With no doubt these plants have not produced much more quantity and density of buds due to the 2 serious mistakes I've made (those who have read the weeks will know what I mean). However, I can say that I am happy with the production obtained given the mistakes made. Between the 2 plants, the one that has produced more and generated the most dense buds has been the Gorilla with the Man-lining technique applied, it has also loosed a bit less weight drying than the non man-lining one. In comparison with the Money Makers with which they have grown the result is the same. Both Gorillas have each produced more than any of the Moneys comparing them 1 to 1. Also buds are a bit dense than the moneys, but none of them is really desde at all. *****ESPAÑOL***** Sin duda estas plantas no han producido mucha mas cantidad y densidad de cogollos debido a los 2 graves errores que he cometido (quien se haya leído las semanas sabrá a que me refiero). No obstante, puedo decir que estoy contento con la producción obtenida dados los errores cometidos. Entre las 2 plantas, la que más a producido y ha generado cogollos más densos ha sido la Gorilla con la técnica de Man-lining aplicada, y también ha perdido un poquito menos de peso en el secado que la otra. En comparación con las Money Maker junto a las que han crecido el resultado es el mismo. Las Gorillas han producido cada una más que cualquiera de las Moneys comparándolas 1 a 1. Así mismo, los cogollos de las Gorillas presentan un pelín más densidad que el de las Moneys, aunque realmente ninguna de las 4 plantas ha generado cogollos densos del todo.

The plants are large enough for low stress training I also decided to add advanced nutrients three-component fertilizer ph perfect As you can see in the main photo, the lower branches are small and underdeveloped due to the lack of light in the greenhouse I therefore decided to bend the plant more than is healthy in order to achieve greater development from the lower branches I noticed that some plants are small and undeveloped, and I saw holes and moles It was clear that something was eating the roots of the plant from below While working on low stress training, a mole ran out of the hole and started burrowing to another plant I really like animals, but I had to quickly decide what to do with the mole I pinned him to the ground with my foot and stuck a stick behind his head :( that I have as a support for low stress training I'm very sorry for the mole, I've never killed such a big animal... May mother earth forgive me... The next day I saw a vole crawling into a hole near a plant, so I decided to buy a mouse trap I put a carrot in the trap and the hunt was successful I am the alpha predator in my garden... At the same time, while digging holes, I saved about 20 caterpillars that fell down and could not climb out It turned out that caterpillars are a very rare butterfly that almost never occurs I really like butterflies, when I take a picture of them on my plants I attach a photo from last season

HELLO GROWING FRIENDS - Please look at my Aftermovie Growvideo, which cost me about 4 hours to create. hope you like it! Day 72: The Finale 🌿🌟 It’s finally time. My very first grow is coming to an end—at least the cultivation phase. The plant is now ready for harvest, and I can’t believe how incredible this journey has been. I never expected to enjoy the whole process so much—from nurturing the plants to watching them grow and evolve. I’m absolutely hooked and can’t wait to dive into the next steps: harvesting, drying, curing, and of course, starting a new grow soon with fresh ideas and experiments! While it may not be the largest yield, the quality of the buds speaks for itself. The time, love, and care I’ve put into this grow is visible, and I’m pretty proud of the results. I’ll admit, I was a bit impatient at times (which I think every first-timer can relate to 😅), but the experience was priceless. Here are a few interesting highlights from my trimming and harvest process: 1️⃣ Dark Phase Before Harvest Two days before harvest, I put the plant in complete darkness to encourage resin production. I'm not sure if it really made a difference, but it was worth trying! 2️⃣ Wet Trim vs. Dry Trim I decided to go for a wet trim because the buds were really dense, and I wanted to avoid any risk of mold. I’ve read that wet trimming can speed up drying and may slightly impact the quality, but this is part of the learning experience. Next time, I’ll try a dry trim for comparison! 3️⃣ Yield Update Wet, the total came in at 209 grams from my plant. Trimming took around three hours, and it was actually a lot of fun, despite the time commitment. 4️⃣ Curing Plan The buds are now hanging in the tent for about 8 days. Once dried, they’ll go into jars with Boveda Packs (62% humidity) for another 3 weeks of curing. I'll update the smoke report once they’re fully cured, but I’ve already had a sample of the same strain from a friend, and I can say it’s pretty amazing. Final Thoughts on My Grow 🌱✨ As mentioned earlier, this grow has been an absolutely incredible experience, and it has definitely set me on a path to jump right into my next grow. There were ups and downs along the way, such as over-pruning, which I believe stressed the plants a bit. Additionally, I think they could have benefited from an extra week to mature. We also faced many temperature fluctuations this summer, which impacted the plants due to external weather conditions. I’m really pleased with the quality of the buds. The quantity is okay—I can’t fully gauge it yet—but I’m sure there’s more potential to unlock. I’ve gained valuable experience in what worked well and what didn’t. Overall, the countless lessons learned during this grow far outweigh the few mistakes made. I’m incredibly proud of my first results! As this long journey comes to an end, I want to thank everyone who followed along. I hope you enjoyed all the content. In that spirit, happy growing, and see you next time! 🌟

