So far so good! I have continued to progressivily orient the stems of each plant with some strings except for the Mandarin Punch #2. I broke a stem from the O.G. Kush during the process. I've tried to fix it with wire and tape. The next day, the stem looked healthy and reoriented itself towards the light so I guess it's a good sign :) Wait and see... As last week, I still struggle with the air humidity but with the dehumidifer it's ok. I poor 2l of tap water during each watering for the 26l pots and 1l for the 10l pot. Once again I think I had some small light burns on the O.G. Kush but I moved the light a bit and it seems good now. It has started to smell in the house when the room door is open. The two Mandarin Punch Auto grew pretty fast this week, I think they started their stretch.

Due to problems with autoflower genetics and refusing to flower. I am pleased with final result. I knew my yield would take a hit by using 3 gallon pots. Just was not planning for these plants to take damn 100 days. Roots were coming thru bottom of bags. Not good. But happy results and beautiful purple nugs. See what the cure does. Edit/ update: with few days of curing smell and taste have dramatically improved. There is basically no woody taste or smell, just grapey and sour with a hint of spicy. I change my strain score to 9/10. Due to not being able to update after 1 hr of original post. The only reason I give a 9 is because of Flowering problem. Update: week of curing smooth as butter and fruity and flowery flavor mellow draw with a little kick no harshness at all. Pleseant take.

10/15 This week saw a few snags. Both gorilla zkittlez girls are showing what looks like a Mg def i.e yellowing between veins and green veins themselves. This isn't the first time they've exhibited these symptoms. Currently the heaviest affected leaves are the lowest fan leaves farthest from the light. Aiming to keep it that way. I think it's pH swinging too low. I need to pay more attention to my feeds but sometimes I don't have the time to pH my water as properly as I should. The reason I say it's that and not a deficiency is because they are also showing signs of over feed (yellow leaf tips) only a one half-strength feed did this. There must be plenty of food left in the pot. I'm thinking the flip is gonna come at the end of the week. I'll clean up some lower foliage tomorrow or Sunday and let them grow the rest of the week. 10 weeks seems like a nice round number to me. More pics coming when I do my defoll. 10/16 added some pics and vids

Well the girls are swelling up and smelling fantastic this week.Noticing the trichomes really building up lately.These papaya cookies are a very resilient strain as I’ve battled heat and humidity for a large portion of the grow and they have been doing great.Its been a blast watching these girls grow and develop.Will update later on in the week also I’m keeping light intensity set at 60 percent power because that’s what seems to make the happiest.Ive tried to pound them with light and added a co2 bag but they did not like the heat or extra light.I used some organic Unsulphured Blackstrap Molasses to add some sugars and a dash of epsom salts for a little more Magnesium.Ive been back and forth in my brain with the light intensity and Day 52 now set at 80 percent power.Reading some reviews of this strain she is a sun lover I believe so I’m just going to let them have it.Some of the fan leaves are fried some curling and fading but the new growth looks healthy and the buds are looking amazing..I’ll give them a final haircut later on this weekend.Day 55 the buds are maturing the pistols turning bright orange and trichomes building up making some very frosty buds :).I can’t wait to smoke these girls 🥦🔥😎.

