Cruising along

01-11-2021: Good afternoon everyone... here we are again. My Bruce Banger will be ready in a week so I thought... I can probably germinate some seeds. I still have a lot of them (thanks to zamnesia) Every now and then I also post a report on Growdiaries and since you can only enter a competition there by using only one Strain I decided to put a round of Wedding Cake. I wanted to grow this variety when I still got my seeds from seedstockers, but found it too expensive at the time. Now I had two fish vouchers from zamnesia, each one good for 5 Wedding Cake Auto seeds. I didn't really like AFs per se (although I enjoy the result every day) so I called them and asked if I couldn't get Photos instead of Autoflowers... That was no problem at all, so I now have 10 have seeds. I have not yet found a method of germination on Hydro that works well for me, so we're going to do it in the most reliable way for me... old-fashioned in Cocos plugs. I let it fill itself with acidified (PH5.9) water and then provided each plug with a seed. I now put this under a 60W purple LED lamp that I still had from my very first cultivation attempt. Once they are up (I'm guessing/hope with a week) these will go into my budget system to grow there under 480W LM301H panels for a few weeks but with only 12 hours of light. The idea is to move these to the large closet as soon as they are about 4 weeks old, but that is not necessarily a requirement because you can also remove the lamps from that loft and move them to this room. That depends a bit on the size. What I'm going to test this round is how good/bad 12/12 from seed is doing in Hydro. Since most feeding schedules with hydro assume that you only pre-grow 1 week, I thought I might as well rule out that one week. In addition, from the moment the roots emerge from under the net pots, I want to increase the EC to 1.5 fairly quickly. I like small stocky plants without having to scrog. Maybe I'll top and maybe even mainline, but that depends entirely on the development of the ladies. In any case, there will be no feeding computer for the first few weeks (a bluelab Guardian) and as growth food they are given Hy-Pro Hydro A/B with Calmag (4-4-1 ratio). I expect very low temperatures in space so it won't be a banger. I have the impression that a correct root temperature compensates to some extent. I'm still looking for a way to transport the ladies in the right way (or I have to find a way to be able to use the same net pots in both systems). But that is of later concern. Since I only have 1 pre-growth room and 1 flowering room, I will put these ladies in a kitchen cupboard for the next week. The Bruce Banger goes on Sunday and then I can put them in there. The idea is to continue breeding on 12/12 from now on. After six weeks, new seeds will always germinate and no more than 5 at a time. I now make a round with originally 15 ladies, 3 of them were left behind in such a way that I took them out (to prevent rot) with the probable cause of too little light. 5 Planting will probably yield a little less, but hey, I can't finish it otherwise. And now my friends are very happy with my clearing days but of course that is not what I grow for. In addition, it also hurts a bit to give away 3-4 ounces after so many months of work. Just a summary of the materials used for the enthusiasts.... Lighting: 3x Meiju LED Samsung LM301H 240W with Jisun Drivers.

She's growing well this week. Her flowers are fattening up nicely! I was a bit worried that they will be airy not dense, but I was being too impetuous 😬😅

63 days of flowering have passed, according to various colleagues they are 1/2 weeks behind on the swelling. But to me they look squat enough to pick up. Quite evident smell of sweet Hashy. Fed lightly with Bio Bloom but it was more of a rinse. 2.22l per day for 6 days, including 2 days put 1 drop of Bio Bloom in the irrigation

Holky se začaly hezky zabarvovat, velmi silně voní a do výšky už nerostou. Jen koukám, jak krásně nabývají palice :) O něco málo jsem snížil hlavní hnojivo a přidal víc PK na květ. Těším se :)

🌿 Grow Update: Week 6 of Flower 🌸 Hey growers, We're cruising through Week 6 of flowering, and I gotta say, things are looking solid in my grow setup. This being my first rodeo, I'm pretty stoked with how it's all turning out. The plant's rocking a deep green, which could be a bit of nitrogen overload or just her natural vibe. Regardless, she's thriving, Ive been so stupid letting her get so big in a 5gallon i wouldn't be surprised if she is rootbound.. Got a bit of a snag with some lower bud sites getting overshadowed by the top canopy. Didn't want to push my luck with more defoliation i cant really at this point of flower, but hey, it's all a learning experience next round, I'll be more surgical. Already thinking about the next grow — tossing in a couple of plants in 5-gallon pots, keeping veg short and sweet at 4-5 weeks. Gonna tighten up the training game for sure. Despite the lower buds not getting as much love, the top ones are coming along nicely. She's a thirsty one, so I'm hitting her with 4 liters at lights on and another 2 liters a few hours before lights off to keep that coco from drying out. Got about 3-4 more weeks to go, and I'm itching to see how it all pans out. Can't wait to see the final yield and taste the goods. Here's to a killer harvest ahead! 🌿💧✂️🌸 #GrowLife #Week6 #FirstTimer #HarvestCountdown

Week 4 of veg (from clone) now looking well. lights @ 100% brightness, always.

Plant is doing well, she's thin but let's see what I can get from her. She's tall. Haven't checked her height in a few days but nearly 60cm I'd say. Vegged out at 54cm. 4/6/22 Took her height today. Has put on 18cm this week. Topping out at 72cm. Not much to her though. Hoping for long nice dense colas. There is lots of tight bud sites coming right up the colas. 6/6/22 Doing great. Putting on 1.5-2cm every day. All nodes have also took a decent stretch and are all nearly level. Also she's starting to get lots of frost.

