The summer really affected my outcome, three weeks of near 40 degrees made most of my buds fluffy and deformed, then the dry room was left open so the humidity was at 30 percent.. 3 days and all my buds were completely dried out. After 4 weeks of curing the taste came back a little but still not the best Up to the next one ❤️

Week 6 update: What up Grow family. These testers are growing fast and strong. Where in week 6 now and the swelling and ripening of flowers are going amazing. Still feeding 500ml/16oz daily as I've found that's the sweet spot for 3gal fabric pots for these. I'd say these probably have about 2 weeks left until they'll be finished. All in all Happy Growing.

G.23: le piante sono in salute anche se la g.p. ha le foglie un po' basse, non noto carenze, ma penso che abbia bisogno semplicemente di più acqua (al giorno 21 ho dato 300 ml, al giorno 23 600 ml). Controllerò domani per vedere se migliora G.24: le piante hanno risposto bene all'innaffiatura e oggi i vasi erano di nuovo leggeri come ieri, perciò nuova innaffiatura da 500 ml per entrambe. G.27: come dalle foto ho messo un piccolo umidificatore a causa dell'eccessivo caldo (30% u.r.). Le piante crescono bene. Sto mantenendo le quantità di fert più basse rispetto alle volte precedenti e mi sta ripagando con un bel verde delle foglie. Questa settimana le piante hanno iniziato ad avere molta più sete e ad ogni giorno che ho pesato il vaso era sempre leggero. Continuate a seguirmi per nuovi aggiornamenti.

Hey guys! Here we are in Week 9, and honestly, nothing major to report. The plant’s doing fine — my main focus is still on pH stability. I feel like the coco is finally buffering around 5.9 – 6.0, which is exactly what I’ve been aiming for. I’m keeping a close eye on it. On the nutrient side, I’m sticking with the Athena base. I did add some Balance to the mix. Just to explain: I actually push the pH way higher than usual at first — up to about 7.4 — before adding the Athena nutrients. Once everything is mixed, it drops down to around 6.3, and then with just a drop or two of pH Down, I dial it back to 6.0–6.1. Right now, in the saucer I’m reading about 5.9–6.1, and the reservoir is showing about the same. So it looks like the buffer is finally kicking in. Structurally, I topped the plant and now I’ve got four nice apexes that I’ll train slowly over the next weeks. After the defoliation, I’m letting her recover and put some energy back into growth. Next week, I might start adding a little Rhino Skin (Advanced Nutrients) to help strengthen the stems and give her a more solid structure. But no rush — we’ll see how she goes. For now, EC is steady around 1.4–1.5, which is enough. I’ll bump it up later as needed. That’s it for this week — keeping the pH steady, letting her recover from topping, and just being patient. Catch you next week — peace!

Hi and welcome to a new grow :) Unfortunately I have to start over because of a malfunction I had with the automation of the heater. I basically cooked my plants. But now we‘re back with three new Ladys, wich I hope will turn out as beautiful as in the picture. I planted four, just in case one of them doen‘t make it. I will choose the 3 faster ones of course. The medium I use is mixed with soilles media (peat ,vermiculite) with additives. It‘s basically sythetic but it still has microbes. The nutriensolution is also mixed syntheticaly. I‘m not going to explain everything right now but at this stage i‘m feeding the plant low amounts of the Veg formular that was recomended in different studies. The EC is about 1350. PH of the Media and the Water is about 5.8. I also have a CO2 bag but unfortunately it was cooked by my heater 😬let‘s hope the funghi survived. Since oxigen is very important for the roots I am pumping Air throught the watercontainer. It helps keeping it clean as well. I do have Hidrogen Peroxide as well, but i‘m not sure if i should use it for the extra oxigen. If any of you have experience with it feel free to comment! I will keep you updated on the plantgroth over the week but for now everything is setup. Have a nice Weekend 🌱 Update: The first three girls are coming out pretty fast. InicuallyI though the 4th seedling didn‘t make it but she came out a day later. that was part of the planing so we’ll see. The first three are roughly the same age too wich is awesome. Right now i‘m giving them around 200 ppfd/24h. The Temperature and humidity are stable at 26°C and 90% humidity (as in picture) now it‘s lowered to 75% wich means the VPD is roughly 8,5. Let‘s hope I don‘t cook them this time 🙏 Oh and the CO2 bag is alive. Update: I‘m experimenting with VPD and I figured out, that the leaf experiences a different VPD due to cooling of the leaf while water is transpiring. So with LEDs the leaves don‘t warm up from the missing infra red but luckily my Light gets pretty warm so i put it up hight and brighten it to 40%. The seedlings stopped growing at a Lux of 8000 so i put them on 13000 with a leaf VPD of 0,6. I used a VPD calculater and have the following environment: 27,5°C and 60% Humidity. The leafs are ≈24 degrees (if i measured correctly) and the caculator spits out 0,6-0,8 wich would be ideal. Let‘s see how they grow since they are seedlings i‘m not sure if this stresses them. If you have any comment, please feel free to wright is down so i can adjust if necessary.

