day 14 added 1/2tbsp magnesium sulfate in 5gal water along with regular flower water amendments. 1gal of water per day average, bridal and thunder can take more water. Ph 6.8 today day 15 I will defoliate in a few days :) day 15 video, you see some stem action day 16 video day 17 I added (4x20w daisy-chained)80w of poop purple ancient leds Keep adding soluble PK, organic booster etc. I see the stacks relax on defoliation for a few days, maybe tomorrow morning (skip day21) I feel like I will be able to chop week 6-7 as my last grow, push hard fast-continue everything is great, soon bridal and thunder will require 1gal water per day. I would like to see even more mass. I'm extremely happy, starting to see frost day18. BIG UPDATE many short vids of final defoliation(ahead of "day 21"). Wild amendments appeared! Any recommendations for a lawnmower? Bridalparty stretched over an inch overnight, led touch diode burn on 1 spot. Raised lights slightly, Added new amendments into water. Bridal wants to drink more than 1gal per day, So I will be using almost 5gal-ish water per day not denying the plant needs-watering. I am very happy! defoliation took about 4h today.

The plant continued progressing through early flowering with the stretch still clearly active 🌸 Vertical growth increased further and the plant gained noticeable height throughout the week. • Height approx. ~80 cm • Stretch still ongoing • Canopy mostly even Light intensity was increased to ~850 PPFD and the fixture had to be raised slightly as the plant grew closer to the light. Leaf posture shows light praying, indicating the plant is handling the increased intensity well. Water demand increased slightly during the stretch phase: • ~3.5L every 2–3 days based on pot weight 💧 Feeding this week: • 1x Orgatrex • Otherwise water + BioBizz CalMag Environment: • 25°C temperature • ~55% RH 🌡️ Bud sites are now becoming clearly visible across the canopy 🌿 Early flower formation has started, although buds are still small at this stage. Aroma remains very mild for now. Overall this week shows strong stretch, healthy development and the clear transition deeper into early flowering 🍩🔥

Clones taken from my last LH currently flowering outdoor diary. vegged under 50-50 sun and led. Now transplanted to 5L pot and 1.5 weeks more vegging under led and then will go to flower Led setup is 1 Mars Reflector 192 along with two units of BloomSpect 300 veg under veg switch on mars with bloomspect (only on-off switch) will flower with bloom switch on also. bloomspect true watt is 130w Mars true watt is 280w veg and 450w veg w/bloom

OK hi growmies, I'm in to final flush week with purple lemonade. She looks and smells amazing so 7days until we cut her down :() Also wedding cheesecake coming along beautifully. Her aroma is amazing and creamy with the hint of cheese and I j8st cannot wait... i have a couple more weeks for her and Grape gushers... Next week i will have pics and videos or crop from purple lemonade 💜 Still will have curing process and final taste to show and describe. Shout out to these auto seed companies @420FASTBUDS @TASTEBUDZ

Hi everyone 😁 Welcome back in another week update! Thank you all for this amazing support on this bananas journey💚💚💚 Uploading and updating each week content on daily bassis so please revisit this diary if week not over yet. So far all going great. Girls looking very healthy and happy. Due to my short trip had to leave my 🍌💜👊 girls unsupervised for 3 days. Was stunned when opened my cabinet on the Dec 5th. Athena stretched like crazy. Good 3 inches. She better slow down as not much roof space left for her. May tie some taller branches to netting if necessary. Introducing blooming nutes for the first time this week on December 6th at smaller dosage and on the second watering as listed. Week 8 Dec 4 - Dec 10 Dec 5 Leaves tucking Dec 6 Heavier selective defoliation on both girls. Athena fully lolipopped and Xena at 75%. Watered with 8 ltr beetwen both with perfect runoofs PH 6.4. Girls were very thirsty 🤤 Dec 7-8 Just enjoying how my girls developing. Frost has landed and they are start showing colours. All is looking great. Dec 9 Second watering for this week 7 ltr beetwen both. Runoffs PH 6.4 Even with so much difrence in size of my 🍌💜👊 girls it seems that they are drinking my juice almost equally. Dec 10 Applied selective defoliation and tied 3 tallest branches of Athena to netting to avoid any potential burns on these beautiful baby colas. It's the end of the week! Thank you all again for such a great support, all the likes, dm's, comments and follows 💚💜💚💜 Stay tuned for coming week update 😁✌️💚

