Week 9 Flower Report: The Countdown to Harvest Begins! 🌼✨ As the ninth week of flower unfolds, the room is a symphony of colors and frosty brilliance—a true gardener’s dream! But as we approach the final stretch, it’s a delicate dance of vigilance and care to ensure a clean and bountiful harvest. Here’s a deep dive into this exciting and educational week: The “Flush” in Full Swing The flush continues as we prepare the ladies for their final days. While we’re a week or so away from harvest, the plants are responding beautifully, showcasing stunning fades that highlight their unique genetics. This fading process is a critical part of the journey, helping the plants naturally finish their cycle while preserving those complex terpene profiles we all love. The Mold Incident: A Teachable Moment This week brought a challenge—a few buds succumbed to bud rot (Botrytis), particularly on the Papaya Zoap and a single bud from the Gorilla Melon. While disheartening, it’s a reminder that mold can occur even in the most well-maintained gardens, especially with dense colas and a full canopy. After a thorough inspection, all affected buds were removed and discarded to prevent the spread. A quick note to all growers: defoliation plays a massive role in airflow and prevention of such issues. This is why mid-flower defoliation is a game-changer, and I’m grateful it kept the rest of the garden healthy! Papaya Zoap’s Unique Quirks The Papaya Zoap continues to be a star of the show with its frosty buds and… albino tips! These tiny white tips are likely from being too close to the lights. While it’s a cosmetic detail that doesn’t affect quality, it’s a fascinating display of how genetics and environment interact. A Frost-Filled Wonderland The room is absolutely glistening with frost. Trichomes are piling up like snow, giving the entire garden a magical wintery appearance. I genuinely believe the ThinkGrow LEDs and TrolMaster spectrum control deserve a shoutout here. Running deep red, far red, and UV at 100%, combined with whites at 50%, is delivering incredible results. The ability to fine-tune the spectrum is a game-changer for resin production and terpene enhancement. Environmental Mastery Here’s a peek into the environmental stats keeping the ladies thriving: • Room Temperature: 26°C • Relative Humidity (RH): 53.2% • VPD: 1.57 kPa • CO2: 1067 ppm • PPFD: 690 µmol/m²/s This balance creates the perfect conditions for fattening buds and maximizing quality in the final weeks. Nutrient & Soil Rundown On the nutrient side, the solution measures: • pH: 6.67 • TDS (Reservoir): 65 ppm • Solution Temp: 18.3°C Soil stats show a TDS of 695 ppm, indicating there’s still some nutrient reserve left in the medium—a perfect transition into the flush phase. It’s all about ensuring the plants have enough to finish strong without compromising flavor or smoothness. A Garden of Many Colors The fades across the room are a sight to behold. Each strain is showcasing its unique hues, with the Green Papaya leading the frost parade, and the Punch Pie taking the crown for bud size. Meanwhile, the Gorilla Melon is dazzling with red reflections, and the Papaya Zoap keeps turning heads with its white crystalline canopy. Videos with TM+ Pro This week, I’m also sharing videos straight from the TM+ Pro app. This tool has been a joy to use, offering precise control and insights into my grow environment. It’s simple for beginners and robust for advanced growers, proving once again that the TrolMaster ecosystem is a must-have in any grow room. P.S. Ecosystem Excellence I can’t emphasize enough how incredible the TrolMaster ecosystem is for growers of all levels. From intuitive configuration to seamless integration, it’s a system that simplifies growing while delivering professional results. Whether you’re just starting out or refining your craft, TrolMaster has your back.

The AK is huuuuuuge 🤩🙃 Wurlz so fast ⏩

Die Pflanzen entwickeln sich gut. Es wird die nächsten 10 Tage nachts sehr kalt, deshalb wurde heute eine heizmatte zur Sicherheit ins Zelt gehängt und auf 25 C gestellt. Die zwei Blumat pro Topf sind zu wenig, sie können den Wasserbedarf einer Pflanze nicht decken Halten den Boden aber trotzdem leicht feucht, wenn ich zwei Tage nicht gegossen habe.

