Been doing a lot of tweaking with the new gear and multiple sets of plants. Been quite a busy week and probably behind a bit on keeping track of everything. I'm currently working on trying to get better charts made to keep track of things like light schedules, detailed feedings, height change per day, etc.
My current setup is my oldest 1st set of plants (5plants) and my 3rd set (6 seedlings), in my new 4x4 Vivosun grow tent equipped with a Spider Farmer SF-1000.
I have kept my 2nd set of plants (4plants) in my original 4x2 Vivosun equipped with 600W Vivosun LED. These plants had been extremely stressed due to not having soil or containers available with shipping constraints. They've been doing a lot better since then and I'm hoping they make a full recovery. Fingers crossed!
Running 24hr light schedule.
Both tents equipped with temp/hygro high and low ranging from about 71-81°F with an average of about 78°F.
Watering by plant pot weight, according to GH FloraTrio + CalMag Schedule.
Mild LST via tucking of leaves blocking developing sites. No more than 3 leaves removed per plant, per day to avoid stress.

Can't wait to start upgrading the quality of my journals and to hear you all's feedback! Happy growing and good vibes as always 🌱

4/29/20 - Update
Okeydoke! Feel like I've been doing too much running around everywhere. Sorry for being so hectic the past week or so if anyone has been keeping up with this 😂
For the time being, I'm currently running all three sets of my plants in my 4x4 tent. It's running all three of my fans, both lights and has the carbon filter system and humidifier hooked up to it as well. I basically have the other 4x2 just sitting as a shell for the moment. Either planning to save it for climate control when curing the first harvest or sell it to invest in another Spider Farmer SF-1000 LED or equivalent and possibly another 4x4 tent.
I have started a grow chart that's still a little sketchy but if nothing else having it here hells me keep up with it that much better.

The most current batch of nutrient mixes for was made this morning about (2am 4/29/20) for the 1st and second set of plants.
The first set of plant's nutrients was made to 4gal of water. The mix is a ratio of
(Cal-Mag/GHMicro/GHGro/GHBloom)
It's mixed (for the 4gal) in order; 10mL, 5mL, 10mL, 10mL.
440ppm @ 98.5°F
890EC @ 2.2°F us/cm
This new nutrient mix was applied for the first time tonight and will run about a week. I'm running a bit behind according to the GH schedule I was following due to stunting the growth I felt like over a couple issues to where I have them an extra week of veg nutrients. As I have defoliated them and they have seemed to take it pretty well, I'm hoping the increase in bloom nutrients will kick the buds into overdrive for production and the plants will start to thicken up again.
The second mix follows the same order as the first set in regards to nutrient usage. This mix is only mixed to one gallon. It as follows; 2.5mL, 2.5mL, 1.25mL, 2.5mL.
500ppm @ 98.6°F
992EC @ 0.4°F us/cm
This is mostly following the same GH nutrient schedule as the first set only about 2 weeks behind. These plants suffered from being in too small of containers for too long and I believe this stunted their growth. I've had them in suitable new containers for a couple days now and hoping this new mix of increased nutrients will bring them back to life a bit and get them back in schedule.
I'm honestly not too sure still about the ppm and EC numbers but a few bud-dies have mentioned that it plays important roles in plant health. So until I can better research good numbers and how to control it for my set up, I'm at the very least trying to keep track of the data.
I apologise about this large chunk of text! I hope you enjoy the diary anyway in spite of the fact. I'm loving the look of the buds and everything seems to be going great. Only a few months to go! 😎

The front left one is some clear mostly cloudy a few amber
The rest are some clear mostly cloudy no amber
They reak of sweet gassy and very tropical citrusy. They have been getting 1000-1600 ppfd since week 4 .
The tops are rock hard but still have some softness to them. I think I’ll harvest day 60-63 we shall see

Overall, everything seems to be going very well at the moment. The plants are growing faster than ever and the space on the sides is getting cramped. We still have plenty of space for them to stretch, but the upcoming week will probably be the last one in veg before we'll switch to 12/12. The roots of the plants already reached the bottom of their fabric pots.
Topping:
We decided to top the three largest plants (2x PCK, 1x Gelato). This was only done because we wanted the smaller gelato (top left) to catch up a little. I'm curious how that will work out.
If all the plants had been the same size, we probably wouldn't have done it, because the space at the sides is already tight.
Lamp distance:
As the plants grew, we forgot to adjust the lamp distance until the distance was slightly below 30 cm. The upper leafs are currently looking a little stressed as a result, but it is not too bad. Right now the distance to the lamp is 50cm.
Fungus Gnats:
We added some sf-nematodes to the soil to get rid of fungus gnats. It is unclear where the gnats came from and it could be completely unrelated to the grow. However, we gave the nematodes to all plants so it does not become a bigger problem.

