Conditions have been good for the week.
Back soon.

Well that was fun. First time delving into the homegrown world and Iβm officially hooked. Following the cocoforcannabis nutrient schedule and method, I ended up with 200 grams of dry bud and an extra 40 grams of trim/larf for edibles. I may have had them in the dry tent for a day too long, the hygrometers in the jars have settled around 54% RH, but they feel pretty damn sticky and moist to me. Been toking the larf and the high is really nice, definitely smoother than anything Iβve gotten from a dispensary. Can definitely taste the π and Iβm excited to see what a little more cure will do. Already have my seeds ready for round 2, thanks for checking out the grow!

Week 6 of to a good start!
They look happy and healthy. Time to flip to flower soon!
π½π3/10
Climate is automated and working accordingly to my adjusted VPD settings.
Happy and healthy, actually surprised they've grown so much lately.
π½π4/10 Waiting for their complete recovery, so they can be flipped to flower (Defoliation the 30/9, im giving them about a week)
π½π5/10 Water day* Plain ph balanced water.
Need Runoff PH and EC down a little bit.
π½π6/10 I applied the SCROG net.
π½π7/10 Doing some minor tweaks to the setup + VPD settings(from 1.0 to 1.1). Approaching the flip to flower, so VPD
Did a bit of defoliation before the flip next week
π½π8/10
Today, i learned from research on biobizz nutrients https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/biobizz-nutrients-answers-from-biobizz.78899/ (Direct answer from biobizz)
With the answers, my view on feeding biobizz changed a bit, and i was luckily about to switch up the nutes. Good timing.
Waterday*
PH6.2
Introducing Biobizz CalMag(0.5ml/l) + BioBloom(0.25ml/l)+Topmax(0.25ml/l)+Rootjuice(0.25ml/l)
Still 2ml/L Fishmix+BioHeaven(Fishmix will be switched out with BioGrow)
π½π 9/10 Last day of the week for my plants and last day in veg! They look fantastic and well recovered at lights on! (Look at the before/after lights vids/pics)
Raised VPD by 0.1: VPD settings(from 1.1 to 1.2)

Hello fellow buddlovers!
It is my great pleasure to announce the start of week 3! All our competitors are looking healthy and strong!
Today we begin to nourioush our little Padawans into becoming true committed servants of JAH.
They had have a taste of God forbidden fruits of nutrition from Gold Label such as root boost and soil a/soil b and some supplements for desert from humbolt county's own Ultra snow & Cal mag. To inspire the growth and the quality of the beauty sleep we replaced old CO2 bag with a new one.
Glads me to see that our soldiers are doing really good. They have growth from 17cm(day 15) to 20cm(day 17) in just 2 days since i fed them.
Really looking forward to see the full veggie bloom out.
Yours own Glada Minnen!
Don't be shy to ask anyting :).

D65 - 23/03
Did a cleanup on the bottom part of the bigger girls, to avoid any issues in these last weeks.
Not much to update, just watching them grow and admiring them gaining weight.
Aiming for a 80~85 day harvest, so we got around 20 to go.

9/7/24 this is a clone from my outdoor jokerz plant. she's had to reveg but is currently showing new growth. i wanted to see what she looks like when grown indoor. i wanted the outdoor ones to be indoor plants[ i mostly run indoor] but they got too big for my space but i didnt want to consider it a complete loss and took some clones.
9/12
her growth is improving. i didnt realize that this was considered monster cropping. Underneath the main she has atleast 4 side branches coming out thats new growth. im curious to see how this affects plant growth, plant training and over all plant
FYI the pictures and test results that i posted are from the nurseries website that the clones/cultivars i have are from. i have no affiliation with them. im a rec grower in a rec

I've enjoyed a lot growing this plant, I had to deal at tje end of thr cycle with fungus gntas but she resisted without problems, each day the flowers stink more and more, amazing genetic, I would definitely like to keep on working with this genetic, it's a pleasure to smoke, I recomend you to grow her organically like I did snd you'll see!

One of the bigger ones is definitely taking over in size a bit. But still two obvious phenos as far as size. Topped the small ones for shits and giggles
Turned light back down to 40% to encourage a bit of stretch possibly
Grow under the MEDICGROW Smart-8
760W beast here.
RQS Orion F1 Hybrid Auto in a DWC set up
Athena Blended Line - awesome nutes. Canβt wait to see what they can do in hydro.

