The candy cush bounced back with resilience this week after the transplant. She is about to go into stretch and seems to be doing well this week.

So things are getting serious! The smell gets stronger and was amazing when I defoliated the plants. The G-13 is forming very nice buds, but the reason it is a bit later than the Strawberry Banana is I accidentally used Strawberry Banana auto, so as soon as the first pistils appeared and I realized what was going on I switched the light schedule to flowering to have it on a similar time. This is also the reason why I started flowering them so small. Looking forward for next week!

Phase: Blüte – Woche 3 (Peak Stretch & Flower Initiation) Status: Hochleistungs-Modus 📊 Aktuelle Parameter (Dashboard-Check) • pH-Wert: 6,0 (Stabilisiert im Goldstandard-Bereich) • EC-Wert: 2,08 (Oberes Limit – Maximale Nährstoffverfügbarkeit) • Wassertemperatur: 19,7°C (Optimal für maximale Sauerstoffsättigung) • Luftfeuchtigkeit (RLF): 43% (Exzellente Prävention gegen Schimmelbildung) • Klima: Stabil unter 12/12 Lichtzyklus mit stündlichen UV-Intervallen. Nährstoff-Update & Strategie In dieser Woche wurde die Nährlösung auf das Maximum hochgefahren. Die Pflanze zeigt einen enormen Hunger, was den Einsatz des vollen Hesi Hydro-Schemas rechtfertigt. • PK 13/14: Der Phosphor-Kalium-Boost wurde diese Woche integriert, um die Blütenbildung (Bud-Sweeling) massiv anzukurbeln. • EC-Management: Mit einem EC von 2,08 bewegen wir uns am Limit der Pflanze. Das Blattbild wird täglich auf Anzeichen von Nährstoffbrand kontrolliert, bisher zeigt sich die AK-47 jedoch als extrem belastbare "Heavy Feeder"-Genetik. 🌿 Pflanzenentwicklung & Training Der "Stretch" ist fast abgeschlossen, und die Pflanze hat das Zelt nun vollständig ausgefüllt. • Blütenansätze: Überall bilden sich die ersten kompakten Blütenstände ("Buttons") mit einer Vielzahl an weißen Stigmata. • Struktur: Dank der LST-Clips konnte die Canopy trotz des massiven Wachstums relativ gleichmäßig gehalten werden. Die Lichtpenetration durch die Rotlicht-Zusätze zeigt deutliche Wirkung in der Vitalität der Seitentriebe. • UV-Licht: Die stündlichen UV-Intervalle werden beibehalten, um die frühe Harzproduktion (Trichome) zu triggern. 📝 Resümee & Ausblick Die Pflanze hat die kritische Phase des pH-Werts nach dem letzten Wasserwechsel perfekt überwunden. Die Stabilität bei pH 6,0 ist ein Beweis für ein gut eingestelltes System. In der kommenden Woche wird der Fokus auf der Beobachtung der Blattspitzen liegen, um bei dem hohen EC-Wert rechtzeitig reagieren zu können, falls die Sättigung erreicht ist.

