## Week 4 Update: Thriving Growth and New Techniques! ### 🌱 Vigorous Growth with Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze, Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush, and Blueberry Muffin 🌱 Welcome back to another exciting update on my grow journey with Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze, Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush, and Blueberry Muffin. The plants are thriving under optimal conditions, and I’ve started experimenting with new techniques to maximize their potential. --- ### Diary Snippet: Advanced Techniques and Optimal Conditions In Week 4, the plants are growing like weeds thanks to maintaining high PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) and optimal temperatures in the grow tent. These conditions are essential for maximizing photosynthesis and ensuring vigorous growth. --- ### Techniques Applied: LST and Defoliation #### Low-Stress Training (LST) This week, I applied Low-Stress Training (LST) for the first time. By gently bending and tying down the branches, I've created a more even canopy. This technique helps to: - **Increase Light Exposure:** Ensures all parts of the plant receive sufficient light. - **Improve Air Circulation:** Reduces the risk of mold and pests by allowing better airflow between the branches. - **Boost Yield:** Promotes the development of multiple colas, potentially increasing the overall yield. #### Defoliation In addition to LST, I also began defoliation, selectively removing some fan leaves to: - **Enhance Light Penetration:** Allows more light to reach the lower parts of the plant. - **Stimulate Growth:** Encourages the plant to focus its energy on bud development rather than foliage. --- ### Nutrient Management: Increasing Plagron Dosage As the plants grow, their nutritional needs increase. I've started to gradually increase the dosage of Plagron nutrients, following a careful schedule to prevent nutrient burn. Key benefits of Plagron nutrients include: - **Balanced Nutrient Profile:** Provides essential macro and micronutrients for robust plant growth. - **Improved Soil Structure:** Enhances the soil's ability to retain water and nutrients. - **Enhanced Flavor and Aroma:** Contributes to the development of rich, flavorful buds. --- ### Technology in Action: TM+ Pro App and TrollMaster To maintain and monitor the optimal growing conditions, I'm utilizing the TM+ Pro App and TrollMaster system: #### TM+ Pro App The TM+ Pro App has been invaluable for tracking and adjusting the environmental conditions in real-time. Key features include: - **Remote Monitoring:** Allows me to keep an eye on temperature, humidity, and light levels from anywhere. - **Data Logging:** Records environmental data for analysis, helping to fine-tune the growing conditions. - **Alerts:** Sends notifications if conditions deviate from the optimal range, enabling quick corrective actions. #### TrollMaster The TrollMaster system is integrated with the grow tent to automate and control various aspects of the environment: - **Climate Control:** Manages temperature and humidity levels to ensure a stable environment. - **Lighting Automation:** Adjusts the light intensity and schedule to mimic natural sunlight patterns. - **Nutrient Delivery:** Automates the feeding schedule, ensuring the plants receive nutrients at the right time and in the right amounts. --- ### Spotlight on Blueberry Muffin 🌿 🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦 **Cannabis Strain Benefits** 🧐 🤓 Blueberry Muffin has been a delightful addition to the grow tent. This strain is known for its sweet, berry-like aroma and potent relaxing effects. It's been growing robustly alongside the other strains and is responding well to the advanced techniques applied. - **Parentals:** Blueberry x Purple Panty Dropper - **Type:** Indica-dominant Hybrid - **Flowering Time:** 8-9 Weeks - **Flavor / Taste / Smell:** Berry, Sweet, Earthy - **Effect:** Relaxing, Euphoric, Happy - **THC Content:** 18-22% - **Characteristics:** Dense Buds, High Resin Production The Blueberry Muffin plants are showing strong growth and developing beautiful, dense buds with a rich aroma. They are a bit more sensitive to defoliation, so I've been careful to remove only the necessary leaves to ensure optimal growth without stressing the plants too much. --- ### Looking Ahead With the application of LST, defoliation, and precise nutrient management, the plants are set for an impressive growth phase. The TM+ Pro App and TrollMaster system will continue to play a crucial role in maintaining optimal conditions. Stay tuned for next week's update as the plants progress and more advanced techniques are applied! Happy growing! 🌿💚

I started feeding liquid nutrients this week. Although I’m using Nature’s Living Soil Super Soil Autoflower Concentrate mixed with Fox Farm Ocean Forest—so technically I could water only until harvest—I decided to begin liquid feeding in Week 3 at half the recommended dose. I also have a Tray2Grow Autopot system for automatic bottom feeding, but I haven’t activated it yet. When using liquid nutrients via top feeding, I’d need to turn the Autopot system off and wait until the plants absorb all the water in the tray before feeding from the top. Afterward, I’d have to manually turn the system back on. That seems like a hassle compared to just hand-watering and feeding. I could technically add the liquid nutrients to the Autopot reservoir, but that somewhat defeats the purpose of the system. The tank holds 25 gallons—enough to last a few weeks—but if I want to change or rotate nutrients weekly, I’d have to dump the remaining water and remix the solution each time. If I wanted to feed nutrients every other watering, I’d be changing out the tank every 3 days. Plus, liquid nutrients can cause buildup, so I’d need to clean the reservoir and all the tubing regularly. For now, I’ll stick with hand-watering and top feeding. I’ll only switch to the Autopot system if I need to leave town.

