🌱 Week 3 – End of Vegetative Stage 10/04 (Day 22): Watered with 500 ml at pH 5.7, EC 1300. Solution included 2.5 ml/L CalMag + 1.4 ml/L Coco A + 1.4 ml/L Coco B — Deeper Underground removed from the mix starting today. Runoff measured EC 700, pH 7.0. Considering removing a few fan leaves to allow more light penetration to the lower branches. 10/05 (Day 23): No watering today — pots still heavy and moist. The tips of new leaves are showing a very light green to yellowish color. Planning to start micronutrient supplementation directly in the nutrient solution in two days. Plants continue stretching rapidly; one grew 4 cm in the last 24 hours. Roots are now protruding through the fabric pots, indicating full root colonization. 10/06 (Day 24): Pistils visible on all plants — flowering will begin next week 🌸. Tried increasing light intensity to 20k lux, but plants showed stress, so it was reduced again. Still not obtaining reliable results with the lux meter, so I’ve ordered a PAR meter to better control light levels. Watered with 1 L of the same solution as Day 22. Runoff EC rising slightly to 750, pH stable at 7.0. Week 3 Summary — End of Vegetative Stage Strong vegetative finish: vertical growth continued steadily, some plants growing 4 cm in 24 h. Root zone fully colonized — roots visible through the fabric pots. All plants showing pistils → clear sign of transition to flowering. Light management tricky this week; stress appeared above 20k lux. PAR meter ordered for better control. Nutrient mix stable at EC 1300 (2.5 CalMag + 1.4 A/B). Deeper Underground discontinued. Runoff EC ~ 700–750, pH ~ 7.0 → substrate still buffered high, but plants adapting well. 🌼 ➡️ Plan for Week 4 – Flowering Week 1 Nutrients: Transition feed: keep CalMag at 2.0–2.5 ml/L, A/B around 1.4–1.6 ml/L. Introduce bloom additives gradually (PK boosters or bloom A/B if applicable). pH: Keep irrigation at 5.6–5.7 to slowly bring substrate down from 7.0. EC: Increase gradually toward 1400–1500 µS/cm as flowers initiate. Lighting: Use PAR meter to maintain 300–400 µmol/m²/s (~15–18k lux) during transition. VPD: Raise to 1.0–1.2 kPa for better transpiration and nutrient flow. Defoliation: Light removal of large fan leaves if necessary to expose lower sites. Observation: Watch for stabilization of new growth color and confirm consistent pre-flowering on all plants.

Week 4 day 2 since i start germination, and i think they are evolving quite ok. CS1 is for now the queen in all aspects, shes the stronger, the most beautiful formation with no problems what so ever , CS2 is following and CS 3 also but with mutant leaves all over her, i will however keep giving her love and dedication, mb in the end she compensate with some beautiful flowers 🤞 As for the Tropicannas, TP2 its an amazing girl, no mutations and growing as it should, TP1 is recovering fast from her accident 😅🤞 and she is on the way to become a strong and beautiful girl. They are adapting super well to the new ligth 😅 one less solution to find 👌 Day 27 veg And I’ve been kind off busy, sorry i miss 2 days of updates, but between this 5 girls, my veg room and harvesting my flower run, time only stretches so much since one still have a life beyond the love gardens 😅 but non or less here we are and they look fantastic 🤩😆 all showing strong genetics and i thing i will have different phenotypes on the Chocolate department lets see😁 so far the strongest CS still is number one and number three still mutating her self from day one 😆 but she will take all my love till the end ( we never know ) on the Tropicana department, both looking amazing, number one completely recovered from the led accident 😅 end growing in a way t hat i start to think that she will catch up with the rest pretty soon 🤞TP2 is now the tallest plant of them all With 16cm high 👏 Day 28 veg No updates , all going as it should 😅🤞 Little battle between Topicanna Poisen from @sweetseeds vs Chocolate Skunk from @00Seeds (just for fun) TP = Tropicana Poison CS = Chocolate Skunk All i grow is medecine for myself, nothing to sell, dont even ask !!!! Stay safe and do it with love for the love ❤️ 🙏

