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:

Update:
I noticed a strange chromatic coloring on some leaves of the "older" plants, a couple of the smaller plants have small brown spots on the leaves ...
i also noticed that the grow tent is quite hot and the ground is quite dry, could be that the watering maybe is not enough, so from today i'll give a bit more water. I didn't expect that kind of temp from a led, adjusting the watering should goes better.
Light regime ☀️21/3🌑 temp ☀️22/32 🌑 18.5/22 humidity 48%
The lamp is till running it at 100% of his power but I just moved the lamp up to 70cm from the ground for more air flow and maybe the leds where to near the leafs, this why the chromed coloring on leafs?

Plants looks already more happy now!!! soon photo/video update

Update:
Little check and evrething looks great now, the new distance of the lamp did the magic , temperature is also much much better and stable, all plants look bit happyer now 😁
Light regime ☀️21/3🌑
temp ☀️22/26 🌑 20/18 humidity 51%
07 Feb 2022
Update:
With a Lamp distance of 70cm at 100% is going really good, temperature is right and the earth in the pots also stays moist longer, the new leaves on all plants are doing well and the two "older" plants are doing a lot of side arms. In the last couple of days I have been noticing an increase in the speed of growth. The little BlackBerry Banana is staying small but is making new leaves that look healthier than the plant was born, I wait another week before deciding what to do but most likely I will pull her out of the tent and she will grow as an outdoor plat looking out the window 😂
Light regime ☀️21/3🌑
temp ☀️22/26.9 🌑 19.5/22 humidity 59%
08 Feb 2022
Update:
After a little thinking i decided and Ijust moved the small BlackBerry Banana plant out the tent for a "Free" grow ☃️🌈🌤️
😅😅
More air/co2 space and lamp ☀️ for the other 8 plants.
Sometimes have to do wha need to be done.

The looks on this one are sexy! It also burns even.
Effects wise, first 15 mins you perceive a high cerebral rush that peaks at 30 mins. Makes you feel creative and with energy. Later on, the cerebral effect dissipates and leaves you feeling all giggly and relaxed in da body.
The smell is all about sweetness and gas with a funky grapey smell hugging and keeping those close.
Colors didn't showed much cause of the 24/0 light cycle but it ended up showing some purple hues during late bloom.
Overall this girl was so fn grateful with the treatment she received.

Blue Cheese F1 automatic
Week 6 2/9-15
The Cheese gals are in full flower, the buds are puffing out and stacking. I even see some lower buds connecting to the upper buds and some pistils are turning brown. There is some smell when I open the tent. The F1 genetics are reflected in that these 2 plants are almost identical.
I don’t see much difference in their growth so far using the different mediums. Soil and soil/coco blend. Maybe harvest will show a difference in yield from each one. Time will tell.
On 2/13 I did major defoliation on my Cheese gals.
I removed all large fan leaves and any leaves shading bud sites. Initially, I thought this would be my last defoliation, however I have heard that 1) they continue to grow new leaves until day 20 of flower and 2) there must be enough foliage on the plant to photosynthesize energy. Well, I hope I left enough leaves for energy to keep bulking up the buds. Stretching has slowed down. Both girls grew only an inch and now 17 inches. This is only the end of flower week 2.
Controller is set to flower. I add 2 gallons of water to the T700 humidifier daily to keep the VPD in line.
2/9 & 11 4 gal fed 2 liter each nutrients added at ½ of recommended amount. Making 4 gallons since I have 2 pots of carrots and a Dill in the back.

The heat and humidity is crazy this week.... ac and dehumidifier... 😱
I have been trying to get low temps at night, the lowest coming in at 17.8 C. She usually sits around 22.2 C... Day time temps even with my ballast being able to dim, sit around 31.4 C without the AC, and 27.2 C with 👺
I do have outside air vent properly in/out... just a good old heat wave....
I was thinking that is was possible my last week, but the trichs are still mostly clear even though the white hairs are maturing...
Seems like Cindy sprouts new pistils everyday... I read that could be due to heat stress... which makes sense with the Heat Wave...😎
I am keeping an eye out for *bananas* since I also read that it is possible due to heat stres... don't want her herming out on me...
I'll let her go for another week then start looking to put her in darkness... not sure if I'm doing 36, 48, or 72 hrs darkness... or longer... 😵
Bam! 😜

Transplanted them to 15L pots. Should have skipped 3L pots.
One plant is showing signs of deficiencies. I’m not sure what causes it. Have noticed small holes in leaves.
Overall everything goes well👌🏿👌🏿

Week 16 Flower: Embracing the Flush & Celebrating the Shine 🌟
It’s week 16 of flower, and a pivotal moment in the grow journey! This week, we’re diving deep into the flush phase, a critical step in achieving those clean, flavorful harvests. 🌿 Switching over to just water with 0.5 ml/L of System Clean marks the start of what I like to call the “So Cal Flush.” We’ll break down the whys behind this practice, the benefits of flushing, and how it sets the stage for smooth, aromatic results. Let’s demystify this important phase together and make sure everyone feels confident implementing it in their own grows.
The Room is Glowing ✨
Every plant in the garden is unique, shining bright under the ThinkGrow LEDs! 🌈 Here’s the lineup of what’s happening:
• Green Papaya: The frost queen herself, dripping with trichomes, setting the frostiest example.
• Punch Pie: Claiming the crown for the fattest buds in the room—absolute monsters in size and density!
• Gorilla Melon: A beauty with mesmerizing red reflections dancing across her leaves.
• Papaya Zoap: Still stealing the show with snowy whites and pristine structure.
This week was a photographer’s dream—I pulled out my Sony and Nikon cameras to capture some jaw-dropping close-ups and unique angles. I’m sharing these shots to highlight the sheer diversity and beauty of these genetics.
Tech in Action: TM+ Pro App 📱
Let’s talk tech for a moment. The TrolMaster ecosystem paired with the TM+ Pro App has been an absolute game-changer. Capturing and sharing real-time data and alerts, it provides peace of mind and full control from anywhere.

I’ll share some videos from the app this week to show exactly how it’s helping me stay on top of the grow like never before.

The TrolMaster system is proving to be a standout solution for growers of all levels. Its intuitive design and easy configuration make it perfect for beginners, while offering the advanced customization and precision that experienced growers crave. Whether it’s managing lights, fans, or sensors, this ecosystem has you covered with simplicity and reliability.
