Cientifikoloko HELLO! First, I want to say that I recently discovered this page and I want to send a shoutout to everyone. I feel proud to share my first grow, which as of today, 2/23/23, is already in the bud fattening phase, and although I'm a bit confused since it's my first grow, I want to share it and keep learning and why not, document all my mistakes, which are many, and help others. FIRST WEEK OF MEDICINAL GROWTH: INTRODUCTION After needing alternative medicine and informing myself by reading several books and watching different conferences online, I decided to plant autoflowering varieties for their speed and due to the climate in my area and my limited space, I opted for a grow with: - Solux 315w lec kit with 315w 3100k cmh bulb to heat the indoor - Cheap kit reflector (the worst I could put) - Probox master cabinet 1x1x2m - 11L pots - Biobizz allmix soil - two oscillating fans - a humidifier - Calimaero Califlow 100mm extractor with a volume of 198 m3/h (very quiet) - planet energy 93 m3/h 26db intractor - digital and analog timers GERMINATION and SEEDS Since this is my first grow, I wanted to try different things, so I decided to try the following seeds (all autoflowering): Royal queen seeds: - Purple queen x2 - Sherbet queen x2 - Mimosa x2 - Royal CBG x1 Free seeds from grow cheap: - GB XXL x2 POTS AND SOIL I prepared the 11-liter pots several days before bringing the seeds and filled them with biobizz allmix and added: - Trichoderma - Mycorrhizae And then activated them with a "first watering" Half of them I germinated in paper towels in a tupper on top of the router, the other half in RQS soil plugs placed in the substrate already in the pot. The ones in the tupper germinated in just one day; I started germinating them at 1 am on December 31, 2022, and the next day I was able to transfer them to pots with the light at minimum 190w. PARAMETERS: HUMIDITY: between 60 and 70% MIN/MAX TEMPERATURE: 16/28 degrees LIGHT 190W light/darkness 20h/4 PH OF GERMINATION WATER and first waterings 5.7 - Day 1 in pot 11:30 PM When I went to check that the seeds weren't too deep, I found that none had germinated in the soil plugs, which is normal with such low temperatures… since the indoor temperature has nothing to do with the soil temperature. I took them out of the soil plugs and put them in tupper in the box with 25 degrees, but now I don't know which is which; we'll see if I figure it out somehow. I also increased the ballast to the second power, to just over 200, to see if it heats the pots because the soil is very cold; maybe lowering the light closer to the pots will solve it, but I think I would need to lower the power; I don't think the germinating seeds can handle all that light. - Day 2 in pot; cotyledons are emerging from the seed in the germinated ones (not soil plug) - Day 3; I optimize timer parameters - Day 4; I activate and configure intraction, extraction, and fan parameters. - Day 5; the six seeds that came out of the soil already have cotyledons and the first pair of leaves; I understand that this is counted from this moment as days of life. No news from the other seeds (soil plug) - Day 6; no changes - Day 7; they are enlarging their leaves and stretching the stem

Cientifikoloko DAY 1 - At noon I raised the light because it was over 28 degrees with the light so low, and I also turned the power down to the minimum. - I noticed that if I keep the humidifier on minimum all the time, the relative humidity is around 70%, but the controller is arriving tomorrow, so it doesn't matter now. - The light, despite being far away, dries the soil a lot. - The extractor: I need to better regulate the schedule; also, when I turn it on, air comes in through the openings cooling the environment, so I think turning it on for about 10 minutes each time is enough to change the air. DAY 3 - I installed a humidity controller - watering - changing general parameters DAY 4 - I lifted the light a bit more around 10 PM since the thermometer shows 28 degrees. - I configured the fan to turn on every 3 hours for about half an hour. In the afternoon, there’s one hour when it will run for an hour. DAY 5 - I added potassium soap and neem oil - There was too much humidity, mist - It seems that even though I set everything to the correct parameters, at some moments the humidity spikes and the temperature does too. - I also added more soil covering the stems so they don't stretch and develop more roots. I had left a lot of margin on purpose in case they stretched too much. They have reacted very well. DAY 6 - Today I received the root stimulator, but I read that it’s from week 2 of growth. - I reconfigured the timers for the fan, extraction, intake, etc. - Today I turned off the light for the first time until 4 PM to see how they react; maybe they need it. While the light is off, I disconnected EVERYTHING, no humidifier, ventilation, or