4/13 10AM MONDAY They are looking pretty good. Got the ph stabilized and only running 98W! Using a few DROPS in 18oz to test Purpinator on veggies. 4/14 11am Using a little Purpinator .5ml per gallon and will have to do lots of runoff to prevent burns. Using vegetables to test fro Purpinator burns👍 4/15🚨🚨🚨 Your setup photos are great — thanks for sharing them. The R2-D2 power strip topper is a fun touch (he’s guarding the outlet like a proper astromech droid). Here’s a clear breakdown of what I see and my honest opinion on the power draw/safety. What you’re running • Two Mars Hydro TS1000 lights — These are officially rated at 150W each (real-world draw is usually ~145–150W at full power, sometimes a bit less if dimmed). You mentioned ~100W each, but they’re actually higher — so total for the two lights is roughly 300W. • Plus the two black fan speed controllers (one for each tent’s exhaust/inline fan). • A few small wall warts/adapters plugged into the white smart plugs or directly. • You measured 335W total across tents 1 and 2 on one outlet — that lines up reasonably (lights ~300W + fans/controllers ~20–40W depending on speed + minor losses). Is this safe on one standard outlet/circuit? In most US homes a standard wall outlet is on a 15-amp 120V circuit: • Max theoretical capacity = 15A × 120V = 1,800W. • Safe continuous load rule (National Electrical Code for things running 3+ hours, like grow lights): Stay under 80% = 1,440W max. Your 335W total is very low — only about 23% of the safe limit. That’s comfortably safe. No real risk of overheating the outlet, tripping the breaker, or fire hazard from overload right now. My opinion on the setup: • Good: Everything is neatly plugged in. The white smart plugs (with the green lights and blue indicator) and the labeled ones (9e, 10e, 11e) look like you’re using them for timers or monitoring — smart move for controlling lights/fans independently. R2-D2 adds personality and keeps the wall organized. • Fine for now: Two TS1000s + fans on one outlet/circuit is no problem at these low watts. Many small grows run similar loads without issue. • Long-term suggestions (to keep it safe and reliable as your grows expand): ◦ Don’t daisy-chain too much — You already have multiple adapters and controllers stacked. Avoid adding a lot more (e.g., dehumidifier, heater, or more lights) on the same outlet/circuit. ◦ Check heat — Feel the wall outlet and the power strips after the lights have been running for a few hours. They should be only slightly warm, not hot. If anything feels warm/hot, spread the load. ◦ Dedicated circuit is ideal — For peace of mind, run the lights on their own circuit if possible (or at least separate the fans/controllers if you add more equipment later). ◦ Surge protection — Make sure the main power strip or outlet has good surge protection, especially with grow equipment that can have inrush current when turning on. ◦ Monitor actual draw — Your 335W reading is helpful. If you have a kill-a-watt meter or smart plug that shows real-time watts, keep an eye on it when everything is at full power. The houndstooth shirt hanging on tent 2 is a nice personal touch — makes the grow room feel lived-in and less sterile. Quick safety checklist for your whole setup • All cords are in good shape (no fraying, especially the black ones going to the fans). • Nothing is blocking airflow around the plugs/adapters. • The inline fans and ducting look properly attached (important for heat and smell control). • If you ever add more lights or equipment, recalculate the total watts and stay under ~1,200–1,400W on that circuit. Overall, your power setup looks thoughtful and creative (love the R2-D2 detail). It’s not overloaded at 335W, so you’re good to keep running tents 1 and 2 like this while you sterilize and prep tent 3.

Update : week 4 for the Amnesia haze has been interesting. Sadly her 5th node snapped clean off during her lst so she is now an official quadline. She has settled into the pot so well now and has done a nice bit of growing the past few days. I am happy with her look and health. She should be a good finish too. The Sweet Afgani Delicious is happier now she is in the NFT tank along with the Red hot cookie. They look so lost compared to the Amnesia in her big pot and a few weeks older. They have perked up and started to show more chlorophyll over the past few days too. I think a week will give me a chance at some lst with the smaller girls. Be safe Growmies

Day 43 and i have to apologize for not updating this girl the past week or so, but non or less here she is,and she is doing great, i wold risk saying to much great that today wen i open my closet, half of her couldn’t take the wait from the fruits she’s producing so i pick up some yo-yos and try to fixit the best i could, should’ve put my net or something, my fail on that department and now im paying the price. Still feeding bud booster and k but i will very soon stop it all and start just watering, i believe she will go for whatever still is in my soil and after she will go to her reserves and start the fading out for her end of season . I think in a couple of days or so i will defoliate her since i notice that some parts are not getting enough light. Day 49 and i uploaded a video and some more photos, just corrected the dates since in my last post i type day 50 and that is only tomorrow lol my bad and corrected As always thank you guys for your love , your time, your support and it all, i fell blessed and i am truly thankful 💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌 All i grow is medicine for myself, for me and for my best friend with is me 😆 nothing to sell, so don’t even ask 😅💚💚💚 All info and full product details can be find in can find @ https://viparspectra.eu/collections/grow-lights DISCOUNT CODE 5% - DOGDOCTOR ( all store ) https://www.zamnesia.com DISCOUNT CODE 10% - GROWITGD ( just for seeds ) https://aptus-holland.com/ #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #viparspectra #zamnesiaseeds #growerslove With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚💚💚 More info and updates @ https://growdiaries.com/grower/dogdoctor https://instagram.com/dogdoctorofficial https://youtube.com/channel/UCR7ta4DKLFMg2xxTMr2cpIg 💚💚💚Growers love to you all 💚💚💚

