Everything going great, not to much to report this. Plenty of new bud sites, and some very beautiful tops. Added in just a few inches of fresh fox farms soil to keep roots covered. They feel as they finally stopped stretching so much, so I'm feeling alot better about my taller girls getting too tall.

Its smells amazing. All three tribes. G13 Haze I expected to stretch in height but it is the smallest of all the trunk ( about half the size of purple p. And pineapple) Let it grow :)

2/12: I moved the Platonium, both Sucrose Overdose, and the last Muscadine Wine into the dark. The Velvet Sugah Bref, GG4, and Berry Bomb are the last plants from this diary, and they are just getting water and Liquidsoil. They are all in the closet now and getting blasted with extremely cold winter air and intense UVB for their last week. 2/13: I harvested the Platonium, both Sucrose Overdose, and the last Muscadine Wine tonight. Sexy sexy bitches...ooh la la! Not embarrassed to say that I got major wood while giving them a bath...😜

10/28/2025 What a day! We have started the Bloom Nutrients, cleaned out the reservoir... To be honest, I don't know what people are talking about with dirty things. My whole bucket was super easy and fast to clean. Frankly it really wasn't dirty at all. Kinda like reusing a cup. Nothing wrong with it. Just had something else in it. Anyway, quick and easy. I used distilled water. 4 gallons per bucket. I think my TDS meter is broken. Either it's really that high or these plants love it, but the reading is 1020 ppm and the EC is at 2000. That's really high... I think. I have no idea. I've read that people couldn't get over 300 ppm without burning their plant. While I'm at 1020 ppm. Something is wrong here and I can't figure it out. I've watched them like a hawk for the last 5 hours. And they look super happy and healthy. Not a single sign of toxicity. Just follow the instructions. Lol. So why am I looking at numbers that should burn them? Maybe I'm wrong. But I think they can just handle it. No idea how, but these are tough plants. I'll update with any signs of stress. Anyway, moving on. Ahem... So I definitely need to do another clip traing on Papaya Cookies. Not really sure if Lemon Cherry Cookies needs it. I'll see tomorrow. Also, these 2 are finally showing real traits of what they are. Papaya Cookies is definitely sativa as the description says. Like seriously sativa. Thin leaves, skinny branches. At first I thought it was the stem issue, but then I realized that this is what it's supposed to look like. Skinny but strong. Anyway, she is starting to grow too tall in the middle, so I need to pull down some branches with those clips I got. Lemon Cherry Cookies is certainly showing her indica traits. Wide leaves, bushy stature. Thick strong branches. Beautiful green color. (Papaya Cookies leaves are much lighter.) Lighting: 27" away from the canopy. Power 90% 278 watts. 615 PPFD I might have to dim the light a little when they grow closer to it. Maybe. It all depends on how much higher I can get the light up. I think there's 8 inches of space between the light and the ceiling. I'll figure it out. The environment is still perfect. The humidifier and heater barely run. And if they do, it's like level 1 or 2 of power. Not much going on in there to change the environment. But I did get my new exhale 365 bag. It's supposed to take a few days to get going, so we'll see what it looks like in a few days. The CO2 level is around 900 ppm. I'd like it a bit higher, but it's ok. I don't think I'll record the environmental readings. They are generally all the same. And it's honestly getting a bit redundant. Especially when they are already recorded in the list thing. See you tomorrow. 10/29/2025 No picture day. I assure you they look wonderful. Both plants are starting to show buds. They should start stretching any day now. Each of them is 12". Very green, very healthy. I'll have to pull down 2 top branches on Lemon Cherry Cookies after lights on. Just 2. They are sticking up too high above the others. Also, it'll help fill in a hole in the center of the plant. Still looks pretty bushy. That's nice. Papaya Cookies looks awesome! Even after her little infection. Definitely stunted and I would have expected her to be taller than her counterpart. But she isn't. However. That's not stopping her from producing tons of bud sites. I may have to go with the scrog net after all. Unless she hardens up and can hold the buds. I don't think so. I'm gonna have to use the net as a support. Lighting: So I lowered the light to increase the DLI currently it's sitting at about 42.5 mol. The