My Alien was not a tall girl. but she didn't care. She did her own thing her own way. Looks like her way might have been a pretty good way, my scissors were gunked up almost immediately 😃 And I must say that she was an easy one to trim, took care of it myself in less than an hour. I'm looking forward to this one, smells kinda spicy almost 👽 SMOKE REVIEW This is some tasty stony stuff! The yield was small, hey that happens, but the important part is this is some very nice smoke! Smoothest I've had in quite some time, even with minimal cure time. Good stuff 😎

This week the nice flowering continues. I bought a new light in China, Samsung LM301H 240W so I added it into my grow tent. The weak plant is probably destroyed and the yield will be very small.

this week was a lil challenging, had to get out of LST due to the fact that I broke a branch and that just tripped me off and I took off all my ties , apart from that i started giving her bloom products because I noticed a few hairs. I started applying tiresias mist to one of my branches so I can get pollen sacks to produce my own fem seeds, as I plan on crossing my fortune cookies autoflower with my ak48 autoflower and creating a new strain called "DRAKO" AUTOFLOWER well till next update . O.G. Bang Bang !! out.....

There was a very high heat wave in my country! For the past week we had 40 ª Celsius during day time and 30ª during night time. I lowered the led potency to minimal settings and it workerd really good. The strais are the same and it is really easy to see the differences between them.

Bien hallados los que llegaron a este seguimiento, comenzamos durante esta semana como se venia advirtiendo en el post pasado nos afectaría una sobre dosificación por parte del bio-vega aplicado la semana 4, una de las plantas mas afectadas es la Critical Mass CBD quien fuera la primera en demostrar quemaduras en sus puntas, posterior a ella la siguiente mas afecta es la Forum Cookies x OG Badazz que a diferencia de la Critical presenta menos quemaduras, la O.M.G y Brain Cake al ser alimentadas con otra dosificación no demostraron quemaduras. El otro punto importante es una deficiencia de calcio y magnesio, que e ido detectando durante la semana 4 y comienzos de la semana 5, para corregir dicha carencia se comenzó a dosificar con 0,8 ml de calmag de atami, lo que se ira administrando de manera constante en los riegos debido a que estamos trabajando con agua des-mineralizada, por lo tanto es necesario agregar este suplemento. Probablemente la próxima semana, volvamos a abonar con bio-vega solo a la O.M.G y Brain Cake, con el fin de eliminar la sobre dosificación de la Forum y Critical quienes solo se les seguirá suministrando agua, rhizotonic y calmag con bajas dosis. Que opinan de la estrategia que estoy tomando?, comenten y compartamos. Saludos. 😬 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Well found those who came to this follow-up, we started this week as it had been warned in the last post, an overdose by the bio-vega applied in week 4 would affect us, one of the most affected plants is Critical Mass CBD whoever it was. the first to show burns on its tips, after it the next most affected is the Forum Cookies x OG Badazz which, unlike the Critical, presents less burns, the O.M.G and Brain Cake when fed with another dosage did not show burns. The other important point is a calcium and magnesium deficiency, which was detected during week 4 and at the beginning of week 5, to correct said deficiency, the dose was started with 0.8 ml of atami calmag, which will be administered constantly in the irrigations because we are working with demineralized water, therefore it is necessary to add this supplement. Probably next week, we will fertilize with bio-vega only the O.M.G and Brain Cake, in order to eliminate the overdose of Forum and Critical who will only continue to be supplied with water, rhizotonic and calmag with low doses. What do you think of the strategy I am taking ?, comment and share. Cheers 😬

Week 9...coming down the home stretch. The buds keep adding more frost by the day. My dehumidifier stopped working in the middle of the night yesterday, I didn't catch it until evening. I hope it didnt start mold growth. The tent was 80% humidity for about 8 hours! The smell in the air is starting to become very dank like a very fruity diesel.

