Marzcanna Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) SO this is my first grow diary on the forum, Ive actually been documenting this grow for my return Youtube series (After Youtube Kindly flagged me) so i will use the still images for this grow diary. At the current stage I'm about a week away from switching my girls to 12/12. The strains are tall plants, Blue Dream, Durban Poison & Pure Power Plant, in limited space, for that reason I've trained them and decided to do a 6 week veg. For this grow I'm testing 2x "1000w" LEDs which was gifted to me by a friends company. For this run I decided to test a theory that's been circulating around the net (especially with a certain YouTube grower) that you can grow in amended coco, i've grown in coco & perlite for years, measuring EC & PH, we know its an insert medium, and understanding how coco works and is used we can understand why adding amendments to it might rise a few eyebrows. We ll find out if it's possible. With that said I will also be growing in organic soil & we will do a side by side. First I washed and buffered a brick of coco with a solution of cal-mag for 16hrs The Amendments Alfafa Meal Aloe Meal Basalt Rock Dust Bio-Char Canna-Kashi Calcitic Lime Diatomaceous Earth Dolomite Lime Fulvic Acid Frass Guano (Sea Bird) Gypsum Humic Acid Kelp Meal Malted Barley Manganese Oxide Montmorillonite Clay Soft Rock Phosphate Zeolite Mycorrhizal Fungi 2weeks old At this point i had to leave town for awhile and had someone do a bad job of looking after the seedlings Abit of yellowing especially in the coco, I would think it was a lack of cal-mag and bad watering Veg Stage After a month I transplanted them and they were able to bounce back At this point I had also given them some compost tea 3 weeks into Veg I ran into a problem with fungus gnats Sprayed them with some neem oil & I setup some sticky traps. The fungus gnats were sorted out Where Are We At Now? We at day 34 of veg, some of the plants have very small growth in soil, cocos are growing well, as for the lights I'm eager to see how they do in flower, worse case i swap them out for my quantum's. Space is also a concern so I've done a bit of training before I switch them. Will Update in a week or 2, I plan to defoliate some plants and send them into flower Edited April 13, 2021 by Marzcanna 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzcanna Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Update On Lights The lights im using is sponsored by a friends company. Im sure they are imported, I requested that he gave me a Burple and Natural light, natural light is the way to go in the LED world but burple lights have a place since they can add to trichome production more to end of flower. Back when I began indoor growing Leds werent good at all, it was better to invest in HPS but down the years LEDs have become more powerful & power efficient. One down side to Leds according to recent studies its sugeests we need to supplement Cal-Mag for plants. You also get alot more stem purpling with LEDS. Which isn't a big deal for what the LEDS are providing. As for the lights im using I would say they are not bad but they are not as good as the quantum range or anything using LM30B/H Below is the ones I usally use in my grows. I will be upgrading to a flower tent soon, so I was in search of new lights. I came across a South African LED manufacture specializing in grow LEDS. You can basically buy a custom made high end LED for your grow space I decided to try them out and will be ordering a 4 bar 60x60 with Samsung Lm30b, mean well driver & wifi. The price is around 4.8 - 5k which isn't bad for what you are getting. Once I have it setup I will do a review on them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzcanna Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 So I've decided to give the YouTube channel anther shot, 3 years ago I had an on going battle with my accounts and after a few flags and account deletions I eventually gave up. I was only starting to get the hang of doing videos and was forced to give up for the unjust restrictions the world puts on this amazing plant But the cannabis industry is growing all over the world, especially in our country. I would like to be part of the movement and push content and try to change peoples perspective of cannabis . What I have in mind is do grow videos, reviews, live streams, have a few of you from 420sa on the live streams show casing your grows. Show casing breeders, equipment etc. Unfortunately I have no subcribers as from now but I would like to invite everyone to subscribe to the channel, I will post my very first video I ever did on it and basically start fresh (promise to get better at the videos) I will be moving into a studio and promise to bring alot more quality content. You don't have to subscribe but it would be extremely appreciated Click Here - Marzcanna 420 Channel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzcanna Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) The ladies have been giving me side looks from the stressful 2 weeks of training they have been put through (Shame on me) but have recovered and seem to be about ready for the switch @Marijuana Seeds SA Nirvana strains seem to do very well in organic soil & amended coco getting weekly compost teas. RECAP OF STRAINS: BREEDER: NIRVANA STRAINS: DURBAN POISON, PURE POWER PLANT, AURORA, BLUE DREAM I will be updating with a time-lapse of the stretch within the next 2 weeks. Will also update on the nutes i will be using for the bloom phase. Lets see how they do with the transition Edited April 16, 2021 by Marzcanna 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree, I think YouTube is too sensitive to the matter, I got a few flags before for talking about seeds, come to find out later they changed their policy, we not allowed to talk about seeds or seed banks any more which seems ridiculous. Twitch seems to be the place for cannabis content at the moment 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzcanna Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Weekly Update What's growing on growmies!! So! Ladies entering their week 3 of flower and Ive stopped f***ing with them for almost a week... OK Maybe just a very minor leave defol here and there, but honestly it's mostly already dead leaves or leaves that look unhealthy there was however a bigger issue at play... THE Lights!!! Yea the lights.... Well if you can recall earlier at the start of this grow diary I said I was going to test 2 lights right? OK, but I didn't say anything about not adding more power Ok so cool, "we bringing in reinforcements" I said to myself .... The problem is I didn't have any spare and you know what that means right Well there I was... looking through all the price lists..."not cool at all" ... I thought to myself. "Do they get these lm301 chips off a rock, thats under the deepest cave some where on a desserted location with no means of getting through the dense jungle by plane" cause LEDS seemed over priced on the market! ofcause that was my own thought and so since its my head, I don't care what people think LED prices should be So anyway going through these lists I came a cross a company that build custom made LEDS, I found this interesting and procced to find out more... Long story short... I decided to get a custom made LED Introducing the Leon200 4 Short It came equipped with powerful LM301Bs chips, Wifi Controller and Light Timer In combination with the lights I already had running I think this would be enough power for this grow OH Yea! I almost forgot the ladies are doing just fine on their week 3 of flower Edited May 4, 2021 by Marzcanna 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzcanna Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) Ladies entering week 5 I top dressed abit late and so the ladies got abit hungry. I switched to some organic liquids for the mean time, everything else seems to be going smoothly, my only regret so far is having worried about the stretch to much and should of let them grow abit more Edited May 17, 2021 by Marzcanna 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzcanna Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) Quick Garden Update. The girls are at start of week 6 and not looking too bad. But I thought the time for experimenting and reviewing was over and so it was time to remove the burples that weren't too bad until now but honestly..they have served their purpose. it was time to bring out the Mars Hydro SP to help out the Leon 200 finish up this grow Edited May 24, 2021 by Marzcanna 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous lights were just a review run, they good for veg and you can technically flower, so they good entry lights if you on a budget. I bought the Leon 200 for this grow room last month and just decided to fit in an old Mars Hydro SP 250. Might actually keep this grow room with these two lights for the next run Edited May 25, 2021 by Marzcanna 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzcanna Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) What's growing on growmies! I apologize for the late update (not that anyone noticed ) but I have been running around getting some equipment and systems for my next season (hydro with both synthetics & organics ) Anyway ladies entering their 8th week, I will start looking at trichomes this week, hoping to push her up 9/10 weeks. The smell is intense.. enough to give some people a headache, to me its simply smells amazing...
