8/23 - End of Week 3. Going to start some top feeding at like half strength for the Fox Farm Soil schedule in next few days. Drinking well and consistently from the self-watering bases. Bugs seem to be under control but will probably add some bits to the bases to make sure the gnats don't resurface. Stalk is strong and looking good and a good amount of new growth after taking some fan leaves off yesterday to "top". CO2 levels looking a little better, opened another vent in the tent. 8/22 - Adjusted light down to 80% after getting a lux meter and checking the intensity. Soil PH is slighly acidic at 6.1. Got some phUp and phDown but haven't adjusted yet. Trimmed top 4 fan leaves to stall out the top stalk and open up the bottom branches a bit. Added a mushroom exhale bag to increase co2 levels, were sitting around 500 ppm before I added. 8/21 - Still drying out the self-watering base a bit, will add water today. Sides of fabric pot still a bit wet to the touch but I think that's just the active wicking going on. Thought the initial canoe'ing leaves were from overwatering when overfilling the self-watering base but now I think it has more to do w/ some shock from the thrips and 24 hour light, or perhaps a bit of sunburn from being sprayed w/ the neem oil / bug killer. 8/16 - Had to fight off some thrips and still dialing in the tent conditions. Might be a little overwatered currently.

🌸 Week 4 Flower Report: Growth, Challenges & Big Changes! 🌸 Hey, Grow Diaries Fam! ✨ We’re here at Week 4 of Flower, and what a week it’s been—packed with challenges, adjustments, and exciting progress! Before diving into the details, let’s start with a note on my flowering timeline. While this is Week 4, I don’t start counting flower days the moment I flip to 12/12. Instead, I wait for the plants to show true signs of bloom. It’s a small but significant distinction that keeps things accurate and aligned with the plants’ development. 🌱 Defoliation: Timing is Everything! Defoliation is a critical part of the flowering stage, and I typically wait until Day 21. However, this week, I tackled it earlier on Day 17 because: 1️⃣ The room was simply too full. 2️⃣ And most importantly—the Papaya Zoap had other plans! She’s a fighter—determined, defiant, and constantly reaching for the moon. Despite intense training like super cropping, she’s still pushing upward, nearly outpacing the LED lights. Challenges like this remind us of a simple truth: gardening mirrors life. It’s about resilience, adaptation, and unwavering determination. 💪 This week, I added a second SCROG layer. While this net will support the flowering colas, it’s also there to strategically manage the Papaya Zoap. Why? Because experience has taught me that if she grows out of the LED’s range, she won’t finish properly—and that could disrupt the balance for every other plant in the tent. It’s all about teamwork, even in the garden. 🌟 Defoliation was intense, removing nearly all the leaves with stems to clear space and boost airflow. The tent now looks dramatically different! For the full before-and-after transformation, be sure to check out my YouTube channel—trust me, you’ll want to see this process up close! 🎥✨ Switching to Aptus Holland Minerals A major milestone this week: I’ve transitioned entirely to Aptus Holland Minerals. 🌊 From now on, it’s just minerals—no more organic inputs. This marks the start of a new chapter, and I’m incredibly curious to see how the plants react to these changes. Here’s the current nutrient mix: • System Clean: 0.5 ml/L • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L • RO Water Conditioner: 0.8 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid: 2.1 ml/L I’m keeping the pH at 6.1 and TDS at 556 ppm, and so far, the plants are thriving. This week also included a thorough system clean, ensuring everything runs smoothly as we enter the final flowering stages. 🌿 Bud Development: Pure Magic! The bud formation across all the genetics is nothing short of incredible. Every plant is thriving, and the canopy is lush, vibrant, and full of potential. I’ve raised the PPFD to 750 for this stage, with temps steady at 25°C and RH at 63%—keeping the VPD dialed in at 1.11. The TrolMaster ecosystem, paired with the AutoPots, makes managing these precise conditions seamless. With more time to focus on the plants, I can give them the daily care they deserve. 💚 Shoutouts & Gratitude A huge thank you to my sponsors and supporters: TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Pro-Mix, Cannakan, and the amazing seed banks. Your incredible products and technology make this journey possible. 🌟 To the Grow Diaries community and all my followers—thank you for your energy, love, and even the challenges from the haters. It all fuels this incredible process, and I apprecilove every bit of it. Special shoutout to Brother Daggadna—check him out on Instagram and show some love! 💚 The plants are heading into the next phase of bloom, and I can’t wait to share how this story unfolds. 🌸✨ As always, stay tuned, stay positive, and let’s keep growing strong together! 🙌 Growers’ love to all 💚 #TrolMaster #AptusHolland #GrowLife #CannabisCommunity #FlowerWeek4 #NeverGiveUp #GrowWithLove #IndoorHorticulture #Defoliation #PPFD #ControlledEnvironment #SCROGNet #DogDoctorOfficial Discount Codes so you can save big on your next check out 💚💚💚 Kannabia - DOGDOCTOR 30% off SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off CannaKan- DOGDOCTOR 15% off terpyz.eu - DOCTOR 15% off The Neutralizer - PORKIT5-DOG 15% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏
 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚 Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love to you all 💚💚💚 P.S. – A Deep Dive into the ICL-300: Revolutionizing Under-Canopy Lighting The ICL-300 isn’t just another LED—it’s a game-changer for under-canopy lighting. Unlike traditional LED systems that project light in a single direction, the ICL-300’s 300-degree design ensures even light distribution beneath the canopy. 🌟 This unique feature means that no part of your plant is left in shadow, creating a balanced environment for lower buds to thrive. Key Tech Specs & Benefits: • 300-Degree Light Distribution: This design fills the under-canopy space with optimal light, enhancing photosynthesis where it often gets neglected. 🌱 • Full Spectrum Output: Tailored to meet the specific needs of plants at every stage, ensuring quality growth from base to apex. • Energy Efficiency: Advanced LED technology delivers maximum output with minimal energy usage, keeping costs down and sustainability up. 💡 • Durability & Heat Management: Built with high-quality materials, the ICL-300 stays cool and reliable, even in intense growing environments. Why It Matters: Under-canopy lighting is a game-changer for growers aiming to maximize yield and quality. Typically, lower buds receive less light, resulting in larfy or underdeveloped flowers. The ICL-300 changes that dynamic entirely by turning shadows into opportunity. 🌟 With light evenly dispersed across the entire plant, you’re not just growing; you’re sculpting a masterpiece. For me, the ICL-300 is more than a tool—it’s a partner in innovation. It ensures that every plant in my grow room has equal opportunity to shine, from the top colas to the smallest buds at the base. When paired with a carefully managed ecosystem, like the one powered by TrolMaster, the potential for consistent, top-quality harvests reaches new heights. This isn’t just about adding light—it’s about adding value, efficiency, and balance to the grow process. I’m beyond excited to see how the ICL-300 transforms the game in my tent, and I can’t wait to share the results with you all! 💚

