Alright boy-o!!! let's flip the script and do some growing, put what I can out here and see what we get. One thing is for sure...
Screw 12/12 from seed its not useful for me and I'm tired of the waste.
Oh, and ApPAreNtLy if you don't prove grow skills as a new grower, people get butt hurt and it only goes downhill from there... so here we go this tents about to get full.
Cheers!
Thank you @marshydroeleen for the light and let's see what this light can do.
That said, Let's talk set up.
My 3x3 is powered by the MarsHydro TS1000 and is being cooled via air recirculation. This is achieved with my 4" ipower inline fan.
Humidity isn't an issue for me by nature of climate. My tent temperatures are easily controlled simply by stopping air recirculation. It is dried out simply by restarting the fan. This is in pat due to running the driver external of the tent to provide a few degrees less in the tent. Humidity is increased by stoppage and this also increases the Temps very slightly until at about 78f.
Now all of this would normally be a chore to keep track of, however my yardsale score ($80) included a Titan Controls Saturn 6 with the photocell addition makes this as easy as plugging it in.
Now, if that score wasn't sweet enough it also included the co2 tank and valve to boot. This is currently set up and plumbed in the top of the tent. This won't be plugged in and operating until the first week of flower. Until then it's ready to go.
I filled my sub irrigated 3.5gal planters with SUNSHINE company mix#4 with mycorrhizae and watered with 1/3gal of water from the tap. The transplant went smoothly and we will start watching this lady turn things back around. This will be a good show of what the strain has to offer.
After a good thorough cleaning the tent is set and the ladies are in. There will be new ladies joining the tent in a few weeks but for now these ladies return to veg in peace.
I hope to turn this nightmare of a run into a sponsorship worthy run. So cheers to the new challenge and let's get growing.

Week 8
Here came fall.
End of last week plant seemed hungry, the fade wasn't progressing as supposed so I gave her two nutes round with only water round in between them.
I used bottled feeding: biobizz biobloom + top max (2ml each per liter), ghe ripen (2ml per liter), solved micronutrients and calmag (not mixed, one time one the next the other, 1-0,5 ml per lt).
Solution EC was about 1,4, starting with 0,3 tap water.
She reacted well to the feeding in my opinion. now the fade is progressing more naturally.
I did observe that the plant under the less powerful COBS in the same tent are doing better then the ones under the sp250 wich has a higher par output, so I raised the light to 45-50cm from canopy. This had a positive effect on the plants imho. I'll stay a little bit further from the beginning in my next grow.
I took a sample under the microscope to take some tricho pictures, they look beautifully clouded but the buds still has to ripen some 50% more. Based on that I think we are arriving to an end in 10-15 days max.
Happy bottanic guys

Watering Challenges:
Due to high humidity, the soil took an entire week to dry out.
Overwatering last week slowed water uptake but was mitigated by maintaining a higher nutrient level, preventing deficiencies.
Nutrient Status:
Signs of nutrient burn have not worsened.
The plant is now showing early signs of hunger, with lighter zones forming on the leaves.
Growth Observations:
The plant responded well to topping, rapidly producing longer side branches.
Growth remains vigorous, with a well-developed structure.
Next Steps:
Transplanting and watering are planned for early next week to support the plant's increasing nutrient demands.
Summary:
Week 4 revealed a learning curve in managing high humidity, but the plant's resilience and strong growth highlight its adaptability. Topping was highly effective, and the plant is thriving.

Run-off got pretty high on the plants in the main tent when I tested it this week (2300ppm) so I flushed the plants down to around 900 over a few water events with half-strength nutes (~450). I think this, plus (mainly) the plants being too close to the LED caused them to throw some foxtails - particularly the middle plant (although I still think that spindly shit is also partly due to the bag seed pheno). Noob mistake on my end and I didn't realize until it was too late. Now the light is turned down and the run-off is back in a good range. It got high because my auto-watering halos were mostly running off the pots and not sinking in - this is because I filled the pots to the brim with coco (another noob mistake). Looks like I'm hand watering until harvest :)
Big Mumma in the blurple tent on the other hand is still killing it..
Apologies for having to upload videos of the microscope - too hard to hold it still and press the button for photos lol.

More Big changes this week! The flowers seem to be growing and getting bigger every day - I anxiously look in my tent each morning to see the new developments and there seems to be new changes each time - very cool to smoke a bowl in the morning and go check your garden! I was able to get some pretty cool photos with my macro lens - I found the ONLY flower site and first signs of red colors on one of the lower flowers of Cherry Gorilla #3 - I was able to get some pretty sweet pics of that. If you have a smart phone or tablet, definitely check out some of the macro shots and pinch/zoom in! I did add a fan on the bottom blowing underneath the canopy, in efforts of opening up the stomata of the ladies. We are finally having our first relatively hot week up here and it has absolutely tested my environment management skills - AC, Dehumidifier, Fans, Window open and close - this silly temp VPD and humidity control dance all day will not be too much longer, very much looking forward to the lower temperatures of the fall and winter months!
When opening up the tent - you are blasted with a unfamiliar smell that can be explained as a sweet dank. I have touched some of the lower buds on each of the plants and WOW! - They are SWEET and Cherry flavor like crazy - The GMO is just as I expected - Garlic Gas Sweetness when touching her leaves - You are left with a very sticky goo on your finger that absolutely smells of its particular strain. Again - I could not be happier with the garden, and especially this being my first grow ever. Looking forward to more changes and absolutely some input from the Grow Diaries Community!

Such Bittersweet Joy
Added this week as ‘Flowering’ although technically should be harvested as I but I haven’t had a chance to weigh or anything. I will do that next week once trimmed etc.
So finally cut them down on D89, it was a beautiful day outside and it just felt right.
Although when it came to the deed itself I felt sadder than I thought I would for my girls and the time we had together.
All 6 (I’m growing another 3 different strains but not included on this diary) are now hanging to dry in the tent. Temp -18 C; Humidity-60% seems to be holding steady with no tinkering thankfully.
After the 3 days they have all dried noticeably, perhaps 4/5 more before trimming / curing.
I’ve had quite a close look at most of the harvest and as far as this noob can tell, there doesn’t seem to be any issues with mould / bud rot. Fingers remain crossed.
I did have one very profound moment this week... It happened as I was surveying the harvest hanging up for the first time.
I could feel my mindset change suddenly from the constant paranoia over their health and overcoming my impatience to “I actually have a crap load of weed”.
It was beautiful beautiful moment...
Thanks for reading. Have a great week 😊

My permanent marker plants are looking really interesting! The short and stocky one with the purple leaves is super vibrant. I love that pop of color against the green of the other plants. It's a little different from the taller plant, which has this really cool stacked-up look to it. I'm curious to see if those stacked-up leaves will change color too.
The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

2 more weeks of feeding then flush. Stacking well and could finish faster then I'm anticipating.
