Commencing Week 8: day 50 on January 19th Update is late my sincerest apologies. I will make it up by giving a very thorough smoke report when all is done. Otherwise all is going very well 😁😁👏👏 On day 50 I took the head off of bloody skunk. I checked trichome colors under USB microscope. At least 90% fully milky-white with maybe 5 or 6% Amber and the remainder clear. 😁 On day 55 I gave all of the plants a fan leaf trim including the remaining bottom half of bloody skunk. as I sit here and think about it I believe this will help with ensuring the entire plant ripens and matures at the same time - versus the tops being ready before the bottoms. I still plan on letting the bottoms of all these plants go way beyond the recommended time to see if I can initiate the process of rodelization. Either way I am glad to report that Bloody skunks pollenization looks like it is resulting in some seeds. (See photo). In hindsight my only concern is that because the plant finished a bit earlier than I expected the seeds may not make it to full maturity but I believe it should be okay we'll just have to wait and find out. That being said besides the bloody skunk being done just a few days early everything else seems to be right on time as described in plant profiles on company websites.👍 That's all for now thank you for your patience and attention and support and as usual feel free to leave any suggestions comments or questions and I'll do my best to get back sooner rather than later 😁

Fed Recharge for the first time this week, also fed Espoma Organic Bloom. Did some defoliation too. She seems happy and healthy overall, but I see what I believe is LED light burn on some of the sugar leaves on the upper most buds. I jacked up the LED light as high as I can without completely reorganizing all plants, lights, etc. Even completely reorganizing the tent, I'd only be able to gain 2-3 inches of height so not sure if its worth it. Now that I harvested the Blue Mammoth I have a little room to try some LST-style bending and try to get the plant farther away from the light that way. We'll see what happens during the week.

I planted germinated and planted 4 Sucker Punch Autos on July 12th. They had all sprouted by July 13th and are just finishing their first week above ground! This is my first time growing auto flowers so I am excited to see how it goes :) They are being vegged under a 1000w MH which is dimmable and set at 600w for the time being to help with temperatures.

Hello Growmies, As we approach the zenith of week 11, the crescendo of our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids' lifecycle is upon us. In harmony with the symphonic change in colors, their leaves continue the fade, a beautiful degradation that nature orchestrates so well, offering a visual feast that marks the prelude to their grand finale. Each Watermelon Candy, from #1 to #3, has now fully embraced the transition, parading a spectrum of colors from golden yellows to deep purples, like the setting sun giving way to twilight's embrace. The buds, dense and resplendent with trichomes, now resemble crystalline sculptures, each one capturing the essence of our nurturing dedication. The aroma has deepened, each inhalation a tapestry of earth and sweetness, indicative of the rich, flavorful experience soon to be savored. It's a heady bouquet that promises much to the connoisseur and a testament to the TrolMaster's steadfast governance over their environment. Watermelon Candy #1, with its standout bud formation, is a sculpture in botanical form, a true marvel of genetic and environmental synergy. Its siblings, #2 and #3, are not a step behind, flaunting their heavy blossoms with a gravitas that speaks to the imminent harvest. With the harvest scheduled for next week, the excitement is palpable. Our routine remains unaltered; like the beat of a drum leading to the climax of a song, we maintain the rhythm that has served us well thus far. The anticipation of the cut is an excitement unto itself - the final act in our labor of love. Patience is our companion in these final days as we prepare for the harvest. The Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids stand at the ready, soon to transition from their vegetative state to a form that will bring joy and relief to many. Stay lifted, Salokin

As we continue to thread on this amazing journey together, here’s to week 8. 🥂 Our lady has stopped stretching and started bulking. The smell each time I pick her up is insane! A real Tropicana tree 😍 She’s drinking more and I can see a slight change in bud color. Before harvest I’m aiming for amber trichomes and yellowing leaves so I’m getting my jeweler’s loop ready 🔎 This run has been pretty informative, I’m grateful for the skill and knowledge learned along the way. Week 9 should be interesting, let’s go 💚

