NOV 17 (DAY 52): Oooohhhh... I let the plants go too long without watering them. Plant 3 looked so limp and pathetic, I was afraid to touch it. I have got to start setting a reminder to pick the pots up every day to be sure. NOV 18 (DAY 53): Everyone is looking much better now that they have been thoroughly watered. They need to be fed next time I water. NOV 20 (DAY 55): The fan leaves on my comparison plant, which up to now had been light years ahead of the others, are now rapidly yellowing and turning brittle. And Plant 3 is also starting to look lighter yellow green... time for food. I mixed everything as per FF’s feeding schedule (minus the dry ingredients and plus a few other things), adjusted the solution’s pH, and then diluted it to 1500ppm. I’m a little uncertain about what to expect from my comparison plant... so I’m feeding it at least one more time.

Hey hey everybody! We are back here this week at the beginning of week 13 and it is almost that time… time to flip? ….I wish…. No, no…. I am trying to be good but I think I came up with a plan that will give me a rough idea of when I will see that light at the end of the tunnel- or we’ll at least flip that light to 12/12 haha- No no it is almost Christmas and things have been crazy over here. With the holiday madness upon us, I can’t tell all of you how much I have appreciated the relative silence (you know how it is, there are multiple fans running) time seems to slow down and it just us and the plants. Quite enjoyable. So as you already know, we are going to be on coast until we fill out the rest of that 3x3 scrog net- however just today on my way into work, I came up with what might be my new definitive plan… I have had a bit of trouble waiting, no doubt it will be worth the wait, but the wait has been difficult none the less… so here it is.. Here’s what I’m thinking- I have this going and I also have some fastbuds growing in the same area. What I am most likely going to do- is wait until it’s time for the fastbuds to come down to open up some space in the 5x5 and the rock candy cake can have all that space to herself- I will shift the scrog into the center of the tent and then flip the light schedule to 12/12 and let it run wild- it’s at this point I will most likely employ a more hands off approach so it can focus all of its energy on producing buds worthy of such a wait. The canopy is getting pretty lush and I really need to get in there and defoliate- I really lucked out, today was the last day I had to work until after Christmas so you KNOW I will be in there tomorrow plucking away at leaves (strategically of course) half kidding I’m probably still a whirlwind compared to some, but I’ve noticed- especially when it comes to autos, that my leaf selection has become much more refined when defoliating. PROBABLY gonna see a BIT less of that tomorrow as I have to open up the canopy but I still plan on being careful. Something else that was super cool who may not be following along with the other journal, happened oddly enough just the other day when I was doing dishes- I was scrubbing away with my phone all propped up so I could watch/listen to dude grows. And I heard the dude mention a contest on their website that I had entered… of course my ears perked up, I leaned in a little closer to take a look and was thinking to myself how cool it would be, even to see my picture in the background and sure enough there it was and they brought it up and commented on the submission and seemed to be genuinely enthused by it and let me tell you I am STILL riding high off that one! One thing that was cool too was a rep at a nutrient company had seen that and congratulated me as well and it was again just so cool and I’m honored to have been on there! I listen to them practically everyday at work- yeah words are not doing it justice right now but I was stoked!!! Other than that, the holidays are practically upon us so I’d imagine it’ll be a whole lot of family activity with a side of unintentional neglect that I plan on keeping to an absolute minimum because we are right around the corner from some excitement in that tent- that thing is going to be HUGE! So we have that to look forward to! And on that note, I just want to say that from our home to yours, I truly hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and I can’t wait to come back and get into the garden talk with all my growmies! Growers love everybody and happy holiday!! 💚🤙🌱🎅🏼🎁🎄

