May 20th and the biggest plant is making a comeback and is looking much better

Hey Friends, I just started my very first grow. Excited to see the outcome, Its a learning process, discovering new things everyday. Plant #2 growing rapidly, seed was very dark compared to others, does that mean something? On day 4 i noticed the leaf turning yellow on the borders, currently only feeding water, will keep an eye on that and do some research on the topic.

Big week! I got my new EarthBoxes and a bunch of goodies. I picked up the Probiotic Farmer's Alliance kit from BuildASoil, so I also got some EM-1, Kashi Blend, dolomite lime and Malibu compost. Alongside that I picked up Colorado Worm Compost (vermicompost), Gnarley Barley (malted barley, corn and hemp) and Craft Blend (aprox 3-5-2 organic mix). Unfortunately there was a bag of soil missing, so I ended up using my own mix though I am somewhat scared of it being too clay-heavy for the SIP. I inoculated with EM-1 and began fermenting a batch of activated EM-1 to make the bottle last longer. It looks about a week from LST, after that I hope to set up a two-tier SCROG setup and begin growing the bushes. I will begin spraying AEM-1/EM-FPE/EM-5 alternatively once a week for IPM, I will try to avoid using neem this round (unless I find this approach lacking). I also brewed a batch of EM-FPE with aloe that smells incredible, I can't wait to give it a go.

Today on day 17 from date of birth Iam preparing a worm casting tea. In a cheese cloth bag ,Made up of 2 cups of worm castings 2 tablespoons of unsulfured molasses,2 tablespoons of mineralized phosphate (bat shit) ,2 tablespoons of soluble seaweed extract . 2 tablespoons of alfalfa meal 2 tablespoons of all purpose 4-4-4 all Gia green products other than. I also sprinkled in some great white premium mycorrhizae inton2 gallons of water. Tea will brew for 24 hours before applying.

Strong initial growth. Had some trouble with the pot being too small and probably overwatering. Lost half the leaves during first weeks of flower but recovered in the end.

Strawberry Gorilla Automatic - FastBuds Day 71 - watered with 1L of RO tap water with defined nutrients, mixed in order and then pHd to 6.3. This will be the last feeding with full nutrients as I now start to prepare her for harvest! Her next feed will include half of the defined nutrient units and then she will have her first flush! 👍🏻 She has taken on a beautiful purple hue on her flower now along with the deep purple on her leaves, this combined with the white and amber of the pistils, and the lime green on the bud sites, really makes her pop and shimmer, shes very beautiful!😍 Her armoa is really starting to come out now too, she smells just like strawberries and candy! Her trichomes are mostly milky with some starting to turn amber, so I'd say another few days and she'll be ready for harvest! I know she wont have a huge yield, but the point of this micro grow, was to find out more about the strain and how what a micro grow could achieve, so no matter the yield, I am super happy with the results so far - to the point where I am planning to have two micro grows in my next grow (TB SkillteZ by Bulldog Seeds & Pineapple Express F1 by Zamnesia)🙌

Great harvest, I was impressed with the quality of this strain. After the drying and curing process, I'll give my feedback! 💪

