Day 64: I've been on vacation for four days now. However, I was able to keep an eye on everything remotely using the spiderfarmer app. They look great. The Pink Cookies and the Purple Kush have grown quite a bit taller. The buds have generally grown larger and the first frost is visible. I watered all the plants with 2 liters of water mixed with fertilizer and Cal Mag. More shoots have also woven into the web. Day 65: Not much has changed since yesterday. The plants look healthy and happy. I lowered the light by 10 cm. I hung the fan over the lamp and set it to a faster speed. The flowers look beautiful. Since the Pink Gelato is growing taller now, I had to adjust the humidifier a bit. What varieties are you currently growing? Day 66: The girls are doing well! Today I defoliated the plants again. I decided to remove some of the leaves so that the top buds would grow nicely and I'd have as few popcorn buds as possible. I hope it wasn't too much. I also watered all three plants with 2 liters of water mixed with Hesi-Bio-Bloom and Cal Mag. Unfortunately, it's still quite warm in the tent. Do you have any ideas how I can get the temperature down? Day 67: Everything's still going well. They've taken the defoliation well so far and look healthy. Day 68: Today I gave them another 2 liters of water with fertilizer and cal mag. They look beautiful and have another 5-6 weeks to develop the flowers! Day 69: Today, all three girls received 2 liters of water with fertilizer and Cal Mag. I also raised the Purple Kush and created a raised area underneath it. I also increased the humidity to counteract the heat. Day 70: Today, all three girls were given 2 liters of water with fertilizer and CalMag. Otherwise, not much has happened. The buds are getting bigger and bigger. Unfortunately, it's still too hot in the tent—I hope it cools down soon!

Well this week I’ve tried lollipop on my main plants also removed a lot of fan leaves that we’re stopping air circulation also light reaching down to growing flowers beneath! Introduced canna flores and more cal mag to my feed! Also introduced another led light and turned up ballast light upto 400w keeping temperature at 26 when lights go out also it’s hitting temperatures of 28! When lights are on! Is this is an issue as I’ve removed my humidifiers! As been getting good readings without using a humidifier in a good few weeks now! They seem to be looking good! But still having to do research as would love to create some big colas!!! Second week into flowering now!

19.1.25: I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g. I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes. It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements. I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients. Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;- ♡ 2ml Cal-Mag ♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max ♡ 1g of Ecothrive Biosys I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements. I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. 🙄 I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation. The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double. I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest. I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too. I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle. 24.1.25: I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix. This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments: ♡ 60% Canna coco ♡ 20% Worm castings ♡ 15 % Perlite The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;- ♡ 10g Ecothrive Biosys ♡ 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano ♡ 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth ♡ 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon ♡ 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster. ♡ 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle. •Worm castings for some all round nutrition. •Cinnamon for mildew and bug repellent. •Canna coco base substrate. •Perlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system. •Green Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds. •Vitalink bat guano again for Bloom. •RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes. •Ecothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits. •Diatomaceous earth for Silica. •Ecothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial boost. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Introduction - Week 14|07 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9437.65, Great week of growing! Wow what a good week! Growth in the main tent has all around been incredible! Submitted my first submission to the Global Grow Cup! Filmed a video of the solo cup container (marked with the ticket/order number) that will be used for the competition. Also had to fill and prove the solo cup holds 2 cups of soil. Now I need to root a clone (for the first time), transplant her into this cup, and submit my 2nd entry before the 30th of this month. As far as my first attempt at cloning, have already begun the rooting process! Managed to take cuttings from 3 out of the 6 phenos in the main tent (the first cutting was also my first time topping). Soaked the cuttings for two days before planting them into Coco Coins. So far everything has gone surprisingly well! The clones are now rooting under the propagation dome with the vents fully closed. Will check for roots soon! At the end of the week, growth was just raging! Was planning on flipping to flower in a week, but decided to begin the first week of flower next week! Thus this is the last week of veg. Plan to flip to 12/12 next Monday! Onwards to next week! [START OF WEEK 14|07] ========================================================== Garlic Budder #1 - WEEK 14|07 - Full Veg Wk5 Garlic Budder #2 - WEEK 14|07 - Full Veg Wk2 Garlic Budder #3 - WEEK 07 - Full Veg Wk5 Garlic Budder #4 - WEEK 06 - Full Veg Wk4 06/03/24 → 06/09/24 This Week's Estimated Goals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DLI: ~26 mol/m²/d PPFD: ~400 μmol/m²/s VPD: ~1.0 kPa This Week's Meter Readings & Averages [Lights On: 16:00 - 10:00] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DLI: 24.56 mol/m²/d PPFD: 379 μmol/m²/s VPD: 0.91 kPa Soil %: [32.7, 37.6, 37.9, 34.1] ========================================================== Day 01 - Monday - 06/03/24 - Total Days: 098 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 80.7°F [27.1°C] - Humidity: 74.4% - VPD: 0.90 kPa - Soil %: [31, 34, 39, 35] ----------------------------------- - [09:57]: Quick morning check! --- #1 is looking a bit droopy, but almost lights off (at 10:00) so not concerned. --- Nice! Mainly wanted to check on #4 and she is looking great! She’s perked back up and looking good! - [23:08]: Evening check. --- Wow! It’s a jungle in here! --- #1 has gotten too big? Nah!? Keep on growing girl! --- #2 is growing and definitely getting bigger! Growth just looking really weird. --- #3 has continued to get larger and is looking quite uniform in growth! --- #4 is growing and looking perky again! --- Even the original #1 and #2 phenos (in the back) are looking good! --- Wow! #4 is really getting close to the light. - [23:14]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! - [23:27]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 30% - [CH01 EB1 - Garlic Budder #1] --- 34% - [CH02 EB2 - Garlic Budder #2] --- 39% - [CH03 GFP - Garlic Budder #3] --- 32% - [CH04 FPT - Garlic Budder #4] - [23:32]: Poured 4 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 2 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [23:38]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the 4X4’s humidifier with distilled water. --- Tomorrow, plan to defoliate and start cloning for the first time! --- Going to take multiple cuttings from both #1 and #4 for sure, but still deciding on the rest. --- Getting hyped! Day 02 - Tuesday - 06/04/24 - Total Days: 099 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 81.4°F [27.4°C] - Humidity: 74.3% - VPD: 0.93 kPa - Soil %: [29, 35, 38, 32] ----------------------------------- - [11:59]: Time to film the first entry for the Global Grow Cup! --- Going to be using BuildASoil 3.0 potting soil. --- Filming the video using a stand and my phone. --- This video is mainly to establish the container that the plant will be grown in. Also to prove that the container is a 16oz container and that it can hold 2 cups of soil. --- The ticket (order) number also had to be written on the cup. - [12:36]: Done! --- The video had to be done in one continuous shot with no edits (my original submission does not have the logo). --- There was also a photo that needed to be shot which shows the cup filled with 2 cups of soil (just like the video, the original image submission did not have the logo). --- I think I did everything correctly, but also sent an email for verification of submission and validation. --- Getting hyped! --- [*smokes a bowl] --- Going to defoliate today along with for the first-time, going to take cuttings for clones! --- After a bit of online research, decided to split the cloning process into two days. --- Today going to take cuttings and will soak them in a solution of aloe for 24hrs. Afterwards will change the water out and use straight distilled water. --- Then in a couple days, plan to transplant into coco plugs (Coco Coins) for rooting. --- For optimal results, also be using a rooting hormone (Clonex). --- Well.. Here goes nothing! - [17:01]: Evening check. --- Wow! #1 is looking huge! Her main top is stretching above the lower canopy which is continuing to bush out. --- #2 is growing along. Growth is gnarly and a bit droopy, but she’s getting taller! --- #3 is looking great! Still a bit small, but she is continuing to get larger. --- #4 looks like she needs a watering. --- Both plants in the back are also looking surprisingly great as well! - [17:05]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! --- As far as today's defoliation, going to leave #2 and #3 alone and will focus my defoliation and cloning on the rest of the plants. --- This will be my first attempt at cloning, also going to try topping for the first time today. --- No pressure Ensign. What can possibly go wrong right? - [17:27]: Time to start the cloning and defoliation process! --- Filled a measuring cup with 3 cups of distilled water. ------ Added 3/4tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1 more cup of distilled water --- Mixed the solution and poured an even amount into three separate solo cups. --- Made sure to mark two of the cups (#1 and #4). The unmarked one will be for any other clones from amongst the 6 phenos (if any at all). - [17:43]: Time to top and defoliate #1! --- Using a pair of brand new trimmers (AC Infinity), --- Gently cut the main stalk to even out the canopy. --- Then trimmed and cleaned most of the nodes leaving the top node or two. --- Also trimmed the leaf fingers a bit before placing the top cutting into the cup of aloe solution. --- Now for the rest of the cuttings! --- [~45 minutes later] - [18:32]: Managed to finish defoliating and cutting the rest of the clones. --- Took two more lower cuttings from #1 (3 clones total). --- Took 3 lower cuttings from #4 --- While defoliating, decided to try and clone the original #2 pheno as well. Took 4 small cuttings. --- Similar to the top cutting, trimmed and cleaned each lower node for each cutting before placing them into the cups. --- Before finishing up the 2nd cutting, I noticed the