Like most beginners I am very impatient. Therefore the following question can I be satisfied with growth so far ? I haven't used any fertiliser so far because I put pre-fertilised soil in the pot when I repotted it. It hasn't received much water yet either, I drowned a plant before, so I have become cautious. I'm starting to think about training her, because I'm very limited in height. 5.5. 80ml 7.5. 100ml 11.5. 240m

🌱 General Development White Russian had a more eventful week. She reacted to light intensity and showed first signs of top bleaching, so I raised the lamp slightly, which immediately helped. Buds are chunkier than Bubblegum and stacking more aggressively, with a classic frosty look. 🌿 What I Did This Week • Raised the light to prevent bleaching and heat stress on top colas. • Enzyme tea (light) to boost microbial activity and help the plant handle the mid-flower nutrient demand. • Adjusted irrigation to 5–6 L, keeping the soil evenly moist. • Checked worms under the avocado → great activity, soil thriving. ⚠️ Issues Noticed • Some upper sugar leaves slightly yellowing → normal light stress + high metabolism in mid-flower. • A few lower leaves yellow → absolutely normal for Week 5–6 flower in living soil. Nothing alarming, the plant is stable and responding well. 📈 This Week’s Progress • Buds thickened significantly. • Aroma stronger; more citrus/spice notes coming through. • Resin production clearly increasing. • Structure tightened after the light adjustment. ✨ Closing Note White Russian is definitely the more vigorous one this cycle. After raising the light she bounced back instantly. Buds are swelling, resin is coming, and the canopy looks incredibly uniform. Next week should be her “sparkle moment.” ❄️🔥 #livingsoil #organic #scrog #season2 #seriousseeds #ledgrow #nemessis200w #elnassgrow

It's that time again – the Week 4 report for our Power Buds competition, and let me tell you, it's been an exciting week of growth and cultivation! Our verdant companion, Jelousy, has been flourishing like a botanical superstar. Now, let's dive into a decision I made this week – the transplantation. While some may opt for the instant gratification of planting directly into their final pots, I've chosen the path less traveled. Jelousy has been gently ushered into a larger pot, not yet her final abode. Why, you ask? Well, let's talk roots! Transplanting into a larger but not final pot is like giving our plant a roomier apartment without handing her the keys to the mansion just yet. It encourages the development of a robust root system, allowing Jelousy to establish a solid foundation for future growth. It's the horticultural equivalent of laying down the groundwork for a skyscraper. And speaking of roots, let's chat about the magic touch we've added during the transplant – the Aptus Holland Mycor Mix. This isn't just any mix; it's a microbial powerhouse that works wonders beneath the soil surface. Picture it as the unseen orchestra in the symphony of plant growth. The mycorrhizal fungi in Aptus Holland Mycor Mix form a symbiotic relationship with the plant roots. They extend the root system, enhancing nutrient and water absorption, while the plant provides the fungi with sugars. It's a harmonious dance of give-and-take, resulting in a healthier and more resilient plant. Applying this mix during transplanting is like giving Jelousy a team of loyal assistants, working tirelessly to ensure she receives the nutrients she needs to thrive. It's nature's collaboration at its finest. Now, let's talk visuals! I've prepared a mini video report showcasing the awe-inspiring beauty of Jelousy. Her leaves are lush, her stems are sturdy, and those roots—oh, those roots—are reaching for greatness. Check out the video link to witness the botanical magic in action. As we soak in the visual feast, let's extend our heartfelt gratitude to Zamnesia and Plagron for making this journey possible. Their support is the compass guiding us through the green wilderness. And, of course, a round of applause for the incredible Grow Diaries community. Your shared passion and knowledge create an atmosphere of growth and learning. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your plants continue to thrive, and your dreams of a flourishing harvest come to fruition. Here's to a week of roots reaching deep, leaves stretching high, and the joy of watching our botanical companions flourish. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of .

