Ensign420 Introduction - Week 00 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17451.1,
Caw-Caw! Ensign420 back with another grow attempt!
Just ended the previous grow cycle (log 12), but already growing onto the next! This grow season (log 13) will hopefully be an epic run!
For this grow log, going back to my roots and starting from seed! Ultimately, if all goes well, this will be a seed-to-harvest for two cultivars.
As for genetics, germinating a feminized seed of ‘Heady OG BX1’ (Mendo Dope Farms) along with a regular seed of ‘TKO’ (James Loud Genetics) and hyped to give these a try! This will also be my first time growing a regular seed with plans to DNA sex test in early veg. Hoping for a female, but have plans if it’s a male. What can possibly go wrong?
Well to my surprise, Heady OG BX1 sprouted first and was planted into a solo cup after a day of germination! TKO germinated a few days later and by the end of the week both seeds were planted in solo cups.
Very impressed with Heady OG BX1’s vigor! By the time TKO was planted in her solo cup, Heady OG BX1 was sprouting from the cup. Please be a female!
Also been tending to the veg tent which has been exploding with growth! Having a bit of a gnat issue, but working on reducing the population.
Anyways, first week done and already have both seeds germinated and planted into solo cups with one already sprouted!
Everything has a beginning. Straight and steady as she grows Ensign,
Onwards to next week! Engage!

- [10:20]: Caw-Caw! Time to finally start the new grow cycle!
--- Plan to flower and harvest two cultivars from seed!
--- This will be grow log 13 and seed attempt #70 and #71.
--- As for genetics, popping a bean of ‘Heady OG BX1 (Mendo Dope Farms)’ and ‘TKO (James Loud Genetics)’
--- Heady OG BX1 is a cross of a ‘Headies’ female to a ‘Heady OG’ male before being crossed back to the Heady OG male. I think (still learning about genetics and please correct me if I have anything wrong).
--- This cultivar is indica dominant and have 11 seeds in total (germinating one).
--- TKO is a feminized cross between a ‘Triangle Kush’ and ‘OG Kush’ female to a reversed ‘Gelato 41’ male.
--- This feminized cultivar is indica dominant and have 10 seeds in total (germinating one).
--- This will also be my first time trying to grow regular seeds. Hoping for a female, but have plans in-case of a male.
--- If I get a male Heady OG BX1, will cull and cut a clone of TKO (extended veg).
--- As with my recent grow logs, growing organically based on the BuildASoil way.
--- Going to be an interesting grow cycle as I’m just popping one seed of each pheno.
--- Anyways,
--- For germination, going with the tried and true 'Cotton Pad' method (shout out to Home Grow TV).
--- Okay let’s go!
--- In another room (my bathroom),
- [10:31]: Placed 6 fresh cotton pads on top of some clean plastic wrap.
--- Using a spray bottle, Misted the top of each pad with 2 sprays of straight distilled water.
--- Selected one random seed of ‘TKO’ (James Loud Genetics),
--- Along with one random seed of ‘Heady OG BX1’ (Mendo Dope Farms).
- [10:35]: Placed each seed onto a freshly wet pad.
--- Gently wiped each seed with their pad.
- [10:37]: Carefully placed each seed onto another fresh cotton pad. Discarded the used pads.
--- Then covered the top of each seed with the remaining wet cotton pads.
--- Misted the top of each stack of pads with 4 more sprays of distilled water.
- [10:40]: Placed each cotton pad stack into a fresh Ziploc bag (1quart bag).
--- Misted the inside of each bag with 2 sprays of distilled water.
--- Folded each bag in half.
--- Did not fully seal the bags (left a corner open).
--- Made sure to also label each bag.
- [10:47]: Placed each bag onto the heating mat.
--- Covered the bags with a black opaque plastic container.
--- Then covered the container with a towel and a foam cover.
--- Covered the foam with another towel.
- [10:53]: The heating mat's thermostat is set to a warm 85°F
--- The mat was already preheated to 83.4°F
--- Going to check on the cotton pads daily and plan to plant as soon as roots shoot out.
--- Will be sprouting in solo cups filled with BuildASoil 3.0 Potting soil before transplanting into their final fabric pots.
--- Once sprouted and vegged out in the solo cups for a bit, plan to take clones (tops) of each cultivar and plant TKO (feminized) into the 30-gallon and Heady OG BX1 (regular) into the 20-gallon.
--- As far as fertilizer feedings, continuing with ‘less-is-more’ and will begin veg feeding later rather than sooner.
- [23:42]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Looking great in the veg garden!
--- All mothers are growing along and looking green!
--- Need to top soon but not going to do anything tonight.

-----------------------------------
- [17:38]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Ooo yea! The veg garden has been better than ever!
--- Absolutely incredible when the plants can drink whenever the need it. Clearly I’ve been under-watering.
--- Need to top!
- [17:40]: Using a pair of trimmers,
--- Cut and removed a good 5-6 inches of top growth.
- [18:25]: Wow! Looks much better!
--- Mulched the trimmings.
--- Gnats are getting really gnarly, need to start spraying.
--- Going for a pretty high dosage.
- [18:36]: Filled a pitcher with 12 cups of RO water.
------ Added 1/16tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60]
------ Added 2tsp + 1/4tsp of WDG3000 Extra Strength BTI
--- Mixed the solution and poured 3 cups straight into a pump sprayer.
--- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto the original Garlic Budder #1 straw mulch.
- [18:40]: Repeated this process again for the rest of the phenos in the tent.
--- Focused mainly on the straw.
- [18:57]: Also adding in some yellow sticky traps.
--- Took 4 sticky traps and removed the protective sheets.
--- Place one in each of the pots.
--- Will probably swap these out on a weekly basis and will adjust my
- [19:22]: Checked on the TKO seed.
--- It’s been over 24hrs since the seeds were placed on the cotton pads.
--- Caw-Caw! Nice!
--- Heady OG BX1 has fully germinated and her tap root looks really healthy!
--- Unfortunately, TKO has no signs of germination but that’s okay.
--- Anyways, time to plant!
--- As usual, first, the wetting solution!
- [19:41]: 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 and poured the solution straight into a spray bottle.
--- Going to be planting into a solo cup before transplanting into fabric pots.
--- Since I’m still waiting on more soil, going to use some of the dry top soil from the 30-gallon pot (which is unused BuildASoil 3.0 potting soil anyways).
- [19:51]: Filled a plastic container with a full solo cup of BuildASoil 3.0 Potting soil from the 30-gallon pot.
--- Made certain there were no worms.
--- Added 1/2 cup of the wetting solution.
--- Mixed the soil and gave it a good squeeze.
--- Needed to add more dry soil until the mix clumped up nicely with no water leakage on the squeeze (soil was more moist than anticipated).
- [20:06]: Filled a solo cup with the pre-wet soil (has hole cut for drainage).
--- Packed the bottom firmly, then gently packed and tamped down until full.
--- Made a shallow indentation into the center of the cup.
--- Also made sure to mark the cup with name and date.
- [20:09]: Inoculated the solo cup with Beauveria Bassiana.
------ Sprinkled 1/32tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus Powder into the center of the indentation.
- [20:13]: Great! Time to plant the sprouted seed!
--- Using a clean dab tool, scooped the Heady OG BX1 seed off her pad and laid her gently into the solo cup.
--- Placed her on top of the inoculated area with the tap root sideways.
- [20:18]: Sprinkled and covered the seed with a pinch of BuildASoil 3.0 Potting soil. Just enough to fully cover the root and seed.
--- Time for some mulch!
- [20:24]: Covered the top soil with BuildASoil Organic Straw Mulch.
--- Misted the top of the straw with the wetting solution (~30 sprays).
- [20:32]: Covered the solo cup with a clear solo cup.
--- Misted the inside of the cup with a bit of distilled water (2 sprays) and secured it with painter’s tape.
- [20:35]: This time, placed the solo cup into the propagation dome (AC Infinity Germination Kit).
--- Without the seedling tray insert, the double-stacked solo cup fits perfectly under the dome (with height extension). Nice!
--- At the current light intensity (2 out of 10), the PPFD should be around 136 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 8.81 mol/m²/d under an 18/6 light cycle.
--- Misted the top of the propagation dome with a few sprays of distilled water.
--- All vents are closed.
--- Heady OG BX1 has been planted! Grow strong little one!
--- Well did not expect to plant just one seed, but nature is not always consistent.
--- Going to give TKO two more days to germinate before trying another seed.
--- My original plan was to plant TKO into the 30-gallon pot and Heady OG BX1 into the 20-gallon, but now may switch it up.

