MARS FC 3000 Super lemon Haze

Welcome to my 1st fem soil grow: Drop a like so I can visit your grows if you'd like, regardless thank you for your interest . 1st soil photo in the ground. Will be a few days before she shows leafs as I only waited till she showed about 2mm of tap root and she got planted 3/4 of AN inch down and soil lightly folded over and sprayed her with 100ml of mix with 1.5ml/L x3 400ppm. La Sirena is the only nutrient here that changes the EC. 1 5ML adds around 300+ppm to 78ppm water so. I decided to give this girl .5 more as she's going to be in the ground longer and has a long veg life. I'll be running her on TERRA POWERS full 19 line up. For this 1 I'll be following there chart as a guideline for nutrients and when to apply. As for the dose, that will be down to me. But if it's 2ml/L or whatever it is. It'll be getting that in 1L mix a week, (meaning she'll be fed exactly the ml/L as her total feed of that nutrient for the week. So this plant as she'll only be getting fed by ML not by many ml/L mix.) So when she's young her ml/L dose will be low as she'll have to take in a L of her or a high 2ml/500ml she'll be fed on a nutrient ML basis only. 2/5/22 VD1 Popped her head up. Can't wait for this 1, I've also got her in DWC Which is about 12hrs ahead. Have started on a light diet. 555ppm 4/5/22 I decided to go against the chart and give La Calavera for the root stim, I know we are a few days in but I'll wait until 2.5 weeks and stop the La Calavera. 6/5/22 So, it's begun. I've created a negative pressure environment, 1st time, let's see if it makes an impact. On wk 3 onwards I'll be running the intake extraction for 5mins every 30mins and I'll have 2 co2 bags up. If the RH becomes a problem or temp I'll put the extraction/intake back on 100% of the time. The extraction fan/intake is set at a ratio of 2 to 1. (100% extraction 50% intake) making a negative pressure environment, best way to show you have done this, the walls in your tent should bow in lightly Same Day. Okay, so this my last update. Going to run fans the same right up until flower and then I'll be sealing up my tent and adding 2 co2 bags. And will be adding a dehuimifier and setting at 45% And it checks every 30mins and if it's gone up it'll turn back on and bring down to 45 or set RH, so no co2 will escape. The temp will be bordering 30-33c and then when they go into their rest window they'll be transferred to to a negative pressure environment with low temps and 45-50%RH. I'll only be able to do this for the 3 weeks of pre flower. And maybe some more, it depends how hard the dehuimifier will be working, but i want dense buds and only way to improve that is by introducing Co2 and then a negative pressure cold environment for terps. Then I'll be putting them back into full negative pressure environment and the Co2 will be useless, again all depends how it's gonna affect my bottom line. That and I only have 2 intake fans. I'll be going into detail about my Co2 adventures the week before I'll be prepping them to be able to withstand high temps, so I'll gradually bring up the temps the last wk of veg 28c max and that way when I push it to 30-32c in pre flower she won't stress as much. Thanks for reading this week, no more updates, just pics for remaining week. gottagrowsometime

Welcome to my super lemon haze 1st photo soil strain diary. Be sure to drop a like so I can visit your diaries. 10/5/22 Growing slow, painfully so. Probably going to take at least 8 weeks of veg....Going to be really hard managing, well better put, trying to hold RH in a steady range at 45% for 4 weeks in 2 different tents is going to be a pain in the arse. 11_5_22 After a 2 day soft flush, I've upped the nutrient terra Power and all nutrient mixes up and plants are starting to show light defs. Nothing that's going to throw them into a stall or anything, and I don't want to overfeed neither. PPM I'm been careful with. 980 5.9 PH. 1020 ADVN 6.3ph 950 5.7ph jungle juice and terra power 13_5_22 Growth is good compared to DWC SLH, I just can't lock them down atm. I'm thinking of redoing them. Few fert burns and water droplet burns. Doing really well. Growing well, as fast as the autos. 14_5_22 Few fert/Water droplet burns. Really healthy, doing well.. 16/5/22 Transplanted into new pot and fed La Calavera.