Afghan Bullet is in preflower hairs are starting to develop as new growth is thinner which you can see the pictures. My inside grow is a variety of Divine seeds and Royal Queen Seeds. All are receiving the same nutrients and but slightly diluted for the autos. Both RQS Milky Way and Medusa) and Divine Seeds Opium show the same nutrient deficiency/excess in the leaves. Divine Bullet and Escobar do not reflect the nutrient issue indicating strong genetics.
Thank you @DivineSeeds for the opportunity to participate in the auto grow contest.
Thanks for the visits, likes and comments; I appreciate all the plant love💚.
Have fun & love what you grow 💚

Auto Afghan Bullet is a silent farewell to arms, because this potent Indica eliminates aggression, turns talk into smiles. To create a potent and productive day-neutral strain we crossed Afghan Original with ruderalis, then several back-crossings with the parent strain followed… and Auto Afghan Bullet was born – a stable and potent hashy Indica with sticky buds of exactly the same shape and size, like a pack of ammo! Best Indica for novice growing, this strain satisfies any experienced growers’ demands as well. Its outstanding resin rate and rare adaptivity make Auto Afghan Bullet one of a kind.
Small-sized, Afghan Bullet Day-Neutral is highly recommendable for indoor and stealth growing. However, it flourishes in outdoor plantations just as well as in greenhouses and hydroponic setups – this strain is quite universal and undemanding. For more yields Auto Afghan Bullet plants should be trained using non-stress methods like LST or ScroG. Absolutely no transplantation can be advisable for this cannabis. Producing a pungent hashy stench, this oriental bush can defend itself against insect parasites, being also just as resistant to heat. Insufficient watering certainly doesn’t work in favor of heavy yielding, however this strain is more likely to survive and thrive in dry conditions. Ready for outdoor harvesting in August.
Classical stone effect of Afghani Indica attacks users with a deep and prolonged relaxation. For any stress this earthy smoke is a deadly shot, successfully eliminating obsessive thoughts, irritation, nausea, chronic pains, insomnia and muscle spasms. Beware: Afghan Bullet Day-Neutral lowers your blood pressure and restricts your motion (lower dosages do it to a smaller extent). Indica is not broadly regarded as recreational cannabis, but activities that require mild muscles and stable attention may benefit from Auto Aghan Bullet impact, especially speaking of stretching, yoga or certain hobbies associated with concentration. Best consumed at night time. The effects last for up to 2 hours.

DIVINE SEEDS
***AUTO OPIUM***
Harvest:1000 g/m2
Divine Seeds developed Opium as a new champion strain, unprecedently powerful and loaded with unbelievable quantities of resin. Certainly, no average genetic base could be behind such brilliant parameters! Several Afghani Indica landraces, recognized as most potent and resinous, were bred together with a mighty Brazilian Sativa which Opium inherits its bright berry taste from. Then a great deal of work followed aiming for the highest THC level and endurability as well as a branchy structure that would provide maximal yields. Now we can proudly title Opium the best Indica you could dream of growing!
Indoors these plants mostly stay mid-height (1.5 m), reaching up to 2.0 m out of doors. Depending on your height limitations, Opium flourishes universally in grow boxes, balconies, green houses and terraces. Due to its Afghani parentage, this strain can stand hot weather if provided enough water and some shadow. Responds well to any training techniques: ScroG and SoG, LST, topping and FIM, supercropping. The start of blooming is marked with a rush of growth, when plants stretch almost 1.4x. Expect heavy colas that often require additional supports. Whilst ripening, Opium gives off a pungent earthy stench with fruity and berry undertones, also a bit of pine. Ready for outdoor harvesting in October.
The stoning psychedelic impact of Opium is like being hypnotized (unless you’ve had too much, then it feels more like a blackout). Stone-lovers will appreciate every minute with Opium: its spicy taste immerses your mind into daydreaming, while the body rests flat. Recreation with this psychedelic Indica means silent tripping from one insight to another. Mighty enough to kill chronical pains, Opium is also medically efficient against insomnia, nausea, appetite disorders, muscle spasms, headaches, irritation, fatigue, panic attacks, epilepsy. Best consumed at night time, the effects keep going for up to 4 hours.

