Woche 5 03.08.24 - 10.08.24 Das Wachstum geht ungehindert weiter....! Diesmal konnte ich leider keine Fotos machen, da ich in der Woche wenig nach den Pflanzen schauen konnte. Dafür kleine Zeitraffervideos von der Zeltkamera. Die Pflanzen zeigen leichte Anzeichen einer Überdüngung. Daher wurde diese Woche nur bei jeder zweiten bis dritten Bewässerung gedüngt. Außerdem wurde die Beleuchtung umgestellt von der Lumii auf 2x Sanlight Evo 120er da sie endlich nach mehrmonatiger Verspätung angekommen sind. Die Werte Temperatur, Luftfeuchtigkeit und VPD füge ich nachträglich noch ein. Die Behandlung mit dem Neemöl bringt leichte Besserung. Ab Montag kommen noch Nematoden zusätzlich mit in die Box, da ich ab jetzt nicht mehr das Neemöl benutzen möchte aufgrund der langsam voranschreitenden Blüten.

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

Well I decided to transplant this one as she was holding to much water in that smaller container and she wasn't liking the soil so much so I put her into a more balanced soil no nutrient additives . She will hopefully be doing better by the end of the week and if not I'll still keep plugging away at her and here's to the best cheers ...

End of Week 8 (First week of flower) Increased the CO2 to 1200ppm and the ladies love it, already started stretching within the first 3 days of flower which shows that CO2 definitely boosts the grow cycle of cannabis. The main top-sites are popping up everywhere and everything looks evenly spread out. I defoliated again because the fan leaves are growing so fast and blocking bud sites. I also did one last lower canopy maintenance and removed small and stalky bud sites and stems below the trellis net to make sure I get maximum energy distribution to the main colas. I also added some GHF BioEnhancer to make sure the soil-microbes are happy and that the plants reach their maximum potential. Pest Report: EXTERMINATED! Thrips VS Ladybugs VS Neem Oil... I decided to fight fire with fire - I purchased Swirski-Mites from Koppert (They are beneficial insects that feed on the eggs and larvae of thrips and other unwanted pests). As for the adult thrips - I got very lucky and found about 10 Ladybugs in my garden and decided to introduce them into my grow room as they will feed on adult thrips and any other unwanted pests. Then to be extra sure I know that neem oil hinders the life cycle of pests like thrips causing them to stop colonising in my grow room. So I sprayed the ladies every day during the dark period to make sure there are no pests that I or the Ladybugs have missed. Mission accomplished. No more wilting and definitely no more thrips.

entrando a la semana 6... viene bien!!

Flush flush Bigger buds buds Let’s prepare harvest :) Did the full cycle from the advanced nutrients feeding chart , know I flush and prepare the harvest , planing a late harvest for more cbn and relaxing high - and little bit other terps Today 16.02.2025 - blooming starts at 20.12.2024 - D59

So close to harvest, maybe 5 days max. Currently at 63 days from flip. Last photo is 68 days from flip

Hi everyone :-) This week a lot of nice things happened in the flower tent :-) Everyone looks super nice, and is growing stronger and more beautiful week by week 😍👌. The blue cheese smells like a dream ;-) As usual from this variety 👍. The kosher tangie is also very, very tasty 👏🏻. Both got Pk 13/14 this week for the last time :-) Everyone else is developing very well 👍, That will be the last diary with several strains together :-) In future everyone will come individually 👌. I wish you a lot of fun with the videos, have a nice weekend, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😎👌

