Greetings my dear Jungletamers, So a major surprise came when @MarsHydroLED contacted us and asked if would like to try out their new SP 3000 light. Being a fan of Mars Hydro for years, we of course accepted their offer. We are totally in love with this light. I was when I saw it in another grower's setup and was in awe of its output and results. So with much pride and thankfulness for the presents the Universe bestowed on us, in the form of MarsHydroLEDS offer and the bountiful harvest of the last grow, (which I am thoroughly enjoying btw, such a great weed to have grown ourselves) we start out on a new adventure that we can't wait to share with you. With many lessons learned from the previous grow, a mighty producing strain in the form of Expert Seeds Gorilla Glue #4, a.k.a Expert Gorilla's and a tweaked super soil mixture, we are setting out to hopefully get over a gram per watt, preferably 1.5. The Setup A 4.5 (140 cm) x 2(70) x 6.2 (200) grow tent, giving me a .98 m2 workspace. This space is customized to my needs. A standing fan will provide airflow through the whole grow, a top fan will help guide cooler air past my lights onto the grow. 3 56 ltr pots will be the home for the plants when they are 2 weeks old, up to then in smaller jars. The Light The leading role and star of the show will be played by the Mars Hydro SP-3000, so kindly provided by MarsHydroLED, which we will test and review here and I might say, endorse. I'm very careful with who I endorse and support these days, but a company with that many wins in design, I'm talking ever since their first range came out in 2009 these guys have been raising the bar for the whole industry, I did not hesitate to support this leading brand. If you want to compete with these guys, you better bring some quality AND affordable pricing. Why do I endorse the SP-3000 without ANY hesitation? It is seriously THE BEST light on the market in this price range and size group. It has an enormously effective output in U/Mol and with 30% less energy waste comparing to older LED lights. Prove me wrong! And with a company holding a considerable market share selling thousands of units every month, competing on price and quality, one would think that customer service would suffer. Of course, also Mars Hydro is not perfect, but check the sheer amount of people that not only praise the light but also the service received, should the light somehow not perform up to par. It is this dedication to their customer base that made this company have a fanbase... Yes, a fanbase with a website and a wiki. So if you are looking to buy new lights, check out the END OF SUMMER OFFER at the Mars-Hydro Global Store on Aliexpress: https://marshydroled.aliexpress.com/ 👈 Check their offers but also their score, they ship from a warehouse near you so you don't have the extra import fees!! Cut out the middleman and have a deal on these lights!! At the moment I write this in August 2021, the lights are 408,20 euro when sent from Germany to the rest of Europe, that's 40 euro cheaper than the other Mars outlets, BUT EVEN 60 euros cheaper than ordering at a grow store!! The Strain: Experts Seeds - Expert Gorilla feminized regular. Don’t let the name fool you because Expert Gorilla is suitable for growers of any skill level. However, you do need to be an experienced smoker because Expert Gorilla is one of the most potent strains on the market. Lineage: Chem Sis x Chocolate Diesel x Sour Dubb Popularity: Extremely Popular Flavor/Aroma Profile: Chocolate, Earthy, Fuel Yield: 400 g/m2 Stress Tolerance: High resistance to disease Potency: 24% THC Flowering time: 58 - 63 days The Soil: Those who saw my Monstercropped Gelato #33 grow (you should see it if you didn't, I'm so proud of that grow), know about my super soil and organic nutrients/ permaculture tea combo that starred in my previous diary. Because of the great results, we are going to use the same recipe, adjusted some more with some new ingredients that will complete the mix and give an even more sustained super soil buffer. 20% Atami Bi-grow (very similar to ocean forest) 20% Atami worm castings 20% Atami Coco Coir 10% Hydrocorn 10% Peat powder 1 cup Fossil seaweed chalk 1 cup bonemeal 1 cup bloodmeal 1 cup Microlife 3-4 teaspoons of epsom salt 3 cups of activated biochar (activated with our own permaculture tea) I just made layers, starting with hydro corn on the bottom to aid airflow/run-off. On this I started layering the coco coir, Bi-grow, peat, castings, and amendments in a way that the more mature the plants get, the more phosphorous and less nitrogen they will find. Every time I made three layers, I would mix them by hand. This way we simulate natural soil, which consists of humic layers, composting plant waste, fungal and microbial life, and nutrients from fossilized sources. The Nutrients I will start with just adding 6.4 PH water, although this soil should buffer ph itself and regulate, after 4 weeks, I'll slowly be adding: - Biobizz Grow - Plagron Alga Grow - Biobizz CalMag - Biobizz Flower - Plagron Alga Flower - Biobizz Topmax - Melasses The Tea Some of you might remember the permaculture tea from my previous grow, I have a short video in my harvest page showing how we make it), it will star again in this grow. - (Rain)water - Comfrey (whole plants) - Dandelion leaves - Roots and leaves from the earlier grow - Minor periwinkle (Finca minor) is a plant we have in our garden, it contains an alkaloid that is associated with increased brain function but also is a light toxin for wee beasties and other unwanted guests like gnats (who hate it). - When flowering I add some wood ash to this mix Thank you for checking in on one of my grows again! Thanks for all the love on my previous grow, check it out if you haven't seen it!! Hug Bud

