Seems to be going ok? Looks to me now like flowering is well on it way this week seems to be taking longer to develop but I have done extensive training which I think could add time to the final harvest but other than that everything seems ok 👍🏼

WEEK 5 8/16- Alrighty! Start of week five and all the ladies are in flower and starting to look sexy as hell! Even the Crystal Meth #2 in the SOHUM Living Soil that had a soil ph of 5.2-5.4 and 4.2 ph runoff on a 4 1/2 gallon flush of 7.7 ph water is doing well! I checked the ph on her soil this morning and she's at 6.4...PERFECT! I gave all the girls a drink of de-chlorinated water in the amount of 2 1/2g with 1 tsp CalMag+ added and ph'd to 6.9 split evenly between them. 8/17- Day 30- The girls are all really growing like crazy filling out their 10g fabric pots. I went through all of them today and, using the green horticultural wire LST'd the crap out of everyone! I know, I know....LST on Day 30??? I've LST'd this late before and had really good results so giving it a go this run. Gave all the girls a small drink as they were moist 2" down using 2 1/2g de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.8 @ 75 deg. After I LST'd all the girls, I selectively tucked shade leaves and defoliated a couple here and there and also removed all the shitty little undergrowth down low on the main stalks. Can't believe the FastBuds Crystal Meth #2 came back from the edge of oblivion. I checked her medium(SOHUM Living Soil) ph which is still @ 6.4...whew! I think she's gonna do just fine, although not as good as her sister who's an obviously different phenotype. 8/18- Cranked up the HLG 650R's to max today. Now drawing 1300w at the wall-650w each and raised both lights to 42" high which is giving 800-1100 umols depending on what place on the canopy you check. 8/19- I administered the second dose of live Nematode's with the girls morning watering. I put the Nematodes in 2 1/2 gallons of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.8 @ 74 deg. and split it evenly between all eight pots. I tightened up the LST on all the girls to keep spreading them out and getting better light penetration into the lower canopy. 8/20- I started a batch of Compost Tea this morning- 4 cups worm castings, 1 cup of Alfalfa Meal, 1 cup Kelp Meal, 2 tbsp Bat Guano into 4 1/2 gallons of de-chlorinated water with a 6.9ph in which I added 5 tbsp of unsulphured molasses as a catalyst for the microbes. I'll brew this for 48 hours. The ladies all were moist enough that I felt safe skipping the water for today, I'll give them a light watering tomorrow, then a heavy feed with the compost tea. I went through and tucked the heck out of leaves blocking bud sites from light (this is a chore as the girls are getting BUSHY as hell!) and removed a few scattered fan leaves that refused to be tucked and were really blocking light into the lower canopy....can't be having that, need the LIGHT! 8/21- Ladies were all looking very perky this morning and the FastBuds Crystal Meth and Purple Lemonade are both getting beautiful purple shades to them especially the FastBuds Crystal Meth #1 in Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate, she's absolutely on FIRE although her node spacing is very wide. The #2 Crystal Meth in SOHUM that had the ph issue with her medium seems to have recovered after I flushed the shit out of her. She's behind her sister and definitely has a different structure than the #1 phenotype. The Purple Lemonade #1 & #2 are both flowering with #2 looking way better. The #1 Purple Lemonade has some thick kushy leaves and she's a short little biatch, in contrast to the #2 which is tall and lanky with wider node spacing. The #2 Purple Lemonade is having a little issue apparently with the nitrogen level in the medium as she's getting 'claw tips' on several of her leaves and judging by her dark green coloration, she's nitrogen rich right now. I'll keep an eye on her but don't think it's a big issue at this moment in time. The Seedsman Gelato OG in Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate is getting bushy and has filled out the 10 gallon fabric pot. She's got a ton of bud sites and it's a struggle training to keep all the sites exposed to light. The #2 Gelato OG in SOHUM is doing about the same as her sister but she's not quite as tall. The Seedsman Zkittles #1 slowed down on her stretch and just decided to get bushy instead! She's still in pre-flower but is very healthy and will be getting it on very soon! Her 'Sin Twisters' Zkittles #2 & #3 are beautiful and in flower. The Zkittles 'twins' were previously the shortest plants in this run but have caught up and are as tall as the Zkittles #1 @ 14". 8/22- End of Week 4! The girls got Compost Tea ( 8.1 ph, 840 ppm and 1636 EC @ 78 deg.) for breakfast this morning along with a top dress on the six ladies growing in Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate / Fox Farms Happy Frog mix. The two SOHUM pots with the Seedsman Gelato OG #2 and FastBuds Crystal Meth #2 got 4 tbsp of 2-8-4 slow release dry amendments by Down To Earth top dressed and worked in by hand. I gave them each 1/2 gallon of Compost Tea after top dressing to help water in the nutrients. I went through all the girls and tucked and gently spread their branches to continue to train them as they get ready to really start flowering. The FastBuds girls are getting MORE colorful each and every day and I can't wait to open the tent each morning to see them....BEAUTIFUL!!!

