Day 0. New space, new adventure !
This grow was helped by Mars Hydro with theirs SP150 and discount for tent and Amsterdam Marijuana Seeds with two amazing strains : Candy Kush and Strawberry Ice !!!
Seeds will be put straight to soil, let's see what happens !!!
So with a bit of Great White Mycorrhizae seeds went to cups. Biobizz All Mix is inside, Worm Casting will be mixed-in only in main pots, this soil is already too rich.
Now returning to sponsors :
Mars Hydro SP150 light looks very solidly made, but when i tested it with mobile phone and Lux app - my current lights are at least twice as powerfull, still light quality is not measured by Lux, but it gives me impression based on simple comparison. On some pages its 135 W , on others 139 W even ...
I will compare honestly, how this light performs, that all i can say.
I am still very sceptical about it, but solid build and other peoples diaries gives me hope ...
Tent - i bought Mars Hydro 100x100x180 around two years ago and it was pure ....bad words .... more bad words ... BUT new one is really great, zipps, tent material - everything changed , only poles stayed previous type. Should last a lot longer ! Was happy to take small discount on her.
Now AMS
Fastest seed company in my life. From proposal to grow to actual posting - less than 72 hours.
Got delivered in 3 days after posting, they have even tricks to make delivery successfull ;)) Mine were hidden inside man tie, fun ;) I guess after Brexit better be safe than sorry ...
Both strains based on my love to Strawberries and Kushes

Day 3. Beginning of it and first girl is out, its a Strawberry !! Let's wait till Candy is out !
Day 4. Candy is here !!!
Germination - fast !
Let's see how they will develop further, till the moment, i am more than happy with AMS.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 8. First week past, girls got out and are stretched a bit, still keeping them in Auto tent, they should move to new home soon !
All is Good !
Day 12. New home for girls. With small accident witch happened to Candy Kush , hope she will make it... New timers, new heat elements, all automated now except watering. My friend made his setup wise from beginning.
That all setup is a present for him. One more grower of those wonderfull plants !!!
Happy Growing !
Day 15. Girls adapted to new house and Candy definitely survived !
Both girls reacted to new light very positive and it looks like Mars Hydro TS150 not only solidly made, but works great too !!!
The only thing i missed was a dimmer.
Think this week will be huge increase in grow rate, gave girls first light feed Biobizz Root Juice and Bio Grow.
My soil is preloaded by manufacture, plus i enrich it with Worm Castings by BioBizz too.
Day 18. Candy Kush was damaged , but she is ok, new leaves healthy and i am happy with that.
Girls got Great White rubbed into soil, were sprayed with Leaf Coat and got feed. Added Bio Heaven and increased Root Juice.
Happy Growing !
Day 22. Strawberry Ice gave my friend a lesson - i told him to rotate plants, but never thought of a need to explain, that pot don't have to touch heater ! Her roots boiled a bit, but 3 days later she is more than fine !
Candy Kush is catching up, top 3 nods are healthy, bottom don't go worse and she will be good I say in a week time.
Rubbed Great White into soil and pure Phed water. 6.5 is my target always.
Day 25. Back on track ? ;) Pure water. Strawberry Ice 600 ml( think next watering to top her) , Candy Kush 400.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 29. Girls are happy as all should be, Strawberry Ice is toped, they got feed and all look very promising !
Last use of Root Juice, next week will delete it from records.
Will introduce CalMag.
Mars Hydro light performs well, girls sorted all step backs and now my friend has a week to do DIY scrog.
Day 32. Strawberry Ice is huge ! All branches reach to top and proper bush is forming. Candy Kush is behind, but catching up, she was toped today. All stems got light supercroping, new shoots exposed to light, leaves tucked.
Next weekend scrog should be installed i think and flower should begin too.
Day 33. My attempt to get free seeds, amazing video was staged, just i forgot to start recordering ;))))
Script will be used next time :p
Happy B AMS !!!!
Happy Growing !!!
Day 36. Girls are very healthy, as predicted CK is catching up and everything looks very good. Girls got light defoliation, bottom two nods lost fan leaves, better air circulation and they didn't see light anyway. Again a bit of tucking, a bit of training and girls soon will go to flower. DIY scrog should be done by monday, will update then.
Girls got feed and lights were raised by 10 cm.
Day 40. SI got every branche supercroped and was watered, CK is a day behind, but my friend is ready to train her on himself, think next week will be flower time. Couple leaves were taken too.
He made a DIY Scrog, but it was wrong :
1. Height was only 45, when end of main stem is at about 53, so he will go for 55 cm till first level
2. His tent is 60, but he went for 40 in wide, on first level wood will be huge obstacle for plant to grow trough , better make wide as possible .
Thought it will help somebody to show what was wrong.
Think he will scrog them this Thursday, before next watering, 2-3 days to recover and FLOWER time !
Happy Growing !
Day 43. Girls lost loads of leaves, all branches got heavy training, still not proper supercroping, but close to it. All main stems fan leaves were taken off, all bottoms cleaned. Girls were fed today and will be given 3-4 days to recover before 24 hours of darkness and flip to flower ;)
Added light CalMag, will give silica acid before flip.
Mars Hydro light perform really nice, girls grow very healthy and strong under it, more than happy with it performance, soon flower time, all answers will be clear ...
Thats all plans for next week.
Day 47. Girls got heavy defoliation, supercroping and repositioning session. After that i feed them with buddhas tree solar green power silica acid. Today lights are out and tomorrow late even on. Should be 20+ hours of darkness, all we need.
Next update : Flower time !!!
Happy Growing !
Day 50. Girls are flying !