Planta de fácil de cultivar y no muy exigente, en este caso usé solo productos orgánicos y también añadí cultivo de cobertura para enriquecer con nitrógeno el suelo y evitar la erosión del mismo. Un rendimiento bastante prudente y de calidad, estoy escribiendo esto luego de terminar el proceso de cultivo, secado y curado. En la siguiente reseña describiré sabores, aromas y sensaciones. Buenos humos!

Had a pretty serious gnat infestation this week. I noticed some movement in the runoff water after feeding. After taking video I made a 2:1 water to peroxide mixture to spray down the bucket and into the overflow trays of both plants in the tent. I also added a gnat traps and a low tent to help dry the soil and prevent gnats from hanging out there.

Sakura season has begun, I hope everything goes fine. Strawberry Pie is going to have a tough time this week, let's hope it survives, meanwhile there are signs of heat shock and sunlight, it's developing 3 point leaves and strange ramifications but maybe I'm wrong. D38 Defoliation, I hope I haven't overdone the pruning D41 First week of flowering, I think it couldn't have gone better, it's growing visibly, let's hope it's like this until the end, maybe shortening the timing, we'll see. on the contrary strawberry pie has stopped growing, I have to thank that she survived, who knows what will come out of her, I wish her a sweeter climate... D42 Defoliation is limited for what I did last night, I literally deforested, I did it because the humidity was sky high and the vegetation was too thick covering so many peaks,,, the fascinating thing is that they recovered within the night, if I may say that 6 hours of darkness relax the plants just as if they were on vacation.

Grew crazy. Really high. Co2 made growth explode and she drank like a horse. At her Height 2L a day. Nutrient feeds every day, or at min every other. Buds were huge but very airy. Very stinky zkittlez / Runtz typical smell. Nice Citrus fruity tones with earthy musky background smell & Taste, fruits range from apple to mango.. 8☆, if buds are been dense, would be 9 or 10. Yield was big. But too much foxtailing. Still a very strong 8 ☆ Rougly 1.5kg of high grade, some what larfy bud. But, still of a very high grade.

​📖 Chroniques de l'Oasis : La Marque Blanche ​🐪 Chapitre 9 : Les joyaux de la sultane ​Date : 2 avril 2026 Âge : Mi-Floraison Taille : 62 cm ( +16 cm ) ​Après des jours de marche dans l'immensité du Rif, j'atteins enfin la lisière. L'Oasis n'est plus un mirage lointain, c'est un mur de verdure luxuriante qui se dresse devant moi. La Sultane a grandi, elle mesure maintenant 62 cm. Ce n'est plus une promesse, c'est une grande dame parée de ses plus beaux bijoux : de grandes perles blanches — ces pistils étincelants — qui s'accumulent sur ses branches comme un trésor ancestral. ​Je quitte le sable nu pour m'enfoncer sous son feuillage. L'air change, chargé de son parfum de plus en plus envoûtant. La petite lumière blanche, cette étoile qui me guidait, approche. Elle brille désormais au travers des feuilles, m'indiquant le cœur du sanctuaire. Chaque pas dans cette végétation me rapproche du secret final. ​🏜️ État de l'Oasis ​Le climat de la vallée est parfait, stable et protecteur : ​Température : Jour 25°C / Nuit 21°C (La chaleur idéale pour que la Sultane s'épanouisse sans transpirer). ​Humidité : 50% (Un air sec et pur pour protéger les perles blanches de la moisissure). ​Lumière : Intensité 75% à 65 cm (Le soleil artificiel frappe fort, mais avec juste assez de distance pour ne pas brûler sa couronne). ​Vigueur : Une croissance de 16 cm depuis notre dernière rencontre. La structure épurée porte ses fruits. ​ L'Élixir de vie (Nutrition) ​Pour que la Sultane puisse porter le poids de sa beauté, je lui ai versé un nouvel élixir de force : ​Mélange : 2 ml de PK 5-8 dans 1 litre d'eau. ​Précision : Ajusté à un pH de 6,3. ​Le but : Donner le signal du gonflement. Le Phosphore et le Potassium vont transformer ces perles blanches en diamants de résine compacts. ​ L'Analyse ​: ​La Formation des Bud : les "perles blanches" sont magnifiques. Les fleurs se structurent très bien. On voit que les entre-nœuds sont courts, ce qui va créer des têtes denses et continues. C'est le résultat direct du LST passé et de la gestion de la lumière. ​La Santé des Feuilles :Le vert est profond et uniforme. Je remarque sur certaines pointes de feuilles un très léger jaunissement (vraiment minime). C'est le signe que tu es à la limite parfaite de la nutrition : elle mange tout ce que tu lui donnes, elle est au maximum de son métabolisme. ​L'Espace et la Pénétration : le nettoyage du bas (lollipopping) porte ses fruits. On voit que l'air circule parfaitement sous la jupe de la Sultane. À 50% d'humidité, c'est une autoroute pour la santé. Les têtes du milieu reçoivent autant de lumière que celles du haut. 📜 Anecdote du Rif : La "Touiza" et le Chant du Tamis ​Dans les villages perchés du Rif, comme à Ketama ou Chefchaouen, la culture n'est pas un travail solitaire, c'est un acte sacré appelé la "Touiza" (l'entraide communautaire). Les anciens racontent que lors de la récolte, on ne frappe jamais le tamis pour extraire la résine n'importe comment. Il existe un rythme spécifique, presque une transe. Les habitants croient que la plante possède la "Baraka" (la bénédiction divine). Si le cultivateur est en colère ou s'il brusque la plante, la Baraka s'enfuit et la résine perd son éclat et son pouvoir. Note du Nomade : "Le sable est loin derrière. Sous la canopée de la Sultane, je ne marche plus, je contemple. Les perles de demain seront les étoiles de mes nuits.​ 06/04 je lui est apporté son élixir de vie 4 mi de pk 5-8 dans 1 litres d'eau PH 6,3 merci à tous pour votre suivi et vos likes . thank you all for you likes et follow danke schon fur alles à la semaine prochaine

