Week 3: Adapting and Thriving Transplanting to Larger Pots This week, I transplanted the plants into 11-liter fabric pots filled with Plagron coco coir mixed with perlite (70/30). The small pots were already root-bound. It's often said that a plant will stop growing when the taproot reaches the bottom of the pot. Personally, I think this is nonsense, but we'll see. This transplant provides them with more space for root development and better aeration, promoting healthier growth. Growth Observations The plants are showing significant growth, with vibrant green leaves and sturdy stems. The increased light exposure from the greenhouse setup is clearly benefiting them. Their resilience is impressive, and they appear to be adapting well to their environment. Feeding and Watering As the coco mix dries out, I am preparing for their next feeding. Following the Terra Aquatica Tripart feeding chart, I have increased the nutrient solution to an EC of 1.0 mS/cm. This should provide them with the necessary nutrients without the risk of nutrient burn, especially for autoflowering strains. I will not go higher than this concentration to ensure their safety. Improved Weather Conditions The weather has improved significantly, with very little rain and temperatures ranging between 19°C and 22°C for the next few days. This stable weather is ideal for the plants, providing them with consistent conditions to continue their healthy growth. Daily Care Routine My daily routine includes checking the plants in the morning and evening, adjusting the greenhouse openings as needed, and monitoring the moisture level of the coco mix. This consistent care helps me stay on top of any changes and address them promptly. Looking Forward As we progress into the third week, I am excited to see how the plants continue to develop in their new, larger pots with the adjusted nutrient levels. The combination of a controlled environment, balanced nutrition, and diligent care is setting a strong foundation for their growth. Update on 11.06.2024 Today, I fed my plants for the second time this week. During this feeding, I adjusted the nutrient amount for the vegetative phase (2/3 of the recommended amount from Terra Aquatica): CalMag: 2 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.45 mS/cm) Grow: 1.2 ml/l Bloom: 0.8 ml/l Micro: 0.4 ml/l EC: 1,166 ms/cm (536 ppm PPM-500/TDM) PH: 5,83 The plants were watered with approximately 20% drain. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this journey.

This is probably week 9/10 actually. It’s been busy with non plant related stuff.. Babies moved tho, 1x1x2 growing tent with 600w hps. Gonna put a few cold white tornados next to it because the internet told me to🤓 9/9 plants are confirmed female. Found a bag seed of lemon haze that’s sprouted too, and now a week later it has the biggest leaves of m all. It’s on the flower schedule so prolly won’t get to big, still funny to see! Another bag seed that has been withering away on a windowsill somewhere joined us too! so it’s a full house atm with 11 different little ladies! Auto OG smells super nice, little chemical and lemony. It’s small but looks amazing, another week maybe 2? Had 2 gorillas in a pot together during veg and ripping the roots apart really set m back a little bit, they look a little light and are a lot smaller. Curious what’s still coming!!

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

Well, I've almost made it to the finish line. Finally brought down the two KTs. Was A LOT more work than I anticipated and the magic wore off quickly! After hours and hours of trimming and some easy drying at about 73 F and 63 RH. About 8 days for the KTs, then another trim and jarred them up. Scale was acting up a bit but my count is 10.4 ounces dry between 2 plants. Happy with the yield. Am currently a little concerned that it doesn't smell like much. Didn't over dry, didn't quickly dry. In jars the RH is showing 61 or 62. Really hoping some individual character comes back to them! Will return to update smoke report. OG and Blueberry still drying.

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos, y también, a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾 esta temporada cultivando leyendas sativas... todo por la causa! Hoy, sin compasión, he cometido un crimen... Hace unas horas, mirando mi jardín de la alegría, descubrí con asombro un polizón, un intruso libidinoso, un macho alfa en todo su esplendor, un invertido agazapado en la esquina. Ha esperado 85 días para mostrar su verdadera cara, mis hembras todavía adolescentes corrían peligro, este sátiro, el gran fornicador disfrazado, el zorro en el gallinero, ha estado esperando su oportunidad, para dejar, sin consentimiento, su polen pervertido en mis chicas, todavía inocentes y puras. Ah! rabia incontenible de ver a este macho infiltrado y traidor, lascivo conspirador inesperado, obsceno personaje al que inmediatamente desterré de la carpa de cultivo, era de noche, durmió al relente, solo, como un apestado, lejos de quien creyó ser su familia, había roto la Regla Sagrada con deshonesta lujuria: "Este jardín no es lugar para machos", la ley de esta carpa de cultivo es clara, quien la quebrante será ejecutado con mucho dolor y sus restos serán esparcidos en el Mulch de mis plantas hembra. Al amanecer, delante de la carpa de cultivo profanada, convoqué al verdugo más desalmado, no le pedí misericordia, pregunté al reo por su último deseo, quiso fumar un porro de marihuana orgánica, yo fumé también, después me senté, se escucharon voces pidiendo clemencia, el verdugo hizo su trabajo magníficamente, el gran semental conspirador sufrió mucho mientras sus ramas eran separadas del tronco y arrojadas al suelo con bárbaro desdén. 😈 El lugar vacío dejado en la carpa de cultivo fue inmediatamente ocupado por 3M ▼ La gitanilla, una planta que va dar mucho que hablar y que abandona su carpa casera uniéndose al resto de las hembras, viene con una maceta de 7L, pero está dispuesta a competir al máximo nivel con su hermana y compañeras cultivadas en macetas de 11L… a jugar. Ahora también mi pequeña carpa casera queda en exclusiva para las dos plantas hermanas y auto florecientes que estoy cultivando esta temporada. Hoy he ajusticiado a un vicioso macho y he disfrutado mucho contándolo… me voy a hacer otro porro! Hasta la próxima... SALUDOS A TODOS!! ================================= Info de la cepa Durban Poison: https://www.marijuana-seeds.nl/durban-poison-seeds "Una planta sativa pura que nunca ha sido hibridada..." MSNL Seeds - Genética: Variedad africana original x Skunk holandesa - Sativa pura: 100% - Tiempo de Floración - 8-10 Semanas - Rendimiento masivo: hasta 600 g/m² - THC Alto - Hasta 20% ==============

This particular one requires a fair bit of attention with defol but certainly worth the effort, she’s dripping with resin already. Added an extra fan to keep air moving over and humidity down . Same same next week

Having a hard time deciding when to chop her..my second critical..Milky trichomes but not a single amber on the calyxes…the buds have definitely gone through a burst..becoming thicker and dense..some buds falling over so I tied the base with string for support. This week so many white pistils have popped out and sites like reddit or roll it up are telling me some strains have white hairs up until harvest while others claim more time is needed. I think I can wait one more week but after that I’m over it!

Start of week 6! Week 5 went well, the girls are all very sticky and smell incredible! The super lemon haze continues to need extra feeding, she's a hungry lady! Both blueberry plants are packing on a lot of weight as the branches are bending and twisting, I tried them up to give them extra support.
