Week 18 (Week 10 Flower) Grow Diaries Report – Part One: Wrapping Up the Journey
🌱 Pre-Harvest Reflections
This week has been a mix of emotions as we approach the final chapter of this grow. Let’s talk about why we made the decision to pre-harvest portions of the Gorilla Melon and Papaya Zoap. While both plants have been incredible performers, a few buds on each started showing early signs of bud rot. This is an unfortunate but natural challenge when growing such dense and resin-packed colas. The decision to harvest those sections early was made to protect the rest of the crop and ensure quality and integrity for the remaining flowers. Vigilance is key in a packed garden like ours, and careful monitoring ensured the rest of the room remained safe and thriving.
🌈 A Symphony of Colors and Frost
The grow room is a visual masterpiece this week, with shades of deep purples, vibrant greens, and golden hues taking over. The fading is absolutely breathtaking, showcasing the natural progression of the plants as they near the end. Combine this with the insane level of frost blanketing the buds, and it’s safe to say this is one of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever cultivated.
✨ Spectrum Management: The Secret to Stunning Results
The current lighting setup is a game-changer:
• 50% whites to maintain overall balance and structure.
• 100% reds for enhanced ripening and color development.
• 100% UVs to boost resin production and amplify those trichome levels.
The ThinkGrow LEDs paired with the TrolMaster spectrum control system have truly unlocked the garden’s full potential. Watching the plants sparkle under this setup feels like seeing stars on a clear night—magical and unforgettable.
🌟 Quick Recap: The Journey So Far
From seed to this incredible moment, this grow has been a testament to precision and passion. From germination to veg and through flowering, every detail was carefully tuned, every decision made with intention. Along the way, we navigated challenges like pests, mold, and environmental shifts, proving that adaptability and dedication are essential. And here we are, ready to bring this journey to a close with nothing short of perfection.
Week 18 (Week 10 Flower) Grow Diaries Report – Part Two: The Tools That Made It Possible
💡 ThinkGrow LEDs: These lights have been the heartbeat of the grow, delivering unparalleled spectrum control and efficiency. The ability to fine-tune every stage of the plant’s life cycle has been a game-changer.
🌬️ AeroFan System: Consistently circulating air while keeping the environment balanced and mold-free. The AeroFan’s role in preventing hotspots and ensuring even coverage cannot be overstated.
📱 TrolMaster System: The brain behind the operation, the TrolMaster system has provided unmatched control and precision. From monitoring temperature and humidity to dialing in lighting and CO2, it has truly transformed how I grow.
🏕️ Tent-X Setup: The foundation of the grow, this tent provided the perfect space for controlled cultivation. Its design maximized efficiency while keeping everything neat and manageable.
🌡️ Sensors and Monitors: Every parameter was tracked with pinpoint accuracy. From VPD to soil moisture, the sensors ensured every need of the plants was met in real-time.
Each tool, piece of gear, and setup component has worked seamlessly together, creating a true ecosystem of excellence. This grow wouldn’t have been the same without them.
Ending with Gratitude and Excitement
To the community: thank you for joining me on this incredible journey. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just tuned in, your support has been everything. From the lovers to the critics, you all push me to grow (pun intended).
To the sponsors: ThinkGrow LED, TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Pro-Mix Soil, and everyone else involved—your products are not just tools; they’re inspirations.
And finally, to these plants: you’ve taught me patience, resilience, and the beauty of the process.
🔥 Next Up: Stay tuned for the epic harvest and a deep dive into the final results, from trichomes to yields and beyond. The end is just the beginning of the next adventure. 🌟
Let’s finish this grow strong! 🌱✨ Growers Love.

Hello everyone, how is growing?
The plants recover well since I did the topping on them, they are looking very healthy and vigorous, with such beautiful leaves, nice shades of green without any sigh of any kind of food deficiency or disease. I will not defoliate them this week, only training them.
Day 30 - Plants were watered with 1L, I spotted with dark brown mushrooms on both after water them, I'll be checking more about and keep watching them close. I did introduce some basil seeds on them as well just for a trial, they already sprouted.
Day 31 - Training Day on them, the Plant 1 had a slow growth rate in on of the stems, however, it seems to being catching up okay. The plant two on the other hand had shown an amazing symmetric grow.
Both of them already starting to show slowly some sights of changing for the flowering stage, however, I'll keep the same light schedule for another week. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the results of the topping, the new ramification are strong and get even more exposed to the light.
Day 32 - I moved the fun leaves under the other stems, instead of defoliant them, so the stems can get more light.
Day 34 - The plants were watered with Bio Grow, Top Max and Bio Bloom

