Current grow cycle 09/10/22 photos

~Week 2/ 8-14 days from sprout ~Overall: Looking good ~VPD out of range still ~DLI got a bit high at around 40 so I decreased it back down to around 33 ~First top-dress will be in 2-4 weeks ~Watering as needed, 2-3x a week, just around the edges of the plant

~Week 3/ 15-21 days from sprout ~Overall: Good week ~VPD out of range, will be for rest of grow due to room design ~DLI at about 35 for now ~Watering as needed in circles around the plant, and misting plant during watering Week Summary: All good. Plants top-dressed today with worm castings. Will be feeding them fully right around week 7, before flip to flower. Making great strides. Will also be taking clones from at least one of these plants before the switch to flower in the next 2-6 weeks. Misc. comments: Next few weeks the plants will be top-dressed once, and I need to decide when to flip to flower. I have never grown photos but heard to expect them to double in size after flip. I will flip these plants in the next 2-6 weeks. Hoping to fill the tent.

~Week 4/ 22-28 days from sprout ~Overall: Good week ~VPD has been a bit hard to maintain ~Plants growing into the lights so DLI does not need changed, 35-43 ~First top-dress in 3 weeks. Will also flip to flower at that time ~Watering as needed, about every 5-6 days End of week summary: Great week. Red stems and petioles starting to appear. Only on the Blue cheeses, not the Blueberry. This makes me think that its more of a genetic thing. Either way it is probably due to temp and humidity fluctuations or stress from bad VPD. Could also just be from the light, genetics, or lack of nutrients. Nothing alarming as of yet. Will monitor closely over the next few days. Misc. comments: Scrog net installed, but plants not put through it yet. Kind of screwed the Blueberry by training so early. I am used to training autos which need to be trained early because they flower 4 weeks into being alive. The blueberry is now all bent over and S shaped. The blue cheeses I have not done a ton of training to but I did start some LST. Hopefully this will just allow the auxiliary buds to catch up to the apical meristem. Hopefully flipping in 3 weeks but if plants get much bigger then I may have to flip earlier to avoid running out of tent space. I can let them get about 2.5 feet tall before flipping at the max. Also decided to take clones at week 7, right before the flip to flower, will probably take clones from the parts I defoliate.

~Week 5/ 29-35 days from sprout ~Overall: Great, check End of Week Summary at bottom of page ~VPD: Not accounting for VPD closely anymore but will go back to it closer if the plants start to look unhealthy at all. This is looking like a good thing. The indicas don't seem to like the high humidity as much so I am slowly going to let it drop over the next few days ~Plants growing into the lights so DLI does not need changed ~First top-dress in 2 weeks. Will also flip to flower at that time. Going to feed worm castings this week ~Watering as needed, about every 5-6 days. Next watering should be the 13th Day 29 notes: So far so good. Did some more training today. Plants getting super bushy and water is starting to build up between leaves during transpiration. Will be doing a huge defoliation when I water and light feed this week. That should be in 4 days. More training done on all the plants. The blueberry in the back left is growing so tall that I may have to top it to keep it on par with the other plants. Also starting to see some micronutrient deficiencies on the plants. This was expected because I did not use the best mix of soils, but I expected it later in the plants life cycle. I will monitor it for now. I have never really been good at identifying deficiencies though. As of now I am thinking that I should be able to fill out the entire tent ALMOST wall to wall just with the 3 plants I have. One more plant and I would definitely be wall to wall. Also definitely taking clones of both Blue Cheeses. Something seems special about these plants. Look like perfect indicas, and are already developing a beautiful fruity and gassy smell. Day 30 notes: More training today. Plants are recovering very well. Blueberry in the back left is growing a bit more bushy now thanks to the training. Some issues on some of the plants. I am not sure exactly what it is, but the plants are overall healthy. Will keep monitoring them. Pictures of afflictions posted above. Temps also seemed to be a bit higher when I checked the plants today. Temp was sitting at 84.5F. Now down to around 84. Still a bit high but lights off is soon and the temp will drop then. I haven't decided what to do about the temp. I think I will have to remove the drivers from the LED bar lights they are on. Definitely defoliating when I feed worm castings in 3 days. Day 31 notes: More training. All looking good. Smell is getting stronger by the day. Added a fan to circulate more air in my lung room and I have been able to drop the temp to around 82F. Plants will really benefit from the defoliation I am doing in 2 days. Day 32 notes: Not much to add today. Notes are pretty much the same as past few days. Tomorrow is a big day for the plants however. I plan to do a heavy defoliation on all the plants, and then top-dress with worm castings, I will vacuum the tent to make sure its clean, and water all of the plants. I am going to be putting quite a bit of worm castings in this top-dress. Possible 1-2 cups/ 10 gallons. I will also be removing the LED drivers from the tent as I can tell some of the leaves are dealing with heat stress and it will only get worse as they grow closer to the LED driver. The plants are all definitely in need of a defoliation. Also noted a bit more deficiencies all of the plants but some of it is windburn, some of it is heat-burn, and there's slight nutrient imbalance, especially when considering micronutrients. I also do need a stronger buffer capacity. Also noticing more red stems. Could be an early sign of Phosphorus or Potassium deficiency or could be due to LED or heat. Will keep watching especially after I remove the driver from the tent. Day 33 notes: Big day for all the plants today. All were HEAVILY defoliated, top-dressed with 1 cup of worm casting each, and watered with 1/8tsp of seaweed extract, 1/4 tsp of recharge, and 1/2 teaspoon of hydro guard. The seaweed extract was a treat for the plants after their defoliation. It should provide necessary vitamins and minerals the plant needs for a good recovery. Recharge was added in order to get the microbial life in the worm castings going extra good. I want those worm castings used up ASAP so the plants remain perfectly healthy until the top-dress next week. The hydro guard was just to reintroduce good bacteria into the soil, after it having been dry. I also did a lot of LST, and I fimmed one of the blue cheeses. I have never fimmed before but I wanted to try so I did it to cut a bit of distance off of one of the plants. I should really decrease the DLI a bit, but I am going to keep it the same and let the plants tough it out. Tomorrow if they are showing ANY signs of stress I will reduce the DLI. I also took clones from all 3 plants today while defoliating. These are practice clones. I have never cloned before so I wanted to try it before trying to actually clone these photos in 3 weeks. I don't know if any of the clones will live because I can only get the environment up to 50%RH. I am guessing the plants will be about double their current size in 3 weeks. Day 34 notes: The training and defoliation yesterday was exactly what the plants needed. The canopies are now even, and they will be grown out this way for the next several weeks until I flip to flower and defoliate again. I also checked on the clones today. They seem to be suffering because the humidity is so low. This is ok as they were test clones. I will be ordering a 2x2 tent for the cloner though to keep the humidity up. Day 35 notes: Perfect end to week 5. Plants are all looking very healthy and vibrant. One thing I am realizing now is I will either need to top the blueberry like tomorrow, or super crop a lot during flower. The Blueberry is supposed to stretch 2x, and currently it is 3 inches taller than both Blue Cheeses. The Blue Cheeses are only supposed to stretch 1.5x. So the Blue Cheese's after stretch will be 6-12 inches shorter than the Blueberry. I did super crop one branch of the Blue cheese today to make the canopy even again. Also the Fim I did on one of the Blue Cheeses was a fail. All good though because it was an experiment. End of week summary: Great week. One of the biggest weeks of these plants lives. Plants were fed worm castings to hold them over a couple of weeks until their first top dress. I also heavily defoliated the plants, and started to do more LST. I took clones while defoliating, and vacuumed and cleaned the grow area. Blue Cheeses both seems like keepers as far as veg growth goes. Misc. comments: Will be putting some Lime, Azomite, and Greensand in my soil blend next time to eliminate any micronutrient deficiencies. Also need kelp for a more sustainable source of Potassium Starting next week I am going to water the plants one day sooner. As they get bigger they are drinking more and more water per week meaning I have to water more and more often Plants have two more defoliations not counting this weeks. Plan to do one the 1st week of transition and then as needed during flower The way the plants responded after the defoliation has made me think they are great plants so far. The blue cheeses have a perfect structure and all the plants have been very easy to grow. I may make the blueberry clones and the blue cheese clones into a mother plant depending on how flower goes. So far, these plants are great in veg stage After removing LED driver from tent on day 33, the temp has dropped to 80F, by day 35 temp has dropped to 78F. Used a heater to boost it back up around 80F

