Week 8 (17-3 to 23-3) 17-3 Temps: 17.4 to 21.9 degrees Humidity: 60% to 72% 18-3 Temps: 17.5 to 22.2 degrees Humidity: 54% to 65% 19-3 Temps: 17.9 to 22.4 degrees Humidity: 52% to 61% Watering: Both 500 ml. EC: 0.4 Watering: Both 1000 ml. EC: 1.4 Defoliated both plants and attached some shoots to the rack. 20-3 Temps: 18.2 to 22.8 degrees Humidity: 59% to 69% 21-3 Temps: 18.5 to 23.4 degrees Humidity: 57% to 67% Watering: Both 1000 ml. 22-3 Temps: 19.4 to 24.1 degrees Humidity: 55% to 67% Watering: Both 1000 ml. Set the strength of the light to 50% 23-3 Temps: 19.8 to 24.8 degrees Humidity: 58% to 67% Watering: Both 1000 ml. As you can see, instead of removing the leaves, i tucked down all the leaves to open up the canopy. I will see if i like this method as its the first time i try this. I also attached some more shoots to the rack, its looking nicely spread out now :)

I’m quite a novice when it comes to growing auto’s but I thought I’d give it a try after seeing the huge colas some people are producing online. To be honest I’ve never really been too scientific either about growing a bit of bud in the past. just recently I have been trying to research in order to gaining more knowledgeable information on how to grow big fat buds. After reading many reviews I decided to give the Hulkberry a try. Week1: 3rd Nov :Germinate seed sandwiched between cotton pads left on a warm surface. 5th Nov : successful germination. Showing a lovely thick root. Planted in a small pot of normal soil. 7th Nov : She’s popping out the soil. In between the Cotyledons she’s Displaying her first set of true leaves already. 8th Nov : she’s looking beautiful, standing to attention. I placed her on the kitchen window sill to enjoy the morning sunshine. 1.5 cm tall 9th Nov : looking great, placed back on a warm surface. I need to get my tent set up lively at this point. 10th Nov : Got the tent set up. I had a bit of a crazy moment and wanted to experiment a little even with the minimal knowledge I have about it. I used a bit of fresh normal compost, a bit of old used compost, a small amount of worm castings, some chopped up vegetables and around 5/10 red tiger worms from my wormery. I kinda hope everything will be ok

🌱 Week 2 Report: The Journey Evolves 🌱 Grow Fam, the adventure is in full swing! 🌟 The Gorilla Melon from Fast Buds is out and shining its light, and the Papaya Zoap has made its debut in the Cannakan, bringing with it a story that adds even more depth to this incredible run. When the universe speaks, we listen. 🍈✨ I didn’t plan on popping Papaya Zoap from Sweet Seeds just yet, but sometimes things just have a way of aligning. After a few other seeds didn’t germinate, I felt an inner pull toward this special strain. As it turns out, the universe had something beautiful in mind! Just days later, my brother @daggadna also began germinating the same genetics—gifted to us during Spannabis. Was it a coincidence? I don’t think so. 🌱 This is more than just a grow now—it’s a journey with purpose, guided by synchronicity and connection. I can already feel the magic building up with this one, and I can’t wait to see where this road takes us! Now, onto the Papaya Zoap… something tells me this plant is going to take us on a ride we didn’t expect but absolutely needed. 💚 Let’s make something incredible, Brother Dagga—this one’s going to be legendary. Gear Updates: All Systems Go 🚀 This week, everything’s dialed in perfectly with the TrolMaster system. Shout out to the incredible DSH-2U Humidity Station! 🌬️ This tool is giving me precision control over the RH (relative humidity) ranges in the room, keeping the environment just right for my babies. Having that accurate readout and control allows me to maintain optimal levels for each stage of growth. It’s like magic—you plug it in, set the desired ranges, and let it do its thing! 🌡️ By monitoring and adjusting humidity levels on-the-fly through the TrolMaster app, I can ensure the environment remains stable, and that means happier plants and healthier growth! No more guessing games. From anywhere—whether I’m working in the garden or chilling out—I can track and tweak it all. Heck, I could be on the toilet and still have complete control over my room! 😂 The AMP-3 Precision Meter has been running 24/7 in my water solution, giving me real-time updates so I can make any corrections when needed, right from my phone. This tech has taken my grow to another level. ✨ Nutrition Update: Keeping It Balanced 🍃 As for feeding, we’re sticking with the basics to give the plants what they need, without overloading. Right now, I’m running: • Regulator: 0.15ml/l • Startbooster: 0.25ml/l For now, I feel like this is the sweet spot—just enough to encourage root development and early growth without overloading them. I’ll be adjusting the feed as we go deeper into the grow, keeping an eye on how they respond. You know me, always tweaking and improving along the way! Shoutouts & Gratitude 🙌💚 Huge love to everyone following along—whether you’re here on Grow Diaries, over on YouTube, or on IG. Your support keeps this journey alive, and I am so grateful for every comment, like, and message! Special shoutout to my sponsors for fueling this project: • 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 More to come soon, and you won’t want to miss it! 📺 I’m also documenting everything on my YouTube channel, and I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes content on IG, so hit that subscribe button and follow along. Let’s grow together, fam! Growers Love to All 💚 The love and support from the grow community is something I never take for granted. This journey wouldn’t be the same without all of you! I’m so honored to be part of this amazing community, and I can’t wait to share more updates and insights along the way. Remember, this isn’t just about growing plants—it’s about growing together. 🌱 Until next time, stay positive, stay inspired, and keep pushing forward! This week’s shoutout is dedicated to the synchronicity of life, my growing community, and of course, Papaya Zoap and Gorilla Melon. Let’s see what magic we can create together! #HighFrequency #PositiveVibesOnly #PapayaZoap #GorillaMelon #TrolMaster #InBalanceWithNature #GrowLife #AptusTruePlantScience #GrowersLove

