Sept 25th a.m. - fed ea. Congo and Natural Mystic 1/2 volume H2o/ Molasses mix; C 2.75L / NM 2.5L - fresh LST where needed - light survey showed an imbalance with taller autoflower in the mix. It was LST’d into a lower profile and moved deeper into the corner. Light distance for the Congo etc is now dialed-in after a bit of a shuffle. *** reminder Oct 8 is Lights-Out *** 36 hrs of darkness 26th - followed-up on yesterdays LST and put some actual direction on the Nat Mystic Branches. Its a tightly spaced unit but the branches are getting into some open air now. Look-out for what happens next 27th, - everything looks great this morning. Big feeds tonight if soil allows; 6.5L congo / 6L NM ** topping observation ** In an effort to produce a 16 cola plant using Topping methods, i am in the middle of a side by side topping experiment, and it does look like one method, Does has an advantage over the other! Waiting for each branch to grow past its first Node, and then produce a second Node, this will be the place to top, once the plant grows Past this 2nd node, on each branch. What results is that you only snip each branch Once, after the original Topping. 5 snips will produce 16 Tops. Allow each branch to grow past the 2nd node, then Top. It will produce 4 nodes naturally on each branch. Better overall spacing/symmetry The other significant feature of this response, is that the Durban Poison was a full week behind the Congo & N.M., and it has caught-up and Passed the progress of the natural mystic. Both of these plants (congo/nm) used the extra topping on the upper branch, and its required longer periods for the 4 bud-sites to develop per branch and extend away from the plant. It required more delicate fiddling than the (d)Urban Poison. **** - short video of the Tent uploaded this morning - no feed tonight, too moist 29th a.m. - soil said Go this morning; 6.5L h2o/nutes for the congo & 6L for the natural mystic - Collected details from N.M. & Congo run-off - pulled Northern Light express auto from the tent and replaced her with a 3.5 week old Green Mountain Grape. Move was done to help acclimatize to the cmh lite, ahead of Flower BONUS, you can actually see a bit of a droop on the Congo leaves… this mornings feed was 2 days overdue; the pot was actually lite & confirmed for me the condition of the soil is OK and not waterlogged. Pushed her a little bit towards a Drier Bottom since her last feed. Nice to see that as I crank it up - GMG has been super-cropped on the 28th, to help establish an even canopy - Slip, Snap, lost a Cola. Even though it was the runt, its gonna be missed 30th - OK, did a little homework last nite and the timing could not be better for me, with regards to Flushing 3 plants, ahead of the move into Flower. This stems from capturing some of the run-off after a bigger feed. What resulted is I found a high EC value on the Natural Mystic (3200) that indicates a build-up of Salts in the soil. The Volume 33% says its a bit much… i have been aggressive in my nutrient values but its been incremental. Regardless N.M. gets a quick bath to flush out this bit o History. Congo had less liquid come through but was still an elevated value (EC 2300) and will receive a Flush as well. ((d)URBAN POISON barely had any liquid come out. It will be flushed as well. Call it a tune-up, I’m in. * should anybody see something from those results that I’m missing or misinterpreted… Id be happy to hear about it. Please & Thanks pH probably has something to do with it too, but I don't care right now Effluent details: -Nat Myst released 2L out the bottom after being fed 6L : I’m going to reduce the volume of Water & Nutes fed, targeting 15% run-off. (5L next feed) -Congo released 600ml after 6.5L was fed; Which is a reasonable amount in active use; close to 10% - with height a constant issue in a tent, in my basement… i’m super happy with how low this whole grow has stayed through Veg. Kinda shocked actually… pic #23 - flushed Natural Mystic w/ 20 gallons water - (the little kids pool that I inflate, to flush-in… of course, sprouted a whole shitload of leaks in the Bottom when I was about 18 gallons in. And Yeh, the discharge hose on my electric pump DID COME OUT OF THE SINK DRAIN, 2x. I had water everywhere lol. Actually out in the garage taking care of things right now) Oct 1 - last day week 7 - re-applied the pins holding Nat Mystic in place. She is damp, Healthier & Hungry soon; target = 2 Meals b4 Lights-out. With Congo flush 100% happening… both Meal volumes tbd - been a busy week & things are about to change again. Learnings impact all the different grows. I’ve never flushed Mid-grow; and I’m liking-it !

