The Mars Hydro FC-E1500, the Inkbird dehumidifier, and the auto-draining pot stands have all arrived this week. I will set up the pest control, nutrients, and the Exhale CO2 bag when I return from Italy. I will be leaving for 9 days next week, and I must admit, it makes me quite nervous to leave the house for a trip. However, I have tested the automation system, and it should take care of the light cycle and feeding/watering remotely. It is surprising to see that the "normal" leaves are already twice the size of the round cotyledons (or "seed leaves") after just 4 days. This indicates that my autoflowering plants have already entered the vegetative growth stage. It's a positive sign that the autoflowering genetics are taking effect and the plants are progressing rapidly, even at this early stage. The DLI (Daily Light Integral) of 18.6, which I have set, is ideal for supporting this quick transition. Providing sufficient light intensity and duration during the vegetative stage is crucial for autoflowering strains as it fuels their accelerated growth and development. I have been watching the size and appearance of the leaves to track the plants' progress. Maintaining the optimal environmental conditions I have been going for including an 18/6 photoperiod, a temperature range of 24-28°C, and a relative humidity (RH) of 55-70%, which should theoretcially enable my autoflowers to continue thriving in the vegetative stage. The fact that my plants have reached this milestone within the first 3 days is a promising indication of a fast and productive growth cycle.

Bobbing along, no vertical growth this week. A little more leaf tip nutrient damage so I diluted the nutrient water down. A few brown pistils, say 5 %, if I was a betting man I'd say 3 weeks till harvest. Expect my crystal ball prediction will be well off the mark!

Swapped out a light that’s slightly too big for my tent but squeezed it in with minor cuts to the tent. Probably should’ve done it sooner. Can only run the light at 50% or below.

Last week ahead. Next time will cut nitrogen earlier. These ice cream cakes did not like it at this level. Also had a little dripper clog and mokums tulip got a little burnt. At these high ec levels they are super sensitive to drybacks.

4/8 - They are doing great. PPFD at 800. Debating if I want to do CO2 this grow, because I could easily get 1000 PPFD out of this light. That means adding a dehumidifier to keep a sealed environment, but don't think there's enough of a cost benefit. Might just add more far red at lights on and lights off to try and get a little more vegetative stretch before I switch over to 12/12. Clock is ticking. Mother-in-law shows up 6/15, and I'll want it chopped by then. 4/8 - on further calculation, I'm switching to flower today. Never switched this early before, but we'll see how it goes, eh? 4/9 - prepping for vacation. Bought new 10 gal Roughneck storage container, mixed new nute mix 2:1:2. EC 1.40 with 0.3 tap water. 11ml of pH down to get PH from 6.4 to 5.8. Ditching the auto fill. Too high risk for flooding without flare fittings. Don't trust cheap-ass quick connect push fittings. 4/10 - turned off "seedling vpd mode" which kept humidity artificially high. Turned on 2nd bank of LED lights, so system is pulling about 370W with lights on, still significantly dimmed down. Turned on light cooling circ fan, which is a sealed aluminum labyrinth tied to two 4"vents. Although, almost all the heat this lamp generates is from radiation, not thermal loss of the LEDs, so the heat sink is barely warm. Lights up to 16" over canopy to allow growth while on vacation. Ppfd at canopy 800. Room temp 81, humidity 73. Auto water time is 30 sec per pot.

I transferred it to a half-gallon pot and I mixed the organic fertilizer with the soil.

Week 8 Here came fall. End of last week plant seemed hungry, the fade wasn't progressing as supposed so I gave her two nutes round with only water round in between them. I used bottled feeding: biobizz biobloom + top max (2ml each per liter), ghe ripen (2ml per liter), solved micronutrients and calmag (not mixed, one time one the next the other, 1-0,5 ml per lt). Solution EC was about 1,4, starting with 0,3 tap water. She reacted well to the feeding in my opinion. now the fade is progressing more naturally. I did observe that the plant under the less powerful COBS in the same tent are doing better then the ones under the sp250 wich has a higher par output, so I raised the light to 45-50cm from canopy. This had a positive effect on the plants imho. I'll stay a little bit further from the beginning in my next grow. I took a sample under the microscope to take some tricho pictures, they look beautifully clouded but the buds still has to ripen some 50% more. Based on that I think we are arriving to an end in 10-15 days max. Happy bottanic guys

