Germination stage was kicked off fairly quick. After 1 complete day the seeds had cracked and produced small tap roots. The very next day(April 27th which was a Wednesday) I planted about an inch - inch and a half into the soil. A few days later (Saturday morning April 30th) the Lemon Shining Silver Haze was the first to come above soil. Bluematic came up later in the day/evening.

27/08/25 - Watered 3L Ph 5.95
28/08/25 - Super busy today luckily the girls have enough water to keep them going until tomorrow. Spiderfarmer delivered my free cable organiser or whatever you would call it 😆 Thought it would be pointless but I can see how its going to improve my space and allow better cable management. Ill use this board to control both tents 3x3 using Ac infinity then the 4x2 using the GGS controller when it arrives 😸
29/08/25 - Watered 3.5L Ph 6.0

Plans this week: new bluelab guardian connect coming (ph/ec/temp monitor for the reservoir tank) I think I’ll finally mount things neatly on the wall. More pruning the lower canopy; and some low stress training maybe. I hope the flowers keep maturing and start really gaining some girth this week. I’m excited and hopeful but a bit scared of the pk booster and overall nutrient level/EC increase - I’ll keep watch for nutrient lockout etc. Other: Utility sink/drain/water line install I hope. This grow is taking up all my “project time” - Hopefully I can finally spend some time on my arcade cabinet project starting this week.
The plants didn’t get light for 37 hours the other day (6/23?) . I had removed the lights to build the frame. I thought I had everything ready for a quick swap. And then I got sick; daughter’s car broke down; my plan for the light frame wouldn’t work; I ran out of angle aluminum; and did I mention I got sick. Anyway they missed only one 12 hour light period plus 1 extra hour (plus their normal dark periods before and after- so that’s how I calculate 37 hours) They actually seemed to mature and redden a bit faster with the extra darkness. Gotta think positive.
Upgraded the tent! (6/24/19) It’s now a hydropolis 3x3 “plus size” (extra few inches bigger all around and 8 inches taller than my old vivosun) - much nicer. Wow what a tough job. Very tight space in my room. This is way too late to be moving plants to a new tent - but sliding the old removable tent bottom with all four plants and scrog all at once over to the new tent wasn’t as bad as I feared. Setting up the whole tent again and moving everything was a pain in the ass though.
I did a little pruning of the back side of the plants which I hadn’t gotten to in a while - some dead leaves under the scrog mostly. I wonder if all this trim (from recent days too) is gonna yield any amount of even sorta decent bubble hash. I’ll freeze it and try.
I hope they like their new home. I did a lot of the swap and setup with the lights totally off in my basement and using only a green headlamp. Argh.
I partially failed in my effort to make a complete aluminum frame. I didn’t include the 4 solstix in the frame. But I did make a frame for the two HLG 135s - I re-hung the solstix individually and with their lame individual drivers that are underpowered (I’ll get to the the rewiring and driver replacement one of these days)- I added the far red puck, and I finally added the new HLG QB36 UVA (I’ll try it for the first time tomorrow - with sunglasses on!) - update: tried it. Seems pretty sweet - wish I had some directions or some idea if I should only be using only one stick like I am or the entire 4 that I think they sent me in error.
I’ve got a reasonable amount of space between my lights and top of canopy now (15+ inches) - if the damn stretch is finally done I might be ok. I really shoulda flipped sooner like everyone warned me. Live and learn.
The utility sink/drain line/water line is still not installed - so I’m still carrying water up and down stairs which sucks.
I’ll use pk13/14 this week after this rez tank empties and I give it a good cleaning in a day or so. I’ll also continue to use mammoth p and all the other nutes. - ok tank cleaned and making a new soup for feeding later today (pk 13/14 started on 6/25/19 11:30pm - I plan to use it for 7 days??)
I changed the drain/waste bucket to a small bin - and placed it inside the tent — it works well with the condensate pump- so tomorrow I’ll drill holes in it, install grommets and run the drain lines to it permanently - which will be much better than the 5 gallon bucket sitting outside the tent in my small space - plus the gravity drain lines were a pain coming out of the tent and I had to weigh them down to keep their height below 2.5” - now it’ll be just one pumped line. - ok done. I drilled a bit too fast and cracked two of the holes. Siliconed it for now- I’ll replace the little bucket this week or next - it’s fine for now. (6/25/19) So much better! - now no more gallons of water weighing down the drain lines and no more drain lines coming out of the tent - except for the single pumped line that goes out the standard tent hole. And so much neater in the tent etc. Woot!
Pretty happy with this grow. Going to either reveg 1 and pop s2 for next or do all s2. Absolute 0 herm through all flower and all plants.
Chopped them. Will try to reveg 2
I am very baked

Any advise anyone what’s goin on here gpt asked it about half a dozen times says is not mold but is frost I looked it under loop it looks like icy shit but when I flake the leaves it goes everywhere !? lol
Good evening to all growers! In the photos and in the video it is not noticeable but with little space it takes a bit of effort to work and I broke a possible apical D:! (it was small but still it was nice developed)... These plants have grown a lot developing green matter, now I hope to be able to do the same for the flowers
Hello my friends,
I think it's my last week fertilizer,
Plant still healthy and love fertilizer ,😍😍,
I'll start flush in 1 week,
I think harvest in 2 or 3 week,
Trychromes start to be full milky
Have a good week,
Thanks for like and following 🤗🤗🤗
So since I had the mold and bud rot problems I had to divide my schedule of harvest and divide the product as well.
- Healthy buds are ones belonging to branches where there are no signs of rot/mold.
-Mid-healthy buds are untouched by disease but still belonging to a branch where there was some disease.
-Last category are the salvaged ones, where I cut them from bigger buds that had disease or they were in some part affected.
These 3 categories each have their own drying space and where harvested in this order to prevent spreading of spores and stuff. For the salvaged buds every time I removed a part with disease I cleaned the scissors with alcohol.
I only removed the sun-leaves + penguin leaves and will be doing a dry trim for the sugar leaves later on.
DAY 57 :
Changed light schedule to 24/0 to control temps dropping. Problem solved sitting between 22 - 27 at all times now.
As you can see from the pics the 3 gallon pot is gonna be harvest a few weeks before the 5 gallon pot although the trichomes are still clear ATM.
Still feeding every 2/3 days around 2.5 / 3 liters. The smell of these is just delicious.
Day 58
trichomes are still clear,
Day 60
Trichomes have started to turn cloudy.
Seriously sticky and stinky covered in resin
Day 62 -
Trichomes are now over 50% cloudy. Gonna flush when the pot is next dry probably Monday ready to havest within the week.
