Garlic Budder – HSC – Fabric Pots Scrog

Introduction - Week 01 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9724.24, Ahh yea! Ensign’s back with another grow attempt! This is my second perpetual grow cycle! So if all goes well, there should be less veg week entries. Continuing off from the last log, growing some ‘Garlic Budder’ from the ‘Humboldt Seeds Company!’ These are all clone cuts from the previous seed grow. Unlike the last 6-plant flower cycle, this will be a 4-plant grow (with 5 vegging for the next cycle). Also not using EarthBoxes and will only be using fabric pots. Anyways! The beginning of the week was tending to the 3x3 tent while also preparing for the 12/12 flip. Both built and installed the PVC scrog frame into the 4x4 tent. Also weaved my first scrog net! Still have the girls vegging under an 18/6 light schedule (Garlic Budder by Humboldt Seeds Co), but rotated them out of the 3x3 and placed them into the 4x4 tent. Top dressed each pot before wedging and bending them under the scrog. Actually quite impressed on how well the whole process went. To help with recovery (from the scrog) and to acclimate the plants to the new environment, plan to veg for a week before flipping to 12/12. Wow! Just started but will be flipping to flower soon. Perpetual is definitely the way to grow! Anyways, Let’s get this grow log started! Onwards to next week Ensign! Engage!

Okay! --- Time to start the big 4x4 tent reset! --- Going to first start with the EarthBoxes! Going to be retiring them for a bit so going to give them a descent cleaning. Let’s go! --- Fully disassembled and vacuumed out the dirt of each EarthBox before scrubbing each one in the bathtub. --- Then paper towel dried each component before stacking everything together. - [13:32]: Done! --- Took my time cleaning because storing these on top of the tent. --- Okay! - [13:33]: Time to both build and install my first scrog frame and netting. Let’s go! --- Got a set of 4 flag pole clamps (via Amazon) to attach the scrog frame to the tent. --- Got four 1” PVC fittings (local Home Depot) along with four 1” piping (10’ long each). Also got some self-tapping screws. For the netting, using mason string (ordered through Amazon). --- Since this is my first build, going to wing-it. --- What can possibly go wrong? --- Anyways, - [14:33]: First attached the clamps to the frame. --- For a proper fit, had to cut the rubber grommet in half. Using the extra piece as a cushion (placed on the sharp tips of each clamp). --- They feel like solid anchor points. Nice! to attach the scrog frame to. --- For general guidance, researched via YouTube for a bit prior to this so have a basic understanding on how to make one (shout out to The Northern Scrogger). --- Time to build the scrog frame! - [16:17]: Built the scrog frame using both the PVC fittings and piping. --- For frame dimensions, I cut two different lengths: ------ 42.5” x2 ------ 44” x2 --- This makes the frame slightly wider on one side. --- Made sure not use any glue and everything is dry fitted yet snug. Also smoothed the ends of each pipe with a bit of sand paper for a much easier fit. --- For the fittings, used corner fittings and have open slot facing upwards. This way I can always add a second net later. --- After the frame was built, marked and drilled screws about 3” apart. Made sure to mirror the screw spacing on the opposite side. Using self-tapping screws made this whole process a lot easier. --- Time to weave the netting! --- Using some mason string, --- Started at one corner and strung all the horizontal lines. Double-wrapped each screw as I went along. --- After the horizontal lines were done, continued on and wrapped the vertical lines. - [16:42]: Now that the frame is built and the netting fully weaved, --- Using velcro straps, --- Gently attached the frame to the flag-pole anchors. --- Started at one corner before attaching the opposite corner. - [17:18]: Done! --- Wow she’s a beauty! --- Was originally planning on hanging the frame just under the anchor clamps, but laying the frame on top of the anchors really helped with stability. --- With the frame fully installed, the netting is just under 40” above the floor. --- If each fabric pot is about 11” tall, that gives about 30” of plant height before hitting the scrog netting. --- Also the light is about 21” from the netting. --- Okay anyways, - [17:25]: Going back the tent’s floor, --- Decided to assemble 3 more plant coasters. --- These will eventually be placed into the 3x3 veg, but will keep them in the 4x4 for now. - [18:53]: Night check on the vegging 3x3 tent, --- Wow my girls are getting tall! --- No idea how I’m going to get these ladies under the scrog. --- May need to top again? I dunno. --- Growth has clearly gone wild and is bushing out upwards!

