Greetings my dear Jungletamers, So a major surprise came when @MarsHydroLED contacted us and asked if would like to try out their new SP 3000 light. Being a fan of Mars Hydro for years, we of course accepted their offer. We are totally in love with this light. I was when I saw it in another grower's setup and was in awe of its output and results. So with much pride and thankfulness for the presents the Universe bestowed on us, in the form of MarsHydroLEDS offer and the bountiful harvest of the last grow, (which I am thoroughly enjoying btw, such a great weed to have grown ourselves) we start out on a new adventure that we can't wait to share with you. With many lessons learned from the previous grow, a mighty producing strain in the form of Expert Seeds Gorilla Glue #4, a.k.a Expert Gorilla's and a tweaked super soil mixture, we are setting out to hopefully get over a gram per watt, preferably 1.5. The Setup A 4.5 (140 cm) x 2(70) x 6.2 (200) grow tent, giving me a .98 m2 workspace. This space is customized to my needs. A standing fan will provide airflow through the whole grow, a top fan will help guide cooler air past my lights onto the grow. 3 56 ltr pots will be the home for the plants when they are 2 weeks old, up to then in smaller jars. The Light The leading role and star of the show will be played by the Mars Hydro SP-3000, so kindly provided by MarsHydroLED, which we will test and review here and I might say, endorse. I'm very careful with who I endorse and support these days, but a company with that many wins in design, I'm talking ever since their first range came out in 2009 these guys have been raising the bar for the whole industry, I did not hesitate to support this leading brand. If you want to compete with these guys, you better bring some quality AND affordable pricing. Why do I endorse the SP-3000 without ANY hesitation? It is seriously THE BEST light on the market in this price range and size group. It has an enormously effective output in U/Mol and with 30% less energy waste comparing to older LED lights. Prove me wrong! And with a company holding a considerable market share selling thousands of units every month, competing on price and quality, one would think that customer service would suffer. Of course, also Mars Hydro is not perfect, but check the sheer amount of people that not only praise the light but also the service received, should the light somehow not perform up to par. It is this dedication to their customer base that made this company have a fanbase... Yes, a fanbase with a website and a wiki. So if you are looking to buy new lights, check out the END OF SUMMER OFFER at the Mars-Hydro Global Store on Aliexpress: https://marshydroled.aliexpress.com/ 👈 Check their offers but also their score, they ship from a warehouse near you so you don't have the extra import fees!! Cut out the middleman and have a deal on these lights!! At the moment I write this in August 2021, the lights are 408,20 euro when sent from Germany to the rest of Europe, that's 40 euro cheaper than the other Mars outlets, BUT EVEN 60 euros cheaper than ordering at a grow store!! The Strain: Experts Seeds - Expert Gorilla feminized regular. Don’t let the name fool you because Expert Gorilla is suitable for growers of any skill level. However, you do need to be an experienced smoker because Expert Gorilla is one of the most potent strains on the market. Lineage: Chem Sis x Chocolate Diesel x Sour Dubb Popularity: Extremely Popular Flavor/Aroma Profile: Chocolate, Earthy, Fuel Yield: 400 g/m2 Stress Tolerance: High resistance to disease Potency: 24% THC Flowering time: 58 - 63 days The Soil: Those who saw my Monstercropped Gelato #33 grow (you should see it if you didn't, I'm so proud of that grow), know about my super soil and organic nutrients/ permaculture tea combo that starred in my previous diary. Because of the great results, we are going to use the same recipe, adjusted some more with some new ingredients that will complete the mix and give an even more sustained super soil buffer. 20% Atami Bi-grow (very similar to ocean forest) 20% Atami worm castings 20% Atami Coco Coir 10% Hydrocorn 10% Peat powder 1 cup Fossil seaweed chalk 1 cup bonemeal 1 cup bloodmeal 1 cup Microlife 3-4 teaspoons of epsom salt 3 cups of activated biochar (activated with our own permaculture tea) I just made layers, starting with hydro corn on the bottom to aid airflow/run-off. On this I started layering the coco coir, Bi-grow, peat, castings, and amendments in a way that the more mature the plants get, the more phosphorous and less nitrogen they will find. Every time I made three layers, I would mix them by hand. This way we simulate natural soil, which consists of humic layers, composting plant waste, fungal and microbial life, and nutrients from fossilized sources. The Nutrients I will start with just adding 6.4 PH water, although this soil should buffer ph itself and regulate, after 4 weeks, I'll slowly be adding: - Biobizz Grow - Plagron Alga Grow - Biobizz CalMag - Biobizz Flower - Plagron Alga Flower - Biobizz Topmax - Melasses The Tea Some of you might remember the permaculture tea from my previous grow, I have a short video in my harvest page showing how we make it), it will star again in this grow. - (Rain)water - Comfrey (whole plants) - Dandelion leaves - Roots and leaves from the earlier grow - Minor periwinkle (Finca minor) is a plant we have in our garden, it contains an alkaloid that is associated with increased brain function but also is a light toxin for wee beasties and other unwanted guests like gnats (who hate it). - When flowering I add some wood ash to this mix Thank you for checking in on one of my grows again! Thanks for all the love on my previous grow, check it out if you haven't seen it!! Hug Bud

