My first attempt of growing with my own DIY setup. Specs : - PC box 19x42x43cm (after a few weeks I changed it with a bigger carton box) - 4 x Bridgelux Vero 10, 3000K, 9.1 Watts, 80 CRI, 270mA, 143Lm/W - Mean Well HLG-60H-C350B 70W LED driver - 100k Linear Potentiometer for dimming lights - Aluminum profile 30x7cm for mounting LEDs - ESP32 Dev Board - DHT22 temperature & humidity sensor - 2 x Noctua-NF-S12A for ventilation with PWM control by microcontroller - 3lt pot - Blynk IoT app for remote control Started germination of 1 feminized Northern Lights seed from SensiSeeds using paper towel method. Sprayed with some water and store it in small plastic food container. Seed popped after 24 hours and after 48 it was ready for pot. Unfortunately didn't take any photos of the process.

Sorry for the broken lens. My harvest was 19.5oz. I left the main stem and one of the branches to seed, I'll grow with the next generation of female plants, if successful. There was a week of rain and it was starting to seed, so I harvested it a week early. In the end though the terpene profile was crazy for edibles and for smoking. The slow drying allowed the buds to retain a lot more terpenes, the fan leaves shield the buds and prevent them from drying out too quickly.

Hi Growmies, Again another very uneventful week. The plant is doing what she is supposed to do, getting ready to bulk :) For the coming week PK 13/14 will be added so she can use that to fatten and ripen properly. So far I am quite happy with the results, she is much leaner than her mother and basically only consists of stems and buds. Strangely enough some friends of mine who took cuttings are actually tickling out a bunch of purple hues on the leaves and buds, wonder if this could be temperature related. Guess I will see once have a temp controlled fan …

Will update week comment soon.

Hello everyone! this week, I had to do defoliation all the same .. on that girl I was not going to touch .. the fact is that there were a lot of leaves .. too many .. it was difficult for the plant to breathe .. in short, I did defolation and also took advantage of the fact that the plant itself made a topping))) and with the help of the LST I took 2 central branches to the sides .. from today I will decrease the light regime gradually .. I hope this will help the plants show their gender as soon as possible ..

Amazing told this run 110 grams of bud and 80 grams of shake. An amazing pungent fruity citrus cream cheese aroma eminates out of my cure vault. The high has been described by my friends as a creative uplifting high followed by intense couch lock. The grow itself was a breeze. The only real issues i had in the hydro grow was that i needed to to add cal mag because it was growing so fast and i was using distilled water. I basically did not train my plants other than defoliating to make space for air flow and light penetration. I would recommend this for any first time hydro grower that has a decent amount of space.

🌱 Week 5 Update! 🌱 The girls are THRIVING and loving their new homes 🏡 — just got transplanted into 10-gallon pots! 💪

Day 24. Girl is recovering nice, think to start training her next week. Great light no doubts! Mars TS1000 and daily rotation around axe, plus changing positions every 2 days - helps a lot with even development. Girl is on pure 6.3 ph water, think next time ill go with 1 liter, till then 600 ml every 3 days ... Happy growing !!!

Hello dear readers, welcome to week # 10. We are not far from the goal here. In the last 2 weeks the effect of the Lst has really been shown. There are really good colas and they also look nice and frosty. At the beginning of the week I easily defoliated them, everything that was dead or yellow and shadowed was removed. The plant has been rinsed since the beginning of the 8 weeks. The harvest will surely take place in the following day. The Fox🦊

More pretty colors :D PPFD down to 700 checked trichomes of the right back plant, mostly cloudy with a few clear and very few amber. Will check again in a day or two, shes almost ready. Gave her Ph'd water without nutes (only aminoacids and vitamines) The others ones still need some time. Lowered nutes on those.

Another week successfully completed... All the plants are developing very well, the flowers are plumping up nicely, and all the plants smell great... Everything is as expected, and now we're closer to the end than before... Happy growing to all! 🌱🌿💪

