FredM This time I try a SoG in a 60cmx60cm (2’x2’) box.
I was very happy with Biotabs last session (2 plants, Blue Gorilla + Blue Haze, both photoperiod: got 30g & 45g), very easy to manage, no ph measurement, just added Aptus Regulator at start and Aptus TopBoost when flowering.
My lamp is Bestva ‘1200w’ - but 250w from the wall..!

Watering system is Autopot - very convenient.
Soil is 40% lightmix + 40% coco + 20% lombricompost
I started the seeds with BAC XSeeds, and got 100% germination from 8 seeds! (The 4 other ones got to friends...)

FredM Growing really fast now, with thick leaves!
I can see the change every days...!
Keep on with Aptus Regulator only, no PH measurement... easy.
I put some Aptus Dislike in case of some bugs visit.
There is still some alga on the top of the ground... i wait a little as soil should be in the shadow very soon....
Keep you updated!
Edit: OMG! The Cheese XXL was on the side this morning! I guess that too high humidity made the soil wet on surface and the stem started to rot..!
I cut the watering system for now to dry the soil a little... before i had 2plants and no problem, seems that 4 pots needs better extraction.... The cheese seems alive still.

FredM Big flo strech! I had to LST one of the BlueDream. The AutoMaria keep low.
The CheseXXL is in reanimation out of the box...
I filled the pot with coco, and started to add some Aptus TopBooster. It help a lot last time.
Excepted this problem with humidity, probably because of 4 autopots in a small space, plants seem to enjoy now...

FredM Everyboby is going fine, all the buds are growing, wih a little help pf Aptus Topbooster.
The two Blue Dream Auto are quite tall after the big flo stretch, the AutoMaria found her place.
I thought the Cheese xxl was dead, but finally is back in a DWC. She has a small flower... cute.
I remove some bottom leaves sometimes, or some big ones that hide the buds from light. Don’t seem to stress them.

FredM Almost there! Buds got darker, milky trichromes... i watch them like milk on fire. As there are mostly sativas, I will harvest soon, probably in the next days, when first amber trichromes show up.
I stopped extra booster nutes. Water only.
Easy to grow, not too tall, big leaves that i removed while buds appeared. Nice babies :)

FredM Great plant, easy to grow, the idea was a SoG but finally i LSTed them like i did before....
Nice smelling, first vap gave me great sensation - uplifting though relaxed body after a while. I recommand!
the algae on the surface should not be here, the soil remains too wet I think
what is your air exchange system? may not be powerful enough?
anyway the plants have grown well and they are beautiful 👌
@Herbalize, I will check that.. I see that on the picture too! Tent is 60x60x200cm with axial extractor like this:
http://www.lorvert-paris.com/growshop-hydroponique-culture-indoor/ventilation-extracteur-air/extracteur-air-axial-S-P/extracteur-air-axial-gaine-dospel/1070.html
It should be enough... 😕
Edit: humidity was 66%... something wrong here! I will fix that. Thx to tell me!
Edit2: This morning humidity was 35%. I guess humidity rises a lot when light and fans are shut down for 'night' period...
You can put some rooting gel/hormones on that wounded stem and recover with soil, I can see you still got some space in that pot to fill it up at maximum. She will need less longer to make new roots from the wound than healing herself to build a knot.
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, yesterday night the plant already got her leaves down... the water column is cut I think.
I cut and put the plant in a DWS i'm testing for cooking herbs... i add some rootbooster too. Wait and see. Thank for advice.
Just a little tip , if you plant 3/4 of the way up , when the stem stretching, you can put a little more soil in to support the stem so it doesn't fall over + you get added root growth 👍
@FredM,
"it’s more simple to manage with organic soil and autopot"
yes and if you take care of it you have the opportunity to make beautiful little monsters 👊😛
@Herbalize, I found that it’s more simple to manage with organic soil and autopot.. after setting, i will add nutrients after 1 month... the system is like auto-regulated by bacteria and mycelium. I plan to add some top booster on the end though.
@FredM,
you can do much better than me, I made a lot of mistake.
too much water and not enough nitrogen during the stretch
I would follow your diary, have fun ! 💪👊
Hello does this grow have our auto blue dream as in the title?
You look to be off to s great start and 10p% germination is always a great way to start a grow
Good luck from HSO
Kind regards
Mark..
Good job I love the information being shared keep up the good work also look into a product called gnat Nix it can be used on top of your soil and I find it has many benefits including it will stop your algae growth as there will be no more light for it.
@Bigpun,thx for the advice! Soil is quite humid, so next step would be gnats... I put some Aptus Dislike to repeal insects. Last time I got red mites invasion! Pretty annoying...
Hi mate, the plants are looking so great, congratulations. I have a small problem, I took the plants to the flowering period. Its been almost 3 weeks but the buds are so small nearly they cannot be seen. Its my first planting, so if you look at my diary and give me advices, I would be so thankfull. Best regards, and good harvest. 🙂
Hello! Well o don’t the strain and the nutriments, but they look healthy. Probably the topping slowed then. I had a outdoor plan this summer that really took her time. I don’t even know how many weeks.
Mine are auto, so quicker for sure.
Be patient, they will make buds for sure!
Keep in touch!
Nice to see another HSO adventure harvested on the grow diary platform.
For just 10 weeks seed to harvest she grew really well and stacked on some serious weight and trichome production at harvest time.
Really please for you and enjoy that end product.
Kind regards
HSO-Mark..
