Yo growmies! While all of Berlin was getting high at Mary Jane 2024, I paid my ladies a visit: Remember last week's manic defoliation? Yeah, let's just say I went a little Edward Scissorhands on the Pineapple Poison. It's because last year's monstrous Gelato that took two days to harvest (my arms were killing me!). This year's mission: big, juicy colas and a speedy harvest (last year it took us 2 days!). Well, the good news is, the Pineapple Poison is a tough cookie (or should I say, pineapple?). She bounced back like a champ! She's still on the short and bushy side, so I'm giving her a break from the shears this week. Just a few tiny shoots close to the main stem got evicted to keep those main colas in the spotlight. Speaking of spotlights, I also made a trippy video to test visuals for the contest. Let me know what you think of the hazy, dream-like vibe. Is it artsy or just accidentally blurry? You be the judge! Oh, and I discovered a couple of resident snails on the Pineapple Poison. Thankfully, these little guys seem to be no harm. We'll call them our "ganja garden guardians". In fact, I noticed with every outdoor grow that Cannabis plants create a tiny ecosystem for all kinds creepers and crawlers who like to soak up the flower fumes and chill out in the leafy shade, Stay tuned, growmies! Next week, we'll see if the Pineapple Poison keeps on churning out those juicy colas. And who knows, maybe I'll find a way to channel my inner pruning master without turning this into a harvest marathon again! High fives all around!

Yay... NorCal Cannabis Cup today & tomorrow up in Santa Rosa. Gonna load my bud buddy in the car and head up there this afternoon for the Phil Lesh show. One day is enough. 😎 It's only the 2nd ever licensed cannabis consumption event in California ... so come be part of history if you live anywhere in northern California. ------ The Durban girls are doing quite nicely. Leaving them out in the sun for 30 minutes today to do a little acclimating before I head up north. It's HOT today by recent standards but the wind is light. Three of the 5 gallon girls will be moved outside permanently in about a week. The 3 gallon container and the (former) runt in a 5 gallon pot will grow inside this summer.... and we'll probably flip the lights to flowering as soon as everybody gets moved outdoors. ------ For heights this week we have the 5 gallon girls are two at 19", and one at 18.5". The 3 gallon girl is at 15", and the former runt is up to 9". Fed all the girls today because I won't be home early from the show tonight to feed them then. ------ Updated to add some photos from the Cannabis Cup in Santa Rosa. It was a LOT harder to consume alcohol at this event than ANY form of cannabis. Big fun.

I treated the plant with a long series of fertilizers and various boosters, I will list them all in the last week, now I have been running water for 12 hours a day for about 10 days .. I think a final wash does not exist better than this.

Now the ROYAL GORILLA in all orange pipe cleaners! This plant is a pain in the ass lol. The inner growth and spacing is insanely close!!! so many shoots all tightly together. I have tied down anything I can. Unsure how it will work in budding next week