PPFD is around 630. Something like that. I'm going to double check when the light is at full power. I was going to increase the intensity to 100% but I decided I should wait a few days since I lowered the light. I'll get a measurement after the lights turn back on. Honestly, my goal is to have the light as high as it can go with max intensity. I'm not sure I can actually do that with this 300 watt light. I also have the CO2 exhale bag I can consider soon enough. If it works as they say, I can probably increase the DLI to 50 mol. We shall see. Environment: There's actually something to talk about. So I live in an apartment converted from a house. There's a total of 3 apartments. Someone, not me, cranked the heat this morning and the tent hit like 78°. I know it's not a lot, but still not within my precision mastered range. Lol. Hell, my AC isn't doing the job. The lowest it's been is 71° in the house. Back up to 72° but yah, in the house it was like 75°. Anyway, that's it for the day. I'll check in later with any changes. 10/31/2025 I'm sorry everyone. I've been super busy the last couple days and didn't have time to add to my plants adventure tale. So I noticed at light level 9, the plants were praying pretty hard. I thought to myself well then a bit missing light. So I turned up to max level 10. Watt output is 310 watts. I don't remember the DLI, but it's like 44 mol. Anyway, I checked on them about an hour later. They were still slightly praying, but that's good. It just means they needed a bit more light. I'll keep an eye out for light stress. Also, I think I figured out a thing. Cannabis grows trichomes when it is stressed out as a defense mechanism, no? As in a strong aroma coming off in the veg stage. Isn't that a sign of stress. In particular light stress? Obviously when flower hits, it will smell from the flowers. But as a vegging plant, it should smell like a leafy green plant and not strongly of trichomes. It's just a theory, but could be useful if I'm right. To summarize, veg stage should smell like a plant. Flowering should smell like weed. And as it's known. It builds trichomes to protect against light stress and a few others I can't think of at the moment. Wind burn too I think. More like environmental stresses. Something the plant would have to protect itself against. If you have an idea in regards to this theory, I would be glad to talk about it. Send a comment and we can maybe start a discussion. Anyway, I let the pH float yesterday. Today it was dangerously close to 6.5. I don't understand why it increases so much. It doesn't swing either. Just spikes. It's seriously annoying not knowing why. I will learn thos somehow. Back to 10/31/2025 Happy Halloween everyone. 🎃 So today I will be taking some of the training clips off. They are starting to get too small for the bigger branches. I'd like to take them all off now, but I have a lot of small branches that need to be woody and thick. But yah, all of those are coming off. I've also decided to see if the light at 90% will still cause major reaching. And if so, maybe I should let it be. They can stretch right into the light. Or I'll leave it at 100%. I'm not sure yet. Any suggestions? Feel free to comment on that no matter how old this diary is. The temp seems to be perfectly ok, but the humidy is starting to climb with the plants getting bigger. So it's dehumidifier time. I'm planning on buying the AC Infinity one that connects to the system. But I have as small one for now. Environmentally speaking, everything is going great! Not too much wind, decent air exchange and bouncy CO2. Not sure how to fix that. I was considering routing the end of the exhaust duct back into the tent. I think I will. When I get these vent port caps. They are light proof but also provide air exchange. So I was thinking of taking the duct. Sticking it in the top vent port and letting that air flow through. If it works, I should have plenty of CO2 in the tent, the temp should stay pretty constant as well as the humidity. Well, kinda. The dehumidifier would have to work double time, but the other accessories, like the heater and the humidifier won't need to run as much. And considering this AI is keeping my tent spot on, I'm guessing spot on to spot on would make a perfect mix. We shall see. I have to wait a week or so for the port covers, which sucks. Because this is the very beginning of flower and I would love for the CO2 levels to be in the 1200s. I think. Lemon Cherry Cookies looks absolutely wonderful. Lush broad leaves. She'll definitely need a trim at the end of the stretch. Speaking of stretching, she hasn't done much of it. Like an inch or so. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or if I'm just being impatient. But I have had plants with the greatest care only get to like 18" tall. This Lemon Cherry Cookies looks like it might be one of those plants. Super bushy, but really short. Trimming after the stretch should open up some much needed air space. But as I said the leaves look great! No signs of any issues whatsoever. And the root ball! It's huge! I can't take pictures because I have to hold the lid up. Believe me, it's big. Papaya Cookies looks pretty good as well. She's actually taller than her counterpart. By a good inch or 2. But that is most likely because she's a sativa. Where Lemon Cherry Cookies is an indica. In that aspect everything is perfect. And! The stem isn't getting big big, but it's definitely expanding. Not like the other one, but still. She still definitely needs to be supported, but I expect good things. Maybe not big things, but good ones. Her root ball isn't all that big either. Kind of expected. However, I do have 1 more seed I think. Maybe I'll pop that after the next run. Hopefully I'll be in a bigger place with space for a 4x4 tent and my 3x3. That would be pretty bad ass. 3x3 for autos and vegging photoperiods. The 4x4 for the flowering phase. Autos stay in the 3x3. An endless supply of weed right there. That's all for the day. 11/01/2025 So I wake up this morning to a legit bush. Lemon Cherry Cookies seemed to go PUFF and blew up like a balloon. I'll definitely be taking out some leaves after her stretch. I think that's the best time to trim an autoflower. But only once. Small snippets, in my experience, are fine. But like just a few leaves here and there. Papaya Cookies is starting to stretch more. She's also starting to fill out now. I'm expecting a much larger plant in the coming week or so. She's still a very healthy plant. No idea how, but even her lower stalk is fattening up. She might be a little bit behind, but she's starting to become more active. Honestly, she should be taller and a bit larger than Lemon Cherry Cookies. The way the stalk looks on both of them, Papaya Cookies wins. Up top anyway. But the bottom is small, so less production I think. The environment is spot on still. I think I'll leave the light at level 9 for now. I might turn it up after the stretch. But for now, level 9 it is. The CO2 is pretty low in the tent. I forgot to tell you all. The new exhale 365 bag came in and is already in place. That was nearly a week ago. My bad. Anyway, it works, but then it stops. I might route the exhaust duct back into the tent above the canopy after I get the port vent caps. I think that'll work. This is good. Because winter is coming and it gets cold here. So I'll need as much heat as I can get. Well, not really, the heater I have is fantastic. But you get it. The heater also brings in a ton of air. Enough where it balloons the tent. I'm having trouble getting the pH to stay at 5.8. it jumps to 6.3 daily. So I guess I'll just keep fixing it. Lol. Anyway, that's all for today. I'll update with any changes. 11/02/2025 Well well well. Look who came out to play! Both ladies are doing quite well. Lemon Cherry Cookies is by far the winner of this run. But you never know. Papaya Cookies might shoot up but I'm pretty sure she won't get that big. Her root ball is kind small. At least compared to Lemon Cherry Cookies. Hers is huge. I can't take a picture because I have to hold the top and the roots. So big. Anyway, I had to top off both ladies today. They were about a half gallon low. I added a little bit more bloom to help prepare them for the next water change and then bloom goes up. And we add the p/k boost. So I figured exposing them to a very small extra dose would probably do good. Other than that and the huge root ball, nothing much else to report. The environment is perfect, as usual. I'll definitely be trimming after the stretch. They are getting really bushy. That's all for now. 10/03/2025 Good stuff happening today and possible bad stuff as well. Good things first. These 2 plants are getting nice and plump. Well Lemon Cherry Cookies is. Papaya Cookies has a few lower spots. Her canopy isn't very even at all. Thelmouter half just stopped growing. She's also showing signs of nutrient deficiency. She definitely has enough nutes. It's because of her smaller trunk. I could be wrong, but that's the only thing I can think of. I checked for bugs with my microscope. Nothin. Checked everywhere for signs of rot, root rot and anything else that could potentially be causing the yellow spots. They are burning through it looks like.

