🌸 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.

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! 💚

Good week goign from strength to strength. Introduced pk 13-14 at half dosage to start.

The time has come for it to bloom

Well this lady is well into flower at the end of week 4 so I suspect she will Finnish very early possibly around week 8

Harvest time for Green Crack. This strain was a pleasure to grow, low maintenance, minimal fade until the last week, and amazing bud development during the last 3 weeks of growth. I'll update in 7-10 days with dry weight and smoke report. Thanks for stopping by and checking out this grow 👽🌳🔥💚 Update - 73 grams dried, a bit disappointing but for a first run of this strain, not horrible either. Earthy pungent smell and flavor, relaxing strain good for chilling on the couch.

Second week of flowering completed, they are all very beautiful and healthy. I apologize for the poor quality of the photos, I've been very busy lately so I haven't been able to give them much attention. Luckily I automated the watering process, otherwise it would be very difficult days. But completing the initial 21 days, I will do a good defoliation and take photos of them separately. Peace be with you all!✌️🙏

Continuiamo solo con overdrive per un altra settimana continuando a controllare sempre i tricomi, aspettando che diventino lattiginosi per cambiare soluzione e far girare l'impianto gli ultimi 7 - 10 gg con solo acqua osmotica a ph 6 per il flush prima di raccolt

Just picked this little lady up from Dr. Greenthumbs in DTLA. It's a Magic Melon Auto started by Dark Heart Nursery on 2-28-20. Current set up: - Vivosun grow tent (36x20x62) - Mars Hydro TS 1000W LED - Vivosun 4in Inline Fan & 4in Carbon Filter - Oscilating Fan 4in This week's training: LST Tie Down - Tied down the top to be at the level of the next node to channel the auxins to the lower nodes and start widening the canopy

Day 21 BLOOM STAGE At day 18 I had switch my light in 15/9 and in the 19 day I switch at 12/12. At day 19 I had do a little flushing and at day 21 I start with nutrients for bloom. The Twins are very strong and grow very hard I'm happy for this. Tomorrow I put pictures with light off because these are not nice. DAY 23 VIDEO Now we are in the middle of first week of bloom. I have notice that one plant has leafs like sativa and the other one indica. What do you thing about this? they are two differemnt pheno??? Fantastic it's not siames twins but heteroziogots twins DAY 25 end of first week of bloom.....let's go!!!! Happy growing for all 🙏 GGG

✅0,25g Madame Grow - Amino Canna in 500ml water ✅0,5g Madame Grow - Wild Bloom Powder in 500ml water (Every fertilizer was given separately and on different days!) The whole plant is getting a purplish color.

Day 82: Starting CBD on just water, going to start harvesting her top buds shortly. Mexican's large leaves are starting to get yellow so I've cut them off, she's starting to smell fruity. Green is still growing. Just adding the contest video entry. CBD is looking plump, her top tier trichs are looking cloudy. Evening: Put CBD underneath some intense lighting and cut off her top bud, 4g wet, did a quick trim and hung her. I'll let the rest go until the weekend. Sometimes I can't wait and need to cut. Each cut of a large fan leaf, or the stem you get a very fruity & bubblegum scent.

Flowering💐

Strains: Zamnesia – Strawberry Cough | Kalini Asia | Permanent Marker Grow Type: Indoor Plants: 3 Pot Size: 16 Gallon & 13 Gallon Medium: Coco Coir & Perlite Nutrient Line: Athena Week 3 Flower Update We’re into week 3 now and everything is running smooth. Stretch is pretty much wrapping up and they’ve settled into flower nicely. The buds are starting to bulk up and form properly, and you can see things coming together across all three plants. I’m still going through and cleaning up fan leaves here and there, mainly the ones blocking light from hitting the bud sites. Just keeping everything open so the lower sites can get some light and develop properly. No issues to report they’re feeding well, looking healthy, and just doing their thing. This is the stage where it starts getting exciting watching them stack up. Feeding Volume: 6L pH: 6.0 PPM: 1000–1100 ppm Frequency: As needed Indoor Climate Conditions (Flowering) 🌡️ Temperature: 26°C day / 18°C night 💧 Humidity: 45–50% 📈 VPD: ~1.3–1.5 kPa Now the real stacking begins 🔥🌿