Hey yall! Happy New Year!!! 😊 🎆 🎇 🌟 🤩 Hope yall are having a great Holiday season. In an attempt to finish this harvest early, as stated previously, I am switching to 12/12 lighting for the flowering period this week! Super stoked as the girls are looking good and have a canopy that is mildly acceptable to me, if I had more time and a larger tent, and not a baby on the way I would veg more. But it's all good, because I wasn't the most confident in Beaver Seeds, although their genetics looks good, there are so soooo many great breeders out there. Anyways I topped the shorter girl early this week and topped the taller girl just about 3 days ago, she has recovered enough for me to feel comfortable to switch to flowering. Also the leaves on my tall girl's right side was getting burnt from my humidifier being too close and the moisture droplets started to fry under the bright LEDs. Temperatures are almost always fluctuating, that and trying to maintain an ideal VPD has been most struggling. Although I haven't dialed in my grow area, and changed where I was growing twice. Get it dialed! Get it dialed! I did at Fermented Irish Sea Moss, I obviously did not collect this from the ocean since I am nowhere near Ireland. But I had it on hand and it was going to waste. Use what you have locally or what would go to waste. Also made some new Fermented Aloe, very easy and I highly recommend it! Also just ordered a C02 meter, adding some DIY C02 with yeast, water and baking soda. Will let yall know how effective it is and get back to you on recipe info. Please ask questions, always room for more conversation! Peace and Love, The Fatty McCoy

Moin moin liebe Leute erstmal Entschuldigung das ich Woche 8 nicht hoch geladen habe, hab einfach den Kopf zu voll zur Zeit der grow läuft an sich ganz gut alle 2 Tage muss ich die Arme der okto moms neu anpassen mit der Höhe damit die Äste einiger maßen auf gleicher Höhe bleiben. Hab zusätzlich heraus gefunden was die Flecken auf den blättern verursacht ich hab die ganze zeit extract und bat boost gleichzeitig genutzt dabei werden die Zusätze getrennt benutzt (ich depp wieder) extract für vegi phase und in blüte umstellen auf bat boost naja die okto moms leben und gedeihen werde die tage auch auf 12/12 licht plan umstellen und somit ist dann auch die Hälfte des grows schon wieder rum euch noch ein schönen Sonntag meine homies und growmies

3rd week,not much has changed. It's starting in its 3rd node and depending on how much growth there is this week I may start LST

3 semana en flora de las autos las demás están empezando a florecer algunas más rápidas que otras pero todo muy parejito

terminamos la segunda semana desde el cambio de ciclo a 12/12. Las plantas han conseguido rellenar todo el espacio disponible y se le ha realizado un leve defoliacion de no mas del 5% total de vegetacion, ahora deseando que llegue el dia 21 para hacer la defolacion de bajos

To update, just keeping photos up to date...

