Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. The plants look great. Little bit of thrips damage, but other wise, they look great. Started flushing on Sun. They'll get ph adjusted tap water twice a week... with the run off, draining back into the reservoir. Plant #1 smells like lemon with some mango hints. plants #2 and #3 smell fruity with citrus hints. Will start the harvest on Aug 11th and it should take about 5 days to harvest or maybe 6. It depends on how tired I am and if I need a nap on one of those days to keep my energy up. I also put the buds into curing bags after 3 days hanging, which takes up more time. I've got some other plants to put in their places. and that will take us up to Oct. for that harvest. It's the Mac and Crack Diary. This is the last of Weirdo #8 and I will put more weird comics in my next diary. Check out my other diaries for more weird comics. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

5/24 Woke up on payday to find that my father is in the hospital. My house was robbed a few days before so I guess the hits keep coming. The plants are doing good though. I'm glad I kept them in as we had a frost last night. I moved my cage yesterday onto the asphalt and put the big pallet in. I just need to sanitize the others before they go in the cage. I'm being super cautious. I think tomorrow will be the day I make the switch to the garage while they fill out these 3's.OK. 5/25 Plants were all moved to the garage with the door open for indirect light. It's 54 degrees. At night I'll pull them back in and give them a few more hours under the hps which will also help with heat. Knocked a stem sideways but it'll pop back. Feels good to get things moving. HST seems to being going good. UPDATE: Went back over at one and noticed that the plant I hit with a wire (or something I didn't see what happened) was almost sideways and really loose. I had tied it to a clip with flagging. That didn't work. I asked a friend and I ended up pinching off the first true leaves then mounded happy drug up around it to keep it upright. It LOOKS much happier. Of course that shit happens to your biggest healthiest plants. Oh well all the 10th planet are doing phenomenal. Can't wait to move these girls to there final homes. Plants went under lights at seven. I'm acclimenting them to the right light schedule. I don't want to jump from 18/6 to 15 hours. They did really good in the cold Temps and wind. The big one I had to fix looks like it's doing great. Once they are hardened and fill these pots they go in their final home. 5/26 Plants did great being in direct sunlight for a few hours and staying in the garage at night. They look super healthy. I'm planning on watering tomorrow. Wondering if I should start to add some silica to strengthen the stalks. Also wondering if I should add more soil to some of the pots like I did to the other one as the stretched a little. This is something I may do tomorrow before I water. Went back over to switch the lights on and pull the plants back and lock up at 7:30. Forgot my phone of course and these girls were looking amazing. I have to water tomorrow. I coukd add more soul to some of the pots but I'm reluctant due to stem rot. They'll get buried much deeper in there final homes. Don't want to mount up soil and then water and promote rot. Anyway plants are adapting amazing. Dialing the light closer to normal here. This is a great transition place for them to he. I've noticed a few wrinkled leaves but thats to be expected. Oh, I got my free pure Michigan seeds from premium cultivars!!! 5/27 WATERED EVERYTHING TODAY WITH HALF A Powerade BOTTLE APPROX. 16OZ. Plants are in direct light in the mornings and I haven't seem any burning yet. I noticed a small spot on one of the first true leaves but I think it's just a bite from an insect. Everything is green as hell. I'm wondering if I should add fresh soil to the pots but I didn't want to do it on a watering day. Plus the plants will be going in there final homes shortly. Very happy with progress this far. UPDATE Went over at 1230 and everything looked great. I sanitized the cage AND the pallets. Also bought 3 more 30 gallon grow bags. Once they go in there they will explode! I can't wait. I'm considering ordering netting for moths. Depending on price i might get some. If not I'll keep using the BT. UPDATE: Went and checked around 430. Temps were in the 70's and they had a few hours of direct sun. No burns evident as of yet. Pallets fit in the cage like puzzle pieces. Now I need to sanitize my grade stakes bamboo and trellis and setthat stuff up. I'm going to screw the grade stakes to the pallets and attach garden rods and bamboo with zip ties and I'll have a horizontal trellis. Once branches are a little bigger I'll begin LST. The plants that I topped AND the ones I FIMed are doing great. The FIMed ones with at least three colas some have four. Hoping the plants took that time growing roots. 5/28 Plants are all standing up tall. They loved that water. Haven't noticed any burns and they get direct sunlight in the mornings. Soon I can put them in the cage and start setting up my trellis and supports. Fan leaves on soms are bigger than my hands. These girls are probably the healthiest plants I've grown. I usually do clones and end up starting with problems. This is great starting with seeds and have no problems. UPDATE: Went back around two because Temps had reached 92f and rh was only 20%. Nights cool off greatly so it's a dramatic temperature shift. Plants looked great. All standing up looking great. Put plants in at 7:30 ,and continue the light until 9 and have it turn on at 4am. Then they are out by sunrise. Did notice some burning on one of my plants a large fan leaf. What can I say? It was extremely hot. I'm surprised they did as well as they did. 5/29 Everything standing up perfectly looking great. Plantscget an extra hour of sun at night and morning and are on 19/7 with the extra added light. Trying to acclimate and finish hardening off this week. I'd love to be able to at least put them in full sunlight for the day. I think they'd be fine. I'm really impressed with how they are growing. Second guessing not HST all of them. However I think I might light dep a couple. We'll see. I've still got work to do. UPDATE: put the plants in around 7. One of my lights shit the bed. They are just 150 watt hps but I was using them to finish hardening off my plants and slowly adjust them to the natural light. The on/off switch fell off. I'm sure my cousin can fix it bit the one is pe9bably fine as I'm only going fir a few more days. The thing about having this many plants to choose from is that I can pheno hunt and put the VERY best into the final containers and if I decide too I could light dep. 5/30 WATERED EVERYTHING TODAY WITH HALF A POWERADE BOTTLE. My cousin can probably fix the other light but I don't think it will matter. Within a week I'm going to have these girls in their final homes. I just need to sanitize the trellis and posts and then screw them to the pallets. I'll have this all taken care of before the plants go in the hole. I did notice another burn on a leaf. Def glad I'm taking the time to do this right. UPDATE: I put the girls in the barn around 7:30 and flicked the one 150 watt HPS light I have working on. I added a half hour more of darkness to try to acclimate them quicker. Light stays on until 9 qnd came back on at four but i changed it to 4:30. I'm usually there by 5. I'm looking through my surveillance cameras and it doesn't even look like the light is on. Of course its super bright out but I should be able to see from that image. Luckily the building the go in has massive windows up top to let light in and windows on every side so the light is probably unnecessary. However due to my bullshit luck last year I'm being as cautious as I can. Tomorrow is supposed to be extremely hot again as is the next day. I think I'll leave the door down a little, open the other and move the plants back so they have no direct sunlight and adding a fan. That way they can continue to recover. They seem bigger everything I see them. 5/31 Another hot day. I figure a few more days (under a week) and I can transplant these girls! Supposed to be 85 today and 90 tomm. It was 45 when I got here. These girls are doing well handling this bipolar weather. UPDATE: IM AN IDIOT AND THIS IS AN 8 DAY WEEK lol. Maybe I'll do a six day week next time to get back on track. Went back over at two and noticed some burns. Sent a video to a friend andcwith the sun we've had and the weather in the 90's he agreed the damage was minimal. However there was someone there working who opened more doors which let a lot more light in. It's supposed to be in the 90s tomorrow too. I may leave the doors shut. There are windows on everyside and an enormous cone at the top so the get plenty of sun. He also grows and I've been careful to not let anyone that grows go around my plants. I'm going to have to talk with family about this. To be honest I'm kinda pissed. Next watering I may add some kelp me kelp you and start a small nute regimen. UPDATE Went back over at seven after having a panic attack. Half stoned half asleep. Stupidly I was looking at a plant and thought "shit" the FIM must not have took but in reality I was just stoned and tired so I topped a plant that had already been fimmed so we'll see how that goes. Purple punch is so far behind everything else it's not even funny. There might be one that's doing pretty well and that of course is the one with no HST. Branches on the other strains are thick and ready for LST though. What I think I'll do is transplant the 10th planets and the blueberry cheese ones that are ready and hold off on the rest for a while. Hopfully I'll be able to show plants in final homes next week.