Hello everyone Welcome 🙂 In the end I harvested at day seventy of flowering ✂️⚘ This strains was pretty easy to grow and doesn't stretch to much.. Internodes are very close , but onestly this I have to say happends mostly of the time thanks to infrared in led light.. In any case , she's a very good choise for indoor : 1: She produce a good amount od dense flowers and the central cola wasn't to much bigger respect the lower branches.. In fact, the central flower is practically the same size as the lower primary flowers 💪 The aroma is delicate , a little sweet and earthy with somnthing else.. Nice one cannabis flowers about smell and taste , but nothing to special , for my experience.. But onestly , one thing I really need to say it's, trichomes are pure glue 🔥 During I roll the joint for the taste test , I was have hard time due the stickiness.. Very difficult to close 😅 Not to much to see her finish burn 😎 Nice oil all around the ash , on the rolling paper.. Almost all white.. Smooth and clean.. Much better on the Mighty or on the Ghost mv1 And more potent 🚀👌 I usually vapes at the temperature around 177° to 195° , with Ghost 200° The effect is very calm , mellow state but you can do things or work out , it not knock you out 😁 At least on me About the Living Soil High-Brix recipe Loke I say week by week , for this lasy I have use a 20l geotextile pot with around 1/3 of the Living Soil I have made ( in this case in november 2019 ) Isn't a Super Soil subcool recipe or similar.. Trought this metodology we're not feeding the plants , but the soil.. Basycally the important things are principaly four Soil energy Cation exchange Microbial activity Mineral balance Soil energy is kept high with humus Cation exchange with rock powders Microbial activity is achieved with innoculants and some teas or other Mineral balance is achieved by adding the micronutes and having everything in the right ratio's For doing this I have use a base mostly of light-mix soil with already perlite inside ( classic cannabis soil ) coco nut humus zeolite then I have add Neem soil , Kelp , Krill , Azomite , Basalt , Gypsum , Calcium Carbonate , Phosforite , Alfalfa and Leonardite Then I was have "cooking" it for a month an half.. And this was the engine that allowed the plant to stay in constant health, keeping the Brix level high 🌋 During the flowering time I have add mostly only water , one times a week with molasses for feeding the microbs.. I have also make a humus/nutrient tea for she and her sisters , just one time.. I'm feel good doing in this way , like it and I understand so many more things about the lives into the ground in general.. But just for be precis For having the high brix in plants we can not just have a good soil but everything around her , the envroiment , especyally in indoor.. And obviously a fundamental it's First , great strain 💪🌳🔥 Second , love Anyway.. At the end she was produces around 29g of flowers dryed , manicured and cured for about one month and a weeks.. Good strain.. And thats all for this diary thank you so much at all supporter during the grow , or only now : 1:: 1: 🙏 See you somewhere 😎 Always growing 🌱🌳🔥 Ciao ✌️ 🇮🇹 BONUS I have also growing the same strain but in different ways.. Here is the link below 👇 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/48209-barney-039-s-farm-dos-si-dos-33-grow-journal-by-funclouds And I have using the same type of "Living Soil High-Brix" with this other lady , Blue Gelato #41 👇 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/46282-barney-039-s-farm-blue-gelato-41-grow-journal-by-fun-clouds

