10th week, the smaller Strawberry G was already harvested. 5 grams dry weight. Twig snap two days ago I was out smoked it. Head buzz, Strawberry taste was light and delicious. High lasted about 4 hours. I have a habit of harvesting with hardly any amber so the potency is at its peak.

The Goblins are developing painfully slowly, almost certainly because this spot doesn’t get enough sunlight. I know moving them would probably improve their chances, but I’m not willing to compromise my two other guerrilla locations by placing more plants there. For now, they’ll have to stay where they are. It’s frustrating because I know exactly what they need, but secrecy and ideal growing conditions don’t always go hand in hand. Sometimes the safest location simply isn’t the most productive one. I’ve added guano as a top dressing and continue watering with molasses, so now I’ll have to see what they can manage with the limited sunlight available.

-Fading and turning some nice colours -Still watering daily

WEEK 14 I’m thrilled. The plants are developing beautifully. They’ve gained a good bit in height again, but the canopy has become exceptionally even and bushy. Thanks to the long training, many strong shoots have grown, and both plants have a massive stem and impressive root system. They’re slowly beginning to give off a light scent as well. A very sweet cannabis aroma is already noticeable. I believe this will become one of their key characteristics in the future. Due to their height, I had to remove my internal dehumidifier and now use it as an intake dehumidifier. That way, I’m also able to further reduce the humidity in my grow space. I only fertilized once this week because I repotted the plants into fresh Allmix a few weeks ago, so the soil is still very rich in nutrients. The leaves have a healthy color and the plants are generally in great condition. Next week, I’ll raise the VPD and begin fertilizing twice a week. Other than that, I’ll leave the plants to continue growing undisturbed and hope all my shoots soon develop fully into blossoms.

Finally getting the aphids under control…

I’ve stopped tucking over the past week to avoid snapping shoots during stretch. At this point I’m letting the plants do what they do best and focusing on environment and nutrition rather than manipulation. Once the second trellis net goes in, I’ll start assigning individual squares, spreading the canopy a bit more, and following up with a defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration. We’re currently 9 days into flower and the plants are healthy, vigorous, and drinking well. I couldn’t ask for a better run so far. I expect to see bud sites forming across all tops by the next update as stretch begins to slow and flower development kicks in.

Il y a eu 2 nuit avec de la gelé au sol . Encore de belle température pour 2 semaines . Elle résiste très bien

My Rainbow Saltz plant is branching out really nicely! It's about medium-sized compared to the others in the tent, but it looks super healthy and vigorous. I've got a good feeling about this one – it seems like it's going to be a strong grower. Can't wait to see how it develops! The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this past week! We've been hitting that sweet spot of 70 degrees during the day, perfect for getting outside and soaking up some sun. Then, it cools down to a comfy 50 degrees at night, which is ideal for sleeping with the windows open. I've been loving all the fresh air! I finally got around to building that little wooden planter for my windowsill. It was a fun project, and now my regular plants have a nice new home. It really brightens up the room, and I'm thinking of adding some herbs to it soon. Maybe I'll even try growing some basil!

☘️ Gaining Body & First Signs of Flower ☘️ Week three marks a clear shift in development. Both plants are really starting to gain some body now. Even the more compact, bushy pheno is beginning to stretch out slightly and find her balance. The structural differences are still there, but they’re both building a solid framework that feels strong and healthy. I received a useful tip from the breeder this week: the plants could use a little extra nitrogen. Based on that advice, I started adding 4 ml of Plagron Alga Grow daily as a gentle boost. The response has been very noticeable. The leaf color has deepened into a rich, healthy green compared to the previous weeks — always a reassuring sign that they’re getting what they need. The fungus gnats are almost completely gone now. The nematodes I introduced last week are clearly doing their job beneath the surface, interrupting the larvae cycle, while the remaining adults are being caught on the sticky traps. A nice example of working with biology instead of against it 😉 Another interesting development this week is the sudden growth of the side branches. They’ve really taken off and are now nearly matching — or even slightly overtaking — the main tops. No complaints there. In a G-tools cabinet with limited vertical space, strong lateral growth is actually very welcome… although the real stretch phase is likely still ahead of us. And then, the moment every auto grower watches for… Very subtle but unmistakable: the first early signs of flowering. Tiny pistils are beginning to appear, and preflower became visible this week. It’s still early and delicate, but the transition has officially begun. Overall, it’s been a smooth and relatively carefree week. If everything continues like this, we should have some beautiful, clearly visible pistils to photograph next week ✌️🌿 More soon.

