Continue into week 4
Update firmware on TrolMaster Tent-X (3.6)
Replace all filters, remove and clean drain buckets and tubing.
Mix new batch with 56ml AN connoisseur AB + 4.5g Big Bud Powder + 7.5ml Silica - total 30l @ 1.34EC. NPK Ratio is 1-2-3 , Cal/Mg ratio is 4-1.5
Target EC for this week is 1.2 start and end week with 1.3. Checking plants will determine timing of strength
Donne one pass off long misting (3min) with diluted solution @ 0.84@C
Set new misting time @ 60s ON time
Finally have time for managing canopy, pull down taller branches and position all tops to fit under screen without touching. Try ro spread them evenly across the net, top per square of net
Defoliating all girls, remove all fan leaves and prune lots of smaller branches from middle. Lot of foliage is removed!
After stripping humidity drop significantly (41%) , need to install humidifier again to keep RH @ 50-52%
Set dehumidifier thermostat to work @ 50% RH. Reduced light intensity for this day, let girls recover from stress

All girl looking great after defoliation,)
Clean benches and floor in box
Replace all filters
Set dehumidifier thermostat to work @ 47% during night times, 50% @ day. Humidifier is also connected and set @ 49% Day and 45% @ night, if needed
Inkbird humidity controller stop executing's automation for day/night settings. Start manually to change day/night values for now
Next several days, until weekend, temperatures outside will be high , 29c max. Hope it will not raise temperature in box to much.
Light is set on TrolMaster Tent-X controller to dimmed at 28c
AC Infinity fans are set to AUTO mode with height temp set at 26c and high RH set at 54%
Top up tank with 25ml AN connoisseur AB + 4.5g Big Bud Powder + 7.5ml Silica - total 75l @ 1.34EC

Refilled the tanks with 20l of fresh mixture. 25ml AN connoisseur A+B + 3g Big Bud Powder + 7.5ml Silica - total 20l @ 1.21EC
Refilling is done in two passes, one time before light up, and second time early in morning, two houres before night time.
This give additional nutrient cooling without running water chillier. Refill soulution is @ 18c
Checking EC and PH 2-3 times a day. The electroconductivity values are around 1.24EC.
I maintain the strength until it drops or rises. For now, I’ve caught the perfect strength, the liquid is almost static with very small oscillations in electroconductivity and PH.
Replaced all filters in the system, replaced on washing… Every other day is enough, during daily cleaning there is no dirt on the filters.
The girls are handling the environment well, leaves are raised as they should be, they seem like very happy plants.
Formation and enlargement of flowers can be noticed with the naked eye.
The wave of warm weather continues all this week. Expected temperatures for the next seven days range from 25-29c. Need to pay attention to that
Raise light 10cm, top of canopy now is around 50-55cm

Last week of nutrients finished, plant will now be flushed for 2 weeks. Just had a harvest from another seed of this plant and we've decided to call the strain "Monkey Magic", as a few puffs will summon a cloud which whisks you away into the sky! 😀

This week, my Titans are sleeping in a cooler dark room until harvest.
So for your viewing pleasure, I've loaded some videos made of the Titans during there time with me.
I'm wondering what to serve at my Queens Tea Party... I made some butterscotch pistachio bars and modified the recipe for less sugar. 😋 We experimented with topping the bars with black cherry spread, orange marmalade and a mango jelly. All are very tasty as the bit of sour/tart enhances the butterscotch sweet.
A few solar eclipse pics.

Week 16 (Harvest)
30-1 First day of darkness.
Temperature: 27.9 degrees (lights on) 18.8 degrees (lights off)
Humidity: 65% (highest) 48% (lowest)
31-1 Second day of darkness.
Temperature: 24.5 degrees (lights on) 19.5 degrees (lights off)
Humidity: 65% (highest) 50% (lowest)
1-2 Drying day 1
The Saparot is ready to be harvested!
Before chopping her down, i took a lot of pictures.
I was able to remove most of the soil to see the rootball.
I hang plant as a whole to have a slow dry.
The exhaust fan is on setting 4.
2-2 Drying day 2
Temperature: 19.1 to 17.5 degrees
Humidity: 62% to 57%
I changed the exhaust fan to setting 2 because setting 4 was a bit high in my opinion.
3-2 Drying day 3
Temperature: 19.9 to 18 degrees
Humidity: 62% to 59%
I changed the exhaust fan to setting 1, as someone told me that it was enough air movement for drying.
4-2 Drying day 4
Temperature: 19.8 to 18.5 degrees
Humidity: 62% to 59%
5-2 Drying day 5
Temperature: 19.9 to 18.8 degrees
Humidity: 62% to 59%
Today i checked on the drying plants and the buds are shrinking a bit, they are getting a little bit crispy on the outside aswell,
I hope they wont dry as fast, and i aim for a 12/14 day dry.
Cant find the temps for 6-2 to 2-13.
I do have a video when she was at the half of the dry process.
14-2
Trim day, yay!
She was easy to trim, the buds are nice and dense, and there was not a too high bud/leaf ratio!
She dried for 14 days.
End results:
Dried buds: 81 Grams.
Dried Trim: 18.5 Grams.
I am really surprised how good these genetics are! If you like CBD, i really suggest trying JYM Seeds out!
The Saparot smells very fruity almost like a fruity coctail. The buds are super dense, and very bag appealing.
After some months of curing the sweet fruity smell changed to a more sour smell, but still smells amazing!
To be honest, i cured her a bit poorly, burped too less, and because the buds are so compact she holds moisture better then normal, so she tastes harsh, but thats on me.
I have a pack of JYM's Sour Fruit aswell, so i will for sure try it out again! And my hope is already very high :D
Thanks for following my diary, and feel free to check my others out aswell!
See you at the next one!

