this week we went into flowering the plants are in shape and growing day by day I am waiting to repot them one last time in 13 l pots with Guano Bat Mix from Plagron finally all is well than happiness 🤞🏻 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🙏😃

My Rainbow Melon plant has been a powerhouse from day one! It's always been one of the fastest and strongest growers in the tent. For a while, it was the undisputed champion in terms of size, and it's still neck and neck for second place. This plant is just bursting with vigor, and I'm super excited to see what kind of yield I get from it. It's got that classic Rainbow Melon aroma – sweet and fruity with a hint of earthiness. It's gonna be a good one! This past week has been a whirlwind of work, leaving little time for anything else. My phone's camera roll is sadly neglected, with only a few snapshots to show for it. But finally, I'm finding a moment to catch up on my grow diaries. It's been exciting to see the progress, even if it's just through photos. I'm looking forward to documenting the next stage!

12/12 from seed. Week 12 overall. Week 8 of flower. And Cosmic Noodles is doing exactly what a finisher should do. No drama. No panic. No chasing numbers. Just a massive plant, a controlled fade, and a very clear push into the final stretch. She is not limping to the finish. She is arriving with weight. ⸻ 🍜 The Final Reduction This week, everything comes out except Pure Zym. No bloom feed. No boosters. No extras. No correction bottles. No late flower chasing. Just enzymes. And time. At this point, the goal is no longer to build. The goal is to finish clean. She has already done the hard part. The bulk is there. The frost is there. The density is there. Now the plant is simply being allowed to use what she has already stored. That’s the shift this week. Less input. More observation. Less pushing. More finishing. And for a plant this far along, that is often the better move. ⸻ 🌱 Why Keep Pure Zym In Because even when feed stops, the root zone is still working. Pure Zym stays because the medium is still alive. Microbial activity does not stop just because bottles do. At this stage, enzymes still help break down residual organic matter in the root zone, keep the medium cleaner, and support a softer transition as the plant begins consuming what remains available. That matters even more when the soil is not treated like disposable media. Because it isn’t. This soil still has a second job after this run. It goes outside. It gets reused. It feeds vegetables. It stays alive. And whether it is hard science, soft biology, or just grower instinct — keeping that soil active until the end has always made sense here. Not everything needs to be sterile to be effective. Sometimes the better approach is simply not killing what is still working. ⸻ ? Living Soil, Second Life That has always been part of the rhythm. What finishes the room does not leave the cycle. It just changes jobs. Once this run is done, that soil goes back outside and keeps working somewhere else. Different crop. Same biology. Same purpose. So yes — keeping the medium active late matters. Not just for this harvest. For what comes after it too. Call it practical. Call it circular. Call it habit. Either way, dead soil has never been the goal. ⸻ 📉 EC Down, pH Up, Eyes On the Plant This is where the spreadsheet starts losing authority. EC is down. Input is nearly gone. pH has drifted upward into that 6.8–7 range. And right now, it is not being forced back down. Not because numbers do not matter. Because context matters more. At this stage, the plant is finishing. Uptake is slowing. Demand is lower. Feed has been reduced. The root zone is doing less work than it was two weeks ago. So yes — on paper, some of these numbers would make people uncomfortable. In practice? The plant looks exactly like a plant that is finishing correctly. Still drinking. Still praying. Still stacking. Still fading evenly. Still moving from top to bottom without confusion. That matters more than chasing a perfect chart in the final stretch. Room VPD is a reference. Leaf response is the truth. And this room