🌸 Week 4 Flower Report: Growth, Challenges & Big Changes! 🌸 Hey, Grow Diaries Fam! ✨ We’re here at Week 4 of Flower, and what a week it’s been—packed with challenges, adjustments, and exciting progress! Before diving into the details, let’s start with a note on my flowering timeline. While this is Week 4, I don’t start counting flower days the moment I flip to 12/12. Instead, I wait for the plants to show true signs of bloom. It’s a small but significant distinction that keeps things accurate and aligned with the plants’ development. 🌱 Defoliation: Timing is Everything! Defoliation is a critical part of the flowering stage, and I typically wait until Day 21. However, this week, I tackled it earlier on Day 17 because: 1️⃣ The room was simply too full. 2️⃣ And most importantly—the Papaya Zoap had other plans! She’s a fighter—determined, defiant, and constantly reaching for the moon. Despite intense training like super cropping, she’s still pushing upward, nearly outpacing the LED lights. Challenges like this remind us of a simple truth: gardening mirrors life. It’s about resilience, adaptation, and unwavering determination. 💪 This week, I added a second SCROG layer. While this net will support the flowering colas, it’s also there to strategically manage the Papaya Zoap. Why? Because experience has taught me that if she grows out of the LED’s range, she won’t finish properly—and that could disrupt the balance for every other plant in the tent. It’s all about teamwork, even in the garden. 🌟 Defoliation was intense, removing nearly all the leaves with stems to clear space and boost airflow. The tent now looks dramatically different! For the full before-and-after transformation, be sure to check out my YouTube channel—trust me, you’ll want to see this process up close! 🎥✨ Switching to Aptus Holland Minerals A major milestone this week: I’ve transitioned entirely to Aptus Holland Minerals. 🌊 From now on, it’s just minerals—no more organic inputs. This marks the start of a new chapter, and I’m incredibly curious to see how the plants react to these changes. Here’s the current nutrient mix: • System Clean: 0.5 ml/L • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L • RO Water Conditioner: 0.8 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid: 2.1 ml/L I’m keeping the pH at 6.1 and TDS at 556 ppm, and so far, the plants are thriving. This week also included a thorough system clean, ensuring everything runs smoothly as we enter the final flowering stages. 🌿 Bud Development: Pure Magic! The bud formation across all the genetics is nothing short of incredible. Every plant is thriving, and the canopy is lush, vibrant, and full of potential. I’ve raised the PPFD to 750 for this stage, with temps steady at 25°C and RH at 63%—keeping the VPD dialed in at 1.11. The TrolMaster ecosystem, paired with the AutoPots, makes managing these precise conditions seamless. With more time to focus on the plants, I can give them the daily care they deserve. 💚 Shoutouts & Gratitude A huge thank you to my sponsors and supporters: TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Pro-Mix, Cannakan, and the amazing seed banks.

Unlike traditional LED systems that project light in a single direction, the ICL-300’s 300-degree design ensures even light distribution beneath the canopy. 🌟 This unique feature means that no part of your plant is left in shadow, creating a balanced environment for lower buds to thrive. Key Tech Specs & Benefits: • 300-Degree Light Distribution: This design fills the under-canopy space with optimal light, enhancing photosynthesis where it often gets neglected. 🌱 • Full Spectrum Output: Tailored to meet the specific needs of plants at every stage, ensuring quality growth from base to apex. • Energy Efficiency: Advanced LED technology delivers maximum output with minimal energy usage, keeping costs down and sustainability up. 💡 • Durability & Heat Management: Built with high-quality materials, the ICL-300 stays cool and reliable, even in intense growing environments. Why It Matters: Under-canopy lighting is a game-changer for growers aiming to maximize yield and quality. Typically, lower buds receive less light, resulting in larfy or underdeveloped flowers. The ICL-300 changes that dynamic entirely by turning shadows into opportunity. 🌟 With light evenly dispersed across the entire plant, you’re not just growing; you’re sculpting a masterpiece. For me, the ICL-300 is more than a tool—it’s a partner in innovation. It ensures that every plant in my grow room has equal opportunity to shine, from the top colas to the smallest buds at the base. When paired with a carefully managed ecosystem, like the one powered by TrolMaster, the potential for consistent, top-quality harvests reaches new heights. This isn’t just about adding light—it’s about adding value, efficiency, and balance to the grow process. I’m beyond excited to see how the ICL-300 transforms the game in my tent, and I can’t wait to share the results with you all! 💚

