Very saddened by the turn of events, 3 herms, 2 different grow environments, but each tent had another strain growing along with it. No seeds or problems with the Cookies strainโ€ฆ I had no power outages, no light leaks, no schedule changes, and performed relatively little defoliation during flower. To me, this cannot be attributed to stress, as they showed no sign of stress or deficiencyโ€™s throughout the grow. Long story short, booooooo.

๐ŸŒธ Week 4 Flower Report: Growth, Challenges & Big Changes! ๐ŸŒธ Hey, Grow Diaries Fam! โœจ Weโ€™re here at Week 4 of Flower, and what a week itโ€™s beenโ€”packed with challenges, adjustments, and exciting progress! Before diving into the details, letโ€™s start with a note on my flowering timeline. While this is Week 4, I donโ€™t start counting flower days the moment I flip to 12/12. Instead, I wait for the plants to show true signs of bloom. Itโ€™s a small but significant distinction that keeps things accurate and aligned with the plantsโ€™ development. ๐ŸŒฑ 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: 1๏ธโƒฃ The room was simply too full. 2๏ธโƒฃ And most importantlyโ€”the Papaya Zoap had other plans! Sheโ€™s a fighterโ€”determined, defiant, and constantly reaching for the moon. Despite intense training like super cropping, sheโ€™s still pushing upward, nearly outpacing the LED lights. Challenges like this remind us of a simple truth: gardening mirrors life. Itโ€™s about resilience, adaptation, and unwavering determination. ๐Ÿ’ช This week, I added a second SCROG layer. While this net will support the flowering colas, itโ€™s also there to strategically manage the Papaya Zoap. Why? Because experience has taught me that if she grows out of the LEDโ€™s range, she wonโ€™t finish properlyโ€”and that could disrupt the balance for every other plant in the tent. Itโ€™s all about teamwork, even in the garden. ๐ŸŒŸ 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 channelโ€”trust me, youโ€™ll want to see this process up close! ๐ŸŽฅโœจ Switching to Aptus Holland Minerals A major milestone this week: Iโ€™ve transitioned entirely to Aptus Holland Minerals. ๐ŸŒŠ From now on, itโ€™s just mineralsโ€”no more organic inputs. This marks the start of a new chapter, and Iโ€™m incredibly curious to see how the plants react to these changes. Hereโ€™s the current nutrient mix: โ€ข System Clean: 0.5 ml/L โ€ข Regulator: 0.15 ml/L โ€ข RO Water Conditioner: 0.8 ml/L โ€ข All-in-One Liquid: 2.1 ml/L Iโ€™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. ๐ŸŒฟ 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. Iโ€™ve raised the PPFD to 750 for this stage, with temps steady at 25ยฐC and RH at 63%โ€”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. ๐Ÿ’š 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. ๐ŸŒŸ To the Grow Diaries community and all my followersโ€”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 Daggadnaโ€”check him out on Instagram and show some love! ๐Ÿ’š The plants are heading into the next phase of bloom, and I canโ€™t wait to share how this story unfolds. ๐ŸŒธโœจ As always, stay tuned, stay positive, and letโ€™s keep growing strong together! ๐Ÿ™Œ Growersโ€™ love to all ๐Ÿ’š #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 ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š 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 ๐Ÿ™โ€จ With true love comes happiness ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ™ 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 ๐Ÿ’š Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love to you all ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š P.S. โ€“ A Deep Dive into the ICL-300: Revolutionizing Under-Canopy Lighting The ICL-300 isnโ€™t just another LEDโ€”itโ€™s a game-changer for under-canopy lighting. Unlike traditional LED systems that project light in a single direction, the ICL-300โ€™s 300-degree design ensures even light distribution beneath the canopy. ๐ŸŒŸ 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: โ€ข 300-Degree Light Distribution: This design fills the under-canopy space with optimal light, enhancing photosynthesis where it often gets neglected. ๐ŸŒฑ โ€ข Full Spectrum Output: Tailored to meet the specific needs of plants at every stage, ensuring quality growth from base to apex. โ€ข Energy Efficiency: Advanced LED technology delivers maximum output with minimal energy usage, keeping costs down and sustainability up. ๐Ÿ’ก โ€ข 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. ๐ŸŒŸ With light evenly dispersed across the entire plant, youโ€™re not just growing; youโ€™re sculpting a masterpiece. For me, the ICL-300 is more than a toolโ€”itโ€™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 isnโ€™t just about adding lightโ€”itโ€™s about adding value, efficiency, and balance to the grow process. Iโ€™m beyond excited to see how the ICL-300 transforms the game in my tent, and I canโ€™t wait to share the results with you all! ๐Ÿ’š

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2204 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... ๐Ÿคช But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78โ„‰ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78โ„‰ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78โ„‰ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 12/1- I soaked both seeds for 3 hours in 78โ„‰ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78โ„‰ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged roughly 24 hours later. 12/3- Today their tap roots were about 1/2 to 3/4" so at 11 am I transferred them into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78โ„‰ with a 7.0 ph using a tine off of a plastic fork as a 'mini trowel' to make a hole in the pellet and to gently cover the tap root, leaving only the seed head slightly exposed. This method accomplishes most of the initial work the seed has to do by eliminating having to orientate itself, push it's root down and head up. By 10pm the #1 seed had her cotyledon leaves opened and the #2 isn't far behind! 12/5- Well this is the full Day One for the #2 FBT #2204 and the second day for her sister! I'll keep them in the covered/heated Jiffy tray until I see their roots beginning to emerge from the peat pellet, then I'll transfer them gently into their respective fabric pots. The #1 will be going into the 4g Gronest pot from FastBuds and the #2 will reside in a 3g pot by Wraxly, which I'm trying out for the first time. 12/7- Yesterday I checked the #1 tester and she had roots starting to emerge from her pellet so I transferred her into her 4g Gronest pot. After making a hole in the medium for the peat pellet, I coated the entire surface with Xtreme Gardening Mycos then placed the pellet in the hole and planted her in. Lastly, I watered her in with about 4oz of de-chlorinated water with 3ml/g of FishShit added which was then ph'd to 6.4 @ 75โ„‰ after which I placed a humidome over her for 24hrs to ensure that the humidity stays constant. The #2 tester is doing great and I'm confident that she should be ready to transfer into her fabric pot in the next couple of days! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’š Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿค™

