Grow Timeline (44 updates)
My tent isn’t set up as it is on its way to me. I ordered some equipment from Spider-Farmer which includes;
SE1500 150W LED Grow Lights
100mm 4’’ Inline Fan with Ducting, Carbon Filter, and GGS controller
3’x3’x6’ 1680D Grow Tent
I am going to be popping;
(1)Strawberry Guerrilla by Fast Buds
(1)Zkittlez OG by Barney’s Farm
(1)Durban Runtz Cake by Purple Caper Seeds
(2)Raspberry Kaleidoscope (Raspberry Parfait) by Seed & Soil
Alrighty, all of them had tap roots appear so really good sign. Stuck em in some 1/2 gallon fabric pots. These pots are thin which makes it easy to see root progress and they also make “transplanting” easy.
nice !!!!
thank you growmie
any time love to see others growing along keep up the great work!
Looks like 2 aren’t gonna make it. If they dont, thats alright.
Try giving the humidity dome a burp once or twice a day. When it starts forming drops, it's a little too humid for the girls. At least thats been my experience. Give it a go and see if they perk up for you.
I give it a burp every morning, unfortunately, i just cleared out the dead seeds. Will probably be replacing them but we’ll see. I would have wanted at least 4 plants this grow
The gals are looking okay, soil is still moist from watering a couple days ago so no need to water for a couple more. Roots dont look anywhere near developed so I am hoping next week I can move em into the tent.
they dying for cal mag my friend
what's with the 1 on right super far off center it looks lol
The soil is well soaked so ill give em some next watering.
Grow really wierd. Launched up looking for light then started grwoing toward the soil. I propped it up with more soil
Got em all cozied up in their homes. Added a bit of silica and calmag to the watering.
how do you have your tent set up? are you monitoring temps and VPD? what are you using for nutrients?
Tent tends to stay at 80* F, humidity ranging from %60-50 and VPD between 1.5 and 1.9 throughout the day.
if you want to really get the plants growing vigorously focus on your environment. get a humidifier for your tent. fyi a sonic humidifier (like ac infinity) REQUIRE distilled water or maybe reverse osmosis. if you can’t afford gallons of distilled water daily or weekly and don’t have an RO system look for a regular non sonic humidifier. get your VPD down to .8 through veg which is basically 80• 70%. your plants will thank you. 1.5 is the top end of late flower VPD. 1.9 is basically throwing them in the desert lol
Thatll be the next buy i suppose
I should post when I feed them but I been really busy with holidays about. They are making pretty good progress. Nodes are growing close to each other. I snuck in the other Appletizer I had in the prop done, lets see what it does in 1/2 a gallon.
Man Brother) got a beautiful set up and some healthy healthy plants. It looks good mate happy growing
Thank you growmie. Thank you
When do notice flower starting to really stack on?
It wasnt until recently where the buds started to stack, maybe this week. I noticed the flowering once i saw small buds and pistils appear.
We need a NSFW tag, because the growmie is posting pure tent porn
Thank you brother! More upskirt pics to come!
Water and fed the plants with some added nutes, it appears as though the autos arent able to absorb nutrients from the soil while flowering.
Are you keeping the autos and photos on the same feeding schedule? Them Autos don’t like as much feed as the photos do.
Looking nice
I put in autos in some Happy Frog Ocean Forest with both veg\bloom dry amendments from Gaia Green. Probably the 3rd time I have given them a liquid feed.
Thank you growmie!
Did the last feed with water, gonna leave it up to the soil from here on out before running a flush.
Also cleaned up the canopy and any lacking nodes and branches. Might have been a little too much but I am hoping for the best results.
Overall aroma still smells very salad-y but buds now have a distinct smell to them. I feel as though I am going to be pushing these over the recommended flowering time.
Salad is a new one lol, she looks beautiful though.
Thanks growmie, they sure do
Gave them one last top dress of Gaia Green bloom nutes. Topped em off with a good amount of water too. Gave them radicals haircuts, hopefully i dodnt do too much.
