This week was no less stressful, but the previous week prepared us. More and more snow turns white. The microscope is ready. Nutrient solution at the maximum recommended parameters. But there is a problem with the tips of the leaves, they turn yellow first and then dry up and turn brown. I think this is the consequence of the maximum ppm. direct sunlight, a running giant fan at a distance of 20 cm, and an unstable ph lvl. There were significant changes in temperature from 16 at night to 31 during the day. The funnest is when it rains after a hot day. and they turn off the electricity at night. A humid environment of 65-70% without a fan is my nightmare in reality. So a piece of cardboard and energetic hand movements created the wind and the impression that I crazy But there are often good times, when the temperature is 26-27 degrees and the humidity is 45% without a humidifier. The girls smell amazing 😎

This has been a dream to grow the only reason I marked it as neutral and not easy because of it being such a flowery bub.So you just had to keep an eye on the humidity apart from that she stood up to everything even when I was starving her from Calmag 😂🤷 Can't wait to be back with the smoke report

For fweek 11 she’s looking great with more and more ripening of the buds getting fatter every day and insane thrichome production she’s quite small build size because of the lowerlevel of scrog bit her width makes up for in height

Greetings my dear Jungletamers, So a major surprise came when @MarsHydroLED contacted us and asked if would like to try out their new SP 3000 light. Being a fan of Mars Hydro for years, we of course accepted their offer. We are totally in love with this light. I was when I saw it in another grower's setup and was in awe of its output and results. So with much pride and thankfulness for the presents the Universe bestowed on us, in the form of MarsHydroLEDS offer and the bountiful harvest of the last grow, (which I am thoroughly enjoying btw, such a great weed to have grown ourselves) we start out on a new adventure that we can't wait to share with you. With many lessons learned from the previous grow, a mighty producing strain in the form of Expert Seeds Gorilla Glue #4, a.k.a Expert Gorilla's and a tweaked super soil mixture, we are setting out to hopefully get over a gram per watt, preferably 1.5. The Setup A 4.5 (140 cm) x 2(70) x 6.2 (200) grow tent, giving me a .98 m2 workspace. This space is customized to my needs. A standing fan will provide airflow through the whole grow, a top fan will help guide cooler air past my lights onto the grow. 3 56 ltr pots will be the home for the plants when they are 2 weeks old, up to then in smaller jars. The Light The leading role and star of the show will be played by the Mars Hydro SP-3000, so kindly provided by MarsHydroLED, which we will test and review here and I might say, endorse. I'm very careful with who I endorse and support these days, but a company with that many wins in design, I'm talking ever since their first range came out in 2009 these guys have been raising the bar for the whole industry, I did not hesitate to support this leading brand. If you want to compete with these guys, you better bring some quality AND affordable pricing. Why do I endorse the SP-3000 without ANY hesitation? It is seriously THE BEST light on the market in this price range and size group. It has an enormously effective output in U/Mol and with 30% less energy waste comparing to older LED lights. Prove me wrong! And with a company holding a considerable market share selling thousands of units every month, competing on price and quality, one would think that customer service would suffer. Of course, also Mars Hydro is not perfect, but check the sheer amount of people that not only praise the light but also the service received, should the light somehow not perform up to par. It is this dedication to their customer base that made this company have a fanbase... Yes, a fanbase with a website and a wiki. So if you are looking to buy new lights, check out the END OF SUMMER OFFER at the Mars-Hydro Global Store on Aliexpress: https://marshydroled.aliexpress.com/ 👈 Check their offers but also their score, they ship from a warehouse near you so you don't have the extra import fees!! Cut out the middleman and have a deal on these lights!! At the moment I write this in August 2021, the lights are 408,20 euro when sent from Germany to the rest of Europe, that's 40 euro cheaper than the other Mars outlets, BUT EVEN 60 euros cheaper than ordering at a grow store!! The Strain: Experts Seeds - Expert Gorilla feminized regular. Don’t let the name fool you because Expert Gorilla is suitable for growers of any skill level. However, you do need to be an experienced smoker because Expert Gorilla is one of the most potent strains on the market. Lineage: Chem Sis x Chocolate Diesel x Sour Dubb Popularity: Extremely Popular Flavor/Aroma Profile: Chocolate, Earthy, Fuel Yield: 400 g/m2 Stress Tolerance: High resistance to disease Potency: 24% THC Flowering time: 58 - 63 days The Soil: Those who saw my Monstercropped Gelato #33 grow (you should see it if you didn't, I'm so proud of that grow), know about my super soil and organic nutrients/ permaculture tea combo that starred in my previous diary. Because of the great results, we are going to use the same recipe, adjusted some more with some new ingredients that will complete the mix and give an even more sustained super soil buffer. 20% Atami Bi-grow (very similar to ocean forest) 20% Atami worm castings 20% Atami Coco Coir 10% Hydrocorn 10% Peat powder 1 cup Fossil seaweed chalk 1 cup bonemeal 1 cup bloodmeal 1 cup Microlife 3-4 teaspoons of epsom salt 3 cups of activated biochar (activated with our own permaculture tea) I just made layers, starting with hydro corn on the bottom to aid airflow/run-off. On this I started layering the coco coir, Bi-grow, peat, castings, and amendments in a way that the more mature the plants get, the more phosphorous and less nitrogen they will find. Every time I made three layers, I would mix them by hand. This way we simulate natural soil, which consists of humic layers, composting plant waste, fungal and microbial life, and nutrients from fossilized sources. The Nutrients I will start with just adding 6.4 PH water, although this soil should buffer ph itself and regulate, after 4 weeks, I'll slowly be adding: - Biobizz Grow - Plagron Alga Grow - Biobizz CalMag - Biobizz Flower - Plagron Alga Flower - Biobizz Topmax - Melasses The Tea Some of you might remember the permaculture tea from my previous grow, I have a short video in my harvest page showing how we make it), it will star again in this grow. - (Rain)water - Comfrey (whole plants) - Dandelion leaves - Roots and leaves from the earlier grow - Minor periwinkle (Finca minor) is a plant we have in our garden, it contains an alkaloid that is associated with increased brain function but also is a light toxin for wee beasties and other unwanted guests like gnats (who hate it). - When flowering I add some wood ash to this mix Thank you for checking in on one of my grows again! Thanks for all the love on my previous grow, check it out if you haven't seen it!! Hug Bud

