Day 8 - Girls starting to come on now. Looks like their roots have settled and starting to see some pokies coming out of the bottom of the root pouches so hopefully start to see some good growth beginning soon. Get them ready for training and the likes. Not changed the water this week (really should have as temp has been up a bit...into the 25's in the tank but plenty of Great White in there and no roots in water yet but...) - topping up with plain water to keep the EC level and just pH adjusting. Last weeks solution was a bit hot for my liking but no burn signs so should be good for a couple more days yet. Got some iceline procured so been cleaning/flushing/sterilising the Hailea for getting it installed (That's when the water change will happen...likely to last weeks strength & recipe). Cant wait to get that in to get tank temps down (as roots will be in the water in about 5 days by the looks of things...tops!!! Also have the Torus Hydro pH Perfect Inline run through for a couple of days so it will be ready to go in to keep the pH good for me (A grow off and my pH skills are out the window!!! 😜). Just waiting on a Sicce Syncra 3.0 to pump the chiller and the pH Perfect (Bit overkill @ 2700LpH but looking something for the URDWC I am building for next year...thought the extra pressure would help with the inline pH adjuster too). Apart from that, will download the stills for the time lapse video and upload tomorrow. Happy Growing all!!! 💪

4/20 AM all the photos are looking good. The Tyson’s are done. 👍👍👍🍇⛽️ 4/21 4:30AM Took small samples of BTT!!! Smoking now. Heavy hitter right off the tree. she is looking already done Grimm Seeds finish fast once flowering. Wasnt expecting that! I will grow some more and veg longer. I am RE-vegging. Ricky and Bubbles they are almost a year old and I want to keep thiem. Julian can go fu...no Julian was flipped at Week 6 or 8 produced the best tight buds smells like...'tangerines. 4/21 5:04AM VIDEOS 2 MONTEL'S, THE TALL ONE AND 1 TYSON, PUNCH PIE & GELATO 44!!!! 4/21 FLUSHED THE TYSONS WITH JUST WATER AGAIN AND WOW!!!!! LOVE THE RQS TYSON PHOTO PLANTS!!!! THEY ARE STRONG THEY CAN GROW UNDER HIGH STRESS CONDITIONS. I DID TREAT THEM EARLY ON WITH MY OWN WIZARD MAGIC WITH AMINO ACIDS THAT MIGHT HAVE HELPED BUT THEY ARE GREAT 9/10. 4/22 Kasa smart plug model EP-10 FAILED by turning into a strobe after random fails... The bigger ones are fine I have not had any problems, BUT the small ones failed. Thankfully I had them on my internet and not in the grow room!!! Random dropouts, clicks on and off like being hacked, but NO the mini Kasa smart plug failed, the others are good, the strobing on and off would have severely damaged electronics...I did NOT know that could happen! THE MORE YOU KNOW! 4/23 11AM CHOP DAY BOTH Tysons came down. They were ready a while ago. They did GREAT. Underfilled 2 gallon pots. Low light using 2 TS-100-'s at about 50 to 60 Watts. No idea how m;uch i got 4/24 3:20AM Tysons are drying perfectly, great color!!!! Video with Pink Kush and CBG by Seedsman in there 4/26 for 19 a.m. brothers Grimm seeds are way better than I thought they could be as long as I grow them right and one thing I’ve noticed and I may have to do a permutation combination thing on this is that with brothers Grimm seeds I can flip them at ridiculously early rates like four weeks keeping them in a vegetative state for a shorter amount of timing and flipping them I’m still getting auto flower seed and and weight not seed speed auto flower speed and weight so if I flip a black T Tay at four weeks, I’m getting just about the same weight as an auto flower but I’m using less power cause it’s at 12:12 same with all of the brothers Grimm seeds they seem to flip and flower at extremely accelerated rates. It’s really great. GROK SAID... ""**Yes, you're asking a really good practical question.