Some leaf tip burn, either lights or nutes. Measured TDS@900 and moved the lights away a few cm.

what can i say, the smell of this girl is taking over the whole tent. she’s gorgeous and from the looks of it will be the fastest finisher in the tent. truly excited to try this one

Week 3 Update — Transplant & Early Veg Development Date: 11/12–11/17 Strain: Fast Diesel (IZI.Farm) Medium: Fox Farm Happy Frog + Gaia Green Amendments Light: Mammoth Nova Sun 950W Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Light & Environment Fixture: Mammoth Nova Sun Series 950W Settings: 50% total | 100% cool | 40% warm | 0% IR | 0% UV Previous PPFD: ~300 µmol/m²/s Light Adjustment (11/17): Lowered 6", increasing canopy PPFD to ~435 µmol/m²/s Temperature: 83°F Humidity: lowered to 65% RH Three phenos continue showing strong vegetative growth, while one runt remains smaller but healthy with no signs of stress or deficiency. A minor leaf-curling issue caused by airflow has been corrected. Considering relocating the driver outside the tent to help mitigate heat as the grow transitions toward flower. Transplant Details (11/12 — Day 21) All four plants were transplanted into 5-gallon pots. Soil Blend & Purpose Gaia Green 2-8-4: Supports root development and provides early phosphorus and potassium for the transition into flower. Gaia Green 4-4-4: Balanced nutrient source maintaining steady vegetative growth. Worm Castings (20%): Supplies organic nitrogen, microbial activity, and improved soil moisture retention. Glacial Rock Dust: Provides trace minerals and silica for stronger structure. Mykos: Mycorrhizae applied to the root ball to promote efficient nutrient uptake and early root expansion. Watering & Nutrient Breakdown Initial Watering (2 gal RO) ½ gallon per plant, pH 6.4 Silicium (1 ml)-Improves cell wall strength and plant stress resistance. Helps stabilize growth during and after transplant. CalMag (4 ml)-Replaces the calcium and magnesium absent in RO water and supports new growth development. Ruby Fulvic (10 ml)-Improves nutrient movement, chelation, and trace mineral uptake in the freshly amended soil. Pure Zym (8 ml)-Breaks down organic material and dead roots, converting them into available nutrients and keeping the rhizosphere clean. Rhyzium (2 ml)-Promotes rapid root establishment by adding beneficial microbes. Recharge (1 tsp)-Provides a strong microbial inoculation that enhances nutrient cycling and soil vitality. Feeding Log 11/15 — Light Microbial Feed 1 gal RO | pH 6.4 | 250 ppm Silicium (1 ml): Continued cell-wall support. CalMag (2 ml): Maintains Ca/Mg levels during early veg. Ruby Fulvic (5 ml): Increases nutrient uptake efficiency. Pure Zym (4 ml): Supports enzymatic root-zone activity. Photosynthesis Plus (6 ml): Adds beneficial microbes that enhance carbon metabolism and overall plant vitality. This mild feed kept the microbial community active while roots colonized the pot. 11/17 — Early Veg Support Feed 2 gal RO (½ gal each) | pH 6.4 | 250 ppm Silicium (1 ml): Helps support structural integrity as light intensity increases. CalMag (4 ml): Ensures steady Ca/Mg availability under higher PPFD conditions. Ruby Fulvic (10 ml): Maximizes micronutrient uptake and transport. Rhyzium (2 ml): Continues promoting root spread throughout the 5-gallon pots. Growth Notes & Plans All four plants have adjusted well to their new containers. Three phenos are vigorous; one remains a smaller but healthy runt. Increased PPFD from 300 to 435 has improved leaf posture, node spacing, and overall vegetative growth. Humidity reduced to 65% to match increasing canopy density and airflow needs. I tied down branches on 3 of the 4 plants on 11/20 to open their structure and prepare them for the upcoming stretch. The smallest pheno—the runt—was left untouched to continue growing vertically. It’s still healthy, just not meeting the overall standard of the garden. I’m giving it one more week to show improvement before deciding whether it stays in the run or gets culled. Flip Decision After monitoring growth, root establishment, and canopy development, the decision has been made to flip to flower on 11/26. This will give the plants enough time to fully settle into their 5-gallon pots while still maintaining a 4–5 week vegetative cycle.

