Hey yall! Another week down. A lot has happened. To start, we up-potted from the red solos into my living soil blend that I have been working on for almost a year. It's so full on living creatures and beneficials. I used to have fungus gnats a lot when working with living soil, it's almost impossible to avoid. .. Then enters beneficials; we have black soldier Flys, persimillis predatory mites, definitely earth worms, most likely a mix of night crawlers. No more fungus gnats, I highly recommend using beneficial nematodes, cucumeris and persimillis predatory mites are excellent (swirski predatory mites are expensive). Just look at the Soil Food Web and identify what pest you have, then purchase their predators from a trusted insectary. Anyways I added another 200watt LED and spread out the plants in a 2' X 4' tent. It's extremely dry in my location and having the heat on makes the air even drier. So getting my VPD stable has been an immense challenge. Right now Also we need to be able to add VPD or at least GD needs a built in calculator to help folks with VPD, Vapor Pressure Deficite. As of right now I am sitting at 0.85 VPD, so pretty good for today. I have 4 humidifiers and have had to hang moistened towels on the doors of the room I am growing in. It literally has been a huge challenge to keep the humidity high enough for my VPD to be in range for the young plants I have now. Good thing is my current humidity without running any humidifiers is perfect for the flowering stage, so I can't wait to move this along. As for topping and training; like I said I really want to move these ladies into flowering sooner than later. I have several reasons to do limited training so I can limit my veg time, also getting this crop done as fast as possible is best for my set up. Until I can get a larger house 🏠 😩 because we got a baby on the way 👶 so need to make space. I have made compost tea twice this past week, wetting the soil and also spraying the leaves. My sprayer broke so I ended up pouring the tea on the plants gently, I got worm castings on the leaves lol. Gently rubbing that off once they dried. Also I applied the tea at night. My tea recipe: Reverse Osmosis water, 2 to 4 gallons I bubble that with added minerals for a day Add 2-3 cups of Activated worm castings (To activate the castings I added about 3 gallons of high quality castings with what I consider to be nutrient amendments, SO I add = kelp meal, neem cake, organic coconut flour, organic corn meal, organic wheat flour, and organic cold milled flax seeds and let that sit for a week then add about 2 to 3 cups of that mix to the tea) I also add biology from about a cup of 2 different soil mixes I have around my compost bin, just trying to get a more diverse biology by adding those two different soil sources. And mind you the grow beds I took the soil from has been organic for many years and has a large amount of beneficials and tons of excellent biology. Other than that I bubble that for 12 to 24 hours, with as much air as I can get. I use air stones but you really need to clean them off once you are done brewing. I also have an Air Lift with a large air pump that really works great, K.I.S. Organics sells one that works great or you can build one easily with with PVC pipe and a few adapters from any Home Depot or Lowes. Also I do add DynoMyco to my roots when up-potting. They are an amazing brand that has backed up research, I think they have more propagules per gram of two strains they identified to work great with cannabis. Now having said that, each individual phenotype out of each individual and specific strain/cultivar is going to have different bacteria/fungal strains that it prefers and by growing the same strain, hopefully the same exact cut, and grow 3 to 4 cycles before you truly have the mycelium networks built and fully functional. What I am saying is stop throwing out "used" soil and go over 7 gallons, bigger the better for biodiversity. Stop buying "new" soil, amend your previous beds and pots. You will see a huge difference. Hopefully I can show you all of this with my Grow. Anyways please feel free to ask away any questions! This grow is about saving money 💰 🤑 and growing the best clean medicine as possible.

Her aroma is suuper citric and strong, beautiful strain to grow and very strong purple color, she's not gonna produce too much but like every girl in my garden she's gonna give top quality purple buds,the flowers are very sticky and frosty, can't wait to try her, she's got the exact same aroma as her sisters. So will see how she ends up performing on this diary peace 🌱💚✌️

