Hello friends and welcome to my first report and my very first grow! šŸ Please follow me so you don’t miss any of my other grows. Thanks buddy! šŸ™šŸ¼ And also don’t miss my introducing to see more information about me and my entire collected knowledge! (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/209900-the-best-grow-journal-by-rick-and-growty) ________________________________________ My weeks always start on a Sunday. So today I define 19.05.2024 as the first day of the 3rd week. Because I got the plants as cuttings and they already had a certain size, I can’t determine an exact age at the beginning, unlike when growing them from seeds. ________________________________________ 19.05.2024 Today is the first day of the 3rd week so I decided to plant the girls in their final 18l pots and gave them 2l water with 0.25g/l of BioEnhancer and also a pinch of Great White Premium Mycorrhizae - [to get] ā€œKiller Roots for Killer Plantsā€ 🦈 I will give them 2 days to recover before adding the BioGrow growth fertilizer with a concentration of 3g/l pot volume.

30+ days in and they are going very strong. No issues at all up to this point so decided to defoliate for some more light penetration and to focus on the top buds.

Week two of the vegetative phase, and the Banana Purple Punch is growing like crazy!🌱🌿 The Banana Purple Punch is growing fast and looks super healthy. The leaves are a vibrant green, and the plant is definitely thriving. I’m sticking to the BioBizz nutrient schedule for the vegetative phase, and I’ve also added some Root Juice to support strong root development. 🌱 So far, everything seems to be going perfectly. The growth has been steady, and I’m excited to see how much more progress the plant will make in the coming weeks. This is shaping up to be a great grow! 😁✨

Such a great week watching these ladies bulk up! It's looking like the gorilla zkittles won't get a full week on its current food schedule before I start it on its winter frost and flushing. The Red diesel and Phantom will probably take another two weeks on there food schedule. Happy growing people! I wish I would've started this grow sooner, then I wouldn't of ran out of stash during this quarantine!

Del 20 al 26 de julio Cambio de sala y todo tira bien (un poco de calor). Ayer quitamos alguna hoja y los brotecillos bajeros mĆ”s pequeƱos. Ahora mismo estĆ” en un armario de 0.8Ɨ0.8 m, 3 tiras led Grow the jungle de 15w, un deshumificador VDL y un ventilador. Tenemos puesto el extractor VRK para la salida y ahora mismo la intraccion es pasiva. En principio la dejaremos ahi una semana mĆ”s hasta que coja mĆ”s altura pero bueno, ya se verĆ”. jejeje 21 de julio Realizamos riego en tierra con 1l. 1 vitamax + 2.5 Bud fuel pro + 2 bloom fuel + 0.16 Mammoth P + 0.3 silica power PH : 5.7 Th20 : 24.5°C Ec 1ms 22 de julio A este paso tal vez la semana que viene pasemos a flora, los brotes estĆ”n entre 10 y 20 cm. Buscamos que el brote mĆ”s corto este entre los 20 o 25cm para pasar a flora. Las temperaturas siguen bastante altas a pesar de que estamos a unos 28°C de media, esperemos que llueva pronto Jajajaja 23 de julio Riego foliar con tierra de diatomeas como preventivo. 24 de julio Por un lado, se nos han quedado restos blancos de la tierra de diatomeas pero nada grave, la retiramos con un pincel y dejamos que el resto haga su función.

Hallo Growfreunde, da bin ich wieder mit einem kleinen Update šŸ¤—šŸ˜. Heute ist Tag 5 nach der Umstellung auf 12/12. Der stretch sollte sich bald bemerkbar machen, aber sollte keine Probleme geben, Platz ist dašŸ˜ŽšŸ’Ŗ. Ich habe diese Woche den Tank das erste Mal nachgefüllt, allerdings diesmal mit nur 20L, damit das Wasser nicht so lange steht. Es hatte sich ein kleines CalMag problem angedeutet, was sich aber schonwieder eingependelt hat. Entlaubt habe ich auch. Große FƤcherblƤtter wurden entfernt, aber sehen tut man dass nach 2 Tagen schon nicht mehršŸ˜…šŸ˜…. Ende Woche 2 werde ich nochmal lollipoppen und entlauben, danach wird nix mehr gemacht. Mal sehen ob der Dünger bis zum Ende reichtšŸ˜…. Hab heute, 13.10 nochmal die Positionen der Tƶpfe verƤndert und die Pflanzen auch anders angeordnet. Nutze jetzt fast die vollen 2m breite😁😁 mal sehen ob ich das ganze Zelt voll kriegešŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚. Was schƤtzt ihr so was an ertrag raus kommt?! Bin echt gespanntšŸ¤—šŸ¤—šŸ¤—šŸ¤—šŸ¤Ŗ. In 2-3 Tagen mach ich nochmal ein Update, bis dahin liebe Growfreunde šŸ’žšŸ’žšŸ’ž

