Day 86, 5th of December 2020: Lovely solid plant! No complain at all, no problem at all. Easy to grow ;) Not much to report we are here at the 5th week and I am happy with her! The lamp is now on 11 hours and off 13 hours. Every week 15 minutes was taken off and after 4 weeks here we go. Strated 12/12 and now 13/11 wanted try to imitate the nature as the light days are getting shorter. Fertilization has changed no more epsom salt from this week and I will stop giving nitrogen as well from next week.

🌿 Week 4 — Bushy & Thriving! 🌿 #PermanentMarker #ZamnesiaSeeds The girls really filled out this week — super bushy and thick growth all around! I topped them once and gave them a good defoliation to open things up, as they were getting quite dense. I bumped the feed up slightly to 600 ppm @ pH 6.0, still running the Aptus Clean Program with R.O. Water Conditioner, Regulator, and All-in-One Liquid. 💧 Raised the Future of Grow Black Series 600 a bit to encourage some stretch before the flip. I’ll be adding an under canopy light (UCL) as soon as it arrives, and later this week I’ll set up a trellis/net for support. The plan is to flip them after week 5. So far, they’re looking really nice and healthy — one pheno is even showing a bit of color on the tops already. Excited to see how they develop from here! 🚀

🌱 Divine Seeds Week Three Veg Report 🌱 Hey, fellow growers! 🌿✨ Welcome back to our weekly update on the Divine Seeds journey. We’re now into Week Three of the vegetative stage, and our plants are loving their new environment. The Moon Rock, Opium, and Big Demon are thriving after the transplant, and we’re excited to share the latest developments. 🌟 Week Three Highlights 🌟 This week, we plugged in the Autopots and turned them on, letting gravity do its magic. From now on, we’ll rely on the Regulator and CaMg-Boost in the reservoir. Our soil is rich in organic matter and nutrients, so we’re testing if just the organic inputs in the soil, plus CaMg and Regulator, can sustain the entire run. Let’s dive into the details: 1. Moon Rock 🚀 • Growth: Vigorous vertical and lateral growth, with lush, broad leaves. • Health: The transplant has boosted its vigor, and the plant looks healthier than ever. • Notes: Moon Rock is showing exceptional adaptability and strength. 2. Opium 🌸 • Growth: Steady and balanced growth with symmetrical leaf development. • Health: Opium is thriving, with no signs of stress or deficiencies. • Notes: This plant continues to flourish with grace and beauty. 3. Big Demon 💪 • Growth: Robust and vigorous, with thick stems and expansive leaf growth. • Health: The transplant has enhanced its already impressive growth. • Notes: Big Demon remains a powerhouse in our garden. 🌟 Nutrient Strategy 🌟 Our feeding regimen this week focuses on: • Regulator (0.15ml/L): Helps reduce stress and improves overall plant health by regulating plant processes and enhancing nutrient uptake. • CaMg-Boost (0.25ml/L): Provides essential calcium and magnesium, preventing deficiencies and supporting strong cell wall development and photosynthesis. Our rich organic soil is packed with biolife and nutrients, so this experiment will test if these organic inputs, combined with CaMg and Regulator, can sustain the plants through their entire growth cycle. 🌟 LED Lighting and Control System 🌟 To support our plants’ growth, we’re using the Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro LED. Here’s why it’s amazing: • Efficiency: Provides high light output with low energy consumption, ensuring optimal growth while being energy-efficient. • Full Spectrum: Delivers a balanced spectrum of light, mimicking natural sunlight to support all stages of plant growth. • Coverage: The compact design ensures even light distribution across the entire canopy, promoting uniform growth. We’re also using the TrolMaster Hydro X controller with its impressive 3-in-1 sensor for temperature, humidity, and light detection. This controller allows us to: • Monitor and Control: Keep precise control over the grow environment, ensuring optimal conditions for our plants. • Automation: Automate various aspects of the grow room, reducing manual work and improving efficiency. • Data Insights: Gain valuable insights into environmental conditions, helping us make informed decisions. 🌟 Key Observations 🌟 • Plant Response: The plants have responded exceptionally well to the transplant and nutrient strategy. • Growth Rate: Significant increase in growth rate, thanks to the balanced environment and nutrient-rich soil. • Health and Vigor: The plants are healthy, with vibrant foliage and strong structures. 🌱 Next Steps 🌱 As we move into Week Four, our focus will be on: • Monitoring the Autopots: Ensuring the system runs smoothly and the plants receive consistent moisture. • Observing Plant Responses: Keeping a close eye on how the plants respond to the nutrient strategy. • Maintaining Optimal Conditions: Using the Lumatek LED and TrolMaster controller to maintain perfect growing conditions. Stay tuned for more updates as our Divine Seeds continue to flourish. We’re excited to see the results of this nutrient strategy and share every milestone with you on this incredible journey! Happy growing, and may your gardens be ever green! 🌿💚 #DivineSeeds #WeekThreeVegReport #AptusHolland #MoonRock #Opium #BigDemon #GrowDiaries #PlantMagic #GreenThumb #Inspiration #LumatekZeus #TrolMasterHydroX Germination method 🌱 @thecannakan Genetics @divine.seeds Nutrition @aptusholland 🌿 @aptus_world 🌎 @aptus_es 🌍 @aptusbrasil 🌱 @aptus_thailand 🌿 @aptus_portugal 🌳 @aptususa_officiala 🍀 @aptusplanttechnz 🌺 @aptusplanttechaus 🍃 Ambient controls🎮 @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro Soil @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis LED - @lumatekeu Watering- @autopot_usa @autopot_global Love and attention- @dogdoctorofficial #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trolmaster #trolmastereurope #trolmastersecrets #Autopots #GreenJoy 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 💚 More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found ⬆️link in the profile description ⬆️ Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All 💚

