I had a horrible germination rate then the seedling I finally got was very weak. So I made the best of it, and finished the grow. Frosty buds nice color. Great smell. The Gen 1:11 nutrition works good. Was just the first time using it in DWC. Good looking nugs. Just not one of my best grows. Thank you Mars Hydro, Gen1:11, and Humboldt seed company. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Buenas gente Una vez más aquí, está vez un poco tarde por motivos de trabajo. Pero no, nos olvidamos de nuestra querida planta. Se le práctico otra poda apical, se cambió de maceta y se pasó a floración hoy mismo después de un riego foliar. Llevada con riegos de The hype company en breve empezamos con los de flora para estimular un mejor desarrollo. Así que veremos cómo sigue en la siguiente

Hello guys, The og cream project has reached the fourth week of flowering😍 From the appearance of the plants and flowers, I can see beautiful, dense, fragrant buds. You can see the characteristics of the mother plant in the appearance of the flowers. But the smell is a little more pungent and intense 😋 The plants are all growing healthily. I posted a photo of the difference in temperature between night and day😍 Thank you for your comment🙏 "farah4weed"

-Huge size difference between all 3 plants: Plant #1: 41cm Plant #2: 85cm Plant #3: 114cm -Defoliated all 3 plants. -I'm not sure why there is such a big size difference between the plants. Does anybody have a guess? -Plant #1 definitely seems to be significantly more mature. The buds are drastically more developed, frosty with much more trichomes, and many orange hairs already. The other plants are far behind it. -Plant #1 has a very sharp mint and lime smell to it, the other 2 are very skunky. -Very difficult to keep a consistent light distance between all 3 plants now, even when plant #1 is propped up on a bucket. My light can't go much higher now, and plant #3 is only about 6 or 7cm under it.

It's been a great week for the seedlings! They've really taken off and are looking strong. I'm planning to transplant them into larger pots in the next few days, so next week's photos should show some impressive growth. I'm so excited to see how they thrive in their new homes! I've been giving them distilled water from the start, and I'm still doing that, but I just started adding 10 milliliters of Fox Farm Big Bloom and 1 milliliter of Fox Farm Grow Big. All of the seedlings are doing really well, and there's not really any visible difference between all the ten strains. I started all ten packs of each strain and kept all the best seedlings, so that's why they're all doing so well.

