Plant 2 harvested 8.5 weeks from seed to harvest Plant 1 harvested 9 weeks from seed to harvest These ones swelled up and grew at lightning speed compared to the rest... wish that third seed had germinated now ;) I'm putting Ripper Seeds autos up in the top spot for now, 100% - this and Zombie Kush auto grow last year have been huge yields and really fast to grow. They just have these immense top colas (for those who prefer to leave the plant untouched - I don't do anything to my plants, no defoliation, LST, etc. Mostly because I'm really lazy when it comes to these things.

Put the seeds into the soil about 1cm deep, mist sprayed. I've put them on a window sill as it's predicted frost tomorrow and the day after 😳 in the middle of May! Transferred outside to the pollytunnel after 48hrs on a windowsill. Watered with rainwater.

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend! The Donuts is flushed and ready to chop, the flowers are very dense and smell amazing. I will start flushing the Cherry Garcia tomorrow, and the Apple Fritters and Durban Thai X C99 need another 2 weeks or so. Hopefully the flowers continue putting on weight. Thanks for stopping by, stay safe, and blaze on!

Pictures are from Day 91. Top Gun 2 is coming to the finish line, the whole tent reeks and starting to see good amounts of amber, although the buds aren’t as solid as I was hoping for. I could harvest as soon as today. This grow has been another great experience of learning about these awesome plants. Please also check out my gorilla cookies grow that went alongside these two topguns. Thanks!

🌿 Sour Diesel — Catch-Up Report (Weeks 2.5 → 4 | 12/12 Transition) First — a quick word to everyone following the diary We want to start this update by apologizing for doing a two-and-a-half week report in one go. This is not a change in transparency or process — it’s simply to bring Sour Diesel back in sync with the rest of the room. All plants are evolving under the same tent, same environment, same rhythm. Having one diary lag behind doesn’t serve the journey — so we’re catching her up, cleanly and honestly. Thank you for understanding 💚 ⸻ 🌱 General Behavior & Growth Sour Diesel has been growing beautifully. • Strong, healthy structure • Deep green, lush foliage • No stress signals • Calm, confident growth She transitioned into 12/12 smoothly and is now fully sharing the same rhythm as the rest of the room. ⸻ ✋ Training Response (Week 3) Training started in Week 3, using only: • leaf tucking • gentle leaf bending No aggressive techniques. Her response was excellent. By the end of Week 4: • She became noticeably bushier • Leaves increased in size • Side branches began to push outward and upward • Branch length reached roughly 4–5 fingers, which is perfect for this stage Nothing exaggerated, nothing forced — just natural structure opening up. ⸻ 🌸 Flowering Signals (or lack of — and why that’s okay) Despite being under 12/12: • No visible flowering signs yet • No pistils • No true flip signals This is expected. Why? • She had ~15 days of 18/6 vegetative phase • She’s now completing ~2 weeks of 12/12 • Sour Diesel often hesitates, then commits fully She feels close — almost like she’s thinking about it. We expect clear signs very soon, likely at the start of the next week. Ending this week: ➡️ bushier ➡️ more structured ➡️ clearly preparing ⸻ Nutrition & Autopot Reality (Important Note) She is currently being fed the same vegetative recipe, with one key adjustment. Autopots & organics — the reality Some of the inputs we normally use are organic / biological. These work beautifully with: • some gravity feeding • hand watering • living solutions But they do NOT work well in irrigation systems like Autopots. Why: • Living inputs can settle • Cause build-ups • Create pH fluctuations • Reduce line consistency • “Alive” water doesn’t like being stored or recirculated So for now: What she’s receiving • Plagron Terra Grow only in the Autopot system • EC lowered to 0.8 (instead of 1.0) • Even though NPK is present, we keep EC conservative • No boosters in the reservoir Occasional top feeding Once or twice, when watering the rest of the room: • She received the full recipe via top watering • This is likely how we’ll continue once demand increases Flower will bring higher needs — we’ll adapt when she asks, not before. ⸻ 🌬️ Environment No changes here: • Temperatures stable • Humidity stable • Airflow unchanged Everything remains identical to the rest of the room, so no need to repeat values. ⸻ 👑 What to Expect / What Not to Expect Expect: • A clear flip soon • Stretch after commitment • More expressive structure than some of the others • Increased nutrient demand once flowering starts Do NOT expect: • Instant pistils just because she’s in 12/12 • Heavy defoliation yet • Aggressive feeding right now • Identical behavior to other cultivars Sour Diesel does things her way — and she’s doing them well. ⸻ 🌿 Final Notes She’s healthy. She’s calm. She’s aligned with the room now. This Queen is not late — she’s intentional. Thank you to everyone following this journey, and thank you for allowing us to keep the diary honest, educational, and paced by the plant — not the calendar.