Hey everyone! Quick update on the grow. We're officially in week 3, day 2 of veg, and so far, everything’s looking pretty solid. I’ve noticed a bit of slight nutrient burn starting to show on the edges of the leaves, so I’ll need to monitor that. Nothing too serious yet, but I’ll be keeping an eye on it and adjusting if needed. Today I did a little more defoliation to help open up the canopy, and I also topped both plants to encourage some more lateral growth. After topping, I finished off the training with some LST (low stress training) to spread the canopy out and give the lower shoots a chance to catch up. I’m aiming for an even canopy spread, so this should help with that. I gave them a full watering with 3L of pH’d water at 5.8 and 400ppms going in. However, the runoff came out higher than I wanted again, Looks like next feed will be just plain pH’d water to try and bring those numbers down a bit, similar to my last run Everything’s moving in the right direction, though, so I’m feeling good. Looking forward to seeing how they develop in the next week! Thanks for following along, and feel free to drop any tips or suggestions! Happy growing! ✌️🌱

Day 50 Flowering: Hi growmies. A great week again with these gems. They are all now in their final stage of flowering and I expect them to swell a little more and also to begin the ripening of the trichromes to all cloudy with a few amber ones. They are all doing really well and look to be fed as they need and also no signs of any deficiency. I do kot flush as I am in Living organic soil/coco and also do not use salt based nutes throughout the grow to need to wash from the medium. I also do not believe that flushing has any benefit besides error correction or to reset the medium again. With a slow dry , they use all the harsh chlorophyll that is mistaken for nutrient traces often in quicker drying methods. Herz Og by her standard growing cycle , should be finishing now but I think she can be easily pushed another week or so. Her smell is really sweet now up close with a nice tacky feel to her too. She isnt a big plant but is really well laid out for those pollen transporters to sand the wind to get through . Strawberry Colais am absolute trichrome monster. She is really packing the trichs onto her budstacks and sugar leaves tonwjere they don't look real close up. The camera focuses and tries again to refocus when I take pics of her .lol Certainly knew of the heaviest trichrome producers I have grown to date... I can see hownthe cola name is relevant too with how "fizzy" they appear . She smells candy sweet and very nice . Monster Mash looks alone and like the lanky girl at school who tries to look smaller. lol Her buds are fairly spaced out on the long stems and look more clumpy than joined up. I had to bend the main one over to allow the lights to be kept even for the other plants but she is getting more light to the lower portion now. Her buds are not very fat or chunky yet but i am hoping this week and the shogun Dragon force will help change that. Smell wise shebjas a fuel/sweet aroma to her which is familiar. lets see how she finishes now. So it seems that this last few weeks will sort the wheat from the chaff with a yield report soon. These strains have been very simple and easy to grow and manage with very little effort on my part. If your up for a grow with an auto , definitely consider these genetics from Exotic seeds , my experience so far has been all positive and their end results are top shelf buds and taste. Great work Exotic breeders and staff alike. Roll on another week and diary report. be safe and well folks.

