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:

Grow-Report – Blütewoche 1 (Tag 1–7)
Strain: Neon Runtz (Wizard Trees)
Medium: Coco, 15 L Stofftöpfe
Lichtsystem: Spider Farmer G4500 + UV/IR-Supplement Bars
Steuerung: Spider Farmer Controller + Meross WLAN-Steckdosenleiste
Lichtzyklus: 12/12 (18:00 – 06:00 Uhr)
Grow-Philosophie:
• Die ersten 2 Wochen der Blüte werden als Stretch-Phase betrachtet
• Trichomen-Beurteilung ab Woche 10
• Ab Woche 8 kein Dünger mehr bzw. nur noch in minimaler Dosierung
⸻
Düngung
Basisdünger:
• Emerald Harvest Grow/Bloom + Cal-Mag
• Dosierung: +0,25 ml/L über Schema
Zusätze:
• PowerZym (Hesi, enzymatisch): Unterstützt Wurzelhygiene & Substratabbau
Gießverhalten:
• Tägliches Gießen mit ca. 30 % Drain
• pH Gießwasser: 5,8 / Drain: 6,1
• EC Gießwasser: 2,0 / Drain EC: konstant bei 1,3 → sehr gute Aufnahme
⸻
Lichtsteuerung – Supplement Bars
IR-Licht (Spider Farmer Bar):
• Aktiv: täglich 06:00–06:30 Uhr (30 Min nach Hauptlicht-Aus)
• Funktion: End-of-Day-Treatment zur Unterstützung der Phytochrom-Umstellung → gezielter Stretch
• Beobachtung: Erste Anzeichen von Internodienstreckung ab Tag 4, keine Überdehnung
UVB-Licht:
• Aktuell deaktiviert
• Geplanter Einsatz ab Blütewoche 6 zur Steigerung der Trichomenproduktion
• Steuerung erfolgt getrennt über Steckplatz mit Zeitschaltung (z. B. 20:00–22:00 Uhr später)
⸻
Pflanzenzustand & Entwicklung
• Pflanzen zeigen aktives Wachstum, Aufrichtung nach Lichtstart
• Keine Mängel oder Blockaden erkennbar
• Drainwasser ist klar, Wurzeln vital (unterstützt durch PowerZym)
• Geruchsentwicklung gering, aber sichtbar beginnender hormoneller Umschwung
⸻
Ausblick auf Woche 2
• IR-Licht leicht reduziert (z. B. auf 15 Min gegen Ende der Woche)
• Vorblütenentwicklung und Struktur der Seitentriebe im Fokus
• Düngeschema bleibt stabil
• UVB bleibt weiter deaktiviert
• Beginnende Wuchsberuhigung wird beobachtet → Übergang zur generativen Phase

Week 2 flowering for the girls!
We already see the streching, some plants are a little smaller but i will put a support under the pot if they continue smaller, we want to have a quite even canopy.
We also removed some lower branches.

Started flush now. I'm adding Nature Delight Active Sugar Boost as it's been recommended to boost terpene production. No idea if it will work this late into flower but trying anyway as apparently it has no need to be flushed and is fully organic.

*Will be topping them to find out Sex in straight 12/12 cloner hopefully we get more females than males.
* Will update journal later
*Ignore everything untill tomorrow
*So I cut them and put them straight into 12/12 the clones that is to show me Sex.
*You could see the hollow hole in the stem I wonder if that’s gonna cause an issue.

Day 1 - Once sprout popped from jiffy pellet and seed shell fell off I put into solo cup filled with Ocean Forest and in tent under lights. About 6 hours later it started to straighten out upwards.
Day 2 - Looking greener and true leaves slowly growing larger
Day 3 - Sprayed soil with a bit of water
Day 4 - True leaves slowly growing larger and praying upwards looking happy
Day 5 - Everything looking fine so far. Seems to be liking current temp and humidity.
Day 6 - Changed lighting from 24/0 to 18/6 and watered a bit.
Day 7 - Growth is slower than I would like but everything looks ok

Sep 1: there might be a bit of lower leaf damage on WP1 after the 2 C night here two nights ago. Otherwise everything seems fine and the buds are progressing.
Sep 2: removed some yellowing fan leaves that had been damaged by cold temps.
Sep 3: WP1 has finally stopped getting taller and is starting to flower. Good thing too cuz the days get short pretty fast now and it will be iffy as to whether this plant will finish in time.
Sep 6: Well, I spoke too soon as WP1 is still getting taller, and it grew 4 inches in 3 days. This far north, it should be flowering not vegging by early September. Oh well. Lots of insect life on WP1 (ladybugs, spider, flys, few ants even) and a few aphids so it seems to be in a balance and the plant is fine.
WP2 in the city was force flowered a while ago and is progressing nicely. These are in small 5-gallon pots in an attempt to limit their size and to encourage flowering.