Saturday, 19/02/2022 All plants looking OK. I realised I had no clear plan as to what I would do with the plants I LST'd so I removed the ties today. I really prefer the symmetry of mainlining so that is what I will be going for, specifically, quadlining. Plants showed no ill effects to Cytokin treatment (drench and foliar at same rate) and seemed to like it. Fed on 15/02/2022 with 10ml/gallon CAB and 5 ml/gallon Real Growers Recharge (RGR) on 17/02/2022. No ill effects to RGR and plants seemed to like it. Ph'd with 1.5 ml/gallon Evergrow Ph Down Sulphur on the 17th, not sure about the 15th, I may have used rainwater. Top of soil and actual soil at depth was moist today so I did not feed but at this moment, 2:34 PM, there has been significant rainfall for the past hour. Really need to get a rain gauge. Apart from the pots being on bare soil (need to get them off bare ground with large saucers, blocks, stepstones or something similar). I really don't mind the rain because I think the "natural" water will be good for the beneficials introduced by the Recarge and subsequently the plants. As I move the plants what seem to be whiteflies immediately flit about. Really, really need to get going on IPM!😣 5:13 PM, Saturday, 19/02/2022 Raised pots off ground with plant saucers. Treated pots, soil cover and plants with dusting of Insect Powder.

Week 6 for the gorilla gas has finished up. These girls are showing their phenotypes and it's awesome. 3 different plants. One tall and lanky, one in the middle and one runt. All smell amazing. Finished up giving it bulk of the nutrients now it's a downward slope from here. Gradually decreasing every day till flush. Looking forward to the harvest!!!

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Apple Fritter de RoyalQueenSeeds, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte de prietas se ven bien resinosas. a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, es algo complicada cultivarla pero merece la pena si eres cultivador con experiencia no te será problema cosechar. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Critical x Animal Cookies just got switched to ph water 4 days ago. I have her schedule to harvest in about 8 days. She grew well under the Hortibloom Solux 350. It was grower error that she is small. I will still get some frosty buds from her. Everything is looking great. Thank you Hortibloom, and Ripper Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏻❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Big girl :)

Gorilla Zkittlez Auto is a true work of art among autoflowers. With its powerful, dense buds literally dotted with 'sugar', each stage of growth of this plant is pure eye pleasure. The scent she exudes is as delicious as her taste-sweet, with fruity notes, promising an unforgettable delight. This beauty not only looks great, but also gives a strong, powerful effect that both relaxes and cheers up. Special thanks for this outstanding variety of 42Fast Buds, and, of course, Xpert Nutrients-your fertilizers made such impressive results possible. Each stage of growth was perfect thanks to this tandem. This variety is a real miracle for any grower! Xpert Nutrients is the fertilizer that truly makes a difference! 🌱 From the very start of our grow, Xpert Nutrients has proven itself to be exceptional. Every plant receiving this nourishment flourishes—from strong roots to dense, trichome-covered buds. With its balanced formula and ease of use, our beauties get everything they need for optimal growth and flowering. It’s a joy to see how the plants respond to this fertilizer! A huge thank you to Xpert Nutrients for your high-quality product and continuous support. Without your nutrients, our results wouldn't be as impressive! 🙌

Really happy with the rate of growth. Both plants responded well to training and have bushed out pretty well. Going to let them stretch out from now on. God's Vagina has finally shown she is a female! Both plants are now growing at roughly the same speed.

