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 “Flush” 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.

Blütewoche 2 – Blattpflege, ScrOG & Biologischer Pflanzenschutz Zeitraum: Vom 29. Mai bis 05. Juni Moin zusammen! Ich habe mir mein bisheriges Grow-Tagebuch angesehen und beschlossen, künftig auf Deutsch weiterzuschreiben, damit ich mir das ständige Übersetzen spare und gleichzeitig einen Beitrag zur deutschsprachigen Grow-Community leisten kann. Entlaubung & ScrOG-Fädeln: In dieser Woche habe ich die King Juice großflächig entlaubt, um Licht und Luft besser ins Innere der Pflanze gelangen zu lassen. Die Äste wurden durch das ScrOG-Netz gefädelt, damit sie sich gleichmäßig über die Fläche verteilen. Zu Beginn war sie etwa 55 cm im Durchmesser – zum Ende der Woche war sie auf ca. 60 cm angewachsen. Biologischer Pflanzenschutz – Nützlinge: Zum Schutz gegen Schädlinge habe ich zwei Koppert-Produkte eingesetzt: - Swirski‑Mite Plus – enthält Amblyseius swirskii, eine Schlupf‑ und Raubmilbe, die sich besonders gegen Larven von Thripsen und Weißen Fliegen richtet  - Spical Plus – beheimatet Neoseiulus californicus, eine generalistische Raubmilbe, ideal gegen Spinnmilben, aber auch gegen andere Blattmilben  Diese Nützlinge werden in langsam freisetzenden Beuteln angebracht und helfen präventiv im biologischen Schädlingsmanagement – damit es gar nicht erst zu größeren Problemen kommt. Pflanzenzustand: Die King Juice hat sich zügig erholt, wirkt vital und wächst kräftig weiter. Das Blattwerk zeigt ein sattes Grün, ohne Anzeichen von Mangelerscheinungen. Sehr zufriedenstellend! Bewässerung & Mikrobenkultur: Das Substrat ist noch gut feucht. Deshalb werde ich wie gewohnt erst zu Beginn der nächsten Woche erneut gießen. Nochmals mit EM1 (Effektiven Mikroorganismen), um das Bodenleben weiterhin zu unterstützen. Liebe Grüße aus Norddeutschland – bis zum nächsten Wochen-Update!

This is the final week, they are going to be chopped coming week. Already had some darkness and they are very very smelly. I am amazed at this strain's resilience. It had to deal with my noobishness with autos, heat, very hot soil and less PH buffering with my own super soil recipe (see the yellow image in the germination page) in the smaller bags. Still, they became huge and full of bud. Forbidden Runtz is an amazing strain. Very strong growth but also with most auto's I've grown: once the grow derails, it seldom recovers. But these do. I'm sure next grows I'm going to get even more out of them. Can't wait to try them again with what I've learned now. And you should all consider the SP-3000 as a growlight, look at my results! I will update when I've harvested, thanks for visiting!! Don't forget to check out the special spring discounts on www.mars-hydro.com Big hug Bud

Cazzo è enorme!! 65 cm di diametro e mi occupa più di mezza tenda 1x1... Che dire!! Fantastica la sua crescita. Già esplosiva dopo il topping... Avevo visto che non aveva quasi ricevuto stress e avevo capito sin da subito che è una pianta fortissima, in piena salute e con grandi margini di grandezza/robustezza. Questo fenotipo è chiaramente forte e resistente ha una dominanza sativa forse più della percentuale che scrivono... Sono molto orgoglioso dei miei lavori ed esperimenti con le autofiorenti. Non voglio fare stime di peso ma sicuramente sarà una pianta pesante. Ho contato almeno 40 Budsites 😱😱😱

Week 7 is begonnen en ze wordt heerlijk verwend. Ze groeit lekker door, de toppen worden groter en ze ruikt nu al zeer sterk. Helaas heeft ze wat gele bladpunten gekregen, ik denk dat ik haar overvoed heb en de aptus voeding iets te veel van het goede was, dus vanaf nu geef ik haar alleen nog plagron zoals gewoonlijk. Ik ben zeer tevreden over de spiderfarmer sf-1000, geen geluid, laag energieverbruik, weinig warmte en intense zonnestralen. Topnotch. Laten we zien hoe ze zich in week 7 verder weet te ontwikkelen.🧐 Ik zal gedurende de week nog verse foto's updaten. 📷 ✌️🏼

Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing amazing! TickTockCroc is back for another grow! ┏(^0^)┛ Last time, I did a Fastbuds Girl Scout Cookies grow in my closet using a small pot. Yielded 22g dry weight (lol). Didn't do any ph monitoring or temperature control until later. This time... I'm determined to do it better! For this grow I will be doing: 2 x Fastbuds Girl Scout Cookies 2 x Fastbuds Gelato I AM DOING A SEPARATE DIARY FOR EACH STRAIN. THIS DIARY WILL ONLY BE UPDATING PROGRESS WITH THE GIRL SCOUT COOKIES! For this set-up, I decided to get a 1.2m x 1.2m x 2.0m tent and a carbon filter with fan. Also using fabric pots instead of plastic. For lights I'm using my old 600W Viper LED. I love this set-up!! This diary is starting on Day 7 from seed for the GSC. They just got moved to the tent yesterday (had to wait for it in the mail, got excited and germinated seeds too soon lol) and so they were in the closet until then. There has been no fan to circulate air or remove heat, and I think that's why the first set of leaves are curling a bit. Annoyingly, I have to wait for distilled water to arrive in the mail so I can calibrate my PH meter, so have not been able to ph adjust water. It has had one watering of evian water so far, so hopefully thats OK. I am using BioBizz Light Mix soil and using BioBizz nutrients. I will update which specific nutrients when I can. Take care for now, folks! *EDIT* DAY 10 UPDATE: I've uploaded a day 10 video update! So today is day 10 and I fed them their first feed yesterday. I've added the nutrient details to the diary. They seem to be LOVING it. I also noticed some pale spots on some leaves - perhaps exterior nute burn as I splashed the leaves by accident. We'll see.

Ise grows incredibly fast and gets such huge leaves. I'm curious to see how big the flowers will be.

4/1/21 - Both plants were transplanted into 5 gallon fabric pots with Ocean Forest soil by Fox Farm Nutrients. I will be using plain water for the next two weeks to allow the plants to get acclimated. (See video) 4/2/21 - Watered both plants with water (ph 6) noticed the grow room is a little humid throughout parts of the day but I will be installing the fan today. Both plants seem to be adjusting well. 4/3/21 - Plants are doing good. Watered them with ph 6 water. Noticing some yellow on the bottom leaves. 4/4/21 - The ends of the leaves are turning a light yellow from nutrient burn as a result of the ocean forest soil. Started low stress training today, added two clips per plant (see photo) 4/5/21 - The soil is still moist from yesterday, I’m not going to water today. They are still in the low stress training clips. You can really see the nutrient burn today. (See video) 4/6/21 - I watered the plants today with water (ph 6). Not much change in appearance from yesterday. 4/7/21 - Plants are looking great, the nutrient burn is starting to fade a little. I will be starting a new week tomorrow. (Continuing with water, and low stress training)

This Gelat.OG has some long legs on her. She is stretching and opening up to make some nice buds. She was quick to transition and start building some little budlets. I am going to keep an eye on her might supercrop some tops if she keeps stretching the way she is. Will be starting them on some liquid Koolbloom next week. Nutrients per gallon .5 tsp maxibloom .25 tsp maxigro .5 tsp calimagic .25 tsp armor si .1 tsp 90/10 humic/fulvic acid.
