OK guys I'm back after being away for 2 weeks. I've proceeded to a final transplantation into a 9L AirPot container, right before I left for vacations. Despite the transplantation, no special operation was done, I want to see how this clone is going to grow on its own and I don't have enough room for training / bending. A friend was in charge of the grow room while I was away, and she did a pretty good job. The clone is healthy, standing proud and praying the light. I started to build the manifold for 4 colas but some side branches have already reached the canopy, that clone wants to produce weight! She will remain under vegetative stage for 1~2 weeks before flipping into 12/12 light schedule. I can't wait to see her full of buds! Thanks for stopping by 👊

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

Good morning, we're finally here. We've changed locations, still in southern Spain, but this time much closer to the sea and with a Mediterranean climate, like my Italian roots. Love it. We'll start with the autoflowering plants first; this time, they'll all be grown without cutting techniques. We'll always have two plants: one grown with just a little tidying and left to grow straight, and the other using techniques that don't involve cutting, and therefore slowing things down. I need weed; the grower must also consider this, so the autoflowering plants will finish as quickly as possible. In most cases, it will be a nice, firm LST, not too delicate, and I'll fim if the plant seems to touch the sky, as has happened recently, probably thanks to the Plagron fertilizers, which will be with us this time too. The chosen soil is the recently released Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us a more regular and reliable start without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. We're 100% organic this time too. For the germination, we also used Seedbooster as soon as it arrived with the last and first ones: 75% water + 25% hydrogen peroxide. *** From my point of view, it's very important to add hydrogen peroxide if you start with the seed in a small glass of water. As soon as it's opened, it would drown too; the oxygen bubbles in the hydrogen peroxide prevent suffocation. www.plagron.com That said, our Critical Cheese Automatic is a classic strain. We expect stability and potency, and to be honest, we're looking for that cheesey smell that has been lost in hybridizations over time. We're still hoping for it. Come on, my friend, you've grown beautifully under the watchful eye of our mirrorless camera. Keep giving us thrills until the very end. The seedling started well without any particular problems. Its little sister stretched a little because I took a timelapse under different lighting, but we're there and ready to give it our best. https://www.zamnesia.io/en/3334-zamnesia-seeds-critical-cheese-automatic-feminized.html Zamnesia Description - An iconic strain from the UK, Cheese has quickly become one of the most sought-after strains in the world. Thanks to the breeders at Zamnesia Seeds, we now have an easy-to-grow autoflowering variant with identical qualities to the extraordinary original, the only major difference being that it can be harvested in 10 weeks! www.zamnesia.com

14/11/22 - Removed the small single cotyledons - lower right plant seems really short for some reason hoping she stretches by pre flower - 23C @ 60-65% humidity 17/11/22 - Very light defoliation, taking off tiny nodes and small 3 finger leaves - removed some massive fan leaves off the top 2 plants to allow light to lower nodes - lower right plant really seems to be slowing down growth and just not doing anything, really hope she stretches soon as 70% of the node sites are under developed and tucked under leaves 20/11/22 - lowered light to 22” from 25” - heavy defoliation as heads are very lightly turning yellow - LST clips to allow even light and airflow to all the sites - the lower right plant is very small and the branches of fan leaves are only growing to be about 1 inch long, no idea what’s going with it - grown 3 inches this week from 6.5” to 9.5” smallest right one is 7.5”

Sorry y’all I don’t have the true weight for this granddaddy here wife went to town on it lol

Just got done with trimming the 4x4 @greenhouseseedco Super Silver Haze / @blimburnseeds Silver Surfer Haze tent. The final yield is exactly 1000g plus some (kind of a lot)that I smoke in the last 2 weeks 😃 Also got 6, gallon size ziploc bags filled with good quality trim for concentrate. To be honest I was expecting a little more but keeping in mind that this grow I did not supplemented with bottled CO2 I think I’m good with the results. Definitely I enjoyed a lot this grow and I’ve learned even more.

Hi growers! this is my first grow and I will try to be as detailed as possible. The first video is day 2 and the second video is day 6. The first pot is the Fast buds BlackBerry Auto, second pot is the Fast buds Zkittles Auto and the Two at the back are the SweetSeeds Honey Peach CBD. originally the back left pot was meant to be a Fast buds Tangie'matic but the seed didn't germinate so around day 4 of the grow I decided to germinate another Honey Peach CBD Seed. Equipment using is: 2 x 300w Viperspectra LED Lights 4 x 12L Fabric Pots 2 x 9" Clip Fans 1 Standing oscillating fan 1 Thermostat with RH reading and a cheapish Carbon Filter kit from EBay. As this is my first grow i have been on quite a tight budget but if things go well I will be slowly upgrading all of the equipment over time. Notes: As you can tell by the video I am very limited to space, I can't remember the exact measurements but I think its 48inches cubed

Day 71 : sie bleibt noch im Aufbau !!! Day 72: + 2L Flaschenwasser ++ Dünger mit wenig CalMag + final PH 6.35 Etwas sehr interressantes ist mir aufgefallen , deswegen hab ich auch ein Video davon gemacht. Eine SideCola hat sich oben wie topping verhalten und 2 TopBuds entwickelt . Sieht echt nice aus . Ausserdem hat sie überall da wo ich etwas abgeschnitten habe einfach neue Triebe mit neuer Blüte gebildet. Diese Dame hat irgendwie nur ein Sinn , Blüten bilden wo es geht :)) Ich lass es einfach wachsen , dagegen arbeiten wäre eh zuviel stress. Day 73: Day 74: + 2L Flaschenwasser ++ Dünger mit wenig CalMag + final PH 6.10 Day 75: Day 76: + 2L Flaschenwasser ++ Dünger mit wenig CalMag + final PH 6.10 Day 77: Trichome sind noch nicht ganz fertig .

