🌸 Week 15 from Seed / Week 4 Flower – The Art of Defoliation 🌿 Welcome back to the journey of The White OG by Seedsman Seeds. This week marks a powerful turning point — the mid-flower defoliation — a sacred act of giving space, light, and breath to a girl who’s ready to bloom big. She’s thriving beautifully under the Future of Grow Black Series 600W system, and still running strong on the Aptus Clean Program: • Regulator • System Clean • RO Water Conditioner • All-in-One Liquid The mix lands with a pH of 5.97, an EC of 1.20, and water temp at 18.2°C — right on point. 🌬️ This week’s star event? A serious defoliation. We removed large fan leaves that were shading critical bud sites, allowing light to pour in and airflow to circulate. This isn’t just pruning — it’s breathing room. It’s strategy. It’s sculpting the future. She’s expressing herself now some funky leaf formations, even buds forming in the leaf base itself, a unique phenotype with personality. This is what makes each grow magical. Why defoliation now? • Week 4 is the sweet spot: flowers are forming, stretch is slowing, and now’s the time to open up the canopy without stressing her too much. • It increases light penetration and reduces risk of mold or pests by improving airflow. • It directs energy to the buds, not the blocked, lower leaves. And now she stands proud in her scrog net, breathing deep, stretching wide. She’s no longer hiding. She’s becoming. ⸻ Huge thanks as always to the amazing GrowDiaries community, to Seedsman, to Aptus Holland, to the Future of Grow team, To TrolMaster and to all of you: the followers, supporters, growers, learners, lovers, and even the haters — we grow together 🌱 💚 Come join the journey over on Instagram and YouTube — where the Dognabis Cup is blooming into something beautiful too.

Premise was to see how "optimal" i can get my first ever Grow. After some Research i came up with the idea to build an Aeroponic System myself using Water Buckets and Venturi Injektors to provider proper aeration. Sadly Seedlings had to wait in EazyCubes cause some parts and Nutrients didnt arrive on time. System was fully operationable on Day 16. Atami Nutrients are inside the System since Day 24, Calmag has been added Day 28. Before that, some Tri-part Nutrient. Planning on switching to Plagron in the Long run, as well as adding Co2, a water chiller and a ~700W LED. Stats: - 5 30L Buckets, 4 Plants and 1 Reservoir - Recirculation happens through 90mm PVC pipes - 16000 l/h pump going through 4x 1" Venturi Injektors pulling around 700 liters of Air per hour - 1mx1mx2m Growtent - 250W The Jackson Nemesis LED Happy about any Questions and Suggestions!

Scotts OG de Rare Dank, nos esperabamos una OG Kush típica poco ramificada y con corta flora, pero nos sorprendió que era bastante mas Sativa y ramificada! Se estira muchisimo en el cambio de fotoperiodo. Cogollos no muy compactos pero muy dulces, terroso, kushy, pino, cookies.. Muy vigorosa y muy buena para hacer clones! No soporta muy bien el estrés, altas Temperaturas o tierras con alto ec... Tiende a ponerse violeta con el frío

Bueno, así terminamos esta primera semana de flora. Muy feliz con ambas plantas. Muy fuertes. Cargado de nuevas enseñanzas y cada vez más ansioso de llegar a la cosecha. Aunque aún falta la mitad del proceso y la en parte la más difícil por temas de humedad ya que ha estado lloviendo mucho en mi ciudad y he tenido picos nocturnos de 85% aunque en parte es normal ya que estás dos primeras semanas con el corte de bajos y chiquitaje que no producirá nada ellas transpiran un poco más. Esperemos que esta semana se nivele un poco o en últimas tendré que conseguir el deshumidificador para las últimas semanas y pues nada más que agregar. Gracias por llegar hasta aquí nos veremos en la próxima semana antes de empezar a dar engorde para estos cogollos!

Not going to lie, with everything going on in the world right now, taking pictures of the plants was not high on my priority list. I basically snapped a couple of pics and took a couple of videos today and decided that will be it. This is not the place to get political, but I truly hope that against all odds by the time of my next post peace will have returned to Ukraine. In terms of the grow, plants seem to be doing great. Over the past couple of days, the buds have started to fatten up to the point where I think my yield will at least be on par with the last run. I'm still giving her another 3-4 weeks before I think they'll be finished up, but it honestly could be anywhere from 2-6 weeks, just have to wait and see. On a side note the plants are becoming more and more different, to the point where they don't even look like the same pheno. One plant has airy, larfy buds but has made some progress over past 24 hours towards tightening up a bit. The other plant has these fat, dense, stocky nugs that look very much like an indica strain, we will see how this affects the harvest. Thanks as always for taking the time to read my update, hoping for a more cheery update next week.

