Hey Growmies! I'm thrilled to share my latest project: two exceptional grow environments, each a lush green haven with 9 plants on plant rollers. We’re employing a blend of Scrog (Screen of Green) and Sog (Sea of Green) techniques. Each plant has its individual ScroG, directly connected to its air-pot, facilitating easy mobility and care within the tent. As the Room is on the cooler side at the moment, I've set up a Solea infrared heater, controlled by an Inkbird ITC-308 temperature controller, to maintain a cozy climate. Each tent is also equipped with a Spider Farmer Cool Mist humidifier for perfect humidity levels. Initially, I planned for identical setups in both tents, but adaptation is crucial. I encountered a challenge with the UR45 lights due to their single plug and UV/IR switches. To overcome this, in Tent 1, I’ve installed two UR45 lights: one dedicated to IR and the other to UV, each managed by a Meross smart plug. The Mars Hydro app manages the light and in-line fan controls in Tent 2, though it has its limitations. The ITC-308 takes care of the infrared heater, while the humidifier regulates itself. I'm really into this setup, but I'm already thinking about upgrading to a single grow controller for all devices. Excitingly, ‘Epic Buzz’ in Tent 1 is competing in the Tent-X Ultimate Grow Challenge sponsored by Trolmaster, who has also sponsored a Tent X Controller for this tent. This addition will greatly enhance our control and monitoring capabilities in this tent. This grow season is extra thrilling as I’m collaborating with Anesia Seeds and Ganja Farmer Seeds. They've provided some amazing strains. Tent #1 houses ‘Epic Buzz’, ‘Red Banana Pudding’, and ‘Pink Matcha Slush’ from Anesia Seeds. Tent #2 features ‘Caramel’, ‘GMO’, and ‘Bruce Banner x White Russian’ from Ganja Farmer Seeds. I’ll be documenting their growth in individual diaries. Check out these links for each strain's story: 1. Anesia Seeds - Epic Buzz [Grow Diary](https://growdiaries.com/diaries/189991-anesia-seeds-epic-buzz-grow-journal-by-salokin) 2.

UPDATE - Saturday 13th March This week has been ok but I need to take it easy on the nutes! Especially with the soil one. Ooohhhhh 😵why did I use soil. It’s really annoying because it’s at weedy little seedling stage and iv obviously over fed it. I added some worm castings to the one on the right in the hempy bucket though , along with ecothrive biosys They should break down fairly quickly given how packed with microbes and micorhyzae to buffer the ph of my hempy buckets to where I need them to be. I don’t even bother with my ph pen now. I’m glad I didn’t spend £69 on one but it would be good to get a decent one at some point. It’s not top of the list though. Grow space number three is looming and this time I actually have the equipment. Only problem is I don’t want to use my old converted wardrobe. It’s too small and pretty pointless. If I’m going to have a tent in my studio flat space where I have to hear the fans or rather the varispeeds hum. I’m very tempted to take the big grow tent out of that room and then paint the walls bright white and just vent the room. Instead of the tent. The ductings already there. Then I could move the bigger tent somewhere else in the flat. The thing is - I started growing to provide me with my medicine,however, I’m in prohibition-land. So far I haven’t had the space to be able to get a monster harvest. My last one was the best so far I think it was 2.5oz between three plants. I have decided to turn it into an auto tent (shout out to fast buds for sponsoring me) They are just so easy. At first I was worried because i thought the lights were on longer but they finish so god dam quick from seed to smoking. I’m f surly sure curing autos must take longer than growing them. That fastberry is coming along nice but It’s such a non bushy plant. Like lanky but in a good way. A lanky green stem with these random bright purple buds on the tops. This is the first grow I’m going to use a proper magnification device when I need to check trichomes. I think iv been harvesting too early. Well actually just last time because I was scared the police were coming. LOONG story. Anyway, I’m looking forward to being able to see those thrich’s get cloudier and cloudier. Will make some nice source photographs for my art also. I nabbed these awesome plant holder uppers that just poke into the soil in the pot and they are round and have sections to put cola’s through. They look really perfect for auto’s final bushy look once trained.

She's getting towards the end now. Just watching the trichomes. At the moment all of them are crystal clear.

## Week 6 Update: Strong Vegetative Growth Continues 🌿💚 ### 🌱 Preparing for Flowering 🌱 Welcome back! In Week 6, all three of our plants—Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze, Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush, and Blueberry Muffin—are still in the vegetative stage. They are thriving, and this extended time in veg is allowing them to develop robust structures, setting the stage for a strong flowering phase later on. --- ### 🌼 Vegetative Progress 🌼 **Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze 🌞** - Growing vigorously, with significant height and branch development. - The plant is responding well to LST, creating a wider and more even canopy. **Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush 🌿** - Compact and bushy, with strong, dense growth. - Ideal for smaller spaces, this plant is developing a solid foundation for flowering. **Blueberry Muffin 🥞** - Showing lush foliage and thickening stems. - The extended vegetative period is helping to ensure a healthy, resilient plant ready to support heavy buds. --- ### 🌱 Vegetative Techniques 🌱 To maximize growth during this stage, I’ve focused on several key techniques: - **Low-Stress Training (LST):** Continually training the branches to spread out and create multiple bud sites. - **Topping:** Applied to promote bushier growth and enhance yield potential. - **Defoliation:** Light defoliation to improve air circulation and light penetration to the lower parts of the plants. - **Nutrient Management:** Maintaining a balanced nutrient schedule with an emphasis on nitrogen to support healthy vegetative growth. --- ### 🌿 Looking Ahead 🌿 With all plants still in the vegetative stage, the focus remains on building strong, healthy plants. This extended veg time will pay off when we finally transition to flowering, ensuring that the plants are well-prepared to produce large, high-quality buds. Stay tuned for next week's update as we continue to nurture these plants and prepare for the eventual switch to flowering! Happy growing! 🌿💚

