Today marks two weeks since germination and also the start of my journey with APTUS and their premium line program. ๐Ÿ˜Ž First time working with these products so Iยดm gonna take it slow... mixing Regulator & Startbooster with PH at 6 and temp at 20ยบC. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Lowered the lights by 10 cms and the average for the week was 23,5ยชC (temp) and 70% (hum). ๐Ÿ˜Š The supplies have arrived and the upgrades already installed... 2x 200mm duct vents for the side walls air entrance and swapped the 150 combi ducting for a 125 PhonicTrap acoustic ducting, that was just laying around here from a previous giveaway and wanted to test it out. Required a plastic reducer and some duct tape but the job was done ๐Ÿ˜… As bonus a little trick I developed about placing sticky cards outside the tent near the side vent as first barrier and a little video with all the ladies together ๐Ÿ˜ Really stoked with this one! ๐Ÿ˜‹

Aug 24: Cheese is doing fine. Donโ€™t take flash pics of photoperiods unless youโ€™re immediately using a 730 nm far red light to put them into dark mode. Aug 26: gave the plants another lazy compost tea. I was holding off for a couple weeks to avoid giving them too much N. Aug 28: defoliated some inner branches that were crowding things.

Kind of gave up on the weekly updates lol but here we are closing in on the end of the cycle! 3 bears is looking absolutely amazing, Iโ€™m so excited for the harvest. Basically no signs of deficiency whatsoever except for the occasional oddball leaf. Buds are shaping up nicely and getting close to maturity, currently around 80% milky so once I start seeing some amber pop up Iโ€™ll switch to flush mode for a week or so.

๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป Reminder : ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป So, I created the diary the 15th of september, I wrotte every previous informations on paper then on a word sheet. I reallized that I got everything to create a diary here, so I did it. I should maybe try to end this first grow without buying any fertilizer and keep going with my home made receips (taken from several sources and reading). I think I will do some fun experiments on a following diary. It is well known, dwarves don't run fast, so next batch will be 3 quick one from royal queen seeds, with smart pot and coco ideas i had. It will be fun an probably in 3-4 weeks (I plane to harvest my dwarves a little bit later around week 11, but I don't know, I have to check trichomes, they will give me the answer.)๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’ฉSo from week (8) we are in *LIVE* mode for this diary. Hello elves (you are the elves, you reading me). Smiles are allowed (this is unfair you smoke your plants so you have a strong adventage) while reading. Orcs are the pests and desease attacking the dwarves (the 3 plants)๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป ๐Ÿ‘‰ I've cut every branches, it was an amazing experience : My dwarves killed the orcs, they survived and escape from this AMAZING journey. They where really impossible to kill. They suffered from : Overwatering, over defoliation, nutrients burn, probably root rot, to much heat (more than 30 degree for some days), a too small pot... And they smell like : ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‡ a wounderfull smell. I did all the "noob" mistakes basically but I learned so much. I started to feed them with home made nutrients and ended to use biobizz really at the end. I don't know what was the best for those dwarves but they made it. I will update this diary with a video and will give in 1-2 weeks the weight dry, I am really curious about it, I left really no branches, they are like ready to be in a jar. So: ๐Ÿ‘‰ The famous 3/3 with amazing colors gave me : 38 gr. wet ๐Ÿ‘‰ The famous 2/3 gave me : 34 gr. wet ๐Ÿ‘‰ The famous 1/3 gave me : 30-31 gr. wet The harvest seems not amazing, I don't know how much weight I may loose by drying (I kept really only the heads). For a first grow, I am happy, because I simply made it. I know that it is now a growing experience, like those wounderfull amazing plants. And I learned a lot. Allready excited to launch a second harvest. A matter of time actually. It was fast, joyfull, stressfull, great to do it. SUMMARY : ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Why this diary name ? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Because when I descovered growdiaries.com 3-4 weeks before harvesting I was completly sure to fail and that my dwarves were gona die. ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Is it the first time you have a kind of relationship with dwarves or plants like this ? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Hell yeah... I am totally a casual smoker and I never did this in my life before. I have to say that I started to have like a real relationship with those 3 dwarves, they start to miss me ( I just cuted them like 2-3 hours ago). ๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿ˜ข ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Did you enjoy to do that ? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Well... It will be definitly hard to don't do it again. Hopefully when seeds arrived at my home, they where not alone, 3 quick one are waiting to have a funz experience with me. The trick what started to be a small investment turned into buying more and more stuff (ph and ec meter etc...) So I want to use them more ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Are you high right now ? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Absolutly not, I haven't smoke any weed for about 3-4 months maybe and I don't drink, I mean, I am naturally like this. ๐Ÿ˜• ๐Ÿ˜ฎ What about the elves ? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ‘‰ You mean the readers of this website who followed, liked, help me a lot with A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF GOOD ADVICES ? I love them โ™ฅ๏ธโ˜บ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ Thank to all the readers, growers, people taking care of this website and not giving any infos to the police, breeders for giving us the opportunity to do this, light crafters for giving us sun in a tent, tent builders, special potions crafters (who create amazing nutrients) specially those dedicated to the natural 100% products... I mean thank you to all elves. โ™ฅ๏ธ