02/14/2026 So I noticed the growth slowed down a bit. I'm guessing it was the low ppm level. Not enough food. So I pumped the water out into another bucket and added more nutrients until it hit 450. I don't want to go any higher yet. Once flower hits, I'm switching to half dose. The thing is, she seems super healthy, if not a bit saggy on the bottom. Maybe that's a sign that she's hungry. Either way, I refilled the bucket with the new dose and we will see how she does. She may be a bit finicky, but I think I got it down. 600 ppm after the flowering stretch. So far she looks great! Good color, no weird issues. Very happy with this plant. The environment is fine today. No issues with the equipment anymore for days. I'll have to keep an eye on her with the new mix to make sure she isn't going toxic. I don't think she will, but you never know. Readings: pH: 5.8 EC: 960 cm TDS: 450 ppm Temp: 67° 02/15/2026 Not much to report today. I'm not seeing much in vigor anymore. If it was only a few days, I'm gonna be really pissed off. There's no reason this plant shouldn't be taking off now. I don't get it. Anyway, the plant itself still looks super healthy. Nice big green leaves. Roots look good too if not a little brown here and there. I checked it's not rot. No clue what it is, but it's very watery. Not slimy and doesn't smell. I think it's just stains. The environment is fine as well. Ranging from 72° to 77° and generally hanging out around 75° just like I have set. The humidity is doing roughly the same thing. Between 52% and 60% while it tends to rest mostly at 55%. Right where I want it. So I'm thinking I'll need to top off every other day at the rate she's drinking. It'll probably end up being everyday when she gets into flower. Update: I raised the light up to 22" and increased the light power up to 60% the DLI is 40 mol. 02/16/2026 Readings: pH: 5.75 EC: 726 TDS: 362 Temp: 67.7 She's looking really good today. No issues but the TDS is still really low. Not super low anymore, but like 362 ppm. I'm changing the water out in a few days. I'll be doing the bloom schedule from then on. She got big. Not tall yet. She's still growing. No buds in sight. Just a happy plant. She's a sativa dominant strain, so she should take a little longer. But I thought that was with Flowering. Oh well. I'm not complaining. If she needs an extra week or so to finish growing, by all means, please grow. The Blue Dream on the other hand has buds at the top already. She doesn't seem to be stretching, but it think it's because she's getting really bushy. Just like this lady here. The environment is looking really good now. Nothing to report. The roots are everywhere now. Mostly white with some brown here and there. Not sure exactly what it is, but it doesn't smell and it's not slimy. Must be stains. It also doesn't rub off like algae would. But they are huge. Nice root ball. I can't even pull the plant all the way out of the bucket anymore. With the size of the plant and the roots being very difficult to move gently, I'm stuck pumping out the water. And pumping it back in. Not that it's hard, but I don't have 2 buckets or I'd be able to pump in a new mix and not have to leave her without water for like 20 minutes while I add like 10 different nutrients. Maybe I'll buy a second bucket. Anyway, that's all for today. 02/17/2026 Not much to report today. She is bigger than yesterday. Slight upward growth, but more outward growth. Bigger leaves and the branches are stretching horizontally. I also counted the nodes. She has 10 nodes before the stacking began. That's like 20 tops. If I can't keep this lady happy for the next 2 months, we shall see a bountiful harvest indeed. She'll be getting a full defoliation right after the stretch. I just did it with the Blue Dream. She'll be done well before the Apple Strudel. Maybe even 2 weeks. But that just means the apple strudel will be a better harvest. Especially because it's still stretching and isn't covered in pistils yet. I hope this isn't another hermie and thats why veg is taking longer. I MUST LOOK! 02/18/2026 I wish I had a 3rd hand, cuz then I could show the MASSIVE root ball. It takes up most of the bucket now. And it's not done. At least based on what I'm seeing as she's still not done stretching. Still no buds too, so she's definitely still stretching. I wonder why she's not slowing down. I've checked multiple times for male parts and I haven't seen anything. Maybe she's just has a longer veg stage. But she has pistils all over the top. Not much on the bottom. So why she's half transitioned to flower. Lol. The environment is looking awesome now. The heater and humidifier are doing minimal work to keep it up to snuff. Very happy with this. Now to keep her happy. I have to check the light distance again I think. Then move it accordingly. She did get a half gallon top off today. It was left over from yesterday. Her readings looking decent. Readings: pH: 6.0 EC: 750 TDS: 375 Temp: 66.3 02/19/2026 So today we did some defoliation. She's starting to show buds, but just. So I defoliated her. She looks good. Nice and open canopy. Lots of air flow. A little droopy now, but that's to be expected. Well, kinda. She's a tiny bit droopy. We'll see how she does this afternoon when the praying starts. The environment is looking really good. Goot temp and humidity. 76° and 55%. I plan on dropping the humidity to 50% next week. I checked the DLI today. It's 41 mol. I'll leave it there for now. There shouldn't be a problem with that, especially because I have CO2 in the tent. So it should be fine with 41. If it goes any higher, I'll have to realize the light a bit more, and or drop the light power. She's still growing. So that's good. The water is perfect. pH is 5.8, EC 797, TDS is 442. Temp was 76.6° very happy with those numbers. Next week I'll increase the TDS to 500 I think. She should be strong enough to handle a good amount of bloom nutrients. Hopefully she's not as sensitive to the bloom stuff as she was to the grow stuff. She seems to be happy with the current mix, and when she really needs the bloom nutrients, she should be really hungry. 02/20/2026 Last day of week 6. 6 weeks in veg is quite the long time and not much to show for it. Don't get me wrong, she's a beautiful plant, but she should be much bigger for 6 weeks in veg. Oh well. She'll make up for it with buds. Lots and lots of buds. The water is really low. Like maybe over a gallon low, but I'm replacing it tomorrow with bloom nutrients. So I don't want to top off and waste nutrients. Oh, so I tried to lift the roots out of the bucket just to see if I could move the plant. Nope. The roots are heavy. The ball is massive. As I said before, it takes up the whole bucket. So it is confirmed, I cannot remove the plant from the bucket. I thought it would have been from the canopy being held down by the trellis net. Well, this is a benefit. Now I know I can use the trellis net and not have to worry about what if. Lol. The environment is good to go. Nothing else to say. As for the plant itself, she looks great! Nice and open. Plenty of light to get to the bottom buds and plenty of air flow.