Hi Growmies, I topped her towards the end of this week and removed two sets of fan leaves. It opened the plant up very nicely in combination with the light LST I applied earlier in the week. The plant is taking very nicely to the LST and didn’t seem to care about the topping either. I attribute this to the strong root system she already has. For the next week I have fed her additionally to the canna nutes, some plant success orca, for healthier roots and Rezin from greenplanet to prepare her for pre flower. Here is the code that’ll give you 20% in Zamnesiaā€˜s online store, just input ZAMMIGD2023 at checkout. Thanks for stepping by and until next week!

Week 9 Flower Report: The Countdown to Harvest Begins! 🌼✨ As the ninth week of flower unfolds, the room is a symphony of colors and frosty brilliance—a true gardener’s dream! But as we approach the final stretch, it’s a delicate dance of vigilance and care to ensure a clean and bountiful harvest. Here’s a deep dive into this exciting and educational week: The ā€œFlushā€ in Full Swing The flush continues as we prepare the ladies for their final days. While we’re a week or so away from harvest, the plants are responding beautifully, showcasing stunning fades that highlight their unique genetics. This fading process is a critical part of the journey, helping the plants naturally finish their cycle while preserving those complex terpene profiles we all love. The Mold Incident: A Teachable Moment This week brought a challenge—a few buds succumbed to bud rot (Botrytis), particularly on the Papaya Zoap and a single bud from the Gorilla Melon. While disheartening, it’s a reminder that mold can occur even in the most well-maintained gardens, especially with dense colas and a full canopy. After a thorough inspection, all affected buds were removed and discarded to prevent the spread. A quick note to all growers: defoliation plays a massive role in airflow and prevention of such issues. This is why mid-flower defoliation is a game-changer, and I’m grateful it kept the rest of the garden healthy! Papaya Zoap’s Unique Quirks The Papaya Zoap continues to be a star of the show with its frosty buds and… albino tips! These tiny white tips are likely from being too close to the lights. While it’s a cosmetic detail that doesn’t affect quality, it’s a fascinating display of how genetics and environment interact. A Frost-Filled Wonderland The room is absolutely glistening with frost. Trichomes are piling up like snow, giving the entire garden a magical wintery appearance. I genuinely believe the ThinkGrow LEDs and TrolMaster spectrum control deserve a shoutout here. Running deep red, far red, and UV at 100%, combined with whites at 50%, is delivering incredible results. The ability to fine-tune the spectrum is a game-changer for resin production and terpene enhancement. Environmental Mastery Here’s a peek into the environmental stats keeping the ladies thriving: • Room Temperature: 26°C • Relative Humidity (RH): 53.2% • VPD: 1.57 kPa • CO2: 1067 ppm • PPFD: 690 µmol/m²/s This balance creates the perfect conditions for fattening buds and maximizing quality in the final weeks. Nutrient & Soil Rundown On the nutrient side, the solution measures: • pH: 6.67 • TDS (Reservoir): 65 ppm • Solution Temp: 18.3°C Soil stats show a TDS of 695 ppm, indicating there’s still some nutrient reserve left in the medium—a perfect transition into the flush phase. It’s all about ensuring the plants have enough to finish strong without compromising flavor or smoothness. A Garden of Many Colors The fades across the room are a sight to behold. Each strain is showcasing its unique hues, with the Green Papaya leading the frost parade, and the Punch Pie taking the crown for bud size. Meanwhile, the Gorilla Melon is dazzling with red reflections, and the Papaya Zoap keeps turning heads with its white crystalline canopy. Videos with TM+ Pro This week, I’m also sharing videos straight from the TM+ Pro app. This tool has been a joy to use, offering precise control and insights into my grow environment. It’s simple for beginners and robust for advanced growers, proving once again that the TrolMaster ecosystem is a must-have in any grow room. P.S. Ecosystem Excellence I can’t emphasize enough how incredible the TrolMaster ecosystem is for growers of all levels. From intuitive configuration to seamless integration, it’s a system that simplifies growing while delivering professional results. Whether you’re just starting out or refining your craft, TrolMaster has your back. Thank Yous & Shoutouts As always, my heartfelt thanks to my sponsors: TrolMaster, ThinkGrow LEDs, Aptus Holland, Pro Mix Soil, Cannakan, and the amazing seed banks for their genetics. Huge love to the community—followers, haters, and everyone in between. And, of course, a special nod to Grow Diaries for being a platform where we can all share and learn together.

