Hello Diary, The harvest is approaching on my small farm. Actually, one plant is already ripe for harvest and that is Titan F1, So Apollo F1 and Milky Way F1 will be left alone for another week. As seen in the photos, the Apollo F1 is truly a sight for the eyes. The flowers are very densely packed, I have never seen anything like that before. But the plant is low, the branches are strong and there is no bending under the weight of the flowers. The flowers are full of trichomes that emit a strong fragrance. Here and there a yellowish leaf appears, which I immediately remove. Watering is a little more frequent due to the high temperatures, but I stopped adding any nutrients. Here's a quick recap of the week. 26/06/2023 - Day 58. Watering. Only two days later, the plants drank all the water, so I watered them with two liters for each individual plant. 29/06/2023 - Day 61. Watering. I repeated the procedure as I did three days earlier. 01/07/2023. - Day 63. Photographing plants. That's all for this week, see you soon.

Both were growing like absolute champs! I decided to top really early. i follow basementganjas rules, i will only top autos if they grow like champs, trunksize 3mm, 99% healthy, sidenodes have substantial grow, and are between days 12-16. i topped these on day 12, mainly because at the rate they were growing, i feared they were to put too much time and energy into the top nodes i planned on removing. Also, it would be interesting to see how they handled it. AND BOY, handled it, they did! The 600 ml Dosage of water and nutes from Day 6 lasted all the way to Day 11. On Day 11, i added 1 ml/L of Bio Grow from Biobizz and watered both of them with 1 Liter of tapwater, ph'd down to between 6,2 - 6.3. As mentioned, even though the sidenodes were a tad small for my likings, they did not seem to care. see next week for the further progress!

-6/11/23 Start of Week --Week 12/Flower 6 -6/17/23 (Day 91/Flower 43) --Observations: starting to get the classic cannabis scent, there is a lot going on under what is seeable from the top, leaf tips nutrient burnt --Changes: increased amount of water per day, stopped giving nutrients during the week, removed more of the lemon basil, upped the intensity of the light (62%) --Comments: started giving more water at the beginning of this week (about 22 oz daily) but had to stop adding nutrients every time because leaf tips started getting burnt. removed more of the lemon basil because it had started growing over the purple lemonade, the basil is growing like crazy. finally got a closer look at the inner growth of the purple lemonade and there is far more going on than I originally thought, looking like this might be the best grow I have done so far. purple lemonade scent is starting to intensify and gain the classic cannabis smell but still has the lemon citrus scent. decided to increase light intensity instead of lowering height from plant, light is now at about 62%. -6/17/23 End of Week -Post-Week note: decided to put the actual height of the top of the colas instead of the distance from the base to the top of the main stem, past weeks have also been updated.

