Hey Guys, so I have ran into some difficulties regarding our power supplier. Due to the current situation we are facing in South Africa the power company "Eskom" does not have ample supply to provide constant electricity to our country anymore. This is very sad. So they implement a system called "loadshedding" where the cut off power supply in certain suburbs at certain times. This has got me in a complete and utter flat spin as I'm not always at home when this happens. The past 2 weeks have been immensely rough as we we're scheduled for outages 3 times a day for 2,5 hour intervals. Between 02:00AM - 06:30 my tent's power went off (depending on scheduled time). This has in fact caused some VPD problems ( I tried getting up every night, but I still have to get enough sleep for work ). As you can imagine, it sucks BIG TIME. I've done my best to keep at par & doctored where I could. *Decreased Light Intensity (600W) *Decreased Wind Velocity on canopy Almost approaching the start of week 3. Feeding schedule from 3 day interval - 2 day interval ( 2L per feed ) Selective defoliation to get light on lower tops. Used some garden wire to support 2 main colas which we're too high. Note: Pest/Mould check done. Foliar sprayed with H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) @ coolest part of day - Next day applied high alkalinity ph'd water to kill mildew spores - Fan heater running from 03:30AM - 06:00AM, pulsing/regulating temp at 19-21°C [ until light comes on ] Grow Logging Light Distance From Canopy = 65cm Substrate Temp = 16 C Substrate PH = 6.0 Normal - Moist Level 79cm = Scrog Net Height 95cm = Tree Height PPFD = 20.1 C = Tent 45% RH

The week went very well, the plant stretched for an additional 15cm and is now showing the first proper bud-sites. Had to change the nutrient solution after day 5, as the tank was almost empty. I increased the nutrients to a 1000 ppm, which caused a tiny amount of tip burn, so will not be increasing it next week. The second scrog net helps greatly spreading out the canopy, I will continue with a very light LST during the flower as well to guarantee maximum light exposure for all bud-sites. I am enjoying this grow very much, first time in a while for me to grow photos inside and I think I will continue growing photos, it seems they are a bit more forgiving and I feel that I can take the time to really let them fill the tent. On my previous grows I usually had 3 autos in there, which would always lead to issue in regards to some plants growing quicker than others. I have a very optimistic outlook in regards to harvest, which I will keep yo myself in order to not jinx it, but as you can see it looks promising. Thanks for reading. Until next week :)

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 💚🌱 We proud to present the second Strain from Good Times Genetics! Die Wuchsform der Pflanzen wirkt bis jetzt sehr homogen, es ist zu beachten, dass natürlich die einen etwas schneller wachsen, wie die anderen. Auch die Stielbreite unterscheidet sich etwas. Insgesamt wirken die Jungpflanzen allerdings sehr kompakt, was eine gewisse Indica Dominanz vermuten lässt. Das ist auch so gewollt. Ich werde immer wieder verschiedene Pflanzen der gleichen Zucht dokumentieren und nach der Geschlechtsbestimmung dann Herausfiltern, welche zwei Pflanzen für die Fertigstellung des Diaries in Frage kommen. Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growzelt sind weiterhin am Optimum und Stabil: ——————— 🌞 Temp: 23°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 58% VPD: 0,86 kPa 😎PPFD: 330 mqm ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

Here we go! about 6 weeks into flowering. I just moved to a new place, new Balcony (that receives better sunlight). I cut down about half of the plant because she was ridiculously bushy and not flowering. I cut a bunch o branches (like 6 or 7) in beginning of October in an attempt to stress into flowering to kick start her into flowering and it worked. Finally started producing and flowering. Buds are not crazy big but lots of small nugs going (12 or so tops). Very sativa in its flowering behavior. Nice trichrome production is finally happening, smells delicious. Trichromes are about 90% milked over so probably about 2 more weeks I would guess by looks of everything. Week 8 of flowering.

This lady has been Transplanted on day 39 since she was planted (may 10th) and I've prepared the 15L pot with the complete line of biotabs using 2 spoons of startrex for every 5L, sprinkled a couple of grams of mycotrex on the transplant hole before putting the plant and then I added 3 slow release tabs one biotab for every 5L of soil, so that's why in this case I added 3, after the Transplant was done I immediately watered the plant with 1ml/L of orgatrex and 1g/L of bactrex, I hope you guys enjoy my work this season!!

