Day 52____________________________ - Not much has changed from last week. Just fighting with the trellis net keeping everyone held down. - pH has been strange recently. I’ve been used to the pH raising as the week goes by, but in the past week or so, pH has dropped. Used to try to keep it at 5.6 and it would slowly turn to 6.0, but a few mornings I’ve checked it, it’s been at 5.4 or 5.3, so I’ve adjusted pH to 5.8, and am just monitoring it closely. - Checking root health has been a struggle as the trellis net kinda keeps everything held down. Removed the net to make sure nothing was getting caught in the drain tubes and make sure no root rot is happening and re-installed. - Starting to get super stinky when the stems are touched Day 55____________________________ - Plants were in desperate need of some under canopy clean up. Removed lots of fans shadowing and lower, weaker branches. Noticed a few leaves not looking so hot that we’re laying on top of net pot. Assuming it’s just from being neglected. Keeping an eye on nute levels and pH just in case. Day 56____________________________ - Removed a few other fan leaves once plant repositioned itself after messing with ScrOG. - Installed small fan blowing through newly opened up under canopy to help plant breath. - Will need a bigger Dehumidifier if opening up the under canopy doesn’t help bring down moisture. Set to 45%, expecting to get closer to 55%, but still seeing times with 75% or higher. It’s averaging out to 63%, which isn’t terrible, but I know I’ll need more juice soon anyway Day 56____________________________ - First pistils are showing!!! Day 57____________________________ - Decided to throw my Amazon.com dehumidifier in the dumpster. It would run all day and only pull a few teaspoons of water from the air. Got a hold of a nice GE unit that can handle 70 pints per day of dehumidification. I have literally zero clue if that’s a lot or not, but it’s 6 times the size of my old one, so I’m sure it’ll do fine.

It’s really difficult trying to figure out the watering at this point. Besides that and the lighting everything else seems to be easier to control due to the technology. The human nature aspect and learning about my medicine and how the plants start to develop more growth and require different needs and attention in each stage is fascinating. It’s my first time and trying to mash up all the information I read online. Well anyways to everyone reading and doing their thing, thanks for all the support and here’s my part 2… Currently feeding distilled water every time I feel my fingers in the dirt are dry about 4” down. I’m scared to water till run off at this point as the roots are still young. I Fed 1/2 cup great white on 12/8 12/11 morning, showed first sign of vegetational stage(7sets of true leaves). 12/11 pm fed nutes(called advance and the guy was great very informative and helpful. Said for autoflowers to give half the dosage that is printed because those measurements are for photo’s) 2mil sense grow ph perfect a 2mil sense grow ph perfect b 4mil voodoo juice 4mil b-52 Mix all these into 1 gallon distilled in order from top to bottom. Then I fed 1/2 cup of that mix to each plant. Used cheap Amazon test kit 270ppm/ water temp 67 / water ph 5.75 12/12 am low stress training I forgot to mention that I increased the dimming from 4-6 on my light which gives the plants 420par ;) and I think 17000lux gotta learn how to use yet another cheap Amazon tool. Hey it works to give a general idea and as long as the numbers are consistent then why not use it as a reference.

Vista general del cuarto se ve el crecimiento que llevan las 5. Las dos invitadas, negra blue devil y blanca chocolope, duraran hasta 3ra o 4ta semana máximo, Además se integrará la cuarta cepa oficial LSD-25 de FastBuds. Se subirán fotos en horas de oscuridad para mejor calidad, lamento estas primeras.

The growth and appetite of these two plants has increased proportional to the airflow increase. The BHB is drinking 4 liters a day, the CBD, 2 liters. Every second day is a feeding. EC drops by approximately 2-3 points every 48 hours. PH rises from 5.5 to 5.8-5.9 every 24-48 hours. CBD's issue was Magnesium. Added Epsom salts to the res and issue is no more. Both plants are stacking very well and the CBD has now caughtup to the BHB's height. CBD is at 66 cm while the BHB holds steady at 70.

