Hey guys! Flowering stretch is going very well, used to spray the leafs with the "Delta 9" again, and a little bit of leafs defoliation, the tea is the same as the last week, keep flower and coming close to the most interesting weeks ;p

Она прекрасно растет и очень меня радует!))) мощный ствол, листья, боковые ветки практически догоняют центральную. Она буквально пожирает конкурентов в палатке занимая все место своими листьями и ветвями! Хорошо что скоро автоцветущие освободят палатку и все место, свет и внимание останется только для нее! Тогда и переведу на цветение. (Начиная с этой недели буду выкладывать фото и видео роста в реальном времени.)

Neue Woche Leute 3.5 Luftfeuchtigkeit heute leider zu hoch gegangen wegen außen Einflüsse (Fenster auf). Abluft Anlage angeschmissen und alles geregelt. Auf den Fotos sieht man leicht ein gewölbte Blätter. Mache mir da aber keine Sorgen.

Grape Walker Kush is massive. Very pleased with these plants. Super Orange Haze is also doing great, just more normal size, not as massive as GWK. SOH is also slightly behind GWK in bud stage.

🌱 Animal Mints — Week 6 From Seed (≈ Week 2 Flower / Pre-Flower Phase) Quick Recap for New Readers This run includes multiple Animal Mints plants, all treated similarly, but we’re mainly cataloging two reference plants to clearly show how timing affects structure and development: • Plant A → 12/12 from seed • Plant B → ~15 days under 16/8 veg, then flipped to flower Same genetics, same room, same feeding — different timelines. That’s the whole experiment. ⸻ Plant A vs Plant B — Why Two Plants? • Plant A (12/12 from seed) • More compact • Slower early structure • Responds very well to gentle leaf bending and light training • Still stretching and stacking nicely • Plant B (short veg period) • Bigger frame • More developed branching • Further along in flower at the same “seed age” • Took light cleanup / lollipopping better This small veg window made a huge difference in structure and flower progression, and that’s exactly why we’re documenting both. ⸻ ✂️ Canopy Work (No Heavy Defoliation) This week we did selective leaf removal, not a true defoliation: • Opened airflow and light paths • Removed shaded or blocking leaves • Light lollipopping on Plant B only • Plant A kept mostly intact, just leaf bending and spacing Goal wasn’t stress — it was space, airflow, and efficiency. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Day Temp: ~28°C (successfully raised) • Humidity: ~65% • PPFD: ~600–850 (depending on height & position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm (now stabilizing around 909 ppm) As outside temps stayed cooler, the room naturally became its own heat source: • Increased plant mass • Higher light intensity • Under-canopy lighting added No forced heaters. No extremes. Just letting the system balance itself. 🌬️ Airflow • Vortex extraction • Multiple cross-flow fans • Constant gentle movement No leaf chaos — just steady motion. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy This week marks a clear transition phase. • EC: ~2.4 • pH: 6.5 (transitioning down — all feeds now 6.0+) Why Higher pH Right Now? As plants move into flower, nutrient demand shifts: • Better Ca / Mg uptake • Stronger phosphorus & potassium availability • Root activity increases Slightly higher pH at this stage supports structural growth and flower formation, especially under higher light and CO₂. Nutrient Transition • Terra Grow → Flowering nutrients • Supporting the hormonal shift from stretch → stack • Small signs of possible cal-mag demand observed — already being addressed, nothing severe ⸻ 🌿 Growth Observations • Both plants look healthy and vigorous • Plant B is clearly ahead in flower development • Plant A continues to stretch and respond beautifully to training • Leaf color overall is excellent • Bud sites stacking cleanly At this point: • All plants are in pre-flower / early flower • We’re counting this as Week 2 flower in the life cycle ⸻ 📸 Studio Session Plants were brought into the studio to: • document structure clearly • show node spacing and canopy differences • create a clean visual timeline Photos reflect real structure, not “posed perfection”. ⸻ ❤️ Final Words Big thanks to: • the geneticists • the sponsors • the platform • the OGs • the newcomers • the critics • the lovers • even the haters Everyone has a place here. We share wins, mistakes, and lessons openly so we can all grow better together. Criticism is welcome — it’s how progress happens.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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.

