Mars Hydro SP 3000: Just Released! SP 250 & TSL 2000 Comparison Grow

Looking so good G!
Thank you T. been a busy few days so not had a lot of time to do much visiting on 420 but slowing down again now. lol
The stink is getting louder now so we are on the right track for a finish. I took some pics last night as they are about to second flush with pistils and I love to catch it just before they don't to see the difference. I used to call it second flowering years back and never realised it happened, so would harvest early and be disappointed at the yield. lol We live and learn.lol
Your new grow will fly by now you have experience to go from too. Soon be pulling , pushing and bending like you have done it for ever. It gets very enjoyable once the confidence builds.
 
Day 45 ( yesterday) : I am now at the stage that used to frustrate me so much. waiting for the swell and ripening is the worse tease ifbthisbwhole process!!!. The pistils are colouring up now and the second flush of the fresh ones are poking out of their bud hidey holes ready to pounce.
Trichromes are building very nicely on the Amnesia haze now and I know from previous use of the strain that they can kick ass on potency. These ladies are starting to look dangerous!!!!.
FFT#9 Is getting more colour to her pistils and is also bursting with new ones to increase her girth. She will go full term I think so another 2 weeks maybe.

FFT#10 Is showing signs of heading to an end now and her colours are far more reds to white hairs now. shebhas fresh pistils but not in any number compared to her stable mates. She may surprise me and throw a new burst out but I think she will be the 1st one to be felled. lets see what another week does for her. Frost wise she is covered and smells amazingly like refreshers ( British children's sweet). It is a really sweet candy hit that is very pungent but welcome.










Be safe and well folks.
 
Day 47 Flowering today and these ladies are storming on to some beautiful ,thick , stacked , trichrome laden , amazing smelling Ganja plants. I am so happy with their development and continuous growth throughout their whole grow. Watching the second flush and the density that this layer adds to the overall finish is very satisfying. Having more control with the Rh does make a lot of difference to my room and the frost production in combination with the Sp3000 and it new spectrum additions, is plentiful. I think the pics speak for themselves here and show what these strains have to offer regards their flowering potential and appeal. Seeing the buds still happy to refresh the pistils and still have some time to go before they hit the sweet spots.
Please enjoy the pics as I have been .lol






















Be Safe and well Growmies.
 
Day 49 Update. Just a quick one to show how ready I feel the Fft#10 is to take down now. She is so frosty and has a good covering of brown pistils to make me confident she is done. seeing other grows of the strain have finished in this time frame too and the FAST genetic has really kicked in. check the pics and let me know what you think. I will be using the loupe tomorrow to confirm my thoughts. Be Safe Folks.

Looks ready to me, but I don’t have experience with that strain, what is the loupe telling you ?
I still need to check them but Mrs Gg out until later so stuck for the escape to the grow room kids are ninjas when they hear the step ladder open. lol. It is a fast flower version of some original ( still kept secret by Fastbuds so far) so it's hard to judge from previous. look very mature and ready visually now.
 
Day 51 flowering today and the FFT10 has still got a fair few clear trichs but definitely only days away. I found my Loupe but the batteries were dod dead. after much scrabbling for 3 new ones . I got to go loupey on a few of the buds. I did get a good look around them and found a lot of milky white but spotted a couple of amber too so we are so close now.... I took plenty of pics of her as she is certainly going to be out for the weekend. I am impressed so much with her close up and her buds look perfect now. I have spotted a big chunk of bud rot on a breakaway main on the amnesia that must have been when the dehumidifier turned itself off. gutting to see but thankfully very early stage so i got it off. I will use a spray tomorrow to ensure no more can take hold. I have dried the other nft girls and it was such a shame to have lost them as they have been impressive for their tiny sizes. samples of the fft and amnesia have been taken and drying now....












Getting exciting now. The drought is showing on the leaves a little now on at 3 days.
Be safe folks
 
Day 53 And we finally start to see some finishing. Yay.
The FFT10 jas now clouded an all her trichs virtually and seeing the few amber stalks with no heads on from handling them too i think. I usually wait till i hit more amber and a little further on but decided to try a little before this run. They have finished so beautifully and feel solid to touch too. She is now in the dark for 24 hours ready for a trim for drying ( not harvest trimming). I am so pleased with the way this strain has finished. Her dirty Kush look is so up my alley and I cannot wait to sample this girl.
FFT #9 Is beginning to show a few soapy looking trichs now among the new pistils still throwing up. Her buds are swelling nicely with new growth too. Another very nice example of these new strains. Now I have moved them to only 2 plants under the lights, I can spread her out a kittle more to get the lower buds some action before harvest now too. she has a lot of trichs that give her a GG4 sparkle to her.
Amnesia has also benefited from the FFT 10 finishing. It is easier to see all the lower growth within her. Bud stacks are looking good too . the next week should give her a really nice hue hopefully. lots of new pistils still appearing and the drought stress is certainly visible by the leaf colour. there is signs of calmag deficiency too on a few leaves so I will feed them a good meal on Monday. 7 days is all I dare push without risking their overall yield/finish being affected negatively. She smells amazing now and the fruity kick is heavy now.
Enjoy the pics. tha ks forn stopping by.
















