Day 0. New adventure !!!
This grow is sponsored by Mars Hydro, they kindly gave theirs TSL2000 light to test out. With 3 auto plants it pulled 343 g, so more than 1g/W , great result !
This grow i will try same nutrition line, everything by Ecothrive , some LST and later scrog maybe even ?
Second sponsor of this grow is Seeds Mafia, they sent seeds and promised 50 euros in cripto or cash ;))) Will update on that 4sure ! ;)))
Day 5. Girls is out, first from all 3 strains
Happy Growing !!!
Day 9. What a big mistake was to think, that i save time and can start 3 plants under one weak light ... From 11W table light they strech out so much, no air made stems super fragile and lanky ...
Finally drying is over and they are moved under great Mars Hydro TSL2000 light, all should go way better now.
ALL NUTRITIONS ARE GRAMS TO LITRES !!!! Neutralise is in real measurement only. All this weeks nutritions were mixed into to soil, amount counted for 30 litres pots. Soil was mixed and left for two weeks to cool down. Was using it as stable humidity maintenance in dry room.
AK47 is fastest and develops nice to conditions she is in.
Day 11. All goes well, i see no issues from now on .
Happy Growing !!!
Day 15 since seed touched soil. Girls could be 3-4 days older and more established for transplantation, but i had 4 work days upcoming, so did it earlier.
3 g of Great white was sprinkled on roots, 3g of BioSys was sprinkled into potting hole. 2 liters of 6.3 ph water went in, pots were really dry after cooling down. Will water plants in 7-10 days, but its only way.
Beeing under Mars Hydro TSL2000 brought girls to good grow pattern, this light is great now. When room temps are low, like in autumn, no issues left with it, i have 23-24 cel in grow room, perfect conditions.
AK is still biggest and develops very nice !
Happy Growing !!!
Day 23 since seed touched soil. AK is doing amazingly fine ! ;))) grows very well, looks healthy, so went for LST straight before watering.
Mars Hydro TSL2000 is dimmed to 50%, not planing to increase , till plants will occupy all pot. Light is working amazingly, all 4 girls are happy !
Watered today, 1.5 litres went in. Her pot was almost empty light, got most
Day 24. On second day after watering i always rough top lair of soil, for better aeration, my tool is in the photo ;)
I broke biggest branch !!! Tried to pull out small one to light and just totally snapped biggest side shoot. I always recommend to work with plants before watering, then they are lanky, not fragile or crunchy and snappy like after good drink ...
Reajusted main tie, plus few leaves got wires, just to position them better.
Day 27. Reajusted ties, added few more, made girls Biobizz Leaf Coat shower, will be applying it once a week, lights dimmed to minimum during application and fan on max for 60 min to dry out leaf surface and back to normal outputs.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 30 since seed touched soil. AK is going great !
In this weeks plans to top up with Bio-Blend , Biosys and Great white, will do it with next watering. Schedule not the best, girls take 7 days to dry out, but i load a lot for small plants ...
Mars TSL2000 is doing great job, plants not overstretching, branches develops nice.
Did small LST, took few leaves away, they were under bended branches and would cost more troubles with touching soil than any energy produced. Gave 2.5 liters of water.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 36 since seed touched soil. AK is going amazingly, branches strong and fat, repositioned a lot, took around 8 leaves away.
Girls drink slowly, only tomorrow will water them, its 8 days ... bad cycle, saw some new signs of magnesium, but generally all are really healthy.
Mars TSL2000 is now on 65% will increase +10% each week from now, distance wont be changed.
Girls got Biobizz Leaf Coat shower to reduce training stress a bit.
Normally would do training before watering, but i do overtime tomorrow and won't have power for that .... plus no planned top up, all postponed till next clearing and watering, then flip !
Day 38. Girls recovered from training very well !!!
Happy Growing !!!
Day 43 since seed touched soil. Hard week past. Those long not drinking days when cycle was taking 8 days to dry out made damage, i still see magnesium, but now added some rusty spots and i cant understand is it calcium or my spraying of Leaf Coat and burn. No spray this week, will check if new will appear. Because of troubles i postponed flip and top up till next watering. It should be in 4-5 days.
