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:

What a great strain...definitely surprised me positively. Thank you Exotic Seeds for the opportunity to work with you trying this awsome plant.
It has a steady growth, kinda short and bushy like a lot of plants with strong indica traits
Very dense buds, big ones, fat and resinous. With a LOT of productions all-over the plant. So much thricome production it sparkles white.
Cutes it yesterday (17/12/2023) altough on my opinion it could have 1 more week.
Altough because of the huge problem I had to do it. This grow tent (specially the other plant growing side by side) had a mold issue, bud rot spreading fast. I must have lost about 5
65 grams of wet flower total on the Fat Banana.
When I cuted it 🍓 Strawberry Cola weighted 829 grams it has a lot of defoliation done alredy but I'll trim it 100% when dry.
This is it, thank you all of you growmies for watching this grow. See u guys on the next one.

Everything is still going good for this week just giving 6.2 PH Tap water with a bubbler for 24 hours before I fill my Reservoir.
July 2 when my lights came back on at 5pm I decided to Defoliate these two girls and add a ScrOG net for some extra support and some tucking for the leaves.
July 6th last day of week 8
I took the other two plants in the back out of the tent today so I can flip these to 12 on 12 off.

Day 36 - In the picture, I demonstrated the efforts I put in for leaf tucking, the back half, so that light can get deeper in the canopy. A had also removed all of the flowering cover crop to prevent it from going to seed. It served its purpose and now serves as compost for my outdoor garden.
Day 37 - This plant does not slow down! It is maxed out, for my preference, horizontally. Stretch is slowing down. Bud growth will now be the focus.
Day 38 - She really needed a haircut, so she got one. Everytime I do this, I honestly scare myself. I know the potential these plants have, but a mistake that would cause additional stress to the defol can change everything.. cover crop is also cut down and breaking down in my outdoor garden. One last spray down before buds appear and a good feeding to push her through this heavy strip. Love to see worms hanging out on the surface of the soil, breaking down all my top dresses.
Day 39 - She's praying to the skies! This plant isn't skipping a beat with vigorous growth! You can see how all those lower sites are now getting adequate lighting!
Day 40 - Realized I had stopped adding picture to demonstrate her height. She's a great height! Honestly taller than I had imagined! Nodal spacing is super tight at the top. She's going to have some huge nugs! Really debating on getting another natural co2 generator to get higher levels during peek flower. Loving this plant!!

The grow room is starting to smell really good. The girls are looking great and they are swelling and adding new hairs still. Two weeks at least and then we will see what the trichomes look like. Hoping they fade a little and seeing some slight yellowing of tips on fan and sugar leaves. I think P and K were a little high last two weeks, so straight water till the end now.

Plants are flowering and their height stays stable.
I noticed that their leaves are really dark and smaller compared to other strains that I cultivated.
2x Night Queen Automatic : 41cm and 47cm (same as last week)

New week starts.

Today is the first day after a transplantation. My girls looks fine and I think they wouldn't need any nutrients
for some time, because there is new soil in the pots. I do not want to overfeed them. They were watered with a clean water yesterday and the next time I'll give them minimum nutrients concentration (0.2ml/l of all three 'flora's).
But today they've got nothing except clean water spraying.
🌞13.04
'G.O.SeaWeed' spraying today and nothing more.
It looks like all went good after the transplantation, so I ordered a SCROG net. One or two weeks more and I will change a light schedule to 12/12 and turn one more 100w lamp.
🌞14.04
Clean water spraying.
Upd: I made defoliation on evening. Cutted most of green mass - old leaves and lowest brunches. That was made because the SCROG net will come to me on monday and I'll tighten all four plants on their places. I want to avoid strong stress (making defoliation and LST together, putting in some new soil).
Now my girls will rest till monday morning.
🌞15.04
Today I spotted a few yellow tips on the upper leaves of my plants. It means it's time for nutrients already. I gave them 80% dose of 'GHE Tripart + Fulvic acid' solution. Only 7.5 liters per four pots, so there was no drainage. I'll water them with more volume of a clean water next time to outwash saults surplus.
I've spraiyed them with a clean water as usual.
🌞16.04
'GHE SeaWeed' spraying.
I'm waiting for tomorrow morning to make light defoliation of 'RG'#1 and to install the SCROG netting. It should come to me tomorrow.
🌞17.04
I installed SCROG, made LST and huge final defoliation. I filled pots with soil+perlite+'RQS Mycorrhiza'. Watered my flowers with 60% concentration of 'GHE TriPart'+'GHE Diamond Nectar' nutrients. Spraiyed them with 'GHE Sea Weed' 2ml/l.
🌞18.04
Healing.