Let’s go! --- Cleared the tent’s floor out and removed all off of the fabric pots and coasters. - [17:02]: Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Main Tent [3x3] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the humidifier. ------ Temporarily set the MODE to OFF --- Prior to this I did sample each pheno and have ultimately decide to just cycle them out and try new genetics. --- Planning to flower out #1-4 while keeping the remaining 5 in veg for the next cycle. --- One at a time, plan to defoliate and top dress. Going to go pretty heavy on the defoliation and will lollipop each plant before placing each into the tent. Time to start! - [17:16]: Starting with the #1 pheno, --- Temporarily removed the loose straw mulch and placed it into a bucket for later. Also gently tilled the top inch of the top soil and loosened any big soil clumps. --- Removed and lollipopped the lower growth with both my fingers and a pair of trimmers. Also removed some of the larger fan leaves. --- Was going to top each plant, but decided to try to wedge and bend each plant under the scrog net. --- Using some BuildASoil Worm Castings along with some Kashi Blend, - [17:35]: Top dressed the #1 pheno, ------ Sprinkled 1/4cup of Kashi Blend ------ Sprinkled 1cup of BuildASoil Worm Castings ------ Sprinkled 1 solo cup (~2cups) of some fresh BuildASoil 3.0 Potting soil. --- Using my fingers, gently tilled the top dressing into the top soil. - [17:44]: Placed the loose straw much back onto the top soil. --- Gently placed #1 into the tent. --- Had to tilt the plant horizontally before gently tilting her upwards. Tried to go slowly and let the branches naturally bend under the scrog net. --- Once she was under the netting, went through and tried to adjust the branches. --- Going to have to go back and further train the branches more, but tried to fill in her corner of the netting the best I could. - [17:56]: One done! Three more to go! Maximum warp Ensign! Engage! --- Repeated this process for the remaining 3 phenos. - [18:01]: The original #2 pheno was next, --- Wow! This is surprisingly a lot easier than I thought it would be. --- The branches bend pretty easily and the scrogging process feels like low stress training. Sort of like bending and tying down, but without the tying down. --- Anyways, - [19:19]: The #3 pheno was next, --- This pheno has always been extremely squat. --- Had to lift this one up onto an upside down bucket. Surprisingly, this was the perfect height booster! --- Her top is just under the scrog netting. Nice! - [19:46]: Last but not least, the #4 pheno. --- She was by far the largest of the phenos. --- Also accidentally snapped and bent one of her main branches at the joint (damnit Ensign). --- Using some garden wire, gently mended straightened the branch back to where it was. Hopefully this will heal up. --- Did another training pass and tucked and adjusted as many branches as I could. - [20:22]: Done! --- Wow! This worked out a whole lot better than I expected! --- Did not even need to top any of the plants. --- Just put these plants into the 4x4 and already have a decently full net. --- Perpetual growing is the only way to grow! Absolutely incredible! --- Anyways, --- Time to adjust the environmental settings. - [20:34]: Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Main Tent [4x4] controller, --- Changed the ‘Drying [0/24] Schedule’ to ‘Flower [12/12]’ for the grow light and set the settings accordingly: --- For the Grow Light (Mars Hydro FC-6500): ------ The Mode is set to ‘On Mode’ ------ The START/END times are set to 04 :00PM/10:00AM ------ The Sunrise and Sunset Duration value is set to 20Min ------ The MAX value is set to 1 --- For the Exhaust Fan (AC Infinity CloudLine T6): ------ The Mode to ‘Continuous Auto’ ------ The Temperature HIGH trigger’s value is set to 89°F ------ The Humidity HIGH trigger’s value is set to 79% ------ The Minimum/Maximum value is set to 2/8 ------ The Temperature Dynamic Transition value is set to 2°F ------ The Humidity Dynamic Transition value is set to 2% --- For the Humidifier (AC Infinity CloudForge T7): ------ The Mode is set to ‘Continuous Target’ ------ The VPD target value is set to 1.0kPa ------ The Minimum/Maximum value is set to 0/8 ------ The VPD Dynamic Transition value is set to 0.2kPa --- For the Heater (AC Infinity ThermoForge T3): ------ The Mode is set to ‘Continuous Target’ ------ The Temperature target value is set to 75°F ------ The Minimum/Maximum value is set to 0/8 ------ The Temperature Dynamic Transition buffer value is set to 2°F --- Environmental systems are all set and are functioning within established parameters. --- Of course will adjust these settings as needed. - [20:47]: Back in the 3x3 veg tent, --- Cleaned the floor a bit before placing 4 of the fabric pots along with the 3 plant coasters. --- Plan to transplant and up-pot these plants soon. - [21:11]: Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Main Tent [3x3] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the humidifier. ------ Set the MODE back to ‘Continuous Target’ ------ The VPD target value is set to 1.0kPa ------ The Minimum/Maximum value is set to 0/8 ------ The VPD Dynamic Transition value is set to 0.2kPa --- Plan to save bucket of trimmings and straw mulch. Keeping it inside the 4x4 tent to dry. --- Also decided to scrap one of the fabric pots. Since 5 pots would not fit inside the 3x3 and the 4x4’s scrog net is already pretty full, decided to reduce the veg tent down to 4 pots. --- Unfortunately, this means one of the 5 plants will need to be culled and mulched. Since I’m also thinking abo --- Also reset the soil sensor data: ------ 00% - [CH01 FP5 - Garlic Budder #1] ------ 00% - [CH02 FP5 - Original Garlic Budder #2] ------ 00% - [CH03 GR7 - Garlic Budder #3] ------ 00% - [CH04 FP5 - Garlic Budder #4] ------ 00% - [CH05 GR7 - Original Garlic Budder #2] ------ 00% - [CH06 GR7 - Original Garlic Budder #1] ------ 00% - [CH07 GR7 - Garlic Budder #2] ------ 00% - [CH08 GR5 - Original Garlic Budder #1] --- Placed all 8 soil sensors into their designated fabric pots. --- Soil sensor averages are going to be a bit out-of-whack this week, but this is just the first week. Next week should be a bit more accurate. - [23:13]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water as needed. --- Wow what a day! --- Already liking this scrog growing style and will definitely be re-using this frame for future grows.