Pheno 1 dark purple : On the nose, it reveals a sharp burst of fresh lemon, layered with a powerful eucalyptus aroma that’s both invigorating and camphorous. A truly refreshing and vibrant terpene profile😈🍋 Pheno 2 Green : this one is a real surprise! If I close my eyes, it’s like Nutella! It’s as if you’ve just walked into a kitchen where hazelnuts have been freshly roasted 🤤🌰 Pheno 3 light purple : It’s a mix of the first two with a hint of amarena cherry at the end🍒🍧

Week 5 Everything looks good and frosty .. I’ll add the futur vert uv LED’s in a few days

What to say in the end, even though things were not ideal, the outcome is better than expected. 🙏 My only regret is that it has not reached its full potential, although the buds are beautiful, dark purple, full of terpenes that stick to your fingers like honey when you touch them. 😋 The outcome is in the end 56 g. which is more than it looked before the harvest. 💪 She dried along with her two roommates Purple Punch for a total of 14 days. My wife, although not a consumer, enjoys trimming which suits me great because I can take photos during that time. After trimming, we put the dry tops in jars where they matured for another 20 days. Sometime in the future I would definitely repeat Watermelon, I know it can do even better. It’s great that it’s summer, it fits perfectly with the Watermelon joint on an afternoon summer evening with a book and the sea. I hope those who visited the diary got useful information, and to all who commented and liked, thank you for your support. See you soon with new diaries.

Interesting to notice the bright calyx of fresh flowers still yet to bloom from the bud, with such high levels of UV radiation any surface layer of the plant is given a purple tint/hue within 1-2 days, this allows me to spot fresh "buds" that have yet to flower as they appear a lighter shade of green. This new growth happens overnight as fresh white calyx burst from the overnight growth spurt, It felt almost like the plant was probing to see where to place its new bud, When I raised the lights to18 inches It felt like a weight was lifted. The plant is visibly eating/defoliating lower fan leaves en masse, freeing up every last source of energy for bud growth, interesting to note how much better a job the plant does of defoliating when I just let it do it itself, once certainly seems to be enough for my liking, it takes what it takes when it needs it if it needs a lot it takes it. Interesting to note in previous grows I could not get the plants to cannibalize, good to know every last ounce of flower power is being utilized, trying to find the balance between the amount of cola and what the plant can produce in total seems to be key, I would have liked to mainline a more but the clones had a tough long life and have grown from little cuttings no bigger than my thumb, whatever hormonal screwery monstercropping did, it made them highly sensitive to stress, in a good way though, they just flower endlessly everywhere at the drop of a hat and I wasn't sure how far I could push them given how sensitive they became during flower. I have been fortunate with genetics, but I wonder if I will be able to look back on this in years to come and say "she was a beast that could handle stress" or is my inexperience just leading me to blow smoke up my own ass. I'll need more experience with different strains to make that judgement, either way I look forward to the journey. Think next ill look to see how much i can pack on a single cola. Smell is really starting to pick up, I would install my carbon filter, but its legal and I love the smell of harvest looming.

End of Week 11 (Fourth week of flower) The ladies are frosting up more and more by the day and there are trichomes everywhere! I Added about 8g per plant of GHF BioBloom and a cup of worm castings a small final feed to make sure the ladies have what they need to grow big dense buds. And increased the CO2 to 1400ppm and in 2 weeks time I will cut the CO2. The main top-sites are bulking up more and I am very happy with the inter-nodal spacing as well as the bud formation. Trying to keep the training to a bare minimum and ONLY removing fan leaves that are blocking bud sites. I have been keeping a cooler average temperature - and also keeping the relative humidity lower. Pest Report: None

Good thricome development this week.

First day of our days.... For this im using a super solo that i mixed by myself I used a mix of perlite, rice husk, peat moss and agricultural calcium carbonat with 20% earthworm castings Average RH - 55% Average Temperature: 25º 500ml pot for rooting fase and than i'll transplant direct to the final 15L pot

Sayer le grand jour et arriver, nous passons enfin en floraison. Changement photo-période : 19/10 (Croissance J37) (Pré-Floraison J0) On va laisser faire la nature, le stretch va bien renforcer nos petite et espérons pour cette première récolte une réussite absolue à la hauteur de nos attentes. Arrosage 1L : 19/10 Pulvérisations (Vita Race + Sugar Crystal) : 19/10

To tell the truth, I am very surprised myself, how amazing she is FastBuds Gorilla cookies, she copes well with a small space:) she drinks 1 liter every day :) everything looks better than expected:) good luck to everyone.

Any day now. Everything going on 63 days of flowering.

Just changed nutrient solution & rotated the plants💧🌿🌺

Week 4: Light defoliation

This girl is speeding toward the finish line. Except for the very tops of the buds most of the pistils are still white so i haven't bothered looking closely at the trichs yet. Will be aiming for a 1 week flush with ph adjusted water. Such a low maintenance girl. Have been feeding with same regimen as my other girl and she's not been causing me any concern.

Привет друзья! Из-за сильной влажности на улице, перенеслась в бокс. Прихватил плесень. так бывает. Пришлось срезать макушку и некоторые шишки. Растение подходит к харву. Через дня 3 буду резать. Всем мира и добра!