03/18/2022 I have not shown the third clone as much because of training I will start with her this week. Did some wiring wrap around on two branches, and stem cracked, super cropped third branch. ( I ran out of wire had to improvise) I got one clone for this girl starting! All Girls update I will post pics on day 2. Tomorrow🙏🏻 Ps. I fed (watered) with molasses, and aloe gel fresh squeezed by me.and organic grown (by me) One tbls (14.787ml) of each in two gallon jug(7.571l) also I layered coast of Maine 5-2-4 one teaspoon per layer one on top as well. I like the extra potassium in this blend as plants can absorb and store more potassium and save for later use (flowering) . 03/20/2022 Here are flowering girls

WEEK 11 - 17/4/2021 - 23/4/2021 17/4/2021 - 20 gal water mixed with the following: Liquid silicon - 1ml/L - 76ml Cal Mag - 3ml/Gal - 60ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Bloom - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Fulvic acid - 2.5ml/gal - 50ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 40ml Nitrozyme - 0.5ml/L - 40ml pH - 6.28 EC - 1.12 mS/cm T - 25 18/4/2021 - Plant 1 Moby Dick is the tallest and I have been consistently supercropping it to maintain even canopy with the other 3 plants. When the other 3 pkants have caught up with the growth, the suppercropped branch is straitened back and a soft twist tie. 21/4/2021 - I'll be away for few days. So I decided to go back Autopot for the few days I wont be around. I think it should be fine. Once I'm back, I'll go back to top feed and fertigate enough to have significant run off to wash off all the salt build up. 10 gallon of water mixed with the following - Cal Mag - 3ml/Gal - 30ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Bloom - 3ml/Gal - 30ml pH - 6.28 EC - 1.12 mS/cm T - 25 22/4/2021 - the Autopot idea didn't work out. The new tubing I got was 1mm bigger than its supposed to be. And thus caused leakage at all the connections. Well back to top watering then. But the plants won't be watered for two nights. I really hope they'll be able to hold on till I come back.

These girls are super sticky! Resin is building up all over the place, including the leaves. I've been defoliating like crazy but they just keep coming back.

Great plant from start to finish. Chopped it 78 days from planting into FFOF soil. Took 7 days to dry. Total weight was 40 grams dry. It's been less two weeks so it's hard to tell on the effects and how it smokes, but 10 days and I enjoy it a lot. Smooth and pretty strong. It's hard to really rate it, but as of now I would give it a 7.84/10. I will update in a month or so once it's cured and i've turned some into concentrate and compared.

Auto Flower AK Triple Haze (A-AK3H) by Super Sativa Seed Club: Day 42 from seed, 17 Days in flower. All are Green, healthy & growing. Still running a comparison of living soil+Teas vs Coco/Perlite+Fertilizer. Dramatic difference as you can see in the video. Not a lot of difference in Bud size though. But we will see. Still some time for the stack & ripening stages. Exception of course is A-AK3H #3 whom is the runt of the litter since it began. Weekly Environment: 77F, 46% RH, 975ppm CO2, & yesterday moved to 1100-1300PPFD 12hr Lighting. A-AK3H #1, 2, & 3 all received 2 teas this week along with an amended soil application to keep up with nutrition.

Finally my QB 240W come and it's incredible bright. i flip it to 12/12 this week to make sure the small tent 90 x 90 x 180 not blowing up. after 4 day i witness good stretch from the tree and the temp also decrease to 30 celcius average. I'm happy with my grow so far hope to get 100 gram out of this harvest.

Nate ad aprile queste 3 gorilla glue xl assieme ad altre varietà dutchfem in outdoor sono state magnifiche! Nonostante la temperatura notturna calata drasticamente fino ad 8 gradi più pioggia, vento e sbalzi di temperatura vari, comunque le gorilla sono cresciute nel migliore dei modi, più di 700 grammi essiccata una sola gorilla dico si può pretendere di più da un seme femminizzato outdoor? Dolci fruttate e forti, ottime per uso ricreativo e medico.. La particolarità della gorilla xl di dutchfem è che è specialmente dolce e fruttata a tratti ricorda la torta di ciliegia.. Si sente che sono alte di thc.. Facili da crescere outdoor con le giuste attenzioni resistono a freddo, muffa e pioggia e non subiscono invasioni da insetti come altre varietà.. 10 e lode di voto, provare per credere! Bravissima dutchfem seeds!

: Total days - 46 Plants are overgrown, but otherwise still happy and healthy. The drip system used here is garbage. Never use those types of mini sprinklers. You'll spend endless time adjusting based on any minor thing that causes pressure changes in the line. Use pressure-compensating emitters. The videos shows these functioning, but it was an endless nightmare of constant adjustment. Adjusting at the emitter sounds like a good idea, but it is the devil.

For my first run I am happy with my results even though the yield was very low . The banana cake is frosty and has a great nose on it . The bud has white ash and overall it tastes great . I will be doing another grow soon and Im going switch it up . Going to be a great next grow so don’t miss it .