I'm gonna pull it soon with my other plants. Was stoked how this performed after a slow start. A good learning process. I'll plant the rest next year. Smells good 👍

All in flower and slowly gettin frosty

Que pasa familia, andamos por aquí, puesto que está farm cheese a cogido muy buen ritmo, esta será la última semana que la daremos de crecimiento, y en nada pasamos a 12/12.(floración). El ph está controlado en 6.5 , la humedad está por debajo de 55% y la temperatura no sube los 26 grados. Vemos un ejemplar que está ramificando bien, el led me está gustando mucho la flor crece más compacta.

6/28 I had to water deeply despite watering thoroughly yesterday. This heat wave is supposed to pass today. We have had temps in the 90's. Ihate it but the girls seem to love it. RH is super high and controlling pm is a pain in the balls. When my connection is better I'll add my vid and photos. Still need a follow up preventative spray. BT is really awesome but super narrow and I've found random stink bugs, earwigs, crickets and grasshoppers as well as easily identifiable leaf damage. I'm thinking Spinosid. Save my PM stuff for PM. Tried checking my PH with a soil meter. The bags are basically just roots. The only two plants it read came to 6.5 which is strange because I usually run around 7.3. I'll certainly take it. If it's correct that is. RH 64 TEMP 84 6/29 Didn't water this morning due to a torrential downpour last night. Nothing broken after first glance. The thunder and wind woke me last night. This storm was horrific yet my plants still seem unaffected. Need to rearrange the cage. It will be a pain to have to move that ice cream cake. Maybe I could find a way to modify the cage outwards. I also need to move the plant in the tote in the back. Luckily I got back and watered before plants dried out. Noticed a FEW dead or yellow leaves on the middle interior of some plants. I upped dosage of growbig last feed and fed a little earlier. I'll go back to my normal feeding schedule and see what happens. Thing is the plants are getting huge so I would think increased nutes would help. Couldn't he lockout. Too much water. Maybe nutes in the soil are leaving? I'll figure it out. I temporarily pulled the stalk on the ice cream cake back and tied it to the posts to get it off the fence. 6/30. 90s again today. I deeply watered and noticed a couple more yellow leaves (bottom middlish). Only thing that was changed was feeding. I may go back to original schedule. Funeral today so I'll have to check things out later. UPDATE: Went back maybe sux hours after watering to find the grow bags dry. I reached my hand in the side and it's pretty much all roots. These high temperatures and wind are drying my plants out. No droop but the soil WAS dry. I watered again and plan to check again tonight. When temps go down I'll probably do a preventative Spinosid spray. 7/1 Watered and fed two gallons. Grow big at 1 1/2 tbsp. Still some yellow leaves on the interior. I'm talking like maybe five. Accidentally destroyed lace wing eggs. I knew it was something to keep an eye out for but I mistakenly thought it was BAD. Oh well it was just two eggs. I'm sure there are more. Tried measuring PH with soil meter but the only two plants that registered were 6.5 and 6.6. I believe the PH to be a bit higher. The bags are so full of roots it's hard to get a measurement. I know my soil and water WAS on point before my gauge broke. However I leave the 7.3 as that was about what the big ones tested at last time measured. 7/2 These are some resilient strains. Currently 54 degrees at 9am. It had been 80 or 90 in the last few days. Perfect rain today. A light shower all day. Obviously didn't water. Found a few yellow leaves but the plants look so good. The also seem to be stretching but it's far to early for the preflower stretch. I'll keep an eye out. Things are looking pretty good. Still need to move that plant in the back. 7/3 Watered today. Looks like it might rain but top soil was a little dry. Also noticed this site measures teaspoons not tablespoons which is how I measure. I'll need to adjust that. There's tell tale damage from a variety of pests (leaf hoppers, pillars, grasshoppers ECT.) So I think I'm going to do a spray within the next couple days. Im leaning towards Spinosid but Dr. Zymes supposably helps the PM as well. I'll do more research and update. 7/4 54 degrees and raining. Haven't checked the girls out yet today.