8/10 Week 4 and she is ... well better Gave a one time of Recharge and Fish Shit she likes that stuff. Raised her light another inch see if it helps. Nuets as is PM feeding gave 1ml Kangaroots just to see if we can get her going 8/11 She is building so count that as a win hit 4" with a new node Keeping the light a bit higher for now 8/12 Moved the lights to 30" just looking for a veg sweet spot Seems hitting her roots is paying off will give another dose of kangaroots tonight 8/13 Looking good so increased nuets to 10 and 10 of cocotek A&B Good vertical growth still debating topping 8/14 Well she has three days to bulk up then we flip the lights. 8/15 We have decided to let her grow naturally, topping now would stress right as we flip, not a great idea so she is what she is as we do not want to stress this girl any further. Increased nuets to 12ml/gal each of cocotek AB, drinking more now Pic tonight Flipping in 2... 8/16 Good growth over night Flipping in 1...

Week 8: Flowering Stage Rising Temperatures and Weather Challenges The temperatures are expected to rise slightly this week, but intermittent thunderstorms and heavy rain are also forecasted. This unpredictable weather presents a challenge, but I remain hopeful for continued growth. Snail Attack I had been leaving the plants outside overnight, but during a late-night check, I found three giant slugs feasting on my Gorilla Cookies buds. These damn snails just won't give up. I'm seriously considering installing some kind of automatic deterrent system. Feeding and Watering Consistency The amount of water and nutrients remains unchanged. Each plant continues to receive 3 liters of nutrient solution in their 11-liter pots to prevent salt buildup and ensure optimal growth. Growth Observations Banana Purple Punch and Blue Dream: Both strains seem to have halted their vertical growth. They are now fully focused on bud development. Tangie: This plant is still vigorously growing with new shoots appearing everywhere. Tangie seems perfect for low-stress training (LST) and could probably handle a well-timed topping without issues. I had to do some light defoliation to make sure everything receives enough light. Gorilla Cookies: While it’s not growing as aggressively as before, it is concentrating on flowering. Despite this, it continues to gain some height. Looking Ahead As the flowering stage progresses, I'm eager to see how the plants adapt to the changing weather conditions and how they continue to develop. Despite the challenges, the plants are showing resilience, and the buds are looking promising. Update 18.07: Pest Problems Bad news, growmies. During my daily inspection today, I discovered some unwelcome pests. Some leaves on all the plants had white or silver dots, which I suspect are caused by thrips. The Banana Purple Punch plant was particularly affected, with numerous black dots on the top buds, likely aphids. I had to remove two small buds 😞. To combat this, I brought all the plants inside for a thorough shower and removed any affected leaves. I then sprayed them with a light neem oil solution, taking care to avoid the buds to prevent affecting their taste. The Banana Purple Punch plant has been isolated to prevent further infestation. I'm open to any advice or suggestions on how to handle this situation more effectively. What else do you think I should do? Update 21.07 The heat has been intense lately, with temperatures soaring to around 31°C (88°F). Despite this, my garden is showing remarkable resilience. After battling thrips and aphids, my plants are bouncing back. The Tangie, Blue Dream, and Gorilla Cookies no longer display any signs of thrip damage on their leaves. It seems the light neem oil solution has done the trick. However, my Banana Purple Punch remains a bit of a mystery. This strain appears particularly sensitive to nutrients, even though all my plants receive the same care and feeding. While the other plants look lush and vibrant, the Banana Purple Punch shows some troubling symptoms. Some leaves exhibit early signs of nitrogen toxicity, while others curl upwards with no apparent nutrient burn at the tips. Additionally, the large fan leaves are yellowing. Despite these issues, the buds are frosty and thriving. I recently checked the trichomes and found that most are still clear, even on my Blue Dream, which already has a promising main bud. It's clear that patience will be rewarded with this beauty 😍