Dense rounded buds everywhere, getting frostier day after day! A few more weeks and I'll be doing some water hash with her sugar leaves, they are covered with resin so I got myself some Ice-o'lator bags. Wait and see! 👌

Rolling through week 4 of flowering for the first rhino Ryder and white Russian things are starting to look good ! Rhino Ryder 2 coming to and end of week 2 of flowering not to far behind the other two glad all plants are pulling through strong !! Same ratio with nutrients temps between 72 and 77 and humidty between 30 to 50% Smell is pretty strong would say 6.5 outta ten ! Water every 3 days 2 gals a week pretty much using Poland spring natural water for now. Check out the rest on my Instagram bakeryguy420 doing my first give away for seeds and glass spoon Some updates photos towards the end of the week and some videos!!

Harvested Shiva Skunk, Zombie Kush and Sweet Love.

Hulkberries are easy to grow. All seeds germianted, all Seedlings showed up and then they went into overdrive. Turned out as Big Plants, with sticky and dense Nugs on the COlas NO Training on them. Super structured Plants perfect Ratio from Leaves to Buds

16.2 inches/week Usual summer week here in the south, every day above 86 ° F (max 100 ° F) Pineapple is beast, can tolerate everything and is grown almost 2 inches per day drinking 2 gallons per day of spring water showing only few signs of heat stress. She's in full stretch and had fill every spaces with her thick branches . I fed her half the recommended dose of Biobizz Grow 'cause is too hot and don't want to burn her. I think we are 10-14 days before flowering. I covered her with a PVC net in order to give her a little shield from the sun and give me more privacy ;-)

soo one was way more photogenic than the other,AGAIN. 😅 I'm proud of me😁😁 oh and how DOPE is the timelapse? 🤯🔥🔥🔥

I love growing its a big passion of mine , and the fact that GD exists makes everything so much better, one can interact with others and enjoy and learn from each others. Thank you all growers love and keep them green <3 <3 <3

Not really much going on here, plant did not grow much because of some defolation work i did this week, looks healthy and glad tho. Next sunday i will switch lights, what do you think about going 16-8, 14-10, 12-12 weeks?

Hi there, She is doing good so far. Topped her today at day 12. Exited to see if my pheno will be a purple one :) Have a nice day! Adding Progress pictures the next days.

GOOD WEEK 4 EVERYBODY 😎 !!!! Starting today Week 4, girls are pretty well since last week, the problem of development was because i had the Humidifier to closer this two girls and very high humidity. All the system controlled by --> GROLAB + modules: 3x irrigations a day 400ml total 4x day CO2 until 1000ppm, with light ON Nutrition: REMO Nutrients entire line Thank you all, have a Aswome WEEK.