(Update: 4/20/19) Please stand by while they dry. (Update Everything is going great though! The smell is very strong now; no more cut grass smell. From looking at all three today, I believe that some of the smaller branches will be done drying and ready for trimming and weighing in a day or two. I have one guess for dry weight of Big Lemon, any other guesses?? Remember, the picture of Big Lemon hang drying looks like its two plants, but its all Big Lemon; I had to cut it off to be able to hang it. The amputated branch left of the main plant is bigger than my other two plants alone! (Update 5/2/19) Woah...Okay. So after drying the whole for about nine days, and trimming for four days, Big Lemon's dry weight SO FAR is about 430ish grams of super dense and sticky nugs. Its amazing that I got more big bud than I got popcorn nugs from such a big plant. I have one more 1/2 gal Mason Jar of untrimmed tops to finish, then I'll post pics or a vid of the weigh up and glamour shots etc.. Oh, almost forgot, Little Lemon produced about 40 grams of very nice bud. This surpassed expectations because, although it was planted on the same day as Big Lemon, it was the runt of the bunch because it got pushed out of the main tent that had all the lights and Co2 environment and everything. It spent much of late veg under a very weak light. I remember how limp it was when I gambled on it and chose to switch her over to 12/12. But it was totally worth it in the end! Alight back to work for me. Check back later today for pics, vids! (Final Update: 5219 @11:09pm PT) Its done. Its finally done! I had to trim both plants with my own two hands! So Exhausting, yet so rewarding. So above are several videos of the weighing. Grand total for Big Lemon is 14oz of prime top shelf nugs, and about 3oz of nice popcorn/LARF (they are separated as shown above in a video. Forgive me for not throwing it all together to weigh it, I spent a long, long, very long time trimming and sorting and canning the buds according to their respective grade/quality. I may add one more update to show their respective weights. Oh and little lemon produced about an 1 1/2 oz of prime nuggets and quite a bit of popcorn/LARF, which I haven't gotten around to weighing yet. So, Grand Grand total of Both Lemon OG Candy (amazing job with this beast of a strain, Philosopher seeds) is about 18.5oz, or 1lb 2.5oz for two plants; 15.6oz of which is entirely made up of top-shelf buds 😎 Damn I love SoCal, I didnt even need to run carbon filters because no one be trippin about a lil stink weed. Thanks to those for following this grow! Tell me what yall think! Cant wait to see some comments from all you growers out there. (Update: smoke review after a week or two of cure) This Lemon OG Candy had an extended veg period, about 4 months maybe a little longer, and I harvested her on day 56 of flower (recommended harvest 60-70 days) because of the size/distance to light and her root-bound problems. The results so far, a very uplifting and stimulating quality.