extraction. - I’m going to try to configure the intake, extraction, and fan at the same time; I think that having both intake and extraction on at the same time will renew the air evenly, and the fan will distribute both temperature and air equally throughout the indoor space. - I’ve already set everything to turn on at 4 PM: fan, intake, extraction, light, and humidifier. I’ve noticed that since I opened the window and adjusted the parameters better, they are developing their leaves more and have that fresh green again. I also did everything at once, and I’m not exactly sure if it was that I suffocated them with too much vapor that day or if it was a lack or excess of water, or I don’t know, but now everything is going better. There are three that seem like they’re not coming up, and I think I have to consider them lost… - At 6 PM, I added soil without fertilizers to the pots (light mix biobizz); the soil is moist, but the part that was already in the pots was dry, even though I sprayed and moistened well last night… I will have to use the moisture meter early this morning, and when it’s time to water, use the root stimulator, especially watering in a circle about 7 cm away from the stem approximately, and finally spray water with nothing at 6.5 pH. - Tonight I’ll decide what to do with the seeds that didn’t work. DAY 7 - I removed two of the dead seeds; I can’t find the third one. - I put a sherbet and a mimosa to germinate AT 5:45 PM, ONE HOUR IN WATER AND THEN TO THE TAPER, which are two of the seeds that went bad along with the royal CBG and the GBXXL, and since I don’t know which one survived and which ones didn’t, I’m putting two that I think match the ones that went bad. - Now the temperature and humidity in the indoor space are better, but it still needs to be improved a lot, as it lacks stability and balance, and when the light goes off, it gets too cold, even below 16 degrees. - To germinate this time, I’m doing what I know works: I moisten in a glass for an hour and then to the taper, this time with slightly warm water, covered from light with a cloth, and the taper already placed in the router and covered with aluminum foil to avoid light. I’ll have to check that the temperature doesn’t rise too much. Fingers crossed. THIS TIME I DIDN'T ADJUST THE pH; I only used lukewarm bottled mineral water. - I need to prepare the trichoderma with warm water, and in a few days for watering, I’ll add rooting agent. - I don’t know if I should plant the seeds in cups and then transplant… should I avoid putting them under the light at full strength? I don’t know what to do. - I’m thinking of having the fan running with the humidifier, and when it stops, both should stop… it could be a good idea so that the relative humidity doesn’t concentrate in one spot or rise up but spreads where it needs to. For now, I’ve set the fan to turn on more often with the timer; when it does, I need to raise the fan a bit and not point it downwards so that it doesn’t lower the temperature of the pots and soil, as when it’s moist, it cools down too much. - At 6:23 PM on day 6, I raised the ballast power to double the minimum, 200 and something W. - At 8:15 PM, I see that there’s very little humidity (the extractor and intake are working), so I raised the power of the humidifier, although I left the regulator parameters intact so it stops at just over 60% RH. - I also raised the light a few cm. - I also checked the temperature of the taper, and it seems high on the outside, but it seems fine inside, although a bit lower would be better, but if I remove the lid, the humidity will go away. Should I remove the aluminum foil? - I lowered the humidity again because I didn’t have the fan on with the humidifier, and when the fan stops, the indoor space is completely cloudy. I’m leaving it as before with more fan actions since the ones I had removed at night, I’ve put back. - I watered all the pots, including the two empty ones where I’ll plant the seeds tonight. - I watered them with trichoderma and rooting agent, three packets per two liters and 300 ml per pot, “soak it, soak it!” - I also adjusted the pH before watering to keep it between 5.5/6. - The humidity and temperature seem stable with this last configuration, and although I noticed that humidity rises after a significant watering, I think it’s better to leave it like this. - I don’t think I’ll add more trichoderma, nor rooting agent to the ones that are already developed; I will add it to the ones I plant today in one or two weeks. After this watering, I think it won’t be necessary to water the new germinated ones for at least a week or more… but we’ll see. The soil retains moisture very well in the medium and low areas. - The plants are developing well; I think they are within normal ranges in terms of size, shape, and health, although I notice that the green isn’t completely fresh but a bit dull.

