Here we grow! These are clones of Mandarin Cookies, rooted in peat plugs, under low light T5 Sunblaster 24w, inside a dome, keeping humidity levels high.

Not going to go into much detail on the individual plants this week since there is nothing exciting to report. Only note this week is something we all pretty much know already. Organics and hydroponics dont play well together! I was using gringo Rasta calmag and it clogged all my feed lines. I ordered some calimagic so this wont be an issue anymore. Everyone is growing well and stretching quite a bit. I started them on some maxibloom. I will increase it as I lower the maxigro over the next couple weeks. Pretty boring right now, but stick around a few weeks and that might change.

Ce run ce passe vraiment a merveille,aucun souci, plante vigoureuses et très saine ! Rien a signaler rien a dire ! Juste parfait ! Merci kannabia, Madame grow , et trolmaster !

7/1: This plant has been extremely fun to watch do its thing over the last few weeks. Those little mistakes I made or neglected in my first grow have significantly helped me get off on the right foot this time around. Not to mention, I feel that the plant/genetics is fairly low maintenance. As I mentioned at the end of last week's entry, I started a little LST on the lower most node. Today, I have added landscaping staples to the second lowest node to allow it to stretch out and get more light from under the quickly growing top canopy. In addition to starting LST on the second lowest node, I did bring the light down to 16 inches above canopy at 60% power. This gives me a PPFD reading of roughly 750, which could be inaccurate due to using the phone app, but it still gives me a good idea of how much I should bump light power up each time. 7/3: Today was a big day for the Mrs. Gorilla Cookie. I decided it was time to add in a bit more soil as well as some amendments. I added 3tbsp of Gaia Green Power Bloom 2-8-4 and 1tbsp Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4. I then reapplied the landscaping staples to continue LST. The plants seem to be responding well to the light increase that I applied on 7/1. At the time, I was worried it would be too much, but the plant is really soaking it up and praying toward the light. I may increase the light a bit more at the end of the week. In addition, I plan to try out a self watering base toward the end of the week. I will going out of town soon for the remainder of July and need to test the base before I leave. I do have buddies that will help, but I would like things to be as easy as possible for them. I also hear great things on these self watering bases and if it works out will, I will definitely incorporate them into future grows. 7/6: The end of week 4 has come and this plant is really starting to kick into high gear. I do think adding in the bloom amendments really helped. Great, speedy growth, and looking green and healthy. Pistils have started to form and she's definitely starting to get a little stank. The lights are still at 60% but due to the constant growth the canopy raised causing the light to be 12 inches close and PPFD up to 950. I did notice a tiny bit of tacoing so I lifted the light a couple inches. I am now trying to keep them at a constant 14 inches above the canopy with a PPFD of around 850. I will likely hold off on adjusting the brightness for another few days, as I am liking the results I'm seeing. I started the plant on her self-watering base yesterday when I would have usually given it a feeding. Its only been a day, so its too soon to tell just how well its working, but the soil seems to be at a perfect moisture at all times. I did feed a little from the top today to help some of the nutrients that may still be at the top work its way into the pot. Overall, solid week. This grow is already shaping up to exceed my expectations and I feel pretty good about making it through the Veg stage in one piece. On to the flowering stage! WEEK 4 AVG TEMP: 72.9F WEEK 4 AVG HUMIDITY: 64.1%

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 07/12/2019 - Fed her 2l of 6.5PH water with 0,5ml of each Grow, Bloom, Max and Alga-mic, and 1ml of each Heaven and Vera,noticed about 10% run off, also added a green filter to the camera lens. Adjusted the light distance to 55cm again it was toooo close about 32cm. 10/12/2019 - Decided to go back and check the basics, removed led strip to give a proper 'night' time, changing light cycle to 20/4h no more 'exotic' 22/2h, re-checked the light distance every 2 to 3 days to ensure 60-45cm and I can tell all ready she is loving it. Also added home made Co2 made with 1 tsp of yeast, 3/4 tsp of sugar 700ml of warm water in a 1l bottle with a tiny pin hole on the cap. 11/12/2019 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.5PH water with 0,5ml of each Grow, Bloom, Max and Alga-mic, and 1ml of each Heaven and Vera,noticed about 10% run off. 12/12/2019 - 8 weeks have passed and no flowers I guess I'm flipping to 1212h to see if she reacts.

Buenas! Venimos notablemente, tratando de mantener un clima entre 50-60 de H y 24-27 de T. Subimos el Led a 80% y ya le estamos subiendo la dosis de ferti y aditivos. Esta semana ya comenzamos a notar el engorde, y la intensidad de los olores muy marcados. Fenotipo 5: La mas resinosa, internudos mas largos, olor a pomelo y las flores son mas chicas. Puede quedar violeta. Fenotipo 3: cogollo grande y compacto, internodo mas corto, terminando en punta. Olor a tropical, piña 🍍. Fenotipo 4: cogollo muy denso y resinoso, con olor a piña 🍍 tambien pero con un toque banana 🍌. Fenotipo 2: el cogollo super denso y grande, pura resina. Olor no tan fuerte, pero es citrico vomp una naranja 🍊

Die 4BW bei der Strawberry is Klasse, der Strain saugt soviel Wasser ich komm da fast schon gar nicht mehr nach. Außen Temperatur is 31-32grad gewesen und die Pflanze steht immer noch sehr stabil und hat Bock Blüten zu entwickeln. Die Strawberry is auch am weitendsten von allen dreien :) der Geruch der Pflanze is auch unschlagbar, der Geruch erinnert an einer fruchtigen Obstschale ! Wenn man mit der Nase näher dran geht oder mit dem Finger über die trichome geht richt man die erdbeer gut raus. Diese Genetik wird auf jeden Fall zu mein Favoriten.