It's been about 2 weeks since the switch to 18/6 so I'm thinking we have another 2 weeks until we start seeing new growth

Apart from the spot on the leaf she’s growing fine I guess. Weather has been getting better during the day but still cold at night 7-10 d.celcius. I considered topping her but since this is technically part of my first grow I’m going to let her grow all natural. Any advice always welcome!

Hi all another week down almost . I’ve recorded a couple of videos (beginning or week and back end ) as you cannot see the big girl properly with a photo . She has soo much going on ,I’m not only proud of myself but super pleased with this girl . Having germinated only 2 seeds and got 2 plants granted one was weak from the start , that easily could have been my doing as a newby , I really cannot fault GHSc . Feed has been easy to work with and without dramas . Shouldn’t be long now before I start flushing ready for harvest . Thanks for being here with me , I don’t feel I’ve got any hope regarding the compition but that wasn’t my hopes anyhow , I wanted to see how I did as a newby growing same as some veterans . Happy considering . Stay safe and happy growing guys

Comenzando ya la ultima fase del cultivo, descubrimos una paleta de olores bastante amplia la cual nos recuerda olores como Mango fresco y Melón Tuna, olores bien marcados. Comenzaremos el lavado de raices, ya que empezamos a ver tricomas con tonalidades "ambar", esperemos seguir con este resultado el cual nos tiene bastante satisfechos. !Saludos & Buenos Humos! 🙌

Switched the Big bud to Overdrive give them that PK boost there needing, frosting and stacking nicely.... took the tip out of 90% of the top bud and I mean the tips like 1 maybe 2 calyx hopefully make them start swelling more instead of vertical growth 🤟

I had to prune a lot of roots that were rotting before the holiday. Probably due to heat and bad hygiene from not being able to completely wash the earth out of the root complex. But it survived 2 weeks on its own and ist putting out new roots... It sure is willing to survive 😅😅 I will wait and see if I can get some true foliage out of it 🤷‍♂️

Started the week with some Low Stress Training and continued to add and rearrange the ties throughout the week. There are a handful of reasons to LST your plants but the main reason should be to train the plant to grow with an even canopy when flowering. If you were to just grow your plant without any training, the plant would typically grow like a Christmas tree where the star would be your main top cola and have smaller buds (larf) on the bottom 3/4 of the plant. When trained correctly and achieving an even canopy will produce multiple large colas across an even canopy allowing as many colas (bud sites) as possible to be the same height from the light source. The Pineapple grew quickly which made the LST very easy and it worked out great in the end. The Purple was not growing so good and that was disappointing considering the other Purple that was growing in the other space grew very nice, similar to the Pineapple. Getting a runt / mutant is more common than one would think. At this point Feed was every other day and 3ml in 3L Ph between 6 - 6.1 *This week switched both SF2000 lights on and was having heat issues which didn't get corrected till late in the week.

So this week is the start of flower !! Woooohooo finally get to show what I'm made of ! Step one ) take all the big fan leaves Step two ) establish a "light line" and take all small shoots that are unable to get the proper amount of light due to their distance from the top of the canopy. * These are the places we all wish would grow ! These are also the places that are at risk of - hermaphroditism - mold - waste of energy for the plant. ** These are also some of the best places to take clones ** Continue to tie and secure everything in preparation of massize buds ! I hope some people looked at this like " This took way too much off " I took ALOT. Yes I push , I push hard to know how much they can take . Yes I would say 60% of plants DO NOT like a massive defoliating. But, the ones who do , you will unlock a yeild like never seen . It's the risk we take . One thing I have noticed is when I'm gonna defoli , I don't combone high stress or toping + a bunch of other techniques . Should have some pretty huge plants by two months ! Thanks for stopping by more notes and pictures to follow . First week of flower was a great success!!! Unfortunately I did have covid this week so my pictures weren't exactly where I would want them . For these genetics, it's crazy , they haven't been topped or LST'd and yet they are growing flat at the top ! *** I did have covid this week so my pictures weren't exactly up to par. So I'll do my.best to make it up with notes , - this week very little flower stretch that is definitely a plus for people who want medium sized bushy plants . Not saying that this one won't stretch but so far there has been very little stretching . - there are ALOT of nice shoots throughout the canopy, plenty of places to take clones *** this genetic clones very well so that is another thing to note ! So great clonability . The end of week one I have seen very little stretching , in my opinion these could all be considered S1 . It interesting, even with no topping or training these plants NATURALLY grow FLAT! so for all you Screeners out there this is a primal genetic for that !!! In to week two !!! Here We Go !!! -------------------------- Find these world class genetics at : https://www.exoticseed.eu/products/exotic-animal#:~:text=What%20is%20Exotic%20Seed's%20Exotic,be%20cultivated%20indoors%20and%20outdoors.