Amelie has settled in well in the new tent and has gained 4cm in height this week. As she had been standing on the piano by the window under a 7W lamp for a really long time, waiting for a tent to finally become available, she had produced a lot of leaf material. This now had to come down. On 08.03.25 I therefore lollipopped and did some defoliation on the leaf canopy. Now it is nice and airy again and can concentrate fully on flowering. Incidentally, the pistils were already visible on 03.03., 8 days after the start of flowering. I had sent the mother into flowering in the previous run and fed her with Biobizz Grow/Bloom/Calmag and Plagron Green Sensation. As I still have a sample of Biobizz Topmax here, I thought I'd give it a try and see what effect it has on the taste. It's supposed to be sweeter, I've heard.

==> Decreased the base nutrients for less Nitrogen She is doing great! Calyxes swelling slowly and uniformly :) Looks more and more like a Chemdawg family strain grown in hydro, as she should :D Will be the biggest harvest, doesn't smell too strong yet and doesn't have the most resin but OG Kush is a legend and the looks don't always correlate with the quality of the effect and flavor. I still have very high hopes for her :D

Hello Growmies, Our week 13 marks the harvest of the Watermelon Candy strain, a reflective moment that encapsulates our journey. With a wet harvest tallying at 419 grams from three plants, it's evident that the repotting process played a pivotal role in our yield outcome. Despite this, the harvest, although modest, is a testament to our plant's resilience. Throughout this grow, our meticulous environment control, courtesy of the Mars Hydro setup and TrolMaster's precision, ensured our plants thrived in stability. This experience has highlighted the delicate balance of growth, particularly how repotting can significantly impact our plants' performance, with only one plant weathering the change successfully. This cycle's standout plant serves as a beacon for what could be achieved. It exemplifies the sheer potential of a well-timed and well-executed grow strategy, paving the way for future harvests that align with our high standards. A heartfelt shoutout to Patricia from the Zamnesia Family is in order. Her consistent support has been instrumental throughout our growing endeavors, enabling us to share our story with a wider community. Let’s also appreciate the stellar TrolMaster team—Sascha, Ying, and Caren—for their expertise and guidance, which has been integral in refining our grow environment. As we bid farewell to this cycle, we carry with us the valuable lessons learned and an eagerness to apply them moving forward. We embrace the quality of our Watermelon Candy harvest as a clear indicator of our dedication. Looking ahead, we anticipate future grows with optimism, ready to optimize and advance our methods for even greater success. Stay lifted, stay curious, Salokin P.S. Reflecting on this harvest's scale, we're inspired to strive for excellence, fueled by the guidance and support of remarkable individuals like Patricia and the TrolMaster team. Here's to the promising yields ahead that they'll help foster.

All good at the end i topped them and made cuttlings from it that do well now the canopy is nice and even Most hickups with the FG system are gone and next week we go to 12:12😁

Day 68: top dressed a few days ago with some castings and build a flower and did a good watering. Definitely have been underwatering as i can finally see the lady perk up and start praying. I was doing 1 heavy watering / week but i think that should change to a 5% watering every 3 days or so. Flipping to flower this coming week. Another compost tea will be done this weekend as well in preparation for the 3 week stretch. Outdoors has reached 14 hrs of daylight so im thinking of replanting the small potted one outdoors (in the ground) after i take some cloans.

