03/23/25: I’m very pleased with the progression of this grow so far. All five plants are showing consistent and vigorous growth, and each one has maintained the same level of vigor and size relative to the others since sprouting. This consistency is a good early sign of genetic stability and uniform structure, which will help with canopy management as we move further into veg. At this point, each plant is developing its 4th and 5th nodes, which is a key marker in early vegetative growth. Once the 5th node is fully established, I’ll consider topping or training, depending on the growth structure and the phenotype expression of each plant. After removing the humidity domes last week, I noticed that the first set of true leaves—which had been sitting in high humidity—developed browning on the edges. This is a common reaction when leaves are exposed to open air after having retained too much surface moisture. Fortunately, this issue was limited to the oldest leaf set. All new growth has adjusted perfectly to the environment inside the tent, showing healthy development and no further signs of stress. The plants’ deep green color indicates that they are receiving sufficient nitrogen, which is essential during this stage of growth. Additionally, some of the larger fan leaves are beginning to curl slightly inward, which may look concerning at first, but is actually a natural response to airflow. The plants are adjusting to the oscillating fan in the tent—modifying their leaf shape to be more aerodynamic. This airflow helps: • Strengthen stem tissue through gentle mechanical stress • Promote root zone development as the plant adjusts its internal resource allocation • Increase resilience to environmental fluctuations So far, no roots are visible at the bottom of the starter pots, but I expect them to show in the next couple of days. As soon as they do, I’ll transplant each plant into 1-gallon AirPots. AirPots encourage rapid root pruning and horizontal expansion, which leads to more efficient nutrient uptake and a healthier root system. Once the transplant into AirPots is complete, I’ll provide a full update along with new photos showing their root development, new environment, and how they respond post-transplant. Everything is looking on track, and I’m excited to see how each of these phenotypes continues to express themselves over the next phase. 03/25/25: Today I relocated all five plants from the 2x2 seedling tent into their permanent home: the 4x4 AC Infinity grow tent. This is an important environmental shift, so I’m allowing the plants some time to adjust before making any further changes like transplanting. They’re now sitting under the AC Infinity S44 grow light, which is currently set to 20% power. The light is positioned 24 inches (approximately 61 cm) above the canopy. According to my budget PAR meter, the plants are receiving around 350 PPFD, which is a safe and effective intensity for young vegging plants still acclimating to their new space. Although the original plan was to transplant them into 1-gallon AirPots around this time, I’ve decided to delay that by a couple of days. Environmental shifts—like new lighting, airflow patterns, and spatial layout—can stress young plants, so I want to give them time to adjust before introducing transplant stress. This move also gave me a chance to set up the AC Infinity AI+ Controller, which I won in a contest last year (huge thanks to AC Infinity). So far, my first impressions are positive: • Setup was just as smooth as their other controllers. • It’s already doing a great job managing the environment passively. • I haven’t explored all of its automation features yet, but I’m excited to see how much precision it can offer, especially for managing VPD and dialing in climate conditions throughout veg and flower. Once the plants have had time to settle into the new environment, I’ll transplant them into their 1-gallon AirPots and provide a full update with photos.

Day 21 - 710 Diesel Auto This plant is a fast grower. The 4 lower nodes are stretching out into branches and in a few days I’ll pin them down with 6” garden staples. All new growth looks free of burns so I’m going to start feeding again. I'm learning I don't need to keep my humidifier on 24/7 so I just run it when needed and I keep my exhaust fan off to retain high humidity. My grow tent is a little warm but I think it's worth it for the high humidity while in early growth. Technique: Topped her on day 18 with no issues. Light: Platinum LED P300 set to veg mode @ 20" above plant providing about ~28,000 LUX Watering/Nutrients: plain RO water Environment: 4x2 Grow Tent. Temps low of 68 - high of 91 with RH of 80% Soil: ~6 gallons of Foxfarm Ocean Forest w/ 4 extra quarts of perlite added. If you see anywhere that you think I can improve please drop a comment – thanks for reading

I don't know what I done 😕.. But she started flowering already 🙄.. I mean it's not like I'm not happy about that..I just wanted to pack on more size.. But hopefully that will happen in the remaining weeks ahead.

We have 2 weeks under our belt and now we're charging into week. So far each day I can see more new growth which is encouraging. With a few more nodes in the next day or so I'll look at topping. Cheers til next time -Dj Sunstone

Week 14 for Gigi! Six weeks of flowering. Ok now we are talking! Buds are fattening up and trichomes are starting to get very milky, I want to try to take a picture of them really close but I don't know how. If someone in the community knows some good instruments for taking trichomes pictures please let me know. 🙏 However, Gigi is doing well and I think I'll flush her in two weeks or maybe the next week, we'll see. Day 92: watering with all nutrients. She drinks a lot, almost 2 lt every 2 day. Day 95: some leaves are turning yellow, I think maybe I've overfert her or it's just a ph issue. I need to check it. Day 98: watered with only pure zym and a little silica. Cutted some leaves. See ya next week guys!

