The Mandarin Squeeze sisters are growing good. They are starting to bulk, and get some resin on the early flowers. Everything has been going smoothly. I did hst the bigger one some more today. I also have been driving the ph up a little each day to today. They are ready to go. They likely will need a solution change very soon. Thank you Spider Farmer, and Terpyz Mutant Genetics. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇.

🌱 Divine Seeds Week Four & First Flowering Report 🌱 Hey, fellow growers! 🌿✨ Welcome back to our weekly update on the Divine Seeds journey. We’ve reached an exciting milestone as we transition from the vegetative stage into the flowering stage. All our plants are beginning to flower, except for the Big Demon, which continues to grow impressively. Here’s the latest on our Moon Rock, Opium, and Big Demon plants. 🌟 Week Four Highlights 🌟 Our plants are thriving and showing promising signs as they transition to the flowering stage. Here’s a detailed look at each plant’s progress: 1. Moon Rock 🚀 • Growth: Compact and sturdy, maintaining its lush and vibrant foliage. • Flowering: Starting to show initial signs of flowering with small buds forming. • Notes: Moon Rock remains the most compact and dense of the bunch, showing exceptional health. 2. Opium 🌸 • Growth: Balanced growth with a steady transition into flowering. • Flowering: Buds are forming uniformly across the plant. • Notes: Opium is graceful in its transition, maintaining beautiful symmetry. 3. Big Demon 💪 • Growth: Continues to grow robustly with thick stems and expansive leaves. • Flowering: Not yet transitioning into flowering but showing vigorous vegetative growth. • Notes: Big Demon remains a powerhouse, showcasing its strength and resilience. 🌟 Environment and Nutrient Strategy 🌟 Our current environmental parameters and nutrient strategy are as follows: • Water: • TDS: 400 ppm • pH: 6.2 • Temperature: 18°C • Grow Room Conditions: • Temperature: 30.3°C • Relative Humidity (RH): 51% 🌟 LED Lighting and Control System 🌟 We’re continuing to use the Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro LED to provide optimal lighting. This LED is proving to be highly efficient, delivering a balanced spectrum and ensuring even light distribution across our canopy. The TrolMaster Hydro X controller with its 3-in-1 sensor for temperature, humidity, and light detection is helping us maintain perfect growing conditions. This setup allows us to monitor and control the environment precisely, ensuring our plants have the ideal conditions to thrive. 🌟 Nutrient Strategy 🌟 Our nutrient regimen continues with: • Regulator (0.15ml/L): To reduce stress and improve overall plant health. • CaMg-Boost (0.25ml/L): To provide essential calcium and magnesium, supporting strong cell wall development and photosynthesis. The rich organic soil, combined with these supplements, is supporting robust growth and healthy transitions into flowering. 🌟 Key Observations 🌟 • Plant Health: All plants are super healthy, with no signs of nutrient deficiencies or stress. • Growth Patterns: Moon Rock is the most compact, while Big Demon continues its vigorous vegetative growth. Opium is gracefully transitioning into flowering. • Environmental Control: The grow room conditions are stable, with ideal temperature and humidity levels supporting healthy development. 🌱 Next Steps 🌱 As we move further into the flowering stage, our focus will be on: • Monitoring Flower Development: Keeping a close eye on the formation of buds and ensuring optimal conditions for flowering. • Adjusting Nutrients as Needed: Observing plant responses and adjusting the nutrient regimen if necessary. • Maintaining Optimal Conditions: Continuing to use the Lumatek LED and TrolMaster controller to ensure perfect growing conditions. Stay tuned for more updates as our Divine Seeds continue to flourish and transition into flowering. We’re excited to share every milestone with you on this incredible journey! Happy growing, and may your gardens be ever green! 🌿💚 #DivineSeeds #WeekFourVegReport #FirstFloweringReport #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 💚

