Overall good week finally setup my double trellis net, I hate it because my room so small and I have to crawl all around to get anything done. Plants were looking good a few branches which are completely unnoticeable looked like they suffer from nutrient burn. Beside that we taking off. I’m expecting some significant changes in the coming weeks.

26.08.2024 1. RDWC: I run a DIY system made of 4 Buckets 17L+separated control/tank bucket (12L operational water per bucket used) fallponic plus underwater current. I don't know why I have made such system I just wanted to be sure that I have included every possible option. I'm not sure but maybe I'll upgrade it to rainponic it's not that hard of a job. I'm not using my 100L reservoir this run becose it needs replacement old one made a small flood in my garden. 2. TENT AC Infinity 5x5 3. Airpump Hailea ACO 388 D 70L/min. 4. Water chiller: hailea water chiller hc-150a. 5. LED GROW light Grand Master Level Tarantula voyager 1500W 2 chanel's plus controller (it will be my first run with this monster it just arrived). 6. INLINE FAN: AC Infinity cloudline S6 carbon filter. 7. CLIP FAN: AC infinity Cloudray S6 3 pcs. For low middle and over the LED air movement. 8. Humidifier AC INFINITY T3 (I don't need stronger one naturally the humidity here is around 65-70%) 9. TENT CONTROLLERS: controller 69 PROX2 10. Germination/humidity dom by AC infinity with germination lamps 40W Ionabeam S11 only for the first 2 weeks before VEG. DAY 1 Closed in a box hiden in a dark boiler room. Room temperature 25C EC 850 RH 90% Instruments used for measuring: AC Infinity Hydroponic Meter PRO AC infinity VPD thermometer DAY 2 5/6 seeds have start to crack open I guess tomorrow or the day after they will be all ready for the cubes. DAY 3 ROOM TEMPERATURE 26 C Relative Humidity 83% 5/6 seeds are showing signs of life. The 6th one is a little bit slower it's cracked as it can be seen on the picture but it refuses to show it's tale. I believe tomorrow it will be ready. On day 4 I'll put them in the "Root Riot" cubes and after that I'll just monitor the RH and RT until I see the sprouts. DAY4 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.5 RH 94% 6/6 seeds have germinated so far. Today I'll move them in the Humidity dom where they will stay until they become seedlings and I'll keep them there until they are ready to be moved in the RDWC system and coco coir. In the video I have show my method of preparing the cubes for the seeds next update will be tomorrow probably only for temperature and humidity. DAY 5 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25-27. RH 89-95 I can't believe that I'm seeing first sprout today. Maybe this strain is one who can take a little push 🤣🤣🤣 I'll keep in mind and I'll se how much I can push it. Unfortunately I still don't have CO2 for veg and flower but I can try other different little tricks. I'm happy with this seeds obviously 42 Fast Buds are giving a really quality seeds. Let's see what kind of buds will come out of this seeds. I hope tomorrow everything will be sprout out and i will turn on the lamps. DAY 6 PPFD 120 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.5 RH 92.1 It's day six 4/5 seeds are successfully germinated. Maybe the next two will pop out but for one of them I'm not so sure. Anyway I have one spare seed that I can pop out for the coco project plus I have one Papaya Cookies Auto for the fifth bucket so that's no problem. The seeds ar under the light AC Infinity Ionabeam S11 on level 3 equal to 115 ppfd plus the DOM extension. DAY 7 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25C RH 82% I have 4/6 successfully germinated seedlings. Tomorrow I'll open up the humidity dom a little bit. It's good to have spare seeds. Now I'll have to plant my spare peace of gorilla cookies and probably one Papaya Cookies Auto (gift) becose my plans were for 6 plants. Anyway this 4 soon will be transplanted in the RDWC flowering pot. Let's see what tomorrow have to say. DAY 8 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25C RH 82% Amazing root development, I wasn't expecting this kind of speed but obviously tomorrow I'll transplant them in the RDWC even before the VEG state. Maybe I'll keep them a few more days when the first set of leaves is all out. DAY9 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.1 RH 58% Today is the last day in the humidity Dom. I delayed the move becose i wanted to have a longer stems