07.04. Day 71 Day 31 of flower and things are holding steady. The girls are progressing nicely – buds are bulking up, resin production is picking up, and that sweet, fruity aroma is getting stronger. Four out of five plants are thriving with no major issues. One, however, still shows a strong CalMag deficiency – no improvement so far, so it’s under close watch. Environment stays dialed in: 26 °C during the day, 21 °C at night, 50–60% RH, and a VPD of around 1.5. LED is still running at 70%. All in all, the setup is stable and the buds keep stacking – we stay patient and focused! ******************************************* 10L RO Water // ph 6,2 // 1ml/L Regulator // 2ml/L CalMag // 10ml Green Sensation // ph- //

welcome to 📅 Day 8 of flower 7/12/2021 they are growing very well and are drinking lots 10 gal a week I'm hoping that they stop the stretch and start to fatted up as I am running out of space lol. next update on thurs till then happy growing and as always keep your stick on the ice 🏒 I would like to say a few words about Mars Hydro. the TS 1000 is a great light and I love the fact that the power supply is capable of being separated from the light and located outside of the tent to keep the heat down. I also like the fact that you can control the light intensity and daisy chain with another light witch is what I plan on doing.

N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des questions! Pour préparer votre solution, dans votre réservoir ou arrosoir : Mettre en premier la base (Iguana) Ensuite Ancient Earth Et enfin les bactéries ASSUREZ-VOUS D'UTILISER UNE EAU DE BONNE QUALITE (EC < 0,2) POUR DE MEILLEURS RESULTATS. J'utilise un substrat non enrichi pour permettre le meilleur départ à mes plantes. Il s'agit du Promix de Plagron, il a une EC proche de 0, c'est pour cette raison que je commence les engrais assez fort dès le début. Les plantes sont très gourmande sous LED haute intensité et l'enracinement est rapide. J'arrose tous les 3 jours environ avec 2 arrosages à l'engrais et 1 à l'eau par semaine. Je n'attend pas que le substrat sèche complétement sinon ça réduit l'efficacité de l'arrosage, ça détruit la faune et éventuellement facilite la cristallisation des minéraux. Au niveau du volume d'arrosage, il faut prendre en compte 1/3 de la taille du pot. Pour un pot de 1L je vais donc arroser environ 300ml. Pour un Pot de 10L je vais arroser environ 3L. Il est important d'arroser doucement pour éviter que l'eau ne coule tout de suite au fond. Il est important d'avoir au moins 15% de drain pour s'assurer d'évacuer tous les nutriments non consommé et faire la place aux nouveaux. IL EST PRIMORDIALE D'EVACUER L'EAU AU FOND DES COUPELLES, c'est une eau qui est chargée en nutriments non consommé et on ne veut pas qu'elle remonte dans les pots car cela risquerait de créer des blocages. Au niveau de la technique de taille de formation, je réalise tout de suite une FIM que je reproduirai dès que l'apex aura repoussé. La première FIM est la plus longue mais les suivantes sont très rapide car la plante s'habitue à la technique et cela la stress beaucoup moins. En général il faut reproduire la FIM tous les 3 à 4 jours en fonction de la vigueur. C'est une technique très facile à mettre en œuvre et ne demande aucun matériel. C'est aussi la plus rapide pour obtenir des buissons. N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des questions concernant la FIM! Je retire également les feuilles supérieur (pas toute pour éviter de ralentir la plante) qui cache les secondaires pour augmenter l'efficacité de la FIM sur la croissance des secondaires.

05/22/24. Going into week 3 flower Everything seems to be going pretty good so far. Finally got a bit of stretch and definitely have some bud formation. As things are still so freaking dark with these ladies leaves I am still not giving a feeding. Have given them water with silica and calmag when things seem dry. Plant 1 seems much more leafy and with many more bud sites than plant 2. Most of plant 2’s growth has not made it up to the trellis sadly. I will be doing some cleaning up of the stuff underneath the trellis and some selective defoliation today or tomorrow. Lights now about 75% at about 20 inches up. Temperature has been 73-82 with around 50% humidity. I think I covered everything for now. Thanks for lookin

I am not sure what the deal is with the Chibans. They look mutant to me maybe due to pollination. There is so much crystal forming up on them and they still look beautiful. Plant 1 is huge with big colas that are fragrant and very very sticky to the touch. Plant 2 looks the most normal as far as bud structure to me. She has not got the same flattened of tops but instead are more cone like . Also very very crystal heavy Clones 1 and 2 look like monsters to me. Their buds are bulbous and fat with a very flat round top and quite a bit larger then golf balls! I have never seen bud look like this but then I have never had pollination issues and watched the plants quite as much as I am at the moment. We will keep going with them and see what we get. I hope for some smokable bud and also some Sherbert banana seeds maybe🤪👍👍. Thanks for looking. Stay safe. Grow well.🌱🌱