Week 6: Aroma, Buds, and Excitement! 🌿🌸💨 Hey there, fellow growers! It's time for an exhilarating update on my flourishing journey. We've officially reached week 6 of the flowering phase, and let me tell you, it's getting pretty amazing in my grow tent. Here's what's been happening: The aroma that fills the air when I open my tent is mind-blowing! It hits me right in the face with its funky skunkiness, and I can't help but smile. These ladies are developing some seriously potent terpenes, and I can't wait to savor the flavors when it's time to harvest. 🌿👃💨 Speaking of buds, they are looking absolutely stunning. The development is on point, and the density is increasing day by day. I find myself gazing at them with a sense of pride and excitement. These girls are going to be something special. 🌸🌿🌱💪 I'm thrilled to report that there are no signs of seed pods or hermaphroditism. The ladies are staying true to their femininity, focusing solely on producing those gorgeous, resinous flowers. It's a relief and a testament to the genetics and care they've received. 🚫⚡️ To ensure their continued growth, I've upped the watering to 5 liters every two days. These thirsty beauties need their hydration! Along with the increased watering, I've noticed some oranging on the tops and a touch of purpling on the leaves. It's a delightful display of colors that adds even more visual appeal to the grow tent. 🌿🍊💜 As for the nutrient solution, I've maintained a stable pH of 6.33, allowing for optimal nutrient uptake. The TDS level has remained between 1150 and 1250, providing the perfect balance of nutrients for the plants' needs. ⚖️📈 With everything going so well, I'm buzzing with excitement for what the next week of flowering will bring. The anticipation of harvest is growing stronger, and I can almost taste the rewards. Happy growing, everyone! Catch you next week with more updates. 🌿💚🌸😄

I've given triacontanol a whirl I don't have a control to compare to and I've gone from coco to dwc but there is a shitload of tops emerging , its paste I've used at a rate of 1g to 20l of feed I've only hit her with it twice once in veg and just in wk 1 of flower it does make the feed frothy but not to a problematic point from what little info I've found less is more with it I've backed right off with part a and upped part b of the hydrocrop and next feed is pk am aiming for 1gpw if I manage that il be 😊

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos y también a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾👍 Este es un diario donde semanalmente explico algunas de mis técnicas de cultivo y preparados orgánicos, los cuales llevo experimentando dos años en cultivos de marihuana interior. • Hay dos componentes absolutamente necesarios para cualquier cultivo y de los que no se puede prescindir: La luz y el agua... hoy toca hablar de agua, homenajear al agua que la montaña y el cielo me regalan para mis plantas de marihuana!! 💧💧💧 Tengo que decir, que hasta el momento, nunca he usado agua con cloro en mis cultivos, mi interés por el agua pura de manantial ya venía de antes, pues yo mismo la consumo habitualmente, el cloro es añadido al agua corriente para hacerla potable y acabar con posibles bacterias o patógenos, pero no distingue entre buenos y malos. Siempre he creído que el consumo de agua pura, ayuda a mantener la micro biota de nuestro sistema digestivo, os podría hablar de las ventajas palpables, pero voy a obviar comentarios escatológicos. En el caso de mi modo de cultivo, donde baso toda mi técnica en el mantenimiento e inoculación masiva de Microorganismos de Montaña (MM) en el sustrato, el uso de agua pura sin cloro es obligado. El 03 de julio de 2020, publiqué lo siguiente: GROWING TIP: Agua!! Mineralizada, viva y estructurada. La importancia de la calidad del agua para el cultivo es vital para mi, he recorrido los manantiales, ríos y arroyos de mi zona con el medidor de EC y el de PH para conocer las aguas que me rodean, recojo siempre que hay oportunidad agua de lluvia de la terraza de un vecino, nunca me falta agua pura, desecho regar con agua del grifo. Para mi, y actualmente, la mejor mezcla de agua que puedo ofrecer a mis plantas es agua de lluvia 75% con otra de un manantial de montaña de agua alcalina (Carbonato cálcico PH: 9.2) y muy mineralizada (EC: 0.85), esta agua yo mismo la consumo regularmente, consigo una mezcla de agua pura con un EC alrededor de 0.19, me garantizo así el aporte de calcio y otros minerales. En