TREDDAH Sup! Thanks to anyone taking the time to read this diary of a noob.
I have done much research to lead me here, but none the less, I’m very much feeling my way along with this grow - so I’m keeping it clean and simple.
Medium - Biobizz Light Mix, nothing else except water.
I’ve used spring water that’s been treated for a slightly high PH, and then treated again for a slightly low PH 😂, hence the colour. Going to possibly switch to RO water soon... I’ve actually ordered some CalMag
Sitting pretty at 6.3ph.
Temp sitting at 24c.
VPD generally around 0.80
Humidity around 70%
Let’s go!
Ps, WCOG is the smaller lighter coloured sprout. The cherry Zoap is the beautiful emerald green sprout. Lovely shade.
** Thanks to Dennys in the comments.
The light was on 50% at 60cm, which it seems was causing some reaching.
Now lowered to 35cm at 50% (18/6)
Top man 🍻

TREDDAH Goodness me. What a week. Been battling a heat wave of 33c.
Not sure how the plants have survived. Albeit, 1 is clinging on.
Not sure why one of the plants is so lame! It hasn’t had any nutes, and has had exactly the same as the other.
Not over watered.
Not over fed.
PH balanced.
Weird.
It came out of the seed like this.
Any how. I’ll keep it there for a while since it seems to be turning a nice shade of green and I have no idea what to expect with that.
Should I rip it out and pop another?
With the temps being how they are this week - I’ve flipped the light schedule.
We’re now coming on in the night to keep temps low.
On at 5pm and then off again by 10am.
I REFUSE to buy an AC unit.
All perimeters have been logged that I can.
Working away from home next week for 3 days, so let’s hope we get through it.
See y’all on the other side 😅

TREDDAH Much easier week this week. Temps and humidity stabilised after the 33c heatwave.
Still got the spaz seed doing its thing sadly.
But, when I rub it - it stinks of resin already?
The other healthy plant - when you put your nose to the centre new growth, it stinks of high grade. It’s not budding. Not sure how that works. Must be a good sign though.
Started a light feed of bio grow this last week.
It’s not recommend to start till this week, but with the zoap looking so damn healthy, I thought I’d try my luck and it seems to have paid off. It’s growing so fast now.
I’ll be looking to start some low stress training of the healthy zoap early next week.
I’m going to experiment with the other little
freak of a plant that is West Coast OG Kush Automatic. Not sure how. But it won’t be pretty.
I’m not really sure what else to add to the journal at this point.
It’s wet and forget time!
Any advice always welcome.
Also, light increased to 55% from 50% and will bump up to 60 in the next couple of days and see what happens.
Loving it.

TREDDAH A good week.
I pretty much started to low stress training the day after posting week 2 veg.
No change to report other than that.
I increased the bio grow by 1ml per L, bring a total of 2ml pL and 2 waterings for the week.
Light increased to 60% and raised very slightly.
The other west coast OG isn’t really impressing me.
Wish I had of ripped it out earlier at this point.
That’s a lesson learned right there.
Also, another lesson I’ve learned is I’ve not filled the pots up close enough to the brim - that’s been irritating me a bit this week with training.
I’ve also made the executive decision I’m going to top my next plants.
As soon as this one is done I’ll be popping 2 more straight in.
Thanks for checking out my failing WCOG and my beautiful cherry zoap.
I have high hopes for the zoap. I literally go to the ends of the earth to make sure that thing is in its happy place.
Better pay off
Advice is cherished.
All the best till next week.
Probs be a lot bigger then

TREDDAH Fair easy week really. Been a bit warm but nothing to stress about.
Starting to see some hairy armpits on the girls now, even on the weirdo Kush. Perhaps not ripping it out wasn’t a bad thing after all! Might get a bit of product off it.
Probably be some weird looking bud if it does.
I’ll be adding another litre of water this evening after posting this update following the Biobizz recommended nutrient guide.
Not a single blemish on the Zoap.
So yeah, happy days. Looking forward to seeing the bloom increase over the next few weeks.
This is the exciting bit I’ve been waiting for.
Any advice always welcome.
Cheers 🍻

TREDDAH Growth and pistils.
Sounds like some old western horror movie, but no!
The plant is accelerating and I assume is now starting its stretch.
Remember this my first proper grow.
I water the plants 2 times this week. The first watering had nutrients at the recommended concentrations and was 1 litre. 24hrs after watering I noticed a finger tip on one of the fan leaves has burnt.
I then looked closely and thought I could see the entire plant about to turn because there was literally a micro piece of burn on all the tips. Literally so small it may even be normal.
You won’t see it on the photos - but I saw it along with the one tip that 100% was starting to burn.
I sat back and watched closely and nothing further happened for a couple of days or so.
Another nice little lesson right there.
The second watering about 4 days later I used half the bio grow and bio bloom in 2 litres for each plant, and alls cool.
I’ll crack on with the normal concentrations for the next watering.
Feels like I’m riding that nutrient limit a bit, and I like it. Getting a feel for it. Reading the plant. I’ll name them next.
Heat wave this week of 30c plus. It’s that hot there isn’t any avoiding it this time. So the weeds had batter get their shades on.
I’ll probably drop the light power if I dwell on it enough to 60% from 80% if it goes much over 30.
So steady progress all in all.
Oh, and the freak Kush looks like It’s coming around and actually making leaves that look like the right shape etc.
There’s some signs of flowering but it’s not putting pistils out anything like the zoap is. Uh, so excited to see what my first run comes up with.
Chow for now.
Advice always welcome.

Hi! Looking a good start: U can lower ur light more close to the plant u can see its streching towards the light. 30-40 cm from the plant should be okay. :)