Week 9 - First Week of Flowering 🌸 The dark period has ended, and these ladies came back into the light fully energized and ready for action! It’s just the first week of flower, and they’re all praying, stretching, and absolutely thriving—filling up every inch of the tent. This grow space is officially packed from wall to wall, with each plant competing for its share of light and showing off some of the biggest, healthiest leaves I’ve seen yet! 🌱 A few strategic plucks here and there have kept airflow smooth and light penetration balanced. Those big leaves? They’re a sign of happy, healthy growth. Large leaves help the plant capture maximum light energy, essential during this stage, especially as they start focusing on developing those flowers. When plants grow huge, vibrant leaves like these, it means they’re well-nourished and content in their environment—a true testament to the well-balanced conditions we’ve got going in the tent! Flowering Parameters 🌡️ Room Environment: • Temperature: 26.7°C • Humidity: 63.3% • CO2: 960 ppm • VPD: 1.29 kPa (prime zone for flowering health!) Lighting: • Light Intensity: 835 PPFD (ideal for boosting flower growth) • Solution: pH 5.96, TDS 460 ppm, temp 21.1°C • Medium: Moisture: 100%, TDS: 520 ppm, Temp: 21.6°C Carbon Filter Installation & Smell Management 🌬️🌱 With the transition to flower, the scent profile is already starting to kick in—crazy for the first week, right? 🌸 To keep everything fresh and under wraps, I’ve set up a carbon filter system. Here’s how it’s working: I’ve connected the filter to my Aerofan, which pulls air directly from the tent. This air is cleaned by the filter and released into the main room, where it then passes through another filter before exiting my space. This dual-filter setup means no scent escapes into the wild, keeping things stealthy and the grow room a peaceful, scent-contained environment. Perfect for anyone concerned about keeping their home free from that telltale aroma! 🕶️🌬️ Enhanced Lighting with Emerson Effect 🌞 This week, I’ve introduced an extra 15 minutes of red light at the beginning and end of each light cycle. Why? Well, this red boost taps into the Emerson effect, enhancing photosynthesis efficiency, especially during the flowering stage. By stimulating a little extra wake-up and wind-down light, we’re mimicking the natural sunrise and sunset experience for these plants, which can help reduce flowering time. Not only does it encourage smoother transitions into day and night, but in theory, it’ll help these ladies finish a bit faster, while giving them a little nudge to build more substantial, quality flowers. 🌇 Nutrient Adjustments 🌱 Now that we’re in flower, I’ve swapped out the Start Booster for P-Boost and TopBooster to specifically support flowering needs. Here’s why: • P-Boost brings in additional phosphorus, vital for energy transfer and cell division as the plant channels more resources into budding sites. • TopBooster supports the flowering phase by improving flower quality and density, helping to build those big, aromatic buds we’re after. These changes bring the nutrient mix in line with what’s most beneficial at this stage. All this precise dialing in is easy to manage thanks to the TrolMaster system. From pH to nutrient scheduling, the TrolMaster ecosystem and ThinkGrow LEDs have been the ultimate teammates in this grow journey, giving me real-time data, fine control, and peace of mind. 💯 (Not introducing UV light just yet, but stay tuned as that’s coming soon for an added boost!) Looking Forward 🌟 Next week, we’ll be upping the reds, giving us an even greater chance of activating those flowering signals for a smoother, faster transition through the cycle. I’ll keep tweaking and fine-tuning every parameter to make sure these ladies get exactly what they need to thrive. Big thanks to the TrolMaster system for keeping everything in balance and optimized, along with the supportive Grow Fam following this journey! Your enthusiasm, advice, and support are a huge part of this grow’s success. Keep following for more updates, and stay tuned for what’s next! 🌿✨ P.S. Deep Dive: TrolMaster’s MBS-S8 CO₂ Sensor & Smoke Detector 🚨 The MBS-S8 CO₂ Sensor from TrolMaster is a powerhouse for growers, especially when it comes to optimizing plant growth and efficiency in a controlled environment. This sensor continuously monitors CO₂ levels and integrates directly with the TrolMaster ecosystem, giving you real-time data on CO₂ concentration. Ideal levels of CO₂ can significantly boost growth and yield during certain stages, so understanding and managing CO₂ is key. With the MBS-S8, I can control CO₂ levels precisely, keeping them within the optimal range for photosynthesis. This sensor is a game-changer because it adjusts CO₂ delivery automatically, giving plants exactly what they need without any extra monitoring from me. Meanwhile, TrolMaster’s Smoke Detector is an essential safety device, especially in spaces with electrical equipment, lights, and heat-generating components. This detector can be set up to alert me instantly via the TrolMaster app if any smoke is detected, allowing me to respond immediately to any potential issues. Fires and smoke are rare in controlled grow setups but having this safety measure provides peace of mind and lets me focus on the plants without constant worry. It’s an incredible tool for any grower prioritizing safety and proactive monitoring.

Welcome to week 6 of my first Grow diary. The weather is disappointing me again this year. Normally we should have better weather in June. It's been quite windy and wet this week. Apart from that, everything is going well. The yellow spots on the leaves have become less and less every day. I readjusted the plant anchors every day to ensure that the plant gets plenty of sun when it shines. I had to cut off a few leaves because they were in the way and would otherwise have touched the soil. The daytime temperatures have fluctuated between 17 and 22 degrees this week. Fortunately, it is now getting warmer at night. Hopefully see you next week ✌️

Hey now, so I got the final toppings completed about 5 days ago, I started LST the day after topping and will continue for another week or two and then switch them to 12/12 on LED's and let them do their thing. She is still growing slow but sturdy, with extremely tight inter-nodal spacing and very thick and sturdy stems/structures. I am thinking about staying with the MH bulb for a couple more weeks and then making the transition either when she outgrows the footprint of the bulb, or when it's time to flip to flower. Either way, probably only gonna be a few more weeks.....Hope everyone is having a great weekend, be safe and BLAZE ON!!!!!
