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:

So far so good. 3 plants all m39xgdp photo periods. All in Pro Mix HP under 240w quantum boards 3500k. Middle one was actually from a seed that popped 2 plants it was growing slow at first but is now catching up nice. I took clones from all 3 a week ago. All topped and some lst. The one on the right I damaged the roots on it transplanting but it seems to be bouncing back well these last 2 weeks. Plant on the left has been great had slight nute burn early but corrected it. Also the b52 I swap every other feeding woth cal mag. Will be feeding big bud in 2 weeks and also will use overdrive in the last 2 weeks.
Day 7 of 12/12 decided to strip the lowers off the plants , branches that will never make it to the top. May strip again in week 3. I just hacked it all in 1 shot to give them stress in 1 go rather then over multiple days . Hopfully this has a positive impact.

Actual veg period is 3 weeks my grow is from seedling. Plants seem to look healthy. The 1000 watt hps puts out some heavy heat, so airflow and humidity have been my struggles . looking to add ac ventilation in the next week to maintain below 80. Added trellis(It’s my first lol) and topped two plants will top more as they grow.

Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion
Day 96 - Watered with 3 litres of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. She required extensive defoliation this week, to allow more light to reach the lower bud sites. She is bulking really well and is probably just about finished, so I'm expecting her to begin the maturity process now 👍🏻

Que Pasa familia,Tenemos cambios , 12/12 empieza lo bueno(floración), empieza a oler el cuarto a un aroma especial 😉, os voy a dejar muchos vídeos para que no tengáis ninguna queja.

Just another photo dump lol This girl is proving to be a slow finish for me. Going on to week 16 now and I’ve decided to give her the flush as her trichs are all starting to go amber. I felt I’ve traded enough potency for yield now and I don’t think she’s really racking on much more weight. This might be the last update until after harvest. Up until it’s time to trim and jar. Wish me luck folks. I’m thinking I’ll be close to a half pound of this fatty 😍😂

All in all this was an amazing harvest I usually have around 8-10 plants and harvest anywhere from 24-36 ozs per harvest with the 8 plants I had this harvest including the biscotti mintz and cookies USA I ended up with 898g total dry weight with all top quality flower. I’ve learned some things with all my previous runs when it comes to dialing in my quality and yield and definitely watching for those herms because I like to push my plants to the max when it comes to training !
GMO PUnch -Greenpoint
I’m giving this a total score of 7-10!
Biscotti Mintz- Barney’s farm
Total score 10-10
Cookies USA score
7-10

hi to all, brothers of the weed! Welcome to Peaky's Enchanted Gardens
this week we will get rid of all excess nutrients by rinsing the plants with only pH balanced water and push them to also get rid of accumulated reserves!
kiss kiss to all
you are the best

Needed a little cal mag. Moved the plants to a tent and I haven’t seen signs of needing to feed but it’s the 5th week so I added mutes at a weaker strength. Also started using molasses week 4 once or twice a week

Week 16
Everybody is on Flower!
End of August: daylight 13h20: 7h20/20h40.
Day temperature max: 26°C - Night temperature : 17°C
Sunny weather - 2/3 rainy days in 2 weeks
Enriched the soil with seaweed powder and bat guano.
Continue to add flowering nutrients: Grower Master
I added some Calmag one time.
Watering 2L/plant every 3 days (2 days would be better)
With humidity growing and the relatives hot temperatures: the predators are attacking plants. Everything appears so fast: Aphids, caterpillars, leaf miner flies. Did a general defoliation before spray my mixture Garlic + laurel (12cl Garlic juice + 5cl laurel infusion + 1L distilled water: beware PH!!). I sprinkled diatomaceous earth on top of soil to protect and minimize the infestation.
Brake Pad Breath: still deep green and bushy. Flowering since 4 weeks. The most advanced, pretty good flowers with long pistils are growing. Spared until now: the plant is victim of Aphids, miner leaf flies and caterpillars in a « reasonable way »….try to eradicate the problem without shocking the plant at this stage.
Flash Back#2: around 2 weeks flowering, stretched a few centimeters more, well developed plants with lot of blooming sites. Relatively spared by pests, just some aphids.
GMO X Zombie Kush: some difficulties to recover….just engaged the flowering process, not to bad if she resist to the second pest’s wave.
Royal Moby: uncertain destiny….recovering good, sativa style: 155cm, just starting the flowering stage…super late!
Harvested a pretty auto flower: White Russian by Serious Seeds. Well developed plant, a little bit long to be ready but resinous and meaty buds.

man o man, these look great! I am so pleased with how they turned out. The buds are hard little nuggets with tons of red hairs and tight buds all over the place. Definitely recommend Brothers in Farms

1st week of transition in the books and they continue to advance slowly, albeit with limited signs of the start of stretch. Side branching development continues to be a challenge with the excessive fan leaf growth - it’s like the plant is just pushing all its resources into making bigger leaves so it’s been a constant battle to cut back the growth that keeps overshadowing the lowers. We’ll see where it goes but I remain unimpressed with overall growth characteristics.
No deficiency issues and plants have yet to sexually mature to determine gender and final count. Alls good👍.