-----------------------------------
- [13:26]: Nice! Soil has arrived!
--- Time to finish filling the 30-gallon pot!
- [13:56]: Alright! 30-gallon pot full!
--- Sort of overshot the amount of soil I needed. Oops.
--- Only needed about 1/2 a bag of soil (saving the extra soil for seedlings and clones).
--- Temporarily removed the drip ring and Ecowitt top soil sensor.
--- Also re-positioned the Ecowitt deep soil sensor and moved it closer to the center of the pot.
--- Placed the extra bag of soil in the back right of the tent (under a piece of cardboard). Unless I get another tent flooding, the bag of soil should be fine. Won’t need this until the next grow cycle.
--- Anyways!
- [13:57]: Using some BuildASoil Organic Straw Mulch,
--- Covered the top of the 30-gallon Grassroots fabric pot.
--- Made sure to cover all visible soil.
- [14:34]: Done!
--- Also placed the Ecowitt top soil sensor and drip ring back onto the soil (have the top sensor placed just under the drip ring).
--- Okay! The tent is almost all set (still need to re-string the scrog frame).
--- Going to start dialing in the environment for veg.
- [14:39]: Within the AC Infinity App,
--- For the Main Tent [4x4] controller,
--- Changed the schedule from 'Drying [0/24]' to 'Vegetative [18/6]'
--- Also made sure to set each device accordingly,

------ The Temperature target value is set to 78°F
------ The MIN/MAX value is set to 0/8
------ The Temperature Dynamic Transition value is set to 2°F
--- Of course will adjust these settings as needed.
- [17:03]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Ooo yea vegging mothers are looking great!
--- Auto watering is the way to grow!
--- Aside from the damn gnats, all pots look good and no signs of flooding.
- [17:04]: Checked on the propagation dome,
--- Ooo yea! Heady OG BX1 continues to impress with hyper vigorous growth!
--- Been about 3 days from placing the seed on the cotton pad and she is already sprouting from the soil and about to open her cotyledons leaves. Incredible!
--- Really hope this one is a female (please).
--- Misted the top growth with about 3 sprays of distilled water.
--- Also removed the top clear solo cup, but still have all propagation dome vents fully closed.
--- Unlike clones, seedlings don’t really need extreme humidity to root.
--- Probably could open a few vents, but will wait until tomorrow.
--- Okay back to the gnat battle!
- [17:14]: Filled a measuring cup with 2 cups of RO water.
------ Added 1 ounce of Dr. Zymes' Eliminator
--- Mixed the solution and poured it straight into a pump sprayer.
--- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto the top of each pot.
--- Did not foliar spray.

- [17:34]: Checked on the TKO seed.
--- It’s been well over 3 days since the seed was placed on the cotton pad.
--- Aye nice!
- [17:36]: TKO finally germinated and her tap root looks short, but healthy! Was sort of getting a bit worried.
--- Okay! Time to plant!
--- First, the wetting solution!
- [17:57]: 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 and poured the solution straight into a spray bottle.
--- Similar to Heady OG BX1, going to be planting TKO into a solo cup before transplanting into a fabric pot.
--- Since I have extra fresh BuildASoil 3.0 potting soil, going to use it.
--- Okay let’s go!
- [18:03]: Filled a plastic container with a full solo cup of fresh BuildASoil 3.0 Potting soil.
--- Added 1/4 cup of the wetting solution.
--- Mixed the soil and gave it a good squeeze.
--- Made sure the soil clumped up with no water leakage on the squeeze.
- [18:12]: Filled a solo cup with the pre-wet soil (re-used cup which already has hole cut for drainage).
--- Packed the bottom firmly, then gently packed and tamped down until full.
--- Made a shallow indentation into the center of the cup.
--- Also made sure to mark the name and date.
- [18:13]: Inoculated the solo cup with Beauveria Bassiana.
------ Sprinkled 1/32tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus Powder into the center of the indentation.
- [18:18]: Great! Time to plant the sprouted seed!
--- Using a clean dab tool, gently scooped the TKO seed off the pad and laid her gently into the solo cup.
--- Placed her on top of the inoculated area with the tap root sideways.
--- Sprinkled and covered the seed with a pinch of BuildASoil 3.0 Potting soil. Just enough to fully cover the root and seed.
- [18:22]: Using some BuildASoil Organic Straw Mulch,
--- Made sure to completely cover the top soil.
--- Misted the top of the straw mulch with the wetting solution (~30 sprays).
- [18:32]: Covered the solo cup with a clear solo cup.
--- Misted the inside of the cup with a bit of distilled water (2 sprays) and secured it with painter’s tape.
- [18:34]: Placed the solo cup into the ACI propagation dome.
--- All vents are still fully closed.
--- Great!
--- TKO has finally been planted into the solo cup!
--- Since she’s obviously a slower growing pheno, will probably see a sprout within a few days.
--- At least this one feminized and is supposed to be a guaranteed female.
--- Anyways, will continue to check back daily.
- [19:09]: Checked the 4x4 tent.
--- Just a quick peek and everything is looking great!
- [19:11]: Checked on the auto-watering system.
--- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing.
- [19:33]: Checked the humidifiers.
--- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

--- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto the top of each pot.
--- Did not foliar spray.
--- Going to wait a few days before spraying again. Been spraying for a few days straight and don’t want to kill the worms.
--- Ultimately, might be easier to cut clones and cycle out the mother plants and do a heavy spraying while clones are still vegging in solo cups.
- [21:46]: Checked the 4x4 tent.

--- Looking great! All mothers are vegging beautifully!
--- Canopy is already getting taller and will need to top soon.
--- Checked on the propagation dome,
--- Nice! Heady OG has stopped stretching and her true leaves are starting to get larger. Looking green and healthy! Going to wait until her leaves reach the sides of the pot before attempting to sex test. Then depending on the result, will either transplant or cull. Please be a female!
--- Still no signs of TKO but this is okay. Based on initial tap root growth, she’ll probable be a few more days.

Ensign420 Introduction - Week 01 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17457.1,
Well, had an unexpected week of growing.
TKO did not sprout from her solo cup so started another round of germination.
As for Heady OG BX1, she was growing along great! I thought… To be honest, still perplexed on what exactly happened, but had to restart another seed as well.
On the flipside, the veg tent has been doing great! The gnat population and has been reduced significantly. Although this could have also been the reason for the seedling and germination issues.
Failure is always a possibility and a bit de-motivating. But gotta keep growing on,
Onwards to next week!

