Day 39 11/06/20 ok so she is doing very good and the color is amazing. i cant wait till she gets bigger and boy she is thirsty i have to 5 from 1 gal to 5 L. i have lots of info in the vids for your viewing. happy growing and keep your stick on the ice

19 May 2021 My Blue Ox baby is looking good! She is growing and her leaves are looking better. I defoliated the few old sickly leaves that were cut when she was cloned and she seems better for it. I fed her half a gallon of chilled 50 degree water with the following nutrients: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The initial pH was 6.50 and didn’t require adjustment. The TDS meter was 768 ppm. She still had plenty of runoff, and the pH was 5.79, and TDS runoff was 2615 ppm. The tent temp was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 42%. I’m pleased with her progress so far, except her branches are still a little too short to start any LST. She’ll get there.... eventually. 21 May 2021 The Blue Ox is thriving! Her leaves look good, and her stalk is starting to fatten up and fortify itself for later growth. She and her tent mate are soon going to outgrow their current home. I’m still on the same feeding chart, so here’s what was given: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, FloraBloom 2.5ml. My pH monitor stopped working, so I used history as my guide. Detailed record keeping wins again! The solution has historically been right on 6.5, and doesn’t need adjustment. The TDS meter was 842 ppm. Runoff was what was expected, and the TDS there was 2588 ppm. I chilled the water to 53.3 degrees F. The tent temp was 78.5 degrees F, and humidity was 44%. I’m still only feeding half a gallon. 23 May 2021 My Blue Ox is starting to grow like an ox! She and her tent mate are going to out grow their home sooner than I can get them into a larger one. I want to go ahead and flip her, but I don’t think my veg tent can take 2 flowering plants. I’ll figure it out. I’m keeping the nutrients at the same stage till I think she needs more. My pH meter is officially dead, but luckily my records are doing me well. I fed a half gallon of chilled (51 degrees F) water with CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The TDS was 762 ppm going in, and runoff TDS was 2841 ppm. The tent temperature was 80.6 degrees F, and humidity was 44%. 25 May 2021 Today is the last day of the second week of this diary (6th week of growth), and I’m planning on switching to the flowering stage tomorrow to start off the 7th week. My Blue Ox is getting big, and I don’t want to veg anymore! I will not make the same error twice! I let my 1st plant veg for 10 weeks from seed, and it’s a BEAST! It takes up a whole 48 x 48 x 80 inch tent all by itself!! Never again. So today I fed half gallon of chilled water (46.6 degrees F) with CALiMAGic increased to 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The pH was 6.6 and didn’t need adjusting. The TDS was 932 ppm going in. Runoff for pH was 5.6, and TDS was 2701 ppm. Tent temp was 79.4 degrees F, and humidity was 53%. I plan to defoliate a lot very soon to prepare for fresh buds to grow. She’ll have to flower in the small tent for 3 weeks then I’ll move them to the bigger tent so they have room to grow.

D43. The third week of flower starts, and the girls are rocking it in the tent. They are bushier than a 70s pornstar, and the first girl has doubled in height in the last week. The second girl is only now starting to go into flower, so I expect her to soon begin stretching. She isn't far behind in height, so I suspect she will eventually be taller. There are a few yellow tips on new leaves on the first girl. It probably won't become a problem; it is only minor so far, but I will continue to monitor it. I slightly defoliated the girls below the canopy to promote better airflow, but I will wait until the stretch is done before a more substantial defoliation. ------------------------------ D46. The girls are raging in the tent. The first girl has stretched over 8 cm in three days, and the second girl is keeping pace, although she still has yet to go into full flower. I'm concerned regarding the first girl, as new leaves at the top of the canopy are thin and displaying interveinal chlorosis. Fresh leaves further down look fine, as do older leaves. The stretch and the increased light might have something to do with it. We'll see. I checked the DLI; it was around 53, which is way high this early in flower. I raised and dimmed the light to a DLI of 48, which is still high but should be more appropriate. ------------------------------ D49. So, I have a tent-sized jungle on my hand. Three weeks ago, I nearly cut down these plants because they had a rocky start, and I feared they got stunted. I have no idea what happened since, but HOLY SHIT! These girls have blown up. The second girl stretched over 25 cm this week and turned into a beast, which is funny, considering she was the smallest one from day one. She will continue to stretch longer as she is only starting to flower. The first girl is further along and is showing proper pompoms and will remain shorter than the second girl. Still, I hope that the difference in canopy height will be manageable. I will clean up the lower canopy in the coming week. The first girl is ready to shave her legs, but the second girl still needs a few days to settle into flower. ------------------------------

