Jan 5 2023
Day 1 and the Seeds are just wet. The goal and Wish, is to have a female of each strain germinate and be raised for 3-4 weeks before switching to 12 hour sched.
Pain Relief for a Bone on Nerve issue in my neck is the reason behind this Kind of Unplanned grow. No time like the present.
Sunshine DayDream #2 and
Sunshine #4 x Bye-Ya are the two strains involved.
And Yes, I rattled each batch of seeds around in this Film-canister, lined with sand paper, prior to soaking them.
No Obvious / visible damage was seen on the seed structure, so it has begun
Jan 6th
- all seeds were placed into Wet Paper Towels and placed in an Inflated plastic bag. This bag was wrapped in a towel and is warm
I’ll check on it ~ 6, 12 hours, but 48 hrs is the target
- substrate for the 5 Solo cups:
•4 solo HP promix Myc
•2 solo Worm Castings
•1 solo perlite
•1/2 solo Kelp
•1/4 Solo DynoM
- it gets wetted down later and will be ready on the 8th
7th
- tent is prepped and the Soil has been Moistened, Cups filled and all Tent systems are running.
8th
- tails visible on all 5 with 3 of them protruding from shells. Giving them till this evening.
- Replaced the Paper Towels. Noticed there was a slight discolouration. There is name for it… the bacteria (i’ll find it) and its a precaution only
- Back in the bag
9th noonish
- tails visible; Sunshine Daydream tails are out, SS x B-Ya tails have not moved in 48hrs. All (5) seeds planted.
- 2 more SS x B-Y are being put in water as a back-up just in case. I wish for One Female of each Strain in the big picture.
** of course, my last act of the day was to check on the kidz. And you guessed it, Knocked the strongest candidates cup off the platform into the corner of the tent. Soil everywhere.
It only took a minute to find the seed, and I put Most of it back together. SSDD#2 and the “best-specimen” gets a 2nd chance. Ohmmm
12th
- first thing this morning SSDD#2 seed2, popped above ground. And Seed3 is right behind her. (Wrong)
15th
- it took the rescue bean of Sunshine #4 x Bye-Ya to break ground and get involved. There is now 1 seedling from each strain above ground… see where that gets us!
17th
- 4 seeds later, Bye-Ya were the final words. The cotyledon leaves never did open. I removed the membrane after the shell popped. Nuff foolin
- forward with Sunshine Daydream #2; germ day 6
18th
- 3 capfuls of water per day, till tonight. 70ml of water fed tonight, with some basic nutes
Ppm 390 pH 6.2
-last day of Germ
Day 1 of week 1, Jan 19th, 2023
- day 8 above ground, 2nd set of leaves is out and established
- last nite basic Nutes were added to a watering for the first time
- BudBusterPro will be the product used in conjunction with a Foliar application, to aid Nutes in getting the job done
- 2ml/8oz is the ratio used. I made a real small amount; re one plant short-life when Mixed…
- no Roots visible in Cups soil yet. But it was solid enough, to warrant a transplant. Feeding in a circle, around the young plant begins tomorrow.
21st
- day 3 since transplant and watering. She (fingers-crossed) will be fed at Lights-On, 110 ml in a Circle around the Plant, not on it.
This gets the roots moving outward to the Liquid/Nutes, now that its got some ground to cover
22nd
- you can see the 2nd and 3rd leaves at the First-node! Ya-Baby, its taking-off: pics taken, up shortly
23rd
- feeding and watering when the lights come on. ~ 150 ml as above, keep it light and simple right now.
25th
- last day of week 1 Veg
- 2.8 L pot so the food/water volume today hits 250ml (~10% pot size)
-Nutes today at Lites-On, next meal on 28th. Foliar Tomorrow
Jan 26 week 2 begins
- Foliar treatment #2 at 10:58 a.m., just b4 lights-out; BBP
- steady growth last week, Nutrients start on 28th, she was fed basic goods yesterday, again. (Root Builder, Medi-one, B-Vital)
29th
- i’m a day late! 240ml of Water/Nutes for breakfast
30th
- true leaf and cotyledon were clipped-off. They were wrinkled and yellowing
Feb 1st
- fed 240ml at lites-on
- preparing soil for up-pot this weekend. Slid the misses out of her Pot and saw Roots encircling the Substates sides. Nothing out the bottom. Todays feed will help get that area populated.
