🌿🔍 Week 7: Trichome Wonderland and Final Push! 🌿🔍 Hey there! Here's your weekly update with all the exciting developments in my grow: 🌸 The Smell is Popping: Week 7 brings a delightful aroma to my grow space. The scents are becoming more pronounced and captivating. 🌬️👃 🌈 Colors Galore: The plants are showing off their vibrant colors as the flowers mature. You'll notice burpling on the leaves and the emergence of orange and red hairs on The Queen plant. LOVE IT ! 🌺🎨 💧 pH and TDS Levels: Throughout the entire flower stage, my pH has remained steady at 6.33. That's great! As for the TDS levels, they currently stand at 750ppm and 1150ppm, providing the necessary nutrients for your plants. ⚖️🌱 ⏳ Flowering Progress: The Queen is proving to be a quick finisher, with only 46 days of flowering under her belt. She's looking almost ready, and it's time to grab my handy DIY microscope to examine the trichomes closely. Keep an eye for the desired level of ripeness! 🔍🌿⌛ 🍪 Oreo Big Stuff: Although not as far along as The Queen, the Oreo Big Stuff will need an additional week of flowering before she reaches her peak. 🍪⚡ 🌿 Zweet Og: The Zweet Og requires a bit more patience. It looks like it will need at least two more weeks before it's ready for harvest. Keep monitoring her progress and let her mature fully. 🕒👀🌿 🧐 Drying Dilemma: Unfortunately, I currently am facing a problem with drying The Queen. She's positioned on the back left side of the grow tent with a scrog, making it challenging to remove her without disturbing the others. It's a tricky situation indeed! 😬🌿🏋️‍♂️ 🌱 Future Plans: Despite this dilemma, overall, I'm extremely happy with how things are going. No herms or other issues have arisen, which is fantastic news. I'm even planning to do another run with The Queen, as I already have six clones ready to be transitioned into flowering immediately after this run. Exciting times ahead, especially since it'll be my first time flowering clones! 🌼🌿🌿 That's all for this week's update. Happy growing, lads, and remember to stay high on positivity! If you need any assistance or have any questions, feel free to ask. 🌿💪🌿✨

Hmm, now the peat and coco are looking quite different. The coco plants have thicker stems, but they also look like they could still use a bit higher EC. On day 14 I watered the peat plants and did some defoliating, that's what you can see in the pictures. There's not a whole lot to see yet, but I really like this plant already. I'm having positive experience with coco. the peat plants got 1.7 EC water with 2.2-2.7 EC runoff (1100-1350 ppm), 6,5 ph The coco plants got 2.0 EC water with 1.4-1.7 EC runoff (700-850 ppm), 5.5 ph as per the recommendation by plagron