Buenas a todos! Esta semana solo regue con trico mรกs por รบltima vez, aguardando que estรฉn listas para cortar, solo se regara con agua. Utilice 1gr x litro de agua de trico +(Con un ph 6.8) , las ppm no las controle, lo que si debo reconocer que la planta al estar controlada en altura si noto que la cantidad de flores no serรก igual que su antecesora del diario anterior. Pero para alguien que no quiere que la planta no se haga alta, es una buena alternativa, ya que con la malla a 70 centรญmetros del suelo, en altura total no debe pasar los 120 cm( la medi y tiene en su copa mรกs alta, 116 cm)

Che ve ne pare? Ha iniziato prefioritura giusto una settimana fa, la prossima credo sia molto interessante. La pianta non mi ha portato nessuno problema fin ora, neanche in ambito fitofagi. รˆ in forza e pronta a mordere e la cosa che piu mi appaga รจ il non usare fertilizzanti chimici o organominerali. La strada ora รจ tutta rosa e fiori contento e soddisfatto qualsiasi sia il risultato. Concimazione con compost autoprodotto + My banana biobloom/macerato e compostato+ algabloom a stimolazione. Grazie per la visione,per info rispondetemi.

Ok these are Seedsman Zkittlez Auto I got as a replacement. The strain is awesome. This is happy weed that tastes great. I highly recommend. 3 plants have given me 9 ounces WET, so I figure it will be around 4 or 5 when dried. I will update when the product is finished being dried and cured

9/24 Busy as fuck and personal emergencies always hit during harvest season. I took a few tops from my favorite gmo just so I have some if the weather fucks me. I'll take more today probably. WATERED YESTERDAY. I'll post pictures of dry flowers and do the reports. Three are still standing. That huge gmo is going to extracts though. 9/25 9/26 We are getting a week of rain. After looking at my trichs I decided to pull the GMO's I had left. I was sick of cutting branches due to grey mold and I was starting to lose buds to botrytis. Trichs got to about 10% amber on most. Maybe more. I worked like a mule. I was going to leave my favorite gmo and the sherb pie. However, my wife had multiple medical emergencies that required hospitalization. I couldn't risk letting my girls turn to mush if she had to stay. I'm glad with my decision. Everyone now I see is asking about bud rot and pm cures. This happened at the same time last year. She was hospitalized during late late flower. I couldn't keep this updated and I took the plants ad quickly as I could and rough wet trimmed some of them. Some plants got hung whole. I have been in trim jail. I have finished two plants and that is working my balls off. The one in the fifty and the event horizon. I'll do the harvest reports and add pictures but with my wife how she is and the work load I'm going to have to wait. I also left buds to ripen right before the rain and got lots of nice amber flowers that I froze to make a temple ball. I have lots of content. I just need time and a place to do it. I have one lone survivor. The seedling in the ten that seems to be a sativa hybrid. She's a beast and I think can handle the rain due to the fluffy buds. If I see problems I could easily carry it inside. I'll be back with some pics and videos but for now breaks. 9/28 Busy as FUCK. SICK. Been in and out of the hospital with the wife. Looking back on diaries she's in the hospital when I'm harvesting the past few years. I got two strains curing right now. I got a shit ton drying and I'm in trim jail. I haven't taken picturesor been on here but ill be more active i just havent hadcthe time. I'll wait until shits dry and I can do my harvest reports. I'll look to see if I have any pictures I can upload My sativa hybrid survived the rain. All this rain has made its leaves turn yellow and start to drop. It needs food I think. I'll check the trichs but I know it's not ready. The buds are like soda bottles but they are loose. Like a string of calyxes. I don't flgrow sativas so I'll have to ask for some help. I'm trying to decide if I should feed it. It looks hungry. I'm going to have to scope it and then I'll feed if necessary. I'll take pictures and a video when I have the chance. 9/29 Rain stopped and the sun came out. I need to take some pictures and put them up here and do a harvest report. My little BIG Sativa hybrid in the ten got scoped today. It's weird it's starting to foxtail some. . I've had tons of emergencies but I've bern kicking asses and taking names. I've got one GMO (one pheno was much faster flowering than the others), one event horizon and the sherb pie all curing. I'm just waiting on the others to dry. I've got a couple gmos that are just going to extract. One is really nice though and I'm keeping it for smoke. That's trimmed too. I have been working on the other event horizon which will be done today because it's time for it to be cured. I am sick and sore as fuck but I know how important this is and it's mine and my wife's medicine for the year. Sherb pie was a let down quantity wise but I let it get eaten by ear wigs for too long. I've got to get back to it but when I get it done I'll take the pictures and do the reports reports but this breaks over. I've got a BUNCH of fresh frozen too that I'm planning on running bubble hash with and aging a temple ball.
