Day 98: I have not been active for the last 25 days, and only watered the plants, because of family emergency. I think it is time to harvest :) Tomorrow I will start cutting down the most dark buds, and slowly cut it all in the next couple of weeks

This Baby just can't stop grow. i wanna smoke this strain so bad so badddd. To give you an example of why i'm telling you this, check this out. i have my grow tent with the door open in my house with my infinity at maximum speed 10/10. AC ON 24/7. This days are really really hot over here and if i close the grow tent the Temp will raise up to 85%. Anyway.... 2 days ago i had a visit in home and i was a little afraid for the smell, turns that when they got here the first thing they ask for.... was the fruit that smell like that?. 😂😂 I said that i made a casquito de guayaba (that's a famous cuban dessert made from real guavas) smells very very sweet and taste asome. This plant smells like that. Like a candy or a very sweet fruit But she's taking her time and im glad of that. I want to tanks to @jinks101 @Trueorganics84 for the help they give me in this, my first grow. 🙏 thank you all guys...

Did 24 hours light cycle by mistake change it on week 3

So tomorrow will be day 1 of week 6. I have been out of town and not able to care for the girls like I usually do. So my PPM went a little higher than I usually have it. As you can see I have some nute burn going on. I dropped it down now and hopefully it should be smooth sailing from here. Girls are putting on some weight but really don't think I'll pull more then 3 oz per plant. All the buds are rock hard but a bit small. I do think that the quality is going to be above average. They are starting to pack on the crystals and crazy sticky. The smell at this stage is extremely strong. I had to hook my charcoal filter. My entire house was ranked when I came home from my trip. All in all these girls have been pretty easy to grow with the exception of one of the banner phenotypes. She really doesn't seem to like the higher PPM levels. But I have 1 Reservoir feeding all of them so she just has to make do LOL.

Everything's good buying a 600watt ZNet 4 to add more light!

Alright, bad news ladies and gents, I got the bud rot. It’s been humid as hell here and I think the buds were way to dense and not drying. I noticed it by inspecting the buds. As bud rot rots from the inside out, I noticed a few “out of place” leaves on the buds that were brown. From my experience with late season bud rot last year I knew right away. I peeled open the bud and sure enough rot. I looked around a bit more and found it in a few more places, I decided right away to take the large buds, and leave some on the plant to mature. The big green behind the garage, I also found some on one bud, I cut and tossed it. The purple one has no rot yet, I think because of the spacing between the bud sites, it’s not dense. Anyway here is a partial harvest, and some bud rot pics. I’m letting them finish, I’ll just keep an eye on them. Pray for dry weather for me. Cheers.

Borked the time tracking on the previous diary weeks, both are still going strong. Grapefruit is developing a lot of new internode fan leaves, but she's too late into bloom now to defoliate etc. and don't want to stress the GG XL either. Latest GG XL photos are in Week 5. Microgreens are also coming up fast. 17/07: Forgot to take Day 42 photos for both girls, my apologies as my wrists have been giving me hell but will get some more up soon. I've been keeping with the same watering schedule, some bud sites are being shaded by fan leaves so I'm trying to VERY carefully bend them down to prop up the little bud sites better. I've rubbed my fingers on some of the fan leaves to get rid of whatever weird white dust is ending up on my leaves, probably just debris from the air and the fan might need a cleaning soon but holy shit my fingers smell strong like Pomegranate and fruits. It's getting quite addictive to smell the bud sites and rub that resin of her fan leaves, I wish I could describe it better but damn it smells good. If the resin is any indication of the final smoke I know that the Grapefruit is gonna be dank. Can't wait till drying + harvest time :)) 18/07: Plucked off some lower burnt leaves that were really old, snipped off two more big fan leaves shading new bud sites and removed the stumps from old leaves rather making those closely cut down stubs instead so no bug invaders can get a free home. :P Humidity has been ridiculously high today >~65% and dropping now in the evening after the rain has stopped to <~60%, I added some Sodium Bicarbonate in plastic jars around the tent to help pull out water from the air. (18/07: Seems to be helping, I'm seeing about a ~2-5% drop overnight and this morning, usually the humidity in the morning before+after rain is ~60-65%) 20/07: The paper ref regarding RH and Bicarb. of Soda: W.-Y. Kuu et al. / International Journal of Pharmaceutics 166 (1998) 167–175 / PII: S0378-5173(98)00049-0 - I don't know how or why but keeping temps at ~21-23C drops the RH down to a stable mid-low 50's range. Thank fuck now I don't have to drop tonnes of money on a huge dehumidifier... Occam's razor baby :) 21/07: Had to move the light, fan, carbon filter and literally everything. Some minor shit for the cover broke on top of the CaCl -RH% and the bicarb got knocked over. Wiped, sprayed down and cleaned out the fan filter as well. What a fucking start to the day... 31/07: GG XL is in Week 7 now, so getting well into flower, growing at an exponential rate and starting to give off a very subtle smell, Grapefruit smells quite noticeable now too. 03/08: GG XL ending week 7, getting massive. ~77-78CM now. Had to defoliate the Grapefruit since leaf miners were still assaulting her, hopefully this helps get more light and airflow into the bud sites, been having humidity issues but can't do much.

