For a first time grower, the SCROG is definitely a bitch and a half... But worth it once you see 75-80% of your tent filled with buds, praying upwards to the light. Thankfully, they have slowed down vertically. So no more twice a day SCROG adjustments for a while --- hopefully anyway. I'm having a hard time with lowering RH. Although a fellow grower has suggested not to worry with RH as long as you apply BT bacteria... True? Any advice on RH management on late flower stage for a noob? I'm always willing to learn! Happy growing everyone! May your plants be merry and happy! 🌿 🌱 😎 NOOB GROWER THOUGHTS, WEEK 7 -- GrowDiaries along with other online forums on growing are filled with helpful individuals who are generous with their time. But maaan, sometimes you really come across people who take this shit waaaay too seriously. Lol! Reddit, here, autoflower network... Everywhere! I suppose that's true in any community. You will always have people of that same ilk. Just funny... I thought wine snobs were bad... GrowSnobs are worse!!!! Have you ever encountered a GrowSnob?

Diese Woche wird weiter heruntergefahren. Die Pflanze braucht nun nicht mehr so viele Nährstoffe wie in den Wochen zuvor! Übrige Salzablagerungen werden jetzt gelöst, das führt zu einem Drift im Ph, weshalb ich mein Wasser nun auf ph5,6 senke. Inzwischen sieht es wieder besser aus, die Zkittlez nimmt wieder Nährstoffe auf und die Symptome verstärken sich nicht mehr. EC Drain - 1,5mS, Ph 6,5

Week 3 flower with the 40L pots

In my opinion, the best moment for every farmer is approaching the final stages of flowering😍 This week, in addition to flowering supplements, I also used Bio Enhancer Feeding fertilizer at 1 g / l water🔥🔥💧💧 It is difficult to get it in my country, of course, and I bought one of these genetics (Cakes N Inhouse Genetics) for nearly $ 50.🛸🛸 And in this week, among these genetics that I have, cakes n cream is another thing and it is much better quality

Week 7 of flower in the books and we’ve had to adjust to the height issues in an attempt to salvage what we can of the largest mains on the cheese. Really should’ve done this 2 weeks ago and while it’d be preferable not to supercrop this late in flower - there really wasn’t a choice. It was done early in the week and the plant is none the worse for wear. On the whole, the nute burn issue has been rectified and while the damage isn’t massive, it’s still really obvious. For all the above reasons, We’re really not going to get that late flower look with this plant. Kinda sad there. Otherwise, the plants have begun to colour up and were quickly coming in to the harvest window. At this rate it looks like the gorilla cookies and cherry Bomb will go off first, with the cheese to follow and the lemon haze last. The GC is absolutely covered in trichs. We expect a great finish for this one. She’s unlike any pheno I’ve seen on here - ducksfooted with a pineapple shape to her heads but again, got it where it counts. The cherry Bomb is similar but also true to her description - huge cherry diesel scent coming off this plant. She’s chunky and sticky too so very pleased she’s made something of herself. The lemon haze is developing And rounding out slower. Trich production is moderate and I suspect she’s got a week longer than the rest. We’re getting there - maybe a week to 10 days. Almost time for jazz hands👍😎. 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.

I have not been at home too much this week so theres not too many photos but im flushing right now just counting down the days to chop this plant down! I have a problem with foxtails due to my tent not being high enough to raise the lights but thats fine.... ill get a new tent pretty soon ( This is my first Indoor grow! thats why im still learning about lights and all that.. I used to grow outdoors so my indoor and autoflower techniques still in baby steps

She looks wonderfully beautiful and vert healthy,she just like her sisters has started flower on August 3rd let's see how she performs,I'm loving this strain Black cherry punch so far! 🔝💚

She is smelling up! I think I stressed her out...there are ball shapes near where the bud is at.

I’m going to end this grow diary here. During the later stage, I went through a mental breakdown and kind of lost focus on life for a while. I’ll upload whatever photos I still have, but I didn’t get my friend to help take proper photos because he was dealing with military conscription at that time. I feel genuinely sorry to the sponsors who provided the seeds. I promised to complete the grow diary for them, and I broke that promise. I tried to save some branches, but they didn’t survive. I don’t have any excuses for this. If I get another chance in the future, I’ll buy their seeds myself and grow them again properly

Mr. Pipi doesn´t want to wait any longer. Day 124 07.04.24 Mr. Pipi is on the hunt for the Trichomes. The amber ones occure more often. It´s gettin milky...few more Days then Mr. Pipi´s patience will end :D

Grow Diary Update: Northern Light Sisters - Week 11 The autoflower girls are hitting a spectacular stride here in week 11 as they push hard into their flowering phase. For the height check on our shorter, low-profile lady Makayla, the tape measure shows she is holding steady right around 15 and a half inches. She is focusing her energy on filling out dense side branching rather than stretching skyward. Meanwhile, our taller, Christmas tree-shaped sister Charlotte is stretching up higher, measuring right around 17.5 to 18 inches, positioned right next to her companion strawberry trap crop. The bud development across both plants is coming along beautifully. A close look at the stacking structure shows white pistils reaching out as the flowers begin to swell and pack on mass. The frosty trichome production is starting to look prominent across the sugar leaves, which is even clearer in the macro shots. Looking at the full profile of the main plant layout, you can see how neatly she sits in her fabric pot with the custom automated irrigation manifold loop keeping the organic root zone perfectly damp. The African marigolds are doing their job right at the base. The stacking on the upper half of the main cola is looking incredibly dense, showing magnificent node spacing. Finally, looking at the crown of the main bloom, the resin production is accelerating rapidly, giving the calyxes a beautiful, sticky appearance as we head deeper into peak bloom.

I went ahead and transferred this week I also decided to start up my out door project things are looking good clones are Adapting well to new systems

The flowers have started to swell and increase in size nicely. She's not stretching much, so I guess, these 18cm will be it. She's getting a really shimmery purple colour. I tried capturing it in a video. I removed some of the older leaves to optimize for light and optimized fertilizer for bud size (Hi PLAGRON Alga Bloom!). Give us all your CBD goodness, purple lady!

Feedings during this period were alternated with water and calmag+. Everything ph'd to 6.5. Started watching my VPD. I try to keep it above 1 and below 1.6
