## Week 4 Update: Thriving Growth and New Techniques! ### 🌱 Vigorous Growth with Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze, Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush, and Blueberry Muffin 🌱 Welcome back to another exciting update on my grow journey with Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze, Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush, and Blueberry Muffin. The plants are thriving under optimal conditions, and I’ve started experimenting with new techniques to maximize their potential. --- ### Diary Snippet: Advanced Techniques and Optimal Conditions In Week 4, the plants are growing like weeds thanks to maintaining high PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) and optimal temperatures in the grow tent. These conditions are essential for maximizing photosynthesis and ensuring vigorous growth. --- ### Techniques Applied: LST and Defoliation #### Low-Stress Training (LST) This week, I applied Low-Stress Training (LST) for the first time. By gently bending and tying down the branches, I've created a more even canopy. This technique helps to: - **Increase Light Exposure:** Ensures all parts of the plant receive sufficient light. - **Improve Air Circulation:** Reduces the risk of mold and pests by allowing better airflow between the branches. - **Boost Yield:** Promotes the development of multiple colas, potentially increasing the overall yield. #### Defoliation In addition to LST, I also began defoliation, selectively removing some fan leaves to: - **Enhance Light Penetration:** Allows more light to reach the lower parts of the plant. - **Stimulate Growth:** Encourages the plant to focus its energy on bud development rather than foliage. --- ### Nutrient Management: Increasing Plagron Dosage As the plants grow, their nutritional needs increase. I've started to gradually increase the dosage of Plagron nutrients, following a careful schedule to prevent nutrient burn. Key benefits of Plagron nutrients include: - **Balanced Nutrient Profile:** Provides essential macro and micronutrients for robust plant growth. - **Improved Soil Structure:** Enhances the soil's ability to retain water and nutrients. - **Enhanced Flavor and Aroma:** Contributes to the development of rich, flavorful buds. --- ### Technology in Action: TM+ Pro App and TrollMaster To maintain and monitor the optimal growing conditions, I'm utilizing the TM+ Pro App and TrollMaster system: #### TM+ Pro App The TM+ Pro App has been invaluable for tracking and adjusting the environmental conditions in real-time. Key features include: - **Remote Monitoring:** Allows me to keep an eye on temperature, humidity, and light levels from anywhere. - **Data Logging:** Records environmental data for analysis, helping to fine-tune the growing conditions. - **Alerts:** Sends notifications if conditions deviate from the optimal range, enabling quick corrective actions. #### TrollMaster The TrollMaster system is integrated with the grow tent to automate and control various aspects of the environment: - **Climate Control:** Manages temperature and humidity levels to ensure a stable environment. - **Lighting Automation:** Adjusts the light intensity and schedule to mimic natural sunlight patterns. - **Nutrient Delivery:** Automates the feeding schedule, ensuring the plants receive nutrients at the right time and in the right amounts. --- ### Spotlight on Blueberry Muffin 🌿 🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦 **Cannabis Strain Benefits** 🧐 🤓 Blueberry Muffin has been a delightful addition to the grow tent. This strain is known for its sweet, berry-like aroma and potent relaxing effects. It's been growing robustly alongside the other strains and is responding well to the advanced techniques applied. - **Parentals:** Blueberry x Purple Panty Dropper - **Type:** Indica-dominant Hybrid - **Flowering Time:** 8-9 Weeks - **Flavor / Taste / Smell:** Berry, Sweet, Earthy - **Effect:** Relaxing, Euphoric, Happy - **THC Content:** 18-22% - **Characteristics:** Dense Buds, High Resin Production The Blueberry Muffin plants are showing strong growth and developing beautiful, dense buds with a rich aroma. They are a bit more sensitive to defoliation, so I've been careful to remove only the necessary leaves to ensure optimal growth without stressing the plants too much. --- ### Looking Ahead With the application of LST, defoliation, and precise nutrient management, the plants are set for an impressive growth phase. The TM+ Pro App and TrollMaster system will continue to play a crucial role in maintaining optimal conditions. Stay tuned for next week's update as the plants progress and more advanced techniques are applied! Happy growing! 🌿💚

I hung dried for three days and then bagged them up in brown paper bags for two days due to the low temps and humidity before jaring them.