first cutting (the top cut that was also trimmed) was drooping. --- So I did not trim and the leaf fingers for the other cuttings. --- In total there were 10 cuttings taken for potential clones. --- My main focus was to take cuttings and to clean up all the lower growth from both #1 and #4. --- Defoliated and cleaned up the back original phenos as well (also trimmed back the cover crop). - [18:35]: Temporarily placed the cuttings onto the floor of the 4x4 tent. --- Took the trimmings (about 3 cups) and spread them onto the top mulch of #1 and #2. --- Time to set the environmental controls for the 3x3 veg tent. - [18:43]: Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Veg Tent [3x3] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the grow light. ------ Set the Mode to ‘On Mode’ ------ Set the START/END times to 04:00PM/10:00AM ------ Set the MAX to 1 --- The IonBoard S33 is now utilizing around 60.8W (at intensity 1 out of 10). --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the exhaust fan. ------ Increased the Humidity’s HIGH trigger value from 81% to 87% --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the humidifier. ------ Decreased the VPD target value from 1.5kPa to 0.8kPa - [18:52]: Moved the cuttings into the 3x3 veg tent. --- It begins! I think. --- Going to let these cutting drink some aloe for a day before switching to straight distilled water. --- Hmm. Could be the white floor of the 3x3 veg tent, but have noticed the S33 has a whiter spectrum whereas the FC-6500 seems to be warmer in color. --- Anyways, - [18:58]: Poured 4 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 2 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [19:06]: Filled a pump sprayer with 5 cups of distilled water. --- Focused mainly on the straw mulch of #4. --- But also misted the straw mulch for the rest of the plants a bit. - [19:12]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water. - [19:44]: Going to be using Clonex rooting gel before planting the cuttings into Coco Coins (pre-soaked with microbes and aloe). But before that begins, going to transfer the Clonex gel into a squeeze bottle. --- Gently peeled back the seal on the original Clonex bottle. Just enough make a tiny opening, --- Then slowly and carefully poured the gel into an empty squeeze bottle. --- Also removed the sticker from the original bottle and placed it onto the new one. - [19:54]: Perfect! --- Instead of applying the gel to the cutting, going to be applying the gel to the Coco Coin. --- This squeeze bottle will make applying the gel a lot easier. --- Will take PPFD readings tomorrow. --- Also will change out the aloe solution to distilled water. --- I really hope I didn’t screw things up before they could even begin. --- Don’t die on me ladies! --- Please. Day 03 - Wednesday - 06/05/24 - Total Days: 100 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 81.9°F [27.7°C] - Humidity: 75.5% - VPD: 0.90 kPa - Soil %: [29, 36, 38, 36] ----------------------------------- - [09:40]: Quick morning check! --- #1 is looking a bit droopy, but looking okay. Topping is a high stress technique so going to take some time to recover. Don’t plan on flipping the main 4x4 tent to flower for a good week or so which should be enough time. --- #4 looks great! The defoliation seems to have no effect on growth. Nice! - [09:41]: Also quickly checked on the 3x3 veg tent, --- Nice! The cuttings are looking great! --- No yellowing and they all seemed to have turned up towards the light. --- So far so good! - [22:53]: Evening check. --- #1 is continuing to dominate this grow! She has spread wide and looking incredible! --- #2 is looking gnarly, but getting there. --- #3 is getting larger! But still a runt. By far, her leaves are the darkest of the bunch, but she is still growing! --- #4 looks happy and growing along beautifully! Wow! - [22:55]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! - [22:59]: Poured 5 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 2 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [23:05]: Checked on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! The cuttings are still green! Nice! - [23:07]: Took PPFD readings. --- The cuttings were around 121 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 7.84 mol/m²/d --- Nice! These levels are on the lower range for seedlings (~100-300), perfect! I think. - [23:14]: Swapped the aloe water out to straight distilled water. --- Going to let these cuttings soak for one more day before planting. --- Please don’t die girls! - [23:15]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water. --- Ooo yea! --- Tomorrow is the big rooting day! Day 04 - Thursday - 06/06/24 - Total Days: 101 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 81.9°F [27.7°C] - Humidity: 75.2% - VPD: 0.91 kPa - Soil %: [32, 38, 38, 34] ----------------------------------- - [16:20]: Evening check. --- #1 is a bit droopy, but growth is looking green and healthy. --- #2 is looking bigger! She’s also looking sort of droopy. --- #3 is growing along nicely! Looking good girl! --- #4 is looking great! A bit droopy but plan to water today. - [16:23]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- EB1's reservoir still has some water. --- EB2's reservoir was completely dry! - [16:23]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 28% - [CH01 EB1 - Garlic Budder #1] --- 36% - [CH02 EB2 - Garlic Budder #2] --- 37% - [CH03 GFP - Garlic Budder #3] --- 30% - [CH04 FPT - Garlic Budder #4] - [16:30]: Using a pump sprayer, --- Misted the straw mulch of #4 with 6 cups of distilled water. --- Focused mainly on the straw mulch. --- Also misted the straw mulch of #3 (in the grassroots fabric pot) a bit. - [16:43]: Poured 5 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 