** Here's a clear breakdown of how **short-veg photos** (your current style: flip after ~4 weeks) compare to **autos** in your specific low-power, small-tent setup with Brothers Grimm seeds. ### Side-by-Side Comparison (Your Setup) | Aspect | Short-Veg Photo (4 wk veg + 8-10 wk flower) | Auto (13-19 weeks total) | Winner for You? | |-------------------------|---------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------| | **Total Grow Time** | 12–14 weeks | 13–19 weeks | Photo (faster) | | **Light Schedule** | 12/12 (or 11/13) | 18/6 or 20/4 | Photo (less electricity) | | **Wattage / Intensity** | Can safely push higher (140-180W total) | Usually lower to control heat | Photo | | **Yield Potential** | Smaller plant but decent per plant | Often bigger single plant | Similar or slight edge to Photo in your case | | **Electricity Use** | Lower (12 hrs/day) | Higher (18+ hrs/day) | **Photo wins big** | | **Risk / Complexity** | Lower (you control flip) | Higher (no control over timing) | Photo | | **Re-Veg / Cloning** | Easy | Not possible | Photo | | **Consistency** | Very good with Grimm genetics | Good but more variation | Photo | ### Bottom Line for Your Style **Your short-veg photo method is actually excellent for you right now.** - Brothers Grimm photos (Black Tea Tangi, Ricky’s Hash Plant, Montel Dream Widow, etc.) respond **very well** to early flips. You’re already proving you can get solid, frosty buds in small pots without them taking forever. - Running **two TS1000s at ~140–160W total on 12/12** should give you **comparable or better** results than most autos in the same space, while using **significantly less electricity** and giving you more control. - You can harvest one tent, flip the next, and keep a near-continuous cycle — something that’s much harder with autos. ### Recommended Parallel Test (Simple Version) Do exactly what you’re thinking: 1. Take 1–2 strong photos (e.g. Montel or Ricky’s) and veg them only 4 weeks → flip to 12/12 with **two TS1000s**. 2. At the same time, pop 1–2 autos (same strains if possible) and run them on 18/6 or 20/4 with **one or two lights**. 3. Compare yield, quality, smell, and total electricity cost at the end. You’ll probably find the short-veg photos win on efficiency and control, especially with how well Grimm genetics are performing for you. **Quick Tip:** When you flip early, keep the lights a bit farther away the first 7–10 days after flip (18–24") to avoid light stress, then lower them as they stretch. You’re not wasting anything by harvesting smaller plants — you’re learning what actually works in *your* real-life situation (small tents, limited power, limited spoons). That’s smart growing. Want me to help map out a simple staggered schedule so you always have something finishing? Or tips on how to maximize those early-flip photos? Keep going — you’re on a good path."""💡👨‍🔬💡

Día 81 y no puedo estar más ansioso porque ya ha llegado el tan anhelado día de la cosecha 🤩, esta hermosa planta excelente un aroma dulce, cremoso y un poco ácido como frutillas. Luego de la sesión de fotos se cortará por ramas y será colgada en la tienda de cultivo con ambiente controlado. Volveré en unos días luego del secado para dar una reseña sobre el sabor y aroma de esta belleza. Como siempre agradecer a FastBuds por tan buenas semillas. BUENOS HUMOS 👽