Black Runtz from Weed Seeds Express is a real showstopper, with its deep purple buds practically dripping in frosty trichomes. The aroma is a mouthwatering mix of sweet and spicy, with hints of grape and berry. But what really sets Black Runtz apart is its striking appearance. As it matures, the leaves fade to black, creating a beautiful contrast with the sparkling trichomes. And let's not forget the calyxes – they turn black too, adding to the strain's unique and exotic look. Black Runtz delivers a powerful punch of relaxation and euphoria that'll melt away stress and leave you feeling amazing. If you're looking for a top-shelf strain that's both beautiful and potent, Black Runtz is a must-try. I recently upgraded to the GrowPro Solutions Under Canopy lights, and wow, what a difference! The colors on my plants are seriously popping – they look so vibrant. Plus, I think it really helped them finish strong. If you're looking to boost your grow, I'd definitely recommend checking these out.

Last week of the apple fritter.. As Im writing this I already harvested it. Ill report back in 2 weeks after the drying and before the curing. This was an amazing journey that its not yet finished. Drying and curing is very important and ill be doing the following: Drying Environment: - Temperature: Maintain between 18-22°C (65-72°F). This prevents terpenes from degrading while slowing the drying process. - Humidity: Aim for 50-60% relative humidity to avoid mold and overly crispy buds. - Airflow: Use a small fan to keep air circulating, but don’t let it blow directly on the buds to avoid uneven drying. - Darkness: Keep the tent as dark as possible. Light can degrade cannabinoids like THC. - Timeframe: Drying typically takes 7-14 days. Stems should snap (not bend) when drying is complete. Curing: - Jar Storage: Once the buds are dry, ill trim them again properly - Humidity Packs: Using Boveda packs (58-62%) to maintain proper curing humidity inside jars. - Burping: For the first 2 weeks, open jars for 10-15 minutes daily to release excess moisture and allow fresh air in. Afterward, reduce burping to once a week for long-term storage. - Curing Time: At least 2 weeks minimum.. Ill comeback soon with final dry weight. Wet was 400g. Keep up the good work galera 💜

The leaves are yellowing on one of the plants because it got hot and I forgot to water them for a couple days, two plants are flowering now and it doesn't have pollen sacs like the one with yellowing leaves has, the height measurement wont be 100% accurate as I don't measure my plants when I water them.

I still have problems with high levels of humidity, usually around 65% during the night and 55% during the day, I ended up removing more leaves to try to reduce the amount of humidity in the air. I can see that the buds grew since last week, I was expecting the buds to be a bit bigger this week, but I'm happy with the current size, but I'm happy with the amount of trichomes present. DAY 96 PH - 5.93 Solution Temp - 19 PPM-2000 Watering Volume per plant - 4L DAY 103 - Water PH - 6 Solution Temp - 18 PPM-690 Watering Volume per plant - 4L

Hello Diary, Cherry Pie has finished its vegetative cycle and is entering the flowering phase. This week it grew an impressive 20 cm, lengthened and got a lot of new leaves and formed a nice shape. The leaves are a nice green color and look healthy. It is really developing very nicely which makes me super happy. I can't believe how in just 21. days the plant reaches this stage of development. That indoor is incredible, I am still impressed to this day. The summer heat is still present which affects the temperature in the grow box, this week the average was 29 degrees although sometimes the temperature rises to over 31 degrees. But I don't notice that it is harming them, I make sure to water them regularly, so that the soil does not remain too dry although that sometimes happens. Every week, as the plants grow, I increase the amount of water when watering. I continue to add Bio Grow Fertilisier and CalMg with each watering. pH I drop to 6.0 with Plagron's Lemon Kick. At the end of the week, more precisely after taking photos for day 21., I increased the power of the led lights to 80%. Here is a quick overview of the week: 10/08/2024 - Day 17. Watering. I prepared 8 liters of water, added Bio Grow Fertiliser and CalMg and with that amount I evenly watered all three plants on the farm. 13/08/2024 - Day 20. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as the three days before. 14/08/2024 - Day 21. Photographing and measuring the height of the plants. Official end of the vegetation phase. Cherry Pie - Day 21. - 37 cm That's all from me for this week, thanks to everyone for the comments and see you soon.