-----------------------------------
- [09:37]: Well TKO Round 1 was sort of a failure..
--- Time for Round 2!
--- Germinating another seed and this will overall be my #72 seed attempt.
--- As usual, for germination, going with the 'Cotton Pad' method.
--- Okay let’s go!
--- In another room (my bathroom),
- [09:43]: Placed 3 fresh cotton pads on top of some clean plastic wrap.
--- Using a spray bottle, misted the top of each pad with 3 sprays of straight distilled water.
--- Selected one random ‘TKO’ (James Loud Genetics | photo-fem) seed.
- [09:46]: Placed the seed onto a freshly wet pad.
--- Gently wiped and cleaned loose debris from the seed with the pad.
- [09:48]: Carefully placed the seed onto another fresh cotton pad. Discarded the used pad.
--- Then covered the top of the seed with the remaining wet cotton pad.
--- Misted the top of the stack of pads with 3 more sprays of distilled water.
- [09:49]: Placed the cotton pad stack into a fresh Ziploc bag (1quart bag).
--- Misted the inside of the bag with 2 sprays of distilled water.
--- Made sure the bag was also labeled.
--- Did not fully seal the bag (left a corner open).
--- Folded the bag in thirds.
- [09:52]: Placed the bag onto the heating mat.
--- Covered the bag with a black opaque plastic container.
--- Then covered the container with a towel and a foam cover.
--- Covered the foam with another towel.
- [09:55]: The heating mat's thermostat is set to a warm 85°F
--- The mat was already preheated to 86.1°F
--- Again, going to check on the cotton pad daily and plan to plant as soon as roots shoot out.
--- Not giving up on you girl!
--- TKO Round 2 let’s go!
- [16:04]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Looking beautiful my girls!
--- All mothers are vegging along and looking incredible!
--- Gnats are still present and getting a bit wild.
- [16:07]: Checked on the propagation dome.
--- Woah! What in Sto’Vo’Kor happened!?
--- Heady OG BX1 has fallen over!
--- Damnit Ensign!
- [16:14]: Using some gardening wire,
--- Made a support rig.
--- Well, this should hopefully keep her straight up and growing strong.
--- May need to start adding support rigs early to prevent top heavy seedlings from falling over.
--- Okay time to IPM spray!
--- Going to spray more Eliminator to reduce the gnat population.
--- Increasing the dosage but keeping the heavy concentration.
- [16:25]: Filled a pitcher with 12 cups of RO water.
------ Added 6 ounces of Dr. Zymes' Eliminator
--- Mixed the solution and poured it straight into a pump sprayer.
--- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto the top of each pot (~3 cups each).
--- Did not foliar spray.
- [16:54]: Also decided to switch out the yellow stick traps.
--- Marked each trap with the date before placing one into each pot.
- [17:02]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data:

--- Everything looking great! No flooding issues and environment looks perfect!
- [17:16]: Checked on the auto-watering system.
--- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing.
--- Decided to weight Heady OG BX1
--- Temporarily removed the support rig.
- [22:34]: Took the total weight of Heady OG BX1
--- She weighed 251.5g
--- It’s been 9 days since her last watering.
--- While on a scale,
--- Gently misted her straw mulch with RO water.
--- Tried to keep the top growth dry.
--- Misted 5-10 sprays. Waited a few seconds, then misted again.
- [22:43]: Repeated this process until the cup weighed 305.1g
--- There was no runoff.
--- Marked the watering date on the side of the cup.
- [22:46]: Added the support rig back on and placed her back into the propagation dome.
--- Well 9 days is a bit long between seedling watering, but I usually wait until the cup weighs less.
--- Maybe should have watered earlier?
--- Or maybe she dampened off? I dunno..
--- Hopefully she bounces back.
--- Please don’t die on me girl!

Ensign420 Introduction - Week 02 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17463.2,
Well this wouldn’t be a newbie grow without issues.
Been continuing to struggle with the germination phase.. Still have no idea what happened to the first Heady OG BX1 seed. Pretty de-motivating, but life is not perfect and success is never guaranteed.
Started another round of seeds last week which germinated and planted into solo cups. TKO sprouted from the soil, but still no signs of Heady OG BX1. May have to start another round of seeds again.
With the recent seed failures, the veg garden has been keeping me positive. Veg growth has been overall great! Topped all mothers pretty hard. Took a few days to recover, but now the canopy is lower and even! Gnats also seem to finally be under control, but will continue spray every few days.
Anyways.. Just gotta keep growing on.
Onwards to next week!

-----------------------------------
- [11:03]: Okay! Time to check on the seeds again!
--- It's been a week since TKO was placed on the cotton pad and about 6 days for Heady OG BX1.
--- Carefully removed a cotton pad stack from the bag.
--- Then flipped over the top pad.
--- Aye nice! Both have roots!
--- Heady OG BX1’s tap root has grown a bit more and looks white and healthy!
--- TKO’s tap root is shorter, but looks good too!
--- Would like longer tap roots and growth seems slow (for 7 days of germination), but going to transplant into solo cups anyways.
--- Time to plant Round 2, let’s go!
- [12:06]: 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 and poured the solution straight into a spray bottle.
--- Planting into solo cups before transplanting into fabric pots.
--- Since the soil is pretty dry, will be pre-wetting before planting.
- [12:15]: 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 with no water leakage.
- [12:31]: Filled two solo cups with the pre-wet soil.
--- Started with a handful of soil and packed the bottom of each cup. Then loosely filled each cup with more soil.
--- Made a shallow indentation into the center of each cup.
--- Also made sure to mark each cup with cultivar name and date.
- [12:34]: Inoculated each solo cup with Beauveria Bassiana.
------ Sprinkled 1/32tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus Powder into the center of the indentation.
- [12:38]: Time to plant the sprouted seeds!
--- Using a clean dab tool, scooped Heady OG BX1 off the pad and laid her gently into one of the solo cups.
--- Placed her on top of the inoculated area with the tap root sideways.
--- Repeated this process for the TKO seed.
--- Sprinkled and covered both seeds 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.
- [12:43]: Covered the top soil with BuildASoil Organic Straw Mulch.
--- Misted the top of each solo cup with more of the solution (10 sprays each).
--- This time, going to take the initial wet weights.
- [12:59]: Took Heady OG BX1’s starting wet weight.
--- She weighed 282.0g
--- Took TKO’s starting wet weight.
--- She weighed 286.8g
--- Marked the back of each cup with the initial wet weight.
--- Now I have a starting point to help dial in soil drybacks for watering.
- [13:06]: Covered each solo cup with a clear solo cup.
--- Misted the inside of each cup with a bit of distilled water (2 sprays).
--- Since the IPM spraying could have caused issues with the previous seedling, not going to sprout in the veg tent this time.
- [13:14]: Placed both solo cups into the 4x4 tent.
--- Raised the cups up a bit and have them resting just above the 30-gallon Grassroots fabric pot.
- [13:16]: Took general PPFD readings.
------ All phenos were around 134 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 8.68 mol/m²/d under a 18/6 light cycle.
--- Also adjusted the light schedule,
- [13:22]: Within the AC Infinity App,
--- For the Main Tent [4x4] controller,
--- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the grow light.
------ Changed the START/END time values from 04:00PM/10:00AM to Continuous
------ The MAX intensity is still at 1 out of 10 (147.5W)
--- Will run the grow light on 24/7 until a sprouts.
--- If nothing sprouts, will try to germinate another round.
- [16:07]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Veg garden is looking green and all mothers are still recovering from the topping.
--- Pots look good and no signs of flooding.

Ensign420 Introduction - Week 03 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17469.2,
Growth is getting better in the garden!
Started the week with one seedling and ended with two! Began a third round of seed germination. Slightly changed the germination method and am also sprouting in the 4x4 tent instead of the 3x3 veg tent. Heady OG BX1 continues to impress as she germinated in a day fully sprouted in her solo cup by the end of the week! Please be a girl! Still no sign of TKO Round 3 but plan to transplant in a few days.
The veg garden is continuing to grow healthy and green! Still battling gnats. Decided to start another full veg cycle out. Took clones and plan to dry the soil out for a bit.
An unexpected month of germination, but the garden is starting to get better and have two seedlings and one more potentially on the way. Now just have to keep them alive!
Randomly, also having some interesting mushroom growth in the 4x4 which is pretty cool.
Anyways, Onwards to next week!

--- Woah! There seems to be some mushroom growth in the 20-gallon pot.
--- The tent environment is definitely not ideal for mushroom growth (mushrooms need a higher humidity), but am stoked that the soil is healthy enough for spore growth!
--- These yellow pot mushrooms are not for eating, but will add to the mulch layer and feed the worms as they grow and die.

--- Tent environment is looking great!
--- Pots look good and no signs of flooding.
--- Checked the solo cups,
--- TKO was growing along, but still looking a bit off.
--- Still no sign of Heady OG BX1 Round 2..
--- Based off of current growth, will probably start a third round of seed germination for both cultivars tomorrow. Not sure if TKO Round 2 is going to make it and I doubt Heady OG BX1 will sprout.
--- The mushrooms are starting to die off in the 20-gallon pot. The grow cycle will hopefully begin again from fresh spores. If it does, will try to transplant a few mushrooms into the 30-gallon.
- [+00:31]: Checked on the auto-watering system.
--- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing.
- [+00:36]: Checked the humidifiers.