***** Week 4 Veg - December 26/20 to Jan 1/21 ***** The girls were transplanted on Christmas day, after three weeks in the solo cups from seed. They had been growing well in cups but I must admit that I feel the root mass should have been larger after that time period. I am working with a new nutrient line that I have not used before and have not been adding microbes to the feed schedule thus far.........or hardly any. I feel this is why the root system, while looking healthy, is looking too small. Over the next couple weeks will ensure they get lots of microbes in the 1 gal pots to fill those up with roots before moving to 5 gal pots.......the last upsize for this girls. Counting my weeks for finish I am wishing that I had started these girls a couple of weeks sooner so they may not get to veg in the 5 gal pots for a couple of weeks before flipping to flower. For these girls it is still pretty early on in their lives and not many exciting things to happen the first month of seedlings. We have done one upsize and another to go. Keep the feeding in line and follow the week 1 veg feeding for these girls, bringing up the ppm closer to 700ppm range. Overall, happy with first couple of weeks of veg. Need to get more roots going, we will, but otherwise just give them the time to mature and take it easy......they will come along😀 Little more detail....... Dec 26/20, Day 22 Veg - Dry out day after being transplanted yesterday. - Pots were still heavy. - Let the microbes in the media do their thing and start pushing root growth harder than what has been happening. Dec 27/20, Day 23 Veg - Gave the girls a little splash of the left over nutes from two days ago to add a little oxygen and they can take the extra microbes and bacteria right now😀 - 200ml with Microbial Mass and Piranha @ 2ml/L = 650ppm and 5.7pH - They are really happy today!!!! Loving the bigger pot to let those valuable roots expand into nice fluffy new coco and soak up the nutrients👍 Dec 28/20, Day 24 Veg - feeding day today with more water to get some runoff from the 1 gal pots. They have not been watered to runoff yet. - 0.5L each girl with the full line for this week. No other additives, just the IPP line = 700ppm and 5.7pH - seems a little high to jump from around 300ppm to 700 but will follow the companies recommendations👍 Dec 29/20, Day 25 Veg - Dry out day. - they are happy today......not much to add otherwise today Dec 30/20, Day 26 Veg - going to give them another day without watering. - I feel like I should be watering today but I am not as I am not sure how much moisture they will have consumed and the roots need some air to breath so holding off. - think it is a CalMag only feeding tomorrow. Dec 31/20, Day 27 Veg - feed day today since it has been a couple of days. - 500ml with CalMag @ 2ml, Gold Storm @ 7ml, Sea Storm @ 5ml, Blackstorm @ 2ml, Vitamin B @ 0.5ml = 525ppm and 5.7pH - keeping the humic and fluvic acids going in, plus Kelp and CalMag👍 - the girls are happy and seeing forward movement everyday, looking for more aggressive though from the girls. Jan 1/21, Day 28 Veg - doing very well......like really well💪 - didn’t push them today and left them alone for watering, pots of course still had some weight and I didn’t expect them to need today. - Optic Folier Overgrow given today. Folier spray to give them just an extra boost since everything is otherwise dialed in👍 Finishing off the week very strong!!!!!! They have been looking very healthy and perky everyday. The roots are a concern and will be taking it easy on the nutrients for another week yet and keep up the microbes and beneficials. Will get them in line......my hope is too keep their time in the 1 gals down to two weeks max......maybe 10 days?? Looking pretty good ETS as we move through the first upsize. Her stems are stiffening and they are taking varying temps and humidity in the first weeks well. Feeding has been moderate to light and no signs of any issues......again, still pretty early on but its all good so far😎

Start of Wk 8 of Flower 😎 I dropped nutes down continually over the past week by topping Blumat Rez with plain RO daily. Today, I changed out to Flawless Finish + RO @ pH 6.1. Trichomes about 70% cloudy and a few Amber here and there.

First off I just want to say for some reason it’s not letting me change the right temperatures on my diaries ! Each time when I put it in they stay at 50. My day air stays 75 degrees an , night degrees is 70 ! Today is day 58 for all these ladies! This week has been really great ! Girls really progressed a lot , especially for one the Forbiddin Runtz, looks like is gonna finish up in a week or 2 ! Other then that they are coming along well!