This will probably be the last solo cup watering for a while. - [23:22]: Took the total weight of the original #2 pheno. --- She weighed 210.1g --- It’s been 9 days since her last watering. --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted her straw mulch with distilled water. --- Tried to keep the top growth dry. --- Misted 5-10 sprays. Waited a few seconds, then misted again. - [23:52]: Repeated this process until the cup weighed 360.3g --- There was no runoff. --- Marked the watering date on the side of the cup. --- At the same time, was repeating this process for both original #1 phenos. --- Tried to keep the saturated weight around 360g --- Placed all 3 back into the tent. - [23:56]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water as needed. --- Wow these girls are growing fast! --- At this rate, may be flipping to flower next week!

Introduction - Week 02 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9743.36, Wow what a week! Was planning on waiting a week before flipping to flower, but decide to flip this week! So this was the first week under 12/12 which also begins the two-week stretch phase. Up-potted the vegging plants in the 3x3 tent. Also ended up culling one so now there are 4 vegging in the 3x3 for the next cycle. Planning on cloning and swapping out each one in a few weeks. Also added worms to each fabric pot. Thankfully the local weather has been getting cooler! Hoping for a cooler flower cycle this time! Only two weeks into this grow cycle and already in flower. Wow! Growing at warp speed! Onwards to next week!

Engage! [END OF WEEK 02]

Introduction - Week 03 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9762.49, Wow what a week of growth! This is the second week under the 12/12 light cycle and basically the end of the stretch phase. Stopped tucking and have been completely surprised on how fast growth has been. By the end of the week, tops are just everywhere! Fed organic bloom nutrients but have mainly been feeding water only. Was running the light at the lowest level, but increased the intensity a bit (now at level 2 out of 10). Bud growth is also starting to develop nicely and can already see pistil hairs starting to shoot out! For the 3x3 veg tent, been watering as needed and am trying to slow growth down. Had to super-crop one of them to keep height under control. Plan to take cuttings soon. Oh! Back in the 4x4 main tent. Decided to take a cutting from #4. Her growth has been healthy and vigorous for the second cycle so trying to preserve the genetics. So as far as keepers, she is one of my firsts! Anyways, Onwards Ensign! Engage!

[END OF WEEK 04]

Introduction - Week 05 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9800.74, Another great grow week! Growth has overall been going surprisingly well! Although did have a slight sensor issues early in the week. The #4 clone has been doing well and is now fully rooted and transplanted into a solo cup. Also lung room temps are getting colder and have been starting to supplement extra heating in both tents (mainly the veg tent). Steady as she grows Ensign. Engage!

Introduction - Week 06 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9819.86, Wow what flower week! Overall, growth was pretty steady and looking great! Stating to notice some deficiency with the original #2 pheno. Also the #3 pheno is not going to make it to harvest. Both #1 and #4 are looking healthy! Bud growth is continuing to impress and #4 is dominating the tent! I can’t keep up with watering! Top dressed 3 of the plants and also raised the grow light up a bit. Even tried to increase the intensity, but dropped that back down due to high temps. Even with the setbacks, this is still turning out to be my best grow cycle yet! As for the veg tent, the #4 clone is looking green and healthy! Also installed new passive intake vents. Topped the girls early in the week. Plan to take clone cuttings to cycle out each mother plant soon. Anyways, onwards to next week!

