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 MSNL, they sent few strains to test out, i went with Kush Mints ;) i love kushes ;)
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.
My second ever twins !!!! Side shot went out first, away from center, i was curious why , it was day 7 , on day 10 i got centre girl going !!!
All science says kill weakest, my friend failed to maintain first twins, but i saw great diary, so will give a go with both !
Day 11. All goes very well in normal conditions.
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.
Twins are going well and develops very nice ! Small, one shading other, but i work on this.
Day 19. Last day for humidity dome, made some work on Twins, no they are far apart.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 23 since seed touched soil. All is good in the hood, girls settle up, i see good signs, think soon they will blast off !
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, 1.2 litres went in.
Day 24. On second day after watering i always rough top lair of soil, for better aeration, my tool is in the photo ;)
Day 27. Girls are starting to bush out, soon will need to decide : lst or toping . Today 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. Twins are growing fast , like predicted;) Totally different construction of plants, will top both before next watering .
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 training gave 2 liters of water.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 36 since seed touched soil. Twins are going great, definitely smallest, but 2x , so here anything can happen ;) think i managed to keep both even, decided not to top !!! Two wires for main stem, not to crack and secure top low, few leaves away and girls should take space nicely. Forgot to make photos of plants before LST !!!
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, a lot new ties added.
3.5 liters of 6.3 phed dechlorinated water went in after training.
Twins grow okeish, but i see some damage on them too, canopy forms very nicely tho, thin, but very well spaced.
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.
Twins always will be in center, looks sad a bit, was needing watering maybe yesterday before lights off, missed few hours for not making them droopy.
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.
Day 55. Twins are thirsty !!! They are very sensitive , yesterday all good, pot still heavy for a day and today they look like this, pot light ;))) will recover in few hours.
Watered, did light cleaning before, only bottoms and shoots with 0 chance to make it ... Watering exposed new roots, plant occupies top up lair fast !
Happy Growing !!!
Day 60 since seed touched soil. Twins are running !!! But nice ;) Heavily overcrowded, always sad when missing water, drinks fastest from all 3 now.
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 ....
Twins got all those nice new roots dead now. See no big damage in canopy, but notice discoloration, leaves went to darker blue green shade , were way more healthy bright green. Beeing so close to light it could be only feeding factor influence ...
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, twins are 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 done, i see many pistils shrinked. Some roots recovering, see new whites again. Leaf colour fades into patches, far from best ... At least drinking ... Watered yesterday, 5 liters in. Hope to do top up and watering on 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. Twins are showing signs of light burn and toxicity. I always get toxicity during first few waterings with slow release nutes. One twin is bigger and way frostier than any other plant in garden.
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. Twins are nice, but not perfect ;) Smaller twin shows a bit of magnesium issues. Taller one wants more potash i think. Both are showing some colours !!! Smaller on bottom buds gets some violet, Taller shows it on top colas and leaves. Taller is very crystaly, took 2/3 of Twin space, only few high colas are from Smaller ;)))) I could not keep them both even, but its far from fail. Still dont know would i leave weaker plant. Numbers will make it more clear at the end.
About light burn :
tested not once, if you have everything in ideal conditions, you can push plants a bit.
Twins are same height as AK, 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. Twins are amazing. I see smaller a bit behind, didnt do bottoms photos, but it goes to purpe colours in . Bigger twin tops fan leaves getting purple too, vey nice 💜 !
Gave 7 liters with 20% run off and 3.5 g of Biosys inside.
Last any kind of top up.
Mars TSL2000 is on max, with nice distance , hope to get nice ones from twose two ;)
Happy Growing !!!
Day 92 since seed touched soil. Twins are gorgeous !@! Sparkly, camera autofocus badly and i dont care much, but they will be SPECIAL ;)))
Fingers crossed 🤞
No work left, just collecting dead leaves from inside of canopy.
Mars TSL2000 is on max output. Great light, girls loved it, i was happy to test it for free ;)
Happy Growing !!!
Day 99 since seed touched soil. Twins are great, smells kushy and fresh, aka mint ;))) smaller twin has loads of air, colas didnt developed well even lolipoped so high. Has purple colours in buds. Taller twin is diamond really, all frosty, bottom buds solidly matured. Will try to push 2 more weeks, then i think i will be forced to harvest AK and Twins, Joe is really behind, needs 4 weeks or so still, cant see even Twins running so long, i dont speak about damaged AK even ...
Watered today. Around 5 liters in. Wet/dry cycle takes 4-5 days , in reality thats all job left till harvesting, a bit boring for grower, maybe that's why some chop too early ? ;))))
Mars TSL2000 is giving all those girls needs, guess its one more easy 1g/W grow . All Mars Hydro lights brought me this or higher rate. Real good money invested and result got ... It was a privilege to test not one of theirs products !
Happy Growing !!!
Day 106 since seed touched soil. Twins are great ! Looking frosty on all levels, bottom buds getting mass, tops fades a lot. Will push them for 8 more days, then harvest time.
Watered today, one more left. No work needed, just waiting ;)
Mars TSL2000 is giving all love those girls need ! Happy with development and how plant grew under, no smallest doubts !
Happy Growing !!!
MNSL - Kush Mints
Day 115 since seed touched soil. Will update later. Drying. Great strain !!!
Day 123. Taller Twin 96 g, Smaller Twin 46 g. 142 total. Will do full review in a week or so ...
Second ever Twins for me (one seed = two plants ) , this time i managed them a bit better, but scrog eventually slowed down Smaller Twin totally. Both got pink undertones in bud. Grew nice, lovely strain no doubts !!!
