So this was quite the productive week..! They grew enough after the topping for em to bend over. First step to ScrOG has been done and I'm quite happy with the results 💚 Next step is the screen of course! Then let them full it and switch em Just a reminder.. I'm growin 4 plants in a 120*120 so a little patience would be required if you, like myself, would like to fill that space up ❤️💛💚 One day I'll fill it with just one plant 😆😆

This was the last week of flowering and therefore I stopped giving any nutrients for a good FLUSH. This is very important in order to avoid a harsh smoke later when the plants are dried, because any nutrients left in the plant will burn your throat and the weed will hurt while you smoke it. Both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants have developed well and carry hefty top buds on each side branch and also the main cola. The lower regions also carry buds, but those are a little more fluffy and not so big and dense as the top buds. Every bud is COVERED IN TRICHOMES and the plants glisten in the light, they are FROSTY AS HELL! The plants have a STRONG AROMA now, which is sweet and peachy with hints of sandalwood. They smell ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and I cant wait to try the dried end-product. All in all I can only recommend this strain, its not the biggest yielder, but definitely delivers connoisseur grade weed. Hats off to Mat from House of the Great Gardener in Canada, he has made another GREAT cross and I hope he will release this variety soon! 👍😍😎

Week 8 From Seed — Week 3 Flower (Report labeled Week 9, corrected here for clarity) Before we dive in, quick recap so new eyes understand what’s happening here. ⸻ 🔁 How We Got Here These are limited genetics — only 750 packs released. We are running pack 268, grateful to have secured them. All plants come from the same line, but we intentionally allowed structural differences through training variations. All training has been low stress, but: • One plant guided more assertively with clamps. • Others shaped gently. • One allowed more natural vertical dominance. Same genetics. Different structural expressions. Same flower development pace. That’s important context. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Room Conditions 📊 Current Conditions • Canopy temp: 27.9°C • Humidity: ~70% • CO₂: 1000+ ppm (lights on) • PPFD: 800 → 1300 µmol/m²/s (size dependent) The room is full now. Dense canopy. But healthy density — not chaotic. ⸻ 🌱 Substrate • Soil EC: 0.91 • Medium temp: ~22.5°C • Moisture sensor reading: ~94% (but dry-down cycles actively implemented) Dry-outs are working. You can see the EC stabilization in the chart — no runaway accumulation. The graph shows controlled feeding and dry-back rhythm. That rhythm is key. They’re drinking well. No signs of stagnation. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy Main Light High intensity, climbing as canopy grows. 🌞 UVA / UVB — 6 Hours Mid-Cycle Purpose: • Mild stress stimulus. • Activation of plant defense mechanisms. • Potential terpene upregulation. • Resin density encouragement. Important: UV is not a magic switch. It is a controlled stress input. We are applying it during peak metabolic activity — that’s strategic. Monitor for: • Leaf tacoing • Excessive stress response • Overly rapid senescence So far? They look stable. ⸻ 🔴 15 Minutes End-of-Day Red Extension We’re adding 15 minutes of red-only at lights-off transition. Theory: • Increased phytochrome conversion (Pfr → Pr) • Faster “sleep signal” • More defined photoperiod closure In practical terms: We’re tightening the circadian signal. Will it radically change yield? Probably not. Will it refine plant rhythm? Possibly yes. And importantly — it’s controlled, not excessive. ⸻ 🔦 Undercanopy Lighting This is significant in the setup. Benefits: • Lower bud site development • Reduced larf • Improved airflow • More uniform photosynthetic distribution In a dense canopy like yours, this matters. The under-shots shows you good structural spacing — not suffocated. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Structure & Development All plants are: • Strongly branching • Aggressively stacking • Frost levels increasing rapidly The trained plant: • Slightly smaller • More guided architecture • Same flower vigor Defoliation response: They bounced back as if nothing happened. That’s a sign of: • Strong root system • Adequate nutrition • Stable VPD • No lingering stress You can see it in posture. Leaves are praying. Internodes are active. No droop. ⸻ ❄️ Frost Report Resin production is accelerating. Macro evidence confirms: • Early density increase • Even coverage • No patchiness This stage (Week 3 Flower) is foundation frost. Real explosion comes mid-flower. But the signal is there. ⸻ 🌡️ Driver Temperatures & Heat Consideration Measured: • 35.5°C • 32.6°C • 28.6°C Driver heat does contribute to tent ambient load. However: Our canopy temp (27.9°C) suggests ventilation is compensating properly. Watch: • Upper canopy hotspots • Uneven temperature zones So far, no visible heat stress response. ⸻ 🌿 Room Visual Impression The room is full. Not messy full. Intentional full. Canopy is closing. Bud sites are forming evenly. Structure is defined. It looks alive. ⸻ 🌱 Nectar Drip They are on fire. • Stacking. • Frosting. • Branching aggressively. The trained one expresses structure differently, but flower quality trajectory is matching. They are going to be large plants. You can see it in internode strength and stem diameter. This is not a timid run. ⸻ 📅 Why We Call It Week 3 Flower Even though report header says Week 9 from seed: We are in: • Week 8 from seed • Week 3 of 12/12 flower cycle Flower count is based on photoperiod switch, not seed age. Clarity matters. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude Section To the OGs who’ve been here since the beginning. To the newcomers discovering the journey. To the skeptics. To the critics. To the silent watchers. To the @GrowDiaries platform it self. To the GrowDiaries community. To the sponsors. To the supporters. To the haters. If you are here, you are part of this. Gratitude doesn’t discriminate.

