Thanks for Princess Leia for providing support for one seedling and for providing the plans for the Death Star battle station Day 11- really exploding. Starting to veg. Will veg for next ~6 weeks before going outdoors

Day 15- coming along well enough, the Rosettas are popping, the Donutz are doing fine, and the Black Roses just don't look quite as healthy Day 18- bout time to get that transplant into 1 or 2 gals going Day 20- transplanting some tomorrow

D21- Transplanted everything into 1 gals with BAS light mix and Azos sprinkled, except the 3 Jelly Donutz (still in solos til tonight) and 3 of the Black Rose x Pine Tar Kush that showed terrible growth and heavy mottling, tossed those. Hung my second HLG 65V2, so now have 130w of veg lighting - Also fucking around with topping at different nodes with the goal of doing mainlines on two of the Rosetta Stones, the two on the far left. One looks unhealthy but sent it anyway. - Watered all in with Recharge D22- transplanted remaining 3 Jelly Donutz into 1.5gal. Looking great next morning D24- topped everything. Jelly Donutz at node 3, the rest at either node 3 or 4. Just gonna play around with different training styles

D29- Plants are all recovering from topping, the two Rosettas on the far left are furthest along as they were topped the earliest. The other Rosetta and the 3 Black Roses are coming a bit slowly but surely, while the Jelly Donutz are the slowest to recover from topping but also are in the largest containers so they may be setting more roots and trying to recover at the same time. D32- Topped the two Rosettas on the far left to keep them on par with the other girls. Still need to sex the Black Roses, will take cuts and put them in water and 24hr dark to show sex

D36 Two of the jelly donutz are really starting to get their footing, one more so than the other and got topped again D39 Shits finally starting to veg. Took 5 weeks, but they're loving the recharge, azos and ancient earth. Will start LST when I have time this weekend. D41 Topped a few another one or two times, did a bit of LST on most of them also. Trying to keep the canopy even. Gonna use a trellis in the tent when I move them to flower in a couple weeks

D42- More topping and some pretty heavy LST. Not slowing these girls down one bit. The Rosettas are still overgrowing the Black Roses and Jelly Donutz. I'd like to move them to the flower tent and flip them a week earlier than the Donutz. The Black Roses still need to be sexed by putting cuttings in darkness. Got 3 regs, hoping at least 1 is fem as to go outside with a Double OG Chem #15 clone I picked up. D46- Took cuttings from Black Roses and put them in darkness to show sex. First time doing somethin like this.

D51 Only showing minor deficiencies after weeks in the BAS light. Time to buy a top dressing D52 Top dressed the Rosettas with Gaia 444 and covered with a layer of BAS light. Watered in with recharge. Also did a moderate defol on the lower layer of leaves and suckas

D55- Finally female preflowers on one of the Black Roses, moved that to the isolated room with the Double OG Chem clone to get onto natural light cycle. Going to be a very rainy week so not putting them outdoors until after the rain subsides a bit. Opens up the veg closet a bit. More defol, topping, tying. D56- Heavy watering D57- Four 7gals have been prepped with 60-40 BAS 3.0 and CoM Stonington plus about 10% added rice hulls. Pre watered with 16oz of Recharge and Azos, then planted BAS cover crop on the top. Transplant for the first four (2x Rosettas 2x Jelly Donutz) happening between Sat and Tues (D60-63) then flip shortly after. Have at least 2 other plants to get flowered out, possibly 3 or 4 if the other Black Roses are females. The tent is gonna be stuffed as fuck. D60- Missed watering on day 58 and came back to a room full of sad and wilted ladies yesterday. Hit them with the recharged water and they look fantastic today. Lookin at transplanting the indoor girls on the fourth, D64. The outdoor girls will get transplanted tomorrow into their 30gal tubs because of time and weather schedule. Will start a separate diary for the outdoor ladies.

D63- They're ready for transplant, one of the JD is pretty droopy today. Goin to hold off on watering her and hope she bounces back D65- Time to transplant I think haha. Will transplant four tomorrow but move everything to the flower tent. Transplant the others Sunday? D66- Transplanted four of seven and moved everything into the tent. Underestimated how much plant I was going to have. Need to finish transplanting the remaining three and flip asap. Shits gonna fill up!

D70- So the last week I've had a few problems that have led to wilting. One of the JD was already wilting when I transplanted the big four into 7gals a few days ago. I didn't water that one in very much, only about 8oz. The other three received about 16oz of Recharged & Azos water. However both RS started wilting also. Only one JD of the big four still looks decent. Transplanted the other three yesterday morning into 5gals and a 2 gal respectively and they're doing okay. Watered everything in yesterday afternoon with 16-32oz of straight water. No luck on them bouncing back as of this morning. D71- Bounced back super well holy shit. Decided to flip to 12/12 today. D72- Did some light defol before the stretch starts. Hoping to limit the amount they all stretch. Will be adding more light and trellis net over the next few days. D74- Added trellis net and spread them out a bit. Will continue to spread them as they stretch. D76- Stretching well, not jumping up too high. Raised the AC light and added the first two of the six aux lightbulbs I'll be using. Top dressed everything except the middle plant (Jelly Donut) with about 1-3 tblsp of COM fishbone meal. Watered in with 8-20oz of Recharged and pH'd water

F6- Been six days since switched to 12/12, just starting to shoot pistols now. Thinking that by the end of this week they'll be done stretching and in flower, so I'm calling this week 1 of flowering. F8- Watered with 8-16oz Recharge F10- Looking fucking great and smellin fuckin stanky. Not touching a thing for a bit. Think I might get a lil bit of weed this run. F13- Watered again with 8-16oz straight h2o. Put a fan blowing under the canopy in the back.

