound, I’ll trim and jar them with humidity sensors. For the first two weeks, I’ll burp the jars twice daily, then reduce to once daily for the next two weeks. After that, I’ll monitor the RH sensors and adjust as needed. I’ll share the details after curing is complete. After drying, I’ll weigh the buds, take photos, and share another post in a month or two after curing to report on the flavor and aroma. For now, I’m taking a breather, fine-tuning my setup, and preparing for my next grow: Wizard Trees - Zangria S1.

If you've followed me for a while you will know how proud I am of my first photo grow. Now this strain was gifted to me and I'm super happy with them. They've been strong, had to move them twice in 24 hours and still seemed happy. Would of really liked to keep a cut of pheno 3 as that looks a good yielder and smells lovely. I've not weighed it as its pointless wet and untrimmed. Anything over 5-6oz I'll be happy 🤷‍♂️🏼🤣 will be back to update in 10 days 🤞🏻✌️🏻

We are officially in full bloom. The have been enjoying 6-7 hours of sun light per day for about 4 days now, then brought back in under the cobs. The girls are all exploding with growth and stacking what I expect to be huge buds.
#SensiSeedsResearch II
The Sensi Seeds Research breeding project has created eleven cannabis seed varieties. How? By combining new cannabis cultivars with a selection of strains from their long-established cannabis gene bank. For the first time in thirty-six years, they are opening the doors of the Sensi Seeds Research and Development Department. Week #5 Plants are doing well, there’s not much to do except to let them grow. Roots are filling the pots, I might transplant them in their final pots (18l) during next week. The Mars-Hydro SP250 has done a very good job during these 5 weeks. The plants need more space to grow, I will have to switch on the HID next week to give some more light coverage. Giving them a light feed during the week using Cellmax BIO 8-2-2 (not listed) and not Organic Grow ☝️ In my quest for plants science I have found something interesting about the Dr Cleve Backster 😊 but apparently controlled experiments that have attempted to replicate Backster's findings have failed... weird isn’t it ? 😳 (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)
Strawberry Lights 1-Gallon Challenge
October 30 2026 She's been repotted into a 1 gallon container, and she's doing really well. Her build is compact, and her leaves are a pleasing shade of green.
Unknown Strain
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Hermi!!!! Our beautiful mystery plant is sporting pollen sacks.. she just went on a field trip.. we're closing this diary out.. we'll let her finish naturally outside and salvage what we can for edibles and bubble hash... a very depressing outcome to a lot of work and training... we don't know if this was genetic or stress induced and have about 3 medium sized plants cloned from her in veg atm.. we're hesitant to flower any of them, instead we're taking all new clones from our GDP thats in 3rd week of flower, hoping for a fast re-veg... thanks for reading..be sure to inspect your plants diligently friends..happy growing
Super Boof Cherry FF (Miley) GoodGenetix
Miley sprouted very quickly, and even in her first week, she shows that she’s not wasting any time. The green of her leaves looks fantastic, and she seems to practically attract water droplets from the air. By the end of the first week, she has grown to a height of 7 cm.

Die letzten Tage gab es kein Wasser mehr und 48h Licht vor der Ernte. Anschließend wurde die Pflanze im ganzen geerntet einen Tag über aufgehangen und anschließend die einzelnen Buds zum trocknen in den Cannatrol verfrachtet. Nun harren wir der Dinge und freuen uns jetzt schon auf fruchtige Terpene.
Dolato
Dolato is looking pretty good didn’t expect a freebie to do so well lol. She is still maturing and trichomes seem to have little ways to ripen so she might need another week or two before harvest. Her scent is not so unique more strong but it’s there, sweet and creamy! Was expecting her to be ready sooner so I’ve been depleting her of nutrients two weeks now. Hopefully she speed up so I can harvest sooner since I’m using the tent for drying with clones, will need to use flowering tent to dry them all together.

Start of Week 11. I'm DEFINITELY chopping this during this week. I have a photo in the tent with it, (also why it's been on 12/12 if you have been following along), and it's getting ready and I just want to dry it all at once so I can do a complete reset. SO... I took some better pictures of the plant. Enjoy. PS: In some of the pictures, you'll see my other plant. The Flo White clone on the right side of the tent. :)
มันคือ Aeroponics ครั้งแรกสำหรับฉัน 🍓🍎
ตัดแล้ว Harvest เล่นเอาซะเหนื่อย แต่ก็มีความสุข ไม่อยากจะเชื่อว่า Aeroponics จะทรงพลังได้มากขนาดนี้ ชอบโดยรวมแล้วชอบมากๆเลย สุดยอดสุดสุด และถ้าปลูกต่อไปจะหาวิธีปลูก ป้องกันการอุดตันของหัวฉีด

Die letzten Tage... Für die 3 geht es nun deutlich Richtung Ende. Trichome sind alle Trüb und vereinzelt sind schon Ember zu sehen (vor allem bei der mittleren). Denke mal bis Ende nächster Woche sind sie dann soweit. 🥀 Geruch ist bei 2 identisch (mitte/rechts). Die linke ist etwas süßer/Cremiger ist als die andren beiden und riecht eher nach Mandarine/Orange. Ansonsten süß/cremig mit etwas Gas und etwas säuerlich mit leichten Zitrusnoten😜😍😍😍
@Grow4Releaf
You can see this girl is getting big. I've done a few rounds of topping and she has spread out i'm going to put her in her own tent in a few days when my new fans come in... She's gonna be a big one =) .. Hope all is well.God bless and happy growing 🙏

The Slurricane IX is a beast of a plant to grow, the growth is quick and quite bushy. I would advise to train these plants SCROG..or something.. the stretch is just crazy..im gona say prepare for a 200% + stretch. Thy will easily get out of of control if not managed well. Pest resistance is good, i did not have any bug problems, but i did have a small WPM issue, but it was very crowded in there. Sorted it out by defoliation and a treatment of hydrogen peroxide took care of the problem. Very thirsty plants, at there peak, 9 plants was drinking 110L a week. Very stong smelling plants. Extremely dense flowers covered in a sluricane of trichomes. Harvest of the plant is quite easy, not a very bushy cola..so its a easy trim. Overall a great genetic to grow and a beautiful plants in itself. @InHouseGenetics .. superb. Thank you guys so much for giving us the privilege to grow such amazing genetics. Keep up the great work. Happy growing. 😁 😜

For me was just a dream. An exacting journey that I just loved sharing on Growdiares with every one...feeling finally free to share my passion and learn from other great growers. Next grow will be outdoor, and can't wait to try it out with my fast buds Gelato seeds.
