It's been 55 days of flower now and The gals are still loving the fc4800 and their new 8x8 mars hydro grow tent as much as I do👍 leaves are sticking straight up towards the light. Love how easy the zippers are to open and close. Nice and strong and guaranteed to last. It has extra material on the backside of the zipper that helps for light leaksand enough ports and vents for anything you need in it👍. the tsw2000 is still going strong and is also a very good light. Its been going almost nonstop for 6 months and still working the same as when I got it👍. not much heat off both lights but the fc4800 is alot cooler and the heat-sinks work extremely well. I have it daisy chained to the tsw2000 and 1 dimmer controls the other and i don't need to be reaching in too far to dim the other light, it's awesome and I can't wait to buy more lights to daisy 4 together👍. I would recommend this light to everyone that grows with leds and have trouble with temperatures getting too high. Even if you grow with HPS lights I think any mars hydro light is a MUST TRY. I like how heavy both lights are because I know it means they are built soild and strong 💪. Very good sign with the frost they are starting to get thanks to bith mars hydro lights. I can notice more frost under the fc4800 and I'm thinking it's from the UV DIODES they put on the fc4800 👍. 2 days ago they all smelt like my nuken, sweet marshmallows. But now I can smell the monkey dough and gorilla glue and skunk monkey coming through👍. I touched a bud on the gorilla and monkey fingers smelt like fruit loops👍 really pleasant smell. Lingered on my fingers for atleast 30 min. I'm glad mars hydro is under priced compared to some brands and for how popular they are. usually companies would charge more. Thanks mars you guys are awesome 🤘🥁🎸. I'm getting a new exhaust fan soon. An 8 inch that will work alot better than my 4 inch lol. Wayyy to small for a 8x8 Grow Tent. Dehumidifier is going almost non stop to try and get the humidity down. I love how both lights on 100% power only raise my temperature 2 or 3 degrees 👍. You can rest your hand on the lights and not much heat comes off them. Obviously there is some heat but for the brightness of the lights and only raising the temp that much is awesome 👌.  And if I wanted to I could remove the driver from the fc4800 and run it on the outside of my tent because the cord is so long but 2 or 3 degrees is barely nothing👍. The girls are starting to bulk up abit now and only 3 weeks of flowering, these lights are awesome 👌.  My last run of monkey dough and gorilla glue didn't start showing alot of crystals until week 4. These were only 2.5 weeks and I started noticing some frost. Next week I will be able to tell more about what these custom bred seeds will be like. I love how the smell is changing now. Didn't want all them to smell like nuken marshmallows lol. It's awesome that I can get right inside the tent to do any work i need👍. Even if I wanted an 4x8 tent. I'd rather this 8x8 because it's so easy to work with the plants and have so much room to move around and massive headroom when I'm in there chillin with the gals🤣🤘.

It is getting real bushy in there and i have some thirsty plants. Tent is getting pretty packed and the stretch is on. I might have to water almost everyday, I suspect them to be on the edge of rootbound. Should have went with 14 liter pots or might even 18. Smell is amazing and they are starting to get sticky when i pick fan leaves. Defoliation is coming at the end of next week tho. But it is really bushy i have been picking tons of leaves so far. Tempted to strip them sooner than 21 days into flower but we will see.

Lessons learned from week 1 of my first grow so far: the best watering solution I found so far is a mix of distilled water from the store and filtered tap water. with a final ph of 6 and ppm of 20-40. a little ph buffer goes a bloody long way. Use with caution. performing tasks like mixing solution and potting a germinated seed are best performed without a phone (camera) in one hand. the seed germinated within 24 hours using paper towels. I planted after 36 hours. After 24 hours of potting, the stem was already shooting up, and I turned on the lights, set to an 18 hour schedule. I wasn't quite ready for this, so it took me some time to research and get the desired humidity and temperature. At this point I added more nutrient in even quantities of FloraGro, FloraMicro, and FloraBloom, according to instructions. Perhaps a little early though, although after just one 18 hour light cycle this plant is shooting up like a rocket and showing leaves. I bought a fan for the inside of the tent and propped it up on a box, and a humidifier to bring the humidity from 40-50% to around 70%. Since it's a winter grow, I have to periodically increase the temperature to keep it at 25 °C. The intake fan, humidifier, and inside fan are significantly lowering the temperature. I'm also experimenting with finding the right humidifier settings since the humidity seems to increase a lot when the lights go out, and the machine is still new.

Great start for week 10 did some defoliation,they look so happy and healthy, I had issues with the plants they responded well to LST and defoliation. I make sure to remove some leaves here and there. The most important thing to me me in this stage is to make sure they have perfect airflow.

Second week of flower went well. The plant has over double the size at this point and we have early signs buds forming within the second week. Continuing to keep the light about 12 to 14 in above the canopy as the plant stretches. Plants are getting really bushy will prepare for a day 21 leaf strip to clear out the canopy and to allow for air flow while dropping humidity. Will also try to implement a second scrog for support.Currently The single seed Sent from khalifa for grow Contest is tallest pheno in the tent and healthiest looking that pheno will show on the top right in any of the disclosed pictures and videos.

Por el momento solo estamos aplicando Bases Connosseur Grow. La fotografia de esta semana es la del ejemplar mas alto, cerca de los 18cm, no es un espigamiento; mas bien parece que es un ejemplar "grande" solamente, ademas es el ejemplar que mas consume agua. Adjunto video donde se aprecia junto a otra variedad de original sensible.

Hey guys! This week my pheno #1 was harvested after 12 days of flush. I forgot to mention that I've been flushing her before the others because she matured her trichomes earlier. She also started to flower a little more than a week before so I was expecting it. :) It was a good run for her I think, ended up with some dense buds that are drying in my dyi dry box, because I still have two other plants running in the tent. My house smells good 👍 I thought about doing the flush in the other two like I said last week, but watching their trichomes development I gave them one more week of feeding, because I think they still have some bulking to do. About the harvest of #1: I've ended up with 334g wet weight, and I will share all the photos and data in the harvest week with all together. Some of the buds are so frosty and they have like small resin balls that dripped from some parts! I've never seen this before in any grow of mine, but I've seen this at another diary here from the same strain. What a pleasant surprise! Have you all a great week, Felix ✌️

Transitioned to flower changed my metal halide 600w bulb to my HPS 600w bulb put the LEDs to 100% an switch the COB bloom setting on, starting my flowering nutrient feed rotation. Keeping it stupid simple this time around taking the advice of some of y'all on here as well as seeing checking others who have grown the exact strains I'm growing from the same seed companies, looking at their methods and looking closely at the ones that came out good obviously can't repeat their process exactly but it's a great uhh what's the word. shit.. reference?? I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for... But yeah just having examples and adding new tools or methods adding onto my notes, but yeah exciting week ahead I'm gunna have to organize the tent more so I can make sure they have enough room as they start to stretch outward.