Introduction - Week 07 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9838.99, Another great grow week! Been tending to the flower tent and have been trying to keep up with watering! This grow cycle is the most I’ve ever had to water by far. In the veg tent, took the soaked clone cuttings and have already begun the rooting process in Coco Coins. Also topped the plants and have been watering as needed. Will hopefully be transplanting the rooted cuttings next week. Also upgraded my home’s drinking water and am gradually switching from store bought distilled water to reverse osmosis filtered water. This will eventually progress into watering automation. Perfect timing as well because these ladies are thirsty! Anyways, onwards to next week!

Introduction - Week 08 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9858.12, Pretty busy grow week! Lots got done, still lots more to do! In the flower tent, been trying to keep up with watering. Wow these ladies can drink! Also increased the light intensity a bit. As for the veg tent. Did a bit of super-cropping along with a topping, but these plants are continuing to rage with growth! Also planted the rooted Coco Coins from the propagation dome into solo cups. Will start cycling out the current mother plants next week. Also plan to add some automation to help with both humidifier refilling along with a drip ring top watering. Onwards Ensign to next week!

Introduction - Week 09 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9877.24, Wow! Pretty busy and epic grow week! A ton got accomplished! But still a lot more to do! Checked the trichomes and have decided to start the 18/6 harvest flip next week! Automation was also added to the grow this week and as usual, things did not go as planned. Everything is okay now, but had a few issues. As for the 3x3 veg tent, cycled out my first mother plant. Also topped the rest of the plants and have been lowering the watering. Next week plan to flip to an 18/6 harvest light cycle! Also plan to cycle out the rest of the mother plants. Also planning out the next grow cycle and will be popping new genetics! The hunt continues for the next keeper! One impossible task at a time. Onwards to next week! Engage!

Time to add more automation to this grow! --- Going to basically use a float valve to refill the tanks with reverse osmosis water. --- Using a pair of float valves along with RO tubing and fittings, - [13:55]: Constructed a basic fill line for each humidifier by splitting off the main source line and straight into the top of the humidifier. --- Added shut off valves for ease and installed units. - [14:13]: Custom cut each fill line so each float valve is dangling just under the top of the humidifier’s lid. --- Thankfully the float valve is smaller than the humidifier’s top fill-hole. --- Although had to remove the lid and had it offset a bit to cover the hole. Also using some aluminum tape for bit of stability. - [14:21]: The float valves are design to stop the flow when the water reaches the bottom of the unit. Since the water source is straight from an RO filtration system, this will ensure the tanks remain full at all times. --- Finally, --- NO MORE HUMIDIFIER REFILLING! --- If this goes well, might drill out a hole in the top and install these as a more permanent refilling system, but this will do great for now. --- From now on, just need to check for leaks and clogs. --- As far as the main difference in water quality, distilled water is still the best (at less than 10 PPMs). But reverse osmosis water is not bad (at less than 25 PPMs) and should be okay for humidifiers. Considering that my unfiltered tap water source is way too hard (at over 400 PPMs) for humidifier usage. - [19:15]: Night check on the 4x4 flower tent. --- Wow bud growth is absolutely beautiful! --- Ooo yea! The garden is the fullest it’s ever been! --- Getting a bit worried on how I’m going to harvest and dry this cycle.

Lots to do! Let’s go! --- Will also be culling an original #1 pheno. Since there is one in a 5-gallon and a 7-gallon, going to be culling the 5-gallon one. --- Ultimately the rest of the plants will be culled soon and swapped out with the clones rooting in the solo cups. --- Anyways, - [21:11]: Placed both the 5-gallon pheno along with the 7-gallon fabric pot from #3 on the floor. --- Using a basic hacksaw, - [21:14]: Culled the original #1 pheno. --- Mulched the trimmings. --- Also removed the soil sensor. --- Placed the 5-gallon pot onto the floor of the 4x4 tent (for temporary storage). Plan to use this soil for the next grow cycle. - [21:33]: Removed the straw mulch cover from the 7-gallon pot. --- Also removed the soil sensor and broke up and loosened up the top soil. --- Going to mix in some dry amendments. - [21:43]: Sprinkled each onto the center area of the pot, ------ 1/2 cup of Craft Blend [Nutrient Pack] ------ 1/2 cup of Gnarly Barley (Freshly Milled) ------ 1 cup of Premium Insect Frass [Black Soldier Fly] ------ 1 cup of BuildASoil Worm Castings --- Using my fingers, gently mixed the amendments into the top soil. - [21:48]: Placed a solo cup into the center of the pot. --- Flattened and gently pressed around the sides of the top soil. --- Gently removed the solo cup from the fabric pot leaving a perfect hole. ------ Sprinkled 1/4tsp of Great White, --- Dusted the sides of the hole. --- Also sprinkled a bit around the top soil. --- Great! Time to transplant! --- It’s been a day since her last watering so hopefully the soil is not too dry. - [21:53]: Gently flipped #1 upside-down which easily dropped straight out of her cup. --- Roots looked nice and healthy! --- Not the most roots I’ve ever seen, but the soil was still solid and held together nicely. --- Did not break the root ball up or anything. --- Gently placed her into the pre-inoculated hole. - [21:56]: Pressed and evened out the top soil. --- Also spread the straw mulch from the solo cup onto the top soil. --- To make a bit more room, defoliated a couple lower leaves. - [21:57]: Placed the straw mulch back onto the top soil, --- Covered the soil as evenly as I could. --- Also made sure to add - [22:07]: Added the original #1’s Ecowitt soil meter. --- Firmly pressed the meter as deep as it would go. --- Will update the soil sensor and change it to #4 later. - [22:12]: Placed #4 into the 3x3 veg tent. --- Going to give 4 cups of wetting solution for the initial transplant watering. --- Also going to be adding in some BTI. - [22:32]: Filled a pitcher with 4 cups of RO water. --- Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --- Added 1/8tsp of Horticultural Aloe --- Added 1/4tsp of Horticultural Coconut --- Added 1/4tsp of Mycrobe Complete --- Added 1/4tsp of WDG3000 Extra Strength BTI (Bacillus Thuringiensis, subspecies Israelensis) --- Mixed the solution and poured the solution straight into a pump sprayer. - [22:44]: Misted #4’s straw mulch with the wetting solution. --- Took my time and tried to go as evenly as possible. - [22:57]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Wow what a day! --- Plan to add more automation soon. Going to try to add auto watering to #4 --- What can possibly go wrong!? --- Anyways, Lot’s more to do! --- Onwards Ensign! Engage!