3 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [16:52]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 56% - [CH01 EB1 - Garlic Budder #1] --- 44% - [CH02 EB2 - Garlic Budder #2] --- 40% - [CH03 GFP - Garlic Budder #3] --- 45% - [CH04 FPT - Garlic Budder #4] - [17:01]: Took general PPFD readings. --- #1 was around 379 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 24.56 mol/m²/d --- #2 was around 333 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 21.58 mol/m²/d --- #3 was around 293 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 18.99 mol/m²/d --- #4 was around 378 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 24.49 mol/m²/d - [17:09]: Took the weekly height and light distance measurements. --- #1 was about 21" tall. --- #2 was about 13.5" tall. --- #3 was about 9.5" tall. --- #4 was about 19.25" tall. --- Hmm.. - [17:19]: Adjusted the right oscillating fan a bit. --- Re-angled the CloudRay S6 oscillating fan upwards. Been noticing that the air has been hitting the tops of the plants so easing off a bit (#1 is still getting hit, but she’s huge so not too worried). - [17:23]: Back to the measurements! --- #1 was about 9.5" away from the grow light. --- #2 was about 17" away from the grow light. --- #3 was about 17.5" away from the grow light. --- #4 was about 11.5" away from the grow light. - [17:46]: Checked on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Cuttings are still green! They do look a bit droopy but no signs of yellowing. --- Okay! - [17:55]: Time to begin the rooting process! --- For my first attempt at rooting, going to be using Coco Coins pre-soaked in saponins, microbes and aloe. --- To further help with rooting, going to also be using Clonex rooting gel. --- Filled a measuring cup with 4 cups of distilled water. ------ Added half of 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] ------ Added 1/16tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1/8tsp of Mycrobe Complete --- Mixed the solution thoroughly. --- Time for the Coco Coins! --- 10 cuttings means 10 Coco Coins. - [18:09]: Dropped 10 Coco Coins into the measuring cup. --- The coins immediately started to expand. --- A bit too much.. Oops! --- Poured the solution and Coco Coins into a pitcher. --- Added 2 cups of distilled water to the solution (now at 6 cups). --- Great! The coins are pretty much fully expanded, but going to wait a bit longer to fully saturate each coin. --- [~20-30 minutes later] - [18:42]: Great! --- Took the seedling and flood tray from the AC Infinity propagation dome and placed all 10 Coco Coins into the slots. --- Gave each Coco Coin a quick shake to remove excess solution. The coins were not dripping with solution but still pretty saturated. --- Arranged them into 3 groups with the cuttings in mind. --- Also tried to keep the pre-made holes intact. --- Time to inoculate the Coco Coins! - [18:54]: Using a squeeze bottle, --- While keeping the nozzle from making contact with the coco, gently filled each pre-made hole with Clonex rooting gel. Just enough gel to fully cover the hole of each coco coin. - [19:00]: Time to plant the cuttings! --- Gave each cup a misting of distilled water. Focused on wetting the top growth with water. --- Okay! --- To avoid mixing cuttings up. - [19:01]: Starting with the original #2 pheno cup, --- For each cutting, --- Using a pair of clean trimmers, made a final 45° cut about 1/2" from a bottom node. --- Then stripped away and scared the protective membrane below the node before planting. --- Made sure the node was about 1/2" below the surface of the coco. --- To help with planting, while inserting each cutting, gave the Coco Coin a gentle squeeze to loosen the coco. This also helped to ensure the coco and gel was in good contact with the cutting. --- Once the cutting was planted into the Coco Coin, made sure to place back in the same spot (made sure to keep the cuttings in their groupings). --- Once a cup was complete, made sure to keep the label with the group. --- Re-misted the top growth as needed to keep it wet. --- Also wiped the trimmers with isopropyl alcohol in between cuttings (plan to use 10% bleach solution for next time). --- Repeated this process until all 10 cuttings were cut, planted, and in the tray. --- The coco coins fit perfectly into the tray and don’t reach the bottom. Nice! --- The bottom air gap is important. --- Poured a bit of distilled water through one of the empty slots into the bottom of the tray. Just enough to fill the bottom of the tray, but not enough to reach any of the Coco Coins (~1/4cup). - [19:35]: Placed the propagation tray with cuttings into the 3x3 veg tent. --- Placed the first layer of the propagation dome on before giving the sides a misting of distilled water. --- Also sprayed the top of the propagation dome before covering the cuttings. --- Vents are all fully closed. - [19:40]: Placed the bar lights onto the top of the dome before configuring the controller. ------ Set the START/END times to 04:00PM/10:00AM ------ Set the bar light’s intensity to 2 (out of 10). --- Also made sure the propagation light controller’s time was in sync with the Controller 69 Pro. - [19:47]: Took PPFD readings. --- The cuttings were around 136 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 8.81 mol/m²/d --- The PPFD levels are similar to the floor. --- Perfect! --- Going leave the IonBoard S33 on during this rooting process. --- Will check back tomorrow to cycle the air under the dome. - [19:56]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water. - [20:17]: Quick night check! --- Ooo yea! Growth is raging and looking perky! --- Mainly checked on #1 and #4 which were looking incredible! --- Keep on growing ladies! Day 05 - Friday - 06/07/24 - Total