Day 0. This grow is all about me ;)))
I refused 3 other houses only because I knew I have to move, but .... @Theia was always so sweet about WeedSeedExpress and they finally approached me ! Could not resist ;)))
My dry room is a grow room again, after last Lemonade OG is finished drying.
So for this grow I have free beans from WeedSeedExpress and I'll use my first Mars Hydro light SP150 that I got from them as well as a test to try out theirs quality. I always stated that this light is a bit too small for two girls, but I will try to keep her closer to girls and force them to go midget a bit ;)))
I know it's stupid , but :
I have only 60 days till my landlord wants me to f@ck off, so from all my experience, all small auto plants were finishing a lot sooner ... Kind off easy math, no ;))) ?????
Let's see !!!
BioBizz nutes, Great White and Ecothrive Biosys as extras
Two of Bruce Banner's go straight to soil !
Fastest strain on the list , but they grow big from all I saw on net or in life... Again lottery ;)))))
Happy Growing !!!
Day 8. Both girls were out on day 5. A bit late on just got seeds, but still in average standard ;)
Girls finally got new home, new light and are ready for fast journey ;)
Misting every day and at the moment it's all work done .
Day 10. All is good, girls got water feed, next time I'll add Root Juice for two waterings in a row.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 23. Girls are going, slowly, but still...
Giving them water procedures every morning, tuck leaves to expose new grow, but all is slow and takes time, don't want to move lights too, they could start stretching and then this little Mars beauty could be too weak.
Leaves colour healthy, maybe a bit curly, but I spray them daily so it could be aftermath.
Maybe at the end of this week I will try to feed them with BioBizz a bit ... Till then - only water.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 30. Girls are starting to look very good !!!
No preflowers yet, but think transition will start this week.
Leaves are a bit too green, but I still will feed them this week.
Changed light cycle to 18/6
Day 33. Girls are happy and all looks very promising !!! Applied BioBizz Leaf Coat before this morning and girls finally loved the stuff !!! You get most with this product when plant is bigger and have loads of foliage, so perfect for last few weeks of veg period.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 36. One girl is in full preflowers, other just showed up sex here and there a bit, so it's one more week of veg !!!
Girls drink regularly, healthy, a bit closer to overfed zone, so pure water all week with CalMag rain today for foliage feed.
Leaf tucking is only technique i use. They need good clearing , but I will do it on 2 or 3 week of flower. Smaller girls has few underdeveloped branches, they have to go !
Happy Growing !!!
Day 43. They are amazing @MarsHydro light is doing more than I ever hoped even in blue dream !!!
It's fantastic !
Bigger plant will be A, smaller B.
Think A is hungry asf and I need to clear bottoms for both, but they grow so well, flat bush forming on each plant, they love croping, leave tucking and spray ! Me as grower love that plants are responding to things I hope them to do...
Maybe end of week will be first boom nute blast, think 900 ppm would go as nothing.
All BioBizz line will be involved, will update feed proportions with next weeks info.
Day 44. Two different ways, but moves were same. One girls top is on the level with most of canopy , it's B girl, so her top shoot just was twisted a bit between fingers, left obvious mark, but no croping done, just wiggle the stem, that will slow down her for few days and rest will catch up
With A I needed to lower one branch, so I used other branches leaves and hidden/lowered her, but top was a runner too, so I squeezed stem a bit while wiggling with and gave small push down.
I did it with plants which I will water in a sec, otherwise would be no cola for plant A 100% ;)))
Happy Growing !!!
Day 50. They are flowering !!!
Plant A is taller and starting to run !!! Drop her down a bit and raised plant B to keep even canopy.
Yesterday they got nute blast, close to 850 ppm. Planing plain water and one more heavy feed this week.
Trimmed bottoms a bit, few sucker branches and few leaves gone.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 57. They are running amazingly good, will leave for 7-8 days more, trim heavy, defoliate and will put them into main tent. I need this space for drying ...
Today only pure water, next time I will give them feed .
Happy Growing !!!
Day 64. they been moved to main tent !
All this week pure water, they should adapt not only to main lights, but i took Mars Hydro SP 150 and made mini side lightning for them. hope it will help. main tent plants are a lot bigger and cast shades ...
still not a right time for defoliation, but with better lightning i hope them to develop quicker and i think i will do it !
Day 69. Transplantation day !!! Girls run out old shoes and it's time for bigger ! Went for 10 gallons pots. Heavily cleared bottoms and lolipoped them. Amount of waist would be enough for few nice plants ;)))
This strain would perform amazingly with scrog , no doubts ! But I have no space .... ;((((((
Happy Growing !!!
