No kinks in the stem, nothing permantent either

Sept 9th - start of week 2 in Veg for Kashmir; week 4 for Acapulco Gold. - looks like it may be Germination week for 4 seeds that have just popped overnite - all 6 seeds failed in an attempt to germinate the Altai Sativa strain from Russia. After a couple of weeks, the soil was recycled. Just last week I filled Pots for the Kashmir and Acapulco Gold, Bang! This morning there are four identical looking Seedlings in my Week old Pottings. - its going to be interesting w/ new Diary 100% 10th - last planned piece of Shaping gear applied; acap gold A, Not permanent! - First training piece placed on acap gold B - building a humalite-based Foliar Spray, applied for the first-time.

They’ll get a little more water b4 I leave and be just fine - have a home for the the 4 new Seedlings, its on the way the wedding… alls good 14th - home mid-day, lites are on and the plants have Grown ! Alls good, bordering on spectacular - Acapulco Gold side-branches have exploded and grown 2-3” - Acapulco #2 is no longer nursing any issues. 2 pieces of training applied, now there is room. Same LST shape / plan as #1 - photos in an hour, then Kashmir #1 gets a bend - still looking at Month-end as Flip ~ 4 weeks, A.G. = 6 weeks in veg. Maybe run just past that into early Oct undecided - I’m 🎯 height management, before its an issue. Shape them, Net them… let’m go is the plan - every node is exposed to Lite on Acap Gold, its Side-Branches have responded with growth, to the shaping thats been done! First-time I think its been this obvious 15th -last day, week 2 veg for the Kashmir, end of week 4 Acapulco Gold

Sept 16th - starting week 3 of Veg for Kashmir; week 5 for Acap Gold, and the plants look So solid this morning. - last feed involved 450ml, (14th) letting the Pots get Dry this time through… - prepping the 4’ tent, moving IN this week, as soon as Kashmir B gets some gear applied. A week of big lites and FLIP early Oct is the plan 17th - holding off of a normal feed, allowing the pots to get LIGHT. Kashmir was taking too long to get dry in the small tent… thats what moved the Move up last nite. Room to breath now 18th - humic and fulvic acids are featured in the humalite-based teas. Humato KAZ is the name of this Humalite-based concentrate, which includes Azomite. - Plants fed 500ml ea of EWC tea w/ Humato kaz @10ml/L - Foliar application (misting) of Humalite based concentrate: HiDRO SiK (8-9 days) at Lites-on. This adds fulvic acid and Silica ++ to the plant immediately - 1000 ppdf - YOYO’s are working really well , upside-down, and are easy / quik to adjust! Just sayin! - also keeps the pots separate and individual. Training moves with the Pot ince its applied. 20th - acapulco golds fed 600ml, Kashmir 500ml Worm Casting Tea for breakfast; A.G. A was Dry and thirsty. Other 3 were ready * thats one bonus having holes across thenpots vertical surface, I can get a good moisture reading from anywhere in the pot! - steady growth all the way around 22nd - last day of the week - tent organized for the real deal - AG A was fed last nite, the other 3 plants fed just now: Tea featuring HUMATO KAZ - 2 autoflowers are occupying a couple corners… Double Grape from a fellow OG grower - threw a handful of composted Chicken 💩 Pellets on each plant… Bloom Fert will be coming soon

