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

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme

Day 28 - Full watering/feed to run-off 10%-20% at same strength as previous. (50% of maker recommended strength for coco use + cmx + root enhancer + kept extract organic additive) Day 31 - Decided lower lights by around 30cm 120cm to about 90cm. After about 8 hours the plants all suddenty wilted. They stay wilted through the night cycle as well, so I raised the lights back to where they were and they have bounced back, so I won't suddenly drop the lights by as much. If I do lower them it will be incremental. Day 32 - Bought a six fin 800w oil heater for the tent. Am going to place this under the oscillating fan and set it aiming to keep the tent around the 25-27c range. Hopefully this has the tent sorted for the rest of the grow. The humidity has been high lately due to the weather, so this might be about the only factor left to address, and I will look at getting a dehumidifier for the grow room if needed. Day 33 - Full watering to run-off 10%-20% at same strength as previous. (50% of maker recommended strength for coco use + cmx + root enhancer + kept extract organic additive) - Ordered humidity controller for extractor fan. - Ordered Temperature controller for Heater - Ordered IP Camera for remote monitoring Tent is now running fully sealed and using passive inlet and carbon filtered extraction to roof space. Plants are around 20-40cm high and the lights are 85cm above the canopy on full 480w. Day 33 - I have reduced the Light intensity from 480w to 420w. This seemed to really get a good response from the plants. I think as they've grown taller and the light intensity has quietly increased at the newly heightened canopy level the plants have been getting stressed. Day 34 - I've reduced then light intensity from 420w to 280w. I am new to the quantum boards and the concept of "too much light" so working out how much intensity, how much distance and so forth for the different stages of plants growth. I have a gut feeling 280w at 80cm might be a touch under-powered but I'll give it a full light-cycle or two to judge leaf growth and colour and make a call on whether or not to increase it or leave it as is. Day 35 - I found plants wilting during hthe night cycle without fan air circulation. So I've set the oscillating fan to run during night hours. Day 35 - I've turned up the heater a touch to bring the tent temp to around 26c. Infrared gun shows leaf temps to be around 24-25c which ideally I want to get to 27-29c - I'll aim for this metric once the other environmental factors are sorted (ventilation seems sorted so mainly just dialing in the light intensity). * I'm looking forward to setting up the heater on temperature controller, and putting the carbon filter ventilation on humidity control, and then mounting an IP camera in the tent. This should all be here in around 2 weeks. I'm looking forward to being able to view the temp/humidity and see the plants live without having to actually open the grow room. * The infrared temp gun is proving invaluable in testing leaf, coco and pot temperatures around the tent, which is giving a great view of how the heat from the heater/fan arrangement is being distributed - it shows a less than 1-2c degree variance across the tent which is just great. * Hopefully week 6 to come will be one with a lot less wilting incidents and the week that this tent achieves a somewhat final and stable environment optimised for plant growth and happiness. But so far every time I think I've got things perfected, another variable comes into play and I need to tweak something. Maybe by the end of this harvest I will have the whole process refined to a smoother less reactionary process.

🗓️ Week 7 – Flower Week 3 ✅ This week I had to slightly adjust the feeding schedule – I was running at ~75 % of the AN chart, but the leaf tips started showing slight burn. So I’m dialing it back a bit to stay on the safe side 🌱 All plants were lollipopped to shift energy fully into the top sites – and the stretch seems to be done by now. 📏 Final stretch height – Cherry MAC Muffin: 105 cm That puts me right at the upper limit of the tent – the lights are now all the way up, with not much room left 😅

Praying the warm weather holds out until October. I was told this strain take about 60 days in flower before harvest

Day 49 Everything stayed same. They really starting to sink.

in veg to allow humidity to be high I had plants on risers and left water in the bottom tray of tent after feeding. I cleaned the tent and reintroduced drip trays under pot risers and now I shop-vacuum all water out of drip tray to keep rh lower for flower. also increased exhaust from low to high and added a 4 inch booster fan to bottom of tent as intake to draw dry air in. sour 76 #5 (fastest largest grower) was male got pulled out of tent but later eaten by my cats :( rip didnt get any pollen collected

Привет садоводы мой цветок цветет полным ходом последний раз я полил его обильно водой и через пару дней буду поливать ripen есть и небольшые проблемы , сгорают некоторые листики в общем опять красавица выросла , а смола имеет запах острого сладкого цитруса

