As I did the flushing in day 68 I was watching the trichomes and on day 87 I could see 25-35% amber so I decided to cut it. I cut the whole plant on the base and hang them all to dry. For this reason I will update my findings later when it gets dry and trimmed. So far really happy with the results. It won’t yield much but the quality is impressive

love this strain. It survived 2 weeks of cold and rain late flower without any mildew or mold. all my other strains got PM that week. I expected the yield to be a little bigger but can't complain. amazing, smooth high.

Performed some light lst and topped all plants, then feed some recharge. They bounced back pretty fast they didn’t show no signs of stress so that’s a good thing. I’m give them one more week in the 1 gallons and then transplant to 3 gallon Keep up this grow is epic

New update for week 12, concluding week 8 of flowering: Hi(gh) Folks! Thanks everyone for your input on my second grow question. I’m going for HighTV’s answer, the SOG with 9x4 main buds. Very nice to get everyone’s input on this, appreciate it! So another week done! They got their last nutrients Tuesday and on Thursday the 5 early ladies from Hempire got their first round of plain acidulated water. I flushed them a bit on Friday and Saturday to. Now they can dry out for a couple of days. I will flush them for the upcoming week and let them dry out before harvest next weekend. Im counting on them to swell up even further during this week. As for the rest of the 4 plants from Hempire, 4 from Royal Queen Seeds and 3 from Hy-Seeds, I will treat them as if this is another week 8, and they will get another dose of Flowering nutrients and PK. Then next week I will start to flush them also. I will have 2 full weeks to flush and let them dry out until my planned harvest on Saturday 5 January. I’m not even sure that will be early enough for the 4 RQS’s since they look like they have even more bud-growing to do, before they can start swelling! I will keep an eye on that. The 5 tall ladies, 2 from Hempire and 3 from Hy-Seeds show the nice thick Kushy buds i’m craving for, can’t wait to see the becoming nice and heavy! On the photos you see the slight diverence between the pheno’s, the left 2 plants grew the popcorn-buds on a stem, and the right ones have nice thick popcornbuds against the stem’s. The other to remaining Hempire plants also show these, apart from the early ladies offcourse. The early birds show a little stretching buds and nice purple colours. So next week will see the early ladies harvested, I hope? Look out for my next update and don’t forget to like! Thanks and see you!

Week 12 over! Cant believe how fast this last 3 months has gone! My 6 ladies are powering on and just keep getting bigger and bigger. They have had 2 nute feeds this week and now 2 flush feeds. Planning on going with a 10 day flush. I will continue to upload pictures throughout the week as I'll be asking for a experienced opinion on when to chop. So far I'm seeing literally 1 or 2 amber trichs on the biggest of the 6 but no anywhere else. I'm thinking this is a good sign that my target of cropping next Sunday is still on track. That would be exactly 13 weeks. Buds are looking so so dense. Hard to get a photo that does them justice but the biggest colas are 75mm thick! If your here then please also check out my new diaries where I'm running 3 FastBuds strains. These will be going in my environment as soon as the stardawgs are jarred up.