Had to chop the Mexican airlines because it hermie hard, no doubt itโ€™s because of the stress I put it under when I accidentally snapped it lol, itโ€™s drying now will update it once itโ€™s finished! Blue gelato has hermieโ€™d, this whole grow has been a mess Iโ€™ve not given them the attention they need and half arsed all the plants. Going to leave the Runtz go for a bit longer because Iโ€™ve not seen any signs of it turning yet, finger crossed๐Ÿคž

26.1.25: I have had a mistake ๐Ÿ˜• i spilt some Fish Mix as I was experimenting with a syphon from some aquarium tubing I have. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the syphon out! Ugh ๐Ÿ˜ฃ However, it is fish emulsion and very thick consistency. Therefore, I was able to scrape it up with 2 of my business cards up off the counter. So added this extra into the next 2 ltr solution I mixed. All plants were watered with at least 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3. Containing the following nutrients;- โ™ก 3ml Seachem Seaweed โ™ก 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix โ™ก 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow โ™ก 3ml Biobizz Bloom โ™ก 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster โ™ก 2ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag โ™ก .25g Ecothrive Biosys. โ™ก 2.5g of Bicarbonate of Soda as PH UP. Unfortunately I have broken my PH pen too. Accidentally submerged it under water, then the readings went crazy. I'm leaving it to dry by standing it up but I'm most likely going to need a new one, which is extremely annoying ๐Ÿ˜‘ I'm going start implementing the Scrog net probably some point next week if I let the plants that are in flower to just grow up now, as I do believe that I stunted Watermelon ๐Ÿ‰ by using too strenuous LST. Hopefully the plants still are able to grow upwards at this stage during flower for all the Purple Punch P1, P2 and P3. We will soon see! 28.1.25: My PH pen has packed up ๐Ÿ˜ฃ I've got to wait to get another. It's super annoying ๐Ÿ˜‘ so I'm just judging by memory how to regulate it. Unfortunately, that's my only choice! I'm also out of the dechlorinator ๐Ÿ˜• things are not going very well this week so far ๐Ÿ˜… I guess we will have to make do, until I can get replenished. 29.1.25: I removed all the plants, hoovered, and disinfected the tent. There were several accidents when watering, causing some debris and splashes. I decided to just go ahead and get a few other things done. It's crazy how quickly things can become neglected! ๐Ÿ˜ฃ So I defoliated moderately on all plants except Gorilla Cookies seedling. I have absolutely dropped the ball on my lighting situation! My light was much further away than I thought! I turned it up to 100% and dropped it down to just under 2 feet away. After I reset the tent, I set up my scrog net. I removed 80% of all LST pegs. I am planning on letting the scrog net take over the training from here. I really want to minimise the risk of mould, so I decided to start using my dehumidifier. It has raised up to 73% RH this week, so it's necessary. Hopefully, I will be able to get my dechlorinator and PH pen soon! That's kind of essential to me. It's been a little bit of a stressful day in the garden, to be honest ๐Ÿ˜… 30.1.25: So I am expecting the arrival of my new PH pen today, as well as my new bottle of Ecothrive neutralise. It is supposed to measure the TDS and EC in addition to the standard TEMP and PH, which I had previously. Obviously, time will tell if it's any good or not. I realise, much too late now, that my lighting is very insufficient for this many plants. I need double the watts at least, and coverage is very poor. I remembered I had an old LED floor lamp, which was in a corner being unused. I decided to take the stand off, and Zip tied the pole onto the tent pole at the back left corner. I have no idea what the wattage is, and it's quite pathetic ๐Ÿ˜… but I mean, I might as well use it, being as I definitely cannot afford more lights! ๐Ÿ˜ฃ Next grow, I will probably only grow 2 plants, max 4, and just use larger 7-10 Gallon pots. Being as I ran out of dechlorinator, I only watered some plants properly because I only had enough to make 6 litres. When my pen arrives, I will get everything properly watered. 31.1.25: The leaves of several plants are showing signs of iron deficiency. This is likely due to my PH pen packing up earlier. I now have a new pen. Due to this, I decided to use my Seachem Prime, which I use for my aquariums. As I wanted to get them watered properly, and my Ecothrive Neutralise hasn't arrived yet. I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added .25g Ecothrive Biosys to the water. May give them a breather on the nutes and just use the Cal-Mag and Biosys. Being as I've just topped dressed with rich fertilisers, I'm sure that will be OK for the next several waterings. Bubble Kush
