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:

Last week I started with a 3cm spacer, the 3 top head's grew 9cm apart (3rd head bit shorter).
This week I'm starting with a 12cm spacer, nearly all branches now have spacers on (bending them)
This will now naturally occur bending this wil reduce vertical growth and expose more of the plants surface to maximum light, gaining more tops😁
The other 11Roses has also now got a 10cm spacer inbetween her 2 head's.
I have topped all 4 longer head's I'm trying to train these two 11 Roses to be my new mum's(for cloning)...... Any tips anyone has would be greatly appreciated😁

A new week begins, I believe this will be the last week of vegetative growth, I noticed a bit of excess in CALiMAGic, the plants seemed to bend their leaves upwards, as if they had an excess of fertilizer.
On the 6th, I decided to wash the soil and now wait a few more days to change the light period.

I underestimated there food needs but am feeding more now, its also possible that my lights are too close as its the first time using led lights 🤔?
The plants are mainly all short apart from a danceworld and a kmi-S1 that seems taller than they normally are (there are 3 going two are short and one is twice there height) onto week 5
Happy New year 😎

📅 Week 8 | 🗓️ Day 50–56
Day 56 – Lemon Cherry Runtz 🍋🍒 (flipped to 12/12 on Day 50)
🔸 She put on some size this week. The canopy is compact and even, with many side branches sitting at the same height. Tape reads ~50 cm.
🔸 Leaves are a rich, healthy green with no spots or burnt tips. I’m still tucking the big fans every day so the lower sites stay lit.
🔸 At ~700 PPFD on 12/12, that’s a DLI ~30 mol/m²/day—right where I want it for the transition/stretch. SANlight 80% @ ~40 cm feels dialed in.
🔸 Looking ahead: in Week 9 I expect the first tufts of pistils on most tops. I’ll do a light defoliation/lollipopping if needed and keep stakes ready. She’s still a touch smaller than Papayton, but she’s catching up nicely in her own tempo.
📈 Current Conditions
🌡️🔆 = 24°C
🌡️🌜 = 19°C
💨 Humidity = 60%
🔦 PPFD = 700 µmol (12/12)

Big shout to RQS and @James for the beans for this grow. Once again the genetics from these guys is unbelievable.
Really appreciate all the likes messages and support from you awesome bunch of growers. ✌️🙌💚
Week 9 is upon us. Loving the way this Mimosa is filling out. Really putting some weight on. The pics aren’t doing much justice. Will carry on feeding for another 2 weeks the start the flush. The colours are really starting to come through. I will monitor the progression closely now and let the plants tell me what they need. Have a great week people ✌️👊🏻

Not a while lot to report on this week. plants are growing well. add in some BTi from a mosquito dunk and will apply some more next week. Plant number 3 Yellow is the most crystaly out of the three and the strongest grower. It also had the highest PH when I checked the other week. IDK if this if anything, I would think it would be doing the worst given its close border to PH lockout. Plants are nice and smell now too. All the little cuttings I took I forgot about and they died, But the clones that where rooted and chilling outside are mostly good. The clones of plant #1 Blue are dead, but plants #2 and #3 aka Red and Yellow are doing just fine.
Starting to get all my deck ready for this seasons grow. I think I will be trying out a good amount of Autos outside, Hopefully they won't mine the soil mix as its been to much in the past.
We will see how they do. Also prepareing a little how to guide for m0uses haus of projects. Styrofoam planters.
Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

Weather has been hot and humid! Going to have to look out for bud rot! We had super dry weeks and now a ton of rain and humidity—- with 90s. Doing great, but seems to have slowed a bit. Smells like a pine forest! ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

Transplanted and topped today. I always transplant and top at the same time as new shoots equals new roots! Maximize your grow! The roots are looking amazing for this transplant. I made another coco perlite and gaia green mix. This time with a 1:2 ratio of the 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 because I will be flipping to flower the week after the plants have recovered from topping. On transplant I use a mycorrhizae powder to reduce transplant shock and aid in nutrient uptake and root development. They still need some nitrogen to support them during the stretch but the added phosphorus helps with the stretch along with potassium to setting buds. I also installed my first layer of trellis to weave the plants in early. At the end of the week I got 2 autos and wanted to see what I could do with them so I planted them and then also got rid of one of the Caramel Creams (C.C) because it was lagging behind the other one a little to much.