-----------------------------------
- [09:12]: Time for the third round of germination!
--- This will be seed germination attempt #74 and #75.
--- Going to be using the exact same cotton pad germination method, but with a couple adjustments.
--- Dusting each seed with an array of mycorrhizal microbes along with an inoculant of Beauveria Bassiana.
--- Also using RO water instead of distilled water.
--- Okay let’s go!
--- In another room (my bathroom),
- [09:14]: Placed 6 fresh cotton pads on top of some clean plastic wrap.
--- Using a spray bottle, Misted the top of each pad with 2 sprays of straight RO water.
--- One cultivar at a time,
------ Selected a random seed of ‘Heady OG BX1’ (Mendo Dope Farms| photo-reg),
------ Along with a random seed of ‘TKO’ (James Loud Genetics | photo-fem).
- [09:18]: Placed each seed onto a freshly wet pad.
--- Starting with the Heady OG BX1 seed, gently wiped and cleaned her with the pad.
--- Then placed the wiped seed into a container of Great White (1/32tsp) and Beauveria Bassiana Plus (1/64tsp) powder. Discarded the used pad.
--- Rolled the seed in the powder before placing her onto a fresh cotton pad.
- [09:26]: Repeated this process for the TKO seed.
--- Covered the top of each seed with the remaining wet cotton pads.
--- Misted the top of each cotton pad stack with 3 more sprays of RO water.
--- One cultivar at a time,
--- Placed each cotton pad stack into a fresh Ziploc bag (1quart bag).
--- Made sure each bag was properly labeled.
--- Misted the inside of each bag with 2 sprays of RO water.
--- Folded each bag in thirds.
--- Kept a corner open and did not fully seal the bags.
- [09:33]: Placed each bag onto the heating mat.
--- Covered the bags with a black opaque plastic container.
--- Then covered the container with a towel and a foam cover.

- [09:36]: The heating mat's thermostat is set to a warm 83°F
--- The mat was already preheated to 83.1°F
--- Regionally, it’s getting warmer, so lowered the thermostat a bit lower from the usual 85°F.
--- Alright! Round 3. Engage!
- [16:17]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Veg garden is looking incredible!
--- There seems to be a slight issue with the original Garlic Budder #1 pheno (back left). She seems stressed with signs of re-vegging. Growth is slower than the rest right now but still looking green.
--- Overall, veg growth looking beautiful!
--- Pots still have gnats, but no flooding.
--- Top growth was getting close to the light so did a bit of plant training by super-cropping the taller branches.
- [16:23]: Nice! Canopy is a lot more even!
--- Gnats are definitely still increasing in population.
--- Need to start implementing a more aggressive eradication regiment soon.

Ensign420 Introduction - Week 04 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17475.3,
Wow what a grow week!
Finally starting to have some progress with seedling growth looking a lot healthier than last week.
TKO round 3 seed never germinated, but somehow, the round 2 pheno has survived and by the end of the week is looking healthy with growth ramping up. Heady OG BX1 has been stretchy but looking healthy and is quite a bit larger than last week.
Aside from basic checkups, this week has mainly been more tending to the veg tent.
At the beginning of the week, transplanted the mother clone cuttings into Coco Coins for rooting. Will need to check for roots soon.
For mother plant veg training, didn’t top this week and tried super-cropping the taller branches. Seems to be working great, but growth is getting quite bushy. Will probably need to thin out the canopy and top again next week.
Also inoculated both tents with living nematodes and beneficial microbes. This has by far been the most effective treatment for the ongoing gnat issue. By the end of the week, the population was noticeably lower. Great!
Next week is going to be a busy one. Plan to transplant the Coco Coins into solo cups and possible start my first sex test to verify if Heady OG BX1 is a female. Please be a girl!
Anyways,
Onwards to next week Ensign!

--- Heady OG BX1 is looking healthy and TKO is starting to look a lot better.
--- Clones are also looking healthy and green!
- [19:40]: Time to begin the rooting process!
--- Configured the controller on the AC Infinity Propagation dome.
--- Made sure the settings were correct for vegetative growth:
------ START/END times were set to 04:00PM/10:00AM
------ Light intensity was set to 2 (out of 10).
--- Made sure the propagation light controller’s time was in sync with the Controller 69 Pro.
--- Also cleaned the clone tray and prepped it for fresh clone.
- [19:48]: Filled a measuring cup with 1.5 cups 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.
- [19:57]: Dropped 4 Coco Coins into the measuring cup.

- [20:15]: Using a squeeze bottle filled with Clonex,
--- Gently filled each pre-made hole with Clonex rooting gel.
- [20:20]: Time to plant the cuttings!
--- Using a pair of clean trimmers, made a final 45° cut.
--- Also stripped and scrapped some of the stem’s outer membrane a bit.
--- To help with planting, gave each Coco Coin a squeeze to loosen the coco.
--- Inserted and made sure each stem was snug with the tip about a 1/4 inch from the bottom of the Coco Coin.
--- Once each cutting was planted,
- [20:46]: Placed each pheno into the propagation dome.
--- Made sure to keep each tag with the correct cuttings.
- [20:46]: Using a spray bottle,
--- Misted the top growth with distilled water.
--- Also added 1/4 cup of RO water to the bottom of the tray.
--- Misted the sides of the propagation dome with distilled water.
- [20:53]: Sprayed the top of the propagation dome before covering the cuttings.
--- All vents are fully closed.
--- As far as PPFD, should be around 136 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 8.81 mol/m²/d
--- Will check back daily to cycle the air under the dome.
--- Okay! Going to inoculate each veg pot with more BTI (Bacillus Thuringiensis, subspecies Israelensis).
--- There is already crushed Mosquito Dunks from top dressed, but am also going to water in some WDG3000 for an extra BTI boost.
- [21:36]: Filled a pitcher with 16 cups of RO water.
------ Added 1/8tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60]
------ Added 1tbsp of WDG3000 Extra Strength BTI

- [22:19]: Repeated this process again for the rest of the phenos in the veg tent.
--- Focused mainly on the straw.
--- Also swapped the yellow sticky traps with new ones.
- [23:25]: Decided to plant some cover crop!
--- Going back to my roots and will try to add a more diverse living cover crop.
--- Plan to trim and cull once a pheno is planted. The added bio matter will help feed the worms and will later be nutrient available.
--- Inoculated a bag of BuildASoil 12 Seed Clover Crop:
------ Added 1/64tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus
------ Added 1/32tsp of WDG3000 Extra Strength BTI
------ Added 1/32tsp of Great White
------ Added 1/8tsp of Mycrobe Complete
--- Shook the bag thoroughly and waited a bit for the dust to settle.
- [23:38]: Sprinkled a handful of seeds into both pots in the 4x4 tent.
--- Using, my fingers, gently agitated the straw mulch.
--- Made sure the seeds dropped below the mulch and were in contact with the soil.
--- Also plucked a few decaying yellow pot mushrooms from the 20-gallon and placed them into the 30-gallon. These are not for human or animal consumption, but the worms will enjoy them!
- [23:55]: Filled a pitcher with 8 cups of RO water.
------ Added 1/64tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus
------ Added 1/32tsp of WDG3000 Extra Strength BTI
------ Added 1/32tsp of Recharge

--- She weighed 254.2g
--- It’s been 8 days since her last watering.
--- While on a scale,
--- Gently misted her straw mulch with RO water.
--- Tried to keep the top growth dry.

- [20:18]: Repeated this process until the cup weighed 311.0g
--- There was no runoff.
--- Marked the watering date on the side of the cup.

--- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing.
- [20:38]: Checked the humidifiers.
--- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.
- [20:58]: Time for another grow-board wipe!
--- Looking back over the past month of growing,
--- Been a pretty rough start, but after about 5 weeks of trying, I think I finally have viable and healthy seedlings.
--- Been mainly germinating and tending to the gnats in the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Not sure what happened to cause all the failures, but I’m guessing the difficulties were related to the veg tent and on-going gnat issue (which now seems to be finally under control).
--- Once I switched to the 4x4 tent, growth seems to be a lot more stable and healthy.
--- On a side note,
--- Been pheno hunting through my past harvests and have discovered several things.
--- First of all, smoking about 8-9 phenos daily is both extremely fun and satisfying!
--- I am thoroughly enjoying my homegrown medicinal flower and have started to finally save money by not needing to purchase from the dispensary as often (mainly purchase extracts now).
--- But wow! This pheno hunting can take a toll on your lungs for sure. Occupational hazard I suppose (*smokes another bowl).
--- Also discovered a significant difference in smoke quality between batches of harvests. Currently smoke testing the most recent Garlic Budder harvest (original #1) with a previous Garlic Budder harvest of the same cultivar (about 4 months apart).
--- The flavor profile is a lot more prominent in the 4-month cured buds.
--- I understand that while curing, flavors generally improve over time, but wow the difference is pretty significant.
--- Technically I am also comparing a seed harvest against a clone harvest of the same cultivar.
--- But currently postulating the main difference is the cure time.
--- Also sampling another 4-month cured Garlic Budder cultivar (the #1 pheno) that is absolutely dank with earthy terps! Unfortunately this was a pheno I did not keep (damnit Ensign).
--- Now considering to save and pheno smoke hunt for two grow cycles before deciding to cull.
--- I guess you grow and you learn. Just gotta keep growing on.
--- Anyways,
--- Hoping the next 5 weeks will grow smoother.
--- If all goes well, will hopefully be in full veg by then.
--- Also plan to sex test soon and am hoping that Heady OG BX1 is a female. Please be a girl!

Introduction - Week 05 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17481.3,
Wow what a grow week!
Growth is continuing to get better in the garden! Raised both cultivars slightly closer to the light. TKO has completely recovered and wow growth has been raging with health! By the end of the week, transplanted her into the 20-gallon pot.
Sent in my first plant sex test! Clipped a sample of Heady OG BX1 and shipped it out and am waiting on the results. Please be girl!
As for the veg garden, been doing a lot of super-crop training and wow has been incredible!
Mother clones rooted and all Coco Coins were transplanted into solo cups.
Onwards to next week Ensign!

-----------------------------------
- [09:13]: Ca-Caw! Time start the DNA sex test!
--- This will be my first time doing any form of DNA sex testing.
--- Farmer Freeman offers DNA sex testing through the mail. Ordered and received a single sample kit.
--- The kit came with a labeled sample envelope and corresponding plant tag.
--- Both the envelope and plant tag had the same ID number (#ZY86124).
--- An instructional card and sticker slap was also provided.
--- The card had 4 basic steps. In short,
------ Place the tag.
------ Take your sample.
------ Submit your sample.
------ Receive your results.
--- Seems pretty straightforward.
--- What can possibly go wrong right?
--- Heady OG BX1 seems more than ready for sampling.
--- Since I’m only sampling one cultivar, going to place the tag last.
--- If all goes well, should receive my results a week or two. Really hoping for a female.
--- Anyways, let’s go!
- [09:15]: Using a pair of clean trimmers,
--- Clipped a 1-inch leaf sample from Heady OG BX1.
--- Marked the provided bag and placed the leaf sample inside.
--- Placed the plant tag into the solo cup. Not necessary, but why not.
- [09:23]: Placed Heady OG BX1 back into the tent.
--- Plan to ship out the sample tomorrow.
- [12:52]: Personal pheno smoke hunt update!
--- Still enjoying the most recent two harvests and am continuing to hunt through the phenos daily.
--- Persistently surprised on the flavor difference between the two Garlic Budder harvests.
--- Already regret culling two Garlic Budder phenos.
--- Really did not expect such distinct flavor profile differences between a 1-month and 4-month batch of the same pheno.
--- So far, based on my current experience, curing is an essential factor and has changed the way I’m hunting for keepers.
--- Going to extend the plant selection process and will try to cure for a full harvest cycle (which is about 4 months) before truly sampling and deciding on mother plants to cull.
--- Currently both Gorilla Goat phenos are tasting okay, but not as pungent as any of the 4-month cured Garlic Budder phenos.
--- Quite curious on how taste will further develop in 3-4 months.
--- Anyways,
- [16:21]: Evening check on the 4x4 tent.
--- Looking great in the garden!
--- Both Heady OG BX1 and TKO are looking beautiful!
--- Heady OG is growing along like a champ! The cut leaf shows no sign of stress or decay. Nice!
--- Wow! TKO’s growth is has completely changed and is looking healthy and vigorous!
- [16:35]: Took the weekly height and light distance measurements.
------ Heady OG BX1 was about 3" tall.
------ TKO was about 2.5" tall.
------ All phenos were about 31.5" away from the grow light.
- [16:39]: Took general PPFD readings.
------ All phenos were around 280 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 18.14 mol/m²/d under an 18/6 light cycle.
- [16:42]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data:

- [17:36]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Wow the mother tent is looking healthy!
--- Veg growth is perky and green!
--- Pots are also looking great and gnat population seems low and unchanged. Plan to swap out the yellow stick traps soon, will leave as is for now.
--- Super-cropped more of the vegging top growth.
- [17:43]: Canopy looks a bit lower and even.
--- Super-cropping really does seem to be the best way to bush out the canopy.
--- Checked the propagation dome,
--- Woah! Can clearly see signs of rooting!
--- Roots are bursting out of the top of a few Coco Coins.
--- Time to transplant the rooted cuttings!
- [17:47]: Took 4 clean pre-used solo cups (already has bottom drainage holes cut) and labeled each with name and date.
--- Filled the bottom of each cup with some fresh (and dry) BuildASoil 3.0 potting soil.
--- Made sure that the soil was well compacted.
--- The soil level is just under the ‘O’ in ‘Solo.’
--- Misted the dry soil with a bit of RO water (~3 sprays).
- [18:02]: Inoculated each cup with Great White mycorrhizae.
------ Sprinkled 1/16tsp of Great White
--- Nice! Time to transplant!
--- One clone at a time,
- [18:05]: Took a rooted clone and placed one into each solo cup.
--- Made sure each solo cup had enough room for more soil.
- [18:14]: Inoculated each Coco Coin with Great White mycorrhizae.
------ Sprinkled about an 1/16tsp of Great White onto each Coco Coin.
--- Tried to dust the top and sides of each Coco Coin evenly.
- [18:17]: Using more fresh BuildASoil 3.0 Potting Soil,
--- Gently filled each solo cup with more soil.
--- Centered each Coco Coin first before gently pouring the soil.
--- Completely covered the top of each Coco Coin and made sure to tuck the sides fairly snug. Tamped down the top soil evenly. Afterwards, sprinkled a bit of loose soil on top.
--- Currently each Coco Coin is at least a quarter inch below the top soil.
--- Using some BuildASoil Organic Straw Mulch,
- [18:47]: Covered the top soil of each solo cup with straw.
--- Used the small shredded straw bits at the bottom of the bag (great for solo cups).
--- Time to water!
- [18:56]: Filled a measuring cup with 2 cups of RO water.
------ Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60]
------ Added 1/16tsp of Horticultural Coconut
------ Added 1/16tsp of Horticultural Aloe
------ Added 1/8tsp of Mycrobe Complete
--- Mixed and poured the solution straight into a spray bottle.
- [18:59]: Took the dry soil weight of each pheno before watering,
------ Gorilla Goat #1 weighed 279.4g
------ Gorilla Goat #2 weighed 281.6g
------ Garlic Budder OG#1 weighed 277.8g
------ Garlic Budder OG#2 weighed 294.6g
--- Marked the starting weight on the back of each cup.
--- While on a scale,
--- Gently misted the straw mulch of each cup.
--- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible.
--- Misted 10-20 sprays. Waited a bit, then misted again.
--- Repeated this process for each cup.
--- There was no runoff.
- [19:27]: Took the weight of each pheno after watering,
------ Gorilla Goat #1 weighed 33.1g
------ Gorilla Goat #2 weighed 333.5g
------ Garlic Budder OG#1 weighed 332.2g
------ Garlic Budder OG#2 weighed 348.0g
--- Marked the wet weight on each cup.
--- Having both the initial dry and wet weights gives a basic range to stay within.
--- Should help for future waterings.
- [19:41]: Placed each cup into the 4x4 tent.
--- Placed them above the 5-gallon mulch pot on an upside-down plastic pots.
--- Misted the top growth with RO water.
- [19:45]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system.
--- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing.

