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:

Last week went well. She is beefing up nicely. Very happy I have a clone from this beauty! Seems to be a good producer judging by the size and structure of the plant/buds. Also is a good producer of resin, but I expect that from a plant with its parentage! Only thing besides a nice potent indica buzz that I would like but is purely cosmetic...I want it to have some purple coloring of some kind. But will be happy with potent! Going to be some good strains coming in the near future. This girl is smooth sailing for the most part from here on out. Doubt I will have to remove many more leaves and she is done stretching so no more adjusting ties. Until next time happy growing to everyone!

Nice she has really liked the transplant and has exploded with healthy new growth. Very healthy looking indeed. I have seen noticable results from the folair feeding. darker thicker richer looking leaves! Excited to see the difference in flowers from this grow compared to the outdoor lady i grew this summer. hoping for 70+ grams from her!! Trying this new product out this week that i was given at the grow store. optic folair, has great reviews so well see the difference between this and folair feeding with vivokelp!

Hi there! Thank you for checking out my Gorilla Glue Auto grow. The grow well other than around week 6 where I over did the feedings. She got a little burned but after some flushing I was able to get some of the excess water soluble nutrients out that was burning the plant. After the flushing she came back hard. She got solid and grew some fat buds coated with resin. Definitely a recommendable strain from Auto Seeds.

1/21:
I rotated the edge plants and foliar fed with big bloom a few times today.
1/22:
I fed them about 3/4 gallon each after top-dressing their pots with a heaping tablespoon of happy frog cavern culture( bat and seabird guano). That will make some P and K available to them over the next 2 weeks as they begin to flower. Aside from that, I went with full strength veg nutes because I'm still seeing some yellowing and som cal-mag deficiencies. I also added some more liquid molasses. They're gonna need the energy as they start their stretch. I foliar fed a few times throughout the day with big bloom.
1/23:
EXPLOSIVE GROWTH last night...love it...everybody is stretching...pretty sure the 14/10 photoperiod is working!!
I foliar fed with big bloom a few times today.
1/24:
Definitely sativa. Neither one liked the FIM job..
1/25:
I tied down the mains on both of them and watered with a half-gallon each containing bembe, cal-mag, signal, armor si, and humic acid.
1/26:
Re-tied the mains again,,,strong branches!
1/27:
That's it for week #5!

Week 6 of flowering 10/23/24
Changed nutrients to fit week 6
Buds are getting even bigger and thicker.
Defoliated a little.
Noticed a PH of 4.8 in runoff, same as the late stage of flower in my previous grow.
After lowering feed EC, CalMag on max strength, flushing with 0.8ec nutes for 3 days in a row, nothing changed and PH stayed the same.
Read in a forum thread about constant low PH in the rootzone when growing in coco.
Got great info about CEC, water, nutrients and little chemistry from a detailed explanation. (https://www.icmag.com/threads/recurring-problem-with-low-ph-in-coco.338385/page-2#post-10843765)
Flushed plants with tap water + calmag, PH 6.5.
Used 120L total for 4 plants in 2 days.
1st day: flushed after lights on, did not water until 2 hours before lights off and flushed again.
Runoff PH went up a little, but not to the correct range.
2nd day: flushed after lights on and checked runoff EC + PH, of each plant.
Fortunately, PH got corrected to 5.8, and I returned to automatic watering 4 times a day (with 10%-20% runoff).
Thoughts:
In the last grow, I thought I had a problem because of salts buildup in the media with constantly low PH in late flower.
I didn't fully correct the problem till chop day.
Same problem here in the same stage of flower without the salt buildup.
After reading every forum I could find about the problem, I understood that my bloom nutes were the main problem because of their chemical composition.
The coco ability to exchange ions lead to the low PH in the rootzone.
It got worse quickly because I did not use any tap water with the feedings, so the PH could swing easily and drastically without resistance.
After I looked online for the T.A. feeding chart, I saw they used TriPart Grow till week 7 of flower, the Nitrogen type they are using will up the PH.
CocoForCannabis chart that I'm using, has not enough nitrogen to combat the bloom nutes PH down effect in flower.
It gets even worse with RO water because there are no minerals that can resist PH down.
Now I'm using 30% tap water with rest RO water, T.A. TriPart feeding chart with calmag and silica.
Hopefully I have corrected the problem for the rest of the grow.
It wasn't easy, because there were lots of variables that worsened the problem quickly.
Now I'm checking runoff PH and EC daily.
Update on next week :)

This week was half veg half bloom. I may have to find a new home soon so I've decided to flip all my plants into flowering by the middle of week 07. I'm really glad I took this clone, it is already showing signs of a great yield. All stems are trying to become main colas 😆 This OG Clone is being taller an taller hour after hour. Big flowers incoming!

