Mar 6th - last-light tonight for Panama x Malawi. what was the old news flash...? โ€œpictures at 11โ€ - then a minimum 36 hrs in the dark. RH 35-40% A wet-trim b4 hanging is planned. See where that gets us... - pictures taken and lites out by 21:00. -Harvest starts Monday Afternoon - still working from phone pics, more later Mar 8 -Tent gets opened at Noon after ~ 40 hrs of dark. Then itโ€™s pictures and a trim as Harvest happens today.. - a video has been added to the pictures, doing a last lap around the tent before they were harvested Mar 10th -off the clothesline, trimmed & weighed and now into a tent for temp & humidity control. - 4-5 days of 19c @ 50-55% Rh is the target Mar 13th both batches were weighed and contained. Left plant was both Larger and contained more Pot that the Right plant, which has historically been smaller from the start Left plant contained 5.6 ounces. The Right plant, which also had the UV-B bulb, and was smaller, contained 4.6 ounces. ... poking at details and photos as you read this

This girl is stacking so nicely for someone who got very little grow time outdoors before the onset of flower. 2nd generation of shogun I have grown but never smoked, so I still don't know if its any good. LoL Something tells me this one is going to be something special. Lets see.

Hello everyone! I promised to track this grow very closely this time and ufortunately life got in the way. Here is a quick sumup of the grow. First of all- One of the sour stomper plants unfortunately didn't make it. It died at about week 4. The main stem somehow had rubbed/broken down. That's why it was falling down. It was almost like a mini beaver had chewed it off at the point where the stem touches the riot rooter. At first I thought nothing much of it, maybe it hasn't been rooted in quite well yet or something. And I was constantly touiching it when watering, that made it worse. Soo the leaves were dropping and the plant looked very weak. Then I decided cut thr rapid rooters top layer and found out the severity of the problem. Tried to tape it up and other things, but it was too late. At the end it appeared all good as the remaing plants got so big the I had some space issue so I wouldn't have been able to fit another plant in anyway. At that time I finally made my self-draining saucers. I took me a while and a lot of effort, but finally they were ready and working well. I also installed the self watering system and flowering was starting. Pretty soon I started noticing weird leaf symtoms. Brown spots, different kind. Some plants had it more, some less. Sour Stomper looked pretty good throughout the grow. Mango smiles seemed sensitive and Strawberry Nuggs were pretty strong until the end. The grow was basically me experimenting with the setup- changing watering schedules , changing ppm, ph and all that stuff to keep the leaves looking healthy and it was very hard I have to admit. Probably my hardest grow in that regard. But somehow, the bud leaves remained healthy and the buds really fattened up good. I got away with an amzing 700G dry bud harvest which was def a new record from one grow. And the bud quality is very good too! Next time definetly no more than 4 plants as they got pretty big and I thought it was a little overcrowded. I was doing some good defoliation too. I should have defolited strawberry nugs more tho. Sour Stomper got some amazing bud development from top to bottom because it was was growing next to strawberry nuggets which were really small most of the grow. They actually took the most time to harvest even longer than Mango smile. Mango smiles were ready quite early. Sour Stomper was just in time! I topped sour stomper and both Mangoi smiles, left SNs both normal. Looking back at it, the way I grow them, Should have topped SNs too. Would probably have more space in the middle and longer side branches. Probably wouldn't have been as bushy! I followed the full Terra aquatica feed chart until the end. I was supplementing with CalMag a lot as I thought the symptoms could have been from a CalMag deficiency as this was my first grow with RO water. Overall a very challenging but good grow at the end. First time no mold problems. A record breaking yield for me. Basically surpassed the upper limit for all plant probable harvest sizes. Got good smelling quality bud. Very happy overall and will continue experimenting with Mephisto beans in the future for sure! I guess what I like the most about Mephisto is how close to description the plant is, very stable genes in that regard. Next time I will also have to start feeding plants higher PPM feed faster at the very start. and during flowering. But still not 100% sure what caused the leaf symptoms.

Had to tear out my best looking Deep Purple because it was a male :(. So bummed ๐Ÿ™ so only have one left so fingers crossed. Two of the fast buds CBD got about one week left. The other on is twice the size and about 3 weeks left. They smell very citrusy ๐Ÿ‹. Grow on!!

