[ Information ] For all grow information, including strain and room details, please see the first week of veg. [ Updates ] (Flower) Day 1 - Light intensity increased to 65%. C02 increased to 1300ppm average. Day temp/humidity 85/70 (1-1.2VPD), night temp/humidity 75/65 (.8-1VPD). Fed a diluted compost tea mixture before lights on. Base water was R/O and tap water mixed lightly with silica and Tribus microbes. Tea was a mixture of Fish Hydrolysate, Bat Guano, Molasses, Fulvic/Humic, Kelp, and Earthworm Castings. 8 gallons of tea were added to 72 gallons of water mixture for an 80gal batch total. The batch was mixed for a half hour before feeding to the room. I did not PH or PPM test the mixture, organic material is hard to get an accurate PPM reading so the numbers are useless to me. I will be working to bring the lights to 100% power over this first week of flower. Day 4 - Light intensity increased daily, currently at 90%. Will raise to full power tomorrow. C02 increased to 1800ppm average. Temp and humidity for day and night are still the same. Lights were raised slightly to maintain 12 inches from canopy height, and a few growth nodes that were above the canopy got topped. Watered today with an 80gal (1.25gal p/pot) mixture, 10% tap 90% r/o water. 6.8 PH, 2.2ec. Foliar sprayed yesterday before lights off with a neem mixture for weekly IPM. Canopies are stretching relatively evenly, though I will be adding in support nets within a few days to help maintain the even spread. I've run this strain before so I'm fairly confident that I know what to expect during these few stretch weeks. Day 7 - Lights have been at 100% since day 5. C02 still 1800-2000ppm on average. Plants are stretching quickly into the lights, I have yet to readjust their height. The best growth usually happens when I do nothing, and I've done almost nothing the past couple days besides enjoy the unusually warm spring weather my area is currently experiencing. Watered today, 100gal (1.5gal p/pot) mixture, <1ec. Mainly an organic feeding for microbe health, also wanted a bit more runoff than normal due to the high ec feeding previously.

Day 56 Flowering: This week has been a great week to understand the difference between strains. now close to finishing , it is clear to see how different the bids can look to each other dependant on lineages too. Six shooter has really surprised me with her rapid gains in bud girth. She has seemed to be a lot smaller and somehow stunted for most of the grow. This week has changed her completely, even down to her lower buds which also look a lot thicker than a few days ago. with approx 12 days to go, she could be one of the contenders for yield. She is also very frosty looking now with a nice sweet hit to her. Strawberry Pie is really starting to colour her buds up now and even though they are not joined up colas , each clump looks to be fairly dense and heavy. The buds under direct light at the top look less chunky than the lowers with her too which is a first for me. The light is penerrating lower than I thought due to the structure she has. There are some nice looking lowers just putting new pistils out so she may go a little longer than her 8 weeks stated. Mexican Airline is my secret favourite this run. Hwr bids are stunning looking spiky ,bursts of colour now and with a little longer to go , I wonder how she will look with even more ripening and fattening out. She is a very tall plant and i will train better for the next time I grow this strain. I have had to support a couple of the limbs now as they want to fall with the weight of the buds . I am on standby with more yoyo's if I need them. lol These have been a pleasure to grow as expected and I am now popping some Fast buds Cream cookies auto ( x2) to run next. I dont doubt they will be great to grow. be safe and free growmies.

Second week of flower and I defoliated again. There are small bud sites starting to form at the end of week two flower. The apple fritter has fascination which is making the stems grow interestingly with lots of bud sites.

1/23/23 Well everything’s in flower now so I’m changing the journal to flower in the perpetual garden. Added humidifier. I top dressed everything w buildasoil top dress and build a bloom. Watering everything w the Q watering agent as well. It’s all taking off beautifully. I tossed a buncha lady bugs in there to help w the thrips. Also got spinosad but not sure if I can use it now with the lady bugs. We’ll see how it goes this week. Mandarin cookie Doing well, bushing out and up more. Stopped lst bc it’s getting very bushy and I need to defoliate. But waiting until there’s more stretch bc it’s a small little bush and I don’t want to take away too many fan leaves bc they have thrips. Would rather allow for more light to be absorbed. Head knock Looking like the best one after it was the safest! So much flower so many trichs. Fan leaves are all sorts of colors. It’s really poppin off. I defóliate da but so the lower flowers could pop through and they’re really colorful. I’d grow this guy again for sure. Might actually see it there are anymore clones avail. Headknock 2 We got big in veg. Defoliated a bit and got it to a great place before moving to flower tent. But ultimately I’m ready to flip it even if it’s kinda smaller than I’d want. Probably need a stronger light in veg tent to keep them up to par when moving to flower. Pre bloomed and moved to flower. Haven’t seen any trichs but it’s only been in flower since Sunday. Secret scone Finally looking like it’s supposed to with happy buds and flowers coming along. Thrips really. Did some damage to this guy and he went thru it with all the mishaps since September. Finally looking good. Sabowaka Tepremental little bitch. Starting to show trichs. Gave it too much water and it was sitting next to humidifier tube so old growth was not looking too hot. Cutting back in water bc he wonders drink fast enough. As Barnyard apples Got massive in veg just like headknock. Really happy with it and can’t wait to see how it flowers over the next month.

Holy smokes! This plant was a monster to keep alive during flower. So many different unsolved problems. Oh well. These flowers shrunk about 80% in size but sweet Mary Josephine are they dense! The smell is overpowering, the smoke is smooth, and the flavor is out there! These are definitely sativas. My first rip I washed dishes while doing calve squats. 10/10 would recommend.

