My Rainbow Saltz plant has some lighter green leaves, so I gave it a dose of calcium this week, hoping they'll darken up. One of the branches wasn't keeping up, so I pruned it off. Now the shape of the plant is perfect for fitting against the wall in the tent. It's been a challenging week with the constant rain and ridiculously high humidity. Keeping things dry indoors has been a real struggle. Despite the weather, I managed to flip all my feminized photoperiod plants to flower this week. I'm hoping the switch will go smoothly, but with this humidity, it's going to be tough.

This two were part of another diary and got moved out due to space reasons at VW8 and moved back indoors at VW20 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/218151-auto-god-s-glue-grow-journal-by-yan402 13.09.25 VW21 Both are looking good and are developing tighter nodes than when they were outside, I'm going to have to keep cutting them back every once and a while I also applied nematodes against thrips and fungus gnats. 20.09.25 VW22 some spots and some yellow leafs, I think it's a root problem, probably root bound, but both seem healthy and are getting thicker so maybe just top up with Coco coir and give a slight different nutrient schedule less Tri Part Bloom could do the trick MAYBE lol. 27.09.25 VW23 Topped up the pots with extra coco coir and trimmed the side roots a bit, both plants were root bound ๐Ÿ“น 03.10.25 VW23 did a HST/LST session ๐Ÿ“น 12.10.25 VW25 Done a major HST session to try and keep them in line with the Sunset Sherbet GF I have going in the same tent, rest in the video ๐Ÿ“น 17.10.25 VW25 ffj/fpj/fish 30 โ†’ 60 ml 19.10.25 VW26 it just became a one plant diary, keeping #5, #6 gets it's own diary for testing nutrients. 20.10.25 VW26(?)

5/10-Last week went well. She is still growing like crazy! The clones are growing super fast also. I can't imagine what it will do once put into the ground. It's a super drinker and is a very vigorous grower. It takes all forms of training with ease such as topping, lst and supercropping. Hope it's a colorful plant so it will look nice when done. Will be going outside in the next 2-3 weeks from today. Until next time happy growing to everyone!

35 days in Bloom, the Bruce Banner lady may be a bit smaller, but the buds sheโ€™s producing are epic. Theyโ€™re already completely covered in resin, and a sweet scent of strawberries is starting to emerge. Watering has been kept simple with just dark molasses and microbes. ๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿ€

Hello everyone! I am proud to announce that I have been asked to grow a seed of choice from Kannabia. My choice fell on the Break up cake auto strain. Strain info https://www.kannabia.com/en/autoflowering-cannabis-seeds/break-up-cake-auto I hope you will enjoy this new grow just like I will do. Let's set another record for this strain, just like with the previous strain.๐Ÿ‘Œ ENVIROMENT: Light schedule : 24/0 Humidity : 60% Soilmoisture : 42% Temp : 26 Celsius Week 3 She is 25 cm high ( counted from Lightweight Expanded Clay : height 3cm || soil to top is 28cm total ) now and looks healthy so far so good. 500ml of water every 24h Increased co2 1100 PPM - 1150 PPM The temperature & humidity on the little screen is with my tent open. So it does not reflect the reality. Who am i ? until last november i have always grown hydro for a little over 11 years. But growing started to look more and more like work because i was more busy with programming my controllers for the ph / humidity / lights / co2 / temperature. Also the realization that i have 2 children and my own house made me nervous for the authorities because where i live growing is not allowed. So i decided to grow smaller where i previously had 200x180x200 space i opted for 70x70x160 with the result that i can only grow 1 strain at a time. The intention is to remain self-sufficient in this way and still be able to exchange or give away something here and there at a party. Although I am sponsored I will not be able to grow every strain because not every strain can deliver the result I need to remain self-sufficient. If you know of an auto strain or photo strain that takes at least 11 to 15 weeks I would like to know so that I can grow it in the future and of course I will try to set a record for that grown strain. Because during the 4 grows that I can do per year I can only try to achieve a record since I cannot show you multiple strains at once. I am happy that after 11 years I have found growdiaries and that I have met you my friends. Greetings MonyetDiablero.

Week 3: Vegetative Stage โ€“ Training, Defoliation, and Entering Full Flower The Apricot Autos have really taken off this week. Iโ€™ve been doing a little defoliation here and there, but over the course of training and tucking, I sometimes get a little heavy-handed and manage to break the odd leaf. Even with these occasional slips (you can see it in the pics), the plants are still shaping up nicely and getting huge, though not as much as my previous grow, which was also Fast Buds autos. By the end of the week, the plants have started to noticeably stretch, which Iโ€™m happy about since it makes them easier to train. At this stage, I like to train using mental pegs, gardening wire, and leaf tucking. I rarely remove any leaves until I have a clearer idea of the plantโ€™s final shape, which did evolve quickly this week, prompting me to take action. On day 27, one of the plants is entering full flower, while the one with the misshapen leaf is a couple of days behind. The difference between the two is becoming less noticeable, although one is still bigger. Current Setup: Medium: 70/30 coco/perlite mix with Great White Mycorrhizae added during transplant Lights: DLI set to 22 Nutrients: Big Plant Science (introduced midweek) Despite breaking a leaf or two during training, both plants are progressing well, with flowering now fully underway.

Nov 20 - Watered Older plant at 8.30AM. Both plants are bulking up nicely. I think this will be the last week before they get the chop! Also Defoliated wilted leaves and burnt tips. Nov 21 - Cloudier trichomes, amber heads and some decapitated stalks. In harvest window. Just want the youngest colas to develop a bit further. Nov 22 - Watered Younger Plant at 10AM, defoliated wilted leaves as usual. Should water Older Plant today with some defoliation. There are more wilted leaves on older plant. Senescence started on Younger plant approximately a week ago and is prevalent on a few top colas on Younger Plant. Nov 23 - Older Plant watered at 9.30AM. Likely underwatered by half a day or so. Trichomes are still glassy. Nov 24 - Observed older plant trichomes, they're mainly cloudy with some amber. I will likely chop the older plant tomorrow morning. I'll give the younger plant another week and will water today - as GD member outlined pistil development is not finalized. Nov 25 - Chopped older plant at 5AM, trying to limit light. She's suspended upside down on a wire that I'm 50% sure will hold. Drying environment is Fridge set to 60F with roughly 60RH. Nov 26 - Harvested at 5AM. Plant fell down a couple times upside down due to poor rail made of gardening wire. I switched to paper bags which should be better for humidity control too. A very rough almost unperceivable wet trim left colas weighing at approximately 130g. Watered Younger plant at 8PM.

I am very satisfied with the germination that took place in a few days. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ช This week I will continue to keep an eye on the development of the plant to prevent it from stretching too much in the first weeks. ๐Ÿ” I use BioBizz Light soil which for the first few weeks manages to provide enough nutrients, so I will water with a little water every day, to keep the humidity a little higher, without running the risk of overwatering. ๐ŸŒŠโŒ

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/ ๐Ÿ‘ˆ 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. Donโ€™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 as you can see I'm playing with these ladies a lot now ..They are both on week 7 the smaller CBD was just put into a bigger pot and will be stretched out a bit then left to reach right up for the sky not looking for big gains with this one but we shall see.. The blue cheese she is my baby and living the good life .. she has been trained nicely and will be left to go straight up as well as with in reason I do have neighbours .. The team at Dinafem were my first plants to ever run and I've been running them ever since love the genetics so much