épocas donde no llueve uso agua pura de manantiales y arroyos con EC de 0.3. Estas aguas las filtro y almaceno a obscuras en mi casa, la cuestión es que el agua parada pierde oxígeno y también desordena su estructura molecular haciéndola caótica. Para poder recuperar esta estructura y oxigenación, el agua debe estar en movimiento como en la naturaleza, yo me ayudo de un agitador magnético para volver a tener agua viva, el agitador crea un vórtice implosivo que en 10 minutos pone las cosas en su sitio y carga de oxígeno nuestra agua, una vez hecho este proceso voy añadiendo los nutrientes uno a uno y sigo agitando hasta el final. El agua tratada con esta técnica, mejora la asimilación de nutrientes porque favorece el intercambio catiónico e inunda de oxígeno nuestro sustrato y raíces, también con esta técnica se pueden bajar las concentraciones normales de EC en un 30% y conseguir los mismos resultados, prueba y verás!! ------ Hoy tengo algunos comentarios nuevos sobre los diferentes tipos de agua que uso y usé. - Agua de río: Comencé recogiendo agua de los dos ríos caudalosos que cruzan mi pueblo, buena agua, no hay industrias en su cauce, pero sin embargo las aguas fecales de los pueblos acaban en él. Por lo que, ante la duda, deseche el uso de este tipo de agua. - Agua de lluvia: Como comenté antes, recogía agua de lluvia desde el desagüe de la terraza de un vecino (PH: 7, EC: 0.07), mucho trabajo, exposición vecinal y explicaciones surrealistas a los transeúntes que me preguntaban, como decir que recogía el agua para mi perro que no podía tomar agua con minerales por tener tendencia a la formación de piedras en la vejiga, en otras ocasiones, respondía con entusiasmo que era la mejor agua para cocinar alubias!! 🤷‍♂️😎 Definitivamente dejé de recoger agua de lluvia de ese lugar, pues el agua que explico a continuación ya viene con los niveles de EC que yo busco... - Agua de montaña: Manantial permanente a 700m de altitud, el PH varía según la época del año, cuando en otoño, invierno y primavera hay más lluvia, el PH está en 7, y el EC en 0.25, en verano el PH sube a 8 y el EC a 0,5, esto es debido a que la carga de minerales es mayor cuando no hay lluvias. Según la geología de la zona, rocas cálcicas, arcillas y basalto principalmente, este agua mineral contiene suficiente mineral (Ca, Mg, Si, Al, Fe, K...) para no tener necesidad de usar aditivos como CalMag. Esta, es el agua que más uso para riegos. - Agua de manantial alcalino: Casi a nivel del mar, muy mineralizada, con menos variación de PH y EC en épocas de lluvia: PH entre 8 y 9.2, EC entre 0.5 y 0.9. Esta agua la uso de varias maneras: a) Es el agua que yo bebo. b) El café y la comida la hago con esta agua. c) Por su nivel de alcalinidad la uso para los diferentes fermentados anaeróbicos, compensa la extrema acidez de estos preparados y aporta minerales ya solubilizados. d) Este invierno la he usado para riegos mezclada con agua de des-humificador al 50%, obteniendo agua con un EC de 0,25. e) Las raras ocasiones en que riego sólo con agua, uso ésta si el cultivo va bien, y si necesitara hacer un lavado de sustrato por sobre fertilización, uso el agua de des humificador: PH: 7, EC: 0.09, que al no contener minerales el poder de disolución es mayor. - Agua de des humificador: Este invierno debido a las bajas temperaturas, alta humedad relativa y aparición de oídio, me vi obligado a tener funcionando permanentemente un des humificador, y para hacer de la necesidad virtud, he estado recogiendo esta agua exenta de minerales, mezclándola al 50% con las aguas del manantial alcalino, de esta manera me he he ahorrado algunos viajes al manantial de montaña. Recientemente medí el consumo de este aparato, y casi me caigo de espaldas al comprobar un consumo de 140w, lo he tenido encendido más de 3 meses las 24h del día y en ocasiones he tenido funcionando dos des humificadores! y yo, engañosamente, pensé que no consumían más de 50w... bueno, después del disgusto de saber el despilfarro de vatios, yo, que me he esforzado mucho en los últimos cultivos, acarreando macetas del interior al exterior, por consumir el mínimo de luz eléctrica y que me ha supuesto obtener unas cosechas medio bajas para lo que estaba costumbrado, ahora, en mis nuevos 4 cultivos la luz no va a ser el obstáculo, ya que ahora los des humificadores están guardados, y voy a alumbrar estas plantas con todo lo que me quepa en la carpa, la media de vatios por planta de mi última temporada de cultivos fue de 40w/planta, esta temporada voy a llegar a los 100w por planta... más luz es igual a más masa floral!!