Veg Week1 (Day 8 Mar2) Aiming for a little spritz of water each day to keep things nice and moist without loading the solo cup with water. Also a few spritz into the bag to keep the humidity as high as possible in there Heights at Week Start Stilton - 5cm Tropical Berry - 3cm Fruity Widow - 2cm Critical Kush - 0cm Mar2- no news Mar3- everybody's out and moving, Mar4- great shape all round, fingers crossed for a stronger grow this time. kush a little slow to germinate but she's there so she's getting planted... can't leave her Mar5- i'm away from the house for 2 nights...... pls be ok Mar6- everybody in good shape, kush hasn't come out yet, husk still hanging on to the tropical berry Mar7- n/a Mar8- n/a

Veg Week2 (Day 15 wednesday Mar9) Bags still on, but they're getting tall inside there, still doing a couple of sprays of just water about once a day Heights at Week Start Stilton - 9cm Tropical Berry - 7cm Fruity Widow - 3cm Critical Kush - 6cm Mar9- great looking set of girls, except the fruity widow who doesn't look great, and the perlite balls have gone a bit green... kush looking fantastic now Mar10- Mar11- Mar12- Mar13- kush into second place now I'd say, ahead of tropical berry. stilton still banging nice, fruity widow ain't gonna make it methinks Mar14- Mar15-3 great plants, stilton still powering ahead as the favourite

Veg Week3 (Day 22 wednesday Mar16) First day of the week I've done a little feed, but for the rest of the week I think it'll be sprays of water until transplant. Final homes are now ready - 15L fabric pots with a mix of biobizz light mix and all mix. Biggest problem is that I know the humidity in the tent is super low ~28% during the day. I'll have to get a humidifier. The bags were helping. I'm guessing the humidity in there is 50% or higher, but that can't keep going because the bags are touching the leaves, so i've added in a ratchet humidifier... Heights at Week Start Stilton - 10cm Tropical Berry - 8cm Fruity Widow - 3cm Critical Kush - 9cm Mar16- 3 good looking plants, 1 runt, fed the girls for the first time today - 30ml of tea each from a 500ml jug with 1ml each of root juice, bio grow and bio heaven Mar17- freedom from the bag cells, wet towel added to the oil rad Mar18- new DIY humidifier. the towel was dry within a couple of hours, so we'll see how much longer I can keep up the humidity without buying a humidifier Mar19- towel seems to dry out pretty quickly too, but humidity seems to be above 40 or 50% most of the time now... hopefully that'll help Mar20- transplant day Mar21- no water today, leave them alone Mar22- no water again today, but I've made up a feed and i'm going to leave it in the grow space to get up to a better temp and feed tomorrow

Veg Week4 (Day 29 wednesday Mar23) For 3 weeks worth of veg I still think these plants look really really small... i clearly haven't the slightest clue what I'm doing or why they're not taking to the environment. Got a new battery for the hygrometer so now I can see how the environment sets up across the day... At the end of the week, the graph show that the temp range is pretty ok, swinging from 36 in the day to 21 or 22 at night... humidity requires intervention. when i go up there with a wet towel for the rad, it jumps but it doesn't stay there for more than a few hours. need a large volume humidifier for these early weeks https://www.growweedeasy.com/why-cannabis-plants-growing-slow Heights at Week Start Stilton - 12cm Tropical Berry - 10cm Fruity Widow - gone Critical Kush - 9cm Mar23- feed day, second feed with biobizz tea - 500ml made up with 1.5ml RJ, 0.5ml grow, 0.5ml heaven, giving them about 170ml each Mar24- good shape, looking bigger, no water today Mar25- no water Mar26- about 150ml plain water Mar27- no water Mar28- about 150ml plain water Mar29- no water

Veg Week5 (Day 36 wednesday Mar30) Environment is just so variable... not sure why my oil radiator is so terrible at maintaining a temperature. But i'll defo have to get a humidifier. Also, no sensor for PPM CO2, so that's on the list also. Ok.... so I've hacked into my houses ventilation system and connected the co2 filled air being sucked out of various rooms of the house and directed it into the bottom of my tent, then I've connected my AC infinity unit to the roof vent.... here's hoping there's a bunch of extra co2 and circulating air to help growth. Next will be a humidifier.... order is in. Overall for the week it looks like my temp can suffer from random cold days, but on average sits between 21 and 33C, with humidity waving between 27 and 40%... super low Heights at Week Start Stilton - 18cm Tropical Berry - 13cm Fruity Widow - gone Critical Kush - 13cm Mar30- no water again Mar31- feed day -2L of warm water (cold tap left next to the rad for a day), plus 3ml grow and 5ml heaven. it got really cold last night and the temp overnight dipped to 15C for a few hours.... that's not going to be good Apr1- no water Apr2- no water Apr3- 600ml plain water each Apr4- no water Apr5- no water

Veg Week6 (Day 43 wednesday Apr6) Topping and LST to kick off this week. Never done it like this before but found a youtube video, aiming for each plant to have 5 nodes,then clipping the top off with a little scissors. Then i pulled them to bend over and expose the lower sites to the light. Makes sense, but we'll have to see on the results. I can't say I've noticed any obvious change from the new vent system that's pumping the air from the house into the tent before it goes out the roof, but then again I don't have CO2 ppm data on either side of it either. Humidifier arrived on Monday Apr 11th, so hopefully we'll have some more steady RH numbers going forward and I'll be able to keep it to 50% plus. That should surely make a difference Heights at Week Start (this week a bit weird with the LST) Stilton - cm Tropical Berry - cm Critical Kush - cm Apr6- feed day -2L of warm water with 2.5ml grow and 4ml heaven Apr7- no water Apr8- no water Apr9- 600ml plain water each Apr10- no water Apr11- no water, new humidifier and clip fan Apr12- no water, did some minor defoliation and tweaked the placement of LST strings to get as many bud sites to see the light