I'm thinking another week... Not sure. She's bloody frosty though! 😲

Hello, green warriors and cannabis enthusiasts! 🌱🔥 We’re now in the 4th week of flowering in our epic Runtz Battle, and things are getting intense! This week was a major milestone as we performed a deep, mass defoliation to set the stage for the final push toward harvest. Let’s dive into the details and explore the impact of this crucial step. Week 4 Flowering Progress 🌿🌟 Our Runtz plants are thriving as they enter the second half of the flowering phase. Here’s what’s been happening: • Bud Development 🌸: • The buds are swelling beautifully, with trichome production ramping up across all plants. The flowers are becoming increasingly dense and aromatic, promising a rich and flavorful harvest. The F1 strain continues to stand out with its compact, resin-packed buds that are now truly taking shape. • Environmental Consistency 🌡️: • We’ve kept the environment stable with a room temperature of 30.3°C, water temperature at 18°C, and humidity at 51%. These conditions are ideal for promoting healthy flowering and preventing any issues as the buds continue to bulk up. The Power of Defoliation 🌿✂️ This week, we carried out a deep, mass defoliation—an essential practice for optimizing bud production. Let’s break down what defoliation is and why it’s so important at this stage: • What is Defoliation? 🌱✂️: • Defoliation involves selectively removing a significant amount of fan leaves from the plants. This process is particularly beneficial during the flowering stage as it allows better light penetration and air circulation to the lower bud sites. • Why Defoliation Matters 🌟: • Light Penetration: By removing excess foliage, we’re ensuring that light can reach deeper into the canopy. This light exposure helps to stimulate growth in the lower buds, leading to a more uniform and higher-quality yield across the entire plant. • Air Circulation: Better airflow reduces the risk of mold and mildew, especially as the buds become denser and more susceptible to moisture-related issues. • Energy Focus: Removing large fan leaves redirects the plant’s energy from maintaining foliage to developing the buds. This means the plants can put more effort into producing larger, more resinous flowers. • How the Runtz Plants Responded 🌸: • The Runtz strains handled the defoliation like champions! They’ve already begun responding positively, with the remaining leaves and buds soaking up the extra light and air. We’re expecting to see even more vigorous bud development in the coming weeks as a result of this defoliation. Nutrient and Care Strategy 🌱💧 Our nutrient and care approach continues to support the plants as they push through this critical flowering stage: • Watering and Nutrients 💧: • With the Autopots still running smoothly, we’re maintaining the Regulator and CaMg Boost in the reservoir. The rich soil, bolstered by organic inputs, is providing all the necessary nutrients to sustain healthy growth and flower production. • The defoliation has also allowed us to closely inspect the plants, ensuring they’re free from pests and diseases and making any necessary adjustments to the care routine. • Lighting and Environmental Control 🌡️: • The Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro continues to deliver powerful, even light, now reaching even more of the plants thanks to the defoliation. • The TrolMaster Hydro-X controller is keeping everything dialed in, maintaining the perfect environment for the Runtz strains to thrive. The Zamnesia Gear Shines 🌟📸 We captured some amazing photos this week, showcasing the defoliation process and our beautiful Runtz plants. Shoutout to the incredible gear from Zamnesia that makes this journey even more enjoyable. Their products not only perform exceptionally well but also look fantastic in action! 🌿📸 Looking Ahead 🌟🌿 As we move into the latter stages of flowering, we’re expecting some serious bud development. The defoliation has set the stage for the Runtz strains to focus all their energy on creating dense, resinous flowers. The next few weeks are going to be critical as we fine-tune the environment and prepare for the final push towards harvest. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this thrilling journey. The finish line is in sight, and the anticipation is building! 🌟💚 #RuntzBattle #Week4Flower #CannabisCommunity #DefoliationDay #BudDevelopment #GreenMagic #ZamnesiaGear #LumatekZeus #TrolMasterHydroX #GrowStrong #StayPositive Germination method 🌱 @thecannakan Genetics Runtz F1 @zam.nesia Runtz auto @kannabiaglobal Nutrition @aptusholland 🌿 @aptus_world 🌎 @aptus_es 🌍 @aptusbrasil 🌱 @aptus_thailand 🌿 @aptus_portugal 🌳 @aptususa_official 🍀 @aptusplanttechnz 🌺 @aptusplanttechaus 🍃 Ambient controls🎮 @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro Soil @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis LED - @lumatekeu Watering- @autopot_usa @autopot_global Love and attention- @dogdoctorofficial #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trolmaster #trolmastereurope #trolmastersecrets #Autopots #RuntzBattle #KannabiaVsZamnesia #GreenJoy As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚 More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found ⬆️ link in the profile description ⬆️ Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All 💚

The medium had issues from, pretty much, day one.. She did show the issues on the leaves.. But it did NOT slow her down a bit.. She outgrew her side of the tent. Very stretchy! Super pretty.. I feel I got a very Mandarin Sunset pheno type.. Looks alot like the pics of ETHOS Mandarin Sunset.. But wow.. Great terpy strain also.. Very lemony.. I love ETHOS!

First off - Welcome to my first grow diary. I’m just a low-key home cultivator running everything for personal medicinal use—no big commercial vibes here. Been dialing in grows for years now, and I’ve long since moved on from the seed roulette wheel. These days I stick to legit, certified genetics from solid sources. Nothing beats the consistency and predictability of running a clean mono-crop—all clones from the same mother, uniform canopy, uniform finish. Way less guesswork, way more control. Let’s see how this round plays out. Potted up the rooted clones from cuts taken 13 days ago from sugar factory mother. Look pretty rough at the moment but I trust the process.

Day 30 of flower; This beautiful girl starts to build some very long nice looking colas. She starts to smell beautifully and she should get some beautiful buds in a couple of weeks.

Buds are fattening up pretty well and I've had to use more rubber garden wire and clips to keep the branches from bending over. Smell is increasing on the Northern Light but still a mild skunk on the Black Devil. Also gave the very last feeding on the plants this week so they will get nothing but water until the chop. I'm very happy with the microbe populations so I stopped feeding the sugars (molasses/agave) as the plants themselves don't get much out of them; that stuff is just for feeding the soil beasties. I had added some predatory mites several weeks ago to deal with some springtails, and the mites annihilated the population. I did find a developing larva though so there are still some around. Posted lots of microscope videos today.