~Week 6/ 36-42 days from sprout ~Overall: ~VPD: Given up but keeping it decent. Growing in cold basement so having high humidity in the room is a no-no ~Plants DLI increased closer to 45 for these last few weeks of veg. Will close out around 50 next week, and then drop before flower. ~First top-dress end of next week ~Watering as needed, about every 5-6 days. Plants should be watered on the 18th. That will be 5 days since last watering. Might push it to the 19th though because with drop of temps means plants metabolism slows and they use less water. Day 36 notes: Looking great. Soil still very moist. Looking to water on day 39. Also increased the DLI closer to 45, and I want to push it to 50 closer to the flip to flower. Other than that training continues. Did some more super cropping and leaf tucking. Also my clones are not looking good. This is understandable as the temp and humidity has dropped considerably. Will watch them the next couple days and if none of them shoot roots then they will be outta here. I have a small tent specifically for clones coming the 20th, in 4 days. Day 37 notes: Did a lot of training today. My hope is to fill out most of the tent, if I have to have empty space I want it to be less than 8x8 inches. Grow is going well otherwise. Will be feeding on the 19th if all goes as planned. Some more red on the stems and petioles but it is still minor. Quite a bit of super cropping today. Also temps are all around and VPD is kind of screwed over right now. Also the plants smell really fruity now and smell a bit gassy. Smell really coming on strong. Also, even though they are not yet flowering, my hands were sticky today after handling them for LST, super cropping, and leaf tucking. Temp has been all over the place the past few days. Need to get it under control. Would prefer the conditions to stay at around 80F 60RH or 85F and 70RH. Not possible with my current setup though. 2-4 days until next watering. Soil was still quite moist today. Day 38 notes: Looking good today. Did not do anything but peek my head into the tent and take some pictures. Temps are doing well, and I tried to get humidity up. Currently at 80F/39RH. I would prefer 80F/60RH. Will water tomorrow or the day after depending on what I see when I go check them tomorrow. Still no roots on the clones, but there are some very small what looks like the start of roots. I am going to let the clones sit in the cloner until they die or I need to clean the cloner for my real clones. Day 39 notes: Maybe one of the most expected days so far. Expected to water the plants day 40, but they desperately needed water today. My blueberry plant also started peeling away from the main stem at 2 nodes. I am guessing my training was a bit too tight. The training was initially fine, but after the plants grew a bit more the ties were no longer at the tip, this caused the point of pressure to change and essentially ripped the plant apart at the seams. I need to keep this in mind next time. I did reattach the branch that had fallen off, but I do not know if it will live. If not, then I will actually use that branch for clones. Speaking of clones, all of mine are dead lol. Basically my high-ass forgot to turn the cloner back on after checking for roots. It was off for 24 whole hours. Came back today and clones are dead. Anyways its cool. I am going to throw these clones out, set up my new cloning tent, and after cleaning my cloner I will start a new batch of clones. The Blue Cheese in the front of the tent smells like straight dead skunk dumped in the tent lol. No matter what Ill be keeping some clones of that plant, at least for the smell alone. Not much to add otherwise. Next time I have to water I will readjust the LST ties. Day 40 notes: Great day today. All of the plants have recovered well from lack of water. Will be watering them in 3-4 days again. At this point, the plants are big enough to switch to flower, but I want to try to wait another 20 days. In 2 weeks I am going to defoliate and take off any of the lower growth. It is at this time that I will go ahead and take some new clones. I disposed of the dead clones today after checking for roots. 4/14 ended up rooting. That's actually pretty nice given the fact that they were in hellish conditions. Clones would like 80F/60-80%RH. These clones were at 80F/30RH. I could have technically saved the 4 that rooted, but they would not have had the vigor that they should have. Also temps have been kind of way off again. Today it was in the opposite direction. Earlier was too hot and not humid enough. Today, the tent was too cold and too humid lol. I'll keep watching it but the plants are mainly very healthy. My cloning tent also arrived today and I got it setup and installed a light in there. Day 41 notes: All good today. These plants are growing like a weed lol. The smell is intense now. Smells like a tent in flower. VPD was pretty good yesterday at 77F and 60RH and its the same way today. Will be taking clones in 12 days, and flipping to flower in 19 days. I am pretty excited because these plants are looking great so far. Day 42 notes: Did not do much today. A bit of leaf tucking, but that's it. Will be watering either tomorrow, or the day after. Soil is still pretty moist about an inch down. Also taped the injured branch on the blueberry, and removed all of the ties from it. I will be doing some more training in a couple of days when I water. Plants have a very strong smell overall. I am definitely excited to flip these babies into flower and start weaving them through the trellis net about 1 week after I flip them. End of week summary: Overall was a great week. There were a couple of interesting things I ran into this week but nothing wrong with the plants. These plants are gonna be beasts by the time I flip to flower. Also fimming on the Blue Cheese in the front definitely did not work. I have heard that it is not always successful. Misc. comments: DLI meter malfunctioning. Will just eyeball it from now on. If plants seem stressed then I will lessen the intensity. Want to run a batch of 5 Blue cheese clones next time. Could also do the blueberry which has responded great to training. Need to get a couple of clip on fans to improve my air circulation. Investing in a better trellis net would also be wise. Going to wait to do all that until I start my raised bed cannabis garden next year in my 4x4 and 3x3 tents. I will likely also purchase either a 4x4, or a 5x5 specifically for drying plants. I would also then need to get a filter, intake and outtake, and a couple of clip on fans. Humidifier and dehumidifier I pretty much already have. I would also like my grow area to be built in a way that I can very easily maintain proper VPD.

