2024 420FB Sour Diesel & Blue Dream Autos

Canna Pro Coco 70%/Perlite 33% in Root Riot seedling bags to start, will then transplant into final 19L fabric pots. TA – Dualpart Coco Grow, Dualpart Coco Bloom; Pro Roots & Pro Bloom, FinalPart & Flashclean. SF-2000 LED lighting, 2x4 tent with 4 inch exhaust fan and carbon filter. Growing Fast Buds 420 auto strains – May consider topping if thriving early, otherwise heavy LST. Excited to try both of these strains from Fast Buds. Sour Diesel – An easy to grow and hardy strain growers of all levels can appreciate. High in THC levels, reaching 21% with the world-famous fuel, citrus, sandalwood, and pine flavor that comes with this vintage Sativa dominant hybrid. Despite her Sativa influence, flowering time will only require 9-10 weeks from seed to harvest, making her ideal for growers who want classic, overpowering, pungent, sour terps in a short time frame. She may grow as tall as 120cm in height and will produce long, stacked buds typical of Sativa Cannabis. Blue Dream- Quick growth and yields of massive sized buds of fruity and floral sweet, citrus, pine, orange, and berry terps give this strain its well-deserved great reputation. Blue Dream Auto will be ready to harvest between 9-11 weeks, producing THC rich flowers that have tested at 22% THC. Thanks to her heavy yields, this hybrid is ideal for commercial growers in search of high potent, large yielding automatics. She will also produce a large amount of top quality sugar leaf meaning extractors can prepare the trimming nets in advance. A very aromatic and fragrant strain that is best suited for beginners who want to try a Sativa-dominant hybrid. Branches will grow quite thin, typical of Sativa plants, and when flowering commences can grow to a height of 110cm. Week one begins! Excited to try these strains, old favorites.. The burn on the tips were likely due to slow pace of transplating from root riot to seedling bags. Seedling bags were cut on all four sides and then placed inside another seedling bag to help ease transplanting from seedling bags into final container. Coco mix was added to each bag and then used .5 of grow/bloom diluted to EC's below. Seedling bags pre-soaked in EC 400 solution prior to moving cubes into bags. 17/8/2024 – BD opened day 1. 28.1C, 62% 18/8/2024 – BD day 2, 1 SD placed into root riot day 1. 28.8C, 62% 19/8/2024 – BD day 3, SD day 2. 28.8C, 60%. 20/8/2024 – BD day 4, SD day 3. Added both to seedling bags that were pre-buffered with solution! First fertigation PH 6.3, EC 400. Small area on tips of BD leaves dried (* should have placed into container day prior). 27.7C, 67% Added support to SD. 21/8/2024 – BD day 5, SD day 4. PH 6.3, EC 400 fertigation, run-off good. 26.1C, 63% 22/8/2024 – BD day 6, SD day 5. PH 6.3, EC 490 fertigation, run-off good. Fan turned on low to generate air flow in tent. 26.1C, 64%. 23/8/2024 – BD day 7, SD day 6. PH 6.17, EC 520 fertigation run-off good. 26.C, 67%. Slow...first week is slow.

Week 2 begins from seed! Will continue to watch for any Cal Mag issues, otherwise plan to increase the EC ~75-100 per day as tolerated. Will add Pro Roots to fertigations 24/8/2024 – BD day 8, SD day 7. PH 6.32, EC 575 fertigation, run-off good. 26.2C, 67% 25/8/2024 – BD day 9, SD day 8. PH 6.26, EC 650 fertigation, run-off good. Will need to monitor seedling bags to ensure they do not dry out. Placed some material to block air blowing onto seedling bag. Added Pro Roots to fertigation; since fertigation volumes are low will used every other fertigation until volumes 500cc = 1 drop Pro Roots. 26C, 67% 26/8/2024 – BD day 10, SD 9 day. PH 6.23, EC 760 fertigation, run-off good. Added 1 drop Pro Roots to 700ml volume. 26C, 67%. Added support to BD. 27/8/2024 – BD day 11, SD 10 day. PH 6.23/6.31, EC 820/820 fertigation, run-off good. Second set of leaves coming in for both plants, and just starting on third set. Added fertigation at 22:00, coco appeared dried during am session and was dry in evening session. 28/8/2024 – BD day 12, SD 11 day. PH 6.23/6.31, EC 880/820 fertigation, AM great run-off. Third set of leaves just visible. Mixed up Cal Mag 1.5 ml/L to use as foliar spray if needed, only first leaves at the moment show curling. Adjusted fan height. Consider transplanting when leaves reach side of seedling bags and at least 3 sets of leaves, possibly by day 14? 29/8/2024 – Day 13. PH 6.25/6.25 , EC 970/930 added Pro Roots. Both are working on third set of leaves with fourth set barely visible, continue to monitor for any signs of Cal Mag deficiencies. Thinking the start of week 3 from seed to transplant into final container. Growth is finally here and Sour Diesel is going to over take BD, will stick with DB's day moving forward! Slowly increase light dimming after third set of leaves develop. 30/8/2024 – Day 14. PH 6.26/6.32 , EC 1020/1020 , run-off good. Ligths increased to ~45% dimming. Good growth this week, each day growth is becoming more visiable. Increasing EC was well tolerated this week, both of these strains can handle a heavy feed from what I have read. BD has a lighter colored "vein" in one leaf, it does not appear to be getting worse and new growth appears normal, will monitor. Considerations for next week - transplant to 19L fabric pots (day 15/16?), slowly increase EC, change to Veg feeding ratios, and LST vs Topping.

