Starting my first grow in the new tent with my first Night Owl seeds. Grabbed these from seedslocker a few months ago and they've been sitting in my seed vault in the fridge since. Popped them in a glass of water at 8pm on 10/18. Broke out the AC Infinity propagation system and added a bit of RO water to some coco pucks. About 24 hours later they sunk in the glass and had opened up a bit with root peaking out, so into the pucks they went on the evening of 10/19. No real movement on 10/20, turned the heat pad off because they were a little warm. Morning of 10/21 the first Compound V was starting to pop through the soil, 2nd one followed a couple hours after and before noon all 3 were making their way out. Opened vents on the dome to let them breathe a bit more. 10/22 continuing to grow really strongly, looking good. 10/23 some roots out the bottom, time to go into the tent. Transplanted and seem happy, dialing in the temp and humidity and airflow, some odd higher temp days still around this time of year with some heavy fluctuations but it will normalize out. The tent has been stood up and cooking a bit w/ the lights blazing and a dehumidifier running to dry out our soil a bit. Had issues with fungus gnats last grow and I'm trying to prevent that this time. Ordered some beneficial nematodes as a line of defense and sprayed soil with a good soak of neem oil as a precaution after drying out. Sticky traps show no gnats so far. Soil is Coast Of Maine Stonington Blend Aeration Formula, a 70 / 30 Coco / Perlite blend that I've used before. I have Coast of Maine dry nutrients and Fox Farm liquid nutrients, will likely try to stick to the dry nutrients unless fungus gnats emerge again. Soil is in 5 gallon fabric pots. I added 2/3 cup of Stonington Blend Plant Food and 1/3 cup of Wiscasset Blend Earthworm Castings to each pot along with some Mycorrhizal Fungi spores and worked it in. I have been using the AC Infinity self watering bases but as I'm running 6 total plants this grow I've ordered the new Vivosun self watering bases to compare them.

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Hi everyone :-) This week it has developed really well again :-). I didn't train her this week, I'll do it again next week :-). It was poured twice this week with 1.2 l each time (see nutrient table above for adding nutrients). I sprayed them all with GreenBuzzLiquida Fast Plant spray. I also cleaned the entire tent and checked everyone's health. Fresh osmosis water was prepared and filled into canisters. Yellow boards against flies have been put up and blue tags to prevent trips. Unfortunately I still struggle with them but they have become significantly less pushed. I think in a few weeks the last story should be :-). Otherwise, like every day, they were looked at and petted for a while ;-). I wish you lots of fun and stay healthy 🙏🏻 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros.

🌱 Week 1: The Journey Begins! 🌟 Hey Grow Fam! 🙌 We’re off to an epic start with our TrolMaster adventure, and I’m already feeling the love for the setup, the seeds, and the growth happening in the room! So, let’s dive right in and get into the details of this exciting week! 🌿 Germination Update: Our first Gorilla Melon seed from Fast Buds didn’t sprout, but no worries—round two was a success! 🦍🍈 The second seed has germinated and is looking full of potential. I’m throwing in a Sweet Seeds Papaya Zoap into the germination station too, so we’re keeping this exciting lineup going strong! Germination is such a key part of the journey, and having a healthy start is what it’s all about. 🔧 Room Build & TrolMaster Setup: The build is coming along beautifully, and I gotta say, the TrolMaster system is blowing my mind! Everything’s under control like magic 🎩✨, and the TM+ app? Wow, just wow. I mean, I can literally be in the bathroom and still keep an eye on the plants—check all the metrics, adjust settings, and fine-tune what I need, all from my phone! 😂💧 This level of control is next level. I’m loving how smooth and seamless it makes managing the room. The gear is just unreal, and seeing it all come together is truly something special. 🌱 Nutrition Talk: As for feeding, we’re starting light but smart! I’ve begun with 0.15ml of Regulator and 0.25ml of Startbooster per liter for now. I always believe in starting easy and ramping up as the plants develop. These early stages are crucial—balance is everything. For the time being, I feel this is more than enough to keep the babies happy and healthy. 