Great to see you and I missed you, I had some time so I created a video to thank our lovely foster company, who were so kind to let us try their light in return for a review. Now, most of you don't know I'm also into making music, mostly Techno but I also love HipHop and Gangster rap, mainly 90's Westcoast, although I'm fond of East Coast and a little dirty South, so this was an excellent time to showcase one of my tracks. So please check my Autumn-themed, not commissioned, or approved by Mars Hydro, visualization video in thanks for @MarsHydroLED. The grow has been going great! If you don't count the about a thousand fungus gnats I have been fighting. I'm manually manifolding and training the girls, into the desired shape, which is a bit hands-on but I see it as a collaboration more than a 50 shades approach to training. You can't just bust out a rope and domination on girls like that. We ease it in there, going to the limit every time, making them stretch and curl underneath the touch of our tender but firm hands. And when they are used to a little groping and fixation, we might bring out a few ropes here and there to spice it up a little. Anywaaaays.... I'm getting carried away here, back to the grow. I had bought some coco-peat, after leaving none for the top layer as I suggested to all of you in the previous weeks of my grow (if you missed it, click one week back for a full recipe (the yellow image) for everyone in Europe) left me with enormous amounts of fungus gnats. Its seems to alleviate the problem already. As it did with my previous grow the Gelato 33 Golden Canopy from Heaven. In the meantime I notice my temperatures going down so Im trying to fix that too. All in all it had been a good week and this Orange Hill Special is promising to become something special! Thanks for visiting again, see you soon!

First week of flowering in the bag, trying out a new deep voice in my videos does it sound sexy? Let me know in the comments. seeing a little bit of stress on the leaves, but nothing major. The new developing growth is green so everything seems to be going well. I’m gonna give it another week and then I’ll defoliate. So far so good. having a little trouble reversing the wrath rock, candy icy cuts. but I’m not worried. I have backups of the mothers and I have backups of those backups so I’ll definitely still be able to take another shot after seeing the results from this grow ….

Diciamo che le ragazze dovevano tutte e due arrivare a maturazione, invece io magari stupidamente (anzi sicuramente) ho raccolto due settimane prima la ragazza alimentata con RQS organico fertilizzante,, solo che era in una posizione scomoda, bloccata dalla mia rete per fare scrog, che l ha molto penalizzata e soprattutto l aria da quale parti rimaneva sempre spesso umida e la ragazza ne ha sempre risentito da quando ha iniziato a fiorire, mentre l altra aha continuato il suo sviluppo diventando uno "scherzo della natura *🤣 per grossezza e densità delle cime e delle foglie ritorte accanto piene di resina e sode come fossero cime loro stesse!! 😺 Anche se cmq mi rendo conto che avrei potuto avere risultati migliori con le potenzialità che ho acquisto nel tempo, e spero nella prossima edizione indoor di dare il meglio di me stesso e dimostrare che posso essere all altezza in un paese contrario alla legalizzazione riesco a produrre un prodotto di qualità che ormai sono 3/4 anni mi permette di non dover entrate in contatto con criminalità organizzata per avere due canne da fumare... È questo per me è già un lusso spettacolare che mi posso permettere ma per cui ho sudato, lavorato per anni prima di averlo... Vabbe buon 420 a tutti!

Questa settimana ho dovuto scalare le ore di luce purtroppo visto che in box ho due fotoperiodiche , nel complesso la #2 sta andando alla grande mentre la #1 si è ripresa da poco da quasi sicuramente uno stress che ho causato io alle radici , la #2 mi sta mostrando i segni di un inizio di fioritura, spero vadi tutto bene buona visione :)

Hi liebe Community and Welcome back! 💚 Der zweite Strain von Good Times Genetics. Entwickelt sich überaschend anders als vermutet. Ein schönes Wuchsbild verreint mit einem doch unterschätzen Stretch! Die Pflanze hat innerhalb der letzten 2 Wochen einen starken Stretch von knappen 18 cm hingelegt. Das bedeutet, das die Diesel Sativa Gene jetzt voll einschlagen. Auch die Blattform wird an den oberen Trieben, schlanker. Daher eher die Tendenz 60% Indica, 40% Sativa. Nach der zweiten Blütenwoche entwickeln sich die Blütentriebe immer stärker und die Stigmen bilden sich weiter aus. Bei diesem Genotypen, ist das Wichsverhalten weitgehend ähnlich, nur die Hauptwuchsphase war mit etwas kürzeren Internioden abständen geprägt. Der Stängelabrieb duftet schon stark nach säuerlichen, dieselartigen Nuancen, mit einen etwas GMO typischen Aroma. Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growzelt sind aktuell wieder super! ——————— 🌞 Temp: 22°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 53% VPD: 0,91 kPa 😎PPFD: 830 mqm ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

Starting week 7 of flower! This might be her last week! She is swelling up some and really packing on the trichomes. Her aroma grows more and more pungent with that deep chem and diesel smell. There are also some amazing fruity notes in the background like sweet berries. More updates soon!