So here we are at the end of the first week. This one is a few days behind the others so she's the runt of the bunch. For now anyway 😉. We'll see how she does now after getting some Ferments in her soil!
Not much to report on other than what we're feeding and that's the alfalfa Ferment and BAS Craft blend that's was pre mixed into their medium.
We probably won't amend until bloom/late veg unless these girls look hungry but I'm sure they'll be fine.
Thanks for stopping by.

Привет садоводы !
Началась новая неделя
сегодня я заменил питательный раствор на новый и сделал его немного покрепче
все в пределах таблицы кормления
теперь он в значении 700 ppm
а PH также я держу в пределах 5,6
тот цветок ,что в земле после пересадки я пока не поливал
растения выглядят хорошо ,но растут немного медленно
а в общем вроде не плохо

Vamos familia tercera semana de vida de estás Tropical Zmoothie de SeedStockers.
Que ganas tengo de ver el progreso de esta variedad, las plantulas están sanas, se ven con buen color.
La cantidad de agua cada 48h entre riegos.
Esta primera semana ya añadimos nutrientes de la gama Agrobeta.
Tuve problemas de trips en un indoor y tengo todas plagadas pero ya las e tratado con aceite de neem y un insecticida genérico, además añadí varias tiras de color azul, trataré esta semana y la siguiente.
También realicé el trasplante a maceta definitiva, 7 litros.
Estas próximas semanas veremos cómo avanzan.
Mars hydro:
Code discount: EL420

Hey!
I found something moving in the solution, when I was adding some water. I didn't really know what that was, nether know now. But I decided that they most likely not helpful for the plant, so I added some H2O2 to try kill it, it helped, when I was changing the solution next day, they didn't move anymore. I still added around 5 ml the top of the bucket's solution.
It should be a good idea to change the solution after that, I though. I also wanted to wash her roots and sponge from air pump, so I did it 7 times with absolutely clean water and only by the end it wasn't looking terribly dirty. Nice practice to have is rootwashing 😁
Actually, it'd be better if I wouldn't need to do that. But as I did it, I think it helped her.
Anyway I didn't stop cutting her, since I was doing it slow, now I cut off some lower branches that had already or would have in the future light deficit. So, now she looks kind of lollipoped too, I guess.
It's better now, it was a hot week also. Even I'm growing indoor, actually air-condition is quiet far, and I didn't know how to use it properly.
Smell is super strong.

Hello colleagues!
Finally I am standing at the finish line, you are probably familiar with this pleasant feeling - the euphoria of the upcoming harvest. Due to the difference in phenotypes, I have a slight desynchronization in ripening (the pink one is definitely ready), but I decided to harvest on the same day. This is planned for next week, come and see the result.
Thank you for stopping by, and be healthy! 🙏
To be continued... 😶

Tag 49 - Beginn der 8 Woche.
Sie hat sich in der letzten Woche super entwickelt, wahrscheinlich war das Licht einfach bisschen zu nah dran.
Die Blüten entwickeln sich gut und produzieren eine dicke Eisschicht.
Allerdings bekommen die Blätter einen gelblichen Stich, was für mich noch etwas zu früh ist. Entweder könnte sie allgemein etwas mehr Nährstoffe gebrauchen oder es war etwas zu viel Calcium. Ich werde das die nächsten Tage beobachten und wohlmöglich den Dünger anpassen.
Beschnitten oder entlaubt wurde nichts mehr.
Gedüngt wurde an Tag 44 der letzten Woche.
Nährstofflösung:
1 ml/l - Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra Advanced Nutrients.
1 ml/l - Big Bud Advanced Nutrients
1 ml/l - Bud Candy Advanced Nutrients.
1 ml/l - B-52 Advanced Nutrients.
2 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part A.
2 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part B.