25/11 Day 73 already and starting another week (week 4 since I changed the photoperiod); budlets are not completely formed but still look like more of preflowers. She continues to stretch, she's growing 4-5 cm per day, a complete beast. I think she could be stretching more before the aspect of the preflowe/budlets cahnge much. Comparatively with the pictures of other Grinspoon's growers, the flowering stage is going on very slowly...well I thought the same when she was at vegetative stage, I saw everybody's Grinspoon specimen was much bigger and much sooner than the one of mine, but in the end her growth has been so big that I 'd have liked better she hadn't grown that much. She's entirely taken over the grow room! The light spectrum I use does not promote much stretching per se, as I've seen it on many other hybrid strains in the last two and a half years since I have this system. It's a 80cm*80cm*160 cm grow box (Darkbox) and so far I think the environment for the plant is, in general, let's say fine (except perhaps the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter). Humidity is a little high, becuase my place is humid and I don't specailly control it but I'd guess it is roughly 60% HR throughout the year. Being that said, I blame this stretching entirely to her genes and yes, my lack of caution to have prevented all this enormous growth from happening. Really I didn't want to regret later, of not having the size of the plant I wanted and also for not knowing how much she would stretch (I wouldn't have thought this much) I let her grow more than I should have. But one learns from his mistakes and by growing new strains, every strain has different phenos and one never knows which is destined to one's plant. The fertigation solution is now 0.5 mL/L Pro-Silicate; 1,3 mL/L Cal-Max; 0,4 g/L Flower Power Bloom fertilizer at pH 6.1-6.2, EC is 1.35 mS/cm and I raised the fertigation volume to 6L keeping the frequency. Day 74 (26(11) she keeps on stretching, I'm seeing another way to raise the lights the maximum I can, I see the budlets forming more definitely so I don't think she'll be stretching much longer, perhaps and luckily this week she stops doing it. Meantime all I can do is keeping the tallest shoots out of the line of the led lights to prevent bleaching of the leaves or the budlets being burnt. God help me with this. I'll post some pics tomorrow if I have more time. My plants do take more than 60% of my free time at home (but I <3 growing marijuana). Day 75 (27/11) I used a few hooks from the bathtub's curtain to hold the growlights and managed to raise them a precious distance. Day 76 (28/11/2019) i jumped off the bed to assess the sitaution and evertyhing was normal, a big blade burned it tip for proximity to a led light, but the bud tips seem no to be damaged -yet-because of the strong lights/heat. One fertigation (inflow EC 1.35 mS/cm. EC run off 1,5 mS/cm) "en dan ben ik klaar met haar". Day 77 29-11-2019 she keeps growing tall and she's become something almost unmanageable. A couple of shoots have surpassed the lights. If only they won't be burned 🙏 Day 78 (30/11) She seems to be stopping growing. When I saw her I realised extraction fan was gone, fortunately being Saturday I could find a replacement soon. I find that run off pH is 5.3 (collected at the last portion the run-off, 2nd fertigation of the day. Isn't it a little too acidic to leave this issue untreated? Day 79 (01/12) after a reply from @knut at cocoforcannabis.com I am advised not to take in consideration runoff pH but to take care of pH in and EC "in", as for the runoff, just checking EC, because pH varies for the interaction between nutrients and is of zero interest, so I was told. The extractor is working fine and it is a lot more silent than the older one. Last for today, I'd say I'm happy she seems to have completed the stretching phase, although there are a few shoots at scarce centimeters from the ceiling of the box as a consequence. The other shoots are fine, at a reasonably good position from the lights. It was very hard times with these last weeks and the damned stretching. If I had to evaluate the growing difficulty of this strain, I'd say "quite hard" because she's pretty much unmanageable at the stretching phase, unless proper caution measures be taken before it's too late. Day 80 (2/12/2019) To end week 12 (4th week flowering) I see it seems that stretching phase is over so I can breath again. She still may be growing one or two centimeters, that I dunno for sure, but judging from the accelerated rate of stretching I have seen since the last two weeks, it appears that she won't get taller. She's almost tocuhed the ceiling :/ I see a slight swelling of the baby buds, like the calixes that are starting to form.
