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:

6. Ganja Farmer Seeds - Bruce Banner x White Russian (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/190091-ganja-farmer-seeds-bruce-banner-x-white-russian-grow-journal-by-salokin)

All looks well. She's drinking now just over 8L:
Current feed schedule
5L/Lights On!
3L/Lights Off!
It's apparent the 65L Pot is allowing her roots to stretch and feed more!
It can be risky transplanting during early flower; 😬 looking back of my diaries, I mess this up.
Looks like the fence steal bracket diy worked for multipurpose lol
Will look for a better alternative later on!

Both Freaky Pablos 🤪 turned out to be males!
I was going to mate them with bubblegum gpp. I think I'm best of making a full growing season for making seeds but like this. I've saved some of its ball sacs!
"Blue Geleto 41 - Barney's Farm is ready for the switch 👌 in the indica tent!
The Future is now drinking a little over 8L/24h in the 60L.
She has taken the introduction of hollands feed well!

The Future is edging ever so slightly to close to the light! I may have to supercrop them. Leaves huge bigger than my hands ✋️ 🙌 😌 I have M/L, the leaves are like L/XL uk metrics
"Blue Geleto 41 indica seems to be enjoying her room alone and can strectch out!
Currently under a budmaster god 6 & 4 averaging about 550watts with 30dli under canopy! No uv leds installed on these budmasters for they are mostly used for vegging. Hopefully I should be able to use the spectrum king for her last 3 weeks of flower. I have two but I need to get a series 600 meanwell driver for it. The crop master needs some new leds soldered on for its lost a lot of its optics and efficacy.
Meanwhile; I'm well footed in one of the pic lol head over heels 👠 😜 jokes 😃

week intel:
its time to harvest top buds!
because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days
stresses :
flushing
Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week
feeding:
day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph
day 3 : no more feeding from now on
day 5 : no more feeding from now on
guide of the week :
i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave.
its crucial to get uniformed buds in terms of quality that you let the lower buds to get some extra air and especially light! then the pop corn buds quality will reach the top buds.
my dry and cure style is this:
3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month.
im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

18.08.21 Moin liebe growmies habe diese woche (14.08.21)mit der Umstellung auf 12/12 begonnen und gestern nochmal Nach justiert um die Höhe gleichmäßig zu halten und dabei ist mir eine unfreiwillige Stamm-Spaltung passiert aufgefallen ist mir das ganze erst heut morgen die Blätter hängen nicht und sie wächst unaufhaltsam weiter 👌👌👌👌 was für ein Glück für mich als ich es heute morgen entdeckt habe hätte ich weinen können habe darauf hin die Pflanze begutachtet und mir ist aufgefallen das sie sich nicht daran stört das ganze habe ich jetzt mit Pflanzen Draht stabilisiert und leicht wieder zurück gedrückt, bekomme die wunde aber nicht dicht. da sie schon ab getrocknet war zu dem Zeitpunkt. werde heut abend mal ein Bild machen ohne das die Lampe an ist sie zeigt nämlich schon die ersten Anzeichen von vorblüte und das nach 4 Tagen 12/12 bin begeistert. Die steckies die ich raus gestellt habe wachsen prächtig und wirken insgesamt gesund
bin mehr als zufrieden bis jetzt bis auf den kleinen Schock heut morgen.......
19.08.21 habe gestern ewig drüber nach gedacht wie ich das besser fixieren kann und die Stamm-Spaltung besser geschlossen bekomme habe mir was neues überlegt und gleich in die Tat umgesetzt habe breites nylon Band genommen und um die 2 arme jeder Seite gebunden und das ganze Dann gegenüber liegend mit einem Kabelbinder zusammen gebunden und die Spalt stelle so gut es ging wieder geschlossen dabei ist mir dann heute aufgefallen das og purps Nr. 3(gestern Abend noch komplett unversehrt gewesen) heute morgen ebenfalls eine Stamm-Spaltung erlitten hat😭😭😭😵😵😵 also das gleiche mit der Kombination aus breitem nylon Seil und Kabelbinder zur Fixierung jetzt muss ich mir wieder was für die hohe einfallen lassen da die Ladys jetzt wieder höher stehen als die anderen ca 3 bis 4cm 😩😩😩werde dann wohl um das Problem zu lösen mit nylon band an den Zelt Stangen entlang gehen und dann die Äste daran nach aussen ziehen denke mal das ich dann wieder auf Höhe kommen werde (hoffe ich zumindest)........