SUMMARY: Due to time constraints I decided in the end to make this the last week. I checked the trichs on both plants and the Amnesia now has plenty of amber heads and the OG now also has some albeit much less. Though all trichs are at least milky with the exception of the rare clear head or 2. I did a quick flush watering with rain water only on Monday, Tues, and Thursday then left to dry until Saturday when I chopped them down. DAY 92 -------- Thursday 03/12/2020 I fed the plants. GWE 04/2020 updated schedule Week 9 Late Bloom nutes for the OG and then the Sensi Garden Peak nutes for the Amnesia. OG (in) = 5.5L pH 6.5 OG (out) = 0.6L (11%) pH 5.6 [0.9 drop] Amnesia (in) = 3.5L pH 6.4 Amnesia (out) = 1.6L (46%) pH 5.8 [0.6 drop] If my eyes don't deceive me it would appear that the Amnesia is finally starting to pack on some weight! Hopefully both will have a decent yield in 2 weeks time. The RH has been at 45-48% for the last week and the temps are consistent at 24°C and so we're right on track. DAY 94 -------- Saturday 05/12/2020 I fed the plants though gave the amnesia less volume as it doesn't need it. GWE 04/2020 updated schedule Week 9 Late Bloom nutes for the OG and then the Sensi Garden Peak nutes for the Amnesia. OG (in) = 5.5L pH 6.4 OG (out) = 0.4L (8%) pH 5.3 [1.1 drop] Amnesia (in) = 3L pH 6.2 Amnesia (out) = 1L (33%) pH 5.6 [0.6 drop] The OG is drinking more and more and both plants are definitely starting to pack on some weight now and I'm very excited. DAY 95 ------ Sunday 06/12/2020 I checked the trichs on both plants and its a good job I did as the Amnesia has plenty of amber heads (possibly upwards of 30% its very hard to confirm tbh as the usb microscope is handheld and so VERY sensitive to movement - it took me best part of 30mins to get enough clear shots for me to decide the Amnesia is done). I took shots of both trichs using my usb microscope but as its cheap and the app is freeware it is awful and so just clumps all your pics together and not in any particular order, or at least not in the order they were taken and so after spending 30mins+ taking pics I don't know which are from which plant! But both have amber trich heads showing though the OG doesn't have as many as the Amnesia as expected. I wasn't going to do a flush after doing some research and seeing that its a controversial topic over whether there is any benefit and my rationale being that I'd rather the buds be as big as possible and so it made sense to feed up until chop. However I changed my mind after not being able to find a reputable source that claims flushing is not beneficial plus the general consensus is that you absolutely must flush if using synthetic nutes which I am. I will flush from now until Friday and then chop on Saturday or Sunday. DAY 96 -------- Monday 07/12/2020 I watered with rainwater (pH between 6.2-6.4) giving the OG 6L and the Amnesia 5L to ensure plenty of runoff. DAY 97 -------- Tuesday 08/12/2020 I watered with rainwater (pH between 6.2-6.4) giving the OG 6L and the Amnesia 5L to ensure plenty of runoff. DAY 99 -------- Thursday 10/12/2020 This should technically be week 15 as of today but as I'm chopping on Saturday its just not worth creating another flowering week in this diary. I watered both plants for the last time today, both with rainwater (pH between 6.2-6.4) giving the OG 6L and the Amnesia 5L to ensure plenty of runoff. I will now let the plants dry out until harvest which will be on Saturday 12th. I have also knocked the lights off to leave them in darkness now until chop which gives them roughly 40 hours of darkness as advised by many. Apparently the darkness can somehow increase the potency though it seems this is another controversial topic and one I haven't done enough research on and so have decided to do so as all the tutorials/guides/diaries I've read do 12-72 hours of darkness before chop. If I don't chop this weekend then I'll be pushing it if I want another harvest before I go away next year. If this wasn't the case I would let these run until the Amnesia was about 50% or more amber to give the OG time to catch up as the OG genetics are much superior to the Amnesia.

one of the plants is flowering and the buds on it look nice so far but like said last week, it also has some seeds/pollen sacs, so I'm hoping there'll still be some buds on it by harvest, the other two haven't started flowering much yet, I've only taken videos because I don't have a light and I couldn't see what I was taking a photo of

This being my very first seed to harvest grow I would say it was a good outcome but definitely room for improvements to be made. Total Yield was 61 grams of smokable buds - 26 grams of popcorn/smalls - 35 grams of quality buds Also had about 52 grams of shake which I plan on making using to make edibles and a solid pile of kief. The Blueberry is already looking much better but I blame the density issues on having to flip into 12 hours of light for the Blueberry to go into flower.

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! 🌡️ 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. 💧 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. 🌱💚 🌍 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! 💚🙏 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! 💚🌱 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. 🌿💡 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. 💚💚💚 Growers Love everyone 💚💚💚

Vegetative Week 6 – Pineapple Upside Down (Round 2) This week confirms a full recovery in vegetative growth. The plant clearly regained vigor and momentum. Growth is strong, foliage is dense, and overall structure looks healthy. Internodal spacing is noticeably tight, resulting in a very compact and bushy plant. This could be influenced by the full-spectrum lighting, which appears to promote dense vegetative development. Although topping or defoliation was considered, no structural work was done this week. The priority is to let the plant continue growing naturally and fully stabilize before any training or shaping. Nutrition remains unchanged from the previous week. The nutrient solution is maintained around EC 1.4–1.5, with pH close to 6.0. The plant is responding well, showing no signs of deficiency or stress. While some time was lost earlier in the cycle due to initial issues, the delay is clearly less significant than in the previous run. Progress has improved, and this recovery phase highlights areas to refine in future germination and early-stage management. This week ends on a positive note. The plant looks healthy again, and the focus moving forward is simply to let her grow and maintain consistency. See you next week. Take care. -Update: 04/02/26- •Structural work update: Today, a full structural intervention was carried out on the plant. Defoliation, topping, and pruning were all done in one session. The plant had become too bushy and overly dense, with poor airflow and excessive humidity trapped inside the canopy. To correct this, the structure was reset: four lateral branches were selected and kept, while the main apexes were topped to start defining the future shape of the plant. At this stage, the goal was not refinement but foundation. This intervention marks the beginning of the plant’s final structure, or at least the first clear step toward it. A significant amount of foliage was removed, leaving the plant with much less leaf mass than before. The work is now finished, and no further cutting is planned for the moment. From here, the plant will simply be left to recover from the stress of this heavy intervention. The focus now shifts to recovery, stability, and healthy regrowth.