Total days above ground: 63
Total flower nights: 24
Just beyond 3 weeks into flower and the plants are showing their potential. The Mountaintop Mint has made great strides but is still a lanky bitch. I had to HST every branch, and may need to bend a couple more down before vegetative growth abates. Not a fan of this growth pattern and still unhappy about 2 out of 9 seeds providing a viable outcome. The bright side is that yield should be fine given the plethora of bud sites. Despite being difficult to grow next to other plants, I feel much better about its prospective outcome than I did just 1 week ago. That whole "crazy shit can happen in flower" thing rings true, again.
Overall the canopy has filled in nicely. I have a couple spots where light is wasted and I'll make some adjustments to the process to fix that for future grows. Now that I've settled on plant size and number of plants, improvements can be made each cycle until it's clockwork. I like the 12-cola vs 8 cola experiement. I've got a fairly long list of edits to make to various sections of my "bible," which means I liked the outcomes of most of my incremental adjustments. Continual, systematic improvement in action...
One other incremental change on the docket but not yet realized will be dropping nutrient concnetration once vegetative growth ends. Exact timing will be based on what I see in the foliage. I see some minor tip curl and its a bit darker than I want. So, it may come sooner than later. This'll be something I tweak over the next few grow cycles until I'm happy with the late-flower health.
I'll drop fertilizer concentration 10-15% on next refill and see how that plays out. It'll take a couple refills of reservoir to near 100% transition without draining it. If necessary, I'll drain and do a full refill for more pressing needs. A rez scrub before final stretch is coming, regardless.
Side note:
The impacts of VPD can be enormous. Last year (2025-2 diary) I had a humidifier wick get fouled and RH dropped while VPD spiked for more than a few days, thinking I could power through or that the canopy would soon provide more moisture. Nope, growth stalled in a significant way. By comparing day 34-42-49 of 2025-2 and day 38-42-49 of this diary, I can see a huge difference in growth at same point above ground. The consitency with which i do things makes it fairly certain it's the extende period with extremely high VPDs that caused the difference.
Also, interesting that it mostly catches back up by completion of third week of flower. The size difference is nearly undone by this point, though 2025-2 took 4 days longer vege phase to get there. Even so, I still think this grow is more than 4 days ahead of 2025-2 (the difference in vegetative phae duration). Time will tell if the development is ahead of the pace in 2025-2 or whether it's simply mostly an offset due to a less efficient vege phase for 2025-2.

Allright! After the suspected light stress last week, the plants are in their second day of 18/6 light schedule and it looks like they are recovering. The front-left plant's upper leafs seem to be straightening out and overall the plants look healthier than last week 👌. I plan to measure the light intensity, but as things look now, there were two plants that were more susceptible to stress from the LED lights. It's not what you want in a grow, but it has taught me a valuable lesson. Don't just blindly assume a plant can handle 100% of the grow light in the third week ✌️☘️
In the end I don't think it affected the grow that much. The plant on the left corner in the back is a bit taller compared to the rest, but all plants look healthy and ready to start blooming! I have applied some LST clips on the side branches of the tallest plant. This guides the branches sideways and creates a more open structure. You can check them out at https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/growing/533-bending-clips.html
🌿🌿🌿 Mid-week update
The plants have grown very fast this week and now they're all in bloom ✌️ Because of the fast growth, I've removed some of the fanleafs in the canopy, and fan leafs and small branches in the lower parts of the plants. I use the leafs for tea with liquorice in the morning and at dinnertime I chop them up for a mixed salad. The taste is really good and raw Cannabis is super healty as well.

I was wrong about my clones I thought that I had two clones of mimosa evo and two red hot cookies then I was thinking maybe it’s green pheno, but now with the strong smell I recognize the blue widow from zamnesia🤭
I also think 🤔 that the clone looks the same as the mother plant so it cannot be green phenotype 🤪💪💪💚

Bit more progress this week.
I feel it is slow growing for whatever reason.
Hopefully she will pick up in the coming weeks.

I was going to upload the process, but the wiser side of me said no. So I've edited it out and some of the evaporation process can be seen. Bho/wax/honey whatever we care to call it
