-I’m going to check tomorrow, March 2, to see if the seeds have popped. I’ll take pictures then. -It’s March 6th and the seedlings are looking happy. I’m hand watering them with filtered water. I’ll make a tea and start adding some benies the next time I water them, hopefully. I want to add my go pro and stream live.

March 13, 2023, at 1:30 PM -I hit the plants with their first treated water on the 11th and lowered the light to 18 inches above the canopy. Today’s the 13th and it’s obvious that the plants are responding. The forum Stomper has really taken off and the blood orange haze number one appears to be lagging. Week one ends on 16 March. Later today I’ll water them with some treated water, hopefully. I’ll take a short video and a couple pictures. Reasons for the Forum Stomper’s vigor. ~ it’s in a different pot ~ it has less soil ~ it may be possible that my dogs pissed on the other three plants. 😡 March 14, 2023 at 3:30 PM -So far every day I’ve noticed the difference in the plants. They are definitely growing and developing quickly. The forum Stomper is still outgrowing the other plants. The blood orange haze number one is growing but slower than the rest. I’ll post some more pictures and a video from yesterday and today. March 15, 2023 at 1:33 PM ~ someone left the heater, near the plants, and expose them to 90° temperatures for about 12 hours. Thank goodness the plants aren’t that big because they seem to have actually liked it. I’ll throw up a couple pictures tomorrow. The plants technically are 14 days old on the 16th. March 16, 2023 at 3:27 PM ~Today’s the last day of week one. Watering them with treated water later today.

March 21, 2023 at 3:26 PM -Plants were watered with the ph adjusted to 6.2 because firstly, the water’s ph was at 8 and secondly, the tea mixture’s ph was at 6.9. The two BOHs are smaller but are looking the same. The strawberry crinkle is looking vigorous and healthy. The forum stomper looks ready for the LST to be implemented. I’m going to take a gander at the FS up close and hopefully bend it over. 😅 March 22, 2023 at 1:19 PM -I wanted to make a note that I’m using 50% of my light. So it should be roughly 400 watch at roughly 18 inches away from the canopy. I’ll add some more pics and maybe a video later on today.😎 March 23, 2023 at 12:59 PM -today’s the last day of week two. Yesterday the forum Stomper and the strawberry crinkle were bent over to begin their LST. The two blood orange haze’s were too small to tie down but after being watered with some 6.2 pH water they have appeared to have grown at least an inch. maybe in a day or two I’ll be able to take them down. The form Stomper and strawberry crinkle completely recovered from being bent over. Hopefully I’ll get to bend them over again today. I put some pictures up of some close-ups from when I did the bending over.😉

March 25, 2023 at 1:48 PM -Ever since I started watering them with lower pH water, 6.0 to 6.3, the 2 BOH’s really started to takeoff. I might do some slight defoliation on all the plants. I’ll takeoff their lower nodes to make it easier to bend them from the main stock. The strawberry crinkle has very close internodes and is really bushy with large and thick fingers. It’s too short to try and bend over so I might have to do more of the defoliation job in order for the lower nodes to get more light. March 28, 2023 at 5:24 PM - March 29, 2023 at 2:01 PM -I’ve bent over several stems this week. I have only had one small accident with the strawberry crinkle. The top was snapped off somehow but I don’t remember it happening, but it seems to be taking it well. I watered them the day before with some tea with ph at 6.3. so far I could bend over things every day. They are starting to cover the entire pot. - Today’s the last day of week three.

April 3, 2023 at 2:02 PM -I haven’t been able to upload much this week, but I have tied them down and watered them. I’ll put some images up in a little bit so far I’ve noticed that the strawberry crinkle isn’t suited for LST. The branches snap too easily. The only signs of stress are on one of the blood orange hazes has yellow tips, and the leaves are clawing. Again, this could be because one of my dogs Peed on it or it’s getting stressed out by the light or even with the LST. I don’t think it’s the LST because the other one is doing fine and they both seem to have similar Phenotypes.

