Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 30/11/2019 - Struggling with high humidity, change led strip color from red,green,blue to red and green. 1/12/2019 - Checked and adjusted the light distance. 2/12/2019 - Pot feels light and dry, gave her 1,5l PH 6.3 with a 1/4 of recommended Biobizz nuts, notice almost no run off. 3/12/2019 - Finally her first pistil appeared on the main stem I was starting to get worried.

Harvested at week 17 and hung whole plants to dry, no wet trimming. Tent humidity was set to 60% and the average temperature fluctuated between 65-70 degrees. Four usb fans and a levoit mini air purifier were added to help circulate air. Herb was dried for 15 days and larger leaves trimmed during day 7 of the process. Bucked and dry trimmed in air purified lung room, which was then kept at 60% RH to preserve moisture content and help maintain terpenes. Trim and larf was not weighed. But weight per individual plant is as follows. GMO 1 - 3.98 oz GMO 2 - 3.95 oz GMO 3 - 4.75 oz Total - 12.68 oz of head stash and smalls Also ended up with 2 grams of scissor hash Jarred up per genotype and labeled - burped jars couple times a day for about a week.

I was learning a lot just about water itself. Currently the method I use was inspired by an article I found on Canna Nutrient’s website: Rainwater + tap water to EC 0.2 (100ppm) Add CalMag to reach EC 0.4 (200ppm) Ph down (first diluted a small amount in water) Nutes Day 58: Increased the feed to 3/4 Day 59: Replaced the tap water to liquid silicon. Rainwater + Liquid silicon to EC 0.2 (100ppm) Add CalMag to reach EC 0.4 (200ppm) Ph down (first diluted a small amount in water) to ph 5.6

Monster maker photoperiod feminised is now on its 4th week since pout the seed in the root riot cube I trimmed the first set of true leaves to promote more lateral growth 3rd nodes leafs are getting bigger and can clearlly see the 4th node developing

Flush is on! A gallon a day each of pH’ed tap water for the next week and a half to 2 weeks. Fall colors galore incoming! One is already going mad purple as I started it on the flush a bit earlier.

Looking at the canopy now, it really feels like everything came together at the right time. The two Northern Lights are stacking thick, frosty colas with that classic dense structure, while the Critical is entering her final phase, fading from green into those lime-yellow tones as she pulls the last energy from her leaves. The buds are fully formed and swelling hard. Everywhere you look, it’s just resin, a proper blanket of trichomes covering the flowers and sugar leaves. Under closer inspection, most trichomes are cloudy now, with the first ambers starting to show, especially on the edges. Pistils are turning orange and curling inward, another clear sign that the finish line is close. The differences between the strains really stand out at this point. The Northern Lights plants are darker, more compact, and absolutely dripping in frost, while the Critical leans lighter in color with a more pronounced fade and slightly airier, but still chunky buds. Together, they fill the tent with a balanced, even canopy — every top sitting right in the sweet spot under the light. We’re officially inside the harvest window now. From what I’m seeing, I’d estimate about 7–12 days left. It’s one of those moments where patience really matters. Chopping earlier would keep things a bit more uplifting, but giving them a few more days will push more amber trichomes and deepen the effect. Right now, they’re close — but not quite at their absolute peak. I’m letting them ride just a little longer to fully mature and finish strong. Overall, this run has been alright. The environment stayed dialed in, the plants responded well, and now they’re rewarding that with proper, high-quality flowers. Stats so far: 💧 Watering: Every third day 🌡️ Temp: 26–28°C 💦 Humidity: 65% RH 📈 VPD: ~1.18 kPa 💡 Light: ~700 PPFD

The switch from last week to this week, veg into bloom, has gone super fast! I've done 2 waterings this week, 1st with just water and second I added bio bizz bloom 1 ml/l, root booster and cal mag. All at 1ml/l and this time i took the time to check ph and ppm. I had to lower pH (scary) for the second time from 7.1 to 6.1 and I'm seeing definate effect in the amount of white pistil growth! So much more vigorous the last grow, when I overfed.

