Introduction - Week 20 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17572.0,
Ca-Caw!! Another great grow week in the garden!
Slightly increased the PPFD and evened out the canopy with a bit of super-cropping.
In the veg garden, mainly been tending to the clones and watering as needed. Topped both Heady OG clones along with both mother plants (Heady OG and TKO).
Been a pretty easy week in the garden and the both gardens are thriving with growth! Let’s go my ladies!
Onwards to next week!

--------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet]
- [19:48]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Wow growth is healthy and green.
--- Both Heady OG and TKO mothers are looking beautiful
--- The spare Heady OG clones need watering! Let’s go!
- [19:52]: Here are the starting initial watering ranges:
------ Heady OG BX1 #1A » 237.7g → 300.3g
------ Heady OG BX1 #1B » 244.4g → 305.6g
--------- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet]
--- Both cups were last watered 2 days ago.
--- Took the starting weight of both clones before watering,
------ Heady OG BX1 #1A » 225.5g
------ Heady OG BX1 #1B » 238.4g
--- While on a scale,
--- Gently misted the straw mulch of both cups with RO water.
--- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible.
--- Misted 10-20 sprays. Waited a moment, then misted again.

--- Marked the final wet weight on the back of each cup. Also marked the watering date on the front.
- [20:18]: Decided to also top both clones.
--- Using a pair of trimmers, cut the main stalk down to the bottom 2-3 nodes.
--- Mulched the trimmings.
--- Placed both phenos back into the tent and onto the veg pots.
--- Great! Since these clones will be vegging in solo cups for a while, trimming the top growth should reduce root bound stress.
--- Okay! The clones in the propagation tray look thirsty as well!

--- TKO terps are ripening up nicely and the earthy profile is more distinct. She definitely has similar Garlic Budder-like terps! Nice!
--- Ca-Caw!! Let’s go ladies!

- [09:34]: Decided to increase the PPFD a bit.
--- Within the AC Infinity App,
--- For the Main Tent [4x4] controller,
--- Adjusted the 'Flower [12/12]' Schedule for the grow light.
------ Increased the MAX intensity from 4 to 5
--- Plan to take PPFD readings later and will adjust the levels back if growth gets worse.
- [20:58]: Night check on the 4x4 tent.

--- Nice! The canopy looks nice and even!
--- Time to take the new PPFD readings and height checks!
--- Let’s go!
- [21:18]: Took the weekly general PPFD readings.
------ All phenos were around 864 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 37.32 mol/m²/d under a 12/12 light cycle (at ~390.1W).
--- Also starting to notice that the LEDs are not at the same intensity. Several sections of the grow light (Mars Hydro FC-6500) are dimmer and have a few broken ones. Most likely this is due to general wear and tear. Overall the light is still fine and don’t really plan to upgrade anytime soon.
--- Anyways!
- [21:23]: Took the weekly height and light distance measurements.
------ All phenos were about 47" tall.
------ Both Heady OG (BX1 #1) and TKO were about 7" away from the grow light.

- [19:39]: Checked the humidifiers.
--- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.
--- Another grow week done!
--- Need to still decide which clones to transplant.
--- Currently between the 4 phenos, plan to transplant Gorilla Goat #1 and the original Garlic Budder #2, but this may change.
--- The Gorilla Goat #1 (currently at ~5 month cure) is by far the loudest pheno of the lot and has a lemon chem gas profile when has made her a keeper!
--- The one I’m still deciding on are the Garlic Budder phenos (also at ~5 month cure). Both are unique in their own dank way. The #1 pheno has a smooth sweet ‘purple’ terpene profile with a hint of fuel while the #2 is more earthy and gassy.
--- Anyways!
--- Onwards to next week Ensign!

