All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5.
84/14 Fun with Filters
VPD was controlled at reduced temps and RH today - RH now set to 55% max and Temps are 75F at max Over night allowed down to 67F when lights go out. Lights were good and same as yesterday with some light LST PPFD at 750 down to 550. I used 20 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR with 15 before and after main lights on/off. She's now about 25" tall and 35" wide.
Also took some black back and shadow pics for fun (no filters or sharpen only)
Day 85/15
Feed Day I gave 2 gallons of de-chlorinated tap combined with 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix total 600ppm and a ph of 6.4. Foliar sprayed some on the outer leaves and left the tent door open to help dry them. (took like 15 minutes with the fans.) top soil ph checked at 6.22ph and run off was at 5.74 with 1580ppm
Lights at a range of 750 to 500 Ran 25 minutes of UV and the standard 1hr IR with 15/15 before and after lights on/off and 30/30 at that time.
VPD was easy to manage with the doors open and then the fan seemed to have to work more today but just more often and not high fan.
Day 86/16
Humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two humidifiers going on high.
Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F.
Tips carried a little burn on them today, some all over which makes me think nute burn because ppfd was 550 to 750 as it has been for a few days now and there are tips on leaves with little direct light showing burn as well. Will continue to monitor as well.
IR and UV are set on timers and I screwed up with mine today. I was supposed to change the setting and forgot (time change screwed me up and I thought I did it when I changed timers that needed correction) until it was too late and ended up giving her 30 minutes of IR and 1 hour of UV... will have to check/monitor for effects tomorrow. The good news is that she's had a little over two weeks with UV so maybe not so bad. (fingers crossed it doesnt stress her too much)
Day 87/17
Again, humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two de-humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. If I open the tent for a while I can get the humidity down by about another 5% so tomorrow I plan to leave it open after I feed again.
Took some light burn from yesterday's extended UV exposure, but read that it's not bad to take on some stress from UV in flower, especially if you still have time to recover. The pros suggest that you can stress her to grow defensive systems that may create thicker/stickier leaves and flowers with more terpene production. The cons however suggest that it could stress too much and stunt the growth or in extreme/sudden cases, cause her to herm. (thus why they say in mid flower is best if you plan to stress with UV) So it is what it is. I will monitor the leaves that took damage and likely remove them this week when I defoliate schwazz style.
I still resumed the schedule of increasing UV as planned but ahead a few days now so 45minutes of UV and 1 hr IR with 15/15 before and after main lights on/off.
Day 88/18
Lots happening today.
Firstly, I found a split today... on the main stem trunk, so I used superglue to seal the cracks and held together while it set. Then I wrapped it with heavy duty gorilla tape, two 1ft pieces as both a clamp and a support on the other side. I then tied each cola to the inner ring.
So then I decided that since I am here having to work on this I may as well go ahead and do the defoliation I was planning for tomorrow. Schwazze style defoliation (at least my interpretation of the method without having to buy the book, super defoliate week 1 and 3 of flower - so almost)
Then after that I also preformed heavy strength training - I broke each cola right under the bud sites that I left and bent her outward.
I then upped the lights ever so slightly and have a max of 850 ppfd and low of 650 ppfd now.
She had 45 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR same routine, IR on/off at main light schedule with 15 before and after main lights.
VPD is better now that I placed another open air vent at the bottom, this one is 6 inch. I also placed the fans a little better to blow directly on the leaves left behind. Low speed for now, but as the leaves come back I plan to increase to get dancing leaves in the middle too. Temps were 74F and RH 55% with the ILV set to auto.
I plan to feed 2 gallons of 650ppm 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix. Since my last ph was really low I am going to increase the feed to 7.0ph - not sure what if anything I can do about ppm.
Day 89/19
VPD was normal with the exception of holding the tent open as I said I was going to today. Temps at 74F and RH mostly 55% with the ILV set to auto.
PPFD also checking in with the same settings/results today, 880 to about 650 ppfd. UV was set for 45 minutes midday, and IR with the same 1 hr with 15 minutes before and after main light on/off.
Water feed today with about 2.25 gallons of 7.0 ph de-chlorinated tap diluted with 25:75 ratio of veg/bloom mix (690 ppm total) watered until drip started and I got about .25 gallon runoff. Runoff measured 5.75 ph and 1630 ppm (top soil tested 4x with avg of 6.35)
Next feed will be a plain water salt flush.
Plant looked so nice a day today that I decided to take some more black back pics.
Day 90/20
VPD and PPDF were fine today with normal settings of 74F/55%RH/Auto ILV - PPFD ranged from 550 to 750 because of HST on the limbs. This will be the last stress I give her and hope it wasnt too much. Hoping this all results in a big yield and not a herm.

