Bazooka_ Week 1 — Veg (VG1–VG7):Genetics:
BOG #1 — Bazooka Orange Gum #1
Clone Only | Single Seed Origin
Seedsman freebie (Nicole × Orange Cookies)
Phenotype selected for extreme vigor and exceptional Fanta/orange candy terpene profile
Test-flowered and left to dry out for scent check — intense Fanta/orange soda smell even bone dry
Mother secured in the bank
Clones:
4× from modified Platinum Hydroponics aerocloner — pump and sprayer heads upgraded with custom 3D printed parts
Aerocloner cycle: 1min ON / 10min OFF
First topping in aerocloner after rooting
System:
Self-built HPA | 60×60cm tent | 180cm height
Upgrade from previous grows: 4× 0.2mm ceramic disposable nozzles per container (previously 2× 0.3mm)
Finer droplets, better spatial coverage, less volume per pulse (~5.6ml vs ~6.4ml)
Pressure: 7–9 bar | Cycle: 2s ON / 600s OFF
Tank: 40L outside tent, passively cooled
Light:
Samsung LM301B 3500K DIY panel
APEXstrip 660nm — permanent
APEXstrip 730nm — from flip
APEXstrip UVA 365/385nm — from BT14
CO2: 1200ppm light phase only
PPFD: starting 550 µmol, ramping +100/day
Environment:
Temp: 30°C day / 21–23°C night
RH: 65% day / 60% night
Water: 50/50 RO/tap, hard source water 17.6°dH
Nutrients — First Tank (40L):
Wall-Up S 3–4g (15min wait) → PeKacid 12g → MR1 16ml → Root+ 32ml → AminoXtrem 36ml → GreenXtrem 12ml → Enzyme 10ml → Calgreen 8ml (last)
EC measured: 0.97 | pH: 5.6
Baseline Wall-Up S + PeKacid: 0.47
Plant Status:
10cm after second topping | 4 shoots per plant
Internode spacing 4cm — too long
PPFD raised to 800 µmol to suppress stretch
Target: 2cm internodes expanding to 3–4cm during stretch

Bazooka_ Week 2 — Veg (VG8–VG14):
Nutrient Observations:
EC ramp started — genetics shows extreme hunger
Light green new shoot tips at EC 0.97 despite CO2 1200ppm and 800 µmol
EC ramped: MR1 to 35ml + Calgreen to 20ml → EC 1.30
Still light green — significantly higher nutrient demand than previous runs with different genetics under identical conditions
Purely genetics-driven
EC Factor Calibration:
Measured stepwise through isolated additions:
Wall-Up S + PeKacid = 0.47
+25ml MR1 = 0.76 → MR1 factor: 0.012 EC/ml
+20ml Calgreen = 1.30 → Calgreen factor: 0.021 EC/ml
Additives total: +0.05 fixed
Every future tank can now be calculated precisely
System Notes:
Defective nozzles discovered — some producing stream instead of mist

Bazooka_ Week 3 — Flower Week 1 (BT1–BT7):
Light Changes:
Flipped to 12/12
730nm: EOD only — 10min after lights off as flowering signal
730nm NOT running during light phase until stretch complete (BT15+) — avoiding additional elongation trigger with this extreme vigor
UVA: scheduled for BT14
Nutrients — Stretch Tank (40L):
MR1 30ml + MR2 10ml + AminoXtrem 36ml + GreenXtrem 12ml + Enzyme 10ml + Calgreen 24ml
EC target: 1.60
Hunger Continues:
Light green tips despite EC 1.60
Plants praying hard toward light — stomata wide open
5cm overnight growth at BT5 — stretch is brutal
EC Corrections:
+Magnisal → EC 1.70 (deliberate: LED under high intensity increases Mg consumption, one-sided Calgreen risks Ca:Mg lockout)
+Calgreen 7ml → EC 1.83
Light burn tips visible — pushing to the limit
EC 1.83 is new territory — never above 1.6–1.8 on previous runs under identical conditions
System Adjustment:
Off-time reduced: 600s → 480s
More root mass + higher transpiration demands shorter cycles
Reference Grow — Same Genetics:
Another grower | soil | Hesi liquid nutrients | ~100W LED
Result: 97g | BT76
Severe nitrogen intoxication — eagle claws, drain EC above 4.0
Plant never properly finished — extended flowering was not genetic but caused by N excess blocking flower transition and delaying ripening
Orange aroma present but not intense — attributed to suboptimal conditions
Our target: BT60–65 harvest corridor | trichome check from BT55
Goal: demonstrate what HPA + CO2 + UVA with clean nutrient protocol can extract from this genetics