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.

I almost stripped them naked kinda but I need to get more light to the lower bud sites otherwise they are pretty much popcorn. The Green Gelato is happily starting to produce flowers while the Lemon Cherrys are taking their time to stretch one of them is almost 130cm tall and that was the 1 that was the most behind in the early weeks ahhahaha.

16/10/2025 18:25 15°C 64%RH Here i am,man these plants smells a lot,super Fire🔥🔥 When every tree in the forest have yellow and brown falling leaves two hidden in plain sight marijuana plants stays green and keeps bumping juicy buds especially Coco fresh Days are now shorter,colder and the wettest days of the year are now officially beginning 30 minutes after we went out of the forest an heavy rain started and didn't stop until 18/10 morning,i'm honestly worried about my plants,😭 #1 Coco Milk 89 days from seed Buds are now putting on some weight ,i don't expect a big yield from her but the quality Is here better than any expectation Keep smelling like milk and coconut simply stronger than 5 days ago At 1:50 you could see a strange calix formation,that thing Is enormous and it's the only one in both plants I'm not worried about this,i find It funny and i'm intersted if someone can explain It scientifically #2 Coco fresh 77 days from seed Bigger bigger and bigger!!! This one doesn't give a fuck if nights are longer and colder,the buds have a totally different dimension in less than a week,smell is now coming through pretty similar to her sister Coco Milk with a funky candy twist not so potent right now According to the moon phases theory i will harvest probably 4/5 november when the moon will be full again Apricot and part of the gorilla z was harvested during the so called super moon and the difference on the smell and crystal coverage are pretty impressive being honest That's why i will push until the next full moon even with impossible climate #3 Coco Milk sample,simply sticky as a glue stick😂😂 Pictures and #4 Coco milk sample wet trimmed,have to say hard to trim,but the final result looks and smells AMAZING I know that Is better to wait but i have to try this ASAP,i have to know how It tastes

Start of WK3 day 17 of flower. As you can see the sour diesel has not stretched past the others. I just bought a new light (SE4500) and been hanging it about 30 inches from the canopy and this has def influenced this stretch. The northern lights is my favorite structure so far, really tight nodes and are going to form some nice colas. The Grandaddy purp I think has the most uniform canopy and feel its gonna fill out nicely. Top dressed on 3-16 with Gaia green power bloom and all purpose along with some worm castings

So harvested Gigi yesterday (D70) as she looked ready. And also very beautiful in my humble opinion. Covered in trichomes and very bright orange pistils pics don’t do justice. The buds are smallish but really hard / dense abs she stinks to high heaven. After a week of drying, Heidi is just about to start curing. (120g / 4 oz). Tbh we’re smoking her already as she’s already way better than current stash. Tastes absolutely delicious, I’m not one for describing pretentious flavours. She tastes dank and makes me properly stoned lol. Also only gonna get better now on the cure. Naomi is the final girl still going, plan to pull her on Sat/Sun D77 ish. She’s the biggest of the 3. Despite showing some signs of earlier nute burn she has powered through with the biggest and longest buds of all 3. Very excited about her. And finally the other 2 girls (not included in this diary) strawberry pie autos look a few weeks behind these but just going into beast mode both are 1.2m tall and getting loads of solid super stinky and frosty buds. In summary pretty fuckin fantastic start to the year. Happy Days. Thanks for reading. Have a great week.😊

Glæd jer til at se mere om mit nye gro rum nu med 2 telte hydro osv. Telt nr 2 kommer desværre ikke i brug før om Ca til 5 dage, da jeg glemte at bestille ventilation og kulfilter

Es geht von 55-80 cm Höhe, 2 von den Ladys haben eine sehr klassische Auto Wuchsstruktur. Florfliegen habe ich mir auch eingeladen, sie sollten bald schlüpfen, damit sie ein wenig aufräumen. Ansonsten zeigen sich die ersten Trichome und die Blüten schwellen langsam an. Schädlinge und auch Mangelerscheinungen sind nicht zu erkennen. Das Lied zum Sonntag kommt von Phantogram und gefällt meiner Frau sehr. 😍

She is getting to her ripening stage so in it longer feed her any nitrogen just keeping it organic with wood ashes, molasses and Bat Guano…her smell is amazing.
