This iteration had its fair share of issues, and has lived through its veg phase without proper lights. It had its tip accidentally ripped off which seemed to boost growth in all secondary branches, which aligned well with the LST. The harvest was sizable for a noob, and the taste is pretty amazing

Week 5 Report: White OG – Thriving After Topping! 🌟 Another week, another chapter in the White OG’s journey—and what a resilient beauty she’s turning out to be! Following last week’s topping, she’s bounced back like a champ, showing us just how strong she is. While the temperatures dipped a little this week, she’s staying steady and pushing through like a true survivor. 🌱✨ Growth Update: Recovery in Full Swing After being topped at node 7 last week, she’s been focusing all her energy on lateral growth, with new shoots emerging beautifully. Her structure is looking strong and balanced, with all signs pointing to a bushier, more productive plant in the weeks ahead. While the room’s been a little chilly, with temperatures around 18°C and RH at 60%, she’s adapting well. These slightly cooler conditions are giving her an opportunity to build resilience while still maintaining steady progress. Nutrients: All-in-One Pellets Taking Charge This week marks a small but important change in her feeding routine: I’ve paused the use of All-in-One Liquid, as the Aptus Holland All-in-One Pellets are now fully kicking in. Why Stop the Liquid Feed? The slow-release pellets are designed to provide consistent nutrition over time, reducing the need for additional liquid feeds. They’re packed with everything she needs to thrive during this vegetative stage. Of course, if I notice she’s asking for a little extra love, I’ll bring the liquid feed back into the rotation. Room Conditions: Staying Steady Even with a slight dip in temperature, the room remains an ideal environment for her vegetative stage: • Temperature: Around 18°C—on the cooler side, but manageable. • Humidity: A stable 60% RH keeps her comfortable and prevents unnecessary stress. • Lighting: The Future of Grow (FOG) LED continues at 200 PPFD, delivering steady, compact growth with no signs of stretching or stress. These conditions ensure she’s getting the balance she needs to continue recovering and thriving. Looking Ahead: Strength and Structure As we move into Week 6, I’ll be keeping a close eye on her continued recovery and lateral growth. Her bushy structure is already forming beautifully, and I’m excited to see how she uses her energy to fill out and prepare for future training and flowering stages.

🌱 Semana 5 de cultivo: ¡Se notan los cambios! 🌱 Esta semana fue clave: cambiamos las plantas de carpa a una más adecuada para su tamaño, ya que ¡han crecido muchísimo! Se nota que están en plena etapa de desarrollo, no solo por su tamaño, sino también por su apetito: están pidiendo más agua que antes. Como desde el inicio hemos estado aportando fertilizantes, en estos últimos riegos decidí usar solo agua con pH controlado y una EC muy baja. Esto me permite equilibrar el sustrato y evitar una sobre-fertilización, que en esta etapa podría ser contraproducente. Todo va viento en popa, y las plantas están respondiendo muy bien. Seguimos atentos y con muchas ganas de ver cómo evolucionan en esta etapa. ¡Nos vemos la próxima semana con más avances! 🌿💧✨

Day 35 is first Day with 12-12 ger. I get the lights at 60 cm above top of plants with 700 ppfd. About 50% and sprayt them with Neem oil. Placed ScroG net Day 36 lights at 828 PPFD Day 37 lights at 884 PPFD Day 38 lights at 890 PPFD, Distance 66cm Day 39 lights at 890 PPFD Day 40 lights at 890 PPFD One of my females is al little bit smaller. I tryd too feed her with some Alga Grow too see if she becomes more happy. I hope so.

She grows up fast and eats well. I think she's probably starting to lack micronutrients tip that starts to yellow. 😐

Hola a todos!! Esta semana prácticamente no he fertilizado, ya que luego de un breve lavado note que los valores de ppm aun seguía siendo alto..(1700...1800), entonces segui regando solo con agua, con bajas ppm 500 ppm aprox. Recien ayer logre bajar las ppm , no asi el ph, del drenaje, me viene dando 7.2, pero a pesar de todos estos inconvenientes, a la planta se la ve bien. En esta semana se estiro 20 cms, pero los cogollos aun están flacos y sin resina, pero en características generales esta bien. El lavado lo hice el día 44 con 7 litros de agua con ph 6 y ppm 500, luego de un buen rato de drenaje medi y en ese entonces parecían haberse corregidos, pero al siguiente riego dia 46( lo hice con 2lts de agua) me volvió a dar valores altos. Para no generar un mal ambiente para la planta, la deja descansar 2 días, y ayer (dia48) volvi a regar y al fin las ppm han bajado a 900, el ph aun sigue dando alto, pero como mencione antes la planta demuestra que cualquier inexperto la puede cultivar, porque se aguanta todo ese stress😅😅 . El video corresponde al día 49(01/10).

Ehi ragazzi come potete vedere anche questa ragazza sta crescendo più che bene! Grandi foglie e nuovi internodi e diramazioni si sono sviluppate dall ultima settimana, sono più che soddisfatto di come è in grande salute nonostante abbia toppato due volte, mi aspetto un buon numero di cime più o meno della stessa grandezza e produzione, mi aspetto tanto dalla solita qualità che Barney'S Farm offre da decenni ormai! Buon 420 a tutti ringrazio Mars Hydro come al solito che ha reso tutto ciò possibile e tutti voi che mi seguite, spero che che vi piacciono le mie ragazs quanto a me! 💪✌️😸😎🙏🌲💖

Hi

Almost there. Amber trichomes are starting to appear. Pretty sure it looks like that because of something I did or didn't do and has nothing to do with the name. Very interesting strain to grow.

All plants have had some good form, kinda perfect

So now is the 16th day. This week the weather was rather bad!! Alfa boost has gone all out and couped a little too much N. but she is still young and will cope with it... in my opinion a bit behind but the weather should finally get better and become more consistent. the rain has now quite saturated the soil so that I had to cover the pot with foil to avoid overwatering. I ask for sun and a little dung... roots in the small pot had arrived at the bottom, are OK not lush but healthy and bemyzelt... hope she accelerates the next few days otherwise the bucket was a bit too big. will see.

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. 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.

Smells amazing, buds are greesy to the touch…serious genetics from fast buds!

The ICE is almost done; the NL doesn’t even seem close. Interesting since ICE sprouted a day later than the NL.

Had concerns over damping off towards start of the week as seedlings tall leggy and leaning over, reduced light height to 8 inches and increased power to 60%. Last time I grew autos the light was a lot lower and whilst good yield nice smoke they were very bushy and short and stocky so experimenting a little with light height this time to increase spacing between nodes, 20 inches was way too far, being careful though as lights 450w, brill light spider farmer but gotta watch power a bit. The drop in light height and introduction of small fan making the plants wobble slightly has dramatically improved their strength and thankfully no damping off. Extraction fan on permanently set to 1 or two so low settings, nice air flow. Also sealed a couple light leaks so plants are getting their restorative darkness for 6 hours a day and overall touch wood looking fit and healthy. Pleased with the amount of growth after two weeks. Very light touch with nutes and watering at mo, .4 litre daily with root juice and bio heaven promote healthy organic soil. Fingers crossed so far so good. Happy growing all. :)

Love this shit
