Tent-X Ultimate Grow Challenge / Mr2toke

14/12/23 - Day 8 from seed MilkyWays are slowly coming along!! 1 is showing me some yellowing leaves already...i think i may have contaminated her little starter pot with some nutrients from the syringe I was using. 2 and 3 are going strong. No yellowing, and slightly bigger leaves. I decided to water around the peat pots so as not to drown the seedlings. let's see how this goes!! 18/12/23 - Day 12 second set of leaves are emerging from the MilkyWay F1s. Plant 1 isn't yellowing anymore, and I haven't noticed the same problems for Plant 2 and Plant 3. Things are looking green for now. solid start! 💪🏽

20/12/23 - Day 14 MilkyWay's are off to a great start! 14 days from seed today, and some true leaves have started to come out! Plant 1 still looking as it did, and i feel is lagging behind by a few days now compared to 2 and 3. Im also trialling a drip feed system as I'll be leaving the seedlings unattended for 11-12 days! 3.5L capacity and a Im testing out the drip rate of 5ml/h for a few days to see if it'll hold when im not around! Plant 2 is looking to be the main plant this run, with the way she's been developing! Plant 3 is the middle plant. I wont judge so early on because i've seen some stuff in my runs. let's see how this goes!! 23/12/23 - Day 17 I decided to move runty Plant 1 from the fabric pot into the 10L plastic pot which housed my previous runt. Plant 2 and 3 are doing great. 2nd and 3rd set of leaves coming on nicely! All 3 plants have the IV bag up and running, on a 5ml/h drip. Temperatures for this grow currently have been 25-28C and RH is playing around 55-70% At this point, the roots should have already broken through the peat pots and getting into the Plagron mix. so far, so good! 26/12/23 - Day 20 Plants are all looking good today! Nice and green, getting tall, apart from 1. She looks like she's gonna die, or at least close to dying. Plant 2 and 3 have grown taller in the last few days. They're both looking strong and green! I've upped the drip flow to 10ml/h.

28/12/23 Day 22 I leave these little beauties today for 12 days. I've topped up all 3 IV bags and I've set all drip volumes to 10ml/h which should still leave about 1L of fluid in the bags by the time I come back! All 3 plants are looking the same as last week; Plant 1 and 2 are getting taller and wider, showing nice spacing between the nodes. I'll be waiting to do LST until I come back. Plant 3 is spotty. If she survives the 12 days, she'll flower. If not, then it is what it is! Plagron AllMix should start to kick in and feed these little beauties.

Day 34 - 09/01/24 I came back to find that the plants are still alive after 12 days of neglect! Plant 1 before I left, i decided to top Plant 1 as she looked like she was dying anyway. Today I came back and she's grown 2 strong looking heads! I decided to trim and lollipop the little plant, and I topped her again. Plant 2 she looked over grown and bushy with big big fan leaves when I arrived! I gave her a good watering, just with water, and a good trimming too! She's a little stiff to bend now so LST will be a no go, at least on the main stem. side branches are still very workable. as soon as she picks up again, ill start the pulling! Plant 3 she's alright, not as big and as stiff as P2 so she's the perfect candidate for some good ol' LST. All of them are still very sad looking, im hoping to see a good bounce back within the next few though!

Day 36 - 11/01/24 I topped Plant 1 before I left, and she's grown some very nice heads! so i decided to top those again to see what happens!! hopefully she pulls through!! Plant 2 and 3 are both looking perky again! Did some light defoliating and a little LST on the uppers as well as some of the side branches! I gave them all a good drink of water and some nutes and they're all bouncing back really well so far!! ---- Day 40 - 15/01/24 The tent is looking good. P1's heads are finally growing back. 2 look good and strong, 1 looks good, 1 looks alive. Long way to go for this one, if it survives. Heavy LST started on P2, got her pretty stretched out through the week. Plenty of strong bud sites present, a few smaller ones starting to turn up too. P3 is looking alright. a smaller version of P2, She looks about a week behind. Still haven't started using nutes on any of these plants, the AllMix should still have plenty juice left in there. Water and faith is what's keeping them alive!

Day 42 - 17/01/24 All plants are looking vigorous today! Tent is very green, LST did it's job, and bud sites are all upwards! Keeping a close eye on P2 and P3 for any yellowing as they're coming up to the 6 weeks in the medium. P1 is making some headway with 3 of the sprouts. one is still weak looking. 18/6 Light cycle in place, all at 100% intensity. Temps are around 26-28C in the day time and around 20C at night. Lights off temps hover between 16-19C Negative pressure in the tent, all is looking well. We're pushing close to flowering!! Day 45 - 20/01/24 Whilst doing some checks, I found a little buddy growing next to Plant 1. I must have been sloppy when I topped the plant and dropped a piece into the pot!! I don't know what, if anything, will come out of the little thing, but im gonna leave her in the pot, see how she goes!! P2 is looking pretty good. Bud sites all exposed to light, did some slight clean up on the branches. Pre flower signs are all over this big plant. same with P3 as well. Gave all 3 first bit of extra nutrients this grow. Used some Plagron Products. Let's see how they take to it! 1ml/L Plagron PowerBuds, Green Sensation and Sugar Royal as well as 1ml/L of CalMag. Day 47 - 22/01/24 All Plants are looking great! vigorous and lush, responding well to the extra nutrients!! P3 is getting the major LST treatment this time. Got all branches stretched out, all bud sites in direct light. I also folded down the lip of the fabric pots to expose more of the lower half to air and light. Looking good so far, flowering fast approaching!!