🌱 Week 1: The Journey Begins! 🌟 Hey Grow Fam! šŸ™Œ 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! šŸ¦šŸˆ 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. šŸ”§ 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 šŸŽ©āœØ, 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! šŸ˜‚šŸ’§ 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. šŸŒæšŸ’§ 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! šŸ’š 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. šŸ™ 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! šŸŒæšŸ”„ Growers Love to All šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸ’š 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! šŸŒ±šŸ’” Growers Love to All šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸ’š

Did LST and topped Pheno 1 & 2, 3 is too funky to mess with. I think PH was just my issue and possible too high intensity light as I lowered to 60%, but also brought my PH to 6.5 so I'm guessing that helped too.

70 days from seed!!! wow I just confirmed once again that Zamnesia seeds are not bad :) the girl is growing really well despite the lack of space, high humidity, the girl just ignores all this and does not pay much attention to it and focuses all her energy on the maturation of the flowers, which are really very stiff ;) Plagron nutrients also worked flawlessly throughout her growth, this is my first growth with these nutrients :) I am happy that they are there, I will definitely use them in the future :) well, there is not much left until the harvest, Good luck to everyone in the competition and in your cultivation :).

Week 2 starting with gsc putting out begging of pistils with others shortly behind I'm sure as it is day 10 since 12/12. on day 11 flower pistis are visable on blueberry and girlscout cookies. On day 13 OG Kush has pre flowers just waiting on blueberry muffin which were planted more recently than the others.

Resin is increasing and looks like bud sites are ready to start putting on some bulk. Issue with low ph drift reaching 5.2 so I decreased 50ppm with distilled water without calmag to soften the water and counter the drift. After decreasing ppm, ph drift continues, so I flushed for 2 days with distilled water and added back nutrients at half strength to increase to 800 ppm over time.

Week 11 - Sixth Week of Flower The Donutz tent has officially entered the ā€œsit back, water, and enjoyā€ phase. With all the hard work done, it’s now a matter of letting the plants do their thing and watching the magic unfold. Key Updates: Steady Growth: The buds are stacking up nicely, with the purple phenos becoming even more vibrant and the other plants continuing to bulk up. Even the thinner phenos are starting to show signs of filling out as they settle deeper into the flowering phase. Stable Routine: Watering with reverse osmosis (RO) water remains consistent, and the tent environment is running smoothly with no changes needed. Observations: The trichomes are sparkling more each day, covering the buds and sugar leaves with a frosty layer. The aroma is intensifying, filling the space with a sweet, rich fragrance that’s impossible to ignore. The canopy looks uniform and healthy, a testament to the early defoliation and training work. Next Steps: Simply monitor the plants, ensuring they stay hydrated and happy. Enjoy the show as the buds continue to develop and the trichomes ripen. The Donutz are cruising toward the finish line, and the Florida Gang vibes are at an all-time high. It’s all about patience and appreciation now — the hard work is paying off!

Start of week 3 of flowering. This Blue Dream girl is hungry! She's needing more feeding each week, now up to 6 liters per feeding. Bud sites are developing nicely, added B52 to the feed this week too.