~Week 7/ 43-49 days from sprout ~Overall: Check End of Week Summary at bottom of page ~VPD: Been a lot better this week, not optimal though ~DLI started out at 37.5-45 ~Feeding end of this week ~Watering as needed, probably on the 24th Day 43 notes: All good. Just peeked in tent today. Will defoliate in 10 days or the day that I feed, and then I am flipping to flower in 17 days. I will take clones before flipping to flower. I am going to grow the clones in my small grow tent for now. Day 44 notes: Watered all of the plants today. They were getting a bit droopy. I will be topdressing and watering again in 5 days. Everything is looking really good in this tent. Looking like an almost full tent. Day 45 notes: Just peeked into tent today for a picture. Day 46 notes: Peeked into tent for a picture. Day 47 notes: Did some leaf tucking, lst, and hst. Plants are looking really good. First feeding in 2 days. Taking clones and defoliating in around 6 days. Could be in 2 days but we will see. Also lowering the DLI the other day was the right choice. Plants are looking much better now. All plants showing a lot of red on top stems. Probably due to lack of phosphorus but could also be due to lights. Cannot do anything right now but the plants will be fine until they are fed in 2 days. Nutrients will be available in about 10 days. Day 48 notes: Looked thirsty today. Want to wait tomorrow so I just watered each plant with 1/3rd of a gallon to hold them over. Plants are looking good and healthy though. I am sure I'll be doing around 5 hours of work downstairs with the plants tomorrow. Day 49 notes: Decided to wait to defoliate until next watering. Fed each plant with 1/4 cup of 5-2-4, 1/4 cup of 5-13-0, 1/2 cup of worm castings, and enough soil to cover my topdressing. I am going to defoliate next watering and take clones at the same time. One week from then and I will go ahead and flip to flower. Also vacuumed out the tent again, and now I am noticing that my trellis net is pretty bad. I do not recommend getting a trellis net from Amazon. The edges are 6 inches higher than the middle, which ruins the point of the next lol. End of week summary: Good week. Almost time to flip to flower. Misc. comments: Thinking of doing a 3-4 stage grow next cycle. My 2x2 for seedlings and clones, my 3x3 for veg, my 4x4 for flower, and another 4x4 for drying. This would allow me to harvest around 2lbs every 4 months. or 6lbs a year or 128 total ounces.

