Hey folks I am starting a grow diary with some sought after genetics. I will be doing Mephisto's 3 Bears OG and Jean-O's Genetics' Blueberry Cheesecake. I Will also be showing some different plants as they go through the veg, flower, and harvest. I will tell you what products I use and show how i go through the grow process as well as asking for input. I have been growing photo in outdoor guerilla grows for years but as i just bought my first house so i decided to downsize a bit, but anyway lets get right into it. I have a 4 x 4 tent with a Spider Farmer SF4000 (new model with dimmer knob). I also have a 2 x 4 with an HLG 100 400k for veg. I ordered an HLG 100 Rspec which i will be putting in the 2x4 . I will do a review on that. Soil is Fox Farms Happy Frog. Only nutes i use are Real Growers Recharge, and Bigfoot Mycorrhizae I only use Recharge when Bigfoot is out of stock at my local hydroponics store. I have used Epsoma Organic Plant -Tone plant food. My attitude towards growing/gardening is " Simple is Good". Before i got the Spider Farmer i was using a 600w Hps. LED has changed the game. I have a FastBuds420 Forbidden Runtz going i will show the stages of that as well and thro in a few pics of my whole situation. Day numbers are from day it went in the dirt. Hope you enjoy.

Day ten update
ok well things got a little mixed up and my cat had some fun in my Mephisto 3bog so after a replant she broke surface today. The Jean-o Bluebery cheesecake is off to a strong start at day ten, Fastbuds forbidden runtz is at day 15, i also have a Dutch Passion Banana Blaze and a Jean-o Straw dog that im doing in a smaller pot for all you desktop and solo cup guys working with limited space. Those are both at ten days as well. I am throwing in a couple pics of my 2 wedding cake plants one of them is freshly topped within the last 4 days, she is under the HLG 100 Rspec along with the Forbidden Runtz and I have to say I am impressed so far with the light, the plants are responding well, In my 2x4 I have Both HLG 100's one blue and white spectrum and the Rspec is a full spectrum. A 2x4 with 2 HLG 100 Rspec would be a great at home setup for any grower. I am pleased I just wish I had 2 Rspec. The other is under the Spider Farmer SF4000 and is just low stress trained. I want to know once and for all which has the higher yield. I may move the topped one out of the 2x4 and put it in the 4x4 with the other after my girl scout is harvested. I also just hit the Blueberry Cheesecake, and Banana Blaze with nutes today for the first time. I am using Epsoma Plant-Tone Organic Plant Food. All my plants respond very well to this stuff and my ph stays at 6.2. In my opinion there is no need to spend a fortune ordering these super expensive nutrients. Things are going well, anticipating some monsters.

Nice …. lots of stuff in the works. How big are your containers. I was very pleased with my results using an HLG100 3000k in a 2x2. It’s a great light - lots of bang for your buck yield and cost-wise. I can only imagine the Rspec.
I usually use five gallon buckets or 2 and 3 gallon self draining pots. I like 2/3 gallon pots the best, I am thinking of actually cutting my 5 gallon buckets down a little bit, theres no need for anything bigger than a 3 gal for autos in my opinion. And yes i couldnt be happier with the Rspec 100.
update
well all hell broke loose. I had a hermie plant that pollonated a large part of my garden. I was able to save the Fastbuds Forbidden Runtz, Dutch Passion Banana Blaze, and Mephisto 3 Bears OG.....SO The Forbidden roots went in ground on the 4th of Jan and broke ground on the 8th so we are going to call that 25 days, the Banana Blaze went in ground on the 8th and broke ground on the 12th so we are going to call this its 20 day update. And the 3 Bears broke ground on the 21st so this will be its 12 day. The Banana blaze is in the white pot, the 3BOG is in the clay colored pot, and the Forbidden Runtz is in the brown. I also replaced my HLG 100 to the HLG 100 Rspec so now my 2x4 has 2 of those, I am trying out a red spectrum flower booster puck, it has 4 red leds and it honestly packs a punch, the HLG 100 Rspec only has 4 deep red so this will be doubling the amount of red spectrum. I will also include a picture of the new arrangement in the 4x4 enjoy. This one was alittle lazy but its been a shitty week. The remaining 3 should really start taking off here around the 30 day mark.

Het folks just a quick update. Since my latest disaster I am really trying to pump up my yields so i have been doing some hardcore LST . The forbidden runtz is looking great at day 34. Since i didnt top the banana blaze i have her laying down , Im trying to expose as many bud sites as humany possible and keep the canopys even. the 3 bears og is at day 20 in the back. All the plants in the 4x4 sprouted so we are off and running

UPPPDAAATTTEEE day 43 and 39
Day 43 for the forbidden Runtz and day 39 for th Banana Blaze and the 3 Bears OG. Are they done yet...i havent had a good harvest in going on 3 months and that just will not do. It is strictly head stash so having to hit the dispensary is a hurt piece.
