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: 1. Anesia Seeds - Epic Buzz (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/189991-anesia-seeds-epic-buzz-grow-journal-by-salokin) 2.

Ganja Farmer Seeds - Bruce Banner x White Russian (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/190091-ganja-farmer-seeds-bruce-banner-x-white-russian-grow-journal-by-salokin) For the enthusiasts interested in the details or seeking setup inspiration, here's a detailed equipment list for each tent: Equipment List for Tent 1: - Mars Hydro 120x120x200cm Grow Tent Dark Room - Mars Hydro Smart FC 4800 Samsung LED Grow Light – 480W - 2 x Mars Hydro UR45 IR & UV LED Grow Lights - Mars Hydro iFresh 6-Inch Smart Inline Duct Fan - Spider Farmer 6L Cool Mist Humidifier for Plants - Solea Infrared Heater 500W - Inkbird ITC-308 Digital Temp-Controller - 3 x Meross Smart Plugs (for power consumption tracking and UV/IR light timing) - 9 x 12.5L Airpots - 9 x 30cm Plant Rollers - 9 x 36cm Plant Saucers Equipment List for Tent 2: - Mars Hydro 120x120x200cm Grow Tent Dark Room - Mars Hydro Smart FC 4800 Samsung LED Grow Light – 480W - Mars Hydro iFresh 6-Inch Smart Inline Duct Fan - Spider Farmer 6L Cool Mist Humidifier for Plants - Solea Infrared Heater 500W - Inkbird ITC-308 Digital Temp-Controller - 1 x Meross Smart Plug with Consumption Measurement (to track electricity consumption of the tent) - 9 x 12.5L Airpots - 9 x 30cm Plant Rollers - 9 x 36 cm Plant Saucers I'm eager to hear any tips or suggestions from fellow growers. If there's anything on your mind about the gear or just want to talk shop, I'm all ears! I can't wait to update you all as these tents transform into thriving jungles of green. Here's to a bountiful season and some top-tier strains! Stay Lifted, Salokin

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos, y también, a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾 16 semanas de vida para esta planta hija de una Reina, nacida en casa y ahora cultivada al calor del hogar, siete semanas en horario de floración 12/12h y todavía tiene mucho que decir, su madre tuvo un periodo de 11 semanas de floración y si esta princesa sigue sus pasos los cogollos vana a ser majestuosos... a jugar He estado fuera unos días y al llegar todas las plantas gozaban de buena salud, las flores crecen y esta planta apesta, mis dedos se quedan pegados a las flores si las toco! Hoy al llegar he preparado una comilona para todas mis plantas, ahora, todos reunidos con música de fondo, hemos bebido felices y comido con placer y en abundancia... que siga el juego! Hasta la próxima... SALUDOS Y SALUD A TODOS!! ================================ Semilla obtenida el año pasado de la planta original, probablemente un retro cruce S1, un paso más hacia la auto suficiencia total en cultivos de marihuana! Mira el diario original: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/146971-grow-journal-by-defharo Info de la cepa original: https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Queen_Mother/Delicatessen/ Floración: 8 semanas Queen Mother es una cepa sativa estabilizada, gracias al minucioso y sistemático trabajo de selección y mantenimiento de la cepa, que el breeder Mario Bellandi, afincado en España desde hace más de 30 años, desarrolla sin descanso y con la máxima coherencia. El cruce inicial de esta cepa, y que hoy permanece intacto, surgió a finales de los 90 entre una sativa desconocida, cultivada en los altos de Tarragona (España) por la misma persona desde los años 60, unas semillas de la isla de Reunión y semillas de un cruce estabilizado de dos landrace congoleñas... ==============

As for the ground - worked for 99%. Water+organic stimulants = great set-up. Saw a bit of an excess of nutrients, I will take that into account next time. 120 grams of flowers not including trimmings, yes, there are some sugar leaves - and I'll keep those :))

Day 15. Girls got dried up again, but i transplanted them !!! Now in one day they stretched, happy and all will go as diamond ! Think i lost one week at the end of grow with all those hiccups ... Pots 30 liters, were topped up with Biobizz All mix soil 80% and Biobizz Worm Castings 20% , each girl got 600 ml of water. Big pots sorted low humidity too , now i have too high even, but exhaust is sorting excess.. Light is working well, but ... coverage for 3 plants is impossible, so for veg i still with help of pot rotation will manage, later ill plug one of my quantum boards as extra. For two plants TS1000 would be perfect in veg, for flower still its one plants light. Money wise its a huge grab ! Less than 100£ for 150W with dimmer ... Honestly impressed with it , maybe next week i wont mention it , but .... ;))) Tent is doing her job too, perfect size for 2-3 plants, even 6 inch fan fitted perfectly ! Chocolopez going well, all damage left behind. Really want to taste final product, have only good memories with this lineage. Happy Growing !!!

This give additional nutrient cooling without running water chillier. Refill soulution is @ 18c Checking EC and PH 2-3 times a day. The electroconductivity values are around 1.24EC. I maintain the strength until it drops or rises. For now, I’ve caught the perfect strength, the liquid is almost static with very small oscillations in electroconductivity and PH. Replaced all filters in the system, replaced on washing… Every other day is enough, during daily cleaning there is no dirt on the filters. The girls are handling the environment well, leaves are raised as they should be, they seem like very happy plants. Formation and enlargement of flowers can be noticed with the naked eye.

11/12 start of week 3 of flower hoping she is done stretching cus I'm out of room when it comes to height. Gave all the goodies plus added Fulpower and molasses 11/15 stretching seems to have stopped. Dropped humidity and raised vpd to stay around 1.5 and raised light intensity so it's 1000 ppfd at top of plant super cropped the main top to match the height of the side branches. 11/16 watered her with some wdg3000 and saps.

All I can say at this point is these genetics are stellar. She is still putting on bulk and has formed some truly beautiful colas. She's showing mostly cloudy trichs at this point so I believe I may chop her next week. I am not wanting to go too far past peak THC production as I am not looking for sleep medicine with high CBN. The smell is floral and quite pleasant to behold. She's frosty and looks like she will press into decent rosin when all is said and done. She's just coasting now, drinking plain pHd water and enjoying the last of her time in the tent. Really looking forward to the cut on this one. Thanks for following along and please click "Like" below if you dig what I'm doing here. Cheers! 👊🌱☮️✌️

Die Pflanze gedeiht. Ich bin überrascht, wie viele Blüten sie produziert hat. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit ist morgens sehr hoch aber bislang sehe ich keine Fäulnisanzeichen. Wahrscheinlich liegen wir noch etwas weg vom Taupunkt. Wasser + Ackerschachtelhalm.

This week Tangerine Dream Auto continued stacking up with a lot of nice flowers. I stoped with nitrogen last week. Now I concentrate on kali, potassium, silica, magnesia. I use only homemade fertilizers. Liquid manures, like from comfrey, nettle, field horsetail, banana peels, different bokashi juices made of fermented veggie and fruit waste and herbal flower tees. I need to canopy my plants this week on the balcony, cause we have high humidity and regular rain showers. So my plants get not so much sunshine these days, too cloudy.

So jetzt habe Ich meine erste Ernte hinter mir. Das Ergebnis hat mich überrascht. Mit so einem kleinen Setup und eigentlich Keine professionelle LED Lampe, Habe ich solches fertig bekommen. Nach dem groben befreien der Blätter habe ich auf der Waage 577 g nass. Ich bin gespannt wie viel es circa trocken sein werden. Ich denke mit 100 g kann ich wohl rechnen. Sobald sie trocken sind werde ich mich noch mal melden.
