Day 28 and we are in flower !!!. The Purple monkey have really accelerated their growth this last week and have been building flowers for the past 3 days. They are all really healthy looking with nice strong limbs to support the upcoming fruits. There are 2 different phenotypes by the look of them with #3 being slightly different to the other 2 . I have been gently shaping them towards the pots edges without stunting their growth too much vertically. They are very long limbed from their stretching and the nodes lengths are a fairly medium distance from each other so won't be forming donkey di#$s buds but should have some very nice cluster buds with their overall indica leaning sides. At around 18 inches tall and still stretching, these girls could be great yielders. No signs of any issues at all with the addition of the sumo boost which will support the flowering cycle but won't stop the stretch as other boosters can do. this means I can use it from the start of flowering. Banana mash have spent the week stretching past rhe tries and opening up for light. They are a little behind the Monkey girls but are showing starts of flowers now. Their limbs are a lot less solid than the other strain too with a loose limbed appearance more like a bush. 2 of them have been set in a more splayed out mainline approach to keep them low and get the lowers into the canopy too .i have included some pics of the lst to show howbi did itThey have a lot of potential mains now that the apical dominance has been broken. hopefully a ring of buds should form on them both now. the #1 is more natural with a topping only to stop her getting too tall. She has some nice mains forming now too. The Mutant Banana is a really odd lady. she has so many growth tips close together in her bunched up appearance. She is starting to stretch now so will finish quite good I think. I have been growing out 2 seeds that came from previous grows of exotic strains. sadly the pollen "donated " came from another breeders strain but hit most of the crop on a couple of buds so gave me seeds. i am testing a couple out with this run so include them for their exotic connections. The mango cream X is doing brilliant and had to be supercropped over into an s shape to hold her down a little. def female so far and growing very quickly. The Exotic ? is just starting her real growth now but will be a squat lady by the look of her so far. no idea which she is but will be an interesting grow out for fun. The fact that one went into flowering already is a good sign of an auto genetic at least. So there we have it growmies another week done and exciting times ahead in flower. be a safe and well.