Cientifikoloko Day 8 - The seeds I had to germinate several days later are perfect, they look much better than all the others I germinated (this time there was enough and constant humidity and last time it evaporated) - I raised humidity to 61.5 DAY 9 - The plants have made a huge change in one day!! They are bigger and the inner leaves have grown and are separating from the stem and the cotyledons!! Yuhuu WATERING HAS DONE THEM GOOD!!! It seems better to water well when it's a bit dry than to keep moistening. - I increased the power of the light and also lowered it in height, now I should run the fan for much longer and also increase the operation of the extractor and intake. I will check the temperature when the fan is off to see what it reads and based on that I will modify everything else, tomorrow the minimum and maximum temperature controller arrives. DAY 11 - Watering of 200ml with pH 5.5 at room temperature (between 18 and 20) - I sprayed potassium soap and neem oil and I noticed that after watering and spraying they looked "sick" "sad" with drooping leaves - You can already see that the stem is separating with the two leaves - The newly germinated ones have already shown their leaves and are on a good pace, these two look very good - The parameters I set last time (they are noted) are working quite well, they are fairly stable although sometimes the temperature on the obregon reads almost 28 degrees and the humidity tends to be quite low most of the time, we need to find solutions for the humidity since I believe the correct temperature is that of the good blue meter. DAY Friday 13 - I notice that they are not as well as they should be and it's due to all the mistakes I'm making because of my inexperience, temperature issues, humidity issues with intake and extraction. - They have produced three-fingered leaves although they are still discreet - I watered with biogrow at 1.5ml in 1750ml of water at 250/200ml per pot, but I forgot to adjust the pH and it stayed at 7.5. I need to check what pH to water with fertilizer, maybe I got lucky. - I watered the purple queen with the pH adjusted since I realized before the last watering. pH at 5.5 - I removed 15m of operation per hour from the intake, the temperature will be affected but the humidity will be better regulated… let's cross our fingers… we’ll see how we solve the setup for everything to be stable and correct (temperature, humidity, etc.) - I'm happy my girls are growing!!! 🌱☘️ DAY 14 - Today they made a huge change! They have produced more leaves, and the three-fingered leaves have grown a lot and another node is growing with another pair of leaves coming out, brutal! MISTAKES: - Temperature fluctuations of more than 10 degrees - Not adjusting pH - PAY ATTENTION TO THE BIOBIZZ CHART, I SHOULD NOT HAVE FERTILIZED SO EARLY!

Cientifikoloko DAY 15!! Watering day - What just happened!!! The seed that got lost in the pot and that I thought was dead has sprouted!!!! After 15 days????? Next to the freshly planted sherbet 🌱 I had no choice but to transplant, carefully trying not to break the roots of either, but the new one had a really really big and strong root!!! I don't know if I harmed any of the plants but I've pampered them a lot, I put all mix in a small pot, made a deep hole, separated the small seedling from the sherbet, and placed it in the small pot. Right after, I adjusted the pH of the new water with rooting agent, 1ml per liter, one liter. And I watered a bit on top, when it got dirty with soil I had to spray it with the same water… we'll see if I did it right, if they make it, it would be amazing!!! A seed that had been buried for over 15 days and didn't germinate back then! Now I have to figure out what seed it was, impossible but we'll see. - I also watered all of them and a bit the sherbet seedling from which I removed the little plant. DAY 16 - Today the plants are giving off a strange smell… it smells a bit like weed and fertilizer… it's a weird smell but I find it pleasant. - I took the extraction tube to the window - I moved the fan and the humidifier to the corner by the opening door under the humidity regulator so that the fan blows directly at the humidifier's mist. - I sprayed the plants with water. - I can almost see them grow, they're going full speed! - Both sherbets are doing well, the big one has slightly droopy leaves and the small one is continuing normally, they are all growing at a good pace. - The mimosa that has stayed small and dark, I think it might be because it's so close to the humidity… I also notice it strangely darker than the rest… - 22:19h I had to apply neem oil and potassium soap because I saw a bug in the middle pot that looked like a spider but I don't know what it was. I sprayed it well. - They already smell a lot like weed… not that strong weed smell but it does smell strong already. DAY 17 - I put the filter on because it was smelling a lot like weed, it wasn't that strong weed smell yet but the whole house smelled. - I accidentally sprayed with potassium soap and neem oil, I just wanted to refresh the little plants but it’s okay, it was a little. - They have grown, still at a constant pace and they look very nice and splendid. - Today it's time to water because the first 4/5 centimeters of soil aren't showing moisture on the detector. I will water with plain water. DAY 18 21h watering - I watered with pH 5.9 water about 300ml per plant and sprayed the leaves a bit. - I noticed that the xxl is kind of tilted and the wind from the fan is hitting it hard like this… I don't know whether to leave it like that or help it. - The small ones are growing at a good pace, I’ve moistened the soil a bit, I’m watering them more and more away from the trunk. - When I went to check on the plant, it had turned its leaves back to the correct position by itself, it's incredible. - An hour later I decided to raise the height of the fan, better this way because it was already hitting it directly. DAY 20 watering - Around 18h I watered 500ml per plant with 1ml of biogrow per liter with a pH of approximately 6.2 - I also sprayed water with pH 6.0 - They reacted well, they have a very fresh and beautiful green - They have grown a lot, they keep surprising me - I also gave each pot a better space, I’m back to having 9 and I don’t know if I’ll be able to organize the space well, ideally it’s 8 to be able to place the bottles and the humidifier and when necessary the dehumidifier… we’ll see how I organize and if I do LST on any. - The purple queen must be about 30cm tall, the internodal distance of this one is longer than the rest although the other purple queen is also doing the same and although it’s a bit smaller they are very similar. - Today I learned that the internodal distance depends on light fluctuations, that is the main factor although there are others, the temperature difference with the light off is also the most important. DAY 21 PROBLEMS - THE LIGHT WENT OUT from 11:30 UNTIL 20H - When the indoor temperature rose, I did a foliar watering. - Now I’m praying that these hours of cold below 16 degrees and extra darkness haven’t affected them.