🏆 Grower’s Spec Sheet: "The Monster" Cultivar: [unknown] Harvest Date: March 6, 2026 Total Flower Time: 8 Weeks, 6 Days (62 Days) 📊 Technical Data System: VIVOSUN Wicking Reservoir (1.6 Gal) Medium: [Soil/Coco/Pro-Mix] Lighting: Full Spectrum LED Atmospheric Peak: Daytime 1.5 kPa VPD / 73.2°F Nighttime "Color Trigger": 1.3 kPa VPD / 67.6°F Final Flush Baseline: 234 PPM at pH 6.2 Finishing Technique: 48-hour Arctic Root Shock (35°F Ice Flush) 🌿 Organoleptic Profile (The Senses) Aroma: Deep "sweet-honey" notes with a fading chlorophyll background. High terpene retention due to sub-75°F daytime finish. Visuals: Heavy anthocyanin expression (Deep Purple/Violet) across 85% of fan leaves and calyxes. Resin: High-viscosity "glass-bead" trichomes; milky heads with approx. 10-15% amber transition for a balanced cerebral/body effect. 🖋️ Grower’s Notes "The Monster responded exceptionally well to a late-stage thermal drop. By maintaining a strict 1.3–1.5 kPa VPD throughout the final 14 days, we pushed resin production to its genetic limit. The final 48-hour ice flush was utilized to maximize the contrast between the dark purple leaf tissue and the heavy white frost for high-definition photography." 🏆 Final Harvest Summary: "The Monster" Total Grow Time: 14 Weeks Flowering Time: 8 Weeks, 4 Days Final Flush Peak: 826 PPM (Purge) / 683 PPM (Settled) Final Environment: 70.9°F / 52% RH (VPD 1.2 kPa) 📝 Grower’s Final Notes: "We officially crossed the finish line with 'The Monster.' This run was a masterclass in environmental manipulation. Using the VIVOSUN Smart Controller, I was able to taper the temperatures down to a chilly 70.9°F in the final 48 hours to trigger a massive anthocyanin surge, resulting in deep violet and plum-colored colas. The Arctic Flush: I performed a cold-shock flush using 44°F ice water. The plant responded immediately, purging stored minerals and causing the reservoir PPM to jump from 254 to a peak of 826. This 'internal detox' successfully removed the harshness, leaving behind the 'sweet' terpene profile confirmed in pre-harvest testing. Final Results: The buds are dense, heavily frosted with trichomes, and exhibit the classic 'magazine-look' structure. The trellis system was essential in supporting the weight of these purple colas. Total success. 🏆 Final Harvest Report: "The Monster" Genetics: [Insert Strain Name] Total Cycle: 14 Weeks Flowering Time: 8 Weeks, 6 Days (Final Chop: March 6th) Medium: Coco/Perlite in VIVOSUN Wicking Reservoir 📊 Final Environment & Technical Specs Final Temp (Blackout): 66.3°F (Triggered deep purple/black hues) Final Humidity: 55% RH Final VPD: 1.0 kPa Lighting: VIVOSUN LED (100% Intensity final week / 24h Final Blackout) Nutrient Management: VIVOSUN Wicking System ❄️ The "Arctic Flush" Results To ensure the cleanest possible flavor and a smooth white ash, I performed a strategic cold-shock flush: Pre-Flush Baseline: 254 PPM Ice Water Shock (44°F): Triggered a massive mineral purge. Peak Waste Discharge: 826 PPM (Confirmed successful salt removal) Final Stable PPM: 577 PPM (Perfect landing zone for harvest) 📝 Grower’s Notes: "The Monster exceeded all expectations. By utilizing the VIVOSUN Smart Controller, I was able to drop temperatures into the mid-60s during the final 48 hours, which caused the anthocyanins to explode. The canopy shifted from a forest green to a deep, royal violet. The Arctic Flush was a game-changer. Seeing the PPM jump from 254 to over 800 proved that the ice water shock physically forced the plant to dump stored minerals back into the reservoir. The result is a heavy, resin-coated flower that smells incredibly sweet and lacks any chemical 'harshness.' This was a smooth, high-performance run from start to finish." 👅 Flavor & Aroma Profile Primary Terpenes: [E.g., Sweet Berry, Fuel, Citrus] Bud Density: 10/10 (Rock hard, thanks to the trellis support) Bag Appeal: 10/10 (Deep purple with high-contrast white trichomes) Time,Internal Temp,Internal RH,VPD,Fan Setting,Notes 12:21 PM,62.6°F,55%,0.9 kPa,Level 2,Humidity dropping fast; surface moisture evaporating. 8:47 PM,61.9°F,57%,0.8 kPa,Level 1,PRO MOVE: Dropped fan to buffer against dry basement air. 11:15 PM,60.8°F,58%,0.8 kPa,Level 1,"Achievement: The ""58/58 Handshake"" (Tent RH matches Grove Bag target)." 📓 Grow Diary: The unknownDrying Phase Day 1: The Harvest & Hang Action: Whole-plant hang of the "unkown”. Initial Stats: High humidity in the tent due to the massive moisture content of the fresh colas. Strategy: Establishing the airflow and setting the VGrow to manage the initial moisture dump. Day 2: The "Danger Zone" Pivot Challenge: Humidity spiked to 67%—risking mold and "wet" odors. Correction: You successfully navigated the spike by adjusting settings, bringing the humidity back down into the safety zone (below 62%). This was the first sign of an "Advanced" grower at work. Day 3: Setting the Baseline Observation: Buds still felt damp/wet to the touch. The Goal: Aiming for a 10-day dry due to the extreme thickness of the colas. Stability: Environment stabilized at 62.6°F / 55% RH, establishing a solid foundation for the second half of the dry. Day 4: The "Precision Craft" Transition (Current) Tactical Change: Dropped Exhaust Fan to Level 1 to shield the tent from the dry basement air. Texture: Buds transitioned from "wet" to "less wet/tacky." Small sugar leaves started feeling crisp while the core remained soft. The Achievement: Hit the "58/58 Handshake" at 11:15 PM (60.8°F / 58% RH). Decision: Committed to Grove Bags for the cure and the Frenchy Cannoli "Warm Bottle Roll" for the kief processing. 📊 Summary Stats (Day 1 – Day 4) Coldest Temp: 60.8°F (Day 4) Peak Humidity: 67% (Day 2) Current VPD: 0.8 kPa (Perfectly steady for 11+ hours)