and becose my fertilizers got lost in the depo so ill receive them tomorrow. We have very healthy baby's with a lot of tiny roots so it will be perfect to start then from day 10. DAY 10 ROOM TEMPERATURE 26-27C RH 70% EC 115 pH 7 This is the fastest seeds I ever see. I have never transferred seedlings in to RDWC so far, usually I make this procedure around day 17-20. While I was transferring them one of the seedlings accidently snapped a little bit but I hope it was not fatal enough and maybe it will survive, only the time will show, anyway I have another one in coco so I can always transfer it in to RDWC if needed. EC is only 115 for today becose of the little bit of ATHENA BALANCE I dropped in the water, so far the roots are not touching the water so i can add the fertilizers tomorrow while I'm fresh. DAY 11 Water Temperature 18C Room temperature 28C EC 120 pH 7 PPFD 200 RH 70% They look nice and healthy still not enough signs of roots for picture but so far the seedlings look fresh. One more day in the Formulex+tap water and they will go in the Athena by day 13. DAY 12 Water temperature 18C Room temperature 27C pH 7 PPFD 220 RH 70 AC 240 Everything is going g quick and perfect. So far this run is going smooth as never. I never had root development that quick as this with this seeds. I'm almost in love with them. After a quick summary with my previous runs I decided to double the AC before tomorrow when I'll change the water and I'll replace it with 6.0 pH RO water and the full athena program for the RDWC. So far so good let's see what the Athena nutrients will show after one week. DAY 13 RH 70 Room temperature 27-28 EC 290 pH 6.1 Water Temperature 20C PPFD 300 Light cicle 20/4 I couldn't resist to flip the fertilizer to athena. After all as soon as I teach em what its better. Full water change of the tank and new suplements. Formulex is amazing suplement for the first two weeks maybe it can carry most people to whole VEG if it's in soil or coco, but I want the real food in RDWC. So far all the plants have amazing small roots so that means the system work well. Let's see the progress tomorrow, but I beleave in the middle of the week this plants will be already in official VEG period. DAY 14 RH 70 Room temperature 26C EC 290 pH 6.0 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I needed a little bit more light. I don't know how to explain it but its a grower thing and now my seedlings are looking better than the morning. They were looking a little bit "dizzy" if I can use this terminology. So basically in perfect water temperature, perfect fertilizer level and good aeration, there was nothing left beside the light. As I'm saying you can't feed a lot if you don't have enough light. I added the spider farmer SF 1000 EVO over the water container, becose the big fixture is too far from them, but I can't put them under the Voyager, becose my previous grow is in the final week. So now they are on a separate light 🤣🤣 🤣 370-400 PPFD is a little bit much but I beleave they will manage it. After all the plan of this run is to reach 1000 PPFD in the final days. DAY 15 RH 70 Room temperature 26C EC 290 pH 6.0 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 So far the progress is mainly on roots and some new leafes are coming out. Probably next set of leafes is going to be the first that will mark the veg stage. I have added a little bit of ATHENA clense today and by far notging ha e changed since yesterday. DAY 16 RH 70 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 23C EC 290 pH 6.1 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 As I was expecting most of the job is pre-veg, what I mean is that the results we can see are mostly in root development and ohh boy this is a crazy root spike in just 24 hours. I don't know is it becose of the Athena or just the genetics of the seedling but Im really amazed. In just 11 days from first seedling until today and I'm seeing some crazy root development. I truly beleave that the next set of leaves will be marking the vegetative stage and then we can start the game. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 18 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 Okay two more days and we will be in veg. It's Not like we are not in veg today I just want to keep the update from Sunday to Sunday. DAY 19 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 We are in veg tomorrow so today we change nothing. Tomorrow will be great day.