Week 4 Veg Report - TrolMaster Chronicles 🌱 What a week it’s been in the garden! We finally transplanted the Papaya Zoap into its final Autopot, and let me tell you, this plant is something special. Though her roots weren’t quite where I wanted them to be yet, the move was needed to help her catch up with the rest of the crew. She’s already looking fantastic in her new home, and I have no doubt she’s about to explode with growth in the coming days. Sometimes, you just have to trust the process, and I’m feeling like this is one of those moments. It’s almost as if the room itself is taking on a life of its own. 🌿 In fact, I’m starting to believe that what we’re building here is something greater than ourselves—there’s this energy in the room, a feeling of everything coming together perfectly. I can’t wait to see how this journey unfolds! Dialing in the VPD with TrolMaster’s Tech Now, let’s talk VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) and how I’ve been keeping everything in check with the Tend-X and the incredible (DSH-2U) Humidity Station. VPD is crucial to plant health—it’s all about finding that perfect balance between humidity and temperature to optimize transpiration and nutrient uptake. The (DSH-2U) Humidity Station, connected directly to my humidifier, has been an absolute game-changer in this regard. With its real-time data and automation, it allows me to monitor and adjust the RH with pinpoint accuracy. Simple yet brilliant, the (DSH-2U) Humidity Station is keeping my room at the sweet spot I need. Whether I’m tweaking the settings from my phone while I’m out and about or just fine-tuning things while relaxing at home, this machine does it all. It’s like having an extra pair of hands in the grow room—and when you’re managing something as complex as VPD, that’s invaluable! And yes, the TM+ Pro App—let’s not forget how awesome it is. I’m adjusting my grow room from the couch, the car, or even the bathroom 😜. I’ve said it before, but this app is making growing easier than ever. Feeding the Girls: The Perfect Blend 🌱 We’ve upped the game by adding CaMg-Boost at 0.25 ml/L to the feeding schedule. Along with the 1 ml/L of the all-in-one liquid, this brings the TDS up to 320 ppm, with a pH of 5.99 and solution temperature of 24.8°C. In the soil, readings are around 415 ppm, with temperatures hovering around 25°C The plants are absolutely thriving, and I can already see the difference this new feed is making. I can’t help but have a bit of fun with this process—it feels like I’m spoiling them with the best of the best. And they’re rewarding me with beautiful growth and vibrant green color. You know how it is, with the right care and attention, these plants are truly becoming a masterpiece in the making. 🌱 Shoutouts 💚 Big shoutout to TrolMaster and ThinkGrow LED for the phenomenal gear that’s making this grow smoother than ever. Also, massive thanks to Aptus Holland for their top-notch nutrition, and of course, to the community here on GrowDiaries—you guys keep the energy alive! 🌱 Last but definitely not least, shoutout to all the seed banks supporting this journey. You’ve been a huge part of this process, and I couldn’t do it without you! Remember, for exclusive behind-the-scenes content and updates in real time, head over to my Instagram and YouTube channels @DogDoctorOfficial. We’ve got tons of epic content lined up, and you won’t want to miss it! P.S. Let’s talk about the new Model One LED Bars—these beauties are not only powerful but super efficient. I’ve been able to dim them down, save on electricity costs, and still maintain an incredible PAR and spectrum. It’s all about fine-tuning the balance of power and performance, and these lights make it easy to get the best results while being eco-friendly. Whether you’re running them full throttle or dialing it back, you’re still getting optimal growth conditions for your plants. That’s the kind of innovation that takes your grow to the next level. 💡 Growers Love to all 🌿💚

This is a great grow! Plants are doing really really well, they are starting preflower, Nutrients are FOOP and myco. So I've been adding bloom 1 and bloom 2 to the mix JUST FOR THIS WEEK before I switch to only BLOOM 1 and BLOOM 2 and Sweetener, also increasing the amount of water given and frequency as well. Will add more as we go but those are the major changes as of now! Thanks gang! Let's keep it growing Growmies!!!

The plants continue to develop more and more flower clusters all over the main and side branches, its FANTASTIC to see. 😍 The Shiva Skunk is still a little bit taller (47 cm) than the Serious Kush (42 cm), but the Kush plants have denser flower clusters. Trichome production is now in full swing under the Q6W-Gen.2 LED-lamps, which are still dimmed to 100% (=3 green lights on the dimmer). The plants SMELL DELICIOUS and have a STRONG AROMA now! The Shiva Skunk has a very musky and sweet aroma now with hints of citrus in it, while the Serious Kush smells 'dank', it has an extraordinary strong and gassy smell which is intoxicating!