Ya estamos en proceso de formación de la flor. Se ven algunas más grandes que otras. Pero a grandes rasgos estan muy parejas. Me preocupa un poco la cercanía a la luz, dado que estoy en 15cm y cualquier estirón extra, sería una complicación. Vamos a ir viendo como se dan las cosas, pero al momento, no me puedo quejar. Las plantas se ven bien y saludables. Día 24. Se empieza a notar el engorde. Esperando a que aparezcan las hojas de azúcar, que ya se empiezan a visibilizar las primeras. Voy a ver si puedo conseguir overdrive de advanced para cuando se terminen de formar las flores. Entre tanto solamente tuve un inconveniente de pérdida de agua por una manguera que moví al atar las plantas, pero ya repuse la solución perdida y todo va encaminado. No sé si van a tardar las 6 semanas que dice el catálogo, pero cuanto mucho serán 8. Seguiré actualizando. Día 26. Las flores empiezan a yomar su forma voluminosa. Estoy en duda sobre si agregar PK la semana próxima o la otra. Quizá empiece a usarlo en el próximo depósito. No quiero tampoco sobrepasarlas y agregar el producto antes porque tengo entendido que puede ser contraproducente. De todos modos me quedan dos días para el cambio de solución, así que voy a ver cuando termine la semana. Entre tanto, ya empiezan las emociones. Día 28. Hice ina poda de hojas bien fuerte. Ya de esa forma dejo expuesto a la luz todo lo que tiene que terminar de engordar y de paso me esquivo posibles problemas de humedad. Al final voy a usar el PK de greenhouse que tengo, pero voy a subir la dosis. Mañana se viene el cambio de solución, para lo que sería la ante última semana en teoría. Vamos a ver como evoluciona, porque los cambios son muy abruptos de una semana a la otra. Y llegado el momento miraré los tricomas, como para ir haciéndome a la idea.