What a journey! We started out with a fungal infection or dampening off. Either way, she survived to bring some of the hardest buds ever grown. Very impressed. The resilience of thos one is something to note. Currently the plant is in control of the humidity. But it won't be for very long. Not once the exhaust fan kicks in to max power. The temp is stable at 61° f. Humidity is at 62%. Now 63 and climbing. 🤔. I adjusted it. And it won't stay still. It either plummets or spikes up. A tiny opening in the door dropped it super fast. While closing it up spiked it in the mid 60s. I'm trying to level it out at 55%. The temp is perfect. I should be able to do it. I can tweek it until it works properly. .so I just pulled the roots out of the bucket. I had a whole bunch of goopy shit all in the roots in buried in the pebbles. What the hell is that? I'm trying to find out right now. It was all black and nasty. It smelled like soil. Not strong or anything, but like I didn't use soil. Anyway, I did use carboflush and it turned the water a super dark brown. Maybe that's part of it. Or maybe that was the problem all along. Black root rot? Root rot at all? The roots seemed fine. Just the sludge all in their business. How should I have cleared that out if I saw it? Dump plain water through the hydroton? I think I'll do that for my next run. Once a week top off into the hydroton. Makes sense. It should keep the roots clean? 12/16/2025 Day 1 of drying Papaya Cookies and the environment looks great. It swings a bit, but doesn't go over 61% and I haven't seen it go under 45%. I know it's a big swing, but the temp is solid at 61° and it's in range. I expect it to be a bit more controlled in a few days after the plant dries out a bit. You know, when she has less control over the humidity. The goal is 61° and 53% humidity. I'm pretty sure I can keep it at 60%, but maybe I want 55%. I'm thinking 55% because it's the top of the ideal range and it still matches the temp. So it should I perfectly. So for the setup. I don't think I properly explained it yesterday. The 2x2 is connected to the 3x3 with a 4" duct. You can see in the picture that the hose is installed on the top of the 2x2 and to the upper 6" port on the right side of the tent. There's a reason I'm telling you this. The 4" charcoal filter is on the left side of the tent. If it were on the right side I'd have to attach the dry tent to the left side of the 3x3. The goal is to exhaust the dry tent with the whole 3x3 circulating air throughout, before exhausting the dry tent. Instead of the filter being right above the port, sucking in way too much from the dry tent and neglecting the rest of the 3x3. It makes sense in my head. So far it's seems to be working. The air in the tent has been exhausting just fine. With the 2 circular fans running at level 7 dynamic mode, it moves the leaves just enough and mimics the outside world quite well without any harsh gusts. I wonder. Seeing as though a cannabis plant needs to be pollinated, and it goes airborne, wouldn't having larger gusts of wind help a healthy cannabis plant to grow bigger buds as to catch the pollen? That makes sense to me. Don't overdo it, just a few little gusts just like September and October. At harvest season. I bet that will do something. Maybe I'll turn the speed up to 9 and see what happens. Wind burn on these leaves is the least of my problems. Plus, it'll be fine. Don't you worry. Maybe she'll produce more trichomes and bulk up a bit more. It makes total sense. Without wind burn, just under where it would start to happen, I bet she will finish up nicely and have added a bit more bulk too. 12/17/2025 Day 2: The humidity is bouncy. It stays in range from 46% to 61% I'd like to see it stabilize at 55%, but I don't think I'll see that until I have a bit more control over the space. It's funny. To bring the humidity up when it's low, I open the main tent and the air doesn't get pulled out of the dry tent making it more humid. I open the dry tent a little to drop the humidity. Either way, it's in range and the temp doesn't move at all. It warmed up here for the day and the temp went from 61 to 64 and holding steady. Nothing else to report. 12/18/2025 Day 3 of drying and we are looking great! A lot of her smell has changed to a sharp pungent scent. Meh. I know it's gonna be back to some insanely good smell very soon. After all it's only day 3. I woke up to the humidity hovering around 47% I was kinda hoping it would stay between 50% and 55%. No matter, I added a bowl of water to help keep the humidity up a bit. Hopefully it keeps it under control at 55%. Other than that, nothing else to report. 12/19/2025 So day 4 and I had to add a mini humidifier to the dry tent. It was dropping below 50% and I want it around 53%. The temp is 60° f. So now the humidity is at 54° and is leveled out. I'm guessing maybe 7 days? 10 to 12 days is what I'm going for. The longer the better, but I also have another plant that has to go in there and they won't fit together. The only reason I'm concerned with it is because I'm starting new seeds today or tomorrow. Probably today and I'll be needing the 3x3 in the next week or 2. This little lady will be done by then, but my other plant might have to dry in the 3x3 and that'll take 10 to 14 days. By then the seedlings will be ready for their buckets. Or well, no. They will be ready for their buckets in about 10 days. If not less. Maybe 8 days. I usually add them to the final container just before the roots really start coming in. That way I'm not shocking them too much when they hit the medium.

slow start for the gorilla glue family (gorilla glue auto and the strawberry glue), the wedding cake from Barneys farms started surprisingly flowering after 3 weeks! :D The wedding and all others needed a lot of defoliating but now the wedding has slowed the growth on the leaves and focussed on stretching for some nice strength to the dense buds its growing :D Every other day the strawberry and gorilla need defoliating to stop the bud sites being covered.

F week 3. It gets really bushy. I had to do a second defoliation. At this point everything seems to go well.