The week is progressing well they continue to grow and flourish. I just fed them today 3 liters each of 1 ml floragro, 2 ml FloraMicro, 3 ml FloraBloom mixed into 3 gallons. They take 3 liters every 3 day. The main Cola of CF#3 has stretched all the way to the light. I thought about tying it down, however the light has not bleached it as of yet and it's been about 2 weeks.

Hey now, I hope everyone is having a great week and staying safe. It was a nice week for the Glueberry OG as she grew to her 7th node on day 26 and I just popped off number 7 gently so she will end up with 10 main chutes from 5 nodes as i also removed the bottom node which typically is larfy popcorn buds. If she had not reached node number 7 by day 28ish I would have just topped her above the 5th node as I have had great yields that way as well. Dutch Passion says she takes 11-12 weeks but autos usually start preflowering/flowering between days 28-35 depending on strain so I try to complete all toppings by day 28 or so with autos because if you top them after they start to flower they will suffer.
I have topped above the 3rd (for mainlines and mainifolds) as well as the 4th, 5th, and 6th with great results from each. As a general rule, the longer the autoflower is expected to take, the higher up I top her as she will have more time for more colas to develop. Some people think that topping stunts an autoflower, however as long as you allow her to grow a nice ball of roots and she is healthy, it only stunts mine for about 30-45 seconds.
Glueberry OG Auto is absolutely loving this Medic Grow light so far, and I am super impressed with how tight she is keeping the nodes. I am running on 60% power in the V1 or vegetative blue stage. I will start working the UV/IR Spectrum into the mix as soon as my 2 seedlings go into coco coir and can handle some more light. The Glueberry OG Auto is currently 6 inches tall and was topped above her 6th node, and since the first node doesn't start until 2.5 inches from the coco, that is a tight group! I will start LST tomorrow on the two top mains, as it has only been 48 hours since topping and they are growing fast. I see alot of growers tie down their entire plant to the ground for LST and that is ok but not beneficial imo. My goal is to keep her nodes tight, and then just LST the mains from the uppermost nodes, as to allow the lower nodes to catch up., while I typically clip the bottom most node as she typically only produces larfy popcorn buds. These are certainly usable for bubble hash/edibles/cannasugar etc. but they do drain some energy from your top shelf colas.
The goal of LST should be an even canopy as to minimize apical dominance. This will allow the plant to better utilize the existing light and limit wasted light that converts to heat. Tying a plant down restricts the airflow from the plant and impedes the growth of the lower mains. LST does not require pinning a plant down to the ground with staples, and although a cannabis plant will bounce back from this, it certainly will not reach its full potential.
As far as nutrients go, I feed veg nutrients until my auto is almost done stretching then I transition to full flower nutes over about a 6 day period. The only exception is if my plant is growing out of control and I am unable to slow it down through topping, LST, super-cropping, etc. At this point I would make the switch to flower nutes slightly sooner. So she will be feeding on silica, cal mag, and veg nutes for at least a few more weeks here and just some LST. Thanks everyone for stopping by and checking out my little grow, I hope everyone stays well, be safe and Blaze On! 💪💪💪

Sorry for the delayed post I honestly forgot I started this one lol...they’re doing great I had some of those biodegradable starter pots that I used n prolly let them stay in too long tbh but now they’re both in their new homes! One is all coco and the other is top-half coco/bottom-half soil..thanks for reading/looking

Gave her some preflower food and more mycorrhizae. She's stretching like crazy 🤣 I'm loving the smell all ready. Smelling lemon and fruits. Gave her some low stress training and at the end of the week.

Lo primero perdonad por no actualizar esto mas seguido, el trabajo y las pocas horas de luz solar no ayuda, cuando salgo es de noche y llego a casa de noche y no puedo prestarles mucha atencion a las plantas y hacerles las fotos correspondientes.. Pues asi van las niñas de Divine Seeds, la Auto Moon Rock me esta encantando, que monton de resina saca esta planta.. Ya empiezan a oler muy bien.. Como veis una de las Auto Fractal va a tardar mas en cosecharse que la otra auto fractal y que la auto moon rock. Ahora ya estare con actualizaciones mas seguidas, para el final del cultivo, el concurso no voy ni acercarme a ganarlo, pero da igual asi e podido probar estas geneticas de Divine Seeds.

Last week for our C-vibez grom dutch Passion! 🇳🇱
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!
