Week 4 - It’s Friday again, and that means it's update day! Another week has passed, and as usual, there's plenty to report. A lot has happened, and once again, I’m bringing you along on my journey as a total beginner in the world of growing. Every week is a new learning experience, and I’m excited to share what’s been going on in the tent as my Amnesia Zkittlez and Gorilla Cookies continue to grow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key Growing Parameters -Humidity: 43-55% -VPD: Max 1.4 -Airflow: Always active at level 1, auto-adjusts when needed -Day Temperature: 25-26°C -Night Temperature: 22°C -Light Cycle: 20 hours light / 4 hours dark -Lamp: IONBOARD S24 from AC Infinity (240W) Watering Schedule: -Day 24: 1 liter -Day 26: 1 liter -Nutrients are applied with every watering Light Adjustments: -Light distance now at 50 cm -Intensity increased to level 10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Growth Update The most noticeable change this week has been the incredible growth of the plants. I’ve uploaded some new photos for everyone to see, and it’s amazing how much they’ve shot up compared to last week. The differences in growth behavior between the Amnesia Zkittlez and Gorilla Cookies are becoming even more pronounced. The Amnesia Zkittlez has more than doubled in height since last week, shooting up and stretching outward. Meanwhile, the Gorilla Cookies hasn’t grown as much in height, but it has become noticeably rounder and bushier, almost like a pufferfish. It's fascinating to watch these plants develop in such different ways. While the Zkittlez focuses on vertical growth, the Gorilla Cookies is spreading out horizontally, forming a dense, compact structure. All around the plant, small flower sites are emerging, extending from within the plant and beginning to take shape. This difference in growth styles really highlights the unique characteristics of each strain, and I’m excited to see how they continue to evolve. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Training: LST and Defoliation This week, I’ve also focused heavily on training the plants using Low-Stress Training (LST) and some selective defoliation to optimize light exposure and encourage better growth. I applied LST more aggressively over the past few days, using clips to gently bend the stems of individual branches outward, almost to a 90-degree angle. This technique has helped the plants spread out horizontally, allowing more light to reach the inner and lower branches. I’ve been adjusting the clips nearly every day to refine the structure and ensure that the light penetrates deeper into the canopy. The goal is to encourage outward growth and create more space for the lower branches to thrive. In addition to LST, I began selectively removing leaves. I started with the first set of fan leaves, followed by leaves growing inward toward the plant’s center. These were either shading promising bud sites or simply not contributing to the plant’s energy needs. I’ve also removed the lower bud sites, which likely wouldn’t have developed into anything substantial. This way, the plants can focus their energy on the more promising, higher-up buds that are receiving better light. Throughout the defoliation process, I’ve been careful not to remove too many leaves at once. I’ve only taken off leaves that were either blocking key bud sites or were small and shaded, ensuring that the plant still has enough foliage to continue its healthy growth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nutrients and Watering Routine There haven't been any changes in my nutrient schedule or the way I water the plants this week. I’m still using the same BioBizz nutrients at the recommended dosages with each watering, and the watering process itself remains unchanged. Each plant receives a consistent 1 liter of water every couple of days, and so far, the plants are responding well. However, based on some recommendations I’ve received, I’m planning to introduce CalMag from BioBizz into my watering routine over the course of the next week. This will help ensure that the plants have enough calcium and magnesium, which are essential for strong cell structure and nutrient uptake, especially as we move further into the flowering phase. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personal Reflections and Lessons Learned As I progress through this grow, I’m realizing how much more there is to learn, especially when it comes to managing light exposure and training techniques. It’s been rewarding to see how the plants respond to LST and defoliation, but I’m still figuring out the perfect balance. Every small change seems to make a big difference, and I’m constantly amazed by how quickly these plants adapt. Being a beginner, this process has been both challenging and exciting, and I can’t wait to see how the flowering stage develops. This journey has been a humbling experience, reminding me that growing plants isn’t just about following steps, but also about observing and learning from the plants themselves. Every day brings new insights and challenges, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see these changes reflected in the health and growth of the plants. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking Ahead In the next week, I’ll continue to monitor the pre-flowering phase closely. I expect the water and nutrient demands to increase even more as the plants transition into full flowering, so I’m preparing to increase the watering amount to 1.2 liters per plant soon. I’ll also be keeping an eye on the structure of the plants, especially the differences between the Gorilla Cookies and Amnesia Zkittlez. I may begin defoliating some of the lower leaves to give the plants more room to breathe and allow light to penetrate deeper into the canopy. There’s a lot of excitement ahead as the flowering phase approaches, and I’m eager to see how the plants respond to these new stages of growth. Stay tuned for more updates, and feel free to drop any advice or questions in the comments—this journey is all about learning together!

First day for my mac stomper clones from roots_farms 💚

DLI auf 40 eingestellt. Langsam fangen die kleinen richtig an zu stinken. Denke noch 3-4 wochen dann sind sie fertig.

