La 4 semana de crecimiento las niñas están estupendas con un montón de baras y ramas para tofos lados y súper Robustas ya dentro de 1 semana y media entramos en floración señores

At the end of week 8 the BMR is showing signs of further yellowing of the leaves could be the plant has used up all the nutrients in the substrate. The bracts are swelling up and the try chromes and more clear looking like 60%. The lady will continue to receive pure balanced phd water until the end of her bloom cycle!

The fruits become heavier and begin to ripen. The night temperature was set to 20° C The humidity was set to 50%

Hi, the plants are doing great. There's a problem with one GorillaZ that's taking its time to flower, so I moved it to a grow tent under a 12/12 light cycle. I'm keeping a close eye on it because it seems to be photoperiodic. Enjoy the beautiful colors of the Purple Punch.

Welcome the KingBong's first GrowDiary!!🦍🌱 The grow box is still being finished off but I'm happy with results so far. I'll be adding a custom carbon filter In the top corner and also a small intake fan low down... also a door!! This is going to be a fun experiment hopefully you all enjoy ✌️🇬🇧

Strain: LSD auto Age: 52 days from seedling Stage: Flowering General Information: In this grow report, I will share my experience transitioning to organic fertilizers and dealing with salt buildup in my plant, as well as the flowering stage. 1) Transitioning to organic fertilizers: Previously, I had success using mineral fertilizers, but I decided to try organic options for an even more natural and nutrient-rich plant growth. However, during the transition to organic fertilizers, I encountered the issue of salt buildup in the soil. I recognized the problem when I noticed slowed growth and some yellow spots on the leaves. 2) Flushing the plant: To address the salt buildup issue, I decided to flush the plant to remove the excess salts from the soil. Flushing the plant can be done by watering it with a generous amount of clean water, thoroughly rinsing the soil in the pot. This helps to get rid of excess salts that can negatively impact the plant's growth and development. After flushing, I continued to water the plant with only clean water for a few days to allow the soil to recover. 3) Flowering stage: Congratulations on your plant transitioning to the flowering stage! The formation of buds at this time indicates proper development and a healthy state of the plant. It's important to maintain optimal conditions for flowering, including the right lighting, temperature, and humidity. You will also need to ensure the plant receives adequate nutrition, including phosphorus and potassium, to keep it healthy and promote bud development. Overall Conclusion: Transitioning to organic fertilizers can be an exciting step in cannabis cultivation, but sometimes issues like soil salt buildup may arise. It's important to be attentive to signs of nutrient deficiency or excess and take necessary steps to address the problem. For plants in the flowering stage, remember to provide optimal conditions based on their needs. Best of luck with your grow, and I hope your LSD auto plant continues to thrive and give you a bountiful bud harvest! If you have any further questions or need additional information, feel free to ask me!

Put a lot of love into this grow. She grew for 4 months from seeds to harvest. About 5 weeks and 56 days of flower. Overall great strain to grow and great site @growdiaries for giving the platform and help from other growers. I’ve learned so much about growing and especially about this strain.

Chemdogging Downunder mephisto genetics chemdogging 7th January 2020 Hi all , Both the chemdoggies are looking good , The tallest of the two is 56cm 😀 They are also both getting fairly smelly when touched so I'm looking forward to each days development with these two lovely Ladies. Will be feeding all of the flowering plants some "turpene gold" from Professors nutrients This evening and will also be doing twice daily waterings from now on because of a Heatwave we are about to get here which could see temps get up to 50c 😓 Thats Bloody Hot Mate!! Anyway that is all I have to report this week so please take care wherever you are and as always Thanks for stopping by 👍

I am convinced that I've managed to avoid a nitrogen toxicity by monitoring the inputs and the runoff of individual pots. There is only 1 plant remaining whose runoff was 300 above inputs and was showing the curled, too-dark leaves . The plants look happy, yesterday I played some rocking Mozart for them and they loved it! Today Oct 12 (Canadian Thanksgiving almost) is 2nd Day of Week 4 In Bloom and 87Days Old. I defoliated yesterday quite a bit; I've read that this is a no no as it takes energy to repair but I did it anyway, the plants reacted like they appreciated the haircut😶 I'll never know how it affected the buds. The buds are no longer hiding under the foliage as much👍 Took some of these pictures and video with only 1 light on - to try and show their "true" colour. Inputs Temp 20, PH 6.3, EC 1.8 Runoffs 1 Pot 2.1EC, 6 Pots 2.0EC, 4 Pots 1.9EC, 4 Pots 1.8 EC, 1 Pot 1.7EC Oct 16 - 32 Days In Bloom 91 Days -- Fed Again-Inputs: Temp 20, EC 1.8 PH 6.3 Run off: Temp 20, PH 6.3 EC 1.8, 1.9, 2.0 on all pots😊 First time using Enzymes; see if I notice anything. Smell has definitely increased in the last couple of days.😁 I am stoked on how these budlets have developed, the ladies are forming almost textbook style and right on time! (finally from providing proper nutrition and environment). Rails of goodness are starting. This has been the best indoor grow to date .

