Dane, We all should help one another. Human beings are like that. We should live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another, share the Joint. And mother earth is rich and can provide for everyone. We can Grow enough Happiness, In this paradise, there is room for everyone. We only exist to bring joy into the world and The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Grow High and Give the world A smile. At the end we own nothing more then all our memories, lets make them amazing for everyone, nothing to loose only everything to win. A last kiss goodby, a second one, softer and long as a sign, that you are woth it. That Everyone worth who loved and give. Enought Hippie Talk, now have a nice day and an even better grow, thx for watching by. the buds looking soooooooo good already.

At the end of Week 4 (vegetation) the plants stretched and got some height. I still can not assess if they are doing normal, good or great :) I am starting bending the branches in a special way using the holes in the circle of the pot and gardening rope. The left and central plants are definitely ready for this.

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

As you can see the xs2000 from viparspectra builds some fat dense buds. They are full of plump milky trichomes. They are being flushed with ro water and will get chopped soon.

Welcome to Week 16, where our Lego Ninja Tropical Tangie is truly proving her resilience. Despite some hot temperatures, she's standing tall like a champion, although her leaves have seen a bit of scorching. But, what's truly mesmerizing is her incredible fruit development. These beauties are laden with trichomes, glistening like stars in the night sky. They are a testament to her excellent genetics and your dedicated care. In terms of adjustments, I've made a wise decision to stop the extra phosphorus (P) and instead introduced Aptus Fluvic Blast to my feeding regimen. This change isn't just about her current growth, it's also about planning for the future. The Fluvic Blast enriches the soil and enhances its microbial activity, which will be invaluable when you decide to reuse this soil in the future. It's all about long-term sustainability and health. As always, the sharing of medicine continues. It's a bond that grows stronger with each passing week, connecting not only you and your Tangie but also your ever-watchful guardians, the Lego Ninjas. A special shout-out to Dutch Passion for these fantastic genetics, Aptus Holland for their unwavering support, and Grow Diaries for providing the platform that allows you to share this incredible journey with the community. Week 16 has been a testament to the rewards of perseverance and patience. As we look ahead, the promise of more trichome-covered buds and the continued growth of your girls and guardians is an exciting prospect. Stay tuned for Week 17, as we delve even deeper into this remarkable journey. Until next time, fellow gardeners and enthusiasts! #TropicalTangie #Week16 #Resilience #TrichomeMagic #AptusHolland #DutchPassion #LegoNinjas #GrowDiariesCommunity" As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life<3 <3 <3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience With true love comes happiness <3 <3 <3 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so <3 <3 <3 Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only <3 <3 <3 Growers Love To you All <3 <3 <3 P.S- I must extend my sincerest apologies for the missing video reports.

Eventful yet easy week. After putting eVE into flower mode she began to grow again very fast. I have tried to keep humidity in the high 40's and have done random CO2 enrichment. The roots have been doing well so far after the pruning two weeks ago. Would like to see the branches get thicker. The first pistil showed up today and made me happy that it came up so fast.

Русские убийцы сбросили сегодня ещё 4 ракеты на мой город, также ударили дроном камикадзе Шахед. 13 часов нет света, воды, тепла.... Пострадали мирные люди. Я удалю эту запись вечером, просто хотел поделиться как это жутко когда целый день работает воздушная тривога...... 🇺🇦💪 Им не победить, нас не напугать! Добро побеждает зло!!! У меня нет сил описать эту неделю..... Холодно, свет включают 2 раза в день по 2 часа. Мой телефон разряжен, я устал и замёрз......

This week I transplanted them into their final homes, 2 liter mountain dew bottles. I cut tiny holes 2" up from the bottom to create a reservoir. My plan is to fill a 2x2 tent with these 2liters. Next week I flip to 12/12. Plants are barely 6-7".

La semana va bien, pocos cambios, e notado que han crecido mucho. Esta semana será el pico de nutrientes para después empezar a bajarlos. Están consumiendo más agua que nutrientes, el EC hace 3 días permanece estable, pero consumen casi 8 litros en 3 días.

2019.01.05 - ShishkaBerry Clones Day 97 / Flowering Day 45. Looks like about 2-3 weeks to to go AND THEY SMELL AMAZING! I had a brush with nutrient burn a few days ago but they're recovering nicely. These are very hardy plants, very strong and healthy. Most of the colas are about 15 inches (38 cm) tall, but #5 is 23 inches (58 cm) and it's on the verge of falling over due to the weight (YAY!!) Some of the pistils are starting to brown & I've given them their final haircut. As this is my first "real" grow, I'm not sure how to estimate what the final yield may be but I'm hoping for 50 grams per plant per the clone producer. 2019.01.09 - ShishkaBerry Clones Day 101 / Flowering Day 49 (video) - two of them are top heavy to the point I've rigged a little cord around the stalks and Velcro-anchored them to the wall. I find that the trichomes of this strain are much smaller than the unknown bagseed I last grew. Do they naturally vary by strains or have I done something wrong?

Ok so today is day 9 and I have had a change of plans for the grow and have lost 4 of the 9 papaya cookie seedlings.Probably just a stroke of bad luck but I must move forward.I have 5 papaya cookies,1 gelato auto and 3 mystery photos from fast buds mix pack in the tent that will flourish after the autos finish.Just plain water every few days is the plan and recharge once every 10 days.SE7000 is raised to the ceiling of my 5x5 80 inch high tent set at 30 percent power.
