Another steady week thanks to @royalqueenseeds genetics 👌 Not much to report apart from the obvious swelling and increased trichomes coverage 🤓😁👍 See you all in the new year! 💐✌️😎💨

I'm about 13 days from the 60 day mark. I can't remember the actual finish on this plant, but I'll figure it out this time. Seed breeder suggests 60 days.

Hit these girls with a topping at the end of their 3rd week. Also started them on liquid seaweed for added support. Update day 23: Transplant Update day 25: Defoliation

It’s swelling season and the smell is powerful now!

8/10: Seeing great growth now..lots of branching. I actually fed them yesterday, but didn't update...several have popped some pistils and pretty much the rest are about to, and I'm out of bat guano, so I went ahead and gave them Open Sesame so they'd have more P available over the next several days. 8/11: I rearranged the garden a little. Moved all four #10's to the right side, the #4's are mostly in the middle...very branchy..the others, mostly to the left are the #2's and maybe a #3. The big plant on the lower left is an auto, as is the runt, and the plant at lower right. The "fern-looking" plant is actually a Jacaranda Tree (blue fern tree)...it's about to get kicked out... 8/12: I did a little training on some of the bushier #4's today. I don't have much space to work with, but I was able to do a little to encourage a race for apex dominance. There were enough pistils on them that I decided to switch the week to "Flowering." 8/13: I fed them today with ONE and added Open Sesame, Silica, Signal, and Sweet & Sticky. I sprayed them all with Axiom (Harpin proteins) and Boom Boom Spray right at dark. 8/14: BAM! They are poppin pistils left and right now...lotsa lovely little cotton tops.👍 8/15: Day 15 since the flip to 12/12..good progress. The #2's and #10's are stacking up and stretching pretty well and the #4's just keep bushing up.

Wasn’t much happening just watering when dry.

On day 1 I changed out my reservoir. I lowered my nutes to 650 ppm(25% reduction). I adjusted the PH down to 6.1. My left plant has some burnt tips from either PH shift or over fertilization. My hope is that the lower ppm will help to resolve the issue before it spreads. On day 2 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 6.3 to 5.9. On day 3 the reservoirs PH is 6.0. I installed my new 200 watt HLG Rspec. I adjusted PPFD readings to 700-1300 PPFD on all tops. On day 4 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 5.8 to 6.2. On day 5 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 6.4 to 6.0. I diluted my nutrients in my reservoir by removing one gallon of nutrients from the rez and and adding 2 gallons of straight tap water to the rez. This brought the nute concentration from 770 ppm to 540 ppm as the plants will be entering the ripening stage in a few days and they have too much nitrogen judging by the extremely dark green leaves and burnt leaf tips on some branches of the left side plant. The buds seem slightly smaller then my last run which may be due to an excess of nitrogen and maybe not enough light as some of my tops are taller then the others making proper PPFD challenging. All in all the girls are coming along nice and I look forward to the final weeks of flowering 😀 On day 6 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 5.9 to 6.2. I think I have halted the nute burn as I haven't seen it progressing any more on the leaves. I will continue to monitor closely during these final weeks. The trichome production is increasing with some trichs on top of colas starting to go cloudy. The pistils are turning brown with roughly 40-50% are turning brown all signs I'm getting closer to the harvest window 😆. I dimmed my light to give 600-1000 PPFD to tops. On day 7 I reduced my temps to 75 during the day and 68 at night. I adjusted the PH of the reservoir from 6.6 to 6.1. My reservoirs ppm was too high so I diluted the rez with 2 gal of tap water. This brought it down to 480ppm. The average ppfd to all 14 tops is 604 with no top receiving more than 1000 ppfd

Did some defoliation this week, not much but enough to create some airflow and unblock a few bud sites. Readjusted my DIY “floating” to take up some of the stretch that had gotten out of control, ❤️ that I can do that! The frost is real for this strain OMG, week 3 and it’s already as frosty as some of the Autoflower’s I have grown. Temps have been climbing here and there, we’re getting a lot of dry heat so that’s the plus at least, not a lot of humidity at the moment. I’m really wishing I had taken clones from these girls because I’m sure they are going to be insane if they look this good at week 3. 🇨🇦👊❤️

Всем привет друзья! Растние растёт не по дням а по часам. Набирает жирок на шишках полным ходом. Очень хорошо кушает Цветёт и пахнет Всем мира и добра и хороших урожаев!

Mild flushes last week. Day 54/ Day 1 of Flowering. Fed and light defoliation.