Week started 27/09 Still losing lots of leaves per day (due to yellowing). #3 doesn't have anymore fan leaves and some bud leaves are looking droopy. I'm hoping they will make it through to harvest without the need to spray Neem. Getting some Nematodes this week to put into the soil in case it turns out I have root aphids. The indoor setup was complete this week and the plants are now growing indoors full time. Still having problems maintaining heat in the tent without the humidity rising very high. I'm stopping the extraction fan at various intervals to raise the temp of the room but the humidity levels shoot towards 90% with the lights on. #1 30/09 - 25ml/5L Flores at pH6.3. 03/10 - 25ml/5L Flores and PK 13/14 at pH6.5 #2 28/09 - 25ml/5L Flores at pH6.1. Runoff measured at pH5.9, EC 1.11ms 03/10 - 25ml/5L Flores and PK 13/14 at pH6.5 - developing some nice colas. #3 30/09 - 25ml/5L Flores at pH6.3. 03/10 - 25ml/5L Flores and PK 13/14 at pH6.5 - whilst it has lost a majority of its leaves, there is a nice cola forming at the top. #4 30/09 - 25ml/5L Flores at pH6.3. 03/10 - 25ml/5L Flores and PK 13/14 at pH6.5 The White Widow looks like will be ready in a couple of weeks. That was the last feed.

I was in the process of getting my plants ready for flip, and realized I never posted my weekly update yesterday. Last week: I did notice some light intensity issues starting to show so I raised the lights up and adjusted back to 50%. I did get overzealous with my training and broke a main stem last Wednesday. Taped her back no real issues or anything (yet) with the break the branch seems to be fine sofar. This week: Ill do a small top dress this week. (some compost, ewc and bloom fertilizer.) I plan on Flipping Mid / late week, unless the branch shows any stress signs then I'll wait a week. Any advice, tips or tricks are always welcome.

Note: Moisture and Temp readings are done in the mornings. Lights are on an 18/6 schedule on most days. Unless stated otherwise. 📏: AK1: 22 in (55.88 cm), AK2: 26 in (66.04 cm), North: 17 in (43.18 cm) Quick Notes: At the beginning of the week I was tending to the AKs deficiencies, all plants received a lot of extra nutrients this week. I think it was related to being underfed or underwater. Midway through the week, they started to recover and grow taller. North is on the verge of flowering. I also lollipopped all plants to try and clear the lower region so it's easy to water and so the plants can focus growth on the important parts. Overall the AKs have been drinking up a storm (watering almost every day at this point), I'm trying to keep an eye out for overfeeding. I'm feeding every watering for now until I see issues pop up, then I'll slow down. Next week may be the week I start flower (guessing since these are autos). Day 42 (Jul 8) - Plants look the same as yesterday pretty much, AK1 & AK2 are doing less of the 'preparation droop'. The major yellow leaves are starting to crust off and it seems like the mid/upper leaves are not getting paler / translucent. Watering with a lot of Nutrients this morning. 💧: Tap: x pH (Forgot to measure tap) Adjusted with Concentrated Lemon Juice AK1: 1 liter (5.7 pH, 2.5 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag) AK2: 1 liter (6.1 pH, 2.5 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag) North: 1 liter (5.6 pH, 2 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1 ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag) 💦: 41% (36-58) - 🌡️: 28C (25-34) Day 43 - Lights out overnight, starting 7 hrs from 130am. Lights on, AL1 & AK2 perky, surprised AK2 is perky. The yellowing seems to have slowed on both plants. AK2 developed salty spots on random leaves. *AK2 grew 4 inches in 2 days. 💦: 52% (36-65) - 🌡️: 28C (23-31) Day 44 - Lights 24 hours. Watering in the morning, pots are light and the soil is pretty dry. Giving a little less Nitrogen / Micro and more Bloom to North since she's clearly showing some white pistols (and it doesn't seem to be suffering from the same things as the AK's). 💧: Tap: 8.15 pH Adjusted with pH Down AK1: 1.5 liter (6.1 pH, 2.5 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1.5 ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag, 1.5 ml Voodoo Juice) AK2: 1.5 liter (5.8 pH, 2 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1.5 ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag, 1.5 ml Voodoo Juice) North: 1.5 liter (6 pH, 1.5 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 2 ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag, 1.5 ml Voodoo Juice) 💦: 41% (35-65) - 🌡️: 31C (23-31) Day 45 - Soil pretty dry, a little damp ¾ inch below surface. Got 3-in-1 pH / Light / Moisture reader in mail, pH is reading pretty alkaline soil (need to investigate, not sure if accurate). 💧: Tap: 7.10 pH Adjusted with pH Down AK1: 1.5 liter (7? pH [forgot to record the exact amount], 2 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1.5 ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag) AK2: 1.5 liter (6.15 pH, 2 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1.5 ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag) North: 1.5 liter (6.15 pH, 1.5 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 2 ml FloraBloom, 2 ml CalMag) 💦: x% (34-37) - 🌡️: xC (28-30) Day 46 - Lights off overnight (9 hrs), with exhaust fan on so watered pots don't humidity tent. Plants look relatively fine, North's bud sites are developing (think I see 2 new sites). Placed Oscillating fan in tent for more circulation, average temps decreased overall. 💦: 62% (34-34) - 🌡️: 24C (23-31) Day 47 - Lights off overnight (~9 hrs). Spent some time Lolipopping the plants, then watered. *North soil wasn't completely dry yet. 💧: Tap: 7.30 pH Adjusted with pH Down AK1: 1.5 liter (5.9 pH, 2 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1.5 ml FloraBloom, 2 ml CalMag, 1.5 ml Voodoo Juice) 875 PPM AK2: 1.5 liter (5.75 pH, 2 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1.5 ml FloraBloom, 2 ml CalMag, 1.5 ml Voodoo Juice) 1050 PPM North: 1.5 liter (6? pH, 1 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 2 ml FloraBloom, 2 ml CalMag, 2 ml Voodoo Juice) 💦: 54% (40-64) - 🌡️: 27C (23-29) Day 48 (Jul 14) - Lights dimmed overnight. Not watering North since the soil is still moister than the AKs. AK soils are not completely dry. All plants are beginning to flower, especially North so I'm lowering FloraMicro for now to see the response and upping FloraBloom. 💧: Tap: 7.60 pH Not adjusted AK1: 1 liter (6.2 pH, 1.5 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 2 ml FloraBloom, 2 ml CalMag, 1.5 ml Voodoo Juice) ~1200 PPM AK2: 1 liter (6.2 pH, 1.5 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 2 ml FloraBloom, 2 ml CalMag, 1.5 ml Voodoo Juice) 💦: 72% (41-74) - 🌡️: 25C (24-30)