Week 6 (3-3 to 9-3) 3-3 Temps: 17.9 to 22 degrees Humidity: 58% to 74% I have a lot of faith in these girls, at the first sight they see a bit unhappy and it looks like it has some nutrient problem going on. But the leaves showing signs are the ones where the plant snapped in half, and they are recovering, im sure they will be allright in some time! 4-3 Temps: 17.8 to 21.9 degrees Humidity: 61% to 72% 5-3 Temps: 17.8 to 21.5 degrees Humidity: 55% to 79% Watering: Both 1000 ml. (Only calcium) 6-3 Temps: 17.8 to 21.7 degrees Humidity: 66% to 82% 7-3 Temps: 17.6 to 21.7 degrees Humidity: 68% to 82% 8-3 Temps: 17.7 to 21.7 degrees Humidity: 70% to 88% Watering #1: 1000 ml. The girls are doing very well! They grew quite a bit 😀 9-3 Temps: 17.3 to 21.5 degrees Humidity: 63% to 87% Installed the dehumidifier, as the humidity is getting high at lights off.

Week 4 Veg Report - TrolMaster Chronicles 🌱 What a week it’s been in the garden! We finally transplanted the Papaya Zoap into its final Autopot, and let me tell you, this plant is something special. Though her roots weren’t quite where I wanted them to be yet, the move was needed to help her catch up with the rest of the crew. She’s already looking fantastic in her new home, and I have no doubt she’s about to explode with growth in the coming days. Sometimes, you just have to trust the process, and I’m feeling like this is one of those moments. It’s almost as if the room itself is taking on a life of its own. 🌿 In fact, I’m starting to believe that what we’re building here is something greater than ourselves—there’s this energy in the room, a feeling of everything coming together perfectly. I can’t wait to see how this journey unfolds! Dialing in the VPD with TrolMaster’s Tech Now, let’s talk VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) and how I’ve been keeping everything in check with the Tend-X and the incredible (DSH-2U) Humidity Station. VPD is crucial to plant health—it’s all about finding that perfect balance between humidity and temperature to optimize transpiration and nutrient uptake. The (DSH-2U) Humidity Station, connected directly to my humidifier, has been an absolute game-changer in this regard. With its real-time data and automation, it allows me to monitor and adjust the RH with pinpoint accuracy. Simple yet brilliant, the (DSH-2U) Humidity Station is keeping my room at the sweet spot I need. Whether I’m tweaking the settings from my phone while I’m out and about or just fine-tuning things while relaxing at home, this machine does it all. It’s like having an extra pair of hands in the grow room—and when you’re managing something as complex as VPD, that’s invaluable! And yes, the TM+ Pro App—let’s not forget how awesome it is. I’m adjusting my grow room from the couch, the car, or even the bathroom 😜. I’ve said it before, but this app is making growing easier than ever. Feeding the Girls: The Perfect Blend 🌱 We’ve upped the game by adding CaMg-Boost at 0.25 ml/L to the feeding schedule. Along with the 1 ml/L of the all-in-one liquid, this brings the TDS up to 320 ppm, with a pH of 5.99 and solution temperature of 24.8°C. In the soil, readings are around 415 ppm, with temperatures hovering around 25°C The plants are absolutely thriving, and I can already see the difference this new feed is making. I can’t help but have a bit of fun with this process—it feels like I’m spoiling them with the best of the best. And they’re rewarding me with beautiful growth and vibrant green color. You know how it is, with the right care and attention, these plants are truly becoming a masterpiece in the making. 🌱 Shoutouts 💚 Big shoutout to TrolMaster and ThinkGrow LED for the phenomenal gear that’s making this grow smoother than ever.

