3 Strains, Living Organic Soil, 2x4 tent

The CherryLand is looking gorgeous with some pink and red hues. The LLOG started off a bit mutated but it is growing out of it.

Chugging along. The CherryLand is looking awesome and is growing the fastest. LLOG is getting symmetrical. The Mimosa x Orange Punch babies are above ground. I used Solo cups. I painted 4 black and have used clear inner Solo cups so I can check root progress. I wish I had been prepared to do this with the other to as I just used some pots I had on hand. Whoops. 1/10/2023 - Watered the LLOG. I am happy with the growth rate of the CherryLand. The LLOG is a bit slower. The new MxOP's are starting out well.

Morning 1/12/23, The CherryLand was a bit droopy this morning. I always want the leaves looking like they are reaching for their God and giving praise. The LLOG looks better every day. You can start to see the Indica influence with those fatty blades on the 3 sets. I can't wait to see the 5 sets fan out. The baby Mimosa x Orange Punches seem a bit slow. I watered the larger MxOP. Morning 1/13/23, I figured out why the CherryLand is a bit droopy in the mornings. I am checking on them minutes after the light comes on. It looks like the LLOG and one of the MxOP look perky and are morning people. The CherryLand and the other MxOP are not morning people and need a bit of time to wake up in the morning. I am noticing their attitudes early in life. The LLOG is a dog who aims to please but has a missing eye, a limp and a bite out of one of its ears but you still cannot help to love her. The CherryLand is an independent cat who does what she wants when she wants but with patience and a tender touch begins to purrr and rub her forehead on you. I noticed the two 3 prongs on the LLOG are actually 4 prongs! I'll capture a photo when that set unfurls. Pedro : They're pretty good, except for one little problem. That little guy right there. He is nipple number five. A good dairy cow should have, like, four. Morning 1/18/23, All 3 that I want to finish have been transplanted into 5 gallon Grassroots Living Soil Pots and filled with Build A Soil Living Organic Soil - Oly Mountain Compost. I am not happy with the CherryLand. It seems to have been affected by the transplant and has curled a bit. The LLOG and MxOP seem to be doing ok.

Evening 1/19/23, I am not happy with how these look. The lower single blade and triple blade leaves are all looking droopy and curled downward.

Morning 1/24/23 - The CherryLand and Larry's Lemon OG always droop a bit in the mornings. I am trying to heat things up at night but it's difficult in the basement. I keep making little adjustments to dial it in. I currently have 6" carbon filtered intake on a ladder about 5' up with a radiant heater under it. It has raised the night temps in the tent. The Mimosa x Orange Punch is starting to gain some momentum. I transplanted when roots were just hitting the bottom of a solo cup. I waited too long to transplant the other two. Their roots were wrapped in the bottom of those mistakenly used square pots. A part of the LLOG root ball completely broke off. I am surprised it doesn't seem too hurt by it. Evening 1/24/23 - TOPPED CherryLand! The branches are really starting to form on the Cherry. I also removed the single blade leaves. They were about >50% yellow and the branches from them are the largest. The LLOG is growing. The MxOP is growing fast. I'd say it is growing the best of all three. It is 12 days behind but the race is on! Getting temps a bit more dialed in. Evening 1/25/23 - The CherryLand is perky in the evenings and spoopy in the mornings. Added picture showing it giving praise to the light god. I really like its shape. The branches from the single blade node are touching under the first 5 blade leaves. They'll be poking thru soon. Morning 1/26/23 - Watered all 3 and fed for the first time by adding 1/2 teaspoon of Recharge beneficial bacteria. Evening 1/29/23 - Watered and added 1oz/gal Organic Fermented Sprouted Quinoa, used 2 gallons of water. It smells worse than a b-hole and very unpleasant. Topped the LLOG. It is getting tall. The lifted fabric pots on the drain table with the modified rack to allow for drainage from all 3 pots to flow into a singular bucket for both ease of emptying and cleanliness has been working perfectly. I added a few clover cover crop seeds hither and thither. Morning 1/30/23 - Photos taken. It seems like they like eating poo. Morning 1/31/23 - Topped the Mimosa x Orange Punch. The LLOG is getting really tall comparatively. Will have to put extra effort into LST with it. The CherryLand is getting bushy. It has dense green leaves with red hues on stems. It's branching is surprisingly even and dense. I am very excited with the growth and potential for these three cultivars while working with this new medium. So far, living organic soil seems to be crushing it. Beneficial nematodes and Enzymes will soon be added. I will also add some micronutrients before the flip. Morning 2/1/23 - The branching on the CherryLand is so robust, even and symmetrical it is amazing. I helped all of the branches poke out through the fingers on the leaves. They seemed to immediately turn darker green and the small leaves on them fanned out. The LLOG seems to be getting bigger as a whole but branching is not as vigorous. Mimosa x Orange Punch is looking pretty. Evening 2/1/23 - Lifted each and they felt very light weight. Watered with Build a Soil Big 6 and Recharge. Used 2 gallons.