Sto riportando tutto quello che ho appreso nella scorsa corsa, ora sono curioso di vedere che succede e come reagiranno le bimbe 💪🏽💚 se avete qualche Consiglio fatevi sentire! Questa cheese la adoro.

Hi all, Grow area updates: Nothing major far as area is concerned added Some yoyo’s to the net so it can be raised and lowered easily now. I also noticed I had been following ghp feeding schedule for a recirculating system when mine is drain to waste. Didn’t have in adverse effects on the plants at all actually think they loved it tbh. But I’ll notice the ppm difference on these future updates. I was using way more nutrients then what was needed. Now I get to save money lol. Blue dream auto: Def has the faint smell of flowering cannabis now. The branching power from the mixing blue dream and already branchy plant with the ruderalis is def perfect for a scrog set up when you trying to maximize the your yield off one plant. I had to visit the tent 3 times this week to re tuck her down. Did the last tuck Thursday so what you are seeing from the pics today is three days of growth. Crazy!!!! She sitting at about 900 ppm And that’s with cutting the the grow solution some. Master kush photo: She popped through the net mid this week and hit her first tuck under today. With how well she reacted to the femm job. I went ahead and topped on the new growth on each branch. Her branch structure is way more sturdy then autos for sure. Leaves are bigger as well. One is the size of my palm lol I have big hands so that’s awesome. She sitting at about 800 ppm and getting less bloom solution. I’d also like to add I appreciate everyone’s advice far as set up and temp control. It was above 100°F the last couple days. And tent never got over 85 and as soon as the hotter part of the day was over we where back in the 70’s. Ima smoke one for y’all! 🤘🏾 Until next time #StayKited

Go go go

Day 64 - Starting another week and she’s definitely frosting up pretty nicely. He being closer to the light is also helping her fatten up quite a bit. She’s looking amazing! She will be getting another two gallons of water either Sunday or Monday. Day 65 - She’ll be needing some water for sure tomorrow and will give her another light defoliation as well, some of the fan leaves are getting huge and blocking light. Day 66 - Should of gave her some water and nutes yesterday because she was seriously droopy today. She took another 2 gallons of water so she should be perked back up in a couple hours. Other than that, she is frosting up beautifully. Day 67 - She’s really been bulking up lately and she’s perked up after getting some water and nutes yesterday. Did a little defoliating today to get some of the giant leaves off and out of the way. She’s definitely still got a few weeks left so will continue feeding her nutes, at leas for the next couple of feedings and then see where she’s at. Day 68 - All still looks great and starting to smell kinda fruity. Other than that, just watching her chug along everyday. She’ll need some water on Friday. Day 69 - A lot of trichs are really clouding up and everything is looking great with this girl. She’s gonna have nice, fat and dense buds and can’t wait to harvest this girl. Will be giving her some water and nutes tomorrow, the pot is starting to get pretty light. Day 70 - She got her next feeding of nutes today. I thought she could probably go another day but last time I did that, she was really droopy so trying to avoid that.

We will see the dry product, weight in 1 week..

Plantas começando a mudar de fase , uma pré floração, vou aumentar a quantidade de fósforo na fertilização.

