🌱 Day 57 - Start of the Second-to-Last Flowering Week 🌱 Hello, Grow Friends! Today marks the start of the second-to-last flowering week—Week 9 overall, and Week 5 of flowering. 🌿 I’m getting more and more excited as my first grow nears its end. As I approach harvest, I’ve decided, based on my research, to stop feeding nutrients and stick to just pH-adjusted water for the final two weeks. šŸ’§āš–ļø Watering Routine: I’ll keep the same watering schedule—1 liter every two days, which is about 10% of the pot volume. šŸŒ±šŸ’§ This should be enough to flush out the remaining nutrients, ensuring a clean finish for the plant. Temperature & Humidity: The temperature remains stable between 19-23°C, which I believe is ideal for this stage of the grow. šŸŒ”ļøšŸ‚ No more high temperatures to worry about! The humidity is fluctuating between 45-58%, and I’m keeping a close eye on it to stay below 60%. šŸ’§šŸ” Everything seems on track for now. 🌿 Plant Health & Growth: The plant still looks very healthy overall. šŸŒ±šŸ’Ŗ However, I’ve noticed that in the past three days, there haven’t been any visible changes in the size of the buds. šŸ¤” It could just be that I’m not seeing the growth clearly, but the only noticeable change is the daily opening of new flower calyxes. 🌸 Harvest Preparation: I’m already getting my equipment ready for drying after harvest. šŸ› ļø Once it’s time to cut, I’ll be hanging the plant to dry for the first 10 days. šŸŒæāœ‚ļø I want to make sure everything is set for a smooth drying process. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, daily photos of the plant will be posted! šŸ“øšŸŒ±

Some of the plants showing more signs of yellowing from watering issues and ph issues. Luckily I was able to get a nice strong batch of Boogie Brew compost tea made and gave them all a nice soak and bath with it. Within two days all but one of the plants bounced back. Now that the plants are able to fend for themselves a little better was a good opportunity to try to harden them off the ones going outside to the elements outside. I did so by placing on a shaded part of my deck for a few hours. I was also able to get my tent inside ready and they were moved from the small cool grows tent to my 4x8 tent with my big lights. I adjusted the light to be around 500 PPFD at canopy.

This plant has recovered from nutrient deficiency and is growing great. Doing lst everyday and plant is responding great. This is going to be a big girl. Still no signs of flower. The other NL from growers choice I grew took forever to flower also. Monday update - did a little defoliation. Looks a little thin. Should get fuller in a few days

Looks like this is the least week of Veg before she flips into flowering, a few hairs gave me the idea and @SCGrow's page confirmed it.

Very difficult for me to grow. So much foliage. This plant bushes out like crazy. She was also a real pain in the ass to harvest. You should strip her of every god damn leaf except for the top nodes right before flower or she will fill out to the point of cover up all the bud. I had to throw out a bunch of under developed flower because it was so bushy..

Day 71 - BEAST! a. her size is so large, and the buds are def "Big Bud"! there is resin everywhere, very fruity like pineapple express b. will be topping off the DWC all week with 6.0 water.. gradually diluting the ripening formula, 1300ppm right now, end of week should be at 400ppm, then flush week c. light schedule is now 14 hours on, 10 hours off. this allow the buds to mature properly and become potent, next week probably 12/12. d. still drinking 6 litres of water a day Day 72 - fat buds a. her buds keep swelling outward, the calxes are exploding, some stigmas are turning brown, about 5% b. these buds are very hard, cant understand how dense these are! c. really happy with this strain! Day 73 - 10th day of ripening a. the pistils are slowly becoming brown, maybe 7% of the plant has matured b. the smell is unreal, VERY fruity and gassy c. ppms have been controlled at 1300ppm with plain water diluting the pool Day 74 - flush beginning a. pumped out 10L from the DWC, and added 10L of 6.0 water, 650ppm b. the flowers are smelling very strong c. the buds are becoming ripe, the stigmas are turning colors Day 75 - pistils 30% orange/red/brown a. set lighting intensity to 50%, simulating the sun moving farther away from the plant like in fall b. drinking 5-6L a day still c. the buds are very hard, thick and oily, the resin on my hands smells very good Day 76 - maturing great a. cutting down the temperatures, and humidity and lessening the intensity of the light always causes nice dense matuation b. DWC running de-chlorinated tap water, 140 ppm c. next week is all flush week, and turning to 12/12 d. she is still drinking 5-6 litres of water a day! e. the buds are maturing very nicely, the smell is INTENSE! Day 77 - mature buds a. the buds are maturing, calyxes are swelling, and the buds are getting heavier b. about 50% orange stigmas, trichomes there are still some clears left, no amber visible yet c.

