1 x Gorilla Cookies Auto Seed Stockers (2015)
2 x Auto White Widow x Big Bud > Female Seeds
setup:
18 x gronest 2 liter
60 cm x 120 cm x 180 cm (2 x 4) growtent
4 l humidifier
25 watt axial fan
15 watt clip fan
ro-filter
bath room with a 50 watts room fan (-> carbon filter not necessary)
...and a lot of odds and ends.
grow strategy:
max yield by stressing with:
1. tiny shoes (2 l fabric pots standing on 3 plastic rings (4 cm) for max oxygen)
2. tiny growspace (17 plants on 0.72 sqm)
3. many strains (8 strains)
4. annoying neighbourhood (mixing old - i.e. bubblegum (late 80's) - with young- i.e. hazeberry (2018) - genetics)
5. no stress by light or food or water
plus:
- no lst - no hst - just leaf tucking
- positioning bigger strains (euphoria, orange bud, haze berry) or just bigger phenos on less intense light spots (end of tent + edges)
- music-rotation: 24 hrs reggae (for sativas) - 24 hrs classicals (because it's scientifically proofed) - 24 hrs traditionals from the hindukush region (for the indicas)
max efficiency (min electricity - max yield):
- light: 23 h on - 1 h off
- keeping the distance of 18" (45 cm) and dimming to the right par (lux) - value depending on growing stages (see sheet: beginning 185 par ( 10000 lux/100 watt )/end 340 par ( 18000 lux/175 watt )) => ends up in approx. 150 watts in average over max 12 weeks
temperatur management:
- using approx. max. half of what the lamp can do keeps temperature low:
my tsl 2000 is pulling max. 360 watts of the wall - i need only 175 watts, results in less temperature than using a 175 watts lamp
- adjusting the temperature by using a humidifier outside of tent:
blown in humidity is soaking degrees and is transported out by fan, works much better than doing the same with pure air
summer extreme: no humidifier: 36°C / 35 rh - with humidifier: 29°C / 65 rh
works for 1-2 weeks of real hot summer days, no mould, no signs of stress in two summers
germination:
seeding in soil
spraying "basic"-water: ro-water (22 ppm) + calmag to 180 ppm every 4 - 8 hours
man versus fungus gnat:
5 days before seeding i'm running the tent with "basic"-watered pots as if there were plants inside - led on, fans on, humidifier on. Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;)
rotating harvest:
the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the second half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in...
nutes:
individual feeding schedule/once a week:
bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic
+ aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive)
individual feeding schedule:
veg: 200 - 600 ppm
bloom: 600 - 900 ppm
water:
ro-water with:
veg: 100-150 ppm calmag
bloom: 150 ppm calmag

Hola familia, ya acabamos l tercera semana de floración de estas critical a granel. Hubo un problema el cual se cree que se está controlando, y es que a raíz de unas bajas temperaturas en horario nocturno se tuvo que controlar temperaturas , lo cual cometí el error de abrir la puerta y romper el ciclo nocturno . Resumiendo el problema está en que han salido varías Hermafroditas, todas las cercanas a la puerta a pero... sabemos que ocurrió y que el problema fue ambiental, rocié las plantas y se quitaron todos los plátanos.
Iremos controlando la situación y seguiré adelante hasta el final , ya veremos que sale.
.
La humedad esta al 45% la temperatura está entre 21/25 grados , y como siempre el ph , ya que es de lo más importante,está en 5,8/6,0.
.
AgroBeta:
1 ml x L Flowering black line , vía radicular.
0,2 ml x L Beta shark, vía radicular.
0,3 ml x L Tucán , vía radicular.

Hi liebe Freunde des Grow sports 😁 ich hoffe euch geht es allen gut, mir auf jeden Fall (bin ein grower mir scheint immer die Sonne aus dem arsch) 😂.
So zum wesentlichen die Woche war ganz OK am 23.04 und am 24.04.22 war nur beobachten am 25.04.22 gab es Wasser (Ph 6,5) mit Nährstoffen + topping (stecki für einen Kumpel machen) für die Lady die noch im 3,6 L Topf steht sie soll ja in den garten aber hab das Gewächshaus noch nicht vorbereitet sprich gereinigt und aus geräumt (ich hab keine lust) muss jetzt aber mal am we anfangen.
Am 26.04.22 gab es dann für die 4 Ladys im 8 L Topf Wasser (Ph, 6,5) ohne Nahrung und ich habe sie alle samt getoppt und schon mal die Stäbe für den Tomaten ring rein gesteckt dann verletze ich die Wurzeln nicht wenn sie am Topf-Rand ankommen.
27.04.22 heute habe ich alle Pflanzen in eine T-Form gebracht sprich einen mainfold gebildet (korregiert mich wenn ich falsch liege, und es doch nur main-lining ist, oder ist das sogar das selbe? 🙄😲😰) leider sind mir an 2 Ladys die Äste beim biegen leicht ein gerissen was die Ladys aber nicht sonderlich beeindruckt hat sie laufen einfach weiter also mache ich mir vorerst keine sorgen bin aber etwas vorsichtiger beim nächsten topping und biegen.
Am 28.04 und 29.04.22 war nur beobachten
Euch allen wie immer ein schönes Wochenende und Mega viel Ertrag bei euren Projekten......