Week 3 from seed begins! Both had a great week last week with no deficiencies noted, tolerated the increase in EC, adding additional leaves and moving out of the seedling stage into early vegetation. Leaves were just at the edge of the seedling bags. Temps avg last week - 26.8C, 64%. Expect humidity to raise due to large 19L pots. Transplanted both into final pots. Coco was prepped with PH/EC solution prior to transplant. Seedling bags were cut away and seedlings transplanted off-center for LST training. Changed to Veg feeding ratios, added CalMag to dilute to EC. Considerations for the week - 1. Continue to slowly increase EC as tolerated 2. Slowly increase light intensity and lower height. *(Veg 35-40cm, 60-90%) 3. LST vs Topping later this week. Want to give them time to adjust to the new containers. 4. BD has a lighter colored "vein" in one leaf, it does not appear to be getting worse and new growth appears normal, will monitor. ***Most likely a nutrient splash. 31-8-2024 Day 15. BD 6 cm in height, slightly ahead by a day and a node, working on 4th set of leaves. PH 6.26, EC 1120. SD 8 cm in height, behind by a day and a node, working on her 3rd set of leaves, visually she is larger in width and height. PH 6.23, EC 1130. 1-9-2024 Day 16. PH 6.0, EC 1080, 2l each to ensure good saturation of coco, run-off great. Decreased light height to 47cm, increased to 50% dimming, continue to lower height and increase the dimming. No stunting noted with transplant into final pot yesterday, growth continues. Will increase EC tomorrrow. 2-9-2024 Day 17. PH 5.96, EC 1140. 1.5L each to ensure good saturation of coco, run-off great. Decreased light height to 40cm, increased dimming to 55%. Growth continues. 26C/81% OK with extra humdity for now. Added yellow trap to each fabric pot. 3-9-2024 Day 18. PH 6.06, EC 1160. 1.5L each to ensure good saturation of coco, run-off great, will try 1L. Light dimming increased to 60%. LST started on BD with support to base stem, will start SD tomorrow. 26.3C, 80%. Started dehumidifier in room. 4-9-2024 Day 19. PH 5.96, EC 1140. 1L each with great run-off. Lights at 40cm & 60% Dim. Adjusted LST on BD. LST started on SD with stem support. SD is a bit taller. 26.4C, 76%. 5-9-2024 Day 20. PH 6.06, EC 1175. 2L each with great run-off, will lower volume tomorrow, concern with coco drying out. light 40 cm, dimming increased to 65%. Adjusted LST on both plants and will adjust later this evening, branches are developing. 26C, 69%. 6-9-2024 Day 21. PH 5.96, EC 1190. 2L each with great run-off. Lights 40cm, dimming increased to 70%. Adjusted and added to the LST for both. Branches are developing well and should be able to begin LST on new branches. Height on both around 9cm. Using 2.3x (50%) nuts, with 1.5ml cal mag in 4.2L to get around 1190 EC. Pro Roots stopped, wanted to feed for a few days post transplant. Week 3 from seed draws to close seeing both plants move from seedling to veg stage. Very pleased and excited by the growth, good color and no deficiencies noted this week! LST training started and both plants responding well to training by begining to develop branches off the main stem. BD is bushy with short internodal spaces and reminds me of my last grow with Strawberry Gorilla; SD has focused on height with more spacing between nodes showing her satvia background. SD is my first plant that has demonstrated a more sativa influence so it will be interesting to watch her develop with my LST attempt. Next week's plan 1. Continue LST and begin to spread out the new branches 2. Increase EC as tolerated 3. Increase light dimming (60-90% veg) 4. Watch for signs of flower later at the end of next week.

Week 4 - Growth continues, color is good, LST, increase in light intensity and EC all tolerated well. Branches are beginning to develop. Humidity was slightly high last week will work on lowering, not too concerned at the moment as plants are still young. Very pleased no deficiencies noted with good growth, expect explosive growth this week! Plan for the week. 1. LST adjustments and supports to spread out canopy and break apical dominance 2. Slowly increase EC (both strains can handle high feeds) 3. Increase light dimming (Veg 35-40cm/60-90%) 4. Watch for signs of pre-flowering (more likely next week) 5. Lower humidity 7-9-2024 Day 22. PH 6.01, EC 1270. 1L volume with good run-off. LST adjusted, light height 40cm, increased dimming to ~72%. Exhaust fan added and set to ~25%. 8-9-2024 Day 23. PH 5.9, EC 1270 with 1L volume to both plants. PH 6.01, EC 1310 with 1L to both plants. Run-off great. 25.6C, 66% averages over the last 24 hours, better humidity control with exhaust fan in tent and dehumidifer running in room. Dimming set to ~76%. Both plants are developing mutiple branches, LST adjusted. 9-9-2024 Day 24. PH 6.01, EC 1340, 1.5L vol both plants, great run-off. Light checked 40cm, increase dimming to 80%. Plants appear to be tolerating the slow increase in lighting and EC. Will increase EC, and end of week/next week increase lighting again. LST adjusted, leaf tucking and additional support applied, plants are developing branches that are then LST'ed. Color and growth look good with each day building on the last. Lots of improvement since the beginning of the week! 10-9-2024 Day 25. PH 6.05, EC 1400, 1.5L vol, good run-off. No changes to lighting, will verify height tomorrow. LST adjusted and more branches tied down. Plants rotated with main branches facing toward center of tent. 26.5C, 65% average over the last 24 hours, temps/humidity consistant. 3 small leaves that were shaded and touching the coco were removed from BD, this is the first bit of trimming for either plant. 11-9-2024 Day 26. PH 5.93, EC 1440, 2L vol, good run-off. No changes to lighting 40cm/80% dimming. 26.3C, 63%. Both plants showing good daily growth requiring LST adjustments and leaf tucking. Sour Diesel developing nicely loving her structure, very easy to work with; Blue Dream is crazy bushy reminding me of my Strawberry Gorilla grow from 2023, this one will have lots of branches. 12-9-2024 Day 27. PH 6.02, EC 1480, 2L vol, great run-off. Lighting height raised to 40cm/80% dimming. 25.8C 65%. ****Sour Diesel self-topped above the 5th node if I am counting correctly; and one large fan leaf was removed. My LST was too aggressive, will be more gentle, good learning experience! Was thinking of topping these plants, but with only two plants I was concerned about stunting. This does not appear to be a problem for Sour Diesel at the moment, she just keeps on rolling! Not concerned. Removed a few leaves from BD that were either touching the coco or were simply completly shaded with no hope of seeing the light... 19-9-2024 Day 28. PH 6.0, EC 1480, 1.5L vol with good run-off. LST adjusted and loads of leaf tucking. SD appears to have tolerated topping well, growth is amazing! Removed a few leaves off each and one of the first node branches from SD that was completly shaded and had chance to see the light. Week 4 is complete. Lots of growth as anticipated (day 22 vs day 28), no signs of pre-flower this week, no deficiencies noted. Sour Diesel was topped accidently ~ day 27 and is not slowing down, shape looks great with mutiple branches developing, she is 18cm tall at her high point. Blue Dream is a monster just stacking nodes all week and is 16cm tall (both have grown fairly horizontal so height is taller). Plan for week 5 1. Will continue to spead out and leaf tuck 2. Defoliation as needed 3. Watch for pre-flower 4. Consider supporting SD branches where she was topped as branches get heavy - (ScrOG)