Time to try my luck with auto watering. --- Since I have decided to stray away from sub-irrigated watering (sorry EarthBox), my grows have been better than ever! --- Now I’m fully committed to top watering straight living soil and am planning on eventually working my way up to a bed. --- With this in mind, top watering a larger volume of soil is going to be a whole lot easier with automation. --- Over the past month or so, been working on trying to add an auto top watering system and have decide to use drip rings. --- Since I already have the soil sensors, - [22:27]: Decided to try the Ecowitt WittFlow WFC01 smart water timer! --- Will also be upgrading the Ecowitt GW1100 Wi-Fi hub to the WittBoy GW2000. --- The 10in drip ring, Ecowitt hub, and smart timer units were ordered from BuildASoil. --- Thankfully, this system can be adapted to reverse osmosis tubing! --- For my particular setup, needed a few extra fittings and tubing. --- Pretty much got everything from Amazon: ------ Female 1/2in thread to 1/4in RO adapter ------ Male 1/2in thread to 1/4in RO adapter ------ Blumat 3mm rubber tubing ------ Super-Flex 8mm rubber tubing ------ 1/4in to 1/8in brass barb reducer --- Using a few valve fittings along with pieces of 1/4in RO tubing, - [23:41]: Connected the WittFlow to the RO source. --- The rubber tubing convienintly connects straight to RO tubing. The fitting is quite snug so did not use any glue or clamps. --- Routed the rubber tubing through a vent hole and straight into the tent. --- The tubing was then connected to another set of RO fittings then to a brass reducer before finally connected to the drip ring. --- Currently have the valves off. These valves give the ability to shut off the water flow for general ease and maintenance. --- After everything was connected, also setup the WittBoy GW2000 Wi-Fi hub and connected the hub to my network (the unit is outside the tent but in the lung room). --- Alright! --- Time to test the system for leaks! Let’s go! - [+00:20]: Within the Ecowitt App, --- Connected the WittFlow to the WittBoy and made sure the sensor IDs were correct. ------ Added a basic trigger to start the watering when the soil moisture (from the #4 soil sensor) drops below 33% --- ------ [A few hours later..] --- --- Had to make a not so minor and completely unexpected adjustment to the watering system. --- As usual, something went wrong. --- As soon as the pressurized water flow was turned on, the system began leaking from everywhere. --- Water sprayed out from each of the rubber connections! --- So added a few zip-ties, but the sprays turned into drips. --- Also, while under pressure, the rubber tubing started to expand. --- Something seemed wrong.. --- Shut the system off at the source and began referencing BuildASoil YouTube videos.. --- With a bit of do-it-yourself MacGuyver-ing and a few bowls later, - [+02:30]: Added a gravity feed reservoir to the auto watering system. --- Apparently water pressure was the issue. --- My reverse-osmosis water source was entering the WittFlow at around 25psi. This was way too high for this particular system. --- Now the pressurized RO source feeds straight into a 5-gallon tank via a float valve (thankfully I had a spare). --- Took a 5-gallon distilled water tank and placed it sideways. --- Then modified one of the outlets to fit a piece of 1/4in RO tubing (a hand drill, Teflon tape, and a bit of hot-glue). Also had to cut a hole for the float valve (modified an extra cap to fit the spare valve). --- Since this water in now unpressurized and under gravity, the water pressure is now around 5-8psi. --- To maintain this pressure, in terms of elevation, the tank is positioned above #4’s soil level inside the tent. --- From the this tank, the water flows into the WittFlow smart switch. --- To maintain the gravity fed pressure, moved the WittFlow to the floor. - [+03:14]: Had to also add a second trigger condition. --- Within the Ecowitt App, ------ Added a second trigger to turn the water flow off once the #4 soil sensor reaches above 38% --- Now there are finally no leaks and the system seems to be working nicely! --- Since the system is under a lower psi, the zip-ties are probably unnecessary, but left them on anyways. --- Going to continue to check for leaks and will just hope for the best. --- Gave the veg tent a quick peak, but will do a full check tomorrow.

