🌱 Weekly Report: Week 16 Flower – Gorilla Melon Highlights 🌱
Room Dynamics and Challenges
This week marked a pivotal phase as we approached harvest. The decision to harvest Gorilla Melon in two stages allowed us to navigate a potential mold issue effectively. The mold was confined to select areas of dense colas, which were promptly removed to protect the rest of the plant. This experience reinforces the importance of keen observation, especially in the final weeks.
Environmental Parameters
• Temperature: 26°C
• RH: 53.2%
• VPD: 1.57 kPa
• CO₂ Levels: 1067 ppm
• PPFD: 690 µmol/m²/s
• Solution Stats: pH 6.67 | TDS 695 ppm | Temp 18.3°C
The ThinkGrow LEDs and TrolMaster systems shone during this critical period, maintaining precise control over the environment. The addition of deep red and UV light at 100%, with whites at 50%, seemed to amplify trichome production, resulting in a frosty finish across the garden.
Highlights of the Week
• Fading Colors: The garden displayed a stunning spectrum of fading hues, signaling the end of the cycle. Gorilla Melon’s red highlights and frost stood out beautifully.
• Defoliation Success: The earlier defoliation efforts paid off, minimizing mold spread and allowing light to penetrate deep into the canopy.
• Trichome Inspection: The frost level across Gorilla Melon was nothing short of mesmerizing, a testament to her genetics and the controlled environment.
Gratitude and Community
A heartfelt thank you to the community for your support and engagement. The sponsors—ThinkGrow LED, TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, and ProMix Soil—made this run possible. It’s been a pleasure to share this journey with you all.
What’s Next?
With Gorilla Melon harvested, the spotlight now shifts to the other girls in the garden. Stay tuned for their individual harvest reports, smoke reviews, and more as we wrap up this epic series!

Other than spreading folage out to new found space (had two male seedlings), I haven't maintenanced much. I want to get the pH down slow. I'm doing a top up and going to be careful for no big jumps.
I'm gonna take the bins my tank sits on out to give me more grow room for next crop, and to keep reservoir temp down. Check ya later dudes:))))
Oh..I agree that the value of buds far exceeds the amount of vegetables I could ever grow but I'm an outdoors man- it's majority of what I smoke. im doing this strictly as hobby and for more variety.

Plants are stretching and iam multiple topping often, to keep her horizontal,
it looks like she made it through the harsh action by planting her into open ground.
i should have been waiting longer before transplant into the growund, and she was not happy for weeks, but now its fine
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
iam going to let them grow indoors, and make Clones, then iam going to spread the Clones
in my area
/( gifting them to all my Friends, because its one of the best Outdoor Plants for my Country
She is fast flowering and ready to cut before the big Rain in September starts
THE DREAM OF HONEY CREAM- a short Story
In a secluded garden, nestled among rolling hills, a tiny seed named Honey dreamed of touching the sky.
As autumn leaves fell, a kind gardener prepared her a bed of rich earth, whispering promises of spring.
Through winter's chill, Honey slumbered, drawing strength from the nurturing soil.
When spring's warmth kissed the earth, Honey stretched her first roots, drinking deeply from the gardener's
carefully prepared feast below.
Under a protective roof, Honey grew bold and strong.
Her branches reached out, green fingers grasping at sunbeams. The gardener, with gentle hands,
guided Honey's dance, encouraging her to spread wide rather than tall.
As summer blazed, Honey felt a stirring within. Delicate flowers emerged, and soon, the air was heavy with her sweet perfume.
The gardener wove a net of string above her, and Honey twirled her buds through it, each one reaching for the sky.
Days lengthened, and Honey's thirst grew. The gardener brought her cool water each morning,
and Honey drank greedily, swelling her buds with liquid sunlight. She could feel herself growing sweeter, richer, with each passing day.
As autumn returned, painting the world in gold and crimson, Honey stood resplendent. Her once-tiny frame now boasted a
bounty of gleaming, resin-coated flowers. The gardener approached, eyes wide with wonder, and Honey preened under the admiring gaze.
With loving care, the gardener harvested Honey's gifts, each snip a whispered "thank you" for the season's dance.
And though Honey's journey in the garden was complete, she knew her legacy would live on, bringing joy
and healing to all who experienced her sweet embrace.
In the quiet of the autumn evening, the gardener smiled, already dreaming of the next spring when a new seed would dance in Honey's footsteps.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la tercera semana de floración de estas Papaya Zoap F1 de Sweetseeds.
Vamos al lío, me quede con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor.
También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros.
Y también superaron el shock por el trasplante se recuperaron 100%.
El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%.
El fotoperiodo esta a 12/12 para floración. Las jodidas estiraron bastante, y es algo que no me gusta de todas las F1, que cultive hasta ahora.
Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Оборвала веерные листья основного стебля чтобы дать больше воздухопроницаемости.
Текущий NPK профиль такой:
N90:P67:K149:Ca37,5:Mg45
Перевожу на цветение через пару дней.

