Week 16 Flower: Embracing the Flush & Celebrating the Shine 🌟
It’s week 16 of flower, and a pivotal moment in the grow journey! This week, we’re diving deep into the flush phase, a critical step in achieving those clean, flavorful harvests. 🌿 Switching over to just water with 0.5 ml/L of System Clean marks the start of what I like to call the “So Cal Flush.” We’ll break down the whys behind this practice, the benefits of flushing, and how it sets the stage for smooth, aromatic results. Let’s demystify this important phase together and make sure everyone feels confident implementing it in their own grows.
The Room is Glowing ✨
Every plant in the garden is unique, shining bright under the ThinkGrow LEDs! 🌈 Here’s the lineup of what’s happening:
• Green Papaya: The frost queen herself, dripping with trichomes, setting the frostiest example.
• Punch Pie: Claiming the crown for the fattest buds in the room—absolute monsters in size and density!
• Gorilla Melon: A beauty with mesmerizing red reflections dancing across her leaves.
• Papaya Zoap: Still stealing the show with snowy whites and pristine structure.
This week was a photographer’s dream—I pulled out my Sony and Nikon cameras to capture some jaw-dropping close-ups and unique angles. I’m sharing these shots to highlight the sheer diversity and beauty of these genetics.
Tech in Action: TM+ Pro App 📱
Let’s talk tech for a moment. The TrolMaster ecosystem paired with the TM+ Pro App has been an absolute game-changer. Capturing and sharing real-time data and alerts, it provides peace of mind and full control from anywhere. Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just starting out, this tool simplifies and elevates the entire experience. I’ll share some videos from the app this week to show exactly how it’s helping me stay on top of the grow like never before.
P.S. — A Word on the Ecosystem 🌐
The TrolMaster system is proving to be a standout solution for growers of all levels. Its intuitive design and easy configuration make it perfect for beginners, while offering the advanced customization and precision that experienced growers crave. Whether it’s managing lights, fans, or sensors, this ecosystem has you covered with simplicity and reliability.

Day 11 into flower, plant has transitioned quickly and didn’t stretch as much (thank God) as I thought it would heading into flower. It’s current size is 48 inches wide and 49 inches tall from the top of the soil.

Hello Growmies,
I'm thrilled to update you on the plant's progress! In the last week, she has beautifully filled out the scrog. Just yesterday, I flipped her into the flowering stage. This means I'll slowly increase her feeding, although I don't plan to go too heavy on the nutrients since she seems to prefer a lighter touch.
She's quite particular about her nutrients, requiring me to change the reservoir every five days. If I delay, she shows signs of distress on her leaves, but these issues resolve immediately after I refresh the reservoir.
While she's stretching in the preflower stage, I'll continue to guide her growth into the empty areas of the scrog screen.
Also, here's a special offer: use the code ZAMMIGD2023 at Zamnesia's online store to get a 20% discount.
Thanks for dropping by, and I'll share more updates next week!

Lotss of updates! Got a decent commercial LED 600w so just about same wattage as my last three lights but way more coverage and light penetration🙏 I dont have the dimmer so that might be needed as the babies get taller!
Ended up cutting about 6 clones from each plant. Just going to wait for a little recovery then im transplanting into 5 gallon for flower!

This is my first ever grow and thought I'd document and also seek advice.
Neurodivergent grower here, seem to have gone overboard for a first timer.
Running a drain to waste system through coco/perlite (70/30).
Using 1.2 gallon pots from The Bucket Company. Hooked to a water bubbler irrigation feed from reservoir.
The reservoir is a makeshift mobile chiller aha. Seemed a good a idea but could only hold 3-5 gallons at a time.
Will need to either fork out on a water chiller with bigger reservoir upgrade or think or something.
Under the reservoir we have the EZrun-off pump by The Bucket Company. Essentially a catch tray with a pump inside that automatically pumps the waste out to the desired location when maximum storage capacity is close. Mine runs just over to my kitchen sink.....when I can be bothered to make some holes underneath....I could hide the pipes and make it more stealthy via routing it to the drain pipe works under the sink cupboard.
Old drippers where replaced mid veg stage with Netbow halo drippers by Netafim. Achieved a much more uniformed saturation of the medium.
My nutrient of choice will be MegaCrop by Greenleaf nutrients plus additionals such as Orca mycorizhae and Myco Chum for the extras...
Popped seeds directly to riot cubes on 14/06/24.
3 days later we have sprouts.
Purple Stardawg x2
Runtz x2
Strawberry Cough x2