Done huge clearing, few more new ties added, reajusted old. 4 liters of 6.3 phed dechlorinated water went in after training.
AK grows very nice, branches thick, will have solid size colas, can see now. Was damaged least, but beeing picky you can see some ;))
Planning to create scrog this week too.
Mars Hydro TSL2000 is on 70% output, thinking to increase it with flip to 75. Light is working fine , really covers all space , great affordable light for colder climate.
Day 45. Girls recovered from training very nice ! In few days flip .
Day 47. Girls got top up. Put first level of scrog. Flipped to 12/12, tent is rammed ;) light output on 75%, 4 liters of 6.3 phed water went in.
Top up was dosed, mixed well and laid on top, then i rough and mix top lair of soil with top up and only then i water.
All pots are 30 litres ( grams and ml , have in mind ) :
Ecothrive - Biosys - 5 ml / pot
Ecotrive - Charge - 120 ml / pot
Ecothrive - Life Cycle - 60 g. / pot
Ecothrive - Bio Blend - 200 ml / pot.
Think this will be my standart top up, i run out of Great White, have for one top up, will do it in 2-3 waterings seperately from all.
Planning to repeat same top up at begining of week 4 of flower. Girls look better without spraying, most prob burn from too intense light, despite me giving 30-60 min of reduced to minimum after spraying. From now on - only when lights off. Will apply in few days, think Saturday.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 50 since seed touched soil. From now on all is in stable position.
AK will always be in right corner from now. Biggest, fattest girl in all garden, takes a bit effort to bend even few top, stacked and fat ;)
5 liters went in, want good run off and saturation.
Later today will install second level of scrog.
Reposition all shoots, some are lost, i almost regret instaling scrog, lost control of even height a bit, but canopy is very dense, branches went fatter during that week, i am happy .
Mars TSL2000 is on 80% will increase to 90% at the end of this week.
Day 53. Second level of scrog almost eaten, will have to make third, plus heavy clearing awaits next week ...
Day 54. Think tomorrow is watering day. Girls need good clearing, bottom canopy been canibalised heavily, lack off air shows a lot. Will do third level of scrog together with watering.
Happy Growing !!!
The things they don't tell you is the bars in the light is the same colour as the Italian flag, so only one of them strips is white light the rest are red and green.
Its shell is made from 100% durum wheat semolina and when your feeding your plants it will none stop say "where family" and play the olive garden theme song. They don't daisy chain if you get more then one it just looks at you can says 'get outa here' you also need to shave the light once a month or it will stop functioning.
Better options out there. Shocker there is no truth in marketing on a cannabis site with zero accountability or credibility. Er well heavy stretched truths.
Day 60 since seed touched soil. AK is going great !
Watered girls yesterday. Thinking to do heavy bottom clearing today. Dropped idea of third scrog level. Girls are secured enough and i dont want to loose access totally. Running out of height ...
Distance to light- around 15 cm. Mars TSL2000 works just fine, with open window i keep day temps in 22-24 range.
Took down all LST, cleared bottoms.
Day 62. They run !!!! Already panicking and contemplating idea of taking carbon filter out of the tent. Have 25-30 cm left, space to light like 10 cm ;)))) Tops next to walls starting to drift behind, obviously not right coverage aka distance to light too small, not using all footprint wise ...
Happy Growing !!!
Day 65 since seed touched soil. Big disaster in garden !!! I added epsom salt and didnt phed , was in a rush to overtime, they dranked in 3 days , that was unexpected ....
AK has root damage as rest, but on canopy i found 5 spotted leaves too, reminds calcium .... Hate myself, ph test kit was on table too, prepared, i just f@cked up in rush ...
Running out of space. Mars Hydro TSL2000 is doing great job, two plants are like 5 cm away , still no signs of burn.
Try to keep humidity in 65-70 % range, temps around 22, nights 20. All works.
Will top up this week with next watering, want to give one plain.
Wrong Ph led to slow uptake, AK is in limbo, behind couple days by weight, if troubles are bigger than i see now - maybe even 3-4. So sad .... One time wrong ph and you can damage garden heavily ...
Close up bud photos were taken under max light, so colours are false.
