Black Muffin Harvest Report The Black Muffin Monster really impressed me. She grew into a beautiful and strong plant with dense, resinous buds and an amazing aroma. Unfortunately, I suspect she developed a fungal infection, probably Fusarium, which forced me to remove about four side branches. Still, the rest of the plant stayed healthy and finished strong. Overall, I’m very happy with the results and excited to see how she turns out after drying and curing. It was a great experience despite the challenges.

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)

Quest'anno si comincia col botto! Come buon proposito dell'anno nuovo mi sono deciso a metter mano ad un vecchio cassone che c'è in casa mia (prima era una base per un acquario). Ora sarà tut'altro >:D Dopo aver fatto una bella ricerca e raccolta di semi, averli testati e messi alla prova, mi sono finalmente convinto a fare questa benedetta veg box. L'altro box era un 80x80x160, perfetto per la fioritura. Questo invece è un 60x100x80, un box più slim del mio e sdraiato, riesco a dividere lo spazio per tenere madre e cloni contemporaneamente :) Per il momento sto ospitando alcune piante di un amico, piante che dovevano avere dimora in un comodo 120x120 ma che ora sono tutte stipate come sardine a casa mia per le prossime settimane. Mi sto prendendo cura di loro: mi assicuro che germoglino per bene (vedi la girl scout cookies e la runtz in serra), trapianto quando necessario, e mi occupo delle mie bambine personali, la banana sherbet e la critical 707. Piccola curiosità: quando mi ha portato le piantine, stavano tutte a 1 settimana di vita, alcune appena germinate, e ho notato che la bruce banner 3 ha prodotto un gemello! Due germogli da un seme! Sono riuscito a dividerli con successo e mi terrò il gemellino sfortunato per cercare di riportarlo in forze. Al momento ci sono 10 piante in totale: 5 automatiche (tutte del mio amico) e 5(+1) femminizzate (3 mie ,2 del mio amico e 1 in fase di germinazione). Vorrei provare a fare un clone di Monster Skittlez, visto che ha delle foglie particolarmente strane e arricciate (in inglese si dice "webbed" se non sbaglio)... indagherò! Saluti a tutti dal caprone Alpine Goat

Day 36 1/18/22 - Doubled in height last week! raised lights 7 inches above manufacturer recommendation. Gonna try to stretch the ladies a bit this week. I feel I have the watering part down as I water slowly and (now) I feel the bottom of the cloth pots to make sure I got it down all the way. Day 37 - a little more LST as I was late to the party of understanding just how important LST, and other techniques, are to increasing your yield. Once you do LST the first time it becomes completely obvious that this is necessary. Plants now need water at different times so I will no longer be documenting when I water. Also I think I correctly diagnosed a wind burn issue and therefore have raised the offending fan a bit. Day 39 - Noticing a little yellowing on some of the leaf tips and found a little more of what I'm calling wind burn on another plant. I moved one of the fans, set the lights back to 75% intensity, and lowered them back to about 20 inches above tops (Mars says 18 inches). I think the ladies will like this better than 3 Mars TS1000's at full intensity inside a 4x4x66 tent (450W total). Note - I'm struggling a bit with temps in this small room. Hard to keep the tent under 80. Then at night the substrate gets down to 66 along with the room temps. So, during the day, when it gets too warm inside the tent, I open the doors and things are OK again. This is not a long term solution cause I can't be opening and closing it every day. Plus it's winter and the outside temps go into the 20's (F) at night. Run the AC in winter? No way. I can't imagine what I'll have to do when outside temps go into the upper 90's every day. So what is the long term solution you say? I've just about made up my mind to do away with the tents and dedicate the entire room for growing. I see myself growing 12 of the same or similar ladies per grow - one grow at a time and I can only fit these if the tents go. I'm currently figuring out what is involved besides grabbing an AC unit and venting it and the room up into the attic. That is what I'm thinking at the moment. Day 41 - upped my game cause I knew that I could not be accurate using my current ph testing solution. Could only get kinda close maybe sorta. So I picked up a BlueLab PH pen (recommended by the "420 Scene"). Long story short it looks like I've been feeding the ladies something near 7.0. Now I am able to get 6.3 or 6.4 consistently. Maybe I want to be at 6.5. Not sure so I'm going for 6.3 +/- 1 for now. Hoping they like it better! Day 42 - life is good. This was a fun week!