Wk 3 VD15 17/5 Great growth&Very healthy. Started the mainline process, keeping the 3rd set, everything else was stripped. Lowered the EC by a 1/3. As it's mostly stripped it'll need less nutrients, well that's my take on it anyways. Less growth less nutrients required. 18/5/22 Figuring out how VPD works. You could read for hours about this stuff and still not dial it in for years. But here's the basics. VPD 0.4-0.8 kpa for early seedling. So under or around 23c and around 50-60 RH. atm my VPD is 1.05kpa and for most of my plants the optimal range is .8-1.1 kpa. Temp is 80 F 25C and RH is 70%. To find the perfect VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit)check out optimal ranges of VPD for growing stages, also your strain should have the optimal VPD. I don't have an infrared temp to check the LVPD (Leaf Vapor Pressure Deficit) that's a whole other ball game. All this stuff is very easy to find and if you can get your grows into or close to these ranges you'll have great growth. This is only my 2nd run, and the difference in this grows compared to my 1st is like night and day. Good luck 23/5/22 Sulfur/MG deficiency has struck. I didn't even notice it, gotta start looking for these signs earlier Have added some Epson Salt for MG/Sulphur. Thanks for reading gottagrowsometime

Wrlcome to my SLH nightmare grow. Be sure to drop a like so I can visit your diaries. Wk 4 VD22 Sulfur def seems to be slowing down but is showing up on my DWC SLH she's also on the same nutrients. I've added sulphur to both let's see if they come back to life. Hmmm, im not sure what this def was. I'm up in the air if it's sulphur or calmag. It looks more like sulphur. So I gave a 250ppm reading of a 1% Sulfur with other stuff in it. And they've been on calmag and only 2 of the SLH are showing these signs. Added Epsom Salt to give them some MG/S. Was 350 ppm baseline was 105 so 245 2 pinches to 300ml. 27/5 Topped above 3rd set. Can gladly say, she's back at full health. Looking great. 30/5/22 I should have kept the 2nd set of nodes. As the 3rd was only showing nodes, it just the 2nd set was turning the wrong way but I could of easily LST'ed them to the sides. Same Day. So, I've moved the lights up 2 45cm as they were at 30cm and I'm putting that down to them not stretching. Let's see what happens over the next week. Thanks for reading gottagrowsometime

Welcome to my super lemon haze grow. Be sure to drop a like so I can visit your diaries. Or not, I'll leave that up to you, either way thanks for dropping by. Happy growing. Really not happy with how this is turning out. My nodes are so short it's silly really. I think I had the light to close, hence y it didn't stretch. Either that, or I just don't know. My autos have nice long nodes and autos really aren't controlled by the way you have your light height. The ruderails take a care of most of that. Has to be the case. As my DWC photos are so small and bushy my light was 30cm away. So I'm going to give them 1 more week and if they don't stretch I'm going to flip them and take an other crack at doing just photos on my next run as I'll have my AC unit by then and new lights. But I'm hoping for a cannabis miracle here. Let's see, if anyone has any tips let me know. If it's about temps there's nothing I can do. My temps are 81F with lights on 72 with lights off. 6/6/22 have managed to drop the temps by using a new 12inch fan. Dropped from 27+ to 25+. Shouldn't have topped her, I just thought I had another 2 weeks of veg but sadly its not the case. Thanks for reading gottagrowsometime

Week 6. Stupidly I topped 70% of the nodes I should of just left them and they'd of made for nice colas. But now after topping you are meant to give a few weeks of growth to make to nodes so you get 2 decent colas. I'll give it 1 more week of growth then they are getting flipped 13/6/22 Decided to flip. Something came up and I won't be around past mid August for a couple week. I'd of loved to let it grow for at least a week before flipping. But I Cleaned her up a lot, took away an awful lot. Hopefully not too much. Shall see . Have been feeding her just water the last 3 days. She'll be going on boom nutrients 2moro. Delighted to say my FC 3000 came today. Was only expecting a TS1000 but hey, what a nice surprise. Thanks again marshydro for the chance to showcase your lights. Hope I can do them justice.

week 7. 1st week of flower under my FC 3000 sponsored by Mars. My new Favourite light. Did a quick lux test and she gives out a great equal PPFD. Top piece of kit. I love it. Am looking forward to seeing how my photo strains do under this light. Total I'll be flowering 4 plants started under this light and I'll be vegging 1 photo and bringing her right to harvest on this light. 20/6 she's doing OK. I would have loved another week of veg but hey. She's doing well building but some sort of a base that I didn't put on her before I flipped her. Gave her a high bloom dose. And on the 18th I gave them all a terra power enzyme boost. Base nutrients was a little high since a lil too high I think. 800 I should have cut it by a 1/3 but it's been off base nutrients coming near a week now so it needs them, I did give some core terra power bloom and silica. https://marshydro.eu/products/mars-hydro-fc-3000-led-grow-light/