Added some Fox Farms Grow Big and Fish Guano this week and wow! Feels like every night they gain about an inch or so, especially the Blue Dream CBD, who is in a bigger pot than the others. It's been pretty warm so I've had to water them more regularly. I'm going to transfer them into 7 gallon smart pots next week.

Wow they’re starting to smell so good and bud up so well. Shout out to @barneysfarm @zamnesia for these amazing seeds I can’t wait for them to finish. I figured out the probelm was the calmag, the girls are loving it 5 weeks to goo!

The veg cycle was shorter than i usually like to have a plant go through, due to time restrictions for the Bubba Cheesecake Diary grow-off, but it still did fantastic in my mind! Three months in veg under high-octane light and 11 1/2 weeks in flower have let this plant turn into a dreadlocked group of nugs. Three main colas, but lots of burnable flower to enjoy once the dry is finished. I did a light LST with a decent amount of defoliation throughout the plant's life. I like to open up the middle area of the plant and let as much light as possible hit as many branch and potential flower nodes as possible. This way, i don't need to lollipop as many branches and as much foliage as i would if i didn't do this. Plus, the candelabra look is b-e-a-Utiful, in my opinion. Light intensity through veg ranged from 40% as a fresh seedling to around 55% the week before i put it into the bloom room. Once it was in the bloom room, the intensity was set at 50% for the first couple weeks to allow for a decent stretch. After that, i think i recorded the light intensity in my diary notes for each week. But, just in case i didn't, I bumped up the intensity by a few percent every 3 days until i hit 100%. Once i got to MAXIMUM POWER, i left it there until harvest. Water was natural well water that tests out at 7 pH. I always added BuildABloom to the water, never the soil, when i used it. Same with Dr. Earth's 1-2-1 tea concentrate. Other than those instances, it was just straight water that i was giving to the plant. Grow rooms are both about 4'x8'. Lights are still budget lights: -IMVSincere BC100(x3) for veg (Link: https://www.amazon.com/IMVSINCERE-Spectrum-High-Performance-Greenhouse-Hydroponic/dp/B095C2DLH5/ref=asc_df_B095C2DLH5/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=563646983247&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=540375076791862758&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005737&hvtargid=pla-1602626531718&psc=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw__ihBhADEiwAXEazJgD4ugog9JhrBxNShAvyxL7mk9FZTcqD8voe6_dtA20JctuC5Q9qvBoCD7oQAvD_BwE ) Abriselux A1500(x2) for flower (Link: https://www.amazon.com/Abriselux-Dimmable-Coverage-Upgraded-Hydroponic/dp/B08V1FM9V2/ref=asc_df_B08V1FM9V2/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=507792239689&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17954986133471144655&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005737&hvtargid=pla-1213853152075&psc=1 ) All in all, this was one of the most enjoyable cultivars I've grown inside since i started indoor grows in September 2022. I'm definitely going to try and get more seeds off of my brother, as well as buy some more seeds to pheno-hunt through! Thank you, @Seedsman , for running this contest. I would have never tried this cultivar out if it wasn't for you giving me a little incentive!

Hey everyone! Do-Si-Dos ladies are growing inside the grow tent now and under a 250w HID, which is a HPS since my MH bulb burnt. They are growing very strongly, fast and healthy. With a decent thick stock for their age I believe. This genetics are very strong, so far no problems, no stunt growth. Made a 4-way topping, where you must leave 2 nodes only. The plant had around 6 nodes before topped. Will start LST on branches and shape them for the scrog I might apply later. They leave a sweet smell scent in the air. Roots are also growing pretty fast.

The harvest window was calculated to start next week. However, I've been monitoring the trichomes under a microscope and the majority of top buds had a nice mix of amber triches, I had to begin harvesting a week early. This week I began harvesting the topmost buds only in order to allow the lower ones to continue to develop and mature. We certainly had a few hearty colas, with a number of well defined buds throughout all three plants. Next week we will harvest the remaining as initially estimated.

After seeing the roots just about fill the totes, I decided to flip to flower. I did some lollipopping towards the end of last week, and removed a lot of larfy little branches. I added some big bud on top of my base nutrients, because Ive had good results with that. Im going to maintain a 10-12" light distance, and increase my light from 80% to 100% power after the stretch is over. You guys, I cant believe how heavily these girls are feeding, ppms were set to 1450ppm last night, 1300 this morning, 950 this afternoon. I added more big bud to up the pk a bit, and get my ppms back where they were. I cant wait for them to really hit stretch, I think theyre going to explode in the next few days!

Through out the week she received a foliar spray of Epsom Salt to prevent any Mg issues the others had in the tent. She is the shortest and smallest of the bunch but her foliage is the most vibrant. Very healthy and strong stems forming.