Week 5 from seed begins, roots are well established as evidenced by them poking out of the fabric pots. Last week showed great growth with both plants bulking up nicely, light intensity increased to 80% and EC increases. Sour Diesel self-topped around day 27 resulting in 6-8 branches, will need to monitor the two branches at the "top" to ensure they can support the weight, otherwise it did not appear to slow her growth, a Bob Ross "happy little accident"! She has a great shape with most branches around the same height. Blue Dream is slightly shorter at 16cm and continues to bush out, lots of leaf tucking, just a green monster. Plan 1. Continue LST/Leaf tucking to expose branches 2. Defoliation as needed to increase light exposure and air circulation 3. Watch for pre-flower 4. May need to add small stand to ensure good lighting for BD 14-9-2024 Day 29. PH 6.01, EC 1420, 2L with good run-off. Leaf tucking continues, and light defoliation of BD leaves that are shaded. Lights at 40cm and 80%. 15-9-2024 Day 30. PH 5.85, EC 1440, 1.5L with good run-off. Leaf tucking, LST adjusted and light defoliation on both. Added a riser to BD so height is inline with SD. Lights at 38cm and 80%. Both plants continue to expand to edges of the pots and beyond. Will verify light height tomorrow and increase intensity. 16-9-2024 Day 31. PH 6.04, EC 1250, 2L with great run-off. Lights at ~36cm and 80%. Will increase height and dimming tomorrow. Decreased EC as plants look a little green, will decrease for a few days. No signs of pre-flower. Leaf tucking, LST and light defoliation on both to increase light to branches and air flow. 17-9-2024 Day 32. PH 6.06, EC 1240, 2L with great run-off. Lights adjusted to 38cm and dimming increased to 85%.Lots of leaf tucking on BD and some leaf removal. LST adjusted on both. Mid-week looking good, growth is explosive; pre-flower seems imminent! Will continue to work on spreading out branches. 18-92024 Day 33. *********FlashClean 2ml/L, 2.5L with great run-off. Preflower signs noted on both, will switch to preflower strenght nutrients with the ProBloom tomorrow. LST adjusted and a few supports removed, Leaf tucking and light defoliation on both. Lights adjusted to 38cm and 90% dimming. (My previous diary with FB Strawberry Gorilla also had signs of preflower day 33 and was flushed with FlashClean, simply an observation) 19-9-2024 Day 34. PH 6.03, EC 1260, 3.5/2.5L with great run-off. Preflower feeding schedule started with ProBloom added. Lots of leaf tucking and removal of few leaves. LST adjusted and removed from a few branches, will continue to adjust and remove. Lights are at 36cm/90% dimming, will monitor height daily (flower 30-35cm). Week almost closed out and both are beginning to stretch. 26cm/30cm in height, both gained ~10 cm in height since the beginning of the week. 20-9-2024 Day 35. PH 5.90, EC 1225, 2.5L with good run-off, they seem thirsty! LST adjusted and several removed, loads of leaf tucking and some minor defolation on both, including a few secondary branches. Lights at 35cm/90% will verify daily. What a week, lots of growth, small burns noted on a new tips quickly resolved by backing down to ~1200EC, and light defoliation. FlashClean used prior to start of preflower schedule, ProBloom added. BD continues to expand in all directions requiring lots of leaf tucking and more defoliation, she is ~ 30cm. SD wants to grow vertically, most of the LST has been removed, just a few leaves defoliated, a couple of secondary branches and the other first node branch, she is ~34 cm. Next week plan 1. LST adjusted/removal, leaf tucking 2. Light defolation 3. Verify light height daily

Week 6 begins in preflower! Nice growth/development/color last week with no issues noted. Height increased 30/34cm or ~12cm in height. Most LST as been removed, light defoliation on each with tons of leaf tucking to expose sites. Plan for the week 1. Continue to light defoliate as needed to expose branches 2. LST adjusted 3. Check light height 30-35cm 4. Consider plant stand on BD if height difference increases 6. Consider flower schedule ~ day 46 7. Consider ScrOG net later in week to open things up 21-9-2024 Day 36. PH 5.88, EC 1180, 2.5L each with good run-off. May need to increase BD volumes as her run-off is less, but still with ~10%. LST and very light defoliation continues with removal of 5 leaves and a couple of small branches. Leaf tucking continues. Light ~32cm/90%. May need to raise temp probe and fans. 22-9-2024 Day 37. PH 6.03/6.05, EC 1190/1140, 3.5L each with great run-off, both are thirsty. LST adjusted and leaf tucking with light defoliation of 3 minor branches and few fan leaves off both. Light adjusted to ~34cm/90%. Temp probe raised. 23-9-2024 Day 38. PH 6.03/6.01, EC 1120/1220, 3/2.5L each with good run-off. Added PM fertigation with 2l each, run-off good. LST Adjusted, leaf tucking and defoliation of several fan leaves and a few minor branches. Lights height verified. 24-9-2024 Day 39. PH 6.0/6.05 , EC 1170/1200, 2L each with great run-off. LST added to SD to try and even out canopy, defoliation of several branches and fan leaves off each. Will only remove a few leaves tomorrow in order to not stress the plants and light defoliation over the next week. New tips were noted to be burned on SD and slight color changes to both earlier this week. On 23-9 noted to have overfed as I misread the line on the chart, was feeding 6/5 and should have been 6/4 (grow/bloom), identified yesterday am and will try 2 fertigation sessions x day to try and flush out any overfeed. May consider hanging netting at end of the week. 25-9-2024 Day 40. PH 6.10/6.01 , EC 1180/1170 , 2.5/1.5L with great run-off. Light raised to 32cm/90%. Adjusted LST on SD, canopy is fairly even. 26-9-2024 Day 41. PH 6.06/6.0 , EC 1180/1200 , 2/1.5L with great run-off. Lights raised to 33cm/90%. Canopy is fairly even bwtween the two. BD has ~5 main branches, and SD ~4-6 branches and the growth has been outstanding with both plants. Defoliated BD as she is bush and would like to improve the airflow. SD will get a light defoliation tomorrow. Raised fan. 27-9-2024 Day 42. PH 5.98/ , EC1280 2.5/2L with great run-off. Lights raised to 34cm/90%. Raised temp probe. Defoliated SD removed several branches and fan leaves. Week 6 draws to a close and finds both plants gaining height to 48/50cm or ~16-18cm for the week, despite my misread of the nutrient schedule. Switched to 2x daily fertigation, once volume demand goes down, likely next week, will switch back to 1x when able. Both look amazing, impressed by their resilience and loving their structure. Plan for week 7 1. Continue to verify light height daily 2. Adjust fans and temperature probe as needed 3. Switch to flower schedule around Day 46 4. Defloliate once stretch is complete 5. Consider ScrOG net to support branches and to continue to open up canopy

