Week 1 : Auto Colorado Cookies Biotabs sprouted quick bursting out of their shell, stayed in the propagator 4 days then straight and erly into the forever home prepared according to the @biotabsf69 method in 5 gal pots, all soil plus 23% perlite just eyeballed it dont know why i'm saying it was that precise lol. mixed in the startrex , added the mykos 3 in the pot and two in the cavity for the root plus, watered with orgatrex and bactrex then used boom boom spray to keep the humidity at around 70 for a day maybe a bit more. got some good pictures of the seedlings in but watered again with plain water 2L on day 3, now the medium is wet and wil likely remain so until late next week . just plain water until week 5 folks dont hold your breath. Just going to be using my special spray, co2 and kelp extract once a week some micro nutres in the spray of my own creation. Enjoy ! VPD .05 - 1.0 finally got it basically right after 3 days

Starting second week, waiting to start LST! Day 10 : Start LST on Girl scout cookies#1 Day 11 : Start LST on Gorilla Glue#1 Day 13 : it's a very hot day, 37^C!

Hey guys ! finaly half/one more week to go, i'll push them into 61 days of flowering The Zake#1 is already done (30% amber), but i have to cut the whole squad since im drying inside the growbox. See you in 1 week for the last half flowering week ✌️ Happy Christmas to everyone

Good week. Careful on the nutrients, have some burn starting. Same nutrients dose as my other Autoflowers but doesn't react the same. Buds starting.

Flowering is on! 🎄🍁

everything is still going great new growth starting to show trying to debate on the veg time due to small pots introduced a slight breeze to strengthen stem

While I was very happy with the grow at harvest time, I am a bit disappointed with only 190 grams total dry weight from these two plants. The buds are nice, dense and packed with tricomes, the smoke is smooth and the high is clear.

🌿 Sour Diesel — Catch-Up Report (Weeks 2.5 → 4 | 12/12 Transition) First — a quick word to everyone following the diary We want to start this update by apologizing for doing a two-and-a-half week report in one go. This is not a change in transparency or process — it’s simply to bring Sour Diesel back in sync with the rest of the room. All plants are evolving under the same tent, same environment, same rhythm. Having one diary lag behind doesn’t serve the journey — so we’re catching her up, cleanly and honestly. Thank you for understanding 💚 ⸻ 🌱 General Behavior & Growth Sour Diesel has been growing beautifully. • Strong, healthy structure • Deep green, lush foliage • No stress signals • Calm, confident growth She transitioned into 12/12 smoothly and is now fully sharing the same rhythm as the rest of the room. ⸻ ✋ Training Response (Week 3) Training started in Week 3, using only: • leaf tucking • gentle leaf bending No aggressive techniques. Her response was excellent. By the end of Week 4: • She became noticeably bushier • Leaves increased in size • Side branches began to push outward and upward • Branch length reached roughly 4–5 fingers, which is perfect for this stage Nothing exaggerated, nothing forced — just natural structure opening up. ⸻ 🌸 Flowering Signals (or lack of — and why that’s okay) Despite being under 12/12: • No visible flowering signs yet • No pistils • No true flip signals This is expected. Why? • She had ~15 days of 18/6 vegetative phase • She’s now completing ~2 weeks of 12/12 • Sour Diesel often hesitates, then commits fully She feels close — almost like she’s thinking about it. We expect clear signs very soon, likely at the start of the next week. Ending this week: ➡️ bushier ➡️ more structured ➡️ clearly preparing ⸻ Nutrition & Autopot Reality (Important Note) She is currently being fed the same vegetative recipe, with one key adjustment. Autopots & organics — the reality Some of the inputs we normally use are organic / biological. These work beautifully with: • some gravity feeding • hand watering • living solutions But they do NOT work well in irrigation systems like Autopots. Why: • Living inputs can settle • Cause build-ups • Create pH fluctuations • Reduce line consistency • “Alive” water doesn’t like being stored or recirculated So for now: What she’s receiving • Plagron Terra Grow only in the Autopot system • EC lowered to 0.8 (instead of 1.0) • Even though NPK is present, we keep EC conservative • No boosters in the reservoir Occasional top feeding Once or twice, when watering the rest of the room: • She received the full recipe via top watering • This is likely how we’ll continue once demand increases Flower will bring higher needs — we’ll adapt when she asks, not before. ⸻ 🌬️ Environment No changes here: • Temperatures stable • Humidity stable • Airflow unchanged Everything remains identical to the rest of the room, so no need to repeat values. ⸻ 👑 What to Expect / What Not to Expect Expect: • A clear flip soon • Stretch after commitment • More expressive structure than some of the others • Increased nutrient demand once flowering starts Do NOT expect: • Instant pistils just because she’s in 12/12 • Heavy defoliation yet • Aggressive feeding right now • Identical behavior to other cultivars Sour Diesel does things her way — and she’s doing them well. ⸻ 🌿 Final Notes She’s healthy. She’s calm. She’s aligned with the room now. This Queen is not late — she’s intentional.

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.

