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:

End of week 6 for this lady. Great week for Orange Sherbet FF she is bouncing back really good from the issues she had in earlier weeks. She still developing slow. The leaves looks really good and healthy. I did a good defoliation to the botton so she can receive more light. For week 7 she only is going to receive water and cal-mag so she can continue with the recovering.

It was my first grow and I really screwed it up a lot, but it resisted all my beginner mistakes, pests, stress, being without irrigation, irrigation without measuring PH, revegetation, etc.
I love her, really, in love with this strain.
It is a genetics with a very relaxing effect, recommended for those who cannot sleep at night.

Hi guys!!!
we're doing pretty well now the buds swell day by day ...
i am giving fertilizer once a week
specifically this week in 1 L of water I put:
co2 ¼ of tablet
enzymes 1.5 ml
candy 3 ml
top bud 1 ml
i am keeping a ph of 6.3 / 6.5
are you curious to try the LEDs but you don't have enough information?
I found the ideal solution with this VIPARSPECTRA XS2000 lamp.
this well-known brand offers different solutions look at the official website https://viparspectra.eu/

Room is still yellowing quite a bit prematurely. I’m going to feed once more and adjust ph back to 6-7. I’m starting to cut my RO water with filtered tap water at 1:5 ratio, to stabilize the ph a little more and to see if the tap water can help with deficiencies I’ve been seeing. I have heard that it’s not good to add calmag in mid flower and I really don’t want to mess with heavy metals that could affect the way the plant smokes.
The powdery mildew has come back. It is only affecting the cheese, slurricane and black garlic #2. All three of these plants are in the same corner so it must be something I’m doing environmentally. That’s the coldest part of the tent so maybe the added fans are letting it get too cold. The small fan I added is probably unnecessary and I might move it to my veg tent. If the powdery mildew keeps getting worse, I’m just going to let it ride out and then wash the final product.
I should have trained and topped these in veg a lot better but I got lazy and didn’t want to.

Day 96, 15th of December 2020:
Wao and wao... this is what I can say.
A bit late I was on holiday I usually start the week with the first day but now with the last one.
So let's start with the "black sheep" of this group as she is alone here RQS Wedding Gelato.
Easy growing issue free little bushy lady. Absolutely great choice of grow. Pretty much ready for Christmas but she can be cut even now lol....
And now let's speak about the Original Sensible Seeds' girls...
Well Black Ghost OG similarly to RQS Wedding Gelato is calm little bushy and issue free lady.... no problem all good ready for Christmas....
Runtz Gum the thick chick with heavy big buds and excellent appearance is really amazing. I placed a stick there and fixed her to look better... It was not necessarily but i have done it.
She needs more time pretty much done ny Christmas or a bit after....
Gelato from Original Sensible Seeds is similar in terms of acting such as streching and all that ...
The same situation applies not much to really say we wait ;)
I am really happy to have these ladies....
Well, Do-Si-Dos OG is the craziest one ever... lol.... not only due her crazy kind of streching style but the trichome developement that comes along to the fan leaf "holder" stem is pretty crazy....
Those buds are like a diamonds sticky and she would be ready to harvest but need to wait because I need to go....
I really had to fix her by placing a stick there I broke one stem but fixed as it did not come off... so crazy especially now because of the weight of the buds... now she looks even more beautiful...
I think she is the most challenging grow ever.
Original Sensible Seeds genetics is unique really high quality just look at them.
Royal Queen Seeds as well but this is my second grow from them my first was a Green Gelato which is the same calm littlw bushy plant. Amazing very good for newbies ;)
I am going on holiday again and back on 28th of December so after harvest starts.
Girls will be cut after.
The 7th weeks starts with tomorrow 16th of December....
Only flushing and no more nutritient will be used.
Soon full report comes. Lamp is the same 11 hours on and 13 off....
The last 4 days they will get 4 days darkness and only ventilation will be working no even more water ;)

We started preflower this week. She filled out since the last defoliation and is looking really healthy. There is a bit of damage on a few of the leaves, but it's from where I was a little rough with the tiedowns around the growth tips. She has some damn tight spacing, making it hard to get the wires in there. She has a nice aroma. I wouldn't say it smells like cheese exactly, but has a pleasant sour note to it.
I am going to be adding some VMC and ground Malted Barley this week, along with some Ful-Power. Probably another defoliation, too. I will try to take before and after pics.
Update: When I added the VMC and Barley, I discovered that both pots in my tent were extremely light weight. I had been underwatering big time, slowing growth and causing some deficiencies. Since then things seem to be correcting themselves rapidly.

I defoliated the Plant for the first time and adjusted the LST to the growth of the plant.
I found the first white pistils shooting out from the plant which shows me she is ready to go into flower.
Until now i am very happy with the progress, still no issues :)

JUL 15- so she needs some defoliation and some general maintenance because she is starting to lean over, but im out of town for another week. She had some nutes given to her this week. Also, her trichombes are very frosty this girl puts out alot of zap. The one in front is a Mexican Sativa strain which I set to flower a day after her.
Also have some Habaneros in the Tent they are awesome they love the Nutes

Apricot got got the chop last night! That’s why I’m late on my diaries,I knew she’d be ready! But man,she was an amazing plant to grow. There towards the end she started throwing new pistols but I think that’s just due to going a little too long cause i was wanting amber tricombs. They’re all fully cloudy with slight amber,can’t wait to see how she dries and cures🔥🔥

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos, y también, a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨🌾
Segunda semana desde el paso a floración, la planta ha dado un buen estirón, lozana y vigorosa ya muestra los primeros signos de la preflora... comienza el gran juego!
Dos riegos profundos esta semana, hago mezclas muy variadas de Bio Fertilizantes caseros para que la planta no eche nada de menos, ahora, en la etapa de floración aumento la presencia en riegos, de fósforo, potasio y magnesio principalmente, continúo en cada riego con la inoculación de Microbiología al sustrato, esta semana he añadido mulch de hojas verdes picadas, está funcionando muy bien este tipo de mulch, retiene mucha humedad en superficie y es una comida excelente para los microorganismos, es significativa la proliferación de micelios de microorganismos entre estas hojas en proceso de descomposición.
Llegan momentos sublimes para esta cepa... a jugar!! 🌼🌼🌼
==============
Info de la cepa Jelly Bananen: https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Jelly_Bananen/Exotic_Seed/
- Genética: Strawberry Banana x Hippie OG (Selección OG Kush)
- Madura tras unas 9 semanas de floración.
- Floración Interior: 60-65 días.
- Su efecto es muy fuerte, completamente indico.
==============
Hasta pronto... 2023 happy new year from peace!
SALUDOS A TODOS!!