Introduction - Week 06 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17487.4,
Wow what another great week in the garden!
Both tents have been growing extremely well and are looking healthy! If all continues to grow well, be DNA sex testing soon!
Got the DNA sex test results and unfortunately got a male.
Restarted a fourth round of seeds and germinated two more seeds which sprouted into healthy seedlings by the end of the week! Now there are two Heady OG BX1 phenos to hopefully test in a week or so.
Vegging mother plants are continuing to bush out and gnats appear to be completely gone! Based on the vegging clones, plan to cycle out the entire veg tent next week.
Onwards to next week Ensign!

- [12:05]: Okay! Received an email from Farmer Freeman with the DNA sex test results for Heady OG BX1!
--- And the results are,
--- Shaka..
--- When the walls fell..
--- Got a MALE..
--- Whelp.
--- A bit disappointed but nothing I can do about it..
--- Really glad I waited to transplant.
--- Oh well. Guess it’s time to pop more beans!
--- Need to start planning another round of germination soon!
- [23:57]: Night check on the 4x4 tent.
--- Garden is looking green and beautiful!
--- Still a bit disappointed about the DNA sex results but getting a male is normal part of sprouting regular seeds.
--- But can’t worry about things I can’t control. Just keep growing on.
--- To prevent any possibility of accidental pollination, can’t keep male plants. The male has gotta go!
- [23:58]: Culled the Heady OG BX1 (Round 3) cultivar.
--- Already ordered and have more (Farmer Freeman) DNA sex tests on the way!
--- Plan to start seed germination Round 4 tomorrow!
--- Anyways,
--- TKO is looking great and wow the mushrooms are in bloom again! Beautiful!
--- The veg mother clones are also looking health and perky!
--- Aye nice! Stoked that the Garlic Budder OG#1 pheno (bottom right) is starting to grow out of her stunted re-vegging! Not sure what could have caused the unusual growth, but she is looking better now.
--- Need to water the clones. Let’s go!
- [+00:13]: Took the starting weight of each pheno before watering,
------ Gorilla Goat #1 weighed 258.3g
------ Gorilla Goat #2 weighed 244.8g
------ Garlic Budder OG#1 weighed 263g
------ Garlic Budder OG#2 weighed 299.8g
--- All phenos were last watered 2 days ago.
--- While on a scale,
--- Gently misted the straw mulch of each cup with RO water.
--- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible.
--- Misted 10-20 sprays. Waited a moment, then misted again.
--- Made sure to reference the initial watering weights.
--- Repeated this process for each cup.
--- There was no runoff.
- [+00:55]: Took the saturated weight of each pheno after watering,
------ Gorilla Goat #1 weighed 355.5g
------ Gorilla Goat #2 weighed 355.5g
------ Garlic Budder OG#1 weighed 354.9g
------ Garlic Budder OG#2 weighed 360.6g
--- Marked the final wet weight on the back of each cup. Also marked the watering date on the front.
--- Also did a bit of defoliation and removed a few of the lower and damaged leaves.
- [+01:10]: Placed all phenos back into the veg tent.
--- Growing and tending to mother plants is a great way to refine veg growing and training.
--- Need to slow down veg growth, so plan to transplant in a week or so.

--- Looking great my ladies!
--- Wow mother veg growth is raging and healthy!
--- Nice! Pots are dry and gnats are gone!? Nematodes for the win!
--- Super-cropped more taller branches and dropped the canopy a few nodes lower.
- [21:53]: Looking nice and even!
--- To maintain an even and bushy canopy, super-cropping has been way more effective technique versus topping.
--- But topping definitely has its uses.
- [+01:23]: Checked the humidifiers.

--- Then flipped over the top pads.
--- Ca-Caw!
--- Ahh yea! I got HEADIES!
--- Both Heady OG BX1 seeds popped and already have healthy tap roots! Wow!
--- Mendo Dope by far has the healthiest genetics I’ve ever sprouted!
--- Never had this sort of vigorous germination growth from any feminized genetic I’ve sprouted.
--- Or maybe I’ve just improved as a grower? Nah!
--- Anyways,
--- Time to plant these trees!
--- Let’s go Ensign!
- [23:23]: Filled a measuring cup with 1 cup of RO water.
--- Added a pinch of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60]

--- Poured the entire 1/4 cup of wetting solution straight in.
--- Mixed the soil and gave it a good squeeze.
--- Needed to add a bit more solution, but eventually,
--- The soil clumped up nicely with no water leakage.
- [23:45]: Filled two solo cups with the pre-wet soil.
--- Started with a handful of soil and packed the bottom of each cup quite firmly. Then loosely filled each cup with more soil.
--- Made a shallow indentation into the center of each cup.
--- Also made sure to mark each cup with both name and date.
- [23:57]: Inoculated each solo cup with mycorrhizae and trichoderma.
------ Sprinkled 1/8tsp of Great White into the center of the indentation.
- [+00:03]: Time to plant the sprouted seeds!
--- Using a clean dab tool, scooped the first Heady OG BX1 seed off the pad and laid her gently into one of the solo cups.
--- Placed her on top of the inoculated area with the tap root sideways.
--- Repeated this process for the other sprouted seed.
--- Sprinkled and covered both seeds 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.
- [+00:19]: Covered the top soil with BuildASoil Organic Straw Mulch.
--- Misted the top of each solo cup with more of the solution (~10 sprays each).
- [+00:21]: Took initial starting wet weights.

- [+00:34]: Placed both solo cups into the 4x4 tent.
--- Raised the cups up a bit and have them resting just above the 30-gallon Grassroots fabric pot.
--- Moved the vegging mother clones to the front left side of the tent (above the mulch bucket).
- [+00:37]: Checked the humidifiers.
--- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.
--- Wow what a night!
--- Both Heady OG BX1 seeds sprouted and fully planted!
--- Based on root growth, hoping to see sprouts in a day or so.
--- Grow strong little ones!

--- All mother clones are also looking great and fully rooted.
- [19:38]: Night check on the 4x4 tent.
--- Garden is looking healthy and tent environment is stable and humid!
--- Oh what!? Ca-Caw!
--- The center of each cup has definite movement!
- [19:41]: Can barely see both Heady OG BX1 seedlings starting to pop through the straw!
--- Gonna wait a bit more before removing the humidity domes.
--- Wow these genetics are incredible! By far the quickest germination and growth I’ve ever had. Ca-Caw!
--- Since day one, all my seed attempts have been feminized. As a beginner grower, having the benefit of not worrying about males is a definite plus. Heard that regular seeds are more vigorous than feminized. Not sure, if this is true, but Heady OG BX1 has definitely been easier to germinate than TKO.
--- Still not sure what the shaka happened with the last healthy seedling. The issue was most likely user and not genetics.
--- Germination issues aside, once sprouted and rooted, TKO has been extremely healthy! She’s looking green and perky!

Introduction - Week 07 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17493.4,
Wow what another great grow week!
Growth in the main tent has been ramping up and green! Both Heady OG BX1 seedlings are getting larger and looking healthy!
This week, most of the garden work was in the veg garden. Culled and reset the entire veg tent. Also transplanted the new mother clones which are now vegging along beautifully!
Onwards to next week Ensign!

--- Wow! Looking great in the garden!
--- Ca-Caw! I got Headies!
--- Both Heady OG BX1 seedlings are looking healthy and perky! Can see a bit of genetic variation, but growth is green and healthy.
--- TKO is looking healthy! She looks like a completely different pheno compared to a month ago. Wow!
--- Veg mother clones are looking incredibly perky as well! Clearly could have transplanted by now, but since these are solely for pheno hunting, wanted to keep them in the cups longer.
--- Even the cover crop in both pots are looking healthy and bio diversity is .
--- Finally getting hyped for this cycle!
--- Ooo yea let’s go!