OVERALL: ~ Very happy with the grow, I really dialled everything in well this run. ~ She grew super fast, I put it down to the constant oxygenation of the rootzone along with consistent and constantly optimized light DLI and leaf to air temp variance. The extra Co2 helped push the plant to its limit in terms of heat, allowing it to push its hardest. ~ The lack of HST and Defoliation I feel let it finish faster due to lack of stress and stunting. The faster finishing time along with the big yield and efficient MarsHydro light, it hugely reduced my electricity costs per gram and freed up space much sooner for the next plant. ~ Turned into a very dense bush of buds, there is even smokable dense buds at the base of the plant due to the under canopy lighting (Not as dense as top canopy buds but still decent) ~ Ran a thin line between stressing the plant and letting it flourish. The buds came out big and very dense, also it's hard to see on camera but they're very frosty too (Prob from UVB) YIELD: ~ 145g (dry) in just 9 weeks from seed. ~ 753g (Wet) ~ 0.91g/watt GENETICS: ~ MSNL - Gorilla Glue Auto ~ my favorite strain, as you can tell by my username! STRAIN REVIEW: ~ Heavy hitter, like an indica but has some of that "feel it in your face" sensation of a strong sativa. Not as heavy or as strong as other GG#4's I have smoked, which would make me question the genetics used to produce the auto version. I will wait till after a cure and judge it again. TRAINING: ~ No defoliation or HST (Bar last week for pics) ~ A little LST and leaf tucking but largely just left the plant alone to do its thing. I felt chopping healthy parts off the plant would slow the plant down and leave it with less chlorophyll to photosynthesize the light. ~ I did prune by lightly plucking dead leaves away, when the plant was ready to let them go easily. DRYING ~ 20/21'C 50% RH with air circulation. ~ Homemade Drybox made using: 2 x Bankers Boxes ~ 2 x USB Desk Fans ~ 1 x Carbon Filter ~ 6 x Clothes Hangers UPDATE: Day 5 after Harvest: ~ Fast dried some small batches, as we couldn't wait to sample. ~ Chopped off branches as some are down to 12% moisture whilst bigger buds are up at 18%. Moving to paper bag for couple of days to even moisture out then transferring to jars CURING: ~Curing in jars 3/4 full. ~ Dark closet/18'C/50% RH ~ Jars burped once Hygro passes 65% and sealed when it drops to 58%. ~ Stabilised it at 62% and after 2 weeks I'll drop it some more and stabilise it at 58% to bring out more of the flavour. ~Sitting in jars with Boveda 62% at this stage. ~ Already tastes and feels great. WATER: ~ Condensed (Starting at 40ppm) ~ Disinfected prior to adding nutrients etc. (Using COOSPIDER UVC - 253nm & 187nm bulb) CLIMATE: ~ Ambient Air Temp = 29'C ~ 28'C LST ~ Leaf to air temp variance of between 1'C ~ Night Temp = 22/23'C ~ Day/Night temp differential 6-7'C ~ Under Canopy Temp: 26'C (Day) ~ 21'C (Night) ~ Relative Humidity = 50-60%RH (Avg. 55%RH) ~ VPD = 1.45kPa (Avg.) ~ Co2 ranges from 900ppm to 1500ppm (Avg. 1200ppm) AIR PRESSURE: ~ Ambient Air Pressure (outside tent) = Mean Avg. 1010 mbars (101 Kilopascals) ~ Actual Air Pressure (inside tent) = Mean Avg. 1005 mbars (100.5 Kilopascals) ~ Air Pressure Differential = up to 0.5 kPa range between inside & outside LIGHT: ~ UVB (High intensity @ 45cm) ~ 2 hours daily mid light cycle. ~ Warm White 3000K/White 5000k/Far Red (660nm) ~ At plant canopy = PPFD 900-1000umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 45,000-55,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 55-65 ~ Under canopy lighting ~ Blue (460nm)/ Red (630nm) NUTRIENTS: ~ Mostly Advanced Nutrients (For base nutrients and most additives, as only company I could find scientific data on) ~ Canna (For Calmag Agent and Cannazym) ~ Plant Success (Great White Mycorrhizae) ADDITIONAL GROW TECHNIQUES: INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL: Infection control practices i.e ~ PPE, Alcohol Hand wash ~ Gray room outside tent, ~ Carbon filter ~ HEPA filter ~ Plasma Ionizer ~ Inline UV-C germicidal bulb ~ Also using an additional higher powered COOSPIDER (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins. ~ Ozone (o3) gas that is produced using the COOSPIDER, is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens. ~ Ed Rosenthal (Zero Tolerance organic pesticide), sprayed once a week as preventative measure. On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak (No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

The plant turned out to be a photoperiod and I am unsure if the seed tender has sold me the right seeds. The plant smells weird... like onion sort of... very leafy and very very sensitive to humidity and mould. This was not an easy grow by far, I was constantly maintaining these fruit autos and it just hard such an odd structure. I would say grow these lower THC strains (under 20% thc) in super organic soil. Coco was what i was using with some worm castings as a top dress throughout flower.

Day 57/F15: 8/6 -removed a few fan leaves -raised lights as high as they go, hoping vertical growth haults soon -feeding each 1L before and after work (in a rush) -CRAZY WATER LEAK DIRECTLY ONTO TOP OF TENT, it was damn near raining through the inline opening. very concerned with how this will be resolved, seems to be leaking from my bathroom above Day 58/F16: 8/7 -put a kiddy pool on top of tent for leak lol -GB 3L feed -BD 2.5L feed -shang/orange 1.7L feed Day 59/F17: 8/8 -GB 3L feed -BD 2.5L feed -shang/orange 1.7L feed Day 60/F18: 8/9 -GB 3L feed -BD 2.5L feed -shang/orange 1.7L feed Day 61/F19: 8/10 -GB 3L feed -BD 2.5L feed -shang/orange 1.7L feed *no runoff today, will stick with same amounts tomorrow before i increase *noticed some browning on the pistils at 2 budsites, somewhat concerned about this Day 62/F20: 8/11 -GB 3L feed -BD 2.5L feed -shang/orange 1.7L feed (increase shang to 1.8 tm, shang put on incredible growth during stretch which i think is virtually over) Day 63/F21: 8/12 -did as much of the day 21 defoliation that i could. difficult to reach the shang in the back but hopefully i opened up enough space -in a rush, doing 2 waterings today: -GB 2L feed -BD 1.5L feed -shang/orange 1L (each getting another 1L after work)