🌲🌲🌲🌲 - Agua de mar (for nerds): Yo no me he atrevido a usarla para riegos, pero con el agua de mar preparo Ormus casero con agua del mar Cantábrico, donde separo el sodio y hago precipitar los minerales: Publicado el 10 de julio de 2020 a) Fuente principalmente de Magnesio, Azufre y calcio para todo el cultivo. El Ormus contiene de un 30 al 60% de magnesio. Yo lo uso sistemáticamente en todos mis riegos, las dosis van desde el 1% al 2%. b) Contiene más de 70 minerales, la mayoría en modo monoatómico que mejora el intercambio catiónico y la asimilación de nutrientes. c) Al ser un producto alcalino se puede usar para subir el PH del riego cuando se necesite. Aumenta muy poco la carga de EC. d) Forma parte de mis componentes en la solución acuosa que preparo para germinación y establecimiento de semillas. e) Almacenado a obscuras el producto no tiene caducidad conocida. • Agua de coco (for nerds). Producto natural rico en azúcares, vitaminas, proteínas y aminoácidos, enzimas citocininas (División celular, crecimiento), ácido giberélico (Estimulación de raíces) y minerales (Ca, Fe, P, Mg). - Los momentos clave de más demanda de enzimas citocininas comienzan en la mitad de la primera etapa de germinación y establecimiento de la plántula, y al comienzo de la etapa de floración/reproducción. En la última etapa de los cultivos es innecesaria. - Los momentos clave del ácido Giberélico comienzan también en la primera mitad de la primera etapa de cultivo y las últimas semanas de crecimiento vegetativo, después de estas etapas la necesidad del ácido decae hasta hacerlo innecesario en las últimas semanas del cultivo. - Yo uso el agua de coco, alternándola con otros nutrientes, sólo en las primeras etapas de la planta y hasta la preflora. - Las dosis dependen de la carga de EC que se prefiera. Como mínimo aconsejo una carga en disolución de EC de 0,4 o PPM 200. - El agua de coco natural se debe guardar en el refrigerador, como máximo 4 días, pues fermenta con mucha facilidad. y esto es todo por hoy... tengo sed! 😁 Hasta la próxima semana... SALUDOS CULTIVADORES!!🖐️👨‍🌾💧💦🌞💡 =================================

day 31 - My little darlings are going well. Northern Lights keeps looking better day by day, the yellow leaves starts to disappear and became green. Royal Dwarf still looking good and growing well as Royal Jack II. Royal Jack II and Dwarf started to show their pistils two days before my Jack I (day 28), but the Northern still in vegetative state. Day 35 - Finishing my fifth week, first weed of flowering for tree of them, but my Northern Lights still on vegetative state. Lots of new branchs still appearing and they are more thirsty than ever. A few leaves are looking have some nutrient burning, but 95% are fine. Fighting against the humidity that still high - using a dehumidifier and silica to help the process - after two days I got 60%. Im studding the possibility of change my exhaust fan or get one more.

Still trying to push them back to the box look like a jungle in real. The plants needs every day 2 x 10 l osmo water with 2 x 0,9 ml / l TA NovaMax Bloom.

This week made a few oopsies . I gave un-ph’d water to one of the plants “moving to fast” . Started defoliation during this week to attempt to redirect plant energy into establishing a full canopy since flowering has initiated. Whilst defoliating I broke a branch that had to be taped to save it. Humidity went out of whack when I stored 4 prepped 5 gal pots for transplant in the tent sooo I’ve got to buy a dehumidifier bc at one point all my plants fell out in a fit . STILL haven’t filled these pots out, & I’m kinda sure/unsure it’s time to re-amend the soil for flowering. I’m conflicting on waiting until beginning/middle of week 7 so I can flush week 11 & 12 . I think that covers it pretty well Week 5 in the 📚 📕 📖.

End of the first week in the NFT tank. Temperature was higher than normal because of the addition of a 315cdm in the middle if the two 600w dual spec HPS. I put three exhale co2 bags in the room to compensate for the higher temps.

