Winter 2025/2026

MASE99 All seedlings were overwatered. 20 autoflower grows in and I finally felt what it's like to overwaterer. Temperature is low growing in basement outside temp of tent 55 degrees inside is holding 64 degrees f. Keeping lights on 24 hours so temp stays stable. Cannot raise light anymore running each light at 25% to maintain 380 ppfd which is too high but any lower and Temperature drops. Each pot has a column of light soil, soil is too light, realized day 4 after germination. Had to add a light nute mix of fox farm boomerang, lotus grow, and rooted leaf cal mag to jump start back to life after I noticed my mistake of lack of nutes and overwaterering. Risky but nessesary. Might but early enough not to trigger flower but I definitely made my worst start yet. Don't mind showing my failures it it helps anyone.

MASE99 Lost 2 seedlings. Pineapple express and one Peach crescendo died due to over watering. Purple Lemonade is growing strong. 2 Apricots doing well. Peach Crescendo survivor recovered. Starting this week I will start leaf tucking 2 times a day to get some light to bottom 2 sets of branches on each plant. Watered with a light dose of Lotus nutrients cal-mag with 4-0-0 dose of 1/4 tsp. Per gallon of water and each plant getting 1/4 gallon of solution each. The 2 dead seedlings have been replaced with Fastbuds Cheese and Fastbuds Lemon Cherry Cookies and they will be documented in a separate diary since they are 2 weeks behind.

MASE99 Week 3. Tucked leaves twice a day for the week. Today started process of using 12 inches landscape staples to pin branches out and lite defoliation trimmed 2 leaves off each plant above the sites that were getting blocked by fan leaves. Light bottom and top feed of Rooted Leaf Cal-Mag 5ml per gallon of water.

MASE99 Leaf tucked, trimmed top sugar leaves blocking bud sites. 12 inch landscape staples to pin lower branches to the outside. All plants showed pistils today and branches. Heavy watered after plants showing signs of nitrogen tox from dry down and increase in light intensity. Plants receiving 600 ppfd 24 hours now. New York weather came in at -15 wind chill outside basement hit 45 degrees, uping light maintains 68 degrees, damn it sucks cause stunting is there with root zone not happy at 60 degrees. Added a microbiology brew with warm water, mycos, recharge, and molasses. Brew 12 hours with air stone in 1 gallon jug. High dose 1/4 cup mycos, 1 Tbs Recharge, 1 Tbs molasses. STRETCH THIS WEEK... LETS GO!!@

MASE99 Flowering started on Apricot first 32 days after germination. Peach Crescendo and Purple Lemonade day 40. Peach crescendo and Apricot directly under the Mars Sp350 showing signs of nutrient burn and light burn as they are drinking more water, pots drying out causing ppm to spike a little. Apricot and Purple lemonade under the smaller lights showing Calcium and Magnesium deficiency. 7 gallon containers drying out every 2 days now. Each container get about a gallon of water every 2 days now. Adjusted branches and bent them out to the sides again today and defoliation on any buds sites that were covered. Lower 1/4 of plants cleaned of any leaves or branches not receiving light. Pots were really dry today and containers were light. Pushing in landscape staples could really feel how crispy this dry down day was. Tomorrow may do an additional water addition with sprayer and light bottom watering. Water only on the ones showing burnt tips and nute burn. 2 plants with Cal-mag issues got watered with rooted leaf cal-mag and bloom nutrients hoping to balance out pH and balance the soil a little as it was leaning nitrogen heavy.

MASE99 Tough week. Temperatures are hard to maintain with outdoor temps at -20 degrees F. Basement temp 48 degrees. Lights are turned up to maintain 64 degrees all day. This is causing issues with DLI above 65. Like to target 45-50 DLI normally. All plants showing light stress and yellowing leaves. Ppfd on plant tops ranging 800-1000 running 24 hours. This is bad news but I did not want soil cooling down and cause stunting to bud growth. Watered with Lotus nutes calmag, bloom and boost. Trimmed some leaves and lower sites not getting light. Rearranged pots since I have 2 other plants 2 weeks behind that will need training over next few weeks. Apricot showing good bud development. Purple lemonade starting to get purple showing on calixes. Peach Crescendo has long internode spacing but bud development shows good potential. This week I will lower light settings once weather warms up.
