Week 10 – Day 70 / FLO 42 🌞 Temp: 25°C 💦 RH: 55% 💥 PPFD: 700 µmol 🌬️ VPD: 1.5 ⚡ EC: 0.9 💦 H2O: 1000ml/24h Braccoli is still drinking 1L of water daily, which is impressive considering it's in just a 7L pot. The dry weather outside is working in my favor, allowing me to bring down humidity to as low as 50%, creating perfect conditions for resin production. thx for likes comments see you next week 👊

🌿 Amnesia Skunk Auto — Week 10 From Seed (Week 6 Flower) 🔄 Quick Recap — How We Got Here For anyone just joining us, welcome 🤝 This run has been 12/12 from seed, building structure early and transitioning naturally into flower without interruption. What we are seeing now is the result of consistency over intervention — letting the plant express while guiding environment and inputs with intention. Last week marked an important moment: 👉 minimal intervention until now… 👉 and then, a necessary defoliation to rebalance the canopy We’re now entering a phase where the plant is no longer building — it’s refining, stacking, and expressing fully. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment — Dialed for Transpiration & Expression • Temperature: 26°C • Humidity: 60% • CO₂: ~1000 ppm This combination is not random — it’s intentional. At this stage, we are pushing leaf surface activity (leaf VPD / EPD balance) to keep: • stomata open • transpiration active • nutrient flow constant This is why these plants are drinking ~1.8L per day in 14.5L soil. 👉 That’s not just “thirsty” — that’s a fully active metabolic system. When a plant drinks like this: • roots are oxygenated • nutrients are moving • photosynthesis is running efficiently This is exactly what we want in mid-flower. ⸻ 💡 Light Strategy — Full Canopy Activation We are currently running: • Top lighting • Inner canopy lighting • Under-canopy lighting All LED. PPFD varies between 800–1500, depending on plant height. This variation is intentional. Taller tops receive higher intensity, while lower zones are supported from within and below — ensuring: • no dead zones • active lower bud sites • balanced energy distribution 👉 The result: the entire plant is working, not just the top Airflow across all layers keeps: • heat pockets controlled • humidity consistent • gas exchange efficient The room is not just lit — it’s breathing. ⸻ 🌿 Structure & Canopy — Controlled Chaos These girls are… big. Not plants — bushes. Dense, wide, expressive. Until now, we kept a low-touch approach. But this week, it was time. ✂️ Defoliation We removed a significant amount of foliage. Some will say: • too much others: • not enough I say: necessary. What we targeted: • blocked light paths • restricted airflow zones • overlapping leaves with no functional contribution What we kept: • active fans driving transpiration • structurally important leaves • balanced energy zones 👉 The goal was not to strip — it was to open the plant. ⸻ ⚠️ Observations — Minor LED Stress During defoliation, we noticed: • minor bruising / light stress on some branches Nothing major, but worth noting. Likely cause: • proximity to high PPFD zones At this stage: • plants are more resilient • but also more demanding We’ll monitor closely, but no current signs of impact on flower development. ⸻ ❄️ Frost Development — Outstanding Trichome production is already impressive for this stage. Why this is happening: • High metabolic activity (drinking + transpiration) • Strong, stable environment • Balanced nutrition • Full light exposure across the plant 👉 Trichomes are not just genetics — they are a response to environment + energy availability What this means: • strong resin potential • terpene development on track • good signs for final quality ⸻ Nutrition — Feeding the Engine Current feed (~EC 2.0 / pH 6.5): • Terra Bloom → Core flowering nutrition (PK-driven development) • Green Sensation → Flower density + metabolic boost • Sugar Royal → Carbon allocation + terpene precursor support • Pure Zym → Root zone enzyme activity, breaking down dead matter • Power Roots → Continued root stimulation (yes, even now — keep the engine alive) • CalMag Pro → Buffering + stability under LED intensity ⚖️ pH Control • Down: Lemon Kick • Up: pH Plus 👉 All inputs aligned and consistent — no chaos in the root zone. Why this matters now: At this stage: • plant demand is high • transport systems must stay clean • energy must be directed to flowers This feeding strategy supports: • uptake efficiency • terpene expression • structural flower development ⸻ 🌬️ Airflow & Room Dynamics With this level of density, airflow becomes non-negotiable. We are maintaining: • constant air movement through canopy • no stagnant zones • balanced humidity across layers This was one of the main reasons for defoliation. 👉 Light feeds the plant 👉 Air keeps it alive ⸻ 👃 Aroma — Loud Already For this stage… these girls are loud. This early terpene expression usually indicates: • strong genetic potential • healthy metabolic state • proper environmental conditions ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (Week 7 Flower) We are entering the phase of: • bud stacking • density increase • trichome expansion What to expect: • visible swelling of bud sites • increased resin coverage • stronger aromas What not to expect: • explosive vertical growth (stretch is mostly done) • major structural changes Now it’s about refinement, not expansion. ⸻ 🤝 Final Words — Gratitude To everyone here: • the OGs • the new growers • the silent watchers • the commenters • the skeptics • the supporters • the ones showing love here • and the ones talking with us across platforms Thank you.

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.