🌸 Week 4 Flower Report: Growth, Challenges & Big Changes! 🌸 Hey, Grow Diaries Fam! ✨ We’re here at Week 4 of Flower, and what a week it’s been—packed with challenges, adjustments, and exciting progress! Before diving into the details, let’s start with a note on my flowering timeline. While this is Week 4, I don’t start counting flower days the moment I flip to 12/12. Instead, I wait for the plants to show true signs of bloom. It’s a small but significant distinction that keeps things accurate and aligned with the plants’ development. 🌱 Defoliation: Timing is Everything! Defoliation is a critical part of the flowering stage, and I typically wait until Day 21. However, this week, I tackled it earlier on Day 17 because: 1️⃣ The room was simply too full. 2️⃣ And most importantly—the Papaya Zoap had other plans! She’s a fighter—determined, defiant, and constantly reaching for the moon. Despite intense training like super cropping, she’s still pushing upward, nearly outpacing the LED lights. Challenges like this remind us of a simple truth: gardening mirrors life. It’s about resilience, adaptation, and unwavering determination. 💪 This week, I added a second SCROG layer. While this net will support the flowering colas, it’s also there to strategically manage the Papaya Zoap. Why? Because experience has taught me that if she grows out of the LED’s range, she won’t finish properly—and that could disrupt the balance for every other plant in the tent. It’s all about teamwork, even in the garden. 🌟 Defoliation was intense, removing nearly all the leaves with stems to clear space and boost airflow. The tent now looks dramatically different! For the full before-and-after transformation, be sure to check out my YouTube channel—trust me, you’ll want to see this process up close! 🎥✨ Switching to Aptus Holland Minerals A major milestone this week: I’ve transitioned entirely to Aptus Holland Minerals. 🌊 From now on, it’s just minerals—no more organic inputs. This marks the start of a new chapter, and I’m incredibly curious to see how the plants react to these changes. Here’s the current nutrient mix: • System Clean: 0.5 ml/L • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L • RO Water Conditioner: 0.8 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid: 2.1 ml/L I’m keeping the pH at 6.1 and TDS at 556 ppm, and so far, the plants are thriving. This week also included a thorough system clean, ensuring everything runs smoothly as we enter the final flowering stages. 🌿 Bud Development: Pure Magic! The bud formation across all the genetics is nothing short of incredible. Every plant is thriving, and the canopy is lush, vibrant, and full of potential. I’ve raised the PPFD to 750 for this stage, with temps steady at 25°C and RH at 63%—keeping the VPD dialed in at 1.11. The TrolMaster ecosystem, paired with the AutoPots, makes managing these precise conditions seamless. With more time to focus on the plants, I can give them the daily care they deserve. 💚 Shoutouts & Gratitude A huge thank you to my sponsors and supporters: TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Pro-Mix, Cannakan, and the amazing seed banks. Your incredible products and technology make this journey possible. 🌟 To the Grow Diaries community and all my followers—thank you for your energy, love, and even the challenges from the haters. It all fuels this incredible process, and I apprecilove every bit of it. Special shoutout to Brother Daggadna—check him out on Instagram and show some love! 💚 The plants are heading into the next phase of bloom, and I can’t wait to share how this story unfolds. 🌸✨ As always, stay tuned, stay positive, and let’s keep growing strong together! 🙌 Growers’ love to all 💚 #TrolMaster #AptusHolland #GrowLife #CannabisCommunity #FlowerWeek4 #NeverGiveUp #GrowWithLove #IndoorHorticulture #Defoliation #PPFD #ControlledEnvironment #SCROGNet #DogDoctorOfficial Discount Codes so you can save big on your next check out 💚💚💚 Kannabia - DOGDOCTOR 30% off SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off CannaKan- DOGDOCTOR 15% off terpyz.eu - DOCTOR 15% off The Neutralizer - PORKIT5-DOG 15% off 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 💚 Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love to you all 💚💚💚 P.S. – A Deep Dive into the ICL-300: Revolutionizing Under-Canopy Lighting The ICL-300 isn’t just another LED—it’s a game-changer for under-canopy lighting. Unlike traditional LED systems that project light in a single direction, the ICL-300’s 300-degree design ensures even light distribution beneath the canopy. 🌟 This unique feature means that no part of your plant is left in shadow, creating a balanced environment for lower buds to thrive. Key Tech Specs & Benefits: • 300-Degree Light Distribution: This design fills the under-canopy space with optimal light, enhancing photosynthesis where it often gets neglected. 🌱 • Full Spectrum Output: Tailored to meet the specific needs of plants at every stage, ensuring quality growth from base to apex. • Energy Efficiency: Advanced LED technology delivers maximum output with minimal energy usage, keeping costs down and sustainability up. 💡 • Durability & Heat Management: Built with high-quality materials, the ICL-300 stays cool and reliable, even in intense growing environments. Why It Matters: Under-canopy lighting is a game-changer for growers aiming to maximize yield and quality. Typically, lower buds receive less light, resulting in larfy or underdeveloped flowers. The ICL-300 changes that dynamic entirely by turning shadows into opportunity. 🌟 With light evenly dispersed across the entire plant, you’re not just growing; you’re sculpting a masterpiece. For me, the ICL-300 is more than a tool—it’s a partner in innovation. It ensures that every plant in my grow room has equal opportunity to shine, from the top colas to the smallest buds at the base. When paired with a carefully managed ecosystem, like the one powered by TrolMaster, the potential for consistent, top-quality harvests reaches new heights. This isn’t just about adding light—it’s about adding value, efficiency, and balance to the grow process. I’m beyond excited to see how the ICL-300 transforms the game in my tent, and I can’t wait to share the results with you all! 💚

Aug 10: Blueberry Pie F1 Fast is doing great. Three weeks now moving her into the garage which is enough, and now I can just leave her in the yard which is easier and scores another couple hours of sunlight per day. Nice solid start to flowering, and I like the schedule used this year for the force flowering. This strain is delivering on the promise of being big and fast. Bright sunny day and I’ve got the UV lights on. About five hours today with the UV lights at mid-day. Buds are looking really good. The bud development after 3 weeks is amazing. The buds got visibly much fatter just today. Compared to some fast plants in previous years, this one is about 2-3 weeks ahead. Very well suited to short season outdoor growing, but partially due to full darkness in the garage rather than just phyto-forcing with the far red light as I did last year. I’m still using the far red light, but putting them in the garage provides more darkness and helps get strong flowering started. Aug 12: nice fat buds forming quickly, gotta like that. Aug 14: fast, fast, fast. Flowers are progressing quickly. Added three tablespoons of a 50:50 mix of Power Bloom and malted barley. Added as top dressing and then watered in. Aug 16: cool, overcast all day, a bit of rain and smoky so not a nice mid-August day. Rain should help but out some fires in northeast BC, Yukon, and northwest Alberta. maybe. BC needs rain to break their record drought. #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds

The guys and gals over at the fastbuds team have created some great strains. This plant was super Hardy and took a beating with the weather that we have been having outdoors this year .She was Hardy against most things except the cold that just stopped her growth in its tracks and made the tricohmes frost up pretty fast . I love the colour in the plant and would like to try this again outdoors in cold and summer . I would highly recommend fastbuds to anyone great company and customer service ...cheers canna family and follow along for my next grows also hit my IG account @cannibal19888

Sour wiz is still in it’s stretching phase. Growing at maybe more then 1” a day. Bunch of white hairs coming out and small buds starting to form. The white stuff on my plants is a cal carb foliage spray by xtreme gardening. After 30-40 hrs it rinses off with a decent application of just water. I also added more light to the bottom of my canopy because I’m sick of low bud production down low. If it’s gonna be popcorn nugs they can at least be super resin covered popcorn nugs. Roughly around an extra 160w of led/cfl lights . Helps a lot.

Decided I couldn't wait one more week in which they probably would of benefited from. Cut the plants today and hung to dry. Cleaned the tent after photos were taken, will probably further update this diary later this week although i will not be taking wet weight. Update: Finally out of trim jail happily surprised with the outcome for first timing autoflowers. Plants yielded 70, 188, 170 and 143 grams.Pretty smooth for not being cured but definitely still think I could of done more with this strain without the hiccups and some better top dress/fert for flowering and if i stayed on top of the calmag from the get go. Ended up getting a new oscillating fan a day before I chopped them which seems to be working a charm.Will be looking to get a new extractor and a controller eventuallyy along with a trim bowl to prevent 3-4 days of solo trimming next time.Also need to get the ducting and extracted air out of my room and maybe a dedicated dehumidifier as my AC probably wont cut it during winter. For the tray2grow also will need a water pump for the reservoir to keep the nutes from settling at the bottom of the tank so probably just water next grow with hand fed nutes until thats sorted. Pots took 2-4 days to properly dry out once the irrigation was turned off. Will be cleaning up tomorrow and probably germinating another set of seeds hoping for an even better run Got some freebies from local grow shop of Genehtik seeds and got some Tyson 2.0's that my friend gave me a while back both indica dominants.

1 week from harvest I'm guessing xD Trichomes are around 50/50% brown and white. Can't flush the system properly because I'm using the AutoPot system and airdome, with added Biotabs in the soil mix. But I'm hoping that it wont be nessesary and all the nutrient from the Biotabs have been dissolved by the plant roots.

📝 Summary of previous week: This week, the girls continued progressing well into the flowering stage. They’ve clearly stretching as expected during this phase. i watering them with 1.5L per plant, with one session including 1ml of Canna Terra Vega, 1ml of Plagron Alga Bloom, and 0.5ml of Mycochum from Plant Success. Two follow-up waterings were done with plain water only. There were some signs of yellowing and deficiencies in the leaves, likely due to an imbalance in the soil — possibly linked to the original hot soil mix. In response, light dimming was slightly reduced to 95%, and a plan was put in place to alternate between nutrient and plain water feedings. pH adjustments are also being considered. Despite a busy schedule due to a new job, the plants are developing well, and the grow is staying on track! ------------------------------------------------------------- 9️⃣Week flower : 17/04 - 24/04 💡 Light schedule: 20 hours (06h30-02h30) 📏 Lamp To Plant Distance: 80cm ⚡ Dimming: 95% 🌡️ Average temperature: 20,5° ☔ Average humidity: 65% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #18/04/2025 Today, I watered the plants for the first time using Green Sensation by Plagron, diluting 1ml of Green Sensation and 1ml of Canna Terra Vega into 3L of water. Since I had taken the plants out of the tent, I also took the opportunity to do a bit of cleaning — removing the energy suckers from the lower parts that weren’t receiving enough light and from now on, I’ll only be removing the most damaged leaves as we move further . --------------------------------------------------------------- 20/04 - 24/04/2005 I’ve been watering each plant with just water, about 1.5L each every two days. Next week, I’ll continue with the same approach: one watering with Green Sensation by Plagron, and the rest of the waterings throughout the week will be with plain water only. 💚💙❤️

Another good week of growth. Yesterday I did some small pruning on lower growth and today I cut two fan leaves which were covering lower tops. I will switch to 12/12 light cycle tomorrow. Looking forward to the stretch. Julie is already giving off a great aroma when you touch her. May also buy a net to help with the canopy.