Days: 102 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 82.7°F [28.2°C] - Humidity: 76.2% - VPD: 0.89 kPa - Soil %: [37, 40, 38, 35] ----------------------------------- - [10:03]: Decided to increase the ambient temp in the 3x3 veg tent. --- Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Veg Tent [3x3] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the heater. ------ Increased the Temp target value from 78°F to 82°F --- Hopefully this will help to keep the veg tent at a more consistent temp. - [22:26]: Evening check. --- Ooo yea! The garden is looking incredible! --- #1 is looking perky and just bushing out! Wow! --- #2 is getting big! Growth is weird and leaf fingers are huge! Just going to let her grow. --- #4 is looking happy and growing along like a champ! Nodes are starting branch out and she is turning into a bush! - [10:28]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! - [22:33]: Poured 5 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 3 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [22:40]: Checked on the propagation dome (inside the 3x3). --- Ah yea! Looking great ladies! --- Lifted the top of the dome to let some fresh air in for a bit. --- Wow! --- Leaves still look nice and green! --- So far everything looks great! --- Just going to continue on! - [22:53]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water. - [11:01]: Decided to adjust the humidifier for the 3x3. --- Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Veg Tent [3x3] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the humidifier. ------ Increased the VPD target value from 0.8kPa to 1.5kPa --- The higher VPD level will essentially turn the humidifier off. --- I won’t be needing the humidifier for a good week so might as well save the water. Day 06 - Saturday - 06/08/24 - Total Days: 103 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 81.6°F [27.6°C] - Humidity: 74.9% - VPD: 0.91 kPa - Soil %: [35, 40, 37, 31] ----------------------------------- - [07:40]: Quick morning check! --- #1 and #4 are looking perky and happy! --- Also checked on the propagation dome, --- All cutting still look green! Hyped! - [20:02]: Evening check. --- Wow the garden is raging with growth! --- #1 has blown up! She has clearly recovered and growth is ramping up again! --- #2 is stretching upwards! --- #3 is now the smallest of the 4, but still getting larger! --- #4 is looking incredible! Wow! Growth looks perky and happy! - [20:05]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! - [20:10]: Poured 6 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 2 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [20:16]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 35% - [CH01 EB1 - Garlic Budder #1] --- 40% - [CH02 EB2 - Garlic Budder #2] --- 36% - [CH03 GFP - Garlic Budder #3] --- 27% - [CH04 FPT - Garlic Budder #4] - [20:19]: Using a pump sprayer, --- Misted the straw mulch of #4 with 5 cups of distilled water. --- Focused mainly on the straw mulch. --- Also misted the mulch of #3 a bit (in the fabric pot). - [20:27]: Checked propagation dome (in the 3x3), --- To cycle the air under the dome, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Ooo yea! Everything is still green and looking great! --- Keep on rooting ladies! --- Oops! - [21:45]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water. Day 07 - Sunday - 06/09/24 - Total Days: 104 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 81.5°F [27.5°C] - Humidity: 74.8% - VPD: 0.91 kPa - Soil %: [36, 40, 37, 36] ----------------------------------- - [08:18]: Quick morning check! --- Nice! The main tent is looking great! #1 and #4 are both raging with growth! --- Checked on the propagation dome (inside the 3x3) and the clones are still looking green! --- Wow! Everything is going almost too well! Just keep on growing! - [19:08]: Evening check. --- Garden is just exploding with growth! Seems everyone has fully recovered from the defoliation and topping! --- Wow #1 is bushed out and looking incredible! --- #2 is growing really starting to get large! Growth still is funky, but stoked none-the-less. --- #3 is starting to fill in the pot! Getting larger! --- Wow! #4 is getting taller and looks healthy and green! - [19:12]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! --- Wow the canopy is really starting to get taller and closer to the light. May need to raise it up soon. --- Absolutely surprised how low the light levels have been throughout this entire cycle. Barely moved the light and have not increased the intensity past 2 (out of 10). Less is really more. --- Anyways! - [19:18]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 36% - [CH01 EB1 - Garlic Budder #1] --- 41% - [CH02 EB2 - Garlic Budder #2] --- 37% - [CH03 GFP - Garlic Budder #3] --- 34% - [CH04 FPT - Garlic Budder #4] - [19:19]: Poured 6 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 3 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [19:24]: Checked propagation dome (in the 3x3), --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Sweet! Still green! Wow! --- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with distilled water. - [20:35]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water. --- Wow what a week! --- Growth has been just insane in the 4x4 tent! All plants have fully recovered and have just exploded with growth. --- I think it’s time to flip to flower! --- Also, I’m absolutely baffled about how well the cloning process has been going. --- So far no issues! --- Not complaining, but just surprised. Keep on growing ladies! --- If all goes well, should have fully rooted clones soon ready for transplanting (into solo cups of course). --- Absolutely hyped for next week! --- Maximum warp Ensign, Engage!