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 35 start of week 5 since sprout Today I increased my ppfd to 410 highest, 400 center, and 385 lowest (also raised the light panel to 32 inches and increased the wattage to my second tick up of 5) temp and humidity are set at 74F/63%RH/33%IL Vent Oldest leaves are looking more and more crusty now and crack when touched. And now one of my newest leaves are starting to show signs of the brown spots. HST looks to be going okay as all branches turned upward in a day - seems like the stems are now dried out but I could just be noticing hardwood setting in - I know they are still letting something through as the newest nodes are starting to grow - hoping it's just a transition to the new position but will obviously monitor Defoliation, removed the 4 oldest leaves affected by the brown spots to see it it speeds up on the next leaf. Did light LST to adjust binds and ensure they are not constricting the branches. Day 36 (late entry but this happened yesterday) Stats were all checked, VPD 1.0 with 73F/64%RH/33% IL Vent - Light measured ppfd at 410 highest, 400 center, and 390 at lowest Took control stats - 3 soil ph meter tests 5.35, 5.24, and 5.33 - truly concerned this is my issue, I went with hardwood ash from my grill. Measured 1/3rd cup and sprinkled it over he whole top being sure not to get any directly on the plant for fear of burn - used a gallon of de-chlorinated tap water at 8.06ph to water it in. Noticed side runoff but looked like less than a quart came out. This is where I realized I never change my drip tray out before I did this, so ppm test would be worthless so I skipped it. Day 37 Took stats this morning- VPD and lights mostly the same as yesterday, but with new growth the lights changed a little - ppfd at 410 highest, 400 center and 400 at lowest. took control pictures for each section again for comparison still showing more brown spots spreading over the oldest leaves. However the hardwood ash seems to have helped the ph. I took 3 soil meter readings this morning and got 6.27, 6.56, and 6.69 for avg of 6.506 Now I will watch to see if the feed nutes can get through and help stop the spread of the issue. Day 38 Checked ph meters - liquid meter needs slight calibration but since Im not using it today, I'll do it later. However my soil meter is still spot on. So I took 3 readings - 6.11, 6.09, and 6.1 for and avg of 6.1 - falling from yesterday by about .4 - also took a picture to show where I have been random in my soil checks Took test pictures of each quarter again. UL, UR, LL, and LR - each quarter got progressively worse still however the new growth seems to be doing pretty good still. - I dont want to take the older ones off until she shows a positive response to something. (only have these and the new leaves left.) So I plan to treat with feed dunk/de chlorinated tap again (not today, in a day or two) Did some slight adjusting of the branches to keep them the same height as the left side was lifting the binds out of the soil. ppfd now at 430 highest, 420 at center and 415 at lowest - VPD steady at 1.0 using 73F/64% RH/33%IL Vent Day 39 Did 3 morning readings of ph - 6.84, 6.78, and 6.85 for an avg of 6.823(higher than yesterday's avg by .7 and 2 days before by .3 so I will continue to monitor so that I can catch it before it runs up by flushing with lower ph feed or water) She is growing as noted by the increase in height now. close to 9 inches tall here and the 8 cola tops look fairly level so I didnt do any LST or bind adjustments. But measured ppfd and got 455, 440, 435, and 425 over the 4 new growth areas. VPD still consistent at 1.0 - 73 to 76F/ 63 to 64% RH/ 33% IL Vent Brown spots are still increasing and the leaves are beginning to taco as the last ones did. New growth doesnt seem to be showing any signs yet, so fingers crossed I got it with ph. Day 40 Checked stats - PH seems to have stabilized, 3 readings 6.81, 6.84, and 6.82 for an avg of 6.823 VPD at about 1.0 with temp at 74F/63% RH/ and 33% IL Vent. PPFD was at 455, 440, 430, and 435 over each cola in same order as pictures. She is still growing so I took pictures of that progression with a tape measure. Hardwood seems to have set now as none of the branches lifted by flexibility just new growth. Still relatively flat Calcium deficiency seems to be staying on the oldest leaves with the edges now crisping enough to begin to crack on bending attempts. The newest leaves are still not showing any signs of issues. I may defoliate them tomorrow so she can have time to recover before binding the branches again once she's above 12 inches tall. ---- correction ---- Now that I have examined the new growth on a larger scale in photos, I can see the start of the issue there now too! Q!%#$ Day 41 Im going to defoliate the bad leaves and see if it progresses any further in the next 2 days and re-evaluate in 3. It's been 5 days since the wood ash treatment and the last time she's been given water. However the soil is still fairly wet since that was so close to the dunk before, so I plan to feed with nutes in a day or two to replenish more of what washed and and hope the ph was the single issue fixing the rest. Removed the other set of binds today and took front/back pictures of the leaves I took off. They were surprisingly wet even though they look crispy. There's still plenty getting to these branches as they stand tall in my hand for close to 30 minutes before finally drooping over by being cutoff. Noticed red stems making me think it might need phosphorus in that next feed Also added a modified tomato plant support to the pot to get an idea of what kind of growth Im looking for next should she still want to grow on