April 6, 2023 at 12:28 PM -I’m going to consider today day one a flower. Both of the blood oranges are popping calyxes all over. The stamper is also showing signs, but not as advanced. The strawberry crinkle shows a few calyxes, but is definitely the furthest behind. -one of the blood oranges is definitely showing signs of stress. I am pretty sure it’s because I’ve been bending the shit out of it and maybe the light was too close. I’m taking Padrino’s advice. He said to raise the light to let them stretch out. He also said to let go of the ties, I think this is to relieve the stress. I haven’t done this, but will try it out. -The light that I’m using is Hella powerful. I’ve never had it where the plant doesn’t stretch out at all. When all of these guys were seedlings, they barely went above the dirt. this is great if you’re growing a photoperiod but could be detrimental when you need a little bit of stretch in order to tie them down and bring them over. When I first started training them, the nodes were super close. This is the first time I’m using this light and consider it a good problem. now that I know I’ll definitely raise the light a little bit more to allow them to get a little more stretch at the beginning of their lives -I also recommend everyone get an electronic watering wand. It’s made hand watering so much easier. April 8, 2023 at 11:40 AM -I’m going to put some photos up of how they looked before I take them down. April 10, 2023 at 12:24 PM -Day 40. All the plants are showing signs of flowering, but one of the orange haze’s is definitely a head of the others. So I’m pretty sure I have two different phenotypes. The forum is the next one with buds then the next Blood Orange finally followed by the strawberry crinkle. The strawberry crinkle has been the most sensitive plant to train. We’ve cracked a couple branches while trying to be careful. April 14, 2023 at 12:15 PM day 44 -I did my math wrong. It was off by a week but everything is fine. I keep forgetting that I use the germination week as week one. As you are supposed to when working with auto flowers. I just got a little bit confused. It’s actually good news because it means I get an extra week of flour and bigger yields. [ -I had to defoliate the shit out of the strawberry crinkle. In like two days it got completely covered and super fat leaves. There was no light penetration at all. Next time I grow it I’m just gonna let it do its thang. Besides that both blood oranges are looking nice, so is the form Stomper. They need to get water desperately. I believe after this watering, the plants should really take off. -Plants got 4L each of treated water. April 16, 2023 at 2:11 PM day, 46 -All the plants except for one of the blood oranges have been defoliated and bent a bit more to open up lower nodes. This is the first time that I’ve never removed a node on purpose and I’ve been growing for over 10 years. The strawberry crinkle once again looks like, no defoliation was done. Its leaves are big and fat and quickly cover up lower nodes. I’ll hopefully give each plant 20 cups of water each.

April 20, 2023 at 1:41 PM day 50 -It’s day 50 and they are all in full flower and seem mostly happy. The forum appear to be showing a calcium/magnesium deficiency. I busted out some of my hydroponic stuff and gave it some cutting edge solutions additives. Are used plant-amp, uncle John’s blend, and Mag-amp. I gave it 2/3 strength. -I also added my Bulbasaur to protect the plants! April 26, 2023 at 9:55 AM day 56 -Something with wrong with the forum. Only thing I could think of is that the soil pH is too high. It might be a 7.5 to about an 8. I’m putting up a video so you guys could take a look. Hopefully you guys can tell me what I did wrong so I won’t do it again. 😔

Tuesday, May 2, 2023 at 10:45 AM D 62 -Ooof! Not really sure what happened but a couple of my plants got rocked pretty hard. I must’ve overwatered them. I bought a soil meter so I can check what’s going on. I’ll put some pictures up. Hopefully it’s still going to be some fire. The strawberry crinkle is kicking ass one of the blood oranges is looking good and smelling great but the other blood orange and the forum Stomper got hit pretty hard. The blood oranges leaves have started to yellow and the smell It had disappeared. The forum Stomper still smells good but its leaves got hit the hardest. -this is my first indoor soil grow. Before this I grew everything hydroponically and if I dealt with soil, it was all outdoors. I’ve also grown using cocoa so I had that as a reference. That was a mistake. Growing in cocoa is really hard to drown your plants. Drenching a plant that’s growing in soil is not a good idea. -It might sound dumb to some of you growers out there, but having a digital meter for your soil is awesome. I stick that thing in there and I stop watering when it tells me that it’s good, highly recommended.

Wednesday, May 10 at 1:07 PM D 70 -today’s the last day of week nine. These past few weeks I feel like I’ve been trying to control the damage I did. It’s not like the plants are horrible. They actually all smell great even the blood Orange that had no smell is starting to smell again. It is definitely a different phenotype than the other Blood Orange. The other blood orange I have smells like an orange, and the other one smells like spiciness. With this being D 70 harvest is quickly approaching.