~Week 8/ 50-56 days from sprout ~Overall: Check End of Week Summary at bottom of page ~VPD: ~DLI: 40-45 ~Feeding: Not this week. ~Watering: 1x this week. approximately 2 and 1/3 gallons per plant. Day 50 notes: Looks good. No signs of stress or anything bad. Day 51 notes: Looking good. Need to defoliate tomorrow regardless of what else I do. The plants are so crowded that moisture is building up between the leaves. If I do not defoliate within the next couple days then I can say hello to PM. Also going to take clones when I defoliate, and then flip the plants into flower at day 60. Day 52 notes: Big day today. Defoliated all of the plants and also took 35 total clones. The canopies are very uneven now but I cannot do much about that. The Blueberry plant has very weak nodes and has separated from the node at about 3 places now. I need to keep this in mind if I use the clones I took from the Blueberry. Right now the Blue Cheese in the back right is my favorite contender. You can see the difference before and after defoliation. Clones should be ready to transplant to solo cups about the same time that I flip these plants into flower in 7 days. Decreased light intensity today to help the plants recover a little better. Could be another 2 days before I water this tent. Removed a total of 1.6 lbs. of leaves today. I think they would be great food when I eventually get around to starting a worm bin. Day 53 notes: Looking good. Will water in the next 3 days. Flipping to flower in exactly one week from today. Clones are also doing really well and loving their new environment. Day 54 notes: The Blue Cheese in the front is pretty small compared to the other Blue Cheese and the Blueberry. Looking good otherwise. Hoping I did not defoliate to heavily too soon. Flipping to flower in 6 days. The clones are looking good today, but showing some deficiencies and possible light stress. I would imagine they will shoot roots in the next two days. Day 55 notes: Popped into the tent today and saw the plants a bit droopy. Should water today, but I am going to water them tomorrow, and then again when I switch to flower on the 60th day. Huge height difference between the two plants in the back and the one in the front. On another note, the clones are doing good today. Looking healthy, and the stems are now puffy. Should have some nice roots in about 2 days. I will also clean the 2x2x3 after the clones have rooted. There is sitting water on the floor right now, but when I have 35 clones in the tent that cannot happen. Day 56 notes: Plants watered today with plain RO water. About 2 and 1/3 gallons per plant. As you can see in todays picture, the plants needed to be watered yesterday. They will perk back up in a few hours though. I also removed all the ties from the plant in the front. Getting excited to flip these girls into flower. Believe it or not, I left the cloner off again lol. My clones are looking good because the humidity remained super high but I turned it back on. Hopefully I will have roots by the end of the week. End of week summary: Good week. Prepped for flower stage. Plants are looking nice and healthy. Misc. comments: Should have topped one of the earlier weeks. Going to go dispensary style with my trim next time. I have been using my trim for edibles, but since I use a vaporizer, I am going to dry and cure my trim, and then basically grind it all up and keep it in a mason jar. This is what fills pre-rolled joints in dispensaries, but will serve as a backup stash for me. When vaping, the difference between trim and regular bud is hardly noticeable.

~Week 9/ 57-63 days from sprout ~Overall: Check End of Week Summary at bottom of page ~VPD: All over. Has been from 0.7-2.5 ~DLI: 30-35, due to transition and wanting to keep temp from being too high ~Feeding: Feeding day 70 ~Watering: Every 4 days Day 57 notes: Looks good today. Good recovery from lack of water that they suffered yesterday. Will be flipping these babies into flower in 3 days. I am going to water the day I flip or the day before. The clones still have not rooted. It has been 5 days so this is not great. Though I did leave the cloner off for a whole day on accident. Hopefully some of these clones take in the next couple days. If not I will take a few more from each plant and then send them into flower. I need to order a clip on fan and an airstone today as well. I need to do the following things before I flip to flower. a. I need to check for any light leaks and fix them, as I have 3 tents in the room and 2 of them will still be on 18/6. b. I Need to remove dehumidifier from the tent because it has a light on it/ could tape over the light. c. I Need to fix trellis net and find some way to make it more taut and even across the tent. Currently it kind of sucks. d. I Need to see roots from some clones. Day 58 notes: Looking good in here. All plants are essentially even at the canopy, and all have quite a few bud sites. Will take some leaves off the bottom of the plants in 2 days. Watering either tomorrow or day 60. Flipping to flower day 60. Day 59 notes: Looks good. Need to remove some leaves tomorrow before flipping to flower. Will also water tomorrow. Day 60 notes: Watered today and did some defoliation to the inner part of the canopy. Also checked the tent for light leaks, and the clones for roots, then flipped to flower. I ALSO fixed the trellis net to the best of my ability. I have the lights set to come on at 8am in the morning, and set to go off at 8pm. I would do it at night for better temp control, but this way works way better with my schedule. Excited to see these girls stretch. On another note, a few of the clones had Botrytis, and I threw the infected clones away. I am not sure why they got moldy, as I followed every step that I was told to by a more experienced grower; put clones in water right after being cut, put some type of rooting hormone on the cuts before putting them in cloner, keep small tent completely sealed and filled with humidity so that the clones can have a high humidity area with NO airflow, and watch DLI. I did all of these things but I threw away almost 20% of my clones today due to botrytis infecting them. I am guessing that there was too little airflow, or that the temp dropped into perfect botrytis zone. My light in the 2x2 has electrical problems so it constantly shuts on and off. If any clones live then I will use them for my next cycle, and if not, I can get some barneys farm seeds or something similar. I want to try JOTI(Jordan of the Islands) but JOTI is pretty expensive so I will for sure want to keep clones, and soon I will have to transport all of my grow equipment elsewhere, so I cannot have any clones that need transportation. I will be revamping my cloning tent before cloning again. Namely getting a new light, and an intake and outtake fan. This would allow me to have constant airflow so I would not have to worry about Botrytis. Day 61 notes: Did some weaving through the trellis net today. I will add one to two more nets by the time mid flower starts, but anything not within the top 12 inches of the plant will be used strictly for edibles. Anything under the lowest net after stretch is getting Lolli-popped. Of course, the tent is not as full as I would have hoped, but I think that after the stretch is over the tent should be entirely full no problems. Also had some mycelial growth in one of my pots that I could see which is a really good sign. Day 62 notes: Did a bunch of defoliation today. Humidity kept rising and reached 70% a few times at night. I saw some standing moisture and wanted to make sure that the airflow would be sufficient to prevent mold. Day 63 notes: More weaving through the trellis net. Keeping canopies even everyday trying to fill out the net and also allowing the lower growth to shoot up above the nets as they are now. End of week summary: Good week. Some worries about insufficient airflow, but that is no major concern. I will have it fixed within the next few days. Misc. comments: Some of the clones molded, and some have roots. I do not know how many roots the clones need before being able to take a transplant. I am going to try to grow the