Maybe the silica made his job or maybe can be the CO2 dispenser effect ? We'll see. 🚀 ________________________________ 📅 D30/V28 - 22/09/23 🛠️ 🌊 💼 I cropped the main bud by mistake and then topped it 🧠 It's ok, I have about 10-11 buds now to keep until the end 🚀 ________________________________ 📅 D31/V29 - 23/09/23 🛠️ 🌊 💼 Mounted the SCROG. Made LST, big defolation and a couple of timelapse videos 🧠 🚀 ________________________________ 📅 D32/V30 - 24/09/23 🛠️ 🌊 3L 💼 🧠 The total energy of the plant remain the same, so I expect (or better hope) a big grow of secondary buds in the next days. Let's see ! 🚀 ________________________________ 📅 D33/V31 - 25/09/23 🛠️ 🌊 💼 Added Rhino Skin to the RES 🧠 🚀 ________________________________ 📅 D34/V32 - 26/09/23 - and added water and nutes. 🛠️ EC is 1.0, pH 5.5. 🌊 6L of water and nutes 💼 Made LST with Timelapse 🧠 She seems ok 👌 🚀 ________________________________ 📅 D35/V33 - 27/09/23 🛠️ EC is 1.0, pH 5.5 🌊 💼 LST almost HST 🧠 🚀

After 48 hours of darkness, the time had come and the Purple Lemonade were ready for harvest. Since she reacted very well to the training and grew with enough space between the buds, I decided to dry upside down. Dry weight and smoke report follow after curing. Stay tuned...

These girls are coming along despite the same hiccups as the strawberry gorilla. What it is I think is cal mag issues from re using old soil and over watering. I added ac infinity self watering bases to help me keep up with the 24 hour lighting. Check back next week to see just how fast they bud & remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!

week 2 six shooter in vertafort So this i either the smallest pheno of the three already, or simply one that didnt take to the transplant very well or maybe myfault if it got molested somehow. Anyway it's the wettest on the hygrometer scale still the earth got a bit compacted i guess, shame because most of the work will be going on down there after all. with the fan fixed now pointing directly up, might get the vpd up a bit, this six shooter is the only six shooter out of the three with a leaf temp at -3 , my bottom half purple cous kush, fbt 5 and fbt 1 are all at - 3 too. ah well, i've seen worse problems. she'll get topped up with light mix, watered with cal mag and aloe gel , for now she got one kelp spray this week pHed to 6.0 with GHE dry pH down at 0.1 grams for 250ml with cal mag in it at half a spoonful. spraying the soil with amino acid concentrate a 0.25ml for 250ml to try to rectify the pH of the soil after i "missed" a lot with the spray and it got to my soil. can't wait to start co2 that's it !

🌱 Week 1: The Journey Begins! 🌟 Hey Grow Fam! 🙌 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! 🦍🍈 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. 🔧 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 🎩✨, 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! 😂💧 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. 🌿💧 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! 💚 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. 🙏 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! 🌿🔥 Growers Love to All 💚💚💚 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! 🌱💡 Growers Love to All 💚💚💚

I forced flower a few days ago i showed that flux works on auto’s Late evening day 27 i hooked her up to the bucket and did Some heavy defo so she is ready for her flowerstretch still going to pin her down for another week to keep her height in check and to open her up for better light penetration and airflow Day 29 recovered nicely and looking amazing again Day 32 further training so she has as much space as she pissibly can and removed all the undergrowth from the branches only keeping the top 2 nodes of every branch in think still half of next week that i might be able to do a very late training but only time and enviroment can block the way of the dominatrix to get to her subjects

Outdoors........time passes slowly.... Tropical weather here, this week. Hot morning, evening storms , cooler nights, high humidity, wind. What else? No problems to report, fantastic grow, girls full of life. Lots of work to bend and rearrange plant's shape every day, sometimes twice a day. Defoliation. Plant is responding fantastically. Special Kush #1 is now in the last days of crazy-stretch phase, is a big plant so I had to move the main top forward again to the opposite point of the perimeter in order to lower the line and give light in the middle.
