Veggi day 1: today i planted the clones directly in the Plagron Light-mix and watered with Hesi Root Complex. At the moment they are a little bit stressed but this is normal when using the light mix directly i think 😜
one 80x80cm tent:
2x 120W (240W) Kingbrite LED panel (QB288/LM301H)
7x Clones: Sensi Star Paradise Seeds in 11 liter pots
-> & today the cheap 80x80 tent got tweaked with the Secret Jardin Ducting Flange Kit & Light baffle system 😍 hopefully this helps against the light leak problem (see my last diary -> Super Cheese banana party 😉)
one 60x60cm tent:
1x 120W Kingbrite LED panel (QB288/LM301H)
4x Clones: Sensi Star Paradise Seeds in 6 liter pots
-> & today the cheap tent got tweaked with the Secret Jardin Light buffle system 😍 hopefully this helps against the light leak problem (see my last diary -> Super Cheese banana party 😉)
the Xiaomi Flower Care Sensors and the drip watering will be installed in the next few days! 💪
veggi-day 14 after putting the clones in soil: 2 plants in the 60x60 got too much water so i seperated them. the rest had a little shock (lightmix) but are allright now :)
veggi day #23: led panels @ 30% of power @ ~60cm from the tops.. i think about switching to 12/12 in the 80x80 cause of 7 plants on 80x80cm (maybe enough and no more training?)... i topped the plants in 80x80 once a week ago.. the 60x60 is more a fun project i think (maybe the 3 sorted out clones will come back cause they are getting healthier...)
tomorrow hard switch to 12/12 (veggi day #28 wih 18/6 hours, flowering day #1 with 12/12 hours): cause they need nutes soon i don't want to wait another wekk cause maybe they will stretch too much and height is a problem (depends on how much % they will stretch now) so i decided to switch to 12/12 tomorrow. Here the first pix :)
i decided to put one of the seperated clones back to the tent (~2 weeks of flowering already done with "sunshine"), so don't wonder about the third plant in the 60x60 tent which already flowers :)
also i prepared all flower nutes from Advanced Nutrients/Canna/ATA to do the first 1/3 of the recommended amounts of AN tomorrow :) & raised the power of the 3 led-panels to ~66%
flowering day 11 (flowering week #2) since 12/12 switch: plants lookin great! the smell is really intense at the moment . On flowering day 6 they got 1/2 amount of the advanced nutrient plan and on flowering day 10 they got only Canna CANNAZYM und Canna Calmag (low doesed) :) i think i will defoliate a second time when watering&feeding tomorrow (ths oil-EC is a little bit too low at the moment). Don't wonder: 1 plant already flowers much more cause she is ~2 weeks ahead (switched the lady from outside to indoor). Also i raised the power of the led-panels to ~70% power 😎
flowering day 25 (flowering week #4) since 12/12 switch: 7 days ago i spotted some spider mites on one plant and directly killed the lady in the 80x80 tent/240W. all other plants in both tents still look healthy since i isolated/killed her and sprayed a very little bit of BAC Vitality Plus (Vertimec rsp Avermectine........) on the other ladies once to be 100% sure that they are not infected... next time i will use Pyrethrine on the last 18/6 day before switching to 12/12 again... BAC (Vertimec rsp Avermectine) isn't a good solution in flowering but in week #3 - but when it's hard to quickly organize Green lacewing larvae and raise the RLF - i had no choice to 100% save the other ladies ...😕
... today they got 100% feeding of advanced nutrients plan in 15L (AN Sensi Bloom A+B each 60ml, AN B52 30ml + Canna Cannazyme 37ml +little bit Canna Calmag + [new] AN Big Bud 30ml) water, so the soil EC quickly raised to 1.2-1.9 from 0.3-0.6 (flower care sensors) -> yay.. i made heavy defoliation after the mite spotting so don't wonder why most of the leaves are gone 😉 also i raised the LED panel to 60cm distance from the tops of the plants to the panel and raised the LED-panels power (poti) in both tents to 90-95%! i notice that they some plants need more water but watering all 3-4 days is still ok! Also i renewed some temperature sensors cause 2 of them + 2 flower care sensors are fucke* up/broken/offline ;)
-> all in all: i hope the mites won't appear again. All other things are as expected (maybe next time i will raise the LED-panels distance earlier) 👌
... don't wonder if you look at the sensor overview: (new) super silver haze clone in the 40x60 tent -> it's going to be the new mother for the next cycle
flowering day 35 (last day of flowering week #5) since 12/12 switch: ... yesterday they got 100% feeding of advanced nutrients plan in 15L again with overdrive [new] (AN Sensi Bloom A+B each 60ml, AN Overdrive 30ml [new] + Canna Cannazyme 37ml + AN B52 30ml) water. Everything works like a charm now.. but i am a little bit unsure if there ist still a light leak.. am not 100% sure but i saw first signs of hermie on one plant.. i will check this out in the next days 😎
flowering day 39 (flowering week #6) since 12/12 switch: ... today they got 100% feeding of advanced nutrients plan in 15L again with overdrive (AN Sensi Bloom A+B each 60ml, AN Overdrive 30ml+ Canna Cannazyme 37ml + AN B52 30ml + AN Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra 15ml) water. plants lookin really good at the moment. no new signs of hermies + very intense smell 😎 soil EC after feeding: 1.8-2.0 (perfect) 😇
flowering day 44/"FD44" (flowering week #7 since 12/12): everything fine + 2 quick pics before the weekly update... more pix following in the next days!