This week consists of July 2, 2022 thru July 8, 2022 - Seeds were planted on May 27th, 2022 and they all sprouted on May 31st, 2022 (~4 days) Beginning of flower so I changed the light to use the HPS bulb. Maintaining temp and humidity during flower with lower temperatures and a higher VPD has been a bit challenging because of the outside temperature but it went ok. I will start to lower the AC unit temperature during dark period to get a larger difference but it makes it hard to keep the CO2 levels high with the AC unit on more often. The plants are using up a lot more water now so I have increased the feeding/water frequency to at least every other day. LIGHTS: I'm running the lights on an 18-6 schedule. I have the dark time scheduled from 11am to 5pm since the lights increase temperature and during that time the outside temperature is at its highest so it seems to be easier to maintain proper temperature ranges with the light off during that period. Swapped out the metal halide bulb to the high pressure sodium on July 6th since the plants have been in flower. WATER: July 3rd: ~750 - 1000 ml of 6.1 PH and 880 PPM. 15 ml/gal of Big Bloom 10 ml/gal of Grow Big 5 ml/gal of Tiger Bloom 5 ml/gal of Cal-Mag July 6th: ~1000 ml of 6.1 PH and 1120 PPM. 20 ml/gal of Big Bloom 15 ml/gal of Grow Big 10 ml/gal of Tiger Bloom 5 ml/gal of Cal-Mag July 7th: ~1000 ml of 6.1 PH - oxygenated water TEMP/HUMIDITY: A max of 84.8F and a min of 71.4F with an average of 79.7. VPD was pretty consistently in a tighter range with the average being around 1.41. Whole week numbers> Temp - 79.7F avg - 71.4F min - 84.8F max Humidity - 59.4% avg - 32.0% min - 81% max VPD - 1.41 avg - 0.53 min - 2.55 max CO2: Floating ball is between .5 and 1. This lets a more gradual amount of CO2 to enter the tent and I now get a more stable level of CO2 that fluctuates between around 1000 ppm and 1300 ppm. The regulator is still plugged into the same outlet as the lights so it turns off on the same light/dark schedule. PAR: PPFD between 300-1100. I got a legitimate par meter and now have a much better idea of how much light is being received on each plant. The tops of some plants are getting the 700-1100 range and some side leaves are getting in the 400-500 range. The new bulb gives off a lot of light and the plants have grown much closer to the bulb so some tips are getting a high PAR so they should make excellent use of the increased CO2. ISSUES: The plants are getting a lot bigger and taking more water per week. I removed some of the plants and moved them into a different tent to allow for enough room for them all to bush out and finish stretching. TECHNIQUES: I implemented a very small amount of LST throughout the week and removed only a few inner leaves(defoliation) to increase the light to some of the inner branches.

Anesia Imperium X is small compared to the others will probably put here a week later into flowering. topping is done and doing some last LST on here Probably come flowering time this one and black berry moonrock and headshot will be put in the 100X100X180 with the TS-1000 so they can veg some more Imperium X is getting another home for couple weeks preparing the other room for flowering More photos Tru the week 27/10/21 Transplant the imperium x in 11L fabric pots added 5gram Easy Roots - Mycorrhiza Mix to soil visit www.marshydro.eu for your best gear and use the PROMO CODE: DEVILSBUD Fully marshydro supported Setup: Marshydro GT100X100X180 Marshydro Ts 1000 LED lamp Mars Hydro tent handy info Lock All Light Inside: MARS HYDRO Grow Tent Interior is made of diamond mylar.

This was my first time growing outdoors, and this variety did well in Eastern Ontario region. I started seeds indoors and put the mainlined plants in the garden in early May. They were done flowering September 27th. The plants were beautiful and purple. The flavour is sweet and earthy. This is remains my favourite variety. One thing I learned from this outdoor grow is that I need to allow more space between plants. One of these Purple Kush plants was choked out and didn't grow as well as she could have. Next year I'll do a better job.

the 4th week is over and she is doing well. i have started a light LST training. she has gained a good 10 cm in height and she looks healthy and strong.

Day 64 05/07/24 Friday Start of week Big feed today 4L pH 6.2 only 20% run off. So I have done final LST on her, I'm proud of what she has grown into over this veg period. What a BEAST 🙌💪🤯💚 I'm allowing this week to be final veg week before I flip her. She has so many tops I'll count them and add to diary tomorrow ✌️💚 Day 65 06/07/24 Saturday The day after LST, she has bounced straight back 💪, she's a damn beast 👌 Picture update Day 66 07/07/24 Sunday Watering with De-chlorinated tap water, pH 6.0 and added cal-mag 7ml for 5L. No run off but bottom of fabric pot is lovely and moist so will leave it there today 😁 Day 67 08/07/24 Monday De-chlorinated tap watering today 5L with DyNoMyCo. Hoping this will help root zone uptake more nutrients during flush- we will see. Updated short video Day 69 10/07/24 Wednesday Feed today! De-chlorinated tap water pH 6.0. did a 3L run through had about 1ltr run off due to high humidity this week, she never needed it I guess. But just wanted something to pull fresh oxygen through substrate. She's getting so damn big, have to flip her tomorrow else she'll never fit under 600w hps in tent 🤦‍♂️😍

Buenas en esta la primera semana desde su germinación las vemos estupendamente, hemos pasado a abonar desde la primera semana con Power rotts para empezar hacer un sistema radicular muy bueno
