So starting week 3 or week 2 of veg. I upped my feed schedule to 4 times a day as well as upped the ppm to 550. Decided to finally named the plants. Left hand side is Amy and the right is Rose. I have been using doctor who characters for my plant names 🤓. Well it’s day 17 and rose is looking really good and robust. Amy on the other hand is still a bit small and looking like she has some sort of deficiency. Even though both plants have been treated the same. I am going to just keep doing what I am doing and hope she will catch up in time. She is slowly looking better and better. Other than that I am hoping to start my LST at the end of this week. I will update this week as it progresses. This actually about day 11 after sprout and starting veg. With that being said I did start a little light LST on rose. My last grow I had a similar issue where one plant was half the size of the other of the same strain. It made flowering awkward in my setup. So I am really going to concentrate on keeping rose as close to the same height as Amy. I’ll use LST as much as I can then I will be scrogging them as best I can.

Día 51 (22/07) Las plantas han reaccionado bien al 2º topping! 💥 Algunas de ellas ya empiezan a formar los nuevos brotes justo debajo del nudo cortado! Hoy NO necesitan riego, tras regar ayer con 1 Litro de Té Vegetativo de Lurpe! 💨😁 Día 52 (23/07) Las plantas empiezan a formar rápidamente nuevas ramas tras el topping! 😍 A pesar del alto calor (35 - 38 ºC), gracias al sombreado y el mulch se mantienen frescas y con la tierra húmeda, ¡perfecto para los microorganismos del living soil! Día 53 (24/07) No es necesario regar Día 54 (25/07) Los nuevas ramas se lanzan al cielo! 💥 Me encanta ver como los nuevos brotes de un color verde pálido (casi radiactivo) nacen entre el intenso verde oscuro de las hojas de abanico ya formadas Hace un día nublado y con 29 ºC de máxima. No es necesario regar! Día 55 (26/07) Riego con 500 ml H2O pH 6,5 Día 56 (27/07) Retiro los ajustes de LST a la mayoría de las plantas, para que crezcan libres ahora que se acerca el stretch No es necesario regar Día 57 (28/07) Riego con 1 Litro H2O pH 6,5 con 25 ml/L de Humus de Lombriz Liquido Aplicación foliar Kelp hidrolizado de Lurpe Solutions a 0,25 ml/l 💦Nutrients by Lurpe Solutions - www.lurpenaturalsolutions.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

Coming up on the half way mark. Kinda slacking on this one, but ah well.. I'm sure 99% of the people here are too high to read this lol. F Day32- change RES and blend. Boost the bloom some more and backing off a little on the grow. If you followed 2 girls 1 cup, you know I got notes in head and on paper.

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.

5/5 MONDAY Took out the AC Infinity lights and just went with the 2 cheap blue and red lights. Samsung 301B.. H?....great lights but so powerful and no blue red combo. I noticed the plant grow towards the red spectrum LED than the whiter ones on the AC system. There are 2 on each bar. I use the AC lights as auxiliary when I get need it for taller plants with lots of vegetation. 2pm looking great. '"Sir, I have seen nae deerskin treaty, nor have I seen fairies or water sprites. But what I do have are Malay coins, enough to bury you. Prayer beads, not enough to get you to heaven. And hashish, enough to ease my grieving when the East India Company slit your throat, which, of course, they will." ― Brace in a conversation with James. 5/5 11pm Monday night, MORNING for me.....WHAT IS THIS????? CONKEY IS ALIVE!!!!!! CONKEY IS ALIVE!!!!!! CONKEY IS ALIVE!!!!!! CONKEY IS ALIVE!!!!!! CONKEY IS ALIVE!!!!!! HOLDY SHILT I CANT BELIVE IT, NOW WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO???? I GOT OUTSMARTED BY A SEED!!!!!! A-FUCKING-GAIN!!!! HOW CAN I NOT BE SMARTER THAN A SEED....??????🚨 5/6 1230am..... ALL OF THIS IS SOMEONE ELSE FAULT....... Now I have a freakshow Siamese twin plant, PERFECT. When Im not flying off in a rage about things I break....it's a fucking comet of disaster.... I typed comedy you stupid ficler.... Maybe I keep them in the same pot and call them Cory & Trevor!!! 2am They are getting a little humid so I have to open the top for a while. The cheaper lights work better. and are less than 15w 5/7👍🚨Looks like Cory & Trevor are fighting 😂😂 5/8 looks good. 8am getting great photos on small iPhone by pulling back a little bit so it doesn’t focus too far behind. 5/10 2am. I was able to empty my disgusting body of toxic shit...these plants are rebuilding by digestive tract and systems. A multi-year painful endeavor I have achieved through weed. so fuck you if you dont like it. I will defend my rights with overwhelming force. if you try and take it. you know exactly what I mean and yes this means you badgey mc fafo. 5/11 12 pm

Tenth week of flowering started. I went out a week and at my return I discovered that the #2 is sick. The plant doesn't drink anymore and a lot of branches are falling down with limp leaves. I think that the missing defoliation, the height and the poor ventilation caused that. At the moment I removed her from the tent moving her out to the balcony. I did a huge defoliation to the #1 and a massive LST in order to low the height of buds that reached the lamp that is at its maximum height. So far I gave to the plant only water. I think that the cause of plant disease is the high humidity level (at least 90%...). Tomorrow I will buy a dehumidifier hoping that this will help the remaining plant. D63: changed the water into the pot. Added 15 ml grow, 30ml micro and 40ml bloom. [email protected] EC 1.2 D64: after the defoliation the plant seems to be healthy. The humidity into the tent is still high, tomorrow I will install the dehumidifier. D65: I've put a dehumidifier into the tent, I've added 3 liters of tap water to the pot; the plant is drinking a lot so I think that she is fine. The plants produces a lot of fat buds, so I've checked the trichomes for the first time, they are clear for the majority. D67: added 5 liters of tap water to the pot. The plant is drinking a lot

Cambio liquidos a floración por ver ya sus flores, muy contento con los resultados, la poda justo a tiempo. He tenido un problema con la mesa A, una de las luces se ha fundido, la sustituyo por una de 4200k mismo voltage, hasta que la marca me lo reemplaze por defectuosa.
