Intermediate Results Overview This grow was intense! Setting up the grow consumed so much of my time and focus that I started slacking at work, and it took me a month to get back on track. But hey, what’s the point of a job if it gets in the way of growing? 😉 In the end, everything worked out, and I gained invaluable experience. This was my first grow using coco coir. At first, I didn’t get it, but then it just clicked! Now I’m hooked: "I’m here to stay." Coco is more controlled than soil, flushes easily, and you can introduce beneficial microbes, which thrive in it. My main takeaway from this grow? If you buy coco, don’t forget CalMag! Next time, I’ll definitely install HEPA filters at the intake. The amount of dust was insane, and the grow box pulls air like a vacuum cleaner. Watching the timelapse, you can see the box sucking in every bit of dust. I vacuumed the intake filters weekly. The plant was incredibly sticky, but that also meant it caught a lot of lint and fibers between trichomes, especially visible under a microscope. Smoking microplastics? No, thank you! --- On CO2 CO2 only works if everything else is dialed in. If the plant experiences stress from deficiencies or overfeeding, you can forget about it. Since CO2 supplementation requires turning off the exhaust fan, it’s hard to manage temperature and humidity. The plant releases so much moisture that RH jumps to 80% within minutes. It’s doable, but definitely a challenge. --- On Magnetic Fields No clue what’s happening here yet, but it’s fascinating! I’ll test again with a control sample. --- Nutrients Dreams do come true—I’ve tested almost everything Advanced Nutrients offers. It wasn’t all smooth sailing; their feeding charts need adjustments for your conditions, and you usually need to feed less than recommended. Overall, I’d say the nutrients performed 100%, and I see no reason to switch. I’ll stick with them for future grows. --- Strain This strain is reliable, though not the most productive. It flowered exactly as advertised and delivered a frosty finish. It tolerated all my mistakes like a champ—especially mold. Despite an abandoned SCROG plan turning the plant into a bouquet, there wasn’t a single mold spot, even in the densely packed lower buds that got almost no light. Zero mold issues! --- Aroma As advertised: pine, wood, and citrus. At first, I thought it smelled like grapefruit, but now I’m leaning toward bergamot. Bergamot with a classic weed aroma—a recognizable twist on the usual scent. During the grow, the smell was strong, but the carbon filter handled it perfectly. --- Flavor It’s too early to say, but the flavor is definitely there! Embarrassingly, all my past harvests tasted the same—like nothing. Just smoke. This one has a distinct sour taste. I’m excited to see how it develops after curing. --- Effect Too early for a full review, but I love what I’ve tried so far. The high lasts about three hours, with euphoria and relaxation. It’s the perfect evening strain. I’ve smoked a lot over the years, but I’ve never experienced true euphoria—until now. Guess I’ve been stuck with garbage and ditch weed before. 😅 It’s not a strain for productivity or chores, but it’s perfect for chilling, watching something, or chatting. No anxiety, just great vibes. It feels like having a beer after a long day: you relax, and life feels good again. --- Roots The roots were healthy—maybe too healthy! While the AirPot (20L) prevented root circling, it didn’t eliminate it entirely. There were dead zones at the bottom where roots circled around the perimeter. A dense root mat formed at the bottom (so dense you couldn’t poke a finger through it), which likely contributed to salt buildup. Breaking through that mat required more water, and I suspect this caused EC to spike 1.5x the next day if there was no runoff. Next time, I’ll mix some pumice with the substrate at the bottom, about 3–4 cm deep. --- Timelapse I only got the timelapse running after the switch to flowering, so it’s not from the beginning. Still, it’s an incredibly useful tool for understanding growth rates. I’ll definitely use it for future grows. Comparing yesterday to today is one thing, but rewinding a week to see how things were is game-changing. I recommend it! You can even use an old phone with a timelapse app if your camera doesn’t support it by default. --- What’s Next I’ve grown fat buds before, but I’ve always neglected curing. This time, I’m doing it by the book with full control. Drying in the grow box with RH controlled at 50–60% (averaging 55%) for a slow, even dry. Temps are kept between 20–23°C, with frequent venting to keep it below 21°C for terpene preservation. After 7–10 days, when small stems snap with a characteristic sound, I’ll trim and jar them with humidity sensors. For the first two weeks, I’ll burp the jars twice daily, then reduce to once daily for the next two weeks. After that, I’ll monitor the RH sensors and adjust as needed. I’ll share the details after curing is complete. After drying, I’ll weigh the buds, take photos, and share another post in a month or two after curing to report on the flavor and aroma. For now, I’m taking a breather, fine-tuning my setup, and preparing for my next grow: Wizard Trees - Zangria S1.