The purple Lemonade despite a very beautiful structure is a little worrying us because the flowers are swelling very slowly. We are afraid that they will remain small but it seems they are getting bigger so we wait a little longer to express ourselves even if the painta seems in excellent health. Bloom is slow.

There isn't much more to say about this fantastic strain. Hardy, easy to clone, quick to flower and absolutely delicious in every respect. It resists well to high temperatures, "accidental" over fertilization, and recovers soon after a period of drought. Easy and fast.

A-Week 9-(Day 67) B&C-Week 9-(Day 63) A- Loving life, she is fattening up, easily 3-4 inch round buds, about 8-12 inches long circling the plant. Lots of little nugs filling in the middle 🤩Tricomes are multiplying daily, still almost 50% clear, 40% milky, and 10% amber or so. Couple of weeks left, gotta keep air flow high and RH low with those dense buds 😎💨 B- After looking back on last weeks photos, she has really started to thicken up. She has big calyxes, and are stacking nicely. Tops on tops for this one. Her LST and topping created a very dense canopy, similar to A, but B stretched a little more. C-Done her stretching, she is now focusing on bud building. She is stacking nicely, and I said it last week, I’m pretty sure she will be the biggest producer if she fills in as thick as her sisters are 👀💥 No issues, no pests, not even Gnats. A tip I got from WTTGT, Woooooooooh! Was to store your soil/medium near the exhaust of your tent so it always has dry warm air blowing on it. I have not had any issues with pests since doing this before starting this run, and then adding another to the mix mid-run(my GG#4) has had no issues. The 975 ppm seems to be their sweet spot, I don’t want to push it as it has been almost uneventful with regards to issues or deficiencies. I’m very happy with the Indo nutrients line, and the addition of the Sensi CalMag xtra together have made this run super easy, considering Autoflowers are far more finicky than photo periods. The differences between each are drastic, topping and LST can be real space savers for those with small gardens, but clearly the un-topped, un-trained pheno is thriving and will produce fairly well 🌱😎💨 Happy Gardening All 👩‍🌾

261 g nass ist für die Umstände total in Ordnung. Der Schädlingsbefall hat sie in der Vegi ordentlich gestört und eigentlich sollten es ja zwei Pflanzen sein. Dazu war das Licht einfach viel zu stark eingestellt und hat sie zusätzlich gestresst. Jetzt wird erstmal getrocknet in DryFerms die ich noch da hatte. Trocken 80 g, jetzt fehlt noch das Curing.

12. April Eine weitere Woche beginnt und es sind noch Babys. Allerdings hat das gailen aufgehört und sie wirken stabiler. Das growdiary wird um ein weiteres Projekt erweitert: Toleranzpause. Ich habe gemerkt dass mich der Konsum von Cannabis aktuell gerade sehr in meinem Sein aufhält! Daher heute day one: thc wurde durch cbd ersetzt. Ziel ist es bis zum Ende der Ernte nüchtern zu bleiben! Ich werde ehrlich sein falls ich Rückfälle habe. Rückfälle haben ist kein scheitern, aufgeben schon! Update: es ist mittlerweile Abends und so langsam nervt mich diese Entscheidung. CBD schafft gute Abhilfe. Ich weiß das die ersten drei Tage und vor allem Nächte hart sind. 13. April Einen wunderschönen guten Morgen: Erster Tag, erste Nacht rum. Leider nur semierfolgreich. Ich habe den ganzen Tag meine zu erwartende Laune ausgehalten und bin nüchtern geblieben. Schlaf war wie zu erwarten eine große Herausforderung. Um 1:00 morgens habe ich dann etwas frustriert über den Schlafmangel/ bzw. Den Mabgel an Ruhe im Kopf mir 0,1gr Orion in den Vater gepackt und 2x gezogen. Hab mich danach echt schwach gefühlt. Aber das ist Teil des Prozesses und die Optimierung geht weiter. Der Tag wurde daher grob überschlagen nur mit 5% des sonst täglichen Konsums gedeckt. Quote ist gut, allerdings war es nicht das vereinbarte ziel. Indemfall heute auf ein neues