Week 8 D50. 26/6 We are just into pre flower. She is doing so well. She needs a lot of LST and some defol before she comes into heavy pre flower which is very close. I can't wait to bring her to harvest, I'm dying to try this award winning strain. I'm glad she's getting in that veg I couldn't fit in before I flipped her. I would have been best just giving her the growth she needed to fill out her flower heads but hey. My 1st photo, my 1st mainline, I will definitely do it the right way the next time. Less growth and take it ealier. But overall I don't think its that bad a job. I should get some nice super lemon. Am keeping her on 2x base nutrient feed once a week. 1x enzyme feed a week. 1x bloom booster 1x water+calmag. 5 feeds a week total. Normally with soil I'd feed less but with the temps I'm clocking my soil dries out fast. 27/6 big stretch happened yesterday. Temperature dropped to a low low 20c in my flower tent for some reason. And well, you see the results for yourself. An absolute mess. I'm going to need to rethink/reshape this lady. Will get stuck in tonight next pic hopefully she's have lost some weight and straighten her self up a bit, she's be just throwing herself all over the place. 4.5cm in 12 hrs is too much. 30/6 Chopped away a lot of growth and LST'ed the crap out of her. She's pointing up towards the light. Will add a pic later. Thanks for dropping by. gottagrowsometime

D64 FD 14. Doing really well, loving life under a beast of a light 1500+ ppfd. Runs great. Can't wait to let her loose in a bigger area. But for now, she's doing the job I set her on. Have only good things to say about this light. The quality is far beyond anything in my current arsenal. And it's only going for 300euro atm. Or you can get the FC-E you will lose a bit of ppfd as they run under different diodes but still excellent. My FC runs with mostly Samsung diodes. There is no power difference. Just ppfd dif. And a slight price difference. I love that you can put the driver on the outside. Makes a difference in a tent. Thanks Marshydro and Terra Power for sponsoring me the gear I needed to up my grows. They both know who they are. Thanks ladies Use code GGS for a little discount on any marshydro website, (expect amazon).

Week 10. Fd14/15 good week. Have dialed in Terra Power Nutrients so far with this grow. She's doing really well. Will be moved into the 150x150 this week and will get a better dose of light. Wish I had trained her better but she is doing good and I'm happy with my 1st mainline. Could of been better but also could of been worse. I done everything late. I let everything grow and stripped it as opposed to how its meant to be done, and you strip and keep stuff as you plan to grow it. But it worked out okay in the end. About 5-6 weeks and should have some nice super lemon haze. 14/7 I actually like the shape of this 1. She looks really well. Not burnt to shit and I've been focusing on more enzymes on this lady. She's growing really well. When I do another mainline I'll definitely be focusing more on LST and I'll be uppoting 3times. From 1,7L-5L-11L-15L. And I'll be doing an 8 week veg and making 32 nodes. Or thereabouts and she'll be kept even. Will take up the whole 70x70 and will be using my marshydro. If this bud is nice I might do this again in the future but I want some ethos beans, or something from AMS . Thanks to marshydro & Terra Power and to my sponsors, they know who they are.

D75 FD20. Doing well, buds are getting nice and big. Hopefully they'll swell in the next few weeks. I missed out on the enzyme part on this grow too. Not happy with root structure. Should be much better. My own doing. Hoping it'll show in the bud quality with good nutrient uptake. Dying to try this gal. Will be moving her into the big tent with the other photos, and more pics will be added to the weeks as I'm expecting big change in the coming weeks. Am giving 1 base 600ppm nutrient feed 1 bloom booster feed and 1 enzyme or calmag feed. And then 2L of water at the end of the week. Use code GGS to get a small discount at any marshydro website.

