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:

I started with three Blackberry Moon Rock seeds, and two of them sprouted – awesome! These girls are loving life, reaching for the sky as the tallest plants in my tent. They're already about six inches tall, and they're taking up all the nutrients very well without any nute burn.
Both blackberry moonrocks plants are very similar height although they have very different looks to them. The one of the 2 definitely going ti strech alot more than the other. One has internodes about 1 cm apart rn and the other is about 3/4 to 1 inch between nodes.
Happy late turkey day grow diaries world!!!! It's now day 24 from seed for all the seedlings I have going. The past few days the plants have really started to take off. There roots have really started to dig in. Every other water I am still giving 2ml per gal of fox farm grow big. I keep having to tell myself not to add any more nutes other than that. I don't want to fry my plants but I also want they to start jumping. I'm quite excited for the coming week, I think the next 7 days or so is when the plant really starts to transform and look more like a pot plant than just some random little green thing.
A few days ago I decided to move the plants from under my 55w cheep amazon light to under my spider farmer 100w newer version light with the good leds in it. The plants will hopefully be ready to up pot them here soon and get them in the large tent.
Sometimes when growing multiple different strains it can be really hard to balance giving to much or to little light. You don't want the faster growing plants to get to stretched out waiting on the slower plants to catch up
I spend Thanksgiving day morning transplanting the plants into 2gal pots. I am useing spme promix potting soil it's my 1st time tring this soil. It is actually doing really well the roots were all white and nice looking. I think next time I'm going to add some worm casting, kelp, granular mycos, and a little bit extra perlite. I just didn't have the money with christmas coming to splurge for all the extra stuff. I got rid of 2 plants 1 of the bubble og and 1 skunk apple runtz. There is only room for 10 pots in the 2x4 tent. I will peob only bring 8 of them to flower, always good to have back ups. Yesterday I also stuck the plants back under the 500w medicgrow mini sun 2 in my 2x4 tent. They did great under it the 2nd half the day I was happy they didn't get stressed. I had put them under that light a little early about 10 days ago or so. I am expecting in a week these plants will ge going crazy with growth

83 days from seed, soil was hot from day 1 & I ended up stunting the plants this run... Low yield at 28g but end product still turned out great!
Smelled like straight chem with none of the extras during flower & has managed to maintain that during the cure so far as well!
Grown in Black Swallow living soil with Cronks PUUR Organics line

It’s the eighth week of flowering, and the plant is looking absolutely gorgeous!
The buds and leaves have turned a deep purple with rich autumn hues, giving the plant such a unique, almost magical appearance.
The sweet smell has become even stronger and fills the whole grow space with a powerful, sugary aroma. 🍬🌿
I’ve noticed the trichomes starting to turn an amber color—just the sign I’ve been waiting for!
Most of them are still milky, but the amber hints show we’re getting close. This week, I’ve started the flushing process to clear out any remaining nutrients and prepare for harvest. 💧
Everything’s on track, and I couldn’t be more excited for the final steps! 😁✨

This was my very first indoor grow in my cupboard with my 1 strain Do-Si-Wine and the other 1 Sunset-Sherbet.
Growing the Do-Si-Wine was very fun and this strain especially is also quite tricky to LST because during the Vegetation the plant grows long and slinky, because of this I experienced a snap on week 6.
(Here are my notes of the 6th Week)
30th September 2020
( 11cm in height )
The Do-Si-Wine is growing very well, a very moderate growth as it says in it’s subscription, but none the less still a very beautiful grow so far.
The bottom 4 colas are all stress trained to the edges of the pot to ensure each branch from each cola gets to grow outwards in its own space and to get more light.
The stem is about 0.7cm thick which is not that thick compared to the SunSet Sherbet.
While writing this I noticed my she has SNAPPED from her previous stress straining session, I was checking out the stem thickness and noticed the main stem had snapped. But luckily this is not the first this happened and I know how to fix this. To fix this all you need is some tape, now see if the plant didn’t completely break off you can still tape the plant back together and the plant should heal itself within a few days, although I need to wait a bit before I stress train this one again.
She started making pistols🤗, but I’m not sure if this is because of the snap or if it’s getting ready to start blooming.
All the side branches from the bottom 4 colas are all nice and long growing at a nice rate.
The leaves are nice and strong reaching ( 11cm in length )
My experience from growing Do-Si-Wine 🎶🍷 from Cape Ape Seed seed bank is very good so far, on the site it says moderate growth difficulty and it is quite accurate compared to the Sunset Sherbet’s easy growth difficulty, it’s quite fun working with a moderate growth because the plant needs more tending to, for instance the side branches are thinnish and need to be stress trained often to reach the end of the pot, the plant is also very stiff because she snapped without me realising and had to tend to the break a day later.
Also while growing this plant I noticed that the plant’s leaves are very dark green and the bud it’s going carry is going to be white so I can’t wait to see how she makes her buds.
(Notes Done)
So when I harvested on the 29 December 2020 (Week 19)
I have definitely learned a lot about this strain, this strain is extremely exotic and is impossible to find and growing this strain was such a blessing as well being able to smoke top shelf exotic weed straight out of your Cupboard

Buds are hard as stone. I have never encountered such bads! They are very compact, and have a respectable density of trichomes. Not the best but sufficient. When one plant produces such an insane amount of good flowers, it's hard not to be satisfied. In the meantime everything looks great Except for the mold I found in some of the flowers. I took off about two large branches that were infected with mold. , I cleaned all the mold I could find and lost about 50 grams of pressed flowers that went to waste because of the mold. The final weight of 400 grams is after I threw the flowers with the mold of course. 400 grams of great flowers, I'm just blown away!! Highly recommend trying and growing this strain.

