10/10/2022 - 64 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 The fifth week of flowering of my Mandarine XL 🍊🍊🍊 Nutrients: Jungle Indabox - this week I keep serving and adding Jungle Indabox Environ X - bud stimulator 🌼🌸🌼 Advanced Nutrients - Big Bud - I canceled the bud stimulator mix and stayed with Jungle Indabox because the girls got a little burnt, the classic brown color appeared on the tips of the leaves 🍃🍂 I stuck with Bud Candy, all my girls need plenty of carbs 🍭🍭 Atami - ATA Calmag - when growing under LED lights it is recommended to use Calmag and Atami is an excellent brand Training: With Mandarine XL, I did not defoliate as much as with BCN, it was not necessary, I mainly cut off the large leaves that shade the light 🍃🍃 Light: Believe - the best light of sponsor Mars Hydro TS 1000 💡💡 In general: The plant is strong, manages nutrients well, absorbs as needed. Its buds form mainly at the ends of the branches and are dense. She Is in full bloom, I expect her to bloom for at least another two weeks 🏵️💮 It smells really wonderful, she revealed her strongly fruity scent 🍋🍊 Thanks for the likes and you can follow me on Twitter 🐦: @ Targona666 See you soon 😍

Week 5! End of Veg? Preflower? Flower? Very eventful week. Throughout this week at ever watering the plant got a round of LST+Tucking. At this point I'm trying to maximize the amount of growth sites getting light exposure and also trying to keep the canopy relatively flat/level. Full strength nutrients per normal. About this point I was getting really worried about space, particularly giving the genetics of this plant tend to the larger side. Impulse purchased a net and on 9/17/25 the ScrOG net was installed and I did my best to use it to curate the canopy. ~placed about 8" from the top of the pot and besides that I just gave it my best go, not exactly sure if I did it right or not. Towards the end of this week pistols become pretty apparent on most of the plant! Some very light defoliation was done, just a couple of oversized fan leaves that weren't getting much light anyway. LED was set to 100% (and slightly raised) per manufacture specification towards the end of this week. Wouldn't be a first grow without a scare of the week. 😵 Last week we had an accidental topping, this week we have roots growing all outside the pot. On 9/16/25 I noticed the root growth out the bottom of the pot. My wildly unintelligent drain pan setup used bows to space the pot up and they collected runoff, leaving the roots with a nice bath of runoff water to grow into. Learning every week, this week I learned about air-pruning. Went ahead and cut these root growths off, purchased a 1$ Lowes runoff pan, and returned three bowls and a nice Pyrex dish back to the kitchen. About the same time of my root issue, within the next 2 days a good amount of leaves had slight yellow tips...

OMG guys , won't believe the amazing progress my girl Cosmos has made in just her second week of flowering! She's like a shooting star, bursting with growth and vitality. And let me tell you, in the world of autoflowers, the second week of flowering is like the equivalent of a plant's teenage years. They're growing so fast, trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in, and just generally being a little rebellious. But with Cosmos, it's like she knows exactly what she's doing. She keeps throwing these three beautiful little shoots for each node, and they're just thriving! It's like she's saying, "Hey world, look at me! I'm growing like crazy and I'm not afraid to show it!" All in all, the second week of flowering with Cosmos has been an absolute joy. I can't wait to see what the next few weeks have in store for us. Who knows, maybe she'll surprise us with some even more incredible growth and beauty. One thing's for sure, with a plant like Cosmos, anything is possible!

Was such a pleasant harvest from start to finish, no issues at all. A tip for next time would be to have the SCRoG lower as I couldn’t really tuck any node sights this time round, smells absofuckinglutely amazing from 3RD week bloom onwards!