Die Pandora geht nun in die Haupblüte über und der Stretch scheint abgeschlossen zu sein. Man sieht ihr den Rudersliste Einschlag deutlich an, doch die Blütenbildung wirkt sehr harmonisch und sie entwickelt dicke Stigmen. 💚

~ Seedsman Zkittlez Auto ~ Zkittlez (Grape x Grape Apple) Auto x Auto Fruit (Auto Fruit Cheese x Auto Blueberry) Zkittlez Auto is one of the very sweetest-tasting auto strains available anywhere. It is a sativa-dominant (60%) strain that was bred from Zkittlez (Grape x Grape Apple) Auto crossed with a male Fruit Kush Auto, the latter a remarkable fruity strain bred from Fruit Cheese Auto and Blueberry Auto. Growers can expect to harvest some good yields of high-THC buds. Zkittlez Auto remains a fairly short plant, rarely exceeding 120 cm. in height wherever it is grown. This is a vigorous plant which is able to metabolize a high level of nutrients and she's a thirsty girl too! If growing indoors close to neighbors it is strongly advised to ensure good and effective carbon air-filtration in order to neutralize powerful odors. This strain's life-cycle is approximately 90 days from seed to harvest. The leaves on this plant are big and wide serving to convert every lumen available into Zkittlez goodness. Indoor growers should obtain between 400 - 500 gr/m2 while plants cultivated outdoors will produce slightly more at 500 - 600 gr/m2. Lateral branching is very good and it is recommended to use supports/ties to prevent snapping and keep buds close to the light source. This strain's scent is sweet and fruity with candy and berry notes. Its high-THC has been measured at between 21 - 24% with less than 1% CBD. The effect is well-balanced, cerebral and euphoric, and is very good for social situations as well as for relaxing in front of the TV either alone or with company. It also has the added effect of helping to relieve chronic pain, helping with nausea, insomnia and depression as well as stimulating the appetite.** **Credit to Seedsman.com ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~ The Setup ~ ~ Grown in a 2qt plastic popcorn pot filled with Mother Earth Grow 70/30 Coco/Perlite with Xtreme Gardening Mykos added. ~ Seed was germinated directly in the medium without any 'pre-soak' ~ Feeding will be by Dutch Pro Nutrients ~ 24hr light cycle while germinating ~ 20/4 light cycle after first leaves appear. ~ 4x8 Gorilla Tent ~ HLG 650R w/ 30w Supplemental UVA Bar controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation.

