Week 9 their wasn’t any real changes. Everything is on par with week 8. Girl #1 looks like she’s starting to gain some more weight. I’m satisfied with her progression so far. Girl #2 still hasn’t shown any flowering. I will keep It short this week. Nothing really to report. I’m excited for the next coming weeks. Thank you for viewing my diary.

These 2 ladies go their separated ways, 1 stays lower but branching good and slightly paler green, the other dark green leaf and more height to it. But the branches go slower. Rather impressed by the 2 hindus, who got like 4 to 5 days less than the sweet chees xl, and they are overtaking in growth now. Thats it for this week Grow tall!🍀🍀🍀

I saw some white dots and I was worried there was some kind of infestation. The grow area wasn't really isolated from the rest of the house so I think it was just dirt but I wanted to be safe so I sprayed then with insecticidal soap and rinsed them off in the tub.

Welcome to Week 17 of our epic Lego Ninja Tropical Tangie Run! This week, the garden symphony hits a crescendo as we approach harvest day. The trichomes, those tiny crystal sentinels, stand guard over buds that have matured into a sight to behold. Reflecting on this journey, from seed to the imminent harvest, is like revisiting chapters of a captivating story. Our Tangie, a botanical warrior, weathered every stage with grace. From the early days of nurturing to the defiant stretch of vegetation, she embraced the scorching sun and danced under the grow lights. The art of defoliation sculpted her canopy, and the scrog net became a stage for her floral performance. As she enters the final act, the trichomes, like miniature crystal cities from heaven, sparkle with the promise of potent delights. The ninja buddies and I share a moment of anticipation, knowing that soon, the harvest symphony will commence. In the midst of this, I offer you a teaser timelapse, a sneak peek into the visual poetry that will unfold in the full 8 minutes version (if grow diaries gives e that honour as at the moment cant upload anything over 100 megas with is kind a small file for videos)—capturing the essence of a Lego Ninja Tangie's journey from a tiny seed to a bountiful harvest. Join me in this reflection, a pause to appreciate the magic in each leaf, bud, and trichome. This journey has been a testament to the harmony between nature, science, and a touch of Lego Ninja magic. As I prepare for the final curtain call, I extend my deepest gratitude to @DutchPassion_Official for their stellar genetics, Aptus Holland for being the backbone of my nutrient regimen, and Grow Diaries for providing the canvas to paint this green masterpiece. Stay tuned for the grand finale, where we'll witness the Timber Symphony as each branch meets its destiny. Until then, keep the ninja spirit alive, and may your gardens be evergreen! 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 blessed with you all in my life<3 <3 <3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience With true love comes happiness <3 <3 <3 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 <3 <3 <3 Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only <3 <3 <3 Growers Love To you All <3 <3 <3 P.S- I must extend my sincerest apologies for the missing video reports. Regrettably, Grow Diaries is still facing some technical issues that are preventing me from uploading them. Rest assured, as soon as the situation is resolved, I'll share those videos to give you an even closer look at this fascinating journey. or in my case apparently GD dont let me do uploads over 100mb with is super small file if you working and editing videos .

Tag 8 : Das umtopfen in 1l Töpfe hat den Pflanzen gut getan sie entwickeln sich weiterhin gut, auf Lichtintensität 50% umgestellt Tag 9 : Lichtintensität auf 60% gestellt langsam erhöhen und beobachten, es bilden sich kleine Kugel Trichome auf den Blättern die sehr gut duften wenn man sie leicht reibt. Gegen 16:00 Uhr das Wasser mit Biobizz CalMag 0.3ml/l versetzt und mit BioBizz Bio Down auf einen PH Wert von 6,4 gebracht, anschließend alle Töpfe befeuchtet und mit kurzer Wartezeit 150ml Wasser pro Topf gegeben was 15% Topfvolumen der 1l Töpfe entspricht, es entsteht kein Drain. Tag 10: Den Pflanzen gefallen die größeren Töpfe und anscheinend auch das PH angepasste Wasser sowie das zusätzliche BioBizz CalMag es wird stetig Blattmasse zugelegt. Tag 11: Die Entwicklung schreitet gut voran, heute um 09:45 Uhr habe ich die Lichtintensität auf 70% erhöht und beobachte wie die Pflanzen reagieren, ich denke morgen wird wieder gegossen, das Gewicht der Töpfe kontrolliere ich mit einer Waage. Tag 12: Heute morgen um 7:30 Uhr jeden Topf gewogen, anschließend befeuchtet und nach einigen Minuten warten Wasser mit einem PH Wert von 6,5 und 0,3ml BioBizz CalMag gegossen. Die Erhöhung der Lichtintensität von 70 % vertragen sie ganz gut aber ich kriege meinen VPD Wert nicht niedriger durch die hohen Temperaturen und geringe Luftfeuchtigkeit die durchs Fenster kommen evtl. muss ich nochmal einen Luftbefeuchter dazu stellen. Tag 13: Alles sieht gut aus, mit dem Luftbefeuchter kann ich den VPD besser regulieren, morgen wird umgetopft und gegossen, beim wiegen der Töpfe waren die Wurzeln schon unten am Topf zu sehen, heute gibt es nichts weiter zu tun. Tag 14: Die Töpfe sind sehr gut durchwurzelt ich denke der Shrooms Wurzelstimulator hat auch dazu beigetragen, eigentlich wollte ich heute in 5,7L Töpfe umtopfen schaffe dies leider nicht aus Zeitmangel. Deswegen ist der Plan die Pflanzen bis morgen weiter durchtrocknen zu lassen und sie ein bisschen mehr zu stressen. Morgen werden dann alle in 5,7L Töpfe gesetzt und ordentlich angegossen. Das ist das Ende der zweiten Woche. Mein Fazit: Es lief bisher alles gut eine Pflanze zeigt an den unteren Blättern einen Nährstoffmangel vielleicht kommt das weil ich sie am Anfang evtl. überwässert habe, trotz der schlechten Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeitsverhältnissen die ich durch den Luftbefeuchter seit einigen Tagen besser im Griff habe, haben sich meiner Einschätzung nach alle Pflanzen ganz gut entwickelt. Falls jemand diesen Bericht lesen sollte bin ich gerne froh Tipps und Hinweise zu hören da dies mein erster Grow ist. Morgen nach dem umtopfen gibt es wieder ein Update ;)