I’m week behind due to work a lot these days but here’s my girl on day 39 of flower. Starting to fill out more nicely now. Did some minor LST and defoliating as well to open up the canopy a bit. Patiently counting the days down till harvest. A little over 3 weeks left for this girl. One more feeding with nutrients and then every feeding afterwards will be plain water. Till next update ✌️🏾

switched out my 600w mh for my 6oow hps on day 32 also had to place a stake in her because she grew to fast for her own good i really have just been here to feed her the genetics are great

-

We had a very rainy week, which increased the average humidity to 76%. Consequently, I didn't water her that much. The plant is already 19 cm tall and seems to be growing nicely so far :)

It was amazing this week!!! Today my girls finally arrived!!!! ROYAL DWARF was put direct in the soil. 1x Critical was put in micro cup w/peat moss. Shogun, Triple G & PurpleQueen👑 in H2O . Now we wait 😈

this is my winter stash. Two days in and i got sprouts.

Hi people and welcome to my grow diary, I have grown before a few times and have extensive knowledge in growing cannabis, I have been limited on space before and not being able to explore my potential to its fullest, I also tried hydro with not the best results you live you learn you come back better, this time around I have good space good tent size and it has all been set up to my specification, I am doing real Queen seeds Royal Highness which is a daytime smoke with high CBD which is what I'm looking for I have been smoking cannabis now for over 18 years now and love it, I like to share with other growers and other like-minded small growers and professionals out there in the cannabis cultivation industry, like others I am trying to perfect my craft and this time I will do just that, I germinated 10 feminized Royal Highness seeds with 100% success rate the genetics from royal Queen seeds are on point!, below I will explain the method I used and how I got such a good germination rate, I soak my seeds in water boiled first then cooled down to room temperature then left them in a cupboard for 24-hours, when I came back I tap the seeds they all sunk to the bottom of the glass, I then use the same water from the glass the seeds are within to wet a couple of pieces of kitchen roll and let the excess drain off, I then move the seeds to the kitchen paper giving them space between each seed I then put them into a heated propagator and left them for another 12 to 24 hours and they had all sprouted a tap root, While I was waiting for the seeds to Germinate I prepared 10 pots of natural coco mixed with perlite, I ran through just plain tap water a few times through each spot it was running clear I left them on the windowsill overnight to come up to room temperature I then planted the seeds into these pots the next day, 24-hours later and I had to carefully go digging just a small bit and I found and around eight of my colydons coming up through the coco I left these exposed to my viper spectra 600 watt LED but still in the propagator with the lid on, few more hours and they should be standing straight up and kicking. The light is just under 2 ft from the propagator, I will update as my grow progressive please pull up a chair and join me if you wish it will be a pleasure to have you along on the journey, I appreciate every single person who reads if you want to know more I will answer questions and also have a bit of banter thank you for looking please enjoy peace and blessings to UPDATE Friday 15th of November 2019............................................... Hello guys this is an update I have added an update to the comments but i will move that here soon also, so everything is together nice and neat, Today marks the end of week one from popping the seeds including germination time, All plants are growing their second set of true leaves so not long now until they make it out the seedling stage, hoorayyyyyy, Temps are perfect at 26c humidity up around the 60s in tent but I have them in the humidity dome so will be a lot higher in and around high 80s they are loving it, I have now changed out my Mars hydro 400w for my viper Spectra 600w LED and they're loving that also, I have now started to feed with plagron terra grow, Snoop Dogg radical roots and I am continuing to use calmag, as I had some of this left I'm only going to use this until these parts have been rooted once I transplant I will start to use the canna line, I will use my one question to ask you lovely guys and girls what are the best results in the dense buds you have had from nutrients in Coco, I'll put that up after this update I will take some more photos today and I will upload them and that will be the last of week 1 and I'm talking day one was when I put the seeds into the cup of water and within 7-days I'm on my second to set of leaves that it's not bad going happy with that, I don't want no mistakes on this group I want absolute perfection to maximize yields and maximize the quality and density of the bud, my skills and knowledge and the time I've spent learning and perfecting my craft is up to scratch now and I know I can do a successful crop without any problems, And we will achieve that guys positivity is the key To success i hope you are all enjoying my grow I update regularly with pictures every other day killing my data but it's ok I love you guys, peace love and blessings happy growing.