--- Week 3 --- ----- Day 15 ----- Okay ladies are doing great!! Today's leaf sample shows the beginning stages (very early) of most likely manganese or zinc deficiency. Only on Wedding Cake, and only 5% max leaves. Watering today was 2 separate instances. 12 Liters with all the additives and 0.33ml of FloraNova Bloom 1450ppm 6.4ph Second watering FloraNova Bloom 8 Liters 1450ppm at 6.4ph. The second feeding was to top up any micro nutrients that have been causing the very beginning stages of deficiency symptoms. No more Bud Ignitor anymore. B-52 came back and sticks around till week 6 Main stems I was measuring are done growing, other stems have taken over but still only about 1 inch taller then measured stem. Preflowering clusters are almost complete. 4 or 5 days till pruning. *Update* Usually zinc deficiencies are quite rare, but it would make sense due to the lack of FloraNova Bloom in my fertilizing application regiment. I was potentially thinking early light burn, but I tested some stems canopies at 50k lumens (or lux can't remember appropriate term) and it's still showing the deficiency symptoms. If I could give it a % i'd also say i'm about 5% worried of over fertilizing. But due to the plants size and being able to take in previous nutrient levels without issues I am just worrying for no reason really. I'd wager (a hypothesis) the sheer mass of these plants and their huge fan leaves on the Wedding Cake, without any nitrogen or magnesium/calcium deficiencies has drained the zinc as I was barely using any FloraNova Bloom. If the plants we're half or 1/4 size I most likely wouldn't deplete the zinc levels enough to show deficiency. Zinc is crucial for plant development, and is a key player for many enzymes and proteins that lead to processes that help growth and internode elongation. Due to the stretch period transition I hypothesis the stretch itself has drained the zinc enough to show early symptoms. Will update throughout the week on deficiency symptoms, and hopefully they are gone by next feeding. *Update* I wanted to see the internode spacing randomly in the canopy. Here is some info on the last 2 pics (Day 15 - Node Pic 1 & 2) Pic 1 - Great spacing on this main ScrOG stem. 5 bud sites in roughly 5.5 inches length Pic 2 - RED CIRCLE - Will remove this down to the first node producing a preflower bud site. YELLOW CIRCLE - I will most likely leave these unless they get longer. BLUE CIRCLE - I'm fine with this length as it should be swallowed by the bud eventually. Pruning is set for Day 18, this Wednesday. A bit earlier as the inner canopy bud sites are going to need more light very soon. ----- Day 16 ----- GREAT day! Woke up and the canopy tips showing slight deficiency signs are now BACK TO NORMAL!!! Zinc issues can manifest and dissipate within 24-36 hours, and due to the major feeding of full micro/macro FloraNova Bloom it looks like the plant has topped up the reserves and is back to full production. PRUNING - Moved up to TOMORROW. Why? Undercanopy photo shows fan leaf drooping. This tells me the plant has finally realized undercanopy fan leaves are not worth the nutrient expense and are now letting them die off. This allows me to go under tomorrow and remove the first 6 or more inches without the plant wanting to re-grow fan leaves due to it already killing them off. If the plant doesn't want them anymore, I'll just quicken the drop off process. Super simple. Multiple checks throughout the day for deficiency signs today and tomorrow. 6~ hours into light cycle I will do a leaf sample and post pics. TOMORROW FEEDING - Due to the upcoming LOSS of water transpiration mechanisms (fan leaves) I will be feeding about 2/3rds regular water amount (probably only 8 to 10 liters instead of 15). This should help the roots not become wet for too long during the plants loss of removing large amounts of water from the soil through their leaves and photosynthesis processes. I will be aiming for 1300ppm maximum instead of 1500ppm to help with process to not overload the remaining plant leaves. I'll check the water levels ten times more often during that period to "learn" the drinking requirements of the 4 plants. I'll figure out how many hours (X) i'm away from normal feeding (dry time). Since it usually takes 48 hours to dry, I will do these calculations for new water requirements: Amount of liters of water used (average) divided by 48 hours = plant intake per hour. Then after pruning with 2/3rds of watering Amount of liters of water divided by amount of hours before it dried = Plants new intake per hour I will then adjust the original number to the new one, and then do: Plants new intake per hour times 48 hours = New watering amount in liters after Prune. This number will adjust over the days and weeks as bud sites and