Week 8 Veg – Go Big or Go Home! 🌱💪 Hey, Grow Fam! 🌿 What an intense week it’s been in the grow room! This was one of those “go big or go home” moments, and I decided to take it to the extreme. I’m holding off on flipping to flower for just one more week because the plants are filling up the space beautifully—I can’t help but push things to their limits and see just how much these ladies can give! 😎✨ This week was all about maximizing growth and creating the best canopy I can. I did a light defoliation, just here and there to open things up a bit, and then came the bending—LOTS of bending. 🌱 I’m working hard to create an even canopy, though with all these different genetics, we’ll see how close I get! 🤞 Regardless, I’m giving it my all, and I’m super pumped to see how everything will respond in the next stage. The final touch this week? I ended it with a bold 36 hours of darkness to prepare for the big flip next week—flower mode, here we come! 🌸 What Went Down This Week: 1. Canopy Work – Bending and training all over the place to try and keep things even. It’s a real challenge with different genetics, but the payoff is going to be worth it! 2. Defoliation – Just a little bit of leaf removal here and there to help with airflow and light penetration, prepping them for that final veg stretch. 3. 36 Hours of Darkness – Closed out the week with a full day and a half of darkness. The 36 hours of darkness is a technique I like to use to help signal to the plants that it’s time to transition from veg to flower. 🌒 By giving them an extended dark period, I’m mimicking the natural shift from summer to fall, when daylight hours start to shorten. This kick-starts the plants’ flowering hormones (phytochrome), helping them shift into flower mode more smoothly and quickly. In my experience, this method helps speed up the flip, reduces early flowering stress, and often leads to a more uniform bloom across the canopy. It’s like giving the plants a little nudge to let them know, “Hey, it’s time to bloom!” 🌸 This technique is especially useful for growers like me who want to maximize the efficiency and performance of their plants. 😊 4. TrolMaster + App Love – As always, the TrolMaster app continues to blow me away. We’re going to dive deep into it below, but trust me, this app makes managing everything a breeze! 👇 Next week, we’re flipping to flower! I’m beyond excited for what’s to come, and I can already tell these plants are ready to explode with growth in flower mode.

Good strain, strong strain and good grow. Regular seed ended up as a female which was my wish. Happy 😁. The yields were more than I expected. Came in 100g give or take on the scale as wet weight. Did a little bit of trimming on some of the buds, but will see how it goes during drying and curing. Great great genetics and Strain.

45 grams total dry ;-) She is clipped and is now lying to dry, there was 211 grams of wet plant material so I expect to have about 50 grams dry - i will update this part later! I have cheated a little, and tasted a bit of the scissors hash and I can seriously relate to the taste of watermelon. Looking forward to tasting her dried flowers so far it promises well ;-)

Guava wächst weiterhin ganz gut, die Blüten fangen langsam heranzuwachsen und man kann langsam ein leichten Duft wahrnehmen. Wir haben die Pflanze am Blüte Tag 21 noch einmal final stärker entlaubt. Wir gießen weiterhin im Durchschnitt alle 4 Tagen 1,5L.

Week 3 finds me a little confused, should I transplant BB2 into her final home today? What’s going on with BB1? Somethings up with her leaves. Is this the pre veg stage? Wait another week before moving them? Any help would be great. 👾 Addendum: what a crap ass week. Cal mag deficiencies, leaf miners and woke up this morning to find my gro pro co2 tub had fallen and took out one of BB3’s leaf. If anyone knows anyone who works for that company, let them know their design sucks monkey ass. Hopefully next week is easier.

And she's off 👊🏻 Got a good bit of growth in this week. Super cropped a few of the branches cause they shot right past the others. Perked right back up though no worries. Officially on flower now, she's a light feeder through veg I had to cut the nutes right down, let's hope I can get a bit into her through flower, she is starting to drink a lot more anyway so we'll see. All good here, couple more weeks and I reckon she'll be good to pollinate.

Tag 25: Die beiden entwickeln sich doch sehr unterschiedlich. Sehen auch völlig anders aus. Naja malsehen wie es weitergeht. Tag 28: Aus Platzgründen musste ich die vordere Pflanze runterbiegen, hoffe sie verkraftet es. Zu allem Übel ist mein Ph Tester kaputt gegangen 😭 ich musste also heute ohne eingestellten ph wert gießen. Glücklicherweise bekomme ich schnell morgen Ersatz. Doch habe ich diesen Ph tester erst seit nicht mal 2 Monaten. Ich könnte heulen das alles so kompliziert geworden ist ......😢

This week I noticed the buds got more bigger but also the calcium deficiency has gotten worse and so to battle that I added gypsum to the medium and gave them two waterings with banana peels 🍌in the water ( I read banana peels give off Potassium, Phosphorus, Calcium, and magnesium) hopefully they bounce back and my yield isn’t affected too bad.

Week 2 for the solo Afghani went smooth. Looked a little slow to develop her first proper set of leaves, but the root development should help speed up her progression. Still feeding off the slow release 444 and is now regularly drinking about 2oz of water every other day. I also spritz the bottom of the outer cup to keep moisture levels high for stretching roots. She's about 36" from the light. Hoping to get a little stretch to make training easier. Added a couple new pics to get the week caught up. Stay tuned, week 3 starts training.

Well, it looks as if one of the 3 plants is a male. I live in denial for one more day and then I toss it. Not sure which plant it is, as I painted over the strain names when I painted the cups grey. Smooth. So I will find out soon. Otherwise, good weather and some good growth. Roots are balled up at the bottom of the dutch bucket reservoir, Im sure, because I let the drip go dry for a day or two and the plants were droopin (coco)

Just feeding and letting them do their own thing. They have done really well for only being in 1litre pots.

- Drying for 3 days, the 2 airports-plants chopped and dried in the dehumidifier and the other 2 hanged upside down as they were. - Humidity -> 40-50% and temps -> 21-24C°.