Evening 2/2/23 - The CherryLand is strange. The Cherry has yellowed tips of the top newest growth. I think it's just hungry for life. The Lemon is the tallest. The little baby clover covers can be seen. Morning 2/4/23 - Watered using most of the Build A Soil schedule; Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja Extract 1/8 tsp, Rootwise Mycrobe Complete 1 tsp, Big 6 Micros 1/4 tsp, Craft Blend 1/8 cup top dress, Horticultural Aloe Vera 1/4 tsp, Rootwise Enzyme Elixir 5ml, Fish Shit 5ml. Evening 2/4/23 - Did some defoliation of the lowest stuff not getting light and touching the soil to promote more airflow as well. Evening 2/5/23 - Took photos. Watered lightly with pure water. I am impatient and feel they are not growing fast enough. The yellow tips on the Cherry tell me it wants more food. Morning 2/7/23 - Added 3 types of Nematodes: Heterohabditis bacteriophora, Steinernema carpocapsae, and Steinernema feltiae as a preventative measure. Watered with pure water including Hb, Sc and Sf. It looks like all 3 had a really good night of growth. Branching on all three is getting nicely developed.

Evening 2/8/23 - Defoliated the lower fans on all 3. I left the top two fans on the Lemon and Mimosa. Added an Exhale CO2 bag to the tent. Morning 2/9/23 - Watered using most of the Build A soil Pre-Bloom feeding schedule. I used 2 oz/gallon of fermented sprouted quinoa. God it smells horrible. I think one more week then the flip begins. Evening 2/9/-23 - I removed the last two top pairs of fan leaves on the Lemon and Orange. I started LST on all Three by pulling down the top two branches. The Cherry got it's top 4 branches pulled down. Photos taken. Morning 2/10/23 - All of the pulled down tops were aimed back up this morning so I readjusted and tightened them back down. The MimosaOP is looking rather lush and I like it's structure. The Cherry is still robust. The Lemon wants to get tall. Evening 2/11/23 - (The Flip! <-- WRONG! see 2/14) I watered with recharge, spread BAS Craft Blend, Top Dressed with BAS Build a Flower and added some more clover crop cover seeds. Took photos. Day 2/12/23 - Added the Mars-Hydro UR-45 UV and IR light system. I placed each bar about 6 inches away from the SP3000 at the same height. I gave the plants a small dose of UV and IR at noon for about 10 minutes. The plan is to give them a dose of about 30 minutes at high noon during the formation of trichomes. Morning 2/13/23 - Watered using the BAS schedule for Bloom Transition, added 3ml Fish Shit, air bubbled for 24 hours, used 1 gallon, added 2oz Fermented Sprouted Quinoa just before watering. I really very much dislike the smell. I am going to start watering more frequently with less water with occasional fresh water to run off about once a week. I'm still adapting to Organic and have no idea what I'm doing, just watching, listening, and trying new things to see what works well for me. Morning 2/14/23 - I made a mistake. I do not know for how long but my timer was switched to the On position not the Timer position. I have been running them under 24 hours of light for God knows how long. I hope I accidentally hit the switch when I flipped to 12/12 3 days ago. I caught this last night. Last night was the first 12 hour dark period. 🙏 Now the true flip has occurred I watered using 1 gallon of the BAS Bloom Transition, with Fish Shit and Molasses added. I removed the two lowest branches on the Cherry and Lemon. All plants now have 8 branches. The Mimosa is really taking off. I think it has the best root structure.

I grew small on purpose just to get my green thumb back and get a quick turn around. My current grow I am doing longer veg, fewer plants, bigger harvest.