flowering day 45/"FD45" (flowering week #7 since 12/12): ... again: today they got 100% feeding of advanced nutrients plan in 15L again with overdrive (AN Sensi Bloom A+B each 60ml, AN Overdrive 30ml + Canna Cannazyme 37ml + AN B52 30ml) water. plants may got a bit too much nutes but i think it is "ok". still there are no new signs of hermies butthe intense smell is getting hard...😎 At the moment they nearly need much water... the last 2 weeks feeding&watering all ~6 days was enough (this is a little bit strange..? but maybe caused by the lower temperatures)
...for safety reasons i placed a few blue stickers next to the bottom leafs in the 80x80, just to be sure in this stage
flowering day 54/"FD54" (flowering week #9 since 12/12): ... i think about feeding the last time and maybe add some calmag tomorrow.. but i am not sure today
flowering day 59/"FD59" (flowering week #9 since 12/12): ... the final 1-2 weeks with only water/no feeding :)
flowering day 60/"FD60" (flowering week #9 since 12/12): i just uploaded a video 😎
flowering day 61/"FD61" (flowering week #9 since 12/12): early today i spotted four banans/nanners (first row right) und two banans/nanners (first row left) in the 80x80 240W tent on two plants in the (closest to the camera) first row. Cause they are nearly finished i decided to crop these 2 plants.
They look really beautiful and purpled very much., I think the reason for the purple is that that they where the closest plants for the fresh air within the airflow and it was sometimes a little bit cold.
I am a little bit frustrated cause the quantity could be 50% more but this time i am pretty sure that the LED panel was too close and/or too much power (95% powered 2x 120W panels). Next time i will use a new tent and plan to spend more time for the hole air and carbon filter setup. This time i had not enough space to raise the panel higher... Maybe the spide mites attack in the early flowering stage was also a factor.
flowering day 65/"FD65" (flowering week #9 since 12/12): just a few shots before the final crop in ~1-4 days 😎
Summary for the next grow:
1. next time i will raise the LED-panels distance higher and reduce the power to 80% in the late flower
2. buying a better 80x80 tent
3. i will use poison in the last days of the vegetative phase again to be 100% sure that mites&thrips have no chance
4. four plants in 11L pots are enough in the 80x80., Otherwise it is hard to keep care of the plants in the last row. This will make the veg-phase longer (training) but i think the better airflow and more space are really better
5. next time i will use a scrog-net again... handling to stabilize the buds every day is too much work 😂
not the best grow (spider mites in the first flowering week, led panels too low, bananas [again] in the last ~2 weeks before finish) but all in all the results are still "ok" . the sensi star taste is very nice with a heavy indica buzz and a great "earthy" taste 😎
crop part 1 (flowering day 61 since 12/12): early crop (80x80 tent) because of bananas, 2 plants -> 60g (not perfect) cured & dry
crop part 2 (flowering day 67 since 12/12): 4 plants crop (80x80 tent) -> 691g wet -> (not perfect) 125g cured & dry
crop part 3 (flowering day 73 since 12/12): 2.5 (one lady joined the garden 2 weeks "later" than the others) plants crop (60x60 tent) -> (not perfect) 84g cured & dry
=269g dry

@THCanbisGrower, thanks! i am pretty sure that this time everything will go as aspected! :) temperature is getting better and days shorter so if i don't do a feeding and/or watering mistake everything should be fine this time :) i think this time i will try reverse osmosis-water again and add calmag seperatly :)
@tribe4tix, man I gotta tell yhr honest to God word to the bible , best stuff I have ever used , killed mites , it is a PGR that make the plant produce its own defence, like honestly you use it once and you will be hooked !!!! https://diablonutrients.com/monster-guardian/
You will never have a bug problem again !!!
@TeamQuality420, thx buddy! again ( every(!) 2-3 grows... 😰 ), i had a "little problem" with spider mites 7 days ago... but as far as i can see killing the one sick plant and spraying of a really little bit BAC Vitality Plus solved this... next time i will use Pyrethrine on the last 18/6 day before switching to 12/12 again... BAC (Vertimec rsp Avermectine) isn't a good solution in flowering but in week #3 - when it's hard to quickly organize Green lacewing larvae and raise the RLF - but i had no choice to 100% save the other ladies ...😕
@Mr_BFL, thanks! 😉i hate them soooo much ...! 😡every 2nd grow (without poison in veg week 2-4) i have to "kill em all"😉 even on the "normal" plants & balkony💀😅