Not an overly impressive strain and I would say she was not that hard to grow. If I even grew this one again I would let it go naturally with some LST. Wanted more grape flavours but they don't really come through in the smoke. There's a bit of a sharp fruity smell that's sort of piney with a hint of fuel at the end. The smoke is not too flavourful in my opinion but that just means I didn't grow it well. Super tight nugs so be careful with humidity as stated above. Also she's a bit of a light feeder so be careful with your nutes. As you can see I burnt her tips and over fed her a lot. Not a bad yield though! I've only really smoked the lowers on this one so far so that gave me a bit of a racey high, just slightly racey. I would accredit that to the lowers not being mature enough at chop. The plant is super dense and since I mainlined it the lowers didn't receive enough light. I tried to let the lowers mature more but the plant stopped maturing when I chopped the tops, this caused stress and the plant just shut down basically. Not sure if I would grow Blimburn's GDP again until I grow the real GDP.

Her aroma is suuper citric and strong, beautiful strain to grow and very strong purple color, she's not gonna produce too much but like every girl in my garden she's gonna give top quality purple buds,the flowers are very sticky and frosty, can't wait to try her, she's got the exact same aroma as her sisters. So will see how she ends up performing on this diary peace 🌱💚✌️

Been away for more than a week so unfortunately missed week 3 of the diary.
During my absence baby girl grew well and became pretty big already, especially considering her state before.
Decided to try LST and brought down the top branch.
She starts to show couple of white hairs so next week should be the start of flowering.
Branch went up well on the next day after tie down. Removed larger leaves blocking the light, baby looks great.

So I had absolutely no ill effect on the plants at at all moving from the green buzz veg feed too the house & garden soil a&b feeds,
I did not even given them a water only inbetween the two,
I also went straight in with 50% the recommended dose stated on the house & Gardens bottles this switched happened the day before week 5 none showed any signed of defects or deficiency intact they exploded into life over night and then every day after that, I have been using the green buzz fast buds as a folar spry appied too the leaves of the early flower formation after lights out,
They seemed too love that too and I also kept the note roots going in,
I also started too apply C-RESULT at the fullbl dose stated on the bottle,
The plants live this stuff if you have not tried it do it,
I am not sponcered by c-result I was given this by my local grow store,
It brings all the nutrients straight too the roots it states,
All I know is this stuff triggers the plants too suck the pots dry in 24 hours,
So make sure you have your feed bucket fully in order before adding this stuff as a mistake here could cost you,
But get it right and in 24 hours these little autos doubled in size,
It states too used week one of flower only and smells like a sewer lol
I have today day one of week 6
Started too add house & garden
Bud XL at half strength too increase next week and also I added there top shooter at 1ml per liter of water as 7 as I plan too removed all chemicals exactly as of day 1 of week 7 leaving me week 9 clean, I am training all the shooting tips too my scrog netting the best I can due too very limited space in the grow space,
And am praying for some of the promised purple leaves on the fast buds Web site,
I has on lemon pie this round that is 2 weeks behind the rest due too non germination but I am wondering if a staggered planting each plant exactly one week behind each other would give me a little more canapé space and the treat of harvesting a plant every week,
Using the skyline 1000 only
I did not too any of these autos
2 x strawberry cheese cake
2 x lemon pie
4 x fyah
Sounds like a plan too me,
Thanks for reading
