🌸 Week 4 Flower Report: Growth, Challenges & Big Changes! 🌸
Hey, Grow Diaries Fam! ✨
We’re here at Week 4 of Flower, and what a week it’s been—packed with challenges, adjustments, and exciting progress! Before diving into the details, let’s start with a note on my flowering timeline. While this is Week 4, I don’t start counting flower days the moment I flip to 12/12. Instead, I wait for the plants to show true signs of bloom. It’s a small but significant distinction that keeps things accurate and aligned with the plants’ development. 🌱
Defoliation: Timing is Everything!
Defoliation is a critical part of the flowering stage, and I typically wait until Day 21. However, this week, I tackled it earlier on Day 17 because:
1️⃣ The room was simply too full.
2️⃣ And most importantly—the Papaya Zoap had other plans!
She’s a fighter—determined, defiant, and constantly reaching for the moon. Despite intense training like super cropping, she’s still pushing upward, nearly outpacing the LED lights. Challenges like this remind us of a simple truth: gardening mirrors life. It’s about resilience, adaptation, and unwavering determination. 💪
This week, I added a second SCROG layer. While this net will support the flowering colas, it’s also there to strategically manage the Papaya Zoap. Why? Because experience has taught me that if she grows out of the LED’s range, she won’t finish properly—and that could disrupt the balance for every other plant in the tent. It’s all about teamwork, even in the garden. 🌟
Defoliation was intense, removing nearly all the leaves with stems to clear space and boost airflow. The tent now looks dramatically different! For the full before-and-after transformation, be sure to check out my YouTube channel—trust me, you’ll want to see this process up close! 🎥✨
Switching to Aptus Holland Minerals
A major milestone this week: I’ve transitioned entirely to Aptus Holland Minerals. 🌊 From now on, it’s just minerals—no more organic inputs. This marks the start of a new chapter, and I’m incredibly curious to see how the plants react to these changes. Here’s the current nutrient mix:
• System Clean: 0.5 ml/L
• Regulator: 0.15 ml/L
• RO Water Conditioner: 0.8 ml/L
• All-in-One Liquid: 2.1 ml/L
I’m keeping the pH at 6.1 and TDS at 556 ppm, and so far, the plants are thriving. This week also included a thorough system clean, ensuring everything runs smoothly as we enter the final flowering stages. 🌿
Bud Development: Pure Magic!
The bud formation across all the genetics is nothing short of incredible. Every plant is thriving, and the canopy is lush, vibrant, and full of potential. I’ve raised the PPFD to 750 for this stage, with temps steady at 25°C and RH at 63%—keeping the VPD dialed in at 1.11. The TrolMaster ecosystem, paired with the AutoPots, makes managing these precise conditions seamless. With more time to focus on the plants, I can give them the daily care they deserve. 💚
Shoutouts & Gratitude
A huge thank you to my sponsors and supporters: TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Pro-Mix, Cannakan, and the amazing seed banks. Your incredible products and technology make this journey possible. 🌟
To the Grow Diaries community and all my followers—thank you for your energy, love, and even the challenges from the haters. It all fuels this incredible process, and I apprecilove every bit of it.
Special shoutout to Brother Daggadna—check him out on Instagram and show some love! 💚
The plants are heading into the next phase of bloom, and I can’t wait to share how this story unfolds. 🌸✨
As always, stay tuned, stay positive, and let’s keep growing strong together! 🙌
Growers’ love to all 💚

P.S. – A Deep Dive into the ICL-300: Revolutionizing Under-Canopy Lighting
The ICL-300 isn’t just another LED—it’s a game-changer for under-canopy lighting. Unlike traditional LED systems that project light in a single direction, the ICL-300’s 300-degree design ensures even light distribution beneath the canopy. 🌟 This unique feature means that no part of your plant is left in shadow, creating a balanced environment for lower buds to thrive.
Key Tech Specs & Benefits:
• 300-Degree Light Distribution: This design fills the under-canopy space with optimal light, enhancing photosynthesis where it often gets neglected. 🌱
• Full Spectrum Output: Tailored to meet the specific needs of plants at every stage, ensuring quality growth from base to apex.
• Energy Efficiency: Advanced LED technology delivers maximum output with minimal energy usage, keeping costs down and sustainability up. 💡
• Durability & Heat Management: Built with high-quality materials, the ICL-300 stays cool and reliable, even in intense growing environments.
Why It Matters:
Under-canopy lighting is a game-changer for growers aiming to maximize yield and quality. Typically, lower buds receive less light, resulting in larfy or underdeveloped flowers. The ICL-300 changes that dynamic entirely by turning shadows into opportunity. 🌟 With light evenly dispersed across the entire plant, you’re not just growing; you’re sculpting a masterpiece.
For me, the ICL-300 is more than a tool—it’s a partner in innovation. It ensures that every plant in my grow room has equal opportunity to shine, from the top colas to the smallest buds at the base. When paired with a carefully managed ecosystem, like the one powered by TrolMaster, the potential for consistent, top-quality harvests reaches new heights.
This isn’t just about adding light—it’s about adding value, efficiency, and balance to the grow process. I’m beyond excited to see how the ICL-300 transforms the game in my tent, and I can’t wait to share the results with you all! 💚

Things are good 😺👌..New growth seems to be coming in fast on the 2 plants we topped...much faster growth than we've seen up to this point..all plants seem happy and all have a great color (after working out my slight overfeeding )..we've been running the MarsHydro near the top of the tent the entire grow as a test and its still more than adequate. .we don't have a light meter but we do have some crazy tight node spacing to confirm lol...I still say these plants are a little on the small side but they seem to be growing faster now..I'm pretty sure leaving them rootbound in cups didn't help their development...I think they're finally becoming adjusted to their new homes and we'll see some explosive growth in the coming week 💡🌱... fingers crossed 😺🤞

Finally got the girls into their nets and in their final positions. I now have two rows 5‘ x 11‘ gave each plant half cup of craft blend and did a 1 inch layer of build a flower, then covered with chopped up leaves and straw, then watered in with recharge And I gave them a small lolly pop and thind out some of the smaller branches. I’m thinking they will go into flower in about two weeks. Here are some before and after shots.

