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:

Performed some HST this week. Pics and video were taken 2 days after the bending. I bent the main stalk a little lower than 1/2 way down. She was getting a little closer to the HPS light than I liked (but no signs of light burn). I expect her to stand straight up again in a few days but with a new knuckle at the bend point. Then I'll probably bend her over again 👍

Watered with 3 gallons RO water with no nutrients or supplements.
This may be the last watering. I checked each cola for amber and cloudy trichomes. There are about 5% of thr trichomes that are amber. There are about 50% that are cloudy. She is getting close.

Watered with 7 gallons RO water with no nutrients or supplements.
This completes the flush, as the runoff numbers are great.
She will get her 12 hours of sun today and then immediately followed by darkness for 36 hours, then hang whole.
Still reading up on finishing techniques so I have time to decide whether or not 36 hours of darkness are beneficial.

Week 9
Started this week flushing with plain water 4 times my pot size then followed directly with a 1ml per litre mix of Cal Mag and 75% recommended nutrient mix pH to correct value in order to treat deficiencies showed last weeks! I assume it was a PH issue... even so, i increased also the distance from my lights!
The buds of pot1 seems to have fatten a lot and looking at overall progress of this girl i might harvest the top buds in a few days and leave the rest of plant to mature. Slower development on pot2, this one have huge space betwin internodes and i´m dissapointed with the small size of her buds so far !
The smell are delicious (subjective i know but i love it 😅) and it´s getting very strong 💪!

Notes 📝
Just doing her thing 🌱💚 .. temps haven't been no more than 4degrees apart night and day. Thinking of introducing a inlet to help keep humidity down for last week's of flower as i can't get humidity under %40. Would ideally like it to be at %30 during that stage
Early frost signs ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Happy growing fam ❤️🌱🍁👍🏻

The plant in the front is showing some sort of stress symptoms. All corners of all leaves are bend upwards. Generally also very interesting to see how different the phenotypes are of the two seeds. I have been feeding as recommended but havent been able to check the EC of the runoff as my meter hasnt arrived yet. So might be to do with the nutrients, maybe light or heat stress. As it is summer right now the temperatures have been quite challenging high

1st try at LST I ripped a huge fan leaf off. 2nd try I think I got it right. Other than that I just check water levels, PPM and pH, then adjust as needed. These girls are a little short and bushy...pause....so I backed the light off a bit and noticed them climbing.
I also messed up and bought a wave maker to move water but didn't realize it'd rip my roots. This didn't matter because the roots 50x growth within a day or two.
During mid week 3 I upgraded the air pump and air stones after failing with the wave maker. I upgrade to a 2"x4" air stone and a nice 20w 475gph air pump. I believe this helped with growth tremendously because the girls are taking off 🚀
Also, water change! With the water change I bumped the PPM up, plants haven't responded negatively but I think I will back it down to about 700-750 since they seem to be taking in more water (pH rising, PPM rising).

I decarbox it about 30 45 min on 230degrees grind it up real fine and then I double boil it with glass or metal bowl on top with 2 cups of water and 2 sticks of butter I boil for 3 to 4 hrs the longer the better. And I just use a super this strainer it's very thin made of rubbery plastic no cheesecloth for me lol and I drain super well and pour it in a bowl to let sit in freezer a hr and the butter hardens so I cant peel it off and dump the water. And vuala!!

Removing any yellowing bottom leaves from all plants. Blue Afghan has started greening at the top and buds are developing nicely.
The Mac N Jack and the cherry garseeya are competing for fastest flowering, buds are gonna be massive and I have a feeling the Blue Afghan will catch up nicely.

July 23: A great week of warm sunny weather with enough rain to prevent the garden from becoming too dry. Flowers are stacking... a bit leafy but dense. Smell is coming on strong and resin developing complexity of different fragrances. Purple Punch has great structure and nice smell I'm sure most would really like.

I did try a new method to dry with this one (DryFermBags) weighted them every day and removed them from the bags after 10 days. She completely lost all the good smell and smells like hey now. 1 Of the bags also contained mold. Very sad cause i grew this pheno before and i love her smell.