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.

When I began the contest I had only grown Magic Melon once before (last winter), it grew in an 18 litre pot, became around 4 feet tall, and completely filled a 3'x3' tent. A friend of mine successfully grew a seed I gave them this summer in a container about 4 litres and the plant was considerably smaller. The fact that it can be successfully grown in less than 250mL is astonishing, I have buds from the one grown last winter that are bigger than the can I grew this one in. Harvested 91 days from sprout.

Thai chocolate the champion of this diary. Really amazing structure. Love the fan leaves - real classy. Has great hues through the bud. It’s has looked like a super model from seed all the way to here. A modern version of a classic. Give it a go

Das sind fantastische Nahaufnahmen! Deine Vermutung mit **1 bis 2 Wochen** ist eine absolut punktgenaue Landung. Man sieht deutlich, dass die Damen auf die Zielgerade eingebogen sind, aber jede Pflanze hat gerade ihr ganz eigenes Tempo. Hier ist die detaillierte Analyse der Trichome und des Reifegrades (von links nach rechts): ### 1. Apricot Auto (AA) – Die Vorreiterin * **Trichome:** Auf den Bildern sieht man ein sehr schönes Meer aus **milchigen (trüben)** Trichomen. Die ersten bernsteinfarbenen Köpfchen blitzen vereinzelt schon auf den Spitzen auf. * **Status:** Sie ist am weitesten. Hier sind wir eher bei **7 bis 10 Tagen**. * **Empfehlung:** Ab sofort nur noch klares Wasser (Spülen), falls du das nicht schon tust. Sie braucht keinen Dünger mehr, um fertig zu werden. ### 2. Cherry Cola (CC) – Die Überraschung * **Trichome:** Wer hätte das gedacht? Die "Zicke" hat ordentlich aufgeholt. Die Trichome sind fast alle trüb, kaum noch klare dabei. * **Status:** Sie liegt fast gleichauf mit der AA. Auch hier sind **10 Tage** ein realistisches Ziel. Das Wasser-Regime der letzten Zeit hat ihr sichtlich geholfen, den Stickstoff-Überschuss abzubauen und sich auf die Reife zu konzentrieren. ### 3. Tropicana Cookies (TC) – Die Harz-Maschine * **Trichome:** Das Harz ist phänomenal. Obwohl sie optisch am spektakulärsten aussieht, wirken die Trichome hier noch am "frischesten". Es sind noch einige klare Köpfchen dazwischen. * **Status:** Sie hat das größte Potenzial, in den nächsten Tagen noch an Masse und Potenz zuzulegen. Hier würde ich eher auf die vollen **14 Tage** tippen, um das Maximum an Bernstein für einen entspannten Turn herauszuholen. --- ### Mein Fazit & Plan für die "Letzte Ölung": 1. **Wasser-Marsch:** Ich würde ab jetzt bei **allen dreien komplett auf Dünger verzichten** (auch kein PK mehr). Die Pflanzen haben genug Reserven in den Blättern, um die letzte Woche zu zehren. Das verbessert den Geschmack massiv. 2. **Lichtleistung (80%):** Lass die Lampe auf 80%. In der letzten Woche vor der Ernte kannst du sie (wenn die Temperatur unter 26°C bleibt) für 3-4 Tage auf 90% pushen, um die Harzproduktion als "Stressreaktion" final zu triggern. 3. **RLF im Auge behalten:** Da die Buds jetzt extrem dicht und harzig sind, ist eine RLF von **unter 50%** dein bester Freund gegen Schimmel auf den letzten Metern.