☀️ // Day 14 🍁 Yeah, about that stretch.. she is also a lenghty plant. She stretched from 30 cm (bend down!) to 70+ cm straight up. With means she more than doubled her size in every way possible. Which became a problem as you can see. Some leafs have very minor light burns and because of that, I needed to reduce the intensity from 100 % to 85 %. I maybe need to decrease it even further if she doesn't stop with it. My hopes are that with the lower intensity, she continues with her amazing journey. It's odd tho, that I have two plants after another in the VGrow that are just incredible stretchers. I just hope I reacted instantly enough but unfortunetely, I can't supervise her in the next 4 days because I am on a travel. She will explode in bud sites till then, I am sure. She got 5 L water today, with 1 g of Bactrex and 20 ml of Orgatrex. This is the beginning of her 3rd week of flower and she hasn't got any Microorganism since the beginning of flower. This will give the soil a boost for the upcoming weeks! 💦 Watering: 5 L with pH = 6.4 💊 Fertilizer: Bactrex, Orgatrex, Epsom Salt 💡 Light: 850 PPFD at 85%

Día 101 (09/09) Riego con 500 / 1000 ml H2O pH 6,5 Parece que se ha parado un poco el amarilleamiento que subía tan rápidamente por las plantas! Día 102 (10/09) Riego con 500 / 1000 ml H2O pH 6,5 Excepto LemonPaya, todas las plantas empiezan a llenarse de tricomas! 😍 Día 103 (11/09) Riego con 500 / 1000 ml H2O pH 6,5 Estoy emparanoiado con que la floración va lenta... Día 104 (12/09) Los cogollos no se están formado correctamente... Algo pasa... Los pistilos tienen un extraño color verde y no engordan... OnionOG #1 es la única que tiene un ritmo normal... Riego con 250 / 500 ml porque las temperaturas empiezan a bajar a 25 ºC diurnos / 22 ºC nocturnos y está bajando el consumo de agua... Día 105 (13/09) La deficiencia empeora... Solo se salvan OnionOG #1 y KS1 #2... Día 106 (14/09) La deficiencia sigue empeorando... Solo se salvan OnionOG #1 y KS1 #2... Día 107 (15/09) La floración se ha ido al traste! (Excepto OnionOG #1 y KS1 #2) Tras preguntar a Lurpe, GD e IG concluyo que el super soil tiene un bloqueo de nutrientes Debido al bloqueo, se ha detenido la floración en 4 de las 6 plantas Siguiendo las recomendaciones de Lurpe, hago flush hasta que el agua de escorrentía tiene una EC 2,5 (1250 PPMs) A ver si les da tiempo a recuperarse... 💦Nutrients by Lurpe Solutions - www.lurpenaturalsolutions.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

Que pasa familia, como podéis comprobar tienen un pequeño exceso de nutrientes, algunas hojas doblan hacia abajo, no obstante , esta variedad está empezando apestar con un olor bastante peculiar. Es una variedad que como te descuides también crece bastante, controlamos los parámetros de la temperatura y la humedad en lo establecido, 0 problemas en ese aspecto. Veremos cómo reaccionas esta próxima semana al overdrive y si notamos ya las diferencias.
