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.

All going really well so far they popped out the ground and doing there thing I ordered a co2 bag that should be here in a day or so, and apart from that I m happy no signs of bugs or deficiency’s

Die Vollblüte beginnt! An Tag 17 nach der Zeitumstellung habe ich die Pflanze gelollipopt. Die unteren 30-40% der Pflanze wurden komplett kahl geschnitten und alle Blätter die die Luftzirkulation behindern, wurden ebenso entfernt. Die Pflanze sieht gesund und stark aus, die Struktur ist offen und erlaubt eine gute Lichtdurchflutung. :)

Espectacular esta gelato esta bañada en tricomas, en breves ya le toca cosecha porque no tengo techo y parece que se viene tormenta y calor no nos vamos a arriesgar con hongos

Unfortunately one Cfl lamp burned a part of a leaf on the FIM.Pistils are visible in all plants🌱. A part of them turned a bit darker. Girls are now growing a bit faster.Lst seems to work fine.

Letting mother nature do her thing, lol. Im learning a lot . Got my pots tied down to the deck and supported with other dirt pots and water jugs, lol. I wonder how big they would be if I planted them in the ground! Going to half to hire help come harvest time lol

Week 3 Bloom I did nothing this week I cleaned and changed the reservoir then sat back and let the timers do the work. This week everything grew so much. At the beginning of the week I was concerned about nug spacing. A few days later no concern at all lol. This is looking to be a nice grow. 🤞🤞

Day 29. Girl is going , a bit slower than Ice, i was hoping Chocolopez will be same big runner, still very nice plant is forming. Mars TS1000 - Light is solid and does job. For last week output is on max . Still rotate a lot, but am happy with development. I miss more good wind inside, but i live in shared house ;)))))))))))) even really silent air system is still loud on desired speeds ... Hope next week ill send her to flower. Will top up with Worm Castings and Mycorrhizae during training in few days, when girls will be watered next time. Rhythm is good, every 3 days pots are light. 1.5 liters to each went straight in after photo shoot. Day 31. Applied BioBizz Leaf Coat when lights went off. Loads of training was made today too. Day 32. Now girls are trained daily. Top shoot twisting, leaf tucking, rotation around axis , changing positions inside of tent and so on. Always wash hands before any training, it is a must. Still havent made mind, scrog or lst ... Think tomorrow will be watering day and i have to decide which way to go , i am fliping them at next watering 100%, otherwise again rush to harvest before late spring holidays ... Happy Growing !!!

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** If you like this week, please hit a like, it costs you nothing! 👊. Thanks in advance 😉! From/Desde: 12/08/19 || To/Hasta: 18/08/19 From day/Desde día: 21 || To day/Hasta día: 27 -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- V1: She's still turning with this size, but is lowering the total angle/week, of course she has stopped turning once topped. You can see at the end of the videos the clones i've taken from her. Anyway, 4 days after taking the clones i decided to kill them because i had to grow another 4 plants in September and it's going to bee too much work @time. P4: I did a foliar irrigation this day, and i'm not going to add it to watering calendar. I'm using non PH adjusted water with BAC Foliar spray + BAC Plant Vitality Plus + BAC Pro Active. P9: Pruning and topping time!!. I toped her at 10 cm exactly, abobe the 4th main internode. Also I pruned the first and second main internodes, so I'm leaving 4 main branches to create the plant, i will try to keep them all at the same height. Also i must admit that i don't like nothing the cable i used to fix them to the floor as it's potentially danger for the branches, it cuts like a knife!. Asap i will buy a good rubber covered cable for do the job. Also i will put one of my training structures in the floor, top supported by the 2 horizontal 6 mm aluminium rods i used to LST @images. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Well well well, prunning & topping time 😋!!!. This week temperatures raised a lot in my country full direct to 35º along day due to warm winds coming from inside land, what's called here "Terral", while it's a name, it can be translated as something similar to "Sandwindy" 😰😰😱😷😷. It's impressive how the Alice Kalashnikova (I de love more Alice than Avtomat 😂) did support those high temperatures like nothing. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 15/08/19 - 4,000 ml with all week nutrients @ 1 E.C. PH5.8 *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- V1: Y ella sigue girando a pesar de su tamaño, pero está reduciendo la cantidad de giro semanal, por supuesto parará de girar una vez le realice el topping. Al final del vídeo se pueden ver los clones que tomé de ella. No obstante, 4 o 5 días después de hacerlos decidí matarlos ya que tengo que plantar otras 4 plantas en Septiembre y se me iba a acumular mucho trabajo. P4: Realicé un riego foliar este día, ya que no voy a añadirlo al calendario de riego os digo lo que he usado. Agua sin ajustar PH con BAC Foliar spray + BAC Plant Vitality Plus + BAC Pro Active. P9: ¡Tiempo de poda y topping!. la he podado a exactamente 10 cm del suelo, justo por encima del cuarto nodo principal. También he podado los 2 primeros nodos, así que estoy dejando 4 ramas principales que intentaré mantener a la misma altura. Debo admitir que no me gusta nada el alambre que he usado para atarla a las barras ya que es potencialmente dañino, corta como un cuchillo. En cuanto pueda compraré un cable con cobertura de goma para hacer le trabajo. También pondré una de mis estructuras de entrenamiento sobre el sustrato y las mantendré fijas con las barras de aluminio horizontales de 6 mm que he puesto y que se ven en las imágenes -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Bien bien bien, ¡tiempo de poda! 😋. Esta semana las temperaturas han subido directamente a 35º debido al terral, es insoportaaaaaaaaaaaaaable 😰😰😨😨. Es impresionante como Alice Kalashnikova (me gusta mucho más alice que avtomat😂) soporta estas temperaturas como si nada. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 15/08/19 - 4,000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 1 E.C. PH5.8