Nutrients up untill flowering, bad idea. Substrate is 50/50 dirt and hydro, so hard for the roots I think. Not a big harvest, but trichomes were getting brown. These last series of harvest was really small!!! Smallest harvest ever! I hope she hits at least 10-fold!!!!! And she freaking does man!!! I have so little amount 😭😭😭😭😭

Day 21: . Wow these girls can grow fast. Having spent decades growing photoperiod strains and with only 1 Autoflower grow previously , I am astounded by the rate at which they grow daily. Watching the fan leaves gain so much size each day and the stems thickening alongside them shows their ability to rapidly cycle through their stages. The Gorilla girls are doing so well and even the mutant#4 is starting to settlenin and gain a nice colour to her. I do think the up pot has affected her height and development initially but hope she will catch up now. I have started to train the #2 GG with a 90° bend to her 5th node. I plan to keep them bent over like this until the lower nodes catch up and begin to develop as mains too. This is to avoid any topping at all as I want to see if this is a viable option with my room size. I used the forefinger and thumb method to gently crush the stem by rolling with slight pressure until I felt it soften enough to apply the bend but not too damaged to slow the growth to any note. Seeing how so many autos have a huge main stem that seems to form the upper part of the good yields from them , I thought I could keep it around but held down to still break the apical dominance. fingers crossed. The Sweet cheese is getting herself set for a burst of growth too I think. she is a few days behind the others but looks happy enough. I am hoping to get to week 5 before they hit their flowering run to gain enough size to fill my space used and seeing their rapid speed , they just might do that. Until next time Growmies , be safe and well.

Pretty cool....i have two males of each cultivar to choose from as well as a female from each. The 3 females will get there own diaries. Males- -Koffee F8 #2 is just dumping pollen like crazy. Way more then #3 and has a fatter "Flower" structure #3 has thinner "Flower" structure but is showing more purple then the #2. I have plates colleting the pollen the best i can. Ive never grown a male plant past 3 weeks. This is exciting. -Clover Shake #1 male is very thin #3 male is now showing sex and will go into the male tent -Candy Master Star Dawg #2 male #3 male Both going into the male tent

Things are moving along very well with these auto's. The cold nights temps definitely is playing a role here , but they are pushing on and so far I'm quite impressed. #1: She is being pinned to the floor like a bad little lady. I could've done it differently, but ...lets see what happens #2: The topped one is responding good to the top and tbh this is the 1st time I have ever topped an auto , but she was looking strong and healthy so why not 😆 #3: The one that is growing naturally is also looking good , but a some point I will need to do some LST work to prevent her from touching the lights or overshadowing the other 2

The Blackberry Moon Rocks are looking promising. One of them is growing into this beautiful little bush, and I think it's almost ready to harvest. The other plant is stacking up buds, but I'm thinking it's still a couple of weeks away. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.