Did a bit of loli-popping and some defoliation on the little guys. They are moved into the new tent and adjusting nicely! Next week my NEW MARS HYDRO LIGHT! should be here and I'm pumped for that! I think theses are gonna be some big girls!!! PH 6.1 and PPM was 1220/550 (yeah! got a ppm meter!) _______________________________________________________________________ I got my new Marshydro light installed! Its fantastic and after work the first night it was AMAZING to see how the plants had perked up for it!!! Its a very nice study light and totally makes me feel better about having a bigger light!!! The ladies are having a bit of trouble but I still think things are gonna be just fine. I'll put some pics up of the trouble next week __________________________________________________________________________ I took em out for a water and realized how much sparkly they are getting! There are some ugly leaves and the plants are a shade lighter green than i want, but really things are going nicely! I gave the small plant a little booster stand and its canopy is now level with the others but its like 2 weeks behind I feel like. definitely frustrating having 1 plant lag behind the others but it is what it is!

Hallo meine Freunde des gepflegten Grow sports! 💐 Die Damen sind abgehackt und aufgehangen davor habe ich alle Fächer Blätter entfernt noch als die Pflanzen im Zelt standen heut morgen Ach ja wir haben den 26.04.23 nur so zur Info 😂😂 danach habe ich alle Damen also 4stk an der Zahl genau unter dem ersten Knoten entfernt das gesamte ScroG netzt abgegangen umgedreht und wieder an gehangen (bin irgendwie faul diesmal) war die schnellste und einfachste Lösung und somit wurde aus dem ScroG netzt ein trocken netz 😂🍾😂 Jetzt heisst es warten bis sie trocken sind wie man sehen kann auf dem letzten Video überwache ich weiter die Temperatur und Feuchtigkeits Werte! liegen bei 50% rlf und guten 16 Grad, denke mal in 10 bis 14 Tagen werde ich dann diesen Bericht als ernte ein tragen da die Damen dann in die Gläser gehen werden zum curing, feucht Gewicht kann ich grad nicht sagen, da ich sie ja nicht aus dem netzt entfernt habe aber so bald sie in die Gläser wandern werden sie gewogen Ach ja bevor ich es vergesse habe die Basis der Pflanze dran gelassen da sonnst einiges aus dem netzt fallen würde ohne Befestigung. Wir lesen uns dann in ca 14 Tagen wieder wenn alles soweit fertig ist euch allen einen erfolgreichen Grow und bis die Tage 🖖🤘✌️👋

Dudes, this girl is butt wild, she won’t stop growing. I had to defoliate her severally times over the course of 2 weeks. I am running out of growing space for her. She measures more than 2x2 (L x W). Drinks more than a gallon of water every 3-4 days. May need to invest in a RO system. However, I am very thankful that shes doing well. This is a GG#4 x Zkittlez by Cream of the crop seeds.

Hello Growmies, As we conclude week 9 with our Epic Buzz trio, our spirits are high and our grow space is thriving. The introduction of an intake fan has been a remarkable success, significantly enhancing our control over the grow room's climate. Though not manipulated by Tent X's advanced automation, this new system has integrated seamlessly, working wonders for humidity regulation and fresh air circulation. The positive impact on the VPD is clearly reflected in the graph, showcasing a stable environment conducive to plant health and vigor. The plants themselves are a testament to this success; they've stretched up nicely, with the canopy becoming denser by the day, promising an abundant harvest. Each Epic Buzz, from #1 to #3, stands lush and robust, with a vivacity that indicates they're on the right track. It seems they're set to make us proud, not just as individual specimens but as a harmonious collection within our carefully curated tent. The precision in our approach continues to be our guiding principle, as evidenced by the meticulous adjustments to our environmental controls, shown in the steady data from our VPD readings. Our hands-on efforts complement the automated systems, creating an ideal balance that our Epic Buzzes are clearly loving. Looking forward, the prospect of the flowering phase fills us with anticipation. With the canopy now in optimal condition, thanks to our strategic planning and the supportive role of the intake fan, we're poised for the next stage of growth. The thriving Epic Buzz plants, along with our proactive measures like the fly trapping, signify that we're not just growing plants—we're cultivating excellence. Stay lifted, Salokin

Flowering Day 66 Harvested today. I'm really happy with the run. Towards the end of the flowering phase, the plants didn't look 100% happy. I'll add more perlite and pumice next time, as I suspect the soil was a bit too moist for too long due to the Autopots. The whole plant will be dried in one piece. I'll dry one in DryFerm bags for testing purposes. Update to follow. Stay green!

The first white pistils can clearly be seen now. I guess that's why she's getting more yellow leaves at the base but this also means that she is in the preflowering phase :) Due to this and the fact that the weather is great, she needs more water now. Aside from that she is starting to smell a bit more in the morning.

