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:

Ever since I turned to mars hydro I have double sometimes nearly quadrupled my yields I first had with eBay lights (meh) I have never looked back since and gained so much respect from the community and the breeders too! And to hold the sponsors I do shows me that I am doing something right and I show appreciation to all who support! And that’s why I take a different effort to be fair and document you all! Even though I’m aware your businesses I just can’t be bias when it comes to the greatest I think you all are! Thank you for choosing me! (No I’m not the only one) just showing the love back as best as I can! 💚💚💚💚💚 thank you

Beginning of week..
As you can see.. The leaves tend to kinda curl.. Its weird.. She'll will be dry asf.. Like the whole cup is lighter than air.. Then as soon as I water, the leaves curl like this.. Is this rootbound? Lol.. Idk.. Maybe.. I can tell by the drainage that the roots are pretty massive in there.. Last time I grew this strain, the roots were fucking massive.. Lets see how this goes! The leaves will end up straightening out today.. But I dont like stressin my ladies! Pistils have been poppin out for at least a week now.. I think she's gonna flower very soon!
Next day..
So here is a clone of her.. Just to see what happens.. I may use it to make some feminized pollen with it.. And hopefully inbreed it, as long as everything is timed out right it should be pretty simple. Anyways.. Gave the mama a little haircut.. Removed the fan leaves.. Her canopy is already so perfect.. When one branch is shorter than the others I bend her down and keep her on the side where the light is a bit weaker. She ends up stretching while the longer branches are under the heavier light and they dont stretch much so it gives the shorter branches motivation to stretch lol.. Gotta finesse her lol she loves it! She hasnt been showing any of those "drooping" stress signs anymore.. Before of after watering.. I had another strain do the same before but was perfectly fine afterward.. Just a fluke for a day or some shit idk lol.... Aaand back to the clone.. You can see how the branches werent coming out the same as the others.. The symmetry was off.. That's why I chopped it off.. Wish I woulda just cloned the whole top now.. Lol.. Oh well.. Im sure itll do SoMeThInG lol
Mid week..
Went ahead and removed a couple more leaves.. Now it just tops.. Nothing else.. Next week will FOR SURE be week 1 of flower.. She is spittin out pistils like crazy. There is one node on one branch that is missing a leaf.. It has 2 stiples and 2 calyxes.. But no leaf lol.. Crazy.. Other than that.. Shes trucking along.. My last WW Auto took a similar beating.. This girl should be fine after this awful haircut lol.. I just want her to have nothing but tops..
End of week..
She seems happy and healthy.. Only thing I can see is a little nute burn on the leaf tips.. I haven't done much to try and avoid it.. I should probably back off on something.. Next week I will have a better idea! Next week is week 1 of flower.. Haven't noticed much stretching.. If any at all.. But again.. She seems happy and healthy!!! ... On to the next...

Getting ready to shop her down.
My apologies, but taking good photos is not an easy task without pro lighting equipment.. The trichomes and the flashlight are not exactly best buds, lol
Hope you're enjoying it thus far though. Cheers

End of week #6, and I’m extremely happy with the results so far, especially considering the conditions inside the tent — it’s quite small with limited airflow. The plants are in full bloom and still bulking up nicely. A strong aroma is starting to fill the space (my roommates are already complaining about the smell!). I’ve been following the BioBizz feeding schedule to the letter, carefully keeping the pH between 6.3 and 6.5, and watering every other day without skipping nutrients. As shown in previous weeks, my RHC #2 has become the tallest plant, and it’s clearly the one that will produce the biggest and fattest colas. RHC #1, on the other hand, is denser but its colas aren’t as large. Overall, I’m very pleased with the progress and now eagerly waiting for the moment to start the drying process.
I assume that eventually the colas will start turning red, although there’s only about a 60% chance of that happening. RHC #1 is already showing some color on its leaves, which is a good sign. Once it’s fully mature, the colors should become more intense — hopefully shifting into a deep, vibrant red. I’m really looking forward to seeing that transformation take place as the plants reach their final stages.

