After the first update of the “Testrun of the new Setup!” grow, things have started to settle in nicely. The plants have recovered from the early establishment phase and are now putting their energy into building structure, stacking branches, and filling out the canopy. The differences between the genetics are already becoming very obvious. The two larger plants are clearly taking control of the room: * Rainbow Melon (top left in the overview) * Nectar (bottom center) Both are showing vigorous vegetative growth with strong lateral branching and healthy leaf development. The canopies are becoming increasingly dense, and the internodal spacing remains tight, which is exactly what I was hoping to see in this setup. Meanwhile, Something Good (top right) is developing at a slower pace. While noticeably smaller than the others, it remains healthy and continues to push new growth. Sometimes the slower starters end up becoming the most interesting plants later in flower, so I’m curious to see how this one evolves. Rainbow Melon Rainbow Melon is currently showing the most balanced structure in the tent. The plant has developed a wide, bushy profile with multiple strong tops emerging across the canopy. The leaves are broad and healthy with a rich green color, indicating that the living soil is doing its job. Branch development is strong, and the plant is responding well to the environment without showing signs of stress. At this stage, the goal is simply to keep opening the canopy and allowing light to reach the interior growth sites. If she keeps this pace, she should become a serious producer once flowering begins. Nectar Nectar is proving to be the powerhouse of the run so far. The plant has exploded with vegetative growth and is building a very dense canopy. The top-down view really shows how aggressively she is filling her space. New growth is vibrant and vigorous, and the branching structure suggests she will respond extremely well to further training. Defoliation and canopy management will likely become more important over the next couple of weeks to maintain airflow and prevent overcrowding. For now, though, she’s looking exactly like the kind of plant that can dominate a room if given enough space. Something Good The smallest plant of the group is still finding its footing. Compared to Rainbow Melon and Nectar, Something Good is developing at a much slower pace, but the growth remains healthy and symmetrical. The leaf color looks good, the stem structure is strengthening, and fresh shoots continue to emerge. Rather than chasing size, the focus here is simply maintaining healthy growth and allowing the root system to establish itself. There is still plenty of time for this plant to surprise me later in the cycle.

Here is where I'm at for week 10. It includes a short tent tour and shows my other plant which is the same strain but 2 weeks younger.

Growing in progress :)

The plants are large enough for low stress training I also decided to add advanced nutrients three-component fertilizer ph perfect As you can see in the photo Strawberry Gorilla develops better lower branches than Gorilla Zkitllez probably wasn't a greenhouse so dirty or maybe better genetics I noticed that some plants are small and undeveloped, and I saw holes and moles It was clear that something was eating the roots of the plant from below While working on low stress training, a mole ran out of the hole and started burrowing to another plant I really like animals, but I had to quickly decide what to do with the mole I pinned him to the ground with my foot and stuck a stick behind his head :( that I have as a support for low stress training I'm very sorry for the mole, I've never killed such a big animal... May mother earth forgive me... The next day I saw a vole crawling into a hole near a plant, so I decided to buy a mouse trap I put a carrot in the trap and the hunt was successful I am the alpha predator in my garden... At the same time, while digging holes, I saved about 20 caterpillars that fell down and could not climb out It turned out that caterpillars are a very rare butterfly that almost never occurs I really like butterflies, when I take a picture of them on my plants I attach a photo from last season

Week 9 the flushing begins! Divine storm 1 & 2 are both looking happy and healthy. Frosty ladies with a unique smell. Excited for harvest, in the next 4-5 days. Thanks for stopping by growfessors! 👽🌳🔥

Beginning 3rd week of flowering

I had to defoliate major part of the leaves, due to week lights that I have. She wasn't getting light at the bottom down. Hope she recover

Honestly not much to say about the dry and trim, which is definitely a good thing. 12 days hanging in the tent, and the plants were ready to trim. me & the Mrs. absolutely sailed through it. Stores like a dream, and smokes the same. Not a crazy amount of flavour, but the aroma that it has is lime and cream. And the taste is more earthy and spicy. Loving and savouring every bit of it. Sorry I’m very late with this, but I’ve been busy getting my next plants started! You should see them come up soon, as I’m quite behind in my posting. I’m very happy! 🤟💚

