Beginning of week... She is doing her thing.. Slowly but surely lol.. Healthy as far as I can tell.. Maybe the reused coco is too reused? Idk. There is a bit of coco/perlite from my first grow in there lol.. Some others too.. But she is still truckin along.. Went up on the Armor Si (Silica) and a little on the FloraGro.. She does look like she is gonna beginning flowering very soon tho.. Pistils are forming slowly.. Much like the rest of this grow.. But she is starting.. I'm not going to start counting flower till I actually see that she is flowering.. Stretching and all.. That's how I like to count flower.. Always seems to line up perfectly when you count flower that way.. Even with photoperiods.. Not from the 12/12 flip because there is still 2 weeks of transition. Anyways.. Another week in the making... Next day... So my Mars Hydro is crapping out. I have to drop it down to 20 inches from the canopy and run it at 75%.. So pissed.. It glows when it is powered off and still plugged in.. And if I turn it on while the power is set to 100%.. It just blinks until I turn it down to 75%.. I can have it set to 75% and it will turn on like normal.. But I need to use 100% power.. And Mars Hydro sucks with responding to emails apparently.. I'm gonna have to buy a new one and return this POS.. Then hopefully buy a new stronger light for my 2x2.. I am so pissed.. Mars Hydro sucks.. The build is amazing.. The components are awesome when they are not flawed.. But damn this is the 3rd light to crap out on me in 2 years.. I do nothing but run them 18/6 or 12/12.. Run 1 fan on top at the driver and heatsink and 1 under toward the diodes.. Nothing different.. I think I'm gonna buy the Wakyme J-2000.. It comes with 2 fans blowing on the heatsink.. Honestly, noise is not an issue to me.. Heat is.. I sleep with all my fans running already lol.. Its actually hard to sleep without them now hahah.. But yeah. It has a Meanwell driver.. Samsung diodes.. Dimmer.. And the fans.. I think it's my best bet at this point.. Fuck Mars Hydro.. They had 3 chances with me.. My Sunraise 1000 (blurple) is like 4 years old and still running strong.. Smh.. Mars Hydro is crap. How did they even get so popular??? I'm sure more people will realize how crappy they really are.. No name brand everything.. Runs hot as ass.. Craps out after 3 - 4 months.. So so pissed... Almost mid week.. I went ahead and pulled a couple branches down a bit.. The canopy is perfectly even.. It looks AwEsOmE! Lol Mid week.. Well, she seems to be doing a bit better than before, I'd say. Normally, my previous autos would be flowering and probably almost finished stretching by now.. Live and learn.. I hope all the Zkittlez Autoflower seeds aren't like this.. And hopefully this strain turns out pretty dank to be wasting a few extra weeks on growth but not getting much growth at the same time.. And I hope harvest doesn't come quicker than the swelling of the calyxes.. But shit happens.. I have Mars Hydro sending me a new driver/dimmer. I sure hope it's just "plug-in" because if I'm going to take this light apart, I'm just going to go with the Meanwell HLG-240H-54B.. From what I was told from LEDSupplier dot com.. The 240W would be better due to the different current. We are still trying to figure out if the dimmer is 0-10V to see if I can just keep using the Mars Hydro dimmer along with the MeanWell HLG-240H-54B.. That would be cool.. Sorry but Mars Hydro sucks.. I bet running a different driver would help alot of issues.. Maybe even run cooler. Anyways.. About the plant lol.. She is doing great.. The stiples are still showing some weird colors on the tips.. Doesn't seem like an issue.. Some plants have the stems change colors.. Some have pistils change colors.. Some have leaves change colors.. Maybe that is just in her genetics.. The pics that ILGM shows, it should be a pretty colorful strain.. Guess we shall see! But she is happy and healthy.. I think I'm going to stop using Hydroguard next week.. Just doesn't seem like it's doing much of anything.. I really only bought it to fight root rot when I attempt DWC which I am going to attempt again very soon.. Maybe after this grow... We shall see... Almost end of week.. Went ahead and defoliated/lollipopped a bit. She was getting too bunched together.. She is nice and opened up now.. 2 side branches stayed pretty short.. Not sure what that is all about.. Flowers are slowly forming at this point. Next week will be week 1 of flower and stretching should begin! She is still getting good light even with the power only being at 75%.. Just have it down lower.. Which I could get away with till harvest.. But fuck that. I ordered a new Mars Hydro TS 1000.. And Mars Hydro is also sending me a new driver/dimmer box to replace the old one.. Going to return the light and I still want to replace the stock driver with the MeanWell.. Trying to get more professional opinions before I attempt that tho.. So far, I am hearing to get the HLG-240H-54B.. The 150H (150W) doesnt have the correct current so I'd have to go with the 240H (240W) due to the output current and voltage to match correctly. Can't wait to try it out! End of week.. So I got a new Mars Hydro TS 1000 in.. It comes with a Moso driver instead of the old Juson driver.. Hmm.. Ok.. Seems to not heat up as much.. The diodes still get hot, but the lack of the driver heat should help keep things cool.. Nice... I am able to raise the light back up and run her at 100% power.. I went ahead and tied the branches down a little more.. There are 2 that are still staying a little short.. But I think it's the way I started the whole LST process.. I should have tied down a different 90° angle instead of the angle I used.. But live and learn.. Wont use that way again lol.. Other than that, the flowers are forming nicely.. Happy happy happy.. Next week will begin flower! Niceeee.. On to the next!!!...