The plant is growing rapidly in flowering and is becoming very resinous with an intense odor.
It was fertilized again with the Greenhouse feeding (80g per 65L pot).
The lamp was turned up to 100%.
Since then, the edges of some leaves have curved slightly upwards.
Otherwise the plant has lush green leaves
And the lollipopping was well tolerated
Flowering day: 27

On week 2 the woolrock got some mohoo, i fixed it by putting water mixed with "safe roots" from Hydrotek directly into the rockwool superfice.
After a couple days that problem was solved and the plant kept growing very well.
And also i started to train the plants (lst)

Topped on wk
Seeing good growth at 3ml A & B, Cal mag
every other day directly injected into buckets.
added 1ml of bloom pk once for root health.
Some days I run 1 ballast at 400w while other at 600w to ensure a controlled stretch of growth
For vertical scrog.
Some of the other strains aren't looking as good as Poddy

Did some light LST, and a little more defoliation this week.
Looking great, but it is a challenge managing this many plants in a tight area. I wont do this many next time.
Switching to flower today 06/03

This strain is amazing. Super frosty and the buds are rock hard. I suggest wait an extra week at the end of flower before harvest. The buds really pack on new large calyx the last week. The First smaller one yielded 3.68 oz including all the sugar leaf trim shown in the sticky note Pic. Second larger pot yielded.....
I learned a lesson to use a bigger container for future grows. My smaller plant was small due to the 3gal container. My larger plant was in a 5gal and grew much better. My buds are much larger on the bigger container. I will be using minimum 7gal from now on. Smaller plant I harvested 2 weeks earlier and had 3.68oz dry. Larger plant 2 has wet weight of 630g.
I pulled clones from the larger one before flower to test pure organic nutrients and soil I'm am building against advanced nutrients and happy frog soil. New diary to come in the future with the comparison.

Day 29 (Second Grow):
"Hey everyone!
Starting a new week with some exciting plans! 🌿 We've got about one more week before we transition the plants to the flowering phase.
Just to recap last week's updates for those following along:
We’ve named all the plants in both grows. This makes it easier to identify and keep track of each one, especially if they get moved around. It should also help you all follow along more easily with the pictures we post.
We've built a SCROG (Screen of Green) net for the plants. A SCROG net helps train the plants to grow horizontally, which maximizes light exposure to all parts of the plant and promotes more even growth. We're using it to ensure all plants get plenty of light and develop a uniform canopy.
We’ve placed a hygrometer among the plants to measure the humidity between the leaves. We've noticed that the humidity sometimes exceeds 70% in those areas. We're considering whether we need more fans, an intake ventilation system, or if a dehumidifier would be a better option. We're leaning towards adding more fans to improve air circulation, but we'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to watch both grows progress and prepare for the flowering phase!"
Day 33 (Second Grow):
"Hey everyone!
Exciting news for our second grow: we’ve added a new member to the grow tent – a praying mantis! 🦗 Her species is Timor shield mantis, and she still needs a name.
We got her to help with pest control naturally. Praying mantises are excellent predators and can help keep unwanted insects away from our plants.
Feel free to suggest a name for her! Any tips or fun facts about keeping a mantis in the grow tent are also welcome!"
Day 34 (Second Grow):
"Hey everyone!
Big update today: we’ve switched the timer to a 12/12 light cycle to initiate the flowering phase! 🌸
Our second batch of plants, just like the first, has developed well and we believe they’re ready to start blooming. This change should encourage them to shift their energy towards producing buds.
For those following along, here’s a quick recap:
We've implemented a SCROG net to manage the canopy and ensure even light distribution.
We've introduced a Timor shield mantis for natural pest control.
The plants have responded well to all adjustments and are looking healthy.
Now that the flowering phase is starting, we’re excited to see how they develop over the next few weeks. Any tips or advice for optimizing this phase? Let us know in the comments!"

May 7: could have waited another few days but want to try raised beds with a few days of cold overnight happening soon. Forecast for next two weeks looks good to go outdoors for autos soon, but first we have three days with overnight at or just below zero. After Wednesday they can likely be outside most of the time.
May 10: bit of snow overnight.

The grow went pretty good! It sort of got out of hand during the stretch, and stretched way more than I wish it would. Top buds had some light stress at the end. One cola got mold the day before chop. Easy strain to grow, though the stretch really was too much for my little tent. Will update further once it is finished drying and curing.
