First off. I DO NOT USE TERRA AQUATICA NUTRIENTS. I USE FLORANOVA GROW AND FLORANOVA BLOOM Girls are lookin pretty. The Gelato is one big fat lady. She is trying to overtake the Breakup Cake and the Silver Widow. No problems to mention except the weight of this plant. Stems grow out and ge weighed down by their size. Measured one of the side branches. 6ft 3" on the side branches. If you could straighten them out, this plant would be over 12ft wide. The Silver Widow is 6ft now and the Breakup Cake is over 7. Thanks for the looks like and interest in my grows.

It’s the eighth week of flowering, and the plant is looking absolutely gorgeous! The buds and leaves have turned a deep purple with rich autumn hues, giving the plant such a unique, almost magical appearance. The sweet smell has become even stronger and fills the whole grow space with a powerful, sugary aroma. 🍬🌿 I’ve noticed the trichomes starting to turn an amber color—just the sign I’ve been waiting for! Most of them are still milky, but the amber hints show we’re getting close. This week, I’ve started the flushing process to clear out any remaining nutrients and prepare for harvest. 💧 Everything’s on track, and I couldn’t be more excited for the final steps! 😁✨

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.

End of week 3 - @cyco nutes seem to be working wonders, 3 plants in one pot doesn't seem to be an issue either. Very happy with the results so far :D 5/10/18 - Gave the girls a fresh water with full Cyco advanced veg scheme. Back under the lights with full fans and humidifier running. Temp 27-28 Celsius / Humidity 75-85% 6/10/18 - Ladies got a watering with the Cyco Kleanse today to flush the weeks nute waterings. They are looking very nice and green. Temp 27-28 Celsius / Humidity 75-85% - Changing tent setup a bit tomorrow to have the plants lower to the ground. Lights will also be lowered to roughly a foot from the girls :)

Amazing Colours! As you can see the colours on this plant at the end of its run are absolutely amazing. The buds didnt out as dense as I had hoped but I think thats just this pheno and we are busy hunting a denser pheno atm. what a great strain to grow though. no problems during the cycle of the plant and the colours make it so rewarding to grow! I would definitely recommend this strain to people who like fruity and colourful plants. Barneys never disappoints really;)

THURSDAY 7/18: I FIM'd her today. She's growing quickly now.. but looking at her, I'm still not so sure it wasn't really a spinach seed😂 But seriously, I'm thinking that I used too much Mycotrex or Great White while she was still too young or something. Her roots were looking awesome when I transplanted her, but she's got some weird-looking foliage.. FRIDAY: Inspected for pests and repositioned her in a spot that gets another half hour of sunlight per day. I sprayed the area with Ortho again and bought a little air bubbler to aerate water for compost tea.2 SATURDAY: She put on a couple of inches since Thursday. I mixed up a fairly weak batch of Big Bloom and Grow Big plus some Kelp Me Kelp You and douched her with about a half-gallon right as the sun was coming up. I also prepared a foliar feed using Big Bloom and Kelp Me Kelp You and sprayed her well as the sun came up, and again after it was going down. I also started aerating 4 gallons of water today...will add the compost tea tomorrow morning and let it cook for 24 hours. SUNDAY: I foliar fed her and sprinkled little more Silicium Flash on top of the soil of all my plants and mixed about 4 grams of Bactrex into a jug with 3/4 gallon of bottled water and douched all my plants with about 2 pints each. That should really get the beneficial bacteria and fungus kicked into overdrive. I started brewing a 4 gallon batch of compost tea today. Since I don't have any Orgatrex, I am using a little Big Bloom, Kelp Me Kelp You, and Grow Big in the tea in addition to the PK Compost Booster tea from Bi Tabs. I'll add Mycotrex to it about 2 hours before it finishes and thoroughly dowse them all tomorrow morning. MONDAY: She got about a a liter and a half of freshly brewed compost tea and a foliar feeding right after the sun came up. She's a happy camper.👍

This strain was an absolute joy to watch grow. From the sweet/gassy smell in flower to the daily growth it shows in veg. I hung these up to dry in 60'f and 62%rh and will let them hang for 14days or so. The total wet weight came out to an astonishing 2,796g of some beautiful flowers. All in all one I highly recommend for high yields and great taste.

Purple Crack from the Cali Connection Moving into flowering now and she is growing very nicely , lots of potential bud sites developing and Ive done a full Bucket rinse , wash and nutrient change . I also rinsed the roots with some nice clean water to remove anything unwanted. I've also upped the nutrient strength to 4mls per litre and added Big bud to the regime. Thanks for checking in see you next week 👊

Not much to report this week so far. Slightly defoliated above the Scrog to allow more light penetration for the lower branches. Plants starting to stretch abit now but nothing to bad.

Beautiful flower full of trichomes. Smell and test fantastic. Very fast flowering. She was done on day 49 but I cut her down few days later. I love the strain, the only thing that I will like this strain to have is a better yield. Beast quality buds I ever grew.

frosted guava ❄️ 🌱 Anfang Woche 8/10 🌱 Langsam geht es in die finale Phase. Die beiden hinteren Pflanzen befinden sich jetzt auf der Zielgeraden und werden ab heute nur noch mit Wasser gegossen. Wenn alles nach Plan läuft, steht in etwa einer Woche die Ernte an. Natürlich werden bis dahin regelmäßig die Trichome kontrolliert, damit der perfekte Erntezeitpunkt nicht verpasst wird. Die vordere Pflanze mit der etwas dunkleren Färbung braucht noch etwas länger und hängt den beiden anderen ein kleines Stück hinterher. Mit den Buds bin ich mehr als zufrieden. Die Frosted Guava macht ihrem Namen wirklich alle Ehre unglaublich frostig, harzig und einfach wunderschön anzusehen. Jetzt, wo nur noch mit Wasser gegossen wird, werden die Blätter nach und nach schön ausfärben, wovon ich natürlich auch noch einige Bilder machen werde. Getrocknet wird später wieder in den DryFerm Bags. Damit habe ich bei den letzten drei Runs richtig gute Erfahrungen gemacht und werde deshalb auch dieses Mal dabei bleiben. Zum Schluss möchte ich mich nochmal herzlich für die vielen Likes, Kommentare und die Unterstützung während dieses Grows bedanken. Ein großes Dankeschön geht natürlich auch an den Seed Sponsor Green House Seeds. Happy Growing Growmies 🌱?💚 Euer Cangrowz