Plant is showing signs of possible nitrogen and phosphorus deficiency with brown curling leaves and purple tipped leaves, but not too worried about it seeing as there's only about a few weeks left of growth. Removing smaller fan leaves to uncover bud sites. Heavy smells of pine and berries 😁

Sour Jealousy Auto FastBuds 2025 Outside Grow
Week 3 April 20-26 Veg
This week was mostly sunny in the mid-eighties and low 60s at night with an occasional drop into the low 50s. I added kelp fertilizer to the water twice during the week. She is about 3 inches tall. I have had her under a dome for these past two weeks. This week, after heavy rain, I removed it for good since the leaves were touching the sides. Hopefully no renegade squirrels trample her.
Pics taken 4/21 & 24

6/15. Glad I listened to my intuition and held off watering. IT Rained andctheb again last night. Plants seem to be doingvreal well. Slight burn on lower leaves where it was before from being in the garage and I found on spot that LOOKED like it could've been caused by a pillar but it's right on a burn. I sefoliated one leaf. This is minor stuff. Next watering I'll be adding silica. I'm not giving nutes until the plants tell the need them. The 3 gallon ones may receive nutes first as they'll run out. I'll update as I progress.
Went back over at 8:30. It's just overcast with showers. Plants seemed to like it. They all look good. Noticed a chunk out of a leaf and a POSSIBLE pillar spot. I'm going to have to get the BT out and and give the girls an application. I'm waiting until they settle in a bit more though. I need to start LST as well AND the light dep. Unfortunately "life" has made things difficult. I'll get back over there today though and I'll start the light dep. Kinda makes me wonder though. The 1pth planet I wanted to light deo is tge same size as the others in the much bigger containers. The thought came that maybe I should just hold on to them as extras in case something happens. I also am going to start silica next watering but it will be a few weeks before any nutes are given.
UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER AT FIVE AND TOOK ACSHOT TON OF PICTURES. IM TRYING TO UOLOAD NOW. THINGS ARE POPPING OFF AND IM GETTING A NICE SWEET SKUNKY ODOR. WHILE I WASCTHERE WE GOT A QUICK SHOWER. DIDNT LAST MORE THAN TEN MINUTES BUT IT RAINED HARD. I FOUND A TEMPORARY SPOT TO LIGHT DEP THE TWO PURPLE PUNCH AND THE ONE TENTH PLANET. I DONT SEE ANY LIGHT LEALS AND ITS SURE AS HELL DARKER THAN IT IS AT NIGHT. I'LL SEE HOW IT GOES LEQVING THE COVER ON ALL NIGHT. IF IT DOESNT WORK I MAY JEED TO ADD A FAN OR CHANCECTHE SPACE. I ALMOST DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS AS THE 10TH PLANET IS KEEPING PACE WITH ITS SISTERS, DESPITE THE SMALLER POT. OH WELL I WANT TO GIVE IT A SHOT AND I DONT WANT MY CAGE OVER CROWDED. I'M LOOKONG TO DO A 6:30 TO 6:30 SCHEDULE.
6/16 First night of light dep for the three little ones. I won't be able to call them that soon. I'm currently trying to upload a video. My grow buddy mentioned the droopiness of a couple of my plants in this video and how I hadn't been watering. This kinda scared me so I ran over and checked the too few inches on the two that had a little droop and came out dry. I had some water already phed ready to go (I'm hoping that the ph doesn't change if it's stored a day or two) and used the gallon to moisten the dry topsoil. Looking back over my diary we have had nothing but rain. I then tried the "lift the pot method" and came to the conclusion that these bags were indeed still holding moisture. I assumed they would be considering the thunderstorms we've had. I held off on fullt watering because the weather said the next dry day is going to be Monday. Today is Friday so thats two solid days of rain. Three if you count today through the night. I concentrated my watering of the one gallon on the couple plants that appeared to droop. If it doesn't rain like they say it will I will need to water. I need to set up a decent watering schedule but I need it to hold off raining long enough to do so.
UPDATE: I WENT BACK OVER AND PUT THE 3 GALS IN FOR BED AND CHECKED OUT THE REST OF THE GARDEN. I WATERED THE 3 GAL GIRLS A LITTLE MORE SINCE THEY WONT BE OUTSIDE. THE BIT OF WATER I GAVE SEEMED TO HELP LIFT SOME OF THE GIRLS. AT LEAST I THINK IT DID. THE RAIN SHOULDVE COME ALREADY. I WOULDVE WATERED MORE HAD THE BAGS NOT BEEN SO HEAVY.
6/17 Rained all night which is good. Brought the three transplants out but left them under the overhang so they. Dont get soaked. So far light depoing is going good. Well its only been two nights but we'll see. I'll update as I go. Not feeling well today. Went back over and checked on the plants and did a video. Probably won't get uploaded until tomorrow. I'm giving it a shot. It's raining in good shape. Plants looked fine when I was there. I need to get my supports and my trellis in place. Video won't upload. No suprise. I'll get it tomorrow.