Week 7 Veg Report 🌿✨ Hey Grow Fam! 🌱 Week 7 of veg is here, and let me tell you, the grow room is buzzing with life! Each of the girls is showing off her unique personality, and I’m especially stoked about the Papaya Zoap—she’s really coming into her own! The scrog net is nearly filled out just how I wanted it, and I can feel we’re so close to flipping to flower. The anticipation is real! 😁 But before we get to flowering, let’s take a dive into something that makes this grow so smooth—ThinkGrow LED drivers and cables. ThinkGrow LED Drivers – Plugging Into Success 💡🔗 This week, I had a chance to work deeper with the ThinkGrow LED system, and honestly, it’s like a dream come true for efficiency. I’ve been using the TLD-4 Four Spectrum Control Channels Model One LED Driver, and let me break down how it works. The drivers attach directly to the bars—super sleek and no extra bulk. And, the connections? It’s a matter of matching the male and female connectors on the TDC-2 Daisy Chain Cord. It’s like a simple puzzle that snaps together perfectly. The TDC-4 cord takes it to the next level, connecting the top bars to the ICL-300 Inner-Canopy LED Bar, giving complete control and balance across every layer of my canopy. Why is this important? The driver-to-bar connection ensures that each LED bar is operating optimally, and the daisy-chain system makes it effortless to manage multiple bars without a ton of wires everywhere. It’s neat, efficient, and delivers even light distribution, which my plants are loving! 🌞 Are My Girls Ready for Flower? 🌸 When I look at the plants up close, it’s like they’re whispering, “Flip me to flower already!” 😆 Their growth has been so vigorous, each filling out the space with character, and that scrog net is almost fully covered. So, I’m thinking we’re super close to the big switch. Each plant has its own pace, but as a whole, the grow is looking fantastic! Room Stats – Tuning Into the Environment 🌡️ The TrolMaster system is still killing it with data and control, making it easier for me to keep everything balanced. Here’s a quick breakdown of the week’s environmental numbers, and a few jokes along the way! 😜 • Room Temps: Max 25.5°C | Min 24.4°C (Keeping it cool but not too chill!) • RH: Max 76.4% | Min 67.1% (Humidity stays right where it needs to be.) • CO2: Max 832 ppm | Min 420 ppm (Shout out to that magical 420! 🌬️😂) • VPD: Max 1.06 kPa | Min 0.64 kPa (All dialed in for peak veg mode.) Light Levels – All in the Details 💡 • Max PPFD: 506 | Min 0 (because, you know, when the lights are off, it’s dark! 🌚😆) Keeping the light intensity balanced, and using the ThinkGrow LED system to spread that goodness across the entire canopy, I’m seeing explosive growth. Those PPFD levels are perfect for this stage! Water & Nutrients – The Lifeline 💧 • Solution pH: Max 6.32 | Min 5.78 (Keeping it in the perfect range.) • TDS: 355 ppm steady (Every drop counts, right?) • Solution Temp: Max 23.5°C | Min 22.3°C (Keeping things cool, just like the grow!) And medium moisture? It’s a solid 100% thanks to my AutoPots and the genius of the AquaValve system. No electricity needed—just gravity doing its magic. It makes my life so much easier, and the girls are loving the consistent hydration! No more worrying about under- or over-watering. Why I’m Obsessed with TrolMaster 📱 I can’t talk about this grow without shouting out the TrolMaster system. Every bit of data—whether it’s temperature, RH, VPD, CO2, light intensity, or pH—gets tracked and displayed in real-time on my app. It’s like having a grow assistant in my pocket, making sure I can monitor and adjust at any moment. The level of control I get with TrolMaster is out of this world, and it’s helping me keep everything dialed in perfectly. Ready to Flip Soon 🌸 With the Papaya Zoap filling out so nicely and the rest of the plants following suit, I feel like we’re right on the edge of flipping to flower. It’s going to be a smooth transition, and I can’t wait to see these beauties bloom! Stay tuned for next week, where we might just make that flip! 😉 Environment Stats Recap 📊 • Room Temp: Max 25.5°C | Min 24.4°C • RH: Max 76.4% | Min 67.1% • CO2: Max 832 ppm | Min 420 ppm (Seriously, shoutout to 420 again! 😂) • VPD: Max 1.06 kPa | Min 0.64 kPa • Light PPFD: Max 506 | Min 0 (obviously, when the lights are off! 😜) • Solution pH: Max 6.32 | Min 5.78 • Solution Temp: Max 23.5°C | Min 22.3°C • Medium TDS: Max 430 | Min 420 (I can’t get enough of these 420 jokes! 😆) Final Thoughts 💚 This week has been a blast! Between the ThinkGrow LED system and the TrolMaster gear, I feel like I’m pushing the limits of what’s possible in indoor horticulture. Everything is dialed in, the plants are healthy, and the data just keeps showing that we’re right on track. Shout Outs! As always, huge thanks to TrolMaster and ThinkGrow LED for the amazing gear, to Aptus Holland for their top-notch nutrients and Pro-Mix for the best soil i have used so far.

Hello guys, today the plants reach end of week 7 of flower. Nr.2 is ripening pretty fast and Nr.1 had a little bit of a grow boost. I‘m not sure when to harvest them but i‘ll try to keep the temperature cool and the lights slightly higher. The leaves are taking a more yellowish colour. This run it doesn‘t seem that the buds are going to get purple but i won‘t give up hope yet. 🙏
