🌱 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. šŸˆāœØ 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. šŸ’š Let’s make something incredible, Brother Dagga—this one’s going to be legendary. Gear Updates: All Systems Go šŸš€ This week, everything’s dialed in perfectly with the TrolMaster system. Shout out to the incredible DSH-2U Humidity Station! šŸŒ¬ļø 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! šŸŒ”ļø 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! šŸ˜‚ 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 šŸƒ 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 šŸ™ŒšŸ’š 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! šŸ“ŗ 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 šŸ’š 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

One week more. The two ladies have developed quite well in the last week and I have now defoliated them again. I think the yellow leaf tips are due to low humidity. The morello cherries auto in the soil also had a bit of bad news for me. There was a small bag of bananas, which I have removed for now and will continue to observe whether new ones appear. With a new cultivar, I can well imagine that it will be even more stable. Otherwise, the morello Cherrie flowers very fast and l'm a little surprised at the low stretch.

Cold cold week, with intermitent rain, and the last feedings, The AK is yellowing and rushing to flower, but, there are still white hairs, and the fattening is not complete, so im flushing until the end (1-2 weeks) Im looking for a narcotic effect so im letting her more time, because no bugs around, the THC layer has increased this week and you can smell the therpenes a little more, really musky-fruty with hints of mango It has reained on the plant last 3 weeks intermitently, but as the buds are not so compact as a Skunk, and the thc layer covering the flowers i find it can survive more, without problems Never expected to have an Indica the 10th of November but, im happy with that fact, she started to grow 7th of August soo a late Afghan Kush ^^ The colours are incredible, thanks Nature and Sedsman for this gift !! One of the most beautiful plants i have ever seen in person.. Good VIbez GD !!!! Thanks for checking, and bros, remember, roll one for the Cold days :D

It time for push and tuck. I did the feeding for transition ( 1:1:1 ratio). I watch them for about 3 hours, then turn the lights out for 24-36 hours. This depletes the hormone that says veg and switches to flowering. Espoma seed starter mix : 1 TBSP Jobe’s Citrus Fruits : 1 TBSP 3 TBSP earth worm castings 1/4 tsp recharge Aerated for 30 hours at 68 degrees ( nice and frothy šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚) 1 gallon of water 750-765 ppms at 1:1:1 ratio. This will last for the first 6-7 days, then we switch to 1:3:2 ratio. I will list what I use for 1:3:2 as it will change from week to week. 10-18 Lights are out for 30 hours and we will see how they look. Lights go back on at 6am EST. 10-19 The lights are kicking. Did some tucking. I did 30 hours of dark before introducing 12-12 light schedule. I can see some of the pre-flower hairs sticking out. 8-8-8 at 760 something ppm’s went well. This is the first run I will be hand feeding the plants throughout flower. I relied on dry amendments and had some success, but I think I can push the bar higher having more control over the feedings. I will be doing a total of 8 feedings. 10-22 The trellis is filling up!!! I added photosynthesis plus to the mix and some fulvic/humic acid. All the ladies are praying up.

Start of the thrid week today. I was behind on my dairy the first two weeks so there may some date differences in weeks 1+2 Gorrila zkittlez - doing great so far getting nice and bushy. Doing LST on the three off the every 3rd day and that's about it. Psychosis - she has still been growing and new stems appear evey few days. Two of the leaves had yellowing in them for 2 week so I've put in down to the lack of cal/mag in the system. Today I was going to replace the nutrient water but instead I decided to leave it and and cal/mag to the res. The reason for not changing water is down to the volume I am using. I have a 225L tank, 6 20L pots with a 20L brain unit. So I'm roughly using 300/310L if I'm at full capacity (365-15%) due to me obv not using the full capacity of the red or bucket for many reasons. I only need 50/100 litres at this stage per week so instead of changing it every 7/10 days. I have filled the system with more than enough supply as to not need to change it so frequently. Ps. The nuits/ec/ph have been holding steady for weeks now hence another reason for keep the water res from week 1 I will be changing the nuit strength and water at some point soon of course... Maybe give it another 7 day depending on how the plants are doing šŸ¤™šŸ‘

Spent eternity trimming! So this is why people call it trim jail. Yield: TM1: 205g Dry | 61g trim - Best growth and color, 7.2 oz yielder! TM2: 177.5g dry | 72.5g trim - Frosty and colorful fruity TM3: 154g dry | 67.2g trim - Even frostier than TM2 but no color more gas TM4: 71g dry | 33.6g trim - Super larfy, still decent taste TM5: 65.3g dry | 19.3g trim - Best Flavor, super gas and sweet Total: 672.8g dry (23.8 oz) | 253.6g trim (9 oz) Flavor is a gassy guava candy with sweet cake after tones. Frost and color is up there, structure is lacking in cola formation. There's a lot more popcorn nugs than hoped for. Definitely due to poor defoliation, lack of scrog, and late PK. Also Besides that, a 672.8g yield would be ~1g/watt - an ideal goal for any starting growers

Day 0. I left the soil to warm up and settle up a bit, plus microbes had time to start working. Always check the middle of pot for that bit of soil to be super fine and airy, roots don't need obstacles. Will update slowly with every big move and that's my checkpoint grow, I want to know, can I and how much ;) Target - 1000 from 8 plants Time - 2 month veg + 2 month flower Nutes - full range of biobizz Soil - biobizz all mix + worm castings Will Lst, top, supercrop, lolitop, defoliate them a lot and in rounds. This time I didn't go for the lair of air stones, those pots work really great. Fingers Crossed Main thing - Thank You #RoyalQueenSeeds for your beans ! Day 2. First Gorilla showed up, beans are very small, we shall see how strong genetics is ... One more time proved myself, that germination is only for old beans if you are not sure with rate, otherwise its waste of time in my mind ... Day 4. Sprout rate - 100 %,but i still didn't liked like all 4 cookies started. We shall see... ;))) Day 6. All good, no big things yet, girls small, but grow, 3 out of 4 cookies didnt want to loose shell , so had to help them and they look lankier compared to gorilla girls. Every day i lower lamps a bit, would say today eve is final and quantum boards run on 50% dimer for now. Will increase it by 5 % every few days, at the end of week two ussually its full blast, sometimes i keep it till week 3. We shall see ... Still happy, moisture, moisture, moisture .... ;)

Start of week 8 and have moved over to just oxygenated water and 1mg of mammoth P per gallon for the finish. Buds have started to really fatten up the past couple of days. Thanks for coming in and having a look, the finish is near!

Had one plant hemi, probably due to the high stress training I did last week. All plants looking very healthy, two out of the remaining 4 are several inches taller so may tie these down to even the canopy a little. One pheno is a lot more sativa looking than the others and had a much bigger stretch.
