Week 5 Veg Report: SCROG Netting, Massive Leafs & Precise Data Mastery! 🌱 Girls Growing Stronger Than Ever! 🌱 This week has been truly epic in the grow room—so much so that it’s time to bring in the SCROG net! With the canopy expanding and the younger ones still working to catch up, the SCROG net will help me achieve that perfect, even canopy. A well-placed SCROG not only ensures better light penetration but also gives the smaller plants a chance to spread out and thrive alongside their bigger sisters. Now, let’s dive deep into the SCROG method. The Screen of Green (SCROG) technique is a grower’s secret weapon for maximizing space, light efficiency, and yields. The concept is simple but powerful—train the plants to grow horizontally along the net, forcing them to expose multiple budding sites instead of just a single cola. This way, the canopy spreads evenly, improving light distribution and air circulation throughout the tent. As the plants grow, I’ll gently weave their branches through the screen, ensuring they fill every square inch of space. The end goal? A sea of buds all basking in equal light! 💪 Huge Leafs Everywhere! 🌿 One thing that’s really catching my eye this week is the size of the leaves—they’re HUGE! Honestly, they’re so big I couldn’t resist a little fun, so I made myself some fashion accessories: leaf earrings and a cap from the Super Sativa Seed Club Green Papaya! 😂 And, of course, I captured the moment. But seriously, large leaves at this stage are a great sign of healthy, robust plants. These “solar panels” are hard at work soaking up all the light, driving photosynthesis, and fueling growth. So, what does it mean when your plants are showing off big, luscious leaves? It’s a clear indication that they’re happy, healthy, and thriving in their environment—big leaves mean lots of energy being produced and stored for future bud growth. Exactly what we want! 💧 Precision Feeding with Aptus Nutrients 💧 This week, I took a deep dive into my Aptus nutrient lineup and shared a video explaining how each product affects the water’s pH and TDS. Using the AMP-3 Precision Meter, I’m getting real-time water readings and keeping everything dialed in perfectly. Let’s break it down: • pH: 5.83 • TDS in solution: 445 ppm • Water temperature: 25.2°C The Aptus products are incredible for balancing nutrients without throwing off the pH or TDS too much. I’m fine-tuning my feedings based on these readings to make sure the girls are getting exactly what they need. The precision I’m able to achieve with the AMP-3 is mind-blowing—I get immediate feedback on pH, temperature, and EC, allowing me to make real-time adjustments and ensure the perfect environment for nutrient uptake. 📊 Environmental Mastery Thanks to TrolMaster 📊 Speaking of control—let’s talk about the TrolMaster system! Between the DSH-2U Humidity Station and all the other sensors, I’ve created the perfect environment for my plants. Here’s where we’re at this week: • Temperature: 26.2°C • RH: 70.6% • CO2 levels: 775 ppm • VPD: 1.0 kPa • PPFD: 423 Thanks to TrolMaster, I can monitor and adjust these metrics in real time, and the best part? I can do it all through the TM+ Pro app, even while I’m lounging in my green papaya leaf hat! 😆 Whether I’m checking the CO2 levels, adjusting the lights, or fine-tuning the humidity, it’s all in my hands with just a tap of my phone. Talk about convenience! 🌱 P.S. – Inline Sensors: Heavy-Duty Precision 🌱 Now, let’s talk about the heavy-duty players in this game—the (PCT-2) Heavy Duty Inline EC/Temp Sensor and the (PPH-2) Heavy Duty Inline pH Sensor. These bad boys are connected directly to the AMP-3 Precision Meter, and they’ve been absolutely crucial in giving me the most accurate readings on my water and nutrient solution. The PCT-2 keeps me informed about the electrical conductivity and temperature of my solution, which is key for monitoring how well my plants are absorbing nutrients. Too high or too low, and we’re asking for trouble, but this sensor ensures I’m always in that perfect range. The PPH-2, on the other hand, is all about maintaining the perfect pH balance. A fluctuating pH can mean nutrient lockout or deficiencies, but thanks to this sensor, I get a constant read on my pH levels, so the plants are always in their sweet spot for optimal nutrient absorption. Together, these inline sensors allow me to run a super-tight ship—every drop of water and nutrient is dialed in to perfection, keeping the plants happy and healthy! Shout Outs! As always, huge thanks to TrolMaster and ThinkGrow LED for the amazing gear, to Aptus Holland for their top-notch nutrients and Pro-Mix for the best soil i have used so far.

