In the first and second week of flower the plants got 2ml/l of both Voodoo Juice and Tarantula for development in the root zone. They also received 2ml/l of Bud Blood on the first week of flowering only.
I was about 4.5 weeks in veg until the flowers came. Feeding schedule for veg included 3 part base, voodoo juice and b52, plants were veg’d under a 150W LED (hypagera 450 cob). They were repotted at 4 weeks of veg and switched to 12/12 at the same time. I had one other plant in this grow however the seed turned out to be non-viable, it was Rolex OG (ah well another time)
A side project I have got going is a blueberry short-cake auto (it’s from bakery seed co, blueberry x wedding cake. It did have a terrible start but is looking great at the moment, I’m not sure though if it’ll be there or not though, I’ll give it up until the 3rd week of flower to see if I’ll continue with it.. it does sound like an interesting combo though.🤤
Hydro-tops Tripl F was thrown into the equation in the second week of flowering. Defoliation has been ongoing, if a leaf is gonna obstruct then it’s gotta go.
All grown with love under a platinum p900 grow light using advanced nutrients.
I’ll try and fill all the previous weeks in as I go but right now I am up to the 3rd week in bloom🤘🏻😬🤘🏻
Triple F by hydro-tops added to nute mix once or twice per week
Blackstrap Molasses added to nute mix once or twice per week oh there’s a California light works LED in there too solar storm 220 bloom booster

Gorilla Zkittles is looking the strongest and biggest so far but all 7 seem pretty healthy. Best smells coming from the Purple Strawberry Sherbert, wow something else🤤🤤🤤 the temperatures are dropping and nighttime’s are soon gonna be to cold in my little room. Possibly another timed heater to go in there to come on as the lights fade. Humidity almost under control i think I should be able to keep the tent at or around 50% fingers crossed, but that’s another few pence on electricity😕.
Steady progress from last weeks update. Although I may have mixed two of the plants up and the one I think is red dragon could actually be Zombie Kush, but I’m sure that’ll show in the next couple of weeks, there are actually 2 Zombie Kush in there, the mix around came at the time of repotting, if a mix around there was, ah the mystery of it all😜 smelling great in there. The purple strawberry really does have an amazing aroma, and the blue fire og has a super stench, I thought it might be a bit more fruity but I’m not complaining. The gorilla Zkittles is just pouring oil, the leaves and buds are covered, it’s been sticky for a while now the smell not so intense. The Zombie Kush are looking great (1 especially but this as aforementioned may be red dragon🙃) The red Dragon is also looking really good and filling up space along the stems with bud, not so much of a show of trichomes as far as this one goes but theyre there🤤 the critical orange punch is also doing well but isn’t that great to look at, I’m hoping as the buds fatten they’ll tighten up a bit. The smell from this one is gorgeous though and no doubt it will make great smoke. April is looking like a good month for flavours🤤🤤🤤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Last 2-3 weeks of the grow period now, expecting the COP to finish up first and I’m guessing the PSS is going to push it to 10 weeks, at least I hope so, would be awesome to have a fairly nice yield from that one. It looks and smells so good just need a bit more swelling inna da buds. All looking great. However got a slight nute burn to all plants from one of the last feeds. Only very slight and it was picked up quickly. The following feed consisted of Tripple F and molasses soup, holding back all other nutes until the following feed. Problem seems to be sorted.
The grow becomes a little more of a challenge day by day, the weather here is worsening meaning colder and more humid day by day, my cramped circumstances don’t help the situation either. The hum coming from my room now is also a little to loud and when everything’s running at quiet times can be Heard, when it really shouldn’t be, although I don’t have problems with that at the moment who knows who might hear it at the wrong time🙄 oh spring hurry along please.
First day of the seventh week of flower. Realised I’ve been over feeding meaning the buds had kinda stagnated😩😤🤬 a friend pointed out a possible cause and when I laid off feeding every day they seem to have kicked up again.🤗 Anyway live and learn. Now I’m feeding once every 2-3 days.
Tings kinda on track but I have pushed my nute schedule out a bit so big bud was just swapped around with over drive a couple of days ago. The COP is looking ready, I think I will Start to flush it at the end of the week, it’s got a fantastic orangey/bubblegum smell 🤤🤤🤤 the rest I will feed for 1 or 2 weeks then flush for 2, with the PSS being a possible exception maybe another week on top of that. The end is so close. I’m still not sure if the Red dragon is Red dragon. Could one of the Zombie Kush be a red Dragon 🤔🙄🤬😂
I’m installing another light in my tent well kind of replacing one for another, anyway I’m looking at the Hellion 750W DE light set up with adjust a wing avenger. Has any of you guys got experience with them out there? Is the investment good?
