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:

Made my own cheap SCROG netting.
The girls are about to do their stretch.
All 3 are flowering. Slowly removing fan leaves and any inner leaves covering floral growth. No more than 3-4 a day per plant. Slow and light.
So far, so good... I think so anyway...
What do I know... I'm a noob...
If someone is still following this diary and sees something that I can improve or any advice at all... I'm all ears.
Happy growing everyone!🌱🌿😎
NOOB GROWER THOUGHTS, WEEK 6 --
I'm getting paranoid with them being Hermie... I've seen too many diaries here go that way, including ones of these same exact genetics. No matter how much effort you put in, it's still really not up to you... Just gotta detach from the outcome while still trying my best -- both in growing and in life.

DAY 53
Had to take out of the room the Amnesia XXL hermaphrodite; cant take the risk of turning the rest into males too.
DAY 54
FUUUCKKK!! The wind dropped a piece of heavy wood onto the plants!!!
1 of the Moby Dick was totally broken. Some branches of the neighbour plants were affected too.
So that's 2 plants lost at the moment (the hermaphrodite and the broken one).
Day 56
Two days after the tragedy. Had to reorganize the room to prevent similar accidents in the future 🖤😢 Saved the most I could but definately this stressing event will influence the plant’s development.
Also, considering taking out the claw leaved plant, which has signs of hermaphroditism (FML again 😫).
Hope these 7 make it till the end.
PS: Also, there’s 1 Moby Dick which has no signs of flowering at day 56, cant figure out what’s happening with it. I’m starting to think that it’s an Regular Feminized seed instead of an autoflowering.

Week 1-3 250watt metal halide
Week 4-13 250 watt hps
5 gallon living soil in fabric pot
Red clover living green mulch
Alfalfa sprouted seed tea (seedling stage)
Spinach fermented plant juice ( during vegetative)
Calcium phosphate from charred bones ( added during transition to flower)
Lacto bacillus (once every 4 weeks)
Fermented fish amino acids (during early flower)
Top dressed with gaia green powerbloom. (Early flower)
I decided to top this plant really last minute 10 days in to flower( yeah I know, probably not the best idea) and it didn't even phase this girl at all.
What I learned this grow:
Some plants smell more than others( by a lot). Use a filter even when venting outside.
The Green mulch was nice until I wanted to top dress. Need to find another form of mulch that I can move.
Lay off all the additives a bit. Not sure if any of the things I added really did anything but I like to experiment, and she took it well.
I will definately be growing this sexy little plant again💚

08/03/21:
Week 8!!! Her color is finally starting fade (about time lol) we're hoping she flushes fast from here.. we poked around and seeds don't seem to be as big an issue as once thought..her buds have swelled noticeably in the last 3 days, trichs are mostly cloudy..she's getting close 💪🐱💡🌱
08/05/21:
We purchased another new 315watt CMH to replace the 630watt that has been blowing bulbs (we were only running1 bulb in it lately)..the plants seem to do better for us with x2 315 lights spread out than 2 bulbs under the same hood..I'm really liking the wider spacing the clones have, they just finished their flower stretch under 315watts and the nodes are about 2-3 inches apart and not stacked tight like they usually were..we may buy another one of these lights just to have on hand...feel free to leave a comment or any suggestions that might help us improve, thank you for reading and happy growing everyone ❤️💡🌱🐈

Orion F1 organic, dry amendments.
The plant is really developing the flowers while they look really dense, and like they will be some very top shelf buds!
The buds are beginning to stack on weight now, and hopefully, we'll just see the colas become larger and larger as we go on from here!
I have gone through the tent this week, and I have removed a lot of the lower branches on the plants, as they're not going to grow into big colas or anything.
So it's better not to waste the plant's energy, developing those to hopefully redirect it into the larger flowers.
I'm really impressed with this plant so far, and the organic dry amendments are really working wonders, and that's been really eye-opening for me during this experiment!
I'm very pleased that Royal Queen Seeds were kind. Enough to allow me to try this experiment with some of the F1 hybrid strains.
It has been, and continues to be an extremely exciting experiment, and I am again learning more and more with each plant.
I cannot wait for harvest and to see what these buds look like after I've dried and trimmed them!
3.8.25:
I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with;
💜 1ml Trace
PH: 6.2
PPM: 371
I've just been keeping the medium, not bone dry, but there were some fungus gnats.
So I have let it dry out more than I usually would probably, because I wanted to sprinkle some Diatomaceous Earth on the soil, and it only works when it's dry.
4.8.25:
I watered with 3ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 with;
💜 3ml Ecothrive Trace
💜 1.25 TSP Ecothrive Biosys
PH: 6.6
PPM: 385
I am going to top dress next week as I checked and it has been exactly a month since I last did one.
Thanks for checking in and hanging out 😁💚✌️🌱🙏

Hey!
This was the last week of flower, I harvested on day 70 of flower.
Things could have gone better with this one, I've got a couple seeds left so next run they're going in and we're going to do things better..
Pretty happy with the results still, some terpy lemony stuff!!
Can't wait to see what this strain can really do.
Take care out there!
One love Growers & tokers!

The Inzanes are located on the far left side of the tent. They occupy the two outside rows (6 pots total). They are growing nice and quick with the two middles growing slightly slower. Also shorter stature to the middle two plants. Flip is on the horizon. Just waiting for the last blue gelato to establish roots and then its flip time.

Well it might not be the prettiest plant but the buds are getting really frosty so I'm excited to see how she turns out!
Edit: added a new video because I was missing my girl in the night. She's a frosty lady and smells great! Lol

Struggled with possibly a calcium and magnesium deficiency on #4. Had to remove some damaged leaves and now have separated it to her own reservoir. Has not stunt her growth, she is bout 5 inches taller atm then her sisters.
Flow has been a struggle, if I was do one thing different is go with a 1" drain system instead of the 1/2" it presently has. Started with a drip, yet due to clogs and wanting a faster circulation, I changed to a steady flow over the clay. Presently #1 - #3 are on one reservoir and #4 on its own reservoir (In the video above shows #4). It's been a matter of adjusting the output flow and tubing size to get maximum flow without backing up the drain system.

This week I put up a long video that features my new tent and new clones from these current clones that are flowing.
The hairs are turning color now and I have given them there last feeding, only straight ph balanced water from here on out to flush the plants so they taste nice.

Hi folks :-)
This week it has developed very nicely 👍
The shoots are starting to grow again, and will soon be ready to be tied down again 👍
I wish you all a nice weekend and let it grow 🍀🌱🙏🏻
