Yo community! A friend of mine just started a Legal Grow in Germany with his roomate under my Supervision, as it is now Legal to grow in Germany. So I thought about documenting this grow. I've been growing for long time now, but my buddy Bili is a complete newbee at this stuff. I am positive that this "is gonna be huge". We plan on growing 6 plants. Bili is gonna be growing 3 and his roomate also 3 plants. Of course Bili will only care for his own 3 plants and his rommate for the other 3 as it is regulated like that by law. It is Germany where everything has to be like this apparently. lol. This grow will be 2-3 Weeks indoors 51w with low cost 3x17 Watts 4000 k LED Bulbs. (3€ each) Those produce 2500 lumens each, about 147 lm/W 1.45 l pots for the first few weeks indoors. The plants will then go into 5l pots on the window sill until harvest. faced to the south. So far the seeds have been placed into water over night. tomorrow we will put them into the soil. They are all Automatics. Day 2: seeds soaked over night. about 16 hours. The Gelato are already opening their shells.. The others are still closed. All sinked to the bottom over night. We are now planting them into the Soil.:) We soaked 9 seeds. 3x O.B. 4x Kryptonite and 2x Gelato. After cutting the dome off the lamps and counting the LED's (81) it looks like these are 0.21w SMD 31lm per LED (manufacturer says 147lm/w). for bulbs really good little LED's. looks like these are cree 2835 J series or similar types. there are cree 4000k J types that are exactly 31lm wich would be exactly what each LED should produce. (2500/81). Plant in Soil Date was 05 june. 14:00 Today, 2 Days and 10 hours, (58 hours) after planting in soil The 2 Gelatos came to life:) and one Kryptonite basically 3 full days including soaking time. 08.06 at 1:30 is the beginning of VEG Day one We will give them 24 hours light. day 5 after waterglass. Berries still no sign of life. lamp is at 30 cm distance. no signs of stretching. At Day 5 Veg we located the berry seeds and put them into paper towel, cracked them open and scraped the shell. we have enough plants now but nothing to choose from in case a plant has weak genes. So we hope a few berries will make it. probably old Seeds.

Week 16 Flower: Embracing the Flush & Celebrating the Shine 🌟 It’s week 16 of flower, and a pivotal moment in the grow journey! This week, we’re diving deep into the flush phase, a critical step in achieving those clean, flavorful harvests. 🌿 Switching over to just water with 0.5 ml/L of System Clean marks the start of what I like to call the “So Cal Flush.” We’ll break down the whys behind this practice, the benefits of flushing, and how it sets the stage for smooth, aromatic results. Let’s demystify this important phase together and make sure everyone feels confident implementing it in their own grows. The Room is Glowing ✨ Every plant in the garden is unique, shining bright under the ThinkGrow LEDs! 🌈 Here’s the lineup of what’s happening: • Green Papaya: The frost queen herself, dripping with trichomes, setting the frostiest example. • Punch Pie: Claiming the crown for the fattest buds in the room—absolute monsters in size and density! • Gorilla Melon: A beauty with mesmerizing red reflections dancing across her leaves. • Papaya Zoap: Still stealing the show with snowy whites and pristine structure. This week was a photographer’s dream—I pulled out my Sony and Nikon cameras to capture some jaw-dropping close-ups and unique angles. I’m sharing these shots to highlight the sheer diversity and beauty of these genetics. Tech in Action: TM+ Pro App 📱 Let’s talk tech for a moment. The TrolMaster ecosystem paired with the TM+ Pro App has been an absolute game-changer. Capturing and sharing real-time data and alerts, it provides peace of mind and full control from anywhere. Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just starting out, this tool simplifies and elevates the entire experience. I’ll share some videos from the app this week to show exactly how it’s helping me stay on top of the grow like never before. P.S. — A Word on the Ecosystem 🌐 The TrolMaster system is proving to be a standout solution for growers of all levels. Its intuitive design and easy configuration make it perfect for beginners, while offering the advanced customization and precision that experienced growers crave. Whether it’s managing lights, fans, or sensors, this ecosystem has you covered with simplicity and reliability. A Big Thank You ❤️ None of this would be possible without the incredible support from this community, my sponsors, and Grow Diaries itself. Massive thanks to TrolMaster, ThinkGrow LED, Aptus Holland, ProMix Soil, Cannakan, and the incredible seed banks for making this journey so rewarding.

She recovered very well from last week training and lollipop. I hope this technique gives me good results, is looking promising so far, I decided to lower the nutrient amounts to half the recommended from advanced nutrients since I burnt my pineapple chunk a little.