This one's going to be super fun with one of my favorite autoflower strains from Seedsman Seeds, growing in a little 2qt. popcorn pot and entered in the 'Best Rarest & Smallest Pot by Seedsman' contest, this one's gonna be a champ! 🤩 Today I went ahead and planted a seed directly into the medium which was pre-moistened with tap water from my well. After I placed the seed about 4-5mm deep, I gently covered it with medium and poured approx. 1oz of water on it. I'll keep the pot in the tent with a Solo cup over it to retain the moisture until it sprouts... Fingers crossed! 🤞🤞 11/3- When I checked on the Zkittlez this evening I was elated to see that it had broken ground sticking up about 4-5mm from the medium! I removed the red Solo cup from her and replaced it with a clear cup that has ventilation holes in it and which I misted the inside of with water to ensure adequate humidity for the seedling. 11/4- This morning I checked on her and she's already up to about 18mm tall but has not shed her shell yet. I'll make sure that the medium stays just moist for now until she's a little older. By late in the evening she had shed her shell and her cotyledon's began opening. I noticed, after taking a close look at her, that her first tiny set of leaves were brownish looking with light colored tips. I immediately thought back to when I was pee-moistening her medium and had a 'high moment' using my other plants nutrient solution which was around 800ppm in her pot instead of the straight well water I usually use. I thought that she was getting nutrient burn causing the funky color of her first leaf set but fortunately by the end of the 20 hour light cycle, she had her first leaf set out and the were a healthy green! 11/7- Well gromies this girl has a week behind her now and I'm elated to say that she's healthy and doing marvelously! Up until now all I've done is make sure that her medium didn't dry out using straight well water ph'd to 6.1 @ 75℉. Today I went ahead and watered/fed her with 0.6L of well water with Dutch Pro Grow 'A' & 'B' added @ 10ml/g, Dutch Pro Multi Total @ 7.6ml/g, Dutch Pro Take Root @ 3.8ml/g, Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig Special @ 1.2ml/g and Earth Juice Oily Can @ 5ml/g which was then ph'd to 6.0 @ 74℉. The Seedsman Zkittlez Auto is doing great and now is at 2 inches tall with good color. Here we go into her second week since breaking ground and the beginning of a beautiful Seedsman cultivar....follow me! 😎👍❤️ ~ Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following my grows and for all the ❤️and support you give! May all your days and grows be Blessed! 😎🙏💚

Very happy with how this lady has performed, amazing quality buds, very sticky and dense flower with a concrete smell that I love so much, which is that kind of fruity sweet flavor that this lady is able to produce, it's been a beautiful journey, I'm gonna enjoy a lot this flowers. Very recomended guys!

Hifi 4G seems to be a bit sensitive to the current and previous feeding levels. Had multiple leaves exhibit nutrient burn. Otherwise all seem to be happy. Hifi 4G, NL/Skunk and Blueberry continue to lead the pack on Bud development. God I hope I don't screw this up!

I can tell she’s starting to stretch, I saw the hairs forming last week so this may be week 2 flower, I’m pretty new to this.

Aqui esta mi primer time lapse. No tenia ni idea de como se hacía, así que para lo poco que se, he quedado satisfecho. La cámara no es de calidad, y al ser una cámara deportiva no tiene un buen enfoque tan de cerca. Ahora que la planta se ha espigado he rellenado lo que quedaba de la copa para que gane estabilidad. Intentaré seguir con el time lapse si la vuelta al trabajo me lo permite.

This strain was a mystery from the beginning. I planted 6 plants and got 4 drastically different phenos. Surprisingly they all have similar aromas but visually they’re much different. She stretched a lot and needed two layers of the sCrog net. One plant had 2 random seeds so I’ll probably be planting her again. Next time I’ll use a low stress method to see her at her full potential!

Well it seems i ran into some sort of issue and had to flush. I hope it fattens a bit more even though i feel like the issues may have something to do with the root system. I am at day 44 out f a 55-65 day flowering plant. I just hope i can get through this so that i can start flush this friday and harvest in like 2 weeks.

8/9/2018 - All of these girls are doing great and have all shown their white pistils now! The branching on them has taken off and they responded to being topped really well. I’ve switched them from my 4x4 grow tent into a 4x8. I have to say it is significantly better having the extra space to be able to water, move around and for better air circulation with multiple fans. I also believe this will greatly help with light penetration inventory they bush out. I’ve been having issues keeping the daytime air temperature down due to the extream heat wave we have been experiencing. I think I have tackled this issue by running the lights at night now while the temperatures are cooler. Tomorrow is the official switch to flower and will be on a 13 hours off, 11 hours on light cycle for the next 2 days. Then on a normal 12/12 light cycle. IVE read that this can help the plants switch quicker. I’m looking forward to seeing the growth over the next few weeks!

A month in and they have about 3-4 nodes.

New week. Started feeding 2days ago. 2part instead of 3. Managing till i get the last part in. Roughly 2weeks. Currently using. micro and bloom from advanced nutrients. Currently waiting for roots to show under the rockwool then i can move it into the 5gallon bucket.