23/1/22: Two of the plants seem to be maturing quicker than than the rest and are the only plants so far showing any amber trichomes. I may need to flush these from next week. the remaining 4 are coming along though they are coming along slowly. Conditions are kept the same as previous week.

D36.
The start of the second week of flower and all is well in the tent.
It's a very low-maintenance grow. I train her to maximize the canopy in such a tiny tent, but that's it.
She has started drinking from the reservoir and has gone through about a third of it in the first week.
------------------------------
D38.
I gave her one liter of water @ pH 6.8, mixed with SF nematodes, humic acid, fulvic acid, sprouted seed tea, and bokashi juice.
I also put two avocado halves on the soil to keep the worm buddies fed and happy.
------------------------------
D40.
I increased DLI to 50, which raised the temp in the tent, so I changed the exhaust to 15 min on / 15 min off to lower the temp again. The average VPD is 1.2.
------------------------------
D42.
The second week of flower is at an end, and there's nothing to report. This grow is so hands-off that it's slightly boring ;)

D61 (21/01/2021): First day for week 5 of flowering. It's incredible how the buds are forming and getting bigger. It easily doubled (if not more) in size in the last 7 days. Since beginning of bloom, I normally gave water every other days. I make sure the soil is dry and the pots feel light when I lift them before giving any water. But it's not ideal cause it means that the plant drank all the water at his disposal and maybe it missed some. I will try a different watering schedule by giving water every 36 hours instead of every 48 hours. I will still make sure the soil his not wet and the pot not heavy (soil full of water) when I will give water. At this stage, they need a lot of nutrients to produce big buds. I will give nutrients every other feeding and only Max Minerals the others. Today I gave 1/2 of the recommended dose of Max Minerals.
- temp: 24-26C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF
- water: PH6.3 , 329PPM , less then a gallon each
- run off: PH6.9 and 1090PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.9 and 940PPM for Banana Kush
- RH: 50% light ON ; 48-49% light OFF
D62 (22/01/2021): Nothing special for today. The lamps are now at 12 inches from higher colas.
- temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-21C light OFF
- no water
- RH: 50-52% light ON ; 48-52% light OFF
D63 (23/01/2021): I gave full dose of Max Minerals and Max Bud and 1/2 of Max Grow. All base on mid late flower recommended dose. Relative humidity % was difficult to maintain low last night. It is normal since I give water more often. I removed leaves to help reduce humidity. Both look and smell sooooo good! 😋
- temp: 24-26C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF
- water: PH6 , 940PPM , less then a gallon each
- run off: PH6.7 and 1270PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.7 and 1100PPM for Banana Kush
- RH: 50% light ON ; 55% light OFF
D64 (24/01/2021): I gave half dose of Max Minerals.
- temp: 24-26C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF
- water: PH6.4 , 360PPM , less then a gallon each
- run off: PH6.9 and 950PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.9 and 1030PPM for Banana Kush
- RH: 50% light ON ; 45-47% light OFF
D65 (25/01/2021): I'm at day 65 and base on the website I bough the seeds, they are close to harvest. They say 65-75 day from seed. My girls are not ready. I guess maybe 2 more weeks. The trichomes are all cloudy for Glue Gelato and 90% cloudy 10% clear for Banana Kush. I think it is time to start flushing. I will only give tap water at proper PH for the next 10-14 days and keep looking at trichomes. I consider also reducing air temperature and humidity for the rest of the grow. We are getting close! 😍😎
- temp: 24-26C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF
- no water
- RH: 49% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF
D66 (26/01/2021): I decided not flushing today. I gave only full dose of Max Bud. Glue Gelato is getting very frosty! She has approximately 50% white pistils and 50% brown pistils but she keep growing new pistils. Banana Kush is less frosty but thicker and look a bit behind in maturity compared with Glue Gelato.
- temp: 24-25C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF
- water: PH6 , 440PPM , less then a gallon each
- run off: PH6.8 and 930PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.8 and 1220PPM for Banana Kush
- RH: 48% light ON ; 47-50% light OFF
D67 (27/01/2021): The electric breaker where all the equipment of my tent is plug tripped. It took me around 20 min to notice it. During that time the relative humidity % went up around 75%. I don't think it will cause anything bad but I wanted to document it. I started the flush today by giving tap water at proper PH. The tap water of my city is around 130-140 PPM. I always let it sit in a bucket for 24h.
- temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-21C light OFF
- water: PH6, 135PPM, less then a gallon each
- run off: PH6.9 and 625PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.9 and 725PPM for Banana Kush
- RH: 48% light ON ; 52-55% light OFF

🐱 These plants are growing painfully slow, i've never really seen anything like it, they look healthy just premature for their age.. we'll keep them going a little while longer, they might just be slow starters.. thanks for reading! ❤️💡🌱

Auto looks done.
Pakistan Valleys look almost done.
Candy may need another couple weeks.
What do u think i should do guys? Should i wait and harvest all together? Or harvest the auto now, then the kush and lastly the Candy? What's the best way.
Also i had been planning to dry them all in my tent. If I do a staggered harvest, i have to build a box or empty out a closet to try and dry them in 😫

Week 14 - August 13
Back from holidays. One week without carrying plants.
All is Ok ✅ the Blumat irrigation system worked perfectly, Aphids are totally eradicated: the Garlic mixture is a miracle.
🐛I found 5 caterpillars on 2 plants: it makes lot of damage on a Bubble Gum I didn’t mention in the diary, but the other are safely. caterpillars are the Enemy N°1 at this point: must check everyday.