Sept 23rd - plants watered yesterday! - Week 4 for Kashmir, week 6 for Acapulco - Day 1 of Germ for Double Grape autos, they just broke ground this morning! (Sept 30th, day 1 veg) They get “at least” 2-weeks of 18-hour lighting b4 12/12 - small Kelp Meal top dressing, 2 tbsp ea., to go along with yesterdays Chicken Poo pellets. Just a quick boost 2-3 weeks before Bloom Nutes - Soil irrigations are built around concentrates from Humalite, within pH’d, EWC teas 24th - each plant was Thirsty and looks so healthy, which is an amazing thing to see. So, up to 700ml for breakfast liquids: EWC tea w/ 15ml/L of Humato KAZ. * Humalite-based concentrates contribute both Humic and Fulvic acids to the soil network. Its use Increases the Absorption rate of Nutrients through the Roots directly into the plants. This particular Veg version includes Azomite 25th - Foliar Misting done ( 8-9 day cycle) - 2 tbsp Kelp meal onto each plants soil, Scratched-in with some Mulch - 3 plants were Dry this evening, so they were watered with EWC Tea, which was brewing; 800ml each. The Kashmir B that was still moist was moved closer to the fan 26th - watered Kashmir B, moving it last nite helped dry it out; 800ml ewc Tea. Let her dry out on this next one ~ 2.5-3 days, alls good - ppdf increased to 1000 in the tent-centre (53% power) 27th - Acap Gold A was dry as can be this morning. She was fed 850ml of EWC tea - others still moist on the dry side, all looks good in the tent this morning 28th - admitted there was an issue with the lower fans on Acapulco A. Doh. FASTBUDS Chart made it an easy diagnosis, which has led to a blended soil amendment: re Magnesium &/or Potassium deficiency -Flip is in 2 weeks, so this is good timing for a mix - slight ppdf increase - plants are all showing continued growth and good health. Not making any changes for a few days. They were fed again this morning because soil showed dry. Letting the pots Each become Light before they get fed again. Leave the meter aside for this one

Sept 30th - found the Acapulco A to be a Female this morning - each plant fed 1L of EWC Tea; early morning - week 5 of Veg for the Kashmir; week 7 for the Acapulco Gold - targeting week 7 & 9 respectively for the flip = 2 more full weeks. Get a little more sexual maturity from the plants - DAY 1, WEEK 1 for the Autoflowers in the Tent; Double Grape 87 October 1st - Each plant was Dry, (not the auto DG 87’s) and was fed 1L of EWC tea with Humato KAZ @ 10ml/L. Great to see the height start taking off. Got busy, did not chase plant-sex shots, later 4th - each plant fed 1L of EWC Tea first thing in the morning; DRY - tent looks solid, heading into 5th - the end of week 5 for Kashmir; week 7 for A. Gold, in Veg. - 8 days to go until Lites-out - portraits tomorrow - tonights dinner will feature EWC tea w/ Silica-based irrigation boost; HiDRO SiK - 36 hour cycle finds 1L doing the trick. That gets boosted if pots feel light tonight. - they are Ready for week 6 & 8 - each plant fed 1.3L of EWC Tea in the pm. (volume increasing) 6th - DG 87’s (autos) have been eating EWC Tea, thats it. Today they get a Tbsp of Veg Fert and a palm full of composted chicken shit pellets between them. It’s time!!!! * And watered-in with EWC Tea (& a dusting of Kelp Meal lol)

Oct 7th - day 1 of week 6 in Veg for the KASHMIR’s, and day 1 week 8 for the ACAPULCO GOLDS - DG 87’s start week 2 of Veg today - 1.5L each to the photo-periods. 250ml to the autos (morning) 9th - each plant fed 1.5L EWC Tea with 15ml/L Humato KAZ; a.m. feed - each Double Grape 87 has exploded upwards In the last 36hrs! ! !! Big Change for the Autos 11th - early-morning feed again; 1.5L on day 6 of week 6/8 - looking to flip near the end of Next week; 7/9 - i get a couple weeks of Meal-Planning, heading into Bloom with some Heirlooms 12th - evening feed tonight featuring Branch strengthening and yield boosting Humalite concentrates 13th - Foliar Spray with HiDRO SiK tonight - airflow-time and a little defoliation where needed, now that the canopy is lifting - preparing a top-dress w/ EWC and Mulch. Ahead of next weeks Soil Amendment - discovered a Double Grape 87 autoflower that was sporting Gonads; Long-gone and a nice surprise. One works just fine, heading into an 11-week bloom cycle. Thats what the Guess-timates are predicting for genuine strains

