Less is more. Lesson learned. Without training these plants, having the fifth plant has really cramped the tent. Because I have limited space for the tent, access into the sides isn't possible. I have only the front entrance. Next time I think I will stick yo maybe three strains that have been positive and try and find the time to train more. The WOS-Northern/Skunk has grown out so nicely into a Xmas tree type of posture. She is making her really good friends with her neighbours, perhaps to their detriment. Seedsman Blueberry continues to be solid and unphased by anything. This is the first time I have smelled a plant that has such a fruity aroma. It really took me aback in surprise. Very cool. HiFi 4G needs support. Did a McGyver solution for the time being. Doesn't appear to have bulked up much this week. Jack is about the same. A bit of bulk up but not expecting this one to be a big yielder. Appears healthy overall so I'm happy. CBD+ bulked up for sure on the main cola's. I'm skeptical she will be done at 60 days at this point....but have to trust what Dinafem are telling me. Be safe folks.

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 5 Report Early Vegetative Development (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 Note on timing: This is labeled as Week 5 in GrowDiaries / Grow Iris, even though in real growth rhythm we are closer to Week 3 of true vegetative development. This offset comes from starting the diary early and using photo-heavy germination documentation. We’ll continue to clarify this each week for transparency and consistency. ⸻ 🌱 Growth Overview – Training Reveals Character This week confirmed something important: training doesn’t slow a plant — it reveals it. Last week, we began Low Stress Training (LST) on one selected plant using clamps to gently guide the main stem close to horizontal. At the time, she was the smallest plant of the Nectar Drip group. This week, her response has been nothing short of beautiful. Despite being smaller, she reacted with: • accelerated side branching • clear apical redistribution • strong node activation • healthy, vibrant green growth She is opening up, spreading out, and showing structure — not by force, but by invitation. ⸻ ✂️ Training Focus – Low Stress, High Precision The trained plant is now the focus of this week’s report, because she’s telling us a story worth listening to. What’s being done: • Main stem gently bent and held near-parallel to the soil • Leaves progressively opened and repositioned • Lower growth sites intentionally exposed to light • No snapping, no crushing, no stress points This is classic Low Stress Training (LST) — the goal is not control, but redirection. What we’re seeing: • Lower branches actively pushing upward • Tighter internodal spacing • A wider, flatter structure • Balanced energy distribution She’s currently entering her fourth node, and already the lower growth is responding like it knows it’s been invited to participate. You can clearly see this in the macro photos — the symmetry, the confidence, the way each branch is waking up. ⸻ 📸 Macro Session – When the Plant Earns the Spotlight This week, the trained plant earned her moment. She was taken into the studio for a dedicated macro session — and she deserved it. The photos reveal: • clean, healthy tissue • vibrant green coloration • active growth points • no signs of stress or hesitation Up close, it becomes obvious: this plant isn’t struggling — she’s thinking. ⸻ 🌿 The Other Plants – Natural Expression The remaining Nectar Drip plants are not being trained as intensively. For them: • leaves are gently tucked • some bending is done to guide light penetration • no structural manipulation beyond basic canopy management They are: • taller • more vertical • opening naturally • branching in their own rhythm They look fantastic — healthy, lush, and confident — but their expression is clearly different from the trained plant. Same genetics, same room, same feed… different guidance. This contrast is exactly why this approach is valuable. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Room Conditions (Unchanged) Conditions remain consistent with last week: • Relative Humidity: ~65% • Day Temperature: ~26 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Lamp Distance: ~1.70 m • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow continues to increase slightly, encouraging movement and stem strength without stress. ⸻ 💡 Light – Growing Into Intensity PPFD continues its gradual rise: • Previously: ~500 PPFD • Current range: 500 → 600 PPFD, depending on plant height Once again, the plants are growing toward the light, not being forced into it. This progressive increase matches structure and development perfectly. ⸻ Nutrition – Stay the Course Nutrition remains unchanged, because the plants are clearly happy. • Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race (foliar) Leaf color, posture, and response all confirm that stability is working. This is a deliberate mix of mineral precision and biological support, based on experience and personal philosophy. As always: everything shared here reflects my own experience, opinions, lessons, and mistakes, offered openly to the community. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect / What Not to Expect Expect: • continued lateral development on the trained plant • more defined structure • increased canopy complexity • visible divergence between trained vs untrained plants Do Not Expect: • instant size catch-up • explosive vertical growth • stress reactions The trained plant may not become the tallest — but she may become the most interesting. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude Much love and respect to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL (artist and collaborator) • Plagron • Future of Grow And thank you to everyone following this journey — supporters, critics, silent readers, and longtime friends. ⸻ 🌟 Week 5 Summary • Training is working • Genetics are solid • Differences are emerging • Structure is forming • The story is getting richer She was the smallest. She’s responding the strongest. And she’s just getting started.