Basically the gravity reservoir tank started to leak and had to be replaced. During this process, accidentally flooded and broke the main tent’s humidifier. --- This also caused the exhaust fan to cut off. Apparently port 2 and 3 are not totally independent and seem affect each other. --- Anyways, --- Already have a replacement humidifier on its way. Thankfully during this stage of flower, humidity is not really needed. --- Regardless, really don’t want to swap out the exhaust fan, but may have to. Going to keep checking back for leaks but everything seems to be fine for now. --- What a week! --- Issues aside, this was a great grow week! Gotta keep on growing! --- Plan to cycle out the mother plants next week and need to start planning out how to harvest this grow. --- Also with the next grow cycle starting soon, planning on popping new genetics! --- Will also probably pop two seeds and take two clone cuttings from the mother tent to make the next cycle a hybrid seed and clone run. --- Still determining the genetics, but need to decide soon. Hyped to get back to seed popping again! The pheno hunt continues! --- Anyways, --- Onwards to next week! Engage! [END OF WEEK 09]

Introduction - Week 10 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9896.37, Wow what a grow week! Flipped the light cycle to 18/6 with a harvest day set for early next week! The replacement humidifier arrived and was promptly installed. Also dialed in the auto-watering setup and now everything is working smooth and haven’t needed to water the #4 pheno the entire week. Very nice! In the veg tent, culled and cycled out the mother plants with the solo cup clones. Also lowered the grow light. With bud growth continuing to ripening up, plan to chop and flip the entire flower tent soon. Getting a bit concerned on how to exactly do this, but one impossible task at a time! Anyways, Set a course for an epic harvest Ensign! Maximum warp! Engage!

Introduction - Week 11 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9915.49, HARVEST TIME! Wow what a week! Harvested the entire tent at the beginning of the week and have started the drying process. Mainly been tending to the veg tent and planning out the next grow cycle. Aside from quick daily checkups, not much else to do until trim day. As far the next grow, already am planning to start new genetics next week and take clone cuttings! Anyways, onwards to next week!

Have the 4x4 trellis netting positioned just under the grow light and it makes a decent net to hang from. - [15:41]: Done! --- The #4 pheno was attached to the trellis netting using garden ties. --- Once the plants are fully dried, will do a final dry trim before curing in glass mason jars. --- Due to weight concerns, both #1 and the original #2 phenos were attached straight to the light with garden wires. --- Unfortunately, --- Couldn’t really get a wet weigh this harvest. Not really a big deal, but would have been nice. Regardless, I can already say that this is both my shortest grow cycle along with my largest harvest yet! --- Absolutely stoked for the final processed dry weight! --- Anyways, --- As usual, going to leave the soil in the tent during the drying process. --- Will also leave the auto watering system on. --- These plants will hang stationary with oscillating fans blowing away from the plants. The bottom fan is on low (2 out of 10) and pointed towards the floor. The top fan is stuck on a higher setting (button does not seem to be working), so have it pointed upwards towards the ceiling (may need to get a new on soon). The top fan will provide most of the air circulation in the tent. - [15:55]: Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Main Tent [4x4] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Drying [0/24]' Schedule for the grow light. ------ Switched the Mode from ‘Continuous On’ to ‘Continuous Off’ --- Adjusted the 'Drying [0/24]' Schedule for the humidifier. ------ Increased the humidity HIGH/LOW values from OFF/58% to OFF/625 --- Done! --- Now for the 10-14 day slow dry. --- Let the drying begin! --- There is one main difference I decided to try for this dry cycle. --- Usually the exhaust fan is set to a constant low speed with a ramp up when the humidity gets too high. --- This time the exhaust fan is off until the humidity level are too high. - [16:16]: Checked on the vegging 3x3 tent, --- Growth is vegging along quite nicely! --- Have noticed that having smaller mother plants is easier to maintain and water.

