đŸŒ± Week 2 Report: The Journey Evolves đŸŒ± 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. đŸŒ± 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! đŸŒŹïž 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! đŸŒĄïž 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! đŸ“ș 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. đŸŒ± 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

I lowered the lights to 84cm, use spray to water the plants, increased the humidity to 65%, added a bit of soil and increased the light schedule to 19h. Hope it can speed up the grow

I started germination of 4 Gelat.Og beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their home. Cant wait! Some background information on my experience with Gelat.Og. I've grown this one out several times and I'm just absolutely in love with these genetics. One of the best terp pallets I've came across. Extremely creamy and rich aroma with a kush kick... majestic! She packs amazing bud structure and is a real branchy hauler. She packs a pretty large stretch, about 200% on average. Plus she has a bit longer of a flower time for a indica dominant... in my experience about 11 weeks. She gets a strong demand for more phosphorus mid flower. A good spike with the pk booster and shes happy as Larry! Another Seedsman masterpiece right her! Amped to dive In to this grow.

Esta semana, poca cosa a añadir, tan solo que continuamos como la semana pasada. Riegos alternos entre abono y agua, segĂșn tabla de fertilizaciĂłn de JUJU Royal by BioBizz. Hemos aumentado la potencia de extracciĂłn para evitar olores.

Purple Buds are amazing.I could not be happier with their color, buds are chunky and frosty, the smell is indescribable. It reminds me a certain sweet from the childhood :) and I bet it will taste even better. Later, I will show some more pictures for Industrial CBD which is doing fine. I will move Purple Buds tomorrow out of my tent for two days in the darkness and then - harvest time :) CBD has got one more week to go I think. Happy growing to everyone.

FINALLY STARTING THE PHOTOPERIODS AND I HOPE MY TIMING IS GOOD FOR CHOPPING THE AUTOFLOWERS..........SEEDS PUT INTO THE SOIL ON JUNE 22ND. SORRY TO EVERYONE WHO TRIES TALKING TO ME....I STILL CANT TALK TO ANYONE BECAUSE I TRIED CHANGING MY EMAIL ON HERE AND IT MESSED EVERYTHING UP. I CANT LIKE ANYTHING OR COMMENT ON ANYTHING. THE WORST IS I CANT JOIN CONTESTS STRIVE NUTRIENTS IS THE BEST IVE EVER USED. A MUST TRY AND I BUY IT MYSELF. GOT A SAMPLE LAST YEAR AND ITS SO GOOD I BOUGHT MORE. ITS A 2 PART POWDER NUTRIENT THAT DISSOLVES IN MINUTES AND YOU MIX THE SAME STRENGTH OF THE 2 PART NUTRIENTS FROM WEEK 2 UNTIL THEY ARE FINISHED (BESIDES THE FLUSH), NO MORE BULLSHIT OF SWITCHING TO BLOOM FERTILIZER. THATS MY FAVORITE THING BESIDES THE RESULTS. CHECK EM OUT AND BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ BECAUSE ITS NO BULLSHIT, AWESOME FRIENDLY AND HONEST PEOPLE

Plants are doing and looking beautiful. Plants look like they fully recovered from the previous weeks mishaps.. Buds are developing nicely at this point And every day I notice them slightly bigger .. I'm noticing the smell get stronger day by day as well Keeping temp at 76-78 and humidity at 45% At the end of week 3 I will run 7L of pure r20 ph@6 through the autopot system , to let any accumulated salts from the hoses and roots flush out . The plants should use up 7L in about 2 days and then I will continue with my regular feedings probably on day 3 of week 4 Also the weather has been getting warmer the last few days and after adding the 2 new lights the temps are getting higher in my tent .. Added 8inch Vortex inline fan to bring fresh air from outside on a controller that shuts on or off depending on temp

Hey Guys, Growth has taken off a lot this past week, have had to add a heater to the grow which isn’t ideal but with warmer months coming this should only be temporary. I have the thermostat set to start the heater when temps go below 23°c. Watching Dr Bruce Bugbee on YouTube, he stated that growth does start to suffer below this temperature. One of the plants has some odd colours and growth which I’m pretty sure is Mg deficiency, which is probably due to that particular girl being more sensitive to PH swings than the rest of the ladies. I have had to insulate some of the circulating pipes as the water cooler was struggling to keep the water baths cool. Seems to have helped keep temps down a couple more degrees, I mate have to reconfigure where my water cooler is in the piping run after this grow Finally a special thanks to the GD team for selecting my previous diary for DOTM, very flattering considering some of the great content that was submitted for March 2020! Happy growing all!