Beginning of week... Heat stess.. Light burn.. Runoff pH is out of wack.. But the colas are still so freaking massive! This will be the last week of feeding.. Then flushing for 2 weeks!.. FloraKleen is waiting for me already lol.. But the trichomes are already looking pretty close to being ready.. From what I can see.. There are about 50% cloudy/milky and 50% clear.. I can find an amber here and there.. But I think I've got this timed out perfectly!.. Cant wait to taste these super fat, dense, fruity smelling nugs! Damn she is doing magical things even after the abuse she has endured.. Awesome strain ILGM.. For sure... Mid week.. Found a few nanners here and there.. Ugh.. Understandable tho.. All the heat and light stress.. Whoops.. No seeds that I can see yet.. Just going to finish up this week by feeding at only 50% and pretty much cutting out almost 100% of Nitrogen. And not sure why.. But aldo added some Vitamin B Complex.. Its a sublingual liquid that you put under your tongue for energy or some shit.. I only put .25 mL/3 L.. Again.. Idk why lol.. Now that I have cranked the power of the light down, the leaves have kinda slowed down on the suicide rate lol.. Not as many are trying to curl up anymore.. Still kinda curled.. But they have actually opened up a little since. She is looking pretty good.. Still been watering/feedingnat 5.8 pH and the runoff is barely coming out at 6.3 pH still.. Once I see it go down to 6.0.. Then I will make the proper adjustments needed to try and keep it at 6.3.. But still no stress frok this weird pH issue crap I got goin on.. I just need to get some new coco/perlite and a new fabric pot.. Good thing I have already got all that stuff stocked up! But this has been an interesting grow for sure.. I'm ready to chop her down and see what she tastes like! And start a new girlie of course! Lol.. But as for this week.. I will have one more feed day and I am just going to do it exactly how I did today, then begin the 2 week flush! Trichomes are exactly where they need to be.. Even the trichomes on the foxtail calyxes are gettin there pretty quick too.. As far as I can tell so far... Awesome strain from ILGM.. Awesome as fuuuuck! Lol End of week.. Since I've turned the power of the light down, the leaves haven't been dying off like I thought they would be because of all the heat stress and light burn.. But tomorrow I begin the flush! Today was not a feed day so I guess I already began lol.. I used rain water (7.0 pH 30 PPM) but of course I pH'd it down to 5.8 so that the runoff would come out 6.3.. Idk why this isn't clearing out.. But tomorrow I will use the FloraKleen in pH'd rain water.. This week I may water in the AM and the PM to help flush out medium quicker. Gonna try and use just rain water for the flush.. If I run out of rain water I will use distilled.. Either of the 2 should be a good choice! But I'm so excited to be harvesting soon! On to the next!!!...

Week 19, day 6. Second week after switching to 12/12 lighting. Nr 1 is 155 cm tall from top of soil and Nr 2 is 171 cm. All video and pics is taken when the girls have hade 11.5 h of no lights and just got watered. The stretch on these girls was incredible the past 2 weeks after switching to 12/12 lighting. So fare this has gone smooth as silk and no problems at all despite temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius for the last 45 days. I have manage the heat by having between 85-95 % of RH in the room all the time. And this genetics from DinaFem seeds is awesome, i hope i will get a massive harvest of strong indica medicine.

Og kush x ??? Smells like nothing I've grown before and I like it 🔥

Hallo und herzlich Willkommen Wie zuletzt beschrieben, befinden sich aktuell beide Klone in der Wachstumsphase. Sie im Garten hat sich gute erholt und freut sich auf die kommende Sommerzeit. Die Dame die auf dem Balkon steht, fühlt sich sichtlich auch sehr wohl. Man merkt wie das Wachstum zurück geht. Die Stamm- Struktur zeichnet sich schön mit der Farbe lila. Sie sieht auf jeden fall auch wirklich bemerkenswert aus. Ein paar Entwicklungsbilder unseres Gartens sind auch anbei :-) Auf ab in die nächste Woche, wir freuen uns und wünschen in diesem Sinne allen Growmies eine tolle neue Woche und viel Erfolg! VG 😎

2/14: Decreased distance between the lights and canopy. Let the maximum swell commence! 2/16: Fed today..increased sugars/carbs. This was probably the last feeding with Beastie Bloomz..switching to Cha Ching at next feed and cutting back on the One.

