Hey Growmies!
I'm buzzing with excitement to share my latest project: two top-notch grow environments. Each tent is a lush green oasis, accommodating 9 plants, all conveniently set on plant rollers. We're employing a smart mix of Scrog (Screen of Green) and Sog (Sea of Green) techniques here. Imagine this: each plant enjoys its individual Scr.o.G., connected right to its air-pot, allowing for effortless mobility and care within the tent. Sounds cool, doesn’t it?
Positioned in a cooler room, I've strategically installed a Solea infrared heater, seamlessly controlled by an Inkbird ITC-308 temperature controller, to maintain a cozy climate. For ideal humidity, each tent is equipped with a Spider Farmer Cool Mist humidifier. Originally, I aimed to have identical setups in both tents, but as all cultivators know, adaptation is key. I ran into an automation snag with the UR45 lights due to their single plug and UV/IR switches. This meant I couldn't run IR in the mornings and evenings and UV during the day without manual intervention. Thus, in Tent 1, I’ve opted for two UR45 lights: one always on IR and the other on UV, each managed by a Meross smart plug.
The Mars Hydro app is at the helm of the light and in-line fan controls, although it's got its limitations. The ITC-308 oversees the infrared heater, and the humidifier self-regulates. Overall, I'm loving the setup, yet I'm already contemplating an upgrade to a single grow controller for all devices in the future.
This grow season is extra special as I’m collaborating with Anesia Seeds and Ganja Farmer Seeds. They've sponsored some amazing strains for this venture. In Tent #1, I'm growing ‘Epic Buzz’, ‘Red Banana Pudding’, and ‘Pink Matcha Slush’ from Anesia Seeds, starting with three seeds of each. Tent #2 will feature ‘Caramel’, ‘GMO’, and ‘Bruce Banner x White Russian’ from Ganja Farmer Seeds, also with three plants each. I will meticulously document their growth journeys in individual grow diaries. Dive into each strain's story through these links:

Destiny has given me a wonderful climate so far but from the 18th the weather will change completely, precisely in the last 10 days of flowering which fortunately is very accelerated by the anomalous heat, especially at night.
Typical late summer weather here, kinda for weed.
First storm is expected on Saturday, I'm ready to protect them. I've made the last rearrangement of the tent, trying to give more room to the vigorous and overflowing Pineapple Kush so I've rised the roof to 110". The plants are all carefully sprayed with thyme extract to control mites infection, it seems to work, infection is stable from 1 week. I kill manually 20/30 bedbugs a day. During nighttime, maybe a monster grasshopper, is munching some leaves, at this point I don't care, I have to defoliate anyway and these bastards don't chew buds, for now.
Perfect filling, very frosty, enormous main bus is forming and a dozen of big & fat lateral colas are ripening. Pine resin/wet earth scent. Expected harvest time September 4th week but she's ripening fastly so maybe she can gnaw her sister Gorilla a few days.
Last week with nutes

This week was so mixed with the ladies and the heat issue we had this week. Cherry Bomb seemed to be the only one who didn't care that it got hot the rest have burned leaves from the heat. But they all are bouncing back and should be looking better over the next week.

I’m afraid it’s not going to happen with this poor girl

I've been waiting for at least some trichomes to turn amber. I prefer to harvest when there are at least a few amber. I took the PL2 3 days before the PL1. Flushed them for a week only

Día 15 de vegetación de Tropicanna Poison XL (Día 20 desde germinación)
El crecimiento de nuestra Tropicanna Poison XL sigue con un buen ritmo. Aparecieron algunos pulgones, pero los eliminamos con Bio Pets, un pesticida orgánico nacional (Chile). También agregamos micorizas, calmag, bio grow de BAC y Nirvana de Advanced Nutrients.
Actualizacion día 21 de VEGETA (Día 27 desde la germinación)
El FENO 2 se a espigado considerablemente, se pone una base para que este mas cerca de la luz led
Al parecer el FENO 3 es el mas estable de los 3 especimenes.

---GENERAL COMMENT---
Girls are at day 4 technically, but i like to update Sunday always, so keep that in mind, is 1/2 a week now.
From germination to soil emerging took 3-4 days, no issues at all. 100% germination rate from multiple breeders till now.
I will try my best to do a stress free grow again, so will grow mainly naturally.
---RQS EASY BUD---
Ironically the Easy bud is developing better and growing faster than her sister.
---DAY 10 UPDATE---
Over some days she got volume, just started to use RECHARGE, and wow, that thing works, 48H you could tell something is different, since watering with it the stem is thicker and is growing more vigorous, lets see how it will impact overall!
---DAY 14 UPDATE. WEEK 2 FINAL---
This is the last day of this week and this girl is absolutely amazing, she grew a lot, showing already the intension of shooting up more stems, i'm very happy with her, it has been a delight to grow, response in very good. Voodoo juice is of by now, will keep the recharge maintenance every other watering as i'm loving it.
Feeding program will start soon!

Ya comenzaron a comer muy bien! La semana que viene se agregan unas galponeras y luego se trasplanta a la cantela.
Teniendo en cuenta la luna, estaríamos trasplantando el jueves o viernes de la semana próxima.
03/05/2021
Tres plantas de las mas viejas comenzaron a amarillentas un poco, se estima que fue por una alta temperatura el fin de semana.
Veremos que sucede mañana al aplicar el combo de MEN de viejo brujo.

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩🌾 🧑🌾.🔥💨
As you can see these ladies are growing nicely.
They're both at the same height 59cm but one is wider than the other.
Quite nice so far. That's 12cm in one week same as the Royal Gorilla.
Evenly spread canopy, the one that had better shape from the start now has longer colas.
Both are stacking nodes nice and tight.
They have a nice green color to them but you can't really appreciate that in the pictures.
I'm still trying to get a hand of this new phone, I might just go back to the camera. 🤔
Starting to get a little shine to them, I think this strain will be the first in forming trichomes.
They give off a nice smell but I can't put my finger on it yet.
Feeding 1,5L each, every other day. Will be increasing as they ask for more.
How do they ask for more?
When feeding if the soil is drier than normal I give a 150-200ml increment of water.
I do that until they stop feeding so much then i just maintain that amount.
I start reducing if it takes longer to dry.
That works good for me. The old finger in the dirt trick. 👍
Nothing like knowing exactly what your ladies need first hand.
**Info and pictures were taken at day 12 of flower.**
Hope you enjoyed this week's update. Stay tuned for next week. 😃
If you like this check out the other diaries of the strains in the tent. 😄
Take care and stay safe!
One love!✌️🏽

Both are doing amazing, we’re cruising right now as I’ve slowly started dosing down the nutrients. The plants are looking well fed, all leaves are beautiful dark green, more towards a burn than any deficiencies! A nice fade is starting to kick in as well on both. I’ll be leaving on holiday upcoming week, and all the plants should be more than ready to harvest once I return! both pheno’s are incredibly icy, and smell super sweet and fruity. The buds truly look insane and I can’t stop looking at them 😍

- introduced 7W far red light bulb to boost stretching (girls are VERY bushy)
- slowly drying soil (so I drilled more holes on side of the pot like a cheap dyi airpot)
- preflower
Keyra (the bigger one) is what I would say a stretching phase and Margot (smaller) evidently falls behind but not stretching yet, I hope she catches her atleast little bit..

15 seeds germinated. 100% success rate. Seeds have been planted in a mix that has volcano ash and bat guano. The mix gets the seeds off to a great start without the worry of adding nutrients. Over the next few days they'll receive water twice a day.
We water about 100ml at a time 3x a day. We water in circular motion to encourage the roots to grow out.
