Today replaced the Spider Farmer SF-1000 with BestVA 3000 Pro – first day under the new lamp. Plants are responding positively, leaves are already a bit more open and fuller. Environment 🌑️ Day 25–27 Β°C Night 20–21 Β°C RH 60–65 % VPD 0.9–1.1 kPa Clipfan on low, extra oscillating fan added due to higher heat output from the 300W lamp Light πŸ’‘ BestVA 3000 Pro @ ~300 W (18/6 schedule) Distance to tops 50–55 cm (first days hanging high to acclimatize) PPFD estimate 650–850 Β΅mol/mΒ²/s at canopy level (not yet exactly measured with app) Full spectrum with Veg/Bloom switch on Veg mode Leaves seem to be getting fuller already, no stress after 24 hours Pot & roots

Xpie77 Grow Diary – Sweetopia (Paradise Seeds) Week 4 Vegetative Phase (day 28 from germination) – 2 plants Update: Transplanted to 11-liter pots + BestVA BP4000/Pro4000 LED @ 415W Type 🌱 Sweetopia – Paradise Seeds Overall Status πŸ“ˆ From Β±20 cm β†’ now 38–45 cm Growth is really exploding now! After the transplant to 11L and the upgrade to the BestVA 415W Pro series (Samsung diodes, dimmable, Meanwell driver), the plants are taking off like a rocket. Bushy structure, short internodes, lots of new side branches pushing through. No stretching, everything looks thick and green. Environment 🌑️ Day 25–27 Β°C Night 20–21 Β°C RH 58–63 % VPD 1.0–1.2 kPa Extra oscillating fan + clip fan on medium due to more heat from the 415W lamp – cooling well under control. Light πŸ’‘ BestVA BP4000/Pro4000 @ 415W (18/6 schedule, dimmed to 70–80% for veg) Distance to canopy 45–50 cm (still hanging high to acclimate after upgrade) PPFD estimated 700–950 Β΅mol/mΒ²/s at canopy (not measured exactly yet, but feels much stronger than the old 100W) Full spectrum with Veg mode on – leaves are wide open and components green. Pot & Roots ? 11-liter Air-Pot (transplanted day 25 from 7L) BioBizz Light-Mix + 20–25% perlite Roots filling the new pot quickly, transplant shock minimal – plants recovered in 2–3 days. Nutrient Week 4 🌿 pH always 6.3 EC in 1.3–1.5 EC run-off 1.5–1.6 (slightly increased due to more light and larger pot) Day 22: 2–2.5 L β†’ Bio-Grow 3.5 ml/L + Acti-Vera 2 ml/L + AlgΒ·AΒ·Mic 1 ml/L Day 25 (after transplant): 2.5 L β†’ Bio-Grow 4 ml/L + Acti-Vera 2 ml/L (light root boost) Day 28: 3 L β†’ Bio-Grow 4 ml/L + Acti-Vera 2 ml/L + RootΒ·Juice leftover More volume per feeding now that pots are bigger. Training βœ‚οΈ LST further refined β†’ canopy nice and flat and often round. FIM/topping done on day 24–25 β†’ new side tops exploding. 12–16 strong main branches per plant. Stems now stronger and sturdier (thumb thickness almost), perfect for the recommended stretch. Health βœ… Dark green, thick sturdy leaves – growing like crazy. No plates, no deficiencies, no signs after lamp/pot upgrade. Tropical sweet smell stronger when writing – plants seem more energetic and fuller. Height end of week 4 πŸ“ Plant 1 β†’ 38 cm Plant 2 β†’ 45 cm With the 11L pots and the powerful BestVA 415W Pro LED (much better penetration and output than the old setup), Sweetopia is building a monster structure. Just 1–2 more weeks of veg max, then flipping – this is going to be a thick canopy! See you in week 5 veg. Green energy ✌️

Strain 🌱 Sweetopia – Paradise Seeds Overall Status πŸ“ˆ From Β±20 cm end of week 3 β†’ now 38–45 cm at flip Growth was explosive this week thanks to the larger pots and the powerful 415W BestVA. Plants are bushy, with short internodes and 12–16 strong side branches per plant. Flipped to 12/12 today – first pistils already visible on a few nodes (pre-flower signs).

