On August 19th I decide to apply supercroping technique to get much more sunlight penetration in the whole canopy, let's see how she turns out, she's pretty big to be planted late in the season,looks fenomenal and very healthy,I also applied a defoliation now that we are in second week to get that the light gets to every single flower site. 🌸💚❤️💛

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍. Website link here: https://www.mars-hydro.com/grow-tent/buy-mars-hydro-grow-tent-24x48x70-2-x-4-cabinet-closet-grow-box-upgraded-diamond-1680d-mylar-for-sale ViparSpectra 240w Quantum Board: This thing is sleek and slick in terms of design. Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

I'm using a 2x2x5 spider farmer tent and technically I start germination on 1/17/23 at 9pm and in the picture I'm using Rockwool but also a small pot with fox farm soil to hold it upright

7/4 - When I came into the tent this morning all the Jacks were praying! Even my little Struggling Jack (who is looking great). I have to believe it was the worms. I did nothing else. I watered all with Trinity and RO Water. JH2 has nearly completely recovered from her deficiencies. Her leaves look great. Very little sign of any of the previous damage. 7/6 - I'm amazed at how well JH2 is doing! I had to take a little video to show how well she has recovered. She has nearly no visible damage left to her leaves. She is very green and looks happy. The other two have completely recovered, but they were no where near as bad as JH2 was. I watered them today with just RO water, CalMag, and Extreme Serene as they will get fed tomorrow. I also did a foliar spray of the Extreme Serene on all. 7/9 - Watered with RO water and Molasses today. The Jack Herers look super healthy and happy, even the one that was struggling. I left one of the Jack o'natural. I didn't top her or do any real LST because she had some deficiencies at the time and I didn't want to stunt her even further. Now that she's healthy, it's too late. I'm flipping them to flower next week and that's just not enough time for her to recover. So, I thought I would leave her as is and see how she turns out in her natural, Xmas tree shape!

11/24 Week 11 and things are happening Flowering tent: Pussy, F7, is on finish feed today flush tomorrow she is set for a harvest in about 7-10 days Plenty is just gorgeous pride of the tent Octo is finally building well so good times Chew Mee is now tallest in the tent with an inch on Octo she has to stay between the lights now Solitaire is Growing well and building but the lack of space is showing on her Dink is growing bushy but well Auto tent All on half n' half switching to full bloom shortly Bambi is just huge keeping her in line but yeah tall girl Thumber slow to grow does not look like she will be tall Holly f7 doing well Mary Gold Leaf growing well also as is Tiffany I know the camera sucks but given all thats happening its just not a priority we are barely finding time to update diaries at all 1/25 Big nuet change Cocotek Bloom running low cant get more for any decent price so switched the Flowering tent to Floraduo also stopped Peak as Pussy is in flush so save it for others later. Both GHE so pretty seamless except for adding cal-mag Pussy in her last week, progress must be made would let her go longer but needs dictate Plenty and Octo progressing well ahead of breeder info so looking at a couple of weeks there. Sativas reaching for the sky, Chew Mee making herself seen Dink taken off booster seat Solitaire looking pretty gave her more room by taking some from Pussy as she finishes. Auto tent remains on cocotek for a few more feeds but will shift as well. Damn GD messed up again, doubled part of the nuet list so be aware the list may be wrong Corrected list again maybe its fixed now 1/27 Flower tent Pussy continues to finish nicely Octo and Plenty right behind but a week or so Others doing well Auto Tent Bambi is a big girl she will be moved to the flower tent to replace Pussy Space the last frontier... and we are SHORT so continue to tweek things to get them through this Clone tent Clones growing a bit slow but the light situation is less than ideal for them. Only 100 watts in the tent. F7 and LSD ready for topping GC will need more time Plan is to flip between 12 - 14 inches after topping recovery Will firm up plans next week on these Ran across an idea , had we used microriza fungus in the pots for rooting the fungus gnat larva would have went after that rather than the roots themselves. They prefer fungus but will settle for root hairs Seeing some long term root issues in the recovered plants, think those hairs lost remain so thus having to stay on rooting hormones longer than normal

Welcome to 📅Day 15 of veg 3/29/2021 she is fully recovered from my micro top and growing fast under the MH TS 1000. I'm not going the change much at this point nutrient wise as she is doing good and she is still small. Update 📅Day 17 of veg 3/31/2021 well it looks like she is growing fast and strong I'm very happy with the MH TS 1000 I have high hopes. I decided that at this point I can increase the light output to 60% that gives me a LUX of around 20,000 LUX 💡. The light intensity is much higher then the AGLEX at this point now with the AGLEX light not able to hit 20,000 LUX 💡 without the bloom switch on and I am going to wait till next week for that Update 📅Day 19 of veg 4/2/2021 she is growing fast and I'm very happy with her progress. I installed the trellis net just above the canopy and over night she is through it lol. Can't wait to see how she does in flower under the Mars Hydro TS 1000💡, at this point I wish I had 2 TS 1000💡 so I could just run them. that's it for this weeks updates as as always Happy growing🍃 and keep you stick on the ice 🏒