During my previous grow, I harvested and made some bubble hash. Afterward, I dropped the used, wet buds onto this coco, and it seems some seeds sprouted from the leftover material. I’m not even sure if they’re photoperiod or autoflower, but hey—let's roll with it! Both my pH meter and PPM meter are broken. I have no idea why they keep breaking so often. They’re ADWA meters, and while you can replace the reading elements, the replacements cost half the price of a new meter. It’s frustrating, and I really don’t want to keep buying them every time I start a new grow

This is more like the end of week 3. I will be topping tomorrow.

Nice first week 12/12

1.9 EC pk.. gebberelic acid , planter in march

Well growmies this one is a keeper that's for sure 👈 couldn't of asked for better Genetics 😉 She lead the pack during the entire grow .... Amazing Plant 👉 Big thanks to all my Growmies out there in GD land 👈 Much appreciated 🙏 Thanks To MarsHydro for the TS1000 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14 NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34

Looking good. Flowering way faster than my 3 other plants. Guess that's why they're called 420 fastbuds! Lol. Day 55. Strong scent of sweet dough and berries. Absolutely lovely.

Harvest day 74. 10g dried after 4 days. Little plant and little yeald. Didn't respond well to topping, problems with over feeding in late flowering. Also began to foxtail in last week, probably due to 40°C at daytime. Will update the smoke test curing.

Just started this journal, this is my 3rd grow in this box, experimenting with 3 toppings for 8 main colas

UPDATE GANG!!! SO sorry for the LAG!!! Lots going on this month in the house.... But I'm going to try to stay more consistent with the updates!!!! SOOO the plants are doing okay they are starting to change Hues as far as color appearance mainly I'm thinking because of the lower temps because of local weather, other then that the girls are doing fine a lot of those whiteflies sucked a lot of sap out of the plants they started getting crispy i hope this doesn't affect the quality of the buds, other then that I'm going to start ramping down the nutrients ill keep you update I'm going prolly chop in 2 or 3 weeks thanks guys!!!!!!

. Day 20, started some lst on the baby great response from this plant Day 21 everything is going good, maybe a little slower but I think it will retake is time I just adjusted lamp and ph. Let’s see

I've already cut a few buds this week, so that the effect is not too deadly and suitable for work

Week 6 of flower

Light schedule 20 hours on 4 hours off and the same with ventilation. Humidity approx 50 percent, water intake raised up 125 ml per plant per day. Fertilization continues on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with Biobizz family and Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday bat guano and Epsom salt. This week will change the old lamp and replace with Viparspectra 600W. Day 46: I am still waiting for the new lamp. I haven't updated 2 days. They are georgeus flowering nicely. Buds are getting thicker and the purple strains are getting pure Balckberry Kush and LSD-25. Day 47: I palced today the new Viperspectra 600W lamp. I have also changed the light schedule for 18/6.