Jelly cak3 is the new name I came up with lol. But this week is going good. I decided to give her a super chop. A little grow science can’t hurt right. I’m hoping this makes the bud bigger,dense and delicious

So first of before you wonder why tape is falling off the trunk etc, all that is coming off. Little experiment im doing of Super HST, essentially snapped off 3 main nodes and taped them back together. I want to see if this makes a difference in overall weight, quality and any visual differences. The plan is to weigh all 3 total weight individually and compare to other branches of the same node/section of the plant to compare.
Becoming a heavy drinker at about just under 1/2 gal per day. Re-calibrated my PH pen as noticed a few spots coming up and the solution was sitting closer to 5.6.
More upgrades would be needed if I would opt for constantly running a DWC system as its proven challenging with limited length air lines etc to pull her out of the short tent to work on her stature. Supercropped numerous times to keep the canopy at a manageable 12” from the light. At 95 Watts it’ll be interesting to see what can be pulled from 5 Gal DWC keeping it simple 2 nutrients, Nova and Calmag ✌️

Things are really starting to look good. This plant has really stretched a lot for an Indica dominant plant.
The frost is starting to come on now. The tent smells quite nice when I first open it now.
Cooler internals are:
5.9 pH
600 ppm on the 500 scale
1.2 EC
66F solution temp
Can’t wait to see how she fills out over the course of the next week.

Weekly update on these lovely ladies, I did another major defoliation this week taking most the the bigger leafs off opening up the lower flower sites. They're getting close to being done and wow do they smell so sweet. The top colas are the size of coke cans so I really couldn't be happier with how they've grown. All in all Happy Growing.

Sorry its been so long but ive decided to just focus on the pineapple express. She is doing great gonna start flushing her soon and started using final stage bloom nutes. The whole room has a heavy citrus terps smell and literally smells like juicy fruit gum. The frost is starting to come in thicker and thicker and im anxious to finally smoke her

What a slow grower, was the first to form budlets but now the slowest to mature. No real distinctive smell with her yet but some trichome growth was noticed. Removed a few lower fan leaves to allow light to penetrate. Should be a decent yield considering the time she's had to grow.

Week 3F begins. Raised the light a bit, will see if it makes a difference with the leaves.
Bud sites are popping and looking good for their small size.
Thanks for stopping by.

Fastbuds is really starting to make me a fan of autos man there plants grow so fast and so large in such a short amount of time it’s almost unreal. I fell a little behind on the nutrients that’s why the leaves are a little light but it’s coming back around. I have not grown a lot of autos but it seems they require larger amounts of nutrients than photo plants normally do

Now we are going to week four, the plants have started to really vegetate, I have seen rapid growth in cannabis and other plants before, however, this strain is growing very large at a tremendous pace.
I am having no issues so far, I am doing very light training and I started using pH down, as the plants ingest the nutrients the pH is rapidly rising. I hope to preserve perfect pH within the next week and continue on. I have been adding a gallon of water every three days to keep the reservoir at the right level. The plants are receiving a constant PPM of 400.
Not only am I seeing five-finger leaves but I am also seeing seven-finger leaves. The plants are looking very healthy and there are no issues at all so far.
I have Started to train the plants and started mainlining, I have also slightly defoliated the plant. This Plant is overgrowing the free seed from seedsmen.
( in hindsight I have never gotten any good free seeds from seedsmen)
Science:
There are a few ideas in this grow journal that I am toying with.
The first idea is putting low-voltage conduction through the roots of the plants, I strongly believe that stimulating the the roots with electricity will induce larger and stronger vegetation.
The other idea is blasting the plants with low decibel sound waves. We will see.
There is another idea I have with string LED lights. However, I'm going to keep some of my secret sauce to myself.