A very cool strain to grow 😀👌 4 on 4 germination rate gave me 4 nice and robust plants. One plant was taller and different from the 3 others one. The red one was a real beauty 😍

Good plant overall, wish it was a bigger plant because bud structure is very nice Had a little bit of spider mites but took care of it quickly, overall handled the heat very well and this one had no bud rot Will run this stain again since I have some more seeds, hoping for a bigger phenotype next time :)

85 Days from germination to harvest! Sorry for the lack of accurate information. Just some pics from finish. Honestly- I never finished the diary so I’m leaving it as is. Was extra sweet and pungent and especially extra frosty. Not to mention fast!

😍😍😍

Mother Fucker, Had all this typed out and it fucking closed the tab and would not load last edit. Lets try this again. This has been a big week, got a transplant in and ran into some issues with the feed. Transplanted the plants from their 1L to 2Gal/7.5L pots and gave them some LST to keep em low, all went well in transplant process as seen in the video however the Gaia Green burned my plants and this is odd considering I did not use it full strength as per their directions. They recommend amending medium for pots and baskets at a rate of 3tbsp or 45ml per Gal and I used it at a rate of 60ml in 2Gal, not even close to their 90ml recommendation. Seems weird why I would be experiencing this. I reached out to them and have not heard anything back. kinda disappointed about that. I have two batches of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and when I ran a test side by side on them I found the old one I am currently useing has a higher EC value then the new one I got. I dissolved 1/4 teaspoon into 250ml of water and gave it a good stir, I then let it sit for 5 min and measured its PH and EC, I also tested out the Insect Frass from them as well and it was similar numbers to the new 4-4-4 batch. I got readings of 0.98 for new 4-4-4 and 1.43EC for the old batch of 4-4-4. Seems off. I also tested all the other things I added into the soil and they did not spike EC to any significance. I'm hoping they reach back out to let me know whats up. PH was on point and nothing crazy all aorund 7.1 I also tested the PH and EC of the watering solution to confirm it was the 4-4-4, added in some yucca in their as well as other beneficials that I normally do in soil grows. all within range, PH down with Phspohric Acid and EC under 300 A+ In other good news I finalized the PPFD maps for my tent and lights, I use 2x 240w Mini Sun 2's from Medic Grow, They don't normally use the lights in a twin setup in 2x4 tent so thus they had no light maps for me. The grow shop I go to lent me their Quantum Par light meter and I went to town, I demoed this unit last week in a little video and then went onto say how I messed up the readings and needed to redo it all. Well I had to have the meter returned and was working all week so only had time to get one height measurement in at 30" with all the intensities of the light 40-60-80-100% I had a feeling I was over blasting them with light but the amount I was thinking was not even close to how much more I was giving them. I was running my plants before at 80% and maybe 20" hang height. I was nuking them. It shows my ideals are going to be 40% in veg and 60% in flower with altered lighting schedules to accommodate a proper DLI. As of right now I am giving my plants 42 DLI in veg at 18/6 and that's a bit much for me. I would like to see this number closer to 35. So if I edit my schedule down to 16/8 it will give me a DLI of 37, when I got into bloom if I go 11/13 I will also get a DLI of 37. If I kept it at 12/12 at 60% I would have a DLI of 41, and If i did it like last time 12/12 at 80% I would have a DLI of 55... 41 is not the worst but I think it might be to much. we will see based on how the plants are growing. I used a free heatmap web page tool to make the PPFD maps, its not perfect but it works out well for me. I did all the intensities on their own image and also did one main image with all the intensities that shows the strength of 100% vs 40-60-80% in colour. The one light on the right side does not seem to be as strong as the one on the left, Or it could be some weird things with my tent, When I looked at the numbers with the door open they did not fluctuate as much. so who knows, I tested them with the door closed and extractor fan on as that's what the plants will be getting when in the tent, I centred the light as best I could and levelled it out with a bubble leveller. It was funny seeing how the PPF readout numbers changed as the tent sucked in around the sides, It is a good thing I have the mid support bar to prevent it from doing that to much. Once I mapped out all my readings in PPF I then calculated its average and PPFD using the grow space dimensions of 2x4, applied the convention and got my average PPFD :) The pepper are also doing well. I don't think I noticed a difference between soaking the seeds with some peroxide 1% vs plan water. Won't do that again does not seem to help anything. All but one variety as popped, the naga morich, has not been germinated, I was reading online that dehydrated seeds can have as low as 5% germination rate, With this in mind I took a lot of seeds from my older naga morich peppers in the pantry and placed them in a damp paper towel. I have a feeling given their age and treatment previously they will not pop, but that's ok if they don't, I have a large assortment of pepper for this season and they are already well on their way to giving me a good crop. Have not noticed any other fungus gnats in a bit. Happy about that, don't know where they went, unless it was just a few and they died before breeding. One can hope, Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

Woche 3 der Blüte

She just has massive leaves shading stuff out so had to massive prune I didn't want to train her cuz I'm training every other auto out I wana see what does better trained or non trained I've been using bud clips from bud trainer to do training it's been awesome I haven't used them on this cultivar jus some garden wire tune in to the podcast on youtube @sundaesesh