So I left for a week and had a trusted friend take over watering duties. A few things of note: I was concerned over overheating the grow so I turned the power down to 75% and ran the light up another 6 inches. This had the unfortunate effect of less airflow and cooler temps so I got powdery mildew that I would be fighting for the remainder of the grow. That aside, the plants looked way more mature when I returned home, with nice trichome development and density.

Day 17 sorry for the late update today is Wednesday and as you can see she has come along quite nicely since the previous week leaves are fat which is a good sign and there's no sign of deficiency or any pests

Seeing burned tips makes me feed it differently, 2 days with fulls set of nutrients, 2 days with Cannazym only. I pruned them a bit more, not sure if it was a good idea but those little branches didn't develop a lot during this time. On day 4 of the week, after HSO's comment on a weekly report, I've measured runoff and it was insane! 3k-5k ppm Flushed them all so that runoff was around 800 ppm, and watered them with Cannazym only (PH around 6.1, EC 440 ppm). Also moved them around a bit Most likely the reason for conductivity going so high was that I removed the pots from platforms at some point and old runoff was probably soaking in.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 30/11/2019 - Struggling with high humidity, change led strip color from red,green,blue to red and green. 1/12/2019 - Checked and adjusted the light distance. 2/12/2019 - Pot feels light and dry, gave her 1,5l PH 6.3 with a 1/4 of recommended Biobizz nuts, notice almost no run off. 3/12/2019 - Finally her first pistil appeared on the main stem I was starting to get worried.

Week 3: TrolMaster Chronicles – Transplanting, Growing Strong, and Thriving in PRO-MIX HP 🌱✨ Hey Grow Fam! Another exciting week has flown by in the grow room, and I’m thrilled with the progress! We kicked off Week 3 with our first set of transplants. The Gorilla Melon was transplanted at the end of the week, while the Papaya Zoap is still patiently waiting for its turn to shine. Each plant that’s been transplanted is now comfortably settled in 15-liter Autopots, filled with PRO-MIX HP BIOFUNGICIDE + MYCORRHIZAE, and wow, I’m loving this mix! 🌱 Why PRO-MIX HP is a Game-Changer For those of you unfamiliar with PRO-MIX HP, let’s take a closer look. This soil provides superior drainage and aeration, thanks to its high porosity. The addition of fibrous peat moss and coarse perlite creates an ideal environment for water flexibility. It’s been perfect for the girls as they transition into their final homes. Plus, the biofungicide and mycorrhizae are doing wonders for root development, giving them all the support they need for vigorous growth. The plants are showing off a beautiful, vibrant green, each with its own unique characteristics—no two plants are the same, and I love that! šŸŒ”ļø Environment Update: Temps, RH, and More Let’s talk about the conditions the girls are thriving in! We’re sitting at: • Temperature: 26.7°C • Relative Humidity: 62.9% • VPD: 1.30 (I know it’s a bit high, but they’re handling it like champs) • CO2: 800 ppm • pH: 6.18 • TDS: 215 ppm • Solution Temperature: 23.2°C To make things even more efficient, I’ve adjusted the light height, keeping the PPFD around 360 to 400 to save on energy. These beauties are still soaking in the light perfectly, and I couldn’t be happier with how they’re responding. šŸ’§ Watering and Feeding At this stage, the plants are thriving with just enough nutrients to keep them happy. I’ve kept things simple with a balanced solution, ensuring everything stays within the perfect range. The PRO-MIX HP, with its mycorrhizal fungi, is really helping with nutrient uptake and boosting overall health. It’s amazing to see how quickly they’ve adapted! 🌟 Transplants Complete – Progress Feels Incredible! I’m super excited with how everything is shaping up! Most of the transplants went smoothly, and the growth we’re seeing is just amazing. The Papaya Zoap is still waiting for its final move, but it’s growing strong, getting ready for the next step. It’s an honor to work with these genetics—they’re each unique, yet all thriving in their own way. šŸŒ±šŸ’š šŸŒ Shoutouts and What’s Coming Next I couldn’t do this without the support of my amazing sponsors and all of you, Grow Fam! A huge shoutout to TrolMaster and Aptus Holland for their top-notch gear and nutrients, and of course, to all my followers—whether you’ve been here from the start or are new to the journey, thank you for the love and support! šŸ’ššŸ™ Don’t forget to check out my Instagram and YouTube, where the Seed to Harvest Series just kicked off! I’m going deep into all the gear, techniques, and day-to-day grow updates you see here. Exclusive content and more are waiting for you on those platforms, so come by and join the fun! Growers Love to everyone, and here’s to another epic week of growth! šŸ’ššŸŒ± Let’s keep pushing the limits and making magic happen. • Nutrition: @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_es @aptusbrasil @aptus_thailand @aptus_portugal @aptususa_official @aptusplanttechnz @aptusplanttechaus • Controls: @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro • Soil: @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis @promixmitch P.S. Let’s talk about these new Model One LED bars I’m running. šŸŒæšŸ’” They’re not just any lights—these are full-spectrum beasts designed to give my plants exactly what they need at every stage of growth. The real magic, though? The dimming feature. With just a quick adjustment, I can dial down the intensity without sacrificing the quality of the light. This means I’m saving on energy costs while still delivering top-tier PAR and maintaining a balanced spectrum. It’s not just about blasting plants with light; it’s about giving them the right light at the right time. By fine-tuning the PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density), I’m hitting that sweet spot where the plants thrive, and I don’t have to run the LEDs at full power. So, while I save a bit on electricity, my plants still get the perfect environment to reach their full potential. 🌱✨ This level of control lets me optimize the growth, and trust me, my plants are loving it—just another reason I’m thrilled with the Model One setup. šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸ’š Growers Love everyone šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸ’š

