Greetings my dear Jungletamers, So a major surprise came when @MarsHydroLED contacted us and asked if would like to try out their new SP 3000 light. Being a fan of Mars Hydro for years, we of course accepted their offer. We are totally in love with this light. I was when I saw it in another grower's setup and was in awe of its output and results. So with much pride and thankfulness for the presents the Universe bestowed on us, in the form of MarsHydroLEDS offer and the bountiful harvest of the last grow, (which I am thoroughly enjoying btw, such a great weed to have grown ourselves) we start out on a new adventure that we can't wait to share with you. With many lessons learned from the previous grow, a mighty producing strain in the form of Expert Seeds Gorilla Glue #4, a.k.a Expert Gorilla's and a tweaked super soil mixture, we are setting out to hopefully get over a gram per watt, preferably 1.5. The Setup A 4.5 (140 cm) x 2(70) x 6.2 (200) grow tent, giving me a .98 m2 workspace. This space is customized to my needs. A standing fan will provide airflow through the whole grow, a top fan will help guide cooler air past my lights onto the grow. 3 56 ltr pots will be the home for the plants when they are 2 weeks old, up to then in smaller jars. The Light The leading role and star of the show will be played by the Mars Hydro SP-3000, so kindly provided by MarsHydroLED, which we will test and review here and I might say, endorse. I'm very careful with who I endorse and support these days, but a company with that many wins in design, I'm talking ever since their first range came out in 2009 these guys have been raising the bar for the whole industry, I did not hesitate to support this leading brand. If you want to compete with these guys, you better bring some quality AND affordable pricing. Why do I endorse the SP-3000 without ANY hesitation? It is seriously THE BEST light on the market in this price range and size group. It has an enormously effective output in U/Mol and with 30% less energy waste comparing to older LED lights. Prove me wrong! And with a company holding a considerable market share selling thousands of units every month, competing on price and quality, one would think that customer service would suffer. Of course, also Mars Hydro is not perfect, but check the sheer amount of people that not only praise the light but also the service received, should the light somehow not perform up to par. It is this dedication to their customer base that made this company have a fanbase... Yes, a fanbase with a website and a wiki. So if you are looking to buy new lights, check out the END OF SUMMER OFFER at the Mars-Hydro Global Store on Aliexpress: https://marshydroled.aliexpress.com/ 👈 Check their offers but also their score, they ship from a warehouse near you so you don't have the extra import fees!! Cut out the middleman and have a deal on these lights!! At the moment I write this in August 2021, the lights are 408,20 euro when sent from Germany to the rest of Europe, that's 40 euro cheaper than the other Mars outlets, BUT EVEN 60 euros cheaper than ordering at a grow store!! The Strain: Experts Seeds - Expert Gorilla feminized regular. Don’t let the name fool you because Expert Gorilla is suitable for growers of any skill level. However, you do need to be an experienced smoker because Expert Gorilla is one of the most potent strains on the market. Lineage: Chem Sis x Chocolate Diesel x Sour Dubb Popularity: Extremely Popular Flavor/Aroma Profile: Chocolate, Earthy, Fuel Yield: 400 g/m2 Stress Tolerance: High resistance to disease Potency: 24% THC Flowering time: 58 - 63 days The Soil: Those who saw my Monstercropped Gelato #33 grow (you should see it if you didn't, I'm so proud of that grow), know about my super soil and organic nutrients/ permaculture tea combo that starred in my previous diary. Because of the great results, we are going to use the same recipe, adjusted some more with some new ingredients that will complete the mix and give an even more sustained super soil buffer. 20% Atami Bi-grow (very similar to ocean forest) 20% Atami worm castings 20% Atami Coco Coir 10% Hydrocorn 10% Peat powder 1 cup Fossil seaweed chalk 1 cup bonemeal 1 cup bloodmeal 1 cup Microlife 3-4 teaspoons of epsom salt 3 cups of activated biochar (activated with our own permaculture tea) I just made layers, starting with hydro corn on the bottom to aid airflow/run-off. On this I started layering the coco coir, Bi-grow, peat, castings, and amendments in a way that the more mature the plants get, the more phosphorous and less nitrogen they will find. Every time I made three layers, I would mix them by hand. This way we simulate natural soil, which consists of humic layers, composting plant waste, fungal and microbial life, and nutrients from fossilized sources. The Nutrients I will start with just adding 6.4 PH water, although this soil should buffer ph itself and regulate, after 4 weeks, I'll slowly be adding: - Biobizz Grow - Plagron Alga Grow - Biobizz CalMag - Biobizz Flower - Plagron Alga Flower - Biobizz Topmax - Melasses The Tea Some of you might remember the permaculture tea from my previous grow, I have a short video in my harvest page showing how we make it), it will star again in this grow. - (Rain)water - Comfrey (whole plants) - Dandelion leaves - Roots and leaves from the earlier grow - Minor periwinkle (Finca minor) is a plant we have in our garden, it contains an alkaloid that is associated with increased brain function but also is a light toxin for wee beasties and other unwanted guests like gnats (who hate it). - When flowering I add some wood ash to this mix Thank you for checking in on one of my grows again! Thanks for all the love on my previous grow, check it out if you haven't seen it!! Hug Bud