Day 124 - I change the lights to 12/12... She is flowering, but painfully slowly. I have never put an auto on 12/12 before so I don't know if it will help.
Day 126 - The buds are quite airy I have to say. I don't think she will yield all that much. I am definitely smelling grape though. Fruity. It's nice! I will stick with it, the trichomes are changing to cloudy but the pistils have too many white hairs yet. Also their brown colour is not that dark but I don't think they are getting any darker.

I started germination of 3 Gorilla Girl beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination.
Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their home. Cant wait!
Some background information on my experience with Gorilla Girl. I've only grown this variety out once. Did her in a 1 gallon SOG grow and she was a beast! Fat Chunky main cola just loaded to the tits in trichomes. Amazing bud structre and a definite cut above alot of the genetics flooding the market.
I cant wait to let this variety loose in a larger scale grow. See what these powerhouse genetics really have to offer. Haven't grown out much sweet seeds stuff. But what I did test drive got there genetics into a larger setup. So caps off to them.

Big week this week..
Had to flip the lights, defoliate the full underside of the scrog that took hours ..
Then decided to take some clones mid process ending me with hopefully Some good rooters.
Also changing up my feeding schedule to a higher dose of nutes almost 1500 ppm. That should hopefully lay my coco with a healthy Base off minerals needed for the boosting that’s happening

Finally started to show signs of flowering, I was a little worried and inpatient.
Scrog is filled out nicely, I have stopped tucking the branches and plan on letting the plants have their stretch.
In about a week or so will go in for another defoilitation.
I've started to add to PK boosters to my nutrient mix.
Using general hydroponics , for some reason I can't select their nutrient line.
Cal mag - 2.5ml/gallon
Micro-2.5 ml/gallon
Gro - 1ml /gallon
Bloom - 2.5ml/gallon
Koolbloom - 1ml/gallon
Floralicious plus- 1ml/gallon

She is growing well. Her flowers are getting much fatter and much more dense. Her trichomes are developing nicely.
Still a few weeks away though.

Día 48 (10/06) Riego con 1 Litro H2O + Regulator 0,15 ml/l + CaMg-Boost 0,25 ml/I +TopBooster 0,2 ml/l - pH 6.2
Día 49 (11/06) Riego con 1 Litro H2O + Regulator 0,15 ml/l + P-Boost 0,5 ml/l + K-Boost 0,5 ml/l + CaMg-Boost 0,5 ml/I +TopBooster 0,2 ml/l - pH 6.2
LCCA tiene unos colores espectaculares con tonos morados 😍
Subo el CalMag a 0,5 ml/L porque BPPA no se recupera, y el resto muestran inicio de deficiencia
Día 50 (12/06) Está lloviendo mucho por aquí. Menos mal que tengo el techo de policarbonato en mi invernadero casero. Hoy no necesitan riego
Día 51 (13/06) Riego con 1 Litro H2O + Regulator 0,15 ml/l + K-Boost 0,5 ml/l + CaMg-Boost 0,5 ml/I + TopBooster 0,2 ml/l - pH 6.2
Día 52 (14/06) Riego con 1 Litro H2O + Regulator 0,15 ml/l + CaMg-Boost 0,5 ml/I + TopBooster 0,2 ml/l - pH 6.2
Tiene un aspecto espectacular, con su cogollo central muy muy gordo y con unos reflejos morados preciosos
Me parece increible que esta planta pueda ser capaz de acabar en las 8 semanas (menos de 60 días). Voy a empezar a mirar sus tricomas con el microscopio
Día 53 (15/06) Riego con 1 Litro H2O + Regulator 0,15 ml/l + K-Boost 0,5 ml/l + CaMg-Boost 0,5 ml/I + TopBooster 0,2 ml/l - pH 6.2
En el microscopio se ven las antocianinas subiendo por los tricomas 😍
Día 54 (16/06) Riego con Té de Floración - 750 ml / planta
