Hola amigo! 💐 Quinta semana para estas Dos Green Crack F1 Automatic. 💐 _ CRIADERO DE ERIZOS _ Plantas bien rápidas, muy contento con cómo funciona. La línea de @xpertnutrients en el orden adecuado es muy estable! Trabaja en sincronía con el suelo vivo del fondo, que contiene la poca humedad de la maceta textil. Algunos tréboles quieren brotar en el bajomundo del sustrato pero el poco riego les limita. Ph: 6.1-6.5 EC: 700 PPM 020+/020- HR: 65% 5+5-. C⁰: 19-26% Manta térmica 24 x 7 con plato. . !! 19 hs 2 x TS600 + 18 hs 100watts led max dim !! . Los soportes laterales se encienden antes y se apagan más tarde que el led central en el ciclo lumínico diario 🤜🤛 🌅🌄🌌 PREGUNTA IMPORTANTE: Debería poner una lampara central más potente a partir de la cuarta semana de floración? Que recomiendas? Saludos gente buena y mucho ánimo a todos! ✌️

It is a very cool strain :) It is a bit difficult to raise, it likes the best conditions which unfortunately I can not create. Lighting betrayed me the most. The worst light bulbs that exist in the world folks are Quantum

Critical x Animal Cookies just got switched to ph water 4 days ago. I have her schedule to harvest in about 8 days. She grew well under the Hortibloom Solux 350. It was grower error that she is small. I will still get some frosty buds from her. Everything is looking great. Thank you Hortibloom, and Ripper Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏻❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Day 24-31 (Day 25) The smell in here is absolutely ridiculous. My last grow didn’t smell even close to this bad in early flower. (Day 27) Stretch is finally all done. #6 in the back is very stout and barely stretched compared to everything else. I doubt it will yield much but I’m excited to see the nice tight colas on it. It seems to be still getting adequate light and raising it up is hard to do with a scrog net so I will just leave it. If it wasn’t getting enough light it would be stretching right? The early frost is really shocking to me. My last indoor round definitely wasn’t this caked and I’ve never had an outdoor plant on this level either. That’s also true in terms of smell too. (Day 29) I’m still debating whether I should feed anything in flower or just leave it. The only deficiency I’m seeing is purple stems from P def which could actually just be from light intensity rather than a lack of P. I’ve done some thinking and I’ve decided to only feed my small plant. What I’m most curious about is if a PK boost will actually make any kind of a difference in flower when it comes to bud size and smokability. So to test this theory I will be top dressing a teaspoon of 0-18-0 bat guano, a tablespoon of 1-4-2 Destiny launch and a half strength watering of 0-0-15 kelp extract. I’m trying to avoid N all together as I just toxed my guinea pig plants with another experimental flowering PK boost that had a very small amount of N in it. This plant in particular actually has very early signs of N def and probably will fade harder than the rest. (Day 31) Shit. Looks like #1 is starting to herm. It’s definitely not environment or light leaks so maybe it’s just genetic or the recent leaching stressed it out too much. Either way, it’s only a single lower branch and I’m prepared to cut her down if I start seeing anymore. I double checked every other budsite but couldn’t find anymore. In my experience true herms usually start pushing bananas out of the main tops and plants like mine can usually be salvaged with little to no seeded bud. But then again it’s day 31, when these things usually start to happen. I’m 50/50 on this one. I will be watching it everyday like a hawk if anymore show up. The breeder I’m using, ‘Jordan of the Island’s’ is notorious for having unstable genetics and this will be the last time I run any of his stuff. The quality is good, certainly better than most European and Dutch genetics I’ve run but I know I could do better where genetics are concerned. I can’t wait to start hunting my archive dosidos x gelato 41 and in house sugarcane.

Critical purple kush is such an amazing plant. I got some great phenotypes from this batch. I have placed 5 of then into veg as mother's. I am astounded by the size of the buds on many of these plants. They are easily the largest I have ever grown. The smell if amazing like pineapples and fruit salad, the colors are phenomenal and show orange deep red pink purple green and more. I used super soil and they seemed to love it. I am very excited about my next round of purple kush because this one was so great. A few of these mother's will certainly be in my grow room for years to come.

🌸 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! 💚

Day 8: The true leaves seem to be more pale than before, but apparently that's normal. Day 10: Started doing timelapses, and added a small fan. Day 12: The plant seems to be growing faster and faster, I hope this behavior continues

I switched her to flowering. After returning from my Holiday I decided I would be moving cities. I wanted to veg her longer but switched the bulbs at 8 weeks. I am finally able to sleep in the dark! This rocks! Ive also been removing a lot of the excess leaf growth just to keep her fresh and not too crowded. The cardboard screen was removed and I used 4 chopsticks to press down on the lower branches and press the tops a little further apart; This really helped to space the branches out wider and allow light to breakthrough on some of the lower nodes. I started feeding her a little bit of molasses in her water, just to aid in the flowering. I also added wood ash to the top layer before watering. Also a little compost tea every now and then.

Eccoci qui... Per problemi di lavoro ho tardato un pò la pubblicazione delle foto, la piccola è molto vigorosa ed emana un forte odore.. Già si può vedere la resina che si inizia a formare sulle cime in alto... Sono estremamente soddisfatto della sua crescita finora e sono sicuro che mi riserva sorprese, odore veramente intenso. Grande genetica, sta iniziando a sfociare sul viola il colore delle foglie e questo mi rende molto molto più contento. Grazie a tutti per il supporto, NON VEDO L'ORA DI RACCOGLIERLA 🔥🌲❤️

Lots of growth this week and working to solve the humidity issues. I think it's probably because of the size of my pots but these girls just won't stop growing! I think I'm going to have to consider some defoliation for her next week. I noticed some rust spots on some of the leaves this week, I'm fairly certain that it's down to the humidity. Where leaves were gathering condensation they seem to have discoloured, probably because of magnifying the light - I'm just a beginner though so I'm happy for other people's opinions. I've kept feeding her a little bloom every couple of days, there was a little bit of yellowing to the tips of some leaves which I though could be down to nute burn but I'm not too worried about it at the moment. I think this plant has overtaken the Jack Herer now, she seems to be flowering a lot more. She smells divine - really strong citrus notes, I think she's going to be tasty! To fix the humidity issues I diverted the extraction duct to another room which seems to have made a big difference, RH is now consistently under 57% and usually around 55% - still not ideal but I don't think I'll get it much lower. I've moved the fan so that there's plenty of air moving over the canopy - hopefully enough to keep away the mould as the grow progresses.

Day 30: The Fastbuds seeds have turned around and are coming along nicely. I moved both vivosun 600w leds to the top of the tent and that is helping them to stretch and create bud sites. I put tomato cages to open up the side branches and they responded very well to it. Would you growers who are experienced with autos defoliate some of the leaves or let them do their thing? The plants will soon be starting to preflower. I don’t want to stunt them, but if it will benefit like it does to photos, I’m game. These plants are getting watered about 1-1.5 L per day, I have been feeding about 500-625 ppm and a ph of 5.3-5.6, which seems to be working for them. There is noticeable daily growth from most plants. The plants in the 7 gal fabric pots of coco are just showing their first pistils at node sites and clustered leaves at tops while the 5 gal plastic pots of soilless are already showing numerous pistils at the tops. The OG is the smallest, but broke ground 2-3 days after the Critical, White widow and Northern Lights. It seems to require less light, so it is moved to the corner as best as I can. It is starting to stretch out a little bit more, but is very leafy. I’m glad to see that these plants are doing better than 2 weeks ago and looking forward to see what happens next. Happy Growing 🌱
