Hello Growmies, As we approach the zenith of week 11, the crescendo of our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids' lifecycle is upon us. In harmony with the symphonic change in colors, their leaves continue the fade, a beautiful degradation that nature orchestrates so well, offering a visual feast that marks the prelude to their grand finale. Each Watermelon Candy, from #1 to #3, has now fully embraced the transition, parading a spectrum of colors from golden yellows to deep purples, like the setting sun giving way to twilight's embrace. The buds, dense and resplendent with trichomes, now resemble crystalline sculptures, each one capturing the essence of our nurturing dedication. The aroma has deepened, each inhalation a tapestry of earth and sweetness, indicative of the rich, flavorful experience soon to be savored. It's a heady bouquet that promises much to the connoisseur and a testament to the TrolMaster's steadfast governance over their environment. Watermelon Candy #1, with its standout bud formation, is a sculpture in botanical form, a true marvel of genetic and environmental synergy. Its siblings, #2 and #3, are not a step behind, flaunting their heavy blossoms with a gravitas that speaks to the imminent harvest. With the harvest scheduled for next week, the excitement is palpable. Our routine remains unaltered; like the beat of a drum leading to the climax of a song, we maintain the rhythm that has served us well thus far. The anticipation of the cut is an excitement unto itself - the final act in our labor of love. Patience is our companion in these final days as we prepare for the harvest. The Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids stand at the ready, soon to transition from their vegetative state to a form that will bring joy and relief to many. Stay lifted, Salokin

This week the Purple Lemonade is entering the crucial late bloom stage. The buds are already showing great color expression and are starting to put on noticeable weight. Trichomes are developing steadily, giving the flowers a frosty appearance, while the fruity, citrus aroma is becoming more pronounced. At this point I’m discontinuing Big Bud and switching to Overdrive for the next two weeks. Big Bud has already done its job during mid-flower by promoting volume and setting the bud structure. Overdrive is more suitable now, as it pushes the plant to increase resin, terpene concentration, and final density, ensuring the Purple Lemonade reaches its full potential before the flush.

Commencing Week 12 - 4th week of flowering - Day 78 from germination - Day 28 of 12/12 on January 9th Garden is going great! Only minor hold up is my pH and PPM meter has gone haywire today so I have one arriving in the mail tomorrow. I used one of my flower bomb males and crossed the 818 number one and the Branch with a wire tie. Seeds coming soon :-) "You can have change without progress but not progress without change" I am trying a new nutrients called Mega crop. Currently I utilitize a very sterile and all chemical nutrients solution that contains no enzymes no amino acids and no beneficial bacteria and I have gotten great results, and I enjoy not having to do much work, literally no swap outs in this grow so far has saved my water bills and my back. However as I stated there is no progress with change and in line with wanting to get better I am trying a new nutrient called Mega crop which contains many of the things that I have thus far stayed away from. Starting off very lightly and will see what happens either way I am anxious and excited for the next 4 weeks 🤩🤩🤩

End of week 8. First days of week 9.

oh did I add I noticed she showing sex this morning as the sun rises so this morning Feb 18 6:22am I decided to up my nutrients  with the first bottle of nutrients I mixed was on a early veg level so I just add 2ml of each my fox farms advance nutrients along with some algas ( made with seaweed somewhere on the island ) which is a root stimulant and a few drops less than a teaspoon of molasses.  and gave my baby a deep feed hope I dont regret this hope I dont get nut burns .

Pretty heavy yield for only 2 plants they smell and look astounding. Harvested in 2 parts. To allow the lower buds to densen and mature.

Pas beaucoup d'odeur mais une fois coupée une belle odeur de sucre de bois et un peu de fruit se dégageait 🤤🤤🤤. Pour avoir fait pas mal d'erreur et réussir a en tirer 127 g humide pour une première et juste un lst sur la tige principale ( quasi un sog) . Je pense avoir fait quelque chose de plutôt pas mal. Maintenant le produit final ne sera pas a son rendement maximum, mais ça me va.

Despite the fact that this is an auto flowering plant, they are a very worthy example that show that even autos can be better than photoperiodic flowers. I am growing this strain for the third time, it always pleases me with the amount of taste and, most importantly, the way it is smoked, very good THC. Thank u @Sweetseeds 🦅

Shes getting close to finish I threw a bucket of pure water trough the soil to lower the runoff ppm to 400, now she can finish with only water and whats left in the soil, no more nutrients I think she will finish in 1 or 2 weeks max.

All going well…I had 11 in total but had to give some to a friend to finish off in a tent because I’m afraid they won’t make it before the bud rot sets in! I may take them back off him depending l!

Time to harvest!!

Ok, so I forgot to take any pics on week two and holiday time week 3 came up real fast. so we are going to skip over any of the week two details. just watered em and they grew. This week we did a nice little transplant into their final 2gal pots. Fortified with a bunch of amendments and Acti-Sol, everything is listed in the video. Any question just let me know. I don't age my medium at all and I think I should start doing this to avoid some other things, I just find it hard to do it in winter time indoors as soil can be stinky with amendments and I like it to stay in the tent under the carbon filter. Medium I used is 40% coir, 30% perlite, 20% compost, 10% vermiculite and 10% worm castings. Then the amendments are added into that at the rate of 30-60ml per 1Gal of medium. This batch has Gaia 4-4-4, Gaia Insect Frass, Giaia Diatomaceous Earth, Gaia Rock Dust, Acti-Sol Seaweed Meal, Acti-Sol Shrimp/Crab Meal, Acti-Sol 4-3-2, Acti-Sol 4-6-8 and Bokashi. Nice little mix, water it in with a bit of magnesium and microbes dissolved into the water. The bokashi should help break everything down and make a bit of a acidic environment for all the meals and rock dust to become available. Roots looked good, not a dense as some runs but still nice. I feel the soil might be a bit hot so will expect some burnage on them hopefully its nothing to crazy. Will ph down with a mix of citric, malic and ascorbic acids. They are in a rate of something like 50-60%/40-30%/5-10%, its written down in my of my notes just can't find the pad ATM. Also more videos vs anything this week. I like em more but processing them is annoying AF. Side note, my lights timer was on 12/12 not 16/8 so it explains why they went into bloom, switch it back and will top the plants next week one they start to reverse their ways and get comfortable in the new pots. Also got ride of the chive seed start as it was looking sad, plus I got a bunch of European chive varieties in the mail yesterday and want to try them out. see if they really have any different taste and what ones I like better. Till next week.

I guess when I topped the girls I left a little i piece of the cola on some of them so a few of the plants have extra colas growing from the main stem that was topped which is a good thing cause enjoy who doesn't like more colas! They start out looking like mutants but after a while they start looking more normal.

Sie macht die ersten Centimeter 🙏
