Week 3 VEG – Roller Coster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Expanding the Canopy, Building the Ecosystem Week 3 VEG has arrived, and our Roller Coster Haze girls are thriving. They’re growing with intensity, branching fast, stretching out beautifully, and responding with vibrant color and leaf development. This week, we stepped outside the tent for a special photo session to capture their structure, symmetry, and power. Both phenos are showing great promise. But this update isn’t just about how the plants are growing — it’s about how we’re growing them. This week we shine the light on the ecosystem behind the leaves — the environment, the gear, and the design that make it all possible. ⸻ Light Systems – Future of Grow & ThinkGrow We are currently growing under two powerful LED systems in a shared 8x8 room: • Future of Grow: Highly efficient, full-spectrum lighting technology providing excellent canopy penetration. • ThinkGrow Model One LEDs: Tuned for precision horticulture, great thermal management, and superior spread, recently integrated into the setup. Both light systems are now active, operating in two separate environmental zones within the same space, but synchronized and managed through one master control hub. ⸻ Environmental Intelligence – TrolMaster Ecosystem All environmental conditions are being automated and fine-tuned using the TrolMaster Tent-X Control System, including: • CO₂ Sensors – Monitoring levels and ensuring optimal enrichment. • Temperature & Humidity Sensors – Providing real-time data for environmental balance. • PPFD Sensor – Ensuring precise light intensity distribution across both zones. • Device Integration – Exhaust fans, intake fans, humidification and lighting systems all run through this single ecosystem. The system gives us a responsive, dynamic grow space that adjusts in real time to keep conditions perfect. ⸻ Airflow & Filtration – Keeping It Clean and Controlled Air exchange is critical, and we’ve built a dual-exhaust, filtered system to keep the space fresh and odor-free: • Exhaust System: • Two 6-inch carbon-filtered exhaust lines. • Spider Farmer extraction fan (controlled via Spider Farmer GGS controller). • AeroFan (connected to TrolMaster Tent-X controller). • Intake System: • One 6-inch filtered intake, bringing in fresh, conditioned air. This ensures both negative pressure and proper circulation at all times. Clean air in, filtered air out, silently and efficiently. ⸻ Feeding Schedule – Aptus Micro-Nutrition, Targeted & Precise This week, we maintained a light but effective nutrient profile using Aptus Holland products, aimed at promoting root structure, nutrient uptake, and resistance: • Regulator – 0.25 ml/L – cellular strength and stress reduction. • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L – structural support and calcium-magnesium balance. • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L – balanced NPK and trace minerals. • Start Booster – 0.2 ml/L – supporting root expansion and microbial activity. This blend is helping the girls keep pace with their rapid vegetative expansion without overwhelming them. We’re not pushing for speed, we’re feeding for structure. ⸻ Looking Ahead We’ll be making our final decisions next week, based on structure, root readiness, and overall health. From there, final stretch of veg before flower. We’re not rushing — we’re watching. Letting them show us who they are. ⸻ Final Notes – Summer in the Grow Room It’s summer, and just like the world outside, the room is alive. Life is bursting in every direction — the plants, the microbes, the air systems, the sensors. Everything is connected and working in rhythm. It’s beautiful to witness. This week was not about interventions — it was about observation, appreciation, and refinement. The grow is expanding. The system is expanding. And the girls? They’re reaching for the light, fast and full of promise.

Seems to be taking well to being moved to the 5gal pot. Growing a lot faster after the 2nd day in the bigger pot. Watered for the first time since planting in big pot after 5 days with 1L distilled water (Ph 7) mixed with 1/2 tsp. fox farms grow big and 1/2 tsp. big bloom. Since my soil is considered hot soil I wanted to use less than the recommendation on the bottle.