Beginning of week... This week I'm dropping the Armor Si (Silica) and adding Advanced Nutrients' Kushie Kush (bloom booster).. Only at half strength for this week.. She is happy and healthy.. Trichomes are busting out everywhere. Smells delicious.. Cant wait to see how she turns out in the end!!! Almost mid week.. She is not much of a stretcher.. Unless something stressed her.. She is stretching, just.. Sloooowly lol.. And not very much.. But looking at the last couple weeks she is stretching noticeably.. Should still yield a decent amount. Smells fucking delicious! Mid week.. Yeah, I'm assuming she isn't going to stretch much more than she has.. Unless some sort of odd, late flower stetch decides to pop up.. But I doubt it.. Still not a bad thing.. She still has more than enough time and room to keep stackin and fattening up! But she seems happy asf to me.. One of the tops (pic) has some clawing goin on.. Like my Purple Lemonade did.. From nitrogen toxicity... But it's just one top.. None of the othet tops have this going on.. And it's literally just 2 or 3 leaves at tge very very top.. As long as I don't see it pop up anymore, I'm just going to keep feeding her like I've been.. If it does get worse or spreads anywhere else, I'm going to go down on the FloraMicro since it has the most nitrogen.. But at least my last grow (Purple Lemonade Autoflower which was VERY nitrogen sensitive) taught me how to spot and quickly correct the issue! No time for failure! Lol... Next day.. She is gonna yield a bit more than the white widow for sure. She is getting chunky fast! Trichomes everywhere.. So glorious lol End of week.. Pretty happy with this week. Her slow veg growth didn't seem to affect her flower development.. She does have some weird flower structure.. And some pretty big new single fingered fan leaves.. As if she was "revegged" or something.. Very much covered in trichomes.. And I think I should cut down on the FloraMicro next week.. She has a COUPLE tops with clawed leaves.. See if that keeps it from spreading.. Guess she may be a little nitrogen sensitive.. Or I should have just cut down the FloraGro sooner but I'm going to go up on the Kushie Kush (bloome booster) and cut out all FloraGro and just give the FloraBloom.. Along with doubling up on the FloraNectar and just still just the recommended amount of Floralicious Plus.. And that's a wrap.. On to the next week!...

Unfortunately I spotted one bud with bud rot on my gelato plant. I flushed it on day 91 of cycle, day 54 of flowering. Today is day 94 and it seems it has not spread out to any other buds(happy days) .. I am watching it closely everyday and also to see how the trichomes are going.. breeder says 65-70 flowering days to be ready.. let’s see.. if I spot another bud rot I will probably harvest it.. I hope that will not happen.. let’s go

Buds growing dense, this week I added 2 uvb-a lamps to help increase resin production. Smell is also great, like sweet lemon tart.

Ok this was my first grow and I made mistakes. -forgot to buffer coco - nutrient burn -started the manlining to early - probably worried to much about every stage these plants. -ended up with fungus gnats And probably appt more I can’t rmeber in the moment. But i learned so much from all of my mistakes and spent so much time researching and seeing in real time how these plants react and grow. I did do some experimentation just a normal top with one blue dream. I topped twice one another blue dream and did a 3 times topped on all the blue dreams and I see why you should at least top three times the eight main colas and spread out the plant I see some of the buds on the one I only topped once not matured at all because there was minimal light other buds were growing so fat it suffocated it basically. I could have probably defoliated and manliness better but ayy. Beginners wil make Mistakes and I’m happy with what came out of these girls. Not excited for trim hail but I am at the same time 😅😅

Having problems with a mite infestation... ordered 50 ladybug larvae to kill them. Hope it works... tips & tricks welcome!

Hey, there peeps! Apologies for not updating my diary as I have been quite busy balancing non-plant responsibilities -.-! Anyway, we are now on day 75 since I ordered my equipment and started germinating my seed and day 71 since I placed my seedling in her first Coco pot! She is now a staggering 4 foot 2 - which was overwhelming considering this is my first grow and orginally only cleared out 2/3 of my cuboard but now it uses the whole space but she's coming along so well! I have also added a LED Grow Light Full Spectrum 50W Red COB as I wanted some extra light for the bottom half nuggests. She is very healthy (I assume from the strong healthy roots) and hasnt shown any major defects other then the initial defects i encountered in week 2-3 and slight light burn on the top cola in week 7 which was from the plant growing so quickly and touching the light, but I did then adjust the light within 2-3 hours. What do you guys think and how did she get so tall consdiering she is an auto-flower and the strain is meant to be indica domiant?

Look at her stalk!!