So the second week started and I start with grow technique and try to bend down the main line to give more light for the lower sights may increase the yield and potency. Definetly try to make several main colas and If it will be necessary I will use some ScrOG method too. I will update the second week in the second part of the week with more photos about how they reacting the start of the LST. After the natural grow style this is definetly more work and care but I really enjoy to make work with her. UPDATE #1: Start to give more nutrients. Enchanced root developers, high dose, vitamins, hormones, everything. Bend down her allday-everyday, like every 4-6 hours. I updated some pictures and videos before the week II second part. This next weeks crucial about the LST, so try to maximize the observation and acting fast if it is neccessary. Even cutted down 1-1 fan leaves because they blocked the light way so I think this will also maximize the reach of the light. Definetly exicting.

Day 64 Okay so we're entering the last couple weeks things are looking good I've managed to bring the ppm's down I added three of just straight tap water waited 10 minutes and then added my 2 L of nutrients. Doing this for the last couple days has managed to bring my ppm's down a very large amount now it sits at 1973 PPM I am well on my way Day 66 not much to say just checking the trichomes and she is coming along well this my be the last week for her then on to flushing. PPM now 1836 and the solution is 1668 PPM so i'm doing good now Day 67 i'm happy to say that my ppm run off is now the same as the solution i'm putting in and that's a big win so now in going back to 2L of water then 2L of nute's Day 68 she is holding steady at 1550 ppm i now know the watering that works best more knowledge for the arsenal lol Day 69 not much to say. She is putting on weight fast now that i got the ppm's under control but at this point it may be a week 17 harvest as trichome development is still on the slow side ppm 1763 Day 70 by my estimation she had suffered a minor nute lock out that slowed growth a little bit. T he reason i think this is because now that i have the ppm's in check and at a steady 1550-1620 ppm she is ( for lack of a better word ) exploding with growth in bud size. some new growth has doubled in size in just 24 hrs and that's huge, because of this i'm going to keep her in flower for week 16 and how knows maybe 17 before flush..... side note i had a freak problem with my one Aglex light and the veg side of the light along with some bloom light diodes stopped working. with some help i found out it was 2 LED diodes were drawing on the power and in effect stopped half the light from working we bypassed the bad LED's and we are back in business 😀

Just at the end of week # 2 in bloom , LST training is going well and the canopy is pretty full , cooler outside temps allow me to use my co2 burner and they are all looking great with lots of bud sites and liking the nutrient balance, made new nuits today and it went from 1400 to 1150 in two feedings , one more week of stretch and then I will finish the under canopy cleanup and plan on a light defoliation at week 4 of bloom. The 8 Ball Kush is really showing great growth and it’s early on , should be some huge buds this crop , the Blue OG Kush is healthy , it’s my first time with it so I’m not sure what it grows like . Stay Tuned

FLOWERING WEEK 1 - 4TH DAY FLOWERING/WORM TEA

Tangie 1 is flowering Tangie 2 starts flowering Blue dream is still in pre flower

Wow.. week 5 and she is really hungry I fed her 3 times this week (once every 2 days -ish) and she’s really making those pistils cluster like crazy. I have counted all the tops and it totaled to 26: - 7 strong tops (tallest tops) - 10 medium tops (above net) - 9 small tops (just above/touching net) I’ve introduced Bio-Heaven in order to increase nutrient intake by increasing her metabolism with amino acids, I will be able to maximize yield in a hot tent with that many tops. Let’s hope it does its job with helping the plant process despite environmental stress :)

The tops are no different that a photo. Easy to grow Decent yield Terps are decent with floral citrus tones Smokes smooth I will have to try and grow again

01/01/2022 Potting up and amending with 5-2-4 to give a little kick before mid flower #6 is first girl to show herself, also got two different males and only difference is that one is lighter green and other darker green (also dark green one seems to drink more than lighter green) 💚. Other than that structure is very similar I wonder which is a better breeding male? I guess I might pollinate and LABEL TWO BRANCHES ON each female one for each male. and find out.🙏🏻 01/06/2022 #3 showed today, reppoted and into flowering closet, along with#6,who showed earlier this week lights at 14-10 see how they respond to that schedule, which should help use up the 5-2-4 going into week 3 should help with her stretch. Which isn't really that much I believe maybe double her current height, which I will check at lights on.Week ,#3 if I think of it I'll give a good fungal dominant tea.

😁