Week 4 Veg Report - TrolMaster Chronicles 🌱 What a week it’s been in the garden! We finally transplanted the Papaya Zoap into its final Autopot, and let me tell you, this plant is something special. Though her roots weren’t quite where I wanted them to be yet, the move was needed to help her catch up with the rest of the crew. She’s already looking fantastic in her new home, and I have no doubt she’s about to explode with growth in the coming days. Sometimes, you just have to trust the process, and I’m feeling like this is one of those moments. It’s almost as if the room itself is taking on a life of its own. 🌿 In fact, I’m starting to believe that what we’re building here is something greater than ourselves—there’s this energy in the room, a feeling of everything coming together perfectly. I can’t wait to see how this journey unfolds! Dialing in the VPD with TrolMaster’s Tech Now, let’s talk VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) and how I’ve been keeping everything in check with the Tend-X and the incredible (DSH-2U) Humidity Station. VPD is crucial to plant health—it’s all about finding that perfect balance between humidity and temperature to optimize transpiration and nutrient uptake. The (DSH-2U) Humidity Station, connected directly to my humidifier, has been an absolute game-changer in this regard. With its real-time data and automation, it allows me to monitor and adjust the RH with pinpoint accuracy. Simple yet brilliant, the (DSH-2U) Humidity Station is keeping my room at the sweet spot I need. Whether I’m tweaking the settings from my phone while I’m out and about or just fine-tuning things while relaxing at home, this machine does it all. It’s like having an extra pair of hands in the grow room—and when you’re managing something as complex as VPD, that’s invaluable! And yes, the TM+ Pro App—let’s not forget how awesome it is. I’m adjusting my grow room from the couch, the car, or even the bathroom 😜. I’ve said it before, but this app is making growing easier than ever. Feeding the Girls: The Perfect Blend 🌱 We’ve upped the game by adding CaMg-Boost at 0.25 ml/L to the feeding schedule. Along with the 1 ml/L of the all-in-one liquid, this brings the TDS up to 320 ppm, with a pH of 5.99 and solution temperature of 24.8°C. In the soil, readings are around 415 ppm, with temperatures hovering around 25°C The plants are absolutely thriving, and I can already see the difference this new feed is making. I can’t help but have a bit of fun with this process—it feels like I’m spoiling them with the best of the best. And they’re rewarding me with beautiful growth and vibrant green color. You know how it is, with the right care and attention, these plants are truly becoming a masterpiece in the making. 🌱 Shoutouts 💚 Big shoutout to TrolMaster and ThinkGrow LED for the phenomenal gear that’s making this grow smoother than ever. Also, massive thanks to Aptus Holland for their top-notch nutrition, and of course, to the community here on GrowDiaries—you guys keep the energy alive! 🌱 Last but definitely not least, shoutout to all the seed banks supporting this journey.

I’ve been able to dim them down, save on electricity costs, and still maintain an incredible PAR and spectrum. It’s all about fine-tuning the balance of power and performance, and these lights make it easy to get the best results while being eco-friendly. Whether you’re running them full throttle or dialing it back, you’re still getting optimal growth conditions for your plants. That’s the kind of innovation that takes your grow to the next level. 💡 Growers Love to all 🌿💚

A really big bushy tree that makes me smile every time I look at her.. Noticed caterpillars are wrapping themselves in sugar leaves of bud sites and eating through the centre, seen and removed 3 of them so far..luckily I have some Bacillus Thuringiensis on hand to spray them so hopefully that will do its job and kill the buggers. Can't believe its still growing. Its outgrown my 3 yr old jackfruit tree now. Now I have a huge praying Mantis on my plant.. hopefully she will cleanup my bug problem.

