Harvest time for this lady. She struggled the entire grow, mostly due to light stress I believe. Still with stunted growth, the buds are covered in trichomes and they are very sticky. Will update in 7 days with dry weight and smoke report.

Week 9 - First Week of Flowering 🌸 The dark period has ended, and these ladies came back into the light fully energized and ready for action! It’s just the first week of flower, and they’re all praying, stretching, and absolutely thriving—filling up every inch of the tent. This grow space is officially packed from wall to wall, with each plant competing for its share of light and showing off some of the biggest, healthiest leaves I’ve seen yet! 🌱 A few strategic plucks here and there have kept airflow smooth and light penetration balanced. Those big leaves? They’re a sign of happy, healthy growth. Large leaves help the plant capture maximum light energy, essential during this stage, especially as they start focusing on developing those flowers. When plants grow huge, vibrant leaves like these, it means they’re well-nourished and content in their environment—a true testament to the well-balanced conditions we’ve got going in the tent! Flowering Parameters 🌡️ Room Environment: • Temperature: 26.7°C • Humidity: 63.3% • CO2: 960 ppm • VPD: 1.29 kPa (prime zone for flowering health!) Lighting: • Light Intensity: 835 PPFD (ideal for boosting flower growth) • Solution: pH 5.96, TDS 460 ppm, temp 21.1°C • Medium: Moisture: 100%, TDS: 520 ppm, Temp: 21.6°C Carbon Filter Installation & Smell Management 🌬️🌱 With the transition to flower, the scent profile is already starting to kick in—crazy for the first week, right? 🌸 To keep everything fresh and under wraps, I’ve set up a carbon filter system. Here’s how it’s working: I’ve connected the filter to my Aerofan, which pulls air directly from the tent. This air is cleaned by the filter and released into the main room, where it then passes through another filter before exiting my space. This dual-filter setup means no scent escapes into the wild, keeping things stealthy and the grow room a peaceful, scent-contained environment. Perfect for anyone concerned about keeping their home free from that telltale aroma! 🕶️🌬️ Enhanced Lighting with Emerson Effect 🌞 This week, I’ve introduced an extra 15 minutes of red light at the beginning and end of each light cycle. Why? Well, this red boost taps into the Emerson effect, enhancing photosynthesis efficiency, especially during the flowering stage. By stimulating a little extra wake-up and wind-down light, we’re mimicking the natural sunrise and sunset experience for these plants, which can help reduce flowering time. Not only does it encourage smoother transitions into day and night, but in theory, it’ll help these ladies finish a bit faster, while giving them a little nudge to build more substantial, quality flowers. 🌇 Nutrient Adjustments 🌱 Now that we’re in flower, I’ve swapped out the Start Booster for P-Boost and TopBooster to specifically support flowering needs. Here’s why: • P-Boost brings in additional phosphorus, vital for energy transfer and cell division as the plant channels more resources into budding sites. • TopBooster supports the flowering phase by improving flower quality and density, helping to build those big, aromatic buds we’re after. These changes bring the nutrient mix in line with what’s most beneficial at this stage. All this precise dialing in is easy to manage thanks to the TrolMaster system. From pH to nutrient scheduling, the TrolMaster ecosystem and ThinkGrow LEDs have been the ultimate teammates in this grow journey, giving me real-time data, fine control, and peace of mind. 💯 (Not introducing UV light just yet, but stay tuned as that’s coming soon for an added boost!) Looking Forward 🌟 Next week, we’ll be upping the reds, giving us an even greater chance of activating those flowering signals for a smoother, faster transition through the cycle. I’ll keep tweaking and fine-tuning every parameter to make sure these ladies get exactly what they need to thrive. Big thanks to the TrolMaster system for keeping everything in balance and optimized, along with the supportive Grow Fam following this journey! Your enthusiasm, advice, and support are a huge part of this grow’s success. Keep following for more updates, and stay tuned for what’s next! 🌿✨ P.S. Deep Dive: TrolMaster’s MBS-S8 CO₂ Sensor & Smoke Detector 🚨 The MBS-S8 CO₂ Sensor from TrolMaster is a powerhouse for growers, especially when it comes to optimizing plant growth and efficiency in a controlled environment. This sensor continuously monitors CO₂ levels and integrates directly with the TrolMaster ecosystem, giving you real-time data on CO₂ concentration. Ideal levels of CO₂ can significantly boost growth and yield during certain stages, so understanding and managing CO₂ is key. With the MBS-S8, I can control CO₂ levels precisely, keeping them within the optimal range for photosynthesis. This sensor is a game-changer because it adjusts CO₂ delivery automatically, giving plants exactly what they need without any extra monitoring from me. Meanwhile, TrolMaster’s Smoke Detector is an essential safety device, especially in spaces with electrical equipment, lights, and heat-generating components. This detector can be set up to alert me instantly via the TrolMaster app if any smoke is detected, allowing me to respond immediately to any potential issues. Fires and smoke are rare in controlled grow setups but having this safety measure provides peace of mind and lets me focus on the plants without constant worry. It’s an incredible tool for any grower prioritizing safety and proactive monitoring.

