CanniGrow420 First time plant owner, so had prepared as well as i can hope, got the Propagator setup, with a 50W 6500K Flood LED, Dimmed to 24W, top mounted in the 60x40x60 tent, with a 14W side mounted fan, running 24h a day. All watering will be done with Reverse Osmoses water and a 10μM H2O2 Solution. The Lights have been set for 22/2. The Seedling Homes: (6 pcs.) The seeds were planted in ½L plastic pots. For each pot 5g of Mycorrhizae was mixed into the soil, and then added to the pot, and a small indentation was made, added a light sprinkle of Mycorrhizae, and laid the seed on top, pointy end up. Then i covered with about ½-1 cm of soil. Then watered. Water for initial watering: Used just about 800-850 mL of Root Juice solution. I had made 1L of Root Juice solution, so will be saving the rest for next watering. Watering made the soil compress about 1-2 cm, leaving room to supplement with soil later during Seedling, shortning the plants, for more root development, high in the soil. Seedling Light Schedule: This is a bit special, to start i was going to go for 24/0, but i saw a youtube vid, where the guy had tested 6, 12, 18 and 24h seedling lights on vegetabels, not cannabis, though he said he will be doing 16/8 from now on, i got a different takeaway from the experiment. Seing the seedlings of the experiment, my winner was 24/0 because as he said the plants were almost as fine as the 18/6 but had signs of light leafburn and stress. So i compromised and is doing 22/2 to give it max Light, but still a daily break, albeit short, but 2h of darkness. Planting day: (Day 1) Aug 12th at 15:45. First seedling (PC6) broke ground on the 15th. The last one (BOG2) broke ground late on the 16th, reaching 100% germination. Aug 17th Notes (Day 5): First watering was today. That means the plants have had 5 dry days. Feed them the remaining 150-200 mL of Root Juice solotion, from top, and then left them to bottomfeed from 1L of 10μM H2O2 Solution for 10 min. After 10 min, about 100mL was left behind, so they ate about 1-1.1L total. (Bottomfeeding is for root training, teach them to go deep for water and nutrients) Notes: Was supposed to do a 1μM solution, but did a 10x miscalculation. But as i am intending on bottomfeeding for now, i am chancing the numbers. This is subject to change. Aug 18th Notes: (Day 6: Last day of Week 1 Seedling) Just went over to check my Mint, Basil and Cherry Tomatoes, Only 1 of the 7 tomato seeds i planted have broken ground, and my Basil. The Mint is not showing. Funny thing is, the Tomato and Mint seeds were rather expensive, but the Basil i found on sale of almost out of date seeds, and they are the ones that seem to work. The Mint and Basil is there because i read they keep some crawlers away, and the tomato is there cos i love tomatoes. You can spot the tomato that has broken ground in the Aug 17th pic above, it's the leaves just visible in the top right hand corner of the picture. Will try to do a daily pic, at least through Seedling stage. End of week 1 Seedling Germination Next Week: Now it should be 4-5 days before watering again. Next time i water i will add some more soil, to shorten the seedling, and cover the stem to do roots. Next watering will be the last watering with 10μM H2O2 Solution only, after that, i am adding Cal-Mag to the water. Ordered some Diatomaceous Earth (DE) to add to the soil (Insect disinfectant, and grow materials for the weedlings), should get here tomorrow, so should be there for next watering also. Note to self: Remember to top water the DE into the top soil with pure water, do not top water with the 10μM H2O2 Solution from the top, OR you could dillute the 10μM into a 1μM before topwatering. ------ Below, is thoughts and ideas that sprout from above diary, but answers a lot of reasons for growing style ----- My growing style is going to be based in "Welcome to the GrowTent" (WTTGT) on YouTube's growstyle and teachings. But having watched some content on growing tomatoes, and dealing with insects, fungi and molds, i have come across Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) and the good it does for plants, but having my style so heavily relying on Mycorrhizae, a fungi that H2O2 will eliminate, i started looking into the possibility of combining the 2. When i started my search for this Aug 15th, a study from China came up, that was published back in 2014, that shows there can be a benefit, but in extremly low doses. I plan to do a lot of experiments to get the dose optimal, and see if i can get the disinfecting qualities of H2O2, while still maintaining a healty Mycorrhizae colony on the root system. Gonna be tough with a solution where 1μM will aid, but 100μM will eliminate. With those tight margins, is it even possible to spray leaves with stronger H2O2 solutions, to prevent fungi and mold, and still maintain a healthy Mycorrhizae colony below, or should you just use it in case you get it. The result would be the end of Bud root, as you can 100% environment safe prevent it with H202, which is basically no extra cost, and should already be on your shelf anyway, as it should be used to clean pots before reuse. WTTGT's style appealed to me, because i can see it fitting with how plants do the work, not me. The Cannabis plant evolved over centuries without human interferrance, and if we disappear, they willl likely still be here. Whatever i do, i can try to guide them, and i can either aid them or stunt them by handling and training them, but i cannot control them. I want to