Introduction - Week 12 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9934.62, As far as this grow cycle, not much to do in the 4x4 tent while drying this week. Basic daily checkups. Even with the down time, still had quite a busy grow week! Mainly been tending to the vegging mother plants in the 3x3 tent. Also took clone cuttings for the next grow cycle and planted them into Coco Coins and am now waiting for them to root. Oh! Already started popping new genetics for the next grow cycle! Two seeds were planted and by the end of the week had two sprouted seedlings! Also got more beans for the seed stash! Also got more BAS supplies and have started pre-prepping for the next grow cycle. Okay! Two more days before the big trim day! Maximum warp Ensign! Engage!

Will have to be careful. --- Anyways, --- Time to start the planting process! --- Let's go!! --- First, the wetting solution!!! - [13:27]: Filled a measuring cup with 2 cups of RO water. --- Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --- Added 1/32tsp of Horticultural Aloe --- Added 1/16tsp of Mycrobe Complete --- Mixed the solution and poured the solution straight into a spray bottle. --- Going to be planting into solo cups before transplanting into the fabric pots. --- Since the soil is pretty dry, will be pre-wetting before planting. - [13:43]: Filled a plastic container with 2 full solo cups of BuildASoil 3.0 Potting soil. --- Added 1/2 cup of the wetting solution. --- Mixed the soil and gave it a good squeeze. --- The soil clumped up nicely but no water leakage. Perfect! --- Time to fill the solo cups! --- Going to do a double planting! Let’s go! - [13:57]: Filled two solo cups with the pre-wet soil. --- Made a shallow indentation into the center of each cup. - [14:02]: Inoculated each solo cup with Beauveria Bassiana. ------ Sprinkled 1/32tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus Powder into the center of each indentation. - [14:08]: Time to plant the sprouted seeds! --- Since one of the seeds grew into her cotton pad, started with that pheno. --- Using my fingers and a pair of scissors, I very gently tore and removed the cotton pad from the seed’s tap root. Really hope I didn’t damage anything. --- The other seed didn’t grow into her pad and was easily removable. - [14:09]: Using my fingers, gently placed each seed into their solo cup. Made sure each was placed onto an inoculated area with her tap root sideways. --- Sprinkled and covered the seed with a pinch of fresh BuildASoil 3.0 Potting soil. Just enough to fully cover the tap root and seed. --- Misted the top of each cup with 15 sprays of the wetting solution. - [14:23]: Covered the top soil of each cup with BuildASoil Organic Straw Mulch. --- Misted the top of each cup once more with the solution (10 sprays each). --- At this time, also made sure to mark each cup with the genetic name, pheno number, and date. - [14:32]: Covered each solo cup with a clear solo cup. --- Misted the inside of the cup with a bit of distilled water (~3 sprays each). --- Placed the solo cup onto the tent’s floor (on top of an upside-down plastic drip tray). - [14:35]: Done! --- Will check back daily for a sprout. --- A bit nervous on the #1, but am hoping for the best. --- Grow well little ones! - [15:37]: Oh what! --- Ordered some new seeds for the seed collection and they arrived a lot quicker than expected! --- Got some ‘Chill Out OG’ from ‘Mr. Grow It!’ --- This is a ‘Brisker OG’ (Square One Genetics) crossed to a ‘Pakistan Valley’ (World Of Seeds) pheno. These genetics are the 3rd filial generation (F3) and are regular photo period seeds. Got a total of 10 beans. --- Oh what! --- Got 3 free ‘Chill Out OG’ F4 tester seeds! Was not expecting this! Going to be popping these next year for sure! --- Also got some free sticker slaps! Nice! --- As a self-taught solo-grower, all of my grow knowledge is from the internet through blogs, videos, and podcasts. Mr. Grow It’s garden talk videos provide essential gardening techniques and tips which make learning to grow a whole lot easier. Shout out to Chris and for all of his ‘Mr. Grow It’ podcasts along with the ‘From The Stash’ team! - [17:26]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mother plants are vegging along and looking good! Going to take cuttings today and both the original #1 and #2 phenos look perky and green! --- #4 is still funky.