Oct 14th - start of Week 7 in Veg for the Kashmir: week 9 for the Acapulco Gold: and week 3 of Veg for the Double Grape 87 - slight Defoliation took place b4 lites-out. Plants are being Flipped next weekend - Soil was Top-Dressed with no real Nutes: EWC / Mulch / Happy Frog - Dinner is TONIGHT! EWC tea w/ Molasses, Kelp Meal, Humato KAZ - Soil Amendments switch to 100% Bloom this coming Fri/Sat - adjusted the YoYo’s, its been awhile, and expanded their footprints 15th - Foliar Spray @ lites-on with HiDRO SiK (10ml/L); next on 23rd, maybe the last - definitely will use a more logical approach to popping holes in the Pots in the future. I’ll make them half the size. Too much water leaves the pots too quickly. Its the right idea, the holes are just a little too big. It also makes getting an accurate idea of the moisture in the pot, super-easy. you can check any location 360 on the pot. - Feedings will be more frequent in Bloom. The Next couple of feeds will be Big, with proper Dry-down time - Acapulco Golds are showing more height than the Kashmir. Kashmir are now in the back row, with the Acapulco nearest the door, and the lite is angled upwards, to keep the distances the same ~ 35cm tween Lite & Plants 16th - dinner tonight; 2L and a full dry-down. Saturday is Soil Amending day with Bloom Nutes. The next 2 liquid meals will feature the Last EWC Tea (re: Nitrogen) 17th - fed for breakfast, 60hrs since last meal; “Pots feel Lighter” - Guilt-Free 2L breakfast for ea plant, 3 hrs b4 lites-out (1L meal for DG87) - Double Grape 87 auto moves from 1-gal - 2-gal container tonight… *too much Nitrogen, in a long-flowering Sativa, can produce this Claw effect. Only 1 meal with EWC remained, so that was easy to cancel. And N2 does not play a role in the rest of the grow! The Planned Bloom-Fert for Amending (gaia green) will also be reduced by 60%, Plus, soil will Only be amended a few times. TBA 18th - transplanted Double Grape 87 auto from a 1 gal - to a 2 gallon pot. She is putting some Buds together here in week 3. Soil Amend (Bloom Fert) happens today; Not watering it in… I’m just getting it In there, Mixing it into the surface - phlizon pb-b8 640w is running now at 75% with 35-40cm to the tops; 1100ppdf - just hit my targets, heading into Flower Later next week 19th - heading into Flower/Bloom tomorrow ! - ea plant (photo-periods) was fed 1.6L this morning of another Humalite concentrate, (ie: soil enhancer, Not nutrients) incorporating Bone Meal and following the Plants shifting P&K needs [thx defharo]!! - plants have absorbed a big breakfast from 48hrs ago, lites get re-tuned today and a 12/12 begins tonight… (then in a week that time will be gently moved Up to 12.5, then 13hrs of Lite/ only 11 in Dark) Goal is to maximize Bloom potential… dropping the time again closer to Harvest 12/12 (lol Jan 1, 2025) maybe even 11/13. Tba - No more N2 in Meals 20th - Features the start of a new Lite schedule at Lites-on - 7 complete Veg weeks for Kashmir and 9 weeks for the Acapulco Gold. No more training, they are loose - scratching Only 33% of the recommended Bloom Fertilizer into this next Mulch Amendment. Such Big Nute-restrictions, due to historic sensitivity so I’ve heard. With that said; 3-gal soil = 1 tbsp gaia green bloom fert - planned 11 week Flower-cycle, Amendments may only happen 2, possibly 3x. Tba Cheers

October 20th - The Bloom cycle has been initiated and hopefully we have a Super-Crop by the end of January - heading into Flower we have a bit of N2 toxicity showing itself through the Claw-Shaped leaves… no more N2 ! - staggered nodes on all plants - each plant drank Water-last, in Veg - meals sizes are to be reduced and frequency increased - The next Soil Amend will be @ 33% of recommendation. My 3-week amend cycle May only see 2 or 3 events during this 11-week grow; tba - did a defoliation of Fan Leaves - mixing the Soil amendment into the plants tonight, regardless of when they're Fed next - Double Grape 87 auto was looked after last week.