Week 12. D85 D30. 1st mainline. Not a great job, but not terrible neither. Should of let it veg another week or 2 after I stripped her. Getting nice and frosty. Am going to put the Dehumidifier in the tent and set it at 40% this week. D87 She's doing well. Buds are nice and fat.. there's 1 or 2 larfy spots, they are well ahead so I'll leave them. The buds above them, are already dense. Have put the dehumidifier inside the tent and it's set at 40RH but goes up to 45-50 after it turns on rest mode before it turns itself back on to bring it back to 40. I'm hoping this is going to make a big impact. As its going to cost around 50euro just to keep constant dehumidification until harvest. But, I should get north of 250g for my 4 plants so, for that, I'm willing to put the money into it. Changed the water today. Roots are in good shape, nice and white. D88 Makes no sense, my DWC plant is dying when everything else is poxy fine. She's doing well. She's over with preflower about 15-20 days now. She's going to start to swell now. She's been getting nice and hard and building put fat dense hard colas with short pistils and a high calxy to leaf ratio. Colas come up about 25cm from the base of the manifold. She has 8 main colas and about 5 mid sized ones and about 10 smaller colas that come of the main 8. I know this is not the way it's done. But I'm getting some good results from my way, which I do like. But, on my next manifold I'm going to grow them out properly and and strip as I've grow and not strip before I flip. As she took so long to get herself to a point where she could make new flower heads. So next time, I'll make the points and LST them out then veg for 7-10 days and when she has nice bushy points then I'll flip. But I enjoyed it regardless and it does make for a good looking plant. Am going to drop some stuff and just focus on key nutrients now. COUPON FOR MARSHYDRO!! Use code GGS for a small discount at any marshydro site.

Week 13 D92 Flower Day 42. 43cm tall. Very healthy and she's getting super fat colas. She is sticky but I'm hoping the frost will triple in the ripening weeks coming within the next week or so. Am starting her on Triton (Overdrive) and a light diet of bloom boosters and the odd enzyme feed. I know I've missed out on this round getting the full use out of Terra Powers Enzymes. But I will get there. Its been fun getting to use these nutrients, and they will be showing their faces again on my next round, but in a much smaller way. I'll be putting 1 organic + 1 synthetic and I'll be using Terra Power as the Syn and Green House Feeding as the organic side for the Dutch passion contest.

Week 14 Day 101 Flower Day 51, she's just about there. Going to apply Terra Powers finisher later during the week. She still has a lot of mycelium left on top and throughout her, I really dialed in the enzymes on this grow. My charts aren't updated properly I'll finish it this week, and will be showing root shots and hopefully we will be seeing a covered pot in roots and not just compacted soil. There's been a lot of fungi and mycelium, that is partly down to Terry Power mixing well with organic soil, it works well as a great soil conditioner. But it takes a while, I constantly fed this girl enzymes. And man O man, look at them buds. The colas are huge in length, and that's down to poor mainline practices and uneven energy distribution. As for left and right been similar, well, put it this way, you'd struggle to actually make something that's more uneven energy wise than this, there's nodes growing over nodes, nothing is even, really terrible mainline it the way it's meant to be done, the purpose was totally ditched here and it was very lazy. And to be honest, unknowingly is an understatement. And the fact I had such failures on my 2nd round with germination, I got to focusing the last few weeks, and pult it all back together and I've hit l got 2 pretty darn good looking phenos, (with no clones taken, another rookie mistake, if you find a pheno you should always have a clone tent and a few weeks into flowering if it's no good or hermies than ditch them, but if you get one like my SLH dwc with very low leaf to calyx ratio if you just have 1-2 clones, you are golden. So currently I have 5 different photos running and I'm pheno hunting. Anyways back to this grow. So, she's nice and fat, but nothing you'd really want to clone, there's nothing special about it. Medium-calyx ratio and good frosty bud. I'm happy with it. Thankfully I'm running a few of the New Green House Unreleased Strains for testing also for barneys so I think photos have stolen my attention. Keeping the RH between 40-45 temp is more stable atm at 28c not really getting low temperature as we are in the height of summer. But I don't care, I have the winter coming to do terpness. I've got 1 SLH left, I just hope she's a good pheno. The buds on this are monsters, and really happy with them. Lots of mycelium left so there's food left and then later in the week I'll apply the finsher. Just a low dose. D103 Sadly my mycelium got hit with some mold. Only 2 small spots, 90% most of the mycelium went through the norm, it degraded as organic matter and made for some heavy buds, she is struggling to hold herself up altogether now, am going to have to brace her to get the best out of the last 10days. She is done, but because of ALL the heavy minerals, that aren't organic, it has HAS to be flushed. Now I was on the ropes the last few weeks about flushing but I've been flushing both my SLH for the last 4 days and when you walk into my tent now, wow, the bang of 🍋 is so strong. I'm so glad I flushed these, As I was like, this is a multiple award winner, so I was like, its not from the smell of the bud as it stands but wow, its like she's at to been doing a 10k run and is sweating, the smell is so beautiful. Wow, wow, wow. I haven't been this excited to try some weed, ever. About the mold, its never a good thing. But as it started on actually fungus I'm not too worried about it. Now, if it had of just been there, I'd be like shit wtf, so I dug through some soil and scraped away the 2 bits of mold, DISCARDED, and mixed up the remaining mycelium into the soil with the spoon I use to mix my soil on top to help dry a little if over watered. Also it help let air into your plant, as your soil dries o2 gets sucked into your substrate and that. COUPON FOR MARSHYDRO use code GGS for discount at any mars site.

