Hi everyone 😁
I would like to thank you all fellow growers and breeders for such a great support on this journey. Thank you Grow Diaries and Green House Seeds. Without you all this wouldn't be possible. Love you all
First ever recorded diary so don't know where to even start 😅
I am returning to growing after many many years of break. This is my first ever experience with autoflowers, scrog, lst, led and such tiny grow space.
Choice of strain - Big Bang Auto from Green House Seeds. I have run so many strains from this seed bank in the past and I was always happy with the final outcome. Was looking for indica dominant strain, fast flowering cycle and very important heavy yields on small spaces. Again thank you GHSC in very happy of choosing this strain.
Little bit about my cabinet.

Samsung LM301B – 5000 x72
Samsung LM301B – 3000k x136
Samsung LM301B – 660nm x9
Samsung LM301B – IR 760nm x1
Regulation in the range of 20W - 110W - Meanwell XLG 100-H-AB
PPF 300 umol/s
PPFD 890 mol/m2/s @30c
Total of 6 adjustable fans, 4 exhaust fans 4 modes - silent/drying, vegetation, flowering, full power
Active carbon mass in the filter 2kg
Absolutely love my grow cabinet. Thinking of next build already.
My grow
3 beautiful ladies - Nuna, Luna and Sweet Mary Jane.
This was a pleasure experience growing autos for the first time. All 3 ladies on the end developed perfectly.
Nuna, left corner lady- tall and beautiful. She had some problems to switch to flowering and was even considering removing her but very happy that I was patient enough and turned great.
Luna, right corner lady - have to say she is the queen. She has the most heavy buds from all, the most. colorful. Her wet weight was 420g, can't say how much of dry but guessing approx. 100g
Sweet Mary Jane, front seat lady. I think she was the most pleasant to grow of her location but due to no other spare space for drying I belive that I have harvested her at least a week to early. If keep longer I belive she could be the most yielder from all 3.
Thank you all for all the support, help, comments, likes, messeges.
Love you all 💚💚💚
Will update this diary in some time and when puff perfectly cured 😎
Peace and love ✌️💚

On day 1 I changed out my reservoir. I lowered my nutes to 650 ppm(25% reduction). I adjusted the PH down to 6.1. My left plant has some burnt tips from either PH shift or over fertilization. My hope is that the lower ppm will help to resolve the issue before it spreads.
On day 2 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 6.3 to 5.9.
On day 3 the reservoirs PH is 6.0. I installed my new 200 watt HLG Rspec. I adjusted PPFD readings to 700-1300 PPFD on all tops.
On day 4 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 5.8 to 6.2.
On day 5 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 6.4 to 6.0. I diluted my nutrients in my reservoir by removing one gallon of nutrients from the rez and and adding 2 gallons of straight tap water to the rez. This brought the nute concentration from 770 ppm to 540 ppm as the plants will be entering the ripening stage in a few days and they have too much nitrogen judging by the extremely dark green leaves and burnt leaf tips on some branches of the left side plant. The buds seem slightly smaller then my last run which may be due to an excess of nitrogen and maybe not enough light as some of my tops are taller then the others making proper PPFD challenging. All in all the girls are coming along nice and I look forward to the final weeks of flowering 😀
On day 6 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 5.9 to 6.2. I think I have halted the nute burn as I haven't seen it progressing any more on the leaves. I will continue to monitor closely during these final weeks. The trichome production is increasing with some trichs on top of colas starting to go cloudy. The pistils are turning brown with roughly 40-50% are turning brown all signs I'm getting closer to the harvest window 😆. I dimmed my light to give 600-1000 PPFD to tops.
On day 7 I reduced my temps to 75 during the day and 68 at night. I adjusted the PH of the reservoir from 6.6 to 6.1. My reservoirs ppm was too high so I diluted the rez with 2 gal of tap water. This brought it down to 480ppm. The average ppfd to all 14 tops is 604 with no top receiving more than 1000 ppfd

Harvest time! Only this time there were some problems that made me take another approach. The thrips are still active so I thought it would not be very wise to lock them up together with the bud inside a paper bag. So I’ve decided to just cut the entire top part of the plant main stem and all, and hang them inside the top of the tent. But ofcourse not before I have given them a thorough shake. Then from the lower part of the plant where still some bigger buds, which I’ve also cut, trimmed and shaken clean, before they did ended up inside the bag, leaving just the lowest part of the plant with all of the small buds I’ve intended to use to germinate and create some seeds. At this point the remaining part of the plants are inside my small garden greenhouse, and I’ll keep you posted if it’s going to succeed.
Normally I’d preferred to trim the bigger leaf from the wet branches, then dry inside my paper bag and finally trimming the dry buds for bringing up the final bag appeal. Only now I’d chose to only remove the fan leaf and hang drying. I turned the ventilation almost on the lowest setting during drying.
As I said with the strain review, I’m happy with the results from plant A and C. Plant B started revegging, and thus ended up with a lower end weight. A shame because it had the biggest buds. The positive thing about dry trimming is that you don’t actually have to trim anything, it takes a bit more time, but you can literally push the leafs from the bud.

