Ehy ragazzi tutto bene? Spero di sì.. Nn mi ripeterò in questo terzo diario nelle qualità stupefacenti della grow box della Mars hydro, posso solo constatare che funziona tutto alla perfezione, il controller Dell aria in entrata è Dell umidità funziona che è una bellezza! Ora è molto più pratico da utilizzare e puoi impostare tutto e quasi dimenticartene! Vabbè ora sto esagerando, perché cnq non essendo l'ultimo modello Smart che si poteva collegare WiFi, quello si sarebbe stato un verrò doppio passo in avanti per gestire al meglio le mie ragazze da una sola app sullo smartphone! Spero in futuro magari un altro upgrade del controller ssmart sarebbe davvero una cosa che apprezzerei tantissimo dalla collaborazione con questa grande azienda Mars hydro! Vi lascio qua sotto i link della tenda e del fan https://marshydro.eu/products/mars-hydro-100x100x180cm-grow-tent/ https://marshydro.eu/products/4-inch-inline-duct-fan-and-carbon-filter-combo-with-thermostat-controller/

Ciao a tutti! Ho finalmente finito il mio primo giro in idroponica. Dunque, al netto dei miei errori che avevo messo in preventivo, è un metodo davvero ottimo per coltivare. Salta subito all'occhio la velocità palese con cui crescono le piante, molto di più rispetto al metodo classico a terra. A suo favore posso anche dire che lascia molto più pulito il box non avendo terra e quant'altro. I vasi da svuotare sono pratici, mi sono segnato però delle tacche per segnare i livelli a diversi litri, da poter capire come fare quando si deve rabboccare di acqua. Le note dolenti. Beh innanzitutto sconsigliato assolutamente a luglio e agosto per via delle temperature, l'acqua nel vaso dovrebbe stare a 22 gradi al massimo, io stavo almeno a 5 in più. Poi, avendo 35 litri d'acqua in 3 vasi e avendo 10 prodotti da utilizzare nella quantità di 2 ml/l, non posso dire che sia la via più economica. Anche se bisogna valutare anche che, soprattutto in vegetativa, si rabboccano i prodotti anche a distanza di 2 settimane,quindi con ampie pause tra una volta e l'altra. Ho sbagliato a calcolare l'allungamento quando le ho girate in fioritura, si sono allungate almeno il doppio di quello che pensavo e così facendo non si sono formati dei bei fiori apicali grossi, ma tanti fiori sulla stessa ramificazione e quindi ci ho rimesso almeno in impatto visivo di sicuro. Però questa è una cosa che dipende dalla velocità dell'idroponica, la prossima volta lo so e mi comporterò di conseguenza. Nota dolente assai: la muffa. Ho sbagliato a volerla fare nel periodo estivo, fa troppo caldo e per mitigare la temperatura ho usato anche l'umidificatore in fioritura. Errore madornale, ho buttato via 60-70 grammi. Già l'estate scorsa ho avuto problemi di temperatura, la prossima sicuramente non coltiverò, sono stato un cretino.

Week 10, so from today I stopped watering the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe and on Saturday no more light as well. Sunday is harvest day finally. Not much changed, I raised up the water with 25ml so the Purple Punch gets 200ml 2 x a day. That's all, since last week I started giving 13 hours darkness and 11 hours light and from Monday will be 12/12 after I harvested the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe and I can use the tent only for her. Fertilization will happen on the same days. Sunday fun day, Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is harvested. Purple Punch left alone. From tomorrow I will switch the light schedule 12/12. End of the week Purple Punch is 43 cm.