Once again had no issues had very good growth on all my plants, mother plant seems to use about 12/15l of water every 4 days just have to keep on top of that. Topping I did couple of weeks ago went a bit side ways as some plants seem to have 3 nodes at the top some how, Think is will be the last week in veg going to change light times next week to start flower, What would peopleโ€™s views be on defoliation on the before flower should I do it now while there in veg or when I change the light cycle

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Grow Journal โ€“ Week 12 | Pineapple Upside Down (Veg) Week 12 of veg โ€” the Pineapple Upside Down is cruising steady and looking stronger than ever. Iโ€™ve been letting her just do her thing, focusing on recovery and structure before deciding if Iโ€™ll top her later. At this stage, itโ€™s all about patience and letting her build up natural vigor. Nutrient-wise, still running the Athena Blended line, holding the mix at EC 1.4. Iโ€™ve been experimenting with Athena Balance, and I have to say โ€” itโ€™s impressive. My base water pH usually fluctuates between 6.3 and 6.8, depending on the day. I add 1 ml of Balance, which actually brings it up close to pH 9.3. Once the nutrients are mixed in, the solution drops back down to around pH 7โ€“7.2, and from there I fine-tune it with a touch of pH Down to land right around 6.0โ€“6.1. I allow a gentle drift down to 5.8, but whenever it hits that mark, I bump it back up slightly to keep things steady around 6.1โ€“6.2. Honestly, Athena keeps the reservoir incredibly clean โ€” crystal clear every time. Itโ€™s one of those small details that really makes a difference when youโ€™re running hydro long-term. Temperatures are holding around 22โ€“23ยฐC, with humidity between 70 and 75%, which keeps the environment perfect for steady vegetative growth. Sheโ€™s lush, healthy, and just waiting for her turn in the flower tent โ€” if I had more space, sheโ€™d probably be flipping already. Thatโ€™s about it for this week โ€” nothing flashy, just solid progress and patience. Canโ€™t wait to see how she performs once she hits flower. Thanks for following along, growers โ€” see you next week! โœŒ๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ

ITA: dopo l'eccesso di top max della scorsa settimana le piante non mostrano ulteriori sintomi di degradazione. La laughing buddha รจ quella che mostra i sintomi piรน evidenti. Le cime continuano ad ingrossarsi e l'odore sta diventando forte. Il filtro a carboni svolge il suo lavoro ENG; after last week's excess top max the plants show no further symptoms of degradation. The laughing buddha is the one that shows the most obvious symptoms. The buds continue to swell and the smell is getting strong. The carbon filter does its job

Tuesday update Ok so the plants are on a 12/12 cycle now and have been for about a week but Iโ€™m not counting it at a flowering weed until I. See pre-flowers at least. Iโ€™m surprised they hadnโ€™t really reached sexual maturity by the time I flipped but itโ€™s all good. They are getting to a very respectable size now - more so than that, they all have a really decent amount of growth nodes and are growing outwards more than upwards because of how I have topped, defoliated and got rid of the crap lateral branches at the bottom that donโ€™t do anything. I was actually really amazed at how compact and scraggly they were at the bottoms of the stems when I came back and checked them today. They look much more bushy and straggly than the autos I have grown. I would say there is more need to have lolipopped and topped and stuff than with autos. If you really want you can just leave autos to get on with it and they donโ€™t go TOO bushy at the base where as these really needed a tidy up. I do see a couple of pistols now which is starting to stop my worries about their sexual maturity and time management. With photos are you supposed to veg until you see them pre-flower? Or do they only show pre-flowers once you flip?

This two were part of another diary and got moved out due to space reasons at VW8 and moved back indoors at VW20 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/218151-auto-god-s-glue-grow-journal-by-yan402 13.09.25 VW21 Both are looking good and are developing tighter nodes than when they were outside, I'm going to have to keep cutting them back every once and a while I also applied nematodes against thrips and fungus gnats. 20.09.25 VW22 some spots and some yellow leafs, I think it's a root problem, probably root bound, but both seem healthy and are getting thicker so maybe just top up with Coco coir and give a slight different nutrient schedule less Tri Part Bloom could do the trick MAYBE lol. 27.09.25 VW23 Topped up the pots with extra coco coir and trimmed the side roots a bit, both plants were root bound ๐Ÿ“น 03.10.25 VW23 did a HST/LST session ๐Ÿ“น 12.10.25 VW25 Done a major HST session to try and keep them in line with the Sunset Sherbet GF I have going in the same tent, rest in the video ๐Ÿ“น 17.10.25 VW25 ffj/fpj/fish 30 โ†’ 60 ml 19.10.25 VW26 it just became a one plant diary, keeping #5, #6 gets it's own diary for testing nutrients. 20.10.25 VW26(?)