Mandarin XL auto is making progress. She got a solution change yesterday, and is just getting acclimated to it. She also got some lst and defoliation today. I will likely neem oil spray her again to ensure I got any pest that have been about. I have not seen any on any plants. It's better safe before sorry going into flowering. Thank you Medic Grow, Gen1:11, and Ganja Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

been a slow week i think. had a problem with my power going out for 8-9 hours sunday (rcd tripped) before i opened the tent to 98% rh and water covering the leaves but turned all my fans up and it dried quick so all is good now UPDATE: done some defoliation to get more light through, lets see how that goes

------GENERAL COMMENT------ This week was very flat and steady, girls are growing very well and leafs got sharper. They have got a new defoliation session, and a bit of supper cropping to make steams stronger. Nothing fancy, just training to an even or more even canopy. ------GG.AK47 COMMENT------ Girl is growing with intensity, shooting various bud spots, i'm having a very good feeling about the outcome from her! Tips are a bit lighter, nothing to get overwhelm.

60x60x120cm tent. Basic cheap one not sure what brand, if any. 200w CFL for veg, and a 250w HPS for bloom. Gonna continue with biobizz and maybe a couple of other supplements later down the road. Soil is biobizz allmix. Says pH ready so no need to adjust. Hopefully that's right!

Sunday, 28-08-2022 Stretching up and out and looking good. Top-dressed midweek with 100 ml EM Bokashi Bran. Foliar sprayed yesterday with The Amazing Doctor Zymes Eliminator(TADZE). Plants continue to seem pest free since starting to use TADZE. Only one midweek feed due to pots being saturated with rain on previous weekend. Supplemented feed today with Beneficial Booster comprised of 50 ml molasses, 125 ml EMAS and 15+ ml~ Recharge in 12 litres stored rain water with the molasses diluted in 950 ml filtered tap water, rain water EC=0~, final EC 1.7.

Im really impressed with this grow, No issues to report, everything looks amazing Defoliated lots of the lower growth and bigger leaves .. buds are starting to really dense up and are looking beautiful.. Plants drinking 1l of water each day Back on a feed/ water schedule With nuts @ 75% strength Smell is getting stronger day by day ... Clone are also rooted and transplanted and in the little cloning tent ... Made big changes to the lights .. No more mars hydro .. not that i wasn't happy with them , i really did like them .. But got a amazing deal on this new light by eco farms 800w spider bar(STG-800W-D2) ... wow this light is really bright! .. Its drawing lots more power then my mars 2x1000 and 2x600 Hoping to get more dense nugs with this light although im about half way done ... Time will tell and i will review this light after my next grow

SO UPDATE GANG!!!! Everything is going well so far, i stocked up on water for the girls nutrients are doing well but im going to upgrade them to the FOOP line of OMRI nutes other then that will keep everyone updated so far thanks!

Hello Growmies, Two weeks into vegetation, our Watermelon Candy by Zamnesia is striking a fine figure in the grow tent. Each plant has achieved a notable height of 14 cm, an impressive feat for their age, suggesting that they are well on their way to becoming vigorous and bushy specimens. The uniformity observed in the first week continues to be a defining trait of the Watermelon Candy strain. These plants, with their symmetrical leaf structure and consistent growth patterns, are reflecting their strong genetic lineage. The lush green leaves and the tautness of the stems speak volumes about the care they've received. Their transplant into the 12.5-liter air-pots, coupled with the application of Great White during the process, has provided them with a fertile foundation for root development. This mycorrhizal support will surely bolster their ability to uptake water and nutrients efficiently, setting them up for success in the coming weeks. The controlled environment, with precise management of temperature and humidity, continues to foster their growth. With the lights dimmed to 25% and delivering 150-180 PPFD, the plants are receiving the perfect amount of energy to thrive without the stress of overexposure. The IR lighting before lights on and off, along with the midday UV light exposure, is fine-tuning their growth cycles and boosting their natural defenses. Once the inline fan is connected and operational, you'll have complete control over the tent's environment, enhancing dehumidification during the night and ensuring optimal conditions 24/7. It's this attention to detail and environment that is paving the way for these Watermelon Candy plants to flourish. Stay lifted, Salokin.

Good week. A little more sun, summer is definitely Here. No big stretch but that’s expected and wanted with the topping. She’s growing very bushy, might have to remove some leaves soon. Planted basil around her and it survived and is strong. Read that basil increases terps. I’m enjoying the leaves.

Harvested on day 94 / flowering 61 21 Grams of buds after manicure and drying. ------------------------------------------------------------ 🎪Harvest report in my 1M² box with 16 plants (5 strains): Total 291 grams of dry, manicured buds. I set myself a goal of at least 300 grams. So I'm not entirely satisfied on this point. I think in the next grow I will use other techniques , like LST, topping and larger pots to try to improve my yield!✌️☮️ ------------------------------------------------------------ 🔥❄️Drying : In my 1M² box 8 Days in the dark Temperature : 14-18°C Humidity : 50-75% Extractor+ carbon filter ON 24/24h ------------------------------------------------------------ 📜Links : 🌱Zamnesia Gelato seeds : https://www.zamnesia.fr/5671-zamnesia-seeds-gelato-feminisee.html Food for your plants 🔥🔥👍 https://www.greenhousefeeding.com/ 👨‍🚀My Instagram 🌱❤️️: https://www.instagram.com/hou_stone420/ --------------------------------- ☮️Thanks for your visit ! 💚☮️

First week under the Lumatek 600 Pro set to 50% and aporox 40cm away from canopy. Day 7 applied some pruning and supercropped the few taller girls to even out the canopy. I will add a CO2 bag next week as i increase the power to avoid potential light stress.