new photosynthesis transpiration mechanisms increase to offset the original loss from pruning during flowering. I test up to the 2nd knuckle on my pointing finger (the middle knuckle) and will often grab a small fist-full of dirt in areas the roots allow it to "feel" the moisture level. If I can squeeze it and it remains together when I open my palm, they're at the perfect level of moisture content. If water droplets remain on my hand or my fingers feel wet, it's still too wet too worry about it, and if if it crumbles and doesn't form a tight mass from squeezing, it's ready for water. I grab the tiny fist full of dirt from the deepest part of the hole my finger made, usually less than a tablespoon of dirt, i'll then put it back and close up the hole. First Update Day 16 done. More pics and updates later. *UPDATE* Half way through lights on Fixing the deficiency signs meant feeding additional nitrogen in the restricted nitrogen stretch phase. This increase of Nitrogen has given the main stem I measure on the Wedding Cake 1 additional inch in height. I expect this to stop before another inch is grown. Stems on back left Wedding Cake have increased their height as well, still same 1~inch higher than measured stem before this last 24 hours of stretch. Canopy tops are breaking 100k (Lux or lumen I routinely forget which it is) that are directly under the light, 2 stems total effected. 104~106k was seen. I'll probably cut up an old t-shirt into 2 tiny patches and string them up as a shade cloth (yea.. ridiculous right?) over each stem if I get anal enough about demanding perfection from these grows. Light height is at maximum. Will watch tips of those 2 stems and if I see too much white developing i'll McGuyver some weird shade cloth to bring it down under 90k. I expect stretch to end by tomorrow... due mainly to pruning and as well return to normal restricted nitrogen feeding %'s at tomorrow's watering. Zinc deficiency signs are probably on only 1-2% of leaves visually, and have dissipated 50+% of the yellowing developing. Very fast improvement. Most likely due to a 7 gallon root system with 4+ inch diameter trunks. I also pre-feed my pro-mix soil before use with Piranha, Tarantula, Voodoo Juice and molasses, and maintain moisture in the big Rubbermaid it's in (top on no lights) by spraying water and a tiny bit of molasses to re-moisturize the soil until use to inoculate ahead of grow, and that way I don't have to feed fertilizers and then feed these bacteria/microbes during veg as I don't know if the chemical nutrients I use would kill them before making it into the soil. Final pics at end of day today. *END OF DAY* Well.. close enough. Added more photos. No burn at tips, couple are beginning yellow at the very tips, not a concern at all. Leaves are looking a lot better now then even 3 hours ago. Plants are phenomenal. Tomorrow morning at lights-on prune is on. Lots o' pics for this tomorrow. Gonna prob toss up 5-10 for each of the 4 plants. ----- DAY 17 ----- Holy crap 4 and a half hours later I'm done pruning. A hell of a lot more bud sites then expected. This yield could be MONSTROUS. Pulled down the stems that were in the 120k lux/lumen rating and locked em in at 100k. Later today I'll set up a new trellis net above the stems and put in that shade cloth for the stems above 100k lux/lumen. I don't want white tips since i'm being so meticulous, no sloppiness allowed. Fed 1350ppm 6.4ph at 9 Liters My fat ass and stomach push the leaves on the front 2 plants down while mid tent pruning, ignore that it's not hurting in any way it's just me being fat. lol. Water moisture content will now be closely monitored due to such a HUGE amount of defoliation. There were 4x more fan leaves then I anticipated. Couple final pictures later tonight before lights off. Going to give the ladies time to recover today and just let them be. Dehumidifier was broken, but residual humidity is down to 50% currently so will go get a new one today and then hook it up tomorrow to drop it down to 40%. *UPDATE* I'm way too excited to leave them be. Here's a Panorama and a video i'm just about to check works if not i'll make it into a gif!! LOVE this grow. Gonna get MONSTERS I can friggin feel it. *LAST UPDATE* Didn't I tell you I'd MacGuyver the shit out of this grow? oh wait no? it was McGuyver? Well whhhaaatttevaaah is the correct term i'm goin with MacGuyver. I did it. 100K stem canopy Lux/Lumen ratio cause i'm tarded and don't remember which it really is turned to 72 and 63 k lux/lumens/rainbows. Used an old 4X4 trellis. stretched the friggin shit out of it with some twist ties so if that fails over night i'll jimmy up a perma-solution. Cut up a metal porch screen. Tossed it on the stems over 100k. We're good! Till tomorrow! *edit* checkin the photos