Updating for the week of 9/12 Euphoria is doing great. She responded well to the top dressing last week, but I figured she could use some more sugar so I gave her molasses and liquid nutes this week. There were a lot of worms that got exposed during watering so that's a really good sign that they're in there, working what wasn't completely broken down in the compost, and leaving worm castings behind👍 Otherwise I think it's all covered in the video! Obviously I didn't upload after taking photos and video, I thought I could push through my migraine a little more but then the kaleidoscope aura kicked in and I had to hide from the sun... and the rest of the world. Happy growing

Después de unos 4 días málos de lluvia, mucho viento pero nuestras niñas han resistido y se han puesto más fuertes. Solo regados antes con agua de la lluvia y con un poco de botella, sin nada solo pH controlado por última vez antes de proceder al te de compost. Luego de la lluvia al segundo día de sol procedí a preparar el te de compost aireado. Basado en 10l. 60g compost de estiércol de caballo 190g hummus de lombriz Cucharada de harina de algas kelp Cucharadita de humico fulvicos 47ml de melaza Aireado por 24 horas ingredientes sólidos en una bolsa de tela así asemejando una bolsa de tela gigante. Lo demas en el agua melaza y humicos. Remover bien disolver melaza luego encender bomba de aire. La tierra usada de base es una tierra en base de tierra antigua limpiada con agua de lluvia trabajada con humus compost y polvos kraken.. La idea es nutrir la tierra darle vida. Rociado y regado les ha sentado genial. La idea es para todo el jardín un mismo riego.

Well, there's not much to say, I was only waiting for the trichomes to ripe, and I finally got a good percentage of opaque compared to the transparent ones with almost 0 amberish also because all of them are mainly Sativa. Yesterday I started the 72 hours of complete darkness so Saturday morning I'm going to harvest the babies and hang them for the first drying process. 😊 I'm really curious about the final yield I hope is gonna be enough for me and my flatmates. 😋 Keep growing fellas! 💪

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.

This time it was this girl's turn with a great smell. A very good strain, easy to grow, fast, and without many demands. Besides the controlled environment, it has a sweet citrus scent that makes you want to eat it instead of smoke it, lol. The buds were a good size, very resinous, and sticky. I really liked the result and intend to grow it again ✌️💪🌿🍁

Potted up four gorilla girl xl in to 5 gal pots, using plagron light mix.🇬🇧 moistened the The soil gently in advance with 1l regular tap water and 4ml root juice. Using gloves pushed the seed just under the soil. dusted over With a bit more soil, added A tiny bit more water gently as possible and finally covered with humidity domes *Day 2, all four seeds germinated over night, chuffed! removed Humidity domes *Day 3, Two of the Four seeds are expressing yellowing, one just Having 1 yellow leaf. I’m guessing this was down to the seed case partially being stuck. and or bad ph. Ph up and down on route. *Day 4, mixed up a litre of cal-mag buffed Tap water, left out to dechlorinate/come to room temp and watered accordingly. Plant’s #1 and #2 progress. Plant 3# yellow leaf dropped. Plant 4# stunted but think she’ll be ok *Day 5, gave mini feed bio- grow and cal-mag then ph to 6.0. I changed the light cycle to 18hrs on, 6 off also *Day 6, possible nitrogen toxicity:/, just water from now

Greetings, fellow cultivators and botanical enthusiasts! Buckle up for the Week 6 Veg Report, where the saga of Jealousy unfolds with even more green grandeur. It's been an absolute thrill, a week of excitement, and a dash of horticultural finesse. First things first, let's talk about the latest addition to the Jealousy fanfare – the installation of a Scrog net. Oh yes, my friends, we've entered the world of controlled chaos, guiding our leafy companion into a magnificent dance beneath the net. It's like creating a green tapestry of foliage, where each leaf has its own place in the botanical ballet. This intricate web not only adds a visual spectacle to our growing sanctuary but also serves a practical purpose. It encourages the growth of an even canopy, ensuring that every bud site gets its fair share of light. It's like orchestrating a symphony of sunlight, allowing Jealousy to bask in the full glory of the grow room spotlight. And speaking of spotlight, let's talk about a little nutrient boost I introduced to our plant banquet – CalMg. It's like giving our green diva a backstage pass to the nutrient extravaganza. Calcium and magnesium play crucial roles in plant health, contributing to cell structure, enzyme activation, and overall nutrient uptake. It's the secret sauce for ensuring our Jealousy is getting that extra touch of botanical TLC. Now, let's dive into the art of bending and twisting. It's not a yoga class for our plant, but rather a strategic maneuver to shape and guide her growth. By gently bending and twisting the stems, we're encouraging an even distribution of energy and promoting the development of multiple bud sites. It's like teaching our green companion a choreographed routine, ensuring she takes center stage in the grand spectacle of growth. As we revel in the green symphony of Week 6, let's extend our heartfelt thanks to Zamnesia and Plagron for being the guiding lights on this verdant journey. Their support is the cornerstone of our horticultural adventure. A round of applause to the Grow Diaries community – your shared experiences and camaraderie continue to elevate our collective knowledge. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your plants continue to thrive, and may the joy of cultivation be a constant companion. Here's to a week of Scrog magic, nutrient symphonies, and the artful dance of bending and twisting. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of . Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only. Genetics - Jelousy @Zamnesia Nutrients @Plagron Light - @viparspectra P2000 Room size - 3x3 - 0,9x0,9

22-05-21 (Day 8) Today begins a new week for the Kosher Cake. I must say that it has a very rapid growth.. Maybe it will be that I am not used to growing autoflowers and therefore for me it is as if it were a new thing, being used to growing only photoperiodic plants.. 🤷‍♂️🏻😇 I am very curious to see what she will have to give .. As always, see you at the next update! 😎 Happy growing to all you guys ☮️💚 23-05-21 (Day 9) Today, bio-grow (0.7ml/2L) has been added to start giving sugars and vitamins to the plant essential for the initial phase of vegetative growth. Much love fam! ☮️💚 24-05-21 Day 10 She’s starting to grow some new shoots on her main stem, Now it is starting to take shape. 👏🏻☺️ Stay blessed fam, much love! ☮️💚 30-05-21 Day 16 The girl is growing at her best, I'm sorry to have to move her outside in the future..😕 She seems to really like her environment where she is living now. I started with a slight LST in order to let the light penetrate also in the lower branches.. Thanks to all of you for your support! ☮️💚

Week 11 complete. It’s been another week of just watering every other day. One of the girls is almost ready for a flush. The other two still have a couple weeks to go but they keep getting bigger and bigger buds. Can’t wait to chop one of these girls down I can almost feel it. As usual if any comment or tips please let me know.