Greetings, fellow cultivators and guardians of the green realm! It's time to unravel the verdant tapestry in this Week 2 Flower Report for our reigning queen, Jealousy, in the Power Buds competition. The air in the grow room is humming with the promise of flourishing buds, and the journey through the flowering phase has been nothing short of sublime. As Week 2 of flowering unfolded, I found myself marveling at the sheer perfection of Jealousy's progress. She's become the embodiment of botanical grace, with buds forming and branches reaching for the heavens. It's like witnessing a botanical ballet where every move is executed with precision and elegance. Now, in the pursuit of perfection, a decision was made to embark on a defoliation expedition. The goal? To channel Jealousy's energy into the areas that truly matter, ensuring that each bud site receives the spotlight it deserves. This meticulous pruning is like sculpting a masterpiece, with each leaf strategically removed to unveil the hidden beauty beneath. And why stop at perfection when we can plan for the future? As an insurance policy for the green kingdom, a few extra cuts were taken. It's like stashing away green treasures, ready to sprout new life if the need arises. These clones are not just cuttings; they are the potential guardians of our botanical legacy. Jealousy, our green empress, took the defoliation with a regal poise. She's a resilient beauty, adapting to the changes with the composure of a true queen. The grow room is now a stage, and Jealousy is the star, radiating with the promise of a bountiful harvest. As we navigate the second week of flowering, let's extend our heartfelt gratitude to Zamnesia and Plagron, the unsung heroes of our green odyssey. Their contributions are the foundation upon which our botanical dreams are built. A standing ovation to the Grow Diaries community – your shared experiences and collective wisdom create a vibrant tapestry of knowledge. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your buds blossom abundantly, and may the fragrance of success linger in the air. Here's to a week of defoliation finesse, green elegance, and the anticipation of a harvest fit for royalty. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of . Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only. Genetics - Jelousy @Zamnesia Nutrients @Plagron Light - @viparspectra P2000 Room size - 3x3 - 0,9x0,9

🏼Entschuldigung für die Verspätung aber ich war über Neujahr krank geworden und habe eine dicke mittelohrentzündung, war bis gestern Abend alles nicht so geil, naja heute geht’s wieder Berg auf! Und habe viel recherchiert und bin zu diesem Entschluss gekommen. ich habe leider jetzt zum Schluss bemerkt das der ph-Wert der Erde zu niedrig ist🤦🏻‍♂️ ich habe früher mit NDL und Bio Erde angebaut bis vor kurzem sogar noch. Naja aus Fehlern lernt man 😅 ich werde ab sofort dem drain mehr Beachtung schenken 😅 ich musste mich dementsprechend auch von der Strawberry Cola sherbert verabschieden… weil es bei ihr zu kalt war und sogar der ph wert hat ihr den Rest gegeben, ich habe die Pflanze geerntet. die Pflanze wird nicht viel her geben vielleicht maximal 10 - 15g aber da sind richtig viele terpene dran ich werde versuchen mir das als skuff raus zu holen :). Ja die eine Raimbow #1 (links) gleiches Problem aber dadurch das die einen 20L Topf drin ist verkraftet die Pflanzen es besser als die SBC. Nur bei RBM#3 ist es etwas komisch. Die reagiert richtig gut auf die Düngung und dem Super vit :) Aber nun trotzdem finde ich die Farben vom Gesamtbild sehr schön und interessant:) Ich habe aus diesen Grow viel gelernt und werde weiterhin diese Seeds bei SWeetseeds bestellen 🍀 Nächster Grow steht schon in den Start Löchern Edit: Ich fand das die alten Fotos nicht so liebevoll waren, deswegen hab ich mir beim Gießen etwas länger Zeit gelassen und habe mal ein paar schönes Fotos zum nachholen gemacht. und ein schönes Video noch dazu aufgenommen. Edit2: Die dritte Pflanze MRB bauscht in 6W noch etwas auf wie man auf den Fotos etwas erkennen kann. Ab Woche 7 - 8 werden wir die ersten Trichome fotografieren.

Day 105 approximately since seed touched soil. Last girl is running, got few bugs, a bit of WPM caught bottom leaves too. Think she has 1-2 weeks, but forecast is bad, rain mostly, so will visit next week, just to check is there any bud rot ... Eventually smallest, but best girl from all Zami run. Happy Growing !!!

Hello and welcome to week 7 for Enigma. Last week is now up to date. She was poisoned a few days ago and I'm trying to save her. Took off dead leaves today and fertigated with normal strength. Not super strength. Day 46: I've stabilised her but she's in rough shape. Day 48: Long video lots of detail. Day 49: A hard hard week. Almost killed her. Unsure where she goes from here but at least she doesnt take up any space!
