Let’s begin this "Primata Uva"… 😜 I’m a newbie here on Grow Diaries — and outside of this bubble as well. One year into this journey, I finally feel a bit more comfortable sharing my flaws and following this incredible path. Being a newbie doesn’t mean being reckless, though. Every step of the initial process involves cleaning and sterilizing every single inch of the tent and all the equipment. Disclaimer: Be careful when using certain products like bleach or other strong chemicals. Always wear a mask, gloves, safety glasses, etc. Take care of yourself during this process and make sure there is plenty of fresh air circulating. Stay safe! 🏾 🌱 Genetics Breeder: Royal Queen Seeds Grape Ape: Afghani x Mendocino Purps x Skunk #1 Some strains put a spring in your step and help you start the day on the right foot; others will lull you into relaxation once the chaos of daily life comes to a close. Grape Ape falls firmly into the latter. It only takes a couple of hits to feel your worries evaporate and for sensations of tranquillity and stillness to take hold. Tastes of fruit and skunk are a big bonus! https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/feminized-cannabis-seeds/659-grape-ape.html Disclaimer: I'm very found of this cultivar. it taste amazing and the vibe is pretty enjoyable. To reed smoking a 'J' of it it's just bless/blast (choose your preference) 🌱 Germination Process I usually prefer placing the seed directly into the growing medium to avoid pathogens — no direct handling of the seed. So: mask on, gloves on, and full attention. Once the medium is in the pot, I water with about 50–80 ml of pure water, adjusted to pH 6.3, with the lowest EC possible. The hardest and most challenging part for me: waiting — around 7 days. 😜😝 From day one, the pots were placed on a heating mat, maintaining an average temperature of 22°C. I can’t wait to see it growing, growing, growing! Grow with passion, and it will thrive. 🌱✨

Harvest day for 2 plants , I forgot to take a picture of the 1st plant when pre trimmed , both are pretty huge , the 1st plant I expected her to be a lot smaller than what I got in my hand once cut down, the second plant was huge from the start , there is still a monster finishing her buds in the tent left so I I left this grow unfinished due to that for the moment

Buenas noches familia, pues empezamos con el final. Nuestras power plant xL se han comportado fenómeno , recordamos que metimos 9 plantas de 3 variedades distintas y esta es la única variedad que perdimos espacio del indoor. Aun así sin palabras en cuanto al resultado. Planta con floración muy rápida, bastante vigorosa, lo malo es que al final tendrás que tutorar si o si, pero es por el peso de la flor. 56/59 días para cortar en floración, (y es Sativa).Se supone que tira 20%thc y su genética es South African sativa.

Semana 7 desde el cambio de fotoperiodo. Crecen bien las plantas, están comiendo mucho y debo regar día por medio, estoy aplicando un riego de agua con enzimas y un riego con fertilizantes (esta semana abone 2 veces), aumente la EC de la solución con abonos a 1.6 esta semana. Les quedan un par de semanas aún antes de comenzar a lavar las raíces. Tienen muy buen aroma, la California tiene un olor entre cítrico y agrio que me encanta.

Por norma general no soy de podar hojas pero esta vez voy hacer una excepción y quitaré las que más sombra hacen , las grandes, a los 30 dias a 12/12h. Pasados 7 dias de su última poda de bajos, tercer y cuarto nudo. Entonces ya solo me quedará ir quitando algunas yemas de los nudos inferiores Parecen haberse estabilizado y no crecen al mismo ritmo que vinieron haciendo estos 30 primeros dias a 12/12h.. A principios de semana la más pequeña, la OGKush nºI serian 70 ctms y las más alta , la AnimalCokes nºVII, 100 ctms. Pasados 6 dias del último tratamiento contra la araña roja le volví a dar y esta vez con Plant Vitality Plus de Bac. Total hasta ahora, un lavado con agua corriente, una de Mactina (químico ), dos de Solabiol y una cuarta con el Vitality. Llevo dos semanas viendo las puntas quemadas y estoy observando que va en aumento, posiblemente sea un exceso de nutrientes debido también en gran parte a que el agua de base sale a 0,85 EC y 8,02 de PH unos valores muy altos. Miraré de correjirlo ahora con un par de riegos solamente con agua y cambiando al Top Candy la próxima semana manteniéndome con dosis bajas. Sobretodo se nota en las OGKUSH , las más pequeñas. A la vista está que fué demasiado regarlas dia si dia no con TopBloom a 1,8 EC. Ahora toco madera para que no afecte demasiado al resto todo y que ya se ven afectadas.

