Days 1 - 7 (from sprout) 5/24/24 - 5/30/24 Lamp distance: 22" @ 25% power - PAR unknown Feed schedule: Rootwise Mycrobe Complete watered in a few times this week - just watering the cover crop enough daily to keep wet IPM: None

Days 8 - 14 (from sprout) 5/31/24 - 6/6/24 Lamp distance: 26" @ 50% power - PAR estimate 300-400 Feed schedule: Rootwise Mycrobe Complete watered in a few times this week with added saponins IPM: None

Days 15 - 21 (from sprout) 6/7/24 - 6/13/24 Lamp distance: 26" @ 50% power - PAR estimate 300-400 Feed schedule: Rootwise Mycrobe Complete + Yucca + Soy Hydrolysate (Aminos) a couple times this week, otherwise just watered daily IPM: Captain Jack's Deadbug applied to cover crop. EM5 solution was foliar sprayed once this week to plants Note: Plants received no water for two days at start of the week. Loompa's Headband x Triangle Kush is looking sickly and getting beat up but gonna keep it going.

Days 22 - 28 (from sprout) 6/14/24 - 6/20/24 Lamp distance: 26" @ 75% power - PAR estimate 500-600 Feed schedule: Water only with the exception of a one-day feeding during the week IPM: Captain Jack's Deadbug applied to cover crop. EM5 solution foliar sprayed Note: Planning to veg one extra week to see if more vertical growth is possible on sweet 16 and to give sick loompa's headband an extended chance to flower

Days 29 - 35 (from sprout) 6/21/24 - 6/27/24 Lamp distance: 26" @ 75% power - PAR estimate 500-600 Feed schedule: Water only with the exception of feeding schedule IPM: Captain Jack's Deadbug applied to cover crop. EM5 solution foliar sprayed Notes: Top dressed all plants w/ EM Bokashi + Montana Grow Silica + BAS Worm Castings + BAS Craft Blend Last week of vegetation - the good shit is skyrocketing as expected, has excellent branching but needing some hst/supercropping to the top(s). Blue nose pit started showing 11 leaflets. Sweet 16 S1 developing lots of small branches and density. Loompa's Headband x Triangle Kush is messed up but just gonna run it.

Days 36 - 42 (from sprout) 6/28/24 - 7/04/24 Lamp distance: 16" @ 100% power - PAR estimate 800-900? Feed schedule: Water only + once a week feeding schedule IPM: Captain Jack's Deadbug applied to cover crop Notes: Heavy defoliation this week to plants + more leaf tucking and high stress training to help even the canopy. Took clones of all plants except Loompa's Headband x Triangle Kush.

Days 43 - 49 (from sprout) 7/05/24 - 7/11/24 Lamp distance: 12" @ 100% power - PAR estimate 1000 Feed schedule: Water only + once a week feeding schedule (rootwise bio-phos added to almost every watering this week at a rate of 1/8 tsp per gallon) IPM: Captain Jack's Deadbug applied to cover crop + EM5 foliar spray @ 1oz per 1/2 gallon Notes: Temperatures and humidity in the lung room are increasing to a problem - first time growing in summer, air conditioner needed. Supplemental lighting (36w LED 300w equivalent) added to Sweet 16 due to it being squat - PAR meter needed. The Good Shit really stretching and wants to hog the light - using a lot more super cropping daily on her.

Days 50 - 56 (from sprout) 7/12/24 - 7/18/24 Lamp distance: 12" @ 100% power - PAR estimate 1000 Feed schedule: Water only + once a week feeding schedule (rootwise bio-phos added to almost every watering this week at a rate of 1/8 tsp per gallon) IPM: None Notes: Temperatures and humidity in the lung room still increasing - air conditioner still needed Ignored the garden and watering for two days, was gone overnights for a weekend and employed no one to water or check environmental conditions Stem rubs - The Good Shit has a funky stank coming; Sweet 16 S1 is pine/mint/slight funk; and Blue Nose Pit is giving off nothing but strong menthol

