Hello fellow growers. Here we go for another journey, going to reach Mars 😎 The room is fully equipped with 6 x Mars Hydro FC6500. The FC6500 is equipped with 2688 LEDs for an input power of 650 and a footprint of 180x180 cm. Sunlike Full Spectrum- warm white and red chips. Boom Yield increasing Crop Quality. High PPFD at 2.8 umol/j, average yield at 2.5g/w. No fan design, no noise-A whole layer of the aluminum heatsink achieving optimal heat dissipation. Removable driver and 2m extension cord helps lower the growing room temperature. IP65 waterproof ratings-worry free in high humidity growing environment. And is actually the best quality price on the market. The light brightness is so intense that a ninja can’t find any shadow to hide. Look under the stool on the video and the pictures. This is why you can get 2.5g/w. The plants grows heavy nuggs even on the bottom part, getting a third layer of buds. __________________________________________ Barney’s Farm has some new seeds packaging. Much easier to get the seeds out and very well sealed. You can even use it as a rolling tray. Each batch of seeds is numbered, which is a good indicator for seriousness. Barney’s Farm has one of the most beautiful seeds menu, any strains can be chosen blindly and is a fine connoisseur choice. __________________________________________ I will be using Cellmax BIO soil and BIO nutrients. When you got the best sauce, don’t change the recipe, particularly when it works very well and helps to increase a yield using organic nutrients. __________________________________________ In this diary I will add my personal notes, from my personal diary, in the bottom of the comments. If it can help any beginner to match the formulas with the comment to understand the wizardry behind the spells. Stay tuned, germination is launched 🚀

Update from last week that I forgot: I gave her a final feed at 75%... WEEK 25 DAY 1 ... omg... 😂😂😂 It really took me half a year to finish this one... unbelievable... 😅 Well, so far I'm still super happy. Everything seems to go just fine but I'll never do this again..haha.. (vegging under a 50W bulb xD)... Soooo... looking at the trichs, I think the harvest window has just opened. There's still a lot of clear but the cloudy ones are starting to come and there's already a little amber on the leaves. I suppose I'm really close to harvest now. I'll be flushing her next time for sure. First, I'll feed her a low nutrient solution, maybe around 25% and half of the usual water quantity because I'm not that sure about when she really finishes so she dries out more quickly. Next, I'll use Grotek Final Flush right before I'll chop her down. I don't want to use this right away because last time my plants were dying a bit too fast so.. not to be repeated ;) Getting impatient now. Hopefully it will be a White Christmas...haha! DAY 2 Gave her one last feed at 25%. Poured only half of the usual water quantity. Left the BloomComplex totally aside because she seems like she's doing a little 'clawing'. Maybe there's too much Nitrogene? Trichs are beginning to get cloudy, with a little amber in between. I'll flush her with plain ph'd water tomorrow probably or should I wait some more days? What do you think? I'm never sure when the time is right... :/ DAY 3 I just took some more pictures with a macro lens attached to my iPhone. Seems like the buds in the middle do have way more amber than the other ones around which have swollen more compared to the ones in the middle but have less amber. The last days, I didn't check the ones in the middle so I changed my mind. I just flushed her with Grotek Final Flush. I'll wait for some hours for the solution to break down the salts and then I'll flush again to get rid of the flushing solution. I'm also gonna switch the timetable to 8/16. (16 hours of dark) and I'll drop the temperatures some 2 more degrees.

Everything about this strain is amazing. It grew very easily, requiring no additional nutrients and having no deficiencies. P2 (the one I harvested) was short and bushy but had some massive buds all over it. I dont think I have anything smaller than a golf ball. The test branch that broke off a few weeks ago is any indication of how it will dry, they will be very dense, almost rock hard, and caked in crystals even after a trim. P1 was a massive plant, 30 inches tall, with 15 giant cola budsites and tons of golf ball sized buds on the underside of the branches. If I had used something to support her she probably would have doubled her already massive buds. Ended up with 102g from p1 and 90 from p2. 0

I still have a few leafs I have to remove. But this girl has bounced back. This strain seems to do better on a lower dose of nutrients. I raised up the light a few inch’s. I will be flipping her in a week or two, I would love loke to allow a little more growth. This strain is definitely a beginner statin. This plant has been through so much do to my errors. Still not much smell. I am hoping she will flower nicely after everything. All we can do is watch.

Growing in a organic composted 'super soil'. I was trying to add additional nutrients up until a few weeks ago when I noticed early signs of nutrient burn. Since the its been water only and she is doing great. Hope to harvest soon.

Stopped adding nutrients 2 weeks ago due to slight nutrient burn. Also I am growing in an organic composted 'super soil' that should have plenty of nutrients of its own (probably partly why I saw some nutrient burn after adding additional nutrients). Trichomes look nice and milky. Probably harvesting this week.

You can find tbe first week of all girls on my profile, second week is missing coz its just boring and now i start week 3 so its day 15 today from placing seeds to germination. Uploaded a video of their habitat, i still wont name each one indifidually coz i still didnt choose winners / keepers. Unfortunatelly i have a bit low RH for this stage of growth but they obviously dont mind, i spray them twice a day, no burns from spraying with lights on, no electroshocks caused by spraying so all good now. I tried it all enough to be able to say i cant be assed anymore :D Since @growdiaries are not keen on resolving a problem with uploading each pic individually on androids, i will keep one diary for all girls, dont even mind not being able to compete in dom. Stay tuned these girls will rock.

Gradually ramped light down from 18 hours to 12 after power outages due to the fire, and it was about good time to flip anyway. It is so much easier to control temperature during the winter in my space. The lights keep the space at a pretty steady 74 F. I only popped two seeds but these are very consistent plants. One was transplanted to a bigger pot a week later and was slightly smaller. Lots of buds forming! They aren’t super fussy about nutrients—still,I haven’t pushed PPM and am keeping Ph in the 6-6.8 range. I’m using peony rings as support and to spread a little but I am not training for a perfectly flat canopy as I had excellent popcorn nugs in my last grow even with the lights over 2x further than optimal. Defoliated the lower branches but I am not defoliating aggressively, but will continue to remove any withering leaves. Sorry for the slow updates. The fire has been pretty traumatic for my city and myself, and I’m just getting back to normal life. My home, family and pets are safe, and the fire is mostly contained. Thank you for checking out my diary. Happy holidays and I hope Santa Ja brings you a giant tree!

Just trying to get back to normal life after the Thomas fire. I believe I have two phenotypes of some gorilla glue lineage as the seed came from a very tasty dispensary quarter. Even though the little ugly plants look grotesque, they are loaded with bud sites. I have photos and videos and notes of the past few weeks so I will try to back annotate.