An diesem Grow will ich beobachten, was schlussendlich die bessere Methode ist (TOPPING , VS FIMMING) Alle 4 Pflanzen sind gut in die 3 Woche gekommen. 2 Pflanzen sind ein wenig kleiner geraten als die anderen beiden, deshalb habe ich die zwei kleineren Pflanzen in zwei 11 L Töpfe gepflanzt wo sie bis zum Ende bleiben. SONNTAG: Heute wurden die beiden größeren Ladys gefimmt, die zwei kleineren wurden getoppt. Eine von den größeren Ladys habe ein bisschen mehr gewellt. Die habe ich einwenig entlaubt da ich nach der zweiwöchigen Pause mit LST weiter machen will. Ich bin voller Hoffnung das alle meine Babys das Training heile überstehen, drückt die Daumen.😁 MONTAG:

February 23, 2024 Day 8 Both babies got 250 ml top water today. I'll check on them in a couple hours and see how they are. Other than that. Nothing else to do. I did want to mention how very similar these two are. I think they're the same phenome. Although, it may be a bit early to really tell. That would be cool though. Beautiful green color and perfect little stalk. The true fan leaves are starting to show themselves now, so I can officially move them into the Veg Stage. So for this week, the focus will be watering and ensuring the light intensity is at the right level. I'll probably wait another few days before I think about introducing some nutrients. I'd like to start when the true fan leaves are fully showing. As I've said before, the soil is used, so I think a bit of recharge and Advanced Nutrients 3 Part Base solution would be a good idea. At a minimum of course. I'm counting more on the recharge to really kickstart the soil back to life. I'm definitely going to need to do a full watering when the first node starts and with the nutrient solution. However, I feel like I may need to do that sooner rather than later. Based on my last grow, the biggest plant had the most water in the second week of growth. I even thought I overwatered, but nope. So I'm going to try to replicate that. Especially because this is a super fast strain. They'll need all the water they can get. I'll start that on my next watering. I'll bump it up to 500 ml and focus mainly on the outer rim to help the rest of the soil get to the right moisture level without disturbing the environment they already have at the base. The light is still the same distance from the plants with the same PPFD. I'll start to focus more on DLI in the coming days as they grow. I have my light schedule for the week and plan to stick to it, letting the intensity slowly increase for the start of the next week and so on. I was considering increasing the power to 40% when I need to increase the intensity, but I have so much distance to play with, I might as well keep it at the same level until I get some nodes going. By flower, I'm hoping to have a perfect DLI of 45 by flowering. And hoping to be able to bring the light up to 100% for super deep penetration by then. I'd also like to get the light down to 24" for the veg stage. It seems to be the sweet spot for the coverage footprint. Also, I think I got the Tent Environment down for once. The night temp drops to around 68° while the day temp, although slow to climb, stays around 77°. I'm hoping that doesn't cause a stunting issue with the temp swing at such a young age. I think it will be fine. We shall see. The average temp is a bit low though. I may increase the night temp to 72°. That should put the average over 75°. The RH is pretty steady across the board around 72% with it dropping a little bit to 68% and up a bit higher at night to 74%. The VPD is also spot on averaging around 0.82 kPa. During the day it climbs up to 1.03 and at night drops down to 0.77 kPa. It's a bit low for my taste, but with the increased temp, I should see a nice round 0.83 kPa at night. Someday I'll get an automatic humidifier. Anyway, I know it was a lot, but it's a new week. See you tomorrow: Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 71.8% VPD: 0.82 kPa February 24, 2024 Kind of a big deal today for both ladies. So I in have a pair of Tropicana Cookies sharing the tent with these plants. The TC is showing signs of deficiencies. So to combat that, I added a 1/4 tsp of Recharge to a gallon of water. As I'm growing both strains as similarly as possible, I fed 250 ml to all 4 plants. Hopefully the packaging is correct and it won't burn these little babies. They are definitely hitting Veg already. But to be on the safe side, I covered them with a Starbucks cup and then watered them. It kept the soil from getting saturated at the base and will also help promote outward growth. As for watering itself, I feel like I should be watering more to prep the soil for when the veg stage really hits and the roots start to search more. I'd like to get to the point of runoff by the end of the week. Maybe I'll add another 250 ml with the cup in place again tomorrow. I will also need to water at the base in the next day or so. They are both growing the exact same still. I know it's only been a day, but a lot can change in that time, so nothing yet. Plus, what else am I supposed to document? Stems are strong. Leaves are a beautiful green color and the true leaves are starting to spread more. Lookin good. I'd also like to mention that it is 16° outside today, so even with the heat cranked, it's not really doing much. So low temps for a bit today. Around 70° much too low, but not much I can do until the heat catches up. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.4° RH: 67.6% VPD: 0.90 kPa February 25, 2024 Not much to do today. I'll either water 250ml today or 500 ml tomorrow. Either way, it's time to start wetting the whole container. I'm starting to think I should have done this the day before planting them. Oh well, I'll try that next time. For now, I'll stick with the gradual watering. It'll be increased again next week if needed. These babies look great. The leaves are getting longer and seem to be a medium width. Much like a true hybrid. So far at least. It's still pretty early to tell. We shall see. The light intensity is pretty good as well. No changes needed at the moment. However, I have a feeling I'll be dropping it an inch or two in a couple of days to match the schedule. I don't think I need to increase the power yet. I'll start increasing the power when I start training. It makes sense. I'll be pulling the tops down, so the DLI will be off a bit. But instead of dropping the light, increase the intensity so it can penetrate the new canopy right away. And if I can hover between 22" and 24" light distance, it should be perfect. I feel like that has the best footprint for this setup. Interesting Theory: Mostly for My Records: I may be slow on the info, but I think I figured out how brightness and distance make a difference in PAR and Brightness as well as footprint. The light distance defines the footprint. And the light power defines the brightness. Combining the two makes for a PAR reading. However I feel that the higher the brightness, the deeper the canopy penetration. Distance doesn't really change the brightness. It does change the PAR, but we can fix that with Distance. As long as we match the PAR reading to the proper level, there's no difference, correct? Maybe not. A less bright light even super close to a canopy would not be strong enough to penetrate the canopy because the power isn't strong enough. Even at the same PAR reading, it still wouldn't be powerful enough to penetrate. On the other hand a brighter light with the same PAR reading would work differently. Same PAR reading at a higher distance. But the power would also be higher. I feel that the light will penetrate deeper as long as the PAR remains the same. An example is a too large plant for the setup. Light distance was under 9" and power was down to 30% the PAR reading was much too high even with such low power. The light however couldn't penetrate below the first set of leaves and buds very well. But, in a smaller tent with a 100 watt light, I grew a wonderful plant where the light penetrated the canopy deeper because it was brighter and the distance was deeper. The plant wasn't nearly as big as it was in a 2x2 tent and 1 gallon container compared to the 3x3 tent and a 5 gallon container. But it had dense buds almost all three way down to the base. The larger plant had bud as far down as I allowed, as it mostly came out as popcorn, loose buds and some larf. This all brings me to believe that light power directly affects the canopy penetration and not necessarily distance. Distance plays a role with footprint and brightness, but not power. I also believe light heat makes a difference as well. A brighter light is warmer and plants like to be warm. So they will stretch to the warmth of the light as well. Less power means a cooler light and a less happy plant. My opinion of course. As I'm keeping this for my records, if anyone has any extra info, or correcting facts, please let me know. I'd rather have a theory be corrected or supported so I have the correct information. Doesn't matter how old this Diary is as I check all comments. Thanks in advance! Update: I decided to water in 250 ml of Recharge without the domes. I'll do another 250 ml tomorrow with the domes on and so forth until they get too big to fit under the dome. Then it will be normal watering. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.1° RH: 74.4% VPD: 0.57 kPa (a bit low, but I'm measuring 2 different probes) February 26, 2024 Mid-week update: Both ladies are looking great! Still wonderful green and growing nice and steady. They are about 6 cm tall or 2 3/4". DLI: 18.1 mol/m²/d PAR: 280 ppfd. I also watered in another 250 ml with the domes on today. I'll run the 250 ml daily until week 3 and then I'll change it up to 500 ml every other day for that week. After that, everything should be good to go for the flowering stage. I'll also install the basins after week 3. It should be excellent timing. They are 1 gallon basins. So refilling should be every other day or so. The goal with this run is to not have to top water at all. The basins should work perfectly as long as I set them up properly. