Soaked seeds all in peroxide solution for effortless germination 48 hours or until root pops out 1mm, than I paper towel them for 2 days for tap roots before planting in the medium. Note: Smile now Cry Laterz and FX3 were started one week later. Not pictured in this post. The first 6 popped were lemon cherry pop, which are from S1 seeds I made from 2 females using the stress method. I just raised my flowering temps for one day at 92 degrees during week 4 flowering to make them herm as an experiment and it worked😅! This was during a hot summer and I just shut off the a/c for a day in the room which I usually keep at 77-82 degrees! So I basically tricked them!

First Week of Flower. Been going through some deficiencies this week still not exactly sure what it is it's either a magnesium/calcium deficiency or phosphorus deficiency. Stems turning red/purple and some leaves losing their color turning more of a dirty green/brown color with brown/orange spots on the leaves (ONLY HAPPENING ON STEMS AND LEAVES ON THE VERY TOP OF CANOPY) so it makes me feel like its a CalMag issue.

Week 18 (Week 10 Flower) Grow Diaries Report – Part One: Wrapping Up the Journey 🌱 Pre-Harvest Reflections This week has been a mix of emotions as we approach the final chapter of this grow. Let’s talk about why we made the decision to pre-harvest portions of the Gorilla Melon and Papaya Zoap. While both plants have been incredible performers, a few buds on each started showing early signs of bud rot. This is an unfortunate but natural challenge when growing such dense and resin-packed colas. The decision to harvest those sections early was made to protect the rest of the crop and ensure quality and integrity for the remaining flowers. Vigilance is key in a packed garden like ours, and careful monitoring ensured the rest of the room remained safe and thriving. 🌈 A Symphony of Colors and Frost The grow room is a visual masterpiece this week, with shades of deep purples, vibrant greens, and golden hues taking over. The fading is absolutely breathtaking, showcasing the natural progression of the plants as they near the end. Combine this with the insane level of frost blanketing the buds, and it’s safe to say this is one of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever cultivated. ✨ Spectrum Management: The Secret to Stunning Results The current lighting setup is a game-changer: • 50% whites to maintain overall balance and structure. • 100% reds for enhanced ripening and color development. • 100% UVs to boost resin production and amplify those trichome levels. The ThinkGrow LEDs paired with the TrolMaster spectrum control system have truly unlocked the garden’s full potential. Watching the plants sparkle under this setup feels like seeing stars on a clear night—magical and unforgettable. 🌟 Quick Recap: The Journey So Far From seed to this incredible moment, this grow has been a testament to precision and passion. From germination to veg and through flowering, every detail was carefully tuned, every decision made with intention. Along the way, we navigated challenges like pests, mold, and environmental shifts, proving that adaptability and dedication are essential. And here we are, ready to bring this journey to a close with nothing short of perfection. Week 18 (Week 10 Flower) Grow Diaries Report – Part Two: The Tools That Made It Possible 💡 ThinkGrow LEDs: These lights have been the heartbeat of the grow, delivering unparalleled spectrum control and efficiency. The ability to fine-tune every stage of the plant’s life cycle has been a game-changer. 🌬️ AeroFan System: Consistently circulating air while keeping the environment balanced and mold-free. The AeroFan’s role in preventing hotspots and ensuring even coverage cannot be overstated. 📱 TrolMaster System: The brain behind the operation, the TrolMaster system has provided unmatched control and precision. From monitoring temperature and humidity to dialing in lighting and CO2, it has truly transformed how I grow. 🏕️ Tent-X Setup: The foundation of the grow, this tent provided the perfect space for controlled cultivation. Its design maximized efficiency while keeping everything neat and manageable. 🌡️ Sensors and Monitors: Every parameter was tracked with pinpoint accuracy. From VPD to soil moisture, the sensors ensured every need of the plants was met in real-time. Each tool, piece of gear, and setup component has worked seamlessly together, creating a true ecosystem of excellence. This grow wouldn’t have been the same without them. Ending with Gratitude and Excitement To the community: thank you for joining me on this incredible journey. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just tuned in, your support has been everything. From the lovers to the critics, you all push me to grow (pun intended). To the sponsors: ThinkGrow LED, TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Pro-Mix Soil, and everyone else involved—your products are not just tools; they’re inspirations. And finally, to these plants: you’ve taught me patience, resilience, and the beauty of the process. 🔥 Next Up: Stay tuned for the epic harvest and a deep dive into the final results, from trichomes to yields and beyond. The end is just the beginning of the next adventure. 🌟 Let’s finish this grow strong! 🌱✨ Growers Love.

