Harvested Plant #2 and Plant #3 at 11 weeks. Still have #4 and #5 to go. They are just about ready. Been waiting until the leaves turn purple. These plants have been flushing for weeks because I thought they were going to be done sooner, but they haven't missed a beat. They have a very strong, sweet smell. I highly recommend Cobbler Crisp!!!

I ended up running these plants a total of 60 days. Topped each plant 2-3 times. Once flipped to flower the plant does not stretch much. The final product is dense, sticky, frosty buds with a fruit punch and piney gas aroma. Yield for this pheno is above average, but I highly recommend trying to get a top in every trellis hole to get maximum yield. Overall I pulled a little over 3lbs off of 16 plants. Notes: Room size: I'm not sure what to put as grow room size below... room was 8x8x6.7 Gram per watt: Gram per watt per plant doesn't seem to be the best measure in my opinion as it would encourage you to grow fewer plants with longer veg times to get the same yield. Unless I'm missing something? The actual power draw from the wall for each light is = 355watts per 315 LEC x 4 = 1420 watts in Flower. The yield was 1380 grams which makes the total Gram/Watt ration = 0.9718 ***Sorry for the shitty pics... my phone camera is still shit right now and these are all the pics I could get at the moment.

MACs Week2/flower Went smooth with a lot of stretching an got a leaf strip at end of week2. All plants are blooming with pre flowers an are stacking very nicely as expected. Two on the right are taller then the left side. That idk why but flower formation is on par on all 4. The plant confront of the fan has wind burn. I relocated the fan up more away from directly hitting it. Plants have been topdress with 1tsb of uprisings bloom to each plant an watered with 6.0ph r/o water. The growers choice ROi-e680s Light is full 100% now again an setup on a 40dli 12/12 schedule at mid sites an 45-48dli tops sites @20in away from tops. Whole grow with sunrise/sunset function. Thanks for viewing an happy growing everyone.

This week was a quiet week to avoid disturbing the beginning of flowering. I think the deficiencies are under control and there's no worsening to fear. Nevertheless, I will need to remain vigilant. The plant is starting to smell.

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 itโ€™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 10โ€ distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. Itโ€™s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. Itโ€™s been noted for the next run๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž. 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 weโ€™ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner๐ŸคŸ. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and weโ€™re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run๐Ÿค™๐Ÿ˜Ž. I love hardware mode๐Ÿ˜‰. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is lookโ€™n quite saucy ๐Ÿ˜ˆ. Weโ€™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 ๐Ÿ”ฅ. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...๐Ÿ˜‰. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasnโ€™t really big on the list but we havenโ€™t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go๐Ÿ‘. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that weโ€™ve been trying to get to for months. Letโ€™s just hope that sheโ€™s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro๐Ÿ‘Š. 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, weโ€™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 youโ€™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, sheโ€™s goโ€™n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors Iโ€™ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesnโ€™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 port๐Ÿ‘.

Closest comparable to it that Iโ€™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 strobing๐Ÿ‘. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. Thatโ€™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 Iโ€™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 wouldnโ€™t be considered an โ€œentry-levelโ€ fixture, Iโ€™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 thereโ€™s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture๐Ÿ‘. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures donโ€™t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. Iโ€™ve seen no issue myself but confess - Iโ€™m no lighting guru.

We got unlucky this week... We were gone for a short vacation over the weekend. We came back late int the night on Sunday. Looking inside the tent, the leaves on one bud of Middleman looked weird. When we saw that at first, I was pretty sure that we have bud rot. However there was no energy left in us to do anything with the plants. So we took a closer look the next day. On Monday, checking with the lights on, the bud on Middleman looked bad. We opened it up, revealing mold in the early to mid stages of Botrytis. Looking back, there were signs of this on the day we left, but unluckily we didnt notice it. Funny enough, this was actually my favorite shoot out of all plants, since it looked so good overall and I looked at this particular shoot more than any other :/. We keep it going. Other buds look good for now and we dont have long to go.

Had a couple of the stems which were almost drooping on the ground due to the weight of the buds, so decided to harvest those two branches today. Also, this week I did a bit more research on when to harvest. I had been waiting for the trichomes to begin to turn amber, but after reading this article: https://www.growweedeasy.com/harvest, I decided to harvest when the trichomes were cloudy. Experts say that the amber trichomes give a more relaxing effect, but I was growing this plant for daytime use. Looked at it under my digital microscope and decided to pull the trigger on the whole plant. Plus, the neighbors were starting to notice the smell. Final height - 104" - 8 1/2 feet - 2.64 meters. Not good. Was concerned that someone would hop the fence and pilfer my plant. Harvested her at 35 weeks - 281 days. Grow diaries really needs to expand the weeks available for us outdoor growers. Started her indoors in Feb. Transplanted outside on April 7th.

2022-12-22 I love growing Solocups, Because you learn soooo much. If you manage that Grow, you can grow everything. This thime i ad alot of Medium ( around 0,5l), and for me it was quite easy to keep them happy. I was watering them every day with a " light" Feedingsolution. Plants stayed happy and turned out very well seems i forgot to take Pictures of the second Skull in a Plasticup- but yeah the Glassvessel ( Skull) is the Mainattraction

#43 clones are maturing too fast I feel. Especially that a mother is ripening normally. I would guess itโ€™s because of poor rooting. Itโ€™s the only difference. I keep runoff at around 3 max. Around week 5 the runoff ph started to drop below 6. Even towards 5.5. Both in rockwool and coco.
