Since this is my first time around, before getting started, I took a week to finetune my freshly built setup. Took me a couple of days to get the parameters in order, mostly battling high humidity due to wet soil straight out of the bags. (Plagron Promix) At the beginning of this week i first put the pots in the tent (actually a 4 by 5) and started feeding the soil the myco alraidy. Figured it could be benificial. Them being autoflowers, I planted the seeds in the original pots and covered them with solocups. Watering mostly around the solocups multiple time per day wit a pressure dispenser. I took about 72 hours for the seeds to start germinating. Kept Par levels on the high side (350 and up day by day to 480 in the last days of week 1, probably less to the plants themselves because of the solo cups) thinking the strong genetics could handle it. All the while checking for signs of to much of it. That didn't occur, even after taking of the cups a day or two after germination. Nice as I am, I did not take any pictures, this week! But! some footage from the room where it all happens :)

Hola a todos!!!. Les comento como le fue esta semana a la auto black opium. La he regado en 2 ocasiones, en una solo con agua y en la otra regue con top auto 1.5ml x l y la última de top veg 2ml x litro de agua. En ambas ocasiones regue con 400ml . Ya comenzó a mostrar los pestillos, asique la próxima semana intuyo que será de floracion. El ph de dichos riego anduvo en los 6.4 , las ppm no las he medido..creo que no me olvido de anotar nada más. Hasta la próxima semana, y buenos humos!!!.

Day23: Upgraded my box with a Humidifier and humidity meter. Still figuring out how much power should I put it on to maintain good humidity level. Overall health looks good. After some days I'll spread out it a little using LST to get more light coverage. Day24: Removed some old leaves that were mostly in shade or shading other newer leaf. Continuing LST, getting into shape. Trying to be careful with the damaged stem. Day25: All good, some more twisting. As I see, I could manage to plant in one end of the pot and grow it to other. Now its time for vertical grow and a little bit spread-out for the sides. Looking Healthy. Weather: Heavy Fog before night time Day28 More LST and full area is covered now. time to get some height