Week 2 Report: The White OG - The Solo Survivor Shines 🌟 She may be the solo survivor, but The White OG is already proving she’s a beauty in the making! With her third set of leaves emerging, she’s entering Week 2 of veg and starting to find her stride. This week has been all about supporting her early growth with balanced nutrition, a perfect environment, and plenty of love. Let’s dive into why Week 2 is such a game-changer and how the Aptus Holland line is setting her up for success. Why Week 2 Veg Is Vital 🌱 This is a pivotal time for any grow. The foundation laid in Week 2 determines how well your plant will perform later. It’s about encouraging root development, strengthening the stem, and building the resilience she’ll need for the big stages ahead. The third set of leaves is a sign that she’s transitioning from her seedling phase into a true vegging plant, which means she’s ready for a little extra care in the form of feeding. Feeding with Aptus Holland: A Total Game-Changer This week, I introduced the Aptus Holland organic-mineral line, and wow—this stuff is incredible! It combines the best of organic and mineral worlds for balanced, healthy growth. What’s Organic-Mineral Nutrition? • Organic Benefits: Enriches microbial health and enhances soil vitality, building a strong biological base. • Mineral Benefits: Offers immediate, direct nutrient uptake for steady, balanced growth. • Why It’s Awesome: Plants get the best of both worlds, growing stronger, healthier, and more resilient. This Week’s Feeding Schedule • Regulator (0.15 ml/L): A silica-based product that toughens plant structure, helps manage stress, and boosts nutrient uptake. Think of it as your plant’s personal trainer—keeping her sturdy and stress-free. 🌟 Why It Matters: Stronger stems = better support for future growth. • CalMag Boost (0.25 ml/L): Essential for developing robust cell walls and producing lush chlorophyll. Calcium and magnesium are like the bricks and mortar of your plant’s structure. 🌟 Why It Matters: Ensures vibrant, lush leaves and steady early growth. • All-in-One Liquid (1 ml/L): A perfectly balanced nutrient blend that provides everything she needs in one feed. Ideal for ensuring no deficiencies as she picks up the pace. 🌟 Why It Matters: Simplifies feeding while delivering complete nutrition. • Start Booster (0.25 ml/L): Packed with root-stimulating microbes and essential nutrients, this is the secret weapon for explosive root growth. 🌟 Why It Matters: Strong roots = a stronger plant overall. She’s ready to soar! Tent Conditions: Consistency Is Key The tent setup remains steady, providing the ideal environment for healthy growth: • Temperature: Warm and stable—perfect for vigorous vegetative growth. • Humidity: High RH ensures tropical vibes and keeps her roots hydrated as she develops her third set of leaves. • Lighting: The Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 200 PPFD delivers just the right intensity to keep her compact and growing strong. Why Aptus Holland? I’ve been a true believer in Aptus long before any sponsorship—it’s a brand that builds strong, healthy plants from the ground up. Their organic-mineral approach gives your plants the resilience and energy they need to thrive. The results speak for themselves: happy plants, lush growth, and vibrant health at every stage. It’s a system I trust completely. 🌱💪 Shoutouts and Community Love 🌟 Massive love to everyone making this journey possible: Breeders, LED brands like Future of Grow, and, of course, all the amazing growers and followers here on Grow Diaries. 🌱 Don’t forget to check out more updates on IG and YouTube (links in profile).

Flower Week 5 Day 35 to 41 - 3/19 to 3/25 Got behind on my attention to these this week. That combined with their age in maturity, they really show stress this week. Feed this week was 1.25 gallons 1 time this week and they suffered because of it. 700ppm total before add-ins. I used 700ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). Then I added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) PH balance this week was 6.5 again. I plan to feed 1.25gal next week with 6.6ph. However starting this week I will be starting a flush cycle of half ppms at about 400 and also decided that I will not be using HP2 - final defoliation will happen as well

wow wow !!!! 404 gr ! from the suitcase!!!!!!!258 gr of wet dried buds!!!!!!! I am impressed with the result, and I don't really believe that I will ever be able to improve it :) It was a truly amazing journey with FastBuds Gorilla cookies auto, my house is filled with a wonderful sweet smell, the buds look really full and very very shiny :) I also collected a lot of sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash:) the girl coped with high temperatures and high humidity throughout her growth, which is why I was afraid of rot, but everything went well!!!! She is amazing. smoke review and dry weight will be up very soon, good luck to everyone :)!!!