🌱 Divine Seeds Week Three Veg Report 🌱 Hey, fellow growers! 🌿✨ Welcome back to our weekly update on the Divine Seeds journey. We’re now into Week Three of the vegetative stage, and our plants are loving their new environment. The Moon Rock, Opium, and Big Demon are thriving after the transplant, and we’re excited to share the latest developments. 🌟 Week Three Highlights 🌟 This week, we plugged in the Autopots and turned them on, letting gravity do its magic. From now on, we’ll rely on the Regulator and CaMg-Boost in the reservoir. Our soil is rich in organic matter and nutrients, so we’re testing if just the organic inputs in the soil, plus CaMg and Regulator, can sustain the entire run. Let’s dive into the details: 1. Moon Rock 🚀 • Growth: Vigorous vertical and lateral growth, with lush, broad leaves. • Health: The transplant has boosted its vigor, and the plant looks healthier than ever. • Notes: Moon Rock is showing exceptional adaptability and strength. 2. Opium 🌸 • Growth: Steady and balanced growth with symmetrical leaf development. • Health: Opium is thriving, with no signs of stress or deficiencies. • Notes: This plant continues to flourish with grace and beauty. 3. Big Demon 💪 • Growth: Robust and vigorous, with thick stems and expansive leaf growth. • Health: The transplant has enhanced its already impressive growth. • Notes: Big Demon remains a powerhouse in our garden. 🌟 Nutrient Strategy 🌟 Our feeding regimen this week focuses on: • Regulator (0.15ml/L): Helps reduce stress and improves overall plant health by regulating plant processes and enhancing nutrient uptake. • CaMg-Boost (0.25ml/L): Provides essential calcium and magnesium, preventing deficiencies and supporting strong cell wall development and photosynthesis. Our rich organic soil is packed with biolife and nutrients, so this experiment will test if these organic inputs, combined with CaMg and Regulator, can sustain the plants through their entire growth cycle. 🌟 LED Lighting and Control System 🌟 To support our plants’ growth, we’re using the Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro LED. Here’s why it’s amazing: • Efficiency: Provides high light output with low energy consumption, ensuring optimal growth while being energy-efficient. • Full Spectrum: Delivers a balanced spectrum of light, mimicking natural sunlight to support all stages of plant growth. • Coverage: The compact design ensures even light distribution across the entire canopy, promoting uniform growth. We’re also using the TrolMaster Hydro X controller with its impressive 3-in-1 sensor for temperature, humidity, and light detection. This controller allows us to: • Monitor and Control: Keep precise control over the grow environment, ensuring optimal conditions for our plants. • Automation: Automate various aspects of the grow room, reducing manual work and improving efficiency. • Data Insights: Gain valuable insights into environmental conditions, helping us make informed decisions. 🌟 Key Observations 🌟 • Plant Response: The plants have responded exceptionally well to the transplant and nutrient strategy. • Growth Rate: Significant increase in growth rate, thanks to the balanced environment and nutrient-rich soil. • Health and Vigor: The plants are healthy, with vibrant foliage and strong structures. 🌱 Next Steps 🌱 As we move into Week Four, our focus will be on: • Monitoring the Autopots: Ensuring the system runs smoothly and the plants receive consistent moisture. • Observing Plant Responses: Keeping a close eye on how the plants respond to the nutrient strategy. • Maintaining Optimal Conditions: Using the Lumatek LED and TrolMaster controller to maintain perfect growing conditions. Stay tuned for more updates as our Divine Seeds continue to flourish. We’re excited to see the results of this nutrient strategy and share every milestone with you on this incredible journey! Happy growing, and may your gardens be ever green! 🌿💚 #DivineSeeds #WeekThreeVegReport #AptusHolland #MoonRock #Opium #BigDemon #GrowDiaries #PlantMagic #GreenThumb #Inspiration #LumatekZeus #TrolMasterHydroX Germination method 🌱 @thecannakan Genetics @divine.seeds Nutrition @aptusholland 🌿 @aptus_world 🌎 @aptus_es 🌍 @aptusbrasil 🌱 @aptus_thailand 🌿 @aptus_portugal 🌳 @aptususa_officiala 🍀 @aptusplanttechnz 🌺 @aptusplanttechaus 🍃 Ambient controls🎮 @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro Soil @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis LED - @lumatekeu Watering- @autopot_usa @autopot_global Love and attention- @dogdoctorofficial #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trolmaster #trolmastereurope #trolmastersecrets #Autopots #GreenJoy 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 💚 More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found ⬆️link in the profile description ⬆️ Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All 💚