Plants need to be spread out more and more lights need to be added. 2 days later plants spaced out and more light added

Journal de Culture : Frost 1 – "Dora" (Fin de Floraison & Passage au Rinçage) ​Génétique : Frostbanger (F2 Perso) | Système : Autopot 20L ​📣 Remerciements Un immense merci à toutes les personnes qui suivent ce journal depuis le début ! Un merci tout particulier à @MIA_BIOTABS et à Mrs_Larimar pour leurs précieux conseils et leur accompagnement. Merci à tous pour votre soutien ! 🛠️ Configuration Technique & Climat ​Éclairage : Lumatek ATS 300W Pro (réglé à 100% depuis hier) ☀️ (Plein régime pour la phase finale !) ​Distance lampe/canopée : 50 cm ​Climat : Jour : 25°C / Nuit : 21°C ​Humidité (HR) : Contrôlée via déshumidificateur ​Tente : 1m80 de hauteur ​📅Évolution & Entretien : Trichomes laiteux, structure en épi de blé et top départ du rinçage ​Morphologie et état des fleurs : Hauteur : Se maintient à 84 cm (la structure est définitivement figée, toute l'énergie va dans la maturation). Aspect des têtes : Les bourgeons sont gros, denses, bien verts et compacts. Ils promettent d'être très lourds sur la balance. La structure des fleurs évolue de manière très esthétique en "épis de blé", les calices se gonflent et s'empilant les uns sur les autres. Résine et trichomes : Les trichomes sont désormais bien laiteux au microscope. Le givre de résine enveloppe superbement les bourgeons et les petites feuilles de sucre. 💦 Nutrition & Gestion de l'eau Hier (Dernier repas) : Application du tout dernier apport de Bio PK 5-8 (Biotabs). Dora a reçu son ultime boost de phosphore et de potassium pour verrouiller la fin du gonflement. ​Aujourd'hui (Transition Rinçage) : Coupure définitive de l'arrivée d'eau de l'Autopot. ​Stratégie : Je passe effectivement en mode manuel pour un rinçage de 14 jours. L'objectif est maintenant de pousser la plante à puiser dans ses dernières réserves, à consommer les nutriments stockés et à déclencher doucement sa sénescence à l'eau claire pour obtenir une herbe au goût le plus pur possible. ​Le travail de maturation final commence sous les 300W à 100%. Dora est parée pour ses deux dernières semaines de vie à l'eau claire ! ​À bientôt pour la suite et les prochaines étapes avant le cut !

We have lift-off! She has stretched her little heart out this past week. This growth spurt inevitably came with a load of foliage, so I've been defoliating through the week - just a little each day - to keep the airflow nice. She is loving the Bud Explosion. Bud sites are starting to swell up nicely, and the fragrant aroma is getting more and more every day, quite zesty, very citrus. More lemony than orange at the moment, but still early days. The first hint of frost is beginning to set in, and she is looking a very healthy plant, hopefully should get some nice trichome production. This is my first photo-period plant, and in all honesty it's gone a lot smoother than some of the autos I've grown! No deficiencies, no pH or EC issues, no heat stress :) I deliberately gave it a long veg time so it didn't feel rushed, but moving forward I wouldn't want to have 1 plant taking up that much space for that long. SOG might be the way to go, but that's for another day. Current feeding: CalMag: 0.5ml / liter Megacrop: 5.5 grams / gallon Bud Explosion: 1.5 grams / gallon Will be running PK 13/14 for a week, probably starting some point this week when I next need to change the res. pH is currently 6 in the res, rising to 6.1 / 6.2 in the autopot tray. Let's see what this week brings :) Happy growing.

* harvest: 8 weeks veg. 60 days flowering * pot size: 10liter air-pot * dry bud yield: 59gram * Appearance: the most frosty buds i have ever seen in my life. Its shining like a diamond. I could look at them all day * Bud density: 10/10 * Aroma : smelling like gas with a mix of ripe peaches * Taste : damn the peach terps are insane on the inhale, a strong gas taste on the exhale * Potency : 10/10 * Kind of high: next level strong, like you are smoking extracts * Colour of thrichs at time of harvest: 20% amber 80% milky * Drying time: 10 days in the dry tent, curing 10 days * Good comments: This has to be the frostiest plant i have ever grown, the trichome/resin production on this plant is insane and never seen before. Also one of the prettiest plants i have grown, the leaves turned out completely dark purple/black at the end of flower. The terpenes on this plant are incredible. Im super impressed by this seedbank and i will definitly grow more from them. * bad comments: this pheno wasnt a heavy yielder but thats ok, quality over quantity
