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:

01/10/22 Everything is Going good, which means something bad is going to happen. Plants were 9 inches at the end of week 4 on day one of week 5 they were topped and defoliated which brought the height to 4.5 inches, So after the shock of having there tops removed they grew 4 inches in one week. Extremely happy I'm keeping track.01/13/22 Defoliated and LST'D the plants.01/14/22 Adjusted LST , removed all branches growing on the underside to allow for proper Growth of other branches. Fingers crossed this should be a decent harvest flipping on week 9.

So this grow wasnt to bad considering it was my first indoor auto grow. For the most part I am satisfied with. However I will stick with the high end genetics from here on out as I want to grow the dankest of the dank and this is what I enjoy doing so why not do it the best way possible with the best names in the game. Stay tuned to see what 🔥 I’m growing next!!! Thanks for tuning in and as always stay Smokey my Friends!! 💨💨💨

I counted the days again and came to the conclusion that I have 70 days full and harvested tonight.
Enough brown and amber trichomes are also present. I'm excited to see how they taste and pop.
They definitely look and smell very good.
What's really funny: From the 2-3 week onwards, I turned both TS1000s up to 100% for 18 hours a day. I just wanted to find out my cap.
I used around 100kW/h and €40 less in electricity costs. Compared to my last grow with Feminized and 10 weeks of flowering + Veggy. I wouldn't have expected that.
Well... let it dry in peace first.
Another project is already underway. Have a nice weekend everyone.

Lovely big chunky lady. 80ccm across colas that are thick as a babies arm.. and a delightfully zesty sweet smell when she wobbles in the breeze.
My queen this run for sure. Such an imposing girl...
Feeds are down to 1.6ec as I remove the more pk from her diet. She just gets greenbuzz nutrients organic bloom for the duration now.
Lights are at 60% giving 1100umols average across the canopy.
Just a pleasure to grow..
Thanks for passing.
Grow well 🌿💚🌿🙏🏼

🤘🐱 Week 6 is here!! The "Fast" strains are getting super close, I think they'll be finished by week 8..calmag issues came up the minute we ran out, we got some more today and gave them all a good dose but we're cutting all nutrients after today, they'll get water only until harvest (color be damned lol)..The White Widow fast can eat a ton but the Amnesia fast seem very intolerant to even light nutrients...the separate feeding regiments in the same tent hasn't been fun but I'm glad its now behind us..We have a Chemdawg#4 in the same area but she appears to be weeks behind the "Fast" strains..We're excited for this harvest, our personal supply is getting dangerously low. again lol...we have several White Widow Fast clones we may flower immediately after these, or give away to family, smoke quality will be the determining factor...The SP-3000 is the best light of its size we own, this is the 3rd complete grow and we couldn't be happier with how dense ,tight and long the buds form..,strains we've grown in the past under CMH/HID (315watt) do so much better under the Marshydro,... its the only tent we have that we don't worry about getting complete coverage corner to corner, absolute best bang for buck imo... thanks as always for dropping by, we'll be sure to update if anything crazy happens..Happy harvests everyone!! ❤️💡🌱😽💨

These girls got left alone for a week and they are growing great so far. I have both of them in a 5 gallon together and they seem happy so far. First time growing two plants in one pot.

Plucked a few more leaves but other than that just feed them this week including bloom.
Also gave them some rice starch (from boiled rice water collection) on day 42 as a boost for the microbes 👍
Turned the IR off now and turned up to 34000lux

In week 10 I have some plants, which have grown taller than the rest (canopy is appr. 80 cm high now). In order to not have to raise my lamp, I rather correct their height by 'supercropping' them. Supercropping is a technique developed by SOMA from SOMA_seeds and works VERY WELL. Instead of topping your plants (=cutting off the main stem) it is better to take the main stem between your fingers (appr. 15-20 cm form the top) and brake the fibers inside and then bend it downwords. This way the stem will stay intact and heal itself and you dont loose the main buds growing on it later. In the video above I show and explain how I supercrop a plant.
The plants are now getting more and more into flowering and therefore I switch the dimmer on my SANlight EVO4-120 plants to 100% now (see in video above).
The BIO NOVA nutrients are increased as well a little bit, so the plants can build big buds.

5th week of veg:
I'm happy with the current structure and spread of tops. I had to pull the light even higher she is growing tall already, can't wait to see how tall she gets once in flower.
Speaking from flowering, I will switch the light cycle to 12/12 during the next days. So next weeks dairy entry will be the first in flowering.

Been a week and half from I started the LST training, really starting to bush out so much. Growing really very!! Had some amazing hot days. Maybe to hot for a bit. Water system working really well. 👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😀😀😀😀😀
New photo today, not sure if she's in pre flower!?
Should be seeing her in three days!! Let's see how bushy she got from the super cropping and LST. I'm hoping she will climb through the middle.

The Blackberry Moon Rocks are looking promising. One of them is growing into this beautiful little bush, and I think it's almost ready to harvest. The other plant is stacking up buds, but I'm thinking it's still a couple of weeks away.
The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

Going to yield POUNDs off this girl!!
12/19/23-- Update: Shogun is a big girl- for an INDOOR grow!. She's 3ft tall, and still shows vertical growth!
Considering I did not veg long. Shogun popped up out of soil on Oct 4th 2023, and she was switched to flower same day & time as my Royal Dwarf (aka Itty-Bitty) they've both been on 12/12 for over a month now. Itty-Bittyis an Autoflower, and Shogun is a photoperiod.
I can see now the difference between Autos& fotos in growth &bud development,
Shoguns trichomes have not appeared yet! She's definitely going to be in the flower stage for a few more weeks, perhaps another month?
As I said She's in middle of flowering and still showing vertical growth, and to measure HER I use a yard stick now lol
I think she's my favorite, along with the Cookies gelato (but don't tell my other plants!)
