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, doesnβt 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, Iβve 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 Iβm collaborating with Anesia Seeds and Ganja Farmer Seeds. They've sponsored some amazing strains for this venture. In Tent #1, I'm growing βEpic Buzzβ, βRed Banana Puddingβ, and βPink Matcha Slushβ from Anesia Seeds, starting with three seeds of each. Tent #2 will feature βCaramelβ, βGMOβ, and βBruce Banner x White Russianβ 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:

Week 8 - we are getting so close. The bud smells so amazing. Itβs a citrus earthy smell that I canβt wait to taste. The weather is cooling down and she seems to like that. I wish I had more hours of light, but sheβs as big as she is going to get.

Week 12 looks girl #1 is coming to a end. I havenβt over fed or over watered and sheβs starting to get yellow leaves. I feed her one more time at the end of this week. Starting week 13 Iβm going to start to flush her.
Her smell has gotten more intense this week also. She smells like sweet tropical citrus. Also she looks to be filling in more and her buds are starting to get a little dense. She definitely exceeded my expectations. I couldnβt have predicted from veg she would be this size.
Girl#2 unfortunately never started flower and sheβs going get 12-12 after I harvest girl #1. Iβll start another diary for girl #2 when that time comes. I knew she would be long winded but this is just extreme π.
I know you experienced growers know this story very well, but for a rookie like me π Iβm pulling my hair out and punching the air with frustration ππ€¬π€―π. This for me is a learning experience and I love the duality of this grow. Iβll know better next time I run into this time of issue.
Thank you for viewing my diary. I will be looking to possibly harvesting this girl in the next few weeks or sooner,

Plants are doing well, The 84" inch tent is a must if your not training or topping. I removed all the sacks that appeared last week and I haven't seen anymore show up so fingers cross, I check daily. Bigger tent also helps with heat control as the air has more room to rise. Hope you all like the pictures, I started to take videos as they provide more detail with less work.

Well this week is just another week by now, this lady has been threading through the scrog throughout the week and I believe this lady has finished here stretching and is in full on flowering mode now. Normally a plant stretches the first few weeks into flower to stop the growth and use the nutrients itβs getting now is used to store in the nugs and not the growth anymore.
Each cola of each branch has reached the scrog net and has a decent amount of light exposure due to the fact that I only has one light for 2 plants and the spread of the light isnβt the best.
Started making actual looking hairy heads with the on them π the leaf spread is just getting a lot.

This plant is doing splendid due to fact that the long and stretchy-ness of these branches has reached the scrog net above and beyond which makes it a lot easier to thread through the scrog and to get as much light exposure as possible for more thicker nugs π€
The heads on this lady has started making THC π the nugs are starting slowly to turn white which is very cool, because the plant is a dark green with WHITE nugs.
One branched has snapped which is quiet delicate and grows above the rest if the canopy and causes shadow from on
the bottom branches.

- Fly traps collected a plethora of gnats
- Had to till the first few inches of the soil while top dressing, as it was incredibly hard and dry
- Fertilized with Gaia Green Power Bloom + EWC + insect frass
- Carefully watered with a half gallon tea of DIY kelp extract, molasses, LAB and neem extract

I am shockedπ±...because...
Overwatering problem got more serious than last week on one bimba, that is not cooping well as others with water is getting.(I am on auto pot system)
I really think that forgetting to put the clay at the bottom of my vase on the airdome will give me some challenges.
Me and my bambine are ready for the fight!πππ
We will not give upπ½

This grew really nice and took a lot of beatings by me, she has great smell and I will be growing this over and over again. Just great I made a small handful of seeds but now I understand making seeds is not easy, I did it, it was a great learning experience that is just another part of what this great plant can do. this whole grow started great then took some dives and I was going to give up, I am real glad I did nt. I would have had a larger yield if I did not cut the stem to far when I topped, I was doing this plant as a research project as I know super skunk can take a beating and keep going. The strain is a real winner and bounces back as I put this one through a lot. great strain..