🌱 Divine Seeds Week Five Report 🌱 Hey, fellow growers! 🌿✨ Welcome back to our weekly update on the Divine Seeds journey. We’ve now entered Week Five, and all our plants are in the flowering stage. This week brought some necessary changes as we adjusted the light schedule to 12/12 due to the rapid growth of our Big Demon. Here’s the latest on our Moon Rock, Opium, and Big Demon plants. 🌟 Week Five Highlights 🌟 All plants are now officially in the flowering stage, and we made an important adjustment to our light schedule to accommodate the vigorous growth of the Big Demon. Here’s a detailed look at each plant’s progress: 1. Moon Rock 🚀 • Growth: Maintaining its compact and sturdy structure. • Flowering: Buds are developing nicely, with a healthy formation and density. • Notes: Moon Rock remains strong and healthy, adapting well to the 12/12 light schedule. 2. Opium 🌸 • Growth: Balanced growth with a steady flowering transition. • Flowering: Buds are forming uniformly, showing excellent health and structure. • Notes: Opium continues to flourish gracefully, with beautiful bud development. 3. Big Demon 💪 • Growth: Rapid and robust, necessitating a change in light schedule. • Flowering: Finally transitioning into flowering, with buds beginning to form. • Notes: Big Demon’s vigorous growth prompted the switch to a 12/12 light schedule to manage its size and ensure it flowers properly. 🌟 Light Schedule Adjustment 🌟 Due to Big Demon’s impressive and rapid growth, we decided to switch to a 12/12 light schedule. Here’s why: • Inducing Flowering: The 12/12 schedule simulates the natural shortening of days, signaling to the plants that it’s time to flower. This is crucial for photoperiod strains like Big Demon ( yes she turned out not an auto). • Managing Plant Size: Big Demon’s rapid growth risked outgrowing the grow space. Switching to 12/12 helps control its size by focusing energy on flowering rather than continued vegetative growth. • Uniform Development: Ensuring all plants are on the same light schedule helps maintain uniformity in the grow room, making it easier to manage and monitor their progress. 🌟 Environmental and Nutrient Strategy 🌟 Our current environmental parameters and nutrient strategy remain consistent: • Water: • TDS: 400 ppm • pH: 6.2 • Temperature: 18°C • Grow Room Conditions: • Temperature: 30.3°C • Relative Humidity (RH): 51% 🌟 LED Lighting and Control System 🌟 We continue to rely on the Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro LED to provide optimal lighting. This LED delivers a balanced spectrum and ensures even light distribution across our canopy, which is crucial during the flowering stage. The TrolMaster Hydro X controller with its 3-in-1 sensor for temperature, humidity, and light detection helps us maintain ideal growing conditions. This system ensures our plants receive the perfect environment for healthy growth and flowering. 🌟 Nutrient Strategy 🌟 Our feeding regimen includes: • Regulator (0.15ml/L): To reduce stress and improve overall plant health. • CaMg-Boost (0.25ml/L): To provide essential calcium and magnesium, supporting strong cell wall development and photosynthesis. The rich organic soil, combined with these supplements, continues to support robust growth and healthy flowering. 🌟 Key Observations 🌟 • Plant Health: All plants are super healthy, with no signs of nutrient deficiencies or stress. • Growth Patterns: Moon Rock remains the most compact, Opium is gracefully flowering, and Big Demon is transitioning into flowering after the light schedule change. • Environmental Control: The grow room conditions are stable, with ideal temperature and humidity levels supporting healthy development. 🌱 Next Steps 🌱 As we move further into the flowering stage, our focus will be on: • Monitoring Bud Development: Keeping a close eye on bud formation and ensuring optimal conditions for flowering. • Adjusting Nutrients as Needed: Observing plant responses and adjusting the nutrient regimen if necessary. • Maintaining Optimal Conditions: Continuing to use the Lumatek LED and TrolMaster controller to ensure perfect growing conditions. Stay tuned for more updates as our Divine Seeds continue to flourish in the flowering stage. We’re excited to see the results of the 12/12 light schedule and share every milestone with you on this incredible journey! Happy growing, and may your gardens be ever green! 🌿💚 #DivineSeeds #WeekFiveVegReport #FloweringStage #AptusHolland #MoonRock #Opium #BigDemon #GrowDiaries #PlantMagic #GreenThumb #Inspiration #LumatekZeus #TrolMasterHydroX Germination method 🌱 @thecannakan Genetics @divine.seeds Nutrition @aptusholland 🌿 @aptus_world 🌎 @aptus_es 🌍 @aptusbrasil 🌱 @aptus_thailand 🌿 @aptus_portugal 🌳 @aptususa_officiala 🍀 @aptusplanttechnz 🌺 @aptusplanttechaus 🍃 Ambient controls🎮 @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro Soil @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis LED - @lumatekeu Watering- @autopot_usa @autopot_global Love and attention- @dogdoctorofficial #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trolmaster #trolmastereurope #trolmastersecrets #Autopots #GreenJoy 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 💚 More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found ⬆️link in the profile description ⬆️ Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All 💚

Been too busy to update the last few weeks, but they’re surviving longer then I expected. When I received my new light I did not take in consideration of the heat output and within the first night of use the tent reached a scorching 88 degrees

Gone for a 3 days journey, I now can see that the girls has seriously grown !!!! great :) So much so I decided to try a bit of LST. My very first time ! 7 hours later, the 3 plants has fully recovered their position, strait to the sky ! amazying. I feed them with the Biobizz nutrients and let them grow again. We'll sea ! If I believe what I can read on the web, the flowaring stage should start soon. Maybe in one or two weeks. So it's a perfect timing for them to grow more again before flowering after LST. D-34 : Looks like they are thirsty so I feed them one more (3 time this week) with BioBizz nutrients. The temperature is getting high in the box. Don't really know what to do... I'd like to avoid opening the tent becose of the cat (love to play with plants !) and the smell.
