Just about ready for harvest. Middle of this week will be 9 weeks of flower. I think they still need just a few more days. I had a chance to sample some nuggage I've trimmed in the past week or two and it's really got my excitement through the roof Happy with the way they look overall. Buds could be a bit bigger but can't really complain for my first grow. Have had issues with humidity and temp all winter. Apartment is too drafty for hvac to keep up. Not to mention the issue with the power loss a few weeks ago. Really just happy that it worked lol... looking forward to spring / summer If I'm being completely honest, the tent smells like literal dogshit when I unzip it. But if i rub a sugar leaf between two fingers it smells like DANK. Very strong piney smell which I'm pleased with lol. The smell has emanated from the tent the past two weeks or so. Carbon filter has had trouble the scent is kind of overpowering Can't keep my eyes off plant C; literally dripping in trichomes. It might be the smallest but it's the prettiest for sure. Check out the video. Plant D has the most bud mass. Over the past few weeks I've been trimming away some of the lower bud sites and fan leaves along with some of the dying fan leaves. This is plants second week without nutes so as expected leaves are starting to turn darker in color. Likely will cut out water for a couple days right before cutting

Found some issues with reducing the CalMag. A couple phenos stated to fade and show red spotting on lower leaves. I went back up to 2ml of calmag and will see if that helps. The smells coming out of the tent are very pleasant. Very citrus in nature with pine undertones. At the beginning of this week I have noticed hairs are starting to turn brown. The plan is to harvest at Day 70. I will flush with ph water around day 60. I am hoping for some plumping up coming in the next couple weeks as most phenos stayed lighter than expected.

Week 2 Flower – Roller Coster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Full Bloom Ahead The girls aren’t just entering flower — they’ve rocketed into it. From what seemed like a short transition, they’ve gone full throttle: pistils shooting, buds forming, leaves praying, and roots bursting through the medium. ⸻ Growth Update – No Pre-Flower, Just Boom This week marked an unusually fast shift: • Visible Pistils Everywhere – no gradual pre-flower here; instant bloom mode. • Budlets Forming – early structures already showing stacking tendencies. • Stems & Roots – while not the thickest stalks, the root zone is bursting with vitality, visibly surfacing in some areas of the soil. • Canopy Size – they’ve outgrown the closet! Photos this week stay inside the tent, it’s just not safe to move these ladies anymore. ⸻ Irrigation Upgrade – Semi-Auto in Motion With the room expanding and multiple genetics running, it’s time to make watering smarter: • Semi-Automatic Irrigation Installed – currently set up to water 8 plants. • Not Fully Automated Yet – still manually monitoring and hand-watering other genetics in the room. • The goal is precision without full delegation — a hybrid system offering consistency + control. This is how smart growers scale: one foot in tech, one foot in the soil. 🌱 ⸻ Red Spectrum Timing – Emerson Effect in Action Let’s dive into light science, because this week, you’ve implemented something most growers don’t even think about: ☀️ What is the Emerson Effect? Discovered by Robert Emerson in the 1950s, the Emerson Effect is the phenomenon where plants photosynthesize more efficiently when exposed to both red (660nm) and far-red (730nm) light simultaneously. Even better? Far-red at the start and end of the day manipulates the plant’s internal clock, promoting faster flowering and shorter day-length response. 🔴 Your Implementation: • 15 minutes of red/far-red spectrum • Before lights-on (simulating dawn) • After lights-off (simulating dusk) This technique: • Promotes faster flowering initiation • Enhances flower site expression • Helps with sleep/wake cycle regulation Well played — this is next-level light manipulation. 🌕 ⸻ AC Implementation – Heat Down, VPD Back in Range The much-needed air conditioner has arrived, and it’s already proving itself: • Old Temps: ~31°C • New Temps: 28.8°C • Humidity: 66.6% • VPD: 1.33 kPa (much more ideal for flower initiation) While it’s still a warm tent, the VPD is now in the sweet spot, allowing for strong transpiration, nutrient uptake, and healthy gas exchange. The girls are clearly responding beautifully. ⸻ Nutrient Addition – Plagron Sugar Royal This week we’ve added Plagron Sugar Royal at 1ml/L to our Aptus regimen. What is Sugar Royal? Despite the name, it contains no actual sugar. Instead, it includes: • Amino acids – which help the plant produce more chlorophyll and essential oils • Biostimulants – supporting stress resistance, enzyme activity, and resin production Why now? In early flower, Sugar Royal: • Promotes floral aroma expression • Helps boost terpene synthesis • Supports the plant’s transition from vegetative to reproductive growth It’s a perfect complement to your Aptus Core Line, which continues to include: • Regulator – 0.25 ml/L • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L • Top Booster – 0.2 ml/L • Now: Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⸻ Looking Ahead – Stretching Toward the Sky With such aggressive early flowering and the canopy rapidly expanding, it’s hard to say if you’ll be able to move them for next week’s photo shoot, and that’s okay. If we’ve learned one thing from this strain, it’s that she moves at her own thrilling pace. Expect: • Continued vertical stretch (still likely to gain 30-50% more height) • Strong bud stacking at internodes • Early terpene and trichome formation in the next 7–10 days Your setup is dialed. Your environment is stabilizing. And your knowledge is putting these girls in the best hands possible. ⸻ 🌱 Week 2 Flower Summary – Roller Coster Rises 📸 Stay Tuned, Stay Rooted • Height: ~50–55 cm • PPFD: ~760 µmol/m²/s • Temperature: 28.8°C • Humidity: 66.6% • VPD: 1.33 kPa • Light Cycle: 11/13 (with 15 minutes red/far-red at lights on/off) • Nutrients:   – Aptus Regulator (0.25 ml/L)   – CalMag Boost (0.25 ml/L)   – All-in-One Liquid (1 ml/L)   – Top Booster (0.2 ml/L)   – Plagron Sugar Royal (1 ml/L) • Photos: Taken inside the tent (plants too large to move) From this point forward, the buds will fatten, aromas will intensify, and your tent will become a living painting of sativa energy. Next week might be wild — whether or not we get outside shots, the story will be worth sharing. ⸻ Let’s keep the momentum going, and let’s keep making GrowDiaries and the community a space where we learn, laugh, and bloom together.

