Introduction - Week 04 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 9781.61,
This was the first week of flower and wow what a week! Overall growth has been surprisingly green and healthy!
Took the #4 cutting and planted her into a Coco Coin and is now rooting in the propagation dome. Waiting for roots now and plan to transplant into a solo cup soon.
Keep on growing my girls! Onwards to next week!

- [+00:44]: Late night check on the 4x4 flower tent.
--- Wow! Growth is just exploding! Nice!
--- #3 is still struggling, but wow the rest are healthy and are looking green and perky!
--- Bud sites are starting to swell up and can see pistil hairs everywhere!
--- Starting off the grow looking incredibly healthy!
--- Don’t frack this up Ensign.
--- Anyways,
- [+00:47]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data:
------ 23% - [CH01 FP5 - Garlic Budder #1]
------ 27% - [CH02 FP5 - Original Garlic Budder #2]
------ 40% - [CH03 GR7 - Garlic Budder #3]
------ 25% - [CH04 FP5 - Garlic Budder #4]
------ 37% - [CH05 GR7 - Original Garlic Budder #2]
------ 33% - [CH06 GR7 - Original Garlic Budder #1]
------ 25% - [CH07 GR7 - Garlic Budder #2]
------ 38% - [CH08 GR5 - Original Garlic Budder #1]
- [+00:55]: Filled a pump sprayer with 4 cups of distilled water.
------ Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60]
--- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto #1’s straw mulch.
- [+01:19]: Repeated this process again for the original #2 and #4 pheno.
--- Focused mainly on the straw.
- [+01:21]: Checked on the vegging 3x3 tent,
--- Wow top growth is getting too tall and have growth touching the grow light.
--- Time to top!
- [+01:25]: Using a clean pair of trimmers,
--- Gently removed some of the top growth from all of the plants in the veg tent.
--- Lowered the canopy a good 7-8 inches.
--- Also defoliated and removed some of the fan leaves.
- [+01:39]: Filled a pump sprayer with 3 cups of distilled water.
------ Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60]
--- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto #2’s straw mulch.
--- Also slightly misted the other 3 plants in the veg tent.
- [+01:47]: Time to swap the aloe water out!
--- Emptied and refilled the solo cup with fresh distilled water.
--- Plan to start using the propagation dome soon!
--- Going to let this soak for another day before transplanting into a Coco Coin for rooting.
- [+01:54]: Checked the humidifiers.
--- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water as needed.
--- So today begins the first week of flower!
--- This is technically week 3 under the 12/12 lighting. But I start counting flower weeks after bud sites visually begin to form (which was last week).
--- The first week under the 12/12 usually is basically another veg week with fast upward growth. Then during the second week (last week) is when I usually start to see buds. So this week 1 of flower for this log.
--- Kinda as if these plants were grown outdoors. Nature does not flip to flower instantly.
--- Anyways,
--- Onwards with this grow!

--- Also sprayed the other 3 plants a bit.
--- Okay!
- [18:42]: 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.

- [19:16]: Time to plant the cutting!
--- Using a pair of clean trimmers, made a final 45° cut through the bottom node.
--- Also stripped away and scared some of the stem’s outer membrane before inserting the cutting.
--- Made sure a node 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.
--- Once the cutting was planted, placed her into the propagation dome.
- [19:26]: Misted the sides of the propagation dome with distilled water.
--- Poured the tiniest bit of distilled water into the bottom of the tray (~5ml).
--- Sprayed the lid of the propagation dome before covering the cutting.
--- Vents are fully closed.
--- As far as PPFD,
--- Based on past cloning attempts, at level 2, the bar lights are outputting a PPFD of around 155 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 10.04 mol/m²/d under an 18/6 light cycle.
--- Will check back daily to refresh the air under the dome.
- [19:44]: Night check on the 4x4 flower tent.
--- Ooo yea! Looking nice and perky ladies!

[END OF WEEK 04]
Let's go garlic fam Bro I respect u just for your week description. Time codes, dates, the amount of info. I wish I could do even the 1% of this in my diarys. 🏻💚
@smoking_hills9,
Thanks growmie! Second time growing these phenos and my first clone grow. Yea, I reference these logs as I grow so they have to be detailed. This is also why my logs are about 2 weeks delayed. Sort of a full-time hobby!
