8/4/2022: Sprayed the medium with 0.5ml/1l of Optimizer, pH 6.50 @ 400ppm, and Planted the seeds directly into the substrate (peat moss only to hold moisture).
24hr later one of the seeds had the tap root above the ground. Carefuly dug it out with some tweezers and resat it.

Some of the plants let me know I introduced calmg (Ferrari Gold) A little to early.
Will monitor new growth and re-introduce it when I see deficiency instead. I see dificiency instead.

Start brewing 20L compost tea
pH Down water to 6.5 before adding ingredients.
2 Cups compost
10ml Optimizer
2 tbsp molasses
8/24/2022
Take out 5L of the compost tea after 24hrs
- Root Promoter: 5mL
pH:6.57
PPM: 492
EC: 0.657
8/27/2022
Prepare 4L of 1/8 strength nutrients
- Root Promoter: 0.6mL
- Optimizer: 0.25mL
pH:6.55
PPM: 107

Plain Water
pH:6.20

Transplant to 2L pots
Plain Water to compact substrate
pH:6.45
PPM: 68
EC: 0.094
NOTE:
- The high humidity is misleading. I use a sprayer and sometimes I get some mist on the probe. Dries out pretty quickly.
- I'll also start taking side view pictures at the start and end of the week as I also would like to see them from others.

Plain Water.
pH:6.50
PPM: 240
EC: 0.293
Plants began to yellow. I decided to check the runoff, which was 7.33. After about an hour of flushing with plain tap water, the pH did not drop. My tap water was now 240ppm instead of 110ppm. I believe they have switched to well water, which, according to https://www.masterclass.com/articles/alkaline-soil, results in high soil pH. I made the decision to purchase a RO unit. Water is coming out at 10ppm, so hopefully GH Feeding will be here by EOW so I can be adding calcium back.

The humidity is a mess now. Rainy weather plus too many plants/foliage. The rain should end soon and will heavily de-foliate next week. Can't wait! I'll also switch to 4 plants flowering at a time since I'm setting up a perpetual cycle starting next season.
This is a very vigorous and easy plant to grow. An experienced grower will be greatly rewarded but no one is leaving empty handed! As you can see from the diary I was able to recover from pretty nasty pH fluctuation leading to lockout due to a change in my water supply that I didn't know prior. The plants were also grown using fertilizer blend that has a lot of Nitrogen and still managed to get rock-hard on phenotype #2 and the amount of frost on there is just obscene😵. I will be running phenotype #2 again with the GH Feeding mineral line and hoping for a better fade and rounder buds, so I have kept a clone. 10/10. Glad I got more left, can't wait to circle back here. I've got more fromm GH and I can't wait to run 'em all. Currently vegging Fullgass, Velvet Moon and Pulp Friction. I'll start those diaries once I move them to flower. See you all soon. I'll be back with dry weight and some bud pics.
