First week under big light, and in big pots. The light is at 50% giving me an average 550umol at 2ft. The ec fans are running about 50%. Total power consumption is around 600w so costing about 0.10 per hour to run.

Alright grow cycle, mistakes, improvements, etc... She did stay in veg for too long, her growth was slow and not the best and so she took quite long, next time i'll be there from the beginning so I can take care of her throughout. But her growth is really fun. It is a tall growing sativa with fairly tight noding when trained accordingly, producing long filled colas. The buds grow fairly dense and fluffly but do air out a little when dried. Trichome production was pretty impressive as well as terpene production. She had thrips since her early days but did not seem to mind them at all. I did spray them initially but once flower started I stopped. I believe predatory mites might have been feeding on the pupae in the soil, if that is what this specific species of thrips did, the reason I say that is I could never see adults only larvae. Whatever the case maybe they were there but the population never really increased. Something I did not mention during the grow is that those plants were played music during the days, music that is apparently developed for plants. The 10L pot was WAY too small for a true sustainable living organic and to provide enough space for the plant, that was a mistake, I'd say a 20L would be the bare minimum and still. The bigger the better. The hempy transfer did not hurt the plant and I believe even helped to some extent, BUT, I am still running test on the subject and so can't confirm anything, here are my observations Roots did not colonize the perlite, a little on top and the sides but that was it, I was expecting to see a big root mass in there. I believe hempy are great for salt fert as it hold a soup of nutes where the plant can feed from since the coco only holds very little Whereas in nature most nutrient are in the top soil where the highest amount of decomposition happens, this is where the highest microbial activity happens and so where the plant will find food. Living organic is trying to reproduce nature and so there is no need for the plant's roots to gather at the bottom of the pot. Although it could have potentially provided the plant access to a larger amount of water and possibly more oxygenation of the pot. Those are all theories, please speak up if you have other proofs. In conclusion , unless i get proven otherwise by someone or my latest running experiment , I will not be using hempies again as I believe it brings more complication and issues than a simple fabric pot. The lights, The 600w at the start was good, then I decided to add a 400w...😂 That was completely overkill and not necessary. Waste of electricity. And they started suffering from too much light it seems at some point, I raised the light by a good 30 cm and they were fine. 600 is more than enough. I am happy about how the soil performed but it has room for improvements. As for the watering technique I have been watering large ammount every few days, next time I will be giving constant small amount of water each day and a soak every week or so, I believe the soil might perform better under those conditions. She was also an easy plant to harvest whit her long colas which had very little foliage, I do trim in excess as I like my buds extra clean but the buds are not excessively bushy. The trims were use to make some bubble hash, around 100g of wet trims yielded around 1.5-2g of bubble hash. I did add a negative effect but only because it wouldn't give me a smile otherwise, but to be honnest it barely dries your mouth. The soil is going to be recycled and reused in a next grow. I can't think of anything else at the moment but if you have any question don't hesitate.

Strain: Divine Seeds – AK47 XL Grow Type: Indoor Pot Size: 7 Gallon Medium: Peat Moss & Perlite Nutrient Line: Athena (Bloom) Week 5 Update She’s doing great this week getting a little taller and showing steady progress as she settles into flower. She’s taking her nutrients well with little to no deficiencies, just a slight yellowing on the tips, but nothing too concerning at the moment. It’s week two of flower, and everything looks fine so far. Hoping to see more pistil coverage and early bud development as the week goes on. Feeding 1.7 L Athena Bloom nutrient mix (will raise gradually if needed). Indoor Climate Conditions Temperature: 18–23°C Humidity: 60–65% VPD: ~0.5–0.8 kPa See y’all next week!

It’ll take me 30 min to trim this whole plant just the way I like it. Most likely be the first one to come down also need to get her ready.

