Into Week 8 now and really filling out. A good solid healthy outdoor plant with little to no extra care or intervention so far, really happy with it and excited to see how it finishes out. Scratched in some Coast of Maine Fish Bone Meal toward the end of the week and then lightly watered in for a little feed.

We're beyond excited to try out this new MarsHydro LED for our latest grow, the SP-3000 is INCREDIBLY bright!! ..I have never seen a light more appropriate for a 4x2 tent in my life, we (happily) replaced 3 "600 watt" blurple LEDs with this single rig ( something we've wanted for a very long time). There should be no issue achieving perfect coverage, corner to corner with this light. Its been years since we've flowered under LED ( and never one of this quality), we're a little bias towards HID/CMH, especially my hubby but I think this might just be the LED that changes our mind! We'll be growing Gelat OG Auto by Seedsman (we've heard amazing things) for our first grow under the SP-3000, all plants in 5gl fabric pots, Promix-B (25% perlite) on a 20/4hr cycle. We're starting with 4 plants but if they become unmanageable, we'll move one or 2 of the plants to another tent. We use a glass of water and a paper towel as our germination method. We soak seeds roughly 24hrs and then in a wet paper towel for another 12-24hrs, we average roughly a 90% success rate doing it this way... Thank you for reading if you made it this far and happy harvests everyone! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ˜ฝ๐Ÿ’จ โšกMars Hydro/SP-3000โšก Specifications โš™๏ธ: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total) Driver: Meanwell 300watt ๐Ÿ”Œ (300Wยฑ5% @AC120V-277V) PPF: 824umol/S โ˜ข๏ธ PPE: 2.8 ยตmol/j ใ€ฐ๏ธใ€ฐ๏ธ Lifespan: >50k hrs โŒ› Veg Coverage: 3 x 5 ft ๐ŸŒฑ Flowering Coverage: 2 x 4 ft ๐ŸŒผ Weight: 10.1 lbs (4.6kg) -No-fan design: the SP-3000 uses an aluminum heatsink, and the driver can be removed then placed outside the tent๐ŸŒก๏ธโฌ‡๏ธ -IP65 waterproof ratings, tolerant to high humidity grow environments ๐Ÿ’ฆ .. -Up to 30 of these lights can be daisy-chained together and controlled from a single light! ๐Ÿ’ก~๐Ÿ’ก~๐Ÿ’ก~๐Ÿ’ก~๐Ÿ’ก ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ 10/10/21 ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿ˜บ 100% germination!!

My permanent marker plants are looking really interesting! The short and stocky one with the purple leaves is super vibrant. I love that pop of color against the green of the other plants. It's a little different from the taller plant, which has this really cool stacked-up look to it. I'm curious to see if those stacked-up leaves will change color too. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

The gas tax x obama runtz is a disappointment so far just like my skunk apple runtz starting to realize how much work legit breeders actually put in to make a good strain. The plant liked being topped it just has not hit its stride yet it definitely going to be a skiny lady The day has come and it's time to flip these ladies to flower. I was planning on letting them go untill Friday and let the smaller ones grow just a bit more but they will be fine. I have the eternity cup contest in mind and I'm thinking timing so I need to get these lady done and out my tent lol. This past week I turned the light up alot getting them ready to flower they have grown a bunch inhavendone lst maybe 5 it 6 times on the branchs and they arw nit bendy anymore that will help durring flower.

Temps have been hitting 30c last week due to sunny weather and no a/c but its still smashing its way through its cycle. Honestly if your looking for a high terp, dank looking easy growing weed to grow, I suggest you buy this and thank me later. Humboldt have smashed it out the park with this strain. OK the buds aren't massive but it smells like fruit loops and is so sticky. We had a cheeky smoke as I ripped a bud off last week and it tastes exactly as it smells. Very sweet and punchy ๐Ÿ˜„ high thc as we were pretty high after it. Certainly the best start to my coco growing. Only started Flawless finish Monday and will flush for 5-7days Massive thanks to PharmaZ for sorting us out and helping us along, top bloke go follow ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป Stay turned and happy growing fam โค๏ธ๐Ÿ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Been away for more than a week so unfortunately missed week 3 of the diary. During my absence baby girl grew well and became pretty big already, especially considering her state before. Decided to try LST and brought down the top branch. She starts to show couple of white hairs so next week should be the start of flowering. Branch went up well on the next day after tie down. Removed larger leaves blocking the light, baby looks great.