🌸 Lava Cake – Week 7 (3rd Week Flower) | Blossoms Rising The third week of flower has arrived, and our Lava Cakes are stepping fully into bloom. Both girls are looking beautiful, symmetrical, and strong, with thick white pistils reaching out and leaves still praying to the light. Their similarity in structure makes this run feel almost like growing twins, each reflecting the same genetics, each glowing with energy. ⸻ 🔙 Looking Back – The Road Here From seeds sprouting in soft cups → to vigorous veg under Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs → to the careful transplant and expansion in the 8x8 ecosystem, every stage has been about setting a solid foundation. • Feeding: Aptus core line + Plagron boosters • Training: Gentle guiding, letting them branch freely • Environment: Tuned by the TrolMaster brain, with sensors guiding irrigation and VPD All of this has brought us here: lush plants in early bloom, no signs of stress, and a canopy built for flower stacking. ⸻ 🍽️ Current Recipe – Staying Steady This week, we keep the same feed — consistency is key as the flowers set. Per L Water: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.5 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml With the Aptus All-in-One Liquid still paused, the soil’s embedded nutrition + pellets are helping balance things out while these bloom boosters do the heavy lifting. ⸻ 🌡️ Room & Rhythm • Temps: ~31–34°C (still awaiting the AC unit for stabilization) • Humidity: ~60%, bringing VPD near 1.9 kPa • Watering: Daily — plants are drinking heavily, irrigated once substrate moisture falls near 19–20% • Monitoring: TrolMaster WCS substrate sensor + Tent-X keep us informed on EC, moisture, and temps directly in-soil Even with warm conditions, the Lava Cakes are thriving, drinking more, praying more, and pushing out flowers with confidence. ⸻ 🌸 Week 3 Flower – What We See • White Hairs: Thick, long, and vibrant, covering the tops like cotton clouds. • Flower Formation: Calyxes stacking, pistils reaching — no signs of hesitation. • Leaf Posture: Still upright, showing photosynthesis and metabolism are strong. • Uniformity: Both plants showing the same pace and morphology, a sign of stable genetics and consistent environment. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – What to Expect / Not to Expect ✅ Expect: • Rapid stacking in the next 2 weeks — buds will start to swell noticeably. • Aroma development — sweet Lava Cake terpenes may start teasing the air soon. • Nutrient demands rising steadily as flowers form. ❌ Not to expect: • Big trichome coverage just yet — resin production typically comes later. • A slowdown — stretch is nearly over, but flower development is just beginning. ⸻ ✨ Closing Thoughts The Lava Cakes are shining this week. Both are aligned in their growth, both are drinking and feeding with rhythm, and both are showing that the careful setup, from lights to irrigation to sensors, is paying off. Week 3 of flower is a promise — not yet the harvest, but the first real glimpse of what’s coming. Thick pistils today, heavy buds tomorrow. With consistency in feeding, environment, and care, these girls are well on their way to becoming the stars of the room. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

So, that’s it. :-) Hemprietta is no longer among the living. After an 8-day drying phase at 45 to 53% humidity, she’s now chopped up and curing in two jars. The yield is pretty big. Due to local legal restrictions, I’m not keeping everything—I got rid of all the small stuff. What a luxury to have a selection… and how ridiculous not to be able to keep it all. :-) Oh well, it was still a joy… I kept the best buds. And damn—are they beautiful! Final thoughts: Main-lining works extremely well for a sativa in a small grow tent, even with the extra 2 to 3 weeks of training. It’s great for height control and gives the plant a solid structure, resulting in almost exclusively fat, dense main buds. I’d say the yield-to-effort ratio isn’t compromised at all. If I had kept all the solid buds (no popcorn buds), the dry weight would have been around 110 to 120 grams—which would be perfect for a two-person household. ;-) One thing I’ve learned: a 95-watt lamp might be slightly overkill for a 40x40 cm tent… Update after curing an tasting: After about three weeks in the jar, I finally had the chance to try Hemprietta. Yay! I’m really impressed with the effects—this is some seriously fine herb. I can’t decide whether it takes first or second place in my personal top 10. The high is pretty strong, which I don’t usually love as an occasional smoker, but since there’s no real couchlock, the intensity is totally fine for me. After a long, stressful day, just a few puffs completely wipe out any tiredness and make you want to be social again. A light euphoria and good mood set in. You feel focused and receptive—though whether you actually are focused is another question. At least while playing FIFA, there were no mediocre results: either a crushing 7-1 victory or a humiliating 1-7 defeat—nothing in between. Conversations are fun and quickly get silly to downright goofy. At higher doses, you get properly stoned and suddenly feel an overwhelming urge to inhale obscene amounts of potato chips and gummy bears. Great for the soul, not so great for the waistline. But hey, it works. It’s crazy how even then, you don’t feel stuck to the couch. Overall, a fantastic experience. I can fully recommend Laughing Buddha—it’s perfect for social occasions! ----- So das war's wohl. :-) Hemprietta weilt nicht mehr unter den Lebenden. Nach einer Trocknungsphase von 8 Tagen bei 45 bis 53 % Luftfeuchtigkeit ist sie jetzt zum Härten zerstückelt in zwei Gläser verteilt. Der Ertrag ist ziemlich groß. Auf Grund der hiesigen gesetzlichen Bestimmungen behalte ich also nicht alles - sondern habe den ganzen Kleinkram beseitigt. Was für ein Luxus eine Auswahl zu haben. Und wie bekloppt nicht alles behalten zu können. :-) egal, war dennoch eine Freude... Die schönsten Buds habe ich behalten. Und meine Fresse - die sind aber auch schön! Als Resümee: Main Lining funktioniert bei einer Sativa in einem kleinen Growzelt mit ca 2 bis 3 Wochen Mehraufwand extrem gut, um die Höhe zu kontrollieren und der Pflanze eine sinnvolle Struktur zu geben. So entstehen eigentlich nur fette / harte Main-Buds. Ich würde Mal behaupten, dass der Ertrag im Verhältnis Aufwand-Nutzen keineswegs geschmälert ist. Wenn ich alle ordentlichen Buds (keine Popcornbuds) aufgehoben hätte, wäre sicherlich ein Trockengewicht von ungefähr 110 bis 120 Gramm herausgekommen - was für einen Zweipersonenhaushalt perfekt wäre ;-) ich lerne daraus, dass eine 95 Watt Lampe für ein Zelt 40x40 offensichtlich etwas überdimensioniert sein könnte... Update nach Curing und Verkostung: Nach etwa drei Wochen im Glas habe ich die Gelegenheit gehabt Hemprietta zu verkosten. Jay! Ich bin sehr angetan von der Wirkung. Aus meiner Sicht ein richtig feines Gras. Ich bin unentschieden, ob es auf Platz 1 oder 2 meiner Top 10 landet. Die Wirkung ist ziemlich stark - eigentlich finde ich das als Gelegenheitskonsument nicht sooo geil, aber da kein wirklicher Couchlock eintritt ist die Stärke voll okay für mich. Nach einem langen stressigen Tag ist die Müdigkeit nach wenigen Zügen vertrieben und man bekommt (wieder) Lust auf sozialen Kontakt. Eine leichte Euphorie und gute Laune macht sich breit. Man fühlt sich ziemlich fokussiert und aufnahmefähig. Ist man auch wirklich fokussiert? Schwer zu sagen :-) zumindest beim FIFA zocken gab es keine mittelmäßigen Ergebnisse mehr. Entweder Sieg 7:1 oder Niederlage 1:7 - aber nichts dazwischen... Gespräche machen Spaß und sind schnell ziemlich lustig bis albern. Bei höherer Dosierung ist man schon ziemlich breit und hat Bock obszön viele Kartoffelchips und Gummibärchen in sich zu stopfen. Gut für die Seele, schlecht für die Figur. Passt also. Verrückt, dass man auch dann noch nicht das Gefühl bekommt an der Couch zu kleben. Also insgesamt ein großartiges Erlebnis. Ich kann Laughing Buddha voll und ganz empfehlen. Sehr gut geeignet für soziale Anlässe.