Nun war es aber wirklich Zeit für den Umzug in den Endtopf. Ich denke mit der neuen Erde werden die kleinen auch schon bald wieder frisch aussehen. Noch stehen sie auf der Vegiseite, werden dann aber auch bald auf die Blüteseite umziehen. Da dort aber noch die autos unter 18h stehen, dürfen sie dort erstmal noch ein bisschen was an Höhe zulegen, bevor es in die Blüte geht.

~ FastBuds PAPAYA SHERBET Photoperiod~ Well here we go on another journey together through 'Canna-land' and this one's kinda special... forget that, it's VERY special because this is FastBuds newest surprise for the community, a FEMINIZED PHOTOPERIOD STRAIN!🤯 I was fortunate enough to score these seeds, of which only 1000 were available and can't wait to see what this strain can do! This Papaya Sherbet, according to FastBuds, is a hybrid with a 9-10 weeks flowering period. For a more detailed and accurate description of this strain the following from FastBuds says it best: "Combining the massive stature of Papaya (Oni Selection) with the strength and resilience of one of our best keeper cuts (Sunset Sherbet), this strain develops into a big, expansive bush adorned with numerous bud sites that later transform into a generous harvest of medium-sized buds. Papaya Sherbet flowers deliver a signature flavor of premium cannabis with subtle citrus undertones that emerge upon inhaling. During growth, her aroma makes for a sweet yet pleasantly bitter fragrance, giving you an idea of what the smoke will taste like. Notably stress-resistant, Papaya Sherbet is a great choice for growers working in challenging environments. She is very forgiving and rebounds quickly from any adversity, allowing growers the freedom to experiment with confidence that she will take everything like a champion she is. This strain embodies resilience, flavor, and abundant yields in every grow cycle." Sounds like an epic strain and I personally cannot wait for this lady to strut her stuff!😍 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod indoors as our weather is still a bit too chilly to put a newly sprouted seedling outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 40's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures are in the mid 50's℉, which shouldn't be long. After which, she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes from BioTabs and slow release dry amendments from Gaia Green. Once she's established herself outside she'll be given periodic top dressings of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 along with worm castings and Compost Tea's. Her grow area is approx. 5'x5' and I have posts and a trellis net set up already for when she gets bigger to aid in training her. Let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 9/20- Here we gooo... Week 6 of flower and the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiods flowers are exploding now! 9/22- My daily routine of watering, removing dead foliage and checking over the Papaya Sherbet continues. She is unfortunately starting to show signs of Septoria which is a bummer, but at least it's showing up late in flower so it hopefully won't affect the outcome too much. 9/24- Our weather has now cooled off dramatically, with daytime highs in the mid 60's℉, and nighttime temperatures dipping into the low 50's℉. As a result I have cut back on the amount of water the Papaya Sherbet photo is receiving daily. 9/26- There's another exciting week of flowering on the books for the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photo and from the looks of her, she only has a couple of weeks to go! I'm so excited!🤩 Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

In der sechsten Blütewoche haben sich die Blüten weiter verdichtet und an Größe zugenommen. Die Pflanze profitiert sichtbar von der erhöhten Lichtintensität und den zusätzlichen Netzen, die für Stabilität sorgen. Das Scrogging hat sich als äußerst effektiv erwiesen, da alle Blüten gleichmäßig Lichlt erhalten und sich prächtig entwickeln. Die Pflanze wirkt insgesamt sehr vital, und die Blütenstände zeigen eine schöne Harzbildung, was auf eine erfolgreiche Ernte hoffen lässt.