Allora.... Questa settimana ha ripreso veramente tanto! La settimana scorsa era rimasta un po' indietro rispetto le sue amiche (diverse genetiche) ma adesso ha veramente dato il suo scatto è ha rivelato che è all'altezza delle sue compagne di crescita! Anche lei sembra che si stia iniziando a riempire bene e ho deciso di togliere qualche internodo centrale per favorire l'areazione ed evitare eventuali sorprese di muffe più in là( anche se non ho mai avuto problemi meglio prevenire che curare)...non vedo l'ora che si inizi a gonfiare un po' perché sono molto curioso di questa genetica! Ha un 29% di THC quindi dovrebbe essere adatta a me .... speriamo bene e incrociamo le dita! Nel frattempo volevo ribadire la potenza di questi prodotti di Cannaboom! Sto usando tutta la linea full cream (con qualche aiuto della linea minerale tipo il loro CALMAG(SI) ) che oltre ad essere un semplice Cal Mag contiene anche silicio e ferro! Veramente adatto a le piante per fare assimilare meglio potassio e fosforo! Credetemi che con solo due applicazioni ho potuto vedere delle differenze esuberanti! Infatti speromtanto di continuare a usare i loro prodotti perché mi stanno veramente aiutando a spaccare questa growbox da 100x100! Quindi ancora grazie a CANNABOOM! Un grande grazie speciale a tutto il team di anesia che mi ha fornito questa splendida nuovissima e potente genetica! Spero che piaccia come uscirà il diario! Ma alla fine ci saranno delle sorprese per tutti quindi rimanete sintonizzati! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Seguitemi anche su Instagram sul mio profilo curati_da_solo🔥🔥🔥🔥

ROYAL QUEEN CBG AUTO ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS WEEK #11 Overall WEEK #6 Flower This lady made some big dense buds and just looks amazing as she's coming to the end of her grow cycle I've had no issues with this CBG plant easy to grow and a nice producer!! Stay Growing!!! Royal Queen Seeds ROYAL QUEEEN CBG Auto

420 Fastbuds Week 5 Gorilla Punch Auto What up what up everyone. This week has been great for both plants. The bigger one has definitely transitioned into flower in hyperdrive it seems as it's flower sites are growing fast. Still no signs of issues on either plant. The smaller plant finally has started to stretch upward a bit this week. All in all I'll keep the same routine as it's working for these girls. Happy Growing

Day 44, 30th of October 2020: Here we go I am back from holiday this girl grew a lot. The first 6 pictures before LST and the rest is after picture. I switches the light to 12/12 from tomorrow and leave her in darkness for one day from now. She has got already some smell also... ;) I have ordered and extraction fan kit so with filter it will be used soon. Next week starts more intensive fertilization as well :) Let's start to flower hahaha :) Happy Smokes ;)