So I made a totally noob mistake. I can't believe I didn't think about how fast the males would spread pollen. I was still trying to figure out which male I wanted to use for selective pollination on a specific branch. So I pulled the males and I'm attempting to collect pollen using a trim tray screen. Its working quite well and I'll make a video with that as well. I'm not even sure if it's viable or if my attempt and mistake of leaving the males too long will work. So anyways I realize now how delicate it is to have males. They start popping fairly quickly. Come check out my YouTube y'all

Wochenupdate – Tag 91 | Blüte Tag 31 🌱 Allgemeiner Eindruck Der Grow läuft insgesamt noch stabil, aber man sieht inzwischen recht deutlich, dass die Pflanzen in den letzten Tagen am Limit gefahren sind. Der Blütenaufbau geht weiter voran, der Geruch wird intensiver und die Kush zeigt ordentlich Harz, gleichzeitig zeigen beide Pflanzen sichtbare Calcium- und allgemeine Nährstofftransportprobleme, die klar auf das Klima zurückzuführen sind. Das war für die Blümchen spürbar Stress. 🌡️ Klima & VPD Durch trockene Winter- und Heizungsluft kam es zeitweise zu sehr hohen VPD-Werten (teils im Bereich 1,7–1,9), vor allem morgens – klassisch morgens Sahara, mittags Treibhaus. In dieser Phase stand mein Luftbefeuchter noch bei einer anderen Pflanze. Er ist inzwischen wieder im Blütezelt, wodurch sich das Klima deutlich beruhigt hat. Die aktuellen Symptome zeigen gut, dass der Nährstoff- und Calciumtransport unter dem hohen VPD schlicht eingebrochen war. Nährstoffe & Maßnahmen CalMag wurde ordentlich erhöht, um die Calcium-Verfügbarkeit abzusichern. Zusätzlich wurden Mikroben gegeben, um das System wieder besser ins Arbeiten zu bringen. Bio-Bloom wurde ganz dezent nachgeschoben. Durch das ungünstige VPD haben die Pflanzen zeitweise nicht sauber getrunken, was den Transport zusätzlich ausgebremst hat. Seit der Entlaubung an BT21 ist der Wasserverbrauch sowieso etwas geringer. Jetzt heißt es: abwarten, wirken lassen, Geduld üben 🐛 Schädlingslage Trauermücken gehen dank Nematoden langsam zurück. Trips sind weiterhin präsent, daher gab es nochmals Raubmilben sowie Florfliegenlarven zur Regulierung. ✅ Fazit Insgesamt bin ich weiter zuversichtlich. Der Stretch ist eingefangen, die Richtung stimmt, auch wenn das Klima kurz deutlich zu hart war. Jetzt geht es darum, das Setup stabil zu halten und den Pflanzen Zeit zu geben, sich wieder sauber einzupendeln. Draußen Winter, drinnen Blüte. Allen eine gute Woche. 🌱 RockoCalenberg Weekly Update – Day 91 | Flower Day 31 🌱 Overall Impression Overall the grow is still running stable, but it’s now quite clear that the plants have been pushed close to their limit over the last days. Bud development is progressing, the smell keeps getting stronger and the Kush is showing plenty of resin. At the same time, both plants show visible calcium and general nutrient transport issues, clearly linked to the climate. This phase definitely caused some stress. 🌡️ Climate & VPD Due to dry winter air and heating, VPD levels were temporarily very high (partly around 1.7–1.9), especially in the mornings – classic Sahara in the morning, greenhouse at noon. During that time, the humidifier was still running with another plant. It has since been moved back into the flower tent, which helped calm and stabilize the climate again. The current symptoms clearly show that nutrient and calcium transport was simply maxed out under those high VPD conditions – this wasn’t just isolated spots, but visible overall. Nutrients & Actions CalMag was increased properly to secure calcium availability. In addition, microbes were applied to help the system get back into balance. Bio-Bloom was topped up very lightly. Because of the unfavorable VPD, the plants were not drinking cleanly at times, which further limited nutrient transport. Since the defoliation at FD21, overall water uptake has been slightly lower and is being taken into account. For now it’s about waiting and letting things work, without further interventions. 🐛 Pest Situation Fungus gnats are slowly declining thanks to nematodes. Thrips are still present, so another round of predatory mites was added, along with lacewing larvae for additional control. ✅ Conclusion Overall I’m still confident. Stretch is under control and the direction is right, even though the climate was clearly too harsh for a short period. Now it’s about keeping everything stable and giving the plants time to settle back in. Winter outside, flowering inside. Wishing everyone a good week. 🌱 RockoCalenberg

The yield this run was just amazing, the VIPARSPECTRA XS-2000 performed very well, they run so cool, it's just crazy, you can set the lights about 10 inches from your plants at 70% without fear of burning them, sweet seed cream mandarin auto al, always yields very well, this harvest was even better, largest amount from any Auto Flowers yet, I know that you folks that grow DWC can push it a bit better but when grown in the soil the terpenes and flavors seem to be a click better in my opinion. If you have not tried these seeds you just have to, you will not be disappointed!

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Harvest day 71 since the time change to 12/12 hrs. Hey guys :-) Finally the time has come . The lady was harvested. After the trichomes have been checked (70% milky 30% amber) as always, it was left in complete darkness for 48 hours before it was neatly trimmed by hand. After trimming, she was put back in the drying tent on nets. There they are allowed to dry for the next 8-12 days at 62% humidity before they are put into the jar to ferment with 62% boveda packs. After about 4-6 weeks in the jar I will swap the 62% boveda pack for a 58% boveda pack where it can be ready for another 4-6 weeks to enjoy :-). As always, the remains of the leaves are used to make Ice o Lator and oil. Of course, as always, there is a final update during the fermentation process. Until then, I wish you all a lot of fun with this update. Stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 👍.

Week 8 of flower Well this plant is really filling out. I definitely roasted the edges of the her fan leaves but she is still chugging along nicely. She should start to ripen up in the next couple of weeks. 😎😎