Started some LST early in the week for the slightly older plant, then later in the week with the other two. I was going to let them go Christmas tree style, but I can tell already they will out stretch the others. Ended up just bending the top and tying with pant ties. This should promote some busier plants. Still figuring out the Correct Cronk Dosage, it’s pretty strong stuff, just trying to find the balance. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Here we go! The plants are still stretching! All plants are mature now and develop small buds! Last day of the week I watered them with TOP CROPs “BUD PACK” and gave them the minimum recommended dosage. I’m very interested if the TOP BUD flower stimulator will show some immediate results. 🤞

Kinda a rough week, everyone. I’ve been battling the flu all week and my energy is zapped. So firstly I had been growing increasingly annoyed of leaf clawing. I addressed overwatering and started only watering every 4-5 days and the girls responded well. I researched defoliation as much as I could and gave it a go because the plants weren’t getting optimal light. Might’ve overdone it, I’m not sure. Then came lowering the screens to begin scrogging. I’ve read probably every forum and article and looked at dozens of diaries; but it feels like when I’m tying branches to the screen it’s just stacking them on other leaves and blocking more light. I hate my LED, it’s probably only good for one plant. But today one of the bulbs went out, brand new light. I decided to buy a 315w CMH Light should be here next week. Live and learn. Should have done a single plant grow. It’s a new week though it will all work out. 🍁

In this week, i defoliated most of the (very) sick leaves on both plants. Afghan Kush is really bushy, Blueberry not so much, she skinny. Both smell absolutely great. Both continue to sweel and grow. We are now, same as in the BPP diary, in what i call the "mostly boring" state. its nice to see the visual changes in the timelapse, but other than that, not much to do besides water them. Both have discontinued to show any new or lets say worse signs of any deficiencies, there are now some overfeeding signs but i rather have that then them trying to creep by. Watering reduced to 2.2L for each to account for them taking to long to dry out. Roots are STACKED, the soil is almost solid by them. Next grow will be in airpots since i also expect root issues here(ringroots or the like, maybe damage due to overwatering in like week 3/4). Timelapse i will add tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by and see you next week!

Ok week 3. I need to step away this is turning into an obsession. So I set the temp to max out at 76 degrees- the plants seem to enjoy that temp a lot more. At one point you could definitely tell the plants were maxing out on nitrates but after doing some research I found out its normal when using slow release fertilizer. Since I was overwatering my plants I’ve let them relax and start to water every three days in less amounts. I'm going to start LST tomorrow- hopefully. I purchased another LED. Optic LED had a black friday sale so I thought i’d pick up one of those…. Still kinda pricey but I’m hoping it's worth it. I guess the light arrived at my house earlier today but apparently I was sleeping so they took it back. I'll have to pick that light up later tonight. I’m going to add the new Optic LED when my plants start flowering. Till next week.

Continued growth, feeding every 3 days as soil dries out. Nice growth spurts noted and apical dominance broken via LST as limbs/new growth reach skyward. Minor fan leaf removal to permit light saturation and airflow to lower areas. Feeding 1/2 gallon per plant about every 3 days.

Start of week 5. Week 4 went well and like the OG Kush, the leaves dropped overnight from day 6 into 7 of week 4. She's a bit hungrier and will need a bit extra feed. Overall the plant is looking good, bud sites are filling in and she's starting to smell. She's already incredibly sticky!

Day 50 - Starting week 8 and have been impressed with how this girl has been producing. Not as “thick” as she could be but still looking like pretty tight buds. Will be giving her a feeding of nutes tomorrow. Day 51 - Thinking this girl might be getting kind of close to harvest. About two weeks or so maybe. Looks great for a mutant. Gave her a full feeding of the foxfarm trio today. Day 52 - Gave the girl a pretty decent defoliation today to try and maximize the light to bud sites. Don’t know how much longer she’s got, 2 weeksish is what I’m thinking but not gonna harvest early. If she needs more than two weeks, then I’ll give her more time.