Week 7 is off to a good start, great growth last week, height ~ 50/54 cm, color improved, and no issues noted. LST started on SD to help even out the canopy was successful. Light defoliation on each last week. Fertigation x2 daily as volumes increased, hope to change to once a day when volumes slow. Plan for the week 1. Continue to lightly defoliate as needed to expose branches or increase air flow 2. Check light height daily, temp probe and fans 3. Consider flower schedule ~ day 46 or once stretch is complete (this week?) 4. Consider ScrOG net 5. Consider defoliation after stretch 28-9-2024 Day 43. PH 5.98/6.1 , EC 1250/1080, 2.5/2L with good run-off. Removed a few fan leaves off both. Raised light to 34cm/90%. 29-9-2024 Day 44. PH 6.08/6.09, EC 1140/1100 , 2.5/2L with good run-off. Noted slight burn tips on new growth with SD, reduced ~EC1100. Removed a few fan leaves from SD and several branches/fans from BD. Raised light to 34cm, raised fan and temp probe. Growth is impressive, defoliated several secondary branches/fans from BD, and a few fan leaves from SD. Gotta give BD a rest from defoliation for a few days, she is just thick. 30-9-2024 Day 45. PH 6.12/6.01, EC 1160/1130, 2.5/2L with good run-off. Raised light 34cm, and fan. No defoliation. 1-10-2024 Day 46. ****** FlashClean PH 6.03/6.06, EC */1120. 2.5L/2L with good run-off. Raised light 34cm, and fan. Defoliated several branches and fan leaves from SD. Started flower schedule PM. 2-10-2024 Day 47. PH 6.07/5.95 , EC 1080/1160 , 2.5/2L with good run-off. Raised light to 35cm. Took BD out of the tent for defolation, removing most of the large fan leaves blocking flower sites and to increase air flow. There are likely more leaves to be removed in the next few days, will let her recover for a couple days and make another assessment. SD will need a defolation session tonight/tomorrow of large fan leaves as well. 3-10-2024 Day 48. PH 6.03/6.07 , EC 1160/1140, 2.5/2L with good run-off. Raised light to 35cm/90%, will increase intensity and lower to ~30cm once the rapid growth slows. Took SD out of the tent for defolation, removing many large fan leaves blocking flower sites and to increase air flow. Will likely need a few leaves removed in next few days, will let her recover. Was much more selective on SD as she does not have many leaves. Will get a more accurate measurement tomorrow, but SD appears to be ~70cm, when will she stop growing? Both plants are robust and resilent. 4-10-2024 Day 49. PH 5.97/ EC 1150/ , 2/2L with good run-off. Raised light to 35cm/90% and raised temp probe. Removed a few leaves off BD that were shading flower sites. Height for each ~68 & 77cm respectively. Raised BD up so both are now even in height to the light. Week 7 is complete, with amazing height increases, switching to flower schedule and significant defoliation on both. So impressed by these two strains, both appear to have tolerated the defoliation well. Hoping to move back to 1x daily fertigation schedule. Plan for week 8 1. Verify light, temp and fan height daily 2. Defoliate lightly as needed 3. Monitor fertigation volumes - switch to x1 daily when/if demand slows

Week 8 begins in flower. Height ~ 70/77 cm, 20cm increase on both, stems are ~ 3cm in diameter, color looks good and no issues noted. Fertigation x2 daily as volumes increased to ~4L x24hrs, hope to change to once a day when volumes slow. Working on lowering the temps and humidity. Defoliated BD on day 47 and again day 50, she will need one additional defolation. She is a thick plant! SD was defolated on day 48, will lightly defoliate in the next few days. SD while being behind by 1 day, she seems a little more mature than BD, budlets are slightly bigger. Plan for the week 1. Continue to lightly defoliate/lst both as needed to expose branches or increase air flow 2. Check light height daily, temp probe and fans 3. Monitor fertigation volumes - switch to x1 daily when/if demand slows 4. Decrease temps and humidity 5-10-2024 Day 50. PH 5.95, EC 1120, 2L each with good run-off. Defoliated many fan leaves from BD, will give her a rest and try again on day 54. Removed 2-3 fan leaves from SD. Raised light to 34cm/90%. Temp probe raised and fans adjusted. 6-10-2024 Day 51. PH 6.09/6.0, EC 1180/1160, 4.5/3L with good run-off. Attempting to switch back to once a day fertigations as pots were heavy last night and humidity is a concern and my oscillating fan quit oscillating yesterday. A replacement should arrive next week. Defoliated SD to improve air flow and light penetration, this will be the last major defoliation on SD. Will remove leaves as needed, going to give her a rest. 15-20 fan leaves were removed from BD. Can only mix up 6L at time, both concentrations were given this am. 7-10-2024 Day 52. PH 6.05/6.06, EC 1120/1200 4.5/3L with good run-off. Using LST to open up a few branches and removed a few leaves off both. Lights raised to 32cm/90%. Faint sweet smell noted, kinda earthy. All appears well... 8-10-2024 Day 53. PH 6.01/6.02 , EC 1130/1200, 4.5/3l with good run-off. Raised lights to 33cm and increased dimming to ~95%, most of vertical growth seems to have slowed. Will monitor for any light stress and continue to verify height. BD will need another round of defoliation outside the tent later this week. Removed a few leaves that were in contact with the tent. Some of the pistil tips of SD appeared to have reddened! She is slightly ahead of her sister and will likely be harvested a bit before BD. 9-10-2024 Day 54. PH 5.98/5.96, EC 1190/1200, 4/4L with good run-off. Raised lights to 34cm/95%. Removed a few leaves off each and positioned BD in tent. 10-10-2024 Day 55. PH 5.95/5.98, EC 1200/1210, 5/4L with good run-off, they are thirsty. Lights at 34cm/100%. SD continues to bulk up and must be close to her final height. BD is bushy again, I have been trying to give her a rest from daily defoliation. No defoliation today. Fan arrived yesterday and has improved the air flow considerbly, big improvement over the last fan. 11-10-2024 Day 56. PH 6.01/6.0, EC 1160/1190, 4/3L with good run-off. Lights at 34cm/100%, no issues noted. Removed a few fan leaves off both plants. Thinking BD could benefit from one more defoliation, SD can be managed on as needed basis. Week 8 - Flower sites are filling out and the vertical stretch has slowed. Some of the sugar leaves on SD are beginning to show signs of trichome development! BD should not be too far behind. BD is ~72cm, so a 4cm increase increase over the week. SD is ~84cm, so a 7cm increase over the week. EC slowly raised to 1200 with no issues noted. Switched to daily fertigation this week with no issues noted. Volume requirements are more than I would like for single fertigations. BD is close to 4L with SD 3L. Typically mix 6L at a time, then mix 3L. Plan for next week 1. Continue to lightly defoliate/lst as needed to expose branches or increase air flow 2. Check light height daily, temp probe and fans 3. Monitor fertigation volumes 4. Decrease humidity 5. Defoliate BD outside of tent 6. Inspect SD outside of tent