Day 66. Damage is done, see calcium rusty spots around,leaf colour not the best ... At least drinking normally, loaded 5 liters yesterday eve. Hope to do watering and top up this Friday.
Day 68. They drink fast, 3 days were needed only. Loaded 5 liters again. Made top up. See bleaching, raised lights , have 10 cm left.
Top up was dosed, mixed well and laid on top, then i rough and mix top lair of soil with top up and only then i water.
All pots are 30 litres ( grams and ml , have in mind ) :
Plant Success - Great White - 5 ml / pot
Ecothrive - Biosys - 5 ml / pot
Ecotrive - Charge - 120 ml / pot
Ecothrive - Life Cycle - 60 g. / pot
Ecothrive - Bio Blend - 200 ml / pot.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 72 since seed touched soil. All is okeish in garden. AK is stacking well, has damage from slow release nutes and light burn. Nutes always do that shit for few waterings, plus stupid PH damage, which led to weaker plants and light burn....
you do one mistake and all chain of issues comes up ... its hard to grow in limited conditions ....
Mars TSL2000 is now on very healthy distance. Works fine.
Temps are in good range. Humidity spikes to 70 on watering day, but is in 60-65 during others.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 79 since seed touched soil. AK is going with heavy damages. All top colas got light burn and shows calcium deficiency.
I tested not once, if you have everything in ideal conditions, you can push plants a bit.
Twins are same height, but escaped burn (just prooves my point ). So height is ok if you can handle it.
I know theirs plenty of calcium in my food, colas still grows, now when distance way better, new leaves dont show any symptoms. Even if you look from side view, all is okeish ;)))
They bulk, but it will be less ...
Cant blame light, Mars TSL2000 had same distances during auto run and i had no light burns, despite heat and other things. It was me with ph and i think AK is a heavy feeder, had lack, could not cope ...
Daily take few dead leaves from bottoms, few healthy but shading from top and thats all work whats left till harvest.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 85 since seed touched soil. Oh boy !@!!
How wrong I was ....
I knew my soil has enough calcium, i did few runs without any calmag, one of them without any nutes and plants coped with hight temps, short distances to light and so on way better.
Its not deficiency , ITS TOXICITY !!!
I had N, had P, but its my first Ca.
Backtrack. After last top up i screw up with ph and i gave epsom salt in that run. That trigered, maybe pots ph. Rusty spots progresing.. after two plain watering cycles i see good signs, third one i overwaited, soil overdried, saw leaves curling, not happiness, but blamed calcium in my mind, so i gave light dose of Thc CalMag, 0.5 ml/L instead of recomended 2ml/L. On second day heavy progress and yellowing. Waited 4 days, till dried out and gave 7 liters to each pot with 3.5 g of Biosys in each , ph 6.3 . Had around 20% run off, now its second day after bacterial tea and they look better.
They never stopped bulking or growing, that really confused me, thought deficiency.
Still long way for them, will be heavy trim jail, wont touch any of wilted ones, dont want to create bud rot problem with accidental damage....
Mars Hydro TSL2000 is on max, but as you see i have really healthy distance now.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 92 since seed touched soil. AK looks pitty, but she BULKS !!!
Hard trim jail awaits ...
Will usefully get rubber trim gloves as part of prize soon.
Mars TSL2000 is on max output, temps in good range, humidity with cold spells outside dropped to 50-55 too.
Few more weeks at least, best case scenario - Valentines day .
Happy Growing !!!
Day 99 since seed touched soil. AK is going fast to finish, will push her 2 more weeks i think together with Twins and chop separately from Joe. AK matured fastest, think damage by ph and consequences from that led to current situation.
Watering today, around 5 liters in. Rhythm is still 4-5 days, so two more waterings left i think .
Mars TSL2000 is blasting them nice, i see good coverage , photos dont show it.
Smell is very sweet !
Happy Growing !!!
Day 106. AK is going to end, i start to see ambers. Will push 8 more days.
Watered today, one more left and then chop.
Sweet smell is everywhere from her, very nice !
Mars TSL2000 has far reds integrated, so i expect a bit more coat ;) Great light !
Happy Growing !!!