🌿💧 The Regulator is working wonders in maintaining plant structure and health, while the Startbooster is fueling the early root and vegetative growth, laying down a solid foundation for the weeks to come. It’s about getting it right from the start—too much too early can be a killer. Keeping it steady with precision, that’s the goal! Big Shout-Outs: To the amazing team at @TrolMaster, @Fast_Buds, @Sweet_Seeds, @AptusHolland, and all the incredible sponsors—I’m beyond grateful for the support! 💚 And to my GrowDiaries fam and followers, you guys make this journey what it is—thank you for the love, and I’m so honored to have you along for this ride. 🙏 We’re just getting started, and I can’t wait to show you what’s next. Stay tuned for more updates, epic builds, gear reviews, and plenty of insight. Don’t forget to follow me on GrowDiaries, YouTube, and IG for exclusive content, and let’s make this grow the best one yet! 🌿🔥 Growers Love to All 💚💚💚 P.S.- A deep dive into the Full Spectrum Quantum Sensor (MBS-PAR): The Full Spectrum Quantum Sensor (MBS-PAR) is an essential tool for any serious grower looking to optimize their light environment. This sensor measures photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), which refers to the spectrum of light that plants actually use for photosynthesis—typically between 400 and 700 nanometers and more depending . What makes the MBS-PAR sensor special is its full spectrum capability, meaning it accurately detects not just visible light but also far-red and UV light—which are crucial for maximizing plant growth, development, and flowering. With this tool, I can monitor the exact intensity of light my plants are receiving, making sure they’re getting the optimal levels for every stage of growth. By using this sensor in my grow room, I’ll be able to ensure that the light distribution is uniform across the canopy. Plus, it allows me to fine-tune the light output from my ThinkGrow LED setup, ensuring my plants are thriving under the best conditions. Whether it’s increasing light during the vegetative phase or fine-tuning it for flowering, the MBS-PAR sensor helps me keep everything on point. And the best part? I can monitor it all through the TrolMaster app, ensuring I can make adjustments whenever needed—even if I’m not in the grow room! This level of precision means healthier plants, better yields, and maximum efficiency. It’s a game-changer for taking the guesswork out of lighting and getting closer to growing perfection! 🌱💡 Growers Love to All 💚💚💚

May 17, 2024 Day 92 This is the last week of the Flowering phase. I'll be harvesting most likely next midweek or earlier. The goal is to harvest by the end of the week, but I don't think they will be done. Banana Purple Punch A looks amazing! Her branches are nice and leaning. Not too much, just enough. She's also starting to show signs of fade. Or at least unhappy leaves turning yellow. One weird thing I noticed is the back leaves all have signs of nitrogen toxicity. What's weird is that I haven't used nitrogen in over a week and the last time I used it, I did a quarter dose. This should not be happening. I'm confused. Other than that, it's the end and I'm not worried about it, but it's still weird. Any insight? Banana Purple Punch B looks great as well. Tons of orange pistils and lots of frost. What's nice is that a lot of that frost is still clear trichomes. Imagine what they will look like in the end. I'm so excited! Both plants still have water in their basins, so I'm going to let them drain out and most likely not water again. It should be about a week for them to dry out completely. Perfect timing for harvest. I may put Banana Purple Punch A in a dark period while Banana Purple Punch B finishes up for a couple days. I'm doing the same thing with my Tropicana Cookies. Lighting. Well, it hasn't changed. Lol. Duh. Hahahahaha. Another week of this light intensity. I've all but given up on the environment. It's got tons of airflow and lots of light. The temp is fine. It's just the damned humidity. I give up. I'll just keep removing the plants from the tent as need be. I didn't touch Banana Purple Punch A today though. She is propping up the last Tropicana Cookies for the next 2 days. I will however, make sure to inspect her as much as I can. And as soon as she is freed up, I'll be flipping her around. And pulling her away from the side of the tent. Same with Banana Purple Punch B. Both are squished for the moment. I also managed to get all 4 Sour Diesel plants in the tent after pulling one of the Tropicana Cookies. So these ladies are a bit tight for now. But only for a couple of days. If that. I was considering putting the Sour Diesel in the back and keeping the Tropicana Cookies up front for ease of access, but that will just cause chaos with bendy floppy branches. So I'm leaving it. It all fits. Snug as the Tetris skills I had to use to make it happen. