Hey hey everybody! We are back here this week at the beginning of week 13 and it is almost that time… time to flip? ….I wish…. No, no…. I am trying to be good but I think I came up with a plan that will give me a rough idea of when I will see that light at the end of the tunnel- or we’ll at least flip that light to 12/12 haha- No no it is almost Christmas and things have been crazy over here. With the holiday madness upon us, I can’t tell all of you how much I have appreciated the relative silence (you know how it is, there are multiple fans running) time seems to slow down and it just us and the plants. Quite enjoyable. So as you already know, we are going to be on coast until we fill out the rest of that 3x3 scrog net- however just today on my way into work, I came up with what might be my new definitive plan… I have had a bit of trouble waiting, no doubt it will be worth the wait, but the wait has been difficult none the less… so here it is.. Here’s what I’m thinking- I have this going and I also have some fastbuds growing in the same area. What I am most likely going to do- is wait until it’s time for the fastbuds to come down to open up some space in the 5x5 and the rock candy cake can have all that space to herself- I will shift the scrog into the center of the tent and then flip the light schedule to 12/12 and let it run wild- it’s at this point I will most likely employ a more hands off approach so it can focus all of its energy on producing buds worthy of such a wait. The canopy is getting pretty lush and I really need to get in there and defoliate- I really lucked out, today was the last day I had to work until after Christmas so you KNOW I will be in there tomorrow plucking away at leaves (strategically of course) half kidding I’m probably still a whirlwind compared to some, but I’ve noticed- especially when it comes to autos, that my leaf selection has become much more refined when defoliating. PROBABLY gonna see a BIT less of that tomorrow as I have to open up the canopy but I still plan on being careful. Something else that was super cool who may not be following along with the other journal, happened oddly enough just the other day when I was doing dishes- I was scrubbing away with my phone all propped up so I could watch/listen to dude grows. And I heard the dude mention a contest on their website that I had entered… of course my ears perked up, I leaned in a little closer to take a look and was thinking to myself how cool it would be, even to see my picture in the background and sure enough there it was and they brought it up and commented on the submission and seemed to be genuinely enthused by it and let me tell you I am STILL riding high off that one! One thing that was cool too was a rep at a nutrient company had seen that and congratulated me as well and it was again just so cool and I’m honored to have been on there! I listen to them practically everyday at work- yeah words are not doing it justice right now but I was stoked!!! Other than that, the holidays are practically upon us so I’d imagine it’ll be a whole lot of family activity with a side of unintentional neglect that I plan on keeping to an absolute minimum because we are right around the corner from some excitement in that tent- that thing is going to be HUGE! So we have that to look forward to! And on that note, I just want to say that from our home to yours, I truly hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and I can’t wait to come back and get into the garden talk with all my growmies! Growers love everybody and happy holiday!! 💚🤙🌱🎅🏼🎁🎄

This Strawberry Banana is really taking off!! She has a few rust spots so I flushed last night and just fed her some cal-mag, well see how she does. Her buds are really really starting to stack up.

The weather is very important in making flowers💪🏽Then will report again💚

Buds Incoming & Balcony Patrol Engaged 🐾🌸 We’ve officially hit Week 2 of flowering, and the signs are now impossible to miss—pistils and early flower sites are popping up all over! After running 11/13 light cycle in the tent, I’m seeing the payoff: compact structure, steady stretch, and the first sparkling hints of what’s to come. 💡🌿 This week was all about keeping her supported during this crucial transition. Here’s what she got on her plate: Foliar Silica spray for strength and resilience 🌬️ A full round of Alg·A·Mic, Bio-Grow, Bio-Bloom, Top·Max & Cal-Mag 💧 pH adjusted to 6.6 using Bio pH- 🌡️ A fresh brew of compost tea followed by Effective Microorganisms two days later for that living soil magic 🔁 And honestly? She’s thriving. Strong posture, vibrant color, no signs of stress—and just enough stretch to let those future colas shine. I really feel like she’s found her rhythm now. Bonus moment of the week: My cat discovered the balcony and decided to join me for a little garden patrol. First sniff, first paw on the tiles—it’s officially a shared project now. 😺🌿 We’re stepping into bloom with style, strength, and a bit of feline approval. Can’t wait to see those buds start stacking! Stay tuned—this Red Hot Cookies is just getting warmed up. 🍓🔥

Into the second week of flower now, due for another defol before the stretch ends and the last defol of the grow then let the girls recover and focus on the flowers, cuttings are showing lots of roots 11 days after planting, high humidity in the propagation container and the ezy plugs make it a breeze

Thank You All For This Amazing Day

Just water mollasses and fruit water from here on

Good 😍🔥🔥

Started using chelated micronutrients, calcium sulfate, and Drip Hydros Base B to push the plants even harder. Everything mixed together nicely with no nutes crashing out.

