The seeds are from Coastal Genetics, but its not an option for them. Today I mostly finished preparing the grow room. I still have 1 light coming in in the next couple of days so I have an empty spot above 1 of my buckets. I'm starting germination in Rockwood cubes. This is my first time so fingers crossed! Afgooy is supposed to be pretty resilient so hopefully I don't fuck it up too bad lol.
Day 5 - Things are going pretty good. I've got 6 sprouts, so all 5 afgooey sprouted and a test germination I did about a week before hand. 2 will have to go into soil I guess. I've made up a gallon of nutrients now and am filling up the water tray with food for them. Ph is about 5.7 and ppm is around 600 (my normal waters ppm is pretty high)
Day 7 - The ladies are starting to get tall except C, D, and E. I'm hoping that they perk up a little in the next week. Afgooey isn't a super tall strain but the seedlings are pretty short. I'm hopeful they won't be stunted
Day 8 5/18/23 - Today I took A and B out of the sprouter and put them in their dwc tanks. C and D still need a few days so I can see some root growth on their rockwool cubes.
Plant A:
Temp - 77°f
RH - 69%

C and D are still at the kids table. I'm gonna give those a few more days to get bigger.
Day 9 5/19/23
Plant B straightened out over their night time. I was worried it had bent too far while I was adding substrate. Whew! Plant A is starting to shoot up away from its original 2 leaves and get taller. C and D are getting bigger as well. Hopefully tomorrow or Sunday I will be putting them in their own doc's.
Temp - 79°
RH - 63%
Day 10 2/20/23
Today has been a good day. I have first root in water from plant B! It's about 4 inches long. I transplanted C and D into their dwcs, added the nutrients to the water, and got the light to the correct distance. I also got some H²O² and put a small squirt in each bucket. My water thermometers came in today and installed them.

Nothing much to note today. Plant B is starting its first node. Plants haven't made it to the water to start feeding yet except B, so no change in nutrient levels.
Temp - 79°
RH - 60%
Day 12 5/22/23
Today has been a good day for the plants. All but Plant C have roots in the water now. Plant A and B have several roots in the water so I'm expecting them to take off pretty soon. I'm worried about Plant C. It doesn't seem to have any upward growth but shows no signs of being burned or anything else.

All 4 plants now have roots in the water. I hope that makes Plant C grow some. It doesn't look unhealthy, just the runt of the group. A and B have extensive root growth. I'm very pleased with how A, B, and D are doing.
Temp - 81.5°
RH - 54%
Day 14 5/24/23
I didn't check the levels today because tomorrow I'm changing out all the water for new water. A, B, and D continue to gain mass. I'm still worried about C but roots show growth so I know it's trying. I still have Plant E to transplant in case C dies. I'm having trouble keeping the humidity up so I ordered a new humidifier. It'll be here next week.
Temp - 79°
RH - 49%
Day 15, 5/25/23 Today the ladies got new water and I upped the nutrients some. I'm hoping for explosive growth despite having a crazy high EC. I ordered a RO filter that will be in in a week. Plant C is still tiny but it's roots are getting longer.

Day 16, 5/26/23
They are now wider than the baskets they are in except C. They all have an extensive root system now in the water. I lowered my water in my buckets to 3 gallons from 3 and a half so a couple had to stretch for it but are now firmly in the water. I'm hoping growth doubles! My new humidifier came in today so the RH is a bit higher than it has been.
Temp - 81°
RH - 70%
Day 17, 5/27/23
There is noticeable growth on all 4 plants. C has finally decided to grow some! Maybe it'll mature fine. Hope so. The new humidifier is kicking ass. It's keeping at a pretty constant RH.
Temp - 81°
RH - 65%
Day 18, 5/28/23
There has been a ton of noticeable growth! Even Plant C. They are starting to get thirsty too. I added about a liter of refill mix to each bucket. Roots have gone crazy. They are all the way to the bottom and then some. They are also getting a lot wider. It looks like my girls will be bushy.
Temp - 80°
RH - 65%
All PH altered to 5.5
Day 19, 5/29/23
Lots of stem thickening in the last 24 hours. They are still thirsty and drinking about a liter each. Still more canopy growth. The secondary leaves are starting to come in. They're gonna be beautiful!
Temp - 79°
RH - 60%
PH - 5.7, 5.6, 5.8, 5.6 respectively
Day 20, 5/30/23
Not only are they getting thicker, but the secondary branch leaves are fully out. They are starting to get bushy. I plan to top them as soon as the next node grows out. I want massive, bushy plants. They seem to enjoy the nutrients and are growing strong and healthy, even C.
Temp - 81°
RH - 65%
PH - 5.5, 5.6, 5.6, 5.7
Day 21, 5/31/23
Noticeable growth in stem thickness and bush size. They are starting to fill out nicely. This is the last day of week 2 so all the tanks get cleaned and water changed. I intend on increasing the nutrients added.
Temp - 80°
RH - 65%
Day 22, 6/1/23
I had to work late so I didn't have time to do anything but take the pictures. I did get all 4 tanks cleaned with h²o², water changed, then fed. I noticed some brown stuff on the roots so hydroguard increased by .5 ml/gal.
Day 23, 6/2/23
Today I checked to make sure all the PH's and they were all still within acceptable tolerance. I need to figure out how to make the water not heat up as much. Water Temps were 81° across the board. Maybe one of my followers could chime in on that. I'm stumped. Everything else is great though. They are getting bushier and taller by the day and the stems keep thickening up.