Was doing a slurry test and discovered springtails. Prolly have thousands and thousands of them in my coco. Not anymore...CannControl soil drench to the rescue! Saw some fungus gnat larvae crawling around too. Wtf. Hopefully the drench will knock them out too....at least the springtails are gone.

Okay so pk boost and as with everything else in this grow, it’s a week behind what it really should be, so I may have hit the tropicanna poison with a PK Boost too late, where as, for the orange hill special and frosted guava it’s probably a little early but hey ho - you gotta compromise with the Autopot system if you are growing multiple strains that are really quite different in terms of gene pool.
Edit: okay so it’s 4 days later and it ALMOST looks like a different plant! Its colours are coming out now.
As you can see, some of the side branches pistols are turning orange and there is even some colour turning up at the edges of the swollen calyxes.
I don’t think I will get too much light penetration to be honest, due to the fact that it’s too crouded in there - it’s so easy to forget how big they get when you first veg them! (Particularly as it’s my first grow in months and first photo grow in years!)
Next time I will just make sure I germ the seeds at the same time - although, it wasn’t really my fault, per sé.
This is definitely the most advanced plant for sure…then the NYC diesel.
Edit: so I noticed that my tall tower fan broke AGAIN and so I decided to buy a clip on I think it’s an 8” one that rotates - it’ll probably stop rotating after a while but the reviews say 18 months in after having bought the product, it still works fine, just doesn’t swivel. Tbh, it’s cheap enough to if it breaks then I can just replace it - it should def last longer than a tower fan that’s been flooded with 10-15l of water! Twice! So I can’t say I’m hugely shocked…
For now, iv taken the fan that is a clip on that I was using for the extraction of my drying tent - it’s surprisingly powerful for such a small USB powered fan tbf!

Very nice dark green with reddish stems, which seems to be a trait from gelatos to me, with amazing inter node spacing. No need for small defoliation or LST with a plant like that!

adjusting placement of the stem buds, for maximum light penetration & maximum bud production. Trying not to cause light burn in the process.

The plants are growing into a real forest and are exuding a pleasant, pungent bouquet. All strains are tacky to the touch and leave sticky residue on the fingers whenever handled.
Finished feeding 13/14, happy with the product--flower starting to swell.

Welcome to week 4 a flower it's day 86 and she is still growing beautifully with tons of trichome development no deficiencies and getting bigger all the time I still got at least four weeks left I'm hoping she gets nice and fat and I'm really hoping that it turns purple in the late stages. I haven't really changed much other than I increase the amount of flush material as I started to notice a little bit of Browning tips on some of the leaves I raised it from 2L to 4L of straight water I also increase the amount of nutrients from 3 to 4 litres starting tomorrow I'll be reducing the amount of flushing water down to three but keeping the nutrients the same. Hope the information was useful happy growing and keep your stick on the ice

In knapp einer Woche haben sich die beiden verdoppelt. Die Seifuku hat sich super vom Topping erholt, hat aber einen etwas großen Abstand zwischen den Nodien. Die Lampe wurde von 80 cm auf 60 cm Abstand gesenkt, um so die Intensität zu erhöhen. Beide haben es gut vertragen, und nächste Woche wird sie weitere 10–15 cm gesenkt, da ich wegen des Magnetdimmers nur in 20-%-Stufen dimmen kann.
Bei der Sour Zoda wurde das erste Blattpaar entfernt, sodass die Seitentriebe nicht mehr verdeckt werden. Ich habe aber wohl das falsche gewählt, weil das nächste Paar so schnell gewachsen ist, dass sie sofort wieder verdeckt waren. Die Sour Zoda wächst eher gedrungen im Vergleich zur Seifuku.
Nach den Fotos wurden beide mit Wizzy's Pflanzengeflüster (0,5 g auf 50 ml pro Pflanze) eingesprüht.

In just under a week, both have doubled in size. The Seifuku has recovered really well from the topping but shows a somewhat large spacing between the nodes. The light was lowered from 80 cm to 60 cm to increase intensity. Both handled it well, and next week it will be lowered another 10–15 cm, since with the magnetic dimmer I can only adjust in 20% steps.
On the Sour Zoda, the first pair of leaves was removed so the side shoots wouldn’t be shaded. But I probably chose the wrong pair, because the next set grew so quickly that they were shaded again right away. The Sour Zoda grows more compact compared to the Seifuku.
After the photos both plants have been treated with Wizzy's Pflanzengeflüster (0,5 g in 50 ml per plant)
Nachtrag: Wir haben einen Schädlingsbefall, daher wurde die Erde bedeckt mit einer dicken Schicht Sand und darauf Splitt. Dadurch wird der Sand nicht weggespült beim Gießen und es wird noch unattraktiver für die Wurzelfliegen.
Bei der Seifuku wurden die Haupttriebe mit Clips heruntergebogen. Bei beiden wurde das unterste Blattwerk entfernt, damit die ich die Barriere gut auf die Erde bekomme.

Had a bit of nute burn and potassium deficiency had to increase potassium to balance it out.....other than that she is doing well....u know it's getting closer to the end the stem along with the branches are showing there purple genetics
