Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Some minor tweaks since these pictures were taken Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500 x1 Vege lights - DIY 630umol/s PAR x3 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR x2 Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature. A humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed The last 4-5 weeks of flower phase. Irrigation - I use 6 pressure compensating emitters per 5-gallon pot.. Basic process - 16/8 vege and 12/12 ligth schedule - Updated 2026 Sow up to 2x as many seeds as needed. These sit in a 1020 tray under the xs1500 until potting up to 1-gallons. After potting up, a couple 226-watt DIY lights are turned on to cover entire 4x4 area. Everything is hand-watered up to this point. Weak plants are removed as needed to get down to 8 plants that will go into final pots. This takes just over 3 weeks. Once in the 5-gallon pots (slightly under-filled), they move to the 4x8 platform under two 650w lights running at 60% and a slightly closer hanging distance than normal for a minimum of 10 days before flip to flower - usually ~14. Some light training with scrog to get the canopy level and allow 10-12 future vertical branches per plant to space out a bit. Cuttings for any feminized breeding cycles are taken after 30-35 days. Some light pruning of lower growth occurs. Flip to flower is generally 35-38 days after sprouting, but the second grow cycle can sometimes be delayed by the first. After flip to flower, lights set to 100% with normal hanging distance, and fertilizer concentration is reduced. Now, the vertically growing 10-12 branches per plant are spaced out the last few inches with minimal training. The scrog provides the anchor. If necesary, some minimal pruning is employed to avoid future congestion. Some pruning is inevitable, but the goal is not to waste time and resources on growth that is not producing fruit. Average and better plants will be 180-250+ grams. Weak plants will fall short of that. Even culling the weak early on in vege will result in 1-2 weak plants per crop, on average. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 10-14 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 65F and RH is controlled at 57-60%. Then, into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket. These are burped until moisutre levels are confidently at equilibrium. Once i figure out what I prefer to smoke, large portions of both harvests will be vacuum sealed - still kept in the sealed, rh-controlled 5-gallon buckets. Only cut open a couple at a time to keep everything fresh throughout the year. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor. Tip: Reconstituting 2-way humidipaks -- tray, humidity dome and a heat mat are used. Set some wet paper towel on bottom of tray. change these out daily. I use upside down seedling pots so that the humidipaks don't directly touch the wet towels. Set heat mat to 80F or causes condensation to form on dome, and the 67-gram packs can gain abut 0.20 to 0.25 grams per hour. Weigh them as you go until they get back to 67 grams and remove from dome for use or storage. Anything that has precipitated (hardness inside), will mostly go back into solution over a few days, but some small portion may not. Shaking or otherwise moving the pebbles around in the solution will help speed that process up. If those solids inside build up over time, that's when you'll need to replace them. A few pebbles inside of a 67g pack won't matter much. The key is providing a closed 100% RH environment without directly wetting the packs. Rate of absorption is fairly slow, and will vary by pack size. You may not get 100% of it back into solution, but as long as those solids don't build up much, they'll work fine. This process also reduces any bud smell that may be clinging to them... assuming they dried out significantly and not just topping them off with a few grams of moisture. Don't try to max out their weight unless you are certain you only need 1-way RH control. Othwerwise, you don't want them fully saturated. So, do weight and keep track of their progress.

FastBuds - Gelato Auto x 1 Dry Weight - 2 ounce and 20.73 gram I can definitely see an increase in weight and yield from doing the mainlining technique I would normally get around 1.7 oz of an auto If I hadn't done any training and not lollypopped and defoilated the plant. Highly recommend this method to avoid clutter , little popcorn nugs and messy plants. I thought I lost a plant to herm but I could have been wrong as I seen a diary on here that looked very similar to the one I Isolated and it turned out OK. Smoked that one already and didn't hear any popping or cracking of seeds so she could have gone longer but I didn't wanna risk other plants turning. Nugs are rock solid! Gassy lemony smell! Tried one last night as a tester and it was niiiiiice! Will try and let the cure begin before I raid the jars lol Buzzing with results! This was also a sample from FastBuds so good! 🙌🍦🍦🍦🔥🔥🔥 👊

