We're about 1/3rd the way through flower..these girls are getting really frosty for their age. There's still some yellowing from almost killing them 1.5weeks ago but they've almost full recovered from our neglect. Nodes have a great distance, its growing similar to our White Widow under the SP-3000..I suspect long 6 long colas on each plant a couple with some side growth we decided to keep. Not too much else to report, we're still babying these girls after our blunder but they seem to be on track now..Thanks for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total!)

*=UPDATED=* Not to much to add this week, I plucked a lot of the lower leaves off to prevent them from getting to close to the growing medium and having some disease issues, plus increases some air flow. Also plucked a few of the top fan leaves that where blocking the lower buds from the light. Don't think this is proper defoliation so I did not check it off as a grow technique. The plants are really starting to smell more and get a lot of trichomes on them. When I'm in the case and smell each plant, they all have different terpene profiles. one is very lemon and pine with a hint of sweetness, one is quite sweet and berry like with lemon notes "my fav", another is just more so woodsy pine smell and the last one is mildly sweet smelling with something else I could not pinpoint. one setback is the case fan I was using died out, i think the heat inside the tent and operating for so long got to it, it was an older fan to start off with so not overly surprising. It started to have a hot electric smell to it, like wires or rubber getting to hot. I manage the case heat by propping its door open on a angle. still keeps temps at 25c (77f) Other then that I don't think they grew to big vs last week, one plant is starting to get some more purple in it, I like purple colour on buds. maybe the leaf plucking set it back a bit, can't imagine the plant would enjoy that happening to it. Trying to post little fly over videos every week of the case to give better idea of plants and what they are looking like. will try and get a macro lens closer to trichomes and see what they are doing in terms of clear cloudy and amber for next week, may give me a hint as if ill harvest week after that. *=UPDATE=* I didn't want to wait till next week to post trichomes so took some photos with a clip-on Macro lens for my phone, not the best but looks pretty cool. mostly all cloudy from what I can tell. one plant has a bit of amber on its sugar leaves but not its bud.

Last weeks for this fantastic buds

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön.

Same old same ol

megaite doesn't look beautiful and happy, of course I didn't expect anything else, to be honest I didn't expect to go this far :) so as long as she lives I'm happy :)

3/23: I let them go totally dry this time and fed them with about 3/4 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, cha ching, tiger bloom, big bloom, and humic acid. This was probably the last time the shorter one gets any nutes. She's ripening up now.😃 3/27: I watered them today with about 3/4 gallon of filtered water with sticky & sweet, terpinator, signal, cal-mag, and a little bit of cha ching. I looked them over pretty well. Soooperrunt is the furthest behind of the three plants, but her cola is gonna be massive. This was the last time that the other two get any nutes at all. I'll flush them once they are dry.

⭐️⭐️🌲WEEK 4 FLOWER🌲⭐️⭐️ Nutrient Line This Week (all nutrients are mixed direct to reservoir in this order) Front Row AG Part A 3.1g per gallon Front Row AG Part B 2.1g per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme .4g per gallon Front Row AG Bloom 2.4g per gallon Front Row AG CleanUp .2g per gallon I am not sponsored by Front Row AG or any company for that matter. I simply use the products I’ve come to like and use techniques I’ve come to know work well. Temp 82/ humidity 55-60%/ leaf temp 80 CO2 1500ppm/ PAR 1400/ VPD 1.4 I’ve been using a higher temp higher humidity during flower for a few years now. The plants seem to love it. They are absolutely sucking down CO2 right now. Last week of veg/beginning of flower a 20lb tank lasted 10 days. Now I use 2 in 10 days. You can literally watch them grow by the day at this stage. Plants are fed with drip tubes for 90 seconds 15 minutes after lights on and for 40 seconds 3 hours before lights off. So far very few mistakes have been made and the new Front Row AG nutrients are very very good. If anyone has any questions don’t hesitate to ask. See you next week.

Week 6 flower. Not much to report with this one. Growing very slow, little buds, smell musky and not very nice but improving, very frosty and getting frostier. Watered in Gaia Green Soluble Seaweed Extract 0-0-17. Day 36 flower I turned off Blumat drip and will water with the watering wand from here on out. Just another potential runaway dripper so I eliminated the risk. I will just build another reliable system with a timer and use the Blumat outside. Thanks for the view! Have a great week!

Juan is looking very happy now, reduced the PH slightly, upped the watering and dropped the ppm to 900 About halfway through the flower stretch Slight purple stems in the large fan leaves so time for the top feed and a little tidy The stretch is complete and Juan is looking very happy purple buds everywhere Got lucky with the genetics the buds are turning a beautiful purple

Buds growing well. I placed the fan at the back of the canopy to ensure hot air from the lamps are well extracted.

👍🍀❤️

Lights are down to 28 inches, only running blue spectrum the first 14 days. Will begin nutrients and full spectrum beginning of week 3.

Very optimal setup for everything so far. you can really tell the first sprout apart right now because of the second set coming in. Can’t wait to start using nutrients soon!

Put to 12-12 schedule during the end of last week ( week 15).

Week 3. This is where the fun begins. The smell is amazing. The stretch is crazy and the stems are stiff like bamboo. There's no loss in terps. They're actually getting a lot stronger!!

98 days in of the autoflower, pistils look crazy but calyxes are still beginning to form, I’m young and still trying to learn the best techniques of anyone would want to send me a link to their grows I’m open to all

Day 21 Veg: Hi all. Hope we are all free and healthy in the grow diaries community this week. It has been a very enjoyable and productive week this week. The purple monkey are gaining a nice size and taking to training really well. Their bases are getting thicker and i am now seeing small white female hairs at their bracts. I think flowering is very close now on these ladies. All three are looking very healthy and green with no signs of any issues to worry about so far. They are all reaching the pots edges with their side branches now so should make a decent sized canopy and bush after the stretch has finished. I did strip lower, small tips out too so that air can reach all of their budsites from underneath too. Banana Mash is a little behind the monkey so far and has no real gender signs yet. The mutant is growing out a little better now but is still looking odd. I have included 3 seeds that came from my last exotic run and where in some of thenbuds that I harvested. I suspect a lemon mimosa xhicked some pollen before I took her/he down and it hit all of the strains except 1. I now have about 100 seeds crossed with the mimosa lemon amd have kept each seed batch separate so I can have some idea of at least the mothers genetics if mimosa isn't daddy !!. They are also doing really well with the Mango cream X being the best looking so far. be interesting to see if they remain autos of just keep growing as photoperiod. I am adding the Megacrop to feeds now as I approach flowering and plan to germinate the next exotic goodies to join the second harvest. ( to follow...) They are all being trained now amd have taken to the idea quite well. I did have a snap on one of the Purple monkey ladies but tape should rescue the buds on that limb hopefully. So there we have it , another good week with plenty to do and the next week should hopefully see the start of some flowering stretch to wrestle with as they explode with growth. lol be well growmies.

Week 10, and Syrian is the first plant to be harvested. Just gave her a trim, and now she's on to drying.