PE will be harvested this week, super excited! Trichomes are just about where I want them, just waiting on a little more amber. PT is chugging along, looking like she’s going to have some larger buds this time! WW is still mostly white in her pistils, she will take longer than PE to finish up. WW in the small tent is looking fantastic, she’s ScrOGed and has been teaching towards the light a bit. Hoping for a big yield off this plant. BW is still small but she looks like she’s getting nice trichome development. Should be harvesting almost weekly, super excited to see how much I get from this entire grow. Check individual diaries for more specifics on each plant! Happy growing! 👩‍🌾🏼🌱

So far so good. Fattening up nicely, growth has been wicked up till this point. Only vegged her for 27 days. Pretty impressive growth. Hopefully she will be ready end of next week. Dropped the feeding back slightly, will be starting the flush soon. Stay tuned.

This harvest was really sweet and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I was hoping to break a pound but oh well better luck next time. The whole house just reeks 👌. Its for sure obvious we have harvested here , the nose doesn't lie. There will be a whole bunch more of the dry ice hash as well since I still have an abundance of sugar leaves in the freezer just waiting.

Well, I made it through another week, lol. Just your typical boring week. The weather is cooling down now and the humidity has been decent. Another great transition week. Week 14 and 4th week of flower starts today, 9/5. There's this one cola on Bruce that's really scratching my brain to bend over, lol. They're all looking great though, still responding well to the Schwazz! Time to apply some booster and hopefully watch them fatten up from here on our. I'm actually quite impressed with most of the clones, they should fill out nicely! That's pretty much it. Feeling good, feeling good 😁 Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: 9/8 I uploaded a video and everything is looking good. I started some booster for the clones and next feed for the mothers I'll do the same. The flowers are finally starting to grow with copious amounts of pistols!!! Only a slight smell during the day but definitely stronger at night. I'm still very excited and very fortunate to have gotten this far 🙏 Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️

We are make progress now, check out that trichome production this week. Stunning! I cleaned up the bottom one more time. I will be top dressing this next week and it will be the last before harvest.

Última poda de bajos. Hago 3 riegos a la semana 700-800ml repartiendo fertilizantes. Último riego siempre agua, calmag y sensizym únicamente. He medido ec sustrato y da 2.4, un poco alto pero parece que lo soportan bien. Sino me equivoco quedan aún 7 días de prefloracion (crecimiento) mínimo. Creo que pueden llegar a los 90-100cm. He podido contar en 25 plantas como 80-90 ramas a la misma altura, creo que el Scrog ha servido para organizar bastante. Nos vemos próximamente 😘

A few of the zed blacks hermed..spreading pollen into the flower tent. Already seeing some seeds develop. It is what it is. I should have done a better job checking on them. I kept the Zed blacks that only had a couple flowers on the bottom but tossed anything that had flowers growing up the majority of the plant. Some of the most famous strains in the world were self pollinated so I don't have issues with a couple male flowers. They're just trying to improve their fitness as nature intended. The plants are doing very well. A few of the bottom leaves are dying which is normal...senecense! Sucking up those nutrients. I've been liquid feeding using the fish, seaweed, humate and recharge. I have saved the males and they are trying to reveg. Still popping out a few flowers which I'm cutting off. 1 rainbow belt. 1 zed black. 3 hash plants The hash plants are smelling incredible. Definitely a few keepers mixed in here. Maybe 3/7. Hopefully the quality of the flower backs it up. Zed blacks have 2/3 I'm interested in. One is very very low yield. Unless its a really high quality plant I'm gonna toss it Rainbow belts are both smelling ridiculous. Super frosty. Good yield. One is slightly more frosted than the other. The zkittles pheno has pure Skittles smell with a little lemon cleaner chem to back it up. Probably my keeper!

Graduated, and am off from work for a few weeks, so went overboard on photos. Plant is doing well, leaves are starting to turn yellow (strain trait). Can't wait for the harvest and being able legally gift my xmas ornaments to my cousins during our "cousins walk" at our family xmas party.

All changed - all tents basically wrapped into one - the green leopard complete tent. It’s been great to get them in , the power , the light- check out the original sea of beam in the flesh. I’m looking for a commercial grow operation to try and document a commercialized version of the sea of beam - please get in touch [email protected] For the shop to get your lights / tent and the rest visit thegreenleopard.com Sea of beam is patent pending and is an absolute game changer for yield , structure , lack of variation between top and bottom bud - just a monster PAR sandwich and more. I’ve priced my products right to say hi and give you the best - for growers by growers 🙏🏼