🌱 Sour Diesel — Week 8 (Flower Week 3) — Strategic Reset Week ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — Where We Are • Genetics: Sour Diesel • Timeline: Week 8 from seed • Flowering: Week 3 • Height: ~60–70 cm (compact structure) • Room Temp: 28°C • RH: 65% • Feed EC: 2.9 • pH: 6.5 (kept above 6.0 intentionally) • Lighting: LED • Action this week: Strategic defoliation This plant is not tall — she’s compact, dense, and structurally tight. Which means airflow and internal light penetration become critical early. And that’s exactly why this week mattered. ⸻ 🍃 The Defoliation — Not Aesthetic. Architectural. This was not cosmetic trimming. It was: • Removing large fan leaves blocking interior bud sites • Cleaning inner congestion • Opening airflow channels • Resetting light distribution across the canopy • Helping the entire room environment (not just this plant) The room needed air — this plant was advanced enough to handle stress. That’s key. Week 3 of flower is the transition window: • Stretch is slowing • Bud sites are set • Energy shifts toward stacking At this stage, a strategic defoliation: • Improves transpiration efficiency • Reduces microclimate humidity pockets • Prevents internal leaf-to-leaf condensation • Encourages bud site activation below the top canopy This was structural architecture. Not haircut vanity. ⸻ 🌡️ 28°C in Flower — “Too Hot?” Let’s Go Deep. People panic when they hear 28°C in flower. But here’s where most growers confuse: 🔥 HPS vs LED Heat Behavior Under HPS: • Radiant heat warms leaf surfaces directly • Leaf temperature often equals or exceeds room temp • 28°C air under HPS can mean 30–32°C leaf temp • That pushes VPD dangerously high Under LED: • Less infrared radiation • Leaf surface temp is typically 1–3°C LOWER than room temp • So at 28°C room temp, leaf temp might be 25–26°C And VPD calculations depend on leaf temperature, not air temperature. ⸻ 🌿 What Is Leaf VPD? VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) measures the difference between: • Moisture inside the leaf • Moisture in the surrounding air But if you calculate VPD using only room temp, you’re missing the real transpiration dynamics. With: • 28°C air • ~25–26°C leaf surface (LED) • 65% RH Leaf VPD sits in a very workable mid-flower zone. Not extreme. Not stress-inducing. Not shutdown territory. We’re driving metabolism, not cooking terpenes. ⸻ 💧 Why 65% RH Isn’t Dangerous Here Context matters: • Good airflow • Opened canopy • Compact but cleaned structure • Early-mid flower (Week 3, not Week 7) At this stage: • Pistils are forming • Bud density is still moderate • Transpiration is active High humidity becomes dangerous when: • Bud mass is dense • Internal airflow is poor • Late flower resin traps moisture We’re not there yet. And we just improved airflow with defoliation. ⸻ ⚡ EC 2.9 — Aggressive but Intentional That EC is strong. But: • Plant is compact, not oversized • Sour Diesel can eat • pH 6.5 keeps availability wide (Ca, Mg, P balance) The key will be: • Watching leaf tips • Monitoring runoff behavior • Watching for clawing or salt stress Right now, if she’s praying and stacking, she’s handling it. ⸻ 🔍 What To Expect Next Week (Flower Week 4) After defoliation: You may see: • Slight pause (24–72 hours) • Increased vertical bud push • Better lower-site activation • More defined pistil clustering • Stronger apical dominance response If recovery is clean: • Buds begin early stacking phase • Internodes tighten • Resin production initiates at bract level If stress appears: • Slight leaf droop • Tip burn acceleration • Reduced upward leaf angle But based on structure and timing — this looks calculated, not reactive. ⸻ 🧠 Why This Week Matters Long-Term This week determines: • Airflow pattern for late flower • Mold resistance later • Bud density uniformity • Final trim efficiency • Light-to-bud conversion efficiency This wasn’t about now. This was about Week 7 and 8 survival. ⸻ 🙏 Appreciation Section To: • The OGs here since seed • The new followers discovering the journey • The silent readers • The critics • The skeptics • The lovers • The haters • The platform • The sponsors • The community • Grow Diaries itself Everyone has a place here.

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.

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis Debut du rinçage pour ma belle car les trichomes sont bien laiteux ils devraient ambrés bientôt Je procéderais à la récolte quand ceux ci seront ambrés à hauteur de 30% La plante est saine et dégage une bonne odeur chocolaté un vrai régal pour le système olfactif

Esta semana seguí con 18 hrs unos días hasta que hoy le cambie el fotoperiodo a 12/12 y le puse otro foco más. Seguiré así una semana y luego pasaré a nutrientes de flora.

Big leaves, no toppings, LST, or any other training. Just removed some lower branches. She’s just started flowering, but the growth rate of the flowers is high!