*english version below* 🌿 HydroLab Germany – Vegiwoche 6: Zucker, Pilze & Präzisionswahnsinn Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, wo Wissenschaft und Wahnsinn weiter Hand in Hand tanzen – diesmal mit einem ordentlichen Schuss Zucker im System. 🍭⚗️ Projektstatus Die Damen machen sich weiter breit – Training läuft präzise nach Plan. Das Scrog-Netz wird nach und nach gefüllt, Triebe werden durchgeflochten und Blätter geopfert. Untenrum wurde ordentlich lollipopped – klinisch sauber, wie man’s im Labor mag. Neue Seitentriebe wachsen nach und werden sofort wieder ins Netz eingearbeitet – kontrolliertes Chaos in Reinform. ⚙️ Systemparameter 🌡️ Temperatur (Tag): 26 °C 💧 RLF: 65 % (geregelt über AC Infinity Cloudforge) ⚗️ Düngung: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect (Grow, Bloom, Micro + B52 + Bud Candy) 📊 EC: 1,1 System: RDWC (4 × 30 L Euroboxen, DIY – weil zu groß gibt’s nicht) 🌊 Wasser: kühl, klar, quirlig – und jetzt offiziell lebendig Living RDWC Experiment Das Labor wird biologisch aktiv – Mykorrhiza, Zuckerquellen wie Bud Candy und bald Aloe Vera Saft & Chitosan sollen das Mikroleben pushen. Ziel: Den typischen „sterilen Hydro-Geschmack“ zähmen und mehr organische Tiefe schaffen. Kurz gesagt: Wir impfen das System mit Leben – und hoffen, dass es uns nicht auffrisst. 😄 🔍 Beobachtung Die Pflanzen zeigen kräftige Stämme, saubere Wurzeln und gleichmäßiges Wachstum. Das Netz wird von Tag zu Tag dichter – fast so, als hätte es einen eigenen Willen. Einige große Fächerblätter mussten für den Fortschritt sterben… aber hey, Wissenschaft verlangt Opfer. 🧠 Labornotiz Im HydroLab riecht’s mittlerweile nach Zuckerwatte trifft Nährlösung – ein Duft, der Erfolg verspricht. Alles deutet darauf hin, dass Leben im Wasser = Geschmack im Weed heißen könnte. Phase 6 läuft stabil – aber Stabilität ist hier ohnehin nur die Ruhe vor dem nächsten Versuch. ------------------------------------ 🌿 HydroLab Germany – Veg Week 6: Sugar, Fungi & Precision Madness Welcome back to the HydroLab, where science and insanity continue their delicate dance – this time with a healthy dose of sugar in the system. 🍭⚗️ Project Status The ladies are spreading beautifully – horizontal expansion: successful. The Scrog net is being woven tight, trichome soldiers in training, leaves removed for maximum efficiency. Below the net it’s now clinically clean – lollipopping complete. New shoots keep popping up, and every single one gets trained into position – controlled chaos at its finest. ⚙️ System Parameters 🌡️ Day Temp: 26 °C 💧 RH: 65% – perfectly managed by AC Infinity Cloudforge ⚗️ Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect (Grow, Bloom, Micro + B52 + Bud Candy) 📊 EC: 1.1 System: RDWC (4 × 30L Euroboxes – DIY, because “too big” isn’t a thing) 🌊 Water: cool, clear, and officially alive Living RDWC Experiment This round, the Lab goes biologically active – Mycorrhiza, sugar sources like Bud Candy, and soon Aloe Vera juice and Chitosan join the mix. Goal: erase that “sterile hydro” flavor and bring organic depth to hydro-grown weed. In short: we’ve inoculated the system… and we just hope it stays friendly. 😄 🔍 Observations Strong stems, glowing white roots, uniform growth. The canopy is tightening up – like a neural network learning how to photosynthesize better. Some big fan leaves were sacrificed in the name of progress – science demands casualties. 🧠 Lab Notes The HydroLab now smells like nutrient solution and cotton candy – oddly promising. Early signs suggest the theory holds: life in the system = flavor in the flower. Phase 6 is stable… but in this Lab, stable only ever means “right before the next experiment.” 🔖 Tags:#HydroLab #RDWC #LivingRDWC #Scrog #AdvancedNutrients #BudCandy #ACInfinity #CannaScience #HydroExperiment #GrowTech #THCGrow #ScienceIsSexy #MycoPower

Week 5 on these amazing girls. They're full into the flower stage and the smells are starting to come through super strong. I've switched over to bloom nutes and they seemed to never skip a beat. All in all excited to see what the coming weeks have in store. Happy Growing.

I guess the grow is doing okay. The zkittlez plant that has suspiciously small buds for the amount of time its been flowering and compared to GMP. I noticed some possible seed sacks on the zkittlez and then also GMP, i cut off a small lower bud on the GMP to get a closer look and when i opened up the sack it looked like an extremely small serd like 1/10 the size of a fingernail. I could be wrong in assuming that the plants hermed but i doubt it. My guess is thag the zkittlez plant hermed along the way at some point and pollinated GMP. The zkittlez was a freebie and i couldn't find the breeder so its kinda par for the course. The seed development is very slow so by the time the girls will be cut down, the seeds probably wont be mature but I've never had herms or done any breeding work so i have no clue. Im not thsr upset just a little peeved that i didn't notice sooner.