August 18, Day 28. Had to flush on Friday due to nutrient lockout. There were purple stems which caught my attention to a possible nutrient deficiency. Coupled by the dark green older fan leaves and bright green of new growth, my Apera TDS meter confirmed nutrient lockout. Kaboom was flushed a total of 4 times Friday night, then foliar fed at 25% strength the next morning. She was given 1.1 liters of pHd water since the top inch was already dry despite flushing the night before. I am taking her thirst to mean she is recovering well. I plan on resuming the GH least aggressive feed schedule tomorrow and will begin feeding with every watering. Now that she's on the mend from the nutrient lockout I can tell she's thirstier than what she used to be, I'm taking that to mean she's hanging in there. Friends, growmies, cousins, comrades, colleagues and cultivars. Updates last week were minimal because this plant mama came down with COVID. Flushing a plant during COVID fever is no joke. Stay well and healthy everyone. August 19, Day 29. Fed at least aggressive strength today until 25% runoff. Included a new supplement to the nutrient line up, silica. Today is the first time I use it so I went easy and used the weakest dose. Plant has 5 main sites so far, yahoozie. To top a second time? No se todavia, deja lo pienso jajaja August 21, Day 31.Topped one more time, clipped the tallest point to give the others time to catch up. I know I will need to defoliate a tiny bit, soon, but I'm a bit scared to remove either too much or a mega vital leaf. I'll watch videos about it and aim for next week. I sprayed the top inch with pH'd water and will feed and water tomorrow morning. August 22, Day 32. Fed and watered, no recharge since I used it on Day 29. As I repositioned the kabob sticks, I noticed a couple of milestones - she is in the very beginning stages of forming pistils and she is beginning to smell. I plan on keeping her in veg for at least 2 more weeks, hopefully this isn't super ambitious for a plant named Kaboom lol 😂 August 24, Day 34. I checked on Kaboom and found that the top inch was totally dry so I fed and watered her. I used everything except recharge, but will use it at next feeding since I'm aiming for 10 days in between applications. I think Kaboom is looking fabulous

Eternity Grow Cup - Week 1 Flower Report Welcome to the first week of flower in the Eternity Grow Cup! This is a crucial stage in the cycle, and we’ve made some important moves to set the girls up for success. Let’s dive into all the details and talk about the key elements shaping this transition. 48 Hours Dark Period & Transition to Flower Before flipping to flower, we implemented a 48-hour dark period. In my experience, this technique helps the plants transition more smoothly and accelerates their hormonal shift into flowering. It’s a method that has consistently worked well for me, and I encourage growers to explore different approaches to find what best suits their setup. The Power of Reds - Far Red & Deep Red As part of this transition, we have introduced far red and deep red lighting. These are turned on 15 minutes before the main whites and stay on for 15 minutes after. The reason? This simulates the natural sunrise and sunset effect, which helps optimize the flowering response and enhances overall plant development. The red spectrum plays a crucial role in promoting stretch and enhancing bud formation early on. Light Schedule - 11/13 Cycle From the start of flower, we are running an 11 hours light / 13 hours dark schedule. Over the years, I’ve found this lighting strategy beneficial in inducing faster flower onset, increasing terpene production, and ultimately producing better-quality fruits. This is something I personally swear by, but as always, I encourage others to experiment and see what works best for their unique environments. Spending Time with the Girls One of my favorite parts of the grow is spending time with the plants, enjoying some good medicine, and simply being present in the garden. The connection we have with our plants is invaluable, and I believe they truly respond to the energy we bring. It’s a labor of love, and every moment spent with them contributes to their health and vitality. Monitoring with TrolMaster TM + App All data is being closely monitored using the TrolMaster TM + app, and I highly encourage everyone to check it out. Seeing all the details, tracking trends, and adjusting conditions accordingly is a game-changer. If you love data as much as I do, this is definitely something worth exploring. Gear Spotlight - AeroFan Extraction Let’s talk about one of the essential pieces of gear in this setup: the AeroFan Extraction System. This exhaust fan is an absolute beast, keeping the environment perfectly dialed in while looking sleek mounted on the wall. A good extraction system is key to maintaining ideal airflow, temperature, and humidity control, and this one has been doing an incredible job. Current Environmental & Nutrient Data Water pH: 6.0 Water EC: 1.36 Water Temperature: 16°C (a bit low, will be adjusting soon) Soil EC: 1.44 Soil Temperature: 20°C (decent but could be slightly higher) Maintaining the right balance of temperature, pH, and EC is essential for a successful flowering phase, so I’ll be keeping a close eye on these numbers and making any necessary adjustments as we progress. Shoutouts & Community Love A huge thank you to Plagron, Zamnesia, and Grow Diaries for making the Eternity Grow Cup possible! Massive appreciation to the entire community—supporters, competitors, lovers, and even the haters—you all keep this space thriving. Let’s also take a moment to wish everyone the best of luck in the competition. The level of dedication and skill across the board is truly inspiring.