Every thing looking great . Will be a nice harvest for yourself 👍
Doesn’t matter if seeds come from same pack . Every seed will have its own phenotype . That’s why when u grow out a lot of seeds u do pheno hunts . U only keep the ones that have good expressions & vigor . Won’t all be identical
Thank you, thank you. Once i finish paying the grow off, im gonna buy the dehumidifier from spider farmer to lock in the enviro
Luckily it winter & air is generally drier now . Have u been having problems getting the humidity down ? I’m looking into the AC Infinity terraform 8 the new one that just came out with only one ducting for AC /heater /humidifier & dehumidifier. If I order it soon o can get it by the end of March . I use there heater & works good . My tent in garage with no heat
I usually don’t grow indoors in summer anymore. If prices per pound were still up there it be worth running ac so I just stick to outdoor growing now . I’m only thinking about that terraform . I need to justify it in my head to pay that price
In california, its always humid so its been a battle keeping it under the 50-60% rh mark for late flower
I love the amount of control you get with these. No more worries about a lot of pests and illnesses, for the most part. Gives me more time to actually overwatch the growing aspect of it. Limited space and the needed tech is the only hold back. But what i plan on doing in here for the outdoor season, is sex out cuttings from reg seeds that i have invested in
I’m in NY & I know how difficult it is to fight humidity. For us only our winters are dry . Every other time it’s 70%-90% . Makes drying in the fall a bitch . Does that dehumidifier have drain hose this way there no worries that it will back up ?
Regular seeds I feel are a lot more stable & if u planning on doing any breeding it’s always better to breed from regular seeds then to use fems . I wil take clones from each plant from regular seeds & I will clone em & as soon as they take root I flip to flower & see what sex they are . Cheaper them sending em out be sexed & by the time u mail it & wait u better off just waiting for it to clone & costs good money to send out & tested . Is that how u sex the plants ?
That’s essentially how i was going to do it yup
The spider farmer one does come with a drain hose
That’s a huge plus . I can’t remember how many times I’ve forgotten to empty the dehumidifier & water was all over the place . When do u water when u in 12/12 ? If I having issues with high humidity I will water an hour into lights first going on . This way it has time to settle before lights go off & that’s when u get the big spikes . That dehumidifier will be a huge help for u . Nothing worse then worrying that u will lose all your hard work to bud rot . Happened to me last summer . We had a lot of caterpillars & they shit & create holes in buds & cause bud rot

First run with the tent running autos at 24/0 during veg and 18/6 during flower. The plants usually need water every 3-5 days. They are in 3 gallon pots.
About 3/4 of my outside crop was taken out by humidity and catepillars
I having problems again being able to read replies . Had this issue before . I have to hit Chris up again & let him no issues are back . I know he was having a lot of problems with the android app & I have iPhone . Fixed the android & now iphone messed up
It seems like that yeah, ive been have to close then open up the app for new comments on a chain to load
Im above the target humidity so i will be investing in that humidifier for the next grow in this tent. The Raspberry Kaleidoscope is finally budding up. Everyone else is looking real good. Excited for that Appletizer and Strawberry Gorilla.
Looks beautiful. Just make sure you have plenty of air flow, that will help control bud rot.
Looks great brother and what's the humidity at
Holds 60-70% daily. Lots of fluctuations
A cheap vivosun fan that doesnt oscillate anymore has been my airflow provider
Great colors on that first one man
Finish line is oh so close. Will be overwatering tomorrow with a flush to finish her out. Might even go with some bro science on one more flush in complete darkness for 24-48 hours.
She is looking so pretty. Well done
Thanks growmie!
What a 💵💉 Now those tri's are sexier then sucks on a rooster lol
Super trimmed everything, as an ease for trimmin
Looking BEA utiful brother
Thanks growmie, this is my first tent grow so can only get better
1st tent grow and they are like that. Damn better is going to be something else then
With all the support from the growmies, its hard to fail
That looks spot on, well done mate!
Thank you!
WOW WOW WOW.... Awesome Job. If mine come out looking even a quarter this good, I will be so happy. Purrteee flowers..
Thank you! TLC and due diligence is what got me these results. Also, good genetics.
Chopped them down when I got home. I also had some branches that i cut last week that were drying. The grinder is pack with a week dried, uncured Ghost Toof nug. While the taste is not there, this shit had me lookin like the Thinker on the commode 😂
Nice Harvest 👍
Looks so beautiful
Thank you!