Dos Si Dos 33# 1# Day 101#
Dos si Dos 33# 2# Day 101#
The plants are progressing well, most of them went into preflower a few days ago, the others are slowly entering... I was too lazy to photograph and record each plant separately, so I took a picture and recorded everything together... this grass has grown too much, in some places it is half way up the plant and you can't see how big the plants actually are, these days I will mow it under them and around them and in the next update I will post individual pictures where everything will look nice...day before yesterday I watered them with clean water, the next watering also with clean water and then I will most likely switch to food for the flower, I will see from the situation.
Three days ago it was the end of their fourteenth week, the pictures and videos are from day before yesterday.
Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

On day 10, I transferred the buds to the HerbDryer since I needed to free up space in the drying cabinet for two other plants. When I made the switch, I did a light trim, and I finished the final trim when I placed them in jars for curing.
As for the smell, it’s definitely strong and noticeable. You can clearly pick up berry and herbal aromas. After curing, the smoke quality and smell will improved .
In terms of yield, it was a bit below expectations—only 36g dry. The top buds have good density, but the lower buds are quite airy and loose. That being said, I wasn’t expecting a big yield anyway, especially since it only had 12 hours of light during flowering.
For now, that's it! I'll add more updates later. Meanwhile, I’ve started a new journey—this time with Runtz Auto from Zamnesia for the contest in partnership with Plagron.
You can follow my progress in my Diarys Eternity CUP by Zamnesia & Plagron.

Thanks for the support!💚
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Smoke test:
You can definitely smell and taste the berries—not super intense, but you can catch the notes mixed with floral and sweet flavors.
When you open the bag, the aroma spreads quickly, and it's easy to tell that you've been handling it. After smoking, your room will smell great, but not overwhelmingly so—it fades after a little while, hahaha!
Overall, I’m satisfied for now… Now it’s just a matter of waiting for a better cure to enjoy it at its fullest! 🔥🌿

flowers really packing on weight this week. I've had to tie up supports and stripped off quite a few of the older fan leaves. I've started the flush this week to go with the strain timings. any flush advice would be appreciated.

Bugs 😡 Not many but still tackling them I can see very minute traces every now and then, going to spray at night time lightly with canna cure… Black pistils?? (Hopefully just the phenotypes) One plant has orange too!
Other wise than that I feel everything is going great. Just worried about Hermies because of last time 😥Keep checking the calyx for any balls but they seem fine. Just some weirdos growth they aren’t all stacked yet
Did my best to take better pictures
Update
________________________________________
Yep… Hermie😞 There is a lot of factors that could’ve caused this, my last grow was also a hermie although from the outside it was 🔥 Smoked well and clean just full of seeds😒
Battling little f**king Gnats hasn’t helped me at all I don’t think. I’ve wasted a lot of time and money into this run 😩 Oh well. I will try again but I think I’ll wait a while I feel cursed.
I had to knock a room down in my house and a lot of dust was exposed to some of my equipment and possibly the young plants… I had no space in my house so they ended up being root bound as seedlings too I’m sure that wouldn’t of helped. Gutted to say the least. Thanks for your help guys

Buds were delicious and very heavy high! Definitely night time gear. Beautiful aroma and tastes of fruit loops.
Pretty sure I topped this plant. Won't be doing that again as I've had better success with light lst.
Very happy with the quality of cannabis produced from this plant!