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.

Switched to the Bloomspect/Bloom mode last week. Can’t decide if I should use the spider farmer sf1000 and use the Bloomspect for the seedling I have in another tent.

Setted up this cutting of Skywalker. Having some initial problems with air and humidity. Hopefully is going to rain soon so humidity will rise a bit. Planning to do some LST and ScrOG. I'm helped by a friend because my skills are not good enough yet. Let me know if you liked the sequences! I'm trying to do some timelapse research as well. Raspberry is running the timelapse and compiling the video I'm trying to update every day or two. 😷7/12 Changed water due nutrients deposit. Clean start as the roots have touched the water. EC 1.5 Ph 6.2 😵Ps. light was set with VEG and BLOOM BOTH ON! Lol, hopefully this is the 5th day 😂

Had to spray some medicine again as there was a few bite marks from spidermites. May not get rid of em but can keep them at a lower number until harvest otherwise I would love to get rid of em but don't know the likelihood of that happening. Currently in the tent at 12/12 light schedule and have the lights running at night so cold of the night doesn't stunt any growth.

Week 8 for Peyote Zkittlez by seedsman, She was moved outdoors😎 Trained her as flat as i could due another session very soon to readjust the ties. But even though temps have been crazy hot she seems to of enjoyed the transition to the sun & extra growth space. Shes been fed once this week just plain water with some extra (WCA) Water Soluble Calcium to try add some calcium to the plant so it has plenty when it comes to flowering later on. Need to giver her a mulch layer now she's outdoors but with all the ties for the training its going to be difficult😂

Just cruising at this point. Got them all on the same moisture level again. Slight infestation with gnats, but nothing to worry about at this stage. Will start giving a bit less water soon and have a big last defol in a week or so. They got their mix of mycos, trichs, bacteria and molasses again, seem to love it. Slight discoloration on the top OGT buds, but they're the tallest and receive 1100 ppfd, so I won't adjust anything.

So sorry I missed a week! We were gone on vacation and I couldn't get good connections 😕 I removed most of her LST ties because her branches have hardened up enough Ahsoka Is doing terrific!! Her buds are really staring to get dense and sticky. And her smell!! 🤭 is wonderful! I'll try to describe it when it matures a bit more. So Ahsoka should be within 2 weeks to finishing so we have switched to regular water to get her a good chance to flush properly 🤞 Big new on the tent! I upgraded to a 4x8 and added 4 3500k auto cobs from cobshop.net And an AC Infinity 6" TS fan which is silent and awesome! Stats: 4x8 tent 1gal water pitcher Fox farms happy frog soil Optic 8+ LED, 4x 3500k auto cobs Portable air conditioner Dehumidifier Durabreeze carbon filter 6" AC Infinity TS

Successful regeneration has led to a new problem.. I don’t know where to flower her! I took a couple of cuttings of new normal growth to clone for now. Will take more cuttings as she develops further. She’s healthy and very cool. I apologize for the strand of my hair caught around her old flower in the video.
