Redweasel 5/6/26 at 5pm Four feminized seeds placed in 4 inch black plastic garden pots filled with build a soil Heady Start, drenched to field capacity with a solution of plain 6.0ph 44ppm reservoir water, a pinch of recharge & half strength aloe powder. Garden pots were then placed in the ACI XL Clone Dome, under lights at level 2, 18/6, Vents closed, temp 78°F, heat mat set at 78°F with probe placed in dummy pot filled to the same capacity inside dome. Humidity 99%, will open vents when seeds pop. We will choose the two most similar in structure & transplant on 5/23. The other remaining plants will be gifted to a local DGC member. Paloma Go-Time Days 1-2 5/9/26 All four seeds surfaced within a few hours of each other. Vents open. Soil temp 78°F, Air temp 74°F, Humidity 72%. 5/10/26 Lights raised to level 4 Inside Temp 74°F Soil Temp 78°F Humidity 73% Paloma Go-Time Seedling Up-Pot 5/16/26 Transplanted seedlings from the small starter pots to solo cups, clear inside cup with drainage inserted into opaque cup with drainage, using Heady Start as a media. Watered in for the first time back to field capacity with plain 6.0 reservoir water mixed with 1/4 strength coconut water powder & aloe powder with a tiny pinch of Recharge. Adjusted light intensity from 10/10 to 6/10 to keep DLI at 23. Humidity 72%, Air Temp 78°F, Soil Temp 78°F. Photographs were talen directly after transplant. I expect them to straighten out now that DLI is managed. I’ll be monitoring throughout the day.

Redweasel Paloma Go-Time Transplant to Forever Home Start the clock! 5/23/26 7am Tent Entry-1 hour Week Total-1 hour Veg Total-1 hour Selected the two seedlings that seemed to have the most similar structure & transplanted into 7 gallon Grassroots Living Soil containers filled with reclaimed & reamended soil from the Paloma Night grow. Root balls dusted with Mycos & Azos. Bottom 2 inches of each pot filled with reclaimed & reamended coco coir heavy media blend. When I dumped the containers last week to reclaim I noticed some compaction at the bottom of the containers, hopefully the coco heavy mix will resolve that issue. Top dresses each container with a mix of 2 cups vermicimpost, 1/4 cup each of Kashi Gold & Craft Blend, & 2 tbsp of Kiss My Frass. Top dress capped with reamended coco coir heavy media blend mixed with 1/4 cup BAS cover crop per plant. Hand watered each container starting at the outside perimeter with 1 gallon plain 6.5ph/40ppm reservoir water mixed with 1 tsp each coconut water powder & aloe powder, 1/2 tsp each quillaja powder & recharge, & 3/4 tbsp Azos. Blue supplemental lighting synced to main LED from 7am-1am. Deep Red/IR supplemental lighting set to run 15 minutes before lights on & 15 minutes after lights off. Oscillating fans placed on opposite upper corners facing towards plants & set on dynamic range. Exterior inline exhaust fan & carbon filter set to speed 3/10. DLI-21 VPD Target-0.60 with a 0.20 buffer -Expression #1- Height-4″ Width-8″×4.5″ Canopy to LED-14″ -Expression #2- Height-4″ Width-8″×4.5″ Canopy to LED-14″

Redweasel 5/30/26 7am Tent Entry-5 minutes Week Total-5 minutes Veg Total-1 hour 5 minutes Moved the plant that suffered from root damage at transplant to the left side of the tent to be closer to the video camera for improved monitoring. In video shots closest to the camera will be referred as Expression #1, & will be the left cultivar in photographs. Expression #1 looks to be fully recovered from half the root-ball detaching during transplant. Will reassess training schedule on 6/9 after the DGC Cup. Hand watered each container with 1 gallon of 28ppm 6.5ph plain reservoir water mixed with 1 tsp each of coconut water powder & aloe powder, 1/2 tsp quillaja powder, & 3/4 tbsp of Azos. Tray2Grow stays inactive. -EXPRESSION #1- -Last Week- Height-4" Width-8"×4.5" DLI-18 -This Week- Height-6.5" Width-10"×8" DLI-20 -EXPRESSION #2- -Last Week- Height-4 Width-8"×4.5" DLI-18 -This Week- Height-7. 5" Width-12"×10" DLI-23 VPD Target Remains at 0.60

Redweasel 6/4/26 7am Well, looks like both plants get their chance to recover from poor execution on my part at a critical juncture. This grow has now become a lesson on the resiliency of these plants & how to overcome seemingly major mistakes. In my overconfidence I partially snapped one of the two main branches on Expression #2. I immediately grafted it back together with a strip of micropore tape & completed my bends. I'll remove the tape once the branch recovers, & I have full confidence it will, & with my system I have full confidence in leaving four days to go to the DGC Cup. A lesson for me to slow down. Tent Entry-25 minutes Week Entry-25 minutes Veg Total-1 hour 30 minutes Topped each branch above the 3rd node removing all fans & everything below. Pinching both trunk stems just below the remaining branches. Installed bud clips to trunk stems & remaining branches to spread out 90°. Removed plant material was then salad chopped, integrated into the cover crop of its respective container, & dusted with 2 tbsp each of Kashi Gold & Kiss my Frass. Each container hand water with 2 gallons of 6.5ph 28ppm plain reservoir water mixed with 2 tsp each of coconut water powder & aloe powder, 1.5 tbsp Azos, & 1 tsp quillaja powder. Tray2Grow activated. VPD target to remain at 0.70 until recovery complete. -EXPRESSION #1- *Week Prior* Height-6.5" Width-10"×8" DLI-20 *Pre-Jigsaw* Height-11" Width-12"×10" Canopy to LED-11" DLI-30 *Post-Jigsaw* Height-4.5" Width-5" Canopy to LED-14" DLI-22 -EXPRESSION #2- *Week Prior* Height-7.5" Width-12"×10" DLI-23 *Pre-Dismemberment* Height-12" Width-15"×12" Canopy to LED-9" DLI-36 *Post-Dismemberment* Height-4.5" Width-10" Canopy to LED-14" DLI-22

