Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.woodroom.tel/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

Lots more stretching in week 7. Plant #1: has finally shown some improvement and has hit the trellis. She's at 16 inches. Plant #2: looking beautiful she's second tallest at 28 inches. Plant #3: getting thicker than other but slowing in stretch she's 3rd tallest in the tent at 25 inches. Plant #4: stretching for the sky! She's stacking bud sites everywhere and absolutely stretching her days away. She's at 34 inches! Still performing a good Defoliation twice a week to upkeep light penetration through the canopy. Still using 1tbsp(3tsp) per 5 gallons of solution(or about 0.6tsp/gal) which is approx. 3 grams per gallon, of both the B1&B2 nutrients from FloraFlex. This is much lower dosing than most feeding schedules but they have responded amazingly well to this schedule. They're sucking down my 12 gal res in about 5-6 days now.

At this point I'm checking the plant for signs telling me it's time to harvest. I think I'm getting pretty close at this point. She is putting out a strong smell and has a sativa structure with tall and dense flowers. I fed a really heavy compost extract this week with calmag and Golden Tree. Process/ Environment changes: - turned off one Ts1000 yesterday when I cut down the blackberry auto - humidty set to 45-50 % RH I'm on auto pilot at this point and I'm looking forward towards the dry and cure phase. I have purchased 1 gallon glass jars to cure the flower in. I have also purchased 2 way humidity pack to help keep my cure on the right track. I will go in to detail about my process when the time has come to dry the flower.

The girls are looking good, vibrant and healthy. I'm watering every other day now, up from every three days because they're up taking more liquids. Top dressing as I see fit, once every 4 waterings. Water mixture always has SuperThrive, Molasses and Potassium within it though.

3ª VEGETATIVA : La giovane BISCOTTI {ZAMNESIA} cresce bene nel nuovo vaso. Abbiamo cambiato il ciclo vitale e siamo passati a 12/12(.. In realtà 13/11☺️)! La MARS HYDRO TSL2000 è stata avvicinata alla cima ad una distanza di circa 30cm,dove cerchiamo di avere un 50000 lumen. Attendiamo con pazienza i primi peletti bianchi 💐

This was my 1st photoperiod grow on growdiaries and I'm glad I tried these Fast flowering photoperiods for it. Big thanks to Heather and the Fastbuds team. The wedding cheesecake auto is one of my favourites strains and i have grown it a number of times but now having a photoperiod version is just great and to flower so fast is brilliant. Because this grow was going so good I decided to switch back to photoperiods for the next few grows i just wish i had left her in veg for 1 more week. Total decent buds dry weight for the grow=136g Light power Total= 200.43Kw 18hrs for 28 days = 504hrs 12hrs for 67 days = 804hrs Total hours for lights= 1308hrs 200.43÷1308=0.153Kw/hr average. Average 153w/hr Total g/W=0.89g/W Power used for grow=508.78Kw @0.30p =£152.63 Each gram cost £1.12 The buds have been curing for nearly 2 weeks so I haven't had a sample yet. There will be more pictures added once I try the buds and write up a smoke review in about a week but for now I'll just leave a video of the grow. Thanks to all who have viewed my diaries and a big thanks to all that posted likes and comments, it's much appreciated.

Доброго времени Сегодня 82 день жизни моей девочки. Она во всю цвете и сегодня ровна неделя с того дня как я начал считать цвет. Планирую еще 7-8 недель ее продержать, хотя по паспорту у нее всего 8 недель цвета. На 76 день жизни, я обрезал почти все слабые боковые стебли и все нижние листья. За неделю она заметно подросла. Азот я не стал еще убирать, думаю его высокое содержание продержать еще неделю, затем буду уменьшать его содержание в питательном растворе. Внимательные люди заметили б однозначно весящую лампу, у меня все время вылетало с головы напить о ней))) Эта лампа UVB на 25вт, для рептилий. Много читал про ультрафиолет, единого мнения нет. Это мой второй опыт связанный с ней. Весной этого года я ее использовал с 4 недели цвета, режим работы 4 часа в сутки. Признаюсь я не понял разницу, то есть я не знаю прибавила ли она содержание ТГК в шишках или нет, но точно сказать могу вреда от нее не было. Следующий гров я ее уже не использовал, а в этот раз решил опять воспользоваться ею. На мой взгляд 25вт очень мало, при том что у моих основных ламп 600вт, в будущем думаю купить еще две на 25вт. Если у кого есть опыт с подобными лампамы, пишите, интересно узнать какого результата вы добились.

Very Nice looking and good Smelling Plant. Buds after Trim are medium dense but very tasty. Flavourwise it goes into ripe Berrys with a hint of Citrus and Soapyness in the background. The Plant looks exactly like on the pictures High-Giraffe-Seeds shows on their website. All in all definetly a recommendable Plant to grow.