This was my 1st photoperiod grow on growdiaries and I'm glad I tried these Fast flowering photoperiods for it. Big thanks to Heather and the Fastbuds team. I haven't managed to try the Tropicana Cookies auto yet so this photoperiod fast version was definitely a new adventure. She grew more squat and bushier then i was expecting and her shape really did remind me of pineapple express. To be honest she was great to grow. Because this grow was going so good I decided to switch back to photoperiods for the next few grows i just wish i had left her in veg for 1 more week. Harvest GDG16 Wedding cheesecake FF=35g+20g larf Tropicana Cookies FF=42g+10g larf Gorilla Cookies FF=59g+5g larf Total weight, decent buds=136g Total weight larf=35g Light power Total= 200.43Kw 18hrs for 28 days = 504hrs 12hrs for 67 days = 804hrs Total hours for lights= 1308hrs 200.43÷1308=0.153Kw/hr average. Average 153w/hr Total g/W=0.89g/W Power used for grow=508.78Kw @0.30p =£152.63 Each gram cost £1.12 (not including larf). The buds have been curing for nearly 2 weeks so I haven't had a sample yet. There will be more pictures added once I try the buds and write up a smoke review but for now I'll just leave a video of the grow. Thanks to all who have viewed my diaries and a big thanks to all that posted likes and comments, it's much appreciated.

2/26/24. So I flipped these girls 3 days ago. Not sure what’s going on with them? They look like they have little buds starting or something..and they kinda looked like that before I flipped them. I think that’s maybe not normal? I’ve looked at lots of diaries and haven’t noticed that until a couple weeks in. I’m hoping all is okay. The tops all seem very light in color as well, compared to the rest of the plant. Also getting a bit of what appears to be some sorta burn on the tips and some light coloring in between leaf veins-which by looking at deficiencies is similar to magnesium def. So kinda wondering what to do. Slight tip burn and deficiencies? Hmm could be lighting issue maybe. Going to keep an eye on it. Gave transition feeding. Seems early for any smells from what I’ve researched.. but yeah.. there’s a slight smell coming from the tent 😳

Die Blätter haben durch die Blattläuse gut gelitten. Jedoch wachsen die Blüten gut weiter und sehen auch sehr schön aus und die neuen kleinen Blätter haben wieder ein sattes Grün. Die Blattläuse waren weg, danach wieder da weil sie wohl doch nicht ganz weg waren. Florfliegenlarven sind morgen da. Ab jetzt noch ca. 5 Wochen zur Ernte.