1/24 Seeing balls I think :( - Welp - Confirmed they are balls, #2 has them also, not sure if LST caused to much stress or what. To much pride to just kill them all. I will continue this grow concealed in the 3x3. Honestly thought I was doing everything right. Going to leave them together, I got a auto water system to help keep tent closed more often. Doing this for the experience, will deep clean tent and all equipment after. I guess my goal now is to just finish her up, I'm 4 weeks through, going to try to use this bud for edibles, etc. This is for the people who had a hermie, wanted to continue growing it, but couldn't due to there conditions. Here ya go, this will be a fun run. If this isn't a good idea let me know LOL. 1/25 - (early morning) after a little researching and thinking, I think I'll just kill the hermies out. #2 had the same sacks. Going to keep a close eye on #3,#4, but so far they haven't sexed yet, ended up chopping #1, #2 for the better. Done buying cheap seeds, I have went through recommendations to find the best genetics and a more reputable breeder, very soon will start diary on that which I am very pumped for. With 2 of these out now, Planning on putting another strain in with them. I got a little unmotivated experiencing this, but figured rather fix it now then set my self back another 4 weeks. Hopefully we still have luck with #3, #4 will hope for the best! 1/30 - Since chopping #1, and #2 due to them becoming hermie, I definitely lost some motivation on this run. I still have been watering and adjusting canopy with trellis. They have definitely blown up since 1/25, and are giving me much more motivation moving forward. I gave them recharge today. I have started slight LST again but just bending the top cola so it won't grow higher then other colas. I have started another run with Brother Mendel Genetics, and will be starting another grow diary series on them. Look out for it. I do apologize for the late updates, I hope you enjoy the updated documentation. Closing this week out, Definitely had a roller coaster typa week but things are starting to look up. 👉Check out My Instagram for daily updates @Seed2Weed_YT👈 Will Follow Back, Let's Grow Together 💪

Update: A productive and busy week in the farm this week. FFT#8 Got moved into the same tank as the other plants. Shebhas now thankfully started producing new roots and top growth too. With 2 weeks to catch up with her counterparts from germination alone , she jad a tall task ahead. Now with the recovery time and damage she took , her path is even more determined and set. I am hoping another week will give her some height to at least be flipped as her friends need to get into their flowering cycle now. FFT#9 Is responding to her supercropping well and staying put now. She jas a nice sized canopy forming of around 2ft so far . I am mindful of the stretch at this point so want to set her up into a good foundation for tall colas when i flup them. The strainnis very easy to work with and tooknfhe bending and supercropping with ease. So far it is a dream to work with. She is starting to smell "pissy" as most do at this point so all good so far. FFT#10 Is the biggest plant in the room at this point. Hwt stems are very thick and strong looking. Leaves are a nice dark green and very thick and large on her fans. They all had a defol earlier in the week and she has quickly replaced so much of her leaf matter already. A nice healthy and vigerous plant. She will be flattened a little more for the flip so I can manage her frame better. All told these ladies are proving to be great strains as the other have been and I am looking forward to seeing what they can harvest too now. Be well folks

Week 8 has gone well and she is chugging along. She is still putting out new pistils with some turning orange. Calyx's are growing longer and buds are still soft. I'm thinking a min of 10 weeks flowering for her. I removed some leaves on inner canopy to bring some air and light deeper. She is so bushy its hard to even defoliate maybe next time i will remove some more lateral branches... afterremoving the leaves I must have come incontact with a pollen sack as where I defoliated all seemed to be polinated over night and are making seeds :( I will cut my losses and harvest while seeds are still small.

Struggled with possibly a calcium and magnesium deficiency on #4. Had to remove some damaged leaves and now have separated it to her own reservoir. Has not stunt her growth, she is bout 5 inches taller atm then her sisters. Flow has been a struggle, if I was do one thing different is go with a 1" drain system instead of the 1/2" it presently has. Started with a drip, yet due to clogs and wanting a faster circulation, I changed to a steady flow over the clay. Presently #1 - #3 are on one reservoir and #4 on its own reservoir (In the video above shows #4). It's been a matter of adjusting the output flow and tubing size to get maximum flow without backing up the drain system.