Cientifikoloko DAY 23 4:51 am - Today I visited the plants three times, (I'm in love 😍) I pruned the first node, that is, the first leaves that come out which are a single leaf, I also removed cotyledons (not from all) - I will keep doing the same, watering with fertilizers, watering without fertilizers although maybe it’s too much fertilizer per week… they are starting to drink a lot of water. - They respond very well to everything and are very healthy - The changes are very noticeable, the side stems are already separating a lot and they keep growing, they continue to grow upwards and branching out, they have grown very wide and that’s very good, they are very leafy and bursting with health, I think I’m doing well. - I need to see how much water I need to give them at each change since they grow a lot and very quickly and each time they need more water and I’m not clear on how much, for now, I will give them another half a liter each. 5:00 PM WATERING - I prepared 1 ml of biogrow per liter in three liters and watered half a liter per pot (the six on top) the pH at 6.0 - For the other three pots below, I prepared 1 ml of rooting agent per 1L and set the pH to 5.7 - For the two pots below, the sherbet and the mimosa, I gave them approximately 400 ml each with the rooting agent - For the little one, the last to germinate, that mysterious seed that took more than 15 days to appear, I watered it with the rooting agent until I soaked the pot completely, without overdoing it since it’s still very small and I distributed the rest among the other two pots - The pH of the spray water I sometimes use for foliar watering is at 5.7 pH - They continue to progress healthily and strongly, and I notice longer stems curving upwards. - I need to fertilize only once a week, maximum twice, and if I do it twice, I have to leave a considerable time gap for the plant to assimilate since I’m realizing that I might be over-fertilizing - I raised the ballast power to 315w but the temperature in the grow room exceeds 30 degrees… then the good one, the blue one, is approximately 27 degrees but the leaves must be at those 30 degrees and I’m worried, I don’t know if I should lower it again. DAY 24 - I noticed that the leaves were turning black at 10 PM, and I read that it could be due to potassium deficiency but there are several plants like that, so I decided to lower the ballast power because it surely has a lot to do with it. (Warning to readers: it wasn’t just the temperature, but also the humidity) - I also watered the two plants below with 250 ml with half a ml of biogrow to see how they react. - I also read that it could be due to lack of phosphorus or because oxygen isn’t getting in well and CO2 will be solved by opening the window and not closing it and adding the flowering fertilizer? DAY 25 WATERING - Today I placed the exhaust fan in the window - I also watered with plain water 800 ml for pots 1, 2, 3, and 4 with pH at 6.2, pots 5 and 6 were watered with 600 ml, and pots 7 and 8 with 400 ml - I’m letting the little one dry for transplanting - I moved them a bit to improve their space - The changes are noticeable every day - Pots 1, 2, 4, and 6 have already shown their sex, they already have white hairs, pots 3 and 5 don’t seem to have yet, I will keep a close eye on pot 3 DAY 27 3 AM - I transplanted the little one into a 4L fabric pot and watered both foliar and soil with the spray just a little bit. - I raised the temperature again because having the window always open and being at zero degrees at night there’s enough margin to raise it. - At 7 AM I checked and they are at 71 degrees Fahrenheit and just over 60% humidity - I love this game! - They continue to progress by leaps and bounds, they have more hairs and longer ones, longer branches, everything is more lush… tutto va bene 7 PM - I went to check on my girls and they are doing very well, at a good temperature of 75.5 degrees Fahrenheit and 50/60% humidity - The little transplanted plant is doing very well, I watered it again with the spray - The soil is still moist so it seems that everything is fine with this setup of an open window, closed room door, and intake, exhaust, fan, and light - Still, I decided to modify the intake and exhaust for a better balance of oxygen/nitrogen and temperature, I set an intake action of 15 minutes every 6 quarters of an hour (an hour and a half) - Little by little I’m adapting and improving the optimal parameters for each new stage and nothing I’ve read has served as an exact guide but only as orientation since my conditions have been somewhat particular and my knowledge null. I’ve made many mistakes. DAY 28 WATERING - Today I watered the plants because the soil was quite dry. - I watered with 1 ml of biogrow per liter, it was approximately 4L divided among the 6 plants on top, maybe more than 4L since I watered 700 ml per plant for the three on top, then 600 ml for the three in the middle and 200/300 ml distributed among the other three at the bottom, all with a pH of 6.2 and the plants below were watered without fertilizer, just water. - They drank it all perfectly, and nothing dripped underneath, except for number 6 which drained a tiny bit but nothing. - They don’t stop growing, and I would say they are also starting to flower, even if it’s minimal but there’s one or two that are already flowering, or so I think. - THEY ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL!! - The temperature has risen a bit and I don’t know why DAY 30 WATERING - Today I saw that a couple of plants were wilting, with the top leaves drooping sadly I thought it must be the humidity. Because watering is not possible - A lot of humidity is created when I water - I activated the extractor and the intake for much longer, but I did it quickly without balancing both. - The soil is very dry and they are already very big and I have to water 1L or 1.1L in the