Freedom 35

Squidwich For germination, soaked seeds in water with splash of peroxide for 24 hours. After they cracked opened slightly, placed seeds in wet paper towel in humidity dome for 24 hours and finally placed in peat pucks to start day 1. 50% nutes started on day 6. * Can't enter grams / gallon in nutrient table up top but this should be a constant: 4-18-38 (2.4 grams/gallon) + Epsom Salt (1.2 grams/gallon) + Calcium Nitrate (2.4 grams/gallon) ** Switching to MasterBlend from Jacks 3-2-1 for this grow since it's cheaper. Wanted to go full hydro or maybe try out autopots but will stick to what I know for now.

Squidwich 9/21/2025 - V14 - Forum Stomper x HubbaBubbaSmelloScope (FSx) so far is growing faster than Double Grape (DG), but just hope they remain about same size. Nutrients at 50-60% strength. * Bonus pic with additional herbs are being grown hydroponically using the kratky method and same nutrients as our 2 plants. They'll stay in same tent until no more room for them.

Squidwich 9/28/2025 - V21 Not sure if I got a dud in the double grape (DG) seed. There's a missing branch on node 3 and, with regards to height and width, is being outpaced by Forum Stomper x Hubbaforgotrealname (FSx). Both plants are currently growing node 6 and going to top there, and also probably remove the bottom node. Original plan was to have 8 main branches with 2 bud sites each, so basically 16 buds for each plant, but with the DG plant missing branch on node 3 not sure yet. Both plants now receiving full 100% nutes. Topping and LST for next week. * Plant companions update * Basil has bolted, and it never did look as healthy as the others. so probably did something wrong with her. Have to take her down now. Germinated some bok choy seeds for first time! Excited to grow it after seeing hydroponic video on it. They're only going to be tent for little while until ready for new home in hydroponic tower.

Squidwich V28 - 10/5/2025 Looks like pre-flower pistils evident on both plants so for this grow we'll say flower starts tomorrow. Topped both at 6th node earlier this week and followed with LST and mild defoliation. Ideally would have wanted to top 2nd time but maybe too late for that? Also, have a scrog net if needed, but that would block light from the smaller companion plants. FSx currently at 8.5" and DG at 6". ** Companion plant update ** Bok choy seedlings doing ok with 50% nute strength. Not sure how much longer they'll be in tent. Most of the dill plant is much paler than I'd like and the leaf edges of the Thai basil look burnt, but the cilantro is showing great growth and I got to taste test some today with some ramen! These plants are sharing the same 20/4 light cycle as the MJ plants so this can't be too beneficial for them. Grok said it could lead to early bolting so we'll have to watch out for that too.