6/18 Uploaded videos if they fuck up from me editing I'm gonna be pissed. Anyway it's still pouring with high winds. I added a couple supports where it looked like it needed it. I need to put my trellis up. I've been able to keep up with the light dep and those plants haven't been used and abused. They stay in the building facing the sun when the weather is this bad. I think they're looking great. I may start a new diary just for them. Sun came out around four. Trying to upload a couple videos but doesn't look like it's going to happen. Tucked the three little ones in at six. It had stopped raining and the wind died down some. If adverse conditions create good plants then I'm on the way to a great harvest. Minor bleaching and burns on a few lower fan leaves and some wrinkling on some from wind burn other than that plants seem to be acclimated. Did a video but will have to wait until tomorrow to upload
6/19 It's not raining! We got four inches this past storm lol. Having the bags raised on pollens I believe has greatly helped. As did the high winds that help dry the soil in the bag. Had to add a few temporary supports. Light dep is going good. Adjusted amd found a better spot. I'm considering getting "pool noodles" or some other thing like a Hulu hoops or pvc pipe and making either a frame on the roof for the entire cage or on top of each individual plants posts so I could roll clear plastic over it when it rains. I'm thinking about later on in the fall when this could really help. I found a roll of plastic. Also thought about putting that up on the back wall but I didn't. What I'm doing right now is working. I just need to keep up with it. I also need a solid watering schedule to stick too. It's hard when each plants needs are different. Oh well. I'm just happy to be growing again. I pray to the cannabis gods and the Lord above himself that I'm not plagued with the problems of last year.
6/20. I'm sick as fuck but I got the little girls out in the sun. Light dep is going good. Plants look great. I'll update when I feel better and if I do anything. Still feel like shit. Luckily I looked up just in time to get to the grow and put the little ones to bed. They were thirsty (especially the bushy 10th planet so I gave them about 3/4 of a gallon of water. Got lots of run off from 10th planet. Didn't notice as much from the others but I was hurrying. I'll upload later. Still sick.
6/21 Plants seem to be doing great. I removed some lower growth on a few just to see how they respond. I'm going to do some defoliation down low and I want to see how the plants respond. I'm planning my first full watering Thursday as we have a real good stretch of weather after that. Grow bags are still heavy as hell so they have sufficient water. I'll be adding silica nextcl watering. Not time for nutes but I think it would be okay to start the silica and in another week I might start small doses of nutes. The light dep on the little girls is go8ng great! It's cool I'll get to sample some of these strains before fall. I'll update after I do something. Tucked the girls in at 6. I might need to think about transplanting that 10th planet in the 3 gallon. I watered until runoff yesterday and it's light as hell today. Plus I fimked it and it's bushy as hell. I've Bern turning it si it gets all angles of the sun. I have a bag of 707 left and a 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled all over it like an air pot and a ten gallon grow bag. This will take some thought. Hot af today. I wad able to lift the grow bags so I decided tomorrow will be the girls first real watering. I think I'll be adding silica and possibly kelp me kelp you due to the heat stress I've been noticing. Nothing bad just a few tacoed leaves. I've had several people that have seen my grow in person tell me that this is by far the healthiest (not biggest I've had bigger) but by farcthe healthies5 crop I've grown. They believe I'll have my best year ever this year. I hope they are right. Vid won't be uploaded until tomorrow.
6/22 WATERED TODAY. I'm still a little gun shy with watering. That fusarium last year pretty much traumatized me. I left the container plants alone. I gave them a little water but not enough to do much. I used a pump sprayer on a mist setting and went one by one and back around gently watering the entire medium. This took forever and I'll be finding a different way to water. I hope this was enough water. I'll check later on and if they look like they want more I give it to them. I started LST on the light dep 10th planet and tucked some branches of a another under the tomato cage. I had missed that earlier. I also went around and cleaned up the bottoms on most. Getting rid of things that will amount to nothing. I noticed what looked like thrip damage on ONE leaf on ONE plant. I also saw a chunk missing from a grasshopper bite and a finger of a fan leaf petiol was broken so I'm going to need to get my ipm up and running. I'm unsure whether I'll be using chemicals or predators. Probably BT and spinosad. That's what I've had the best luck with. I also noticed bottom leaves dying off on the bottom of a couple plants. It was where the burns were though so I'm almost 100% its just related to the light burns they got when i first put them up. I'll be updating the diary as I do more stuff.