Week 9 begins with both plants slowing down in vertical growth 4 & 7cm respectively last week, total 72/84cm. Tolerating increase in light intensity at 100% ~ 33cm from canopy. Initial trichome development noted on SD 11-10-2024, she has ~ 6-7 main colas. BD has ~ 5 main colas with numerous other flower sites, she is stacking up nicely. Flowers continue to increase in size, color is good, no issues noted. Plan for the week 1. Defoliate as needed 12-10-2024 Day 57. PH 6.0/5.98, EC 4/3L with good run-off. Defoliated many leaves and 3 small branches from BD. I did leave more leaves in the "front" which I can take off in the next couple of days without removing her from the tent. SD needs a few leaves in the "back" and will pull her out for a good inspection and removal of a few leaves. 13-10-2024 Day 58. PH 5.95/5.93, EC 1220/1150, 5/4L with great run-off. Pulled SD out of the tent and defoliated many leaves from SD. Quite a bit more than I initally thought I would need to remove, but this is likely the last major defoliation; will defoliate as needed moving forward with both. Using my thumb to defoliate noted things are getting sticky and a very pleseant smell! Lights remain at ~35cm and 100%. No defoliation on BD, will try to give both a rest. 14-10-2024 Day 59. PH 5.98/5.94, EC 1170/1200, 4.5/3L with good run-off. 15-10-2024 Day 60. PH 6.04/6.0, EC 1220/1230, 5/4L with good run-off. Lights raised to 34cm/100%. Smells improving each day, sweet. 16-10-2024 Day 61. PH 6.02/6.0, EC 1280/1190, 5/3L with good run-off. Both now have a few scattered red pistils, ProBloom ran out today and was order, should arrive soon. 17-10-2024 Day 62. PH 6.02/5.98, EC 1210/1210, 5/3.5L with great run-off. Lights at 33cm/100%. Removed ~ 5 fan leaves from BD. All seems well as the week draws to a close. Switched to PM fertigations until the volumes slow, I have the time now to do 2x daily hand fertigations. PM PH 6.02, EC 1180, 3/2L. 18-10-2024 Day 63. PH 6.0/6.07 , EC 1140/1120 , 3/2L & 2/2L with great run-off. Lights at 33cm/100%. Removed ~5 fan leaves from BD, ~3 from SD. ProBloom added to PM fertigation. Week 9 wraps up and finds both bulking up, flowers getting sticky with improving smells. A few scattered pistils are beginning to turn red. Defoliated Day 57 & 58. Vertical growth at 75 & 86 cm, slowed to just 2-3 cm over the past 7 days. Next week - 1. Easy defoliation as needed 2. Begin to practice taking trichome photos (not ready, but I need to practice...the microscope camera is a challenge 3. Switch to FinalPart ~ 2 weeks out, followed by FlashClean x24 hrs and then water