Day 36 - Checked PPM 400. Plant is wide and bushy. Day 37 - Plant is 28 inches tall and 10 inches from the light. Day 38 - Plant is 29 inches tall. Root system is almost maxed out for 5 gallon bucket. Checked PPM 700. Built a new light stand/grow area. Now bigger then 4 by 4 foot area. Day 39 - Started a new bucket of water and nutes. Added 20 mL of CalMag Micro Grow and Bloom. Added 10 mL of each additive. I didnt add the rooting additives Tarantula Piranha and Voodoo Juice. PPM is 1,600. Plant is 32 inches tall. Different looking growth forming. Day 42 - Checked PPM 1,520. Added RO water. PPM is 640. Added 10 mL of CalMag Micro Grow and Bloom. Added 5 mL of each additive. PPM is 1,300.

We'll update midweek..happy growing everyone!! ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ 9/2/21 🐱 be careful what you wish for folks..we asked for stretch and we got it..too much in fact, the node spacing isn't good, far too wide with this strain..we lowered both lights in the tent to get this to stop and turned up the fans to really beat on these for a few days..hopefully this will strengthen them, I really would hate to have to steak these later... ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

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🤣🤘.

Eingesetzt habe ich die Samen direkt am 01.01.2026, gekeimt sind die ersten beiden am 04.01.2026. ich habe sie mittlerweile in einen anderen Kasten gesetzt in dem sie nicht mehr so eine hohe Feuchtigkeit haben wie die anderen beiden die noch nicht gekeimt sind. Sie stehen jetzt unter einer sanlight EVO 3.80 die auf 25% gedimmt ist. Sie werden aber bald in mein anzucht Zelt kommen sobald es da ist. Heute, am 07.01.2026 ist dann die 3. gekeimt. Streckt langsam ihren Kopf raus. Nun bleibt noch der 4. Samen auf den ich warte. Die Anzuchtkästen habe ich auf Amazon bestellt, sind welche mit LED,s drin, ist ganz gut für die zusätzliche wärme für die Samen zum keimen. Die gefäße habe ich selber gedruckt mit einem 3d Drucker, nutze sie das erste Mal und bisher bin ich damit zufrieden. 08.01.2026 Mittlerweile sind all 4 gekeimt, von den ersten beiden hab ich den Deckel von der anzuchtbox abgemacht, da ich das Zelt mit einem Befeuchter auf 70% rlf halte. Die anderen beiden bleiben noch ein paar Tage unter der Haube bis sie etwas größere blätter bekommen haben. Ich bin froh, dass alle 4 gekeimt sind. Jetzt heißt es weiter abwarten und schauen wie sie sich entwickeln und ob ich welche aussortieren muss. 09.01.2025 Heute habe ich die 2, die als erstes gekeimt sind, in die 1l töpfe umgesetzt. Die erde war trocken genug und da im Zelt sowieso 70% rlf ist, können sie schon in die neuen töpfe. Konnte sie dank des selbstgedruckten Anzuchtkastens sehr gut umsetzen. Die töpfe sind mit biobizz Light Mix gefüllt und ich habe das Wasser mit calmag angeglichen und den ph auf 6,5 gedrückt. In ein paar Tage. Werde ich dann die anderen auch umtopfen, wird aber noch etwas dauern. Gewässert habe ich pro 1l Topf dann 300ml (1/3), die hälfte von oben und die andere von unten, damit sich der Topf gleichmäßig voll saugen kann. 11.01.2026 Heute habe ich die 2 nachzügler in die 1l töpfe umgesetzt. Wasser wieder auf die oben genannten Werte eingestellt und in biobizz Light Mix. Habe seit gestern mein anzucht Zelt mit 60x40x50 von spiderfarmer. Aufbau war super und qualitativ ist es auch völlig in Ordnung. Versuche eine rlf von 70% und eine Temperatur von 25°c zu halten in dem Zelt. Dort lass ich sie jetzt eine Weile stehen, bis die ersten blätter über den Topfrand wachsen. Habe pro 1l Topf dann noch 300ml Wasser gegeben. Licht habe ich mir von mars hydro das 2er Set vg40 (2x20w) zugelegt und oben rein gespannt.