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.8° RH: 70% VPD: 0.83 kPa February 27, 2024 So major problem in my opinion. My humidifier is blanketing the whole tent with the white powder they give off. I wasn't running my exhaust fan as I didn't need it at all. So I turned it on as low as possible and started one of my circular fans. Hopefully that solves the problem. I had to carefully wipe it off of Banana PP B. However, regardless of the powder, these two are growing quite nicely. Maybe a little slower than I was hoping, but still nice steady growth. They both got a little misting today as well as will be getting the 250 ml watering after the water comes up to room temp. This watering will be PHed to 6.0 and will be dome free. There was still about 400 ml of Recharge left, so I let it stay and just won't add more til next week when I start the base nutrients. I'll also be adding Cal/Mag. Other than that, they are still super green and super healthy. Hopefully they take off when the base nutrients kick in as well as the container soil being properly moistened. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.7° RH: 60.6% VPD: 1.16 kPa February 28, 2024 Not much going on today. They both got their daily 250 ml watering PHed at 5.95. I didn't go near the base though. So it's kinda like having the dome, but not as precise. They are slightly reaching and the first set of true leaves are finally starting to pop out. The node is also growing at what seems to be a wonderful pace. Still a beautiful green and the stalk is nice and strong. Very straight as well. They do have a bit of a lettuce structure on the single fan leaves. It'll be fine. The true leaves look spectacular. Lighting is still pretty spot on. 2 more days and I'll be either lowering the light or increasing the intensity. At this stage I don't think I need to increase the power. The light distance is pretty far away. That gives me a good 6 inches of wiggle room. I'll increase the intensity when they start to grow a second node. On the other hand, I could keep the light where it's at for now and let the plants grow into it. Then I can increase the intensity when they get to that point. Week 3 from seed starts in 2 days. Which should be the true first week of Veg. I'll evaluate on what to do tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I need a DLI of 20 mol/m²/d starting next week. So I'll run the light at 350 ppfd or DLI of 22.7 mol/m²/d. Just above. It seems to be the perfect spot for these ladies. I'd also like to add that I've had zero issues with the 250 ml per day. It keeps the soil moisture just around 50%. Not sure if that means I'm not getting any deeper, but that's why I'll be starting 500 ml every other day next week. I feel that adding the extra 250 will help penetrate the soil better and a bit faster. Especially because those roots are going to start stretching past the dome width. And it's time for the roots to start growing down. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 62.9% VPD: 1.09 kPa February 29, 2024 Today is the last day of the first week of plant life. Week 2 from seed. Both plants got the 250 ml top water without dome. Lighting looks great. Although, I noticed that a couple hours before lights out, they were both standing straight up like there was no light, but they still had a good 3 hours left. Strange or good? Either way, it'll be adjusted tomorrow to a DLI of 22.7 mol/m²/d. PAR will be 350 ppfd. I'm also going to try and lower the light a smidge. Maybe down to 26". We shall see what works best. Both plants are super healthy and right on track. Maybe a little slower than I'd hoped, but still steady growing. I feel like this will be a 4 week veg time. Greens are beautiful and she looks very strong. Leaves are growing nicely and I can only imagine they will take off when I start the Advanced Nutrients regimen tomorrow. At least I hope they take off. They should though. Tomorrow is around the time when they really start taking root. That in turn speeds up growth so I think I'm right on point here. I'm also going to be posting a video every week. Once the 2 start to show their differences and greater size, then they will each get a video every week. Update: I realized my plants were reaching a bit too much and leaning in toward the light. That being said, they definitely need more light, so I lowered it until I hit a DLI of 19.8 mol/m²/d. That way when I bring it up to 22.7 mol/m²/d it won't be hit so hard immediately. I should have dropped the light down a day or two ago, but oh well. It will be on point for the rest of the grow. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.0° RH: 62.3% VPD: 1.03 kPa The temp slammed down over 50° last night and I'm having a bit of trouble combating it. It'll definitely take a decent amount of the day to re-acclimate. However, it should be fine. I have the temp in my room set to 80° so that should combat the sudden cold.