Last week the plants grew looking very healthy although I still have a feeling the low humidity is slowing their growth, by the end of the first week I started raising the EC to make the increasing for this week smoother, run-off EC is substantially increasing so I will start to fertigate them twice a day for this week.

This plant was an absolute dream to. Grow, no issues at all with health of plant, just struggled to tame her as she was a a thick strong climber ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช. I'm so impressed with how this turned out, I could have flushed for another 3 days to make it 12days but I needed the space. After The 2 days of dark I was recommended I can definitely say it has vastly boosted her trichomes and the smell when I opened the tent blew my head away ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‹ Aiming for a 10-14 day hang dry, The 10-12 weeks curing in jars with humidity packs. I will update with a dry bud weight and smoke test ๐Ÿ‘Œ Bud wet weight is just 500g+ Final bud dry weight is 298g. Of juicy resinous purple and orange buds ๐Ÿ˜ smells like sherbert and hang dry smoke test revealed a candy sherbert, no banana yet but hoping like the grow it matures with cure process now. Hits eyes straight away, sandy bottom kids, giggles, munchies, fun time with Mrs, bed. Full cycle with this one very happy over here ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’š FAT BANANA AUTO FROM ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS, big thank you to the team, and the breaders. What a pheno I received. I appreciate you all

I ran into some issues with the pan dragon f1. I fried her with nutes as you can see by the leaves, but the rest are fine. Iโ€™ll be taking them down day 70

๐Ÿ‘‰Alrighty Then๐Ÿ‘ˆ ๐Ÿ‘‰Purple Punch F1๐Ÿ‘ˆ So we are now moving into week 6 of flower and everything is looking good ๐Ÿ‘ Had some real nice growth this week , had to do a little leaf management๐Ÿ‘ˆ Low Stress Training to pull the lower branches out .... We also did a topping of this one , as she was getting pretty tall ๐Ÿ˜ณ Everything is looking good ๐Ÿ‘sidenote , I am using my well water which is hard so I am having slight issues ๐Ÿ˜… So ive up'd the nutrients to accommodate the moving to Flower ..... Soil by Promix Nutrients by Cronks Lights by MarsHydro.ca FC4800 X UR45 X Adlite Deep Red And Blue Tent 4x4x6.5 & Equipment by MarsHydro.ca High reflectivity inner mylar Thick Oxford fabric Smooth heavy duty zipper Sturdy metal frame Zipper blackout cloth Good anti light leakage performance The 6in Inline kicks ass moves alot of air โ—Blue Light Effect: Blue light shortens internodes, resulting in shorter, stronger plants, ideal for supporting fruit development later. During vegetative growth, blue light promotes lateral branch development effectively. Well this should be fun ๐Ÿ™ƒ Thanks to all my growmies out there for stopping by its much appreciated ๐Ÿ‘ˆ ๐Ÿ‘‰Happy Growing๐Ÿ‘ˆ

This entry covers days 15-23. Same as last week, there is a timelapse! I hope you check it out. (Timelapse to be added ASAP! The internet is too slow to upload it now! This past week I've upped the nutrients to about 410 ppm. This is a stronger nutrient solution than the one I used for my GSC at this age. I decided to up the nutrients so much because I noticed my leaves were a bit light in color, which I thought might be because it was lacking enough nutrients. Unfortunately the leaves are still this same light green at the end of this week, as well as some light splotches. Today, day 23, has seen some confusion. I found what I thought to be root rot, but turned out to be a nutrient buildup. I treated this using Jef79's suggestion of rinsing with water than matches the pH and temperature of my reservoir. I know the brown roots were from this nutrient build up because simply rinsing them helped a lot. After resolving this issue, I bound her down for some low stress training.