During this first week of vegetative growth, the seedling has slightly stretched more than expected, but this is not a problem since when I transfer it into the larger pot, I will bury the stem. 🌱 I haven't started giving nutrients yet because, as already mentioned, the substrate I use has them for the first few weeks, in fact the leaves seem to me to be a nice bright green. ✔️ I proceeded to mount a small fan on the side of the tent to create recirculation of air and make the stems of the seedlings take some strength. 💨 For now the main tent is occupied by the flowering phase of other plants so for the first few weeks I will leave the seedlings in the closet with smallest led light. 💡 (link below) ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B08P2G1VQW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s02?ie=UTF8&th=1

Flower week 9

Harvested the Clones! I'm stoked how #4 grew out, I think she's the winner! With limited space in my grow, I'm only going to be able to bloom out the rest of the phenos clones to week 3-4.. The show must go on.. It's the price I must pay for using non-ideal cloning methods... Next round of phenohunting will have 100% cloning success, using my new aeroponics cloning machine.

I'm being very consistent with training her under the trellis. I'd say she will be ready for flower in about a week😀😀😀. I'm so happy for how she pulled through my bullshit. Not to mention my 3 year old nephew got in my tent and tore what little leaves she did grow in the beginning. Man this girl is a survivor. Watering every 10 days or so with a light compost tea to keep the microbes on point.

Day 45: Nothing much to say for this week. Did do some Defoliation again... See you guys next week.

Sep 7: surprise hailstorm at about 8 pm did minor damage to other plants but these were fine. Harvest continues.

Well.. nice start of a new week. Still stretching so today changing water for fresh water. Going to level up the EC from tapwater 0.3 tot 0.7 with CalMag before adding nutrients. Then raising the EC to 2.2 I hope (depending on the PH not dropping below 5.8). Hopefully they will consume less water and therefore stop stretching.. We will just see what happens. Easy to lower EC afterwards and also easy to raise PH. I just have to add some tapwater. 13/7 some shortages and maybe too much light. Reducing time with half an hour daily. Raised EC to 2.3

Comenzando la 3era semana en donde nuestras Tropicannas Poison de Sweet Seeds. van super y con un olor. La alimentacion es la misma en variando en un poco las dosis.

Defoliation every 4 days ✂️🍃🍃🍃

I’m overjoyed with the phenos this strain is producing, strong vibrant purples with some serious flavour profiles! Scent Profiles we have: Candy Lemon Sherbet 🍬🍋 Sweet & Piney Diesel 🍭🌲⛽️ Sweet & Tangy Tropical Punch 🏝️🥊 Alongside this, these beauties are the frostiest and the most insanely dense koala looking nugs I’ve ever produced!

Buenas a tod@s... Bueno otra semanita más de estas hermosas nenas, ya más grandes y empezando a desarrollar sus frutos, la verdad q están creciendo muy bien, sin problemas, aunq hay veces q la temperatura este un poco alta las voy controlando y van muy bien, este cultivo yo creo q promete para bien... Me gusta ver buenos resultados cada vez q empiezo un cultivo nuevo, super contento y las niñas tanbm... 🙌🏻🙏🏻💀😎💪🏻 Buenos humos para tod@s...🔥🔥💨💨 🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

flowers really packing on weight this week. I've had to tie up supports and stripped off quite a few of the older fan leaves. I've started the flush this week to go with the strain timings. any flush advice would be appreciated.

💩Holy Crap We Are Back💩 Well i took the summer off to do some outdoor but thats all done so , we are back indoors and at it again 😁 So super happy to be trying this one out , can't wait😝 .....Let's see if we can get the best cherry 🍒 cola terps as possiable ..👍 Well Growmies we are just 7 days in , and everything looks good 👌 Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍rain water to be used entire growth👈 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14 NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎 👉THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO GO OVER MY DIARIES 👈

K.onec osmého týdne kvetení. J.e to masakr pupeny jsou tak veliké, že jejich váhu rostlina jen stěží nese a ohýbá se do všech stran. Následující týden budu snižovat ec až se dostanu na čistou vodu. Rostlina je stále vitální a neustále přibírá novou hmotu pestíky jsou na spodku už oranžové, ale vršky jsou stále bílé. Trichomy jsou čiré

Dry condition 20° 40-45% RH After a 14 day hang, she gifted a 72g + 20g worth of trim. My largest yield for one plant. Small buds but there are lots of them. Very good smoke from the early test before throwing the into the jar.
