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.

Flowers are on! 🌸🔥 Flowers are clearly visible now, with one of the plants already showing a strong purple colour — very curious to see how this develops! 💜 However, the top-right plant is looking a bit limey, so I’ve ramped up the nutrients while keeping an eye on the runoff. It’s also showing tiny spots of calcium deficiency, so I suspect it might be a root issue. These deficiencies are minor, though — overall, the plants are still going strong. Probably the most impressive autos I’ve run so far! 🚀🌱 Stats so far: 💧 Watering: 1.5L every other day 💦 Humidity: ~65% RH 🌡️ Temp (lights on): 22–26°C 🌡️ Temp (lights off): 20–22°C 📈 Avg.

Week 3

This week I harvested these two Quebec Black Bud, it was really a great experience. Its unique appearance and these colors charm us from start to finish. Calm in vegetation but surprises us in flowering. I can't wait to see the final product 😇 Harvest : Pheno #1 day 56 flowering 119 total Pheno #2 day 60 flowering 123 total Training : They have received my hand manipulation since day 8 and this every day to force them to grow bigger and stronger until the addition of the scrog. I started my base again on a manifold. For now I'm having fun like that, let's see later 😁 I'll leave you with these beautiful photos and come back to you later. After drying and curing I realize how the color is an intense purple almost black, The genetics are not called Quebec black bud for nothing. the buds are really compact, I know that with the auto pot system I give myself a chance that they will be denser but I believe that hard training leaves its mark.

Animal Mints »»» Animal Cookies x SinMint Cookies X BlowPops Bx1 »»» BlowPops x CaliSunset I named it as "Animal Pops" These freebies really amaze me with the flavor than I expect ( Better than the purchase pack😹) #1 got a taste of mild mints and head-high effects like it's massage your face #3 more fresh mints than#1 and relax high #4 got a dank smell after grind but not's good with joints #5 got the best of mints scent and amazed me so I must grow it again!! All of them got some sparkling feeling like soda or wasabi different among the 4 phenotype

She is a stinky, sticky beauty! Not doing much other than watering ✌️🏻💚🤣💨

Adjusted the pH range and watered when needed. That will continue to be the case from now til the end of flower. I can hardly wait for harvest. It's going to be great. The zkittlez is getting plump and is already dense as the PCD I grew. It doesn't quite have the smell profile I was hoping for but the frost factor is crazy. The Liberty Haze is smelling great and is fantastic in structure the colas are about 12-17" long. It's great! Stoked for the last half of flower. The forbidden fruit is being neglected but it's managing to hang in there.

Blüte beginnt

harvest time soon. Maybe making hash or some cookies out of her. Smell is very intensive right now. Unfortunately I repotted her way too late she didn‘t got dense buds. take a look at my other diaries for good plants haha :)

Day 5 of 12/12 23rd January

Overall, the Girls are doing great. #2 is still showing some nitrogen excess, but is doing well. I’ve adjusted her feeding specifically in hopes to correct. #1 is not showing the same issue, and is motoring along. Both are stacking nicely, and are bringing on some smell now, and are sticky to the touch. I estimate about 3 weeks more, but who really knows with Autoflowers? Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

Hello Gelato lovers 🍦🌱 Welcome Finally, after a month and a few weeks from the harwest , I'm able to post and show you how my flowers are become.. Really lovley plant with beautiful flowers 💮🏵️🌸 Awesome trichomes production 🤩 And the aroma is so tasty🍦🍧 Especially because she comes from an organic grow 😎⬆️🔝 And also because I personally think to do a very precis and accurate work post harwest But however I will not be here again to explain how I currently practice the drying, manicure and final care process.. You can always find it in the "GELATO lover's" section, but from a another cultivar 😉👉 Anyway This strain in the beginnig she was very slow in grow And, during the pass from 18/6 to 12/12 , she wasn't stretch much But in the end she has becomes a very beauty little plants and super nice GELATO smell🍦🌱 I'm always titubant to say the taste of some strains are very like a food , about fruity it's more easy🙌 But this flowers right now are very deliciousnes in tasty and smell Very sticky too , but probably not much like you think after have see the pictures🤔 And the effect it's almost very easy , great for all day , you are almost focused but relaxed in the same time 👌👌 You can do everything Also the eyes aren't red (and that's maybe it my only real problem sometimes with herb 😁) And the terpenes experyence create the perfect balance Bouquet effect💐 Great work by breeder 👌🙏 Respect 🤝👊💪 In the end of the pictures I have posted the video of the ash test , but I usually enjoy the flowers using vaporaizers 😎🚀 And that's all guys If you maybe want more info about this grow cycle I have reported everything week by week in the most accurate way I can : 1: Thanks everybody for stopping by here all this weeks or just now 😉 Thanks Royal Queen Seeds for this nice strain 💯👌: 1:: 1:🏆 And like as always big thanks to Grow Diaries for this space of art 🎨🙏👊 Ciao✌️ 🇮🇹 BONUS If you like too see , for almost her entire life cycle , she share the space with other girls that you can find in the links here below 👇👇👇 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/46286-barney-039-s-farm-dos-si-dos-33-grow-journal-by-fun-clouds This.. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/46282-barney-039-s-farm-blue-gelato-41-grow-journal-by-fun-clouds And another one.. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/48209-barney-039-s-farm-dos-si-dos-33-grow-journal-by-funclouds 😉

Wow die Blüten schwellen immer fetter und fetter an. Ich will mich ja nicht zu weit aus dem Fenster lehnen aber ich gehe davon aus das 550g plus werden. Ich bin gespannt !!!

21/4 excellent cbd plant, the proportion between thc and cbd is perfect, a plant with the classic tree shape, I had small problems on the claw leaves !, then all solved, but in my opinion it made a little less on the final buds!

What a mission, finally I am at the end of my four cycle, she’s my last plant to be harvested, sadly she lost 60% of her bud, her main stem and a lot of brunches snapped 😭😭😭😭😭😭 off during heavy rains, I cannot believe it, it has been four months last I posted, 😂😂😂😂, I so sorry, rest assured she reached harvest and there is proof, what a journey… so many times I wanted to give up and uproot her, but look at her now, she’s the most potent strain in the 4th cycle, and trumps everyone with aroma, taste and high. Cannot wait to do it again, this time with mOre maturity and care. She gave me 63grams, though the scale says 67, the plastic I weighs 3 grams.

First time running dwc. So this should be fun and interesting. I’m ready 🌱💪🏽

I may be slowing her growth by having her in a small but...However, she looks healthy and that is the most important part of the grow process.

Día 48. El frío ha afectado bastante el crecimiento. Pero aún así va a salir algo interesante. Creo que la mala genética puede tener mucho que ver. Por el momento falta poco para que los cogollos se terminen de cerrar. Calculo que en una semana cuando se cierran ya paso a usar el overdrive. Entre tanto, ya está abriendo la semilla para la próxima madre. Calculo que en 3 días ya va a estar para poner en el sistema hidropónico. Seguiré viendo que sucede.