I know I sound like a broken record but again, bushier but not much taller. They are getting very wide. I want some more height lol. It'll come. I found a couple spots on one of Plant C's leaf. Rust colored. I checked the PH and it was good so I'll check them in the morning.
Temp - 81°
Water Temp - 79°
PH - 5.7, 5.8, 5.6, 5.7
Day 25, 6/4/23
I noticed some brown algae like stuff in all four of my buckets. I watched videos for a few hours and determined the best course of action was to add H2O2 in large doses to each bucket. 45 ml of H2O2 added to each bucket. Checking on it today I've noticed less algae like things floating and the roots have cleared up. I started leaf tucking on A, B, and D so if they look odd that's why.

PH - 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.7
Day 26, 6/5/23
There has been a lot of thickening in the canopies of my ladies. Lots of secondary and tertiary leaves that are getting big might need to be trimmed. I think A is going into flowering, idk though. Too early to tell. I can smell the weed now when I walk in the room. It smells minty. Yay!

Day 27, 6/6/23
Plants A and B got topped today. I was worrying about not getting them in the right spot above the 5th node, but I'm pretty sure I nailed it on both of them. Pics are above if you wanna check it out. The smell is getting stronger. Still really minty. Yum! I can't wait until they get big. I also installed 2 Bloomspect SL600's above A and B. I'll keep tabs on them and hopefully they grow thicker.

All PH lowered to 5.6
Day 28, 6/7/23
So I fucked up big time. Taking pictures I knocked the light off and it fell on Plant B, breaking off half a branch 😪 It was very upsetting. They are growing well despite myself. Plant A has taken to leaf tucking. It looks more like a bush every day. Tomorrow they get new water and nutrients and a H²O² bath while I clean out the buckets. I hope Plant B recovers. She was doing well.

I apologize for missing Day 29. Work, ya know? I did get all of my buckets cleaned and water changed. All the roots are healthy and white.
Day 30, 6/9/23
Today I trimmed up the ladies a little. I cut some of the big fan leaves off to help promote good growth to the rest of the plants. They are super bushy. I need to defoliate them more but not until I've watched more videos. That's on tomorrow's to do list. I think this will be the last week of veg. I'm pretty sure they are starting to show their sex. I was hoping they'd be taller, but I'll be happy with whatever. I trimmed up some of them after I took the pictures. They needed it.

Day 31, 6/10/23
This is definitely the last week of veg. Plants A, B, and kind of with Plant D, are starting to show their sex. Plant A the most. Since I have autos, I don't think I have to do the 36 hours of darkness then 12/12. I plan on watching several hours of videos tomorrow to find out. Do you all think I did ok with trimming them? I'm worried that I trimmed too much but I just took out the fan leaves on the bottom nodes.

I'm sorry, I've really dropped the ball this week. I had some dental work done and I was laid up for a day. I promise to post pics and do my water testing tomorrow. Also, my RO filter I ordered got discontinued, so no RO for me for a little bit
Day 35, 6/14/23
This week has been crazy. Thank you for bearing through no updates. Today I did some LST to open up the plants some and let some of the smaller nodes get light. They have taken off in growth. There are now very thick stems with pretty colas starting to form. 2 will be ready for flowering so I started the recommended amount of KoolBloom, 2.5 mL, to do the preflower stage. They are drinking a lot now. About half a gallon, or 2 liters each, even smallish Plant C. I also reordered an RO filter. It'll be here on Friday.

Day 36, 6/15/23
They are taking to LST pretty well. I'm not going to change out the water today. My RO water filter will be in tomorrow and I wanna use that water instead of tap. They are looking good. I raised the light just a bit to get them to encourage upper growth. They are getting thicker and taller every day. Doing LST is making more of the bud sites on the branches come out. There have been several new ones sprout out over night.