So this week I defoliated a bit more, now you can clearly see that they look better and there's more light going through especially in the middle of each plant. I had a little deficiency of K with one plant of Blue widow but I started to give the right amount of BioFlores after the transition from Veg. phase. The Blue widow ones are apparently going faster than Royal medic, (Royal medic plants are in the front on the sides, only 2 out of 5 plants). Overall I experiencing the variations' genes of each seed and I can clearly see that some plants go well than others and the importance of a "Mother plant" for consistency but unfortunately I cannot afford, right now, another grow room for this scope. Happy growing fellas! and grow your own!

Letzte Woche vor der Ernte. Es wird sehr bunt, leider etwas zu bunt.. die Fäulnis hat Opfer gefordert. Aber das war natürlich absehbar aufgrund von Struktur der Blüten, geografische Lage, Jahreszeit, Wetterverhältnisse usw. Gekeimt am 10.06.24 geerntet am 16.10.24 In Betracht aller Gegebenheiten und Faktoren bin ich mit dem grow relativ zufrieden. Ein sehr schöner Strain, ich freue mich drauf ihn nochmal Indoor zu grown. Zum Glück habe ich Stecklinge geschnitten. 💚

WEEK 11 (Day 71-77) I harvested all my Dos-si-dos on Day 73. The plants remained very small and compact, which was partly intentional. The pot volume was set quite low, which I wasn't entirely happy with. Splitting the pots also turned out to be less practical, as the plants ended up too close together. Despite that, the harvest turned out quite respectable. Visually, I really like it the dark tone and the many trichomes make for a fantastic look. The aroma is also quite special. First and foremost, I find it has a strong, sweet note in its scent. As for the cultivation, the Dos-si-dos were very easy to care for and handled all training exceptionally well. Due to the short distance between the shoots, I might even recommend LST or just a single, simple topping. I fertilized almost exclusively organically, except that I added a bit of Plagron Green Sensation during the flowering phase. I continuously defoliated well to ensure good air circulation, which worked quite well. In the last two weeks, I kept the lights on for 24 hours straight to avoid fluctuations in temperature and humidity. By the end, I settled at a DLI of around 60—it was a bit more than desired but still worked fine. In the last week, I only watered with plain water and dimmed the lights a bit. Some of the tips developed a purplish hue. The buds appear very firm and voluminous, sparkling thanks to the dense, white layer of trichomes. I would absolutely grow this strain again since it has a truly great and robust growth pattern, though next time, I would choose larger pots. I'm now drying my harvest at around 60% RH and 21°C until the smaller stems become brittle, then I'll store them in my hygrometer jars for curing. I'm satisfied with the yield as well. Based on my calculations, I reached about 400g/m². A good result for such small bonsai-like plants. For small grow spaces, this strain is really perfect. I've never grown such small yet productive plants before, and I found it to be a great change of pace. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the support—it was, as always, an honor.

Cant take my eyes off my plant. This is my second round of growing and I am the type of person who learns through failure (not gonna upload the pics of the first round plants lol). The buds are thickening up very nicely. Hoping to get between 3-4oz , the strain is high yielding but I have a smaller tent. My auto yielded 2oz with the same space (2 plants in one tent splitting the space), but the buds definitely didn't develop as well as these buds.