🌱 Skywalker OG — Week 3 VEG Report 12/12 from seed | Vegetative phase ongoing General Overview Week 3 of vegetative growth ends with Skywalker OG performing exceptionally well. Both plants are growing in near-perfect sync, once again showing that environmental consistency is doing the heavy lifting here. Despite being grown in different containers (plastic pots vs Pro-Mix bags), there is no visible difference in growth rate, structure, or vigor. Rhythm, height, and development remain aligned — true twins in motion. Growth this week has been fast, confident, and clean. Growth & Structure • Stage: Vegetative • Flowering signs: None observed • Node count: ~6 nodes • Growth habit: Compact, fast, very controlled • Internodal spacing: Tight • Leaf development: Large fan leaves, dominant canopy At this stage, Skywalker OG is clearly prioritizing leaf mass and photosynthetic surface over branch elongation. Branches are present but still relatively short compared to leaf size — a classic sign of a plant building energy reserves before structural expansion. There are a few funky leaf expressions here and there — small personality traits rather than problems. Nothing concerning, nothing progressive, and nothing that requires correction. No training has been applied so far. ⸻ Container Comparison — Pot vs Pro-Mix Bag An important observation this week: There is no meaningful difference in growth between the plastic pot and the Pro-Mix bag. Both plants: • Grow at the same pace • Maintain similar height • Express similar leaf size and color This reinforces that, at this stage, root environment is equally supportive in both setups under these conditions. ⸻ Training Outlook While no training has been done yet, Week 3 observations suggest that training may begin next week to encourage lower branch development. The idea is not to force growth, but to: • Balance canopy dominance • Promote lower branch exposure • Prepare structure early and gently For now, observation continues. ⸻ 📸 Photo & Video Documentation This week includes both photos and a short video captured during the photo session. During the session, content from My Cheap Home Grow was playing in the background — a YouTube channel focused on home growing, sharing practical experience, open discussion, and solid grow knowledge. It’s a great resource with: • Passionate growers • Real-world setups • Honest learning environments If you’re into growing and learning from others, it’s definitely worth checking out. https://www.youtube.com/@cheaphomegrow7096 ⸻ Environment — Room Conditions (Week 3) • Photoperiod: 12/12 from seed • Day temperature: ~26 °C • Night temperature: ~18 °C • Relative Humidity: 60–65% • VPD: In optimal vegetative range • Airflow: Gentle, constant, non-stressful • Solution temperature: ~21 °C • Substrate temperature: ~21 °C Environmental stability remains consistent across the room. ⸻ 💡 Lighting • PPFD: ~600–700 (adjusted to plant size) • Plants continue to grow naturally into the light • No stretch, no light stress ⸻ 💧 Watering & Nutrition • pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.0 Nutrient program: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal Foliar: • Vita Race • Used selectively and intentionally Nutrition continues to support strong vegetative growth, lush color, and clean metabolism. ⸻ 🔍 What to Expect / What Not to Expect (Next Week) What to expect: • Continued vegetative expansion • Larger fan leaves • Potential start of gentle training • Increased lower-branch response once canopy opens What not to expect (yet): • No flowering initiation • No stretch explosion • No need to increase EC or push inputs Patience and observation remain the focus. ⸻ Final Thoughts Skywalker OG closes Week 3 as fast, lush, and confident. Tight internodes, big leaves, and twin-like behavior across different containers confirm that conditions are dialed in and the plants are comfortable. No rush. No force. Just strong foundations being built.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! 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.

Nothing much to report apart from the buds are filling out, there are bud sites all over the plant so if they all manage to fill out well its going to be quite a crop! Watering about twice a week, other than the slightest leaf tip burn this plant is showing no bad signs. Smell is subtle but the buds are starting to get sticky now.

Start week 8 , Bio Bloom 4 ml/L + Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra 2 ml/L + CarboLoad 2 ml/L + Top Max 4 ml/L (Ph 6.7).

Week 5 of the reveg. And no more than 1 week left to launch!👍. They’ve all taken off over the last week with the boogie nights finally bursting into mature veg. Same goes for the Blueberry which has been the slowest to date. They’ll need the rest of the week for sure. Funny thing is that it’s starting to look like this reveg. Run was unnecessary. The mothers have recovered from the light cycle disaster and are now looking like budding winners once more. I’m too far in to this run to pull the plug now which is frustrating. We’re anxious to get into a few reg. Seeds next cycle for another pollen collection so this has slowed the sched. Considerably. Despite such it’s been a great test for the dutchy system and our new nute line from Druid Nutrients. I don’t shout out shit unless it’s truly doing something good and Druid is proving a remarkable component. No issues or deficiencies. Even with one particular strain (the Skywalker) where a calmag def. was expected to be a certainty. U folks keep up the good work👍. Not long now y’all - think we’re gonna have some more untameable monsters🤟🤟🤟👌. Background This ones tied to part 2 of the pollen chuck. They were supposed to be a clone run for pollination but the mothers all reveg’d due to a timer incident and high stupidity. These will be the inaugural flowering run of the revamped dutchy system. Growing made easy😉. Shit ton of finagling and setup but once she’s ready - sit back, relax and watch em grow😍😎. Thanks for take’n a look.

Tag 23: sieht supi aus . Tag 24: die spitzen sind etwas gelb , scheint das ich doch zuviel Urgesteinsmehl genommen hab . Tag 25: + Dünger + + 2.0 Flaschenwasser + + + Rhizotonic + + + Terra Vega + + + Cannazym + + + BioEnhancer + final PH 6.1 Tag 27: Luftfeuchte ist so bei 68% und Temp so bei 24°C . Auf das der Topf durchwurzelt wird . Wachstum ist gut . Wird aber noch besser , die Pflanze hat sich an den Dünger gewöhnt .

