Stoney_Stark Day 1 — Germination & Planting Strain: Sticky Mango Auto Breeder: Tastebudz Genetics Lifecycle: 8–10 weeks (seed → harvest) Date: 1/10 Plants: 2 Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms ⸻ Medium & Containers • Medium: Scientetics Coco • Pots: 2-gallon fabric • Seeds planted directly into final containers to avoid transplant stress (autoflower). ⸻ Lighting • Fixture: Vivosun AeroLight Wing AW200SE (200W) • Stage: Pre-emergence / Seedling • Light intensity kept low to prevent early stretch and root stress (PPFD intentionally minimal at this stage). ⸻ Initial Watering / Inoculation Each pot was evenly moistened with ¼ gallon of solution. • pH: 5.8 Additives (per gallon, light inoculation) • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic Improves nutrient chelation and uptake, helping establish early root efficiency in coco. • 4 ml Fish Sh!t Introduces beneficial microbes that assist with nutrient cycling and root-zone health. • 4 ml Pure Zym Enzymes break down dead root matter and organic residues, keeping the coco clean and oxygenated. • ½ tsp Recharge Mycorrhizae and beneficial bacteria to jump-start microbial life and root colonization. ⸻ Notes • Medium was lightly sprayed rather than fully saturated to maintain oxygen availability around the seed zone. • No base nutrients used at this stage; coco contains sufficient moisture for germination, and additives focus on biological activity rather than feeding. • Environment will be monitored closely for emergence before increasing light intensity or irrigation volume.

Stoney_Stark Week 1 Update — Sticky Mango Auto Stage: Seedling Grow Space: Closet Grow Light: Vivosun AeroLight AW200SE ⸻ Growth Overview Week 1 started strong with both Sticky Mango Auto seedlings fully emerging from their seeds. Establishment looks excellent so far—uniform emergence, healthy cotyledons, and no signs of stress. Plants are off to a clean, vigorous start. ⸻ Environment • Day Temperature: 77°F • Night Temperature: 70°F • Humidity: 80% RH High humidity is being maintained to support seedling transpiration and early root development. ⸻ Feeding & Watering Log 1/14 — Emergence & First Feeding • Water Volume: ¼ gallon RO per plant • pH: 5.8 • PPM: 340 Nutrients (per gallon): • Armor Si: 0.5 ml • Rapid Start: 1 ml • Micro: 2 ml • Grow: 1 ml • Bloom: 1 ml • CaliMagic: 1 ml • Floralicious Plus: 0.5 ml • Fish Sh!t: 4 ml • Photo+: 6 ml ⸻ Nutrient Strategy Notes • Armor Si: Strengthens cell walls and improves early stress resistance • Rapid Start: Encourages fast root initiation and early root branching • Micro: Provides essential micronutrients and baseline nitrogen • Grow: Supports early vegetative development • Bloom: Supplies phosphorus for root and early metabolic activity • CaliMagic: Prevents early calcium and magnesium deficiencies common in coco • Floralicious Plus: Enhances nutrient uptake and root-zone activity • Fish Sh!t: Introduces beneficial microbes for root health • Photo+: Increases photosynthetic efficiency even at low seedling light levels ⸻ Overall Assessment Both plants are healthy, well-established, and responding perfectly to their first feeding. Environment and nutrient strength are well-matched for the seedling stage. No signs of overfeeding, stretch, or stress observed.

Stoney_Stark WEEK 2 UPDATE — Sticky Mango Auto Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Stage: Early Veg Medium: Coco Water Source: RO ⸻ Environment & Light • Humidity: Lowered to 65% on 1/18 • PPFD Range: 215–260 µmol/m²/s • Notes: PPFD is being ramped gradually through the week to avoid early stress and encourage steady vegetative growth. Reflective background added on 1/19 to improve light efficiency and canopy uniformity. ⸻ Watering & Feeding Log 1/18 — Feed • Volume: 1 gallon mixed | 500 ml per plant • pH: 5.7 • PPM: 640 Nutrients (per gallon): • Armor Si: 1 ml • CaliMagic: 1 ml • Micro: 4 ml • Grow: 3 ml • Bloom: 1 ml • Rapid Start: 1 ml • Floralicious Plus: 1 ml • Ruby Fulvic: 5 ml • Photo+: 5 ml Notes: Strong early veg feed to support structure, root development, and micronutrient availability. ⸻ 1/19 — Feed • Volume: ¼ gallon per plant • pH: 5.8 Nutrients (per gallon): • Armor Si: 1 ml • CaliMagic: 1 ml • Micro: 4 ml • Grow: 3 ml • Bloom: 1 ml • Rapid Start: 1 ml • Floralicious Plus: 1 ml • Ruby Fulvic: 5 ml • Photo+: 5 ml Notes: Reflective background installed. PPFD adjusted down slightly to 215 after reflection increase to maintain optimal DLI. ⸻ 1/20 — Feed • Volume: 800 ml per plant • pH: 5.8 • PPM: 560 Nutrients (per gallon): • Armor Si: 1 ml • CaliMagic: 1 ml • Micro: 4 ml • Grow: 3 ml • Bloom: 1 ml • Rapid Start: 1 ml • Floralicious Plus: 1 ml • Ruby Fulvic: 5 ml • Photo+: 5 ml • Recharge: ⅛ tsp Notes: Recharge added to re-inoculate beneficial microbes and support rhizosphere activity in coco. ⸻ 1/22 — Feed • Volume: ¼ gallon per plant • pH: 5.8 • PPM: 463 Nutrients (per gallon): • Armor Si: 1 ml • CaliMagic: 1 ml • Micro: 4 ml • Grow: 3 ml • Bloom: 1 ml • Rapid Start: 1 ml • Floralicious Plus: 1 ml • Ruby Fulvic: 5 ml Notes: Slightly lighter feed to maintain balance and prevent early EC buildup while plants continue establishing roots. ———— Nutrient Function Breakdown • Armor Si Provides soluble silicon to strengthen cell walls, improve stress resistance, and increase overall plant rigidity. Helps plants handle rising PPFD and environmental fluctuations. • CaliMagic Supplies calcium and magnesium essential for cell division, chlorophyll production, and preventing early coco-related deficiencies. • Micro Primary source of micronutrients (iron, manganese, zinc, copper) along with calcium and nitrogen. Supports enzymatic activity and healthy leaf development. • Grow Nitrogen-forward component that fuels vegetative growth, leaf expansion, and overall plant vigor during early development. • Bloom Adds phosphorus and potassium in low amounts to support early root energy demand and maintain nutrient balance even during vegetative stages. • Rapid Start Stimulates root initiation and lateral root development, helping establish a dense and efficient root system in coco. • Floralicious Plus Provides humic acids, kelp extracts, and bio-stimulants that improve nutrient uptake, enhance metabolic activity, and support overall plant health. • Ruby Fulvic Increases nutrient chelation and transport, improving mineral availability and uptake while supporting stress tolerance and root efficiency. • Photo+ Enhances photosynthetic efficiency and energy transfer, helping plants convert light into usable growth more effectively under increasing PPFD. • Recharge (1/20 only) Inoculates the root zone with beneficial microbes and mycorrhizae, improving nutrient cycling, root health, and overall rhizosphere activity. ⸻ Overall Plant Health • Plants are responding well to feeds and environmental adjustments • No signs of stress or deficiency • Steady growth with healthy leaf color and structure