As you can see, the Melonade Runtz hermied again... Mystery Made 2 also started but I already had the feeling this is going to happen, since everything inside this tent hermied. The first runs I threw in the trash (besides the one King's Juice survivor, you can see my diary on as well) but I now needed some weed and I had the little hope that MAYBE if I keep plugging the male parts off, that she eventually turns full female. I saw that in one of Hyperactive Highs videos and just gave full dedication into it, controlling every single day. I really spent hours into this but as you can also see, the Melonade Runtz was the frostiest out of the bunch, so I really didn't throw her away! On the bright sight: I managed to achieve quite an even canopy for now. They also shouldn't stretch too crazy from here on out

I'm expecting at least another week on the hubba bubba as it's getting nice and thick, and I haven't noticed any new pistols form in a few days. The ABxRKO is still trucking, and it makes me excited for the next drop that tree1four did. It smells heavy on the burger side, but not super meaty. It has a slightly sweet gassy meaty smell to it.

This week started of good except for ph and iron. I'm phing feed and water to 6 but my naturally 7.6 ph water is raising ph. I've realized my water and organic soil don't have iron in them. It's keeping these from greening up properly. I do have blood meal in the soil but not enough. I'll be adding an iron supplement next week when it arrives. Until then I'm going to feed a little masses and blood meal with the ph water. I've had a difficult learning curve switching from coco and salts to organic and soil. #2 got topped on day 1. I'm going to clone this top so I'll have this plant for the future.

Going to run 6 different fast buds strains this time.Dropped the seeds in the water and now a wait for the tap roots.One of the seeds is from Papaya cookies last run I found a single perfect seed and hopefully she grows as strong like the plant she come from :). Germinated all seeds in RO water at room temps for 24 hours and gave a little tap with a spoon and they fell to the bottom.I left them in the dark in water for 48 hours total and placed them in a warm wet paper towel in a sealed container for 24 hours.The seeds all developed nice tap roots 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch long and I planted in 5 gal pots.Using a 3 inch layer of fox farm ocean forest on the bottom and the top layer is Pro Mix.

Average grow maintenance effort, slow growth, small canopy but not really any issues. I will update all the weights, taste and all that crap soon.

Graduated, and am off from work for a few weeks, so went overboard on photos. Plant is doing well, leaves are starting to turn yellow (strain trait). Can't wait for the harvest and being able legally gift my xmas ornaments to my cousins during our "cousins walk" at our family xmas party.

increasing nutrient doses, monitoring EC and pH doesn't bear fruit, I think. Training also takes its toll and the girls flourish. We will continue to feed and observe... Second half of week brings quite intensive growth. Continue with LST, because need light penetration and some leaves out with same purpose. What does next days bring? I am exciting...

In general, similar to the autoflowers, we collected at most a quarter of the total volume. We'll take it back and do the trimming on site. Of course, you're interested in the numbers. In total, there were 14 trips to the plot. Mostly, we focused on weeding and foliar treatment. We harvested approximately 15 plants (10 autoflowers and 5 early bloomers). Altogether, we filled 4 containers each holding 6 liters. Each container fits 350-400 grams, which means there's about 1.5 kg in all the containers, plus a 2.5 kg bag of good trim. Approximate yield per plant (inflorescences with a small amount of leaves!): Early bloomers: around 150-200 grams per plant (we didn't collect the fattest buds because, unfortunately, they got moldy, so the numbers are approximate). Autoflowers: around 70-90 grams per plant.

Day 30. In few days i will try to do something with her, but i still dont know what ;)))) leaves are huge, they shade everything, she is lowest, so sides are very weak and underdeveloped compared to other two girls in this run , hope side branches will stretch this week some ... Mars TS1000 - Light is solid and does job. For last week output is on max . Still rotate a lot, but am happy with development. I miss more good wind inside, but i live in shared house ;)))))))))))) even really silent air system is still loud on desired speeds ... Hope next week ill send her to flower. Will top up with Worm Castings and Mycorrhizae during training in few days, when girls will be watered next time. Rhythm is good, every 3 days pots are light. 1.5 liters to each went straight in after photo shoot. Day 33. Applied BioBizz Leaf Coat when lights went off. Loads of training was made today too. Day 34. Now girls are trained daily. Top shoot twisting, leaf tucking, rotation around axis , changing positions inside of tent and so on. Always wash hands before any training, it is a must. Still havent made mind, scrog or lst ... Think tomorrow will be watering day and i have to decide which way to go , i am fliping them at next watering 100%, otherwise again rush to harvest before late spring holidays ... Happy Growing !!!
