Everything is going well ( day 22 ) , I figured out my lighting issue. I raised my lights all the way up to the top and turned them to 75% power and the plants are doing well now now wilting or anything

welcome to 📅 Day 74 5/24/2021 and its the first day of flush and I cant wait to chop this girl it has been a good grow for the most part the Mars Hydro TS 1000 is holding up good. That's it for now and I will see you all on Thursday. Happy growing and as always keep your stick on the ice 🏒

Started LST not planning on topping. The plant looks a couple of days away from starting to flower

On day 81, the plant has shifted resources into bud development and the results have been beautiful, the plant has also flourished with low doses of nutrients in order to avoid nutrient stress. The buds are sticky to the touch and give a slight citrus and cherry/raspberry smell, with continued purple transformation of the plants cells.

I have my Electric Sky 180v2 now in instead of the cheap 40$ for 4 lights i bought on facebook. Which were growing but nothing like this thing has been doing the past week. Im still blown away by the light but back to the plants. Doimg great i took some clones. First time ever so hopefully they root. I been sprayin em 4 -6 times a day. My 3rd g6jetfuel i took out of my tent with es180v2 and put in closet by itself with the 40$ cheap leds. It hasnt grown a whole lot compared to the tent plants g61 and 2...i thought maybe it may of had a male or hermi part but honestly i dont think it did bc i cant find it now. But its still in there bc i decided to throw it on 12-12 in closet to find out sex forsure. Ive been foliar spraying in my tent 3 timez a day. And 2 times a week i get 2 little drops of fox farm grow bif in my 10oz spray bottle of water.

Friday 4-19 plant 3 got a haircut and in the drying tent she went. Plant 4 is so big I can't keep the pot wet with hand watering every 12 hours. She needs a IV bucket of liquid nutes. I'm tying off bud sites so they don't fall over.

Day 86 - another week, not much to post, getting brown hairs, buds fattening up..... normal feeding, they are happy..... 👍 😎

Ready for a week of water only. Really frosty buds and extremely fruity terps. I did hit he with a little dose of PK before the flush which looks like it has helped.

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

Harvest day !

These girls are just days away from harvest! I will closely monitor their pistils, calyxes & trichomes throughout the week so I can determine exactly when to give these girls their two days darkness before chop! They are all starting to fade out really nice and the smell just keeps getting stronger each and every day! After this last feed/flush I will only give these girls R/O-Distilled Water with nothing added whatsoever. Please enjoy the videos I posted of the girls! Thought I’d add some music to the videos vs loud condenser microphone picking up fans 🤣 Only videos for now, I will post actual pictures and macro shots throughout the week before harvest. Update: 9/7 The pistils and trichomes are about right where I want them. I’d say I have about 90% Cloudy, 7% Clear & 3% Amber Trichomes. A majority of pistils have gone from white to amber and have retracted. The girls have stopped drinking water so I transferred them to my darkroom to finish off for two days. After the two days I will chop and hang at 67°F @ 55%RH for 8-10 days until the stems begin to snap.

Day 85 Day 50 Flower Friday 17/05/24 She seems to have exploded since I sorted the temps. The tops seem to be swelling again normally, fox tailed to shit at very tops but all under are nice and swelling up more. Last Feed today. Day 87 Day 52 Flower 19/05/24 - Sunday. Water today with calmag She really has recovered well, that 1 week of stress really did her dirty for tox tailing. But, she has recovered and now has fist sized nuggets forming everywhere. She is a beast 💪💚 Day 89 Day 54 Flower - pH water , 5l 2.2l run off. Day 90 Day 55 flower 22/05/24 - Wednesday So I'm debating, chopping her at end of this week, or trying to allow another week just to ripen further, all depends on my tre lime auto for space. She looks ready, all trichomes cloudy with tiny partial amber's showing. I would love to see more amber as I like my smokes to be sleepers.

Let’s get something nice to smoke 🤝🏾

So this should be the last week of veg, as my other plant will be coming down later on today!! I will say this.I know she is definitely ready.It's been a long veg cycle, which is a testament to the growdots, which say only 4-6 weeks before you should flip... Mind you I have reported it's twice now and in both times I added fresh dots.. i just hope she doesn't become too big and overtake the 2.3x2.3x63.. i have a feeling she's going to be a good size plant... As always, big shout out and thank you @Grow4releaf.. I hope everybody's doing well.God bless and happy growing RIPCK

6/27/21 - I’m just feeding and letting the plants flower. So far so good! For a first time grow I think I did pretty well but it’s not over yet ;) 6/28/21 - They look great! I bumped up Cha Ching to run until final flush. Hopefully that will help make it a little more frosty. They are sticky to the touch and smell great. 6/29/21 - Some branches fell over from the weight of the bud. I had to tie them up to the light. See the bottom of the plant in the pic above. :) 6/30/21 - Most of the plants keep falling over. I have to tie them up with string to the light. Buds look great! 7/1/21 - More of the plant fell over but I tied everything up so it’ll be supported. I shouldn’t have to tie anymore branches. 7/2/21 - They look good! Lots of buds. More than I initially thought. Oh well, looks good! 7/3/21 - Day 42 of flower. Getting very close to start a flush. I’ll use sledgehammer a couple times then water from there on out. They look on track! I haven’t had any deficiencies or any discoloration. No pests either.