Empecé el lavado de raíces. Pise sólo agua con ph regulado en 5.8 y voy cambiando todo el depósito todos los días. La idea sería terninar la semana con la misma EC de entrada que de salida. Las Tropicana terminar decepcionando en cantidad, ya que no engordaron. Pero si están muy llenas de teicomas. La Polaris en camvio engordaron y vienen muy bien. Imagino que tomarán un par de días más. Pero no creo que demasiado. Hice una defolicación muy fuerte. Ya incluso manicurado casi.

La planta se está desarrollando bien y parece que la deformación inicial de las hojas va remitiendo, esperaré hasta el próximo par de hojas y realizaré poda apical y LST antes de colocar la malla scrog.

Čau growři,🤠 Vůbec nehnojim. Zkouším je chvilku nechat na vodě. Cca 10 dni. Začnu hnojit až bude přeplá a připravena na květ. Trosku mám obavy. Ale snad to bude mít ještě Happy end .😀😇

Vamos actualizar la sexta semana de floración de estas Biscotti de RoyalQueenSeeds. Un SOG que empezó mal pero que se ven con un buen color y avanzan progresivamente, se marcan un color increíble y las flores van formándose, así que a estar atentos. La humedad es perfecta, la temperatura la e podido corregir y ya la tenemos entre 24/25 grados. Añadi la base,Blue line B de Agrobeta. Esta semana añadí tucán, gold joker, silver, tetra 9, beta shark, mega Pk, tricoma, explotacogollos y terminator también de Agrobeta. Estoy controlando el ph está alrededor de 6- 6,5. Normalmente riego cada 24 horas y más o menos cada planta está tragando 1 litro de agua en cada riego. Vamos viendo cómo progresan estas últimas semanas. Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Hasta aquí todo. Buenos humos 💨💨

Medicine is expensive and, luckily, I am now able to grow my own where I live. I started growing in this 2x4 Gorilla Lite tent and "piece-meal'ed" my setup together. I started with one Mars Hydro TS1000 and was fortunate enough to get a second one before I started flowering. I used a 6-inch AC Infinity fan for exhaust and a 4 inch AC Infinity intake fan. Using a Gorilla carbon filter and it works great.. I added an Exhale CO2 bag at this time not really realizing that it wouldn't do much good for a few weeks still... It's impossible to find oscillating clip on fans where I live so I had to make do with some non-oscillating fans. Grew in 100% Purple Cow Indicanja soil and did not give ANY nutrients during the vegetative stage (they did just fine). I probably under-watered versus over-watered for quite some time as folks at the friendly local grow store kept telling me that I'd inevitably overwater at some point as a first time grower so I waited a long time in between watering fairly often...

Hi all Here we are ar the mid 8 week flowering point and the ladies are finishing up nicely. I have expected a 10 week end but looking at #1 , she won't wait too much longer I don't think. They are not the biggest of ladies but do smell so sweetly lemon now and I am hoping the final weeks swell them to a great finish. The buds are nice and airy looking and i don't see any signs of mould anywhere so far. The positions in the room during this cold winter have made an impact on the foliage colours and it has been hard to keep a constant temp above 19°c with the energy costs ect. I can see how maybe only 3 of these girls in the same space would have been a great producer too. Their is plenty to work with in side branching and growth so a s.c.r.o.g would work wonders for this strain. I did cram them in with 5 ladies and another strains plant too so perhaps more space would have given each a way heavier final weight. I can see 4 of them Mali g the full 10 weeks but the #1 does look so close together finish now.

