24.4 Grow

Good vigorous growth all week. Watering period of about 4 days seems to be preferable to plants. Maintained high VPD (60-80%)and saw satisfactory response from the plants in growth and appearance, will continue to maintain proper humidity. Top feed in about a week, 1 cup worm casting, Half all purpose and half bloom. Fed recharge water this week. All water includes powdered Dolomite Lime for calcium, pH stabilizer, and magnesium. This week they have received a gallon between all 6 plants, so 1/6th of a gallon every 3-4 days.

Prioritizing environment: Stayed focused on keeping humidity consistent and high this week (60-80%) - I ordered a new spider farm 6L humidifier to hook up to their GGS controller kit. Would like to keep closer eye on metrics and use remote functions to maintain stable environment. - More research on advantages of optimal VPD on the biological processes (transpiration, metabolism, stress management) - I would like to track VPD & optimize plant’s metabolism by maintaining ideal conditions for each stage of life. Top feed right in time: Top fed (2.5 tbsp BLOOM, 2.5 tbsp ALL PURP, 1 Cup worm castings, each 5g pot) mixed into top soil. -Watered with RECHARGE water (+4 tbsp blackstrap molasses), -Plants were due for top feed. Right at 4-week top feed deadline & were starting to take on a lighter shade of green towards the end of the week. -Plan to be more proactive for the next feed, maybe in 21-24 days instead of every 28/30 days. WPM issue resolved: -Suspected white powdery mildew was actually revealed to be eroding paint from the grills of my WHITE 6” oscillating fans. -Early in the week I cleaned them off, which wasn’t enough to solve the issue, so this week I just removed the grills and cleans the fan blades. Just don’t want that stuff on my plants and risk it getting in my flower. CHOP & DROP large fan leaves to encourage growth and clear light obstruction. Lollipopping this coming week will create good mulch. LST: Smaller plants for more exposure and growth stimulation to spread out.

12/3 watered them .5 gallons (1tbsp/g NEPTUNES HARVEST + 4tbsp/4g Black strap molasses) - Topped Cr MC2 -Lollipop branches of most plants -Added elbow clips and wire to LST 12/6 watered .5 gallons (1tsp/g STASH blend) They have been vigorous and healthy all week. Looks like they’re absorbing what I am feeding them and I caught them before they got hungrier so no major changes in the plant health this week. Ready to flip these girls into flower and see what they do.

12/11 - REG WATER 60% gal each to BH 1&2, GBoF2 (6.9pH, 68F) - Defoliated/Light lollipop of BH1&2, GBoF2, and Crescendo MC2 - Installed new Spider Farmer humidifier - RH 45%, 75F in tent 12/12 - REG WATER 60% gal each (6.6pH, 68F) to CrMC1&2 (may be showing signs of overwatering, should reduce watering back to .5 gal every 2-3 days - Temps plummeted within the last few days here in MN *** - Tent internal temps dropped to 75-78F during the day with RH @ 45-50% - Ramping humidity to 50% and hold there with new humidifier - Transplanted GSC auto into 1 gal pot 12/13 - REG WATER 60% gal each (6.9pH, 66F) BH 1&2 12/15 - STASH 1tsp/gal, Black strap 1tbsp/gal (into 4 gal) 6.7pH 66F watered: ALL - BH1&2, GBoF2, CrMC1 (big plants) 70% 1 gal each - Lower canopy maintenance on all, light defol. - Chopped and mulched top soil - Found small seedling in soil = top soil healthy

12/16-12/24 12/18 - 1 tbsp/gal NEPTUNE'S into 4gal (6.5pH, 66F) water to all plants - BH1&2, GBoF2, CrMC1 (.7 gal/ea), GBoF1, CrMC2 (.5 gal/ea) - Recommend top dress in 3 days 12/20 - 1tbsp/gal Unsulf. Molasses per gal into 4 gals - Water .6 gal to CrMC2, GBoF2, BH1&2 - Top Dress w/ 2.5tbsp BLOOM, 2.5tbsp ALL PURP, 1 cup Worm castings - CrMC2 showing signs of slight overwatering, need longer between watering (water every 3rd day) 12/23 - Water all 6 plants, 1tsp/gal STASH blend into 4.5 gal (6.6pH, 66F) - Light defol. & mulch of bottom nodes

12/25 - Raised lights 6" To be 18" above tallest plants after stretch 12/26 - .5 tsp/gal of RECHARGE into 4 gal (pH: 7.0, 66F) to all plants - CrMC2 had to be cut down and disposed of after discovering over two dozen unopened pollen balls forming throughout the plant's structure. Too many to risk. Will be recycling the soil. Believe this to be genetic as none of the other plants are displaying male sex/herm. And I do not think it was due to stress. - Turned Lights at 100% - Watered small GSC with RECHARGE water 12/29 - 4 tbsp NEPTUNES into 4.5 gal, 2 tbsp of Uns. BSM - water pH to 6.7 at 68F, .6-.75gal per plant 12/30 - Plants expressing themselves more this week with terps - Sweet, fruity, berry, gas - GCS closer to light by about 6" now to be 14.5" from light 12/31 - 2 oz Langbeinite water to 4 gal of water @ 6.6pH 67F - Water all plants 50-70%gal - Defol.
