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:

Week 8!!! Her color is finally starting fade (about time lol) we're hoping she flushes fast from here.. we poked around and seeds don't seem to be as big an issue as once thought..her buds have swelled noticeably in the last 3 days, trichs are mostly cloudy..she's getting close 💪🐱💡🌱
08/05/21:
We purchased another new 315watt CMH to replace the 630watt that has been blowing bulbs (we were only running1 bulb in it lately)..the plants seem to do better for us with x2 315 lights spread out than 2 bulbs under the same hood..I'm really liking the wider spacing the clones have, they just finished their flower stretch under 315watts and the nodes are about 2-3 inches apart and not stacked tight like they usually were..we may buy another one of these lights just to have on hand...feel free to leave a comment or any suggestions that might help us improve, thank you for reading and happy growing everyone ❤️💡🌱🐈

Bueno, aquí están estas candy caramelo de Zambezaseeds, la verdad que esta genética me está gustando tienen bastante densidad y son algo chatas , los nudos están muy juntos y eso me gusta porque el cogollo compacta más a mi parecer.
Sigo regulando las condiciones del ph en cada riego en 6,2 y actualmente no supera el 50% de humedad ni sube de 26 grados.
Estando a finales de mayo not bad por las condiciones climáticas pensé que sería algo más complicado 🤷♂️.
Gracias a Mars hydro y a Zambezaseeds por hacer posible estos proyectos.

We're going on the start of week 4! These ladies are doing good , I've watered them 1/4 yesterday and now Im going to let them dry out further before doing the same thing . Im also going to be using Advanced Nutrients PH perfect Micro Grow formula starting next week . These ladies are going to be transplanted from their solo cups to 3 gallon pots on the end of week 6 , looking forward to that time . I'm excited to see what these ladies will produce !
Stay tuned for daily updates and weekly videos !
A big thank you to everyone who comes out to show their love and visit the diary !
Happy Growing!

Day#22 They were overwatered some I've reduced the amount . They seem to like it . Going to wait till the soil is a little dryer and repeat.
Day#23 Medium drying out quite quickly now ! Plants just chugging along !
Day#24 Transplanted them they needed it ! I bet they're going to love their new home ! Watered 1 cup each 450 ppm 6.0 PH
Day#25 Responding well to transplant
Day#26 Watered half cup each they are thirsty , no picture worked to late
Day#27 Responding well to watering , going to have to water more frequently I think .
Day#28 They are both growing well pushing up new nodes 5 leaf style .
Week notes : I find these ladies to be very thirsty for their water and CalMg 47#2 is really thirsty for the calmg shes showing signs of deficiencys already I've upped the calmg but we'll see what happens . On to next week !!

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step.
01/11/2019 -
Started using BioBizz Alg-a-Mic on spray, using it once per day at lights off, 1 or 2 puffs to create a light mist, only on non feed days,
I mixed 0.1ml on 100ml water 6.4 PH.
03/11/2019 - Gave her 250ml plain water with 6.4PH
05/11/2019 - Gave her 0,15ml of each BioBizz Grow, Max and Bloom on 300ml water 6 PH didn't manage to get it higher to 6.3 at least.
06/11/2019 - She started to show some pistols, probably entering pre-flower.
07/11/2019 - Soil was to dry due to 2930c temps gave her 0,500ml of 6.5PH water with 0,25ml Grow, 0,25ml Max, and 0,45ml Bloom BioBizz.

These girls are getting close to harvest.
Calyx closed & swelling up, most of the pistills turned orange/brown & are starting to curl in. Waiting on delivery of a new 60× microscope to check the trichomes , buds are very frosty.
Have stopped feeding nutrients & have started flushing with plain ph'd water.
Then reduced watering to twice a day so there not taking in as much moisture before harvest. Probably starve them of water completely for a couple of days to bring out more moisture, & apparently THC.
A lot of smell about them. Very sticky!

Hey there growers!! Sorry for skipping flower so bad.. here are some videos of the ninth and tenth week.
No excuses, but someone stole from me back then and I didn't feel like making videos for a couple of weeks.
But the experience went on, the female plant reversed and it's pollinating itself with my help like you see in the videos. Sorry again for the Spanish audio 😅

Strong week. Finished at 2.2 ec. Clean water. Flora flex nutes are top notch. No dirty brown water. Ph fluctuates a bit. If you check on daily you are good.

Day 79, 28th of November 2020:
I really wanna see how she will end up looking in the end because she is such a beauty too!!!!
Not much to say she does her own things creating buds and all that. I am actually happy for all this. Nice plant :)
Fertilization is still the same every
second day with the rationand mixture above stated.
The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min.
Last week was 15 min longer light cycle....
So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

This was a sad little plant, if only the fucking birds did not eat the original plant. They are so bloody annoying.
Over all plant did ok, just the runt size is a massive let down.
Will just dry this and give it to a friend to smoke. This had a twin in terms of being a runt and that was with Rainbow Candy XL, and a few Dinamed seeds as well I found in the garden.
@GanjaFarmerSeeds, If you like the images or videos I can send you raw files that have not been shrunk and contain no watermarks, if you feel I am in the top 3 of your BDOTY Contest that is :D

This week I just flushed the plant. I think I could have feed nutes the first day of this week, but I decided to flush from the first day, something to improve next time. I think I should have given the last flush one day before harvest instead of 2 days after, I felt that the coco was a bit too dry and the steam was not as moist as the previous harvest, this would have been great if I was doing 14 days dry, but I'm doing a 30 day dry, so this extra moisture would be great.
The last 4 days the lights were turned off, as a consequence, the humidity went up the last 4 days, around 56-58%, I don't think I will do this next time.
The total flower period was 72 days, according to Barney's farm it would take 60-65 days, I feel that those values are very accurate, my personal circumstances made me take a bit longer, but I barely saw any amber trichomes at harvest day.