F13- Got to figure out a way to manage those cables. Fuck F16- Finally managed the cables. Also watered with ~8-20oz with high dose (3 tblsp / gallon h2o) Roots Organic Terp Tea Bloom with half dose of Recharge. F19- More defoliation and will water tonight another 8-20oz, just water. Added ~40 more watts to my aux lighting, up to ~320w now. Can push that up to ~440 watts but want to keep temps under 80f.

F21- Looking good yooo F24- Fed with 3x strength RootsOrganic TerpTea Bloom and Recharge, 16-32oz each, slight runoff on a couple of pots. Also up to 360watts in the tent. Will try to push that to 440w as long as temps stay in check.

F27- Trying to keep temps below 76f. F29- One JD was very thirsty. Watered her to runoff, the rest got between 8-32oz h2o depending on how much lower leaf droop. Yellowing on the Black Rose continues. Pistils starting to mature to orange on some plants but not all. Tomorrow I'll have time to do a deep hermie hunt. Work/life balance is a struggle right now with very little time for the ladies. F31- Flowers are looking a little leafy. Excess nitrogen? Moving to feeding with Roots Organic Bloom Booster from now on, very low nitrogen in that. F33- Came home yesterday to heavy drooping all around. Watered the bigger girls about 32-40oz of Recharged h2o last night, smaller ones watered accordingly. Today fed with 2 tblsp in 2 gallons of h2o that I forgot to fucking pH. So probably starting around 8.0 ph or so, not sure how the nutes affected. pH downed another 2 gallons of h2o to around 5 in theory and gave about 16 oz or so of that to try to balance pH. Hopefully they are relatively unaffected. I'll give a couple days to dry back before watering to runoff with 6.5 h2o

F36- Fed with high dose of Bloom Booster and Recharge, about 16-48oz each. Also gave the little one some 4-4-4 top dressing. F40- Fed with more Bloom Boost and Recharge. Buds looking okay but a little small and pretty leafy. Smell is incredible.

F41- Looking so good after feeding with bloom booster yesterday. Finally fattening up. F42- Fed again with bloom booster and recharge. F44- Fed agaain with bloom booster. Also watered to run off after feeding because I’ll be gone until F47 night.

F49- Getting close. Starting 7th week of flower. JD3 is looking closest, while JD2 looks like at least 2-3 more weeks. RS are coming along nicely with some sativa foxtailing. Hoping to chop them on the earlier side. Brothers Grimm says 8-9 weeks for RS but last year outdoor they were faster to mature and ended up with a more indica feel. I want that sativa buzz. F51- Fed with just Bloom Booster, 3tblsp in 2gal of pH2o F54- Watered only, getting closer and closer. Dry room is sitting around 65f so I can stagger the harvest instead of cutting everything down at the same time. RS2 and 3 are almost ready to go.

F56- fucking alllmost there. A few more days at most to chop five of seven ladies. RS 1 & 2 are only somewhat cloudy, RS3 needs to fatten, JD1 and 3 are ready but I want to push them further. JD2 and BRK will be the late finishers, a couple more weeks for each. I did chop two testers branches, the tallest of the RS2 and JD1. Looks and smells fan fucking tastic. F57- So tomorrow must be the chop. I need to dry in the tent and thus can't push them any more. RS1 is falling over with weight, RS2 looks unreal, RS3 is small but ultra dense nugs without the Jack smell. JD1 is unbelievably frosty, makes my previous Stomper harvest look like a punk bitch. JD2 is frosty but the smell pure grape jelly. JD3 has the bag appeal for days. The small BRK will be passed on to a buddy to finish flowering her, probably another couple weeks. Can't FUCKING WAIT TO SMOKE DIS SHYT GROMIES

The Jelly Donutz are wow! Great colors, some incredible frost especially on #1. The smell pre dry ranges from gassy and floral to sickeningly sweet grape jelly sugar. Grew super easy with very little nute deficiencies. The choice pheno #3 was fast but never grew super huge buds. Gonna be a small yield of some incredible flower. #1 was much larger and insanely frosty but didn't have quite the same sweet terp profile. #2 should have gone another week or two. Not my choice to chop everything but that's the way she goes. Not my house, not my rules. Can't WAIT TO SMOKE THIS.

F58 Brothers Grimm's Rosetta Stone XX was stellar in veg and great in flower. Liked to go heavier on the nitrogen but grew giant colas that would have required staking at the end had I gone another week with them. The terps on #s 1 & 2 are straight up Jack Herer while #3 doesn't have as distinctive of a smell and very different bud structure. They probably could have gone longer and fattened up far more but I decided I'm really looking for the sativa dominance, so I chopped at day 58 of flower. Cannot wait to get down on some doobies and vapes of this wonderful Cinderella Jack / Jackderella / Jacky 99 / Rosetta Stone XX