Welcome to week 4 a flower it's day 86 and she is still growing beautifully with tons of trichome development no deficiencies and getting bigger all the time I still got at least four weeks left I'm hoping she gets nice and fat and I'm really hoping that it turns purple in the late stages. I haven't really changed much other than I increase the amount of flush material as I started to notice a little bit of Browning tips on some of the leaves I raised it from 2L to 4L of straight water I also increase the amount of nutrients from 3 to 4 litres starting tomorrow I'll be reducing the amount of flushing water down to three but keeping the nutrients the same. Hope the information was useful happy growing and keep your stick on the ice

Training > topping, defoliation, and LST, using a cage for the first time, liked a lot to model a even canopy. Girls wore grown in 15l fabric pots, I choose a higher pot so is not wide, my idea was to grow three, felt that 25l pots still ideal, the girls net bigger and have more room for the roots. She was constant feed > Watering 1 = Base Nutes + Recharge . > Watering 2 = Boosters. > Preventive Cal Mag every 15days +- . Based on my feeling, and the leafs color I released some nutes or added so this is just an Idea on my schedule, no expressive or relevant burning. — — — Besides my LED fail everything went on point, flawless, they grew well and fast, weight was less than I expected, but for free beans is ok, can’t expect anything. For those looking for a Sativa dominant Hybrid this is a good strain to give a go, vigorous and easy to grow. She was not fully flushed because i did not wanted to risk, though the final product ended smooth as the BB. I’m a Heavy indica guy, so this is not the best choice for me, though the high is balanced and good for social events and gatherings so you don’t feel sleepy. Final product smell is like a pungent white tea, floral and sweet. —— …To be continued… More on the high and effects once i get deeper in to it.

Welcome to week 7 growmies! She’s doing great in her second week of flowering! She is still stretching and got a bigger defoliation at the end of week 6. For the start she’s getting only ph regulated water from top and some nutrients from bottom. There a little signs on the leaf tip why I skip nutrients for one watering cycle. On mid of week 7 she’s still stretching and first orange pistils shown up. On weekend she’s getting another defloration and another round of nutrients.

Our Zamnesia Slurricane has reached 16 buds. I'm growing them a little more to make sure they don't go into flowering with small brunches but we're almost there, a few days and they'll go into flowering. She's a plant with a low internodal distance, they're not the most suitable for topping due to the slow response of the mini brunches but you just need to let them grow a little and not go into flowering straight away to get an excellent result anyway. As a general rule but very general plants with a low internodal distance are less suitable for the application of the techniques unlike plants with a wide internodal distance which are very easy to handle, they grow more slowly and can reach excellent dimensions even if worked with techniques that keep them low. The Topping worked very very well the plant at the moment of topping went into overfertilization due to the evident slowdown in growth, so I slowed down the fertilizer for growth but it was about to go into crisis, so we're starting to give fertilizer again. When topping is a delicate moment it is probably better to do what I explain below. The ideal when topping is probably to start with a soil fertilized with gradual release or to start preparing the soil for a period that is at least enough for the vegetative phase at most by adding a bit of alga grow which alone I must admit gives me some problems at least in this case if the plant grows straight much less indeed nothing. We are always using soil, feeding and all the recommended additives from Plagron 100% organic, we have only lowered the amount of grow in this topping phase for the reasons mentioned above. ---- Decide on the right soil and calculate your fertilizer sheet based on the soil on the official website. -- www.plagron.com Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy...

My plants grow well! The leaves issue I get during last week seems to be ok now. I trained the 4 plants. O.G. Kush and Honey Melon Haze in the begining of the week and the 2 Mandarin Punch on the last day. O.G. Kush & Honey Melon Haze : topping + LST. Mandarin Punch : topping only. I struggled a little bit to maintain a good air humidity. It was oscillating between 50 and 70% but most of the time it was around 60%. I had to use a dehumidifier. The fan is now "ON" at the same time as the light.