These gals are doing fantastic! Smell is really starting to come out now, smells like a very strong citrus pine 👌🙌 Switched them to full strength flowering nutes and they're doing pretty well. I probably should have transitioned them a little earlier but a little stress doesn't hurt, they're growing just fine! Heat is also an issue but they'll manage 😅 8-4-18 :: Largest plant's bucket got empty on accident; Filled a 15gallon reservoir of full strength nutes and pumped the solution into the bucket as always. Next day my largest plant is dying and the other two are fine, looks like lockout. Flushed for a day and then added nutes, no improvement.. Orange pistils are appearing pretty fast on it too as if it's trying to ripen but not grow. My heart is broken😰 UPDATE: Realized I was an idiot and didn't plug up the holes I drilled into the top of the buckets (I stick a hose in there to fill them up) and the roots were exposed to light.

Week 3: TrolMaster Chronicles – Transplanting, Growing Strong, and Thriving in PRO-MIX HP 🌱✨ Hey Grow Fam! Another exciting week has flown by in the grow room, and I’m thrilled with the progress! We kicked off Week 3 with our first set of transplants. The Gorilla Melon was transplanted at the end of the week, while the Papaya Zoap is still patiently waiting for its turn to shine. Each plant that’s been transplanted is now comfortably settled in 15-liter Autopots, filled with PRO-MIX HP BIOFUNGICIDE + MYCORRHIZAE, and wow, I’m loving this mix! 🌱 Why PRO-MIX HP is a Game-Changer For those of you unfamiliar with PRO-MIX HP, let’s take a closer look. This soil provides superior drainage and aeration, thanks to its high porosity. The addition of fibrous peat moss and coarse perlite creates an ideal environment for water flexibility. It’s been perfect for the girls as they transition into their final homes. Plus, the biofungicide and mycorrhizae are doing wonders for root development, giving them all the support they need for vigorous growth. The plants are showing off a beautiful, vibrant green, each with its own unique characteristics—no two plants are the same, and I love that! 🌡️ Environment Update: Temps, RH, and More Let’s talk about the conditions the girls are thriving in! We’re sitting at: • Temperature: 26.7°C • Relative Humidity: 62.9% • VPD: 1.30 (I know it’s a bit high, but they’re handling it like champs) • CO2: 800 ppm • pH: 6.18 • TDS: 215 ppm • Solution Temperature: 23.2°C To make things even more efficient, I’ve adjusted the light height, keeping the PPFD around 360 to 400 to save on energy. These beauties are still soaking in the light perfectly, and I couldn’t be happier with how they’re responding. 💧 Watering and Feeding At this stage, the plants are thriving with just enough nutrients to keep them happy. I’ve kept things simple with a balanced solution, ensuring everything stays within the perfect range. The PRO-MIX HP, with its mycorrhizal fungi, is really helping with nutrient uptake and boosting overall health. It’s amazing to see how quickly they’ve adapted! 🌟 Transplants Complete – Progress Feels Incredible! I’m super excited with how everything is shaping up! Most of the transplants went smoothly, and the growth we’re seeing is just amazing. The Papaya Zoap is still waiting for its final move, but it’s growing strong, getting ready for the next step. It’s an honor to work with these genetics—they’re each unique, yet all thriving in their own way. 🌱💚 🌍 Shoutouts and What’s Coming Next I couldn’t do this without the support of my amazing sponsors and all of you, Grow Fam! A huge shoutout to TrolMaster and Aptus Holland for their top-notch gear and nutrients, and of course, to all my followers—whether you’ve been here from the start or are new to the journey, thank you for the love and support! 💚🙏 Don’t forget to check out my Instagram and YouTube, where the Seed to Harvest Series just kicked off! I’m going deep into all the gear, techniques, and day-to-day grow updates you see here. Exclusive content and more are waiting for you on those platforms, so come by and join the fun! Growers Love to everyone, and here’s to another epic week of growth! 💚🌱 Let’s keep pushing the limits and making magic happen. • 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 P.S. Let’s talk about these new Model One LED bars I’m running. 🌿💡 They’re not just any lights—these are full-spectrum beasts designed to give my plants exactly what they need at every stage of growth. The real magic, though? The dimming feature. With just a quick adjustment, I can dial down the intensity without sacrificing the quality of the light. This means I’m saving on energy costs while still delivering top-tier PAR and maintaining a balanced spectrum. It’s not just about blasting plants with light; it’s about giving them the right light at the right time. By fine-tuning the PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density), I’m hitting that sweet spot where the plants thrive, and I don’t have to run the LEDs at full power. So, while I save a bit on electricity, my plants still get the perfect environment to reach their full potential. 🌱✨ This level of control lets me optimize the growth, and trust me, my plants are loving it—just another reason I’m thrilled with the Model One setup. 💚💚💚 Growers Love everyone 💚💚💚