Eccoci ragazzi, scusate il ritardo ma purtroppo sono molto impegnato in questo periodo, è faccio fatica a stare dietro ai diari.. Apparte questo questa blue dream sta crescendo davvero molto imforma e vigorosamente! Ha già sfumature bluastre ed un odore speziato molto particolare! Ho tolto un po di rami inferiori che non prendevano abbastanza luce, ed ho provato a fare qualche clone, se questa ragazza si rileva come sembra un ottima genetica potente, in questo modo avrò delle sorelle identiche in forza e vigore che mi daranno un erba eccezionale nei prossimi cicli? Speriamo che attecchiscano! Per il resto tutto ok, sto seguendo la scheda di Terra Aquatica e si stanno rivelando degli ottimi nutrienti! Grazie a tutti voi che mi seguite, spero vi piacciono le mie ragazze quanto piacciono a me! P. S come potete vedere dalle foto è in corso una massiccia infestazione di tripidi, e nonostante le molteplici trappole che ho messo dappertutto, non riesco a liberarmene, anzi stanno sempre riproducendo di più e sinceramente sono un po' preoccupato, spero che il raccolto non ne risenta troppo.. Ho pensato di mettere qualche coccinella come predatore naturale ma per ora non è il periodo e ne ho trovata solo una che nn risolve di certo la situazione.. Grazie ancora buone fumate a tutti! 420 🍀🙏💪😸🌱🌿🥦🧑‍🌾

Que pasa familia, vamos con la novena y última semana de floración de estas Drizl Pickl feminizadas de Seedstockers. Vamos al lío ,se trasplantaron en macetas de 7 litros definitivamente. El ph se controla en 6.0 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 24/20 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de floración puse 12h de luz, el foco está al 75% de potencia. Al final a salido todo bien ahora a pegar machete y a preparar el proceso de secado. Las flores salieron bien densas y tricomadas. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Der Wechsel in die Blüte ist offiziell vollzogen und ich muss sagen, die bisherige Entwicklung im Zelt ist wirklich beeindruckend. Schon direkt nach den Keimblättern sind die ersten Blätter extrem groß geworden und man konnte förmlich zusehen, wie die Pflanzen einen massiven Wachstumsschub hingelegt haben, sobald die Nährstoffdosierung erhöht wurde. Auch die Wurzeln entwickeln sich in einem extremen Tempo. Besonders spannend ist der direkte Vergleich der Steinwoll-Varianten im System. Bei der Versuchsreihe mit den kleinen, kurzen Würfeln sind die Wurzeln eher knapp gewachsen, haben sich dann aber in die Breite ausgedehnt. Die Variante mit der doppelten Menge Steinwolle für die doppelte Höhe hat zwar länger gebraucht, bis die Wurzeln unten sichtbar wurden, aber dafür kommen sie jetzt deutlich stärker und in einer viel höheren Vielzahl heraus. Ein großer Nachteil ist hier allerdings, dass die Steinwolle teilweise leider im Wasser steht. Das könnte theoretisch zu Fäule führen, was ich natürlich ganz genau im Auge behalte, auch wenn wir hoffen, dass alles gut geht. Lichttechnisch lief das Setup bisher mit 58 Watt, bestehend aus einer Sanlight Flex 2 mit 15 Watt und zwei Sanlight Stixx 50, die jeweils auf 40 Prozent Leistung liefen. Heute habe ich die eine Stixx direkt über dem Hydro-Test auf 60 Prozent hochgedreht, sodass wir jetzt bei insgesamt 70 Watt im Zelt sind. Beim Wachstum sorgt vor allem die Pineapple Express X Tangie für Überraschungen, da sie bereits das fünfte Noden-Paar ausbildet. Die Papaytons stehen aktuell bei etwa 3 bis 4 Noden. Sogar die Pineapple Express X Tangie Freak Edition hat noch mal einen respektablen Schub gemacht; sie ist zwar immer noch etwas kurz geraten, hat dafür aber einen bemerkenswert dicken Stamm entwickelt. Ich bin wirklich gespannt, wie sich die Pflanzen in den nächsten Tagen und Wochen transformieren und weiterentwickeln.