Another good and bad weed. Bad: Lost a LED and PC due to power surge!! Might be time to consider a proper UPS. Some issues with drain system changes, first iteration dumped 10 gallons of nutes into tent due to leaky fitting. Second iteration dropped another 10 gallons outside of tent due to the hose slipping out of nute res when draining. Some lessons learned. Good: Drain system finally hammered out properly, working great with no issues. No more grow room swimming pools. Ramblings: Humdity was nice and high in tent for some reason; probably something to do with nute swimming pool. Floors are nice and clean now, almost like they were freshly mopped. Ordered a samsung quantum LED light for replacing the fried LED. Installing for next week and flowering cycle switch. Overall the plants look healthy and no real issues despite my many attempts on killing them. The blurple vs white pics; was playing with HDR setting on camera; much better without purple.

The Sleepy Joe is doing nice. Slower budding and not as huge of bud as the rest., but let me tell you. These little nuggets are so dense that you can't squeeze the flower. Their like little rocks on the plant. When I swing the top branch, she has the weight of big flowers., she sways when the fan hits her. Dark leaves but no nitrogen toxicity, I think it may be normal for this strain. Not as big of plants as the other strains so would be great for small spaces. Not much of an odor that I can smell either, so another bonus for a stealth grow. A few more weeks to go. Thanks for the looks and likes my growpro's

Week 7 in the comedy of my garden journey, and my green squad has decided to embrace the art of being vertically challenged – they're like the plant version of a pocket-sized superhero team. "Short and sassy" seems to be their new motto. In an attempt to uplift their spirits, two of the ladies scored a new, roomier 3-gallon final home – it's like they moved from a cozy apartment to a botanical mansion, hoping a change of scenery would inspire some vertical ambition. They're probably comparing their new homes and deciding who has the fanciest leafy chandelier. However, the plot thickens as one plant emerges with a leafy fashion statement that's a bit too avant-garde – discoloration that could rival a Picasso painting. Is it a magnesium deficiency or an oxygen rebellion? The plant might as well be holding a tiny protest sign that says, "Give me answers or give me wilting!" Playing the role of a plant detective, I cranked up the fans, turning my grow tent into a botanical wind tunnel. It's like a leafy hurricane is sweeping through, and my plants are either loving the breeze or planning their escape. As a bonus, I threw in a leafy spa day – deformation and topping, because who doesn't love a good horticultural makeover? But wait, there's more! In the midst of the botanical sitcom, the humidity decided to play the villain in this leafy drama. It's like the humidity gauge is staging a rebellion of its own. So, armed with misters and perhaps a leafy motivational speech, I'm on a mission to turn my grow tent into a tropical paradise and give my plants the humidity vacation they didn't know they needed. Week 7 – where the plants are short, the homes are upgraded, the leaves are avant-garde, and the humidity is throwing a curveball. Stay tuned for the next episode of "The Green and the Humid" – because in the world of my garden, every week is a new episode filled with laughs, surprises, and a touch of leafy chaos! 🌿🌧️🎭

Plants started getting real bushy a couple of days after topping. Low Stress Trained all the plants at the end of the week by tying them down using rubber coated garden wire to spread out the newly grown tops. Also spaced out each plant evenly on the tray and turned on the other 2 PB2000 LED lights I had ready to go.

This lemon cheese is growing very well s lot of nice nugs covered in trichomes. The nutrients plan and watering schedule stayed the same as the previous week. I bought an electric microscope so expect trichomes pictures soon. 23/07 Update as promised I caught a couple trichomes pics and I can count 2 amber trichomes in the crowd, I will start flushing starting tomorrow