Week 10 - The ladies continue to amaze me! Defoliated both last week (Day 57/58) and appeared to be well tolerated, only removing small amounts of leaves that either have grown into other flower sites, block flower sites, or increase air flow over the last two days. Switched back to twice daily fertigations as volumes have not quite slowed down, although SD is ~1.75-2L and BD 2-2.25L, ProBloom added back to schedule last evening. 3 & 2 cm of height increase, lights at ~33cm/100%. Will verify light height and can lower to ~30cm per Spider Farmer as growth slows. Blue Dream continues to bulk up, a few scattered red pistils, and volumes are ~4l. Based on other diaries with coco she looks ~3-4 weeks out, this week should provide a more accurate estimate on time to complete for both plants. Sour Diesel seems to have slowed up a bit, volumes slowing, some fading of top fan leaves noted, and more pistils are beginning to turn red. The one flower site I touched was firm! Smells kind like pine, yummy! Best guess on SD is 3 weeks out, one more week to bulk up and more pistils to turn red, will begin to check trichomes later this week (early, but good practice). First sativa strain so her internodal spacing and structure looks much different than my other grows.  Plan 1. Defoliate as needed 2. Practice trichome photos 3. Switch to FinalPart ~ 2.5 weeks out 19-10-2024 Day 64. PH 6.06/5.99, EC 1270/1200, 2.25/1.75L with good run-off. Maybe able to decrease SD volume on next fertigation. A few fan leaves removed. 20-10-2024 Day 65. PH 6.0/6.01, EC 1200/1200 , 2.25/1.75L (2/1.75L) with good run-off. 21-10-2024 Day 66. PH 6.08/6.04 , EC 1200/1200 , 2.25/2L with good run-off. A few small fan leaves removed. 22-10-2024 Day 67. PH 6.05/6.05 , EC 1200/1140 , 2.5/2L with good run-off. More SD pistils are beginning to turn orange. 23-10-2024 Day 68. PH 6.01/6.0 , EC 1190/1150 , 2.25/2L (2/1.75L) with good run-off. Smells increasing. 24-10-2024 Day 69. PH 6.0/6.0, EC 1210/1140, 2/1.75L (2/1.75) with good run-off. More and more SD pistils continue to change to turn orange, will get some trichome pictures. Should be close to starting "FinalPart" (flush/finishing nutrients) on her for her final 2 weeks or so...when to start? Looking at similar diaries ~3 weeks. 25-10-2024 Day 70. PH 5.99/ , EC 1170/ , 2.25/1.75 with good run-off. Captured a few trichome pictures from mutiple sites on SD, appears mostly cloudy, some clears, no amber. Pistils ~40% orange on SD. Calibrated hygrometer using the small cap of salt with a few drops of water in a sealed container for 12 hours. Week 10 is complete and finds both plants slowing down on growth for the week ~76/86cm, so maybe a cm growth in height. BD likely needs 3+ weeks, one more week to fill in and then a couple of weeks to bulk up. SD is likely ~2-3 weeks, will start FlashClean tomorrow and then FinalPart, trichomes appear mostly cloudy with some scattered clear, no amber. Most of the SD diaries that I viewed complete in 10-12 weeks so she is getting close! Smells are becomming more pronounced! Plan for the week. 1. FlashClean and then FinalPart for SD. 2. Monitor trichomes on both. 3. Defoliate as needed.

Week 11 from seed begins with smells becomming more pronounced. Rust spots noted on both plants. I was trying to slowly decrease the cal mag, but will increase, again gotta pay to CalMag coco tax. Growth has more or less stopped on both. Last week saw more filling in between nodes on BD, some bulking up and a few pistils turning orange. Volumes on twice daily fertigations is ~2L. She has 5 colas that are mostly equal in height plus mutiple other bulky colas; what a beast! SD had quite a few pistils turn orange ~40%, trichomes seemed cloudy with some clear on mutiple flower sites. SD has 1.75L twice daily fertigations with great run-off, perhaps can be decreased to 1.5L? I believe she has some time remaining, but with how quickly her pistils changed wanted to begin FlashClean followed by FinalPart to remove any salt build up. SD has 6 colas of similar height with several other good sized flower sites; she looks dank and greasy. Plan for the week 1. Switch SD to FinalPart after FlashClean 2. Slightly increase CalMag 3. Defoliate/LST as needed to increase airflow and light penetration 4. Monitor trichomes on both 5. When to switch BD to Final Part? End of week? 26-10-2024 Day 71. BD PH 6.08, EC 1200, 2/2L with great run-off. SD PH 6.06 *****FlashClean 2.5L/1.75L with great run-off. 27-10-2024 Day 72. BD *****FlashClean PH 5.96/5.95, 2L/2L with great run-off. With the grow question, decided to flush BD to reduce any nitrogen in the coco. Do I go back to same feeds for a week or so until she bulks up then switch to FinalPart or simply switch to FinalPart? If I switch back to flowering schedule with BD would I run into too much nitrogen again? SD PH 6.02/6.02, EC 1170/1220, 1.75L with great run-off. Removed a few fan leaves and supported a few of the side branches so they do not lean into the tent. 28-10-2024 Day 73. PH 6.07/5.96, EC 1240/1180 , 2.25/1.75L with great run-off. Using FinalPart on both plants without additional CalMag. Trichomes on BD seem cloudy with some clear, flowers need to bulk up. 29-10-2024 Day 74. PH 6.02/6.05 , EC 1180/1180 , 2.25L/1.75L with great run-off. Smells continue to improve, fading of leaves beginning. SD flower sites are dense, pistils quickly turning orange (60-80%) will continue to check trichomes daily on SD and every other day will check BD. More BD pistils are beginning to turn orange, flowers are frosty. 30-10-2024 Day 75. PH 6.04/6.0 , EC 1220/1200 , 2.5/1.75L with great run-off. Removed a few leaves off both. Smells are impressive! SD pistils continue to turn orange ~80%; BD pistils are turning orange. 31-10-2024 Day 76. PH 6.06, EC 1220, 2.5/1.5 L with good run-off. Removed a few leaves off both. Will post some BD trichome pictures tomorrow to end the week, but look mostly cloudy with some clear. 11-1-2024 Day 77. Missed last evening fertigation. PH 6.02/5.98, EC 1200/1250, 4L/3L with great run-off. Removed a few leaves. End of week 11 and these two continue to bulk up. SD pistils are ~80-90% orange, leaves are fading, trichomes are cloudy with some clear, no changes in height, flowers are dense, and I think I am getting smells of pine with something else. Day 6 of FinalPart. Next week will be chop time for her. BD is a massive plant, pistils are starting to turn ~40%, leaves starting to fade, trichomes are cloudy with clear, flowers are becoming more dense, and smells sweet. Day 5 FinalPart. BD has time and I wonder how long I can truely run FinalPart. My feedchart from TA shows 10-14 days, bottle show up to 10 days in coco. Should be fine just running FinalPart until she finishes. There is ~10 more days of running FinalPart so she has time to ripen & do her thing. Plan for next week 1. Daily monitoring of SD trichomes 2. Everyother day check of BD trichomes 3. SD harvest time? 4. Flush - FlashClean x2days, then H2O to maintain run-off EC @