find the optimal for all possible aiding parameters, that can improve yeild and keep them safe from fungi and molds like eg. Bud Rot, and stunt them as little as possible, while keeping it safe for the planet. The plan for it, is to send Mycorrhizae, to do the work i cannot do on roots, and let me do what Mycorrhizae does, for the top of the plant. Why all the testing: As most laws allowing the growth of Cannabis, seems to be plant number based, my goal is to see if i can push the yeild pr. plant, while minimizing chemicals, by only adding natural resources, where possible. H2O2 is a chemical, but one that nature produces naturally with exactly the same chemical composition. The only "real" nutrients i will be adding during this grow will be a mix of BioBizz Grow and BioBizz Bloom, in week 4 or 5 of Flower. I will be using Cal-Mag from week 2 of seedling, until the switch to Epsom Salt, in week 4-5 of Flower, for supplements when watering. When transplanting Week 3 or 4 of Seedling and Day of Flip, i will be adding a heavy Mycorrhizae dosed BioBizz Allmix soil, with added Diatomaceous Earth. Note: Diatomaceous Earth (DE) should have been added to the initial seedling blend, but i did not find out about having to add Silica to the soil, until Aug 17th. Should get added once every 4 weeks. As both the first two addings of DE fall the same week as transplanting, i will add it to the soil i add when transplanting, Mycorrhizae will get it to the plant from the added soil, when needed. Context for the focus on Mycorrhizae/Hydrogen Peroxide this grow: H2O2 is Hydrogen Peroxide: It starts to break down into Water and Oxygen, when it gets into contact with organic materials, so the end products it releases are completely harmeless. This is used for fighting pests, fungi and molds, but normally when using Mycorrhizae (A fungi), you cannot use H2O2 because it kills fungi. A very new study (Google: Integrated effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and hydrogen peroxide on the root system of trifoliate orange seedlings) has shown increased symbiosis activity with a very low concentration. When i say low concentration, i do mean low, as in a 1:862223 solution. That is 1mL H2O2 (3%) pr. 862L water. I will be using this at every watering during the whole grow. As i started at a 10x of the intended, i will continue using the 10μM for the rest of the grow, but when veg starts i am doing clones to get experience, and will test the optimum μM to feed, the study says 1μM improves and 100μM kills the Mycorrhizae, so hope 10μM does not kill them. Hoping bottomfeeding prevents the H2O2 reaching and killing the full Myccorsphere, before it has broken down, no problem with the broken down H2O2 and Mycorrhizae. Besides, looking at how H2O2 affect the root system by releasing Oxygen into the soil, feeding it as low as possible, should give the most optimum deployment of H2O2 possible. Maybe i can go even stronger, requires experimentation. That being said, should my plants get something H2O2 can cure, like Root rot or Bud rot, i will be sacrificing the Mycorrhizae instantly, for plant health. Rather have low yeild, than useless high yeild. H2O2 will still be good for the plant, just not as good as Mycorrhizae. You can reintroduce more Mycorrhizae once the plant has recovered, if it gets compromised, but there might be nothing else that can cure what it got. IF conditions should even near conditions for Bud root, i will immidiately be spraying the Colas with H2O2, to not allow for it to get started at all. At some point i will be testing if spaying top leaves with a 1:2 solution, required to fight fungi and molds with H2O2, to test if it ever reaches the soil and kills the Mycorrhizae. The reason is, if it does not take out the Mycorrhizae, i will be spraying it with a 1:2 solution on canopy at every watering to prevent anything from even having conditions for colonizing, as i se no negative effects of H2O2, only positives in a tent environment. Experiment idea: At some point i should test weather of not the benefits of H2O2 are greater than Mycorrhizae, so to se if a plant living on a higher H2O2 mix will do better than a Mycorrhizae with low 1-10μM. Mycorrhizae is expensive, and H2O2 is virtually free, so worth to se if it is worth it. This might be a full grow length experiment, cos they are basically completely different growing environments. Experiment idea: Though i am not going to be starting from seeds again, i do have some "unknown" seeds, i am wanting to experiment with H2O2 as a germination starter, and compare to a Mycorrhizae/Root Juice cocktail of sorts, to see "Can I Speedrun Cannabis germination.". Though the seeds are unknown, and therefore not at all viable for any kind of reliable test, it would be fun to see if they would show any kind of usefull data, for seedstarting. First the seeds will be placed in a small container with the testing solution, thinking a shot glass. Thinking 4 sets of 2 seeds and 3 controls, only got 11, so will have to do, hopefully i can get a few more. That gives 6 possible combinations. 3 will be tested with 3% H2O2 Solutions: 1:100+Root Juice, 1:100 and 1:10. 