~Week 10/ 64-70 days from sprout ~VPD: Low towards the beginning of the week and way too high towards the end. Hopefully the climate will settle down as the plants end their transition phase next week. ~DLI: Around 30-40. Cannot increase it more without the temp rising way too high. Already battling temp ~Feeding: Feeding day 70 if I remember right. If not, I will update this later with correct date ~Watering: Need to water every 4 days. Watered day 64. Will water again day 68. Day 64 notes: Watered today. Each plant took approximately 3 gallons of water. Also did some more weaving through the trellis. Some twisting and curling on the lower growth but there are so many variables off that I cannot get it down currently. The DLI is not in optimal zone, and temp is not either. VPD as a result has been way out of zone. Going to keep watering every 4 days to keep the plants happy. Could be every 3 days soon. Deeper into flower I could need to water 1x a day at least. Day 65 notes: Plants look very happy today. Still some moisture on the leaves when I have checked. I am hoping to eliminate this with more airflow next run but this time I will make sure nothing goes moldy by keeping the plants well defoliated. Day 66 notes: Looking good in here today. Spotted more mycelial growth in my pots which is perfect because its what I want. The transpiration keeps sticking to leaves which has me a bit worried for a few weeks down the road when the plants are stacked with buds. Two days until these plants will be watered. Also added another dehumidifier to the room to hopefully get the humidity down. This will allow the water to evaporate from the leaves faster. My clones also were transplanted today, but it was a bit rough. I forgot to poke holes in the cups before transplanting so I had to do it afterward. I will give the clones a week or so to establish and at that point I will pick the best ones and either give the others away or throw them into the compost pile. Day 67 notes: Looks good today. Humidity is a lot lower than before which I consider to be good. The first of the actual flowers are starting to form today. It has been 1 week since I flipped to flower. I also might start watering the plants more frequently with less water. I did not have much to do today. I also am going to leave all of the lower growth on the plants. Larf is okay because I can turn it into shake for edibles or vaping. I also should have probably defoliated a lot more before flipping to flower but we will see how things turn out. My clone tent also got cleaned up a bit today. There was about 1 inch of standing water underneath the clones. I cleaned out the water, and wiped down the floor. The clones are back in their tent currently. As for the clones I am going to pick the best 4 clones and use those for my next run if 4 survive and thrive. If not, its a learning experience. Day 68 notes: Watered the tent today, and took a few leaves off the plants. Also did some super cropping. I am going to be unable to take care of the plants for the next two days which is why I watered today. I am also going to let the humidity stay low so that way I will not need to worry about any mold or PM issues. Will take some pictures day 70 if possible. Day 69 notes: Not recorded Day 70 notes: Not recorded End of week summary: Good week. Battled humidity and temp a bit but nothing the plants could not handle. I am looking forward to next week as there should be a lot of growth happening in a short period of time. Misc. comments: Need to get a wall mounted fan installed in the tent somehow before I start my next run. Need to use a hemp trellis net next time. I can tell that some of the flowers are going to pick up some of the synthetic fibers from the net I currently have.

~Week 11/ 71-77 days from sprout ~Overall: ~VPD: Keeping it high 1.6 or above. Not ideal but I need to keep humidity low for another tent in this room. ~DLI: Looking good. Not sure the number but the plants are happy so far. ~Feeding: Fed day 76. ~Watering: Every 3-4-5 days depending on what they need. About 3 gallons per plant per watering. Day 71 notes: Looks good in here. Probably will not be adding another net layer after all. The tent is filled out pretty nicely but with another plant I could have had the tent packed. I am also having a bit of a difficult time reaching through the front two plants to the back two, but the back door is against the wall so nothing I can do there. The flowers are really starting to develop nicely, and none of the plants really stretched as much as I was expecting. Day 72 notes: Looks good. Plants are overall healthy and there are a lot of bud sites. A few things to mention. VPD has been terrible the past two days. Max vpd you should have is 1.2-1.6. The VPD this tent has been is 3.2-3.5. Way too high. Lights increased in intensity. The clones really are not doing well. They have been looking rough since I let the temp and humidity get way off two days of cloning. The temp was roughly 78F and the humidity was roughly 95%+ This caused a lot of rot, as well as lockout, as well as several leaves to die and the clones to lose vigor. Next time I will NOT put a humidifier in the same tent as the clones. The clone tent is too small for a dehumidifier, and it basically rains in there if there is a humidifier. Day 73 notes: Not checked today. Watched humidity get up a little bit though from my AC Infinity app. Day 74 notes: Plants looking good today. Humidity is pretty high. Water on some of the top leaves due to transpiration. Buds are starting to form nicely. Because of what happened to my other tent, I am a bit worried that these plants will run out of nutrients close to the end of flower before being ready, but I will prepare for that in any way that I can. Did not take pictures yesterday. Clones are also looking a bit better. I will keep them until they mold out, or harvest time for this tent gets close. Day 75 notes: Looking good today. Temps have been hot. Got up to 88 at top of canopy but plants seem to be loving the current VPD. Will be taking care of these plants tomorrow. Need to remove any dead leaves from this tent as well as my other flowering tent. Some of the clones are completely dead by now, while others have actually started showing new healthy growth. Things are going well for this tent as of now. Day 76 notes: Started out by going into the grow room and collecting all the fallen leaves. I then went through the canopy and took out any dead leaves or dying leaves. The canopy is pretty thick so this did take a while. After this I decided to top-dress with 1/4 cup of 5-13-0, 1/8 cup of 5-2-4, About 1/2tsp recharge/ gallon of water, same with kelp. I added 1/4 tsp hydro guard/ gallon of water. I did not add extra soil or any worm castings this time. Everything is looking pretty good in here. I am not seeing any issues as of now. I should have top-dress at the beginning of this week but I think it should be fine. Day 77 notes: Tent smelled a bit funny today but I am willing to bet it is the nutrients that I added the other day that are causing the smell. Everything is looking quite well. The flowers are growing well and are quite beautiful. Really hoping things keep going as well as they have been so far. End of week summary: Easy week. The watering does take a long time but it is okay. The plants have been doing rather well this week. I will bet there is another 7 weeks of flower. Misc. comments:

~Week 12/ 78-84 days from sprout ~VPD: 1.6-2.8 ~DLI: 33-40. Started out at about 40 and reduced to 33 by the end of the week. ~Feeding: Not this week. ~Watering: Every 2-3 days. Day 78 notes: Did not check tent today. I will be watering day 80, possibly day 79. Day 79 notes: Looks good. Watered today. Will be watering again in about 3 days. You can see the buds fattening by the day. Something that is alerting me a little bit is that a few of the buds have pistils that are already brown. I believe this can be a sign of pollination, and I believe I just spotted a plant with seeds due to self pollination in one of my other tents. I am really hoping that none of these plants are pollinated and primed to produce seeds. Also looks as if the plants will be relatively frosty. The sugar leaves are already starting to frost up a bit. The clones look okay. They should start growing a lot faster next week I think. The plant in the back left has some fat buds with sugar leaves frosting up already. The plant on the right has medium sized buds with frosty sugar leaves. The middle plant is very similar to the plant on the right, per their genetics. They also smell beautiful now. Very mellow hints of blueberry. Day 80 notes: Tent not checked today. Day 81 notes: Looking good today. These girls are really starting to frost and stack as they enter week 3 of flower. I will be watering the tent tomorrow as well as defoliating any fallen or dead leaves. Day 82 notes: All good in here today. Tent watered and all dead and dying leaves removed. The buds are super sticky already and starting to smell exactly like blueberries with butter on bread. I will be watering again in 3 days, on day 85. Day 83 notes: Smells good today. A little bit of moisture between some of the leaves. This isn't good with a full tent like I have. I would usually add airflow but I do not have anymore fans. I am going to have to defoliate some of the leaves. I will do that tomorrow most likely. Day 84 notes: Lot of work done today. All plants defoliated pretty heavily and watered. I also fixed a fan in the back of the tent that had fallen down. I will be watering again in 3-4 days. The plants are stickier and smellier by the day. End of week summary: Great week. Misc. comments: Definitely need an automatic watering system for the next grow.

~Week 13/ 85-91 days from sprout ~VPD: ~DLI: ~Feeding: Will be fed soon. Possibly next watering. ~Watering: Watering every 2-4 days as necessary. Day 85 notes: Looks great. I will need to lower the light intensity tomorrow as I lowered it the other day in due to tacoing but today when I left the room I turned the light back up to full power. Not too much of a cannabis smell currently. More like tomatoes and blueberries. Day 86 notes: Not much done here today. Smell is still great. Buds actually look visibly different from yesterday density wise. I am really excited about this grow. Unfortunately, the lights shut off for about 30 minutes today mid the day period for the plants. I am not sure if this will affect anything. Also, the plant on the right is getting a bit yellow compared to the other two plants. I bet that PH may be a bit off because the top leaves are showing yellowing even though not most of the bottom is. On the other hand, the pot is an 11-gallon pot, meant for 10 gallons of soil, and I only put in 9. So this plant may have used up all of the available N. Regardless, next time I feed I will be using recharge and kelp. Also, I will say that the plants are looking beautiful IMO. The clones are also doing well; some of them were transferred to my 3x3, while most were left in the 2x2. I will take the best of the clones to practice training or start my next run. Day 87 notes: Looking good in here today. I have went through the canopy again and removed any dead or dying leaves. I also added some soil to the pot that was lacking and had slightly more yellow leaves. I watered each pot today with 2.5 gallons of water and 1/2 tsp of recharge and kelp extract per gallon of water. The smell is getting better and better by the day. The plants are also quite sticky. Next watering will be day 90, which happens to be the same day I plan to chop 3x3 with some autos in it. Day 88 notes: Looks beautiful, though the plant on the right side of the tent is far more yellow than the other two now. It can even be clearly seen in the pictures. I am not too worried since flower is halfway over, but I will keep watching it. On another note, the lights are still at a good 85%. The buds are developing nicely, and the flowers are frosty compared to anything I have grown. Day 89 notes: I swear everyday these buds look bigger. Unfortunately, the plant on the right looks a little sickly every day. I also need to pick up some worm castings for my next top-dress, but it is winter here and most gardening shops and places similar are closed. The plants are looking and smelling beautiful. The smell is really starting to kick in now. Even when they were in veg they had a strong cannabis smell, but at this point the more subtle scents can be detected such as hints of floral scents, berry scents, gasoline scents, tomato scents, and a big of a pungent scent. Tomorrow will be my final feeding for these girls. If not tomorrow, then sometime before the week is up. Day 90 notes: Pretty standard day today. I did water today and took pictures of all of the buds. Also took some pictures of the sickly plant for diagnosis by a professional. So far so good. Today I watered with some more kelp extract at 1tsp of extract/ gallon of water. I will be watering again, and then feeding on day 93. Day 91 notes: Looks good today. Problems with leaves still progressively worse. I did buy some worm castings though and I have some saponin extract and yucca powder on cover crop on the way. End of week summary: The week was pretty good overall. Problems with the leaves have been getting progressively worse and worse. Though, it looks good enough for now. Should be another 34-40 days of flower max. Misc. comments: Need to implement an automatic watering system next time. I also need to pick up some new worm castings sometime soon to help with the growth and micronutrient needs. Something I feel like noting and have said before is that up until this point I have grown only autoflower. People say there is no potency difference, yet if I am being honest, these three random photos not even from a high-brand breeder have been far frostier in the early flowering stage than any auto I have grown. It should also be noted I have just worked with very basic level auto genetics, but so far basic auto genetics compared with random popular photo genetics and the autoflower are not comparing well lol. I am growing Mephisto next run in my auto tent though so I expect the quality to be exponentially higher, and yield to decrease slightly.