11/9: I took some photos and added a 35w 3500k LED to the top section and have it pointed towards the backside of one of them and my little Stardawggy. 11/10: Today, I super-cropped about 10 different mains and branches on various plants. The canopy is now much more even. They'll be ready for a feeding tomorrow. 11/11: I fed them all about 1/3 gallon each with big bloom, tiger bloom, beastie bloomz, cal-mag, bembe, humic acid concentrate, myco/tricho, signal, and a little grow big. 11/12: I spent a couple of hours tying down branches and tucking leaves to get more light down into some of the plants, and rotated the edge plants. 11/13: I rotated the edge plants and added a TNB Naturals CO2 enhancer to the closet. I raised the thermostat on the ac infinity to 86f, so as not to exhaust it all, but with the cold air intake, it's rarely even coming on anyway.👍 11/14: Their buds are swelling up nicely! I fed them again today because I'm still seeing some signs of potassium and phosphorus deficiencies. I went 1/2 strength with the grow big, but full strength with everything else... 11/15: Last day of week 6 and I'm happy with their progress. I plucked off the dead shit and tried to reposition some of the lower branches to get more light. Took some photos and shot some budporn video..sexy ladies!😍

This week buds are super dense and getting frosty by the day. Starting to wish I made the best use of space as some of the lower canopy not recieving as much light. A little difficult to reach all plants. Arimq is very strong and citusy , pungent & fruity.