Hallo und herzlich willkommen zu meinem Schlußbericht Outdoor 2025 mit den Sorten Power Flower Feminized, Royal Medic Feminized und Special Kush #1 Feminized, alle 3 von Royal Queen Seeds. Es ist das erste Mal, das ich Töpfe für den Outdoor grow verwendete, bisher waren alle Gorilla grows und direkt in die Erde gepflanzt. Die URL der Power Flower Feminized: https://www.royalqueenseeds.de/feminisierte-hanfsamen/120-power-flower.html Die Planung für den Grow war, die Samen in easyplug Anzuchtwürfeln keimen zu lassen und danach in 0,6L und 2,2L Plastiktöpfen, dann letztlich in die neuen komplett doppellagigen ROOTIES 15 Liter Wide Version Stofftöpfe umzutopfen. Sobald die Witterung es zuläßt, sollten die Pflanzen an die frische Luft. Tag 249: Die Schlußernte der Power Flower feminized von Royal Queen Seeds steht an. Für die 103 Gramm Nass getrimmter Blüten hab ich von ~17:00 Uhr bis weit nach Mitternacht geschnibbelt. Die Buds haben eine schöne lila Farbe. Mit der ersten Ernte vom 12.10. macht das zusammen 360 Gramm Nass getrimmte Blüten. Die Blüten liegen zum trocknen in den DryFerm Bags im Keller bis sich das Gewicht an 3 aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen nicht mehr verändert. Dann ist die Restfeuchte bei ca. 60%. Das ist die schonendste Trocknung die ich kenne, kaum Geruch im Keller aber die volle Ladung Terpene, wenn man die Tüten öffnet. Absolut zu empfehlen. Tag 251: Hab euch noch den Trocknungsplan fotografiert und meine DIY Pollenmaschine. Das Ergebnis der Siebung zeig ich euch, wenn's soweit ist. Auf dem Trocknungsplan kann man sehen, dass die Special Kush #1 fem. (SK#1 1) am Sonntag noch 125 Gramm auf die Waage brauchte und heute, 3 Tage später nur noch 74 Gramm. Alleine in dieser Tüte sind in der kurzen Zeit 51 Gramm Wasser verdunstet. Tag 252: Die Blätter der Power Flower feminized sind fertig durchgesiebt, das Glässchen ist fast voll. Diese Art der Blattverwertung gefällt mir besser als Cannabutter zu kochen. Minimaler Energieeinsatz, keine Action. Jetzt schau ich Mal, wie ich den Pollen gebacken bekomme. Wenn's dir gefallen hat, schau wieder vorbei ✌️😎

Week 1: All the seeds popped within 4-5 days. Everything is looking good and they are all happy. I moved them into the 2x4 tent with a Mars 300 led. I’ve sprayed daily with plain water with a couple drops of voodoo juice. They are all starting on their first set of leaves. Nothing much going on at this moment. Happy Growing 🌱

We are a couple who decided to plant cannabis for the first time during the covid-19 quarantine, and it helped us get through it, during and after grow =] Before deciding to plant, we studied a lot and saw many diaries here, so we didn't have many surprises during the cycle, also because we were able to see, compare and know what to expect from our plant. It was really cool to see the result of what we had studied happening in practice, we learned a lot from Grow Diaries. Definitely we will do a lot of different things next time, but overall we were satisfied to be able to smoke our own weed. Grow diaries helped and motivated us a lot, both to learn new things and to organize and register our grow. Our intention is to continue growing and sharing our experience here. Weed love you to leave comments and tips in our diary, it helps us to learn and improve more and more. Thanks and see you all next grow! 👽😜👌

I used some lollipopping to boost the growth of the main colas. In the first 3 pics above you can see the difference between the two different sized pots. The 20 lt ones have more space to grow and produce a more branched and complex structure.

. 🌱 : LST and defoliation on day 49 💧 : 4l day 53, no pk13/14, 4l day 55 💡 : Dli: 40 mol/m²/d 🤔 : After optimizing many things, I suspect that I'm adding pk 13/14 too early, which then leads to a magnesium deficiency due to too much potassium from pk 13/14 and calcium from the tap water (16.1°dH, calcium 80.8 mg/l, magnesium 21.0 mg/l).

This week was fun, had nutrient lockout on the one plant some signs on others. Decided to flush from the top with two plants which is a terrible idea with autopots; the minerals build up in the soil and all I did was wash them down. The plant that was looking the worse had some lower branches die after this so I cut them out. Reached out to autopot and they were a huge help, flushed from the Rez and then brought my nutrients way down. I only just got an ec meter but I was at 3200 ppm when I started the flush and 150 by the time I added nutrients back in. The two plants that I flushed from the top aren’t in great shape but they’re still alive, only 2 more weeks to go so hopefully this didn’t have too much of an impact on quality!

12/09/2022 - 36 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 The first week of flowering my Orange Sherbet 🍨🍨🍨 Nutrients: Jungle Indabox - This week I adjust the dose of nutrients to support flowering and added nutrients - flowering stimulators: Jungle Urban A: 0.5 ml Jungle Urban B: 1.5 ml Jungle Urban M: 1 ml Flower stimulators: Jungle Environ X: 1ml Advanced Nutrients - Bud Candy 2 ml Advanced Nutrients - Bud Ignitor 1 ml Advanced Nutrients - Big Bud 2ml Hesi Root Complex - 5ml - last week of adding this nutrient Atami - ATA Calmag - when growing under LED lights it is recommended to use Calmag and Atami is an excellent brand, I give the same as in vegetation: 0.5ml. Lights: I don't change Bloom light, I still use Mars Hydro TS1000 - 150w full spectrum, great light to use both in vegetation and flowering 💡💡 Training: LST: third attachment of all twigs where flowers are formed 🌸🌸 Defoliation: the first big defoliation took place in the middle of the week, I removed the large leaves at the bottom of the plants and those that shaded the flowers 🍃🌞 The little girl has only grown by 5 cm since last week, she is already putting all her strength into flowering. The pistils at the ends of the twigs already form white tufts 😊💓 I can smell a subtle scent of herbs and flowers, but very subtle indeed. I'm already looking forward to the girl smelling the whole room and I can smell all the notes of her aroma🌼 Thanks for the likes and you can follow me on Twitter 🐦: @ Targona666 See you soon 😍