Week 4 day 2 since i start germination, and i think they are evolving quite ok. CS1 is for now the queen in all aspects, shes the stronger, the most beautiful formation with no problems what so ever , CS2 is following and CS 3 also but with mutant leaves all over her, i will however keep giving her love and dedication, mb in the end she compensate with some beautiful flowers ๐ค
As for the Tropicannas, TP2 its an amazing girl, no mutations and growing as it should, TP1 is recovering fast from her accident ๐
๐ค and she is on the way to become a strong and beautiful girl.
They are adapting super well to the new ligth ๐
one less solution to find ๐
Day 27 veg And Iโve been kind off busy, sorry i miss 2 days of updates, but between this 5 girls, my veg room and harvesting my flower run, time only stretches so much since one still have a life beyond the love gardens ๐
but non or less here we are and they look fantastic ๐คฉ๐ all showing strong genetics and i thing i will have different phenotypes on the Chocolate department lets see๐ so far the strongest CS still is number one and number three still mutating her self from day one ๐ but she will take all my love till the end ( we never know ) on the Tropicana department, both looking amazing, number one completely recovered from the led accident ๐
end growing in a way t hat i start to think that she will catch up with the rest pretty soon ๐คTP2 is now the tallest plant of them all With 16cm high ๐
Day 28 veg No updates , all going as it should ๐
๐ค
Little battle between Topicanna Poisen from @sweetseeds vs Chocolate Skunk from @00Seeds (just for fun)
TP = Tropicana Poison
CS = Chocolate Skunk
All i grow is medecine for myself, nothing to sell, dont even ask !!!!
Stay safe and do it with love for the love โค๏ธ ๐

Week 1 of the latest cycle and starting out with some new hardware and an expanded grow print๐. Weโre running 4 autos via a recirculating Dutch bucket system. First time on a dutchy so itโs gonna be interesting to see how it stacks up against DWC. Iโll give a full rundown on the system Iโve cobbled together on the next update.
So far - all seedlings have germโd without issue using the standard p-towel method. Why more people donโt use this method on GD is beyond me. Itโs so reliable that some breeders even warranty your seeds if you use this method and more than 1 seed fails to crack. Weโve got little sprouts coming up now and itโs all just waiting for those first couple fan leaves to come out and those roots to run to the bottom of each bucket. Theyโve been placed in root riot cubes (essentially a version of rapid rooters) like most of our runs and Iโd recommend their use with all autos. Time and stress on young autos is key so they need the absolute best start you can give them๐.
End of week update - looks like we got 4 quality little seedlings here๐. Alls good other than battling a ph issue for most of the week. Keeps spiking overnight for no real reason - hopefully itโll even out and isnโt the early sign of a major problem๐ค.
Background
The strain line up on this grow is lookโn quite saucy ๐. Weโve 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 ๐ฅ. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...๐. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasnโt really big on the list but we havenโt done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go๐. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that weโve been trying to get to for months. Letโs just hope that sheโs not a dud like the last bean.
The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro๐. 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, weโll 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 youโre 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, sheโs goโn nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op.
Only limiting factors Iโve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesnโt 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 port๐.

ViparSpectra 240w Quantum Board:
This thing is sleek and slick in terms of design. Closest comparable to it that Iโve 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 strobing๐. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. Thatโs 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 Iโd 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 wouldnโt be considered an โentry-levelโ fixture, Iโd 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 thereโs little reason to even consider a lesser fixture๐.
I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures donโt necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. Iโve seen no issue myself but confess - Iโm no lighting guru.

Sorry I didn't do updates in flowering. This was the smallest plant in my 4 plant run. Plus I had to turn the light way down to preserve the profile of the others that were getting in the lights. So it didn't get to grow to its full potential. Smell like a sweet, earthy, herbal smell. It's not my best grow, but it will be a nice sample of it for sure. Thank you SSSC, Dutch Passion, Athena, Medic Grow, Hon&Guan, and Spider Farmer for everything. ๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป๐ฑโ๏ธ

Hey guys .
My cutting heating broke 3-4 weeks ago, which was fixed immediately and everything went wonderfully.
Now, 3 days ago, the central heating broke down in the entire room, so that at night I only have temperatures of around 13 degrees :-( .
One or the other lady is slowly starting to see a phosphorus blockage, as this can no longer be absorbed at temperatures below 15 degrees, like many other nutrients :-( .
A friend looked at the heating yesterday and came to the conclusion that a real company had to do it, which is by no means possible for a stranger to enter my room.
I quickly ordered heating mats for all the boxes so that the ladies could at least get warm feet.
That's all I have this winter full can do .
Let's hope everything will be fine ๐๐ป.
As soon as the heating mats are attached in the coming days, I will post them in the pictures.
Now for the update.
Despite the severe cold, the ladies are still doing well and have made good progres .
The ladies only had to be watered once this week, each time with 1 l, because it absorbs the water very slowly because of the cold and I don't want to overwater it.
I took every single plant in the pot to take a close look at their roots.
These are snow white and look very healthy ๐๐ป.
It was also the last time neem oil sprayed so that the last trips are finally gone.
Otherwise everything was checked and a lot of planning was done, like I do with the heating mats.
Since a friend had the same problem in one winter and the heating mats got 10 degrees plus on the pots, I am very confident that it will at least bring something for the last cold month ๐
๐๐ป.
I'll start flowering tomorrow by switching to 12 / 12 h because the ladies mustn't get too high because the small flowering tent is only 160 cm high :-)
until then have fun and stay healthy ๐๐ป