These ladies have become extremely tall!!! Sativa phenos as it seems

******** Week 7 - January 21 to 27/20 (Days 43 to 49 from seed popping) Well this girl has sure kept one guessing as to when the heck the outcome is going to be. She was slow getting going but she has kept a constant pace of growth and has been getting bigger and developing more every week👍 She set her buds in this week and has started focusing more on buds and seems to be less on growing stems😁 Her stems have strengthened more over the last couple of weeks and are getting pretty stiff......yes! Shouldn’t have to get out too many eye-poking bamboo stakes ahead. Bud diameter is good now and not as tiny. They are starting to grow up as well, swelling. Top cola is filling in as well. How much will she fill in....time will tell. Not sure just how big her root mass is but don’t expect its huge and bound, sides of pot give when some pressure applied down lower. Have noticed other pots with a good amount of roots are firm when squeeze the bottom. Missed some of the purpling of the stems and saw more of it at the end of the week. Will be giving her some Epsom Salt next week. Also, brown spotting on tops of leaves seem to be starting. Suspect the pH may have gotten out a bit or something locking out the P uptake???? Next week, just keep her happy and ensure the medium has the correct pH. Expect more bud swelling to come😶 Slow but steady.......... Little more detail: Jan 21/20 - Day 43 - looked hungry in the morning and then again in the afternoon. - AM feed - 1L with just Dual Fuel A and B at 1.5ml/L with a 725ppm and 5.85pH. - PM feed - 2L with Mass & Terp @ 3ml, Rhino & Rezin & LW8 & DF @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 0.5ml = 1300ppm. added 1L water to drop to 1000ppm with a 5.9pH. - runoff water - 500ppm with 5.8pH. - leaves are dark but she is happy. She is eating:) Raise the pH though. Jan 22/20 - Day 44 - Feed in PM: 2L - Mass & Terp @ 3ml, Rezin & LW8 & DF @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 0.5ml = 1300ppm with 5.9pH. - They are perky today….further down the plants as well. Standing up and happy. Liked the water yesterday. - SW1 is now the talest girl in the tent. The Kush is coming out with long narrow branches. - This was a heavy feed today. Everyone is perky and happy so lets push it a bit! Jan 23/20 - Day 45 - Light feeding today. Supplementals only. - 2L with Sensyzime @ 2ml, LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 80ppm 6.1pH - everyone happy so keep it light....got a good one in yesterday. - the double bud on her was noticed today!!! Little reward for screwing with me so far😛😝 Jan 24/20 - Day 46 - AM feeding: Massive @ 2ml, DF & LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 925ppm 6.2pH - everything happy in PM. She seems to have taken the heavier feed well. - There might be some tip burn forming but not obvious yet. Jan 25/20 - Day 47 - AM feeding. 2.5L 0f full strength as listed above = 1275ppm with 6.1pH. - added a little more water to bring the ppm down to 1,100......brought her down just a bit. - runoff water 530ppm with 5.6pH. - pH is a little low......got to bring her up some more. - cola swelling last night, taller for sure as well. - Looking nice actually. Will have to support her. - She is now 32” tall and 28” across. Jan 26/20 - Day 48 - She is happy this morning. Didn't see big growth overnight but everyone happy this AM. - AM Feed: Mass@ 5ml, Terp@ 4ml, Vitathrive&Rezin&LW8@ 2ml, Rhino&DF@ 1ml = 1150ppm with 6.1pH. - Didn’t go to sleep before lights out today.....first time so far. - Decided to downsize other Skywalker into 1 gal pot to compare against this 3 gal pot grow. - SW1 is showing signs of P burn!! Brown random spots, and some larger. On new growth right now at tops. Jan 27/20 - Day 49 - have had good luck so far with the other girls and a quick 2 gallon flush. All seemed to be pushed a bit from Wednesdays feeding. - SW1: 2L - Sensyzime @ 2ml, LW8 @ 1.5ml = 45ppm 6.0pH @ 11:00am - Runoff not tested - SW1 was supplemental feeding. She is showing brown spots on leaves. High Potassium?? Lots with supplementals maybe pushing this too high. - First time running Terpinator. Have used Bud Factor X in past. Well fellow growers.......that wraps up another week......damn they do go fast when you look back.....always seems long looking forward though!! Grow em big n fat🙏💪
