Good start just a boring week Transplanting next week

Transplanted into 3 gallon pot on Thursday Mostly happy frog soil-1/4 fox farm ocean forest soil because I ran out I like to do 1/2 and 1/2 usually 3tbsp per gallon Gaia green 444 5-10 tbsp ewc Light increased 40-45% throughout week

Tuesday- looking really happy lately and catching up to some of the older plants a week ahead of it (: Sunday- went camping this weekend but made sure to water before leaving. Sunday the plants were dry and ready for water when I got back. Happy to see some extra size on all the girls within just a few days(: Probably will too this plant next week it only has about a month before I flip her Veg tea next week Just watering when dry, bending beanxhes and tucking leaves for light penetration Light intensity will be increased throughout week from 45%-50% Nutrients listen in week 2

Tuesday- plant worked itself out of the lst clip, she’s a stubby little Indica so far I hope she picks up some size soon Friday-topped the plant today, some big leaves up top are blocking light but I don’t want to bend the main cola over so it stay on track with the other plants (height) Daily tasks: Just watering when dry and bending branches, tucking leaves for light penetration Light intensity will be increased throughout week from 50%-55% Nutrients listen in week 2

Week 5: Scrog net arrived so I put it up, I plan to use it when the plants get a little taller. Probably within the next week or two *Top dressing this week on 8/15-8/16* Top dressing: 3 tbspn Gaia green 444 3 tbspn Gaia green 284 10tbspn Wiggle Worm Earth Worm Castings Tuesday 8/13 - leaf tucking today hoping to get some good height gains this week, most plants are getting bushy so I want those new branches to grow into their own. Sunday 8-18 Plant was defoliated and low stress trained, still looking for more height on the plant within the next 2 weeks Daily tasks: Just watering when dry and bending branches, tucking leaves for light penetration Light intensity will be increased throughout week from 55%-60% and held there until flowering. Nutrients listen in week 5

Week 6: Tuesday- just leaf tucked today. Plants got defoliated Sunday so they got a little stressed and it pushed the water day one day back. No worries this was expected. Still hoping this one takes off soon, it has a sizable area in the tent to growninto Sunday 8/25- defoliated branches that won’t ever be anything. Lower branches are starting to take off and I need it on track with the other plants. It’s an indica so it wants to grow short and bushy but I need some height. Hopefully this will push some hormones to the tops of the branches and it’ll get taller Daily tasks: Just watering when dry and bending branches, tucking leaves for light penetration Light intensity will be kept at 60% until flowering. Nutrients listen in week 5

Week 7: Forgot to get a picture Tuesday sorry yall Transplanted into 5 gallon pot on Wednesday 8/28 Sunday 9/1: (no tea this week nutrients next week) Its getting harder to take pictures and honestly I’m over the maintenance. Defoliated today and Flipping to flower so only 2-3 more weeks of serious canopy maintenance. These girls are going to be huge and I hope to have all the usable flowers above the scrog net. The girls love the teas I give them. Always look bright and lively the following week. I’ve noticed a big difference in the trichome production when using the teas on my autos and will continue to implement them between top dressings to “super juice” the flowers.

9/2-9/7 The stretch has started Brewing a tea on 9/5 and giving on 9/7 Tea ingredients: 5 gallon water 4 tablespoons molasses 40 tablespoons earth worm casting 5 tablespoons Gaia green 444 5 tablespoons Gain green 284 5 tablespoon Down to Earth kelp meal 3 tablespoon Down to Earth alfalfa meal 5 tablespoons Gaia green rock phosphate

9/12 Defoliated heavily today Been busy the last 2 weeks so I apologize for sloppy updates and lack of picture

9/17 Just defoliating to help with light penetration when I notice new bud sites being blocked. Light increased to 75% 9/18 Brew tea for all plants in tent 36-48 hours: 5 gallon water 40 tablespoons (Wiggle Worm) organic Earth Worm Castings 4 tablespoons organic unsulfured molasses 5 tablespoons Gaia Green 444 5 tablespoons Gaia Green 284 5 tablespoon Gaia Green Rock Phosphate 5tablespoon Down To Earth Kelp Meal 4 Tablespoons Down to Earth Alfalfa Meal 9/19-give tea

Added a second scrog net for the taller plants last Friday. Constantly defoliating to increase light penetration but not trying to stress the plants. (Selective leaf picking) Plants loved the tea I have them last week. Visual improvements in every plant 2 days later. Top dressing later this week on 9/29: 5 tablespoons Gaia green 444 5 tablespoons Gaia Green 284 15 tablespoon Wiggle Worm Earth Worm Castings Light increased to 75%

Not much growin on this week just watering and letting them grow. No smell yet Increasing light to 80% Nutrients in previous week and next week

Ive been batting heat climate in my tent all week but have dialed in the humidity to stay within my vpd range. Temp is about 83-85 degrees and 60-70%RH Some plants showing signs of cal-mag deficiency… I think. Ph has always been calculated and not ever been a problem Tea last Friday 10/11: 5gallons water 60 tablespoons Earth Work Castings 8 tablespoons Gaia Green 444 8 tablespoons Gaia green 284 4 tablespoon Gaia Green Rock Phosphate 5 tablespoon Down to Earth Kelp meal 4 tablespoon Down to Earth Alfalfa Meal 4 tablespoon un sulfured organic blackstrap molasses

She looks real good, my only indica in the closet

End of week 9 from flip on 11/3 Just giving water the past 2 weeks. And these girls are starting to fade out nicely. Based on trichomes I’m expecting another 2 weeks Trichomes are mostly cloudy but no amber anywhere except sugar leaves. So not fully mature yet Lights increased to 90% and lowered 4 inches. I’m maxed out on power in my grow room during the 12 hours this big ass light is on. Also dealing with some serious heat in the tent the past 2 weeks.. the swing function on my swamp cooler stopped working so it doesn’t push air into that side of the grow room. Around 80-88 degrees but I’m keeping the humidity relative to the vpd chart so all is well just annoying because of the humidity management Thanks for reading! Check out some of my other plants with the same timeline, they will be part of this 5x5 grow and boast some serious colors and trichomes! As well as details on my process (:

11/10 Just watering this week and next week. I’ve been defoliating the dead leaves and I can finally start seeing through the trellis net again. Nothing but stacked buds in my workable area. The fade is finally starting to push through and these girls are developing some serious color and frost! Expecting 2 weeks until fully mature from this point

11/26- chopping the plants after 48 hrs of dark 11/24- start 48 hours of dark Skipped last week updates because there wasn’t anything new going on. As expected all these girls are mostly ready to harvest. I’m turning the lights off today. It’s been a long and fulfilling learning experience with all the different strains in this 5x5 grow. With it being my first big grow I learned a lot and am a little attached to these plants. Some of these girls compete with the best bud I’ve ever grown and the density is unlike anything I’ve been able to create this far. Super grateful to have been able to work with these plants in completing their lifecycle. Trichones have 5-20% amber depending on the plant and location. Opening the tent it smells like a musty fruity dank gas that slaps you and then dissipates into a relaxing fruity tropical vibe. These girls are ready. I’ll post pictures of the buds when they are 1 month into cure (about when I start dipping into the stash). Thanks to those who’ve followed along, this diary was created mainly for me to document my process so I may not be as thorough in the future we will see, I get a bit carried away with explaining. Everything I’ve done from the plants is documented so if you want to recreate or see the problems I struggled with take a look. Have fun grower, peace out ! ☮️