I think I need to top it the men at the grow shop told me last week to wait for this week because the plant is very dense so every advice is welcome
I also got the pH water tester last week but haven't use it yet i only use the pH down and soil tester so now I will use it and get the pH to go back to 6.5 again

I put 328 grams of wet bud into my dry tent, my target variables are 60F/60RH for 2 week, with the current temps and high out side humidity we are averaging 66F/58%RH so not to far off - these buds will probably be done at 10 days - looking forward to updating this as harvest report when I trim up.

I added a C02 bag... hmm... probably not enough. Maybe time to look into a small tank system.
I will likely flip to flower soon. All the plants get to play!

Hello Diary.
The first week of flowering is over, the plants have branched out nicely, the Purple Punch has grown more than 60cm and has now become crowded on the Farm.
Specifically, Purple Punch # 1 grew 66 cm, Purple Punch # 2, which sprouted a few days later, grew 54 cm, which surpassed roommate Watermelon, who keeps them company on the Farm.
Along with the height, there are a lot of leaves throughout the plant, but this time I'm not sure if I would do defoliation.
The plants normally look healthy and satisfied, they did not reflect as much as on Watermelon, that they were harmed by too many nutrients. They’re obviously a little more resistant to that. Except for the yellowish tips of the leaves, which I believe is genetics, everything else seems fine.
The flowers started to form, so I have new motives to photograph. At the beginning of the week, I also changed the light regime to 20 hours of the day and 4 hours of the night.
I water every two to three days, when each plant gets about 2 liters of water. I add food at about every other watering. Sometimes biobizz and sometimes I put Easy Grow or Easy Bloom tablet, depending on the stage the plant is in.
p.H. I always adjust the water value to a value between 6.2 and 6.5.
Conditions on the Farm are more or less satisfactory, the temperature is about 25 degrees while the humidity is slightly lower than satisfactory, varying between 40% and 50%.
Here’s a brief overview of the past week.
18/02/2021 - Day 23.
Watering. I adjusted the water to 6.3 p.H with Plagron’s Lemon Kick and added 1.5 mL / lit CalMg preventively.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 41% humidity.
20/02/2021 - Day 25.
Watering. I regulated the water to 6.4 p.H, I added 1ml / lit CalMg and BioBizz as scheduled for the first week of flowering.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 24.4 degrees and 43% humidity.
22/02/2021 - Day 27.
Watering. This time I watered only with water which I regulated p.H at 6.3.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 24.6 degrees and 40% humidity.
23/02/2021 - Day 28.
Photography and height measurement.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 42% humidity.
That’s it for this week, a big hello and thank you to everyone who follows the diary and thanks for the comments. See you soon.

high! Thanks for checking out my grow. I might not be the most organized grower here but I try lmao. This is the second round with this strain. As you can see my diary stars with flowering as I had started with clones from my last grow. I hope to keep this updated regularly however life(kids,work,wife) trump everything. Happy growing my friends and hope to see your grow too!!!! ✌️

Yummy! That's all I can say when I open up the tent. Will up their feed strength next res change since I think they could use a bit more nutrients.

Week 5 coming to an end and things are looking good and smelling better! Frost is starting to pile on these girls nicely. One thing I did notice on one of the Cali Sunsets is that some of the top most leaves are starting to turn purple from the backside. Don't know if its the strain or maybe a P Def? We'll have to wait and see I guess

We are at 27 days of flowering now and they are starting to change colors now. The gorilla is really turning yellow. I could of gave her a bit of nitrogen but this is just a practice run with my custom bred seeds so I'm letting it go. Alot of frost showing now. They are loving the new fc4800 and 8x8 Grow Tent for sure🤘 another couple weeks and I should know more about the smell of them. Right now they smell more like the nuken but they are slowly changing to have their own unique smell. None of them smell like what the parents did. Except at the beginning of getting frosty they all kinda smelt like nuken. Like marshmallows. The monkey dough nuken smells like fruit loops and the gorilla smells like skittles. More than the original skittles does👍

Harvest at day 69/107.
Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed with the mainlining technique. Final yield is good overall, but the 8 colas got really different from each other, which is not supposed to happen in this method. There was 1 huge cola + 1 very big + 2 slightly smalled + 4 medium/small

Hello grow 🌎! Finally seeing signs of flowering beginning. (Branches alternating, calxes, pistils, etc.) I cut the girls' dose of gro pro which is full of N, way down amd introduced monster bloom and a small dose of nirvana. Was going to tie down branches but realized that it would make draining their buckets near impossible. So I decided to use bamboo sticks to "position" branches in spots of light and out of tge way of others.

Week 4 in the books. She started throwing pistils this week. Cruising along and handling the training like a champ. She's drinking about a cup of water daily and her roots are thriving in the runoff caught in the 2nd cup, which gets dumped before each new watering. Strong structure and starting to get a little smell. She smelled like celery leaves up to this point. I've raised her closer to the light to increase light intensity.
