Tent-X Ultimate Grow Challenge / Terp_Djiny

Terp_Djiny Hello everyone, this is my diary for the Tent-X Ultimate Grow Challenge. About the genetics: Grandmas Genetics - Fruit Basket #6 The strain is a clone project from a test grow for Grandmas Genetics. This phenotype particularly caught my eye as it developed very quickly with very dark purple buds. The aroma that develops during the first weeks of flowering resembles an orange tree grove. The taste is very fruity. Orange is also very dominant here, with lemon and other tropical fruits rounding it off. The clone has now produced several shoots to fill the 80x80 tent in the flowering phase. I am trying my first screen of green with this plant. The whole thing is illuminated with a SANLight 4-80 Evo 1.5, which is controlled by the Trolmaster Tent-x controller. The controller also continuously monitors the temperature and relative humidity in the tent. You receive notifications via the app if the temperature or RH is outside the set parameters. Settings can also be made directly there. Additional sockets can be controlled with the accessories to operate exhaust fans, humidifiers, heating or circulating air fans. The medium in which the plant is placed consists of: 60% soil, 20% perlite and 20% coconut fiber. So far, I have only fertilized with Green House Feeding BioGrow at the beginning of the growth phase after rooting with 9g of the fertilizer in a 3L fabric pot. Every two weeks I watered with 1g/L GHF BioEnhancer. In the 6th week I planted the plant in its 25L pot with about 10g Dynomyco Mycorrhiza and another 3.5g/L GHF BioGrow. The scrog net was installed at the beginning of week 12. This allows the shoots to be woven further underneath during the stretch phase.

Terp_Djiny The first week of the flowering phase is over. At the start, I applied 3.5g/L GHF BioBloom. First massaged into the top layer of soil and then poured in with 2 liters of water. The plant also reacted immediately to the switch to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. The stretch is also slowly starting. In the next few days I will spend a lot of time tying down the shoots. I hope that the plant will fill the whole tent.

Terp_Djiny Ende der zweiten Blütewoche. Wie bei der Mutter werden Die Blütenstände wieder direkt lila. Das Zelt ist auch jetzt schon leicht mit Orangen Duft versetzt. Ich habe im unterem Teil der Pflanze, unter der höhe vom Netz, einige Blätter und Blütenansätze rausgeschnitten. So verschwendet die Pflanze keine Energie in die Produktion von Blüten die eher wenig bis garkein Licht abbekommen. Auf der Oberfläche des Substrats bildet sich auch ein schönes Myzelium. Gegossen wird alle zwei Tage mit 2L ph-angepasstem Wasser. End of the second week of flowering. As with the mother, the inflorescences immediately turn purple again. The tent is already slightly scented with orange. I have cut out some of the leaves and flower buds in the lower part of the plant, below the height of the net. This way the plant doesn't waste energy on producing flowers that receive little to no light. A beautiful mycelium also forms on the surface of the substrate. The plant is watered every two days with 2 liters of pH-adjusted water.

Terp_Djiny The third week of flowering is also over. This week I started adding Calmag from BioBizz to the irrigation water. 1ml/l and from now on with every watering. In the past, I noticed that the plant was really hungry for CalMag under my previous LED lamp. Apart from that, I let the plant grow and enjoyed the sight of the magnificent flowers.

Terp_Djiny Flowering week four. This week I removed a few more of the lower inflorescences and leaves. The buds are already nicely covered with trichomes and the tent is also filled out. I don't think the shoots will stretch any further upwards. There are slight "burns" on a few leaves of the highest shoots. I fear this is due to a slight excess of fertilizer as I worked another 20g of fertilizer into the top layer of soil this week. This should ensure the supply of nutrients until the end of the flowering period. At the weekend I also gave the GHF BioEnhancer and as with every watering, Calmag.

Terp_Djiny Flowering week 5 The week went well. The buds are growing and becoming increasingly resinous. I continue to add two liters of pH-adjusted water with 1ml/L CalMag every two days. I haven't done much more than that.

Terp_Djiny This week went great, the buds continue to grow and become more and more covered with trichomes. The smell is even more intense than during the first run of this beauty. This play of colors inside the tent is simply beautiful. During the week, 2 liters of water were given every other day. Once with GHF BioEnhancer and otherwise only pH-adjusted with CalMag.

Terp_Djiny During the week I watered every two days with two liters of pH-adjusted water and watched the buds get fat. Here and there a leaf is already falling off at the bottom, yellow and dry. For me, this means that the nutrients in the soil are gone and the plant is starting to draw on its reserves. The trichomes are already mostly milky to amber-colored. I think it will be time to harvest in a few days. Over the next few days, I will cut out the first sun sails.

Terp_Djiny This week, the buds have all increased in mass and the smell is becoming more and more intense. The leaves are slowly losing their color and are already falling off at the bottom. I think this was the last week. The trichomes that I have seen so far under the microscope were all milky, except for a few isolated ones that were already amber-colored.

Terp_Djiny The week was quite short. I didn't water, but let the plant suck the remaining water out of the substrate. I harvested on flowering day 57. At harvest, 494.8g of thick buds and 274.7g of trim and smaller buds landed on the scales. I will process the trim and the small buds into bubble hash. All of the harvest is now hanging in the drying tent. I keep the temperature there at 18-19 degrees Celsius and the relative humidity at 50-55%. Monitored by the TrolMaster Tent-X. In about a week, the buds should be ready for the jars, where they will develop their full aroma. With this grow, the TrolMaster Tent-X controller has shown me very nicely which parameters I still need to tweak to get the maximum out of it. With the help of the temperature and RH monitoring and the associated dimming function of the lamp, everything harmonized quite well. I will definitely buy a few more extensions for the Tent-X.