Morning 2/15/23 - Watered with pure 24 hour air bubbled water, used 2 gallons. Started another Tea with the BAS Bloom Transition schedule + Fish Shit and Molasses. The Mimosa x Orange Punch is becoming the largest. I started using IR at 10 minutes before light on and 5 minutes after along with 5 minutes before light out and 10 minutes after. If I am coherent, upright and available I will also try to dim the SP3000 to about 20% 15 minutes before light out and then raise it to about 65% 15 minutes after light on. Also, if available at about Noon I will raise the SP3000 to 75% and give them a dose of IR/UV for about 10 minutes to simulate high noon intensity. I would call this LST or NST, for Natural Stress Training. Another form of NST I use is to shake the plant and bend the branches as often as possible. Morning 2/17/23 - Watered with BAS Schedule, added molasses and bubbled for 48 hours then added Fermented Quinoa Sprout 2oz/gal. The CherryLand is officially female. Calyxes and pistils are popping after only a few days of 12/12. Amazing. I upgraded the Mars_Hydro 2x4 Tent Door. I was getting so tired of tying the door open. Boom, problem solved. Took photos Day 2/19/23 - Watered all 3 with pure water. Probably could have waited. Morning 2/20/23 - Removed some lower leaves and small under branch growth. I am trying to divert most energy to the tops while also using LST to keep tops at a relatively even distance from the light creating an eventual canopy to trellis. I put two adjustable plant benders on the Mimosa x Orange Punch. It's my first time trying them nd I have say I really like them so far. These will help form the structure of the branches better than just pulling them down temporarily. MxOP has the most vigorous growth, is the largest and I must employ the most frequent adjustments to LST. I forgot to mention........drumroll please...........all 3 are confirmed FEMALE! 🙏 The Hunt for Calyxes has been fruitful. And the Hunt for more Calyxes always continues. Stay green and stinky. Morning 2/21/23 - Watered with the BAS Bloom Transition schedule. I added Fish Shit and some Fermented Sprouted Quinoa. Used 1/3 gallon per plant. There was a small amount of runoff. I think I watered a bit too quickly. Morning 2/22/23 - Technically we are on week 9, watered with 24 hour bubbled tap water. Used 1/3 gallon per plant. I think I will be tied to giving them their breakfast every morning.

Day 2/23/23 - Watered with fresh 12 hour air bubbled water and added a 1/2 tsp recharge to one gallon used 1/3 gallon per plant. Took photos. Morning 2/24/23 - I am calling today Day 1 of Flower since calyxes and pistils are popping everywhere and the tops on all 3 have the beginnings of that initial clustered look at the apical meristems. Watered with fresh 12 hour air bubbled water and added a small amount of endomycorrhizae, biochar, kelp, worm castings, and humic acid. I may reduce my light intensity to promote a bit more stretching. I'm happy with the Lemon and Orange but the Cherry is just too stout and short. Evening 2/24/23 - Yes, Day 1 of Flower complete and officially clustered top that is completely more noticeable tonight. The Mimosa x Orange Punch has the fully most clustered tops and is in full stretch mode. She is going really well. The LLOG is also noticeably stretching now. The CherryLand is just starting to stretch a tiny bit. I'm going to let her soil dry out just a bit more. Day 2/26/23 - Watered with BAS Bloom Transition. Added 3ml Fish Shit. Sprinkled Craft Blend. Use 1 gal air bubbled fresh water first, let sit ~ 30 min. Then watered using the air bubbled water with Build A Soil schedule. I noticed a huge lead within hours. I really let the soil get to its driest point so far before watering. The flower clustered tops are really forming and the stretch is full on. The Mimosa is a beast and is getting too big comparatively. Morning 2/28/23 - Water with pure air bubbled water. Gave each 1/3 gallon. The mimosa is a beast and I keep taming the tops down so she is getting wide and taking up more room than she deserves. I am steadily removing lower leaves, small under growth branches and LSTing down any tops that reach too high. I am trying to form an even canopy and keeping the growth hormones to each top as equal as possible. Once the stretch stops the trellis goes in. Morning 3/1/23 - Watered with 1/2 tsp of Recharge per gallon. Used 1/3 gallon per plant. I have been allowing the soil to get too dry. I need to water every 12 hours. I added microbes because the dry soil is making them go dormant. I'm still learning, adapting and growing with them. The LLOG started as an ugly mutant. Throughout the entire veg it seemed the slowest. Now during flower somehow it is building some thicc tops. She is swinging those hips. I can't wait until she starts dripping terps. Evening 3/1/23 - Watered with pure air bubbled water, 1/3 gallon per plant. Removed some lower fans and lower branching growth. Added some plant adjusters to the Lemon. Morning 3-2-23 - Watered with BAS Bloom Transition schedule, added 3ml Fish Shit and 3ml Sprouted Quinoa Ferment, 1/3 gallon per plant. Took Photos