Everything was on sale so couldn’t resist! - [21:53]: Night check on the 4x4 drying tent. --- Looking beautiful! --- Buds are still drying and looking perfect with frost! --- No signs of mold. --- Wow! Gave buds few a squeeze and these nugs are going to be sticky! --- Also the terps are quite earthy and fuel-like! Totally stoked! --- Four more days until the big trim day! --- Okay! Since the new supplies have arrived earlier than expected, decided to start pre-prepping the 4x4 tent a bit for the next grow. - [21:59]: Placed an old ACI 5-gallon fabric pot into an empty 20-gallon Grassroots fabric pot. --- Emptied the contents of the 5-gallon pot into the 20-gallon. --- Was quite impressed on the amount of roots and was surprised to find worms still alive and looking great! --- Soil was moist in the middle but dry on the top and sides. - [22:32]: Emptied another 5-gallon pot into the 20-gallon. --- Nice! Both pots still had worms! --- Going to top the pot off with more potting soil. - [22:59]: Filled the 20-gallon fabric pot with more soil. --- This was a mix of used soil from previous grows along with unused but old 3.0 potting soil. - [23:15]: Placed the 20-gallon Grassroots fabric pot into the 4x4 tent. --- Just have it on the floor in the front for now, but will adjust everything later after the trimming is complete. - [23:34]: Checked on the 3x3 veg tent, --- Looking good my girls! --- Mothers are vegging along and looking happy! --- Even the #4 pheno is looking better! Still droopy, but better than before. --- Clones are also looking nice and perky! Tops are all point straight up towards the light! - [23:37]: Ooo yea! The first Gorilla Goat seed has sprouted! --- The #2 pheno has fully sprouted and can clearly see her cotyledon leaves looking green and perky! Removed her clear solo cup dome. --- Still no sign of the #1 pheno. May have damaged her roots too badly from the transplant (Damnit Ensign). Still early so hoping for the best. - [23:38]: Time to swap the aloe water out for the clones! --- Swapped the solo cup with a new one filled with fresh RO water. --- Going to let this soak for another day before transplanting into a Coco Coin for rooting. - [23:53]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 06 - Saturday - 12/07/24 - Total Days: 083 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 74.1 °F [23.4°C] - Humidity: 64.9% - VPD: 1.01 kPa - Soil %: [00, 00, 33, 41, 42, 42, 44, 00] ----------------------------------- - [20:37]: Night check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mother tent is looking great! --- Veg growth is looking perky! --- The #4 pheno is showing some signs of re-vegging, but also looking better than before. --- Clones look great!

Will continue to adjust the names as needed. - [20:48]: Okay! Time to begin the rooting process! --- Configured the controller on the AC Infinity Propagation dome. --- Made sure that the settings were set to: ------ START/END times - 04:00PM/10:00AM ------ Light intensity - 2 (out of 10). --- Also made sure the propagation light controller’s time was in sync with the Controller 69 Pro. - [20:58]: Filled a measuring cup with 1 cup of RO water. ------ Added a pinch of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] ------ Added 1/64tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1/32tsp of Mycrobe Complete --- Mixed the solution thoroughly. - [21:08]: Dropped two Coco Coins into the measuring cup. --- The coin immediately started to expand. --- [~10 minutes later] --- Took each Coco Coin and slightly shook moisture out so it wasn’t dripping, yet still pretty saturated. --- Temporarily placed each Coco Coin into half-cut solo cups. - [21:21]: Using a squeeze bottle filled with Clonex, --- Gently filled each pre-made hole with Clonex rooting gel. - [21:26]: Time to plant the cutting! --- Starting with the original #1 pheno, --- Using a pair of clean trimmers, made a final 45° cut through the main stem. --- Also stripped away and scared some of the stem’s outer membrane before inserting the cutting. --- Made sure the stem was at least a good 1" below the surface of the coco. --- To help with planting, while inserting the cutting, gave the Coco Coin a gentle squeeze to loosen the coco. This also helped to ensure the coco and gel was in good contact with the cutting. --- Repeated this process for the original #2 pheno. --- Made sure the name tags were placed next to the correct clone. --- Misted the sides of the propagation dome with distilled water. --- Also poured 1/4 cup of RO water into the drip tray. --- Sprayed the top of the propagation dome before covering the cuttings. --- Vents are fully closed. - [21:45]: Done! --- As far as PPFD, --- Based on past cloning attempts, at level 2, the PPFD is around 130 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 8.42 mol/m²/d --- Will check back daily to cycle the air under the dome. --- This time, may have cut the clones a bit too short. --- Hopefully they root. Should be fine. I think. - [21:53]: Took the wetting solution from earlier and poured it into a pitcher. ------ Filled the pitcher with RO until it was 8 cups full. ------ Added 1/32tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --- Mixed the solution and poured 2 cups straight into a pump sprayer. --- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto the original #1’s straw mulch. - [22:25]: Repeated this process again for the rest of the phenos in the tent. --- Focused mainly on the straw. - [22:26]: Using a bottle of distilled water, --- Sprayed the top of the Gorilla Goat #2 pheno (1 spray). - [22:34]: Checked on the 4x4 drying tent, --- Ooo yea!

[END OF WEEK 12]

Introduction - Week 13 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9953.74, Wow. Never quite understood the term ‘trim jail’ until this week. Pretty much what I thought would take a single day took an entire week to accomplish. Took a total of 6 days to fully trim this harvest.