Week 6: Veg – Reset & Silicon Boost 🌿 System-Update: Komplette Reinigung der DWC (35L). Umstellung auf Osmosewasser + CalMag (Base EC 0,45). • pH-Wert: Stabilisiert bei 6.0 (nach anfänglichem Silic-Rock-Jo-Jo). • EC-Wert: Aktuell 1.24 mS/cm (Leicht steigend, Beobachtung läuft). • Wassertemp: Perfekte 18,9°C – 20,3°C. Nutrient Mix (pro 35L): • Plagron Silic Rock: 35 ml (First in!) • Hesi Hydro Wuchs: 175 ml • Hesi Wurzel Complex: 175 ml • Hesi Power Zyme: 70 ml Strain-Check: • AK: Absolut vital, tiefgrün, reagiert sehr gut auf das LST mit den Biege-Clips. Zeigt leichte Adlerkrallen (N-Limit erreicht). • Tuntz Lake Cake: Wurzeln sind da, aber der "Take-off" verzögert sich im Vergleich zur AK. Sie wirkt etwas nährstoffsensibler. Maßnahmen: Lichtabstand leicht vergrößert, um Transpirationsstress ("Canoeing") zu mindern. EC wird durch Zugabe von reinem Osmosewasser leicht gesenkt, um der Tuntz Lake Cake den Start zu erleichtern.

Thank you to everyone for following this journey! The results were nuts. Honestly, I would've been happy with 40g dry as this is my first grow. I DEFINITELY did not expect this outcome which is insane. This gives me so much confidence in my future grows and appreciation for the companies whose products I used. So, now to the point - Dry weight - Top class buds - 176g, smaller buds - 32g, larf/leaves/scissor hash - 26g. To sum up - 208g of product you can smoke and 26g that'll go to edibles. First grow, 2x2 tent, 100w light, three-part fertilizer and cal mag - that's insane, especially because I was expecting nothing more than 60g and like I mentioned, I would've been happy with 40g. I even thought my scale was broken or something went wrong, I still can't believe I pulled 208g of bud. It took 117 days from seed to smoke - that's disregarding the cure. Seed to flower in 42 days. Flower to harvest in 61 days. 14 days drying. Thank you to FastBuds, I've sent them an email about the grow with some questions and got a speedy reply with some pointers towards the end of the flower. Also, I don't have anything to compare this grow with but I had 0 issues with pests which I was really happy about. I didn't have to spray anything on the plants, didn't have a single bug inside the tent. They mention on the website that NL is a very resilient strain so that might've been because of this specific strain. Spiderfarmer light did amazing too - 208g of bud from 100w light!. General Hydroponics did way better than I expected - there's so many companies with multiple bottles of nutrients that expect you to spend ridiculous amounts of money on their products while I got crazy results with just 3 basic bottles. Cal and Mag by Canna worked with no complaints. Takeaways - seems like the runoff pH doesn't matter in coco - I could be wrong but I struggled with coco pH from the very beginning. Regardless, the outcome speaks for itself. Maybe the harvest would've been even better with an optimal pH but in this particular grow, I don't think it mattered much. Before starting this grow I've done A LOT of research and it looks like it most definitely paid off! I was panicking at first because of the slow growth. The plant also had some leaf deformities and the color wasn't as green as I've expected it to be. It was stressful at first, I think especially because I was constantly comparing my grow to someone else's. This specific LST method where I kept rotating the main stem clockwise every day or two paid off as well. The canopy was relatively even and new tops grew crazy fast. The only thing left to do is to cure the bud. I had two 1.5L containers ready for cure/storing since I didn't expect to pull much but had to go acquire a few more "big boys" to fit all the product in, which is a good problem to have. I don't think that I'll be updating the cure here but the plan is to burp 2x/day for 15-30min each time for the first week and 1x/day for 15-30min the second week. After the first couple of weeks I won't be timing the burps. As of now, I've placed boveda 62% packs inside the containers to maintain a RH of at least 58% in the jars. About the Northern Lights strain - the smell hasn't fully returned yet post trim, but it smells like sweet fruits with a hint of black pepper. You can still smell a bit of pine/grass but I think that'll be gone after the cure. Buds are covered with trichomes, they shine like diamonds when you take a better look. Also, the buds look a little airy but are still really dense when pressed. The smoke - It's a tasty, relaxing high. I get why people describe it as night time smoke but for me personally, it grounds me a bit and I can enjoy it anytime. Also, it burns white ash :)) P.S. This is a lengthy diary but I hope that people can learn some stuff from my notes shall they read them! Thanks to everyone that followed the journey, showed support or just browsed through. Happy Growing everyone!

She is developing nicely, haven’t really been doing much to her, other than tucking some leaves away. Comparing her to her mothers diary, she is pretty much on par in terms of flower development, maybe even slightly ahead, as I decreased the light distance much earlier.

Hallo liebe Community Aus Organisatorischen nicht vermeidbaren Gründen war ich nicht vor Ort und daher auch jetzt erst das kurze Update zu der Veg. 4 Woche. Gepflegt hat Sie jemand, der selbst noch nie Cannabis angebaut hat. Die Hilfe weiß ich sehr zu Schätzen und bin mehr als nur dankbar! Es konnte hierzu alles nur telefonisch besprochen werden und aus der Ferne gehandelt. Wachstum Auffallend Hoch, sehr Sativa lastig. Obwohl alle stets die gleich Nahrung erhalten haben, scheint sie etwas Empfindlicher. Das Düngen bei Ihr wurde erst einmal zurückgeschraubt. Leider verarbeitet sie das Wasser momentan nicht so gut. Daher wurde hier die Gießmenge nach unten geschraubt da auch das Wetter arg schlechter wurde. Der stetige Regen zur Zeit, unterstütz mein Vorhaben nicht. Super Microbes 0,4 g/L wurde einmal verabreicht. Viele Grüße an die Community und Kollegen! LueRootsGrowGermany!

Results are starting to come in now, going to be Cake all the way to the end. Time to grab your popcorn and stay tuned in 🤡🎪 Short Phenos is Pure Michigan lean, obvious now with the purple starting to form from bud sites. Tall girl is Sugar Cane Pheno what a stake, huh!? GHL out 🚀