3 will be tested with Mycorrhizae and Root Juice in different solutions: 1:100, 1:50 and 1:10. Zero Solution controls plants, 1 seed will be started in plain water, and 2 seeds will be started in the pot directly, to see if the seedstarter is faster at all. This might show if moving the root after sprouting, stunts the plant, and if so, can adding H2O2 or Mycorrhizae during sprouting, offset this stress. The 4 sets of 2, the seeds will stay in the solution til they sporut, i will try to dunk 1 to the bottom, and leave 1 floating. They will be covered with wrap and placed in the dark. When/If they sprout roots, they will get planted into a pot, with my normal soil mix with Mycorrhizae. The result will be evaluated on time to sprout, and size of plant after 1, 2, and if room in the propagator, 3 and 4 weeks. If one looks tempting, i might grow it fully, just to se what that seed is, rumoured to be a mainly skunk strain. But the bud i got it from, is not from a good grow. Has no smell, no taste and virtually no effect, but even a badly grown plant, should still produce full potential seeds. Well that alone is another piece of interesting information that might bring one or two to full length test. Added the pic of my iPhone eWeLink app, and the setup i have done. The three large "buttons" are for activating the 3 different options. Both the On (01:00) and Off (23:00) sets the On/Off state selected and activate the schedule for On and Off, which leaves the Fan On, and deactivates the Shutoff safety. To completely shutoff the 2x1 is by the Shutoff button, that turns everything off and disables the timers for On and Off. As a safety, the Shutoff also activates a midnight (00:00) safety shutoff, daily, in case something had not shutoff, or turned On by me. There is a Temperature and Humidity sensor, that records the values with 1 decimal precision, in something that i can download, have not yet tried it, but the data will likely be valueable at some point in time. Also got one for the 4x4, and will most like get one for the 80x80, and one for the room all 3 tents are placed in. Have not yet setup the 80x80 tents so the Smart Home devices are not yet connected. Aug 18: Got the 4x4 tent put together, now i am just waiting for the mounting frame, before i can start mounting power, smart home devices for monitoring, dimming and On/Off, lights, ventilation and in-tent circulation fans.

CanniGrow420 Aug 19th: First day of the week Got a picture of each of the 6 plants. They are growing fast, 3 have developped the next set of leaves, and they somehow are almost the same height, despite 2 days between first and last braking ground. Also noticed one more Tomato has broken ground, 2 in 7 is not good. Aug 21: The plants were dried up, so added about 1-2 cm of soil to the top of the pots, sprinkled a bit of Silica on top, and watered 250 mL across all 6 plants, to get the Silica into the soil. Then left the 6 plants to suck up 1.5L of 10μM Solution, for about 20 minutes, last 10 seems unnessasary. Put them in a different tray, and let them "runoff" for about 15 minutes before putting them back in the Propagator. When they finished drinking i poured the remaining 10μM H2O2 Solution into a bucket, and weighed it. Total they drank 250 mL plain water (from top) and 871,2 mL 10μM H2O2 Solution (From bottomfeeding). Total 1.121 mL, so just a tad more than last watering. All 6 have started the second set of fan leaves. They look amazing, for being only 9 days out, from being seeds. Next watering will have Cal-Mag added on top of the 10μM Solution. Aug 25: Watering was up, nice and dry. Added 1mL/L Cal-Mag to the water on top of the 10μM H2O2 Solution. Last time i did not get the Silica watered sufficiently into the soil, so top watered about 0,75L, gave it the remaining 0.75L to bottomfeed from, after about 20 minutes, they had left behind a bit less than 0.4L, so they ate around 1.1L, so close to the same as last time. I do not think i got the Silica into the soil this time either, so might try the same next time they need water. Added a photo after watering.

CanniGrow420 Aug 29: Added the individual pictures, they grew a LOT. They were very dry and light, so time for some watering later today. I think i must have made a mistake on how much water they ate on last watering, because they ate more this time, but lower waste weight after bottom feeding. I must admit i will no longer be mainly bottom feeding. This time they ate about 1.06 L of 10μM H2O2 Solution with 3 mL/L Cal-Mag, though they were left in there for 30 minutes, i still had to mainly feed with a pipette taking the soak water and adding it to the top, so bottomfeeding is not really working as i thought it would, so will be doing water til run-off instead. Just hope the Mycorrhizae survives the 10x H2O2 Soloution, but so far it seems to live fine, though i have not fully topwatered with that solution. Bottomfeeding also seems to leave the Cal-Mag at the bottom of the feedtray instead of in the soil. Added an after watering picture. Three or four of the plants are very close to their first topping, 3 leavesplits, and only the little leaves in the elbow are not there yet, but some are getting close. Was not expecting to have to top, less than 3 weeks from seed. One of the girls is in particular getting tall, towering at 14 cm, and the shortest plant is only 6 cm, but the remaining 4 are withing 7-11 cm. The tall plant has most of its height in the part that is below the first set of leaves, so the height can be burried at first transplant, that sould be end of next weekend, if not before. But i see no problem in re-aligning the canopy at transplant. Only problem is the light mount for the 4x4 tent that is missing, but hopefully i am getting whats missing begining-mid next week, so the girls can get into the bigger pots and tent, next weekend.