Aug 16: Sunday Punch EV is a strong plant and it will likely be my biggest yielder this year. Have the UV lights going again today and the buds are looking great. Natural UV drops really fast here after mid-August so the UV lights should help them finish strong with higher potency. Aug 18: flash pics before using red light at dusk is okay, but don't take flash pics if you don't have a far red light. Bad idea. Likely. Video shows how to use the far red light at dusk. Just a few seconds at the right time of day is all it takes. I use Civil Twilight for my location as listed on timeanddate.com which is a few minutes earlier each night at this time of year.

Targona: 57 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 Eighth week of growing my Apple Fritter Automatic 🍎🍏🍎 Nutrients: As I mentioned last time, I switched to mostly organic nutrients from Plagron and Biobizz💓 - Plagron Alga Bloom - is a complete fertilizer designed exclusively for the flowering phase. It contains all the important substances that the plant easily absorbs 🌸🌾 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plagron Sugar Royal - Sugar Royal is a supporting enzymatic fertilizer designed exclusively for the flowering phase. It contains hormones, enzymes, vitamins and trace elements necessary for proper flower development🍭🍭🍭 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plagron Green Sensation - Green Sensation is a professional flower stimulator and activator. It contains all the necessary ingredients to support flowering and also the formation of sugars, and thus the overall yield 🌊🌿 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JUNGLE X Environ is a highly effective complex preparation for stimulating flower formation. 🌸🏵️ ---------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- BioBizz Bio pH - is an organic pH regulator. An aqueous solution of citric acid, which is naturally found in citrus fruits 🍋🍋 - I didn't use it this time, because the pH of the dressing was 6.5 + ---------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- BioBizz Calmag - 100% vegan and certified product Calmag is made from calcium carbonate and magnesium sulfate, supplemented with humic acid. Unlike other products, the all-natural Biobizz CalMag does not contain any nitric acid and therefore does not affect the NPK values ​​or EC of the solution 💩💩 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Terra Aquatica pH test kit - Very reliable, easy to use and inexpensive. The pH Test Kit conveniently replaces expensive pH meters. It includes a wide range from 4.0 to 8.5. 🌈 General: Apple Fritter Automatic 🍎🍏🍎 - The plant is getting more and more beautiful, its buds are getting thicker, they are really all white, as if they are covered in sticky resin. The stem, leaves and buds have turned a little pink. I wondered if it was a lack of phosphorus, but based on the nutrients I give them and the overall pH, which is 6.5, I assume that this is the classic coloration of the plant during maturation. 🌱🏵️💚Nevertheless, I preferred to add Calmag to the watering yesterday and also feed it with Alga Bloom in case it lacks important elements. Training: The plant is very tall. Sometimes I turn it all over so that the light also shines on the side branches on the side of the tent. Otherwise, I don't do any training, I just cut off some excess leaves in the classic way. Plus, this girl doesn't have many leaves, she's a beautiful genetics as usual with strains by Zamnesia 💚🌞🌞 Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 18 cm between the light and the plants, so I move it up regularly 💡💡💡 Thanks for the likes :) See you soon 😍😍

hello plant lovers this week as I already expected there was a bomb growth. its full flowering has just started, I inverted the lights by placing the 300w further down the grow, gaining more space for the 100w module that I placed in front of it, the plants held water well even though now I have 30watt input plus 15w under the mokum tulip in last week's defoliation tidied up the grow room and now the stems are struggling to get their light I'm still at 18 out of 24 but I think I'll increase every few days and give full power to 24 hours I'll wait another four days before turning up the lights these little girls are still hungry to grow and the main led satisfies placed higher up is satisfying everyone today I removed a few leaves the space has now become a real jungle but whatever happens I'm happy of the LST results the smell is still very low I hope they don't explode but I already know that something will happen this week in this case I will be ready to tie the tips to the structure of the grow. good continue a kiss