Some deficiencies due to PH levels too high. Replaced with new PH pen.. Waiting on recovery, should notice difference by the end of the week.. Going to week 12.😓🎋

35 days! The plant finally started to stretch, relief! Was really worried I got a small plant again but am now at the end of week 5 thinking that it will go mid to big :) Tied the plant down multiple times this week and defoliated quite often, the plant did not seem to mind. A slight smell is coming. Marked this week as bloom because it is in early bloom. Increased light intensity and light cycle mid week, 18/6 - 20/4. Overall a very good week. Values are average of the day.

Arranca la segunda semana de 12/12 aún no hay signos de sexo, sigo dándole nitrógeno fuerte, cambiandole la solución 1 vez a la semana El 15 de febrero será un mes desde la germinación

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** If you like this week, please hit a like, it costs you nothing! 👊. Thanks in advance 😉! From/Desde: 05/08/19 || To/Hasta: 11/08/19 From day/Desde día: 14 || To day/Hasta día: 20 -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- V2: From day 17 to 22 she has turned a quarter, 90º. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- One week more of normal and constant grow, i like the rythm she has growing as i feel she's having a good amount of time for developing the root system. I didn't noticed any weird colour, twirl or something like that, anyway this tent is not totally isolated from outdoors as is always semi-opened in my living room, and the door to my terrace is opened 24/7. She looks very healthy and equitative, also i think she has a perfect height to keep her growing at low height, just a bit over the pot once topped. Next week i will perform the first topping and prunning. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 08/08/19 - 3,000 ml with all week nutrients @ 1 E.C. PH5.8 *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- V2: De los días 17 a 22 de crecimiento la planta ha girado un cuarto de giro, 90º. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Una semana más de crecimiento normal y constante, me gusta el ritmo en el que crece pues me da la impresión de que está teniendo un tiempo excelente para desarrollar el sistema radicular. De momento no he notado ningún color o cosas raras en las hojas, aún así este armario de cultivo no está totalmente aislado del exterior ya que está siempre semi-abierto en mi salón, y la puerta de mi terraza está abierta 24/7. Se la ve muy sana y equitativa, también tengo la sensación de que va a coger el tamaño perfecto para mantener el crecimiento bajito, justo un poco por encima del tiesto una vez hecho el topping. La semana que viene realizaré la primera poda y el primer topping. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 08/08/19 - 3.000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 1 E.C. PH5.8

There's soooooo much and it smells great. I had a 3x3 for drying but resorted to just drying in the grow tent since I'm not sure if it would have all fit. I will not be using a SCROG especially with Autopots and this light as it leaves no room for me to get in and train. Will post final results in ~10 days or so. See you on the next one

The plant was harvested on day 67 of flower and is now hanging up to dry. I've got the drying environment set at around 58-60% humidity with a temperature range of 15-19°C. Hoping for a nice slow dry to preserve those terps! 👃💨 Will update once it's ready for the next step. Stay tuned! 🚀

I ended up adding a scrog net just to open them up some more and get that light penetration.Two of these ladies have took on a really good stretch on the main cola and have a Christmas tree appearance.The other two are short and bushy as I did break off the top cola on the one and trained her nice and even.These photos were taken on Christmas Day :)

06/24/2019 Start of week #4, stretching i done and buds getting bigger! I did reservoir change outside and took a little video so you see her shimmer!

Day 67 of flowering and any day it's getting cut down but truthfully thinking bout day 70 which will be on a Tuesday which I'm off I did turn the dim down a lil bit overall everything looks good smells good and soon hopefully taste good also my picture of my amber wouldn't load but on 5/11 I first saw them so Day 65

Placed three purple punch auto flowers from Royal queen seeds. Two of three germinated. So 66% success rate. Three days germination. After the tap root came the one on the right was fine I did nothing. At five days I started 1/4 tsp grow big and 1/2 tsp big bloom staying under 200 ppm. The one on the left had trouble penetrating the sponge so I cut the sponge lengthwise and stretching the root down straight. Afterwards the tap root got better and stronger.