Day 02 - Tuesday - 06/03/25 - Total Days: 051
-----------------------------------
Daily Averages ~[+01:00]
- Temps: 83.6°F [28.7°C]
- Humidity: 76.0%
- VPD: 0.94 kPa
- Soil %: [46, 44, 46, 58, 41, 42, 41, 42]
-----------------------------------
- [09:43]: Quick morning check on the 4x4 tent.
--- Garden is looking healthy!
--- Both Heady OG BX1 seedlings are getting bigger and looking perky!
--- Wow! TKO is continue to dominate this grow and is both heathy and bushing out.
--- Mother clones are looking great too!
- [14:00]: Okay! Time to start the mother cycling process.
--- After the culling, will also top dress each pot.
--- Plan to transplant the clones on a later day.
--- Within the AC Infinity App,
--- For the Veg Tent [3x3] controller,
--- Temporarily adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the grow light.
------ Changed the START/END time values from 04:00PM/10:00AM to CONTINUOUS
--- Really don't like culling perfectly healthy plants, but would need a third tent to flower-out the mothers (under 12/12) while being able to maintain the new vegging mother clones (under 18/6).
--- Culling is the best way for now.
--- Anyways,
- [14:14]: Using a basic hacksaw,
--- Cut the base of each mother and mulched the entire plant.
- [15:55]: Done!
--- Mulched all mother plants into a single paper bag.
--- Was actually surprised all four plants fit into one paper bag. Will dry and re-use later.
- [16:22]: Time to top dress the first pot!
--- Starting with the front right pot,
--- Disconnected the auto watering system.
--- Took the pot out of the tent and placed it on the floor.
- [17:09]: Removed the rootball.
--- Temporarily removed the soil sensor and straw mulch.
--- Removed the larger roots as well. Will add these back later as part of the mulch.
--- Gently broke up and tilled the top 5-6 inches of top soil.
--- The soil felt nice and moist with no foul odors.
--- Also stoked that each pot had ample worms! Was worried that they may not have survived the recent fungus gnat infestation.
- [17:12]: Time for the soil amendments!
--- Top dressed:
------ 1/4 cup of Kashi Blend
------ 1/2 cup of Craft Blend
------ 2 cups of BuildASoil Worm Castings
--- Sprinkled each amendment evenly.
--- Using my fingers, gently tilled the amendments into the top few inches of soil.
--- Also dug and loosened the center area. Made sure the area was deep enough for a solo cup and had some of the top dressing mixed in.
- [17:46]: Dug a hole and placed a solo cup into the center of the pot.
--- Made sure the sides of the cup were tucked in.
--- Also have drainage holes cut out for watering later.
- [17:52]: These are my roots! Placed the larger roots removed from earlier. Should make a great addition to the straw mulch. Spread the roots evenly.
--- Placed the original straw mulch on top.
--- Placed the rootball into the solo cup to dry-out. Will mulch later.
- [18:13]: Placed the Ecowitt soil sensor back into the pot. To keep everything organized marked tent location on the sensor.
--- Also re-connected the drip-ring rig.
--- Set the pot aside for later.
- [21:34]: Repeated this process for each pot.
--- Alright all pots have been reset!
--- Time for a bit of cleanup!
- [21:45]: Cleaned the tent floor.
--- First sweeped and removed the larger leaf debris.
--- Then sprayed the floor with distilled water and let it soak for a bit before wiping with paper towels.
- [22:24]: Placed all pots into the tent and connected the drip-rings to the auto-watering system.
--- Looking great ladies!
- [22:26]: Decided to adjust the lower veg tent’s oscillating fan.
--- Placed the AC Infinity CloudRay S6 (Gen2) onto the floor.
--- Took a 20lb dumbbell and wrapped it a paper and plastic bags. The clip fan clamped perfectly and the rig seems stable.
--- Have the fan rig pointing straight up with the oscillation on (set to 5 out of 10).
--- Mainly did this because the back left pheno (Garlic Budder OG#1) seemed to have a rough grow cycle. She was the smallest and had signs of stress related re-vegging.
--- Based on how the clone looks (which is nice and healthy), the growth issue was not genetic related.
--- I think the fan (which was above the plant the entire cycle) caused the stunted and funky growth.
--- The new positon should also provide better under canopy circulation along with better cooling for the grow light.
--- Plan to run the exact same phenos, so will be able to compare the growth difference (if any).
--- But still have more to do! Let’s go!
--- Time to water the new mothers!
--- Since most of the time these girls will be receiving straight RO water, going to water in a diversity of microbes to start off the initial breakdown process.
- [23:33]: Filled a measuring cup with 8 cups of straight RO water,
------ Added 1/16tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract
------ Added 1/16tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus
------ Added 1/8tsp of Recharge
------ Added 1/4tsp of Horticultural Aloe
------ Added 1/4tsp of Horticultural Coconut
------ Added 1/2tsp of Mycrobe Complete
------ Added 1/2tsp of WDG3000 Extra Strength BTI
- [23:37]: Mixed the solution before pouring 2 cups into a pump sprayer.
--- Misted the solution onto the straw mulch of the back left pot.
--- Tried to avoid spraying the solo cups.
--- Repeated this process for the rest of the pots in the veg tent.
--- Misted the straw mulch evenly.
- [+00:06]: Done with the tent reset!
--- All pots are fully re-amended and the veg tent is ready for another veg cycle!
- [+00:08]: Within the AC Infinity App,
--- For the Veg Tent [3x3] controller,
--- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the grow light.
------ Switched the START/END time values from CONTINUOUS back to 04:00PM/10:00AM
- [12:25]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data and updated the names:

------ Garlic Budder OG#2 weighed 247.7g
--- All phenos were lasted watered 2 days ago.
--- While on a scale,
--- Gently misted the straw mulch of each cup with RO water.
--- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible.
--- Misted 10-20 sprays. Waited a moment, then misted again.
--- Made sure to reference the initial watering weights.

-----------------------------------
- [08:20]: Ca-Caw! Morning check on the 4x4 tent.
--- Good morning my ladies!
--- Both Heady OG BX1 phenos are getting bigger and looking great! Compared to previous seed attempts, the higher PPFD levels seem to be helping with the stretch. Both phenos are staying relatively squat. As with last round, want to wait a bit longer before DNA sex testing. Please be female!
--- TKO is looking green and raging with noticeable growth.
--- All veg mother clones are looking beautiful!
- [08:24]: Alright! Time to plant the new mothers!

--- It’s been about 2 days since the last watering.
- [08:56]: Starting with Garlic Budder OG#1,
--- To loosen rootball, gently squeezed the sides and pressed the bottom of the cup upwards until the roots were unstuck.
--- Vulcan-gripped the base of the plant and flipped her upside down.
--- Wow roots exploded! Lots of white and healthy growth. Beautiful!
--- Definitely could have transplanted earlier, but not really in a hurry.
--- Did not break up the root ball.
--- Gently placed her straight into the pre-inoculated hole.
--- Pressed and evened out the top soil.

Introduction - Week 09 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17505.5,
Another great grow week!
Growth is ramping up and wow TKO is thriving! Compared to the beginning of the week, growth has just exploded! By the end of the week, she’s bushed out with growth! Almost time to start scrogging!
Most of the week was tending and training the veg tent.
As for the Heady OG BX1 phenos, got the DNA sex test results and found my first regular female! One ended up being a male and had to be culled. The female (#1 pheno), was planted into the 30-gallon fabric pot and has already begun to take off with growth!
Veg tent has been looking green and healthy! The gnat population was ramping up towards the middle of the week. Received the nematodes and inoculated the entire garden.
Plan to start stringing up the scrog frame soon. Anyways,
Onwards to next week!

Introduction - Week 10 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17511.6,
Pretty smooth week in the garden!
For the most part the garden has been on auto and the ladies are raging with healthy growth!
Veg tent has been healthy with growth and the canopy is already full! Also gnats are gone!
Originally was planning to re-string the scrog frame, but defoliated both plants instead. Will re-string next week! Maybe.
Onwards to next week Ensign!

Introduction - Week 11 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17517.6,
Another healthy week in the garden!
Heady OG is filling in her pot beautifully and wow growth is healthy and all I see is green! Ca-Caw! TKO has also been raging and blowing up with growth!
Re-strung the scrog frame and dropped it in place. Also upgraded the tent a bit by installing Vivosun’s CFM Kit.
Pancaked TKO and started training her to fill in the back two quadrants of the tent. Heady also reached the netting! Started some low-stress training to fill in the front two quadrants.
Veg tent has been healthy and gnat free! Super-cropped the mothers and the canopy has been recovering nicely!
Also started germinating my first batch of popcorn tea! This will be my first time applying any Sprout Seed Tea (SST) and plan to feed next week.
Onwards to next week Ensign!