OVERALL: ~ Very happy with the grow, I really dialled everything in well this run. ~ She grew super fast, I put it down to the constant oxygenation of the rootzone along with consistent and constantly optimized light DLI and leaf to air temp variance. The extra Co2 helped push the plant to its limit in terms of heat, allowing it to push its hardest. ~ The lack of HST and Defoliation I feel let it finish faster due to lack of stress and stunting. The faster finishing time along with the big yield and efficient MarsHydro light, it hugely reduced my electricity costs per gram and freed up space much sooner for the next plant. ~ Turned into a very dense bush of buds, there is even smokable dense buds at the base of the plant due to the under canopy lighting (Not as dense as top canopy buds but still decent) ~ Ran a thin line between stressing the plant and letting it flourish. The buds came out big and very dense, also it's hard to see on camera but they're very frosty too (Prob from UVB) YIELD: ~ 145g (dry) in just 9 weeks from seed. ~ 753g (Wet) ~ 0.91g/watt GENETICS: ~ MSNL - Gorilla Glue Auto ~ my favorite strain, as you can tell by my username! STRAIN REVIEW: ~ Heavy hitter, like an indica but has some of that "feel it in your face" sensation of a strong sativa. Not as heavy or as strong as other GG#4's I have smoked, which would make me question the genetics used to produce the auto version. I will wait till after a cure and judge it again. TRAINING: ~ No defoliation or HST (Bar last week for pics) ~ A little LST and leaf tucking but largely just left the plant alone to do its thing. I felt chopping healthy parts off the plant would slow the plant down and leave it with less chlorophyll to photosynthesize the light. ~ I did prune by lightly plucking dead leaves away, when the plant was ready to let them go easily. DRYING ~ 20/21'C 50% RH with air circulation. ~ Homemade Drybox made using: 2 x Bankers Boxes ~ 2 x USB Desk Fans ~ 1 x Carbon Filter ~ 6 x Clothes Hangers UPDATE: Day 5 after Harvest: ~ Fast dried some small batches, as we couldn't wait to sample. ~ Chopped off branches as some are down to 12% moisture whilst bigger buds are up at 18%. Moving to paper bag for couple of days to even moisture out then transferring to jars CURING: ~Curing in jars 3/4 full. ~ Dark closet/18'C/50% RH ~ Jars burped once Hygro passes 65% and sealed when it drops to 58%. ~ Stabilised it at 62% and after 2 weeks I'll drop it some more and stabilise it at 58% to bring out more of the flavour. ~Sitting in jars with Boveda 62% at this stage. ~ Already tastes and feels great. WATER: ~ Condensed (Starting at 40ppm) ~ Disinfected prior to adding nutrients etc. (Using COOSPIDER UVC - 253nm & 187nm bulb) CLIMATE: ~ Ambient Air Temp = 29'C ~ 28'C LST ~ Leaf to air temp variance of between 1'C ~ Night Temp = 22/23'C ~ Day/Night temp differential 6-7'C ~ Under Canopy Temp: 26'C (Day) ~ 21'C (Night) ~ Relative Humidity = 50-60%RH (Avg. 55%RH) ~ VPD = 1.45kPa (Avg.) ~ Co2 ranges from 900ppm to 1500ppm (Avg. 1200ppm) AIR PRESSURE: ~ Ambient Air Pressure (outside tent) = Mean Avg. 1010 mbars (101 Kilopascals) ~ Actual Air Pressure (inside tent) = Mean Avg. 1005 mbars (100.5 Kilopascals) ~ Air Pressure Differential = up to 0.5 kPa range between inside & outside LIGHT: ~ UVB (High intensity @ 45cm) ~ 2 hours daily mid light cycle. ~ Warm White 3000K/White 5000k/Far Red (660nm) ~ At plant canopy = PPFD 900-1000umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 45,000-55,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 55-65 ~ Under canopy lighting ~ Blue (460nm)/ Red (630nm) NUTRIENTS: ~ Mostly Advanced Nutrients (For base nutrients and most additives, as only company I could find scientific data on) ~ Canna (For Calmag Agent and Cannazym) ~ Plant Success (Great White Mycorrhizae) ADDITIONAL GROW TECHNIQUES: INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL: Infection control practices i.e ~ PPE, Alcohol Hand wash ~ Gray room outside tent, ~ Carbon filter ~ HEPA filter ~ Plasma Ionizer ~ Inline UV-C germicidal bulb ~ Also using an additional higher powered COOSPIDER (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins. ~ Ozone (o3) gas that is produced using the COOSPIDER, is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens. ~ Ed Rosenthal (Zero Tolerance organic pesticide), sprayed once a week as preventative measure. On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak (No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

Guys and gals I'm back and am I suprised Rhino Ryder number 2 start of week 8 of flowering one more week to go also did another flush today !! The fade is beautiful guys the smell is off the charts I keep my tent door open and my room smells amazing!!!

Hello growers, it's another week and I'm giving another video of my plants, I know that no one knows what they are like, but it's the first time, so I'm glad that they are what they are, thank you to everyone who answered my questions as much as possible, I'm trying to apply your advice in practice.. .Thanks again for any advice…

Very few white pistols left. I have started checking tricomes now for peak harvest time (hopefully) lol. 11/9/22 Added tricome pics and video to this week. Starting to turn milky, which is what I want, so I'll be keeping an eye on her.

Oct. 09 - Week 1 begins. Oct. 12 - Can almost watch it grow. Oct. 13 - Photo update. Gave 70ml nutrient solution. Time lapse uploaded. Oct. 14 - I have moved the tiny pot to the "cold room" which ranges between 17 and 20°C depending if the door is open or closed. Hopefully this stunts her a little. A preview of the light I put together a couple years ago in which I plan to use. It consists of a Makers LED Slim heatsink, an Arctic 120mm fan, 4 Cree XT-E 5000K, 9 Cree XT-E 3000K driven by a MeanWell LDH-45A-1050 driver and powered with a MeanWell GST90A12-P1M power supply. Being driven at 1050mA each LED runs a bit less than 3.5 watts for a total of around 45 watts. The heatsink becomes warm to the touch but far from hot. If you look closely, some of the red wire has become white on the side exposed to the light, so they're pretty powerful diodes. I use other lights I've assembled, both identical and similar to this one for some of my succulents and cacti which respond very well, the one cactus is growing at an amazing rate. Time lapse videos should be considerably better now since the new location is much lower traffic and I've learned how to stitch the photos together using PhotoShop in a much simpler way than how I had done it with iMovie. I'm pretty new to making time lapse videos so there are going to be some mistakes. I also have figured roughly how long my batteries last (2 days) so I switch them every other day.