Siamo all'8 settimana le piante hanno sviluppato fiori ben formati,ora dobbiamo avere pazienza ed aspettare che diventino ancora più grandi,la maggior parte dei pistilli é ancora bianca e le piante ancora verdi,questo significa in grandi linee che la pianta può ancora produrre,incredibile la pianta in fondo a sinistra ha quasi toccato il soffitto,un autofiorente di eccezionali dimensioni,ancora all'inizio della fioritura

Wow the smell in this tent hits you in the face like a sack of lemons if life gives you these kind of lemons you take em and smoke em 🍋🎄🤤

Scratch what I said at the end of last week pests are still around just had some bug fly at me and bite/sting me on the neck now a got a welt on my neck smh, not sure what the heck it was it was some sort of black bug maybe a thrip but I honestly have no idea, did another neem oil drench on the medium only and tomorrow I'm going to use a hydrogen peroxide mixture again that way I can also use it on the tops and undersides of the leaves as well. Some of the roots started to become exposed on the top soil so I added more an inch or two coco to cover the exposed roots. Another successful week I guess the plants aren't dead so onto week 9, Week 4 of flower

I flushed 2 times and cut back on Nutrients

D50/FD22 - Right, water change day (Evening). Right and proper f**ked off with the light doing me over (See D49/FD21 Comment for that epic story!!!). Where stretch had stopped (I thought), plants are back in the lights AGAIN!!! Blaming the light giving a near 24hour session and some other broken sessions of light over the last 48 hours!!! So had to pull out the extraction as getting LED burn on leaves that are touching! Blowing through the Carbon Filter and can't really smell anything so that's not bad. Everything a wee bit noisier with the fan not being muffled in the tent but need the space and got around a foot. Not prefiltering the fan as I have the new Cloudline to go in for next grow. Hopefully they grow no more and its all thickening buds from here so as I have space for the UVB in there in a week or 2! Slight change in feed. Dropped the roots booster as Wilma can't take any more...its full!!! Dunno how I am still getting 50L of water in there!!! Added PK9/18 (At half strength). Should probs drop the calmag (Or Kind Base down a bit) to drop nitrogen but am still seeing some copper spots here and there that looks like wee calcium deficiencies (Not much, but its there) - I do have some BioBizz CalMag (Which is Nitrogen Free) but it leaves the tank stinking with precipitate and dirties the roots. Think this is the 1st grow I have had where all the stems staying green so plants generally healthy. Cherry Pie still not budding up as quickly or as thickly as the Red hot Cookies but looks like its maybe running only a couple of days behind in growth so no biggie. Few weeks left for it to catch up and surprise me at the end! 😁 Red Hot Cookies is at the races for budding...even seeing pistils colouring a bit already (Dunno if thats good or bad!!!). Now just to make sure I see no signs of re-veg...as per the D49/FD21 comment, I'll be scowling at GeekLight this week. Digital Timer in there now to ensure no bleed through - power gets hard cut like old times. Unfortunately though, when the light comes on via power-on (and not app timer mode), UV & IR comes on too so have a timer set to stop it after 1 min (Its about all the app being used for now!!! Apart from turning on my IV at midnight for 4 hours - which is, I have just seen, still working). Think that's all the s**te I have to talk for now! Happy Growing all!!! 💪

Responding well to the top Fed with lotus: 4/12/26

Banana Guava – Week 4 (Fast Buds Outdoor 2026) Another week of great weather, which means Banana Guava is now living outside full-time, even through the nights. She’s getting as much direct sun as possible and responding beautifully. I added some simple sticks to support the stem and keep her stable (still looking for an improved solution). She’s sitting at around 7 cm tall with a lovely, deep green color. I also fed her lightly with BioBizz Fish-Mix and BioBizz Calmag. I’m staying ahead of any CaMg deficiencies this year after last season’s issues.

Doing well, flipped to flower, looking forward to watching her fill up the 3x3. She's a heavy feeder so I'll need to stay ahead of that.

Woche 7 Fastbuds.... der Name ist Programm! Sie baut fein ihre Blüten aus und das wunderschöne Purplen geht auch immer weiter vorran. Die Wurzeln sind sehr krass in den Tank gewachsen und selbst wenn die Bewässerungs-Dochte mal versagen sollten, hat sie einen Weg gefunden um an Wasser zu kommen(siehe Bilder). Eine Woche nach dem Entlauben sieht alles wieder aus wie vor dem Entlauben. Auch wenn ich das insgesamt eher sehr ungern mache, müssen noch mal ein paar Blätter raus.