👉this is week start of week 8 and the switch to the 12/12 schedule. the plant is on the 6th week on the GH nutrient chart for its flora series drain to waste schedule.This is considered early bloom and the only difference from the transition nutrients is the reduction of FloraGrow and addition of Liquid KoolBloom. The water I use is RO water from a medical grade industrial machine (not on site). Its conductivity is .04ms. Its 98.5% pure water. I believe this is helping me mix my nutrients at full strength and achieve the middle to upper end of the recommended ec range. The volume of plant uptake has increased quite alot. I am averaging 2 liters two times a day, but as the week progressed a couple of high flow fertigations were needed to keep the run off below +30ms. I feed my Marigold plant the run-off after Ive measured it. The fertigation station is in a closet in another room and doorways wipe my memory so I fed 99 the runoff a couple days ago (9-16). So I fertigated 1.5 liter immediately. That runoff was close to 30+. The lights were going out so the next morning i fertigated with 4liters. That runoff was +10. That night was 2liters w/.9 liter runoff +10. I plant on keeping the flow a little high to help prevent any nutrient deficiencies while its doing the early flowering stretch. 👉The plant is lush and green and growing as a nice round bush. Stout main stalk and is 21". I began plucking lower leaves that were reducing airflow around the base. These could pose a mildew risk if left on because they are in contact with the pot and reducing airflow across the top of the media. They were shaded now by the expanding branches above so it was time to remove them. I like to take leaves gradually, one or two per fertigation event. I also have taken off the bottom 3 branches. They were healthy and had plenty of potential bud sites...but they would be in the shade and never meet the potential of the upper buds. I may take two more low branches, but I will keep them if they keep stretching outward and upwards and stay in the direct light. When they start flowering full time I will have removed as many of the potential larf bud nodes on the interior of each branch. Nothing extreme, just the basic lollipop on the bottom and reducing larf production up top. 👉I am using a cordless work light to make the pictures better. My phone camera flash isnt bright enough to over come the LED blurple and the addition of the very bright work light makes the picture way better. As you can see I will still be taking some of the pix with the LEDs on, but also use the camera flash and the work light and that helps bring out the green better. But lights out show a more detailed realistic image and I will include more pix this way. 👉Switching to 12/12 has been a challenge. I work varied hours and making it home before lights out is hit and miss. Also being a stoner I forget stuff if I get distracted by a movie, a sporting event or a shiny object, so visits to the tent during dark times will happen. I have green lights installed in the room and in the hallway. I have a good headlamp with green LEDs. I missed the first day and had to fertigate after hours...sigh. I took pictures with the green light on but no flash.

This week in our organic grow we are introducing Fox Farms beastie blooms into the garden to help initiate flower production and to help boost up the nutrients the plant is receiving as all “feedings” are beneficial teas.

Another good week. I knew it had bulked, but I didn't realize it has been that much in one week until I looked at last weeks videi. If I could control my temps and humidity better, I'm sure I'd see even greater results. It almost looks like I'm getting browjnf on the edges of my leaves, but to the named eye, it looks like it's just turning purple. There is some other discoloration happening, but I'm not to worried. Like her mom, she's foxtailing and has 2 or 3 buds with bleached tips. The foxtail gene seems to be common in solfire genetics I feel I've seen. I'm sure heat and some lighting didn't help. But the rest of the plant is loving it. 3 more weeks. Hopefully a solid 2 more of bulk before that last week of Ripening.

I switched to a flowing light cycle mid week and they all took it on pretty well. The first lingering smell is developing while they strech and gained almost 5cm in only 3 days. I removed a couple of large fan leaves, mostly the bottom ones and a pair of top leaves to give light a chance to penetrate further don the canop

(The numbers of this harvest are from a single plant) I ended REAL ORGANIC and let plants dry by themselves on their pots outside the tent and gradually day after day i was picking and selecting dry buds from the branches 2 smoke m all! This particular diary gave me a sense of adventure, and a lot of fun, i´ll always remenber that made my quareentine a lot easier to live, by that time i felt i was prepared even for the end of the times if it comes to that 😂

We’re officially in the first week of flowering, and the stretch has already started! 🌿 The plant without LST has shot up quickly, growing tall and strong. However, I noticed a few rusty spots on the leaves, which might be a calcium or magnesium deficiency. To help, I’ve slightly increased the CalMag and Bloom nutrients for that plant. 🌱 Other than that, everything seems to be going well, and I’m happy with the overall progress. It’s exciting to see them enter this new phase, and I can’t wait to see how the buds begin to form! 😁✨

Still working on my canopy. I did some defoliation in order to encourage growth at the bud sites and improve circulation. I have 3-4 weeks until her sister is mature enough to flower. I took a gamble and germinated another seed two weeks ago because the one I originally planted with her turned out to be male. I hope it will be mature enough to produce a decent yield. Even though it will only have been growing for 4 weeks. By that time I expect most of the bud sites on the older plant to have grown through the trellis, and I should have a nice even canopy. The second plant will just be grown as is with very little training. I don't want to slow its growth at all.