Day 73. Girls are going great and mini shock is past , both look happier everyday, leaves stretch up and I am happy how it all went.
They can breath a lot better now, but still will do light defoliation session at begining of next week.
No feed for two weeks, transplantation should give them good boost, I put a lot of Worm Casting as extras ...
Happy Growing !!!
Day 79. Plants are going well. Took like 7-9 leaves from each to open few tops and gave them BioBizz feed yesterday. Squeezed 450 ppm, but no BioGrow was involved.
Amazing size of stems, they are drinking fast and I can't wait to trim those huge colas .... Unless I screw up like always ;)))
Girls still get side lightning from Mars SP150, but most of its light is oriented to new starters ;)
Happy Growing !
Day 85. Plants are flying !!!
Wonderful frost, structure, health - pure joy !!!
Lights are tied to the sealing and I can't drop intensity, photos are crap, plants are way better !
Last week they got bacterial feed and BioBizz without BioGrow, this week is full blast :
Next watering - max pk boost , will push first watering without N and hope to bump 800 ppm , next will be last BioGrow use and 1500 ppm maybe ;)))
Hope they won't burn !
I see some bottom leaves decoration and think they could eat MORE ;))))
Btw they STINK, heavily ;)))))))
P.S. I am a stoner !!! At the begining of naming A was a taller plant, now last week and this I called them WRONG ;) will follow current lay out. A is smaller plant, B will be taller one.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 92. Plants are doing great !!! Frost is already amazing and they will surprise me more , I know it !
Today water, next time they will get last feed.
From last week every time I water them, I do 10 leaves defoliation for each plant. So last week they lost 20 each, think this week I will do 30 more.
Girls grew so nice and i knew that I'll have enough space for them, so I left them only heavily lolipoped . Was doing selective defoliation here and there, but max 20 leaves were taken from each plant before. Mostly just to expose crown side colas.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 99. Plants are great !!! SUPER Frosty, smelly and bulking up !!!
Great strain - no doubts !!!
All feeds done, only water for her already last two waterings. Think 10-14 days left.
Still take off few leaves here and there to expose hidden buds and all goes very smooth !
Happy Growing !!!
Weedseedsexpress - Bruce Banner auto
Day 106 from seed touching soil. Best Auto plants no doubts !!!! Just had amazing Seedsman Auto run, but those two ..... Just PERFECTNESS !!!
Thanks @Theia for recommendation, that house didn't disappoint 4SURE ;))))
Will be busy all day, will update with second girl, when will chop first ...
Citrus and Berry sweet smell is all around house, but when you touch her - strong gassy smell comes in too !!! Great weed !!! Can't wait to try out already and haven't chopped even one cola yet ... ;)))
Day 114. Taller plant, which was A till my mistake and became B ;)))) ... is my new record indoors - 256 g of her.
Bushier and smaller plant needed a bit more lolitoping, lower part could be better for absolute dream run, still loads of crystally tops and total her weight was 242.
Best run no doubts.
First spliff from rack is harsh , but main flavours are obvious - earthy, gassy, lemon and sweet.
Will update my full experience, but I documented my main moves every week, so not a lot can be add ...
Day 106. Trim jaiiiiiilllllllll !!!!
First done, think it could reach my record 240. Insane quality. 4 rows of solid buds hanging ....
Next one ....
Both finally finished and honestly, that's my plants to be proud of !!!
Day 114. All is done, no doubts its my best grow.
Happy Growing !!!
@AsNoriu, yes I suggest you do a heavy defol, remove anything below 4 nodes on every branch and any sucker branches and just focus on the top fruits 🌱👍
@Fruitgrower, I am terrified,main tent only air, loads,but except top colas - all crap, will chop first two, defoliate the rest and put these two into main. Here will be dry room again. I bumped into stupid situation, plants huge, but space and light are missing....even those two are growing every hour ...
@Maryjane23, I liked the taste of runtz. I made mistakes in that grow. Never had 3 feet tall canopy, needed to clear a lot higher and keep temps a bit lower, got huge plants,but airy and small harvest. So runtz not in my fav list for a bit ;)))
@AsNoriu, ottimi strain non sono amante delle wedding cake, la bruce banner fantastica, per il prossima coltura ti consiglio una runtz fantastica sempre di qualsiasi banca semi... io l'ho fatta della barneys farm ho anche il diario se ti fa piacere vederla!!!
good luck
@JOE_S_GARDEN, since I started to :
1. keep humidity on higher levels and in flower never drop lower than 55
2. Dropped my ph to 6.3
3. Using humidity dome till week 3
4. Constant spray and tuck of leaves without heavy harm in veg
And main !!!
