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.

Its been a typical seedling week, we noticed spots developing in a few places so we gave them all a mild nutrient solution and expect this to clear up...we decided on the 3 plants we're keeping for the grow, all but 1 seedling are of equal size, the standout is slightly underdeveloped (this could be our heavy hands)..
the 3 Kiss plants will go into 5gal pots this weekend to join 3 White Dominas (also by Kannabia) in the 4x4 under the MarsHydro FC-E6500 ❤️💡🌱
Happy harvests everyone!!

Week 15 going good…not bad …switching to bloom nutrient… and did a ton of defoliating to loosen up the canopy hopefully they won’t grow too much when I flip them to 1212 in a week I’ve seen these plants three times the size. Hopefully I can stunt that growth during the initial stretch by switching to Bloom nutrients early. Defoliating a week before flipping. I may decide to top them more but I probably won Do I have to type here for it to be green this is crazy. I’ve done more than a paragraph now at this point it’s kind of weird that it’s not green be green what the hell can it still not be green

Not much to say, we officially have take off. Leaf tucking and LST to expose the bud sites, trying not to take anything off if I can help it. These autos don't cope with much, glad I have my photoperiods in there. Can't wait to see some pretty flowers ;)
Day 42- one of the Stardawg girls has had a huge growth spurt. Added in a 400 watt side light to fatten up any lower buds. 660Watt Hps over the top. Considering adding CO2 and investing in another light.. Maybe LED. Thoughts?

Day 50
Friday 17/05/24
I attempted to try mainline her, failed 😅
But I think I'm learning the fundamentals of this method.
She seems to have exploded since I did it. The tops seem to have a surge of energy.
Seeing sex all over plant now😁 female first tell signs are awesome to see 😍
Feed today.
Day 52
Day 9 Flower
19/05/24 - Sunday.
Water today with calmag- Finally seeing her slap them female pistils out, and turn a nice vibrant green on her tops indicating the pre flower/flower stage.
Since trying the mainlining and lollipopping, she really has thrown out awesome new growth development.
Continually pulling tops back down via lst to encourage an even canopy.
Day 56
Day 13 flower
23/05/24
Light water with calmag
Wow, this one loves pre flower stress. Her stretch is starting, I've stopped plucking and snipping till required now.
The tops are throwing so many bud sites out it's incredible.

Vamos familia, actualizamos la sexta semana de vida de estas Runtz Punch de Herbies.
La temperatura que estuvo entre los 24-26 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos.
Todavía estamos en el ciclo 16 horas luz, 8 oscuridad, estiraron bien y ensancharon bastante también, el color es verde sano.
Se nota que los nutrientes de la marca Agrobeta hacen sus funciones.
También realicé una poda de bajos que yo si las veo necesarias para explotar después la flor.
- os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida ,descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO.

It was finally time to harvest her, what good times we had with her. Amazed with how beautiful this plant is, how easy to manage and train and how rewarding Orange Hill Special is.
So we said our thanks and goodbye, thanked her for all the joy she gave while growing her. I realize more and more how I love growing them even more than the end-product.
It takes my mind of all going on for a while, in my miniature jungle world in the attic.
Im sure all of you just sometimes sit there and watch them, in wonder, dreaming away with a good buzz on, watching them wave in the wind of the fans.
So with a heavy hart I apologize, play them their last music, sit with them and feel them and smell them, watch the glistening of the cristals.
In the end we had 209 gram dried Orange Hill Special, I will know the total of the grow, in a few days, since the final big whopper still has to dry: my XtraKush, be sure to check the harvest of that one *in couple of days) and see a one-dollar seed outperform two 10 dollar seeds.
I probably go over 500 grams for the total grow, which would be 1.6 grams per watt. Big success!
Consider an SP-3000 for your next light, you won't be disappointed! Check www.mars-hydro.com for the latest discounts!
Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting us try out your light, it made this successful grow possible!
Greetings and all the best! Thank you to our friends here, our followers and the whole Growing Diaries community for just being there.
Big Hug,
Sunshine and BioBuds

Day 1
Success! Both seeds germinated after 4 days although considering how tall they already are (2,5 cm / 1 inch) I guess they popped out of the soil yesterday already but I didn't check on them until today. Both seedlings had a piece of the seed shell still attached so I used a qtip and gently removed those shells. Overall humidity in the tent is low but I'm not overly concerned considering the humidity domes, which help to increase the humidity around each seedling.
Day 2
Not much to report except that each plant grew 2 cm since yesterday.
Day 3
Each plant added another cm of growth. The Blumat Digitals showed that the soil moisture was still in a good range (100-120 mbar) but the topsoil was a bit dry so I sprayed each plant with 1 liter of water (pH 6.5).
Day 4
No noticeable vertical growth in either plant but the leaves are getting bigger.
Day 5
Leaves are getting larger and another half centimeter of vertical growth.
Day 6
Each plant added another half cm of growth. The Blumat Digitals showed that the soil moisture was still in a good range (102-115 mbar) but the topsoil was a bit dry so I sprayed each plant with 1 liter of water (pH 6.5).
Day 7
Some additional growth, both vertically and leaf size.

So this is purple punch from #fastbuds. I started a very early batch for outdoors to see if anything managed to survive to extend/add the outdoor growing cycle, out of 4 seeds only this purple punch managed to survive 3° nights during veg🤗 as small as she is she has a very nice structure and expresses great purple colour on both the leavestems as the buds. Harvesting in may is definetely my earliest ever outdoors

Added a photo to show where I take RH/Temp measurements from in the tent, pretty much inside the canopy.
Went lower on EC this week to give the plant a little time to regenerate and pack some more before harvest.
The dehumidifier is pulling less and less moisture out of the air every day, this is a additional sign to me that the plant is nearing its end.
Not quite sure when to harvest, maybe next week or the week after, the plant isn't really stacking, it is frosty but I am missing the quantity, the pictures are kinda deceiving.

Week 3
By week three, the plant begins to show a clearer structure. Leaf size increases slightly, and the stem thickens just enough to support the growing foliage. Internodal spacing remains tight, reinforcing its compact growth pattern. The plant still lags behind others in height and spread, but its overall appearance remains healthy and controlled. There are no visual deficiencies, and growth continues steadily, if modestly.

So fat banana finally got the chop. Started off well then had an influx of heat around mid flower, not a major problem as I dealt with it, just could have gone smoother. She flew through veg with no problems or complaints whatsoever. She was resilient and would grow her again. She smells so loud, covered in frost.. I have a few more pictures of the chop to upload but will do it in a little while. Such a unique scent from her, definitely tropical and banana peel type of aroma and taste(from test smoke). Been a pleasure to grow and can honestly say its some tasty smoke. Will do a proper smoke report after this batch has dried and then cured. Thanks for tuning in! Will be back -FlavoursUk