Title: 100% ChatGPT-Guided Grow – 12/12 Fast Flower Test (With Supervision) Hey growers! This grow is an experiment: I'm letting ChatGPT guide my entire grow cycle, from lighting to nutrients to environmental tweaks. It’s all based on AI suggestions. Of course, I’ll still be keeping a close eye on things — if I see something going wrong or the plants aren’t vibing with the plan, I’ll step in. But the idea is to test how far AI can take a grow under controlled conditions. Strains – All from @Sweet_Seeds (F1 Fast Version): Mental Rainbow F1 Fast Version Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version S.A.D. Sweet Afgani Delicious F1 Fast Version Gorilla Girl F1 Fast Version Setup: Coco in 20L @MarsHydroLED SmartPots Grow tent: @SecretJardin DR240W Lighting: 2x 720W LM301H EVO LEDs 12/12 from seed Germination: May 14th / Main grow starts May 20th Nutrients: Hy-Pro Coco A/B CalMag Pro, @BAC Silica Power, F1 Extreme Booster Irrigation: Week 1 hand watering, then Blumat pH starts at 5.8 CO₂ supplementation via natural gas system (Spider Farmer GGS) Goal: Complete a full grow cycle in 10 weeks or less, from seed to harvest. Updates will be posted in a personal yet informative style — a hybrid of stoner chill and data-driven grow logs. Let’s see what AI can do in the grow tent. Stay tuned! 🤖🌿 🌱 Weeks 1–3 (May 20 – June 9) – Seedling to Early Flower (Stretch Phase) Goals: Strong root development, firm stem structure, controlled stretch Light: 12/12, start at ~500 PPFD → ramp up to 800 PPFD (day 14–21) CO₂: 1500 ppm (only active when lights are on and temps 26°C) Temperature: 26–28°C day / 22–24°C night RH: Start at 70% → gradually lower to 60% Nutrients (EC ramp-up): Start EC: 1.0 → increase to 1.4 Plagron Cocos A+B + CalMag Pro (0.2 EC tap water) Always mix Silica Power first (0.1 ml/L) Actions: Week 2: Start light defoliation on lower leaves Week 3: Begin LST if desired pH: 5.8 throughout the veg phase 🌸 Weeks 4–5 (June 10 – June 23) – Flowering Phase 2 (Bud Set) Goals: Initiate flower formation, maintain healthy leaf mass, stimulate bloom EC: 1.5–1.7 (monitor Blumat watering rate carefully) RH: 55–60% Nutrients: Plagron Cocos A+B CalMag Pro Silica Power (0.1 ml/L – only until end of week 5) Start B.A.C. F1 Extreme Booster at half dose, watered manually twice a week Light: 900–1000 PPFD if plants can handle it 🌼 Weeks 6–7 (June 24 – July 7) – Flowering Phase 3 (Bud Building) Goals: Develop dense flower structure, maximize flowering potential EC: Up to 1.8 max RH: 45–50% Nutrients: @Plagron Cocos A+B + CalMag Pro @BAC. F1 Extreme Booster at full strength Actions: Final defoliation at beginning of week 6 Inspect leaves regularly for airflow and mold prevention 💧 Weeks 8–9 (July 8 – July 21) – Ripening Phase Goals: Maximize terpenes, trichome maturity, flush medium Week 8: EC: taper down to 1.4 Stop using booster Optional single flush with enzymes (manual watering) Week 9: Only plain tap water through Blumat (~0.2 EC) Temperature: 24–26°C Dim lights to ~600 PPFD for final 3–4 days ✂️ Week 10 (July 22 – July 28) – Harvest Trichome check: Aim for 10–20% amber with a loupe Optional: 48 hours darkness before harvest Temperature: Keep low (20–22°C) to preserve terpenes Deadline: Harvest no later than July 28 Powered by the new 2025 @SpiderFarmerLED GGS system.. Detailed setup (only SF parts mentioned here): SF GGS Grow Light Controller (1x) SF GGS AC10 Kit (1x) SF GGS 6 Inch Clip Fans (2x) SF GGS 6 Inch Inline Duct Fan (1x) SF GGS SensorPro Kit SF Ultrasonic Humidifier May 20 – CO₂ moved outside, lighting dilemma, and a warm future ahead Moved the CO₂ generator outside the tent today. Immediate win: steady 700 PPM from just the pilot light, no active burn needed. When turned off, it drops neatly to 400 PPM, matching the calibration point. Double-checked with the Dimlux CO₂ sensor—readings line up perfectly. Still no tracking info for the originally ordered lights, so out of impatience I grabbed two new 720W LM281B fixtures from Germany this afternoon. Should arrive Friday/Saturday. It's a Trade Assurance order, so in theory, I'm covered. Now the question: let the seedlings coast at 259 µmol for two more days, or hang the old lights to boost them to 500 µmol? Eight out of twelve are already above soil, and honestly, I’d rather not mess with the current vibe. Leaning toward leaving them be—low stress, happy sprouts. Best part: temps dropped to 27.9˚C inside the tent now that the CO₂ generator’s out. Room itself is 24˚C, so all in all pretty chill. Curious what’ll happen once those dual 720W monsters fire up… it’s gonna get toasty, no doubt. 24/05: Stocked up on new Plagron nutes—finally. Now I can lock back into the full 10-week feeding plan (Plagron Cocos + B.A.C.). Flushing the res tonight and going full reset. Mixing fresh soup right after, dialed in to match this schedule: Week 1: Plagron Cocos A/B: 2 ml/L B.A.C. Silica Power: 0.2 ml/L Plagron CalMag Pro: 0.5 ml/L B.A.C. F1 Extreme Booster: 0 ml/L EC: 0.9–1.0 pH: 5.8 PPFD: 500 DLI: 22 RH Day: 70% RH Night: 65% CO₂: 700 ppm

