When I began the contest I had only grown Magic Melon once before (last winter), it grew in an 18 litre pot, became around 4 feet tall, and completely filled a 3'x3' tent. A friend of mine successfully grew a seed I gave them this summer in a container about 4 litres and the plant was considerably smaller. The fact that it can be successfully grown in less than 250mL is astonishing, I have buds from the one grown last winter that are bigger than the can I grew this one in. Harvested 91 days from sprout.

Week 1 Report: The White OG - Solo Survivor’s Journey Survivor Status: One Seedling Standing Strong 🌱 Our girl The White OG is standing tall and doing her thing! While some seeds may take their time or not make the cut, this resilient little seedling is already setting the tone. With close to 100% relative humidity (RH) under the dome, she’s got the ideal environment to kickstart her roots and early growth. Environment: Humidity Dome Life • RH: Close to 100%, creating that tropical atmosphere where seedlings thrive. Humidity at this level helps keep her cells hydrated, and with a dome, moisture is consistently recirculated. This prevents her from drying out and promotes steady root and leaf development. • Lighting: For now, we’re keeping the intensity low. At this young stage, seedlings benefit from indirect, gentle light, just enough to encourage photosynthesis without causing stress. Future of Grow LED on a dim setting (200 PPFD) does the job, providing the perfect balance for early growth. Water & Nutrition: Keeping It Simple No heavy nutrients this week; she’s working off the stored energy in her seed. The aim is to keep the soil or Root Riot cube slightly moist but not soaked. Overwatering can drown young roots, so light misting is all she needs to stay comfortable and growing strong. Growth Observations: Slow but Steady Wins the Race Our solo survivor might be growing at her own pace, but that’s exactly what we want! At this early stage, less is more, and slow growth often indicates a strong foundation. We’re looking for stable, healthy roots and tight early nodes as she finds her rhythm. Grower’s Tips for Week 1 1. Humidity Control: Keep RH high but watch for condensation build-up. Too much moisture can invite mold, so allow some airflow if needed. 2. Stay Light on Water: Just enough misting to keep the medium damp. 3. Patience Is Key: Each plant has its own pace; giving her time to establish now sets her up for a strong journey. Next Steps As we move into Week 2, I’ll be keeping an eye out for early leaves (cotyledons) opening up, as well as steady, even growth. Soon we’ll gradually adjust light intensity and start thinking about nutrients. Shoutouts to the Community! Big thanks to Seedsman for the genetics , to Future of Grow for top-notch lighting, Aptus Holland for the reliable nutrients, Trolmaster for total control and everyone in the growers’ community cheering on this solo survivor. 🌱💪 Growers Love! 🌞 and here’s to a strong start for the future of this grow! 🌱 DISCOUNT CODE - SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏

Mar 7 (day 78): Start of week 12. Mar 11 (day 82): Chopped plant.

Hello everyone! At some point, a thought struck me: isn't the pot too small for my Dark Phoenix? She has grown to a size that I did not expect and did not plan). and I was tormented by the fact that it grows in a 25-liter pot just .. so I decided to take a chance and transplant it into a 35-liter pot. the transplant took place without problems and stress .. she did not even guess what had happened. The root system is curled perfectly. Bioenchaser does its job 100% well!

Just to add! Makes u feel warm and fuzzy in your face and eyes! Lovely buzz recommended strain 🔥💯 Can literally smell the sweet blueberry and mango even when drying she was letting off a lot of blueberry more than mango but now dry tastes more like mango but hasn’t been cured yet! So I’ll be adding a report soon! She went longer than expected needed another 2 weeks! She didn’t cover leaves so much with triches but did all over the bud!

11/01/21. inicio de semana riego con giga grow y forza silicia 13/01/21 no se aprecia pero ya esta mostrando pequeños pistilos , se rego con nutrientes rootz.mx gigagrow, forza silicia , y magna flor. 2ml por litro 17/01/21. cierre de semana para esta pequeña riego diario con 0.25 lt