Harvest update on flowering day 75
since the time change to 12/12 hrs.
Hey everyone ☺️👍.
Today there is a short update of the harvest before the last update after the fermentation comes 😀👍.
Both phenotypes were very easy to cut due to their very good bud to leaf ratio ☺️.
I already like both phenotypes in terms of smell, although I have to say that Phenotype 1 smells much better and fruity 😍.
Was trimmed clean by hand with disinfected scissors :-).
Before harvest, both plants were given complete darkness for 48 hours.
The trichomes are 70% milky and 30% amber 😍.
You can now dry for 7-12 days on the net at 62% humidity.
Then it goes for another 12-17 weeks in the glasses with 62% boveda packs which are then changed to 58% boveda packs :-).
Until then and for the final harvest update, I wish you all a lot of fun.
Stay healthy and let it grow 👍🍀

14.12. F43
General Overview
• Flower Day 43, deep into Week 6 of bloom.
• Overall performance remains very strong — nutrition, structure, bud development, and system stability are all on point.
• Despite ongoing airflow challenges, the grow will be taken all the way to harvest.
⸻
Airflow & Mildew Situation
• A second fan positioned low in the tent was added to push air upward through the canopy.
• While this improves circulation, it is still not enough to fully eliminate powdery mildew under these dense conditions.
• At this stage, the situation is accepted as damage control rather than prevention.
• Long-term, the lesson is clear: future runs will require even more internal circulation with multiple clip fans to constantly disrupt stagnant air pockets.
• For now, infected leaves continue to be removed manually to keep the buds as clean as possible.
⸻
Plant & Bud Development
• Buds are developing beautifully — dense, well-formed, and stacking nicely across all main colas.
• Resin production is increasing, and the plants remain visually healthy despite the mildew pressure.
• The canopy structure is strong and uniform, and the stretch has fully settled.
⸻
Feeding & System Performance
• Feeding is now aligned with Week 6 of the BioTabs flowering schedule, followed exactly as recommended.
• Nutrient uptake is flawless — no deficiencies, no excess, no imbalance.
• BioTabs continues to impress with its consistency and simplicity, especially when paired with the AutoPot automatic irrigation system.
• This combination has proven to be extremely reliable: steady moisture, steady nutrition, minimal intervention, maximum plant performance.
But now i need a dehumidification device?!
⸻
Looking Ahead
• The plan is to finish the run cleanly, maintain airflow as best as possible, and continue selective leaf removal.
• Harvest decisions will depend on how the mildew situation develops in the coming weeks.
• A full post-harvest deep clean is already planned to ensure the next cycle starts in a completely sterile environment.
⸻
🌸 Flower Day 43 Summary:
Week 6 of flower is running perfectly from a nutritional and system perspective. Buds look excellent, BioTabs + AutoPot perform flawlessly, and plant health remains strong. Powdery mildew is still present due to airflow limitations, but the grow will be carried through to harvest with careful management and aggressive sanitation afterward

Flipped them this morning. Did 7 weeks of veg and flipped to darkness for 48 hours starting today. This will be a true test of “fast flowering”. If they take 60 days to finish I’m good!

Day 77 - June 18
June 18 - 06.00AM One Amber trichome found. Will water with 5L of water at 6.3PH this morning. Wilted leaves are still springy. I'd like to defoliate but will wait until they're completely wilted.
June 18 - 06.45AM Soil is still cold, a little moist. I'll water at approximately 9AM
June 18 - 10.45AM Removed dead leaves to avoid pests (as sharing tent with outdoor plants at night).
June 18 - 10.45AM Watered 4.5L to runoff at 6.3PH. Time taken approximately 1 hour to saturate soil.
June 19 - 09.00AM Trichomes are starting to morph from clear to cloudy. Each clear head is now about 50% cloudy. There are slightly more light amber trichomes appearing. I suspect just under a week remaining.
June 20 - 07.00PM Found another amber trichome on a more developed cola. With more half-clear trichomes becoming cloudy. I suspect I'll chop in 5 days or so. Leaf necrosis is developing further with some fan leaves (with trichomes) are decaying. I'd really like to see more purple by this stage, but I'll settle for a pineapple fade.
June 22 - 08.20AM Temperature ate 78F at ground level. TOO HIGH! Had to turn the AC off due to partner being cold overnight. Possibly lost terpines+potency - frustrated. Trichomes still seem too clear for my liking.
June 22 - 10.40AM Watered 4-5L to runoff at 6.3PH. Should have watered yesterday, though pot was still relatively heavy. Removed one dead leaf resting on budsite.
June 23 - 06.00AM Removed a few dead leaves. Trichomes are still cloudy. Some milky, it's close - though little to no ambers.
June 24 - 07.00PM Removed more dead leaves + 1 healthy accidentally. Trichomes are about the same. Removed all LST ties.
