Slurricane

SolitudeCorners Hey everyone. I'm getting ready to flip to flower on this new crop. The past period has been full of challenges — I've been working away from home and could only check on the room two or three days a week. The distance and the constant back-and-forth drained me more than I expected, and because I couldn't set everything up properly, I ended up missing too many things. The previous crop failed completely. The stress from that, on top of everything else going on in my personal life, brought me to a very dark place — I actually attempted to end my life, but I'm fortunate to still be here. This crop feels like a fresh start. Growing cannabis is still something I want to build into a livelihood, but beyond that, I genuinely enjoy the hunt for new phenotypes and chasing those standout traits. More than anything though, the most important thing I've come back to is this: enjoy growing. To everyone who has stuck around and kept cheering me on — thank you. I mean that more than I can say. If you've been with me from the beginning, you already know I've never stopped trying to learn and improve. I hope you all have a wonderful day. 🌿

SolitudeCorners Veg Week2 Plants: Clone batch in trays — vigor good, roots not fully through blocks yet. Mother canopy dense, lower leaves yellowing from light block. Feed Athena Next Transplant into Hugo Block

SolitudeCorners Room’s getting tight. Canopy filling in nicely compared to last week — roots are finally running on most plants and you can see it in the growth rate. The ones that rooted early are already stacking nodes and pushing branches low, looking bushy and healthy. Dark green, vigorous, exactly what you want to see at week 3. Pulled a few of the slow ones out to make room. No point babysitting plants that aren’t committing. Pheno differences are getting real obvious now. Got some that are just locked in — tight internodes, deep color, branching on their own. Then got others showing pale/light green at the new growth, and a couple stretching more than I’d like with wide node spacing. Not stressing yet, could just be roots still catching up, but I’m giving them one more week before I make any decisions. Humidity’s creeping up as the room fills — need to stay on top of airflow before it becomes a problem.

SolitudeCorners 📓 Cultivation Diary: The 12/12 Flip & Transition Week 📅 June 5, 2026 (Veg Day 17) Irrigation/Reservoir: Prepared a full 100L reservoir refresh. Nutrients: Kept the feeding aggressive with a double dose of vegetative nutrition (x2 Nutrient formula) to ensure the root zones and plant tissues are fully stocked with elements before the transition. Canopy Observation:the canopy is thick, uniform, and fully occupying the table space. The trellis net is officially filled out, and the lower branches are strong and rigid. 📅 June 6, 2026 (Day 1 of Flower / Bloom Week 1) The Flip: Officially switched the timers to a 12/12 photoperiod (Lights ON at 6:00 PM / Lights OFF at 6:00 AM). Schedule: First irrigation shot triggers exactly 1 hour after lights on (7:00 PM), followed by a shot every 1.5 hours. Volume: Configured the drip stakes to run for 1 minute per shot, delivering 5 shots total per day. This provides roughly 450ml per plant per day, creating excellent target dry-backs overnight to force vigorous root searching. 📅 June 11, 2026 (Day 6 of Flower / Bloom Week 1) Irrigation/Reservoir: Bumped reservoir capacity up to 110–120L to keep up with increased transpiration as the plants begin their post-flip stretch. Nutrient Recipe (TargetingpH 6.0 EC 2.5 Water: 110–120L Athena Cleanse: 120ml Silica: 220ml (Essential for stem strength during the stretch) CalMag: 10ml Athena Bloom: 600ml (Adjusting base to target 1.2–1.3 EC from Bloom component) Athena Core: 400ml Irrigation Adjustments: Increased the shot duration slightly to 1 minute and 15 seconds to match the accelerating growth pace. The early flowering stretch has officially begun. The tops are noticeably pushing past the trellis net layers, and the node spacing remains tight and stacked. Leaf color is an excellent dark green with healthy, bright yellow-green shoots driving upward at the growth tips. No signs of stress or stalling from the schedule shift.