12/09/25 - I think this is the last watering for the girls. I did chop one poundcake yesterday as it was the smallest and taking up room I really could use. For the sake of a few extra grams ill deal with it and make sure my drying process is dialed before I put in the real contenders 😝 Checked trichs on them and mostly cloudy with some ambers. Ive not checked the Sour crinkle but I can tell thats going to be the last to finish which Im fine with 😁 13/09/25 - All needed water again prett sure the strawberry gorillas will be done in a few days and the sour crinkle late next week 14/09/25 - Trichs looking good mainly cloudy and 5% amber all over so this week will be chop week for 2 strawberry gorilla's and maybe the last poundcake. Sour crinkle could do another week or two we will see 😋 15/09/25 - Watered all 1.25-1.5L each 16/09/25 - Watered with microben actus by Dr Organics 17/09/25 - Watered all 1.5L each 18/09/25 - I think chop day is tomorrow we'll see ill give the trichs another check and I think we start the hardest bit. Drying so ill smoke it 👌

nice indica structure, compact nugs , full of trichomes. smell is gassy on the front, with tangerine citrus on the back, acid, but sweet, cant wait to smoke it

Germination 07/09/2022 Hi to all the old and new growers out there. Spring has barely started but I'm so AMPED to start again. My first grow attempt was a disaster. I started to early for the season. I wasted some good seeds and those Blasted 🐌 🐌 snails messed up everything. Got up started again and took it as a learning curve. I had 1 seed left from the previous attempt and this had to be the golden ticket. The first important thing I learned was getting to the correct pH. Used a 1 liter jug not knowing that the pH down was very concentrated substance. Added 1ml of pH down to tap water with a base of 8.5+ pH and brought it down all the way to less than 4.5 pH. I probably tried like 5 times and realized that a single drop made a difference of about 2 pH. I got the feel of it and had to source a better water supply. I had the option of using tap water but didn't have the time to do a 24 hour airstone run ever time I wanted to water the plants. The local water supply shop was a better option. I got a consistent 6 pH and the price was decent. The Snail 🐌 Problem... I have a plan for those F**kers. We have 2 very nice hydroponic shops in my city. Here's the supply list: Freedom Farms Seed Starter GHE pH Up Kushy pH Down GHE pH Test kit Freedom Farms 10 liter fabric pot Simba Genetics: White Widow auto 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 "I find it quite ironic that the most dangerous thing about weed is getting caught with it."

Definitivamente es una gran inversión. Para este Concurso usaré la gama de fertilizantes de Plagron tal como mandan las reglas. 📆 Semana 6: La planta sigue evolucionando de manera espectacular. Los cogollos han ganado bastante volumen y densidad, mostrando una estructura compacta y resinosa. El **Green Sensation de Plagron** continúa desempeñando un papel clave en la nutrición, ayudando a potenciar la floración sin signos de sobrealimentación. El aroma dulce y afrutado de la **Runtz** se hace más intenso con cada día, llenando el espacio de cultivo con su fragancia característica. Las hojas mantienen su tono verde vibrante, lo que indica un buen equilibrio nutricional y una salud general excelente. No he encontrado rastros de plagas ni deficiencias, lo que me permite enfocarme en maximizar la calidad de la floración. Estoy monitoreando de cerca la maduración de los tricomas para ajustar los próximos pasos en la fase final de floración. ¡Cada día más cerca de la cosecha! Os seguiré actualizando. 🌿

My nine Week 7 flowers are thriving under the new GrowPro Solutions under-canopy lights. The lights have really brought out some amazing colors in the buds. It's so cool to see how much they've changed in just a day! I'm excited to see how they develop even more in the coming weeks.

The holiday season got away from me a bit and prevented me from getting an update in on Monday but the plants are _really_ taking off. There are now visible bud sites and plenty of them. *Full Disclosure*: I've significantly upgraded my light in my flower tent from a Spider Farmer SF-2000 to a Spider Farmer SF-4000 and, as such, I'll likely see my yield take off quite a bit this grow. It's certainly having an impact on the heat in the tent and, subsequently, the amount of time the in-line fan is running; that being said, the plants appear to be responding quite well! The last two grows I've run have fallen off hard (complete and total yellowing/chlorosis and drying out regardless of consistent watering/light/nutes/pH) around week five of flower and, with that in mind, I'm trying to keep this grow as simple as possible. I'm purposely using no advanced grow techniques where I'd usually top, LST, and HST. The only "advanced" technique I'm using is a bit of defoliation but this is mainly just to avoid some of the dense bottom growth that tends to decrease air flow, increase humidity, and take away from more rewarding top-growth. This week, along with replenishing nutrients, I've fully emptied out and cleaned my reservoir. While doing so, I noticed a fair amount of red-ish algae growth which I'll likely address with more consistent cleaning of the reservoir and some sort of additive (I'd welcome any suggestions and dosage if you've got any suggestions). All in all, great progress.

Another week in the books. They are getting close to harvest and I switched them to plain pH adjusted water. Another 1-2 weeks.

Transplanted to bigger pots this week seems to be going well