~Week 14/ 92-98 days from sprout ~Overall: ~VPD: Going all over. Between 1.2-3.0 ~DLI: High 20s-low 30s. They have not been wanting much more. ~Feeding: Will be doing the last top dressing Day 93. ~Watering: Every 3 days. Will possibly be every 2 days in a few weeks. Day 92 notes: Tent not checked at all today. I did however go to the grow store and realized that for future grows I need to use a different flowering agent. One day I do want to do TLO though. Day 93 notes: Looks good today. Went through and defoliated the canopy. I also did the last amending. I used 1/8 cup of 5-13-0 fertilizer, 1/8 cup of 4-4-4 fertilizer, 1 cup of worm castings, 1/2 tsp of kelp and recharge, and 1/2 tsp of hydro guard. The kelp, recharge, and hydro guard were all added per gallon. The tent is looking pretty good, though still lacking on P and K. Next run I will do things a little differently. I will also be watering again day 95 or 96. Things are going smoothly though as we go into the 2nd half of flowering. Day 94 notes: Not looking so great today. The other two plants are now starting to follow in the footsteps of the Blue Cheese with issues. They both are yellowing now with brown tips curling up. Due to this, I believe the plants are suffering from lockout due to lack of P and K. It would make sense that the plant on the right started showing signs first because it had 1-2 gallons less soil than did the other two. Will water tomorrow or day 96. Not sure what I am going to do with my clones. I really like the bud formation on the Blueberry so I would like to keep that plant BUT the clones are not the same height, they are not very health, and furthermore I do not have any place to put them. The only place I COULD put them, is in my 3x3 after my autos finish drying. But this would be a gamble because these clones might be stunted and yield next to nothing. I do however have a ton of Mephisto auto seeds. I may try to give a clone or two away, or I may use this as experience for next time and just get rid of these clones into the compost. Day 95 notes: Looks a bit better than yesterday. Tomorrow I will be watering these plants and defoliating. These plants should be harvested in the next 30-40 days. Day 96 notes: Back down in the grow room today. I decided to defoliate any unhealthy leaves, water the plants, and take a general look at things. The flowers are looking really beautiful. Day 97 notes: Looking good today. Not much examination done, but I did take pictures. Day 98 notes: Did not check today. End of week summary: Good. Misc. comments:

~Week 15/ 99-105 days from sprout ~Overall: ~VPD: OFF. Pretty high above 1.6 on average. At night it drops down significantly ~DLI: Will measure next watering ~Feeding: Done feeding for the rest of the grow cycle ~Watering: Every 2-3 days as needed Day 99 notes: Same routine as usual. Stripped off all dead or dying leaves, and then watered. This tent is about 26-36 days from harvest at this point. Flowers looking pretty good. Both Blue Cheeses are showing the same issues, and the Blueberry is the healthiest of all. The Blue Cheeses smell way better than the Blueberry though. Day 100 notes: Did not check the tent today. I will be checking tomorrow and taking pictures as well. 25-35 days left until harvest. Day 101 notes: Well. I am really not liking the look of things. A lot of people are saying the plants are going through their "natural fade" but both of these finish after between 56-63 days of flower. That means at the EARLIEST I will be harvesting in 15 days. At the latest, it'll be harvesting in 29 days. So either way the "fade" would have started a week early. Which leads to my analysis of what is going on with these plants. Brown tips, yellowing leaves, purpling sugar leaves, what is going on? The purple is easy to explain. The past week I have had a 22 degree difference between my day and night temps. Day temps have been around 85-87, while night temps have been around 61-65. The 20+ degree drop in temperature within 15 minutes is what has caused the purpling. As for the Nitrogen and Potassium, you should have a 1:1 ratio of these two during veg, and a 1:2.25 ratio during flower. I had neither of these. My plants started with Potassium deficiencies because my amendments have very little potassium in them and potassium leaches from soil very quickly. Then, because the ratio of Potassium to Nitrogen was WAY off, this caused the plant to not be able to uptake Nitrogen as well. A major hole with this theory though is that the leaves are not yellowing like a Nitrogen deficiency, Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient so the plant would take the Nitrogen from the bottommost leaves and work its way up. However, random leaves seem to be yellowing and then dying. This could be fade, but one major problem with the fade theory is that I have never seen a healthy plant have curled brown tips while fading. This, however, can actually be seen as the answer when you look at all the factors. I ALREADY had the Potassium deficiency to start with. This means that if the plant was fading, it would have brown tips too as I had them before the fade started. Anyways, only time will tell whether it is fade or lockout. If the plants fade well over the next 3 weeks and are ready for harvest then its fade. If the plants still have 4 weeks to go and will barely have any leaves left at harvest then I would say it is lockout. Day 102 notes: This is going to be a nice harvest. Defoliated and watered today. Plants are looking and smelling great. The buds on the Blueberry are the most dense flowers I have ever seen on any cannabis plant period. I am really hoping I can save some of the clones I took from that plant and replant them. While you are not supposed to guess yields, I imagine this tent will yield at least 700 grams if not more. That would put me at one gram/ one watt. Day 103 notes: Not checked today. Day 104 notes: Plants seem to be pretty hard into fade right now, or going hard into the fade. They could also be a bit deficient, but they are at the right time to start fading, though they should not be fading this hard. I am really just hoping there will be enough nutrients for these plants to finish bulking before they run out of nutrients. I should have about 2 weeks of stacking a week of ripening before harvest. Will defoliate and water again tomorrow. VPD has also been very off, like 85F/35%RH. So that could also be contributing to my "fade" Day 105 notes: Looks and smells great today. I will be giving these plants another few weeks before harvest. The branches are leaning over and many of them cannot support themselves any longer. I will be giving these plants around 15-25 days before harvesting. Then a 5-10 day dry should do them well. I am pretty excited for this harvest, and I hope to run some clones of these plants for my next run. End of week summary: Great week overall. Not the best start IMO but the plants are looking and smelling better as every day goes on. The nutrient issues are also worrying me less and less as these flowers develop properly and we draw near harvest time. Misc. comments: Would like to find a way to setup a blumat system for my next grow. I am not sure if I have space in my grow area though.

