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: 1. Anesia Seeds - Epic Buzz (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/189991-anesia-seeds-epic-buzz-grow-journal-by-salokin) 2.

On the 6th and 7th of March we transplanted plants from small pots to the big ones. As a base we used wet coconaut with perlit (70/30). Unfortunatelty, during the transplation we lost one 'Mexican Airline' plant— La Mujer (yes, we gave her a name). Now we have only two Lemon AK left in this diary. Their names are Josya (diminutive from Joseph) and Moishe as we «circumcised» them accidentally when transplantated to pots week earlier😵 Now they feel themselves great .

No problems. 👋Good I like her style. In maybe 1-2 weeks she becomes another place in my tent. If its free. Yes a big big tent.... 0,36 m². OK not so big, but hey, its still illegal in my land. And with such a small tent l=small yield im not in the heavy criminal scene. But sry law. Since the first time I smelled weed, not smoked, I knew. THIS IS IT! 24.09. 😛 💪 Nice girl.

Everything was gonna be fine, But I got too aggressive right out the gate and snapped another main stem. It will heal, the plant will be stunted but its a hard lesson to learn, i think i need to get flex on the main stem right out the gate! Otherwise I bravely chopped several water leaves and feel like I had a great LST situation! If I hadn't fopahed right at the start I'd say things went perfect! Looking forward to the bounce back! ______________________________________________ They perked right back up. Even the snapped limb plant seems to be no worse for it. So I did another round of LST. Definitly snapped ANOTHER plant! although not as bad. Otherwise I gave them a nice little defoliation and I believe I have created a nice spread out base. We'll see how they do in the stretch! I must say they are showing alot of promise too! I'm very excited to see these babies in flower!

Takže holkám se daří ,proběhla lehká defoliace + fim “snad se povedlo” jinak dvě holky Cherrytini po přesazení se jim něco nelíbilo tak trošku listy zrezivěli , ale zdá se že už se srovnali a pokračuji ve zdravém směru. Upřímně jsem na tyhle devčice zvědavý , snad to vše proběhne podle mého plánu v pořádku ✅.

Week 4 Flower Report: The Spectacular Symphony of Blackberry Auto Greetings, fellow cultivators! As we reach the zenith of Week 4 in the flowering stage, my Blackberry Auto continues to astonish with her rapid progress and breathtaking beauty. Let's explore the vivid transformation and celebrate the splendor of this exceptional strain. Accelerated Growth and Blossoming Marvel: Week 4 has been nothing short of miraculous. Blackberry Auto's rapid growth shows no signs of slowing, with buds swelling and trichomes sparkling like morning dew. This is a true testament to her robust genetics and the nurturing environment provided. Ceasing Feedings for Natural Brilliance: Observing her accelerated progress, I've decided to halt all feedings, allowing Blackberry Auto to naturally showcase her intrinsic beauty. This decision underscores my trust in her resilience and the rich soil that continues to support her spectacular development. A Kaleidoscope of Colors: One of the most captivating aspects of Week 4 is the stunning array of colors. Blackberry Auto's buds and leaves are a visual masterpiece, transitioning through shades of deep purple, vibrant magenta, and even hints of dark blue. Each hue tells a story of her lineage and the care she has received. Tender Care and Natural Expression: Despite halting feedings, the tender care and gentle guidance continue. Low-stress training methods are still employed to ensure optimal light exposure and even bud distribution. This natural approach fosters a sense of harmony and balance, allowing Blackberry Auto to express her full potential. Anticipation and Deep Gratitude: As we witness the dazzling display of colors and the rapid progression of bud formation, anticipation for the harvest reaches new heights. I extend my deepest gratitude to @fastbuds_official for creating this botanical masterpiece. To Aptus Holland, my main sponsor, your unwavering support has been instrumental in this journey. Special thanks to Grow Diaries for providing a platform to document and share this incredible experience, and to the community for your shared passion and support. As we conclude the fourth week of flowering, I invite you to join me in celebrating the breathtaking transformation of Blackberry Auto. This journey is a testament to the wonders of cultivation and the magic of nature. Let's continue to revel in the beauty and promise of this extraordinary plant. Genetics Blackberry Auto @Fast_Buds Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life

I know that it may seem like a lot of nutrients at first. It’s not. A lot of those mycorrhizae ingredients are mixed into my soil well before the germinated seed goes into the pot. I make my own mix of soil using some of those ingredients. I like to use the great white mykos because of its powders consistency. Makes it easy for a clean transport from germinated bean to its forever home. For watering, they have been given only plain RO water with a neutral ph. Just yesterday I gave them a little tiny mix of Medusa’s magic, Zeus juice, and Gaia mania. I have used Oregon’s only brand products for a while now and I absolutely love them and better yet, I understand them. They have responded super well already to their first drink of bottled nutes with a ph of 6.3 . I’m keeping a RH between 50 and 60%. I’m also keeping a temp during the day at around 78-81°f. Right now I’m not worried about a night time temp but I do run cooler lights for about 4 hrs every day, dropping to around 70-75°f. Eventually I will add my second light boosting me from 600w too 1200w. Also they will begin a 20-4 hr light cycle. I find these autos do amazing with a little rest for 4 hrs. Allows me to pull more resin and color in later stages of life by dropping the temp lower than usual with the lights off. So please if you will, stay tuned and I’ll have much more info and much better videos and pictures for you to all enjoy. Thanks for looking! ✌️🏻

Tag 31 wird der letzte Tag der Wachstumsphase. Danach beginnt die Blütephase mit einem relativ einheitlichen „Dach“ aus Trieben. Nur durch das Scrog Netz wäre es nicht möglich gewesen. Die frühen Seitentriebe wurden durch Drähte in die Breite gezogen.

trying something new, LIMETTA MARMALADE by JOLLY POND FARM (Cotton Candy Kush / Mimosa) x (Koffee Cake / SkyCuddle Kush F3) Bred by @landrace_bureau Hunted/Selected/S1 by Jolly Pond Farm @jollypondfarm jollypondfarmacy.com Sativa Flowering Time: 68-73 Days under 20w seedling light , on heating mat @ 78F picked the wrong damn tent on the grow log settings lol, its a coolgrows 4x4 12/31/24 two pops so far, moving into dwc buckets under around ,3 EC water just under net pots 12 DLI for now, FD6000 is set to 5 on my AC infinity as far as my take on the phenos: #1 popped vigorously and has leaflets grown since, #2 is a bit slower, popped two days later #3 was planted later, but popped quickly 1/5/25 slight rooting through on #1, probably my last top water , it looked a little thirsty, maybe 1 more tomorrow #2 and #3 will continue receiving top watering everyday until i observe the same keeping VPD at around .9 ,,, however i do need a new IR therm. 1/7/25 some slight purpling on #1 & #2 and i am sure this is because of having a bad pH pen before. everything is properly calibrated and pHed with my AC INFINITY pH pen 1/13/25 well, they continued to purple a little bit, gonna chalk it down to low temps in the tent, was using my heater in my other tent but i have reconnected it as i moved the plant i was rehabing into the 4x4 since i set it to veg DLI (30 right now.)
