NoVC01 08/16/2025 - OFF TO THE RACES! Boring now until I begin to shape the plants. Week 5 Day 1 Prepare grow bags for transplant. Amend Soil Individual Nutrients: (tsp) 1/4 RAW Nitrogen 1/4 RAW Phosphorus 1/8 RAW Potassium 1/8 RAW Kelp 1/8 RAW Humic Acid 1/4 RAW Silica 1/16 RAW Yucca 1/8 RAW B-Vitamin 1/4 RAW Omina 1 RAW MICROBES Grow Stage 1/8 RAW ENZYMES 1/2 RAW AMINO ACIDS 2 tbls Epsom Salt Soil Test for ph: 1:1 Soil to distilled water. 30 second slurry mix. Let settle for 3 hours. Strain and read ph meter. Result 6.5 soil ph. (Best result wait 24 hours) New Grower Tip: When preparing soil for final containers. 1. Fill bottom of container so transplanting β€œfrom container” is level with top of your "to container" watering line. 2. Fill around transplanted container, to top of final container. 3. Tamp final container twice. (Loose enough for easy drainage.) Second Soil Amendment Week 4 Day 6. Tea Mix per Gallon: 30 ml Big Bloom 1/8 tsp Nitrogen 1/8 tsp Potassium 1/16 tsp Phosphorus. Plants pruned of cotyledon and bottom two sets of fan leaves, after transplanting into 5-gallon bags Root ball and new soil were all damp at transplant. Then given a liter each of water to bind the soils. Finally, after messing with climate whole last grow, I have the Terraform 7 under control. Set to AUTO, fan speed 2 and temp setting at 77Β° F. Unit remains on 24/7. Temperature off at 76Β° F. and on at 77Β° F. Will increase up to 79Β° F, sun intensity dependent. Unless you are growing in a thick concrete bunker and to a lesser extent basement, the sun's energy effects the dwelling you are growing in. In Auto Mode the unit expels a lot less condensation. Once a day removal, instead of multiple times.

NoVC01 8/24/2025 Week 6 Day 2 Feed @ Week 2 of Grow Stage Schedule. Rate 1/2 gallon (1.9 Liter) each. Cal-mag introduced. Week 5 Day 6 all plants topped (4 nodes from cotyledon blade up, 8 branches) and some fan leaves removed. Week 6 Day 1 remaining plants defoliated of fans. There is enough green for photosynthesis. Week 6 Day 2 plants seem happy and not effected by the stress. The cal-mag and exposure to light should green up the new growth. Growth stage is now extended. LST for an unconventional mainline is planned and grow tips topped for two. (12 colas max) I MAY NOT COMPLETE THIS GROW! A much-needed vacation is planned when the outdoor is harvested in early October. The route I just took may not coincide with the outside. Or I grow bonsais, hope for a male and produce seed.

NoVC01 9/7/2025 Week 8 Day 2 (30 days of growth stage) Controller, Climate, Feeding as pictured. Water/Feeding @ Β½ gallon (1.9 L) once each per week 2 Males now identified. Bibs placed under both plants to catch pollen First identified Male depositing a good amount of pollen on leaf below the flower. (Reason for bib) Hopefully will collect enough pollen to pollenate the world. Still, I may grow them out. Have eye on one plant as possible female for pollination (pictured). Has the exact structure I'm looking for.

NoVC01 12/23/25 Part Two - photos in order of comment Two phenos Afghan Leaning and BB#3 Leaning. 😍Says Moochie. Old habits . . . ya can never have enough seeds. So, we harvest 194 grams F2 regular seeds stored by plant. With 11 seed drops sprouted from the bags. And then she goes on a rant about the boogeyman trying to eradicate landrace, wild if you ever find it and all the dilution from overbreeding. Call it myth or assumption but to us it's real. Call us canna-preppers . 12/13/25 25-2 Garden - No other garden I've grown can compare to this one. ABSOLUTE WORST 😑 Sorry to present my skills to the group with this one. Pictures are in order of comments Chocolope Garden '23-'24 - Shot for distraction from garden at hand. This week I been tokin' the last of that garden. What an honest smoke it was. SWAMPY KIND! I was gifted three strains that got pollinated by a sneaky male Afghan landrace several years ago. The first I grew are at F4 and are just a wonderful plant. These plants are Bruce Banner #3 (female) x Afghan (male). Two Males. One started flowering 40 days in. Pollen Factory. Other was a week behind. Collected about 10ml pollen from each. Garden was open pollinated. And Mooch painted all the grow tips three weeks into flower. Same day I chopped both males and shook them over the garden. These seeds came from an Afghan leaning plant and was closest to a male. Bushy, tight internode spacing, heavy leaf structure (Afghan Leaning) Leafy, looser internode spacing, much branching (Bruce Banner #3 Leaning) Harvest - 20 full weeks/Climate Planted in July. Was supposed to be a quick in-out to coincide with the outdoor harvest and a bonus would be seeds. Choose NPK RAW nutrient line. Sometime early growth stage fans started yellowing with brown spots. Three different searches said "manganese". Wasted several weeks watching them get worse before taking action. Flushed them and the tent filled with a horrible stench. Had to flush twice. Blamed the problem on the NPK RAW and think it's too intense for 5 gallon grow bags. Went back to FoxFarm. Accepted manganese issue. Tried foliar with Mg - fer git about it! Had to wait to get manganese for soil. Took two feedings before plants started reacting. Was pruning yellow leaf into flower. (excess iron in well water is suspect - didn't change filters this year). I should have pulled this garden. But no, I gotta bring them back. So, I did and they looked good. Then inspecting the plants they were covered with aphids (wtf I have never had any bugs indoor). Took two foliars of AzaMax to get rid of them. By the time it came to pollination the plants were in senescence and back to yellowing and looking ragged. All the stress stunted these plants badly. A garden full of bonsais. The goddamn grow is over and into the drying rack before final seed collection. I have separated seeds by plant (took a garden pic so I know which is which). I have enough sprouts in the soil to replant and grow out (F3) Hoping I can finish before time to start my outdoor '26 in the tent. YEA I GOT SEED!

Did you finish this one?

@UnorthadoxDude, have collected pollen from two males and some early but mature seeds. Painting flowers Saturday. Worst grow ever. Many issues. Seeds are the sole purpose of the grow.

@NoVC01, interesting. At least it can be a nice breeding experiment!

@UnorthadoxDude, the 7 females were painted with pollen a week ago. Four weeks to harvest. Next indoor will be those F2s. Storing seeds from each plant individually w/photo. Two phenotypes one sativa hybrid like and other indica like. Stack nice, frosting well, just stunted from the environmental issues. Will 'plain at harvest . . .
