Week 6 Flower Report: Maturation in Full Swing! 🌟 Welcome to the week where the magic of maturation takes center stage! 🌟 The garden has reached a pivotal moment as the trichomes are bursting with potential. Each one a glittering universe, they are the undeniable stars of this show, taking over every surface with their frosty brilliance. ✨ Watching them evolve is like witnessing art being created in real time – it’s a reminder of the beauty and patience this craft demands. Trichomes: The Frosty Frontier This week, the focus is all about those frosty beauties! • Trichomes are the key indicators of ripeness and cannabinoid production. Watching their progression from clear to cloudy to amber provides the ultimate insight into maturity. • Currently, we’re seeing a fantastic mix of cloudy trichomes with some clear still hanging around – a perfect sign that they’re gearing up for their final push. • Fun fact: Trichomes serve as the plant’s natural defense mechanism, protecting it from UV rays and pests while being our treasure trove for cannabinoids and terpenes. Spectrum Tuning: The Science of Light Light plays a major role in shaping the maturation process, and this week, we’ve dialed in the spectrum for optimal results. Here’s the breakdown: • Whites: Running at 77% to maintain robust overall growth and trichome density. • Deep Reds, Far Reds, and UV: Maxed out at 100% to mimic the end-of-season spectrum, signaling the plants to finish strong. • Deep Reds: Enhance photosynthesis efficiency through the Emerson effect. • Far Reds: Promote stretch and flowering hormone production. • UV: Stimulates trichome production for an extra boost of frost! We’ve also added a timing twist: • Reds & UV start 15 minutes before whites to simulate sunrise. • Reds & UV finish 15 minutes after whites to mimic sunset, creating a more natural light transition. These subtle timing tricks help reduce stress while optimizing light absorption, ensuring every photon counts! šŸŒž Environmental Conditions: Precision is Key Here are the dialed-in parameters for the week: • Temps: 26.3°C • RH: 70.1% • CO2: 800 ppm • VPD: 1.03 kPa With these numbers, the ladies are thriving in their sweet spot, absorbing nutrients efficiently while maximizing trichome development. Lighting Power: • Lower layer at 800 PPFD and the upper layer shining bright at 1500 PPFD. The canopy coverage is perfect for even development throughout the garden. Nutrition: Balanced and Boosted We’ve stuck with the tried-and-true nutrient mix this week but with some strategic adjustments: • Removed Breaking Powder to focus on trichome maturity. • Introduced K-Boost at 0.5 ml/L, giving the plants the potassium edge they need to pack on weight and enhance terpene production. • Feeding solution details: • pH: 6.2 • TDS: 755 ppm • Temp: 20.6°C In the Autopots, the medium stays perfectly hydrated at 100% with: • TDS: 580 ppm • Temp: 22.2°C Shoutouts and Gratitude A huge shoutout to the amazing genetics and these incredible ladies, and a big thanks to Trol Master, Aptus Holland and Pro Mix for the stellar products that are elevating this grow to new heights! šŸŒ±šŸ’Ŗ To all growers out there, remember: Patience is the secret ingredient. Watch, learn, and trust the process – the results will always amaze you. Here’s to another week of growth and gratitude. Onwards to Week 7 with hearts full of joy and gardens full of frost! šŸŒŸšŸ’š Growers Love, Your Grateful Gardener Discount Codes so you can save big on your next check out šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸ’š Kannabia - DOGDOCTOR 30% off SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off CannaKan- DOGDOCTOR 15% off terpyz.eu - DOCTOR 15% off The Neutralizer - PORKIT5-DOG 15% off Fast Buds - DOGDOCT 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 šŸ™ā€Ø With true love comes happiness šŸ’ššŸ™ 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 šŸ’š Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love to you all šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸ’š

Diese Woche war bei der Tropical Ice Cream One eher ein Trainingsmarathon als ein Grow. Nach dem Unfall mit dem verlorenen Haupttrieb musste unser Grow-Monk seine Taktik komplett Ƥndern. Die verbleibenden drei Haupttriebe wurden getoppt und neu ausgerichtet, damit die Dame wieder einigermaßen Ƥsthetisch aussieht. Außerdem musste sie einige der großen BlƤtter hergeben, da sonst das Licht zu kurz gekommen wƤre. Sie sieht ein bisschen mitgenommen aus aber das wird sich wieder geben. Die Struktur wirkt stark, die Triebe stehen sauber und die Pflanze zeigt sich insgesamt recht fit. Bisher hat sie die ganzen VerƤnderungen erstaunlich gelassen mitgemacht, fast so, als wüsste sie schon, dass danach alles wieder schƶner wird. Schließlich kommt sie aus dem "Paradies" (aka paradies seeds ;-P). šŸ‘

Sadly I’ve discovered some rootrot. The PH dropped to 5.2 within one day, I measure PH daily and already noticed some deficiency in the old leaves. I immediately checked the roots and discovered slimey brown gunk on my roots. Decided to cut all the gunk off and clean and sterilize the resivoir. Placed the plant in quarantine with very low light to let the plant focus on recovery and root building instead of growth. This rotting situation will probably set me back for 2/3 weeks but I expect the plant to comeback fine.