continues to be read by plant behavior first, numbers second. As always. ⸻ 🌡️ Conditions Stay Stable Nothing changed in the room because nothing needed to. Conditions remain steady. No dramatic swings. No forced stress. No late-stage environmental tricks. The room is stable. The plant is stable. The finish is stable. And late flower stability is one of the most underrated parts of a clean finish. No heroic adjustments. No panic corrections. No reinvention in the last chapter. Just consistency. ⸻ ️ A Proper Finisher And this one is a beast. Not “good structure.” Not “nice tops.” A beast. Huge central cola. Heavy side stacking. Dense flower formation. Thick terminals. Real weight from top to bottom. This is one of those plants that stops being judged branch by branch and starts being judged as mass. Because the whole frame is carrying. She is not finishing in isolated tops. She is finishing as a full plant. That matters. The top is heavy. The mid is real. The lowers are still worthwhile. And the entire plant is moving together. That is what a complete finisher looks like. ⸻ ❄️ Frost, Density & Finish Quality And she is not just big. She is finishing properly. Dense flower. Heavy resin. Excellent frost coverage. Strong calyx development. Good terminal formation. Real weight in the hands. The important part now is that she is not only stacking size — she is finishing with quality. That is the difference between a plant that looks impressive and a plant that actually delivers. This one does both. And whether part of her gets dried or part of her gets frozen, she has already made the case for both. That decision can wait. Right now, the only job is to let her finish. ⸻ 🍂 The Fade Is Real — And It’s Everywhere The fade is already underway. And more importantly, it is happening correctly. Not isolated. Not patchy. Not confused. She is fading from top to bottom. Across the plant. Across the canopy. Across the frame. That matters. A uniform fade tells a very different story than a stressed collapse. This is not random yellowing. This is not deficiency panic. This is senescence. The plant is reallocating. The cycle is closing. The finish has started. And she is doing it evenly. That is exactly what you want to see here. ⸻ 💡 Canopy Light Matters And once again, the lesson stays the same: Canopy lighting matters. When the full frame is finishing together, it shows. When lowers stay relevant, it shows. When the plant matures with less separation between top and bottom expression, it shows. Uniform development is not an accident. Top-to-bottom consistency like this is one of the clearest arguments for proper canopy penetration when the setup allows for it. Not mandatory in every room. But when possible, absolutely worth it. This plant makes that case on her own. ⸻ 📘 Week 12, Cosmic Noodles This is what the late game should feel like. Calm. Heavy. Controlled. Predictable. Close. No overreaction. No bottle panic. No forced finish. Just a large, healthy plant using the last of what she has and moving toward the end exactly like she should. And that is all this week needed to be. ⸻ ⏭️ What Comes Next Next week should bring more fade. More color loss. Less drinking. More swelling where it still matters. And a clearer final read on timing. She may finish next week. She may ask for a little longer. Both are still on the table. What should not happen is panic. No sudden overfeeding. No late corrections. No chasing green back into a plant that is already doing what finishing plants are supposed to do. From here, the job is simple: Watch the leaves. Watch the resin. Watch the pace. Then cut when the plant says so. ⸻ 🤝 Thank You To the long-time followers. To the new ones. To the quiet readers. To the loud ones. To the skeptics. To the supporters. To the critics. To the growers who watch closely. To the ones who question everything. To the ones who simply keep showing up. To GrowDiaries. To the community. To the sponsors. To the gear. To the tools. To the genetics. To everyone following the process, whether they agree with every choice or not. Thank you. The room keeps teaching. The plants keep answering.

