Wrap up of the Award Day at Spannabis 2025 with Adam iLL!

That’s a wrap on an epic awards day at Spannabis! Congrats again to all our growdiaries.com community-voted winners for shining in the growing world! Thanks to everyone who joined us! #Growdiaries #Awards

😎 This week I successfully transplanted Blueberry to her forever home, which is a 5 gal. Lumo-X fabric pot filled with good old potting soil. Once in her new pot I gave her 500ml water with Dutch Science's Seed and Root formula. She looks healthy and strong but still very young. I'm really keeping an eye on my light levels because i'm trying to avoid stretching. Controlling stretching was one of the bigger mistakes I first made during my first ever grow last summer. So far everyone seems happy in the tent despite have 3 different plants at 3 different stages of growth. Grow strong little one we have lots of training to do 💪.

Let's go for this session. Long time I wanted to grow Desfran seeds. First because it's almost 100% sativa, and it definitely gets my preference. Second, because it grows fast and high... if everything goes ok ! Germination day 5 : 3/3 Desfran Germination day 12 : The litle girls growing gently. The second pair of leaves is coming, and I thing I'll turn into "week 1" on saturday with their first repotting.

ITS PERFECT. OMG...AND WE CAN DO A MONTEL GROW AND HE CAN DO A SHOW NEXT ON MONTEL, REVA, WHAT WENT WRONG?? 5/1 5AM **Hell yeah, that’s the kind of late-night (or early-morning) epiphany we love.** Dr Pepper + peanut butter cookies sounds like a wild, sweet-salty, cherry-cola spiced twist. The 🌿😂 makes total sense—some of the best flavor combos hit when you’re relaxed and creative. ### How to actually make Dr Pepper flavor work in cookies Dr Pepper’s profile (cherry, vanilla, warm spices, cola bite) needs concentration so it doesn’t just evaporate or make the dough too wet. Here are practical ways: 1. **Reduction/Syrup** (best for strong flavor) Simmer 2 cups Dr Pepper in a saucepan over medium heat until it reduces by half (about 1 cup). It’ll get syrupy and concentrated. Let it cool. Use ¼–⅓ cup in your peanut butter cookie dough in place of some sugar or liquid. This gives real Dr Pepper taste without watering it down. 2. **Simple cake-mix hack** (super easy starter) Mix a chocolate or vanilla cake mix with 6–8 oz Dr Pepper + peanut butter. People make 2-ingredient Dr Pepper cookies this way—add ½ cup creamy peanut butter to the batter for your twist. Fold in chopped peanuts or a swirl of extra PB. 3. **From-scratch peanut butter cookie base + Dr Pepper** Start with a classic PB cookie (butter, peanut butter, sugars, egg, flour, baking soda/soda, vanilla, salt). - Replace some brown sugar with the Dr Pepper reduction. - Add 1–2 tsp vanilla + a pinch of cinnamon or allspice to echo the soda’s spices. - Optional: a few drops of cherry or almond extract to amp the Dr Pepper notes. ### Quick test recipe idea (Dr Pepper PB Cookies) - ½ cup butter, softened - ½ cup creamy peanut butter - ½ cup brown sugar + ¼ cup Dr Pepper reduction (from above) - 1 egg - 1 tsp vanilla - 1¼ cups flour - ½ tsp baking soda - Pinch salt + optional cinnamon Cream butter + PB + sugars/reduction. Add egg + vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients. Chill dough 30 min. Bake at 350°F for 10–12 min. They’ll spread a bit and get chewy with that cola kick. **Pro tips**: - Reduction is key—plain Dr Pepper in dough usually bakes off too much. - If you want stronger flavor, look for Dr Pepper extract/flavoring online (some baking sites sell “Dr Soda” type). - Top with a light glaze: powdered sugar + a splash of Dr Pepper reduction. Go make a small test batch with what you have. Report back how it turns out—I’m genuinely curious if the cherry-cola + peanut butter hits as good as it sounds in your head. What’s the vibe you’re going for—chewy, crunchy, or fudgy? Got any other flavors you wanna mash in? Let’s refine this masterpiece. 🌿🍪 5/1 7AM 1.5EC 6.0 pH 2 liters each Maxi Bloom powder only. 5/6 5 AM AC 1.078 pH 6 light runoff today

Well this little tester has out grown her sisters by quite alot in its development , she is much larger and bigger leaves than the others and looks like she is really reaching for the stars and has had nothing more than fresh water until this week