- Cal-Mg and Rapid Start added
Feb 2nd
- welcome to week 3 of Veg
- hoping to see a jump in activity this week, its nice to see the beginnings of node 4 starting to grow vertical.
- there is a kind of damage happening at the end of 1st Nodes Leaf. Since I noticed it a week ago, I have treated it as a Cal/Mg type of deficiency, and have now incorporated those elements into the feedings. If anybody has an Opinion I am always open to suggestions if you think its something else. Cannot make it go away now, might as well solve it...
- plant had a good feed yesterday. Later this week, it may get up-potted to its final pot. We'll see how the Roots look when we slide it out next.
- Foliar application at Lights-out earlier today
- fed 250 ml yesterday (feb 1)
- last day of week 3, Foliar Spray of BBP at lites-out tomorrow a.m. ONWARD
3rd
- i slid the plant out of the 2.8L pot to check the Steady growth of roots, which was confirmed, but there was a little Funky odour in the air.
Watered a couple of days ago, I slid Her into the prepared, final 5 gallon fabric bag. Hopefully it dries quicker and sets the roots to continued growing.
She is off-centre because I’m going to Not Top or Fim, just going to lay her sideways when the times right and grow horizontally.
6th
- today will see 500ml feed into the new substrate surrounding the plant
- solid growth from the plant, new shoots at the Nodes
- white clover has been added to the substrates surface
8th
- starting to brew nutritional Tea for a good feeding tomorrow
- started shaping the main-stalk yesterday ~ 45 degrees and this morning got it pretty close to 90 degrees. Laying her out flat so the whole plant grows UP. Thats the plan anyway… using plastic, branch-bending pieces this time round.
Feb 9th
- BBP foliar application at Lites-out.
-nutritional Tea brewing for this afternoon’s Lunch
- main branch bent close to 90 degree bend, training has begun for a flat plant
- nite-time temps are 2.5c degrees cooler than Day-time temps, for 4 of the 5 dark hours. Half hour warm-up before lites-on. Half hour cool-down at lites off
- White Clover has begun to sprout on the Surface
- 600ml of Tea for dinner
- LST may have accidentally become HST, since I noticed the actual Kink on the underside of the Bent main-stem. I yanked the plastic gizmo (fail: at that application, so low) and have rested the horizontal main stem on a Cork, and secured the main-stem with some lateral support.
10th,
-lite intensity is increasing, plants on the floor. TS-1000 at 75%. Maintaining 2c difference between room temp and top leaf temp. RH% 66
- definite growth all along the plant
12th
- will see just a Water-feed next, pH balanced with a Calcium supplement. Re: Food - Food - Water cycle
- sprayed plant with a 2% hypochlorous acid (disinfectant aka face wash lol)
Friend noticed a fungal strain; Alternaria, on the yellow portion of my Crispy 1st node leaf. The leaf I was hanging onto doh. Gone/Done. Its a simple solution to something he saw. Sprayed well, should be done deal
- the change in the support you see around the base of the main stalk, is due to finding that the branch-bending gear had simply kinked the main-stem. (should not have used such a tiny radius…)
- Today, image #15, shows the growing Bulge and splitting skin as the stalk swells around the 90 degree elbow.
13th
- manifold is taking shape as this plant begins to take-off. And it is consistently 4-5 cm off of the ground, all foliage and branches will be directed outward and upwards
- starting a Tea for Dinner tomorrow or next day. Increasing Volume accordingly. Target is 750-800ml Tea. (Then a big Water-feed and Lights out next week)
- Kelp Meal added to mixture that is brewing. It will pump up the PPM a bit, tba. 395 ppm => ?
14th
- significant meal tonight when the lites come back on; 1000ml Tea @ 890 ppm + CaliMag, 6.2 pH
- un-pinning the plant so I can water accurately Outside the original plants foot-print. Goal is to get Roots extending outward for moisture
- plan is to switch to Flower in week 6; as soon as the auto (jack herer) throws a Pistil…
15th

** same method as LegacyMarketfarm
- able to identify 7 nodes on the plant this a.m.