Slight Changes in nutes: Current feeding FloraMicro 4ml gal FloraBloom 8ml gal SM-90 2.5ml gal Cannazym 2.5ml Gal Ful-Potential 2.5ml gal Liquid Koolbloom 2.5ml gal Floralicious Plus 1ml gal ArmorSI 1ml gal CaliMagic 2.5ml gal FloraNectar 5ml gal Drip Clean 0.4ml gal 9/6/17 A couple VERY LARGE buds tipped over and i didn't notice immediately. I found them and i think i staked them back to health in time, no noticeable damage, more blindsided while realizing the volume and coming to grips with the next step. the reality of the bounty of my garden is dawning on me, and i am a bit intimidated. by the dry, as i am in low RH. by the cure, as i have never done one before. by killing my girls, as they are lovely to ease my anxiety, i ordered 20 hydrometers and increased my jar count from 36 quart jars by adding a dozen 1/2 gallon jars. it is obvious some of the buds need bigger jars to stay intact during the cure. i skipped the boveda packs for now. they are amazon prime away in an emergency, but i figure my attentiveness will be enough, at least this first grow; plenty of people did it right before me without the boveda packs, and when i can pay less per hydrometer than boveda pack... it becomes an interesting decision. i choose old school... for now (mind subject to change) end game is WAY more intimidating than dropping that seed into that cup of water. no one told me it would be this stressful! i hope i do them well during this next phase and these next few weeks. they certainly appear to have done me well 9/7/17 I have a confession to make. When I thought the plants got stunted by the heat, I considered pulling the plants and starting over. Boy an I glad that I didn't. I didn't know what I didn't know. What stopped me was reading a forum post somewhere and a guy was frustrated with his grow and was thinking of pulling it (i think he only had 1 plant). Someone responded to him with very prolific questions. "And then what? Plant another and make the same mistake again? Why don't you finish her out so on your next grow you know better what not to do?" Bingo. He wasn't even talking to me, but he was speaking directly at my situation (or so I thought). I decided to finish them, even if they were stunted dwarfs (SPOILER ALERT: They aren't, I was wrong, they were anything BUT stunted) I am really glad I found that advice because who knows if I would have went through with it if this gentleman hadn't given me a moment of clarity. So if you are frustrated by your first grow, I would advise to finish the grow no matter what (unless, obviously, its a male or moldy or something that DEMANDS the plant be culled) and learn what to do better for next time. I thought mine were gonna be bonzai plants. Not even considering the money wasted and the time wasted, I would have missed out on what the plants have taught me and a tent full of superstars. Now, as I am approaching the end, I need some advice. Aside from trics, is there any other way to determine approx how long left in the grow? I need to change my nutes to end stage stuff (adding dry koolbloom, phasing out unneeded nutes, and finally the flush. ) I am super worried about getting the timing right. Besides trics, are there any other clear signals that we are rounding the corner to the final stretch? Thanks in advance. Also, I live in a dry environment. A desert, actually. For real. It seems like dry trimming will be very important for me if I do not want it to smell like alfalfa after the cure. Any thoughts on dry trimming? I know it is more work, but the results seem better. My plan, so far, is to hang the entire plant upside down in 1 piece to dry. The only question is, how many of the large fan leaves to leave on. Some leave all, some leave only the small ones in the buds. Any thoughts will help me decide along with my other research. Thanks!

Day 126. Really day 90 from seed, part of Control Garden. Amazing how they Bulk, 3 weeks of veg only, crazy strain ! If i ever wanted anything from this strain, she was like "Let's do it ! " 8 sisters were amazing, now i used last two biggest beans and those had no training, no light, nothing, but went into absolute overdrive smells amazing, branches hard to hold while trimming ... Love them, maybe this time taste will be better, different nutes used ... Its so funny to hear branches slowly bending and cracking under own weight with no support left ... Amazing sound for grower ;)) Control Garden is an absolute success even with Strawberries hermie part .. Cure day. 250 g total. Insane for 3 weeks veg, one cola lost to budrot, no direct light and early harvest which led to a bit airy Monster Bulk buds, she could make 150 easy without budrot and one more week of flower ... Will update on night shift ;) Day Unknown. Decided to try out finally last girls for diary records, but ... After a month of intense cure buds got angly/pyramid type forms ... ????? Any idea ? First two weeks moved at least twice a day.

Well 150 days wasted down the drain. I woke up and decided to check the girls this morning and found a fun Webbie surprise across the bugs. Looks like she managed to find some spider mites along the way. Had to biohazard the entire house and all of the plants. She got fed to the pigs because we had to dispose of that bitch ASAP. Been a long morning since we had to do all of the laundry I had to bleach all of the tent it’s a hard lesson to learn. I guess I must’ve gotten lazy keeping everything safe and sanitize between harvest. Lesson learned all around. Thankfully it’s not my first rodeo with these so we got the green cleaner on the way for the rest of the ladies.Been a long sad morning