Week 12 from seed begins and all seems well. SD pistils are ~80-90% orange, leaves are fading, trichomes are cloudy with some clear, no changes in height, flowers are dense, and I think I am getting smells of pine and ?. She pushed out what maybe her final gasp of pistils. She looks amazing! BD is massive, her pistils are starting to turn ~40%, leaves starting to fade, trichomes are cloudy with clear, flowers are becoming more dense, and smell pine with hints of citrus. Day 6 FinalPart. BD seems to be in no hurry to finish and I wonder how long I can run FinalPart. My feedchart from TA shows 10-14 days, FinalPart user guide reads up to 10-13 days in coco, and can be adjusted to plant. Should be fine just running FinalPart until she finishes. Plan for the week 1. Daily monitoring of SD trichomes 2. Every other day check of BD trichomes 3. SD harvest time? End of week? 4. Flush/clean - FlashClean x2days, then H2O to maintain run-off EC @ less than 200 x 48hrs -then harvest 2-11-2024 Day 78. PH 6.07/6.09, EC 1230/1240, 2/1.5L with good run-off. SD has slowed down to ~1.5L each fertigation, BD can likely be decreased. Removed a few fan leaves. FinalPart Day 7/6. 3-11-2024 Day 79. PH 6.08/6.0, EC 1190/1230, 2/1.5L with good run-off. Removed a few leaves. FinalPart Day 8/7. 4-11-2024 Day 80. PH 6.08/6.08 , EC 1200/1250, 2/1.5L with good run-off. FinalPart 9/8. Trichome photos are from multiple flower sites, normally about 1 in 10-15 photos are usable. 5-11-2025 Day 81. PH 6.09/6.01 , EC 1250/1180 , 1.75/1.75L 1.75/1.5L with good run-off. More trichome pictures for today from multiple flower sites (SD 3&4 photo is from smaller lower flowers). Removed a few leaves. BD's fade becoming more pronounced and pistils ~40-50% have turned orange, trichomes more cloudy and some clear. Both continue to push out new pistils, SD much less. FinalPart days 10/9. 6-11-2024 Day 82. PH 5.99/6.03, EC 1170/1200, 2/1.5L with good run-off. SD there appears to be a few amber in pics #2 & 3 today, getting close. BD is cloudy with clear, and more of her leaves are fading. FinalPart days 11/10. 7-11-2024 Day 83. PH 6.0/5.95 , EC 1150/1130 , 2/1.5L with good run-off. SD is pushing out another round of new pistils, ~90% of her pistils have turned, her colors are amazing, flowers are dense and I sense smells of pine; she should be close. FinalPart days 12/11. 8-11-2024 Day 84. PH 6.03/ , EC 1200/ , 2/1.5L with good run-off. FinalPart days 13/12. Trichome pictures this am from lower flower sites on SD have mostly cloudy, and a few amber and clear. PM camera microscope on second level canopy flowers had scattered amber in most every picture on SD. A little amber is fine for SD, this is probably about right. Week 12 ends and finds both plants fading nicely with no issues noted. SD to be harvested early next week post flush. BD continues to bulk up so has 1-2 weeks remaining? She will let me know. Likely end of week 14 to flush. Removed a few leaves from each every other day. Plan 1. Monitoring of trichomes 2. Flush/clean - FlashClean x2days, then H2O to maintain run-off EC @ less than 200 x 48hrs -then harvest 3. Harvest SD

Week 13 from seed begins. Both plants continue to fade and the smells are great. My two PH pens died last week after their third calibration. I have the PH test drops from TA and with my fertigation "formula" with FinalPart, it should be able to carry BD until the end. The flushing/cleaning of Sour Diesel begins. Noted the occasional amber on lower flower sites last week, and last evening noticing a few amber on majority of the photos taken at multiple flower sites on the second level of her canopy. Will FlashClean x 2 days, followed by water to runoff EC less than 200 x48 hours. She is around 86cm, flower sites are dense and covered in frost. She has bulked up nicely, I am really pleased with how she has turned out and glad I waited. Super excited to see how tastes as she looks amazing. Blue Dream is moving along as more leaves fade and her pistils are ~ 50% orange, trichomes are cloudy and clear. She is bulky and I want to support her branches, but will wait until SD is out of the tent so I can center her under the light and either use the ScrOG net for support or add a few additional supports to her branches. Plan for the week 1. Clean SD and harvest 2. Monitor trichomes 3. Defoliate lightly 4. Reposition BD in tent once SD is harvested 6. Support BD branches as needed 9-11-2024 Day 85. PH ~6, EC 1120, 2L with great run-off for BD. Switching to daily fertigation for BD. FinalPart day 13. Removed a few leaves off both. FlashClean 3ml/L x 6L & 4L with tons of run-off from SD. Will FlashClean x2 daily, followed by H2O x2 daily. Day 1. 10-11-2024 Day 86. PH ~6, EC 1120, 4L with great run-off. Can likely back down to 3L tomorrow. FinalPart day 14. Removed a few leaves from BD. Will take some trichome photos this evening, BD is getting heavy and I need to add some additional supports... FlashClean 3ml/L x3L & with tons of run-off for SD. Day 2, tomorrow only water. 11-11-2024 Day 87. FinalPart day 15; PH ~6, EC 1180, 4L with great run-off from BD. Removed a few leaves. Trichome pictures cloudy with some clear and scattered amber. Getting closer! SD had 4/10 L with great run-off. Day 1 just water and run-off EC 230. 12-11-2023 Day 88. FinalPart Day 16; PH ~6, EC 1150, 4L with great run-off. Removed a few leaves from BD. Her pistils are ~80% orange. SD had 3/6L , with run-off EC 160. Smells are so good, kind of floral and sweet. Tomorrow will harvest day for her and I think BD is rapidly finishing as well. 13-11-2024 Day 89. PH ~6, EC 1100, 4L with great run-off. FinalPart day 17. Removed a few leaves from BD. Removed plant stands, adjusted fan, light height to 30cm/100%, centered plant under light and added netting to better support some of her branches. Trichome pictures cloudy with clear, will work on more pictures now that SD is drying. She just took over the tent... 14-11-2024 Day 90. PH ~6, 1180, 4L with great run-off. FinalPart day 18. Removed ~15 leaves. She does have some foxtailing, likely from the extra Nitrogen, she will do her thing. Flowers are heavy, frosty, sticky and dense. Trichome pictures are mostly from mutiple second level canopy flower sites and one from the side of one of the five large colas. Mostly cloudy, some clear with two amber visibile in picture #2. Would like to see more amber before beginning her flushing/cleaning x 4 days. 15-11-2024 Day 91. PH ~6, EC 1180, 3L with great run-off. FinalPart Day 19. Removed ~10 leaves and adjusted a few LST supports for her colas. Week 13 draws to a close and finds SD harvested and drying day 2 (15-11-2024). Blue Dream pistils are around 60-80% orange as she pushed out new pistils. Flowers are dense and sticky and heavy as some colas are sagging. Leaves continue to fade. Plan for Week 14 1. Monitor trichomes 2. Defoliate lightly 3. Flush/Clean Blue Dream - harvest 4. Monitor drying of SD - trim and cure when ready