Seeds Mafia - AK 47
Day 115 since seed touched soil. Will update after dry result is known.
4now - great strain, insanely sticky , scissors hash very strong, smell sweet and strong, most smelly from this run.
Day 123. 128 g from her. 17 g of air was used for butter yeaterday and not visible in photos.
Good few month later.
Great strain, grows huge. I could write same fraze under all strains that i tried from Seeds Mafia, always big seeds and healthy plants. I grew auto version and was hoping that photos will grow really strong, my expectation was satisfied ;)))) easy to train, a bit runner, needs wise/loads training to maintain, scrog limited me a bit plus it was really overcrowded . I did mistake with calcium toxicity, thought its deficiency ... Got lanky stems, burned leaves, but managed to nurse out for decent result, she could easy be 150+ if not me. Stacks long colas, i imagine with heavy feeding this strain is very productive.
Taste sweet with classic old taste of weed ;)))) hard to describe, but that what it is. Some earthy, sweet herb taste. Was strong enough for daily smoker.
Day 115 since seed touched soil. What a pain to trim it was , almost 5 hours wasted
and still see yellow ;(((( .... Journey is almost over ...
This girl taught me few things for sure ;)
Few month later : very important and lovely news, Seeds Mafia just transfered promised money for diary, so one more huge respect to them !!!! Great house, strong genetics and most important - they follow theirs promises !!!! Highly recommend !!! My first earned cash for growing , it was lovely !!! Check germination week if you dont get it ;))))
Happy Growing !!!
@AsNoriu,it is amazing idea. Remember now that seeing this too many years back on my grandparents gardens. I'm sure she look on you from heaven now and it's she is very proud of you. R.I.P to all our loved ones who no longer with us 🙏🙏🙏
@Herbie101, its not cloths. Its frost fleece, special agro breathable plastic, helps to maintain humidity under and protects from light a bit too, so i can blast them more ;)))
@@MyDearDiary, You are too kind, they look SAD, but magically still packs weight.
Hopefully i have those 3 weeks, otherwise i am in pain how to create drying room ...
@Hou_Stone, i am checking daily for bud rot signs, those dead leaves gives me paranoia ;))) but she bulks, so 100g is still easy in her, was hoping for 150 from vegetation look ...
@Hou_Stone, wrote message but its gone. Site still full of glitches.
I burned her with ph and trying to correct ;)))
Wanted to test photos, auto version outdoors was really great. Should be huge colas if not me.
Great stuff as always 💪 Them Mafia Seeds really bring big buds 💚💐 My Mafia does similar, the biggest girl in the grow room. Em super stoked about the big flower i got, just hopping the taste is going to be as good as the size 😁
@AsNoriu, The Romanians seem to have acquired great genes...before decided to grow them I took a look at other diaries with Mafia Seeds in them and wow they really produce nice stuff.
@eldorado1977, thanks ! But personally i would leave them without scrog on that week. Took mobility, positioning, access away and i didn't fancied that. Think its my last scrog ever.
@Jobbie, i burned this girl, she could be 200g , colas looks nice, but bottoms miss weight a lot .... i learned my calcium toxicity lesson with her ;)))
@Herbie101, it can always be better ;))) i did few mistakes obviously. i liked all 3 strains, but theirs maturity patterns i predicted wrong. Could choose other strains from same houses, got a lot for this run, but guessed wrong which would go well in combo. Joe is very slow, AK very fast, plus height differences ... Kush mints are great tho !
@Hou_Stone, years ago i was trying to save a month of veg and was plug-in carbon on week 4-5 of veg, but its a pain sometimes or leads to accidents ...
@Hou_Stone, how long carbon last or how long i dry ?
Rhino pro was always 1 year, changed from caution, not smell leak, Infinity 6 incher leaks smell on forth grow, missed 3 month to make a year. And i run out exaust 24/7 .
After wet trim they hang 7-9 days in 63-57 rh range, temps 18-20
@SeedsMafia, Both way !!!! i am a bit sorry, with outdoors i was testing no feed and two harvests in one summer, so results were pitty, here i made calcium mistake, but still - your girls took all the pain, strong genetics, it was a pleasure to grow !!!
AsNoriu
