FireGreenBud Week 1 Throughout the week I got the light closer to 12 inches from the canopy and go from 20% to 40% power. I also slowly increase the daily watering amount as needed. By the end of the week adding a small amount of superthrive to the water. These seeds seem more viable than my last grow, different breeder. No damping, the seedlings mostly broke free from the shell by themselves, and decent day 1 growth. Overall growing much more quickly. Slower growth from 9/14-16 based on environment. I am still dialing in my lighting situation for seedlings. I think I removed the dome too early and the plants were establishing under the LED. As well as a heat wave for a few days. Which is why I removed the dome. Next grow I will sort out some of these issues. Temps and humidy will be easy to manage into winter. I will put them in the final pots in the morning and make a resevouir to start the feeding schedule. day 1 9/12 put seeds in starter cubes 10 PM day 1 9/13 Calling this day 1 of the week 1-2mL RO water day 2 9/14 1-2mL RO water day 3 9/15 2-3mL RO water day 4 9/16 3mL RO water day 5 9/17 5-8mL 400 EC - superthrive day 6 9/18 5-8mL RO water - I don't think they liked superthrive or the light is too close. A little burning on the tips. day 7 9/19 8-10mL of RO water - some leaf twisting - Have noticed this on last strain and lot of other random diaries I am going to just assume it's nothing or from nutes.

FireGreenBud week 2 Throughout the week I slowly increase the feeding frequency. Flooding 1 time a day to as close to once every hour as I can get. On 9/23 I noticed more burning developing on the leaves. I don't think I cleaned the rocks enough. I think they needed one more 24 hour soak to remove the sodium bicarbonate. Increasing the flooding to every hour made the plants looks much better. I did a good flush with clearex on 9/26, pouring water from above as well. I kept the clearex solution in the reservoir until lunch and did another long flush. Then swapped for the week 2 nutrient solution. They are looking much better and more perky. With a nice shade of green developing. This weeks nutrient feeding is based on the light application of the Floranova feeding chart. Side note: My menards bucket pots didn't work as well as I thought. Cheaper than anything but for some reason the ebb and flow fittings are not sealing. They now drip every feeding, through the threads it appears. I could have fixed it with hot glue or rubber. I just decided to modify my table design for the buckets. So now the table will be an enclosure for the reservoir. The buckets can drip all they want. I am just going back to a flood table the next grow. I just want to go back to basics and get a couple pounds of good smoke. This is getting too complicated. I can have 4 flowering plants so 8 inch net pots will be fine. day 8 9/20 I put the plants in the pots with rocks. Just RO water from the reservoir. They definitely need nutrients soon. day 9 9/21 Still RO water. I will make a new reservoir for the morning with the first week of the light nutrient feeding schedule from Floranova. day 10 9/22 3 floods today 380 EC - They seem to have established today and are growing faster. Monitoring the wetness of the plug. day 11 9/23 Seeing burning developing. The EC was only 380, I think the rocks are not clean enough. day 12 9/24 Part of it was from under watering. Roots need the consistent wet rocks to expand, makes sense. Increased feeding to once/hour. day 13 9/25 Plants are looking better with flooding every hour. Flooding regularly is leeching the salt from the rocks. day 14 9/26 Started the morning with a good 5 min clearex flush. Pouring water from above as well. Will swap for nutrient solution around lunch.

FireGreenBud week 3 Topped after the fifth node, at the end of the week. Removed the bottom two nodes. The little one is definitely a different phenotype and not just a runt. Red stems on the leaves and some red on the stalks of both plants. Probably from the sodium bicarbonate toxicity. They could probably also use a higher EC. I don't think the salt has fully leeched, so I am not going to push it. They are growing well and should be ready for flowering a few days late at most. This weeks reservoir is just the peak week 1 nutrients, to not cause further problems. day 15 9/27 The EC started at 700 and dropped to about 650. day 16 9/28 Increased feeding time to 2 minutes every hour. EC back to 700. day 17 9/29 day 18 9/30 The bigger plant looks a little droopy. Increased feeding to 3 minutes every hour. Ph is not drifting much anymore. day 19 10/1 They big one might need another minute added to feeding. The little one is thriving. day 20 10/2 Topping after the 5th node and removed bottom nodes on the big plant. I will remove the bottom nodes on the little plant in a day. day 21 10/3 Flushed 10 minutes with clearex in the morning. Made a new res, 21.5ml in 5 gallons ph at 5.8 ph. Increased flooding to 5 min/hour