The buds are forming! Changed to a nicer light recently, light is great, although my mars hydro 600w did me justice. This new one I got of amazon for under $100 is 1000 watt led and crushing it. It has increased temps significantly which is a bit tough for me to control given my tent is in a closet. Also it is starting to getting less humid outside, so I reduced airflow in the tent to keep the humidity at 50. I have a small humidifier coming soon (oddly a Corporate work gift lol).

I continue to do a little defoliation on my 4 Banana Krumble They grow well with strong secondary branches but a little less height than the other varieties present in my culture This week with supports I start trying to balance the height of all my plants so that they are approximately the same distance from the lamp ------------------------------------------------------------ 💧Watering On average I water each pot with: Day 36 : 0.75 Liters Day 40 : 0.75 L I use tap water, adjust the ph to around 6 and water 💧Spraying I mix a little black soap and neem oil in 1L of water and spray everything in the tent just before my lights go out, keeping any electrical appliances away while I spray. I try to soak all the plants. and I repeat this 2 times this week and the next before the buds appear. I do this to keep pests away and reduce the risk of mold. ------------------------------------------------------------ 🔥❄️Temperature of the week : Day : 19-23°C (Humidity : 60-75%) Night : 16-18°C Outside the tent it is around 17°C with 70% humidity ------------------------------------------------------------ 🚀Equipment of the week ⭐️ : It's starting to smell a little too green in my house, I'm adding my carbon filter this week Light FC3000 Mars hydro. power 95% at 45cm Extractor 6 inch Mars Hydro + carbon filter . power 3/10.

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grows First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this CBD Fast Eddy plant from Royal queen seeds will turn out. CBD Fast Eddy Automatic is combining Cheese x Juanita la Lagrimosa x Ruderalis, Fast Eddy is a rapid growing, flavourful, and CBD-rich auto strain that goes from seed to harvest in 8-9 weeks, produce generous yields, and induce a clear, mellow, and most importantly, functional high. THC: 9% CBD: High Yield Indoor : 400 - 450 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 80 - 130 gr/plant Height Indoor: 60 - 100 cm Height Outdoor: 80 - 120 cm Flowering: 6 - 7 weeks Harvest month: 8-9 weeks after sprouting Genetic Background: Cheese x Juanita la Lagrimosa x Ruderalis Type: Sa 50% In 40% Ru 10% Effect: Clear, Painrelief Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. Both seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 2 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perlite and mix it all together. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-20. These girls are much slower to germinate and to start growing than the other 6 girls I started at the same time. One of the germinated seeds split in half, so I had to take a new seed and germinate it. It took 2 days. It was just a smal taproots after germination with this strain as opposed to my Fastbuds cbd. But I hope everything goes well from now and that they live up to their name, Fast Eddy. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Update 2017-08-21. New pics. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-22. Nr1 dident make it and died. Started germinate a new seed to get another Nr1. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-27. Nr 1 is in a small pot in humidity dome and i hope shes going to break the surface soon. Nr 2 is slow but doing fine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. Nr2 is transplanted in 15 liter autopot. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls Nr2. Its no water for 3 days now so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added a movie. Everything is looking great right now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-08-31. 3 New pics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-09-01. New pics and a video of the grow room from today.

Chopped earlier than expected. I thought it was finished., I dried for a couple of days until the branches snapped without bending. Usually the good old stuff you can find from websites concerning this.

11/30 - 12/5: The bigger Zenzations has the beginnings of a small apex flower. Both Zenzations continue to look great, but the big story is the turn around the Black Jacks have made. They've tripled in height in 2 weeks and have nice, long lower branching. Both Gorilla Girls are stretching well now and have huge fan leaves, so I think they've still got some stretching to do. I dialed back the lights to 13 hours of daylight on the 4th. 12/6: I fed them today.

The plants look a bit damaged and need some care as I was on holiday for a couple of weeks. They were watered every 2-3 days but not looked after any further, yet they have grown quite a bit. The smaller Fractal has already started to flower. They have lost a bit of colour, I hope to be able to fix that. Fractal 1 120 cm Fractal 2 100 cm
