Seeds from Humboldt Seed Company germinated faster, but Green House Seed Co. plants have been growing bigger so far...

Hello Growmies, As we conclude the sixth week with our Epic Buzz plants in the Tent-X Ultimate Grow Showdown, we've seen substantial growth and faced some climatic challenges head-on. The plants have thrived under a regimen of defoliation, lollipopping, and scrogging, developing into robust specimens ready for the flowering stage. The extended watering intervals and the consistent application of our chosen nutrient blend, Alga Grow, Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca, have supported their vigorous development, ensuring they are well-nourished and hydrated. However, managing the environmental conditions, particularly during the night, has presented some hurdles. The recent introduction of a custom-built extraction box has been our latest strategy to combat the high humidity levels we've been battling during the lights-off period. This innovative solution has shown promising results, offering a more controlled grow atmosphere by extracting humid air directly outside, preventing it from lingering in the lung area of our setup. Despite this improvement, the integration of the Mars Hydro fan with the Tent-X system remains unresolved, leading to less than ideal fluctuations in our VPD levels. The lack of support from Mars Hydro, Secret Jardin, and even TrolMaster in providing clear guidance for this integration has been a stumbling block. We're considering a shift back to the reliable Prima Clima system, known for its seamless compatibility and ease of use. In the spirit of community and shared growth, we're reaching out for any advice on connecting a 5-phased PWM motor to the TrolMaster controller. The collective wisdom of this community has always been a guiding light, and any insights would be greatly appreciated. The resilience of the Epic Buzz plants, their lush canopies, and strong structures speak volumes of their potential as we edge closer to the flowering phase. With a mix of innovation, community support, and a bit of grower's grit, we're navigating these challenges, committed to providing the best care for our plants. Stay Lifted, Salokin

First grow ever, may the auto gods bless this grow 🙏

Inicio de flora , aumentar potencia de leds a 300W y empezar con el bloom. Aunque el crecimiento es lento también tocó seguir subiendo los led . Una semana que terminó bajando mucho la temp. En el exterior habria bajado por debajo de los 0ºC afectando directamente sobre las plantas. No fue suficiente con dos calefactores. por lo que se añadiria otro de más

Too much stress,really cold environment,some times with the grow light off the temperature is around 13/15C and the air goes direct to this plant because the fan is close enough,the Plant doesn’t give up and has some over feed too,idk why but I’m using nutrients after 15/20 days and half of dosage that BioBizz says and I still have over feed a little bit and nutrient lockout maybe because I’m using some Bio Molasses Blackstrap but if I’m using molasses I’m not using bio grow and I’m using like 3/4ml per L.The LST is because the plant got really tall that the grow lamp couldn’t go higher because of my grow tent size and I needed to break the top cola.

Evening fellow growers. Hope all is well and you’re all doing great! ⚠️I’m down to one 😞😞😞😞 the other lady is now chilling in the garden. I was running out of space and no matter what I did I couldn’t get her back. I will add more pics but it’s just too cold in the garage to have them out. This has got to be one of the hardest grows i have done. I always knew starting this early in the year was going to be hard and it’s proving that way. And again a massive shout to James and the team at RQS for supporting me and supplying me with the seeds. 🙌 Here we are week 6 the start of the second week of flower. This lady is moving along alright (I think) although the cold weather is back and has not been to kind over the last couple days. She is still stretching out which is good, some sativa characteristics coming through. Just signs of cold which isn’t the best. The bud sites are forming slowly and the structure of these plants looks good. Let’s see what this week brings. ✌️ Day 37, Watered tonight with 500mil she is doing ok. Added some nutrients in today as she has only been on plain water and looking a little faded. I’ll try get some pics later but it’s too cold to be in the tent any longer than I need to be. ✌️ Day 38, warmer today and this girl is finally starting to love life. Nothing done today just a few photos and a little video. ✌️ Day 39, watered with 500mil and a bit of feed. Took a few leafs off too. ✌️

got hermies in flower week 2...tried to remove most but it seems they spread their love already....found seeds on all other plants :( plant still looked great and got a great yield!

📆 Semana 9: La Candy Bubatz XL avanza firme hacia la culminación de su floración. Los cogollos continúan aumentando en tamaño y densidad, mientras la resina se intensifica, cubriendo las flores con un brillo denso y pegajoso. Los pistilos presentan un cambio de color más pronunciado, con tonalidades anaranjadas y marrones que indican la madurez progresiva. Los tricomas muestran un predominio de tonos lechosos con algunos ámbar, señalando que el punto óptimo para la cosecha está cada vez más cerca. La planta sigue sana, sin signos de estrés, y responde bien al plan nutricional adaptado. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Havent thought that i would share it later iafter 10 years.

Yes man à la jamaïquain les frère la bonne sensimilia qui defonce les poto la prochaine arrivé

The spring is coming. The T is 19 C max 15 C min. This winter was dificult this year because she grow up to slowly. I hope bog buds.

Waiting for amber tricomes

Ok now it looks to go good no signs of Amy strange things so far 👌🏾👌🏾

Week 7 She's still going strong, while Royal Queen Seeds has stated that this strain is ready in 8-9 weeks, I'm wondering whether this pheno will surpass that window. Imagining her not making it to the end of next week is hard, given she's going this strong and her budsites are still in full development. Her smell has increased and her Cookies Auto genes are coming through. Although her sugarleaves still give off that citrusy scent when rubbed, her actual buds and pistils give this faint vanilla-like cookie smell. Whilst I forgot the exact parent strains she has, I was certain it had to be something 'cookie' like - which turned out to be the case. I started occasionally feeding her with PH balanced Potassium + CalMag alone, to aid her flower development and to not overdo the amount of nitrogen that's in her regular feed. Also increased the amount of water, adding an extra liter of tapwater after normal feed - in hindsight perhaps it would have been better to pre-moisture with the extra water before adding nutes. Come to think of it, this might have affected her more than was apparent in week 7.

