Protocol_JHP 🌱 Germination & Week 1 (June 21 – July 1)
Sow / Sprout: GG4 direct-sown June 21 (sprouted June 24–25); OG Kush direct-sown June 23 (sprouted June 26–27).
Hydration: Plain tap water only. Targeted minimal base watering around stem bases to encourage early lateral root search.
Micro-Climate Note: Pot rims restricted light, causing GG4 to stretch and fall over. Propped stem; recovered cleanly with hardened base. OG stayed squat and flat.
Lighting: 50% intensity at 80 cm height.
Protocol_JHP 🌿 Week 2: Soil Top-Up & Heavy Drench (July 2 – July 8)
Substrate Intervention (July 9–10): Topped off both 7-gal pots to the brim with fresh Light-Mix to bury elongated lower stems and expand root volume.
Hydration (July 9–10): Performed a heavy 4.0L plain tap water drench per pot from the hose to settle the new soil and charge the root zone.
Lighting: Bumped intensity from 50% to 75%.

Protocol_JHP 🌿🌸 Week 4: Pre-Flower Stretch & Bloom Transition Feed (July 16 – July 21)
Transition Feed (approx. July 18–19): Shifted to a 50/50 veg/bloom blend—3.0L per pot with 1 ml/L BioBizz Grow + 1 ml/L BioBizz Bloom.
Structure: Zero training (no topping, no LST). Phototropism naturally self-leveled the canopy.
OG Kush: Trunk reached 8.0 cm base circumference, supplying 15 equal-height primary shoots.
GG4: Vertical surge; lateral branches matching central spire height.

Protocol_JHP 🌿🌸 Week 5: Early Flower Transition & Deep Canopy Analysis (July 22 – July 26)
Substrate & Root Reset: Executed a 4.0L plain tap water displacement flush per pot following an early-week nutrient spike. Leaf serrations showing "praying" posture, confirming zero root shock and active transpiration. Entering a 3–5 day dry-out.
GG4 Auto: Athletic vertical tower (76 cm H × 55 cm W) with 9–11 dominant main colas and 4.5–6 cm internodes. Stem junctions showing calloused lignification ("knuckling") to support upcoming flower weight.
OG Kush Auto: Compact tabletop canopy (46 cm H × 77 cm W) with 14–16 primary top shoots and ultra-tight 1.5–2.5 cm internodes.

Protocol_JHP 🌸 Week 6: Canopy Re-Alignment, Lower Defoliation & Mid-Bloom Feed (July 27 – August 2)
Canopy & Lighting Intervention: Adapted to GG4's height surge. Re-aligned the light plane by tilting the Mars Hydro TS1000 panel on a diagonal angle. Elevated OG Kush on a solid crate riser to sit parallel with the lower side of the light beam.
Defoliation & Airflow: Executed a clean trim on GG4, stripping the lowest 15–20 cm of shaded fan leaves and weak, spindly undergrowth shoots. Opened up a central airflow "chimney" across the soil line for the desk fan.
Mid-Bloom Hydration & Feed (July 31): Delivered a full 4.0L per pot deep soak containing BioBizz Grow and BioBizz Bloom.
Plant Metrics & Status (July 31):
GG4 Auto: 114 cm H (15 cm clearance to high side of light panel). Main central spear and upper colas displaying dense white pistils, early sugar/trichome dusting, and a distinct lemony-fuel terpene profile.
OG Kush Auto: 61 cm H (30 cm clearance to low side of light panel). Dense, ultra-healthy tabletop canopy. No smell.

Protocol_JHP 🌸 Week 7 Log & Updated Canopy Metrics
📜 Protocol Log:
Week 7 (August 3 – August 9, 2026)
Environmental Metrics:
GG4 Supercrop: Main stem supercrop executed to break central apical dominance, dropping the vertical spire profile and generating a healed structural knuckle.
OG Kush Explosive Stretch: Followed GG4's trajectory 2–3 days behind, settling her main top at 100cm.
Canopy Boundary Shaping: Pulled outer lateral wings inward using soft ties to consolidate the canopy directly beneath the central light panel hotspot.
Understory Airflow Chimney: Cleared out lower shaded shoots to maintain high-velocity 24/7 airflow across pot surfaces from the lower desk fan.
Hydration & Nutrient Regimen:
Volume: Scaled up to 5.0L per pot deep-soak feeds to match peak transpiration demands.
Nutrient Ratio: Maintained BioBizz Organic ratio at 1 cap Bio-Grow : 2 caps Bio-Bloom per 5.0L.

Protocol_JHP 🌸 Protocol_JHP — Week 8: Peak Bloom, Canopy Management & Outward Expansion
Dates: August 10 – August 16
Stage: Mid-to-Late Flowering (Week 8 from Sprout / Day 51–57)
📜 Log & Key Events
Substrate & Hydration Buffer (Aug 9–13)
Pre-Trip Buffer: Delivered a 6.0L deep-soak feed per pot on August 9th prior to a 4-day period away.
Return Assessment (Aug 13):
Soil held sufficient moisture without severe drought stress. Both 7-gallon fabric pots were light, but plants showed high turgor and perky "praying" leaf posture upon door open.
Routine Feeding: Resumed standard 5.0L deep-soak feeds per pot using the BioBizz organic bloom ratio (1 cap Bio-Grow : 2 caps Bio-Bloom per 5.0L).
Zero runoff confirmed full root absorption.
Canopy Alignment & Supercropping (Aug 13)
Light Clearance Crisis: During the 4-day absence, OG Kush Auto executed a late vertical surge, pushing her primary spire directly into the Mars Hydro TS1000 board, causing minor contact singeing on a single upper sugar leaf.
GG4 & OG Stem Manipulations:
Executed a late high-stress pinch/roll (supercrop) on OG Kush’s runaway main stem, bending her 30cm+ spire horizontally across the canopy.
Re-supercropped/crushed GG4’s surging central spire and secondary contender stems using the squeeze-and-roll method to keep tips 10–15 cm clear of diodes.
Plant Metrics & Observations
GG4 Auto: Broad, wall-to-wall horizontal footprint. Healed supercrop knuckles forming thick, calloused vascular bridges. Sugar leaves heavily encrusted with dense, stalked trichomes with a pungent, sour lemon-fuel terpene output.
OG Kush Auto: Successfully stabilized following late stem pinch. Dark emerald, broad indica-leaning foliage creating a stark genetic contrast against GG4’s narrower lime-green blades. Bud sites shifting heavily from soft white pistil sprays into active calyx inflation and resin production.