🇩🇪RS11B – Update 🍃 Die RS11B entwickelt sich aktuell solide und hat sich gut vom Stress durch Training und Umzug ins 1x1 erholt. Heute gab’s pH-reguliertes Wasser + CalMag, erstmal bewusst ohne zusätzlichen Dünger. Das Training wurde weitergeführt, Triebe neu runtergebunden und die Fläche gleichmäßiger verteilt. Die neuen Tops kommen sauber nach oben und die Struktur passt. Im Vergleich zur C-Variante (trotz knapp einer Woche Unterschied) bleibt die B deutlich kompakter, während die C größer wächst – allerdings ohne dass die B im Wachstum eingeschränkt wirkt. Zwei klar unterschiedliche Wuchsformen. Bin gespannt, wie sie sich Richtung Blüte entwickelt. 🇬🇧RS11B – Update 🍃 RS11B is developing nicely and has recovered well from the recent stress (training + move into the 1x1 tent). Today she got pH-adjusted water + CalMag, no additional nutrients this time. Training was continued, branches tied down again to improve canopy distribution. New tops are coming up evenly and the structure is looking clean. Compared to the C-variant (despite about a one-week difference), the B stays noticeably more compact, while the C grows bigger — without the B showing any signs of reduced growth. Two clearly different growth patterns. Curious to see how she performs heading into flower.

Week 5 the girls are packing on size day by day The feeding has definitely picked up they are dinking about 18 gals of water every day to two days The gorilla cookies and 2 of orange cookies are nice and tall at the 51.5 inch mark The wedding cheesecakes are short, squat, and loaded with some sweet creamy cake smelling buds they are about 33-38 inches tall The smelling it the room is truly amazing fruits and pies is what it hits my nose like lol

So this is how things are looking for the Exodus Cheese & GH Cheese. I lost some of the other footage that I had throughout week 4,sorry guys, but didn't do much to these ladies anyway, they started out too short to do much training.

its a weee bit past the time i shoulda flipped, i wanted it to recover and fill out in the 7gl. so now its time !!! First day of flower !

🌱 Grow Diary: Week 1 Wrap-Up (Day 0–7) Week 1 of Flower Complete Key Milestones Achieved: · Successful Flip (30 May): I switched to 12/12 with a healthy 90 cm root mass. · Stretch Phase Initiated: My plants showed significant daily water consumption (3–5l day). Canopy height increased visibly. · pH/PPM Stabilization: I managed nutrient stratification by lifting the pot tops to mix. Settled sediment was successfully reintegrated. · Concentrate Calibration: My homemade 5-7g/1.75L of A&B batch was measured at 3,455PPM and tested for real-world effect (+42 PPM per 100 mL in ~10 L). This is now a reliable tool. Week 1 Final Readings (End of Day 7): · Plant 1: 612 PPM / 6.01 pH · Plant 2: 652 PPM / 6.06 pH Nutrients & Additives Used: · Canna Cal/Mag (RO water base to ~200 PPM) · Sensi Bloom A + B (Base) · Voodoo Juice (2 mL/L) · Homemade Concentrate (3,450 PPM) · pH Up (Small drops for correction) Health Assessment: · Roots: Thick, white, and filling the bucket. · Canopy: Flat, wide, and entering the stretch. No signs of light burn or deficiency. · VPD: Within target range with my new AC Infinity controller FINALLY not continuously CRASHING The Good: · The AC Infinity Controller is stable this entire week. · Voodoo Juice kept my root zone healthy during the transition. · My mixing technique (lifting the pot tops) is proving effective. The "To Do" for Week 2: 1. Hydroguard arrival (7–12 June): I will continue Voodoo Juice until it arrives. When Hydroguard lands, that will be the next reservoir change. 2. Additives: Big Bud and Bud Candy are ready for Week 2 (Day 10-14). 3. Water Level Monitoring: I will keep a close eye on the level. My plants are drinking heavily. I will top with RO water as needed. My Assessment: Week 1 was a textbook transition. I handled stratification, calibrated my concentrate, and kept the pH in the sweet spot. My plants have responded with aggressive growth. I am now entering the "bud formation" phase of Week 2. I will stay on top of the water level as the roots are taking up the volume of the reservoir. and the incoming Hydroguard then reservoir change "The first week of flower is a ballet of adjustments. You choreographed it perfectly. Now, let the buds take center stage." — Apex

Finally got my buddy to come out and add in a 20 amp outlet so I can fire up a better light. Still using quantum boards but with a 4500k spectrum. Got in a foliar with the Growzyme from green buzz liquids. Fed them right before I took the pics they look a little sad but hopefully they bounce back quickly. Not much else going on. The code bangdang will get you discounts at..

It's been great.. upgraded their tent, girls are stretching fairly but not excessively. I remove lst tie downs before flowering [experiment] but had to redo to maximize light penetration, previous topping and lst created a lot of bud sites Happy growing guys..

Hi everyone, Week 13 from seed, 3 week of flower. Big changes this week. The stretch is almost done, now she is concentrate on blooming. See you next week :)

Super frosty this one start upping the dosage now too a little bit