the lux meter says lux. so it's LUX NOT LUMEN. LUX DAMMIT! FOREVER LUX. LUUUUX! ----- DAY 18 ----- Easy day. Plants are in phenomenal shape. Added pics. Will add more before lights off. Slow day of waiting to potentially feed tomorrow and check soil moisture level before lights off. Dehumidifier is now running. Has to drop the whole basement a good 20% humidity. Expecting 2-3 days before residual humidity hits 40%. Will be aiming for 35% out of the tent, to make up for transpiration humidity released by the plants in the tent. Temps a bit too hot today, opened the roof vent of the tent, temps have dropped 2 degrees so far, I'd like 1-2 more so will keep checking today and maybe add 1 more fan. You'll notice 1 fan is at the bottom of tent aiming up. I positioned this directly under the HID light to push cold air at the bottom of tent up directly at the light producing heat. I might add another to this. Two fans rotating at roughly 2 inches above canopy height (to move but not wind damage stems) 1 for each side of tent. No pics to add for this update *update* Dehumidifier has a loooot of work to do. 1 full container of water is 3% basement humidity.. so this could take 4 to 5 days to bring down to 35%~ but that's fine. It's only a concern being above 50% around week 5+ Evening pictures have been uploaded. Some bud development shots too. ----- DAY 19 ----- 10 liters was the perfect feed for prune. No turgor pressure issues but the root zone is dry. 10 liter feeding at 1350ppm 6.4ph Some fan leaves I left have full matured. On Day 21 I will check all stems to clear any fan leaves one last time blocking light. Humidity is still an issue. Ran dehumidifier all night in basement only lost 1% humidity. Might have to upgrade the dehumidifier. Will watch closely today as I've now chosen a continuous mode instead of a % shut off. If humidity tomorrow isn't below 48% I'm buying a bigger dehumidifier. Bud sites look great. Plants look great, haven't watched stretch since yesterday and it looks like its done now. Next feeding will be 12 Liters as plant and bud sites increase allowing for water loss increases. **** EDIT **** LOST POWER - Total time - 27 minutes. No light whatsoever in tent - 3 minutes. Replaced with - 10 high powered LED white light flashlights and incandescent orange glow camp lanterns. WILL BE WATCHING EXTREMELY CAREFULLY OVER NEXT 4 DAYS FOR HERMAPHRODITES. Lights off for less than 4~ hours should not hurt plant. But I'm paranoid. Will remove any male flower stems, no matter if I lose major bud stems. I'm not getting a seed yield F that. ----- Day 20 ----- Water in roots have been used up. Have to feed a day early. Back to normal feeding 15 liter amount now that the ladies are back to full grow mode. Everything going well dehumidifier is slowly working, basement now down to 47% residual humidity *UPDATE * I didn't want to fertilize two days in a row, there's no deficiency signs and i'm not gonna screw around with over feeding. Fed the ladies each roughly 1 Liter of tap water (10ppm 6.2ph) for 4 Liters total. Water was only given to "breach the gap" between 2 day feedings. Tomorrow they will have finished that 1 Liter watering and be ready for a full proper feed. Tomorrow will be probably doing 18 Liters based on how fast they chewed through the 10 I fed yesterday. Bud sites are very very quickly accelerating in size, plants done stretch 100% certain today. It popped out some fan leaves at the canopy top, and it seems to work cause so far all stems i've checked aren't having lighting issues. Humidity still too high. Got storms rolling through that pump the house humidity 5-10% so it's been a pain to dump 5 gallons of water from my dehumidifier only to come back an hour later and it's back to the original % I turned it on at. I'll be running both dehumidifiers starting day 30 if humidity does not drop enough, then see if 1 can just maintain the 35% basement humidity., Plants in tent produce 5% more residual humidity in tent than outside of tent hence the basement 35% for tent 40%. No new pics, nothin new to show since last update *Update* Took some pics. Some shots have a bright white LED flashlight aimed at them for true color exposure. ----- Day 21 ---- LAST DAY OF WEEK 3 Dehumidifier broke rofl. New one coming in today 45 Pint for basement, much stronger lets pray to the water removing gods that we get down to 35% finally. Been a pain in the ass. Will take photos at end of day. 80~ images in a week is a bit much. FED TODAY - 20 Liters 6.4ph 1500 ppm (Back to full strength) Week 4 fertilizing is same as Week 3, one of the only double weeks to have same fert regiment. (For those wondering how I count my weeks) Week 1 Day 1-7 (Day 1 is the first 24 hours of COMPLETE 12/12) Week 2 Day 8 -14 Week 3 Day 15- 21 etc. etc.