Redweasel Monitoring the video feed while I was at the DGC Growers Festival I noticed one, Expression #2 did not recover from its branch snap & #1 is severely behind where it should be. Rather than attempt to recover & adjust my original plans, I’ve decided to cull & begin again. Luckily for me @macgrows the DGC member I donated the other two seedlings to had not planted them yet & was able to take some clones from the top of each seedling for himself, & returned them back to me! This will allow me to keep my current cover crop & worm population relatively undisturbed, & should only lose me a small amount of time rather than a month. This community is so freaking amazing! I hope to meet some more local KC DGC in the future & expand my network. 6/9/26 8am Tent Entry-15 minutes Week Total-15 minutes Veg Total-1 hour 45 minutes Dusted both entry points & root-balls of each seedling with Mycos & Azos, then carefully removed both from their respective Solo cups & transplanted seamlessly into pre-molded cavities. Hand watered each container with 1 gallon 7.0ph 29ppm plain reservoir water mixed with 1 tsp each of coconut water powder & aloe powder mixed with 3/4 tbsp Azos & 1/2 tsp each of quillaja powder & Recharge. VPD target remains at 0.70 -EXPRESSION #1- Height-7″ Width-14″×11″ Canopy to LED-12″ DLI-20 -EXPRESSION #2- Height-8″ Width-15″×12″ Canopy to LED-11″ DLI-22 With the seedling swap & early establishment, the branches I want to mainline are not long enough to bend, & the main is outpacing branches in diameter. That being said, I'm going to cut down to mains now to redirect all energy into getting them established. 6/13/26 7am Tent Entry-15 minutes Week Total-15 minutes Veg Total-2hrs Top dress mix worked into cover crop of each container with 1/4 cup Craft Blend, 2 tbsp Kiss my Frass, & 1 cup vermicimpost. Chop & dropped cover crop, lanky fan leaves, & anything below node four, leaving only the two branches below the initial cut made from when clones were originally taken. No need to top again, we will work with what we have. Bends will wait until new mains are of appropriate length. Pinched both main trunk stems along entire length until crack felt in the inner membrane. Chop & dropped plant material in each container sprinkled with 1/4 cup Kashi Gold then capped with 4 cups reclaimed coco coir heavy media. Reclaimed straw mulch from Paloma Night run added to each container. Each container hand watered with 1/2 gallon 6.5 ph 28ppm plain reservoir water mixed with 1/2 tsp each aloe powder & coconut water powder, 1/4 tsp quillaja powder, & 1 1/4 tsp Azos. Tray2Grow reactivated. VPD Target remains at 0.70 this week. -EXPRESSION #1- *Week Prior* Height-7" Width-14" ×11" Canopy to LED-12" DLI-20 *Current* Height-7" Width-4" Canopy to LED-12" DLI-22 -EXPRESSION #2- *Week Prior* Height-8" Width-15"×12" Canopy to LED-11" DLI-22 *Current* Height-7" Width-4" Canopy to LED-12" DLI-22

Redweasel 6/17/26 5pm Bud Clips applied to both plants. No data or other adjustments made. Tent entry 5 minutes. The meme is the cover of Radiohead's The Bends album. Paloma Go-Time "Gull-Wing" Initiation I've had this idea for a training technique in my head for a while. It's hard to explain, but I want to create a gull-wing shape with my mains instead of topping again a second time. I'll have to explain as I go with this one because it could get tricky. Today's maintenance was extremely stressful & delicate due to stem lignification at Wednesdays bend sites. The gamble with running only two mains at this stage is the possibility of a catastrophic stem snap during training. 6/20/26 7am Tent Entry-25 minutes Week Total-30 minutes Veg Total-2hrs 30 minutes Placed bud clips on each main branch excising the nodes facing downward & fans facing directly upwards after the bends. I had to be extremely careful here slowly working each branch back & forth until they were flexible enough for clips due to lignification beginning at prior bends. Hand watered each container with 2 gallons of plain 6.5ph 30ppm reservoir water mixed with 2 tsp each coconut water powder, aloe powder, & 1 tsp quillaja powder. VPD target raised to 0.80 -EXPRESSION #1- *Week Prior* Height-7" Width-4" Canopy to LED-12" DLI-22 *Current Week* Height-8" Width-12" Canopy to LED-14" DLI-28 -EXPRESSION #2- *Week Prior* Height-7" Width-4" Canopy to LED-12" DLI-22 *Current Week* Height-8" Width-12" Canopy to LED-14" DLI-28 40 gallons of reservoir water have been used. Topping off today with RO filtered water from the tap.