This strain was wicked fun to grow. Yield is amazing. One plant filled a 30 gallon tote once dried. WPM and leaf septoria was horrible this year but this strain seemed to do just fine. Very resilient. Grew short and stout like an indica. Covered in trich's and smells amazing.

Hi all👨‍🌾👋 Welcome to my another week update Hope everyone keeping well 🧑‍🌾 Week 6 Mar 8 - Mar 14 It was another easy and exciting week. Everything going absolutely great. Both girls stretched nicely despite selective defoliation on Mar 9. They bounced back almost immediately. Started adjusting mixtures towards removing fish mix completely and replacing with Bio grow. In coming week will adding bio bloom and top max to mixture. There was 2 waterings of 3ltr on Mar 9 + last foliar feeding and second on Mar 13 and it was first large feeding 6 ltr beetwen both. Surprisingly only a few drops of runoff. Watering in stages of approx. 500ml every 20-30min. Decided to not install a scrog this time as want to have opportunity to apply more old school methods of training and to be able to remove/rotate girls easily. Let's see if this will pay me off. So far girls enjoying my care very much 😁🧑‍🌾 Thank you very much for all your likes, follows and comments. 🙏💚❤️💜 Wishing you all amazing rest of the week✨🍀 Peace and love brothers and sisters 👨‍🌾✌️💚 Stay tuned for new week update soon Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/TROPICANA-COOKIES-AUTO https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

WEEK 5 (DAY29-35) The Runtz are thriving so far. Both plants have developed eight evenly spaced shoots, and now I’m waiting for the flowering to begin. Additionally, I have trained both plants with hooks to create a beautiful canopy. I’m still excited and hope they continue to grow as well as they have so far.

7 months after planting her from seed the day is finally here. A little earlier than I would of liked due to insects (crickets/grasshoppers eating buds) but she's thereabouts finished. Probably lost 1/3 of buds from the chewing insects but still a big yield and my drying room is full 😊 She survived two rainy season's and some serious wind from a tropical depression back in September. I have kept this grow completely organic so no pesticide or chemical fertilizers used. Apart from heavily amending the soil at the start I mostly fed her crabmeal once a month and seaweed and molasses in most waterings. A few of those waterings were diluted with my urine 😆👌 NPK right!? Why not.. then at the end I added a cultured pro biotic yogurt to the soil 2 days before I harvested. (Tip from a fellow grower @med_in_tropic - thanks bro) Not sure if it made any difference as I cannot compare with another plant but, the plant starting smelling like lemon furniture polish.. like a lemon scent with a fuel undertone. Almost menthol like 🤷‍♂️.. smells amazing. Me and my wife drank tea from the trimming and the citrusy flavour came though into the tea which was nice. Weather wise the temperature is down now to around 16c at night with RH around 50% so the buds should dry much slower than the last harvest so I should get a better flavour profile. Smoke report to follow after she has been in a jar for a week or so.. I did try a bud sample a few weeks back and the taste then was already pleasant so for sure this will be fire... 🔥 Thanks for all the kind comments, this was my first ever grow start to finish. Already looking forward to next season 😁