Day 15 - First day in the second week of veg cycle and I am generally happy with both ladies. Cheech is looking like she is bending over a little with the weight of her leaves, so I’ve given her a bit of help to keep her steady and strong. I’ve also noticed that the roots on Cheech are sticking together and a bit darker than I would like. This could mean that the air stone left a “dead spot” where the water wasn’t circulating properly. I’ve adjusted the air stone to be more centre in the bucket and made sure that the water is cold enough to prevent potential root rot. Will need to keep a close eye for the next week or so. Lights have been not been adjusted (still at 60cm from seedlings) because there has only been about a 2cm growth in the last week. Changed the water (10L), buckets and nutrients to keep everything healthy. The tubes for the air bubblers are wiped down because the nutrients stick to the pipe. Milwaukee PH controller is running for about 1 hour to bring the PH down again from the addition of the nutrients and change in water. Day 17 and we have a clear front runner in Cheech. Her third node is open with a fourth clearly visible. Venezia has a clear third node, but it isn’t fully open yet with the fourth just barely starting. Day 20 - Cheech has a clear fourth node now and the fifth is starting to show whereas Venezia is one node behind. They are looking healthy and they will be ready to be topped in the coming week of veg

The preflower stretch starded and some future bud sights are starting to show . Plants look like healthy and happy teenagers ! The canopy is even and has almost completely filled out the tent surface thanks to the topping, the lst'ing, and the scrogging : ) I added a second trellis net to support the future BUDS, plants look healthy and happy ! Happy growing y'all !

🌸 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. Your incredible products and technology make this journey possible. 🌟 To the Grow Diaries community and all my followers—thank you for your energy, love, and even the challenges from the haters. It all fuels this incredible process, and I apprecilove every bit of it. Special shoutout to Brother Daggadna—check him out on Instagram and show some love! 💚 The plants are heading into the next phase of bloom, and I can’t wait to share how this story unfolds. 🌸✨ As always, stay tuned, stay positive, and let’s keep growing strong together! 🙌 Growers’ love to all 💚 #TrolMaster #AptusHolland #GrowLife #CannabisCommunity #FlowerWeek4 #NeverGiveUp #GrowWithLove #IndoorHorticulture #Defoliation #PPFD #ControlledEnvironment #SCROGNet #DogDoctorOfficial Discount Codes so you can save big on your next check out 💚💚💚 Kannabia - DOGDOCTOR 30% off SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off CannaKan- DOGDOCTOR 15% off terpyz.eu - DOCTOR 15% off The Neutralizer - PORKIT5-DOG 15% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏
 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚 Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love to you all 💚💚💚 P.S. – A Deep Dive into the ICL-300: Revolutionizing Under-Canopy Lighting The ICL-300 isn’t just another LED—it’s a game-changer for under-canopy lighting. 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! 💚

D67 removed ScrOG and repeated LST on left plant so lower buds will get more light. There is not enough space in tent to do the same with the right plant.

You can see the amount of crystals of this babys, and i can't tell you how good it smells, touching any bud make the fingers get too sticky. Previous week and this week i was removing a huge amount of big leaves, to enable the light penetration to the lower parts where buds are not totally finished. I'm terribly impatient for Harvest time 😭 ---IRRIGATION CALENDAR--- 10/02/19 (Night) I prepared a solution with 3l water and (Big Bud, Bud Candy, Nirvana, Sensizym, Rhino Skin, Bud Factor X & Bloombastic) @ 1.6 E.C. PH6.4 ~750ml for each BlueBerry Mazar 13/02/19 (Day) 600ml of water & Flawless Finish @ EC 0.4~0.5 PH6.5 14/02/19 (Day) 400ml of water & Flawless Finish @ EC 0.4~0.5 PH6.5 15/02/19 (Day) 750ml of water & Flawless Finish @ EC 0.4~0.5 PH6.5 20/02/19: HARVEST TIME COMING!!!!!!! *****ESPAÑOL***** ----SUMARIO SEMANAL---- 10/02/19: Fotos 1 a 5 - Debo pedir disculpas por el color de las fotos de este día, el ajuste de blancos manual de los archivos dng de la app lightroom mobile me ha jugado una mala pasada. 11/02/19: Fotos 6 a 21 12/02/19: Foto 22 13/02/19: Fotos 23 a 25 15/02/19: Vídeo 26 y Fotos 27 a 36 ¡¡Esta es la última SEMANA!!, sólo haré un riego más con nutrientes y 3 días después empezaré el ciclo de 7 de agua y flawless. Podéis ver en las fotos la cantidad de cristales de estas pequeñas, y no podría explicar lo bien huele (es maravilloso). Tocar cualquiera de los cogollos te deja los dedos muy pegajosos. La semana pasada y esta he estado quitando muchas de las hojas grandes para dejar pasar la luz a los cogollos inferiores que no están tan hechos como la parte superior. ¡¡¡¡¡¡Estoy impaciente por hacer la cosecha!!!!! ---CALENDARIO DE RIEGO--- 10/02/19 (Noche) Preparo un solución con 3l de agua y (Big Bud, Bud Candy, Nirvana, Sensizym, Rhino Skin, Bud Factor X y Bloombastic) @ 1.6 E.C.