No feed yet, but they will get Bloom nutes soon, had to correct most stretching tops, took couple leaves away and now beauty of final stretch will begin !
Light is performing amazing and i could really recommend her for small grows, Mars Hydro SP 150 - makes magic !
Hope i won't swear it after harvest ;))) For veg cycle she was brilliant !
Happy Growing !
Day 60. Girls are super bushy , stretchy and healthy. Should get huge feed tomorrow.
All looks good, need just first buds to appear and i will trim them a lot !
Saw couple flies, gave sticky traps.
I am in the middle of trim jail with Zamnesia run and head is empty to write anything more now except - i think my friend should be very VERY very happy with AMS and MARS HYDRO products ! ;)))
Girls a bit droopy , because he was late with todays watering, still supercroped main cola, she was stepping a lot ...
Happy Growing !
Day 64. Girls got full Biobizz feed, plus i topdressed soil with couple handfuls of BioBizz Worm Humus.
They just fly, will need to strip them hard at the end of this week.
Both girls a bit behind, but theirs size could influence slow flowering start.
Happy Growing !
Day 71. Oh boy .... my friend thought that he watered, but did not .... missed one cycle or couple days was late .... Strawberry Ice was on the verge of dieing , Kush was not so bad ...
Worst time to do it, but i doubled the stress, by clearing all unwanted grow and defoliating them hard.
Any final result is irrelevant now, loads of shit most probably will start now , hopefully we will overcome them, but i was almost crying when i saw how they looked ...
Day 74. All is good, don't see huge colas, but all looks healthy and happy !
Happy Growing !!!
P.S. don't forget to water your plants !!!!!!!! NEVER !!!! :)
Day 78. Girls are okeish, but bud size makes me smile, not in positive way ;))))
Now it looks this light is more for one plant, but let's count dried chickens ;)))
I know if my friend would scrog them better, light would work, now he has more than a foot to penetrate through, a bit dark ...
Girls got feed, tucked couple leaves. All is good !
Happy Growing !
Day 85. Girls are happy , but small ;))) development for such time is like two weeks minimum behind. Loads of leaves shadowing buds, will do new defoliation session next week.
Checked light spread and intensity with mobile and simple lux meter app. Results are weak, but better than cheap red/blue generation. Still get like 25k max feet away.
I will grow those strains in main tent , really want to see why are they so slow in development...
But smell after touch ... Now Kush is my fav ;)))
Girls on water-feed-water-feed schedule.
Bio Grow is out. Next week Cal Mag out.
Day 88. Lucky day for screw ups ?!?!?!?? ;)))
Made first time defoliation when in last round you take all shadowing leaves away, hopefully it won't stress them much ..
Usually i was leaving top two fan leaves, now everything shading something and has stem to cut - is out !!! :)))
Happy Growing !
Day 92. Defoliation helped a lot, all lower buds start to develop and that risky move paid up. I still saw some bananas visions, but my younger friend convinced me that i am blind and paranoid too much ;)))
Bio grow, Cal Mag and Silica acid is out.
Silica was used 3 times in all grow. Cal Mag - max 6. Bio Grow was base for all BioBizz feed, but they are super healthy and its time to reduce N.
Happy Growing !
Day 99. Disaster in garden !!!! Gnats are all over. Gave him loads of sticky traps sheets to cover pots. Advised to reduce watering in half to have quicker dry cycle and drag this grow to the end. Think its 3 more weeks left for them .
You can see how much more flies stucked to traps on this weeks photos.
Last week for feed too.
I will regrow those strains in my autumn run in main tent , they lack light a lot, all lower buds, even after such high lolitoping, are underdeveloped ...
Let's see final result and then count chickens ;)
Day 103. Girls are getting frostier and bottom buds fill up , bud cola size is small, wait for harvest result more with fear than pride ;))))))
Girls are very healthy, smells amazing, pests should be sort out with new watering regime and so many traps ;))
Two more feeds in plans and flush, think max 3 weeks left !
Happy Growing !
Day 113. Girls are bulking a bit, crystally as f@ck and flushing theirs last days through ;)))
All looks very very very nice, just a bit thin ;)))
I moan about weight, but its every growers priority at the end ...
Think my friend needs more watts ;)))
Some Strawberry Ice top buds got pinky/red colour , looks very nice, just my cam now not only broken, but has a hole in it , no jokes ...
Happy Growing !!!
Day 120. My friend was again too late with watering ;)))) hope no bud rot will start after such humidity fluctuations inside of bud, its really not recommended to overdry in such stage of flower ...
Saturday - chop day !
They smell amazingly, frost is everywhere , so result will be very nice, just how much ?!?!?!?!?!? ;)))))
Happy Growing !
Day 122. Girls are chopped. Nice frost, smell, no weight ;)))
Day 136. Both jared , 70 + 56 = 126 g total from a light which according to manufacture has 140, but youtube states 129 ... So its almost 1G/W , result my friend can be proud off !!!!!
Cure week 2. Buds looking nice, tastes better and better. My friend really loves to smoke his own now , even proud of his work , when showing off to other friends ;))))
Happy growing !!!
Day 122. Job done !!! My first apprenticeship, which was documented here , was a success !!! My friend will smoke his own !!! Not a lot tho ;))))
Day 132. Girls still need couple days to dry out and i am extremely happy with such long dry. I personally in my setup never passed day 9 and here is day 10 and still going .....
Day 135. They spent almost 14 days on strings and in my mind could spent two more, but Boveda packs are in and they will cure for a bit ;)
Cure day 20. She is super nice. Will try to do updates very soon.
Will update
Happy Growing !