Day 22 25/07/24 Thursday Still no Feed/water since Tuesday. Been a humid and overcast two days so not as much evaporation as normal. All plants happy and healthy 💚 Video updates Day 23 26/07/24 Friday De-chlorinated watering pH 6 with 5ml calmag to 5L water. Watered each with 250ml and had small run off. I will continue to feed/water with small run offs to help prevent salt build ups. Video update. Day 26 29/07/24 Monday Nice feed today, using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. They each had 300ml with small run off. All looks incredibly happy and healthy! The Auto Kabul that was mutated and twisted has pulled herself through and is just a bit shorter than the others. Day 28 31/07/24 Wednesday End of week😁 De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform 💪💚

Bubble og they seem to be over taking my little seedling tent almost half the seedlings I have are bubble og. I don't plan on keeping them all I'm only going to flower either 6 or 8 of the 12 seedlings. They all have a very uniform apreance and height. They are growing better than early early seedlings. Not fast or anything but health growth now. They all have very dark leaves might have some black leaves at harvest Last grow I overwatered and had to toss them because growth got stunted and a bunch if fungus knats got to the soil. This time I'm trying promix potting soil wish I had tried promix hp but the store close by isn't a hudro store and that's what they had. So this time I'm being very cautious with the watering I'm only useing a spray bottle I'm currently giving 45 spray per solo cup every few days when it dries out. This promix soil seems to hold water decent so the 45 spray there is 0 water coming out the bottom the cup yet. Here soon I think I'm going to double the amount of spray to 90 and start letting the soil get dry dry before watering again. Probably will hold off on any nutes quite yet. I'm going from 24/0 to 20/4 light schedule this week. There getting to the point they won't strech as much is 4 hrs of darkness and I'm rasing the light intensity a little it's been around 150 I'm upping it to around 175. Most likely by the end of the week I'll probably be pushing 200 or close. Hopefully I can get them into the big tent soon At this stage I like to alternate having the fan blowing on them I feel it gives them time to recover and get stronger instead of wind stress. Also every few days I will turn the plants so they are facing away from the light making them grow back towards the light I fell it makes them stronger

🌿 Grow 🤝 Freunde 🌱 🌿 Update – Tag 55 in der Blüte (DWC) Jetzt sind wir offiziell im Finale. Die Lady’s zeigen sich in absoluter Bestform und wirken klar erntereif. Die Buds sind maximal verdichtet, extrem frostig und stehen stabil bis in die unteren Etagen. Das Canopy ist voll geschlossen, gleichmäßig und schwer beladen – genau so, wie man es sich kurz vor dem Chop wünscht. ❄️🌸 Auf den Bildern und im Video sieht man deutlich: Die Trichome sind überwiegend milchig, mit etwa 5 % bernsteinfarbenen Köpfen – perfektes Zeitfenster für ein ausgewogenes, kraftvolles Endprodukt. Die Sugar-Leaves sind komplett überzogen, Harzproduktion auf Peak-Level.