Super happy with this grow! I'll update harvest pics with pics of jarred buds💚 dosidos is a warranty as well as barneys farm 😍 I'll do it again for sure

Almost ready to harvest (Day 53) The are labled with 55-65 days of flowering Started to only give water with calmag from day 51 Smells are really nice

Day 107 - Day late and a dollar short on my Update! :P Haven't added any new nutes...just topping up with water on the current base and then will flush around Thursday. The Cookies Kush all look done...pistils been brown and shrunk for days now. The Purple punch still showing a lot of white pistils though and its the oldest of the 4 plants and should be done the quickest (Per Barneys Flower Time Expectations). Am well over the 8 weeks now and will play the flush by ear, like I say, expecting Thursday for a 4 day flush in Hydro but may stretch the current nutes out the end week to see if the Punch Browns (It is fox-tailing slightly...but this can be expected with Purple strains). Apart from that, nothing else to do but wait til harvest! :) Also, have to note...can't say I have sen an increase in frosting using the 10K bulb from where they were before I introduced it a week ago but could be something that's been that gradual, its really been unnoticeable! What I have noticed with it is Cola Leaves starting to Pray, so they're getting some light intensity without bleaching or burning so it has done something...if its beneficial, I can't really say!

26.1.25: I have had a mistake 😕 i spilt some Fish Mix as I was experimenting with a syphon from some aquarium tubing I have. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the syphon out! Ugh 😣 However, it is fish emulsion and very thick consistency. Therefore, I was able to scrape it up with 2 of my business cards up off the counter. So added this extra into the next 2 ltr solution I mixed. All plants were watered with at least 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3. Containing the following nutrients;- ♡ 3ml Seachem Seaweed ♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix ♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow ♡ 3ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag ♡ .25g Ecothrive Biosys. ♡ 2.5g of Bicarbonate of Soda as PH UP. Unfortunately I have broken my PH pen too. Accidentally submerged it under water, then the readings went crazy. I'm leaving it to dry by standing it up but I'm most likely going to need a new one, which is extremely annoying 😑 I'm going start implementing the Scrog net probably some point next week if I let the plants that are in flower to just grow up now, as I do believe that I stunted Watermelon 🍉 by using too strenuous LST. Hopefully the plants still are able to grow upwards at this stage during flower for all the Purple Punch P1, P2 and P3. We will soon see! 28.1.25: My PH pen has packed up 😣 I've got to wait to get another. It's super annoying 😑 so I'm just judging by memory how to regulate it. Unfortunately, that's my only choice! I'm also out of the dechlorinator 😕 things are not going very well this week so far 😅 I guess we will have to make do, until I can get replenished. 29.1.25: I removed all the plants, hoovered, and disinfected the tent. There were several accidents when watering, causing some debris and splashes. I decided to just go ahead and get a few other things done. It's crazy how quickly things can become neglected! 😣 So I defoliated moderately on all plants except Gorilla Cookies seedling. I have absolutely dropped the ball on my lighting situation! My light was much further away than I thought! I turned it up to 100% and dropped it down to just under 2 feet away. After I reset the tent, I set up my scrog net. I removed 80% of all LST pegs. I am planning on letting the scrog net take over the training from here. I really want to minimise the risk of mould, so I decided to start using my dehumidifier. It has raised up to 73% RH this week, so it's necessary. Hopefully, I will be able to get my dechlorinator and PH pen soon! That's kind of essential to me. It's been a little bit of a stressful day in the garden, to be honest 😅 30.1.25: So I am expecting the arrival of my new PH pen today, as well as my new bottle of Ecothrive neutralise. It is supposed to measure the TDS and EC in addition to the standard TEMP and PH, which I had previously. Obviously, time will tell if it's any good or not. I realise, much too late now, that my lighting is very insufficient for this many plants. I need double the watts at least, and coverage is very poor. I remembered I had an old LED floor lamp, which was in a corner being unused. I decided to take the stand off, and Zip tied the pole onto the tent pole at the back left corner. I have no idea what the wattage is, and it's quite pathetic 😅 but I mean, I might as well use it, being as I definitely cannot afford more lights! 😣 Next grow, I will probably only grow 2 plants, max 4, and just use larger 7-10 Gallon pots. Being as I ran out of dechlorinator, I only watered some plants properly because I only had enough to make 6 litres. When my pen arrives, I will get everything properly watered. 31.1.25: The leaves of several plants are showing signs of iron deficiency. This is likely due to my PH pen packing up earlier. I now have a new pen. Due to this, I decided to use my Seachem Prime, which I use for my aquariums. As I wanted to get them watered properly, and my Ecothrive Neutralise hasn't arrived yet. I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added .25g Ecothrive Biosys to the water. May give them a breather on the nutes and just use the Cal-Mag and Biosys. Being as I've just topped dressed with rich fertilisers, I'm sure that will be OK for the next several waterings. Bubble Kush