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.

Hello fellow growers, Shy beginning for the Double Grape and nothing much to report. It's growing slowly but surely. I might have put my lights a bit too high at first because the seedling got very leggy. I lowered it, approximately 60cm away (23inches) and increased the brightness, from 25 to 50%. I gave it its very first HESI feeding, see details above. Please don't hesitate to check my Instagram page. I'm new there, it would be nice to connect with other growers! @harukisan_grower_cz/ See you next week 😎

Finally my All in one mix arrived and im back to my normal feedings, by this i mean other labels bring up to much the EC in the water, making it harder to had whatever you want to had more 😅😆 Day 5 flower and you can se they wore desperate to flower, they are running and stretching like there’s no tomorrow 😅 lets see how will this afect in terms of space and canopy, so far so good but we are at day 5 and the6 are monsters comparing to the other side of the tent 😆 Day 7 and I’m already looking at them and thinking they need a air cut 😅 this girls are growing and drinking kind a fast 😆 with is a great signal. For next week i will start increasing the ppfd , my DLI and i will try and bring temps down so that i can bring humidity down also, if you guys follow me you guys know i go by VPD so if i move one parameter, i have to ove the rest 😝💚😁 PPFD - 526 Umol/m2 DLI - 21.0 mol/m2d VPD - 1.30 kPa Girls: SAD f1 @seewtseeds Badazz Cookies OJ @seedsman Alaskan Purple @seedsman Peyote Gorilla @seedsman Super Glue @anesiaseeds White Mango @personalfriendstrain Light Lumatek Zeus 465W compact pro at 75% All i grow is medecine for myself, nothing to sell, dont even ask !!!! Stay safe and do it with love for the love ❤️ 🙏 💚Growers Love to you all 💚

Steady as she goes. Got some nutrient burn as I did up the nutrients....so I went back down again. Plants looks great to me but the fat lady hasn't sung yet!

readyyy

November 2nd marked another week of flower with "Pepper". She is a beautiful plant of jewel tones of greens, glistening under the frosty coating. We're getting close to the end. November 3, 2021, Wednesday. Nothing new to report. November 4, 2021, Thursday. Watered thoroughly. Her calyxes are swelling before my eyes, it's such a beautiful site. November 5, 2021, Friday. She's such a lovely site with buds just swelling by the minute. I believe she'll be ready to harvest sooner than I think. November 6, 2021, Saturday. Nothing new to report. November 7, 2021, Sunday. Day of rest.

Vorgestern hesi Dünger gegeben Heute nur Wasser und Supervit das in 2 tage nochmal und in 4 Tagen weiter düngern mit hesi

I'd like to say a big hello to all and thanks for taking a look at my first grow! all feedback is appreciated and I am happy to experience growing this plant even if I do not succeed this time. Apologies for the bad picture quality, I will improve this! without further ado lets give this Dwarf a happy life! Pre soaked the canna pro plus coco with plant start at 2ml/1ltr No activity from the plant in the first three days. using a big baggie as a humidity dome which has helped keep humidity high for the 🌱 Noticed on day 5 that the root has made its way through the soil bigtime and was desperately reaching for the light... immediately placed under the phlizon 3000w (630w true power draw) COB LED using only the LED supplemental lights (270w)and started a 2ml/ltr dose of plant start Day 6 - Plant has started to recover from being in the dark too long, starting rhizotonic today also at 2ml/l alongside 2ml/l vitalink plantstart. Regularly misting the humidity dome to keep humidity as near 70% as possible (sometimes with rhizotonic spray) Temperature is between 23c and 27c throughout the day. Day 7 - Nothing much to report other than healthy looking seedling, I've been alternating between the COB (330w) and LED (270w) lights throughout the day, have not to wanted to put them both on together incase I fry her :D Tomorrow I'm starting my week 2 and im seriously considering transplanting to my final pot (smart pot) which is a 5gallon/19liter pot... (will seek advice below) and switching from 2ml/ltr vitalink plantstart 2ml rhizotonic schedule to canna A +B 2ml/ltr canna rhizotonic 2ml/ltr.

so were almost at harvest, have begun flushing this last week and hopefully will be chopping beginning of next week, then the cure... CAN NOT WAIT TO BUST UP SOME OF THESE NUGS AND PACK THEM IN THE BON 😆

Day 23 - Annoyingly, one of the main shoots snapped off after I pegged it down. It was fine when I left it, but as it is such a vigorous grower, it snapped off under the pressure of its own growth. All is not lost, as I will top it 4 times instead of my usual 3, to make up for the lost buds. This plant appears to be a BEAST so I think she can take it no problem. I should end up with 24 glorious main colas and a load of b-grade for the hash making pile! I gave her around 2 litres of treated water (see germ page for details). Around 500ml directly into the base of the plant, and the rest spread around the pot. It's important during this late vegging stage to water into the edges of the pot as much as possible, and encourage maximal root spread. Big roots = big fruits She's starting to smell earthy! Day 28 - she doesn't need any water today. The pot is still heavy. She's growing fast, so I'm confident I can top her one more time. I've pegged down 4 of the arms into a circle shape around the edge, and tied two arms together pointing vertically straight up. It should look stunning in a couple of weeks!