Week 14 from seed begins and finds Blue Dream continuing to fade. Last week SD was harested and BD was repositioned under the light, netting and supports were added for her sticky heavy flowers. Defoliation of yellowed leaves continues, around 15-20 daily. Temperatures have dropped outside and the room is also cooler. Pistils are mostly orange ~60-80%. Lots of good trichome pictures today from mutiple flower sites; seeing mostly cloudy and some clear. She is in the window for harvest, I would like some amber (less then 10%), but not sure I have the patience to wait. Her smells are a bit of pine & some citrus (?) perhaps. 16-11-2024 Day 92. FinalPart day 20. PH ~6, EC 1120, 3L with good run-off. Removed a leaves and adjusted a support. 17-11-2024 Day 93. FinalPart day 21. PH ~6, EC 1100, 3L with good run-off. Her volumes have slowed to 3L per day, perhaps a little less. Removed a few leaves. During defolation my fingers are just covered by sticky goo! She smells of pine and faintly of either citrus or berry. Very subtle smell, no sweet smell noted. Trichome pictures remain cloudy with some clear. 18-11-2024 Day 94. FinalPart day 22. PH ~6, EC 1110, 3L with good run-off. Trichome pictures today from mutiple second tier flower sites show cloudy with some clear and occasional amber. Getting closer, more leaves are fading, pistils are ~80%. 19-11-2024 Day 95. FinalPart day 22. PH ~6, EC 1050, 3L with great run-off, volume can likely be decreased. Pistils are around 80%+ orange, waiting for a bit more amber. Smells of pine with either citrus or berries are becomming more pronounced. Will grab some trichome pictures today/tonight. 20-11-2024 Day 96. FinalPart Day 23. PH ~6, EC 1100, 2.5L with good run-off. Trichome pictures last night mostly cloudy, some clear and the occasional amber. 21-11-2024 Day 97. FinalPart Day 24. PH ~6, EC 1130, 2.5L with good run-off, volume can likely be decreased. Trichome pictures mostly coudy, some clear and occasional amber (pic2). 22-11-2024 Day 98 FinalPart Day 25. PH ~6, EC 1120, 2L with good run-off. Trichomes mostly cloudy with some clear and occasional amber. Week 14 is at end and find Blue Dream's leaves continuing to fade, most of her pistils are orange/brown and trichomes turning to mostly cloudy. She smells great and her flowers are increasingly looking more dense. Thinking she is close to finishing.... Plan for Week 15 1. Check trichomes daily (looking for ~10% amber) 2. Defoliate dried leaves 3. Flush/clean with FlashClean x2 days followed by H2O x2 days with run-off ec less than 200 - when ready 4. Trim and begin curing SD.

Followed cocoforcannibas for flushing/cleaning coco this week. Harvesting took around 1 hour as there was not a lot of fan leaves to remove. Dried for 10 days ~60% with 21.5C.

Week 15 begins with Sour Diesel trimmed and bagged up after a 10 day dry. Blue Dream continues to ripen, her leaves are fading, pistils are mostly brown/orange with some new white pistils pushing out, trichomes are mostly cloudy, with a few clear and the occasional amber. Plan for the week 1. Check trichomes daily (looking for ~10% amber) 2. Defoliate dried leaves 3. Flush/clean with FlashClean x2 days followed by H2O x2 days with run-off ec less than 200 - when ready 4. Trim and begin curing SD. 23-11-2024 Day 99, FinalPart Day 26. PH ~6, EC 1130. 2.5L with good run-off. Leaves are fading fast. Trichome pictures tomorrow. 24-11-2024 Day 100. FinalPart Day 27. PH ~6, EC 1120. 3L with good run-off. Trichomes remain mostly cloudy, with a few clear and the occasional amber. 25-11-2024 Day 101. FinalPart Day 28. PH ~6, EC 1100. 3L with good run-off. Trichomes appear to be the same, these photos are more of the "top". Removed several leaves. 26-11-2024 Day 102. FinalPart Day 29. PH ~6, EC 1100. 3L with great run-off. 27-11-2024 Day 103. FlashClean 3ml/L - 6l, with great run-off. Seems like this is a good time to begin flushing/cleaning x 4 days. Trichomes are remain the same when viewing the second level of the canopy. The top flowers do have more amber and more leaves are getting brittle and dried. I could go longer, but already feel like I waiting too long. 28-11-2024 Day 104. FlashClean 3ml/L x 6L with great run-off. Tomorrow and Saturday will be just H2O. Smells great - pine with hints of citrus. 29-11-2024 Day 105. 10L H20 flushed with run-off EC ~220. Wow, the end of week 15 finds Blue Dream flushing and getting ready for drying. Her smells are pleasant, she is simply massive and covered in heavy flowers that require support. LST really helped to open her up. Barring any issues she is likely going to be my biggest harvest, her tent mate just broke my personal best and I am sure she have a greater yield. Plan for Week 16 1. Flush for EC less than 200 x 1 day - Saturday 2. Chop and hang branches - Sunday 3. Removal of dried leaves - Sunday

Week 16, Day 106 from seed finds Blue Dream ready to chop. Last day of just plain water with EC less than 200. Most of her leaves have faded to yellow or have dried out. Her smells are of pine with citrus, very nice. She is a massive plant and takes up well over half the tent. She grew to around 76cm, will verify height tomorrow. Plan for the week 1. Final water flush/cleaning to EC less than 200 (per cocoforcannibas website) 2. Chop and hang individual branches 3. Dry for 7-10 days at 60% and 16-21C 30-11-2024 Day 106. H20 @ 13L, run-off EC 180. Getting ready to chop and hang tomorrow. 1-12-2024 Day 107. Chopped and drying branches.

Followed cocoforcannibas for flushing/cleaning coco this week. Harvesting took around 1 hour as there was not a lot of fan leaves to remove. Dried over 8-12 days ~60-55% with ~18C. Started trimming on day 8 the smaller branches and then just continued to trim over the course of several days.