5. Biosys and Great White. Those two brought my harvests to never reached highs....
I use it before dropping seed, with every transplantation and once a week for first 4 . Use 1 ml scoop of each to one plant before watering as top dress
Week 5 - 2 ml scoop
Week 6 - 3 ml scoop
Week 7 and others - 4 ml
Once a week with plain water. Stop 3 weeks before harvest.
Pricey - but does magic to roots !
Hope it helps you too ;)
@Green_Dream, like half of my friends would take any amount of ready buds, half of that half would take any plant from me ;))
Nahhhh, landlord will have to wait ;))) All 3 Northern Lights in main tent are slow in flowering too, so I am stuck anyway ... ;)
@Sparkles, if he will read it, he won't like it ;)))))
Those big girls in soil go very airy, I was very happy with those two. Slimmed them heavily on second or third week of flower, would do still 5 cm higher for absolute nuginess, but that's my only possible improvement that I could off done for them.
Your 12 weeks don't go for nothing too. Plus autos are a lot weaker by smells and hit , at least I have personal feeling about it that way ...
Great looking grow. Something is not right about the final weight though...according to your numbers you achieved 7 grams/watt . A yield of one gram per watt is considered the “upper limit” of what’s possible with indoor grow lights (though it can be beaten)! An average-to-good grow yields about 0.5 grams/watt.
@Ketamine, just to clarify ;)
My total average is in 1.5 1.8 g/w.
Some my weed you wouldn't call trim even ...
Those 2.5 g/w grows are in the mix.
For example - I had 17 girls and 960 W ( one light was limping , so in reality 800 ) . Total weight was 1.55 kg
One FB SPA finished 124 g ( I had 240 g girl in same run, but last 3 weeks she spent under 240w in dry room and was the last from all wave so got more light on average )
960:17=56.
124 : 56 = 2.2 g/w
If you count real output - that girl was even better .
Just wanted to clarify my numbers.
@Ketamine, I was doing 2.5 and it's not the limit, I know guys do better, my quality is shit, loads of air at those previous big results, now I harm them more, would do even more than in this grow, lollipop should be higher, but I trimmed out almost half of plant, you can check second or third week of flower of this diary.
@Ketamine, mate ;))) it's WET weight, and that part is bullshit. I always write one kilo, but it's even MORE !!! Check my seedsman Alaskan Diesel and Green Crack videos from harvest weeks, you will see my plants weights more, a lot more ! In my mind, these are my best auto plants !
I had that discussion with many growers, @PurpleWorship including, check our conversations on same diary. Here two girls were veged under 140 W, first two weeks of flower under same light too, the rest in main tent, it has 800 W +, but now mostly 15+ plants too at same time ...
Think I will have a pound of weed from those two.
Very nice man , I’ve only used HPS and the sun to grow but I think I’ll have to evolve one day and at least add an LED to my tent . That’s some very nice bud man
@AsNoriu, yeah the tent / light got a bit warm one night and I got a few sets of taco leaves , it was a bit of a fuck up by me ( I get too stoned sometimes and end up playing around in the tent too long ) , I had the dehumidifier going at the intake air and that raised temps by a degree and that dried the plants out and at the same time I needed to drop the plants down 50 mm as they were too close to the light after a mini growth spurt .. my fuck up 100% .
@Rangaku, HPS explains small taco at top now, I missed that point in your grow. Yours look better, believe me and hps will manage to finish them with dignity ;))) I love LEDs. Had a chance to grow from first cheap bluepurples to really solidly made Mars Hydro SP3000. Was bragging that company, because had few first models, so I am very surprised to say least by what they can do now. I have DIY clones of first Generation HLG , later my models had far reds plus, so they do magic too, just my friend always finishes faster under his branded Mars.
He never gets same g/w , but damn his flowering time is shorter on 30% or so.
@smoking_hills9, those are amazing autos. Think most healthiest and vigorous plants that I grew. I like chunky structure too. Only outdoors I had such stem size... Pure joy !
@Sparkles, looking too good, that light will be too weak very soon ... I hope I screw up , otherwise they will screw me up with size , big tent is full too .. ;))))