Sono contento e difficilmente sono contento. Cinque piante identiche e sembra di fumare la vera gorilla glue con note dolci quasi a ricordare delle caramelle. Una pianta invece ricorda di più la zkittlez. Davvero contento di aver scelto questa casa 😊

The "Fast" strains are getting super close, I think they'll be finished by week 8..calmag issues came up the minute we ran out, we got some more today and gave them all a good dose but we're cutting all nutrients after today, they'll get water only until harvest (color be damned lol)..The White Widow fast can eat a ton but the Amnesia fast seem very intolerant to even light nutrients...the separate feeding regiments in the same tent hasn't been fun but I'm glad its now behind us..We have a Chemdawg#4 in the same area but she appears to be weeks behind the "Fast" strains..We're excited for this harvest, our personal supply is getting dangerously low. again lol...we have several White Widow Fast clones we may flower immediately after these, or give away to family, smoke quality will be the determining factor...The SP-3000 is the best light of its size we own, this is the 3rd complete grow and we couldn't be happier with how dense ,tight and long the buds form..,strains we've grown in the past under CMH/HID (315watt) do so much better under the Marshydro,... its the only tent we have that we don't worry about getting complete coverage corner to corner, absolute best bang for buck imo... thanks as always for dropping by, we'll be sure to update if anything crazy happens..Happy harvests everyone!! ❤️💡🌱😽💨 ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total!)

at the start of the week i was dealimg with bugs.. i gor rid of them with tje sesame and cinnamon.. cinnamon WILL burn your leaves if you leave too much on; they turn black and die... that being said im a sadist, so i then gave them a drink of stewed cucumber skins... they havent died.. ps.. forgot i gave them a distilled water feed at 2.3 early on in the week.. thought it wasn't happy. shall revert to 2 after a late week half strength 1/4 top 3/4 bottom feed at a slightly higher ph for the root dem Buds started to get legit this week..starting to get a frosty look now but decided to trim some of the shoddy bud sites regardless of being 20 days into flowering.. im away for a week. hopefully the setup will cope.. lights set to allow for movement.. fans will be on minimal.. and removed all other bug attracting tings. its been fun

Hallo meine Pflanzen Freunde. Wieder ist eine Woche rum, die Pflanzen sind aus der Vorblüte und sind jetzt in der Vollblüte. Ich muss sagen das bei dieser Sorte die Vorblüte sehr früh schon eingesetzt hat. Bei diesem strain geht alles Schlag auf Schlag. Dieser strain kann es gar nicht abwarten dicke schmackhafte buds zu produzieren, was mich glücklich stimmt. Mit der Luftfeuchtigkeit bin ich nicht ganz zufrieden sie könnte um 20% höher sein. Ich werde mir was einfallen lassen damit ich diese in Zukunft besser kontrollieren kann, ansonsten bin ich mit der Entwicklung zufrieden. Viele Verzweigungen hat dieser Phäno nicht aber ich glaube die Blütenstände die sie hat werden monströs. Wir werden sehen wo uns die Blütezeit schicken wird. Ich persönlich hätte mir ein paar Verästelungen gewünscht, man könnte diese Dame nicht einmal richtig Trainieren mit der LST Methode weil es nix zu trainieren gibt.☹️ Die Noiden Abstände sind umso besser, was nützt mir das wenn die Blüten direkt am Hauptstamm wachsen, nun man kann nicht immer alles haben und man sollte das beste draus machen was einen die Natur gibt. Deshalb wollen wir nicht soviel meckern und mit dem zufrieden sein was wir haben.✌️🏼 Das war es erstmal von dieser Woche, vielen Dank das du uns besucht hast und ein Like da gelassen hast. Schau gerne bei meinen anderen Büchern vorbei es gibt einiges zu sehen. Diese Pflanzen werden mit einem organischen Dünger von S&R Organics gedüngt.