The girls bounced back very nicely from their topping! They are growing out, rather than up and are on their way to filling out my tent. I will be transplanting these ladies next week, probably to a 4 gallon tall pot. I am thinking I want to flower sooner rather than waiting the typical 8 weeks of Veg that I usually do…

Starting Week 2! All three ladies doing great... Blueberry is the beast of the three and Amnesia Haze the runt (as expected). Light moved up to 30" and 100% and dropped humidity to 60%. Week 2 coming to a close today! Starting Week 3 tomorrow.

The plant is nice and short and stalkie with a skunk smell. Really healthy and easy to grow

She went from 40cm to 73cm within 5 days. Week 5. Day 1

Plant 2 harvested 8.5 weeks from seed to harvest Plant 1 harvested 9 weeks from seed to harvest These ones swelled up and grew at lightning speed compared to the rest... wish that third seed had germinated now ;) I'm putting Ripper Seeds autos up in the top spot for now, 100% - this and Zombie Kush auto grow last year have been huge yields and really fast to grow. They just have these immense top colas (for those who prefer to leave the plant untouched - I don't do anything to my plants, no defoliation, LST, etc. Mostly because I'm really lazy when it comes to these things.

This was an easy grow, and had some amazing results. This is some of my best homegrown to date ❤️ the ladies were easy to manage, no PM, pests or disease. The root balls were enormous, wasn’t much soil to recover. They got heavy in the end from the weight but managed to stay upright for the most part. They were big stretchers , prepare for that, scrog was a good way to go but some of the eager beavers got away from me, which ended in some massive colas. Overall easy to grow, no surprises and you won’t regret the results! 10/10 ❤️👊🤤

High quality flowers, Very dense and aromatic,it smells like candy in my house.A very easy plant to grow, it has gone through multiple bad weather without losing either vigor or production. I recommend it to everyone, Expert or not.thank you fast buds for your Work and the Contest.

Correct weeknumbers are difficult in a perpetual grow lol🙃 Little update with all the strains. Runtz XL(more xxxx small lol) was drowned as can be seen, no hole in that pot>drilled them today. As small as she is she is the second plant that entered flowering stage. Red Gorilla girl XL was in my vertical garden system, didnt respond well its leaves started to wilt, the pot got replaced somewhere a little more temperate. The lsd-25 seems to be okay in the vertical wall. The Purple punch is well into flower ready to develop nugs in next 2 weeks Happy growing peeps