This is the week. We know we put it as veg but we are turning back the timer this week. Around and hour a day we click back the timer. We use to just flip it to 12/12 in one day, but we thought it was too hard on the ladies, so we are trying this now. The gruntz is just trying to bully the others out the tent. She is a beast. We think going with 4 in the tent from seed might not work. If they were clones for awhile maybe. The clones we took off them are somewhat making it, might have to take a few more just to be sure. Otherwise itβs just been water. We left a few leaves on the soil surface to help hold some moisture in. I just hope the Bruce and gruntz donβt stretch much after the flip is done. The tent feels a little full already. If you see anything we can do better, let us know. Spread some love and share some bud!

Going well, started flowering .
From what I've read about growing Auto's, it says to feed them about half the amount of what you would a photoperiod plant, but i have been giving her nearly full strength nutrients & she is doing great.
If you're looking for the next strain or genetics to grow, then you should definitely give Fast Buds a try. 100% Quality. Now with their new affiliate program if you use this code - GROWEED when purchasing you

So everything took off in flower, I was super harsh with the defoliating which initially I regretted, but was surprised with how they packed out during the following weeks. In general it's impressive how hardy these plants are. Even the outdoor grows yielded some quality. Add some more nuets (overdrive and carbo load), before flushing about 14 days before harvest, next time I'll do this earlier and really the Runtz could have gone another week but my drying needs to happen in the same space as my growing for now. Apologies for the quality of image, I'm just using my phone and some bits I have to document, I collect records too, so expect weird noises lol. Build a rotating plat from a lazt susan I found, has been the best piece of kit added this season.

on day 20 I added the new 250w led panel.
everything is proceeding perfectly even if I noticed a bit of dwarfism in the fat banana due to probabilmento to the wrong conservation of the seeds by my grow shop. however I have given some magic potion to the fat banana now let's see if it gets stronger in the next week. greetings to all and good cultivation!

Rolling into week 7. Time to dial down the nutes and start my UVB regiment. I use Reptisun 10.0 bulbs due to LED UV's giving far less than optimal performance. Reptisun 5.0 bulbs work 2. I only run them from week 7 to flush and for only 3 hours a day within the current light cycle.
Update day 45: After doing a trichome check, it finished EARLY!! Time to do a quick flush then harvest. I was going to add the nutes to the fresh water today ππ

Done abit of lst this week on a few of the big ones
First timer not really got a clue what to do so trying trial and error
One half the back of tent got a trellise over them the other half have had the fam leaves tucked under and the ones you see under the smaller light have been tied down about 90 degree angle
Also a few showing signs of maybe nutrient deficiency of some sort could anybody give a hand as to what this is also something Iβve noticed over the last week a lot of the leaves look almost chewed off complete fan leaves gone only the stem left this is a indoor grow first time I canβt seem to see anything in the tent or any signs of snails or slugs and Iβve put it down to water landing on the leafs and burning them away completely (pot head conspiracy ) any help would be much appreciated please

Wow, isn't this 1 dollar seed performing :P The force is strong in this one. If I had to complain, the buds have a lot of leaves, but hey, were not...
What a joy to grow this strain, she is easy to grow and creates big buds, I hope she tastes like a Kush and we will be happy campers with this one.
The lights were a bit too close to her, she really didn't enjoy that light and heat, so we raised them, and after that growth went exponential in the buds again.
And this for two or three more weeks, depending on the trichomes which I like for a large part amber so add another week for this.
I'm guessing 1st week of January that she can be harvested, we shall see!
Don't forget to check out the Christmas deals at www.mars-hydro.com, if you are still in doubt, see in the lights page of the SP-3000, what the score is of this light and the results people have with it.
Thank you for visiting my journal again!

Hung up my new California Lightworks UVB supplement light. I think I originally hung it a bit too close (18 inches from canopy) based on the subtle color change in the leaves, so I raised it up to 24" above the canopy.
I was most certainly skeptical, since this is my first time using UVB, but even over the course of its first week under the bulbs I've notice a VERY visible increase in trichomes.
Every one of this plant's buds is COVERED in trichomes! It looks like someone sprinkled sugar all over the damn place!