Que pasa familia, vamos a comenzar con el próximo proyecto, Apple Fritter de RoyalQueenSeeds. Y que ganas tenia de empezarlo. Agradezco a James por la oportunidad de cultivar variedades así 💪. Y también agradezco a Agrobeta todos los kits obtenidos de ellos 🙏. Va pues al lío e germinado 5 semillas y germinaron en 48h, 5 de 5 unidades, un 100% de éxito en el ratio. Han sido Germinadas con Papel absorbente y un tupper para mantener la humedad, pasadas esas 48 horas, las coloque en macetas de 0.6L directamente en tierra. Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

DID SOME MORE MAJOR DEFOLIATION SO THE LIGHT CAN PENETRATE THE BOTTOM BRANCHES. NOT MANY LEAVES LEFT LOL. CHECK EM OUT NEXT WEEK TO SEE THEM HOPEFULLY EXPLODE FINALLY STARTING THE PHOTOPERIODS AND I HOPE MY TIMING IS GOOD FOR CHOPPING THE AUTOFLOWERS..........SEEDS PUT INTO THE SOIL ON JUNE 22ND. RUNNING OUT OF ROOM IN THE 8X8 TENT SO I PUT ALL THE PHOTOPERIODS IN THE 5X5 WITH A TSW2000. SOME FAN LEAVES ARE BIGGER THAN MY HAND NOW. SORRY TO EVERYONE WHO TRIES TALKING TO ME....I STILL CANT TALK TO ANYONE BECAUSE I TRIED CHANGING MY EMAIL ON HERE AND IT MESSED EVERYTHING UP. I CANT LIKE ANYTHING OR COMMENT ON ANYTHING. THE WORST IS I CANT JOIN CONTESTS STRIVE NUTRIENTS IS THE BEST IVE EVER USED. A MUST TRY AND I BUY IT MYSELF. GOT A SAMPLE LAST YEAR AND ITS SO GOOD I BOUGHT MORE. ITS A 2 PART POWDER NUTRIENT THAT DISSOLVES IN MINUTES AND YOU MIX THE SAME STRENGTH OF THE 2 PART NUTRIENTS FROM WEEK 2 UNTIL THEY ARE FINISHED (BESIDES THE FLUSH), NO MORE BULLSHIT OF SWITCHING TO BLOOM FERTILIZER. THATS MY FAVORITE THING BESIDES THE RESULTS. CHECK EM OUT AND BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ BECAUSE ITS NO BULLSHIT, AWESOME FRIENDLY AND HONEST PEOPLE

ABxRKO is about 42.5" tall, and has been top dressed with about 3tsp of grow dots to give it a phosphorus boost in flower HBSS is about 26.5" tall and has been top dressed with about 2tsp grow dots as I believe it is fighting a phosphorus deficiency. She is giving all the smells, a bright red starburst like fruity smell with a stark citrus note.

Seven days with this young Gorilla Cookies and she's hit the light running! Spending 36hrs in water, 36hrs in a paper towel, then 48hrs under the soil before popping her head up into the light. The light schedule I'm following is 20/4 under two 100w LEDs running around 80% at 650mm above the babies. They're receiving 150-200umol's at roughly 11-14 DLI. Organic medium and nutes so just watering in around 200mL of dechlorinated water at 6.6 pH per day. I figured I want to get this medium nice and moist for the microbes to thrive so I've been bottom watering 200mL extra every other day, with a gap day today as the pots are nice and weighty now. Welcome baby GC 🍪

Week 5 and PK deficiency has been corrected. Buds are building and feeds have been consistent at the high end of the maxi-bloom ratio - 2.5tsp/10L. Hopefully the higher pk strength doesn’t create any burn issues with the other, healthy plants. Some very light pruning but generally leaving them all alone. Current choice cuts are plants 1,3,4 in terms of overall resilience and moderated nute reqs. This is an all-important consideration before we also start looking at overall aesthetic pheno traits. At least for running the F3s when the time comes. This strain is proving a little more challenging to grow than expected.