Woche 3 (4seit Keimung) – Vegetationsphase startet richtig durch Die Mädels sind jetzt offiziell in Woche 4 angekommen und man merkt deutlich, dass sie langsam in die nächste Phase gehen. Das Wachstum hat in den letzten Tagen nochmal spürbar angezogen und die Struktur wird von Tag zu Tag stabiler. Alle Pflanzen stehen aktuell in 15L Töpfen und entwickeln sich insgesamt sehr gleichmäßig, auch wenn man langsam erste Unterschiede zwischen den Strains erkennt. ⸻ Pflanzenentwicklung Die meisten Pflanzen zeigen jetzt eine schöne, kompakte Struktur mit kurzen Internodien und kräftigen Stämmen. Besonders die GMO bleibt schön gedrungen, während z. B. Blueberry und teilweise Runtz etwas mehr nach oben wollen. Die Blätter sind satt grün und vital, das neue Wachstum ist teilweise etwas heller, was aber bei dem Tempo absolut normal ist. Insgesamt wirken alle Pflanzen gesund und stressfrei. ⸻ Licht & Setup Die Lampe wird weiterhin schrittweise erhöht (aktuell moderat gefahren), was sich positiv auf den Wuchs auswirkt. Kein Stretch, keine Anzeichen von Lichtstress – genau so soll’s sein. Momentan steht die SF3000 bei 50% Leistung mit einem Abstand von 45-50cm. Der Abstand passt aktuell gut, ich werde die Intensität weiterhin in kleinen Schritten steigern. ⸻ Klima Die Bedingungen sind aktuell ziemlich stabil: • Temperatur: ~20–23°C • Luftfeuchtigkeit: ~60–65% • VPD: ~0.9 kPa Damit liege ich ziemlich genau im optimalen Bereich für die Vegi. ⸻ Gießen Gegossen wird weiterhin kontrolliert im äußeren Ring, um die Wurzeln nach außen zu ziehen. Die Bodenfeuchte liegt aktuell bei ~34%, was sich als sehr guter Wert herausgestellt hat. Man merkt jetzt schon, dass der Wasserverbrauch langsam anzieht. Liege jetzt bei 500ml jeden 3. Tag. ⸻ Nährstoffe Aktuell läuft noch alles über die vorgedüngte Erde. Da jetzt Woche 4 gestartet ist, werde ich in den nächsten Tagen anfangen, den Green House Bio Bloom vorsichtig einzuarbeiten, damit die Nährstoffe rechtzeitig verfügbar sind, wenn die Vorblüte einsetzt. ⸻ Ausblick In den nächsten Tagen wird sich entscheiden, wie stark ich eingreife. Leichtes LST ist geplant – vor allem bei den etwas streckfreudigeren Pflanzen, um ein gleichmäßiges Canopy zu bekommen. Ansonsten gilt weiterhin: beobachten, reagieren, nicht übertreiben. ⸻ Fazit Ich bin aktuell echt zufrieden mit dem Stand. Die Pflanzen sehen gesund aus, das Setup läuft stabil und alles entwickelt sich genau in die Richtung, die ich mir vorgestellt habe. Vielen Dank fürs reinschauen meine growmis, Updates folgen 🏻

This week is going pretty good too! the bugs seem to be swelling up a little more and getting a little more sugary. I added in a video of another one of my purple punch plants (the one with he purple nugs growing)

A beautiful orange smell !!! 🍊🍊🍊🍊

7/27/2023- Prep Tent and system are cleaned and ready to go from my last grow. I have submitted my Journa for the Diary of the Month Competition here is to hopeing for good resutls. 7/28/2023- Germination Day 0- Seed initiation Well lets get this new Grow started.. So My Dad Sent me a custom Strain that he wanted me to grow out and Breed for him. The Strain is Called Red Rhino: Red Rhino is an amazing strain coming from Israel and boasts a 60% Sativa and a 40% Indica. This strian comes from crossing double gum and master kush. Effects are an increased appetite, as well as giving you ephoric feelings throughout the whole day. RO Water Used Added Hydrogen Peroxided 8/1/2023- Germination Achieved G-Day 1 Popped her head above the root riot today to say hello.. Woot first challenge when dealing with an unknown seed and a new Strain is getting the seed to pop and the lady to show life. 8/2/2023- Germination Day 2 Took the root riot out today and it was soaked not good plant drowing again. I am still having a hard time finding the right blance for where the water should be to keep the root riot moist and not soaked. I had to drain some of the water out of the root riot plug to help give a little oxygen. I also removed some of the water. 8/3/2023- Germination Day 3 Looking good stretching her leaves out to let in the lights 8/4/2023- Germination Day 4 Looking good a few days until I put them into the RDWC System and get this thing rocking and rolling. 8/5/2023- Germinaiton Day 5 Looking good will probably plant tomorrow if the roots are still looking good. 8/6/2023- Plant Day- Germination Day 6 Planted into the RDWC System today. Joy when they go into the system as long as we dial that in right this will now be a great grow.. Survived the hard part.. 8/7/2023- Germination Day 7 Fell over today I am worried.., she is showing some damage on the lower leaves from the over watering in the cloning machine but right now I don't see any new damage. Supported the Stems with little improvised pole to help her stand up. 8/8/2023- Germination Day 8 Added the first Nutes today, to help support root growth and to help give there first jump to growth. TPS SILICA GOLD-.5mil/Gal Root Drip- 1mil/Gal GH FLoraMicro-1mil/Gal GH FlroaGro-1mil/Gal GH FLroaBloom-1Mil/Gal ORCA-.5mil/Gal 8/9/2023 - Germination Day 9 Everything is looking good new growth looks like it is praying and they are looking happy. I will take off the damage leaves probably tomorrow. 8/10/2023- Germination Day 10 Everything is looking good looks like she is recoving well, with just a little bit of a delay. Cleaned up the dead leaves... Day 1 VEG tomorrow.. Water Change Day and first real meal...