Week 6 Flower Report: Maturation in Full Swing! 🌟 Welcome to the week where the magic of maturation takes center stage! 🌟 The garden has reached a pivotal moment as the trichomes are bursting with potential. Each one a glittering universe, they are the undeniable stars of this show, taking over every surface with their frosty brilliance. ✨ Watching them evolve is like witnessing art being created in real time – it’s a reminder of the beauty and patience this craft demands. Trichomes: The Frosty Frontier This week, the focus is all about those frosty beauties! • Trichomes are the key indicators of ripeness and cannabinoid production. Watching their progression from clear to cloudy to amber provides the ultimate insight into maturity. • Currently, we’re seeing a fantastic mix of cloudy trichomes with some clear still hanging around – a perfect sign that they’re gearing up for their final push. • Fun fact: Trichomes serve as the plant’s natural defense mechanism, protecting it from UV rays and pests while being our treasure trove for cannabinoids and terpenes. Spectrum Tuning: The Science of Light Light plays a major role in shaping the maturation process, and this week, we’ve dialed in the spectrum for optimal results. Here’s the breakdown: • Whites: Running at 77% to maintain robust overall growth and trichome density. • Deep Reds, Far Reds, and UV: Maxed out at 100% to mimic the end-of-season spectrum, signaling the plants to finish strong. • Deep Reds: Enhance photosynthesis efficiency through the Emerson effect. • Far Reds: Promote stretch and flowering hormone production. • UV: Stimulates trichome production for an extra boost of frost! We’ve also added a timing twist: • Reds & UV start 15 minutes before whites to simulate sunrise. • Reds & UV finish 15 minutes after whites to mimic sunset, creating a more natural light transition. These subtle timing tricks help reduce stress while optimizing light absorption, ensuring every photon counts! 🌞 Environmental Conditions: Precision is Key Here are the dialed-in parameters for the week: • Temps: 26.3°C • RH: 70.1% • CO2: 800 ppm • VPD: 1.03 kPa With these numbers, the ladies are thriving in their sweet spot, absorbing nutrients efficiently while maximizing trichome development. Lighting Power: • Lower layer at 800 PPFD and the upper layer shining bright at 1500 PPFD. The canopy coverage is perfect for even development throughout the garden. Nutrition: Balanced and Boosted We’ve stuck with the tried-and-true nutrient mix this week but with some strategic adjustments: • Removed Breaking Powder to focus on trichome maturity. • Introduced K-Boost at 0.5 ml/L, giving the plants the potassium edge they need to pack on weight and enhance terpene production. • Feeding solution details: • pH: 6.2 • TDS: 755 ppm • Temp: 20.6°C In the Autopots, the medium stays perfectly hydrated at 100% with: • TDS: 580 ppm • Temp: 22.2°C Shoutouts and Gratitude A huge shoutout to the amazing genetics and these incredible ladies, and a big thanks to Trol Master, Aptus Holland and Pro Mix for the stellar products that are elevating this grow to new heights! 🌱💪 To all growers out there, remember: Patience is the secret ingredient. Watch, learn, and trust the process – the results will always amaze you. Here’s to another week of growth and gratitude. Onwards to Week 7 with hearts full of joy and gardens full of frost! 🌟💚 Growers Love, Your Grateful Gardener Discount Codes so you can save big on your next check out 💚💚💚 Kannabia - DOGDOCTOR 30% off SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off CannaKan- DOGDOCTOR 15% off terpyz.eu - DOCTOR 15% off The Neutralizer - PORKIT5-DOG 15% off Fast Buds - DOGDOCT 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 🙏

This week, Tart Pops got a serious upgrade — moved into a big 50L pot and loving the legroom! Roots were wrapping tight around the old pot, so it was time to stretch out and settle in. Gave her a solid flush to clear out any leftover salts before the big shift. She’s heading straight into flower mode in the tent after this — lights, camera, pistils! Expecting explosive growth in the next 7–10 days as she settles into the new digs and switches gears. Let the bloom begin! Next Up: Monitor transition stretch Light feeding after flush First signs of flower incoming…

22/08/2025 - Apenas tenho regado cerca de 1L de agua de 2 em 2 dias por vaso. 23/08/2025 - o vídeo do dia anterior pareceu que estava demasiado amarela, ao vivo não parecia tanto, decidi filmar hoje e subir a ver se não era alguma cena na câmera.