Morning 3/4/23 - Watered using 1/2tsp/gal Recharge. Removed some more lower fans and pathetic hidden nugs. Cleaned the intake carbon filter pre-filter. Day 3/5/23 - Watered using Build A Soil Bloom Transition schedule, added 3ml Fish Shit. The Larry's Lemon OG is producing trichomes. I gave the plants a 10 minute dose of UV at noon. Morning 3/6/23 - Got some new airstones. Watered with pure air bubbled water. 1/3 gallon per plant. Day 3/7/23 - Added some Build A Soil Build A Flower Top Dress. Watered with pure air bubbled water. 1/3 gallon per plant. Took Photos. Morning 3/9/23 - Watered with Build A Soil Bloom Transition schedule. Added 3ml Fish Shit and 1oz Fermented Pumpkin Extract. Used my new watering can. Trichomes are popping everywhere. The CherryLand is even getting trichomes building up on the fan leaf blade junctions. I expect amazing things from her.

Morning 3/10/23 - Watered with fresh air bubbled water. Used 2 gallons, had slight runoff which was intended. The Larry's Lemon OG underside of the leaves are turning pink. It's flowers are getting fat already. Morning 3/11/23 - Watered with Build A soil Bloom Transition schedule, added 3ml Fish Shit and 1oz Fermented Pumpkin Extract. Day 3/12/23 - Added trellis. Found two male pre-flowers on the LLOG lower branch nodes and removed them. Morning 3/13/23 - Watered with pure air bubbled water. Morning 3/14/23 - Watered with Build A Soil Bloom Transition nutrient line up. Added 3ml Fish Shit. Used 1/3 gallon/plant. I am lowering the temperature 1 degree F every night in the tent. I'm almost half way through flower and I'd like to start developing some colors. I'm an idiot. A few weeks ago I got a new iPhone14 and thought the camera was just worse than my iPhone8. Turns out I somehow had photos set to the lowest quality setting which is named "High Efficiency." Lame. I will now have better photos to share. Took photos with some added resolution. Siiiiip, click, Noice! Morning 3/16/23 - Allowed soil to dry to the point of each pot when lifted feeling light. Watered with pure air bubbled water, added 1/2 tsp Molasses, 1/8 tsp Quillaja and 1/4 tsp Recharge. I added two red wiggler worms to each. The Mimosa is a bit yellow and the leaves seem thin and weak. The Larry's is maturing quickly and already putting on weight. I removed some fan leaves that were shading lower bud sites on each. I have done the exact same thing to all 3 and the CherryLand is just lush and amazing. This is a testament to the importance of QUALITY GENETICS. CherryLand was purchased direct from the breeder. Mimosa and Larry's were purchased by Herbies Head Shop in Spain, a 3rd party distributor.

Morning 3/20/23 - I'm not liking the yellow of the Mimosa and it seems to have slowed development. I did a small flush with fresh water of the Mimosa until runoff. Watered all 3 and added 1/2 tsp Recharge. The Cherry has one top that's changed color. The Larry's Lemon OG is getting pink sugar leaf tips near the tops. I got another cheap 2x4 tent for drying as I expect each of these cultivars will be a week apart from each other. It was $40 and is the iPower brand. It stunk like it was straight out of a Chinese chemical barrel. I scrubbed the inside mylar with 409 first, the soap and water and finally a gentle organic cleanser. I'd say 90% of the chemical smell has been removed. I'm glad it gets to sit and degas before I put flowers in it. Morning 3/21/23 - Watered using Build A Soil Bloom Transition schedule. Used 1/3 gallon per plant. Took some trichome shots of the CherryLand and Larry's Lemon OG. The cherry is turning purple already. This makes me think she is getting deeper into flower stage. Colors are starting to really form on the Lemon. Mimosa has a nutrient issue. I can't tell if I have a lock up or a deficiency. She seems to have greened a bit from yesterdays flush and recharge. I hope todays feeding gets her back into gear.

