Just started turning the corner then went downhill again. Can this underdog hold on for 1 more post in week 4? We will see on this weeks 1Leaf Wonder, stay tuned.

This here is my second grow (1st in CoolGrows tent) and I’m proud to say I’ve fucked up significantly less than my Fyre Festival of a rookie season - 2 plants died in veg then my grow light fell on the only plant left that was 3 weeks into flower, severing 2 colas. So, yeah, while I have def dinked up a few things on this grow, it’s the garden of eden relative to the the nightmare on weed street that was my first attempt. Things I fucked up this time (so far) and won’t do next time: - Overcrowded the space. Got greedy and tried to fit 4 plants in my 3x3x6 tent. 0/10 would not recommend. - Tried growing 1 indica strain with the 3 WWxBBs. WWxBBs quickly grew taller and started robbing the lil indica friend’s light. - Added 2nd net a little late. It’s looser than it ought to be I’m not sure it’s providing ideal structural support to colas but prob better than nothing? - Want to try lollipopping next time. Air flow is ok but fan leaves are blocking light to some lower Bud sites and likely sapping energy that could be going to bud production. I’m probably messing something else up that I don’t even know I’m messing up. If you’re reading this and see something I could be doing better, let me know. Here to learn and grow the dopest dope possible. Love, Chip

1 down 1 To go 497g wet ;)))))

Hi guys, day number 40 is the last day at 18/6. Now I'll give 24 hours of darkness and Then I'll start the 12/12 cycle. If I have not done anything wrong, I think I will collect about 100 grams of dried flowers per plant. I have not had any problems and I hope everything goes smoothly until the end. Stay tuned 🦍😁💪🏻

Going good!

Flowers are forming 😎

Sto aspettando che i tricomi diventino un po' più maturi per raccogliere le altre due, rimarranno solo le altre due GMO che stanno riempiendo ancora i pistilli

Hallo zusammen 🤙. So das war es für die erste Super Skunk die andere kommt am Montag unters Messer 🔪🤙

Looks like growth has stopped and the work is going into the flowers. Some leaf tip burn but in not going to change anything, I could fuss and look at the TDS, but I've always got myself in a tis and mucked things up. I'd say this is looking to be an average yield. Not the smallest, not the largest!

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.

Hello! Today is the start of flower for zoap from premium cultivars! She has shot up huge these past few days, she is looking extremely healthy Give her half gal of water In between I give her some blackstrap molasses Can’t wait to see her pack on the weight, until then see you soon growmies ☮️ 08/07/23

Tag 32: Die Triple G zeigt ihr Vorblüte. Tag 35: Zeit zum entlauben und ich beginne mit LST. Tag 38: Die Pflanze hat meine Maßnahmen sichtbar gut überstanden und ist wieder wohlauf!

I've had to label these A B and C as they've got bit big with in the week lol I'm going to leave A to do her own thing will be FIM to B and topping C today and a bit of pruning as well @Kannabia

The plants are growing fast and soon I will have to repot them in 14 l Pots with the Allmix Soil from Bio bizz. Bruce Banner 3 Seeds tobe ahead in the race 🏎️ All pics are from Day 11

The Tropicana Cookies are starting to flower really nice, the Zkittlez want to grow out of the Tent i guess. Total Nutrient Consumption over the week was around 40 Liters :D

1st day 5th week of veg.......Bushing out well still got a little space to fill before allowing them to shoot up only a week or 2 away from flipping the reefereshers plant to flower as it will double to triple the length in the flower phase ... had issue with air flow as was only using a circulation fan . So I have installed a carbon filter and black orchid extractor fan and a temperature n humidity sensor so hopefully that helps ..... The 2 autos are coming along great in the tent atleast 3/4 branches off both of them .I've used lst on both of them tieing the tops down and allowing more light penetration to the lower canopy .... The autos are 1x critical x northern lights auto 1x cash crop auto (northern lights x big bud)

