I had to harvest my Blue Dream plant early due to some larger mold spots I found on the buds. To prevent the mold from spreading to my other plants, I acted quickly and made the cut. Unfortunately, this meant I couldn't give her a proper flush. Despite the abrupt end, the aroma of the buds is fantastic, and I'm optimistic about the taste. During trimming, the scissors became sticky with resin, which is a good sign of potency. I carefully harvested bud by bud to ensure I didn't miss any mold-affected areas. Unfortunately, the main bud had the worst mold spot, so I had to take it apart. It's puzzling since they were never outside during rain and only had to contend with morning dew. Overall, I'm pleased with this grow and feel humble. It was an incredible journey filled with challenges and triumphs. I'm looking forward to enjoying the fruits of my labor and learning from the experience. Thank you to all my growmies for following along and being part of this learning experience. Your support means a lot. Stay tuned to see how my remaining two trained ladies turn out. One love, one community. ❤️ Harvest Report: Blue Dream (Update 09.08.) After 9 days of drying, I brought the Blue Dream buds into my apartment for the final trim before jarring. The initial yield was 40 grams, but during my last inspection, I discovered more mold spots, this time buried deep within the buds. Unfortunately, all the larger colas were affected, forcing me to take the buds almost completely apart. In the end, I managed to salvage 21 grams of pure, healthy buds without any mildew. I also set aside 6 grams of “quarantine” buds, which I’ll dry separately. Sadly, I lost 13 grams to mildew—a tough blow, but one of the harsh realities of outdoor growing. It’s disheartening, especially since three other friends experienced similar losses this season. Honestly, I’m not sure what I could have done differently, aside from discarding the plant earlier. But even with these setbacks, if the cured buds taste as good as they smell, I’ll still consider this grow a success. The genetics from Fastbuds proved to be solid, and I recognize that the challenges I faced were largely due to environmental factors and my own decisions. This was a learning experience, and despite the issues, I'm happy with what I've achieved.

This week was an absolute nightmare. For five days straight, our residual-current circuit breaker (RCD) kept tripping multiple times a day until I finally discovered—regretfully—that the dehumidifier was the cause. As a result, the ladies will now have to go without a dehumidifier for an indefinite period, which is leading to very high humidity levels in the basement. today she got transplanted into bigger pot. Light hits with around 450 PPFD

Last day of the 3rd week and first day of 4th week. Plants bounced back completely from my 10 days absence, and they're praying as always when approaching correctly with Aptus nutrients. In order to prepare them for late flowering, I fed them in previous week with added Fulvic Blast. The very next feeding I gave them beneficial bacteria again with Micromix Drip, before they start receiving the highest ammount of phosphorus. Now I stop with adding any additional nitrogen (Startbooster) as they stopped stretching and they will focus their energy into flowers, so I'm implementing the Topbooster which helps our plants with sugars and brix level. Are you aware of brix and what does it means for your plants health and taste in the end product? If not, start reading and discovering, thank me later 🙏

Videos explains it briefly how they look so on the environmental side I’ve only been monitoring RH and temps. They’ve been sitting at 55-60 RH and 80-82 F. I separated the 4 plants as they were now overlapping in the 2x2’ section. They were transplanted in 2 gallon pots last week and by the looks of the Beast at most 2 weeks and she will fill that pot no problemo. I need to get them to 5 gallons before switching to flower. It starts with good genetics I couldn’t be any happier with the Beast, still amazes me daily.

1/16 - got the first topping done for the mainline. Cleaned up the rest of the shoots below. Excited to do a proper mainline for the first time!! Going for 8 tops 1/21 - pretty sure I overfed her! She will be getting phed water next feeding. She's coming along though! I may not cut her for another week to let her fully recover and start thriving again 1/23 - not topping her just yet, she is still developing that 3rd node on the 2 mains so I will shop her in a few days and clean up some of the lower stuff. Knuckles looking thick!

It was fairly easy to clone these from my veg tent which I will display. I used a 16 site EZCloner using the Clonex Rooting gel in combination with the floraflex V1 and V2. The first week went well, 2 small feeding per day. Slight heat wave in my city “Mass” reached high temperatures in the 90s. Overall first week went well although I did hace to install my chiller to keep my reservoir temperature down on the 70’s. These plants were pheno chased throughout my years as a medicinal patient (So Flavorful 🤤😋). I can’t wait to see the final product. Please enjoy this is my first time keeping a journal hopefully all goes well.

