Germination complete success - removed the humidity domes (solo cups) after 3 days and all seeds had sprouted For the week, watering was largely intuitive and measurements varied albeit slightly - watered almost every other day + light misting on mulch/cover crop (Note: my soil had already been brought to field capacity before initial sowing) In current need of fans, humidifier and a hygro-thermometer

Photo/video documentation between the end of week 1 through week 2 was accidentally deleted - big apologies. Notes show positive and healthy growth - GMO 2 & 3 showing signs of robustness, meanwhile GMO 4 showing signs of being "a runt" Watering rootwise/yucca/big 6 once a week, rest of the waterings are strictly water-only IPM consists of 2oz per gal EM5 solution foliar spray + applied directly to mulch/cover crop (before lights-out) - once a week Lamp Brightness: 50% @ 26.2" - estimated 400 PAR

Harvested at week 17 and hung whole plants to dry, no wet trimming. Tent humidity was set to 60% and the average temperature fluctuated between 65-70 degrees. Four usb fans and a levoit mini air purifier were added to help circulate air. Herb was dried for 15 days and larger leaves trimmed during day 7 of the process. Bucked and dry trimmed in air purified lung room, which was then kept at 60% RH to preserve moisture content and help maintain terpenes. Trim and larf was not weighed. But weight per individual plant is as follows. GMO 1 - 3.98 oz GMO 2 - 3.95 oz GMO 3 - 4.75 oz Total - 12.68 oz of head stash and smalls Also ended up with 2 grams of scissor hash Jarred up per genotype and labeled - burped jars couple times a day for about a week.