Week 12, Day 83 from seed and 3rd day of flower.....The 5 day of this week officially marked the start of the flowering season!! So I flushed both of these bad boys with ph'd water for two days and then today I switched them to 12/12. I gave them their first dose of bloom nutrients and then lollipoped them as you can see, pixs . Grateful no issues to report for the past 3 weeks have been trouble-free!! I'm going to leave the MH bulb in for an additional 2 weeks to prevent any stretching before switching to the HPS. But so far they are still loving their environment. I'm also in the process of keeping clones of fat banana and hulkberry while i try this new strain of Peanut Butter Tree.

So after consideration of the density of the buds and my night humidity levels— decided to chop a week early. Buds are super dense. Concern for mold. Very leafy lady- with massive fans She’s 10% amber but still some white pistols on the lowers. Very easy to grow. Stayed on the shorter side with minimal stretch—which is appreciated. I love how the Plagron Green Sensation is nitrogen free! I used it from weeks 3-6. Super helpful as the leaves were getting a little curl— even with minimal nutes. Will have harvest report soon. As terps can change after dry/cure. Happy with the results of the Runtz and Plagron! 🏻💚

First week of flowering. Added a mixture of hydroponic nutrients, added a 50w lightbulb (for a total of 250w) and did some more and final defoliation; now she's ready to bloom at peace.

Hello the greater community that is GROWDIARIES!!! This week has been well, uplifting should I say! Two weeks ago I was pretty dismal, I had one out if three auto flowers. I had high hope for this grow with RQS being g pretty reputable, but all was going wrong! Then! with a little help from my friends here on GrowDiaries, I was inspired to carry on lol! Now a fortnight later, I'm my opinion, things have turned a corner! I'm seeing flowering behaviour again from these three that were completely stuck in veg! So I'm happy :) Supercropped the big sativa. Just made sense. Only one hasn't been HST, the runt who is actually most progressed of the three. Followed by big sativa. Feeds are pretty unique for each plant so just ask, but the one shown relates to the one in flower. Summary: 1 auto 3 photo periods all under 12/12 for the past 2 weeks. Thanks for taking a nosey!

Questa settimana lei si è dedicata all'indurimento delle cime! I suoi Bud sono estremamente duri e pieni di tricomi ! L'odore è veramente molto particolare, puoi sentire ogni faccettatura di arancia caramellata con un sottofondo di barattolo di vernice appena aperto! È uno degli odori più particolari che abbia mai sentito ecco perché è diventata presto una delle mie preferite 😍 Veramente una grandissima e bellissima cultivar!

: - Day 1 week 5: just checking how lst is doing, they will be ok - Day 2 week 5: not completely dry to water so I’ll wait for day 3 of week. Did lst to make sure all branches receive as much ligth as possible - Day 3 week 5: watered them with 4ml/L calmag and 2ml/L bio grow ph 6,5 tap water trough activated carbon filter. RHC#2 broke one of the branches, I had to tape it. Not to be worried, she’ll recover from that. RHC#3 is very slow compared to the others. - Day 4 week 5: defoliation so sun enters better and wait. - Day 5 week 5: added 1L of water with 2ml/L Bio grow, 6 ml/L calmag and 2ml/L bio heaven. 1600 us/cm and ph 6,2 - 6,5. RHC#3 suffered of broken branch due lst 😞 still learning about the flexibility of branches. I think she’ll recover hoping not too much stress for her. - Day 6 week 5: RHC#3 looks good despite broken branch. Not much for today just watch temp and humidity, hoping they grow tall so I can cover a good part of the tent.

Was a pretty smooth week for most the girls. Showing some steady growth. I topped all of the plants around day 12 other than the slurricane 7. Ph got a little high since the nutrient level was too low to buffer it at the beginning of the week. Slurricane 7 and sugar cane are the ones that took some damage. I think they will be ok though. I upped the nutrients to 1/4 tsp per gallon and the ph has held stable since then. Should be able to start some training the middle of next week and looks like we might be going 2 more weeks on veg before flipping them to flower depending on how this upcoming week goes. Guess you will have to show up next week to find out...