-----------------------------------
- [13:03]: Smoke update!
--- Wow! I think I found the one!
--- Both of the Garlic Budder phenos (OG#1 and OG#2) are getting pretty dank!
--- Both have been curing for a good 6-7 months (since 12/13/24) and now taste completely different! The #2 pheno now has a pungent earthy fuel profile which has made her a keeper! The #1 pheno is more on the purple sweeter terp profile side, which is not really enough to be a keeper, but the smoke is definitely smoother and terpier than before.
--- Still searching for more keepers, but now have a potential mother to breed with. Getting hyped!
--- Wow curing really does make a huge difference!
--- As for the Gorilla Goat phenos, they have been curing for about 3 months (since 04/08/25) and taste okay but nothing special. The #1 pheno still has a pretty loud lemon cleaner nose, but nothing to special on the smoke. Yet. I think.
--- Also, for this cycle, plan to probably reduce the 18/6 harvest flip from 7 days down to 4 days. I think 7 days might have been too long and may have caused some re-vegging.
--- Will continue to pheno hunt for more keepers!
- [16:21]: Evening check on the 4x4 tent.
--- Wow the garden is raging!
--- All growth looks green and the canopy is filling in!
--- Heady OG is starting to reach the side of the 30 gallon pot, but still has a ways to go before reaching the scrog frame. Growth looks healthy and green so I’m happy!
--- Wow TKO is bushy and getting enormous! She has already started to fill in the front left quadrant of the tent.
- [16:23]: Alright! Time to start scrogging and training out the canopy. Let’s go!
--- Temporarily took the PVC scrog frame out of the tent.
- [16:35]: Okay time to re-string the frame!
--- Like always, used mason string for the netting and double-looped each screw. Strung the vertical lines before weaving the horizontal lines over and under the vertical lines.
--- Also covered the top of each corner with foil and masking tape.
- [17:14]: Done! Scrog frame is re-strung and looking great!
--- Set the frame aside for a bit.
- [17:15]: Going to give Vivosun’s High CFM (cubic feet per minute) Support Kit a try.
--- Once the scrog frame is installed, the back area is difficult to access. So need to install the kit before placing the frame back in.
--- The kit came with 4 identical support bars which snap snugly onto the vertical tent bars.
--- Assembly was pretty straight forward and the bars snapped and screwed together with ease.
--- To make the process a lot easier, I installed all the corners first. The bars easily snapped into the corner pieces and once fully secured, the whole tent feels a lot more stable. The kit also widens the tent to keep the fans from hitting the sides.
--- Left the front bar off for now (only have the front corners installed).
--- To ensure that the support bars are level, decided to place the bottom (back and front) bars just above where the tent bars snap together (about 41 inches from the floor). The top (side) bars were installed just above (about 43 inches from the floor).
--- These bars should help to keep the walls of the tent expanded which should give more room for the oscillating fans.
- [18:05]: Installed and gently dropped the scrog frame into place.
--- Secured each corner to each corner (flag pole) clip.
--- The frame height was not adjusted and the netting is about 33 inches from the floor.
--- Also trained TKO and tucked her taller branches under the netting.
--- Super-cropped and pinched a few branches and redirected them away from the front area of the tent.
--- Lastly, installed the front CFM bar.
--- Keeping the front area clear for Heady OG and won’t flip to flower until the frame is completely full.
--- Heady OG still has yet to reach the netting, but that’s okay.
--- Plan to veg for another month or so before flipping to flower so Heady OG has plenty of time to fill in the front.
--- Grow strong my girls!

--- Mothers are vegging along beautifully and wow the canopy has exploded!
--- The canopy has almost reached the grow light!
--- Time to super-crop!
- [18:35]: To make the process a lot easier, used a pair of needle-nose pliers.
--- For added cushioning, the tips of the pliers were wrapped in masking tape.
- [18:37]: Perfect! The canopy is flat and a good 5-6 inches lower!
--- The pliers made super-cropping a whole lot easier! Especially stoked on how well they worked on the Garlic Budder phenos in the back. Both have brittle branches and when pinching and bending, a few usually break. But not when using the pliers. Nice!
--- Pots also look great and no signs of gnats! The double inoculation seemed to have eliminated the larval population and the under canopy is thriving!
- [18:41]: Checked the humidifiers.
--- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.
--- Another grow day done!

--- Looking great in the mother tent! All growth is raging and starting to stretch upwards again!
--- Pots look good and no signs of gnats. Perfect!
- [19:22]: Ca-Caw! Time to start making some popcorn tea!
--- This will be my first attempt at any form of Sprouted Seed Tea (SST). What can possibly go wrong right?
--- Anyways,
--- Shoutout to Easy-E and Bleezy along with Minnesota Nice for the basic recipe and technique! Feed the worms and keep the soil hydrated. The worms will do the rest.
--- Of course shoutout to the legend who inspired all three, Subcool420. His videos are still on YouTube and are an inspiration to keep striving to grow better and to eventually breed the best genetics. Peace and live forever through good memories. 🖖
--- Over a decade of dope and living soil is still the way to grow! Stay up weed nerds!
--- Adjusted the original 10 gallon SST recipe to a 1 gallon batch.
--- Also adding in a bit of aloe for the initial seed soak.
--- To germinate and sprout the popcorn, using a one pint (2 cups) wide-mouth mason jar.
--- Alright Ensign, don’t frack this up! Let’s go!
------ Added 2tbsp of Popcorn Seeds
------ Added 1 cup of RO water
------ Added 1/64tsp of Horticultural Aloe
--- Mixed the solution and seeds around a bit.
- [17:46]: Decided to also place the jar on the heating mat.
--- The thermostat is set to a warm 83°F (currently at 85.2°F)
--- Shouldn’t be an issue since the local weather is warming up, but just want to keep the jar nice and warm.
--- To keep the jar insulated, covered it with a towel.
--- Done!
--- Going to soak the seeds for at least 24hrs before draining out the water. Then plan to rinse the seeds daily with RO water for about a week before blending up and feeding!
--- The sprouted popcorn will contain both growth enzymes and cytokinins which will help the soil biology.
--- Also the worms will enjoy the extra nutrients!
- [+00:55]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system.
--- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing.
- [+00:57]: Checked the humidifiers.
--- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Introduction - Week 13 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17529.7,
Ooo yea! Summer is definitely here! Been a hot and humid week! But wow growth has been thriving and vibing in the garden!
Feels like the tropics in the lung room, but the higher humidity seems to be perfect for vegging plants!
By the end of the week, the canopy is almost full, so decided to flip to flower in 7 days! To prep for flower, slightly increased the VPD levels which are also helping to lower the humidity down a bit.
Defoliated both ladies and been tucking and training the top growth. To preserve these genetics, started the cloning process and took cuttings. By the end of the week, the cuttings were transplanted into Coco Coins for rooting!
Topped and defoliated all mother plants in the veg tent which lowered the canopy by a good 5-6 inches. But by the end of the week, the canopy is stretching upwards again and growth is looking beautiful!
For this grow cycle, instead of a top dress, been researching about fungal dominant compost teas and plan to stew and brew up my first batch soon which will probably be in a week or so.
Anyways, one more week until the big flip to flower! Let’s go!
Onwards to next week Ensign!

- [15:55]: Been researching about organic growing and am looking into fungal-dominant compost tea brewing.
--- Also got the 5-gallon bucket kit from TeaLabs (via BuildASoil) and am stoked to start stewing and brewing!
--- Been learning about the soil food web and the information is absolutely fascinating. Shout out to Dr. Elaine Ingham! Her methodology and growing concepts are very similar to that of Masanobu Fukuoka and the concepts I’ve learned about regenerative farming has helped to improve my understanding about healthy soil and compost.
--- These concepts are also applied to brewing good aerobic fungal-dominant compost teas.
--- Plan to feed straight RO this week, but may try brewing my first batch of compost tea in a week or so.
--- Anyways,
- [16:23]: Evening check on the 4x4 tent.