Empezamos su día 16 de floración con un buen puñado de nutrientes repartidos en dos tomas. Las plantas ya desprenden un ligero olor generalizado, hora de encender filtro y más potencia al extractor. Dentro de unos días dejarán de estirarse para centrarse en la producción de las colas, hasta entonces, haremos la última defoliación de bajos para dirigir la ventilación en ese punto, así, por mucha humedad que tengamos, jamás tendremos hongos. Feliz semana, buenos humos.

Hello Canna Fam😎 So the end of week 2 and the growth picked up as expected after the transplant except for the 1 lady which is having a very slow start. Nevertheless I topped the ladies except the auto and did some LsT to widen the canopy. Hope you all enjoy the update and keep growing ✌️🏼

Starting to bud up ok. Tied the branches to open up the plant & removed quite a few leaves that were being eaten up . I really like the structure of the plant, not to bushy. Ran some Clearex to flush the salts from the Pro-Mix. The terpenes have a nice pepper/spices profile. Started Big bud this week.

Today I give her first food as fish mix and bloom

So I decided to drop a berry cookie into DWC for ol time sake. Trying to squeeze one more grow in before the summer. Anyways she's been in her basket for a week now and she seems to be digging it so far. No roots showing yet but she's young yet. New growth coming in for sure so the roots are definitely growing just a long the basket and the clay pebbles. Probably getting adequate water for now but I'm sure by next week we'll be seeing some nice beautiful white roots!

Did another light defol, top dressed with 284,wc’s, and build a flower. I removed the trellis because I didn’t like not being able to move the girls around so I hope the silica does what it’s supposed to. The buds are starting to thicken up so stay tuned 🤞🏾

Hey Friends, end of week 7 from seed Plant#1 is growing big, its almost at the point i might need to purchase a bigger grow tent because its getting closer to the light and theres not much room left. - Increased the Amount of nutrition - In the beginning of the week, I increased the light to 250 lux x100 but after the 9th hr I saw a change in the plant, it looked very sad and the color was beginning to bleach so I decided to increase the light wattage for only 6 hrs at 250 Lux x100 and then 6 hrs at 150. So far its working, I will try to increase the light each day so the plant adapts to it. Thanks for all the support, will keep you guys updated, see you next week! Will buy some netting, “SCROG” Training for week 8

Die Pflänzchen sind aktuell immernoch am stretchen. Ich muss die Lampe nahezu jeden Tag weiter wegstellen. Alle sind absolut gesund, keine Anzeichen auf Spinnmilben, Nährstoffbrand oder ähnliches. Die Fächerblätter sind teilweise riesig. Gestern habe ich gegossen, die 30 Liter im Becken wurden innerhalb eines Tages aufgenommen. Ich hab aktuell (dem Sommer entsprechend) meine Lüftung auf dem Maximum plus Luftentfeuchter aber ich habe Probleme die Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit in Griff zu kriegen. Im Zelt selbst sind 3 Ventilatoren aufgebaut, ein oszilierender richtiger Ventilator und 2 Schreibtisch Mini Ventilatoren. Damit ich wenigstens die Luftzirkulation im Griff habe. Alles in allem etwas chaotisch aber trotz der nicht optimalen bedingungen explodieren die Pflänzchen förmlich.

Week 9 Watering in at 600ml, lowing temps to 22-20c (Mother Nature) starting to scope the trichomes almost completely cloudy very few amber.

The journey for this lady is over! She is huge and gorgeous, the buds seem rocks just by touching them!

So far so good they are starting to fill out the 1/2 and 1 gallon velcro transplant bags with roots very nicely. I still havent fed them any grow nutrients just some mammoth mycos,hardy gro ultra-bio and a liquid soil inoculant i got from ebay. I will them some NPK raw grow and cal/mag next week.