Day 43 : Watering with co2 tab / 5L. Also added food again because i think they need it. Increased ppm to 850. Maybe the next one will be pure water. Ventilation works all the time when lights are on. Temp and humi are stable and this is good for the girls. she still grows. Patience is the key always. Also removed some burned leaves from all ladies. Edit (Day 47) : Watering with co2 tab every 5L. I watered with juices again at 850ppm because i felt that they need it. Only DsD drank pure water because of burns. All ladies enjoy this bright sun for sure. I have a very good combination of sprectrums. Cree cobs are in 3000k and HPS at 2000k.

Nous voilà déjà au 26e jour, et mes plantes semblent vraiment bien s'en sortir. J'ai expérimenté un LST un peu audacieux, juste pour voir. Je n'ai pas effectué de defoliation Je suis passé à de l'engrais en mode pré-floraison jusqu'à arrêt de l'étirement auquel cas je passerai en l'engraissement en floraison pure. À présent, je vais les laisser tranquilles et croiser les doigts pour que la préfloraison au 19e jour ne soit pas suivie de petits ennuis avec des plants de petites tailles 🙏🤞 🌱

So apparently my camera does not seem to know what shade green it wants to use. Red Pop #4 is without a doubt the strangest specimen in the group. It is displaying what appears to be polyploid traits in one of its tops. Along with a strange trait displayed by the petioles in attaching to the main stem in a vertical manner causing leave to grow vertically instead of horizontally. It also needs far more nutrients than the rest as it has grown much larger despite bending the main stem 90 degrees at two seperate points. Red pop #2 is a midget and has grown very weak. On a more positive note, I have fixed my humidity issue and now average around 55%. Airflow was the issue. not enough air intake into the tent. Silly me.

Everything lookin and smellin good. Found a random macaw hanging out under one of my gelatos in the middle of my garden and finally got a pic of my other buddy kermit the toad. Poor bird was extremely thirsty and hungry and dont look to b in great shape. 😞😟 lucky i caught em cause he tried to leave after he drank his fill.

Started flush. Mostly white trichs with small amount of amber. Will harvest on Wednesday and hang them up in an open tent. Will wet trim the big leaves and let dry for 7 days then cure for three weeks. If I learned anything from this grow is to defoliate the lower buds more. My canopy was great but I had a lot unusable immature bud. This is my third grow using my A.B.L.E. Grow Chamber and it was the best. Hoping to get about 5 ounces worth of dried bud.

The plant is male, I barely got to the desired shapes and it made such a terrible surprise to me, it smelled very good orange but disappointed me. I was eliminated in the championship in which I participated.

⛽ The Diesel Autoflower did amazing! She developed extremely resinous buds with a very loud aroma of sweet diesel and I am pleased with how fast she finished. You barley touch this thing and your fingers are glued together. I'm very happy with the results from the Aircube active oxygen hydroponic system from Grow Ace. I emptied the reservoir every other week alternating from filtered tap water PH at 6.5 to a Mild kelp and molasses solution aka Trinity from Roots Organic. I mixed in Bio bloom from Greenhouse Feedings at the beginning of flower. The Bio bloom, Trinity, and Aircube together did all the work for me. I didn't do anything but change the reservoir out every other week! Super easy and highly effective hydroponic system here! 💦 If you want more information on my Aircube check out my link to there website where you can see more details!

El día 8 de de marzo se realizo el cambio de fotoperiodo a 12/12 Esta semana hemos notado un crecimiento explosivo y notorio de las variedades green gelato de RQS. Aun no tenemos la aparición de los primeros pistilos pero en si la planta ya formando sus ápices y buenas estructuras para las flores que están por venir. Además dejamos de aplicar green grow de Quemanta para pasar de lleno a los nutrientes correspondientes a la fase de floración Blue bloom Purple mac Gold sunshine Veremos como se desarrollan esta semana tras el gran crecimiento post cambio a 12/12

starting to grow normally after recovery. Will be doing more LST and FIM'ing the near future. Hopefully wont need much more veg time. Going to try and stimulate growth this week with some natural products