IVE MADE MORE VIDEOS BUT THEY JUST DON'T SEEM TO UPLOAD AND IT'S FAR TO SLOW TO DO IT FROM HOME 6/27 Made last week a five day week to get back on track. It's still overcast and rainy. It's not raining a lot bit it's consistent. Despite the weather the plants are doing phenomenal. I'll update later. It's 1pm. It's been raining consistently since 11. Just a sprinkle but it's steady. I'm going to begun uploading the weeks weather on my diary. I may start a new diary for the plants I light depped as they are flowering pretty good. Rain stopped and it's just overcast for now. I looked at some videos and did a comparison of videos one week ago and videos today and HOLY SHIT! WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Especially the light depped 10th planet. Well everything but that was the most significant difference. I'm astonished at the health and growth despite the crummy weather. Continued to rain. Just got harder. Plants are taking it but it's flooding underneath the pallets a little but it will be fine. The light dep however has me concerned. The 10th planet is looking spectacular. The bigger purple punch I'd looking good too. The smaller one though looks to have a pollen sack coming off one of the branches. Considering its not on the otherside I assume it's not just a swollen calyx. I don't mind chucking it especially if that means I don't hurt my other girls so I want to make sure. I sent videos to a few other growers and I'll add a question on here. Those three plants have been isolated from the rest for a few days due to rain. I have the suspect isolated alone until I can confirm. It sucks cause the light Depp was going good and the6ve all got little flowers. 6/28 Well that fucking sucks. ALL THREE plants I tried to light depp hermed on me. I could see male flowers. Luckily I had been keeping a really good eye on them and it was preflowers mostly. At least I caught it. One or two stamines on each plant. Would've been really easy to miss. Only one had STARTED to elongate into a stem so I think I caught it early enough. Plus since all this rain they've been kept in a different location then my big girls. Glad I did that now. Boy the roots looked good on those plants. I just grabbed the stalk and lifted and it came right out of the pot. I held it there admiring it for a minute. This sucks. At least the real plants are doing good. As far as I know. No male preflowers that's for sure. I've got some feedback from other growers and the videos are a little blurry but I had found a light leak and I'm certain these plants hermed. I know I could've tried to save them but I didn't want to risk it. I compared what I was seeing with Google photos and other websites. Aside from the larger ball with its stem, there were also several little bumps besides developed calyxes that were weaving into little buds. Trust me that I wouldn't cut down my plants if I wasn't 110% sure. I might've been able to "save them" but to me it's just not worth the risk. 6/29 I was second guessing myself pretty hard last night due to some responses I got on my light dep and messages I got from other growets. Made my anxiety horrible but I looked on several video's I'd taken again and I know what I saw. I felt better after that. This was after I researched and waited THREE days until I saw the ball on the stem and the groupings of small nubs under a fresh yellow flower. These plants were flowering good and it sucks to lose them. One MAY have been ok but one was a runt and had all the characteristics of a true hermaphrodite. They were only in 3's and I couldn't risk my harvest for an experiment. Still sucks. Oh well. Sun is starting to come out. Plants seem to be doing fantastic. I have one spot on a leaf that looks like a pillar munched on a leaf so I'll probably get the bt out soon as I have a dry day that I can apply it. I'll have to check the weather. I need to start a nute regiment but the plants aren't telling me they need anything yet. 6/30 I fucked up dates or dodnt do it yesterday or it didnt save right so I'm leaving this blank today is the 1st. 7/1 I have still only watered s couple times and I haven't had to feed. This week I'm going to start nutes. I had some external ersonal situations that have kept me from my plants. I'm hoping to get back on track. I noticed some pillar damage so I'll need to dig out the BT. This morning I saw this giant ground hog by my cage. Hated too but had to get rid of him. Of course some of the blowback landed on the leaves of one of my plants. I tried to clean it as best I could. Better than that fat bastard eating everything in one night. I broke a branch either falling around it or bulling through when I was pissed or I LST it the wrong way and the wind broke it against the tomato cage. Nice big branch too on top. I tried to fix it with duct tape but we'll see. The plants need me to spend sometime with them. I need to clean them up. Apply bt and give them their first feeding. I'll update as I go. They don't seem nutrient deficient by any means but I don't think it would hurt to start the nutes. 7/2 Bags were lighter today and if it wasn't going to rain tonight and tomorrow I'd he watering. Plants look great so soil isn't depleted yet I guess. They're growing rather rapidly. The branch I broke didnt make it. Had an idea it wouldn't but I had to try. I waited on the BT on account of the rain. I may go back over and change my mind and water with silica or a mild nute solution or maybe apply the BT. Depends what time I get back. I have some work I need to do over there. There's a few that I need to clean up the bottoms on. Pest damage is minor and limited to one or two plants and a leaf or two only. 7/3 More rain. It was supposed to rain this morning too but it didn't. We got .33in yesterday and through last night so I thought that was ok. Looking back on my previous diaries I'm doing things significantly different than before. I had used a lot more nutes earlier on. This morning I mixed two gallons of 2tsp of big bloom and fed it to the 9 plants in smart pots leaving the container plants as they have much more water in them. Looking back at other diaries I previously had, WPM and septoria by this time not to mention a shit ton of other pests I was fighting by this time. Since I poisoned where the cagexwas multiple times and sprayed the cage before it was moved I luckily don't have that problem yet knock on wood. I'm planning to apply BT tonight to deal with the moth larvae if there are any. I'm looking at plants around this area and im seeimg SOME septoria and pm on raspberry bushes and burdock so it is around. I made sure my cage is not by any other vegetation this year and is sitting on asphalt with the bags on raised pallets. Good thing I did or I guarantee they'd be flooded by now. I've been seeing multiple complaints from maine growers online (AND THEY HAVE HEALTHY PLANTS!) saying this is the worst year ever. Maybe they need a dose of fusarium oxysporum to keep them humble. This is maine. If you don't like the weather just wait five minutes. Meanwhile I'll be doing my sun dance hoping for sun. "Hard to grow cannabis with no sunlight" said another grower on my forum.