[DAY 43] - 13/07/2022
- Temp. 29° / RH: 50/60%;
- EC 1.3; PH 6.3 - In the next few days:
a) I will gradually raise the EC up to 1.5, first with a large addition of CaMg+ (up to 3/4 ml/L), then moving on to the full pre-flowering feed;
b) I try to keep PH at 6.0 to improve the absorption of cal-mag;
- Lamp: 80% (120 watt) - 50 cm away from the center of the net - 18/6 cycle;
- Many leaves seems to be too green, almost dark green, we'll see next days how plant grows and fix if needed;
- I widened the canopy a bit outwards through the scrog net, I hope it will help the light penetrate better in the center;
- I also removed a single leaf that was very large and which from day one was blocking all the light in the center of the net. I was certainly wrong not to remove it before, which is a lesson to me for the next runs.
[DAY 44] - 14/07/2022
no update, just uploaded pics
[DAY 45] - 15/07/2022
- 28°/29° C - 45%/50% RH (dry day);
- PH 6.0/6.2 - EC 1.5 (1.1 preflower blend and 0.4 only CALMAG due demineralized water);
- Lamp: 80% (120 watt) - 40 cm away from the highest point of the plant - 18/6 cycle;
- A bit leaf tucking today - This weekend I'll remove the ties;
- Center of the net is slowly filling up, new small branches are popping up and I hope they can fill that central hole.
[DAY 46] - 16/07/2022
- 29° C - 65% RH (wet day);
- PH 6.2 - EC 1.5 ;
- Since yesterday almost all the new leaves are growing showing signs of some problem (look pictures). Some deficiency? Excess of nutrients? Other? I ask with a growquestion and hope to understand more about it. Fingers crossed 😐
- Thanks to the advice of @Chow_13 and @SwissKush I realized that the leaves were signaling me to start flowering nutrition right away, the plant is starting to require more P and K.
I just replaced the solution in the DWC with 8 liters of bloom nutrient. In the evening I upload some pics to show how plant reacts.
[DAY 47] - 17/07/2022
- 29° C - 65% RH (wet day);
- PH 6.2 - EC 1.6;
- I just regenerated the CO2 tanks and I decided to put them outside the box because they are too bulky (the tube through which the CO2 passes is inside the grow box).
[DAY 48] - 18/07/2022
- 29° C - 65% RH (wet day);
- PH 6.1 - EC 1.7;
- TS1000 40 cm away - 80% (120 watt);
- New leaves are growing well.
- Removed the branch tie;
- Found an ant on the log, but how the hell did you get in?
[DAY 49] - 19/07/2022
- 29° C - 60% RH ;
- PH 6.0 - EC 1.74;
- TS1000 40 cm away - 80% (120 watt);
- Plant is drinking about 1.5 liters of solution per day. I'm trying to keep the PH below 6.1, at the moment it is 6 and tomorrow I try to lower it to 5.9 / 5.8; I highlight how the solution inserted on 16/07/2022 had EC 1.6 and today the EC is 1.74, it has slowly risen over the last few days. For the moment nothing alarming, I see how it proceeds and if so I intervene;
- Removed the 2-3 liters still in the DWC and inserted 8 liters of new solution: EC 1.37 - PH 5.9. The plant was not drinking well, the EC was continuing to rise and tomorrow I start the new week, so I anticipated the replacement of the solution.
EC 1.6 was too much? Or the plant was not yet ready for a full flower blend? I don't know, let's see how it goes with the new solution.

Nothing to be mentioned, the plants reek like crazy, I cannot keep tent open for too long without stinking up the entire house. Other than that, they are freaking amazing. Will probably start flushing next week, if the trichomes start turning brown. Loving this strain, sooooo strong and tasty and this clone looks even better than the plant.

Another week in the books, one maybe 2 more to go, if the weather holds and humidity doesn't go crazy. Since grow diaries doesn't support more than 32 weeks, it's a bit of a pain to track the rest of this grow. Still I will post updates.