HIDs are sick , fat mf bud bro. i would go bigger if you can, 1KW for the win, check out wheetobeus420 on here she's got a 1KW, absolutely killing it fat buds for days, they're so heavy they dip down to the floor.... anyway one thing i would say though is that it's practically impossible to us HIDs without a cool tube. you do want to set it up with a cool tube for sure just so it gives you a chance to manage the heat. heat is an issue with these HIDs... just my experience. good luck with the new lights brother , i have a good feeling about this ! hope this helps ! 🚀
So.... Cop I started to flush yesterday, she’s really ready not just a few trichomes Amber, they really are popping everywhere. Everything else other than the PSs is ready too, all nice and milky. The aroma of the tent on the whole is just fantastic. The herb from this grow though isn’t going to be the most abundant it truly is gonna be a harvest of fire. Pretty much everything in there is caked up with oils bursting from every gland. I’m still not sure which one is red dragon, maybe Barneys could help🤔 I’m pretty sure now the pictures I’ve landed red dragon are actually Zombie Kush but again I’m not certain. New rule mames on pots straight away. I’ve just put up some pics of the Gorilla Zkittlez from this week so far, flipping heck she’s a sticky one. Got a really heavy sweet cookie smell to her, or that’s what I get, I’m sure we’re all percieving aromas and tastes way differently😂😂 anyway more pictures coming, and end well and truly in sight.
Update..... I’ve taken a few test buds from the plants, well all but the PSS. Looking great, all buds nice heavy and firm, the smells coming from them are sweet especially the blue fire and the orange critical, mmmmm can’t wait till after cure.
So slightly earlier than planned everything into flush. I’ve kinda been put out of action due to health but hopefully come noon tomorrow that’s all behind me. The plants are looking great. I took a few test buds from each plant, well all but PSS. All tasting so good so far the smells are awesome too, from flowers picked for test, Zombie Kush is leading the show on taste. I’ll update after tomorrow.
Awesome smoke, nice full flavour good strong high high! A lot of the pictures here are just the harvest in general. The end of the grow was disrupted by problems a man shouldn’t have to face but face them I did, anyway two operations down the line and from the 9th week of flower until now a fairly successful harvest. Although the yeilds aren’t as high as I wanted the quality is and much higher in some cases. On to the next grow with two awesome strains from Barneys and a FastBuds in the Closet😬
Beautiful plant to grow and the harvest yielded frost covered sticky mugs of pure psychedelic joy!!!✌️🏻🤤✌️🏻 Really awesome smoke, can’t wait to try it cured
Strong stuff possibly night time smoke, great smell, strange smell can’t really describe it. I punched it for Rosin straight away and as they say......Yup!!!!! Call the fire brigade!
Really love the smell, one plant yielded about 5oz the other about 3. As far as I can tell the herb from either is as good. Yeah an award winner for sure. Wow what a taste✌️🏻🤤✌️🏻
Update. 2 plants grown, 1 was better but both very good. From the better plant, 5 people to date who I have let sample excellent quality dried and cured buds of Zombie Kush have all reported to me that it’s the best herb they’ve ever tried😉😂😍😍😍😍😍😍 I was smoking it outside a Wailers concert this week also and about 3 people there couldn’t help but compliment on the smell. This stuff really is top quality and I could truly smoke it 24/7
Fantastic smell really dank blueberry and hash. Fast hitting and heavy hitting. Great night time strain. True fire. The smell alone gives you the idea it’s a bit of a dangerous creature.
This was a free seed but a really great one to pick up, the fire OG in it really is making the whole thing kick big time. Great taste and a great long lasting high.
Was a really nice plant to grow, though odd from day 1. Very strange leaf formations from the start and very slow during vegetation but still, very beautiful to look at, kind of weird awesome. The taste and smell are outstanding. Without a doubt a true beauty, this part of the harvest will be smoked alone and secretly, it just really is too good to share😂
Yeah I’m having problems with it or the permanent lowering of it anyway. I’ve managed to keep it between 40-75 most of the time, without management the room rests at between 85 and 90. It’s a combination of the space they’re grown in and the season we are in. As you can probably guess during the summer I had few problems with humidity. Now it’s raining every day and the temperatures have dropped so too have my humidity levels risen, I will get on top of this. Thanks for showing concern and thanks for the encouragement.
@Damonkey, get a dehumidifier , you can get them for pretty cheap and this will save you alot of hassle . If you can get a bigger one that way you don't always have to empty the tank every couple hours but instead do it like once a day :) Still tho your garden looks kick ass bro Keep up the great work !
-Happy Growing!
