07.07. F9 There’s a moment in every grow when you stop looking at individual plants… …and start looking at a canopy. I think this week was that moment. Four days can make a surprising difference once the stretch begins. Every morning the tops seem to have climbed a little higher, every evening the canopy looks a little fuller. The topping has completely changed the way these girls are growing. Instead of racing upward with one dominant stem, they’ve become a team. Every branch wants a seat in the front row. Standing in front of the tent now feels different than it did a couple of weeks ago. Back then I was still shaping the plants. Now they’re shaping themselves. That’s probably my favorite part of growing. You spend weeks making small decisions—when to transplant, when to top, when to wait instead of interfering—and then, almost overnight, everything starts making sense. The AutoPot system has settled in beautifully. The plants are drinking on their own schedule, the roots have obviously found what they were looking for, and all I really have to do now is observe and guide. Less correction. More trust. The canopy is filling in exactly the way I’d hoped. New growth is vibrant, side branches are stretching with confidence, and the structure is becoming surprisingly even. Looking across the tent, it’s hard to pick a single leader anymore. That’s a good problem to have. The next challenge won’t be growing bigger. It’ll be growing smarter. As the stretch continues, airflow, light penetration and canopy management become far more important than simply adding more leaves. Every decision from here on will influence what these flowers look like a month from now. This phase always reminds me that great harvests aren’t created during harvest week. They’re created right now. One careful decision at a time. And if these first nine days of flower are any indication… The Tropical Ice Cream One is finally starting to reveal what she’s capable of.

Graduated, and am off from work for a few weeks, so went overboard on photos. Plant is doing well, leaves are starting to turn yellow (strain trait). Can't wait for the harvest and being able legally gift my xmas ornaments to my cousins during our "cousins walk" at our family xmas party.

The end of the Sweet Seeds Cup 🏆. I can only praise this strain 👍. She grew perfectly, did not cause any problems and was very healthy :-). The best thing about the whole strain is its smell and taste (very kushy ). It was also a very difficult decision between 9 and 10 stars, but there was still something missing for 10 stars, but it was very, very close 😋. I can wholeheartedly recommend this strain to anyone who is looking for a very good Kush 👍. I'm already looking forward to the next Sweet Seeds St strains. You are doing a great job, and for me you have some of the best genetics on the world market 👍.

It has been a journey but I'm happy it's over. Would have liked it to go another week or 2 but I'm happy with what I got. She smells like cotton candy and I can't wait for a taste. ☺️🤤

Moved these out back. They seem happy!

Day 81 - Rock machine & Doctors Choice #1 getting cut down today! I am so glad I decided to let them go another 2 weeks because buds on both plants got much thicker the last 2 weeks. DC#1 has a strong fruity smell & has purple hues all over the bud & the Rock machine is caked in crystals and has more of a gassy smell! Can’t wait to see how they smoke, stay tuned for the harvest update & make sure to go check out Doctors Choice for some 🔥 genetics! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!🙏🏼✌️🏼🌱

Went on a holiday this week, left her with a new solution at the end of W6 and changed it at the start of W8. Another reason why I absolutely love Autopots.

Quick update week 3 flower these girls are putting on weight very very quickly. The blue gelato buds are already becoming dense like stones . Watermelon punch literally is the most satisfying smell I have smelt in a while . Wedding cake is the biggest in my tent and most gassiest plant. The terple inhouse genetics are also massive will show the inhouse section next week , just takes to long to take them out of tent

All as planned

Started a little training, cut down the older fan leaves and topped up. I’m adding a tiny bit of root stimulator cause changed the pot size last week so it will to promote a faster growth. Gotta keep this lady low cause the box is quite small. So excited 😆

Responding really well to the 3 tier stacked pots. Started on veg nutrients. filling out nicely. She is showing signs of flower Apr 13

Spent more than an hour to break the foliage and bend, foliage cut 2 times more than the total for all the time before I put two randomly broken bumps in a vapor: the effect is already there and it is rather unusual, an almost sober mind with a certain meditative relaxation and very saturated bodily effects - waves, vibrations, a very pleasant state, which is typical without any load

The trichomes are starting to make themselves known On this one, also the smell is becoming a citrus like aroma which is one of my favorites, also No signs of deficiencies or anything yet so I hope it stays that way.

Well that was a special day, it always make me sad in a way, but this time, I enjoyed the moment a lot. As I wrote in a reply to a comment, things can always be better, and they are with good decisions at the right time. This is the middle plant, not planned for this cycle but one of the 3 Tropicana didn't germinate so I took the Gorrilla Girl I had left from the last cycle, and I'm quite thankful for that! It's so nice to have these geneti contrasts, colors, aromas, shapes. Many thanks for all the help you gave, precious. 19/04/2024 lower popcorn buds seems dried already! But still branches don't crack on bends. Will check again on Monday.

First i have to say i messed up at gemenation 3 of them dyed and had to gereminat again. So: Sweet seeds: Black Cream Gem at 30/3, Veg at 6/4 is now preflowering at week 3 and was the only one that didnt dyed. Zamnesia: Wedding Cake Gem at 6/4, Veg at 12/4 is now at week 2 Bomberry Glue Gem at 8/4, Veg at 14/4 is now at week 2 also Purple Couscous Gem at 11/4, Veg at 17/4 is now at end of week 1 Its going to be a strange diary but because the timelapse ideia makes all sense just to make one Diary. When I was enjoying some smoke from a green gelato came to my mind what if i automated my garden? Hand on in some zigbee sensores and plugs and my Hassio. Done some flows on node red and this is what i have got till now: Fully autometed light: 1 mars hydro ts1000 17.5h hours a day 2 Cosmorrow blooming 18.5 hours a day 1 uvb light 3 hours a day Fan: Temperature controlled ( working on how can i control vpd with it) CO2: Working But Disable( Jq300 not stable sensor it poles from cloud waiting for another sensor to arrive to connect to a esp32 and pole my values) Vent: controles by inou temperature delta Cam: Live feed and timlapse My Hassio gives me telegram notifications and plugs control, ppfd, dli, vpd calculed and the normal temp and humidity. Still No soil moiste control just a miflora but not very accuret still searching for sensor that works to come up with a watering system All its maid to have a <300watts consum so small lamps and no dehumidifier buts very easy to scale it up. Im all open in sharing my work and help on new ideas. Please Coment and help develop it

They’re looking extremely healthy..gave em their first nute feed with the last watering seem to be doing fairly well..fimmed the GG and LST. Did not touch the unkown as it looks smaller to be the same age. Running GHE base line with few extra supplements. ****UPDATE**** Both are LST’d..might rethink the way I tie them. Going for a “coil” type look, we’ll see though. They’re looking great! Hoping for females!

6. Woche Das Mainlining ist abgeschlossen und jetzt darf sie sich auf die Blüte konzentrieren. Das Mainlining war etwas stressig für sie aber am Ende hat sie sich wie ein echter Champion durchgebissen 😉😊