Looking great going into day 8!!! No nutes just plain tap water!

Slowly getting the potential ready

11/4 Week 6 Light training to get the buds in light and keep her dry. Watered 11/3 one gal @6.5PH - Fish Sh!t 5ml - Karo syrup 5ml Just keeping an eye on her 11/5 Gorgeous smell coming off her purple buds, reminds me of a taffy shop. Drooling over her Growing well got her into the canopy better. 11/7 Update and bragging! Watering/feeding day today, she loved it! She is turning so pretty! The deep purple looks like fairies stole in the night and are using the little brushes to color her leaves. He hairs stand tall! First strain I have seen with them this tall. The smell is sweet with a warmed fruit smell...for those that bake, closest I can come. Still have some questions as if this is a true Runtz. From her coloring and bud development and her leaf shaping she is a good match. Have added some close ups of my lady for anyone out there wanting to take a stab at figuring her out, any info would be welcome. 1 gal 6.5 PH - CalMag 5ml - Fish Sh!t 5ml - Bio_Bloom 5ml

last week putting Ph down aside (this acid is poison haha) and watering with slightly higher Ph 6.7-7.0. Runoff shows 6.6 and it seems that the leaf issues are stabilised or at least I want to believe that 😎🌼 Buds are still nicely stacking but still 4-5 weeks to go - wish her a luck! 🍀 ladybug guest feels the same! 🐞

Room continues to pump out growth. HEat and humidity were an issue this week, but was managed with multiple garden visits and some air diversion. Extremely impresed with all genetics in the garden and there has not been any growth issues to date. 5 weeks complete, another 5 more to smoke. Thanks for following. See GreenMachine's diaries to see how to really grow In House Genetics

This is the week 2! Well, the plant looks really healthy, and she kept growing up, straight to the light! Good to see that even after the strange beginning, with the stem crooked, she recover her path! This week, I'm also planning to start feeding them with some NPK. Just need to read a little bit more about it and buy nutrients. Probably I'll try Canna stuff. Anyone know if it's good?