Days 57 - 63 (from sprout) 7/19/24 - 7/25/24 Using a cosine corrector and light meter app now to help measure PAR. The Good Shit @ 1,200 PAR - Blue Nose Pit @ 800 PAR - Loompa's @ 750 PAR - Sweet 16 @ 400 PAR :( Once a week feeding schedule (rootwise bio-phos added every watering this week @ a rate of 1/8 tsp per gallon) IPM: None (but fungus gnats are multiplying in the mulch and will soon require extermination) Notes: Air conditioner installed in lung room - now easily able lower humidity and keep lights-on temp at roughly 77 degrees. Last large defoliation performed this week and beginning next week another top dress will be added to The Good Shit. Blue Nose Pit resin currently feeling more greasy/oily not much tackiness. Sweet 16 S1 resin is semi-tacky only slightly greasy/oily.

Days 64 - 70 (from sprout) 7/26/24 - 8/01/24 Measuring PAR w/ cosine corrector + light meter app. The Good Shit @ 1,400 PAR - Blue Nose Pit @ 700 PAR - Loompa's @ 680 PAR - Sweet 16 @ 350 PAR :( Watering everyday, variable amounts between 1/4 gallon to 3/4 gallon per pot. Bio-phos inoculated everyday into soil @ 1/8 tsp per gallon. Feeding schedule broken into two parts per week. IPM: EM5 @ 6oz per gallon and applied foliar to cover crop and mulch Notes: Dehumidifier installed in lung room - allowing tent to stay @ 60% RH w/ lights on and 50% RH w/ lights off Air conditioner also allowing tent to stay @ 77 - 73 degrees w/ lights on - and 65 degrees w/ lights off Now currently out of homemade fermented plant extract. Final top dressing added to The Good Shit, considering it's size and stretch - consisted of worm castings, craft blend, em bokashi, gypsum and silica amendment

Days 71 - 77 (from sprout) 8/02/24 - 8/08/24 Measuring PAR w/ cosine corrector + light meter app. The Good Shit @ ? PAR - Blue Nose Pit @ 800+ PAR - Loompa's @ 730+ PAR - Sweet 16 @ 450+ PAR Not watering everyday, variable amounts between 1/4 gallon to 3/4 gallon per pot. Bio-phos inoculated every other day into soil @ 1/8 tsp per gallon. Feeding schedule broken into two parts per week. IPM: None, visual inspection Notes: Tent @ 55% RH w/ lights on and 50% RH w/ lights off Tent @ 77 - 73 degrees w/ lights on - and 65 degrees w/ lights off In an attempt to increase PAR on Sweet 16 and Blue Nose Pit I've lowered the lamp below the top canopy of Good Shit, thereby burning some leaves and probably some tops. Good Shit is at least 1.5 to 2 weeks behind the others and after this week I will stop the torture and raise the light again above the canopy Also, another supplemental light added to Blue Nose Pit - increasing PAR from 500 to 600+ to lower budsites

Days 78 - 84 (from sprout) 8/09/24 - 8/15/24 Watering everyday, variable amounts between 1/4 gallon to 3/4 gallon per pot. Feeding schedule broken into multiple parts per week IPM: sucrose octanoate 25ml per 32oz of water sprayed to cover crop/mulch layer - four applications this week

Days 85 - 91 (from sprout) 8/16/24 - 8/22/24 Watering on Loompa's Headband x TK halted now, she's starting to fade. Sweet 16 S1 & Blue Nose Pit getting 1/3 - 1/2 gallon per day. The Good Shit requiring more than a gallon per day. Feeding schedule broken into two parts per week - after this week The Good Shit will be the only plant receiving feed schedule. IPM: Visual