Veg Week7 (Day 50 wednesday Apr13) Heights at Week Start Stilton - cm Tropical Berry - cm Critical Kush - cm Apr13- feed day -2L of warm water with ml grow and ml heaven split between the 3 plants Apr14- no water Apr15- no water Apr16- saturday morning. I'm going to be away for 6 days so I'll set up a ratchet DIY drip system with 2L botles of plain water Apr17- DIY drip Apr18- DIY drip Apr19- DIY drip

Veg Week7 (Day 50 wednesday Apr13) - probably the last week of veg... still super stunted Heights at Week Start Stilton - cm Tropical Berry - cm Critical Kush - cm Apr20- DIY drip Apr21- arrived back, 1 bottle empty, 1 bottle with 1/3 gone from it and 1 bottle didn't drip at all... all plants look great though! Apr22- feed day - 1L each with 2.5ml/L heaven and 1.5ml/L grow - stilton is super congested.... air flow is not going to be great there, might need some tough defoliation before flowering Apr23- away Apr24- away Apr25- no water, gave them a bit of a haircut removing the leaves and bud sites that are closest to the centre of the plant, trying to get out to just one bud site at the outside of the plant, but in some cases leaving a second site back along the branch that i think might break through the "canopy"... still all very stunted Apr26- still no water, they look good, so i'll just give them a first flowering feed to kick off flower tomorrow

Flower Week1 (Day 57 wednesday Apr20) Moving to 12/12 and starting the bio-bloom. Might look to reduce the humidity in a few weeks, but hoping to keep it above 40-45% for now. Heights at Week Start Stilton - 10cm Tropical Berry - 9cm Critical Kush - 12cm Apr27- first flowering feed, 1.3L each (4L with 4ml grow, 4ml heaven, 2ml bloom), flipping to 12hr light cycle and increasing the light intensity, i've also raised the light slightly to see if she'll reach up for it Apr28- no water Apr29- no water Apr30 - away (should have given them some water before leaving) May1 - away May2 - away May3 - back.... and the girls are not in good shape. left them too long without water. gave them each about 600ml of plain H2O and will look to feed maybe day after tomorro

Flower Week2 (Day 64 wednesday May4) Heights at Week Start Stilton - cm Tropical Berry - cm Critical Kush - cm May4 - starting the week in bad shape after ending last week poorly... fingers crossed for a revival May5 - feed - 1L with the bloom upped a bit May6 - away May7 - away May8 - feels a bit dry in there and they look a little droopy, so gave them 300ml each of plain H20. lots more LST on the stilton May9 - May10 -

Flower Week3 (Day 71 wednesday May11) Heights at Week Start Stilton - 24cm Tropical Berry - 34cm Critical Kush - 36cm May11 - feed 4L across the 3 plants - 4ml bloom, 5ml heaven, 3ml grow May12- May13- May14- extra 650ml h20 May15- May16- May17- Tropical berry looking a little thirsty, so moving her feed up to today, 1L with 2ml grow, 2.5ml bloom and heaven

Also adding some epsom salts to kush to see about those yellow spots May24-

Flower Week5 (Day 85 wednesday May25) Getting some yellowing and drying in the leaves, which is to be expected. Steadily increasing the water and light intensity.... these plants are all still so small and thin. Heights at Week Start Stilton - 27cm Tropical Berry - 39cm Critical Kush - 41cm May25- feed day - 1.5L each with 3ml bloom, 2ml grow, 2ml heaven - each of them had run off come through the soil, out through the fabric pot and into the tray.... but within a few seconds that was all soaked back up through the fabric into the soil.... i wonder how that's happening? May26- May27- looking at the sensor data, it looks like the tent got too hot during the day time... really need a better system for controlling the temp/humidity within a range May28- 2L plain H2O each, lots of runoff on the kush, but she had it all soaked up fairly quickly May29- soil still seems damp enough this morning, good bit of yellowing and browning on some lower leaves of the tropical.. no yellowing on the stilton May30- May31-

Flower Week6 (Day 92 wednesday Jun1) So an overall pretty weak grow again, super stunted. Something's still very wrong in what i'm doing. Jun1- feed day, but i think we're coming close to the end so I just did 1L of plain h2o Jun2 Jun3 Jun4 - 2L plain water each Jun5 - away Jun6 - Jun7

Flower Week7 (Day 99 wednesday Jun8) Super busy at work and they're not getting the attention going into the final leg

Flower Week8 (Day 106 wednesday Jun15) Left them a little bit going into this week. Turns out its a good idea to dry them out before getting ready to harvest! Jun15- yikes, left them like 5 days without water, 1L each Jun16- Jun17- trimmed off the dead leaves, later today I'm going to turn off the lights for a 48hour sleep before harvesting - also took a bunch of snaps with the microscope Jun18- lights off Jun19- lights off Jun20- harvest day Jun21-