Presence of leafminer flies but nothing important.
-Royal Moby, seriously injured by sunburn and aphids aggression: recovering good, amazing stretch (sativa dominant) 140cm high , new branches are healthy. Flowering stage not engaged.
-GMOxZombie Kush, was pretty shocked by aphids and sunburn too but problems are resolved: the plant is not too bad, starting a pre flowering period. 115cm
-Flash Back #2 start flowering. Perfectly healthy, no pests, diseases or deficiency. Gook stretch last weeks, lot of ramifications and booming sites.130cm
-Brake Pad Breath is the most advanced with a flowering stage engaged since 2 weeks. Super heathy, efficient bushy structure with lot of branches: my Favorite!
🌞Daylight 14h15 - 7h05 / 21h11
Around 26 to 32°C this week, hot night, sunny day, little bit of humidity.
💦Watering 1,5L / 3 days

Week 1 - 01/01 to 01/08 2021
HUGE THANKS TO @MARSHYDROLED and @VIPARSPECTRALED!
New surge protectors/heavy duty timers/the good cords.
The LSD-25 itself looks similar to my first run with a very slow growth compared to the other 3 strains i have going now. It is from the same tester kit so I am expecting a small plant overall but the new lights will definitely give me more overall bud.
I have all my seedlings under the P1500 from Vipar as my veg light for the first few weeks to a month. It's SO nice to not have a blurple anymore, the light is way better in my room and on the eyes. The new diodes had every single seedling grow more in 6 hours than it did in the first 7 days under the blurp LED, EVEN the LSD-25. It had no hight to it before the Vipar went in.
While the other 3 are doing better, the LSD is still going to be one of my favourites. I can't wait to smell that earthy/varnish/citrus.
I noticed a bit of spotting on the Dark Devil in my other diary so I added some Hydrogen Peroxide to the spray bottle and it cleared up. All four have been getting constant spritzing from the spray bottle to keep humidity up.
Have no doubt the new lights will make the plant/overall yield.
Thanks for stopping in! Throw down a like and/or follow so i can return the favour 🙌

D64.
We're at the start of the fourth week of flower, and today was a busy day.
First, I had to remove the old lights before swapping in the light from my auto tent. All while trying to avoid trashing the plants in the way too full tent. Not an easy task.
The entire mission, with changing the light in the auto tent as well, took a couple of hours. I wish I could keep the Greenception lights in the tent as they're high-quality lights, but the Kingbrite has a much lower profile and thus takes up much less space. Space that I desperately need considering how insanely much these girls stretched.
One of the tops on the second girl has unfortunately already been bunt by being too close to the light, and I'm sure I will run into light bleaching and probably foxtailing as the grow progress, but I hope I will be able to pull it off with the Kingbrite light.
I also added some wire support to the branches that I super-cropped, as they looked somewhat sad after all the abuse to the canopy while swapping the lights.
------------------------------
D66.
It looks like the girls have FINALLY stopped stretching. Phew!
Yesterday, I gave each girl 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.2 with humic acid and EM-1.
Today, the green lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla Carnea) arrived, and I dispersed them in the tent to deal with the thrips.
------------------------------
D68.
All is well in the tent, but now when the thrips are (hopefully) under control, it's time to address the VPD. It has gotten seriously out of wack due to dropping temps, plus I increased the humidity to make the environment more inhospitable for the thrips.
The temps were low due to the light change as the new one is running a lot cooler, but the temps have also dropped outside.
The heating in the lungroom has been off until now, so I turned that on and lowered the humidity threshold on my exhaust fan.
Finally, I put my small humidifier in the tent, generating extra heat and decreasing the humidity.
So far, the VPD has increased from a terrible 0.4-0.5 to an acceptable 0.9, and I'm hoping it will increase further as the ambient RH drops as we move into winter.
------------------------------
D70.
We're at the end of the fourth week of flower, and all is well in the tent.
The VPD has gone up to 1.0, which is a nice improvement to what it was only a couple of days ago.
I haven't scouted yet for thrips, but I will give the lacewings a couple of days to do their thing and then look closer.
However, I went to WAR against the spider mites we have in our ornamental plants in the apartment. I sprayed all plants with my homemade pesticide (capsaicin, alcohol, horticultural soap.) since I had it at hand. If that fails to knock the spider mites back, I'll bring out the neem oil instead.
The infestations aren't bad (yet), but it would suck to get mites into my tents, so better to be proactive.
------------------------------