🌸 White Widow — Week 7 Flower (Week 11 from seed) Status: Full flower, bulking rapidly. Vibe: Dark foliage, compact form, heavy frost, 90s aroma profile. Feeding: Aptus + Plagron lineup (Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation, Regulator, CalMag, All-in-One) Photos: Sony a6000 — loyal workhorse for studio shots. 📷 ⸻ 🧠 Deep dive — Why 12/12-from-seed makes a plant “go hard” Plants evolved to reproduce. Their primary biological drive is to make seeds. Photoperiod (day length) is one of the most reliable seasonal cues plants use to decide: is it time to flower? Mechanisms at play (simple → nerdy): • Photoperiod sensing: Leaves detect day length via phytochrome systems (Pr Pfr). Short days (or the 11/13 rhythm) flip the hormonal cascade toward flowering. • Florigen & flowering hormones: When the plant senses “short days,” it produces mobile signals (florigen) that travel to the shoot apex and shift gene expression from vegetative growth to reproductive development. • Carbohydrate reallocation: Energy stops making more leaves/branches and is directed into calyxes, resin synthesis, terpene pathways, and seed/flower tissues. • Result: A plant that thinks “the season’s ending — reproduce now!” goes all-in: denser flowers, rapid calyx swelling, intense trichome production. Important point: they don’t know about pollination. The plant can’t tell you whether pollinators exist or whether pollen will land — it simply invests in attractive, resinous flowers to maximize reproductive success. As growers, we exploit that drive to produce potent sensimilla (unpollinated) flowers. ⸻ 🔬 Why your White Widow is exploding in quality right now • Immediate reproductive programming: Starting floral signals early (12/12 from seed) forces the plant to prioritize flower formation rather than vegetative mass. That yields compact, dense colas. • High PPFD + short day = strong DLI in less time: With fewer hours of light, your lamp intensity is higher in those hours → powerful photosynthesis during the window the plant has chosen. • Nutrition tuned to flower: the Aptus + Plagron stack feeds the metabolic surge — PK + biostimulators for bulking, sugar stimulators for terpene pathways, Ca/Mg for structural health. • Genetics: White Widow is resin-happy; give it the right cues and it will frost up like a sugar cookie. ⸻ 🌈 Why her colors are going dark (and why that’s beautiful) Leaf & bud color comes from a balance of chlorophyll + accessory pigments (anthocyanins, carotenoids) and is influenced by: • Genetic propensity (some phenos are naturally darker) • Temperature swings (cooler nights often increase anthocyanin expression) • pH / nutrient balance (some deficits/ratios nudge color pathways) • Light spectrum intensity (strong red/far-red influence can shift pigment expression) Dark phenos often correlate with high terpene and anthocyanin expression — visually stunning and often highly aromatic. ⸻ 🔁 Quick timeline recap (for newcomers) • Germination & early mistakes: initial heat-mat loss → restarted, one strong survivor. • Veg: compact, short internodes under the 11/13/12-12 shuttle → stacked nodes. • Early flower: slow to show, but once she flipped she committed. • Now – Week 7 flower (Week 11 from seed): heavy bulking, thick trichomes, deepening color, classic White Widow aroma emerging. ⸻ 🔭 What to expect next (this week → next week) Expect: • Continued bulking of calyxes and cola weight. • Explosion of trichome coverage — white, cloudy glands multiply. • Stronger terpene smell (earthy, spicy, resinous 90s profile). • Possible color intensification — deeper greens, potential purples depending on phenotype & nights. Do not expect: • Major new stretch — she’s committed to flower and will remain compact. • Immediate harvest — typical White Widow still wants its weeks; plan for patience (mid-late flower bulking happens over several more weeks). ⸻ ⚖️ Should you run all seeds 12/12 next cycle? (pros & cons) You asked if you might run every seed 12/12 — here’s the honest rabbit-hole: Pros • Much faster cycle → less time to harvest. • Compact plants → ideal for small spaces or stealth grows. • Often denser single-plant yields; less training needed. • Great for experimentation, multi-strain rapid rotation. Cons • Generally lower total biomass per plant vs. long veg runs. • Some genetics need veg time to express full canopy & branching; yields may be lower for those strains. • Root systems can remain smaller → may stress under high PPFD if not supported. • Less flexible for heavy-topping/lst/manipulation strategies. Bottom line: for strains with good genetics for flowers (like White Widow), 12/12-from-seed can be very rewarding. For sativa-dominant, tall strains you might lose yield without long veg. ⸻ 📷 Gear love — Sony a6000 shoutout I’ve got to echo it: that camera is a workhorse for growers. Compact, responsive, great color fidelity, and perfect for low-light studio shots when paired with proper exposure. The a6000 captures the leaf texture, color depth, and bud gloss in a way phones struggle to match. Long live the loyal shooter. 📸✨ ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude — the usual and the real Thank you to: • Zamnesia — for the genetics & the nostalgia. • Aptus & Plagron — the chemical & biological push that lets the plant sing. • ThinkGrow / Future of Grow / TrolMaster — lighting, control, and environment orchestration. • You — the makers, lovers, critics, curious readers — your energy fuels this diary. And to our White Widow — for showing up, forgiving mistakes, and giving back in beauty. 