Hey ZAMNESIA has sent some more seeds to rock under the new lights X2 Vipraspectra lights 200watt total 400 watts These new lights (LEDS) where sent by Vipraspectra to upgrade me to newer LED lights with the sunlike full spectrum lights , the room is brighter no doubt and the spectrum of light outperformed the HPS running at 400watt the same running power as both LEDs . As you can see I'm already a fan of this light and I haven't even been running it under plants yet I've just had it on to see what the running temps where of the room and at 19oc does a pretty good job at keeping stable temps . I do plan on adding another P2000 in for flower The leds themselves run with 3000k 5000k warm white and cool white IR AND DEEP RED giving of a full spectrum of light , running there pretty bright and a recommended hanging height of 20inch , I've hung the lights at 5foot with the hps also and will not move my hanging height instead I'll start from 100% light and increase towards flower the amount of leds. These lights arent over expensive considering there dimmable with a great functioning dimmer switch, also I notice there built quality is superior in this category of lights and price, there solid heat sink is amazing giving the light a solid build finish the driver is mounted on the top but raised away from the board to maintain better heat dissipation from the driver and board . Approx 6 foot cable hanging rope also include with a very well thought out hanging kit .the only thing I think was a downside is having no stickers I'd love to see these light come with logos corresponding to the size of the light , 2x2 = 2foot sticker would be amazing 😉 If your interested USE CODE : IGROWNEIL at checkout an get 5% off and also help this channel There's also the link to join and become an affiliate https://partners.viparspectra.com/create-account?ref=jursrsaof8 Back to the seeds these girls where the frist to pop above ground on my last . I didn't get out of the frist week and the timer failed so ZAMNESIA quite happily sent the same batch of seeds to start again with which is pretty class of them , big thank you These genicitis are top class 👏 I'm glad to be running them again as I do love gorilla glue they also have sent Runtz and GSC which in themselves are another couple of great strains with amazing genetic potential locked up in there seeds 😀 Started on 14-11-21 , I was planning on using hps along with this run but instead I'm gonna aquire a xs4000 from viparspectra 480watt and have the two p2000 hung at either end leaving us with 880watt LED grow ( will be insane) The seeds are all off to a great start but I'll always have great exceptions for this strains. The last time all 3 gorilla glue where frist above the soil , nows there a wide selection of strains growing and will be multiple plants also I ended up dropping 20 seeds I total 3 of them being the GLUE

Back on track! Giving them some nitrogen has them drinking water at a much quicker rate and the flowers are adding some new growth in all direction. I think they’ll be a week or two behind the original forecasted finish date and while the leaves may not be the prettiest these little northern lights autos are going to have that great smell and taste we’ve all come to love.

Diese Woche habe ich mir etwas einfallen lassen damit ich nicht nur Photos hinterlasse sondern auch etwas über mein System erklären kann. Letzte Woche Sonntag habe ich einige Plants getoppt und sie schauen soweit ganz gut aus. Ich hatte leider letzte Woche he ein Problem mit dem Root Juice von Advanced Nutrients die Nährlösung in den Tanks ist gekippt. Ich habe es erst am zweiten Tag gesehen und habe sofort alles geputzt und Wasser gewächselt. Danach wieder alles eingestellt und läuft. Ph: 5.7 Ec : 0.9 Ich habe auch jeweils 20g Mineral Magic in die Nährlösung hinzugefügt und 1 Teelöffel davon um den Stil der Plants gemacht. In meinen 2 Videos findet ihr mehr dazu. Happy Growing :)

D92. At the start of week eight of flower, the girls are simply doing their thing and slowly bulking up. I gave each girl 1.25 liters of water @ pH 6.6. ------------------------------ D93. I brewed compost tea (worm castings, rock dust, kelp meal, biochar, oatmeal) and gave each girl 2.5 liters @ pH 6.6. ------------------------------ D95. Each girl got 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.6 with FFJ, humic acid, and a teaspoon of Epsom salt. ------------------------------ D98. We're at the end of week eight of flower, and we're heading toward the final stretch. I guess another two to four weeks until harvest. Today, each girl got 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.7. ------------------------------

Tangerine Band is growing great. I switched her light times yesterday to flowering times. She got a little defoliation today to help with stretching light. Everything is looking good. Thank you Exotic Seeds, Spider Farmer, and Athena nutrition. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

I started watering with clear water 3 days ago, the lower leaves started to turn yellow or dry. The first amber pistils appeared, CBD Rich has a few more. The trichomes that I observed with a loupe are currently clear and milky. The smell of the juanita is starting to be divine, fruity and tropical 🍍, it reminds me of the beach, but I won't be able to tell you what exotic fruit it is, I haven't eaten enough of it. The buds have also grown quite a bit. I think this is the largest quantity I have ever seen in this box. The harvest will perhaps be in 20 days Music : Toi mourir - Serge Gainsbourg little update to show you the impressive colors during the senescence that one of the 4 took, probably it's a little cooler under the fan. They are all starting to yellow, but it should last until 65 days. There will probably be no more leaves this day.

i was surprised that she was done on 2/15/25 spidermites had completely taken over one bud so i decided to check trichomes and she seemed ready.