Gorgeous buds from this hard diesel pheno #2 guys, very lemony and sweetie aroma, I will see how good this lady is when I smoke her but looks and smells incredible, I enjoy with every strain of Gea seeds didn't get a bad plant so far, let's see how this lady keeps developing those NUGS!!! ❤️💚

I am really happy with how this Sweet Mandarin Zkittlez is after doing , also their Papaya Zoap grew very well ,both with thick branching and stems that produce thick fat buds that smell gorgeous, sweet n fruity with some gassy aromas there too ,I will grow these strains again, Thanks @Sweetseeds.com for another great one 👍 🙏 Sincerely: Paul_on 😶‍🌫️😉

Still just runnof from my indoor plants, the rest is in the video.

My LIT Marker plant is thriving, and it's interesting to see the similar leaf structure to the Black Valentine I grew from LIT Farms. I gave it a dose of calcium this week, hoping it will help green up the leaves and keep it healthy. It's been a challenging week with the constant rain and ridiculously high humidity. Keeping things dry indoors has been a real struggle. Despite the weather, I managed to flip all my feminized photoperiod plants to flower this week. I'm hoping the switch will go smoothly, but with this humidity, it's going to be tough.

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 5 in the Pink Rozay saga, and let me tell you, the excitement is reaching new heights. Our girl is not just growing; she's evolving into a verdant masterpiece, filling up the Scrog net like a true champion. It's a sight that warms the heart of any dedicated grower. The addition of the Scrog net has proven to be a game-changer. It's like Pink Rozay decided to become a botanical architect, crafting a masterpiece of greenery. The benefits of a full canopy are becoming increasingly evident. Every inch is utilized, and the plant structure is nothing short of perfection. It's like witnessing nature's artistry unfold before my very eyes. And let's talk about the newest member of the team – the Future Of Grow 600W full spectrum LED. This light is nothing short of amazing. It's like giving Pink Rozay the perfect spotlight to showcase her beauty. The plant structure is thriving under its spectrum, and I can see the promise of lush, dense buds in the near future. The room is bathed in a glow that whispers promises of a bountiful harvest. With the room now so full, I can feel the anticipation building. It's almost time for the delicate dance of defoliation. Soon, I'll be making space for the buds to reach their full potential. It's like preparing the stage for the main act of the botanical ballet – the transition to the flowering stage. The energy in the room is electric, and I can sense the Pink Rozay's readiness to embrace the next phase of her journey. As I prepare to defoliate and flip into flower, I'm reminded of the careful balance in this artful process. It's not just about removing leaves; it's about sculpting the plant to maximize light penetration and airflow, ensuring every bud receives its fair share of energy. It's like pruning the masterpiece to enhance its beauty. (but this is for next week episode stay tuned) This journey has been a testament to the power of patience, care, and understanding the needs of the plant. The Pink Rozay has become more than just a cultivation project; she's a living, breathing work of art. And as we step into the flowering phase, I can't help but feel a sense of pride and gratitude for being a part of this extraordinary journey. As always, a massive shout-out to Aptus Holland for being the backbone of this green adventure, and to Future Of Grow for providing the perfect illumination for Pink Rozay's stage. Stay tuned, fellow growers, as we venture into the enchanting world of flowering. The Pink Rozay saga continues, and I'm thrilled to have you all along for the ride.

Well I went and named all the girls after rock and roll songs with their name in the title. see if you can guess all 6 artists 😁 A few are taking off some are still putt sing along, one looks like a Nutrient lock out (N) it looks a little yellow. #3 and #6 are under a different mfg. light and I think that is what is shifting the color. When they are under white light they do not look as bad I gave them there first mid sized meal today 2/15/19 850 ppm @ 5.8 ph the runoff is pretty high 6.8 so tomorrow ill water the runoff I collected in the saucers and ph'ed it 5.5 and re-water ea. with an equal portion of that mix. I have a tripod now for the camera and the time-lapse should be more stable and less jumpy. Ill post some pics from the start of the week and the end. Cheers

Looking very healthy and growing fast. Watering her with orgatrex and Bio PK5-8 with every watering as recomended by producer. Day 45 connected on autopot and will be left alone for 7 days. 30ml of orgatrex diluted in 25 lit of water left in water tank. Air pump conected at the bottom of the tank hopefully to prevent fertilizer to sediment and block the system.

Nach genau 84 Tagen war es nun soweit, gegen Ende hin wurde die Blueberry schön dunkel und entwickelte einen hervorragenden Duft!

The plants are huge and they are developing preflowers. I lowered the photoperiod to 14/10 in 3 days I lowered it to 12/12. I gave water to flushing roots and now I gave phosphorus and potassium for flowering

Add auto ultimate from Dutch passion. One seedling plant is 2 weeks old. Trying to keep humidity higher. SEED: #1 30cm #2 40cm #3 40cm #4 40cm #5 30cm #6 15cm CLONE #1-1 #2-1

Still ok 👍

Gro buckets held great while I was away! Top soil was a lil dry but the plants thrived through the bottom feed they got. Smoothie is a lil slow to the party, not showing strong signs of growth.. Will be brewing a tea for them to give in about 24 hrs. I see signs of pre flower on most, will top dress with bloom and girl flower power.

She is performing well... Ran into a few deficiencies as her leafs started thining.. Not to sure if it has to do with genetics but nothing that can't be adjusted.. Other than that...flowering stage is looking absolutely good.. Thanks for tuning in much love

Well I configured my tent to run two 750s in air cooled hoods I have some impressive airflow using air mover fans I bought off of a hard ware store as you seen in my other video the light set up.