My First Autoflower Growing Indoor 🌸 Finally! I've decided to document my very first autoflower growing experience, starting from scratch with a 60×50×104 cm growbox. It's small, I know, but perfect for learning the ropes and figuring out how everything works. Reality Check: My First Tests During preliminary tests, I discovered something interesting and slightly concerning: starting from 26°C room temperature with the AC running, my growbox hits 28-29°C in about 2.5-3 hours. The maximum peak? A whopping 32°C with lights on and the box fully closed! For now, I've put a damp towel inside - sounds like a DIY hack, but it actually works to stabilize temperatures a bit and reduce those thermal swings. The Economics of It All Smart plugs let me monitor power consumption in real-time - currently running about €0.11/kWh. In a few weeks, I'll have to turn off the AC (my wallet will thank me!), so the first weeks will be characterized by high temperatures around 30-31°C. Fortunately, September and October should bring cooler conditions. My Germination Strategy During germination, I'll keep the lamp 60 cm from the seedlings - that's the maximum height I can manage in this box, but it should minimize light and heat stress on those emerging roots. Later, when the plants are stronger, I'll transfer them to the larger 60×60×180 cm growbox. Oh, almost forgot! A 350 ml/h ultrasonic humidifier is on its way, which should give me much more precise humidity control. My Current Setup The Growbox: 60×50×104 cm - perfect for two autoflowers in 6.5L pots using LST (Low Stress Training). Lighting: Spider Farmer SF-1000D suspended via pulley system near the ceiling, with about 4-5 cm clearance for heat dissipation. Ventilation: 130 m³/h extractor (4" diameter) that expels hot, humid air directly out the window - genius for preventing the room from becoming an oven! Plus a USB clip fan for internal air circulation. Climate: Ambient temperature stable around 26°C; inside the box 27-28°C without lights, jumping to 32°C when they're on. Substrate: BioBizz Light Mix combined with leftover perlite I had - exact quantity will depend on what's available, aiming for the right balance between aerated structure and water retention capacity. Nutrition: BioBizz Fish-Mix for vegetative growth, plus Grow and Bloom. pH maintained between 6.2-6.5. No CalMag for now. Monitoring: Two digital hygrometers connected to an app - one inside the growbox, one in the room. So I can check everything from my phone! Humidification: Two traditional humidifiers, plus the ultrasonic one coming for finer control. My Observations and The Plan The ventilation system works well - it manages to prevent heat and humidity from building up both in the box and the room. That's a win! The germination strategy is simple: lamp at 60 cm and hope for the best. The first weeks will be challenging with those high temperatures (30-31°C) when I turn off the AC, but then autumn should help me out. The plan is to grow the seedlings in the small box, then transfer them to the big one for flowering. Meanwhile, I'm monitoring everything: temperature, humidity, power consumption. The goal is to optimize the on/off cycles. Final Thoughts This first cycle is more of a technical experiment - I want to understand how to manage climate and lighting, stabilize temperature and humidity according to what the plants will ask for at each stage. The transfer to the larger box and winter approaching should improve conditions for optimal growth and flowering. I'll update this diary with all the quantitative data: yields, organoleptic characteristics, setup modifications. It'll be interesting to see how this first adventure turns out! Stay tuned for the next update! Ps: there is also a hole where the air enters passively, only it is hidden by the fan ❤️ 😅 ==UPDATE== BY INSERTING AN ULTRASONIC HUMIDIFIER I ACHIEVED THESE RESULTS, WHICH IS PERFECT 🌡️ Temperature: 23.3°C / 73.9°F 💧 Dew Point: 16.0°C / 60.8°F 💧 Relative Humidity: 63.6% ☁️ Absolute Humidity: 13.3 g/m³ 💨 Vapor Pressure: 18.2 mbar 🌱 VPD (Water Stress): 0.66 kPa 💨 Air Density: 0.012 kg/m³ ✅ Comfort Index: 100/100 🌿 Heat Stress: ✅ Optimal 🔋 Battery: 100% ⏰ Last update: 08/17/2025 12:49:35 I created a Python script that, starting with just 2–3 parameters measured by my Govee H5075 hygrometer, uses real scientific formulas to calculate all the other environmental values. This way, I can monitor my grow box much more effectively! I knew AI and programming skills would come in handy for this too lol ❤️🤣 ==UPDATE 22 AUGUST== Photoperiod: ➜ Emergence (day 0): 1 day without artificial light. ➜ Days 1–2: indirect natural light from the window. ➜ 17 August: first day under the lamp → 8 hours. ➜ 18 August: increased to 15 hours. ➜ From 19 August: stabilized at 16 hours of light per day, likely to remain this way due to practical reasons. Lamp distance: ➜ From 21 August: distance reduced from 60 cm to 50 cm → noticeable and more consistent growth. Plant status: ➜ Healthy plant with gradual growth. ➜ LST (Low Stress Training) will be applied in the next days to control height and shape. Watering & nutrients: ➜ Method: Med-Man. ➜ Water at 130 ppm, pH between 5.8–6.0. ➜ From 22 August: start of light foliar spraying (10 minutes before lights on) with pH 6.0, using a mixture of 3 parts water : 1 part Grow fertilizer. ➜ Purpose: slightly stimulate the plant during the early growth stage. Internal climate: ➜ Average temperature: 26–27 °C, with peaks up to 28–29 °C when the air conditioner is off. ➜ Humidity: kept stable using humidifier + damp cloth inside the box, which lowers temperature slightly and stabilizes the environment. Planned improvements: ➜ Purchase of: ➜ Dehumidifier for better humidity control. ➜ Wi-Fi hygrometer for more precise monitoring. ➜ Adjustable extractor fan, to better manage airflow and reduce nighttime noise.

May9 May10 - growth around where I topped is flying - i've raised up the light another bit May11 - 250ml water May12 May13 - 250ml with 0.5ml of biobizz grow, growth was mad there around the 10th, but its a bit slower now May14 - took out all of the bigger leaves, removed some of the smaller leaves along some of the stronger looking lower branches to try to encourage more growth at the end bud site and used some flexible garden wire to do some LST May15 - watched a video about topping... decided to have a go