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making their way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying position all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 A little worried today her birth Twin the BA I am growing out is looking great and is raised towards the light and this one is just slightly under.. Will keep an eye on Her. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 Walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. Also looking at the roots and she has some poking out the bottom but just not in the water yet.. Luckily we are set for 14 days before next water change so the system will stay stable and her sister already has roots in the water so she should only be a day or two behind.. we will just keep tracking but she is delayed. Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Roots in the Water!!! Huston, we have a successful launch. This grow is on! Humidity was a little low this morning so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that the temp looks great, the PH looks good, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning from over filling the cloning machine seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started. Everything for growth and environment is looking good and on track, there are a couple of mutations with this Lady will keep an eye on those leaves. IMO this grow is going A lot during this week 1 then week 1 of the last grow when I had them drowning. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

6th week of flowering. The flowers are almost fully formed, they just need to fatten up and share. It's noticeable that they're drinking a lot of water and also that it's hotter than the previous months, so it evaporates faster.

Another week of growth in the books here. I am loving the flowers peyote forum is putting off. Starting to see some purple colours starting on these plant. Also noticing one of the plants starting to lose its colour which has me concerned as I saw some bugs on this plant a few weeks ago and sprayed for them, something to keep an eye on moving forward. I top dressed these plants with 1 tbsp/gallon of Power Bloom and hit them with a compost tea made up of worm castings, Bokashi Pro Gro, Molasses and Bat Guano. This will be the last feeding I give these plants.

Day 109 Its time to harvest the Juicy Zkittlez from seedsman 😇😇. I loved doing this project and it was my first try with my training on an autoflower, it was really motivating. A compact and frosty circle of heads, I couldn't have asked for better. So heavy that I had difficulty holding it with one hand for photos. Training : She received my hand manipulation training from the 8th day. I cut the head on day 19 to have my base on a manifold and work more quickly on my 4 main branches. Then I continued my training as much as possible to develop the structure before installing the scrog. I made a summary of photos on week 5 of flowering to see the evolution. Harvest I harvested almost 11 ounce , 10 ounce and 23 g. My training was based on quality and I'm really not disappointed with the minimum amount of nutrients she received. And it wasn't perfect for the first try with my new equipment.

Extrema producción de tricomas de esta variedad! Gran parte de los frutos lo usaré para extraer rosin, su resina se ve ideal para este propósito. Fragancia exquisita a ponche de fruta dulce, con notas ácidas y un fondo de especias. Como mencioné anteriormente dejaré la parte de la reseña de efectos, sabores y sensaciones para cuando los cogollos estén secos y curados, por ahora solo puedo apreciar lo que mi vista y olfato me permiten captar. Totalmente conforme por la calidad de estas flores y agradecido de los amigos de Sweet Seeds por la confianza. Será hasta la cata entonces, buenos humos!

I cutted off the main cola of GG accidentally, so we have GG LST, GG LST + topping and LH growing naturally. Rain days/no sunny days they stay indoors as u can see. (20hours indoors 400HPS and 12 hours outdoors direct sunlight) Gonna decrease nutrients because of the apparence of the leaves, "plastic leaves effect" let me know what u will do in comments ! DAY 39 AND 40 GORILLAS AND DAY 30 LH 18/04/2020 day 35 of LH and day 44 and 45 of the gorillas. They starting the full bloom and swating crystals. Smell increased considerably. I water more nowadays because she drinks a lot ! enjoy todays vid in the terrace :D