 
Day 54 and the drought is over ( I bottled it !!!!.lol) . Seeing the beautiful colours she had been working on and their greenery slowly beconenrheb"flushed" monsters i so dislike had me submitting and making up a 20L feed for them both to share
20L dechlorinated water
14g Megacrop
20ml shogun sumo boost
20ml Pk Warrior
20ml Calmag
80ml Unsulphered Molasses.
They took it all with only a little runoff from the surface pooling before is started getting down.
Taking the FFT10 out has not made any difference to the fullness of the canopy it seems now. 1. They have happily shuffled into better positions now so I hope I can get them to go at least another week after Mondays 8th week flowering ends. I think the drought has pushed trichs more on these ladies judging by biscay appearance up close. Here's a few pics from the relief effort for watering

Update day 57: Feeling the time slowing down again waiting. Reading more into the Amnesia strain and a look through a few grows. I found that there were a few that go past the 63 days finish and merrily gone 70 days. With potentially nearly a fortnight to swell and ripening left , she could be a huge monster to harvest. The FFT#9 is looking similar with lots of pistils still pushing out fresh. She is swelling nicely too . Her trichs are all still mainly clear so could carry on on that score too. I am so pleased with how their forming as long fat colas finally and feel all the stress was worth it now.
I fed them each 10L feed which gave a huge runoff this time and left a bit in the trough to soak up over the next day or so. The Rh jas been nice at 46% now so hopefully forcing those sticky oils to ooze more.
FFT#10 is now hanging g in the roofs rafters in nice cold 15°c with air moving through too. She looks great hanging there all sparkly and bright. I was surprised how chunky she has turned out. roll on harvest trimming now.
Enjoy the pics


















 
errors seems the gestapo at 420nhave killed my video thread dead after all that effort without even a message. guttingntinsee 420 heading this way now. seems issues keep occurring for a few of the threads we try to enjoy being a part of. Wonder how long before fees to collect prizes will be the norm ?. I am gutted to be removed like that over their issue with not making on the deal. I expect a few have lost theirs too ?. sad but also a sign of the times with a huge reality check about why things exists at all here.
 
Mars was blurring the edges by running activities that require a second platform. You understand the need to keep things neat don’t you?
Poor old Rob over on the grow light thread is absolutely exasperated trying to help Mars do right.
It was fun to see your videos, GGD. I hope you post more.
Competitions across multiple platforms will be won by the users of the other platforms not us and we will have our collective eyeballs sold to other people’s advertisers for our trouble.
420 ftw :love:

I get the cross platform issue but they killed my vid thread separate from the mars official one too. we get caught up in their business issues with sponsors. mc being another example. I will continue till the finish of this run and try to find a less exposed vid uploader too. found it useful elsewhere and can give a real picture of what we are really growing and perspective. Will just add the next episode here and finish as normal with photo diary style amd pics.
cheers DD.
 
Good on ya mate. Production values just went up a notch :high-five:
Amnesia and #9 looks full and happy. And there’s #10, greasy as all get out, wondering where tf the sun is at and looking gorgeous.

The dark space you have her isolated in - could you hang a light in there for a veg space for photoperiods and run the flower space as a perpetual, combining autos and photos? Just a thought.

its hung in the eave and directly below is the cold water tank for the house system. a great lump of wooden structure for a small water tank and back up to it. space wastage really. bloody council.lol.
so close now to a finish on the fft#9 too. both close but 9 ready 1st. trichs looking good with loupe bit could not get a good shot with phone camera at all

They do show their opaque appearance but under the scope there are a few ambers in the mix sparsely scattered. Few days I think. Thanks Donkey buddy. Always a pleasure mate.
 
Day 60 flowering: The fmgirlsnare very vm, very close to their finish now. The trichs in both of them have clouded with only the amnesia still having a few clear. on them. All-in all they are doing well. starting to yellow up again like they are on autumn. bring on the harvest....

Be well Growmies.
 
Day 63 Flowering. : We have made it to the dark 48hrs before the chop. Woooooohoooo.... lol
This run has been a mixed bag for me with the failures and constant attempts to catch it before it went sour on the nft.
Thankfully the new light performed excellent and has given some great looking donkey colas , full of trichs and rock hard to boot.
Both girls have opaque teichs now with Amber's flecked in places so I am putting them into 48 hours dark before I pre trim the fans for the low and slow alongside the FFT#10.
Amnesia has finished so sweetly that I am so glad I went with their autos of it. Her solid long colas could crunch if I gave them a hard enough squeeze. The amount of decent tops she finished with is prood she is no slouch on her side branching too. Ideal for a lot of space if 8tnneeds filling but just as happy to train low too. Love it. Well done Sweet seeds.
FTT#9 has also finished with a lot of very nice thick colas to be proud of. Her smell is a more obvious diesel/Fruit now too. Nugs are rock solid and neatly formed and covered in sticky trichs. Insontnaant to risk passing their best so decided its time rather than my usual waiting till possibly just too long after. lol
FFT#10 Is steadily drying and so gummy too. she will move into the tent once the other 2 have been hung so she may well be ready in another few days with a 40% Rh and 24.5°C.
be safe growmies. Will update as we go on. peace and love.

















Thanks for stopping by.