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.4° RH: 61.4% VPD: 1.17 kPa Quick update on lighting: I had to increase the light power up to 80% for the Sour Diesels now in the tent. They were at like 16 mol/m²/d instead of the 20 to 25 mol/m²/d it should be. Anyway, so the light was increased. It didn't change much. Some spots went back up to 40 mol/m²/d, and some went up to 38 mol/m²/d. Overall the spread is 34 to 40 mol/m²/d. These 2 should t have any issues with the light increase. I wonder if it will help along the maturing process. I don't know science. Maybe the dark does? Maybe they both do and just in different ways. Yah, that's it. May 18, 2024 Watering day. Both ladies got a full gallon reservoir refill of plain water today. No sense in running the Flawless Finish anymore. They have mere days left to maybe a week. I'll just keep extending the time until I'm right. Lol. Hopefully it will be the last watering. Neither plant is thirsty at all, so it should take around a week for the reservoirs to empty. Banana Purple Punch A looks great! She is nearly ready. No fade yet though. I don't really understand. Is she not fading because she isn't done yet? Or is this just how it's going to be? Insight? Lol. Banana Purple Punch B is coming along nicely. I don't think she is near done yet. I don't get why they are taking so long. Either way, when she's done, there will be some amazing bud. The light isn't hurting anything that I can tell. So it will stay the same. The environment is an absolute mess now. With more power to the light comes more heat. Now I'm stuck in the mid 60s for humidity and 78° for the temp. All bad. I've been checking each plant for mold, mildew, bud rot and anything else that doesn't look right. So far we're safe. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 64.2% VPD: 1.06 kPa Can you say horrible environment? I'm so screwed. Even if I don't get any issues like bud rot, the humidity is doing a toll on trichome production. Update: After some research, I have found that high humidity can cause plant production to slow down significantly. That could be the problem I'm facing right now. My humidity is entirely way too high and the plants aren't able to take in water. And some other science I'm sure. Also, I've noticed the leaves on Banana Purple Punch A are really shiny and clawing just like nitrogen toxicity, but I'm in the second week of plain water and flushing agent. What gives? If anyone knows, I would greatly appreciate a comment or a DM. Thanks! May 19, 2024 Not a lot to do today. No watering or trichomes. Banana Purple Punch A is being weird with this nitrogen toxicity during flush. How would that work? Anyway, her leaves are starting to die off a little but no fade. Still, she has huge buds that smell wonderful. Banana Purple Punch B is starting to show a bit of color in her leaves. Just a hint of purple but just a hint. If she fades, it won't be for a bit. But it's time I don't really have. Let's hope she starts to fade quickly. Both have been in plain water for a week and before that a week of Flawless Finish. Must be more nutrients in the soil. Nothing to talk about with lighting. We all know where it's at. The environment. I'm really confused. So a week of high humidity and my room is also humid. Today, it's low humidity and my room is still high. Even with the door open from outside it's still high. Why? What sorcery is this? Anyway, the tent is still stuck at 65% humidity and temps are down to 73°. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 68.3% VPD: 0.84 kPa May 20, 2024 We are starting to fade! Finally! Both ladies are starting to fade in their own way. No watering today. They definitely don't need it at all. Maybe a half gallon before the drying period. Banana Purple Punch A is fading in her own messed up unhappy way. Her leaves are super shiny and clawing like she has nitrogen toxicity, but she's flushing. I don't get it. Leaves are canoeing and turning yellow. Maybe this is her fading in the most messed up way. But she's fading. Some of her leaves are starting to get a purple hue. Her buds are super fat and stinky. It's wonderful. Banana Purple Punch B is the picture of a perfect small plant. She is fading like a normal plant. She's getting purple hues on her leaves, buds are developing purple as well. By the end, I hope to have a couple deep purple plants. I'm still wondering why it's taking so long. They should have been done weeks ago. The lighting is the same. The environment is the same. Although, it dropped to 40% outside yesterday and the humidity stubbornly stayed in the mid 60s. It makes no sense. Anyway, I'm stuck at 65% still and the temp is finally under control again. I have it a bit low for the last bit of flowering at 73° it's going to be hot today, so I'm hoping my room stays cool. Maybe the humidity will drop again and I can try to get the humidity to come down. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 67.7% VPD: 0.86 kPa May 21, 2024 Trichome day! Some good things happening today. Both ladies are looking great! They finally have some fade going on. Not a lot, but some. Banana Purple Punch A is almost out of water. I'm going to let her dry out a bit more and then add another half gallon to her reservoir. Her trichomes are starting to show more amber. Maybe 5% now? About 10% clear and the rest are cloudy. She still has a bit more time to go. I'd say another 5 to 7 days? Maybe slightly less? Hopefully slightly less. Banana Purple Punch B has a saturated bottom. I think it's because the roots never grew out of the container, so the soil is sucking up all the water and I guess the roots are not? I'm not sure, but I can def say that she is barely drinking. I'll pull the wicks tomorrow. Her trichomes are looking great. She has around the same as her sister plant. About 5% amber, 10% clear and the rest cloudy. Both plants have huge dense buds. I can only imagine how much more dense they will get over the next few days while they finish up. We finally got the central air on in the house. It made all the difference in the environment. Well, that was until it shut off and then my room needed assistance. In the form of wet cold air. Definitely not good there, but the AC will kick on in no time. It's 80° out today, so I expect the central air to kick on anytime now. When it's on, the humidity drops to 56% and the temp stays at 74°. Very nice. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.7° RH: 62.9% VPD: 1.00 kPa May 22, 2024 Nothing to do today with these two. I might have to water Banana Purple Punch A in a little while. I was hoping I could get away with it, but I think she is dried up enough for another half gallon of tap water PHed to 6.1. Banana Purple Punch A looks good but has clear signs of previous stress. Interesting. Her tops are leaning even harder now. Those buds must be super heavy. The branches are pretty thick. Banana Purple Punch B looks amazing. Purple is coming in quickly. Her buds are definitely denser and fatter now. Probably as big as they will get. Now it's just time for her to mature. I have a small problem. I have 1 Tropicana Cookies left and 4 Sour Diesels in pre-flower in the tent as well. Suffice it to say, I need to make room for the Sour Diesels to stretch. And that could start anyway now. I'm concerned I'm going to run into massive crowding and cause mold. As it is, the humidity is still really high, so I don't want to risk it. All that being said, I might now be able to wait for perfect doneness with these ladies. I might have to harvest them in a matter of a couple days. The last Tropicana Cookies in the tent should be pulled either tomorrow or the next day, unless the Sour Diesels start to significantly stretch, then all three including these two will have to be pulled. So there you go have it. My current issue is space for 7 plants in a 3x3 tent. I know, I'm ridiculous. But you gotta do what you gotta do. On a side note, I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong to always have plants go way past their time. Seriously, it kind of messes with my schedule. For example the Sour Diesels. Those were planted on 4/20 and these ladies were supposed to be fully done a week later. But it's been 4 more weeks and they still aren't done. Total wrench in my plans. What could I be doing wrong? The environment is still a mess. The central air hasn't kicked on yet, so I'm relying on my own portable AC. The problem with that is it blows out really humid air when the compressor kicks off. So my humidity is high again. Over 60% yet again. The temp is fine at 75°. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.7° RH: 59.4% VPD: 1.20 kPa May 23, 2024 Last day of the week and we have some real purple coming in now. Especially on Banana Purple Punch B. Most of her tops are now a nice deep purple. Leaves are also getting the nice purple hue as well. Banana Purple Punch A looks great. Lots of leaning branches now. She should be ready for harvest in just a few days. Not as much purple as I'd hoped, but it's fine. Her buds still look fantastic. Banana Purple Punch B is quite nice. She has super heavy tops and should be ready in maybe 5 days. There's still too many white pistils on the lowers. I can't express how nicely the purple is coming in. A little late from what I've seen in other grows, but here nonetheless. She still hasn't finished her gallon of water and it's been well into a week. I think I'll turn off the bottom feed system for her tomorrow. It should be perfect timing for her last week of life. I definitely cannot change the lighting for these two. The Sour Diesels need more of it. I'll have to drop it down soon, they are growing pretty fast and starting to seriously pray. Too much. So the light will remain her for now. I might still lower the light and turn down the intensity. I'm not sure yet. The environment is starting to calm down. Not quite fast enough for my liking to be honest. Currently the temp is around 76.5° and the humidity is still high at 61%, but it will drop in a little while. Maybe we can get down to 50% today. Update: I've decided to give these two no more than a week to finish up. Both of the Tropicana Cookies are out now and they are taking around 5 days to dry, maybe 7. But no longer than that. The other reason is the Sour Diesels that are now sharing the tent are in pre-flower and will need the space ASAP. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.2° RH: 60.6% VPD: 1.18 kPa

Well it is time to see what all my work will produce dry. 10 days in dry room then into the mason jars with a vivi cure can't wait. This grow I changed a lot from my water source from fox Alaska natural water to RO. Man was this a challenge. Not a single person I watched said anything about how unstable it is. To some research and problem solving to figure out how to stabilize it. Well if your wondering I added air to my AC infinity self wicking basin and set a timer to run 5 minutes on and 10 minutes off. I also went constant feed after week three. Will need to do some adjustments but it seems to be viable. More to come. See you next post

After germinating the seeds are transplanted into small pots with soil (see tutorial in VIDEO above). The soil is prepared with water mixed with a little bit of BIO NOVA Roots (0,5 ml/l), which aids the development of the seedling. Transplanting is very easy now, because they have grown a STRAIGHT tap-root while hanging during the SERIOUS' WAY of germination. This straight root allows for easy potting of the seeds. Simply make a little hole in the center of the soil with your pinky finger and carefully place the germinated seed with the white root pointing DOWNWARDS into the hole. Best is to lay it onto one side-wall of the hole with the seed shell right at the surface. Then I push the other side inwards and enclose the whole root with soil. At the end only the top of the seed-shell peeks out of the soil. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to plant the seeds NOT TO DEEP into the soil. The seedling only needs extra strength to work itself upwards thru the soil and you run the risk of the soil drying out and the seed dying off. When you PLANT THE SEED VERY SHALLOW into the soil (=with the top of the seed-shell still peeking out) your seedling can grow out right away and you have a small plant already 24 hours after putting the seed into the soil. The small seedling sometimes still has the seed-shell on its 'head', it normally falls off by itself, but sometimes you have to carefully help and take it off with your finger nails. Be careful to NOT clip of the seedling accidentally when you do this! The seed-shall has an inner lining, which feeds the small seedling when it germinates. This inner lining sometimes gets tangled around the stem of the small seedling after the shell has fallen off. This little skin MUST be taken off the stem right away! Once it dries up, it gets hard and can strangulate the seedling around the stem. In order to avoid this, the skin must be taken off as soon as possible! I show it in the pics above and also made a video about taking off the inner lining of the seed.
