Week 6 flower. Not much to report with this one. Growing very slow, little buds, smell musky and not very nice but improving, very frosty and getting frostier. Watered in Gaia Green Soluble Seaweed Extract 0-0-17. Day 36 flower I turned off Blumat drip and will water with the watering wand from here on out. Just another potential runaway dripper so I eliminated the risk. I will just build another reliable system with a timer and use the Blumat outside. Thanks for the view! Have a great week!

Pfff, explicaros que estas green ak xL son una variedad bastante difícil de cultivar, los cambios ambientales le sientan fatal, y hay que tener cuidado con la alimentación ya que se Sobrefertiliza fácilmente así que ojo, eso por un lado. Por otro si eres un cultivador con varios años de experiencia y todo te sale bien, es probarla, porque el sabor de esta cepa compensa la dificultad de su cultivo. Thc hasta 18% , sativa predominante. Genéticas: Afghan x Colombian x Mexican x Thai Landrades.

🌸 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! 💚

Hey now, this week went pretty good, she is stretching but not too much, she went from 28 to 34 inches, but the past couple days she seems to be slowing down with vertical growth. I started the transition today over to bloom nutrients, so I gave her half Veg and half Bloom nutes today, and I will have her all the way switched over by the end of the week. I figure I will probably get a couple more inches which would put her at 3 foot tall. I am definitely seeing pistils start to form all over her. I have been defoliating her about every other day, but I will stop this week and pretty much let her do her thing. I now have her running under a Mars Hydro 300 watt, and a Vipar Spectra 240 watt light. My planl was to fill a 4X4 with a single main-lined plant, and she has almost done that as she is touching the walls on all four sides. There are pretty many tops on her, so hopefully they turn into alot of flower but I will find out soon. I hope everyone had a nice weekend, stay safe, and Blaze On!

So I had a little less nutrient last week then i needed. Def a calcium deficiency. I think it's clearing up but this plant has spot all over it. I changed the water, gave it the right amount of nutrients and a little exra hydrated lime for calcium. Hydro is hard. I hoping It's not sick. I hope It doesn't get the other plants sick. Just a few weeks left.

Día 69 (25/03) Su hermana Gorilla Cookies FF muestra una ligera necrosis... me preocupa... Día 70 (26/03) Necrosis en Gorilla Cookies muy avanzada en solo 2 días. Hablo con el gran @dogdoctorofficial y me hace ver que estoy regando mal... He dejado que se seque demasiado el sustrato! (como en la fase vegetativa) Y la Gorilla Cookies FF al ser la planta más grande y que más agua pide, está demasiado sedienta... Voy a modificar los patrones de riego para que el problema no persista en Gorilla Cookies FF ni aparezca en las otras plantas! Riego 0,5 Litro H20 sin nutrientes. TDS 225 PPMs - pH 6,6 Día 71 (27/03) Riego 1,25 Litro H20 + Wholly Base 3 ml/l + Solid Green 1,75 ml/l + Early Flower 0,75 ml/l + Big Bloom 1,5 ml/l de Gen1:11 TDS 1150 PPMs - pH 6,2 Día 72 (28/03) La necrosis en Gorilla Cookies FF se ha detenido 😁 y las flores siguen creciendo Observa alguna mancha de necrosis también en Wedding Cheesecake FF y decido a subir un poco la lámpara Ahora el PPFD en apical es de unos 830 PPFD Día 73 (29/03) Riego 0,5 Litro H20 sin nutrientes. TDS 225 PPMs - pH 6,6 Día 74 (30/03) Riego 1,25 Litro H20 + Wholly Base 3 ml/l + Solid Green 1,75 ml/l + Early Flower 0,75 ml/l + Big Bloom 1,5 ml/l de Gen1:11 TDS 1150 PPMs - pH 6,2 Día 75 (31/03) Detecto una ligera necrosis en Purple Lemonade FF y en Wedding Cheesecake FF.

Hey guys I am a day late on the update cuz I went away for the weekend to a buddy's bachelor party and ended up with a broken clavicle in two places and need surgery tomorrow. I dont know how I'm gunna keep things rollin here but I'll figure it out. Anyways I couldn't get the plants out of the tent tonight but when I have some help tmm I'll try and get some better individual pics. I fed them before I left Friday at 1110 ppm with the green buzz and got a little burn, which is a good thing because that kinda shows me that less is more with this line and may save you a few bucks over time. It's also nice that there isnt 11 different bottles to pour from so far I couldn't be more impressed with GBL. The planta were all pretty bone dry today but look better than ever. Pics were taken at day 29 this week, temps have been around 73°F and 58% RH. This tent is in a basement so even with the dehumidifier the rh is pretty high especially with the lights out but the plants seem to enjoy it and I have plenty of air circulating. The big one is one of the more impressive girls in the tent in terms of overall structure. I pray that I get some fiery red Panama pistils although its probly unlikely. The little one is hidden in the corner I couldn't really get to it. I'll get some pics tmm when I take them out of the tent to feed I just gave them a splash tonight to hold them over til I have help. Edit: I fucked somethin up here in the video I put day 29 bloom, these were flipped on june 9th and got 36 hr dark period, I uploaded the video last monday so it was actually on day 22 flower not day 29 but it's a little late to edit the video so ignore that day and I'll make a new one tonight which is actually day 28

This week the temperature rised a few degrees, so the lamp had to be lifted 5 cm to keep things not so warm (around 27.0 ºC. Still using Big Bud, Bud Candy and Powder Feeding Long Flowering. The Cream Mandarine F1 and the Azure Haze odor is getting sweeter everyday!

Plant is absolutely pumping. A total monster! I did some light defoliation of inside leaves. Split the main stalk about 4 cm at the top manifold while doing this. Tied it back together.

Loving this week! A week of healing and growth. Topped some side branches on the og kush plant in middle. I’m still stumped if I should top again? Or just let me veg for a few more weeks??? Using water in between nutritions. Made a mistake with one of the plants tied down. I loved the other pot it was tied too and almost ripped the plant in half! Oh man!! But she’s tapped and I’m recovery now! Super excited for the growth and learning! Loving how things are! Happy growing friends “ been a couple days sense last updated og kush is doing better healing ❤️‍

Cut the plant and let hanging upside-down for 1,5 weeks by 50-55% RH and 17-21°C. Was very easy to trim - wet as well as dry sugar leaves both goes smoothly and fun. Left dried and trimmed buds burp for another week. Made DME extracts. Tested both weed and extracts, strong pleasure :) It was handy and fun to grow on GD as always - thank you guys! And thank you very much to the community for being there, spreading love and inspiring!

I got rid of one if the gas tax x obama runtz this week it was just not keeping up with the group. I'm already making a few if the plants wait to flower so other plants can catch up the one I killed was 10 days behind the next plant in the tent. On the other hand the plant still alive it's still small but soon as it got topped it reached fir the sky and started trucking along This past week, the plants went from being weak little plants that had just been top and now they are on there way to being nice and sturdy. I could flip them to flower now if I wanted. I plan on letting them grow a few more nodes on each branch before I give them the flip. My hopes is I get longer colas if I let it ride out longer in veg cutting off all the lower growth b4 flower. I have had the light on 25% still but today I raised it up to 3o% I like to have them handling 40% nicely before I turn them to flower