Day29: New sets of leaves. I'll repot and switch to proper Veg Lights on the weekend. Day30: I'll repot tomorrow. Day31: Repotting done. She had a crazy amount of roots in the seedling pot. MUCH more than I expected. I switched to Veg lights at 90% power. Day32: Settling in new pot Day33 & 34: I had to perform some maintenance on the tent. Lost some hours due to that. Day35: Growth really looking healthy. Although she's not really stretching high, she does look rather happy. I do like them thicc ;) General: I need to put the camera somewhere else so that the growth can be better seen. Right at the end I'll edit out the white flashes. They're caused by the humidifier running and will be really easy to cut out without losing the gist of the grow :)

Began flushing at day 70

WEEK#9 DAY#56 :She could use some water . Easy going grow , slow vertical climb multi-lateral branching . I could selectively prune to encourage vertical growth but at this time I think the grow is going fine . I anticipated the plant being larger at this time athough I’ve never grown this strain before to know what to expect I think another 4-6 weeks of VEG will do her nothing but JUSTICE . Still watering to make those dry amendments available . After these 28-31 days we’ll transplant her into her final 6gallon pot . Or atleast I think that will be her final pot I see the benefit of stepping up pot size gradually and honesty think the growth is healthier when done that way I’m just being lazy and don’t feel like up-potting 3 or more times . I just wanna make small adjustments and move on ya know ? Week#9Day#56Update: 2/3 older girls showing signs of flushing, there’s heavy yellowing top of the plant & purple hues beginning to show. The two of them should have 3-4 weeks left & the buds have not even began to swell yet so I’m worried I missed my feeding time after I gave them nute burn beginning of flower so my fear is that my bud won’t swell & I’ve just jacked up my harvest the last half of flower. I’m going to try & get small amounts of nutes in there to help the bud develop without giving too much to mess up the end of flower flush . The final older girl isn’t showing any signs of flush it is the smallest of the 3 & therefore perhaps did not consume as much food as the other 2 girls is all I can think considering all three ladies soil came from the same batch of premixed “soil” they weren’t individually mixed It’s almost time to get these older girls out & get some note-worthy shots of “Cellie” growing All ALONE into this 5x5. Heavy heavy heavy defoliation. Will pony-tail when the fan leaves grow back out Week#9 Day#63 Update: started pony tailing her tops that are large enough to pin back without decapitating/severing the top . The top dress feeding I gave her still hasn’t become plant available yet. She’s still yellowing . I’ll be glad to see her park back up & continuing growing on. I purchased some worm castings I’ll top dress with a few tablespoons before watering her in & see if that perks her up until the Gaia Green is broken down. Shes almost tall enough to come down off that 1gall bucket even before transplant into a 6gal planter like the older girls finishing up .

: Hello guyss (if anybody watching). As you can see in the photos, it’s been an incredible week. The colas have fattened up a lot over the past few days, and the harvest time is getting closer. According to the Sweet Seeds website, they should be ready in about eight weeks, but in my opinion, they might take a bit longer. This is week seven, so by the end of next week, I’ll be able to determine whether they’re ready or not. It’s amazing how massive the colas have become — truly impressive. RHC #2 has some huge budss, and I’m really happy with how the plants are developing overall. I’ve continued following the BioBizz schedule as usual, keeping the pH around 6.4, with no visible issues or deficiencies which makes me proud of my work. RHC #3 showed a lot of improvement this week and now looks just as big, even surpassing RHC #1 in height. The aroma is incredible — lots of cheese, a hint of sweetness, and something that reminds me of a red gummy candy. Even though the colors haven’t started to show yet, I’m still hopeful. For my second run, my girks are looking absolutely amazing.

Strain is Lemon Pie x Gorilla Cookies Auto R2 Grow started on July 8th, 2022 I dropped these directly into another pot with some plants that I was pretty sure were not awesome. I was right and these germinated quickly and are growing well. Out of four, the two I kept were the best ones, so I named them 1 and 2 Direct to soil, same feed as my Green Gelato Auto grow, Flora Nova Bloom with all the good Gaia Green nutes and worm castings and myco in the soil already. Crimson Clover is cover/companion July 23, 2022 Day 15 My impression of these two autos so far: super fast growing, topped on day 15, 1st week of veg. I was NOT going to top them, but they are so fast, I need to buy some time, since the other plants are filling out now. I don't think she will slow down by much.

hace tiempo tenia ganas de cultivar esta cepa, de buen crecimiento y aroma dulce. muy buena produccion de cogollos y resina, resistio muy bien algunos problemas al inicio del cultivo en la poda apical y posterior LST, buena cepa para LST muy frondosa

Everything seems to be going well a little too close together but nothing major need to do a small amount of defoliation this next week but nothing major as I don't want to hurt the growth. any suggestions always welcome. Thanks for viewing guys 🙂 MAKE SURE YOU CHEAK THE VIDEO AND PICTURES WITHOUT LIGHTS ON. thanks

Greetings to any helpful advice