Ich habe die Royal Highness lĂ€nger in der Wachstumsphase gelassenwie gedacht. Aber die Pflanzen sind recht empfindlich und erholen sich nur langsam von diversen Eingriffen. In 3 Tagen werden ich die 3 aber endlich in BlĂŒte schicken, ich hoffe sie bilden im Laufe der Zeit nicht mehr soviel Verzweigungen aus. Meine Growbox ist nun halbwegs ausgefĂŒllt mit Trieben.

I'm thrilled to share another exciting update on my flourishing journey. We have now reached week 4 of the flowering phase, and I must say it has been an incredible period of growth and progress. The plants continue to stretch magnificently, and the onset of bud production has been truly remarkable. đŸŒżđŸŒžđŸŒ±đŸ’Ș As we progress through this crucial stage, I remain attentive to the well-being of my plants. They have developed a healthy thirst, consuming approximately 4 liters of water every 2 days. The pH level of the nutrient solution stands at a steady 6.11, ensuring optimal nutrient uptake. Furthermore, the TDS range between 1050 and 1150 provides the ideal nutrient balance. đŸ’§âš–ïžđŸ“ˆ In light of the unfortunate hermaphroditism incident experienced by a fellow grower, I have been diligently checking my plants for any signs of similar issues. So far, I'm pleased to report that everything is progressing smoothly, and I haven't encountered any Bananas or seeds (it's hard to check the back sides). đŸš«đŸŒđŸ” That's it for this week! Happy growing, lads! đŸŒżđŸŒ±đŸ’šđŸŒž

--------------- Start week 3 -------------- We started week 3 as we ended week 2, which is great. She continues strongly at the beginning of this week and seems almost unstoppable. She clearly enjoys her surroundings and looks very healthy. She has started preflowering and seems to be gearing up for another explosion in growth. She is very good at leaftucking and has already developed a good number of shoots. On to more! A new update at the end of this week. ----------------- Update Week 3: ----------------- End of another fantastic week for MBAP. This week was all about pre-flowering and you can see that she is preparing for an explosive bloom. She has benefited enormously from the LST that I applied and has a good number of shoots ready to explode during flowering. In addition to leaftucking, have also removed the lower shoots so that she can concentrate her energy on the upper shoots. I also did the biotabs in the ground in the middle of the week. We have opted for 3 biotabs in 20-25l soil. Have waited several weeks before putting the tabs in the ground because we work here with aitoflowers. And they prefer a light feeding regiment for the first few weeks. We are going to gradually lower the humidity and get ready for flowering and week 4! Until next update