Well I have 6 little seedlings that sprouted looking happy and healthy.Going to give just plain water once the pots dry up a bit more.Ill add Gaia green 4,4,4 top dressing with a shot of recharge in a few days after these seedlings are stronger.Se7000 set at 30 percent power and is raised to the ceiling.I prefer to do this over lowering the lights and intensity and not being able to walk around and work in the ⛺️.Day 4 added a 1 inch layer of farm farm ocean forest and I’ll water plain ph tap water when the pots are dry.Also placed some pins and anchors to tie down branches for when the girls are ready for training :)

Week 6 expecting some bud sites to appear soon, tied a few of the branches down to try spread some light through her she’s responded quite nicely I think, having some trouble with the temps as my tent is made up of duct tape and some reflective material I found on site, managing to keep it around 23•c will do for now hope you growers enjoy!!

DE: In der siebten Blütewoche drehen beide Last Dance-Phänotypen noch einmal richtig auf – alles wirkt reifer, intensiver und massiver als zuvor. Die Struktur verdichtet sich spürbar, die Knospen schwellen weiter an, werden fester und schimmern immer stärker im Trichom-Überzug. Die Pflanzen wirken, als hätten sie genau jetzt ihren finalen Gang eingelegt. Phänotyp 1 – Der „Black Magic Funker“ Dieser Phäno zeigt jetzt eine derbe Reifephase: Die Farben vertiefen sich in ein dunkles Waldgrün bis purpurne Schatten, die besonders an den Sugar Leaves sichtbar werden. Die Buds wirken schwer und kompakt, jeder einzelne Kelch scheint sich maximal aufgebläht zu haben. Der Harzfilm ist mittlerweile so dick, dass selbst die Blattkanten weiß überzogen wirken. Aromatisch hat der Funk jetzt ein neues Niveau erreicht: Schwere, gassige Noten treffen auf dunkelbeerige Würze. Beim leichten Reiben der Buds steigt dir direkt dieser „Black-Magic-Punch“ in die Nase – schwer, tief, fast schon betäubend. Genau diese Phase entscheidet oft, ob ein Cut später eine *Elite-Vibrationsnote* bekommt – und dieser Phäno hat diese Energie ganz klar. Phänotyp 2 – Der „Zangria Dream“ Der fruchtigere Phäno geht jetzt optisch und aromatisch voll im Zangria-Spektrum auf. Die Buds glänzen mit deutlich sichtbaren Lilatönen, teilweise sogar leicht pinken Akzenten zwischen den Kelchen. Das Gesamtbild wirkt ästhetisch, süß und absolut fotogen. Aroma-Update in Woche 7: Die Süße wird dicker, saftiger, konzentrierter. Was vorher ein frischer Beerenton war, erinnert jetzt eher an eine Mischung aus Trauben-Limonade, Kirschsirup und reifem Tropenfrucht-Funk. Die Intensität steigt deutlich – schon beim Öffnen des Zelts kommt dir eine süß-fruchtige Wolke entgegen. Gesamteindruck Blütewoche 7: Die Pflanzen stehen unter voller Last. Die Buds sind geschwollen, schwer und kleben aneinander wie Harzbomben. Die Farben intensivieren sich, die Trichome werden milchiger und beginnen leicht amberfleckig zu werden – ein Hinweis, dass die Finishing-Phase eingeläutet ist. Beide Phänotypen zeigen jetzt kristallklar ihre Richtung: Phäno 1: tief, funky, gassig, schwer – brutal potent. Phäno 2: süß, fruchtig, saftig – komplex und extrem angenehm. Woche 7 ist die Phase, in der du merkst: Das hier sind keine normalen Seeds – das sind echte Showcase-Phänotypen. EN Week seven marks a full power surge for both Last Dance phenotypes – everything becomes denser, louder, heavier. The buds swell visibly, resin production is immense, and the plants look like they're entering their final, most expressive stretch. Phenotype 1 – The “Black Magic Funker” The colors deepen into dark green with shadowy purples. The nugs are rock-solid, swollen, and completely coated in frost. The aroma intensifies massively: heavy gas, dark berries, deep spicy funk. It’s that unmistakable “Black-Magic punch” that hits you the moment you touch it. Phenotype 2 – The “Zangria Dream This one shows bright lilac tones and pinkish accents between the calyxes. The sweetness thickens and becomes syrupy – grape soda, cherry nectar, tropical candy funk. Opening the tent releases an unmistakably fruity cloud. Overall Week seven brings explosive swelling, richer colors, milky trichomes, and a terpene expression that makes both phenos feel like true elite candidates.

