YEAR 1
--------
Everything began in August 2018, with a 40ร40ร120 tent, one CFL Wings 125 (50 real watts), and 3-liter pots. ๐
The very first seeds I ever grew were Cheesy Auto from Philosophers Seeds. Two plants which, in 11 weeks, gave meโฆ 11 grams.
After that, I doubled down: same conditions, but with 2 Sweet Skunk from RQS. Also 11 weeks. Also 11 grams.
In the second half of the year, I clearly understood that space and light are essential; after two harvests like that, no wonderโฆ Still, I stayed modest: a 60ร60ร180 tent and a 65w Chinese pink LED.
I tried 4 Cheesy Auto from Philosophers Seeds again; result: 34 grams from the 4 plants in 13 weeks. A small, very small improvement๐ (see photo)
End of the first year: a (very) mixed result.
56 grams from 8 plants. Thatโs 7g/plant.
YEAR 2
--------
The second year was marked by switching to 7-liter pots, and buying a second identical Chinese LED, for a total of 130w, plus a 120ร60ร180 tent.
14 plants grown to completion: Quick One (see photo), Royal Dwarf, Northern Lights and Caramel from RQS and Zamnesia. Result: 225g for the year. 16g/plant. Better, but still far from good. ๐
YEAR 3
--------
The third year, I tried to maximize yields with the equipment I had. I still moved up to 11-liter pots and grew 19 plants: Kalini Asia, Royal Gorilla, White Widow, AK420, Diesel, Amnesia, Couskush and Bubble Kush from RQS and Zamnesia. Result: 361 grams for the year, 19g/plant; progress, but still not enough.
At the end of the year, I bought 2 MarsHydro TS600. My first โrealโ lightsโฆ
The fourth year marks my arrival on GrowDiariesโฆ ๐

YEAR 4
--------
The 4th year starts with 1 Fat Banana from RQS and 1 Amnesia from Zamnesia, which together produced 84g; 42g per plant, it felt like a revelation at the time ๐
After that, I figured Iโd pack the tent with 3 Hulkberry from RQS and 3 Monster Dwarf from Zamnesia, which gave me 165g from the 6 plants; a small ratio, but it was the first time I harvested more than 100gโฆ
Mid-season. Thatโs when I signed up on GrowDiaries ๐
In January, I started 3 OG Kush from RQS, my first photoperiods, followed in March by 4 Royal Cookies, also from RQS. (see photos)
It's also my first award on GD: 5th place in the DOTW ๐
Total for this 4th year: 390g from 15 plants, which is 26g per plant.
In 4 years, I barely passed the one-kilo mark.
The fifth year would be the year of change ๐

YEAR 5 - 1st quarter
----------------------
The 5th season begins with the same setup.
The novelty of this season is the substrate: from this point on, all my indoor grows will be done in coco coir.
Five Northern Lights plants, 2 from RQS indoor and 3 from Zamnesia outdoor, take up the first quarter.
With 5 plants, they will produce 212 g.
For the first time, one of them alone exceeds 100 g.
Second award on GD: 9th place in the DOTW ๐

YEAR 5 - 2nd quarter
-----------------------
The 5th season continues with 3 Gorilla Punch from FB and 3 Original XXL from GB in the same tent.
A disappointment: with 6 plants, they yield 179 g, less than the previous 5. But in only 10 weeks.
Green Brand did better than Fastbuds for a first try.
During these first two quarters, I won MOTM, 2nd and 3rd place ๐

YEAR 5 - 3rd quarter
-----------------------
In the 3rd quarter, I start 3 Strawberry Banana from FB and 1 Royal AK from RQS.
But I allow myself a small upgrade: I replace the two TS 600 (100 W) with two TS 1000 (150 W).
The four plants give me 247 g, my best harvest so far,
With an average of 62 g per plant.
I also made a bit of bubble hash ๐

YEAR 5 - 4th quarter
-----------------------
To finish the season, I start 3 Mandarine XL and 3 Strawberry Cake from Ganja Farmer.
194 g from the 6 plants. A humble end to the season.
This 5th year ends with a total of 841 g from 21 plants, an average of 40 g per plant : twice as much as the previous year.
Over these 5 years, 77 plants grown from 24 different strains, for a total of 1,873 g.
And thatโs when I take a 2-year break for a job in Africa, hoping to come back strong soon ๐

YEAR 6 - 1st quarter
----------------------
Back from Africa in August 2025, Iโm getting back to work ๐
This time, no hesitation about the setup : Iโm going big: a 120ร120ร180 tent with my two TS1000s, plus two FCevo1500s, for a total of 600 W over 1.44 mยฒ. Thatโs finally a decent setup for home use ๐
Iโm starting this new season with some Fastbuds: 5 White Widows in 15-liter pots and 1 Banana Purple Punch in an 8-liter pot.
The 5 White Widows produced 558 g : a new record by far! ๐
Shows that nothing matters more than light
.
I was quite active on the forum, happy as I was to reconnect with the community after 2 years;
so a little reward: 3rd place in the GOTW for a first participation ๐
.
One week before Christmas, the result for the Banana Purple Punch comes in: 102 g dry, an unexpected yield for an auto in an 8-liter pot!
By combining the six plants that shared the same space and the same conditions, this gives:
660g dry yield
110g/plant
458g/mยฒ
1.1g/W
.
I took 85 g from my White Widow and 25 g from my Banana Purple Punch, frozen along with about fifty grams of leaves.
The result for this third bubble hash run: 12.85 g, i.e. 8% of the material used.
The first time I reached 3.0%, the second time 7.1% ; with this 8.0% Iโm making progress, but I havenโt reached the 10% goal yet...
Iโll keep working on it ๐
@UnorthadoxDude, thx ๐ Iโve just finished a nice White Widow run; I also have one week left to finish my Banana Purple Punch, and Iโve just started 5 Triple G ๐