others 800 ml and the smaller ones 500 ml, just two waterings only with water and after that, I will have to put the first flowering fertilizer 10:30 PM - I watered with pH 6.2 1L for pots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 and with 800 ml for pots 7 and 8, the last one was done by eye but I watered it quite a bit at different times. - The water temperature was cold - I raised the small pot so it gets better light since it looks like it’s going to be a good plant due to its branching at such an early stage, but it’s strange since it took 15 days to germinate - The next watering will also be just water - I accidentally broke leaves while watering, watering is complicated with so much foliage - I changed the intake and exhaust parameters and at night I set it to less frequent… - By changing the parameters, the temperature has dropped sharply to 69 degrees F and 19 in the grow room that is on the floor in the shade, I need everything to be more constant and there’s no way. Pots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 are showing their sex and I don’t know if they are entering flowering, they have a lot of white hairs and more and more in different places and longer. MISTAKES: - Anticipating with flowering fertilizers when it wasn’t time - Parameters neither stable nor optimal - Watering temperature POSITIVE ASSESSMENTS: - I’m learning how to water - I’m starting to realize that the parameters and their fluctuations affect very negatively and that in autoflowers it costs dearly

Cientifikoloko DAY 31 Plant 3, which is the purple, looks a bit sad. I think it’s the humidity because there’s neither excess nor lack of watering, but I don’t know what could be wrong… - I think I should change the humidifier and get a taller one with more capacity and better direction - The plants are already very bushy, and the lower parts are struggling to come out and get to the light, but in this grow, I’m not going to do LST and will only do minimal “pruning.” - I just read that the leaves can be sad due to a lack of potassium and phosphorus or due to overwatering, so does it lack potassium and phosphorus? DAY 1 10am - I went to check on them, and the purple was very, very droopy, A LOT, and the rest were starting to look that way too, so I decided to change the configuration of the extractor and intractor so they activate less because I understand they were “drowning.” The extractor will run for 15 minutes every hour, and the intractor about the same. - 6pm - It’s incredible how the plants are doing; it’s crazy how much the inner stems have grown and the volume they’ve reached in two days, plus almost all are in pre-flower. - I watered the little one, and tomorrow or the day after, I’ll water again, and I think I’ll only add flowering nutrients to see how they react. - I reconfigured the extraction and intraction since there was 70% humidity, which is too much at this stage; I need to control all this better. The fan is running full time at power 1. - I think that during the two hours everything is off, I should turn on something to move the air for a while, but it will drop the temperature too much…. I’ll turn on the fan every 15 minutes, then I’ll configure it, and maybe I’ll add some intraction and extraction. DAY 2 6:15pm - Today when I went to check on the plants, the purple and some others, but especially the purple, looked very sad and wilted. After eating, I prepared the watering: 1L each with pH 6.2 and 1ml of biobloom and 1ml of topmax, and for the smaller ones, 1ml of biogrow except for the smallest. - While watering, I got a bit distracted and added about half a liter too much to the purple, but it drained well (what the poor thing needed). We’ll see how it reacts; I need to find out if it’s due to a lack of water that it looks like this and if I need to water it more often or if it’s some nutrient issue or something with the water like the EC. It’s very possible that it’s due to the EC or nutrients being blocked or something. - I took out each row of plants to clean the drained water; I need to note how much water each plant drains to better calculate the watering. - They’re starting to need more space, and I can’t remove any… 12:20am - I went to check on the plants when I woke up, and all are doing okay except for the purple, which is turning yellow and still droopy. I don’t know what could be happening; I’ll write to different grows I bought from (gb barato was the only one who replied, and they skimmed my message and answered whatever they wanted, twice, so I played dumb and didn’t insist). - I bought algamic and bioheaven; I think it’s the best to try to recover my purple since whatever is wrong, these “fertilizers” claim to be specifically for recovering sick and stressed plants. - The new fertilizers and the filtered water from the new osmosis jug should definitely help. (I get the water from a natural spring that I know more than one person from my town has won contests watering with that water.) DAY 3 6:15pm - I went to check on the little plants, and they were better than yesterday. The purple is still yellowing, but the leaves are less droopy; still, they’re very dry… I don’t know what to do, keep watering only water or add algamic and bioheaven?? I don’t know. - For now, I won’t do a root wash. - The temperature and humidity are more stable; I lowered the humidity to 50, maybe that has helped the purple recover. - But something doesn’t add up with the new thermo-hygrometer, as the minimums and maximums can’t be the 24h ones since when the lights are off, the indoor drops below 20 degrees. DAY 4 5:30am - There’s too much humidity; the indoor shows 60% humidity; something is not right. I don’t know if it’s that the fans are activating less often or if the cold is causing the soil humidity to be higher… I need to fix it. - I’ll set the extractor to activate once an hour and something similar for the intractor. - Number 6 is bending because it hasn’t been hit by the wind and the stem hasn’t strengthened. 