05/27/2021 Its been a while but all is well, the red light only seems to have encouraged lots of new growth. But I think I'm going to stick with 25-50% blue spectrum and 100% red for the finish. I'm kind of disappointed that she has no distinguishing smell, but she was bred for resistance to PM specifically. All the good stuff will come once i have stabilized consistent PM resistance. (Work in progress) Then the good stuff will be worked in..... If needed. Ps. I do believe it will likely be 12+ weeks of flowering to finish (Hope she has a racy/trippy sativa side) fingers crossed🙏

11/24: Looks like the Emerson Effect/14 hour photoperiod is working...stretching has commenced.👍 11/25: Had to raise the lights 5 inches today. The big Sucrose Overdose and a Zkittlez are really stretching. I'm using platforms of varying heights for the shorter plants to keep the canopy level. 11/27: Raised the lights another 5 inches and fed today. 11/28: Raised the lights another couple inches this morning...now, I'm thinking I should have topped them...that's a foot in about 3 days...doh!😏 They're already starting to show signs of budding up, so I'll just have to do some supercropping and tie down the taller mains. 11/29: Raised the lights a couple more inches and supercropped the tallest Sucrose Overdose.

Mar 10th Week 13 CDP # 2 is doing awesome Some LST required and possibly some more defoliation this week CDP # 1 is picking up a little bit from last week but still far behind it’s sister plant Mar 13th Fresh nutrients today More defoliation CDP # 1 is still lagging behind CDP # 2 is healthy happy filling out nicely It is the biggest plant in the tent Mar 14th Defoliated CDP # 2 big time. Took me an hour or so. This is an experiment with defoliation for me. I want to see if this will help provide the stimulus to produce buds instead of leaves. All in an attempt to get the biggest nuggets I can.

Our number #17 grows really well, the leaves have only a few flaws and are tapered a little curled perhaps but I think that's the effect of the beginning, the stem is straight and does not bend and is very well proportioned. I am giving Plagron Pwer Roots rooting soon starting with Alga Grow. The plant grows well, the leaves are regular and very turned towards the light, it is very proportionate even I don't see stretching, bending and things that don't convince me. The girls have already been poured into 11 liter jars because the biodegradable jars have started to decompose prematurely, no problem let's go to the ground.

These have been growing kind of slowly but I got the temps up a little this week by adding some extra light and am getting vpd dialed in. These will only be in this tent for a few more days I am just starting to harvest the main tent so once that is done they will be moved to the Gorilla Grow Tent and put under the new Growlightscience LEDs so we can see how the perform full cycle. The autos will have to get moved back into this tent once I flip the main tent but the photos will prob need a few weeks of veg before that happens. Been doing foliars with the Growzyme from greenbuzz as well before lights out every other night which seems to make them happy. I think theyll take off over the next couple weeks.

Day 10: They have been growing nicely. Beautifull green leafs, no deficiencies or stress. I did some Defoliation and I'm planning to top some plants but not all of them since they make nice main colas as well. Also nice roots so far, will let those grow for another 1-3 days before repotting them into 7L pots. While doing that I will add some new clay for beneeth the pots to have a good run-off. I will add some mycorizza as well to improve the roots and I will water them again with lots of Regulator(anti-stress) and Rhyzotonic( root stimilator). Some days after that, they are ready to get pushed into flowering. Sativas like to grow twice and sometimes even more in size. So the size which they are at the end of this week will be enough. So at the end of this week you will see them being in 7L pots and in a bigger grow space under lots of lamps. There are like 3-5 plants not growing nicely. Might have to kill them. I'm not going to waste time,energy,nutrients on those if they don't grow in size in a couple of days. So might end up with just 235 plants. Il update again at the end of this week. Day 14: I almost finished the rest of the grow room. I still need to adjust and replace the lamps some more and other things. Did many defoliation below the plants. Thoose branches are never going to preduce nice and thick buds anyways. Such a waste of energy and nutrients. Because of the removing of branches and leafs, They get a better airflow and better exposure of light as well. So for now they look a little bit ugly haha and not so bushy anymore, but they will grow into fine looking ladies. I kept 5 or 7 branches each plant and some bigger plants I even topped because I don't want them to stretch alot. Another reason is that I want bigger stems. If other plants that didnt get topped, not improving stems I can still top them until the end of week 1 of flowering. I'm putting them into flowering, by putting the lightschedule to 12hours of light and darkness. It will take a few days before they start preflowering. The first buds will be seen in like 10-14 days. Untill next week!

This week I defoliated the plants a bit. The plants have burnt leaf spots so I am going to give them a few watering sessions without feeding them with a PH of 6 next week I plan to switch them to 12-12.

8/19 - Start of week two and so far everything is going smoothly. Just watering each day w/ RO water and organic black strap molasses. 8/21 - I think I may have two phenotypes going here. It seems I have two of the faster growing/taller pheno and one of the shorter, slower growing pheno. 8/24 - Doing a 24 hour brew of some compost tea for all my plants. I think these new seedlings will love it. 8/25 - Watered all with compost tea. They seem to be coming along nicely. No issues so far!