Harvested. This is the way I'm doing most harvests now.. As you can't rate a pheno on just its apparence I feel. So from now on, smoke review will be all done and rated on the same to make it fair. As after an hour of harvest you can't change the ratings, and how can you tell how strong a strain is until you try it. 112days total under the light. I Added up the cost of this light running. Worked out at 177euro, now the 1st 50days was only ran under a 100w. I've already gotten 150g from 2 plants, and expecting another 250ish so 177euro +/- 5euro for 400ish grams of some of the best bud I've got so far, is more than a deal for me. As in my country it's 150euro for 14grams of good weed, so 400g, well, not so hard to do the math. Even if I got just 150 I'd just be as happy with that. I'm 4 days in. Keeping RH between 58-61%, have the dehumidifier set in the dry room. Temperature ranges from 20-22c. Mostly stays at 21c. Was able to take a HST'ed cola, removing it was no stress as the stress was already done when it HST'ed itself. It's 18g after 4 days of drying. The bud is so so dense, definitely hitting A grade appreance, let's see if we get A grade taste/stone results. This was 1 of the mid range colas, there is much bigger but I won't be removing them, but if this is anything to go by, I should get 100ish grams when its dry of some of the biggest buds I've seen in a while. The smell has got more pungent, but it 100% needs a cure. No hay/grassey smell as of yet, (this comes from been dried wrong, either 2 fast with 2 humid conditions, too hot, or your environment is jumping all over the place. I've been able to get rid of most of it as it goes after a week or 2 from the cure but there's 2 plants that still have a some what hay smell. But it's going. Was given her last heavy watering last week and then was given 1L of Terra Powers finisher and I let the soil get dry under the light, and when I felt it was dry but not hitting the stress factor in the substrate I put into dark rest, (soil will stop drying out, as photosynthesis has stopped), dark rested 48hrs, uprooted, and hung whole. Thanks to my sponsors from marshydro led lights and Terra Power Nutrients, and to the 2 reps I dealt with, great ladies. COUPON FOR MARSHYDRO Use code GGS at any marshydro site for a small discount.

Great colas, lovely huge frosty buds that stink of 🍋 and has a much deeper musky earthy smell than her sister DWC pheno. Has a light woodie smell also, that might be the earthy smell, though also, but it smells different when you split a bud or grind some, (more to come on smoke report). I got about 20+ colas. Out of them 8 were proper, and should of just stuck with a much more simple shape, as you can see in my pic of the base, I didn't max out on the energy whatsoever, with so much stress im shocked she didn't hermie. She got a little calmag sickness in week 3, probably with a touch of sulfur in there also, I was using filtered water so there was something on top of a calmag, but mainly calmag. Epsom salt and biobizz calmag fixed it right up. (The epsom salt, in a small dose of 250ppm is fine, that's with 110ppm baseline). Love, love this strain. She took all the abuse I threw at her. And even on the 2 colas I did trim they were super sticky. It's all dry and in jars, I wasn't expecting her to dry this quick. I harvested whole, roots and all. I let it go dry on top, moist still in the substrate and after 48hr dark rest she was still up a not droopy but was easy to pull up, broke the soil from the roots and hung dry her whole. As my temp ranged from 19-22c I had the bud on the outside dry quickly while the inside dried slower therefore she shrank, (maybe that's the other way around, I have to look into it), and the huge colas/buds got a lot smaller. Thankfully I kept the RH between 58-62% and there is little to no smell of hay i had gotten from the other hot dried bud. 7 days drying whole, will trim in the coming days. And update with smoke/dry weight results. But I can rate it at 10☆ as I did taste it. It's lovely. More to come on that.