Week 5😃 Unfortunately, I am visiting my family for Easter so there will not be any update after Day 29. Some bad news : I accidentally broke the main canopy. I tried just to bend her a little lower and it snapped. I taped it and hope it recovers🙏 End of Week Update : Finally Home. So what happened these days. 1st : The plant wasn't watered at all (auto-watering system still on the making) 2nd : Main Canopy didn't mend herself after getting snapped 3rd : Still keeping good vibes and energy 🤘

She has started her bloom. She is growing so well. This week I took off all her tie downs. Then 2 days later decided to tie her back down. She has had steady tension on her branches. So when I released her, she tightened back up. With the ties on, there is little reason for defoliation, as of now. She gained height, but nothing crazy. All her main top branches have always been pulled down to be side branches. Everything else was let to grow that came up the center. Really the side branches are the top of the canopy. Surprised I have not broke a branch. 8/26 2 gallons Fed 8 tablespoons Foxfarm Big Bloom, 15 MLS Tiger bloom and Foxfarm Open sesame 1/2 teaspoon. 8/30 Gallon and a half of tea. Cow and worm poop. Every year I'm going to grow a photo in a different shape. This year I just wanted to see how many tops I could make. Looking forward to next year's design. However not as much as I want to see what this voluptuous beauty produces. Voluptuous seems to be very fitting for her. Love this plant, she has been very fun to grow. She also thought me a lot.

🌱 Germination – Dognabis Cup 2025 (Jalousy Diesel Auto · Octo Genetica) Program: Aptus Holland ESP (Enhanced Seed Program) Mix: 1 ml Regulator + 1 ml Starter Booster per 1 L of water Clean coco was evenly moistened with this solution – not soaking wet. The seed was placed about 1 cm deep so the young root can immediately access silicon, boron, amino acids and beneficial microbes. This foundation provides a powerful start to the germination phase. 🌱 The coco remains moist but airy, giving the seedlings the oxygen they need for healthy root development. After 2 to 4 days, the sprout pushes through the surface, the shell still clinging to the first cotyledons – a beautiful sign that life has begun. 🌿 Used setup: • 100 % Coco substrate • Aptus Super Soil Organic Program • california lightworks 550 • Supported by Aptus Holland 🌍 👉 A strong and natural start into the Dognabis Cup 2025 – True Plant Science powered by Aptus Holland. #GrowDiaries#DognabisCup#CrazyLuxembourgFarms #AptusHolland #AptusAmbassador #OctoGenetica #JalousyDieselAuto #TruePlantScience #AptusFamily #CocoGrow #SpiderFarmerLED #SeedToHarvest #OrganicGrow #LuxembourgGrower #GreenEnergy🌱

07.04. Day 71 Day 31 of flower and things are holding steady. The girls are progressing nicely – buds are bulking up, resin production is picking up, and that sweet, fruity aroma is getting stronger. Four out of five plants are thriving with no major issues. One, however, still shows a strong CalMag deficiency – no improvement so far, so it’s under close watch. Environment stays dialed in: 26 °C during the day, 21 °C at night, 50–60% RH, and a VPD of around 1.5. LED is still running at 70%. All in all, the setup is stable and the buds keep stacking – we stay patient and focused! ******************************************* 10L RO Water // ph 6,2 // 1ml/L Regulator // 2ml/L CalMag // 10ml Green Sensation // ph- //
