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:

Kushycat I defoliated the girls a bit again.
Gave another dose of Bloom Booster and, as always, some Alga and a small dose of FishMix a few days ago. and some Bat Guano Today
Sweet ZZ still disappointing. Will give her nutrients etc like the other girls and see what happens.
Peace out!
16.07.2025 It has rained and stormed heavily in the last two days, so the little darlings and the soil have been thoroughly rinsed. I cheered the little mice up with some farmyard manure. Also i did some Defoliation again.

Timelapse! I've meant to get a timelapse camera set up since I first started this grow. I am reasonably confident that future weeks will include full-week timelapses.
For most of this week, my plant has seemed to have stopped growing. It got to a point where the leaves were becoming wilted, which prompted me to add nutrients. I was a bit skeptical regarding whether it was a good time to do this, or if I would be adding nutrients prematurely. All has seemed to have gone well with the nutrients, as the next day the leaves perked up substantially.
Mid week, I changed the light schedule form 18/6 to 20/4 because I figured more light would enable better growth.
Currently, I am puzzled as to why the leaves have developed some light and dark splotches. Could this be a result of light stress?
EDIT (in response to my leaf spotting question):
Thanks to those who have responded to my leaf spotting question! I have raised the light from 18.5in (I never measured it until now) to the recommended 24in.
There is no chance of nutrient solution getting on the leafs to cause the spotting, but I did spray the tent with water + (dilute) hydrogen peroxide in an attempt to raise the humidity. Maybe this is the cause?
I am currently battling the relative humidity. As someone mention, it is low! If i plug in my room-humidifier, the humidity will get way to high (80%+). I've placed an open container of tap water + hydrogen peroxide mix in the tent, but it doesn't appear to do much!
I'd like to note here that I am using liquid indicator drops for my pH, so the pH is only my best measurement at the time of mixing solution. My pH may not be as low as I indicated this week!
I think I'll throw in some tap water in lieu of cal-mag supplements,. I figure my city's hard water may be of benefit here!

So these girls have started to explode , they were one of the first ones to get into their new home , so they are LOVING life right now.
The goal for this week :
Attach all shoots to the tomato cage ,
- get them ready for flower 🌹🌹🌺!!
I'm still working on getting a better set up for pictures, although they aren't in the best spot for pictures they are EXTREMELY happy with they lighting !!! position.
Find these gorgeous genetics at:
https://greenpointseeds.com/
Find all about the nutrients that fuel this grow
So I was just putting a note in their that when I was doing the video the temperature the leaves were slightly wilted . This was just do to a temperature.

La Etapa de Enraizamiento la desarrollo perfectamente igual que en crecimiento y en Floración, de 10 todo. Pensé que iba hacer difícil de cultivar ya que no es fácil esta genética.
Recomiendo como ya dije al banco de semillas BSF y a Top Crop por los buenos productos!
El 26/07 corte la planta para ya iniciar su etapa en secado, vamos a ir viendo como va surgiendo.

Just starting week 5 will keep updating as I go been having a couple issues lately with some of the top fan leaves, they've been starting to get a couple brown spots on 3-4 of the fan leaves not sure what the problem is yet if anyone has any suggestions let me know. Update: Just ordered in a new ph meter from Apera I'm pretty sure my cheap $15 dollar ph meter was all sorts of messed up. UPDATE: ec going in .7 runoff ec .86, ph going in 5.7 runoff ph 6.6 I'll see if the ph goes down now that I have the new ph meter my old one was definitely off. UPDATE: Got the EC down to .4 gonna start slowly introducing nutrients back in, also got the medium pH down to 6.1 from 6.6. Finishing up week 5 think I've gotten things under control now just need to get my EC back up now showing a couple signs up deficiencies on some leaves but nothing too bad, I'm thinking Week 6 will start flower. Did a Flush this Week now looking back on it I shouldn't have done that that caused my plant to go into a deficiency, what I should've done was not flush with half strength nutes I should've used normal strength nutes but just lower the ph more that was the real problem.

Good week, starting to get tons of bud sites. Did a clean up of all the lower branches and foliage to keep my focus on track. Top dressed some nitro bat to help with the small nitrogen deficiency.

Plants doing really well. This one isnt drinking as aggressively as the other 1 gallon plants. She's getting the same amount of water but is becoming more water logged than her counterparts previously.
She's turning dark dark in the leaves. Almost black.

Wanted to wait til they were healthier to flip but ended up just flipping anyway since I was running out of height space. Will probably defoliate more up until week 5 and then just let her do her thing after that!

Week 6 for the Oreoz from Super sativa seeds club.
Amazing strain, the buds are hard as rocks and explode in trichomes. This strain is a must! I hope super sativa seeds club add this one to their catalogue after they completely finished their testings.