Yeah man I’ve got one, there was also a space issue, something had to go before something could be added, but now we is fine with dat! 🙄✌️🏻Humidity levels today at 45% and steady. Looking great in there too and all plants starting to get frosty. I’m so impressed with the Gorilla Zkittles, it’s grown very strong and really is covered with oil already, hopefully the buds will swell up and do me real proud on the yield front. Secretly I’ve always wanted the Purp Strawberry to do the best out of this grow, it is doing fine and looks awesome, very crooked and an odd shape from the off, but yeah...... dats the one I really wanna try right now!!!!😳😩😂 The critical Orange Punch is a really fast grower and is piling weight on the buds the fastest I’d say, it’s got a reLly good orange skunky smell to it. Out of all the plants the Orange has the least in the show of trichomes, so far. It is the only plant that’s under its own lamp though. Everything else is grooving under a advanced platinum light. This girl is basking below a California lightworks solar storm 220. Funnily though, one of the zombie kush buds stretches and grows beneath this light and it seems to be more caked up with trichomes than the buds below the p.900. (I’ll try to remember to update on that issue, both lamps are though performing beyond expectations. The zombie Kush plants are both looking healthy and strong, one stronger than the other. The buds are beauties and as frosty as you like, a great kushy smell coming from them as well. The Ted Dragon is another that has just powered ahead, the buds are filling out and growing up very quickly, the fim went really well on this one too and it’s growing with about eight equally sized tops, it’s looking like it should produce a decent yield. The Blue Fire OG is also really racing to put on the weight. A very skunky Hashy smell coming from it too🤤, I don’t really get any of the blueberry from it. The buds are a marvel to look at too, really angular lines on the buds and the way they work around the stalks ahhhh...... pretty. Wow am I babbling? I’m stoned, it’s Christmas Day and all is fine inna mi garden. Anyway if anybody gets through my babble, hope it’s of use to you and it’s given you any info on the strains you might be interested in. Merry Christmas all and keep up da grow. Grow for love not profit.✌️🏻😬✌️🏻
Looks real good in there my friend ! But I think I would lower that RH because it may cause you problems you don't want plus your lined up to have a great harvest I wouldnt wanna see all you're hard work go to waste . Other then that this garden looks rocking and rolling ! Best of luck on you're home stretch !
-Happy Growing!
@Damonkey, so i was like you before and i didnt really believe there was such a thing as too much light... but there is... doesnt mean you shouldnt try, just means that i'll be taking notes on how well you do. even with with 2 m, 50cm lamp to plant distance in veg, then 70cm in flower... but make sure you get a dimmer for seedlings and progressively work your way up... just some free advice for you brother ! 🚀
@CRiSPrGrow, I don’t have the kind of space needed to go up to a thousand, I was looking at the Hellion DE 750 because they say it’ll do fine in a 2m tall tent. My biggest issue is space, it’ll be paired up with an advanced platinum p900 led so there will be a nice overlap where plants will receive both led and hid. I’m on the verge of buying a specific machine and was just wondering if anyone used that particular light set up and if the results they claim possible are true. And if they are actually functioning g well in 2m tents. I think it’s the best for me at the moment and probably will be the one I get. But yeah like you say man I’d love to push it up higher.
hi guys, i use a lux meter to measure the "ideal" height.
because every light is different.
i use led's, one is at 20cm height and the other almost 30cm to reach the same amount of light.
55.000 to 65.000 lux is the amaount of light for flowering.
if a lux meter is to expensive, you can download an app for your smartfone.
it works as well, just not so accurate.
And for heat, when i was using hps, i used a infrared thermometer to measure the heat off my upper leaves. it should be the same as the room temperature.
just saying.
happy growing and good luck.
Look at them big SEXY ASS nuggies man ! Keep up the super work , wishing you the best of luck on you're race to the harvest bro ! You deserve the best for the work you clearly put in :)
-Happy Growing!
Thanks again for advice. But what I’m really asking or thought I was is “are Hellion lighting set ups good quality? My option is Hellion 750 or Gavita 750. Because I can get more info on the Gavita it looks like that’s better to go with that, but the Hellion set up does seem to be an awesome little number too. They are both expensive I just want to place my money wisely. I thought maybe a few people on grow diaries might be using that brand of hid lighting.🤔
Thanks a lot man. I’m really excited about this crop it’s the first grow that’s run entirely under decent lighting. It is looking great in there but it’s reached that stage where you fool yourself that, well that that’s that and what ya got ya got. I’d be happy with it now but can’t wait to see what another three weeks will bring. Fingers crossed I’ve got the humidity under control but at some expense, not only cash wise, the temp has shot up in there a few degrees, however still under control and resting just below 30 degrees C at the hottest parts of the day.