No complaints this week. All the ladies are growing strong and healthy. Remember how stunted this plant was a few weeks ago? Now she stands taller than some of the other ladies. Speaking of, I have my 2nd trellis positioned exactly 12 inches a part from the 1st trellis. As you can see. There are many Colas that are over a foot long. I do believe that I will yield more from this harvest than the last. Only time will tell. I will keep yall updated in my next upload, Happy growing 🍃😎

Week 6 D36) nitrogen toxicity signs so I flushed with 2 gallons of distilled water, then gave half a gallon of recharge,runoff PH was 6.4 ,ppm got down to 1800 so I gotta feed less,saw her first pistol yesterday so think this week will be the first flower week D37) lst D38)added small fan , lights at 100W D39) fed 7,5 ml bloom to half a gallon, ppm 600 , ph 5.5- don’t want to over feed but they also need some more P rn D40) worried about deficiencies, took out heating mat D41) fed half gallon with 5 ml bloom .5 ml calmag Day 42) think ph is to low , calcium def but shouldn’t be low on calcium

Привет друзья. Моей растихе сегодня 71 день. Был в отъезеде, не поливал. В связи этим растение не много подсохло. Как придёт в чувства. переведу на цвет. Начал применять LST технику на 19 дне и продалжаю применять её через день, а 18 августа добавил ДЕФОЛИЗАЦИЮ С 20.08 ДЕФОЛИЗАЦИЮ делаю каждые 3,4 дня С 20.08 LST технику делаю каждые 4.6 дней На сегодняшний день влажность 54% 26 дней назад заметил высокий Ph 7.9 С 48 дня Ph не ниже 5.8 На сегодняшний день Ph 6.0 Начал кормить с 60 дня Canna Terra Vega PPM 550 Погладитель влажности, выполняет свои функции. Посмотрю на динамику. Всем мира и добра! https://t.me/smail_seeds #Smail_Seeds

Big tops! She's got a lot of rocket colas thanks to the training techniques that were applied, she smells exactly like her sisters, very sweet and floral, I'm starting to feel the cherry 🍒 notes on the smell of the buds, very good strain to grow, only 2 of the 5 phenos are 100% percent purple but tje other ones show purple on the leafs like this one because of the cold temperatures

week intel: we had some dear guests of family from foreign country to meet again after years so i had to make some free space for their stuff therefore girls are going to be gusts too for a week in their neighbors home :D some times unpredicted things happen you must be ready to change at any time , so i moved some and chopped off weak ones stresses : E.C stress around 1.2 3 times per week feeding: replaced b-52 with Bloom base nutrient i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them high with base nutrients(calcium & micros (half dose) + Bloom) about 631 ppm - 1.2 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them high dose of Top-Max + Bloom Base nutrient around 600 ppm - 1.2 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them high dose of Feeding Booster around 630 ppm - 1.2 e.c to cause stress this last week guide of the week : we are in the final phases of this run , i'm happy about quality but depressed about quantity :D

The ladies are doing great and growing well. I'm really happy with the progress so far. They have now reached 60 cm. I plan to install the Scrog net within the next few days to allow them to grow wider.

Was a great run , plant got so big it overtook my tent. So far the biggest Autoflower I've grown. Nice smell of lemon and berries. Careful with nutrients and make sure to use Cal mag, just my opinion, thanks everyone

End of week 9 and I'm seeing just a few amber trichomes and most of hairs have turned brown so she'll most likely get chopped during week 10.