Tenth week of flowering started. I went out a week and at my return I discovered that the #2 is sick. The plant doesn't drink anymore and a lot of branches are falling down with limp leaves. I think that the missing defoliation, the height and the poor ventilation caused that. At the moment I removed her from the tent moving her out to the balcony. I did a huge defoliation to the #1 and a massive LST in order to low the height of buds that reached the lamp that is at its maximum height. So far I gave to the plant only water. I think that the cause of plant disease is the high humidity level (at least 90%...). Tomorrow I will buy a dehumidifier hoping that this will help the remaining plant. D63: changed the water into the pot. Added 15 ml grow, 30ml micro and 40ml bloom. [email protected] EC 1.2 D64: after the defoliation the plant seems to be healthy. The humidity into the tent is still high, tomorrow I will install the dehumidifier. D65: I've put a dehumidifier into the tent, I've added 3 liters of tap water to the pot; the plant is drinking a lot so I think that she is fine. The plants produces a lot of fat buds, so I've checked the trichomes for the first time, they are clear for the majority. D67: added 5 liters of tap water to the pot. The plant is drinking a lot

Diese Woche haben sich die Pflanzen von der Entlaubung der letzten Woche erholen dürfen, nach drei Tagen (die ersten drei Bilder) haben sie schon wieder einiges an Blattwerk zulegen können. Des Weiteren ist die Woche nicht viel passiert, ausser dass ich die Bodenfläche zurückgewonnen habe und endlich einen Umluftventilator zum clippen kaufen konnte. Ach und zum Ende der zweiten Blütewoche habe ich einen Komposttee gemacht, den sie am Samstag Abend bekommen haben. Ich hätte schon früher gerne den Tee gemacht, aber ich musste auch hier erstmal alle Sachen kaufen, da ich leider wieder komplett von Null beginnen musste.

Hey everyone :-). Today is the flowering day 56 since the time change to 12/12 h. Both phenotypes continue to develop great 😍. The flowers are getting thicker and thicker and are slowly but surely coming to an end 😄. They smell extremely tasty 😍. On the leaves you can clearly see that it is slowly consuming its last nutrients :-). Next week the trichomes will be checked and then a decision will be made when and how they are rinsed :-). It was poured 3 times this week per pot with 1.2 l. The tent was cleaned and the humidifier refilled :-). Otherwise there is nothing to report this week and I wish you a lot of fun with the update 🙏🏻. Stay healthy and let it grow 😄 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/cream-caramel/ Type: Cream Caramel ☝️🏼 Genetics: Blue Black x Maple Leaf Indica x White Rhino 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Peyote slowed down a bit, Broke a couple mains like a tool while doing some Lst bending. But she is moving along again. White widow is kicking ass and just going nicely. Great flower development all over her.. Blacksugar small but still moving slow with that tight pinch in the lower trunk. But the ladies are healthy and happy so I’m happy. Gonna start germinating orange creamsicle soon to follow these up.

Week 18 Middle August : weather is changing. Return of heat and humidity: 28 degrees, a little bit rain. A heat wave is coming but near the ocean the maximum will be around 32 degrees. It’s good to grow in greenhouse during this period : -ventilation control: I adapted the rythme: for now it’s around 18h/24h intermittently -pests and diseases control: insect’s traps natural and artificial, less heat -humidity control: no rain problem Daylight 14h: 7h/21h Flowering time 😁. Healthy plant, beautiful green color, just a few yellow leaves on the base. More watering: 1,5L every 60 hours Same cocktail: Calmag (0,5ml/L)+ FloraGro (2ml/L), FloraMicro (2ml/L), FloraBloom (1ml/L) + Root booster + Cannazym Feeding soil with guano bat (NPK 3/6/10) for a slow dispersion + dried horn and blood (NOK 13/0/0) for nitrogen add. Protecting plant: sprayed Neem Oil, added diatomaceous earth on soil. I will make a defoliation soon.

Still in the HPS tent but now they are under the LED again and doing pretty well as the roots are filling the pots out they are eating faster. Did a couple foliar feeds with the Growzyme at less than 1 ML/Gal which they seem to like. Hoping to get a little more vertical growth before they kick into flower. Also been doing some bottom feeding which I have been experimenting with a little bit. It seems to increase rate of growth and the plants seem a little happier when I do a few feeds like that in a row.