Good Day! So this week has been another excellent one in regards to the weather and growing. The girl have been enjoying high 20’s from 9am through until 9pm. My ‘big’ super skunk is flowering really well. I’ve removed some leaves to thin her out a little. She seems to have taken to that ok. I think I did underwater her yesterday and late evening sun crisped a few of her leaves. A big drink tonight. I have to say I’m really happy so far with how she’s turning out. The other super skunk has outgrown the ‘big’ one by 15 cm now and she’s doing really well. I might start a seperate diary for her. Snow Ryder is also coming along really well with her flowering. PLanted at the same time as the superskunk but id say she’s 1 week behind but obviously that’s nothing to worry about. One thing i have been thinking is popping a couple more seeds and seeing if I can squeeze it in. The weather has been so good this summer I don’t see the harm in trying. Short and sweet this week.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cosecha de estas Gorilla cookies Auto de FastBuds. Por dónde empezar, es una autofloreciente que es muy fácil de cultivar, tiene un periodo corto de crecimiento y de floración igual no es largo. En cuanto a la alimentación , pues la aplique una vez por semana y a sido suficiente, se a comportado muy bien en interior, la flor pues no es muy prieta porque no deja de ser una autofloreciente, pero es una flor que está bien explotada y que va repleta de tricomas. El periodo de luz pues de principio a fin a 18 horas, fue sucficiente para completar el ciclo de vida como esperaba.

I am very happy to have the opportunity to participate in this contest and I will put effort and passion into it when it comes to what I love to do! I will postpone the germination of these Runtz in about 2/3 weeks as soon as I have finished the current cycle...I can't wait to see this Green Sensation by Plagron as well as the girls in bloom will like it! We update very soon and good growth to all participants! Thanks to Zamnesia and Plagron! 🌱

Another week for the sweet seeds ladies to settle in and continue their recovery RED HOT COOKIE is looking a little worse for wear this week. I have explored the tank to see if that is an issue but all is as should be. I will retreat the root rot with some more silver bullet roots to bring the res back to sterile. Shebhas curled down claws which suggests too much N maybe?. I am assuming the root damage is a part of the issue too. I am frustrated to have lowed such a stupid error with the res heat and rotbbut thankfully the sweet seeds genetics are strong in the 2 in the tank and they are fighting now. SWEET AFGHANI DELICIOUS has had a better week with some vertical growth and plenty of recovering chlorophyll. She is still quite hardy stemmed and I would not attempt to do any bending at all. She will be allowed to grow out as she wants along with thebother ones in that tank. AMNESIA HAZE is a whole different game . Shebhas beena dream to work with and I could not advise growing this strain enough. Ideal for a new grower who needs a resilient and constant growing plant to learn with. I am in love.lol I have spent the last few weeks flattening her out and using the width I have now to keep her more lateral. She is around 3ft across now with so much planned growth to work with when I flip her. Inam hoping to make her a beastly girl to smash my personal best for a single plant. Her stems are nice and thick with a really nice Quad formed. She will be a lady to behold in full flower. Well done Sweet seeds.

Plant #3 chopped on day 72 Plants #1/2 have a bit longer to go

so, it is in the middle of week 7, it‘s flowering and seems to be doing well, despite some mistakes made.. indeed, having wanted to perform a lst, I accidentally broke one of the main branches, which implies less buds at harvest, but hey I am already satisfied with the situation. I noticed some brown spots and yellowing of some leaves, so I fed the plant with 1 ml of biobizz-biobloom. I'll let you know how it's evolving.

HARVEST DAY ! :)! - Lighters up! We gonna smoke this girls so hard. 140 gr dry successful harvest Next journey will start in 10 day. i will update here. Stay cool smoke hard see you. ;)

Harvested these two ladies on D75. I'm over satisfied with the result, unfortunately didn't weight the dry result but the smoke from these two are amazing. Been daily smoking it for the past 2~ months and I still got a good chunk left. #1 Came out with a skunky and a slightly chemical taste and smell. Super nice and strong smoke, you feel your eyes getting heavy after a couple puffs. Nice chunky nugs, big yielder even under only 150W. Super satisfied with the result. #2 Was surprising, garlic smell all over the place. During the drying process I felt a slight wild garlic smell, but after drying it became even more potent and smelly. Upon breaking these nugs the room gets filled with a potent wild garlic smell, which translates to a fresh potent smoke. One of my favourites so far, unfortunately my tent is too small to comfortably accommodate two plants and this one wasn't a particularly big yielder. Overall I'm VERY satisfied with my first Mephisto grow, amazing genetics, super resistant (had a couple weeks of very hot days, to which they handled amazingly). A success grow for me for sure. Next I'll try a photo strain, thanks for reading! :)