💚 ⸻ Week 7 flower — Week 11 from seed. Darker colors, heavy frost, the classic 90s scent, and a compact structure that proves 12/12-from-seed can produce absolute fire. We went full-in on Aptus + Plagron, kept the Emerson red-lead sunrise/sunset, and trusted the genetics. Watching her build is pure joy.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all P.S. — Deep dive on DLI (Daily Light Integral) — short, clear, and a little nerdy (in the best way). 🌞🌿 1) What is DLI, simply? DLI = the total amount of photosynthetic light (photons) a plant receives over one day. It’s expressed in moles of photons per square metre per day (mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹). While PPFD (μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹) tells you instantaneous light intensity, DLI tells you how much light the plant actually used that day. ⸻ 2) The formula (how to calculate it) Use this exact formula: text{DLI (mol·m}^{-2}text{·day}^{-1}) = frac{text{PPFD (μmol·m}^{-2}text{·s}^{-1}) times text{seconds of light per day}}{1{,}000{,}000} Where seconds of light per day = hours of light × 3600. I’ll show worked examples so it’s easy to follow. ⸻ 3) Worked examples (digit-by-digit so it’s crystal clear) Example A — your reported PPFD ≈ 766 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ and 11 hours light • seconds of light = 11 × 3600 = 39,600 s • photons per day = 766 × 39,600 = 30,333,600 μmol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ • convert to moles: 30,333,600 ÷ 1,000,000 = 30.3336 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ So: 766 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ × 11 h → DLI ≈ 30.3 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ Example B — same PPFD but 12 hours • seconds = 12 × 3600 = 43,200 • photons = 766 × 43,200 = 33,091,200 • DLI = 33,091,200 ÷ 1,000,000 = 33.0912 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ Example C — other quick refs • 700 μmol × 11 h → DLI ≈ 27.72 • 800 μmol × 11 h → DLI ≈ 31.68 • 400 μmol × 11 h → DLI ≈ 15.84 • 1000 μmol × 12 h → DLI ≈ 43.2 (You can plug any PPFD and hours into the formula — those are ready-made reference points.) ⸻ 4) What DLI targets are useful for cannabis? • Vegetative (gentle): ~12–25 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ • Flower (typical good range): ~25–40 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ — most home/pro growers aim here • High-intensity/CO₂-enriched commercial: 40–60+ mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ (needs CO₂, stronger conditioning) So your example (≈30 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ at ~766 PPFD × 11h) sits very nicely in the flower range. That explains the dense bulking + heavy resin you’re seeing — our DLI is right where White Widow loves to convert energy into flowers. ⸻ 5) Practical implications — what DLI affects and what to watch • Higher DLI → higher photosynthesis → more carbohydrate to drive bud bulking and terpene/trichome production. • Higher DLI requires more water and nutrients. Plants transpire more and pull more minerals; be ready to feed and irrigate appropriately. • Leaf temperature / heat stress: pushing PPFD up increases canopy energy/heat — keep airflow, VPD, and room temps under control. • CO₂ matters: if aiming beyond ~40 mol/day, elevated CO₂ (e.g., 800–1200 ppm) becomes productive; otherwise additional light won’t be used efficiently. • Distribution matters: DLI is an average over the canopy. Hotspots or shaded pockets mean some flowers get too much or too little — even light spread (and PAR mapping) matters. ⸻ 6) Actionable tips for your run (based on your 11/13 / 12/12 experiment) • We’re hitting excellent flower DLI (≈30 mol/day at 766 μmol × 11 h). That’s why buds are dense/frosty — keep the rhythm. • If you shorten hours (e.g., 11 h) keep PPFD high to maintain target DLI. If you lengthen hours (12 h) you can reduce peak PPFD slightly and still hit the same DLI. • If you raise PPFD to chase more DLI, ramp slowly (a few μmol/sec per day) to let stomata and roots acclimate — avoid sudden bleaching. • Watch watering & EC — higher DLI → faster uptake → more frequent but measured feeding. • If you ever push DLI 40 mol/day consider CO₂ enrichment and perfect VPD control to have that extra light used efficiently. ⸻ 7) Quick rules of thumb • Want to hit ~30 mol/day with 11 hours on the clock → aim for roughly 700–800 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹. • Want ~33 mol/day at 12 hours → ~766 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ matches that nicely. • If you see leaf cupping/bleaching, you’ve likely exceeded safe PPFD for that canopy or temps are too high — back off, check VPD.

Defoliation and lst of the four super sour s1 and the 2 peanut butter soufflés as well they are growing great. Flipping to flowering in the next 3-4 weeks

Week 4! We've had some really strong wind and sun here, which I now know is a good thing lol. I love this stage because she's basically in kaleidoscope mode with the leaves. Still no sign of preflowering, but I believe I detect a faint citrusy scent. I was spoiled by starting with Pineapple Expresses, which smell absolutely amazing and then got bamboozled by a Zkittlez that is just so very dank. So I'm happy this one seems to be living up to its name and smells a bit orange-y. I don't know how to add biotabs to the nutrients section on here because it's set up for liquid nutrients I think, but I added two BAC biotabs (https://www.dutch-headshop.eu/bio-tablets-soil-improver-bac-12-pieces) to the soil at 13 days from seed and won't be adding anything else than watering some Bud Candy once she starts to flower. Otherwise, I'm watering the cloth pot when it feels light.