Commencing Week 14 - 6th week of flowering - Day 92 from germination - Day 42 of 12/12 on January 23rd
D.98/48 wooooooooooooooooh this Garden is super stinky right now in a good way 👃💪👍👌👏😁
The colors are changing up beautifully signaling the end of life and the beginning of a whole new level of appreciation for these beautiful flowers 💚 - 💛🧡💜❤️
I'm currently under the impression that hydroponics can speed up production, (in my experience with organic growing growth is a little slower and as well as the ripening / muturation rate) so I'm may even be able to harvest a majority of this a few days early. There is also a few tricks I might employ in order to speed this process up. It's fine by me either way I can wait so we'll see 😁
So far this has been my first successful indoor DWC grow in quite some time and I am very patiently yet very anxiously awaiting the time when I can enjoy the fruits of my labor.
at this point as long as I don't mess anything up it should be smooth sailing right up to the very end which is now what I am looking forward to the most coming up: the harvest and smoke report
To all the breeders so I put in the hard work for for me and allowed me to grow their strains thank you!
To all the fellow growers and enthusiast who have been paying attention and chiming in from time to time I especially appreciate you and thank you for your patience in dealing with my late updates. I promise my smoke report will be incredibly thorough and make up for your patience throughout the recording of this journal.
As usual if anyone has any questions about any specific techniques I use or why or nutrient lines or strain related to this grow information please feel free to ask, comment, etc

Week 11 over for Mama Tropicana 🍇🍋🍓
She smells delicious and has taken on her purple shade 🍬
I checked on the trichomes and we are getting very close to harvest day.
I’m stopping the feed and we switching to Flawless Finish to help flush the salts still present in the soil
Will let her go for a few more days then 🔪✂️
Happy growing Gang 💪🏾💚

Scrooge has grown bushy since the start of flowering. So, I gave it a trim and some care. Now, let's wait for it to bounce back, and I probably won't mess with it much more. 🌿🛠️

Day 101
Sorry for the entire week missing but i was facing a lot of troubles.. starting from the heat stress that made foxtailing one apical and burned a lot of tips ( a heat wave arrived last week and the temps in the box peaked at 31°C, i had to start using the ac ), going trough a lot of lower branches removal because was really too filled down there, ending in a savage calcium deficency that hitted both of them causing more leaves damages (now i'm adding silica and calcium/magnesium in the "only ro" watering days). Sorry for the shaky video.

Poor babies! They've definitely had a rough start. I'm fairly certain now the issue has been too much moisture in the soil. I believe there are a few factors that have had an impact:
1) Obviously, giving them too much water. In the first week I gave 90ml into their 1 litre pots over two waterings. I thought this was okay because the top soil was completely dry between waterings. Someone suggested that seedlings don't need additional water for the first 10 days so I'll try that next time
2) Feedback I've had is that my soil mix is quite heavy @ 63% soil, 25% Coco, 6 % perlite + 6% vermiculite. In future I'll increase the perlite portion to about 40%
3) Also, I just noticed that the plastic pots I'm using have very small drainage holes. I think this has caused moisture to accumulate at the bottom of the pot. Yesterday I pushed my finger all the way to the bottom of the pot and it is much wetter at the bottom than at the top.
So yeah, tough start. But they're still growing, albeit very slowly. I trust they'll survive.