4:00pm - With the lights off, the humidity has reached almost 80%; it’s crazy, and that, along with the light at 315w, may also have been a reason for what’s happening to them. - I’ve connected the light to stay on 24h so I can solve the cold (16 degrees) and humidity (almost 80% RH) problems. - I put half a liter of water that I had in the sprayer and half a liter of water from the osmosis jug, all in the mixing jug. I added 0.8 of calmag and 0.8 of algamic; the pH was at 6.5, so I did a foliar spray with the gloria (double-action sprayer), and the rest I distributed directly to the affected plants in the soil, including the purple. Now to observe. DAY 5 without rhyme WATERING 500ml for 4 pots and 1L divided among all the pots. 4am - I put the remaining sand from the bag, spread it among the pots that I thought needed it, the ones that were yellowing. - I watered with pH 6.5 a little to moisten and then watered a bit more to let it filter, with about 500ml per pot, but not all got 500 because I did it by eye; I didn’t want to really water, just prioritize the yellowing ones to see if I can save them. - I also moved the purple; I put it in the corner of the intraction, which would be number 7, lucky number hehe, and the sherbet, which was in that corner, is now in position 6, and the mimosa that was in position 6 is now where the purple was, position 3. - Now it’s time to pray that it recovers and starts smelling and regains its chlorophyll; maybe I should have watered it with algamic and calmag, but I’ll wait for the bioheaven and water everything well next time, although not 1L but a bit less just in case that was the issue. - I also pruned a bit of the purple, two leaves from the bottom, and another plant too; I don’t remember which, and the “dead” seedling’s first two flat leaves as well. - I believe everything will turn out fine. 7:10am - The purples and one more have droopy leaves; there’s too much humidity, a bit over 60%; I don’t know if they’re like this because I watered them or because of the humidity. I think it’s the humidity that, having dry leaves, affects them too much; maybe they’re drowning, I don’t know… I’ve increased the extractor’s frequency; I need to finish configuring it better. - Said and done, I reconfigured the extractor to activate every half hour and in some intervals half an hour on and off. The downside is that the extractor is very powerful and leaves the indoor with just under 40% humidity… - So I’ve cranked up the humidifier; I don’t know what to do to balance the parameters once and for all. DAY 6 6:50am - The purple is still droopy; I went to check on them, and they’re the same, so I prepared the calmag and algamic at a rate of 1ml per liter, a little over 1ml of algamic, and I put it in the gloria and sprayed them quite a bit. By doing this, the humidity shot up to 60% with the door open, and it will rise to over 70/80 with the door closed; the extractor, intractor, and fan will do their thing. I also set the fan to run 24/7. - The temperature is very stable; I need to note this light configuration at x centimeters at x power and the extraction, intraction, and ventilation since it stays between 24 and 25 degrees. - I don’t know if I should water… I think it’s better to wait a day, but I don’t know if I’m doing that wrong and should give them water when it’s supposed to be time, since even if the soil is dry, maybe what’s happened to them is due to overwatering?? I don’t think so, but I’m being careful and following the rule that it’s better for them to be a little thirsty. - When I prepare the watering water, it will be 800ml per flowering pot and 600ml for the vegetative ones; I’ll add bioheaven, calmag, and algamix to all, and then pray! The flowering nutrients will wait until the next watering. Or I could also just give all that to the purple and the other purple, and water the rest with the flowering fertilizers? No, better to treat them more carefully; I don’t want what’s happened to be due to soil salts and fertilizer instead of the light, heat, and humidity. THE PURPLE MEASURES 69cm on day 6/2/23 at 10pm; it’s the tallest, but the others aren’t far behind. DAY 7 - I watered with pH 6.2 and 6.3 except for number 4, which I think I messed up and didn’t measure pH, so it’s probably pH 7.5, which is the pH that the mix gives without lowering pH. - I watered all the ones in the flowering phase, but with these proportions: - 1, 2, and 3 with 800ml of a mix of biobloom, topmax, calmag, algamix, bioheaven, and I think that’s it, everything except biogrow. I put less than 1ml per 2 liters; I added a little to prevent over-fertilization. - And I watered 4 and 7 with: calmag, algamix, bioheaven, and that’s it, but with mycorrhizae or trichoderma; now I don’t know which of the two it was; they were white powders. I watered the purple with 800ml, and 200ml with trichoderma was left over; I added 600ml and watered number 4 without adding anything, I think; now I don’t remember because today I’m quite confused and dizzy; I’m feeling pretty bad from this dizziness I’ve been dragging since the pills and the infiltration. (For this reason, I started cultivating.) - The ones in growth I watered with 0.5 of biogrow per liter and with a minimal dose of everything except the flowering ones, although I think a tiny bit of biobloom fell in, but I think in the end, I didn’t add it. - To water, it helps me to take out the pots that bother me to get my hand in; that way, I don’t break anything because it’s already impossible to water with everything so grown. MISTAKES: - Wrong parameters - Misinterpretations and prolonging stress in the plants by subjecting them to excessive humidity and severe fluctuations over weeks - Over-fertilizing and using flowering fertilizers too early.