If anyone has any advice on how to improve this grow please comment below. thanks for checking out my diary! End of week 3/Day 27: ive been flushing alot before giving nutrients to the plant and it seems to be working, plant health is slowly improving again! Started LST a few nights ago and my plant has lost its christmas tree shape :'D the canopy is more flat and more light is getting to all growth on the plant so im happy! I started giving some rhizotonic near the stem to help with the plant being stressed. it definitely helped make big roots too! So excited to try some buds! another month or so yet :) Day 28 - 20/10/19 LST is amazing! i have almost all the growth getting a decent amount of light! im going to enjoy shaping the plant over the next week or so! Day 31 - 23/10/19 Still doing a light LST, most of the canopy is getting enough light now and the main stem is still growing more nodes. After getting some advice from a grower with the same model of light as me i now know i can hang my light a lot closer to the plants. im going to get rope rachets hooked up in the next week so i can adjust hang height. I also got an indoor chilli starter kit and planted jalapeño, cayenne and habanero seeds in some nice small terra cotta pots :) and i posted a few pictures to show the setup :) just cant wait until the whole tent looks more like a garden hahah :) 12 hours later - Added a video to show progress Day 32: 24/10/19 woke up this morning and the quick one grew upwards out of the LST :) the top has developed and looks more like an industrial weed plant now which is really exciting! ive been following a water schedule and accidentally gave a few more hours of rest to the plants last night and they have stopped drooping more or less. Re-lst'd the plant so all growth is receiving light and measured the space between the plant and grow light. its about 60cm/24Inches away which will do fine. Quick one is 18cm with LST, if i measure the stem itself its about 21-22cm tall - about 9 inches. Other than that the chillis will take up to 2 weeks to germinate, ive been keeping the moisture up around them with a mix of Rhizotonic/Water (1ml/1L) and also sprayed some on the soil as ive found it actually helps seeds germinate quicker with more strength or life in them. Will update soon for week 5 and considering the smoke is so bad in my town you get an urge not to smoke it i am so excited to be near the finish line :) roll on medicine!

after all the mistakes made on week 3, they seem to be recovering pretty well. i've been paying attention and trying to expose as many tops to light as possible.. decided to defoliate them as they were getting a little bit too bushy, and lower ends of the plant were not getting as much light

Our White Truffle by Zamnesia is a very interesting plant, it has a fantastic heritage and promises phenomenal autumn blooms, let's see what happens. Remember that we are growing a plant worked with the techniques indicated and one left to grow without pruning to preserve its speed, in the previous/next diary you will find the other plant of the same strain. In this diary we find the plant left to grow straight. It is a little smaller than the others because it was planted a little later, I had messed up with a main lining and had to start again. It seems to us to be in great shape, perhaps a little too much alga grow and so we slowed down the nitrogen leaving room only for additives, since it started to grow it goes very fast. Comparison is the salt of experience, so the plant in the other diary will be worked very differently, go and see it to compare them. We have started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhizae Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot). We are feeding // 1 ml/l Power Roots - 1 ml/l Pure Zym - 1 ml/l Sugar Royal We sprayed 3 ml/l Vita Race Foliare once a week. https://plagron.com/it We always have the excellent Mycorrhizae from RQS running in the soil https://www.zamnesia.io/it/5778-mix-micorrize-easy-roots.html Try this strain, it's an autumnal delicacy ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11184-zamnesia-white-truffle-semi.html Zamnesia Brief Description // The result of crossing GG and Peanut Butter Breath, White Truffle boasts a first-class lineage, taking the best of some of the best American cultivars. And as you would expect, she has a lot to offer: a high THC content, an irresistible flavour and a relaxing, carefree effect. Oh, and let's not forget that she's incredibly easy to grow too!

Learned a lot from this grow and am very happy with the results. Pulled 2.8 Oz and 1.1 Oz of trim/popcorn buds in a one gallon pot. Definitely wont be doing that again, but had a lot of fun throughout the entire process. Going to be starting another grow soon! Very excited for that.