Morning 3/24/23 - Watered with Build A Soil Bloom schedule, added 2oz Liquid Pumpkin Extract. I believe the Mimosa is bouncing back a bit. I've noticed new pistils shooting out and a slightly darker hint of green to the leaves. I purchased a 5 Gallon jug of filtered drinking water from Lowe's. I think my tap water, even air bubbled, is no bueno. Morning 3/25/23 - Watered the CherryLand a bit with pure air bubbled water. Took Photos. Morning 3/27/23 - Watered with pure air bubbled water and added 1/2 tsp Recharge. Morning 3/28/23 - Day 32 of Flower, Top Dressed with Build-A-Flower Top Dress Kit. Watered with pure air bubbled water. Used 1/3 gallon per plant. Took Photos. Morning 3/29/2023 - Watered only the Mimosa x Orange Punch with pure air bubbled water ~1/3 gallon. She felt the lightest. Morning 3/30/23 - Watered only the CherryLand and Larry's Lemon OG with pure air bubbled ~ 1/3 gallon each. They felt the lightest. I want to keep the soil from drying out and try to keep it living but also try to not over water it. I ordered an AutoPot XL 2 pot system for my next grow. I am sick of watering. I went with the 6.6 gallon plastic pots with the airbase and airdome kit. I will be growing 1 x Green House Seed Co. Cheese and 1 x Brothers Grimm Seed Co. Grimm Mints. Morning 3/29/23 - Watered only the Mimosa. She felt noticeably lighter than the other two. The Larry's Lemon OG is looking close to done. It has fattened up nicely and most of the pistils are brown. Will look at trichomes under magnification when I get a few moments to spare.

Morning 4/1/23 - Watered with Build A Soil Flower schedule and added 2oz Fermented Pumpkin Extract and 2ml Fish Shit. The Lemon is getting close. I am thinking one more week. Mid Day 4/2/23 - Watered with pure air bubbled water. Watered until runoff. I think this is the last week for the CherryLand and Larry's Lemon OG. Morning 4/5/23 - They are drinking much less now. The CherryLand was the lightest but I'm going let them go another day. Evening 4/5/23 - Took some closer photos of the LLOG. Posted the clearest one. So close. . Morning 4/6/23 - Watered with pure air bubbled water. The LLOG is so close I gave her one more small drink. I believe I will chop her on Saturday morning 4/8/23. Watered the Mimosa and CherryLand liberally

Morning 4/7/23 - I cannot believe how frosty the nugs of the Lemon and Cherry are. The trichomes have very different qualities between the two plants. The LLOG seems to have a platinum silver frostiness. The LLOG trichomes are oily and dissolve quickly when touched and are sticky. The CherryLand trichomes look wet and sticky but when touched they are hard and crystalized. The trichome heads just roll between the fingers. I've never seen or felt anything like it. Morning 4/8/23 - The Larry's Lemon OG was harvested and hung in the drying tent. I put four Marigold seeds in the soil and watered. I want to turn this 5 gallon living soil fabric pot into a nice flower arrangement for outside. Morning 4/10/23 - The CherryLand was harvested and hung in the drying tent. I moved the Mimosa to the center spot in the grow tent. I watered the Mimosa with air bubbled pure water. Evening 4/11/23 - Watered the three pots. Planted Catnip and Amaranth in one and Marigolds in the other empty. Took photos. Dry tent has an inline fan with carbon filter attached to the duct so that it can push fresh air into the tent whenever RH gets too high. I think the Mimosa has two maybe three more days. I may let the soil go completely dry before harvest.

Morning 4/14/23 - The Mimosas soil is getting really dry. The senescence is kicking in. The nugs are getting fat and frosty. I am a little disappointed about the lack of color on this one but the LLOG and CherryLand came through with amazing colors. I might harvest Mimosa tomorrow morning or maybe Sunday. Morning 4/15/23 - Chopped Mimosa.

I've been smoking on this for over a month now. I love Larry's Lemon OG. I highly, highly recommend this cultivar. Purchased form Herbies Head Shop.

During veg this plant yellowed and I was able to pull out of it. The during late flower the plant just seemed to pause growth. I let this plant go for two weeks longer which I believe helped them mature.