## Week 4 Update: Thriving Growth and New Techniques! ### 🌱 Vigorous Growth with Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze, Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush, and Blueberry Muffin 🌱 Welcome back to another exciting update on my grow journey with Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze, Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush, and Blueberry Muffin. The plants are thriving under optimal conditions, and I’ve started experimenting with new techniques to maximize their potential. --- ### Diary Snippet: Advanced Techniques and Optimal Conditions In Week 4, the plants are growing like weeds thanks to maintaining high PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) and optimal temperatures in the grow tent. These conditions are essential for maximizing photosynthesis and ensuring vigorous growth. --- ### Techniques Applied: LST and Defoliation #### Low-Stress Training (LST) This week, I applied Low-Stress Training (LST) for the first time. By gently bending and tying down the branches, I've created a more even canopy. This technique helps to: - **Increase Light Exposure:** Ensures all parts of the plant receive sufficient light. - **Improve Air Circulation:** Reduces the risk of mold and pests by allowing better airflow between the branches. - **Boost Yield:** Promotes the development of multiple colas, potentially increasing the overall yield. #### Defoliation In addition to LST, I also began defoliation, selectively removing some fan leaves to: - **Enhance Light Penetration:** Allows more light to reach the lower parts of the plant. - **Stimulate Growth:** Encourages the plant to focus its energy on bud development rather than foliage. --- ### Nutrient Management: Increasing Plagron Dosage As the plants grow, their nutritional needs increase. I've started to gradually increase the dosage of Plagron nutrients, following a careful schedule to prevent nutrient burn. Key benefits of Plagron nutrients include: - **Balanced Nutrient Profile:** Provides essential macro and micronutrients for robust plant growth. - **Improved Soil Structure:** Enhances the soil's ability to retain water and nutrients. - **Enhanced Flavor and Aroma:** Contributes to the development of rich, flavorful buds. --- ### Technology in Action: TM+ Pro App and TrollMaster To maintain and monitor the optimal growing conditions, I'm utilizing the TM+ Pro App and TrollMaster system: #### TM+ Pro App The TM+ Pro App has been invaluable for tracking and adjusting the environmental conditions in real-time. Key features include: - **Remote Monitoring:** Allows me to keep an eye on temperature, humidity, and light levels from anywhere. - **Data Logging:** Records environmental data for analysis, helping to fine-tune the growing conditions. - **Alerts:** Sends notifications if conditions deviate from the optimal range, enabling quick corrective actions. #### TrollMaster The TrollMaster system is integrated with the grow tent to automate and control various aspects of the environment: - **Climate Control:** Manages temperature and humidity levels to ensure a stable environment. - **Lighting Automation:** Adjusts the light intensity and schedule to mimic natural sunlight patterns. - **Nutrient Delivery:** Automates the feeding schedule, ensuring the plants receive nutrients at the right time and in the right amounts. --- ### Spotlight on Blueberry Muffin 🌿 🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦 **Cannabis Strain Benefits** 🧐 🤓 Blueberry Muffin has been a delightful addition to the grow tent. This strain is known for its sweet, berry-like aroma and potent relaxing effects. It's been growing robustly alongside the other strains and is responding well to the advanced techniques applied. - **Parentals:** Blueberry x Purple Panty Dropper - **Type:** Indica-dominant Hybrid - **Flowering Time:** 8-9 Weeks - **Flavor / Taste / Smell:** Berry, Sweet, Earthy - **Effect:** Relaxing, Euphoric, Happy - **THC Content:** 18-22% - **Characteristics:** Dense Buds, High Resin Production The Blueberry Muffin plants are showing strong growth and developing beautiful, dense buds with a rich aroma. They are a bit more sensitive to defoliation, so I've been careful to remove only the necessary leaves to ensure optimal growth without stressing the plants too much. --- ### Looking Ahead With the application of LST, defoliation, and precise nutrient management, the plants are set for an impressive growth phase. The TM+ Pro App and TrollMaster system will continue to play a crucial role in maintaining optimal conditions. Stay tuned for next week's update as the plants progress and more advanced techniques are applied! Happy growing! 🌿💚

The smell of the Fruity Donutz is getting stronger by the day. It's nice to see how different both phenos are developing. One turning into a trichome covered hash plant while the other lady is growing big purple buds. I water them 2 times per day and they're really thirsty. Going from the strain description they have 2 weeks to go now before harvest, but as always I check the trichomes to see when they are at their top potential.