Germination 27 September 2023 Heya 🤙👍🤙🌱🌱🌱 In the heart of a humble garden, a miraculous journey is about to unfold. Beneath the soil's dark, nurturing embrace, a seed lies dormant, awaiting the precise moment to burst forth into life. It is a marvel of nature, a tiny capsule of potential, encoded with the blueprints of the plant it aspires to become. As the heavens open, raindrops penetrate the earth, quenching the thirst of the soil and signaling to the seed that its time has come. The seed absorbs this life-giving moisture, swelling as it takes in water. It's as if the seed is awakening from a long slumber, stretching its embryonic limbs for the very first time. Within this subterranean realm, the seed's outer coat softens, and a tiny rootlet begins to emerge. This is the radicle, the seed's first root, and it instinctively knows to journey downward, anchoring itself into the soil. It is the plant's lifeline, seeking out water and nutrients essential for growth. Simultaneously, a delicate shoot, known as the plumule, makes its way upwards, drawn by an invisible force towards the sky. It is a daring expedition, fraught with obstacles, as it navigates through the soil. Yet, guided by an innate sense of direction, it perseveres. Finally, breaking through the soil's surface, the shoot unfurls its first leaves, miniature versions of what they will one day become. These are the cotyledons, a pair of leaves that have been stored within the seed, packed with nutrients to sustain the young plant in its earliest days. As the sun's rays touch these fledgling leaves, photosynthesis begins. It's a momentous occasion, the plant's first breath, as it converts sunlight into energy. The seedling, still fragile yet full of promise, has successfully embarked on the first chapter of its life. From here, it will face countless challenges and opportunities, but for now, it stands as a testament to the remarkable resilience and complexity of nature. Thanks for reading🤙👍🤙🌱

Finally bud sights day 38 from seed 👌🏾🤞🏾

3Mar-16Mar

Вот и подходит к концу наше увлекательное путешествие. С понедельника, 18/05 начал Pre-harvest Flush, всё идёт по плану. Я очень требовательно отношусь ко вкусу конечного продукта, поэтому стараюсь тщательно промывать растение (≈10 дней). Шишки стали упругими, при прикосновении похожи на резиновый мяч, жду не дождусь, когда можно будет попробовать😋. p.s. На последней картинке иллюстрация соответствия стрейна описанию из каталога - браво RQS!👍 Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

Week 9 the girls really started putting that fade on and bringing out the beautiful colors you see I love this time of the grow nearing the end and we get to see the transformation of these amazing plants

This week isn’t much to update. Tied down some branches. Lowered my lamp for maximum efficiency vegetative growth. Got a 4x4 tent ordered so that I can flower in my current tent, and setup the 4x4 for veg growth next cycle and so on. The sun system 1850 will get put into my current tent 5x5 when it’s ready to flip this tent to flower. Got another ac infinity fan for the new veg tent. So things are all coming together. It’s been a lot of time, effort, and money, but it’s so rewarding to see all the pieces come together so I can grow some amazing medicine here at home. I run 150 light commercial grow myself, and its so nice to just have a change of pace at home to come work on and give each of my home plants the individual attention they deserve. I hope everyone else is having a great week, with amazing looking gardens! Till next week, Happy Growing everyone!

7/14 girls are from 32" to 37" tall at 35 days old, looking good

First week of flowering in the bag, trying out a new deep voice in my videos does it sound sexy? Let me know in the comments. seeing a little bit of stress on the leaves, but nothing major. The new developing growth is green so everything seems to be going well. I’m gonna give it another week and then I’ll defoliate. So far so good. having a little trouble reversing the wrath rock, candy icy cuts. but I’m not worried. I have backups of the mothers and I have backups of those backups so I’ll definitely still be able to take another shot after seeing the results from this grow ….

So this week I added nutrients for the flowering stage. I gave her a little trim as well as added her netting. I flipped her on last Sunday PP

Hi guys! I swiched the girls to flowering.They are now on the 4th day flowering.Feeding them every 2 days with 1l-1,5l mixture.Cant't wait to see all the difrent coolurs 🙂

Die Pflanzen wurden nach 9 Tagen im Becher in jeweils einen 19L Stofftopf umgetopft. Nach 14 Tagen wurden beide mit einem Skalpell getoppt. Bisher fand so gut wie keine zusätzliche Düngung statt. Ab jetzt wird regulär Dünger verabreicht.

Video is day 34. They are starting to flower now. Still in 1litre pots Which I might finish them in as I'm tight on space right now. We will see. Either easy there looking happy.

🔘Week 4 Over for Lady North 🔘 Her growth was steady and constant so I went in for a full defoliation LST 🔘The goal is to level up the canopy to the same level so the tops all get the same light priority 🔘 I introduced nutes to the feed schedule around week 3’s end going into week 4 🔘Let’s see how she handle this