J'ai effectuer un rinçage ,avant brûlure au pk13-14. Comme mes autre fille on attaquer de brûler .j'ai préférer réagir a temp sur elle

Just started week 19 from seed. 67 days of flowering and the trichomes are starting to indicate ripeness. Took a good look and I'm seeing about 2%amber on the buds. The rest are cloudy with the exception of a few clear where new random pistils have formed. Going to give probably about 36 hours darkness. Not really sure it does anything but why not at this point. See you all at harvest time. After roughly 36 hours darkness she got the chop on day 69 of flower. She is trimmed and hanging to dry in the tent at 55% rh. This plant produced small buds for me but they are super frosty. I will post harvest result in a couple of weeks.

I had a lot of fun with this strain and it was grown against 400 growers so let me say PHENO hunting is a true thing. Overall the Bud was a nice dense structure and the smoke on it was smooth and the high nice and even.

Day 78 - pheno 1 was cut down, id normally hang dry the whole plant but decided to do it in branches instead. Second pheno has been left in darkness as i haven't had the time to cut. Pheno one is hung up and drying.. Room Humidity 60/60. As soon as she's dry enough I'll finish trimming her up. Then put them into jars. Might use boveda 60% packs but I'll see. Smells strong! Will post a harvest when both plants have been dried fully an in jars. Hope you enjoy the videos and pictures. Stay tuned.

These girls are really bushing out and they starting to have a nice smell.

Here we are almost at the end of this incredible journey, the tenth week of flowering is over, the growth and progress of my plant shows no signs of slowing down. Every day brings new surprises and advancements that continue to amaze me. The commitment to providing high-level care with Plagron's premium nutrients has proven instrumental in maintaining the plant's exceptional health and vigor. The results speak for themselves, as the plant continues to flower and show robust development. 💪🌿✨ The buds have expanded further in size and density, yielding under their weight, and displaying an eye-catching layer of resin that highlights the vitality and overall well-being of the plant. It's truly a sight to witness and a testament to the benefits of using high-quality nutrients throughout the growing process. The TrollMaster "TENT-X" environmental control system remains an indispensable component of my grow setup, ensuring that the grow room maintains the optimal balance between temperature and humidity levels necessary for plants to thrive. The system's precision control capabilities remain critical in creating an environment conducive to optimal plant growth. 😎💪 The 240W MEDIC GROW MINI-SUN 2 LED light continues to provide stellar lighting conditions, providing plants with a tailored spectrum that meets their specific growing needs. By carefully monitoring temperature, humidity and VPD data via control system graphs, I can make precise adjustments to optimize growing conditions and maximize plant health and productivity. 😍 I'm excited to share a video that captures this week's temperature, humidity, and VPD trends, offering a look at how these advanced technologies work together seamlessly to create the perfect growing environment for plants. It is truly amazing to see how these tools work in harmony to support the growth path of plants. As each week unfolds, I am filled with anticipation for the new discoveries and obstacles that await us in the grow room. With the unwavering support of Plagron nutrients, the continued reliability of the TrollMaster control system, and the exceptional lighting provided by MEDIC GROW LED, I am confident that the next week, as well as the last, will usher in further progress and triumphs in this cultivation journey. Thank you for joining me on this exciting adventure of growing and exploring the wonders of growing plants! 💪👽🚀

Sehen einfach wunderschön aus, habe die für die letzten paar Tage rein geholt da es sonst zu Kalt draußen war Heute wird der Rest im Zelt geerntet und dann bekommen die ein neues warmes, sonniges Plätzchen im Zelt um nochmal ordentlich Blüten auszubilden… Von der Optik absoluter Stunner, Purple in Kontrast zum knall Grün der Blüten, welche später noch Purpeln werden 😍😍

I'm back and since the gorilla glues have been harvested this girl is taking her time and what a yield she's gonna give grandmommy purple

Day 54 from seed started running into some issues,leafs are turning pale with brown spots some greyish spots tips curling upwards shes growing but nugs not as dense as expected shes very short

Eine Reise geht zu Ende, wie ein Freund treffend sagte: "Sie werden so schnell erwachsen". 11 Wochen ist es her, dass ich dieses Tagebuch gestartet habe und bin ganz froh einen super entspannten Grow hinter mich gebracht zu haben. Die Pflanzen haben super auf das Topping reagiert und wuchsen danach mit schnellen Tempo weiter. Jetzt hängen sie zum Trocknen und in 5-6 Tagen weiß ich dann, wie viel es geworden ist.