Happy day to all of you, Weed friends.
And welcome to a new week in the Gardens of Queen Peaky.
We have begun to insert a little bit of "Calmag" to support the fertilision program
The apical top of the plant behind is stretching too much ... I wouldn't want to have a burning from LEDs ... but now they have invaded every millimeter

It's bizarre how tall one of the four plants is getting. The other three are short - about 60 cm but the one is a good 30 cm taller. Fewer buds too. The entire plant just looks like a different strain. If it is, then I hope it's feminized - I don't want to have everything go to seed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
==> Comments From Other "Living Soil/Super Soil" Growers Are Always Welcome <==
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
INTRODUCTION
I am very excited about this grow as it is the first time with a new setup. I have added a new light and am going to try a super soil grow for the first time. I have a Mephisto Genetics Double Grape between paper towels and waiting to sprout. The space is about 18 inches by 24 inches. The ceiling slopes down, so I don't have much room at the rear of the space. For medium I am using Fox Farms Happy Frog augmented with perlite. The bottom third contains 0.5 pounds autoflower blend of a "super soil" additive from Nature's Living Soil. (https://amzn.to/2PUHc6k) I am using three-gallon cloth pots. The light is a Horticulture Lighting Group 135W QB V2 R-Spec LED kit.
NUTRIENTS
Tap water pH’d to 6.5. pH lowered using 1.5 TBS unsulfured blackstrap molasses and apple cider vinegar. One-half TBS of vinegar lowered pH about 0.5 points.
The medium was very dry. Slowly watered to allow the moisture to be equal throughout the soil
ISSUES
My while I have yet to put the seed in the dirt, I am concerned about temperatures. They are currently running at about 86F. I would like to get it down to about 80F.
DAILY LOG
DAY -2: STARTED SEED
* Started seed in my traditional manner. Between paper towels soaked in 5% bleach solution, 0.25 tsp/0.5 Cup water. Temp 82F.
DAY -1: ACTION
*The smallest of tip has appeared. Will put in soil in a few hours.
Day 0: SEED PLANTED.
* Refrigerator filtered water. pH 6.5. 1 cup (250ml) added very carefully.
* Covered with humidity dome.
* Light from Soil: 32.5”
* Temperature: 82F
DAY 1: SPROUT
The sprouted seed has shown itself above the soil. A nice Christmas morning surprise. Now I can start counting the days.
* Watered with about 200ml of water at pH 6.5. Used apple cider vinegar to lower the tap water pH.
* I was pleased to find that my tap water does not contain chloramine. I was reading bad things about chloramine and "living soil." It can kill beneficial microorganisms. All I did was ask my water company and they replied saying "we found no mention of chloramine use in the system:" Just what I wanted to hear.
* After looking at other diaries using 250W LEDs, I moved my light down to 25 inches.
DAY 2: NO WATER FOR YOU
* No watering today. There is plenty of water in the soil and I want the roots to stretch and work.
* Working on increasing the humidity and getting more control over the temperature.
DAY 3: WATER PLANT, NOT POT. ADDED MYCORRHIZAE.
* Following the GrowWeedEasy watering suggestions for Kind Soil
* 500ml water at 6.5 pH, around the plant and not across the full 3-gallon bag.
* The fan gently moves the seedling to keep it strong.
* Had minor unexpected run-off. I hope to avoid that in the future.
* Added 1/8 tsp Great White Mycorrhizae dissolved in 100 ml of 50 ml water/50 ml molasses mix. Did not pH as it is such a small amount of solution compares to the watering earlier today.
DAY 4: NO WATER, NO PICTURE
* Nothing really new. So no reason for a picture.
* The soil is dry on top, but the bottom of the pot is still damp. So I will watch it, but I don't expect to water today.
* Adding a small intake fan has dropped the temps to about 82F, I think they can live with that.
* A humidifier arrives tomorrow and I think that will be my last step to improve the environment.
DAY 5: 500ml WATER, LOOKING GOOD
* The plant is looking good. The second set of true leaves has a bend, but nothing to worry about.
DAY 6: 500ml WATER. NEW HUMIDIFIER
* It wasn't really necessary to water today, but I did simply to stay on the schedule I am using.
* Given the lightness of the soil and the moving air, I don't anticipate any problems.
* Added a humidifier yesterday evening. It's bringing the humidity up, but I need to keep the space closed and I'm a bit concerned about having to provide it with distilled water frequently.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WEEK ONE IN REVIEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Watered with 750 ml pH's tap water. Watered slowly to avoid any runoff.
* The plant is looking very healthy. It looks as if the roots are really starting to work as the plant is darker green.
* Balancing temperature and humidity is tricky, but I think I will be able to get it stabilized with a bit more work.
* Target Relative Humidity: Seedlings - 65-70; Vegging - 40-70; Flowering - 40-50
==> Beginning Next Week I Will Only Post Twice A Week, Mid-week And End Of The Week. <==