Moin Leute, hab vor paar Tagen mit der Ernte der beiden Pflanzen begonnen, war etwa 3 Stunden mit dem Trimmen der beiden Pflanzen beschĂ€ftigt. Von der Farbe sind keine großen AuffĂ€lligkeiten erkennbar, Standard orange, hell bis dunkelgrĂŒne Buds dabei. Die GrĂ¶ĂŸe der Buds variiert von den beiden Pflanzen, die eine eher mit sehr langen aber eher dĂŒnneren Headbuds, die andere eher mit breiten und kĂŒrzeren Headbuds. Insgesamt kam jetzt circa 640g Nass auf die Waage zusammen (gewogen am darauffolgenden Tag), denke das wird schon eine ganz gute Ausbeute. Im Nachhinein hĂ€tte ich schon eine Woche frĂŒher ernten können: Die trichome sind schon an manchen Stellen sehr bernsteinfarben gewesen (siehe Bilder). Auch musste ich ein paar Stellen aufgrund von Schimmel wegschneiden (denke das lag daran, dass manche Triebe zu nah an der Zeltwand lagen und aufgrund des wechselhaften Klimas insgesamt). Insgesamt bin ich natĂŒrlich sehr zufrieden mit dem Grow, ich konnte einiges an Erfahrung sammeln und werde diese auch fĂŒr weitere Grows nutzen. Zurzeit trocknen die beiden im Zelt mit aufgehĂ€ngtem Trockennetz bei etwa 23 grad und zwischen 55-60 RH. Denke in einer Woche werden diese schon bereit fĂŒr die GlĂ€ser sein, und dann kann man schon mal ein wenig naschen ;) Ich danke nochmals dem Sponsor Dutch Passion fĂŒr die Gelegenheit, bei diesem Contest dabei gewesen zu sein. Ich bin mit dem Strain sehr zufrieden - es gab kaum Komplikationen, die Pflanzen waren relativ resistent und das Wachstum ziemlich schnell. Ein endgĂŒltiges Review werde ich erst nach dem Tasting machen können (um ehrlich zu sein hatte ich mir schon vor ner Woche mal einen Trieb abgeknapst und schon probiert, ist aber natĂŒrlich nicht ganz reprĂ€sentativ fĂŒr den Grow - war aber mega :P). Weiter gehts fĂŒr mich erst mal mit den zwei Stecklingen von den Pflanzen und der dritten Pflanze, die anfangs im Zelt war - diese ist draußen in die reveg gegangen und wird - nachdem die Pflanzen im Zelt trocken sind - zusammen mit den Stecklingen in die BlĂŒte geschickt. Auch möchte ich jedem nochmal danken der dieses Diary supported und mich auf diesem Weg unterstĂŒtzt - ich bin sehr froh Teil dieser Community zu sein, der gegenseitige Austausch ist wirklich super und alle sind sehr freundlich :) Ich wĂŒnsche euch ein schönes Wochenende und ich melde mich zum smoke review wieder. LG Wulle đŸ˜»đŸ». Edit: Die Buds waren jetzt ca. einen Monat in den GlĂ€sern und melde mich damit zum smoke Review :) Insgesamt ein sehr nices high, je nachdem, wie man an die Sache rangeht und grade mit dem Mindset unterwegs ist, fĂŒhlt man sich auch dementsprechend. FĂŒr Partys gut geeignet, man ist gut gelaunt, locker am dancen und auch noch recht kommunikativ (aber keinen Laberflash ;)) Zum Zocken oder einfach mit seinen FreundenabzuhĂ€ngeb auch genau richtig Der etwas sĂŒsslicher Geschmack erinnert, je nach Phenotyp, entweder an Zitrone (Pflanze #1) oder etwas cremiger aber dennoch fruchtig an Gelato-Vibes (Pflanze #3). Zu Pflanze #2 kann ich bisher noch kein Review abgeben, da ich sie erst heute in die GlĂ€sern getan habe. Und ja - sie hatte wirklich noch geschafft etwas abzuwerfen haha Die Buds sind jedoch sehr klein und insgesamt denke ich nicht, dass sie viel abgeworfen hat, aber ich wollte sie nicht aufgeben, nachdem sie zweimal in der reveg war :P Von den Pflanzen #1 und #3 hatte ich auch noch Steckis gezogen - diese sind auch in etwa 2 Wochen erntereif. Diese sind aber nicht mehr Teil von diesem Diary, denke das wĂŒrde dann alles zu umfangreich werden. Nichtsdestotrotz da auch noch mal die Bestu00e4tigung, dass auch das (bisher) gut geklappt hat. Falls ich noch mal in dieses Diary schaue oder ihr einen kleinen Tipp haben wollt: Steckling eine Woche in ein Glas Wasser geben, danach die abgeschnittene Stelle in Zimt tunken, und dann direkt in die Erde - hat bei allen Stecklingen wunderbar funktioniert. :PDas wars soweit mit dem Diary, wĂŒnsche euch noch viel Spaß und viel Erfolg mit eurem Grow! Noch mal ein großes Danke an jeden, der mich supportet hat und dem Diary folgt. Zudem danke ich Dutch Passion fĂŒr das Sponsoring und die Möglichkeit bei dem Cup mitzumachen! Schaut dort gerne mal vorbei, die Sorte kann ich definitiv empfehlen! (Unbezahlte Werbung, persönliche Empfehlung :))