Xpie77 Growers Diaries – Sweetopia (Paradise Seeds) Week 2 Bloei (dag 14 van 12/12) – 2 planten Strain 🌱 Sweetopia – Paradise Seeds Algemene status πŸ“ˆ Stretch is minimaal geweest (slechts +8–12 cm extra sinds flip), zoals typisch voor deze indica-dominante strain. Planten staan nu op 48–58 cm vanaf potrand. Bud sites zwellen mooi op, overal witte pistils die dikker en talrijker worden. Eerste suikerblaadjes krijgen zichtbare trichomen. Geur bouwt snel op: zoet citrus, mango en een lichte fuel/hasy ondertoon – heerlijk tropisch! Omgeving 🌑️ Dag 25–27 Β°C Nacht 20–21 Β°C RV 50–55 % (langzaam zakken) VPD 1.1–1.3 kPa Luchtcirculatie sterk met oscillerende fan + clipfan – warmte van de 415W lamp goed onder controle Licht πŸ’‘ BestVA BP4000/Pro4000 @ 415W (12/12, dim op 85–90%) Afstand tot canopy 38–42 cm PPFD schatting 850–1050 Β΅mol/mΒ²/s op canopy Full spectrum Bloom-modus – bladeren blijven donkergroen en staan mooi omhoog, geen lichtstress Pot & wortels ? 11 liter Air-Pot BioBizz Light-Mix + 20–25 % perliet Wortels vullen de pot goed, focus verschuift nu naar bud-ontwikkeling Voeding week 2 bloei 🌿 pH altijd 6.2–6.3 EC in 1.5–1.6 EC run-off 1.7–1.8 Schema deze week: Bio-Bloom 4 ml/L + TopMax 3 ml/L + Acti-Vera 2 ml/L + CalMag 1 ml/L (indien nodig) 3–3.5 L per plant, 3x per week Einde week lichte spoeling met lagere EC (1.3) om zoutopbouw tegen te gaan Training & ontwikkeling βœ‚οΈ Lichte defoliatie ronde 1 gedaan (alleen fan leaves die buds blokkeren) Canopy blijft gelijkmatig en bossig Buds worden dikker, pistils krullend en vol – eerste kleine calyxen zichtbaar Gezondheid & trichomen βœ… Donkergroen blad, geen tekorten of overvoeding Geen plagen, geen schimmel Trichomen: helder met al wat melkachtig begin op suikerblaadjes Geur lekt al door het filter – zoet tropisch fruit met gas-achtige kick Hoogte nu πŸ“ Plant 1 β†’ 48 cm Plant 2 β†’ 58 cm Sweetopia gedraagt zich perfect: minimale stretch, snelle bud swell en de harsproductie start al goed. Met de 11L potten en de krachtige BestVA 415W Pro LED bouwt dit uit tot een dikke, plakkerige oogst. Nog vroeg in bloei, maar het ziet er veelbelovend uit! Tot week 3 bloei Citrus sticky vibes ✌️

Xpie77 Growers Diaries – Sweetopia (Paradise Seeds) Week 6 Bloom (day 42 of 12/12) – 2 plants Strain 🌱 Sweetopia – Paradise Seeds General status πŸ“ˆ The stretch is long over and the plants are now fully in the thick blooming phase. Buds are swelling significantly, becoming hard and compact. Sugar leaves are almost completely covered with trichomes. Pistils are largely turning brown/orange. The smell is intense: sweet tropical fruit (mango/pineapple), citrus, and a heavy gas/hash undertone – the tent already smells wonderful when you walk in! Environment 🌑️ Day 24–26 Β°C Night 19–20 Β°C RH 42–48 % (kept low for resin production) VPD 1.2–1.4 kPa Air circulation strong with oscillating fan + clip fan – no hot spots under the BestVA Light πŸ’‘ BestVA BP4000/Pro4000 @ 415W (12/12, dimmed to 90–100%) Distance to canopy 35–38 cm PPFD 900–1100 Β΅mol/mΒ²/s on the buds Bloom mode fully on – deep penetration, buds are getting thicker and denser Pot & roots ? 11 liter Air-Pot BioBizz Light-Mix + 20–25 % perlite Roots are fully in the pot, but the focus is now entirely on the flowers Nutrients week 6 bloom 🌿 pH always 6.2–6.3 EC in 1.6–1.8 EC run-off 1.9–2.1 (slight buildup, flushing next week) Schedule this week: Bio-Bloom 5 ml/L + TopMax 4 ml/L + Acti-Vera 2 ml/L + CalMag 1 ml/L 3.5–4 L per plant, 3x per week Trichome production is now truly explosive Training & development βœ‚οΈ Defoliation round 2 and 3 done (all large fan leaves blocking light removed) Canopy still nice and even Buds are thick, compact, and starting to show some color (light purple hues possible) Calyxes are swollen and covered with resin Health & trichomes βœ… Leaves still largely dark green, some older leaves yellow (normal in late bloom) No pests, no mold, no deficiencies Trichomes: 70–80% milky, starting to see some amber on sugar leaves Super sticky – fingers stick to it upon touch Height now πŸ“ Plant 1 β†’ 52 cm Plant 2 β†’ 62 cm Sweetopia is more than living up to its name! With the 11L pots and the powerful BestVA 415W Pro LED, these will be real resin monsters. Just 1–2 weeks until harvest (around day 50–55), flushing starting soon. This is going to be a thick, sweet, and sticky harvest! Until week 7 bloom (final phase) Super sticky vibes ✌️