25 and 28 days from planting. A couple of days before, I started cutting off the large leaves. Today I started doing LST. Perhaps I was a little hasty with this, but we'll see. The temperature problem has been resolved. Watering is carried out every 3 days. For the entire volume of the pot.

Day 23 Photoshooting Topping (only left the 3. node) This plant shows an extremely high growth rate compared to Creme Caramel The final run is only carried out with one plant.

Bienvenido a la aventura compañero 🛸❄️✨💐 Una semana espectacular para nuestra Do-Si-Dos de @Zammi_official en combinación con la gama gloriosa de @Plagron La ayuda en este diario ha sido de la mano del grower y amigo @noNick123 . Recomendando siempre cosas positivas, gran teoría ✨ Espero que Zamnesia tome en cuenta su participación a pesar del inconveniente ocurrido con el frío, hermano 💪🏽 Subimos la temperatura del agua antes de preparar la dosis, 23 C⁰ con 450 PPM aprox, inicial por riego. Bajamos las dosis considerablemente y llegamos a un ppm de unos 800. Entiendo ahora que significaba cuando @noNick123 recomendó calentar el agua antes de la mezcla... El día jueves 11/1/24 comenzamos a regar solo con agua. Esta planta se ha vuelto una bestia creadora de resina, ahora la mantendremos en este estado y quizás necesite ser alimentada alguna vez más 🤔 tengo ganas de cortarla, pero la dejaremos a a que madure un poco 😌 Los tricomas están 70% lechosos 20% transparentes y 10% ámbar. La lámpara ahora está más alta para no dañar ninguna glándula ❄️👌 Por ahora esto es todo, estoy aprovechando todo esto para ir eligiendo la nueva tanda de semillas a cultivar 🤩 Quiero hacer una extracción con esta próxima cosecha, no guardar tanta materia vegetal en casa. Alguien conoce una manera casera sin mucha inversión?! Oil, dry, bubble hash... NO CHARAS 😁 Un abrazo fuerte para todos y muchos ánimos 💐 siempre hay tiempo para hacerlo mejor, para darle al siguiente paso pisando firme Saludos!

Spent a couple hours tonight making a few small adjustments to the grow. Did a fresh water swap again this week as a lot of the buckets were getting close to dry. Took the time to add some screws on each of the bucket lids to make some good anchor points for some LST to open up the canopies. Picked up a bag of clay pebbles to make sure the net pots were filled to the top to help block light/heat from getting inside the bucket and a roll of insulation wrap for the buckets. Last week the temps of the water started to creep up to about 72-74 in the day so wanted to try and get the temps back down to below 70. I also ordered 4.5” air stone discs for each bucket to replace the underwhelming 1” ball airstones I’ve been using. Been meaning to do this for awhile now and go once my schedule and adhd didn’t get in the way and they will be in tomorrow lol. EC - 2.2 (average) pH - 5.7 (average) Water Temp - 66 (average) Room Temp - 69 F Humidity - 50% Lights - 16-18” from canopy @ 60% Will be increasing lights to 70% and running 13/11 after a day or so for the following 2 weeks (hoping to help increase the density of the buds during weeks 5-7) Overall I’m happy with how everything has been going with this grow. Where I was hoping to get to try out the current culture setup the weather here has went from snow storms to 73 degrees and back and forth over the past few weeks. Once I get the mini split installed in the actual grow room this won’t be an issue….just need to find the time to get it done 🙄😫. If things stay on track with this grow I’m hoping to pull at least 4lbs of dry weight 🤞🏽 The next grow I’ve been thinking of picking out 2 strains from my grows thus far and running 18 plants of each strain (considering i have 2 -18 site current culture systems) Want to focus on yield for the next grow. Want to aim for 10-12 pounds. Will most likely be trying out an outdoor grow as well since the timing will be perfect to do an outdoor run.