Hey now! This week went pretty well, I did notice my EC of my runoff was getting pretty high on day 65, it got up to about 1.9, and my nutrient solution going in was at 1.6. I ended up mixing a bucket of my normal fertilizer, and hand watering all the places my drip ring wasn't really hitting, and i got the EC back down to about 1.7. I also got a tip from MrJones to setup some type of support for the colas. I ended up tying some 550 (parachute) cord across the top of my tent poles, then I ties little loops around the colas with the same soft cord. I then used wire ties to attach the loops to the 550 cord. I also am slowly reducing my EC, as I believe I only have a couple weeks left. I am also going to be switching from Liquid KoolBloom to Dry KoolBloom at some point later in week 10. If anyone has any experience on the correct timing of this switch to ripening formula, please hit me up! I am still struggling a bit with heat and humidity, and am considering buying another dehumidifier for my next grow. As always, Thank you to everyone for all of your encouragement, support and tips!! Blaze on!

Hey there! Been so busy that I had to skip week 11. So this will be a summary of weeks 11 and 12. The plants have employed me alot. We are talking about operation defoliation. I defoliated half of the plants in 10 hours. First I was a little bit scared that I may have taken off too many leaves, but when I finally got the whole job done (about 1 week), the first ones had already started bushing again so I'm not worried anymore. Root rot seems to have been dealt of, which is a relief. Unfortunately tho, I'm paying a price for fucking up in the first place, in the form of some seeds emerging. This doesn't move me much tho, even I know what a pain in the ass it will be in the post trimming phase. I'm glad we got over the root rot and a couple of seeds here and there can't stress me out right now. I mean look at these BEAUTIEZ!! There's a couple of mid defoliation photos, they look harsh especially when tied up so I really can get in there. The hairs have gone very brown from all the touching I had to do defoliating. Even tho I used gloves, they got so brown, but I noticed also new white hairs growing after one week

1/4 Week 8 Vids and Pics here is a run down: In Flower tent Full Bloom nuets Pussy Galore (FF7) stretch has slowed Octopussy(LSD) As tall as Pussy she hopefully is slowing Plenty (GC) growing really nicely stretch is very manageable Half n' Half Solitaire (CC) Love it Chew Mee (F2) Ditto Bambi (F6) just arrived In veg - big girl feed 20ml/g grow + Kangaroots Dink(FF2) Tiffany Case - Gold Leaf Thumper - FB FFT-8 Holly Goodhead - FB FFT-7 Mary Goodnight - ILGM Gold Leaf Kissy Suzuki - Fast Buds Wedding Cheese Cake Strawberry Fields - Fast Buds Strawberry Pie Wedding Ch Cake still in recovery getting same as clones. Clones: All planted but three and two of those will be today ... and those were planted do not think the last one is going to root looks bad 1.5ml/L Grow + low kangaroots with a weak 1/4 str nuet foliar (no kanga) 12/5 GD wont let me add more than 8 strains (f them) so will be cranking up the Bond auto fire grow for the wedding ch cake and Straw Pie Giving my wife those to raise so she will be growing them. I got enough to do Soon as the plant stands get in be moving Dink into the flowering tent Entire veg tent now on 20ml/gal of Grow A/B 2 ml/gal kanga except clones and the seedling they remain as is Will be flipping this tent to 12-12 sometime in about a week after the clones are moved 12/6 Looking at the Flowering tent and thinking forward there is no way for me to put another plant in it without hurting the grow. These last three that went in are going to get large-ish just like the others I hope we flipped small enough. Think so was pretty small Reduced Bloom 2ml increased PK same think its wanted So topped Dink to slow her down and let her widen a bit so the rest can get a bit larger, she will remain in the 4x5 and flip with the rest. Things pretty good in the veg tent today. refuse to give up on Honey she looks like she is turning a corner. Increasing nuets a bit on her Gold Leaf is growing great classic indica may regret not cloning them but have no way to deal with it now. 1/7 Fighting a bit with tall plants and lights think its worked out Pics with labels posted 1/8 Dropped PK back to 2.5ml/g Pussy and Plenty doing great nice building already but Octopussy is lagging behind so may be too much PK real possible thus the cut. Went to a high {K for the GC and F7 they burn right through it Good progress on the plants flipping keeping them on half-half till full flower Veg is just gorgeous only issue so far is getting too much light on some plants, she working on that. Honey has picked up her leaves I give her a 3 of 4 chance and increasing to make it now just up to her.