Set up an evaporative cooler to act as an intake and to cool the temp through evaporation.
It I was able to get the average temperature down to an average of 77°.
Relative Humidity increased to an average of 55%.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Evaporative Cooler:
The evaporative cooler was way bigger than I thought and blowing all the air into the tent would be overkill and would throw off my ventilation given that I only have a 4inch exhaust fan blowing air out. So I had to rig an air duct onto the front to channel some, but not all, of the air coming from the evaporative cooler. I cut a hole in a plastic brownie box and zip tied right angle plate that I had leftover from an ikea furniture. Then I put velcro tape to easily attach and remove the air duct from the cooler for future maintentance and cleaning.
I left the room where my tent is closed one day and the humidity went up to 84% which also increased the temperature to 90° but I found that simply leaving the room door open gives the cooler enough air circulation in order to function properly and averaged out at 55% RH and 77° F.

Defoliated some ugly fan leaves that were shading a lot of lower buds.

Hi Growmies,
Here we are at week 11, and our botanical star continues to astound with her growth. The stretching phase has persisted throughout the week, each day adding a bit more to her stature. It's as if she's reaching for her personal best, and I'm here to cheer her on every step of the way. As the buds begin their own stretch along the colas, it's time to introduce Green Sensations into her diet. This should give her the extra boost she needs for this critical phase of development. Her thirst is growing, a sign of her expanding needs and vigorous metabolism. It's a balancing act to match her hydration requirements, but one that's deeply rewarding. I can't emphasize enough how smooth and stress-free this experience has been. There's a certain peace that comes with tending to a plant that asks so little yet gives so much. If the yield is anywhere near my usual harvests, I might seriously consider making a permanent switch to soil and the Plagron lineup. It's exciting to ponder the potential of a new cultivation method. This journey has been one of simplicity and satisfaction. The connection between grower and plant, the quiet anticipation of each new stage of growth – these are the moments that make it all worthwhile.
As always, a reminder for my fellow plant lovers: use the code ZAMMIGD2023 at Zamnesia's online store to get a 20% discount. Sharing is caring, especially in our tight-knit community.
Stay tuned for the next update. We're on this journey together, and I'm grateful for every step.

I harvested her 1 week before I did with her mom, and she is definetely stronger! Not as lemony as her mom, and I have no clue why, since they were fed just the same. The high is strong, but keeps me talkative and socializing...

We back with some buckets! Time to fire up the pumps and get this show on the road. Soaked this beautiful little gem of a bean in some water until it cracked then threw it into the bucket with 100% perlite. Started them on a low dose of maxigro on day 3. Doing these diy Dutch Bucket style as always. Going to be running 8 in house genetics strains on the system with constant 24 hour a day irrigation. Not much exciting going on yet, but with a little luck that may change pretty soon.