==> Decreased the base nutrients for less Nitrogen She is doing great! Smelling stronger and with more personality than last week :D There are not many calyxes but they are swelling slowly and nicely :) Starting to get some purple colors in the buds already :D Her branches are thin and buds are gaining in weight so she is starting to fall! I will tie her up soon :D

Temps and humidity are getting up there and harder to control. Equipment is working harder to keep cool. Heatwave forecasted for next week:( Got old lights switched out for new Mars TS series:) Ladies might need to be watered everyday soon as they are taking a lot more every other day. Don’t want them to dry out to much. Added some mulch to help with the top layer from drying right out between waterings. Want to keep the top alive and not die off as the sides of the pot also dry up and really only the centre stays healthy between waterings. That’s why I have now decided in future grows that I’ll being going with large pots, like 30-45 gallon and fewer plants, maybe 1-2 and grow longer for bigger roots!

Day 71👋🌱 Started flushing. Giving ph controlled water at 6.2/6.5, I check TDS to water owerflowing from pot, bringing it to 50ppm from 400. Now I’ll start checking trichomes every three days, I’d like a 60% white and 40% amber. Day 72👋🌱🌱 Hi all growers, how is going? Second flush, baut maybe the real first one😎, i gave 10 lt of ph controled water (6.5) and was checking ppm from water coming out. i gave water unitl it reach 400 ppm, my water is 200 ppm, i hope i'll bring it to 50 ppm for next flush in 3 days. This lady is so fat, and tasty already i can smell chocolate and pinus, i'm sure they're going to fatten up 😋😉 Day 77🌱🌱🌱 🌱🌱🌱🌱 Keep washing it with ph controlled water, water now looks cleanest and buds are really blooming now, leaves are loosing color in favour to buds, i think i've got ther 6.7 days left to this lady cut. Let's see!!!! Let’se go!😋

10/29/19 - All is going good. The stretch always amazes me on how fast they grow! Watering 4 cups of water each plant every three days. I did not switch to 13/11 yet. I will do that the last few weeks. I moved the lights up to compensate for the stretch so lets see what that does. 10/31/19 - Moved the one that is not flourishing from the net to the side. The other are rocking the house!!! Did a bunch or rearranging and LST in the net. Should be set this week to leave it all alone. I also did a bunch of defoliation. Too bad I was not going to clone this strain anymore, cause there was some great cuttings. 👌

First set of leaves were a bit light and what appears as some decent tip burn? Bucket was running hot on week two, but left it alone. She’s happy now that she’s starting to get the munchies. Most of the growth is looking decent. I’m going to top above the fourth node, and take the lower branches leaving 6 main branches to train. She’s topped but it looks like I will end up with 8 branches to play with. I may remove the bottom two?

The girls are starting their 2 week flush. The fade will set in quickly. Can't wait to see how these turn out. Can't wait to sample these sticky buds. Thanks again BOG for all your contributions to the Marijuana community. Rip a good breeder.

Ich hätte Sie sooo gerne Trainiert, aber aufgrund eines kurz bevor stehenden Umzugs ... muss alles schnell gehen. Sie fangen jetzt an die Blüten raus zu hauen. Mega schöne Pflanzen worauf ich mich schon sehr freue. Bleibt dran und sehr mehr ... I would have loved to train them, but due to an upcoming move... everything has to happen quickly. They're starting to produce flowers now. They're incredibly beautiful plants, and I'm really looking forward to them. Stay tuned and see more...

Week 3 flowering for the Oreoz from super sativa seeds club All seems to go well, some defoliation to keep these bud sites in the light and for the rest we continue with just water using biotabs, we do adjust the water to around 6.5 PH Basically the rest of maintenance is done, we will just let her go until end of life, im soon adding the first PK booster tea

This week went well, She is growing well, and I am planning to transplant her in about a week and a half to her final home which will be a 5.2 gallon airpot. Very excited to get her into her final home, and let her roots stretch out, but still working on building a solid root mass. Thanks for stopping by, be safe, and Blaze on!