Not much for this week to report. I was hoping to harvest it in 7-8 weeks of flowering but I dont see it happening. By the look of it in the end of 6th flowering week it will need 3 or more weeks. Almost all pistils are still white but the buds are getting fatter so will be worth the wait.

Hola amigos! Buenos humos a todos! 🌊🤙 La semana anterior no hice actualización, pero he estado haciendo lavado de raíz casi en todas las plantas. La humedad acá es todo un reto, 3 ventiladores, 1 deshumidificador y 1 extractor no es suficiente para 1.5m2. No hay forma de bajar del 70%. Hasta arroz he puesto en la base de las macetas. He tenido nuevamente problemas con botrytis y tuve que cortar algunas colas o parte de ellas. Esto es lo peor que puede pasar ya en la última semana. También tuve otro problema, pues a pesar de nunca haber tenido un macho en casa, ni haber detectado alguna hermafrodita, una de las AK47 apareció polinizada y está echando semillas (ya al final de la floración) . Tuve que cortar varias ramas y flores para detener esa producción y así la planta termine de madurar. No sé cómo irá a quedar esa marihuana con ese problema, pero por el tiempo que queda, no creo que termine de formar por completo las semillas. Otra opción pudo ser estrés por exceso de PK o por exceso de calor (más de 27C). Leí que esta sepa es propensa a crear flores macho por estas causas. Todo lo demás anda bien. Les dejo unas pocas fotos y un video rápido. Hoy estoy limpiando un poco y esta un poco desordenado.

On Day 61 from seed my 5Gal feed went empty (Day 5 in flower) so I repeated the same exact feed without the CANNAZYM & activated the autopot system on day 62. By Day 64FS aka Day 8 in flower my reservoir went empty again so I repeated the exact previous feeding without Cannazym and activate the system the next day (Day9F)

Buenas, las plantas ya pasaron la fase de pre-floración, justo a los 21 días le hice la última defoliación. He intentado dejarle solo un par de nudos o tres, por arriba, estilo lollipopping, está técnica de poda agresiva, está mas vista en América, no tanto por aquí, por España. Estaremos atento a ver como le va esta poda a este cultivo🙌 Le aumenté la base de fertilizante, ya que en esta fase, la planta necesita más alimento, para cambiar su metabolismo, para florecer en óptimas condiciones. Ahora comienza el engorde de la flor, espero veros de nuevo la semana que viene por aquí😊 Un saludo y buenos humos!

Looks like a lot of top sights. Afraid stretching too much. Hopefully it fills in.

I plan to grow the best 2 in hydro and the best 2 in soil On 40% power Big Thank you to Medicgrow for the opportunity to use the LED - I am under no pressure or obligation to promote this item , I will give you my honest opinion, and we will see the results , it’s actually a bit bigger than imagined , first test with the lux meter showed awesome spread and distribution, I have one thing that I didn’t understand, using the hangers , you need a degree in engineering to understand , I looked , I pondered, I scratched my head a little smoked a joint , still couldn’t comprehend,so I used 6 ratchets = 🤪 All of them are cuttings I took from a naughty strawberry cheesecake Ps The big green power supply there’s nothing to do with the medicgrow fold 6 ,( the power supply is in the middle )it’s from another light that I just can’t be bothered to move because I’ve got nowhere to put it Wednesday-watered the soil , topped up the pots and added 2ml of A+B hydrogrow Thursday upped the power to 60% this is the recommended setting , but I was a little cautious, I didn’t want to burn anything Probably going to cull down to 6 this week , 3 of each - throw the others - see what happens

Bruce Banner #3 fast is finishing up. She grew okay. I messed something up somewhere during grow. She still developed some frosty colas under the Hortibloom Solux 350. She will likely be going to ph water in a few days to a week.

18/02: The plants sugar leaves are starting to turn yellow being a good sign they are nearly done. Added more cable ties as again the colas are getting too heavy for the actual stalks. Should be a good harvest. Few more days on the nutes then to flush.

Week 5 started July 24, 2022 Growth is still strong into week five, I see no pre flowering, I think that is because she started really slowly due to me getting used to this new light, etc. July 27, 2022 Smells like lime sherbet up in here. LST, light defoliation to get some light on the lower colas. Really watered in today for the first time soaking the media, she is stretching and I see maybe some hairs for pre-flower - hope not too too soon though, I'd like more height than nine inches before she fully stretched