Thank you very much
Ur welcome what was w et wight or you dont know yet I bet it smells so wonderful
Unfortunately dont have the means to weigh it before drying. I will post the dry weight forsure.
Hell yea I would like to know that was a beautiful grow
This concludes the grow!
Ranked from personal taste.
1. Strawberry Gorilla by 42 Fast Buds
An absolute powerhouse when it comes to fruit terps. Opening the jar to strawberry jam mixed with in a heavy, fuming diesel is such a delight. She displays bits of pink and purple hidden under the green exterior. Buds tend to stick on your fingers and the grinder which leads to me believe that this strain would make some of the best tasting rosin.
2. Ghost Toof by Mephisto Genetics
Good mix of funky goodness with gassy terps. Exhale is on this is a bit rough but the nirvana felt in return is ecstatic. Trichs do not really stay on the buds too well leading to an over abundance of hash. This is no issue to me as I like making hashish but it is often difficult to achieve a constant “bowl”.
3. Raspberry Kaleidoscope by Seed & Soil
This one will punch you in the nose. I grew 4 hybrids and this one leaned on the Sativa side definitely. Airy buds covered in a trichs give off a rotten fruit aroma with sweet exhale. She provides beautiful bowls that are equal parts trichs, bud, and pistils.
4. Appletizer by Mephisto
Just because she ranks last does not mean shes a hit or miss. Giving off an apple that has been freshly skinned and peel, the Appletizer comes in with dense buds. Most of the time, I have no issue just tossing the entire bud into grinder, I opened the bud up more to see details of calyx’s and bud formation. Another fuity powerhouse.
And in total, 9.4 dry oz of flower.
-73 grams Strawberry Gorilla
-69 grams Ghost Toof
-63 grams Raspberry Kaleidoscope
-50 grams Appletizer
Looks so good
The terps were indeed splendid
The terps were indeed splendid
Make a smoke report. I'm curious
Check out the notes! I included the ride and terp taste. Unfortunately, i dont have any of the Raspberry Kaleidoscope left to post a pic of all strains burning in a joint.
Very nice. I love washing for hash so might do ghost roof for my next run. I have grape crinkle and meph wedding at day 54 right now and excited to try. I also just planted double smile and avt x sb nuggets. Excited to see results. Thanks for the in depth smoke report brosky
No problem! Mehpisto really be making some art these days. Tinto de Verano is coming out soon and their Guava Fig line sounds crazy.
I got guavamaster flash(orange diesel x guava fig) and regular guava fig so I'm thinking since spring is here to do this at the end of the month. But I have too many beans lmao
Good problems! I usually have autos growing regardless of outside grow season. Its not the best but i get to use my seeds. Currently have James Loud’s Cali OG auto and Guavalato auto growing.
5 in a 3x3? I like your style!!!!!
Fast cycles baby! Im probably gonna through in some 3-5 gallons fab pots.
looks like a genuine good set their barnies is always a good choice from what Ive seen so far ...
it's going to look nice !!!! Best of yeilds this round to you !!!!
Thank you! i need to absorb more knowledge on indoor growing forsure
Ive learned that I really like fruity and sweet terps
I also and skunky and berry seem to be my sweet spot also ! verry fine line between smooth and not pleasant or smokable if it's not appealing terp wise it's not to good at all for me .
runtz is always a great choice also any gelatos are ussaly Fite to me when grow right.
Grew a Gelato this year that smelled nice but isn’t too nice to smoke. Bad genetics to be fair.
I had some citrus Gelato cake that was indoor that was one of my allrime faves it was citrusy and had that classic ice cream cake tast w the citrusy and skunky was verry sticky n wonderful I loved it but I could see that w out door sm times alot of the time it's alot harsher unless you really have it dialed in a. the cure part also is a big deal I hate to admit it but I got sm Gove bag quarter pound bags 2 just so I can hang and then throw in bag n not have to burp or worrie.
Im using Sweet Decades bags, thinner material but it works all the same. Bag and jars all get tossed in the same cooler anyways.