It was finally time to harvest her, what good times we had with her. Amazed with how beautiful this plant is, how easy to manage and train and how rewarding Orange Hill Special is. So we said our thanks and goodbye, thanked her for all the joy she gave while growing her. I realize more and more how I love growing them even more than the end-product. It takes my mind of all going on for a while, in my miniature jungle world in the attic. Im sure all of you just sometimes sit there and watch them, in wonder, dreaming away with a good buzz on, watching them wave in the wind of the fans. So with a heavy hart I apologize, play them their last music, sit with them and feel them and smell them, watch the glistening of the cristals. In the end we had 209 gram dried Orange Hill Special, I will know the total of the grow, in a few days, since the final big whopper still has to dry: my XtraKush, be sure to check the harvest of that one *in couple of days) and see a one-dollar seed outperform two 10 dollar seeds. I probably go over 500 grams for the total grow, which would be 1.6 grams per watt. Big success! Consider an SP-3000 for your next light, you won't be disappointed! Check www.mars-hydro.com for the latest discounts! Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting us try out your light, it made this successful grow possible! Greetings and all the best! Thank you to our friends here, our followers and the whole Growing Diaries community for just being there. Big Hug, Sunshine and BioBuds

End of week 5 for Orange Sherbet FF. This week was better than the last week. She Starting to bounce back from her issues she is taking her time in developing and stretching slowly. No signs of pre-bloom yet. I just fed her Goldleaf feterlizer and did some defoliation to the bad leaves. Hopefully week 6 is better.

Started flowering few days ago and has responded fantastic to some Low stress training on plant #1. Defoliated plant #2, another 3 fan leafs to let in more light and air, in which these were blocking. Day 27 they we're thirsty again, still only using half dose. 5 gallon pot took 2 litres 3 gallon pot took 1.5 liters. Will alternate feed-water-feed from now on. Using magic evolution foliage spray for the next few weeks. Made a mistake of using this when lights were on, slight nute burn on a few leaf tips, either from not using in low light or obviously to much nutes, either way pots Felt dry anyway on day 29 so flushed them for the first time with Just Ph'd 6 water. Just over 3 liters to plant #1 & 2 liters to plant #2. As you can see leafs are a darker shade of green, been feeding too much N. I Will be cutting out the grow from now on out and gonna half dose the bloom. Stems are slightly purple so will use more of cal-mag as possible lack of magnesium. Noticed the temp has been dropping few degrees less than what I like during lights out so contemplating changing light schedule to 24/0 so it doesn't drop below 20.either this or a fan heater. Day 32 pots felt dry so I fed only ph'd water again to help sort draw out the Nitrogen. Day 35 nute feed. In a nice routine pots feeling light every 2-3 days

Things are goin by smoothly started to give them some calimagic in low doses so they can get use to it. The upper 4 more so towards the left I believe are white Runtz because they all have similarities, and the bottom three in a triangle are all mac and jacks because again they all have similarities, the last two smaller ones I believe may be gelato but I still don’t know. Goin to start giving them low dose feeds and gradually increase it. I’m gone try my best to upload every Thursday and make a YouTube video as well I will provide all links once things are set in stone. Any input is appreciated happy growings growmies

Shortest pheno has purple stigmas. Defoliating every couple days. The pheno in the front middle didn't grow as many shoots, plant structure looks different than the other 4. Has a musky smell.

Week 6 of to a good start! They look happy and healthy. Time to flip to flower soon! 👽👉3/10 Climate is automated and working accordingly to my adjusted VPD settings. Happy and healthy, actually surprised they've grown so much lately. 👽👉4/10 Waiting for their complete recovery, so they can be flipped to flower (Defoliation the 30/9, im giving them about a week) 👽👉5/10 Water day* Plain ph balanced water. Need Runoff PH and EC down a little bit. 👽👉6/10 I applied the SCROG net. 👽👉7/10 Doing some minor tweaks to the setup + VPD settings(from 1.0 to 1.1). Approaching the flip to flower, so VPD Did a bit of defoliation before the flip next week 👽👉8/10 Today, i learned from research on biobizz nutrients https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/biobizz-nutrients-answers-from-biobizz.78899/ (Direct answer from biobizz) With the answers, my view on feeding biobizz changed a bit, and i was luckily about to switch up the nutes. Good timing. Waterday* PH6.2 Introducing Biobizz CalMag(0.5ml/l) + BioBloom(0.25ml/l)+Topmax(0.25ml/l)+Rootjuice(0.25ml/l) Still 2ml/L Fishmix+BioHeaven(Fishmix will be switched out with BioGrow) 👽👉 9/10 Last day of the week for my plants and last day in veg! They look fantastic and well recovered at lights on! (Look at the before/after lights vids/pics) Raised VPD by 0.1: VPD settings(from 1.1 to 1.2)