Nothing exciting for day 22. Added sensizym and cal-mag xtra after changing out the water (RO). No preflowers, but starting to smell more than just green. Day 23. Removed some of the fan leaves. Day 27, thinned out the larger one, still no preflowers

I have been using LST in the form of a fan on medium speed to try and strengthen the main stalk of the plant as well as planter rotation to strengthen the main stalk for tie down LST. So far I've been impressed with the rate of growth and the overall experiment. For what it's worth, the growth wth is very very similar to a hydroponics growth. I'm sure as the experiment continues I'll notice some big differences. It does appear to have either a minor potassium deficiency or a little too much nitrogen. Will monitor and update as needed. The above signs may have been trying to indicate the main stalk was weakening from too much weight from vertical grow rate. This would ultimately lead to a fractured stalk. Is this what happened or is it a fungus or disease problem? Plant C sprouted within 48hrs and will be 6 days behind Plant A. End goal of harvest is still 360g from the two plants combined. Both plants are looking very happy regardless of the toxicity or deficiency. Strong strain nonetheless.

Ending week 1 today! I am satisfied with how the girls are growing. Quick summary by days: note: amount of water is on ALL plants, not just 1 13/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L) 14/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L) 15/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,3L) 16/9 Since I didn't water my soil when I was planting the seeds, I grabbed some more soil, put it on top just to help with stretching, and then I decided to do a full watering just to get the soil wet. I grabbed my pressure pump, put in 1,5L of 6.5PH water, voodoo juice + piranha 2ml/L and watered all 9 of them with 1.5L (misting with the pressure pump - I think I will continue to do the waterings like this because it's so easy!) 17/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L) I've seen a fungus gnat, so I put up more yellow sticky traps. 18/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L) 19/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L) Caught 4 fungus gnats for now, I hope the bastards didn't lay their eggs. Keeping the vents on. Temperature this weeks was 24-27, moisture 50-70, average 60. Mimosa #2 a bit yellowish, keeping an eye on her, hope it's nothing serious. Everything else is fine, going into week 2! I still won't give them any NPK, just voodoo + piranha + b52 in week 2. Maybe i put carboload or bud candy just to feed the bacteria and the fungus in piranha and voodoo juice, any thoughts on that? I think I will introduce Micro+Grow+Bloom 0,5ml/L in the third week. Also, there are some white spots on the leaves. I think it could be chlorine? Im watering with tap water, letting it sit for around 12 hours before adjusting PH and watering. Maybe I will let it sit for more this week. See ya in 7 days, if there aren't any more problems meantime haha