Woche 2 - Weiteres Wachstum und Vorbereitung auf das finale Umtopfen In der zweiten Woche wurde die Wassermenge schrittweise erhöht, um dem wachsenden Bedarf der Pflanzen gerecht zu werden. Ich habe die Bewässerung auf 300 ml alle zwei Tage erhöht, weiterhin ohne Düngerzugabe. Die beiden Sherbzooka Ladies ernährten sich noch vollständig von den in der Biobizz Light Mix Erde vorhandenen Nährstoffen. Am 20.04.2024 wurde die erste Düngerladung Canna Terra verabreicht, mit einem Verhältnis von 10 ml auf 10 Liter Wasser. Der pH-Wert des Wassers lag bei 5,9 und der EC-Wert betrug 1,0. Die Pflanzen zeigten keinerlei Symptome von Mangel oder Überschuss. Am 21.04.2024 wurden die Pflanzen abends in ihre finalen 9-Liter-Töpfe umgetopft. Die Pflanzen waren sichtbar gesund, kräftig und zeigten ein starkes Wachstum. Die durchschnittliche Temperatur blieb sehr stabil, und die Luftfeuchtigkeit wurde weiterhin manuell erhöht. Dazu habe ich täglich 500 ml Wasser in tiefen Tellern, verteilt auf vier Teller und fünf Handtücher, verwendet, um die Feuchtigkeit zu regulieren. Die Beleuchtung war fest eingestellt: Das Licht ging um 06:40 Uhr an und schaltete sich um 00:40 Uhr aus, was den Pflanzen einen stabilen Tag-Nacht-Rhythmus gewährte. Insgesamt verlief die zweite Woche sehr erfolgreich, und die Pflanzen waren bereit, noch weiter zu gedeihen. ENGLISH Week 2 - Continued Growth and Preparation for Final Transplant During the second week, I gradually increased the amount of water to match the plants' growing needs. I raised the watering amount to 300 ml every two days, still without any added nutrients. The two Sherbzooka ladies continued to thrive on the nutrients provided by the Biobizz Light Mix soil. On April 20th, 2024, the first dose of Canna Terra nutrients was given, with a ratio of 10 ml per 10 liters of water. The pH of the water was 5.9, and the EC level was 1.0. The plants showed no signs of nutrient deficiency or excess. On the evening of April 21st, 2024, both plants were transplanted into their final 9-liter pots. The plants remained visibly healthy, strong, and showed significant growth. The temperature stayed very stable, and I maintained the humidity manually by placing 500 ml of water daily across four plates and five towels, which helped regulate moisture levels in the room. Lighting was kept consistent, with lights turning on at 6:40 AM and off at 12:40 AM, providing a steady day-night cycle. Overall, the second week was a great success, with the plants ready to continue thriving.

Swell

Hi guys , Miss Blue keeps on flowering , she looks very nice, buds are not super dense but neither fluffy for sure, they're stretched out pretty good Don't know if she will stay alive for another week I'm cutting off a tester bud today.

04/20/25: This week brought a bit of a lull in growth, and I’ll admit it’s been a little disappointing. While the plants still appear healthy overall, vertical and canopy expansion has slowed, and I’m still not seeing any clear progress in preflower development. I was hoping for more definitive signs of sex by now, but unfortunately, the plants are holding onto their mystery a bit longer. That said, it’s not all stagnant. There has been noticeable thickening in the stems and branches, which tells me the plants are shifting some energy into building structural support. That kind of development is a good sign—it’s almost as if they’re preparing to bear some weight, even if the upper growth hasn’t taken off just yet. If you’re looking at the photos and thinking they look a bit droopy—don’t worry. The plants were intentionally allowed to dry out. I like to let them go a little longer between waterings at this stage to encourage root expansion, forcing the roots to explore the full volume of the pot in search of moisture. That strategy continues to pay off in strong root development and better resilience going into flower. I also finally got around to the defoliation I had planned last week. The plants are looking a little bare at the moment, especially after just being watered, but that’s by design. Over the next few days, they’ll perk back up, and all of the exposed growth tips should bush out and push new growth as the plants respond to the open canopy and fresh airflow. We’re about a week out from transplanting into the final 6.9-gallon AutoPot XLs. My hope is that sexing becomes more obvious before then, so I can make informed decisions about which plants to move forward with. I’ll be watching closely and will update sooner if anything changes on that front.