Fruity Pebbles in Blue Planet nutes, is doing good. She started to show some deficiency signs in minor spots. I increased the feed for what I seen ptesent. Potassium and cal mag. She has been stretching good. I cleaned out some of the under side as well today. Everything should be good to go at this point. Thank you ILGM. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Week 3 Might have went a little over board with the training... LST'D FIMMED SCROGGED She seems to be showing signs of flowering already and that may be because she was in seedling for 2 weeks instead of just a few days or just 1 week so I may be behind 1 week in my diary... We shall see. I love the green on her, tells me she is enjoying her nitrogen and isn't starved.

happy with the growth of this plant. its the top performer in my tent in terms of vegetative growth :)ive noticed purple/brown tips on the leaves, and purple leaf edges and stems. if anyone can help and guide me through flowering feel free to give me a comment or private message :) I feel more happy and alive now that ive been caring for these plants the last while. i love watching the progress day to day, listening to music with them and singing to them, they are quickly becoming a really big part of my life and health. over the moon that ive reached the flowering phase! roll on harvest and il update this when im home as my phone is gonna die! :) Update - Day 37 - 29/10/19 Flushed the plant today, runoff ph was 5.95 and ppm was 837. i have to flush to obtain runoff in these pots and i think this is causing problems, especially because im not using RO water. the ppm of my water is 140, and thats what ive been using for my first grows. (il pick up some water from the store soon) so im using 5 gallon pots with pure coco and autoflowers, the flushing to obtain runoff i think is just taking away from precious time in the plants life cycle. it would probably have been easier to grow photos in these pots and veg them out until they are monsters and then flip into flowering. oh well theres always next grow. and still for a first grow im happy with where im at :) watered: 1.8L/4ml Canna A/4ml Canna B/3ml Rhizotonic/3ml Cannazym. ppm 380. this should help with the purpling of the leaves and help flowering :) also needed that flush to get rid of salt buildup! Day 39 - 31/10/19 Happy halloween folks! Wow... Quick one is thriving now, i think ive learned enough to keep the plants in a near optimal setting :) tooks some photos and a video as usual, loving how the plants are developing! anyway this plant has grown about 6cm in 3-4 days, and its the buds getting taller instead of veg growth :) if actually looks like a plant off the 📺 more and more. i think im gonna get between 12-20 grams off this plant :) the flush worked a treat and i think the old nute and salt buildup was stopping it stretching! following cannas feeding schedule slightly for the ratio of nute/water. i learned that:(cocoforcannabis.com) Coco is supposed to be mostly saturated at all times which in turn means less watering to get runoff. now that im in the flowering stage too im watering once every morning at lights on! maybe when i get the tehnique down i can increase to two waterings per day - once at lights on, and once 10 hours later. To sum up this week ive had a lot of stretchy growth ,(flowering) a nice lavender like smell from the plant. a better fertigation schedule and i learned how to make dry ice hash from popcorn and trim :) i tried this in barcelona and it was amazing! super expensive so it will be nice to have my own stash :) Dont forget to check out my videos and my other diaries :) all the best!

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Made the call to chop this plant as it was only going to make nanners if I left it to long. Overall a giant disappointment, the Fast Flower FF was an Autoflower AF, Its put me off fast flowers and really whats one week when you grow indoors for an early harvest. Not something that's in my list of things I need. The smell of the plant is nice, basic weed scents, nice and sticky and full of crystals. Will see what happens in cure once it finishes drying. It made a weird nub of plant at the base of its stalk. have not seen that before, IDK what it was/means. Will provide more details in smoke report week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow

Day 15 - First day in the second week of veg cycle and I am generally happy with both ladies. Cheech is looking like she is bending over a little with the weight of her leaves, so I’ve given her a bit of help to keep her steady and strong. I’ve also noticed that the roots on Cheech are sticking together and a bit darker than I would like. This could mean that the air stone left a “dead spot” where the water wasn’t circulating properly. I’ve adjusted the air stone to be more centre in the bucket and made sure that the water is cold enough to prevent potential root rot. Will need to keep a close eye for the next week or so. Lights have been not been adjusted (still at 60cm from seedlings) because there has only been about a 2cm growth in the last week. Changed the water (10L), buckets and nutrients to keep everything healthy. The tubes for the air bubblers are wiped down because the nutrients stick to the pipe. Milwaukee PH controller is running for about 1 hour to bring the PH down again from the addition of the nutrients and change in water. Day 17 and we have a clear front runner in Cheech. Her third node is open with a fourth clearly visible. Venezia has a clear third node, but it isn’t fully open yet with the fourth just barely starting. Day 20 - Cheech has a clear fourth node now and the fifth is starting to show whereas Venezia is one node behind. They are looking healthy and they will be ready to be topped in the coming week of veg

Flowering started on day 28. I applied a topdressing once with Green House Feeding BioBloom at 1.5 grams per liter Soil. I’ll repeat that in the third week to reach the full dose of 3 grams per liter. I also discovered some thrips, so I reacted immediately by using small nematode sachetsboth on the plant and in the watering solution.