Hello again, Growdiaries community! 😎 We have reached the end of the vegetative stage with my Critical, and I couldn't be happier with the results. This week has been entirely focused on preparing the 'engine' for the explosive flowering phase that begins this Sunday. 📏 Evolution & Structure: The plant is now 20 cm tall. After the intensive training last week, she has spent these days consolidating those 4 main colas. The canopy is perfectly flat, and the secondary shoots are receiving direct light thanks to a final strategic cleanup. ✂️ Applied Techniques: Selective Thinning: I performed a cleanup in the center of the plant. By removing internal leaves and small shoots that were shaded, I’ve guaranteed total light penetration and better air circulation around that massive fasciated stem. LST Maintenance: Adjusted the ties to keep the structure wide. No more topping from now on—I want those 4 heads to stretch vertically! 💧 Watering & Nutrition (The Big Jump): Volume: Increased to 1 Liter of water per session. Water Temperature: Always watering with lukewarm water (approx. 21°C) to avoid thermal shock, which is vital when growing in an outdoor terrace setup. Fertilizers: Stepped up the dose to 2 ml/L of Bio-Grow. The plant is responding with a deep, healthy green and zero signs of stress. 🌤️ Bunker Environment (Terrace Setup): Temperature: Stable at 27°C with lights ON. Even though external temperatures drop to 1-2°C, my 'closet-within-a-closet' system keeps the minimums at a safe 18-19°C. Lighting: My QBK1500PLUS (150W) is running at 100% in Veg mode, kept at a 60 cm distance to encourage that final pre-flowering stretch. Aroma: A very noticeable 'fresh green' scent fills the tent every time I open it! Next Step: This Sunday is the BIG DAY. I’m switching the timer to 12/12, activating the Bloom switch (adding the Red/IR spectrum), and getting ready for the legendary Critical stretch. The structure is ready, the nutrition is on point, and the bunker is prepared. Let the flowers come! 🌸 Thanks for following! Happy growing! 😉👍

Chopped on day 67, could have gone longer. But DAMN this blew past all my expectations, mostly because of the lighting challenges. I got 126 grams with 5 weeks of veg with a less than optimal positioned 400 hps, HELL YES. Not to mention it is probably the best THC strain I have ever had, certainly the best smelling, at least.

Tangerine Dream Auto - Barney‘s Farm Mein erster Indoor Keller-Grow neigt sich dem Ende zu. Es ist bunt geworden im Zelt. Die erste Blüte habe ich bereits vaporisiert und bin ziemlich begeistert vom Geschmack und der Wirkung. Leider habe ich aufgrund persönlicher Umstände nicht im Ansatz geschafft hier ein paar Tagebücher zu führen. Es war für mich ein extrem stressiger Winter und ich bin froh, dass ich wenigstens regelmäßig ein paar Fotos machen konnte. Der Anbauraum hatte zwischen den Pflanzen gemessen eine Minimaltemperatur von 17,4 Grad und während der Vegetationszeit konnte ich die Auto-Damen Tagsüber mit bis zu 28 Grad unter einer Sanlight Evo 4-120 1,5 verwöhnen. 18/6 - Licht/aus. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit war in der Veggiephase bei ca. 65-75 Prozent im Zelt und in der Blütephase konnte ich sie Stück für Stück absenken auf 55-43 zum Ende hin. Gedüngt habe ich ein einziges Mal mit 1:20 sauberem Urin am Ende der dritten Woche. Ansonsten gieße ich auf das Terra Preta ähnliche Substrat ausschließlich mit hartem Leitungswasser mit Ph 7,6. Das Substrat wurde kurz nach der Sämlingsphase mit einer dicken Schicht Laub, Braun- und Grünschnitt Mulch abgedeckt, welchen ich zuvor dreißig Minuten bei 150 Grad im Ofen gedämpft habe (Sterilisation). Es kamen Nematoden, Raubmilben und Gelbtafeln zum Einsatz, weil wir mit einer ziemlich unangenehmen Trauermückenplage zu kämpfen hatten. Anfang der Blütephase kam es zu einer Nährstoffblokade aufgrund von Überwässerung. Das Substrat hält die Feuchtigkeit sehr lange und die Mulchschicht verhinderte ein Austrocknen des Substrats. Wir haben anfangs deutlich Zuviel gegossen und das Substrat nicht etwas austrocknen lassen. Nach Anpassung des Gießintervalls auf alle drei Tage mit ca. 2-2,5 Liter, löste sich das Problem nicht in Luft auf, aber wir konnten es aufhalten. Meine Pflanzen sind bereits geerntet und hängen zum Trocknen. Viel Spaß mit den farbenfrohen Bildern. Happy Growing! 💚

Happy Easter. According to my calculations, the final week is beginning. Or the second to last. Let's see. I defoliate everything that has turned yellow. I think I read once that shortly before the end it is normal for the plants to draw all their nutrients from the leaves. So everything looks good, I think. Oh yes, I put my fan on the ceiling “McGyver-style”. Functions. Have fun looking for eggs.

Approaching the final weeks ❄️💪