First inhale - fresh mint , then comes citrus and classic kush at end. Was expecting to be a bit more smelly, but i really enjoyed smoking it, quile strong i would say.
Amazing result, especially when you think that i grew it in hotel rented room and all possible equipment was limited by sound or noise fear ;)))) Can't wait to rerun that strain !
@greenAF, thanks, i live in shared house ( imagine renting room in hotel and growing, thats Me now ), normally would run one more fan inside and 6 inch out on almost max, now root zone has no air movement. I cheat by opening one of vents on oposite bottom corner to extraction fan, that gives some extra air movement, but lack is very visible in downgrading bottom canopy.
What a stunning marvel has flourished! 🌱 With grandiose buds and a bountiful harvest, truly a sight to behold. 💚 Congratulations on a successful harvest! 🌿
@ReinDeer, you are referring, that previous grows were mehhh ???? ;))) some of them were not so bad ;))))
On serious note, check what they crossed to get that strain.
Very crystaly, dont pack long colas, but already smells sweet.
Mr Canucks in his recent video said that such structure brings better terps than any heavy stacked long cola. Fingers crossed 🤞🤞
@TheUk420Show, i like autos, but they are for outdoors in my mind ...
Btw i still hold biggest plant records indoors by autos, had two in soil, both finished in 250g area each. No photo came even close, but i veg photos max 6 weeks usually ...
@AsNoriu, I have never got along with autos I have tried many times to grow autos though i have never got the hang of it. I just dont like the lack of control i have when growing autos. I'm much more comfortable with clones :) Hey we all get it wrong sometimes i have some burnt tips on my biscotti cause of lack of caring lets say haha
@TheUk420Show, Thanks, i try to maximize plant without heavy harm, that works. Plus i run two houses from my top3 that i tried here. Ams, mnsl and wse are great houses, easy to get nice results, i should mention Fast buds autos,always great taste too. In other words its genetics, mine is only failures ;)) i screw up AK in this run, calcium deficiency and toxicity looks almost same, now i know ;)))))))
@Metatronix, sometimes they look ok, sometimes i wish MORE ;)))) had TWO fire inspections in a row !!! Dont know how it will end up ;)) looks quite for now ;))))))))
@Metatronix, magnesium sulfate. Easiest way to bring Mg in. Has N , so be cautious .i go with 200 ppm max. Sleepy Joe is still a bit not happy on Mg side, so i play a bit.
Have a great trip home and wonderful celebration with family !!!
@AsNoriu, You always push me, to learn new things, need to check what epsom salt is 😅 Fingers crossed all is good...Christmas season is working its magic on people 😅 On me to! In the morrow we drive almost 1000 km. to visit my family for the holidays, super stoked about it.
@AsNoriu,taip translate ir tą panaudoju :) Juk puikiai žinom,kad šiemet,pas mane oro sąlygos buvo daug palankesnės,nei pas tave,čia jau kaip gamta duos, o vidus tai kaip ir vidus,merga baisi :D tykiuosi naujas augimas bus geresnis vandens filtravimas bus naudojamas visda 2x, Gaila,kad atidėjo legalizavima pas mus iki balandžio 1 d. Nebetikiu aš jau jais, turiu įtarimų,kad balandžio 1d. pasakys pajuokavom :D todėl verčiuosi su ta mini deže dabar,ir 50w :D nors labai norėčiau susirinkti didesne :) noriu daugiau patirties,įgyt,bet negaliu :D
@Naujas, google translate ? ;)
Du is eiles komentus dejai tam paciam dienorastyje ;) aka spamini ;))))
O apacioj rasiau, jog siemet lauke mane sunesiojai i skutus, netoli ir vidaus auginimo pergale ;)
@GrowthConsultant, soil is BEST ;) its twin mate, my second ever ... 1 seed = two plants ;)
i tried different plants in one pot, most stupid idea ever. maybe it can work with clones, but i feel that they still would compete ...
1 pot , one plant.
i dont know yet, would i leave weaker plant if i ever have twins again, i am leaning more to leaving only one, stronger one.
@AsNoriu, Soil itself is a different, every substrate is able to have in hand, little by little getting experience and learning how to drive 😇
I actually saw that just now lol, wow nice experiment 😍 all 3 pots have 2 plants in planted or just one have?
Great idea, having two means increased yield plus quality . it's like a SoG
Great 👏
@GrowthConsultant, i saw few diaries were people managed to keep both twins even. I lost flatness with scrog. One shoot up, other didnt like it and stayed low ..
Thanks for nice words!
Looking great, I'm struggling with conditions in my new space.
Moving mid grow , really not fun. Not only snapped and bent some and some hospital time they didn't get fed almost 2 weeks lol. Such a rough run this time (and had some gear and two plants stolen when I was In the hospital horrible start to the year) .
But don't mean to ramble. Impressed with this tho knowing how tough it is keeping them happy with very limited control atm.
But best of luck, looking forward to seeing how they finish for u!!
@Grow4Releaf, all mistakes or accidents makes us stronger, well more prepared. If any tissue left , you could give her support and use paper tape to cover wound like bandage.
I had inspection once, had to rent white van, move girls there, disamble everything and let people in, in 2 hours everything was back to old. Many things can happen, now you will grow in new place, next will be from A to Z at same place.
Weed should be legal to grow for your own consumption. Fact .
Take care !
Nah, all glory goes to Samsung S23 Ultra, that fucker auto filters photo, they look WAY WORSE. Fact.
Hate myself a bit, but one more lesson to repeat LEARNING :))) PH PH PH PH .... ;))))
@Hou_Stone, thanks !
You wont believe it, but like a year ago i saw your avatar, falled in love, found many similar ones, but not this , very very very nice !!! ;)))