~Week 16/ 106-112 days from sprout ~VPD: VPD has been way off the past few weeks ~DLI: 30-35 DLI ~Feeding: Done feeding for this cycle ~Watering: Every 3 days Day 106 notes: Looks good today. Nothing done, except for a few pictures being taken. Next watering will be on day 108. Day 107 notes: Same as yesterday. Only pictures taken. Plants do however seem to be hard into fade as previously mentioned. It seems like you can see the color difference from yesterday. Watering tomorrow. Day 108 notes: Defoliated and watered today. Watered with Saponin extracts. Should be minimum 8 days before harvest. Max of 22. Looking good and the fade is beautiful. Day 109 notes: Just pictures taken today. Looking beautiful. Really looks like you can see the changing of seasons. I also FINALLY touched up the clones today. I trimmed them each down to around 5 inches, and removed any unhealthy leaves. The tallest ones were around two feet tall. Day 110 notes: Looking pretty good. Just took pictures today. Humidity was a bit high as well so that is something to keep in mind. Will be watering and defoliating tomorrow. Day 111 notes: Looking good today. I watered today, defoliated, and checked the tent. Minimum I would give these plants another 7 days, max I would give them around 21 days. They are looking really good and ripe as of right now. They are also starting to fall over. Day 112 notes: Looking good today. Can be harvested in 4 days at the soonest and 18 days at the latest. Plants are looking and smelling great End of week summary: Pretty good week overall. Keep getting closer and closer to harvest with each passing day. Misc. comments: Really need a hemp trellis net for my 3x3 and my 4x4. These Nylon nets can be a pain and are kind of ineffective at times.

~Week 17/ 113-119 days from sprout ~VPD: Off. Temp is high and humidity is low. Lights moved up to lower temp. Low humidity is good because I do not have the best airflow ~DLI: DLI is 30 for most of the canopy and 35 at the tops of the tallest flowers ~Feeding: Done feeding for cycle ~Watering: Every 3 days Day 113 notes: Looks good today. Fade is going well and plants are looking healthy. Good colored leaves, and nice and ripe buds. I can still see the buds fattening by the day which means that they should have at least 1 week left if not 2. Today is day 53 of flower. I would harvest in 3 days at the earliest, and 17 days at the latest. Right now I am leaning towards the 17 days rather than 3. These plants could still use some time IMO. Day 114 notes: Looks good today. I watered, and also checked the trichomes. Harvest is nearly here. The Blueberry has some amber and mostly cloudy, the Right-side Blue Cheese has like 3 amber total and is mostly cloudy, and the other Blue Cheese has no amber, but is completely cloudy. I could harvest now but I would prefer to wait until the front middle Blue Cheese has at least a few amber. Day 115 notes: Looking good. Humidity is pretty high rn at about 55% during daytime and sometimes close to 70 at night. That is a major issue this deep into flower, so I will be chopping within the next week. I believe 6 days from now, on day 121,or maybe day 120 to make it an even 2 months veg and 2 months flower. Day 116 notes: Did not check today. Day 117 notes: Day 118 notes: Day 119 notes: End of week summary: Misc. comments: Definitely a bit worried about the VPD at this point, day 115. The humidity is pretty high, and my airflow is pretty terrible. That = mold. I need to find a way to either increase the airflow, or decrease the humidity, and I need to do it pretty fast.

Alright guys. This will be a nice one. I really enjoyed growing this strain. I grew two of the same variety, and they turned out extremely similar phenotypically. The plants grew very easily and well in VEG. They started out nice in flowering stage but they started showing signs of N deficiency. Later on, due to the N deficiency, they started showing K deficiencies. At this point they went down the rabbit hole and were messed up lol. That is grower error though. Had I given an N boost before transition, the plants would have been perfectly healthy the whole grow. Now this was my first experience growing photoperiod plants. I did not train properly. I should have aimed for a far more even canopy, and I should not have had so many lowers. I defoliated way too carefully before transition. Pretty much everything except for the time 5 nodes should be removed. This way you will only have uppers. I am going to do some more research on training techniques. The manifold technique stands out to me. This way you get 32 colas per plant times 4 plants which comes to 128 large colas. 7 grams per large cola CONSERVATIVELY and you are looking at about 896 grams. That being said, I predict I will net about 840 grams of useable dry bud from these plants. I will keep updating this as I see fit. I am checking the plants everyday for airflow and to refill the humidifier. Also decided to chop because both plants had about 90-95% milky trichomes, and about 5-10% amber trichomes.

Initial review; This plant was the single easiest plant I have ever grown, and the most resilient. I snapped one of the main branches off early on its life cycle, and reattached it. It grew huge. The plant itself was the most unique of all I have grown. The plant grew very easily in VEG, even after having one of its founding branches snapped off. During flower, this was the ONLY plant in the tent that did not have a terrible time with deficiencies. About two weeks before harvest the plant started showing a K deficiency, but at that point it is not a super big deal. The flowers ended up being beautiful in the way they contrasted with the leaves. I do have clones of this strain, as well as the Blue Cheeses that I grew.