Cientifikoloko DAY 8 6:30 - I did a good pruning on number 6, I trimmed the leaves from each node because they were blocking all the future flowers, let's see what happens, it was very beautiful, I hope I didn't mess it up. - Just in case, I didn't prune much on number 5, just a couple of strategic leaves that were blocking, and on number 8, only one leaf. - When I went to record them at 7:00, I noticed that some small leaves on number 6 were drooping, we'll pray. - I realized that for a few weeks I've been having problems with my eyes and vision, I HAVE TO PUT ON MY GROWING GLASSES SINCE IT'S CLEAR THAT THIS LIGHT IS DAMAGING MY VISION. 17:40 - The plants are doing very well, but the humidity is at 70%. 23:20 - They are doing very well, the one in the middle, number 5, has already produced the central flower, at least I think it wasn't there before, now I'll check the videos, and a couple of satellites too. - The usual purple, the weak one measures 72.5cm from the edge of the pot measured with the stick. But it's growing more than 1.5cm per day. DAY 9 WATERING BETWEEN 10 PM AND 11 PM 19:30 - When I entered the room, I caught a slight smell of bud, very little but I think it’s starting to smell a bit. - TODAY WE WATER WITH WATER, calmag, bioheaven, and algamix, and nothing else. - I watered with 1ml per liter of all the above mentioned, except for calmag, half of that compared to the rest. - I set the pH to 6.3 and 6.4 and the vegetatives to 6.1. - I noticed that the bottom part is very dry, we should moisten them all with a plate and let them absorb. I will look into it. - I also realized that the soil is too hard and dry, and that’s why the water falls too quickly and the soil doesn’t absorb it, it drains from the bottom… I think I shouldn’t take so long to water, or I should cover the surface of the pot or I don’t know… but keep the substrate moist for a longer time. - I’ve noticed them doing very well, they continue to grow day by day, the flowering ones and the vegetatives are a spectacle, and they are already flowering, and one is already in bloom. - The one in the fabric pot is a bit small, I think I should water it more often, next time I’ll fertilize it well and water it thoroughly. - Upcoming waterings will be 1.1L in the pots that allow it, and it will be watered very slowly so they absorb everything well and don’t drain more than necessary. The three fertilizers will also be applied to all except the vegetatives. - The next watering will be on February 11 at night. - The Purple measures 75cm, what a madness! DAY 10 - The purple is losing leaves because they are very dry, I don’t know what else could be happening, the other leaves have recovered and are apparently fine, and growing upwards, but the ones that were yellowing are now breaking and crumbling into pieces… - They continue to develop normally, you can tell the buds are growing because the closest ones are starting to cluster at the tip. DAY 11 Watering at around 9 PM - I put the basin with water at a pH of 6.5 and submerged each pot until covering the drainage holes during watering so that the dry soil that never hydrates gets soaked, and then I let them drain on the new super absorbent cloths. - In this watering, I didn’t add calmag. - I watered with a pH of 6.5. - I put the purple separately and added: algamix 1ml, bioheaven 1ml, biogrow less than half a ml, biobloom half, and topmax less than half, all in 1L. - For the other four: the same but a bit more quantity without exceeding 1ml per liter except for biogrow which was only 0.4ml per liter. - For those in recent flowering but still very vegetative: I added more biogrow than flowering without exceeding 1ml per liter and calculating half of the ml. - The leaves of the purple are getting drier each time, I don’t know what it could be… - I moved the light away from the tips of the plants because they keep growing upwards, about 1cm per day. - The rest of the plants are doing very well, and the vegetatives are incredible… what a stretch they are having and how bushy… the mimosa, pot number 8, is going to be huge since it’s very developed and hasn’t even shown sex or very little. - The water that was in the basin at the end measured 6.5 pH and EC of 0950us and was still slowly rising, I think I could have used it perfectly for watering but just in case I threw it away. NEXT TWO WATERINGS ONLY WATER DAY 12 - It’s been many days since I smelled anything in the house or in the plant room, they had lost their smell, but today they smell and smell good, lightly but something is smelling, I think it’s because of the vegetative fertilizer, the biogrow, and I think the flowering fertilizer dries them out because that’s the reaction I’m seeing, I’ll water them with water only for 3 waterings. DAY 13 between 11 PM and 1 AM - I watered all except the purple, only with water at pH 6.5. - I think I see the flowers a little bigger, especially the dark mimosa, but maybe it’s just me. - All continue to grow and develop normally although the leaves are drying out more each time. - This morning, day 14, everything I bought to rescue them (bacteria, fungi, and enzymes) will arrive, and I’ll apply it with water to the purple, I’ll leave the rest as is, I don’t want to mess it up. DAY 14 11 PM - I watered the purple with 1L with 2ml ENZYM BOOM and it’s supposed to help her recover, the pH of the water was at 5.5 as indicated in the enzym instructions. - I noticed that the flowers are transforming into buds, they no longer only have pistils but are getting plump, as if they have a core. All except the purple which still has the flowers just as empty and small. - I also noticed a slight smell when entering the room, let’s see if it lasts. - I took a couple of macro photos and you can perfectly see the transparent trichomes, strangely but the purple that has been so bad has more than the rest.