Easy week, lowered my PPM feeds to 350ish (6.9ph), runoff is slightly higher at 390(6.6ph) I have decreased the temperature to the space a few more degrees, night time temperatures as low as 56 degrees but generally around 57-58 degrees farenheit. The plant is starting to show alot of signs for the final weeks of flowering. Sugar leaves yellowing at bottom foliage, the foliage exposed to the light is turning blueish, purplish, blackish sugar leaves. Only 1 plant is showing the color changes, I assume the other plant is a phenotype with different percentages.

Ola 🙂... the two sisters grow up very well ... first time I try them.. the seeds were given to me by the boy from the grow shop, after buy some Barney's seeds .. With them, under the 205 BD LED light, there is also the sister, who can actually find in the diary SUPER SOIL LED (if you want to see the differences) 😉... 5th week started by giving him a nice lunch based on banana macerate (10 days to macerate), about 0.5 in 1.5l h2o .. pH I never check it when I am using a ready-made soil .. the water I use is quite good and does not contain chlorine (fundamental in organic) .. it has a pH always around 6.5 / 7.5 and is ok ... afterwards I only gave h2o to drink for once, again without letting it come out of the bottom of the vase .. two days after treacle-based sweet like the past week .. this time I gave 1 teaspoon apiece (they will be about 5ml, I think, but that's okay) in 1.5l h2o ... time after still water .. and today, Friday 27th, I finely chopped a bit of barley malt and I made a top dressing, wetting with water in mix with 3ml topmax for 3l h2o, to increase the malt action .. I see just one or two thrips every now and then, but I'm under control .. I have not used anything to drive them out .. only the fan always on and the humidity left slightly higher ... They start to smell good and very sticky too .. I don't know how to describe the aroma at the moment .. sweet .. but complex .. we'll see .. hi, thanks for the time 🙏 and tell me if you like it ... See you next week😉✌️

We have prepared the ground with Easy Boost following the indications on the quantity and using the official vessel found in the contest package. For germination we used Easy start but we put the germination cube directly in the ground because we do not like very much the pouring with the small and delicate seedling. The baby was born little late but she go very good, see you next week.