OK guys I'm back after being away for 2 weeks. I've proceeded to a final transplantation into a 9L AirPot container, right before I left for vacations. I also added a canopy-ring in order to open up the plant and start some LST without adjusting strings everyday. A friend was in charge of the grow room while I was away, and she did a pretty good job. The GBK is healthy, with a vigorous growth, she has 8 main summits and the lower parts were pruned. She will remain under vegetative stage for 1~2 weeks before flipping into 12/12 light schedule. I can't wait to see her full of buds! Thanks for stopping by ๐

Week 9 is here and we are looking at harvesting! After checking the trichomes of just the top colas, I decided this week I was going to harvest. I am updating this post after I have dried and harvested the plant so do not have much more details. I flushed the plant this week with Flora Kleen along with terpinator and microbes.
I cut down the plants and hung them up in the tent to dry using a clothes hanger with clips I got off of Amazon. It took 10 days to dry the bud and my temps and humidity would fluctuate throughout the day and night. I stayed in the mid to low 70s for temperature and humidity was at 50% at first. Then I added a humidifier and had it dry in 60% humidity.
Will update the rest in the harvest update.

Well Cannafam weve come to the end(not of us i still love you ๐)
Firstly i would just like to say a massive thanks to Divine Seeds for letting me take part ๐
I gave her the chop yesterday slightly earlier than planned as the nute burn had started getting near the buds and i didnt want to compromise bud quality.
The trichomes on the upper half of the plant are mostly cloudy with a few amber and some beautiful pink ones also, however pics shown are mainly from the lower buds due to slight issues trying to keep buds still while aligning the phone/magnifier ๐
This gal grew like an absolute beast throughout the cycle and i would say is the most rapid ive grown! She was absolutley honking in the end and i can't wait to sample her sweet buds. Overall this grow has been immensly enjoyable and il deffo be growing again at some point.
Ive not done wet weight as yet as i didnt want to chop her monster buds up, but once dry il trim further and give the final weight with smoke report and further photos.
Thank you to everyone who has commented/liked and i hope you've enjoyed this diary ๐
Peace and Love Friends โ๏ธ๐๐๐
********** Update*************
Hey Cannafam,
Well ive tried this gal after curing in my vape and very happy. After drying there was a fair bit of shrinkage but the smoke is lovely. As soon as you take a bit she stops all thoughts in the mind immediately followed by complete muscle release and i would say moderate pain relief.
A medium strength Erb good for the evening and i just chilled out watchin southpark and fell asleep shortly after for a really good nights sleep which is perfect for me, i will definitely grow this gal again ๐โ๏ธ

Day 35 I wish this plant was bigger. Could be my fault. Her transition to flower was at such an odd time(3weeks) and thatโs when her last feeding was coming to an end but should I give her flower nutes early? Do half an half? Or just wait and then give flower? I waited and I shouldnโt have considering that organic inputs take time to feed your plants. Depending on what youโre using. First time trying Gaia green. I do like the ease of it but it would take some adjustments for me to utilize it best. A month between feeding is too long for my impatient ass and it gives me too long of a commitment to not fuck up. Iโm also using roots organics with some other plants and Iโm really liking the weekly feedings. It makes more sense than a month. What if I have a strain thatโs like 10 week flower? Do I just do another dose at week 7 and 8 and then because itโs โorganic you donโt need to flushโ thing. Probably over thinking it but yeah hereโs my plant yall ๐

So Roots have hit water and starting to take off I did a water change of 10 gallons and mixed up Jacks at
3.6 grams per gallon
2.4 grams per gallon
1.1 grams per gallon
Tree Trunk silica 1 ml per gallon added first
Southern Ag Garden Friendly Biological Fungicide At 2 ml per gallon
This brought ppm up to 750 ph6.2 Iโm very pleased with the growth rate and the way Iโm starting to see new growth I set light at 22 inches

Hi everyone :-) .
This week she continued to develop very well ๐.
It was poured twice with 1 l each time.
She got training again (topping) and will get it a few more times so that she becomes a real bush :-).
Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked.
Until then, have fun and stay healthy ๐๐ป