Just a small update. My new RO filter just came in and I'm prepping it for the water change tonight! Also, my scrog nets came in as well as the 3/4 in 3 way elbows to make 2 4x2 scrog net frames.
The plants are going crazy! B is almost to the light. I'll have to raise them soon. The RO filter worked great, takes forever though. I only changed out water in A and B. I'll get C and D tomorrow. Base EC of 0010 and a base PPM of 6. C has exploded in growth. It's now 12 inches tall, and I thought it was going to die.

I changed their water out and am waiting for the right hour to start the 36 hour darkness then the 12/12 cycle so the lights will be on during the day.ill post pics as soon as they come back on
Day 43, 6/22/23
It's dark so no photos for another 20 or so hours. Im flipping them to 12/12 for flowering.
Day 44, 6/23/23
It's still dark in there so not much to report. I went in with a dim light and refilled their water levels. I built 1 of 2 frames for a scrog net. 4' x 2' and 4' high. I'll be able to hang my lights off them instead of the ceiling. It'll make adjusting them easier.
Day 45, 6/24/23
The darkness is over! They are now in 12/12. Plant B got even bigger. I don't know how in the dark but it did. The scrog net frame I built was perfect. Now another $30 to Lowes and I'll have another. Fuck buying a $400 tent. The plants were malleable enough to bend through the net. I'm glad I didn't wait any longer. I did some defoliation as well and got rid of most of the stuff under the net.

I got all 4 buckets changed out. I've noticed with this RO filtered water, after mixing in my nutrients to the tanks of water my PH is only 5, sometimes less.
I've actually had to use PH Up some. I got the tanks PH'ed to 5.51 so they should be good for a couple of days, and they had an EC of 1700ish, and a PPM of around 960. My neighbor is gonna be refilling the tanks daily with refill PH'ed at 5.2. No pictures today. I had to pack and get ready to go on vacation. I'll be back on Sunday 7/1/23, or Day 52. See you all then!

I swear they grew 6 inches while I was gone. I spent 4 hours today trimming up A and B, but C and D will have to wait. A and B not only grew taller, but I had to re-adjust the net because they bushed out as well. C and D look nothing like the lollipops they did when I left. I will work C and D back to the way they were soon. D got the main stalk broken by the waterer while I was gone. I was super excited to hear that... Also I have a light going out so I ordered another Bloomspect SL600, and it'll be here the 6th.

Today I added a floor and ceiling to my grow box. I used cardboard and mylar plastic for both. It increased reflectivity by quite a bit. I adjusted the ppfd to about 1000. I ordered another SL600 to get rid of the last driverless light. I also got a new air pump, 8w 4*4/lm, because I read that more aeration helps prevent root rot. Since I've installed the ac unit the water Temps have dropped from 80s to low 70s. I hope those two help keep the rot away.

I can't tell a difference yet, but I've only done it for 2 days. I also read a paper on PH and it's best balance for nutrient absorption and decided I'm going to keep my buckets at 6.0 instead of 5.5.

Any suggestions on the strain, leave me a comment. I did a little lst and defoliation but that's about it. Buds are looking really good. I ordered some drain valves so I think I'll wait to Thursday when they get here to change out my tanks. I don't think an extra day will hurt them.

Today I did some defoliation and worked on the cages wrappings and made sure they were good and tight. They all seem to be drinking pretty well even after the nutrient change.

They are still getting taller and it's a constant battle to keep them trimmed well. I couldn't imagine having to do all the work dwc is in a tent...

Today I did a major defoliation and tuck on A and B. I haven't done much with C and D in the last couple days and C needed a trim. C is barely into flower, and D is so far into it that I think it'll be ready to harvest soon. It's white hairs are turning amber. D is actually a completely different color than C. C has a greenish yellow healthy looking leaves whereas D is a dark green with lots of frosting on it. 🤷 If anyone has any info on why that is, lemme know.

Today I did a lot of work on the cages I built. I built sides onto it half way up on the long pieces but neglected to make the short pieces. I worked on that for a few hours, then plucked several suckers off the lower branches. The ladies are growing strong. I did notice I had an issue with root rot forming in B's tank. I flushed it and put in just fresh water and poured in 32 Oz of H²O² (all $1.50 of it lol) and saw instant changes in it. I'm gonna let it sit over night.

Day 82, 8/1/23

It'll also make changing buckets easier and faster. Got 2 new lights. They are 300 watt and intense as hell. They were home made by an electrician so they're probably a bit stronger. I hope they can make a difference in the next couple weeks.

Plant D is starting to look rough. It's losing leaves and yellowing up. The buds look amazing though. I haven't done any bud pictures lately, so I'll do that tomorrow. The other three are doing nicely. A and B are thickening up, and C has just gotten ridiculous. There's a bud in the middle I won't be able to put both hands around before long. For it being g the one I thought would die, it's gonna be my biggest bud producer. Hopefully our heat wave will be over soon and the rooms temp will go back to normal.