Day 49 - 24/01/24 Great progress last week, good start to this week! We're in flowering!! for some anyway... Plant 1 - pushing out some nice heads. 4 nicely stacking heavy looking heads. she's about 2 weeks behind with her progress. Plant 2 - is hitting her stride, bud sites are plentiful and looking fairly well stacked! a few lowers and projected larf, but we like butter so It's fine. Plant 3 - isn't too far behind Plant 2, also in early flowering! much smaller bud sites, also much more lowers, I didn't train her too well! she's about a week/10 days behind. Some leaf tips have turned brown after giving nutes. Going back and sticking with plain tap water until they turn yellow!! Rearranged the tent to utilise space and make it easier to reach the plants! RH maintaining at 65% Day Temperature 27-25C Night Temperature 18-23C 18/6 Lights -------------------- Tent X TCS1 has arrived and is integrated into the system! Lights have been connected and have been set up to follow the lighting schedules.

Day 56 - 31/01/24 The Milky Ways have definitely been doing some growing! They're green and healthy!! P1 is producing so much more than I expected considering the condition she was in before I left for 12 days. Plenty of bud sites, nice even canopy. very small plant! P2, the normal looking one. she's well into flower this week! buds are thickening up daily, and the smell is starting to come! very sweet, and a little piney. P3 is growing well! She's much smaller than P2, but she's got plenty of bud sites for her size! filled out pretty well, considering the poor LST I did with this plant! I've avoided defoliating P2 and P3 like I usually do, because I I saw good results from my last plant where I didn't defoliate too much either! Let's see if we can replicate the results! I tried another nutrient feed on her yesterday, and Immediately saw yellowing tips again. so I gave enough water to flush the excess. Let's see how she looks in the morning! Plagron Allmix is working in there for 8 weeks now, and I guess it's still going strong! ——— The TCS-1 has been of use for a week now. I've found the app easy to navigate. RH and Temperature tracking on the go is a godsend! Historical data is also very useful with tracking the pulse of the grow. ——— MarsHydro TS1000 and SpiderFarmer SF1000D running very together! Lights are hanging about 18/19 inches above the plants, and PAR reading is at 600-850PPFD across the canopy. Im looking to substitute for another TS1000, and then giving the SF1000D its own tent! Bring on the next week!

Day 63 - 07/02/24 Continually great progress from the Milky Way F1s! Plant 1- the topped plant is starting to hit flowering! I have a feeling this will be a Butter plant! Plenty of bud site, quite small but plenty! Plant 2 - She's doing well! The colas are swelling daily! I didn't defoliate this plant like I usually do, and she's fine with it! Plant 3 - She's doing alright too! catching up with P2, she's hitting flower nicely! There's a sweet smell coming from the tent, almost chocolate like! I can't wait for these ones to be finished! I gave all plants some PK this week. P2 I gave some extra N as well, as the leaves are starting to yellow a little. TrolMaster TCS 1 has been great with monitoring tent conditions this week. RH 60-67% Temps 20-26C

Day 70 - 14/02/24 Disaster. Absolute disaster this week. Plant 2 - she's been running alright. Gave her some nutes as she's been looking yellow. Flowering is going well, buds are swelling daily! I also gave her some light defoliation today. Plant 3 - she's growing well too! I gave her some nutes this week. Flowering quite nicely too at the moment! she looks different to P2, smells different too! Not so much defoliation with this plant, her structure allows for tucking. Both of these are growing under the Mars Hydro TS1000. Now. Plant 1. she was accidentally given the wrong bottle of feed and has taken a turn for the worse. She was flushed multiple times through the week and has not managed to pull out of it. 80% of the leaves are starting to get crispy brown. The damn clone seems completely unaffected. I'm gonna give her the rest of the week to see if there's any sign of life, otherwise she's coming out. sad day. sad, sad day. Day 74 - 18/02/24 Plant 1 has shown no changes, and has gotten worse so she was uprooted and disposed of. We're down to 2 plants flowering very well.

Day 76 - 20/02/24 Both plants are nearing the chop!!! Plant 2 is milky milky, with very few amber domes present. Plant 3 is also quite milky already, but she still has more clear trichomes. Looking to cut both these plants on the 26th!! Watered each pot eith with 1.5L of tap water at pH 6. Both plants have had a small trim up and defoliation to avoid mould problems. I won't be watering these plants anymore, ill let then dry up a of couple days before I cut them down. TrolMaster Tent X has been brilliant the last few weeks, keeping me informed on how the tent is at all times. Plant 2 is under TS1000 and Plant 3 is under SF1000D. 24/02/24 Both Plants are ripe! Both have amber trichomes visible, one more than the other! Cut down soon come

Milky Way F1 grew so nice, this run was pretty automatic! Plant 2 grew big, and she had the least amount of problems in the cycle. LST worked well on her, even though I got there late.

Milky Way F1s have been cut down! beautiful colours, beautiful scents! pretty straight forward grow!! good results again with RQS. Gave them both a quick little defoliation before hanging. They'll be in a closet with a small fan for about 8 or 9 days.
