As of the afternoon of May 15th, I have begun some LST with binder clips/safety pins and some soft pipe cleaners. With the exception of the Critical Jack, I think most of the plants are showing some signs of excess Calcium and Nitrogen so I am going to take CALiMAGic out of their feeding regimen and cut the nutrients down to 1/4 strength as of this afternoon. The Dinafem Critical Jack Auto is now the tallest plant and seems to be the healthiest one of the bunch at this point, she keeps amazing me every day. The Seedsman White Widow Auto is not very tolerant to feedings and its stems & branches seem to be weaker than the others; very bushy. Both the Dinafem Industrial Plant Autoflowering CBD and the Mephisto Ripley's OG are very healthy but are growing very squat and bushy -- which made trying some LST for the first time a bit more challenging! As of the evening of May 17th, I noticed pre-flowers on both the Critical Jack and the Ripley's OG. The Critical Jack is certainly stretching out right now! The White Widow and the Industrial Plant CBD look like they should be getting pre-flowers by the end of the week. The Critical Jack has taken to being under the ViparSpectra 600 light more than the MarsHydro Mars II 1200 light -- something to keep an eye on?

All plants are doing great, we did decide to flush and PH runoff, everything looks good..The Gorilla are a lighter shade than the rest (a little hard to see under the lights) after some reading we learned this is a genetic trait and our attempts to get them a shade darker has resulted in a few burnt tips so we've backed off on the addition nitrogen and are now sticking to out typical flower feeding schedules. These buds are insanely frosty with 2-3 more weeks to go, they look almost furry to the touch.. i'm already convinced this Seedsman Peyote crosses are going to make some of the best tincture we've had in a while! We'll probably cut all nutrients at the end of this week and let them finish on what's already present in the media.. trichomes are roughly 70% clear (30% cloudy) atm and we'll check again early next week! Thanks as always for dropping in and happy harvests everyone!! đŸ’ĄđŸŒ±đŸ˜œđŸ’š PS: I included a pic of our cross (Grower's Choice Green Crack and ILGM Big Bud), It seems to have picked up some of the best traits of the 2 strains.. frostiness of the kush with a dense indica type bud structure đŸŒ±... we started 20 more seeds this week to share with local Growmies! â€ïžđŸŒ± ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

Week 4 Veg Report - TrolMaster Chronicles đŸŒ± 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 đŸŒ± 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. đŸŒ± 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! đŸŒ± Last but definitely not least, shoutout to all the seed banks supporting this journey. You’ve been a huge part of this process, and I couldn’t do it without you! Remember, for exclusive behind-the-scenes content and updates in real time, head over to my Instagram and YouTube channels @DogDoctorOfficial. We’ve got tons of epic content lined up, and you won’t want to miss it! P.S. Let’s talk about the new Model One LED Bars—these beauties are not only powerful but super efficient. 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 🌿💚

Increible la resina que trae esta cepa!! Tiene un olor muy fuerte y apetecible!! Los proximos riegos seran solo con agua a PH 6. Le he metido un calentador en el armario para subir un poco la temperatura ya que con el led apagado estaba a unos 18 grados.

Grow room has a strong pungent smell, starting to flush 1/6 of the plants. They all have started to fill up, got lots of nice fat colas considering they auto flowers. Been defoliating a bit hear and there, where need be Happy to see i am on track for a descent size harvest. Would probably say I’ll harvest all in the next 2-3 weeks

Day 122 / Week 7 of Flo: Since the colour of the fanleaves is fading away pretty quickly, i decided to add in a little nitrogen (in form of BioGrow). I havent been feeding any nitrogen since the beginning of the 5th Week of Flowering. Only the little that is in BioBloom, that is only 2% The complete solution i used is following: 16l Water (4 each plant) 8ml Bio Grow 48 ml Bio Bloom 16ml TopMax 48ml BioHeaven 48ml ActiVera Day 125 / Week 7 of Flo: I am not adding any more nutrients at this stage and i started watering every plant with 2,5l of water every two days as their demand is not that high anymore and i wanna keep humidity down to a minimum to prevent bud rot. To give you an idea in early Flowering i was watering every plant with 5-6l every 3 day's, from 5th week on i was giving them 4l every 3 days and now only 2,5l. As two of the plants (Plant #2 and Plant #4) are starting to look like they are close (about 10-12 days) to harvest i am considering to flush them one of the next days. The other two plants (Plant #1 and Plant #3) seem to be of the same phenotype and look like they can take a few days more, let's see.. Also they grew bigger and stretched more in flowering then the other two, maybe a little more sativa genes.. Day 127 / Week 7 of Flowering: Today i flushed plant #2 (back left) and plant #4 (front right) with 20l of fresh water 💩 from the well. Plants #1 and #3 are recieving 2,5l of plain water every second day for a few more days. Soon i will flush them too.

