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:

That's it !
Plant #1 :45.52 G
Plant #2 : 32.68 G
Plant #3 : 43.12 G
Sample before harvest : 4.16 G
Total 125,48 G
I'm happy with the quantity, i know it's not a lot for 250W, but with my setup, and my knowledge, i'm pretty happy with that, i am especially happy cause of the quality, it's dope !
the plant #2 gave me a bad yield. Buds was a but aery, not compact like the 2 others. I don't think it's a genetic problem, i've made mistake on her, and she was the one with the less light, a bit late since the beginning, etc etc.. but she is good ! she is like the #3 but not compact.
For the cut i removed big leaves and big sugar leaves, and head down. It was ready to cure after 8 days, i'd like it to be slower but they are already wonderfull after almost 1 week into curing, so it's great 😎
I'm pretty lucky to have 2 realy differents phenotypes, this is so good !
Pheno #1 is realy like a concentrate of lemon, and realy sweet, sugary. She is strong ! Like a 50% High / Stone, totaly stunted.
Pheno #2 smells like strawberry, like a strawberry yogurt. She taste more like sugary / fruits and earthy. She is my favorite, best looking, best smoking, best smell, best everything !
This is a plant to try, for sure !
Thanks to anyone who helped me !
Gonna enjoy now 😎0000

What a difference a week makes! #1 is just adding on the weight this week while #2 continued to stretch to what might be a record for this auto at 40” and is now exploding with pistils. #3 is yet another type of pheno and a short bush that I have continually taken leaves from trying to figure out what is what. I expect #3 to start her stretch this week given the fact that she’s almost two weeks behind the others while I was trying to find a bean that would pop. Staggering on the trim doesn’t really bother me because they are all getting the same 19 hours of light indefinitely. We are getting into some heat up north and I imagine the room will climb into the high 80’s but there’s not very much I can do about that except giving them air circulation. Stardawg really is the star of the show and might end up being my consistent go to if they keep going like this.

Man any strain I grow from @fastbuds has the best all around terps of any auto flowering plant I have grown yet .
They have strong genetics and a great customer service as well I've never been let down . To be honest when I popped this seed I knew she was special it cracked and got moving do quick that it was evident she wanted to grow . She was put into a 3 gallon fabric pot with living soil . I used NextGen soil out of Sudbury and the stuff is amazing. This whole grow was organic and the plant was at one point near death . I had over watered and let her go to the point that I wasn't sure she would make it . But she did and outperformed my expectations completely . The buds are long and dense with lots of trichomes . The way I fixed my issue was way less water and a couple top feeds of an organic flowering mix .
The strength in this plant to turn around and come back strong like that was super impressive like no slow in growth and no hermies or lack of bud Growth .
The newest strains that keep coming out are fire and I'm very happy to be able to try these at all . The next round of autos I do will again be of the fastbuds company . This plant in the end is around days 85 from seed and had it been trained better and more wattage could have been a super monster plant .. cheers and happy growing ..keep their plant going it's medical for so many people.
Update smoke report - the plant cured nicely and the buds are hard with decent trichomes ! Not the sticky buds I expected but she was dried a little to long and so it's to be expected 🤣.. but in all honesty it's a great plant for bubble hash and I'm putting it into the hash bag mix for washing can't wait .. again cheers to fastbuds for letting me try their new strains cheers

Experiencing what seems to be my first nutrient lock out. Bought a soil ph tester from homdepo its reading 7.0 so that what bring me to that conclusion on top of the slower growing and the slight yellowing around the leaves. I was being cheap and using the liquid ph tester that comes with the ph up and down and im regretting now seeing my plants in not the best condition. Im ordering a better ph pen today i used the vivosun one the i currently have got the water to 5.8 checked the run off and its at 6.2 hopefully that helps. Saturday im going to top dress and water at 5.8 aging and im thinking that should put me back on track
Any advice i could definitely use some tips and pointers or advice

This week’s the last week of veg, flipping her today 😊. I stripped off most of the unnecessary fan leaves and did some LST to even out the canopy. Can’t wait to see that stretch kick in! :))

Awesome strain, fruity and citric smell with very hard and sticky buds, we see trichomes all over the plant and leaves!
This strain is close to one of my favorites so far.
This week we continue with water and in some days we will harvest!

Hello. This is the end of week 6 and the beginning of week 7 of flowering.
Things are growing great in here. Not too many yellowing leaves for 6 weeks of flowering so far.
I got some pollenating done with 2 different Kosher Haze males. The males were a little taller than I was hoping for but both had a great smell and were very resinous to the touch. All the Kosher Haze males have been cut down and have been put in the compost. You can see the difference in the pollenated buds by the brown stigmas. In the wide angle shots you can see the white tags marking the lines holding the pollenated buds up. At harvest time I can let these marked branches grow a little longer if the seeds aren't mature yet. We shall see then.
I still have 1 Lemnesia male left that I like and It will be put in the smaller greenhouse with a Pink Kush and a Nova OG to make seeds in a week or 2. The Pink Kush and the Nova OG are in their 3 week of flowering in the greenhouse now.
Ok can't think of anything else.
Have Fun. Chuck.

Well, my organic vegetables garden, in anticipation of growing weed has been at rest for twenty months. I started to amends with green manure from legumes and lawn mowing (expecially the last month, for ready availability of N). I've mixed 1 gallon of Vigo Plant Full (perlite, guano, peats) to improve drainage. All the roses around, the apple tree and the hedges were treated with deltamethrin so as to preventively reduce the population of aphids, whiteflies & red spiders.
My vegetables & weed eventually will receive only spraying of nettle macerated.
Now in the evening I will have to pay close attention to broadnose weevils and later to bedbugs. It will be a tough fight against the wind and heat. A whole week of full sun awaits them.
Royal Gorilla has spent the previous week outdoors night and day in her pot savoring the discrete temperature changes in my area.
She is a runner, born 9 days after the sisters and is already making up for lost time. 💪