Esta semana tome la decisión de cortar una planta anticipadamente, obviamente la más avanzada y madura de todas (la de las fotos con flash), para poder llenar la despensa, obviamente se guardó el peso para añadirlo al peso final. Se quitó la malla y se hizo defoliación para terminar el engorde, quedando solo 3 plantas al menos 1 semana o dos a que terminen de dar lo que tienen que engordar, ya veremos 👍

The Sweet Gelatos are almost there still waiting on the trichomes to ripen. I expect I'll harvest them this weekend. The Gorillas have still a way to go, possibly another 2 weeks or more. They both have produced large thick dense colas but the ZkittleZ are by far the largest and thickest easily as thick as a woman's thigh! I've procured a new light so I've added it as side lighting for now... 800watt led side light! 🙈 Begone popcorn buds and larf!🤭

Última semana. Hice el primer lavado con flawless finish circulando durante unas 12hs. Luego ya puse agua y quedó circulando en proceso de lavado. Es el final y ya estoy ansioso. Esperaba tener listos los esquejes de la próxima camada, pero aún no tengo todos. Así que voy a ver cuantos pongo la próxima vez. Una planta quedó un poco atrasada respecto del resto. Así que voy a ver si la dejo una semana más cuando haya cortado. De todos modos no me preocupa, ya que era la planta que dejé sin guiar ni cortar y era el esqueje más nuevo de todos. Seguiré subiendo algunas fotos por si hay cambios, aunque no creo que haya mucha modificación. Día 47. Las flores estan muy duras. Parece que va a ser interesante la cosecha. En pocos días estaré cortando.

I'd like to say a big hello to all and thanks for taking a look at my first grow! all feedback is appreciated and I am happy to experience growing this plant even if I do not succeed this time. Apologies for the bad picture quality, I will improve this! without further ado lets give this Dwarf a happy life! Pre soaked the canna pro plus coco with plant start at 2ml/1ltr No activity from the plant in the first three days. using a big baggie as a humidity dome which has helped keep humidity high for the 🌱 Noticed on day 5 that the root has made its way through the soil bigtime and was desperately reaching for the light... immediately placed under the phlizon 3000w (630w true power draw) COB LED using only the LED supplemental lights (270w)and started a 2ml/ltr dose of plant start Day 6 - Plant has started to recover from being in the dark too long, starting rhizotonic today also at 2ml/l alongside 2ml/l vitalink plantstart. Regularly misting the humidity dome to keep humidity as near 70% as possible (sometimes with rhizotonic spray) Temperature is between 23c and 27c throughout the day. Day 7 - Nothing much to report other than healthy looking seedling, I've been alternating between the COB (330w) and LED (270w) lights throughout the day, have not to wanted to put them both on together incase I fry her :D Tomorrow I'm starting my week 2 and im seriously considering transplanting to my final pot (smart pot) which is a 5gallon/19liter pot... (will seek advice below) and switching from 2ml/ltr vitalink plantstart 2ml rhizotonic schedule to canna A +B 2ml/ltr canna rhizotonic 2ml/ltr.

Day 38 and it is very fast as this baby has developed, it responded very well to the LST which gave it a more resistant structure with which it will support thicker flowers, it begins to fill with resin with a pleasant citrus / sweet smell. In the next week I will start giving you an overdrive to promote fattening in all the flowers

Took some clones 1 week before flipping to flower but forgot to take pictures. The video of the clones are from oct 1st. The Turnt smelled like chocolate cover strawberries but now are smelling of garlic and pepper with a bit of undertone of strawyberries. The Diesel smelled like lemon pinesol but now smells of citrus mixed with gas. The Banana Clipz smells of berries mixed with skunk. Paradiso smells of citrus mixed with fruit. Lung Buster smelled lightly sweet at first but now smells like berries mixed with a undertone of garlic,funk, and gas . Spilt Paint smells of berries mixed with diesel and funk.

En esta semana transplante a una maceta de 18 litros definitivamente. La planta en si no ha desarrollado muchas raíces por lo que supongo que quedo pequeña por ese motivo, en los próximos días regare con micorrizas para ver si mejora.

This is the beginning of each week. So I flushed them and switched nutrients. They were mag deficient, nitro toxic. Not PH actually. I'm adding co2 next week after I seal the room. I think I need to back the PAR down to 800 but they are still alive and it's over half way done. How any more weeks? I thought this was a 65 day auto. Hydro in a 5 gallon pot could add up to three weeks I heard with Autos. could these go 12 weeks total?