The hermaphroditic of the two S.A.D.s has stopped, in total it remained at 4x 🍌
Since 5 days no more were added and I could already observe via my timelapse recordings how the flowers continue to grow.
The Bruce Banner also shows no further deterioration in terms of potassium deficiency, the flowers continue to grow steadily.
Although the S.A.D.'s were fertilized identically, neither of them show any major deficiency.
Also interesting how S.A.D. #4 has overtaken her sister and her smell is not "grassy" at all. Something between floral with a sweet citrus/orange note.
What also surprised me was that the Bruce Banner is already very far along in the development of its trichomes, many are already milky!

Progress and Observations
In week 6 of flowering, my plants are displaying significant development. The buds are swelling noticeably, and resin production is increasing, filling the grow area with a rich aroma.
Weather Conditions and Plant Health
Unfortunately, the weather in Germany has turned to consistent rain over the next five days, which is less than ideal for the final growth phase. To protect the plants, I've moved them into the greenhouse full-time. This controlled environment shields them from adverse weather conditions, ensuring stable conditions for continued growth.
Pest Management
I'm pleased to report minimal pest issues thus far. Nightly patrols continue to manage the snail population effectively, supported by lettuce leaf traps. There have been no signs of spider mites, aphids, or thrips, providing relief. With the ongoing rainy weather, I remain vigilant against potential snail problems.
Low-Stress Training (LST) Update
The plants I trained with LST have responded positively and continue to develop well. I did some more LST to maximize light to the colas. The canopy remains even, and the bud sites are receiving ample light, allowing for a slight upward stretch to maximize bud growth during these final weeks of flowering. I try not to cut off any fan leaves because I think they're here for a reason. I like to tug them behind the steam or the side branches. Only if the leaves show significant signs of illness or pest then I remove them.
Looking Ahead
As we move further into the flowering stage, my focus will be on maintaining optimal conditions to maximize bud development and resin production. I am also diligently monitoring the humidity levels in the greenhouse, as this is crucial for preventing mold growth. The plants are looking promising, and I’m excited to see how they progress in the coming weeks.
Update 03.07
What is noticeable is that both untrained plants are entering the full flowering mode faster than the trained ones. Have you had similar experiences?
Update 05.07
Today I checked the girls and found the Banana purple punch with the top leaves starting to curl down. After asking the community I found out that everything looks like a starting nitrogen toxicity. But only on that plant. Seems kind of strange that the others having no issues at all despite having the same amount of nutes. I decided to treat the symptoms a once so I flushed with 5l PH water. The first runoff was a little lower (5.5 / EC 1.09) but not really concerning.
Afterwards I give the plant the half amount of the tripart flowering scheme (with added CalMag 2 ml/l PH 6.2).
Thanks again to AsNoriu and Hashy
Stay tuned for updates and like always, feel free to give feedback about things I can improve🍀🥦

Doing ok. Hard to battle humidity even though I have dehu and ac running . It’s 25 degrees and raining outside. some botrytis is showing up. Already ordered some particulate filters for air recuperators.
Botrytis spores are supposedly 4 microns large or more. These filters are supposed to catch particulates smaller than one micron. Lets see if it helps stop the grey mold fucking bullshit.

had big bud over the weekend, The soil was very dry when I came in on Monday so give it 2 litres hopefully last the next day or 2. Still very tempted to defoliate but unsure if it is the right time or what to remove.
Decided to try and defoliate it a bit. see if it has any impact. still a bit worried about things like this what wiht it being my first plant

Looking good so far.
Might do a little more defoliation where growth is covering bud sites, other than that it's just cruise control.

I installed a PH controller but it didn't work right and only the ph up peristaltic pump is working. I will use this over my vacation as my PH drifts down naturally so this should work until i get a replacement. I watered in my gsc and other seedlings until runoff with 850 ppm heavy in nitrogen to green them up as the organic top dressing is taking too long.will see how they respond.on week 4 day 4 They are responding well to nitrogen Gsc is taking off!!!will continue nitrogen until end of this week as needed.