Cientifikoloko DAY 16 - I watered the little one in the fabric pot with about 500ml at pH 5.5 - At 6:15, I raised the humidity to 65% and the light to 315w. I hope I'm not mistaken and that it's not the light or the humidity that "killed" the purple. I'll be very attentive. - But more watts means more buds, right? Or not? I'm not sure. - Today, without fail, it's watering time with just water. WATERING between 11:45 PM and 1 AM - I watered all of them, including the purple and the last one. - I watered with pH between 6.4 and 6.6. - I added half or less per liter of calmag and bioheaven. - I put the second fan in the opposite corner to better disperse the stream from the humidifier. - I raised the humidity to 63.3; maybe I'll raise it more since two fans will dry the environment more? I don't know. - I moved one plant; I've placed numbers 5, 6, and 8 better, but now I don't know exactly what the change was. - The next watering will be with fertilizers. DAY 17 3:35 AM - I see that some tips on the top of some plants are curling again; is that due to temperature and humidity? Let's see how it progresses. DAY 18 11:59 PM - 2:50 AM WATERING WITH FERTILIZERS - The first three plants got half of ALL the nutrients except bioheaven with pH at 6.7. - For this first watering, I added a little bit of microboom. - The next three plants got about 1.5ml of each fertilizer except heaven; there's no microboom in this watering. - I gave these 6 plants an extra 200ml of water with pH at 6.7 (it was really hard to lower it, and I used a bit of algamix to see if it would lower better, but it didn't). - THE pH WOULDN'T LOWER BECAUSE THE SYRINGE WASN'T REACHING THE LIQUID; IT WAS JUST SUCKING AIR WITH THE SYRINGE!! Hahaha. - I gave the other two the same at the same pH. - For the last one, I added 200ml leftover from the rest + algamix and half a ml of calmag, totaling 600ml. - I noticed that I watered with 200ml of water after watering with fertilizers; they had a bit of water left because they were spilling it. OBSERVATIONS DAY 19 2:51 AM - I noticed that all of them already have many trichomes, and I think it's because I raised the light's power these days… - The plants that were yellowing have dried those leaves and are quite affected; they are the purple and number 4. The rest I noticed were starting to yellow, and I felt they were showing signs of not being well, so I LOWERED THE LIGHT POWER. - AND I FILLED THE HUMIDIFIER WITH WATER FROM THE OSMOSIS JUG, AND FROM NOW ON, I WILL DO IT THIS WAY. IMPORTANT: - Either the problems are from the bulb because it has direct contact with the plants and the reflector, or from the lime in the humidifier water or something with the humidity and temperature since when I raised the light's power, I also raised the humidifier's power and also increased the %RH. - EVEN THOUGH I MOVED THE LIGHT AS FAR AWAY AS I COULD, it's at maximum distance. - Maybe I can bring the plants closer to the light so they receive more power, but without harming them. I'll look for how to do it and also level all the tips. - I AM CONVINCED IT'S THE HUMIDIFIER AND ITS WATER… so I raised the light's power again; I'm going to take the risk. I also raised the humidity to 63.3% and will make sure to always use the osmosis jug water and that this water has been evaporating the lime for days, leaving openings open. DAY 20 12:30 PM - I lowered the humidity %RH because all the plants are suffering spots and yellowing on their leaves; better to try to solve it, and I think it's the humidity due to that water, or I don't know why, but I think it's the humidity. I set it to 55% 🤞🏼 - I cut the leaves that were blackened, and unintentionally, I took a main satellite branch from number 4. It made me mad, but oh well… two fewer buds. - The branch with the two buds I accidentally cut has sticky buds.