🌿 **Green-O-Matic Grow Week 9 Update: Nearing Harvest Time!** đŸŒ± Greetings, fellow growers! It's time for an exciting update on the progress of our Green-O-Matic journey as we reach Week 9 of the grow cycle. With anticipation building and buds swelling, let's dive into the latest developments: 🌟 **Bountiful Bud Development**: At Week 9, our Green-O-Matic beauties are truly showing their potential, with buds swelling and resin production kicking into high gear. The once-small flowers have transformed into dense, frosty nuggets, promising a bountiful harvest in the near future. Trichome production is in full swing, indicating peak cannabinoid potency and aromatic complexity. 📏 **Final Stretch of Growth**: As we enter the final stretch of the flowering phase, our focus shifts to maximizing bud development while ensuring optimal ripening conditions. With careful attention to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and airflow, we aim to create the perfect microclimate for our plants to thrive and reach their full potential. 🍃 **Leaf Senescence and Nutrient Management**: As expected in the late flowering stage, some leaves may begin to exhibit signs of senescence as the plant reallocates energy towards bud production. This natural process is perfectly normal and serves as a signal that the plant is nearing maturity. Meanwhile, our nutrient management strategy remains vigilant, providing the essential elements needed to support robust flowering without risking nutrient imbalances or deficiencies. 🔍 **Monitoring Trichome Maturity**: With harvest on the horizon, we're keeping a close eye on trichome development to determine the optimal time for harvest. Using a jeweler's loupe or digital microscope, we inspect trichomes for signs of maturity, aiming for a mix of cloudy and amber trichomes to achieve the desired balance of THC and CBD levels, as well as flavor and aroma profiles. 🌞 **Preparing for Harvest**: As we prepare for harvest day, our checklist includes gathering supplies such as trimming shears, drying racks, and storage containers, as well as ensuring a clean and sanitized workspace to maintain the integrity of our precious buds. Proper post-harvest care and curing techniques will be employed to preserve terpene profiles and enhance overall quality. In conclusion, Week 9 marks a pivotal moment in our Green-O-Matic grow journey, where patience and precision culminate in the imminent harvest of our prized buds. Stay tuned for the next update as we celebrate the culmination of months of dedicated cultivation with a bounty of premium-grade cannabis ready to be enjoyed and shared. Happy growing! 🌿✹ đŸš« **Addendum: Phenotype Bin Update** đŸŒ± In the spirit of transparency and continuous improvement, it's important to note that we've made the decision to bin one out of the three phenotypes due to poor development. Despite our best efforts and meticulous care, this particular phenotype failed to thrive and did not meet our quality standards. While it's always disappointing to part ways with a plant, this decision ensures that our resources and attention remain focused on nurturing the strongest and healthiest phenotypes to their fullest potential. By removing underperforming individuals, we can redirect our efforts towards optimizing the remaining plants for a successful harvest. Rest assured, this adjustment will not deter us from our commitment to excellence. We remain dedicated to the cultivation process, learning from each experience, and striving for the highest standards of quality and consistency in our cannabis cultivation journey. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we navigate the complexities of plant development and refinement. Together, we'll continue to grow and evolve towards greater success in our cultivation endeavors. 🌿đŸ’Ș

Hello, fin de la semaine 7, et de la semaine 1 de floraison. Les plantes ont vraiment bien rĂ©cupĂ©rĂ©es de la dĂ©foliation de la semaine derniĂšre. Elles sont dĂ©jĂ  pleines de nouvelles feuilles! C’est dingue.. un gĂ©nĂ©tique vraiment solide. Pour le moment les plantes n’ont pas encore dĂ©clarĂ© leur floraison, elles commence Ă  stretcher je trouve, donc je suppose que c’est en bonne voie. J’ai lĂ©gĂšrement baissĂ© l’humiditĂ©, je suis Ă  50%, et je vais rĂ©duire progressivement les prochaines semaines. J’ai eu une trĂšs trĂšs lĂ©gĂšre brĂ»lure du Ă  un dĂ©marrage peu ĂȘtre trop rapide des engrais de Floraison mais sans grand dĂ©gĂąts. A retenir pour la prochaine fois. VoilĂ  c’est Ă  peu prĂšs tout pour cette semaine. HĂąte de voir la floraison s’installer... Happy grow...😎

Hello Diary, Cherry Pie has completed the second week of flowering. The flowers are forming nicely, the areas around the flowers are a lighter green color, so it looks like it has Christmas lights on it. Cherry Pie has started to stagnate in growth, this week only 9 cm, now the plant will direct most of its energy into the flowers. The leaves are a healthy green color and so far they do not show me any signs that the plant is missing anything. Watering was every three days, I continued to add CalMg and Bio-Bloom Fertilizer. The conditions in the grow box are now much better. The temperature is around 28 degrees and the humidity is below 50%. Overall I am very happy with the growth and progress so far. Here is a quick overview of the week. 24/08/2024 - Day 31. Watering. I prepared 9 liters of water. I added CalMg 1 ml/lit, Bio-Bloom Fertiliser 1.5 ml/lit and then lowered the p.H. to 6.0. With this amount I watered all three plants evenly. 27/08/2024 - Day 34. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier. 28/08/2024 - Day 35. End of the second week of flowering, or the fifth week from the beginning of vegetation. Photographing and measuring the height of the plants. Cherry Pie - Day 35. - 69 cm That's all from me for this week, see you soon.

Had bend her main cola over again!! She was growing into the light. She just keeps spreading out too! Wish I had a bigger tent for her. The buds are starting to fatten a bit. I defoliated her again. Trying to get some better light penetration and air flow.