June 23, 2024 This week we focus on watering. There really isn't much else to do. The plants are all stacking buds and getting fat. I cleaned out all the reservoirs out and started a fresh dose of nutrients. Sour Diesel A is definitely light. I really don't understand this plant. She's thirsty, drinking just as much as the rest of not a little bit more than B. I may have to top feed her tomorrow with a half gallon of recharge. Other than that, her buds are looking pretty good and super frosty. Sour Diesel B looks like she has about 2 weeks left to go. Her pistils are almost all orange on the top while the lowers are still white. I checked the trichomes just for giggles and of course it's not done yet, but sooner than the rest of the plants. Sour Diesel C had some what looks like light burn without any other signs. A friend of mine suggested it could be some sort of fungus. I sprayed her down with some Defender 4. Her buds are STACKED. She has super long colas compared to the overall size of her. Sour Diesel D is drinking the most and was completely bone dry this morning. However, she's not light. So a cleaning and refill. We will just let her do her thing. Huge main cola. Everything else is smaller. The lights aren't changing. So I have a feeling that these plants ended up small like they are due to the limited space they had during Veg. Being autoflowers, they really didn't have room to stretch out. My next run will be much better. I won't be working with 6 plants in one tent. All this has to do with the lighting also. They just didn't get enough of what they needed at first, so smaller plants I get. The environment looks alright. The AC kicked on early today and the humidity in the tent dropped down to 54%. The temp is at 75°. Near perfect temp. The heat wave is gone now, so I should be able to control the humidity more with the AC kicking on earlier. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 58.3% VPD: 1.22 kPa June 24, 2024 Not much going on today. I forgot to check Sour Diesel A for her weight. I'll check later today. However, she should be fine. No watering today nor pics. Sour Diesel A looks really good. Tons of frost and her buds are swelling up nicely. Sour Diesel B looks really good. I'm sending daily pics of the trichomes to a friend so we can figure out about when she will be ready for harvest. I'm thinking 2 weeks. He thinks more. But neither of us can tell. He's not here, so he can't see what I see, and I always get hung up around now. Sour Diesel C seems to have some sort of issue. I'm not really sure what, but the leaves are slightly droopy and I keep getting these small burn dots on a leaf or two. As I said yesterday, it could be a fungus. I'll spray her down again with Defender 4 tomorrow. Sour Diesel D has this super fat main cola. Instead of stretching up and stacking up, she has stayed short and I'm her buds are stacking outward. The main top has 3 buds that make up the tip. Very cool. She's gonna be a small yield, but one massive cola. Can't complain about that. The lighting is, as always, the same. No changes whatsoever ever. The supplemental lighting is doing something? I don't really know. I really want to install them horizontally. I just feel it will have much better coverage vs the vertical position they are currently in. I might do that tomorrow when the plants are out of the tent. The environment is still not good. 62% humidity and 78°. I need to get that temp down. And of course the humidity needs to calm down as well. It should be fine by this afternoon. Or like yesterday, late morning. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 59.1% VPD: 1.17 kPa June 25, 2024 Picture Day! Not a lot to do today. Water is fine. Nothing really else. Sour Diesel A is super frosty with nice bud production. She is pretty well stacked and has bud throughout the plant. Let's watch her swell up and start folding over on itself. Surprisingly, she retained some of the weight from that top feeding next week. I'll keep a close eye on the weight and moisture level. Sour Diesel B is just as frosty as A, but has significantly larger buds. I'm hoping it's a sign for what's to come with the other plants. Sour Diesel C is super stacked. She's starting to swell nicely and her frost is amazing. She is also super potent. It's wonderful. Sour Diesel D needed a couple leaves cut off. Her main cola is absolutely massive. She smells great and she is swelling quite nicely. Lighting is the same. I'm not seeing any issues whatsoever with the supplemental lights and the main light. No light burn. Lots of frost. It just shows we are on the right track. Yesterday z the AC kicked on super early. The humidity was down to 52% for most of the day. I'm hoping it happens today as well. Currently the humidity is around 60%. The temp is a bit high at 77°, but the AC will knock that right down. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.9° RH: 58.1% VPD: 1.21 kPa June 26, 2024 Not much going on today. No watering no pics, just the daily and a quick update for the plants. Btw, the scent is getting overwhelming. What a nice smell. Sour Diesel A looks great! She has bright orange pistils that have already curled up into the buds. Not on the bottoms though. But there is still a good 3 weeks left to go. Buds are still swelling pretty well. Sour Diesel B is super frosty and super fat. She may be the smallest in the group, but her buds are huge. Her pistils are orange up top and still white on bottom. Even the orange ones are still sticking straight up. I think she has another 2.5 weeks left, but I'm not so sure anymore. She is showing signs of finishing up, but then she also has signs she isn't even ose to being done. We shall see. Sour Diesel C is looking absolutely beautiful. Being the largest of the group, I have high expectations and I don't think I'll be disappointed. She has stacks galore. Tons of frost and swelling buds. From what I understand about the Sour Diesel strain is that it has elongated buds, so the cola may look skinny and tall. I guess we will find out soon enough. Sour Diesel D is less disappointing now that I took a feel of the main cola. Solid. Super solid. And she's definitely nowhere near finished up. It's still kind of early for her so she has plenty of time to swell up like a foot ball. Lighting is the same. Honestly, I don't know why I still report on it, but it is one of the most important things in the grow space. Anyway, it's the same. Still not seeing any signs of stress from any of the plants. I forgot to install the support bars yesterday, so I'll try to remember to install them tomorrow and move the supplemental lights horizontally. The environment I can say is looking much better. The humidity is high in the morning, but then it drops down to around 52% for the rest of the day. The temp is back under control, so we are sitting happily at 75°. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.9° RH: 59.0% VPD: 1.18 kPa June 27, 2024 Picture Day! A bit to do today. Watering Day as well. Sour Diesel A got a half gallon top feed with Recharge today. I also topped off her reservoir which was only about 3/4 empty. The rest went into the top with the half gallon. She was really light and not drinking. She seems to have a lot of dry pockets and it took a bit to get them moist again. It worked. I had a bit of runoff from the dry pockets, but it's fine now. Sour Diesel B looks great. Huge fat buds all over. She didn't need a top feeding as she is drinking just the right amount. Sour Diesel C is looking great. Her buds are elongated like the classic Sour Diesel. And they are fattening up even more. I can't wait to see the end result. Sour Diesel D has a massive cola that takes up about a quarter of her main stem. The side branches also have nice big nugs on them. Looking forward to the outcome. The aroma coming from these ladies is strong and pungent. Sour and gassy loving this run so far. The lights are all the same. I forgot again to install the support bars. I'll try to remember next time I pull the plants out again. The environment is back to 60% this morning, but the temp is fine. A little high, but in range. It will all even out later today. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.0° RH: 58.2% VPD: 1.21 kPa June 28,2024 Nothing going on today. My phone screen died and I can't get the one picture off it from this morning. no watering today. Sour Diesel A looks great, but her buds aren't as big as they should be by now. She's still super frosty and an all around happy plant. Sour Diesel B looks wonderful with her fat buds all over. Her aroma is super strong. Her branches are really stiff as well. Of the 4, she seems to be the most promising for yield. but she is also the shortest of the 4. we shall see how things go with her. Sour Diesel C also has small buds for her age. I'm really not sure what happened here, but this is the second time in a row. It happened with my Tropicana Cookies as well. but that was because of incorrect nutrients, I think. Maybe. Now that it happened again and I didn't mess up the nutrients, it has to be something else. The lighting shouldn't be a problem either. I have that dialed in. The only issue I have run into that's the same with both runs is the environment. The humidity has been really high throughout the flowering stage and could be the issue. However, lately it has been dropping down to a reasonable level, but that's not until the afternoon. Sour Diesel D is just a stick with a huge cola on it. She only has 6 side branches, but they have big colas as well. however, one issue is how leafy she is. Her main cola has extremely deep leaves into the cola itself. trimming may be a bit of a pain, but that cola should be worth the effort. Lighting hasn't changed and won't change until the last week of flower... if I change it at all. The environment is its now normal high humidity in the mornings and lower humidity in the afternoon. I hope it's fine in the long run. only a few more weeks left and we are done. Let's hope we don't end poorly. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75* RH: 59% VPD: 1.21 kPa June 29, 2024 Picture Day! Last day of the week. I'd like to reflect on things we have noticed this week. Small buds, lights are on point, environment is wrong in the morning and much better in the afternoon. Sour Diesel A has kept her weight for the most part from the top feeding. Her reservoir is also draining at a good pace. Her pistils are shriveling into the buds now, so it looks super pretty. Her frost made her look like she has light burn. It's not. Don't worry. Buds look super dense and are covering the branches all around. However, they are still smaller than they should be. Sour Diesel B looks really nice. Her pistils are not shriveling up yet. I can't wait to see that happen. Then we will be on the right track for some dank bud. Sour Diesel C is now the winner of most water intake for this round. She will definitely need another watering tomorrow and she hasn't lost any weight from the top feeding. Looking great. Small compact buds. The look really dense. I wish they were bigger, but on the plus side, they have a ton of frosty goodness on them. Buds from top to near bottom of the plant. Sour Diesel D is doing her thing. Swelling more and more. Packing on weight and getting ready for the end of flower. She hasn't had much to drink and is getting light. I'll keep an eye on her tomorrow and maybe top feed some of her reservoir. The lighting is still the same and won't change next week. I've also decided to just leave the light bars in their vertical position. Next run, I'll have the bars installed. The environment is a mess today. It's 84% outside and 75°. It's nasty out. And of course it's reflecting in the tent. High humidity, temp is fine though. But really high humidity. Close to 70% for now. Not good at all. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.3° RH: 57.6% VPD: 1.23 kPa

Cream Cookies was such a fun plant to grow. It germinated extremely fast, popping out of the peat pellet at ~3 days. It takes about two weeks from germination for the plant to really get its root system to the point that it can support explosive vegetative growth. Once you're at the explosive vegetative growth stage (Week 2-5) the plant absolutely shoots up and stretches to the moon. LST works wonders to expose lower bud sites and break symmetry of the plant. FIM can be used to stop main stalk vertical growth and transition the plant to build up its already present flowering nodes. At Week 5 preflowers become apparent. The plant then experiences a second stretch and subsequent explosive bud growth. From that point the plant doesn't grow vertically but instead horizontally. Curating its fan leaves and growing to be just an absolute beast. If your phenotype sticks around in veg for just a week longer, you'll see the plant just become a behemoth. Im still working on my technique but my goal for this grow was to triple my per plant yield compared to nay last grow and I did that! I had 1 plant going and the dry bud weight is 45gs. Im extremely happy because the buds are just beautiful. Im learning so much! Im hoping my third grow I can double my yield from this grow! My phone broke so ill update with photos of the buds when I can.