Days 92 - 98 (from sprout) 8/23/24 - 8/29/24 Loompa's Headband x TK fading hard this week - checking trichome color through a 15x loupe, needs more time The Good Shit drinking a gallon of water a day but slowly backed off near end of week - my guess would be a 14-week flowering period for this genotype before harvest quality I'm pretty much watering daily a 1/4 gallon to Blue Nose Pit or less to keep mulch layer from drying out Sweet 16 S1 takes the win for most trichome coverage out of the garden, has the most up-front aroma out of the geno hunt PAR is all over the place on this one and totally messed up, after this week I'll raise the light and focus on the appropriate PAR for canopy of The Good Shit Pest Management slipping too, fungus gnats are repopulating and it seems the ecosystem has encountered a serious imbalance of beneficials and predators that normally kept soil/mulch in-check Plan on short-term remedying this with a top-dress of remaining compost + em bokashi and a moderate drench of EM5 following with repeated treatments of enzymes (tweetmint) Long term solution may need a predator/beneficials kit and/or higher quality vermicompost after knocking them back with enzymes

Days 99 - 105 (from sprout) 8/30/24 - 9/5/24 Raised light above canopy of The Good Shit - PAR on main tops is 800-700+ while remaining lowers are seeing closer to 450-500 Loompa's Headband x TK fading to a close this week - trichome check starting to show amber on the bracts Sweet 16 S1 now starting senescence and a little fading on some fan leaves The Good Shit showed signs of some overwatering, so a newly made FPE was added to feed schedule to assist the microbiology Light schedule lowered to 10 hrs this week IPM: Applied enzymes (tweetmint) at a rate of 0.5 fl oz to 1/2 gallon and sprayed on cover crops + mulch throughout the week. Significant decrease in pest population, now needs a high quality compost top dressing for long term correction

Days 106 - 112 (from sprout) 9/6/24 - 9/12/24 Chopped Loompa's Headband x Triangle Kush at day 109 - trichome check looked good enough and most of the leaves were drying out. Cut down according to biodynamic moon calendar for flowers. Blue Nose Pit senescence finally noticeable this week - anthocyanin being it's main display, buds turning more purple The Good Shit has a noticeable fade starting this week now IPM: Applied enzymes (tweetmint) at a rate of 0.5 fl oz to 1/2 gallon and sprayed on cover crops + mulch

Almost made it into week 12 of flower somehow before trichomes starting to amber and senescence more complete. Will hang whole plant at roughly 68 degrees and 55% humidity for 14-16 days, ideally.

Days 113 - 119 (from sprout) 9/13/24 - 9/19/24 Chopped down Blue Nose Pit & Sweet 16 S1 at day 119 before lights on. Trichome check seemed ripe and harvest aligned with biodynamic moon calendar. The Good Shit holding a slow fade and more noticeable trichome development - I still hold to the prediction that harvest will be sometime in week 14 IPM: Applied enzymes (tweetmint) at a rate of 0.5 fl oz to 1/2 gallon and sprayed on cover crops + mulch

Days 120 - 126 (from sprout) 9/20/24 - 9/26/24 The Good Shit - week 13 of flower and trichome heads are looking far more swollen For IPM I sprayed existing mulch layer with tweetmint, followed up with topping all pots off with build a soil 3.0 and forest collected IMO's - fungus gnats almost completely eliminated overnight Pots were cover cropped with build a soil seed blend + grape tomatoes, oregano + thyme, snap peas and napoli carrots Fingers crossed harvest is on the agenda for this lady next week

Made it almost to week 13 of flower - trichomes showing only a small bit of amber but mostly just clouded up - leaves senescing but indicated maybe could've ripened longer Will hang whole plant at roughly 68 degrees and 55% humidity for 14-16 days

Almost made it to week 13 of flower - leaves were senescing fairly quickly during this week, trichome check showed only some amber occuring Will hang whole plant at roughly 68 degrees and 55% humidity for 14-16 days

Days 127 - 132 (from sprout) 9/27/24 - 10/02/24 Week 14 of flowering on The Good Shit (Dogshit x Chem '91) She's getting cut end of this week - leaves are fading completely and trichome check looks great

Chopped on day 133 - trichomes look swollen and ready - leaves faded out. Cut this according to the biodynamic moon gardening calendar and the dates did seem to align with the plant aromatics being more noticeable. Very excited to do the smoke report on this one - focusing on 60% humidity @ 60 degrees for 21 days to retain terpenes and quality.
