Day 0. Got new setup : aka light and tent from Mats Hydro and went for small grow off ;) Great AMS strain, loved the taste Ts1000 great light with dimmer for insane low price. Solid durable Mars hydro tent, tested not one. Day 2. Girls could not loose shell, so streched a bit, helped with fingers before photo shoot;) Happy Growing !!!

Day 10. What a hard week it was. Got heavy flue, could not do anything, so they got overwatered and later dried out, humidity was too low too ... All should go better from now, installed new air system, oscillating fan and took down humidity dome. Light is great, dont create too much heat, so temps are now really better. They are getting 60 ml of water every 3 days. Think next week i will transfer them to final pots. Happy Growing !!!

Day 15. Girls got dried up again, but i transplanted them !!! Now in one day they stretched, happy and all will go as diamond ! Think i lost one week at the end of grow with all those hiccups ... Pots 30 liters, were topped up with Biobizz All mix soil 80% and Biobizz Worm Castings 20% , each girl got 600 ml of water. Big pots sorted low humidity too , now i have too high even, but exhaust is sorting excess.. Light is working well, but ... coverage for 3 plants is impossible, so for veg i still with help of pot rotation will manage, later ill plug one of my quantum boards as extra. For two plants TS1000 would be perfect in veg, for flower still its one plants light. Money wise its a huge grab ! Less than 100£ for 150W with dimmer ... Honestly impressed with it , maybe next week i wont mention it , but .... ;))) Tent is doing her job too, perfect size for 2-3 plants, even 6 inch fan fitted perfectly ! Strawberry looks tallest from all, will need some LST soon. Happy Growing !!!

Day 23. This girl should be big, stretching and side shooting lika a champ ! A bit sensitive to magnesium and nitrogen, but all is going better. Next week or maybe a bit earlier i will start training. Girl is on pure dechlorinated phed water diet. 6.3 as always. Thinking to give 1000ml instead of current 600 to them. Girls drink every 3 days. Great light no doubts! Mars TS1000 and daily rotation around axe, plus changing positions every 2 days - helps a lot with even development. Day 26. Small training for her was done, again main stem was twisted for 20-30 sec between fingers and top bent sideways. That helps to strengthen main top and allows other side shoots to catch up for even canopy . Still think wires will be involved with all, too little space, need to optimise it .... Happy Growing !!!

Day 29. Best from all but very sensitive to nitrogen, pot is still full and as she takes over all of it , she constantly have few overdose issues. Very responsive to leaf tucking , stem twisting, forms nice canopy, will be biggest producer no doubts in this run. Will try to bend main stem with some LST in few days. Mars TS1000 - Light is solid and does job. For last week output is on max . Still rotate a lot, but am happy with development. I miss more good wind inside, but i live in shared house ;)))))))))))) even really silent air system is still loud on desired speeds ... Hope next week ill send her to flower. Will top up with Worm Castings and Mycorrhizae during training in few days, when girls will be watered next time. Rhythm is good, every 3 days pots are light. 1.5 liters to each went straight in after photo shoot. Day 31. Applied BioBizz Leaf Coat when lights went off. Loads of training was made today too. Day 33. Now girls are trained daily. Top shoot twisting, leaf tucking, rotation around axis , changing positions inside of tent and so on. Always wash hands before any training, it is a must. Still havent made mind, scrog or lst ... Think tomorrow will be watering day and i have to decide which way to go , i am fliping them at next watering 100%, otherwise again rush to harvest before late spring holidays ... Happy Growing !!!

Day 35. I know its last day of previous week, just didnt wanted to mess with week type. Its BIG week . New light was added and rhythm changed to 12/12. Pot was top uped with 3 handfulls of BioBizz Worm Castings. 1.5 g of Biosys and 1.5 g of Great White were added too. After training she got 2.5l of water, fastest drinker at the moment. Girl got small defoliation, when you bent main top, one fan leaf is always staying in everyone's way, so he had to go. Think to do big clearing on day 14-18 of flower. Got first wave of LST, main top was lowered, couple shoots were repositioned and secured too... Girl is a racer, double the size of others, thinking to scrog her even ... Still get nitrogen excess and magnesium issues, girl is on plain water, but pot is still too rich and i added castings ;)))) TS1000 by Mars Hydro, great light, did perfect job during veg period, now i added one more for better coverage of long tent. Think in tent 1x1m i could manage to flower all 3 without any ad ons .... Great small light for amazing price. Day 37. I see more progression, went with 3.5 liters of higher ph 6.5 , run off was 495 ppm, 6.3 ph, so all should sort out .... i still believe its more overdose than lack. She drinks fast, was even droopy a bit, needed watering few hours earlier... Day 38. Looks like higher ph and run off helped her a bit, anyways still see some damage, but form of even canopy compensate everything, she is very nice ! Day 41. Girl got heavy training, 5-10 leaves were taken off, most shoots secured. One leaf was double ;))) 3.5 liters of 6.3 water went in. Happy Growing !!!

Day 43. Girl is a bit droopy, just woke up ;) But she is picky. Looks like nitrogen excess is in the past, she is 57x57 cm square;))) hard to rotate. Had to lower her too ,most of all, she didnt liked it a lot ;) Now most branches are on wires, so i just reajust running ones to even canopy and tuck leaves. HUGE girl , great strain ! You need cheap light ? Check Mars Hydro TS1000 ! Happy Growing !!!

Day 51. Big training day, but she is unhappy, i think underfeed, overdry and too intense light. 240w is a big add on. I was late with watering, plants were droopy. Heavy bottoms clearing, sides reviewed, wires readjusted, some leaves went off. 3.5 liters of 6.3 ph went in. Big girl , needed proper feed, but i want to try to push mostly with soil, extra bacterias and extra worm castings. Thought it should be enough, if in few waterings they will go more pale - ill add some boost. Searching for small new led light ? Check Mars Hydro TS1000, personally think, its a great deal ! Happy Growing !!!

Day 57. Not a happy camper, but she grows, still fades tho. A bit confused what is stressing her. I cant give good air circulation, think this and too intense ligh caused her unhappiness. Mars TS1000 is dimmed to 80% , quantum board on 60% output. I know she wont get green, but hopefully sugar leaves manage to stay healthy, which they are at the moment. Otherwise its a pitty harvest from such big plant. Not first run with that strain, always picky, but grows big ;) maybe with last bean ill crack her style, saving it for future ;) Tomorrow watering day, still plain water. Happy Growing !!!

Day 65. She is fading FAST !!! Too fast , pot is totally overgrown, she is praying at least, so kind off happy in my mind ;))))) Planning to give some Great White and Biosys today, will rub them into soil before watering, girl will get 3.5 liters of water. I took few dead or faded leaves away, so slowly reducing amounts of water too. Happy Growing !!!

Day 71. Biggest by size, but maybe not by overall weight of harvest ;)))) she is most hungry and lost foliage... This girl definetly makes me regret, that i didn't use any nutes ... Smell is weakish, worst from all 3 . Mars TS1000 did a great job to her during veg, but now she spends time under my quantum board. Took most damaged leaves away. 3.5 liters of water goes in. Day 76. 3.5 liters in. Lower part is far from maturity, she needs like 3 weeks still i think. Getting some funky colours ... Happy Growing !!!

Day 79. 3.5 phed water in. Worst looking and most lost foliage girl, but she will be biggest by harvest. Heavy lack of food, but she should make it ;))))) Most damaged/consumed leaves were taken off. That strain always grows big and frosty, but this time only big .... Needed better conditions 4sure... Happy Growing !!!