🌱 Week 2 Report: The Journey Evolves 🌱 Grow Fam, the adventure is in full swing! 🌟 The Gorilla Melon from Fast Buds is out and shining its light, and the Papaya Zoap has made its debut in the Cannakan, bringing with it a story that adds even more depth to this incredible run. When the universe speaks, we listen. 🍈✨ I didn’t plan on popping Papaya Zoap from Sweet Seeds just yet, but sometimes things just have a way of aligning. After a few other seeds didn’t germinate, I felt an inner pull toward this special strain. As it turns out, the universe had something beautiful in mind! Just days later, my brother @daggadna also began germinating the same genetics—gifted to us during Spannabis. Was it a coincidence? I don’t think so. 🌱 This is more than just a grow now—it’s a journey with purpose, guided by synchronicity and connection. I can already feel the magic building up with this one, and I can’t wait to see where this road takes us! Now, onto the Papaya Zoap… something tells me this plant is going to take us on a ride we didn’t expect but absolutely needed. 💚 Let’s make something incredible, Brother Dagga—this one’s going to be legendary. Gear Updates: All Systems Go 🚀 This week, everything’s dialed in perfectly with the TrolMaster system. Shout out to the incredible DSH-2U Humidity Station! 🌬️ This tool is giving me precision control over the RH (relative humidity) ranges in the room, keeping the environment just right for my babies. Having that accurate readout and control allows me to maintain optimal levels for each stage of growth. It’s like magic—you plug it in, set the desired ranges, and let it do its thing! 🌡️ By monitoring and adjusting humidity levels on-the-fly through the TrolMaster app, I can ensure the environment remains stable, and that means happier plants and healthier growth! No more guessing games. From anywhere—whether I’m working in the garden or chilling out—I can track and tweak it all. Heck, I could be on the toilet and still have complete control over my room! 😂 The AMP-3 Precision Meter has been running 24/7 in my water solution, giving me real-time updates so I can make any corrections when needed, right from my phone. This tech has taken my grow to another level. ✨ Nutrition Update: Keeping It Balanced 🍃 As for feeding, we’re sticking with the basics to give the plants what they need, without overloading. Right now, I’m running: • Regulator: 0.15ml/l • Startbooster: 0.25ml/l For now, I feel like this is the sweet spot—just enough to encourage root development and early growth without overloading them. I’ll be adjusting the feed as we go deeper into the grow, keeping an eye on how they respond. You know me, always tweaking and improving along the way! Shoutouts & Gratitude 🙌💚 Huge love to everyone following along—whether you’re here on Grow Diaries, over on YouTube, or on IG. Your support keeps this journey alive, and I am so grateful for every comment, like, and message! Special shoutout to my sponsors for fueling this project: • 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 More to come soon, and you won’t want to miss it! 📺 I’m also documenting everything on my YouTube channel, and I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes content on IG, so hit that subscribe button and follow along. Let’s grow together, fam! Growers Love to All 💚 The love and support from the grow community is something I never take for granted. This journey wouldn’t be the same without all of you! I’m so honored to be part of this amazing community, and I can’t wait to share more updates and insights along the way. Remember, this isn’t just about growing plants—it’s about growing together. 🌱 Until next time, stay positive, stay inspired, and keep pushing forward! This week’s shoutout is dedicated to the synchronicity of life, my growing community, and of course, Papaya Zoap and Gorilla Melon. Let’s see what magic we can create together! #HighFrequency #PositiveVibesOnly #PapayaZoap #GorillaMelon #TrolMaster #InBalanceWithNature #GrowLife #AptusTruePlantScience #GrowersLove

Hey everyone ☺️. It gets more beautiful from week to week 😍👍. I have them all this week Sprayed again properly with neem oil in the veggie phase ☺️. There have been no trips for 2 weeks, but prevention is better 😀. Because of the neem oil, the plants look very dark and shiny, which I really like when they shimmer like that 😝. I didn't do any training these days, that will be done again the next few days 👌. it was watered twice this week with around 0.6 l per plant. The Ph / Ec measuring device was also recalibrated. Otherwise there is nothing to report for this week and we'll see you again with the next update ☺️👍. I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas 😊. Stay healthy and let it grow 🍀 You can buy this Strain at https://www.barneysfarm.com/blue-cheese-34 Type: Blue Cheese ☝️🏼 Genetics: Blueberry X Original Cheese 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

All the Pheno’s are green and healthy, Indoors was overwatered or the substrate got too cold. I started seeing what looked like Iron lock out(pale yellow/whitish color on the new growth’s basal leaflet). I reduced the frequency of the added Coconut water powder and Aloe Vera powder and allowed the substrate to heat up to above 72 degrees Fahrenheit(was 68F) and now the new growth is turning a vibrant green again. #1 and #4 are my favorite out of the outdoor and indoor sisters. The indoor plants started showing sex on April 18th 2022, still waiting on outdoors to show sex.
