60x60x120cm tent. Basic cheap one not sure what brand, if any. 200w CFL for veg, and a 250w HPS for bloom. Gonna continue with biobizz and maybe a couple of other supplements later down the road. Soil is biobizz allmix. Says pH ready so no need to adjust. Hopefully that's right!
Good week, all seeds have popped. Only given them the initial watering of 500ml each, gonna give them another 200ml each today probably. Temps are nice under the CFL, but when I plugged in the HPS to test it, they skyrocketed up to mid 30s. May have to get a more powerful fan when flowering starts.
Continuing to grow nicely. I tried the new 250w HPS I bought for a day and my temps shot up to 40 degrees c so gonna stick with the CFL lamp and supplement it with a couple more smaller CFL bulbs.
Nice growth the past week, really leaning into the light though.
All looking healthy and green and tall so i have started lst. Gonna aim for a spiral but we shall see how it goes. Second bend of LST on day 25, taking it nicely so far :)
Started on Biobizz Grow on day 24.
Not much to say about this one. Continuing lst, plant is looking alright. Not great not bad. Biobizz grow on the go now. Did a little defoliation a few days ago to allow more light to hit the lower parts.
Hi growdiaries,
Got a couple of issues on my plants here. The last 4 pictures show the problems, firstly there are holes appearing in the leaves and it looks like something is eating them. Haven't seen anything alive. Also a few spots appearing. Mould? Had bad air for a bit.
Hey Ash, basically i've been looking at your photos and what i can see is that you don't actually have pests. That's good news but prevention is key : make sure all intakes have a maximum 90 micron mesh screen protecting them from intruders like mites and other pests; if you're nervous buy some live ladybugs (its actually the only thing that truly works strange but true !) and release them in the grow room. Otherwise what I think might have happened is that the leaf got damaged when you were moving the plant when it was young or something. those brown spots are probably nothing, but just to make sure I would simply add some cal mag because it looks a little like the start of magnesium deficiency. Good luck with the grow ! 🚀
This one is doing nicely. Defoliation went well and it's getting more light to the tops. Stepping up the Biobizz nutes slowly but keeping an eye out for burns. Al staying nice and low probably could have let her get a little taller but this works out nicely. Hopefully see some proper pistils soon.
This one is currently the closest to the light. I will see if I can bend it down any to get it in line with the rest. small amounts of trichs forming hoping it'll look good soon!
Buds are starting to take proper shape now, second quickest of the four I have now although the sweet tooth did get topped possibly slowing it down. Got some bad looking marks on lower leaves some are completely dead. Look like pH or phosphorus. Got a pH test pen on the way tomorrow so will test when I water them. I will update the diary once tested.
Tested pH and it looks good at 6.9 so I'm gonna increase bloom nutes cos it could be phosphorus or magnesium.
Buds looking like buds now. Should just be fattening up for a few weeks now. Smells very nice (hard to tell which one is stinking) adding calmag to see if it helps with the leaves dying off. All looking good!
Day 59 added video of trichomes from multiple tops. Quite a few amber already hoping a couple weeks and it'll be down.
Ok, very nice week here. Plant is stinking haha, very sweet smell. Trichomes are looking very cloudy and are starting to turn amber so am gonna hold off on nutes, or at least cut them down. Hopefully harvest end of this week or next week.
Issues with the leaves seems to have stopped after adjusting the pH and adding some calmag.
A week of fattening up here. The smell from this one is divine :) Really sweet. I am flushing this one with just water as i see a lot of amber on the trichomes and think its very close to the end.
So just waiting for the soil to dry out on this one. Will post a harvest when it happens. Surprised i havent pulled it out yet TBH haha.
Accidentally gave water with lots of nutes..........watered the wrong plant. So it got overwatered and overfed. But as its organic im not too concerned. Might be a bit rough to smoke but itll be mine!!
Best looking plant I have this time round really looking forward to trying it. Probably next weekend. Will update then.
So dry now and mmmm, very nice smoke. Gone into a jar now for curing but even before that it's tasty! Very easy to grow its a shame its an auto, otherwise I would have revegged a clone to keep. But alas, here's to the next one!
@Ashbash, I check your progress weekly to compare breeder results! I am using a LED 600W full spectrum, the brand name is ONEO its doing the job well so far!
Thanks for the input bud, I will try and capture a few before buying them. love the natural solutions haha. Good luck with yours I'll be following. Interested to see how the different breeders compare. I'm looking to get myself an LED light, what are you currently using? Was gonna use a 250HPS but the heat is waaaaaay too much lol.
For your size of tent you need T5's , the seller from your shop should have tell you what kind of equipment is suitable for your box...
Of course HID will raise the temp and CFL or too weak to grow proper buds !
@Ashbash, there is eBay it will be sold in the day , its just gonna take you longer to fill up all their sh*t to subscribe. Otherwise if you have bought all this equipment in the same shop, just tell the seller you want to swap your HID versus a T5’s lightening ramp and some money back of course.
thanks bud, I have never considered getting t5s, I always thought it was just another for factor of CFLs. will look into it now and maybe swap after I find a buyer for my unneeded lights.
Congrats for the harvest!!! I just harvest mine yesterday, it was really big for an auto in 20 liters pot. And have a really nice citrus smell. Looks more sativa than indica. When it is dry and cured i'm gonna update the diary. Nice dense buds you have here! 💪
@Frondosarecords, thanks bro! It's tastes real nice not what I expected from something I grew myself haha. Hope yours makes you as happy as mine did for me haha.
Dry trim I think. It's a little more finicky wet but I hear it has a better smoke. Did my critical kush dry, I think ill try the sweet tooth or malana bomb wet. Gonna take the bigger fan leaves off when wet though.

@CRiSPrGrow, Cool, thanks for the advice man. The only intake i have is from the vacuum effect of the extractor so not sure how to filter that. Will look about adding some calmag. Will continue to monitor though 👍👍
Sad to see the leaves issue mate, I hope you found a good way to overcome that! the genetics of you NYCD to mine are very different so far, Its been interesting to compare that week by week!