Week 3: TrolMaster Chronicles – Transplanting, Growing Strong, and Thriving in PRO-MIX HP 🌱✨ Hey Grow Fam! Another exciting week has flown by in the grow room, and I’m thrilled with the progress! We kicked off Week 3 with our first set of transplants. The Gorilla Melon was transplanted at the end of the week, while the Papaya Zoap is still patiently waiting for its turn to shine. Each plant that’s been transplanted is now comfortably settled in 15-liter Autopots, filled with PRO-MIX HP BIOFUNGICIDE + MYCORRHIZAE, and wow, I’m loving this mix! 🌱 Why PRO-MIX HP is a Game-Changer For those of you unfamiliar with PRO-MIX HP, let’s take a closer look. This soil provides superior drainage and aeration, thanks to its high porosity. The addition of fibrous peat moss and coarse perlite creates an ideal environment for water flexibility. It’s been perfect for the girls as they transition into their final homes. Plus, the biofungicide and mycorrhizae are doing wonders for root development, giving them all the support they need for vigorous growth. The plants are showing off a beautiful, vibrant green, each with its own unique characteristics—no two plants are the same, and I love that! 🌡️ Environment Update: Temps, RH, and More Let’s talk about the conditions the girls are thriving in! We’re sitting at: • Temperature: 26.7°C • Relative Humidity: 62.9% • VPD: 1.30 (I know it’s a bit high, but they’re handling it like champs) • CO2: 800 ppm • pH: 6.18 • TDS: 215 ppm • Solution Temperature: 23.2°C To make things even more efficient, I’ve adjusted the light height, keeping the PPFD around 360 to 400 to save on energy. These beauties are still soaking in the light perfectly, and I couldn’t be happier with how they’re responding. 💧 Watering and Feeding At this stage, the plants are thriving with just enough nutrients to keep them happy. I’ve kept things simple with a balanced solution, ensuring everything stays within the perfect range. The PRO-MIX HP, with its mycorrhizal fungi, is really helping with nutrient uptake and boosting overall health. It’s amazing to see how quickly they’ve adapted! 🌟 Transplants Complete – Progress Feels Incredible! I’m super excited with how everything is shaping up! Most of the transplants went smoothly, and the growth we’re seeing is just amazing. The Papaya Zoap is still waiting for its final move, but it’s growing strong, getting ready for the next step. It’s an honor to work with these genetics—they’re each unique, yet all thriving in their own way. 🌱💚 🌍 Shoutouts and What’s Coming Next I couldn’t do this without the support of my amazing sponsors and all of you, Grow Fam! A huge shoutout to TrolMaster and Aptus Holland for their top-notch gear and nutrients, and of course, to all my followers—whether you’ve been here from the start or are new to the journey, thank you for the love and support! 💚🙏 Don’t forget to check out my Instagram and YouTube, where the Seed to Harvest Series just kicked off! I’m going deep into all the gear, techniques, and day-to-day grow updates you see here. Exclusive content and more are waiting for you on those platforms, so come by and join the fun! Growers Love to everyone, and here’s to another epic week of growth! 💚🌱 Let’s keep pushing the limits and making magic happen. • Nutrition: @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_es @aptusbrasil @aptus_thailand @aptus_portugal @aptususa_official @aptusplanttechnz @aptusplanttechaus • Controls: @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro • Soil: @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis @promixmitch P.S. Let’s talk about these new Model One LED bars I’m running. 🌿💡 They’re not just any lights—these are full-spectrum beasts designed to give my plants exactly what they need at every stage of growth. The real magic, though? The dimming feature. With just a quick adjustment, I can dial down the intensity without sacrificing the quality of the light. This means I’m saving on energy costs while still delivering top-tier PAR and maintaining a balanced spectrum. It’s not just about blasting plants with light; it’s about giving them the right light at the right time. By fine-tuning the PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density), I’m hitting that sweet spot where the plants thrive, and I don’t have to run the LEDs at full power. So, while I save a bit on electricity, my plants still get the perfect environment to reach their full potential. 🌱✨ This level of control lets me optimize the growth, and trust me, my plants are loving it—just another reason I’m thrilled with the Model One setup. 💚💚💚 Growers Love everyone 💚💚💚