German version below: Critical Neville Haze Auto | Let the new adventure begin So, it’s finally time to get started with our new project! The Critical Neville Haze Auto had us curious even before the first leaf appeared. Its flavor is described as “sweet metallic”, which is either incredibly exciting or a very creative way of describing something rather special. Either way, it’s a welcome change for us. At around 90% Sativa, this is the first strongly Sativa-dominant plant we’ve grown in quite a while. We’re especially curious to see what the little 10% Indica from Il Diavolo (DS8) will contribute in the end. Maybe a bit more structure, maybe some extra chill in the genetics. We’ll find out. All the seeds looked really good, so our selection process was, of course, based on highly scientific criteria: we simply picked the one that looked the most potent. Grower logic. Now we’re just hoping she doesn’t taste quite as loud and colorful as the packaging looks. We’re absolutely thrilled to be part of this contest and just as excited to see which great Diaries we’ll be competing against. That’s exactly what makes these contests so much fun for us: discovering new grows, getting new ideas and seeing how our own experience holds up against other growers. Since the weather is still surprisingly nice at the moment, we initially let the seed start outdoors. She didn’t get to enjoy that freedom for long, though. Right after planting, she moved indoors. Apparently, her outdoor career was a very short one. New nutrients!!! ATAMI A very special thank you goes to Marc/Mark from ATAMI. Our informative and genuinely great conversation made us curious about the ATAMI nutrient system and ultimately convinced us to give it a try for the first time in this Diary. We’re really interested to see how the system performs in everyday use, especially with almost daily feeding and such precise dosing. A little spoiler right from the start: a 1 ml syringe was included. That at least suggests we’re not supposed to follow the classic grower philosophy of “roughly this much should do” or “more is better.” And honestly, we like that. For the substrate, we’re sticking with our tried-and-tested BioBizz soil for now. The mix is approximately 70% All Mix, 25% Light Mix and a small amount of worm humus. So we’re combining a familiar and proven foundation with a completely new nutrient system for us. Now it’s time to keep our fingers crossed, observe carefully and, most importantly, avoid over-optimizing everything into oblivion. A big thank you to Delicious Seeds and ATAMI for their support. We’re incredibly excited about this contest and can’t wait to see where this journey takes us. Let’s see what the Critical Neville Haze Auto can do with that Sativa-heavy genetics and whether she really surprises us with that mysterious “sweet metallic” flavor in the end. We’re definitely curious and happy to take you all along for the ride. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Critical Neville Haze Auto | Let the new adventure begin So, endlich geht es los mit unserem neuen Projekt! Die Critical Neville Haze Auto hat uns schon vor dem ersten Blatt neugierig gemacht. Der Geschmack wird als „sweet metallic“ beschrieben, was entweder verdammt spannend oder eine sehr kreative Beschreibung für etwas ziemlich Besonderes ist. Für uns ist sie jedenfalls eine willkommene Abwechslung, denn mit rund 90 % Sativa ist sie seit längerer Zeit mal wieder deutlich sativadominant unterwegs. Besonders gespannt sind wir darauf, was die kleinen 10 % Indica von Il Diavolo (DS8) letztendlich beisteuern. Vielleicht ein bisschen Struktur, vielleicht etwas mehr Entspannung im Genpool. Wir werden sehen. Die Samen sahen allesamt richtig gut aus und die Auswahl war entsprechend wissenschaftlich fundiert: Wir haben einfach den genommen, der am potentesten aussah. Growerlogik eben. Jetzt hoffen wir nur, dass sie geschmacklich nicht ganz so quietschig daherkommt, wie die Verpackung aussieht. Wir freuen uns riesig, bei diesem Wettbewerb dabei sein zu dürfen und sind mindestens genauso gespannt darauf, mit welchen großartigen Diaries wir uns messen dürfen. Für uns ist genau das der Reiz an solchen Contests: Man lernt neue Grows kennen und bekommt neue Ideen. Da das Wetter aktuell noch überraschend gut mitspielt, durfte der Samen zunächst draußen starten. Lange durfte sie dies allerdings nicht genießen. Gleich nach dem einsetzen ist sie ins Haus eingezogen Neuer Dünger!!! ATAMI Ein ganz besonderes Dankeschön geht an Marc/Mark von Atami. Das informative und wirklich gute Gespräch hat uns neugierig auf das Atami Düngesystem gemacht und letztendlich davon überzeugt, es in diesem Diary zum ersten Mal auszuprobieren. Wir sind sehr gespannt, wie sich das System im Alltag schlägt, vor allem bei der beinahe täglichen Anwendung und der Dosierung. Ein kleiner Spoiler gleich zu Beginn: Eine 1 ml Spritze war bereits dabei. Das lässt zumindest vermuten, dass hier nicht nach dem Motto „Pi mal Daumen und viel hilft viel“ gearbeitet wird. Genau das gefällt uns. Beim Substrat bleiben wir zunächst unserer bewährten Biobizz Erde treu. Die Mischung besteht ungefähr aus 70 % All Mix, 25 % Light Mix und einer kleinen Portion Wurmhumus. Bewährtes Fundament trifft also auf ein für uns neues Düngesystem. Jetzt heißt es Daumen drücken, beobachten und möglichst wenig kaputtoptimieren. Wir bedanken uns bei Delicious Seeds und Atami für die Unterstützung und freuen uns riesig auf diese Wettbewerbe. Mal sehen, was die Critical Neville Haze Auto aus ihrem Sativa Genpool macht und ob sie uns am Ende tatsächlich mit einem „sweet metallic“ Geschmack überrascht. Wir sind auf jeden Fall gespannt und nehmen euch auf die Reise mit. 😁.

Topped her. She's doing well. Will need to transplant soon

Starting week 5 now. Still just watering with rain water. Girls still doing exceptionally well. Still no deficiencies and 2 of outer plants now trying to out grow center plant. Trichromes starting to form. Good leaf colors and room really starting to fill up with bud sites.