Video 7: An overview video of the babies, moments before i performed the first topping/man-linning/prunning/LST on the biggest gorilla. The other one is recovering at time from those ugly color marks she has on them leaves. As the leaves seems not healthy i decided to not perform the man-lining on this one until it has a pair of healthy main leaves on which i can trust to guide. Video 11: Main Gorilla ultrafast topping/man-linning/prunning/LST. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- I traveled to Venecia this week and i have very few photos, also i returned with a terrible flu, so i'm not going to take too much photos for the next week too, i'm so sorry. I'm a bit scared about what happened to the gorilla that looks sick, the other one is growing like a monster, is almost double size comparing with the other 3 plants, this week i've seen enough distances on the plant to start with the techniques. I must say that she responded very well to the pruning... Also this week i'm going to apply a foliar irrigation to see if i can help to the sick gorilla. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 12/03/19 - 700 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.95 E.C. PH5.9 12/03/19 - FOLIAR - Used about 25 ml of (200 ml water with 1ml Pro Active, 2 ml Plant Vitality + and 0.1 ml Foliar Spray) *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- Vídeo 1: TimeLapse de 7 días, 1 imagen cada 60 segundos @ 30fps, observad la maravillosa danza de las nenas y cómo crecen. Video 7: Un vídeo general del armario, está grabado momentos antes de realizar las técnicas de cultivo sobre la mejor de las gorilas. La otra se sigue reponiendo de esas manchas feas que le salieron en las hojas. Ya que las hojas parecen enfermas, he decidido no hacer el man-lining hasta que no tenga un par de hojas saludables en las que poder confiar para hacer el guiado y alimentar los brotes. Video 11: Vídeo super rápido del topping, man-lining, podado y entrenamiento. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- He viajado esta semana a Venecia y tengo pocas fotos, también he vuelto con una gripe del horror por lo que también voy a disponer de pocas fotos la semana que viene, disculpas por anticipado. Estoy un poco preocupado por la Gorila que parece enferma, la otra crece como un monstruo, si la comparas con las otras es casi el doble de cualquiera de ellas. Esta semana ya siento suficiente espacio en la planta para comenzar con las técnicas. He de decir que responderá muy bien al podado. Esta semana también aplicaré un riego foliar a ver si ayuda a la gorila enferma. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 12/03/19 - 700 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0,95 E.C. PH5,9 12/03/19 - FOLIAR - He usado unos 25 ml de (200 ml de agua con 1ml Pro Active, 2 ml Plant Vitality + y 0,1 ml Foliar Spray)

Day 26: the girls are starting to smeeeelllll aloooot! They haven’t popped the hairs yet but almost there! I just want them to start stretching soon so I can use my net! They are to small for that right now but in a week maybe 😃😍 Day 28: hey last day of this week. I can’t wait to see these girls flower. I won’t train them so much more because I need a faster harvest this time. My last grow I trained them like this until week 5/6. So I will let them stretch and start using the net. I connected my autopots yesterday and everything seems to be just fine. Mars hydro SP3000 High PPFD at 2.8 umol/j, average yield at 2.5g/w, increasing your yield 50% or more compared with old blurple and HPS lights, 300 watts output. Dimmer knob added, more convenient to adjust the brightness. Up to 30 lights can be daisy-chained and control together on just one light, or just have one light in 120x60 tent. https://www.instagram.com/marshydro_aliexpress2/

Všechno probíhá hladce, jediné co nedodržuji je vpd. Musím říct, že club41 je neskutečný... Osypany jako kdyby na něm byl půl roční prach a to máme teprve 5 týden a bez UV. Další kolo pojedu s UV doplnkem a opravdu mě zajímá jak to dopadne.

Almost done here! What a journey. I’m gonna flush her tonight, even if the soil is still wet. I’m sorry I don’t have one extra week (2 weeks with Overdrive would be better), but the buds are big and fat now. Definitely time for a big flush. You can see trichomes maturation on the two videos I uploaded.