Welcome to my Barber shop @Barneys RS11 Banana OG New week with second topping done. Time to recover and build up her structure

Week 12: Tangie Finish Line in sight Today, I checked Tangie’s trichomes and noticed that 20% have already turned amber. This signals that it’s time for a flush. I’m using pH-balanced water (pH 6) with an EC of just 0.092 ms/cm due to my extremely soft water. My goal is to stress Tangie a bit in these final days to boost trichome production. I plan to remove some fan leaves two days before harvest and let the soil dry out slightly. She has about 4-5 more days to go. The aroma has become incredibly strong, with a vibrant, fruity scent dominating the air. It’s amazing how much more potent this smell is compared to the pre-harvested buds, which are now in the curing process and beginning to release that delightful orange and citrus fragrance. I’m eager to compare the flavor, potency, and high between the early and late harvests. The finish line is definitely in sight and I'm happy that I could let her ripen entirely to she what she is capable of 😍 Update 17.08 (Day 82) Today I decided to finally harvest the rest of this lovely Tangie. The trichomes showed a good mix of amber and cloudy trichomes, and I don't want to risk letting her overripen. I opted to cut only the fan leaves again to ensure a slow and consistent drying process. So far, so good, my friends—everything good must come to an end. Check out my harvest report of my Tangie lady for details on the yield, strain characteristics, and, of course, the smoke report. What's left to say? I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of you for joining me on this incredible and educational journey ♥️ Reaching nearly 2,000 views on my first diary is something I never expected, and it’s all thanks to your support. A special shoutout to Fast Buds for launching this contest—it gave me the motivation to share my experience—and for the outstanding strains you’ve brought to life. You are the best, guys. 💪🏽

The caterpillars were in fact not gone, as I suspected. Already two bud rots on Ozz, both with a caterpillar inside. Let’s see the extent of the damage but’m I expecting the worst. On the other hand her two sisters don’t show any signs of pest. They also smell much better (very tropical), not a fan of Ozz smell now I stop feeding them as I will harvest the two smaller in 1/2 weeks and Ozz one week after

The seventh week marked the official beginning of flowering. 🌸 After the flip to a 12/12 light cycle, the first white pistils started appearing across the canopy, confirming that Candy Hustle had successfully entered the flowering stage. At the same time, the SCROG net was installed and all main branches were carefully tucked underneath to spread the canopy as evenly as possible before the stretch really took off. 🕸️ Throughout the week the plant was only watered with plain water, CalMag and one feeding of Bio PK. 💧 No defoliation was performed, as I wanted to let the plant recover naturally while continuing to guide the branches through the net. The goal was to see how well the upcoming stretch would fill the available space before removing any foliage. 🌱 Despite an intense heat wave, environmental conditions remained as stable as possible. 🌡️ Temperatures stayed between 28-29°C with around 60% relative humidity. Normally I would prefer slightly cooler conditions, but even with additional equipment it wasn't possible to reduce the temperature any further. Fortunately, Candy Hustle handled the heat extremely well and continued growing without showing any signs of stress. 💪 Around the middle of the week the first noticeable stretch began. 📈 Daily growth became more obvious as the branches started reaching through the net, making it clear that flowering had officially started. The canopy continued to fill out evenly and the overall plant structure looked exactly as planned after the training. The yellow leaves visible on the plant are still the result of the nutrient imbalance from the previous week rather than a new issue. 🍃 Fortunately, the new growth is coming in much healthier, showing that the plant is recovering well and leaving the previous deficiencies behind. ✅ Overall, this was a very positive week. ✨ The transition into flower went smoothly, the training is paying off, and Candy Hustle looks ready to make the most of the flowering stretch over the coming weeks. 🚀 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 28-29°C 💧 Humidity: 60% 💡 Light: 40% (~600 PPFD) 🌸 Stage: Flower Week 1 (Transition Week) Water & Nutrients 💧 Water + CalMag 🌱 1x Bio PK Training 🕸️ SCROG net installed 🌿 Branches tucked under the net throughout the week ✂️ No defoliation

I’m super excited to grow Purple Haze. It’s been on my wishlist a long time.

750-800PPM

Start of week 10 Day 64 - Lightly Defoliated today and she smells wonderful. I’m the worst at detailing odours but all I can say it’s pleasant to the 👃 Now in a 2x2’ area she get 135W (HLG 3k) Next top dress should be coming up at the end of this week with Gaia Green 2-8-4 Day 70 - Received molasses Ph 6.4

Had to destroy one of my plants today , it was full blown male (bananas and balls )small BUT ?????, just like it came overnight , didn't notice it yesterday , hope there wasn't damage from him , look ok , moved it out immediately , fingers crossed🙏, take care all , thanks for checking in

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

Day 64: new week! Maybe a little overwatered but I think it’s alright! I think I will turn the autopot off for a day tomorrow! This is the light that I’m using for this grow! Mars hydro SP3000 High PPFD at 2.8 umol/j, average yield at 2.5g/w, increasing your yield 50% or more compared with old blurple and HPS lights, 300 watts output. Dimmer knob added, more convenient to adjust the brightness. Up to 30 lights can be daisy-chained and control together on just one light, or just have one lamp in 120x60 tent is perfect for light. https://www.instagram.com/marshydro_aliexpress2/