Soaked 7.27 for 36ishhrs, into paper towel for 12 hrs then into a solo cup with greentree garden supply pro ultra (coco/perlite). No plan on veg time I dont know when I'll have an open tent for flower but it could be a very quick veg kinda pheno hunt deal. First feed was a diluted leftover feed from my auto youngins. Basically about 1 ml/g of grow, 7ml/g humid acid, 1ml/g more roots, 1ml/g orca, cannazyme, hydroguard and a sprinkle of living organics in the nutes and on the top of the coco. Usually the ppm will be higher than I want it so I just dilute with r/o water until I'm down to 200-250. It makes it so I cant be accurate on ratios so that's why I'm tellin ya, but it's how I always do it no matter what nutes I use.

Update the to a 4x8 this week and added a HLG 300 V2 RSpec with the futur vert FM8 flora max 660watts pumping 960 watts now .. Every thing is stacking up an fattening up beautiful in week 4 , The frost is coming out like a snow storm now in to week 5 flower ... I’m very impressed with the bud size on the slurricane ix this early on !!

Still see nitrogen toxicity so im going cut biogrow down to half dose and see how it goes! Besides that all looks well Smells are stepping it up in a couple pheno! On the Chocolate Marshmallow side we have a intense sour fruity pebbles on a pheno that is just unreal And on the double d side we have some rotten tooth chem smells coming through!

Let’s dry at 18C 55% Humidity for 2 weeks! Finished with 137g after drying and trimming.

Dam she is such a quick flowering lady I can't believe it .. and the smell allready comming off the stem after a slight rub is very good in excited for this baby and it's the first time I grow her outdoors so this will be good .. She has the best colour on her buds

She's done!!!!!!! Very frosty!! 😍

Die Blütenphase hat begonnen. Mal schauen wie weit die sich strecht. Sie sieht ganz gut aus. Blüten Dünger werde ich ab nächster Woche geben. Ein bisschen vom Hesi Boost auch um zu starten. Ansonsten gibt es nicht viel zu sagen. Kleiner Topf, nicht grosse Erwartungen aber gespannt auf das Ergebniss 🙌🏼

Week 8 begins! Grandaddy Bruce is doing great, nice buds super frosty, sticky, heavy and dense. I continue to be impressed by this light and how this plant has grown under it.

Greetings one and all, welcome back to my garden. Another week and STACKING is the operative word. I’m seeing some more potential in the last few weeks for this San Francisco sourdough. I’ve gone in a couple times, removing larf and umbrella leaves to get that extra bit of light through the plant. Impressive results thus far from the Shogun Nutrients range. She seems to be thriving, showing no symptoms or negative signs since day one. I should have added PATIENCE to the list of operative words…

This cherry bomb is crushing it on all fronts. The smell is epic citrus berry. I’ve got her on a drip line now, with two 2gal/hr emitters running for 5 mins a couple of times a day. Can’t wait to watch the buds really fill in now.

Thursday, July16th. Solocup Challenge 2020. @Silky_smooth asked me to Participate. and well why not Iam always open to new Challenges, And I think It will be challengeing. Never grown in a Solocup Before So Iwas thinking a While wich Strains i should take, And i decided to take good growers and resiliant ones. I´ve chosen 3 Strains , 1 Photoperiod and 2 Automatics "AK 47 Autoflower" from Weedseedexpress I started like always in soaking the Seed I took a Bavarian Beerjug called "a hoibe Maß" its a 0.5l Beerjug I am thinking about tthe Drainage Material i should take Claypebbles? Claygranules? Mesh? Perlite=? So Pls tell me what you prefer,,,, thy Friday Seed went under a wet Kitchensponge Saturday Seed cracked Sunday Girls were Planted. I took Claypebbles and let them soak and wash them alittle then into the Jug and some additional Perlite Filled uo with my Soilmix and " Living Organics" Some drips of water.... done