I switched brands of calmag to TPS Complete and I just don't have it dialed in yet. The other plants seem to be handling it well though. The trichomes on D are still mostly clear, but the plant is for sure in its final stage of life. The leaves are crispy and break if touched. It's been flushing for 5 days, and I am probably going ro harvest it at the end of the week. My others have a couple weeks left for sure.

The leaves are looking terrible. I can wait a few more days. C continues to make huge buds. It's got at least 5 I can't wrap my hand around it. A and B are pretty well static.

It's getting full. 11 plants in 1 room lol. They drank about 2 1/2 gallons for the first feeding then another gallon and a half before bed. I'm getting some really pretty colors in the bud.

Day 117, 9/4/23
Today I cleaned the dwc bucket Plant D was in. It took quite a bit to get the roots out of the net pot! I'm soaking both of the air hose and thermometer in water/H²O² to clean them. I noticed some leaves turning a purple color on Plant B, and I don't know if it's normal or if it's something wrong. Plant C has spots forming on the middle of the leaves that's red in the center and yellow around the edges. If you know what these are, please leave a comment so I can fix it. Thanks!

Day 131, 9/18/23
Today I worked on the empty dwc tanks, got the substrate and the roots cut out and got them cleaned up. I now have room for 5 more. I'm waiting on some seeds to come in and because it's all photoperiods I can veg them all til I'm happy with them all, then flip. Some might be in veg longer than normal, but thats ok.Time isn't an issue.
Day 132, 9/19/23
Well, down to the last mature lady. I started flushing her today. Her leaves are starting to turn yellow and its curling up so she's entering the last stage of life, and also I'm tired of messing with her lol. 132 days for an auto... nuts... I got the final weight in for Plant D, 121.1 grams. Not bad for a plant that had its main stem cut off by a falling light during veg. I'm excited to see what C weighs out after drying. It's been putting on quite a bit of weight. The buds have came out dense as hell. Solid, 2 liter soda bottle thick buds, probably 6 or 7 of them. I can't put my hand half way about it. It's amazing. The one I expected to die is gonna end up being my heaviest, biggest plant. I'm glad though. I'm gonna stop doing the temps and ph's. I'm down to one and shes flushing. Just assume I'm keeping it between 5.5 and 6.0. A and B are drying well. 3 days in now. When they dry I'm going to do nothing until they are both trimmed. I want to be able to add exact amounts for my first harvest.
Day 133, 9/20/23
This will be the last week. The buds have gotten so big the branches aren't strong enough to hold them up. They are absolutely huge. This will be the heaviest plant I will have this round. I can't wait until it's done flushing and drying to see how much it weighs!
Day 134, 9/21/23
Another branch is starting to bend way down, so I think I'm gonna tie a string around it to hold it up. Lol hopefully she makes it without breaking anything. Plant A and B are drying well and will be done soon!
Day 135, 9/22/23
I feel bad, but I slept almost the entire 24 hours this day. I didn't get any pics or anything. I'm sorry.
Day 136, 9/23/23
I tied a wire around it to hold it together until we can get through flush. I'm gonna have to think of something for drying because the buds are almost all 2 liter bottle sized, if not thicker. I honestly don't know what I'm gonna do.
Day 137, 9/24/23
The wire is holding well but I've had to loosen it some because it was pushing in on the buds more, so she's still growing somewhat. The leaves are yellowing and showing its being flushed. The trichomes are looking nice!
Day 138, 9/25/23
Today I just filled her tank and let her go! Getting close to chop day!!!
Day 139, 9/26/23
She's still kicking. I've still got so much to trim from A and B so I don't have anywhere to hang her so she's gonna keep flushing. I'll probably take her to the full 2 weeks of flushing.

Well, after a week of drying, then getting cut up because they were so huge and another 2 days of drying, they are done. I got 3 1/2 gallon jars, and 7 1/2 quqrt jars off of plant C. I did a very large wet trim, so it won't take me long to trim it. I'll post the harvest week as soon as it's trimmed and weighed.
Super cropping works lol. Was a very enjoyable grow. The smoke is really smooth, and the taste is pretty good. Kind of fruity but not a bunch. It smells a lot like oranges and just "fruit". It is very frosty. After drying/curing, it became very resiny and just gooey. Guess that's where it got its name. I got 27 grams of keef, and 5 grams of A quality, 9.3 of B, and I didn't measure C or D. That was from all the trim from all 4 plants. I don't know why it's saying sativa. It was 70 30 indica.