15.07.26 So es geht los der erste Tag der Blüte 16.07.26 Ja jetzt warten wir bis sich die Blüten zeigen ich werde wohl anfangen müssen zu füttern aber sicher bin ich mir nicht sie sehen immer noch super aus nur Skunk Haze sieht bisschen hungrig aus OK die Guanokalong Angaben beziehen sich auf 50g für eine Pflanze ich glaube ich mache das Zeug klein und nehme eine Gabel und arbeite es oben ein so alles eingearbeitet hoffe das bringt gut was soll ja Geschmack verbessern gut gegen Krankheit helfen 20.07.26 Noch nicht wirklich was zu sehen Apple Betty ist ein bisschen gestresst hat wieder rote Blattstiele bekommen würde wieder ein bisschen entblättert damit jeder top das Max an Licht bekommt. Die tops auseinander machen geht diesmal nicht da kein Platz aber es sieht gut aus entblättert wird bis max 3 Blüte Woche so kann ich sehen wo sich die Blüten nicht voll entwickeln und den Licht zukommen lassen ich hoffe auf arm lange Blüten bei Apple Betty sind es über 20!! Aber wer nun am meisten abwirft wird die wage am ende zeigen da ich Pflanzen gesehen hab die mit 3 Tops genau so viel Ertrag einbrachten wie mit 10

End of week 6- start of week 7- Plants are looking beautiful it’s about to be an amazing crop the biscotti mintz is still my favorite but a couple of the GMO Punch pheno’s are definitely starting to warm up on me along with the Cookies USA and their fat ass buds ! Honestly can’t wait till the day I can get a bigger space and follow my dreams ! I could grow weed the rest of my life ! I’ve been strain hunting for 2 strains I want to keep and I’ve already got one (Biscotti Mintz) hopefully soon I’ll find number 2!

Harvest came quicker than i thought it would. Taken awhile to update as I've had a few smokes to test after a heavy harvest so sorry about that. Pretty easy one to grow overall, didn't give this grow my full 100% as had a lot going on in my personal life but back to it now! Beautiful looking girl.. She had a 14 day flush as usual!

Week 5 / Day 35 Flower began today - 15/12/2021. Plants have definitely started packing on some buds compared to last week. Can’t wait to see how they turn out over the next 4 weeks. EC is currently a little high, both at 1.6EC, however I believe that it is due to the top layer of the coco drying out leaving salts behind. I think this because there is no symptoms of burn or deficiency, so it can’t be the over nuting, plus I’m using 1/2 of what mills suggest in terms of Base Nutes so I believe it’s the drying out. I will be keeping the EC around 1.4 once it’s stable and only upping the base nutes if they start to seem hungry. It has been less is more the whole run so I’m gonna keep with it. To get the EC stable again, and keep the coco wet, I have began multifeeding 3 x per day during lights on. 2 litres at a time per plant every 24hrs - 6l a day. I have read good things about multifeeding so want to carry on doing it as I’m so far impressed with the results. The string for the ā€œLSTā€ has been left on, but I don’t think it’s necessary at all. I will probably cut them off in time or just leave them on if they don’t harm the plant at all. Due to starting the C4 a week early, I did not want to use it for an extra week again this week, so I have began using the Mills Ultimate PK a week early at 2ml per litre. This can be used for the last 2-4 weeks of flower, so hopefully it all works out. Still haven’t been any nute burn or anything this run which I’m happy about, the girls seem to be coming along nicely and just developing without issues. *touch wood* I am just defoliating a couple of leaves per girl at a time to reduce stress, and only if they are beginning to shade or cover lower bud sites. Can’t wait to see this week compared to the next too! šŸ˜šŸ¤™šŸ»šŸ™šŸ»šŸ’š

week 3 of the flowering stage of MD XXL šŸ™Œ 1 of the 3 is realy not doing good and is yellowing alot, i dont know why this is, i think its heat stress combined with nutrient deficiency but im not 100% sure. I think shes doing better since i went from 3ml/l alga bloom to 4ml/l and adding 1ml/l green sensation to it. Other 2 MD XXLs are doing just fine, šŸ˜‰ its still very hot where i live, around 30 degrees celcius every day, global warming all the way... i wonder what my harvest amount will be! For the people in the Grow Questions, i dont check PH/TDS simply because my budget couldnt sustain the equipment, ill get it next grow. Also the alga grow/bloom line from plagron states that you dont need to check PH levels because the algae in the nutrients will regulate it apparently, I also choose NOT to defoliate since i read alot of different stuff about it. I think i just let nature do its way and only remove those bad fans blocking my beautiful buds šŸ‘¹