Welcome to week 6. Day 36: Took off a few fan leaves today and gave water only. Day 37: Height 28cm Day 39: Fertigated with an extra strong mix, I'm going to up the nutes now until I find her maximal tolerance, she is starving. Day 40: Still starving. I'm keeping her constantly topped up with quite high strength nutes but it's not enough. I think 200ml may have been an overly generous estimation of her root space volume. Day 41: I knew this would be a challenge but it is proving more difficult than I expected. I hope the effort is worth it! At least so far I have learned more about autoflower flowering triggers with this grow. Day 42: in trying to get enough food in to her I have nute shocked. Need to somehow flush and hope for the best. I may have dealt her a fatal blow. Alright so to end up this week I have flushed the ever loving crap out of this lady. I've burned her with too much nutes, I didn't think it was possible but I went really over the top. So I have used a combination of a straw and 2l of PH corrected water and a lot of time and patience to repeatedly saturate and then upend and allow to drip out (with the aid of blowing bubbles in there with the straw). Eventually the run off stopped being dark brown. Then much later it became clear. I do not know if I can save this plant now I have really hurt her she looks in BAAAAD shape. Let us see what happens over the next week. I have adjusted the timer such that the main tent is now getting 20/4 upped from 18/6. After monitoring DLI at 18/6 for a week I am unhappy with the overall level but because of the varying heights of the plants I am limited in what I can do in adjusting the light height. Some areas were only getting 20 DLI. So I have rearranged to have the taller plants on the edges and the lowest in the middle and doing it this way all plants are getting between 35 and 50 DLI at 20/4 - although one or two cola tips here and there are getting 55. Will monitor for a week.

Drying currently at 19 degrees C , 62 %

This week she just recovered from a snap I had while training her smh was going so smooth. This the 1st time I ever snap the main steam but now she seems like she is bouncing back. 2nd week flower feeding schedule and temps been great day and night will have to get a heater soon the temps have been real low where I live so sometimes temps drop lower then I would like to. This my 1st time putting a auto-flower under 12/12 conditions normally do 18/6.

Extremer Regen und kalte Tage. Die Schnecken haben ihren Anteil gefordert.

The Dwarf has definitely strong genetics. I recommend it for newbies that don’t have a lot of money to spend on growing kits. Yet, I wish I could have grown her under better lights (75W is CLEARLY not enough). I’m sure that the yield would have been a lot bigger with great lights. But it was a great grow : this dwarf convinced me to continue ! I’ve chosen seeds with bigger yield potential for the upcoming months (Blackberry and Gorilla Glue from Fast Buds). Good luck and thanks a lot to this community. Keep growing (and destroy capitalism) 🍁000

First week of flower not much to do, defoliate few leaves and leave the plant to do its thing. As far as training most of it is already done now so just letting plant stretch up and get some decent height.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MASTERS AND BEGINNERS FARMERS! MY WORK WITH THIS SUMMER LEMON IS FINISHED. PLANT EASY TO GROW AND ENOUGH RESISTANT MAINLY IN SATIVA. HAPPY AND ABUNDANT HARVESTS FOR EVERYONE

Second tallest plant in the room, shes been drinking every other day, lollipoped the base a bit this week and she is looking great! She's got roots sticking up over the the medium, so same comment about my big bud strain, I will be sure to have a tote with extra soil in it.

No fertilizer this week and probably next week, only tap water. Removed some of the leaves blocking flowers. The bruised banana stretches really strong and is really thirsty, the other 3 are still pretty compact

Start of week 7! Week 6 went really well. The Blue Dream has show the most signs of nute deficiency, but it hasn't gotten any worse. She's also very sticky, with dense buds that are starting to fatten up. This lady is on an 8 week schedule, removed big bud and added overdrive to the nute lineup.

Couple belters coming right out the traps large bulky stocks fingers crossed this growth keeps

Well... I had been growing these in a local biosolids medium. Should of researched that earlier 😭 While there are folks who grow in it, it’s not my jam. To many questions unanswered. So... I did an emergency, bare root transplant to an organic soil! I definitely ripped some of the more fragile lateral roots in the process, so I decided to go ahead and top and do a major pruning to cut down the amount of foliage they have to feed. I figure they’ll either make it or they will not. Time will tell...