The day of harvest has arrived! Even though it always feels like a big day - at least for growing, lol - there isn’t actually much to be done. I always hang the plants as a whole and only trim enough to make sure there are no air pockets during the drying process. I know it might spark some controversy, but I dry by VPD, which also lets me adjust the humidity according to the temperature. Each plant came in at around 200g wet weight, which is rather small - but honestly, if the quality is high, I don’t mind. I have to admit though, they are very small 😜. The smell is as expected: like you put your head in cookie dough! Until next time!

Day 7 i I transplanted the seedlings in jiffy’s to the DWC basket water level was “just” touching the bottom of the basket which meant there was 1mm- 2mm air gap between the water level and the jiffy’s. The high pressured air in the water to spit when air was released at the top which kept the bottom of the jiffy moist which had minimal roots showing to the exterior of it. Day 7-13 I originally had 7.5 litres of water that was to the bottom of the basket. I replaced the water on the 13th which meant the water was changed after 6 days at such an early stage I will regularly change the water in the buckets. You can change every 7-14days but I am taking no chances. I refilled and added nutrients on Day 13 which was yesterday. And the plants are doing really well and are a nice VEG green colour. Hard to tell on the pictures with the light colour but you can see their progress. When I replaced the water this week I put 6.5L of water in each bucket With nutrients PH’d as close to 5.8 as possible. Some varied from 5.72 - 5.9. I have noted these on each bucket so that I can check if one does better than the others or shows deformities or stress I can amend it to match the others but hopefully not in such a close proximity of 5.8ph with an EC of 700+- The roots are now showing in every pot with the longest being some 6inches. The new Wakyme grow light is top notch so far with VEG button on only. Anyone contemplating buying one it cost me £99.00 from amazon and so far is performing just how I would like. Humidity has been taken care of with a cold air intake fan which is pulled from another area of the building of a cooler environment. Temperatures are spot on where I want them but I do allow a 2degree +- allowance but it does change back to its original temperature quickly enough. 5 more speed bud germinated and 2peyote critical feminised photoperiod germinated. Crystal candy XL auto ordered x10 Gorilla glue, Pineapple Express and Cali Kush waiting in the wings. I have these already If I can be anymore help to anyone let me know. Your diaries are helping me and hopefully I can provide the same to you

So she grew significantly...sideways, upwards..hopefully downwards too...I want a really strong and well structured Stem and root-base!! Reason for Silica, but also trying not to over feed her.. Other than that...was a real blessing watching her pray for light and dance.. Wonderful!!

Week is going super well, did notice trichomes are starting to develop more in the coming weeks. Still struggling with watering mainly because i have 3 different strains and i dont know the flow yet. Watering schedule is thrice a week, I nutrient feed on sundays, water on wednesday and compost tea on fridays 500ml each pot. Will be monitoring the trichomes hereafter, today is day 90 from germination, super happy with the results no stunted growth or slow growth. Will set my harvest day between day 120-150. I am targetting longer harvest time for the purple punch because they didnt fight for the light and bullied by 2 monstrous sativas. Since it is indica dominant, i am going to chop them once i see 70% amber