Week 9 Flower Report: The Countdown to Harvest Begins! 🌼✨ As the ninth week of flower unfolds, the room is a symphony of colors and frosty brilliance—a true gardener’s dream! But as we approach the final stretch, it’s a delicate dance of vigilance and care to ensure a clean and bountiful harvest. Here’s a deep dive into this exciting and educational week: The “Flush” in Full Swing The flush continues as we prepare the ladies for their final days. While we’re a week or so away from harvest, the plants are responding beautifully, showcasing stunning fades that highlight their unique genetics. This fading process is a critical part of the journey, helping the plants naturally finish their cycle while preserving those complex terpene profiles we all love. The Mold Incident: A Teachable Moment This week brought a challenge—a few buds succumbed to bud rot (Botrytis), particularly on the Papaya Zoap and a single bud from the Gorilla Melon. While disheartening, it’s a reminder that mold can occur even in the most well-maintained gardens, especially with dense colas and a full canopy. After a thorough inspection, all affected buds were removed and discarded to prevent the spread. A quick note to all growers: defoliation plays a massive role in airflow and prevention of such issues. This is why mid-flower defoliation is a game-changer, and I’m grateful it kept the rest of the garden healthy! Papaya Zoap’s Unique Quirks The Papaya Zoap continues to be a star of the show with its frosty buds and… albino tips! These tiny white tips are likely from being too close to the lights. While it’s a cosmetic detail that doesn’t affect quality, it’s a fascinating display of how genetics and environment interact. A Frost-Filled Wonderland The room is absolutely glistening with frost. Trichomes are piling up like snow, giving the entire garden a magical wintery appearance. I genuinely believe the ThinkGrow LEDs and TrolMaster spectrum control deserve a shoutout here. Running deep red, far red, and UV at 100%, combined with whites at 50%, is delivering incredible results. The ability to fine-tune the spectrum is a game-changer for resin production and terpene enhancement. Environmental Mastery Here’s a peek into the environmental stats keeping the ladies thriving: • Room Temperature: 26°C • Relative Humidity (RH): 53.2% • VPD: 1.57 kPa • CO2: 1067 ppm • PPFD: 690 µmol/m²/s This balance creates the perfect conditions for fattening buds and maximizing quality in the final weeks. Nutrient & Soil Rundown On the nutrient side, the solution measures: • pH: 6.67 • TDS (Reservoir): 65 ppm • Solution Temp: 18.3°C Soil stats show a TDS of 695 ppm, indicating there’s still some nutrient reserve left in the medium—a perfect transition into the flush phase. It’s all about ensuring the plants have enough to finish strong without compromising flavor or smoothness. A Garden of Many Colors The fades across the room are a sight to behold. Each strain is showcasing its unique hues, with the Green Papaya leading the frost parade, and the Punch Pie taking the crown for bud size. Meanwhile, the Gorilla Melon is dazzling with red reflections, and the Papaya Zoap keeps turning heads with its white crystalline canopy. Videos with TM+ Pro This week, I’m also sharing videos straight from the TM+ Pro app. This tool has been a joy to use, offering precise control and insights into my grow environment. It’s simple for beginners and robust for advanced growers, proving once again that the TrolMaster ecosystem is a must-have in any grow room. P.S. Ecosystem Excellence I can’t emphasize enough how incredible the TrolMaster ecosystem is for growers of all levels. From intuitive configuration to seamless integration, it’s a system that simplifies growing while delivering professional results. Whether you’re just starting out or refining your craft, TrolMaster has your back. Thank Yous & Shoutouts As always, my heartfelt thanks to my sponsors: TrolMaster, ThinkGrow LEDs, Aptus Holland, Pro Mix Soil, Cannakan, and the amazing seed banks for their genetics. Huge love to the community—followers, haters, and everyone in between. And, of course, a special nod to Grow Diaries for being a platform where we can all share and learn together. Let’s finish this grow strong, and here’s to an exciting harvest week ahead. 🌱✨ Stay tuned, stay positive, and as always, Growers Love! 💚 Discount Codes so you can save big on your next check out 💚💚💚 Kannabia - DOGDOCTOR 30% off SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off CannaKan- DOGDOCTOR 15% off terpyz.eu - DOCTOR 15% off The Neutralizer - PORKIT5-DOG 15% off Fast Buds - DOGDOCT 15% 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 🙏

Started this week off strong. Decided to switch out the extra Grow Big for extra Tiger Bloom since it’s a lower concentration on N and higher P. New growth is a good color and no tip burning. Raised the lights and turned them up to 100% for the rest of flower. Sour Kush is starting to stink up the tent! NCH is looking like she wants to finish soon, but buds haven’t fattened up and trichomes are still a mixture of clear/milky. Feed pH 6.2, EC 1.8. Water pH 6.3, EC 0.8.

Day 78. All is good, think next weekend is last day for two Alaskan Diesels. Need to put few pure water waterings through them. Other girls still need food, so I took all N and CalMag away and will keep feeding for few more weeks. Northern Lights are ridiculous behind ... But they were in shade and still trying to achieve something .... Happy Growing !!!

Overall nice strain the line has obviously been stress tested as she held up amazingly during a heat wave that saw temp rising to 33c at the worst. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys the old skool skunky terp profile and is looking for something abit milder in effect but still leaves you feeling nice and high.
