July 20: Picked up in red solo cup. ~10 days from transplant
July 21: Planted in Promix HP, ~5 gallons of soil.
4 L of water at 6.5 pH
July 22: Noted that leaves taco upward during the day, relax again at night. Heat stress?
July 23: First LST bend.
Tested soil collected July 21.
N: Very low
P: No reaction. Not present?
K: Very low
1L of water at 6.5 pH, Root Farm 2-3-7 1mL
July 29: Second LST bend.
Noted some purple candy striping on main stem and some of the fan leaf stems.
Soil is dry to first knuckle.
Let water sit outside a couple hours before adding nutrients.
1 mL RootFarm all purpose : 1L tap water, pH at 6.5.
Axillary buds 2,3,5,6 are popping. 3 is beginning to become a full on stalk with 1 node below the growth tip. Others are not far behind.
OG fan leaves still doing OK, not as healthy looking as new growth. Still some tiny yellow speckles, no signs of spider mite webs. Plucked unhealthy fan leaves @ 2nd node two days ago. Bud at that site is doing fine, though.
Fan leaves folded up along their center lines slightly during morning sun. Heat stress?
Collected soil sample before feeding. Let settle until Aug. 2. Results indicate low N, v low P, low K
Aug 2: Soil pH ~6.0
2L standing tap water.
Moved indoors because storm.
18/6, light at top of tent.
Aug 3:
Side stems are continuing to grow well. Lower ones appear to have matched nodes and three leaves on the first node.
Soil damp from yesterday's water.
Aug 5: Side stems exploding. Going to have to LST at least one of them in the next couple of days.
Aug 6:
- LST shoot from base that's stretched higher than apical bud. Considering cloning it.
- Watered 3L, pH 6-6.5 with 1.5mL each root farm base and all purpose.
29k Lux @ top of canopy.
Aug 7:
- LST shoot from near apical bud down to canopy height
- Shoot from base is still going well
- Adjusted LST at apical bud. Left off overnight to see if we can get some stretch. Plenty of pistils at nodes.
Thoughts on when to flip to flower:
- Kate is expected to take 60 days. Assume 10 wks.
- 1 week to dry.
- In jars by Thanksgiving (Oct. 18)
- Flip to flower Aug. 8 to make that schedule!?!
Aug 8:
Closed tent to get reading on temp and humid: 29°C, 45% humidity. According to Vapour Pressure Deficit chart, too dry for temperature inside the tent.
Room reading: 25°C, 44% humidity.
Weather report for outside: 23°C, 61% humidity.
Forced ventilation on the tent seems like best plan. Weekend project to build a PC case fan exhausto-box?
9:00 PM, 28°C, 37%rh.
- Spritzed with water. Humidity bumped to 50%, should be closer to 75-80% at this temperature.
- placed 1L cup of steaming hot water in tent and closed bottom air intake.
- Pointed clip fan at it.
Kate:
- Got a bit of stretch on apical bud, but not much.
- Re-applied LST to apical bud
- Pulled down a couple more long shoots to get them direct light
- Rotated 180 deg to mix things up a bit
Aug 9:
30°C, 58% RH in tent @ 9:40 AM
Kate:
- Soil is dry to first knuckle.
- Put put elevator underneath
- 4L tap water
Tent 28°C, 69% RH @10:10 AM
Verified that Kate has runoff.
Aug 10
27.5°C, 70% humidity @ 10:00 AM
28.4, 69% @ 21:45
- more LST
Aug. 12:
- Wet washcloth on pot lifter to try and bring up humidity
Kate:
- more LST.
- Chatted w. growers Discord. Consensus was that I should flower ASAP.
- 18 growth tips total
28C, 72% @ 16:40
28C, 72% @ 23:20
To Do:
- Light-proof the tent
- Add ventilation to tent, room
- Find alternate placement and light for three sisters
Aug 13:
Tent @ 30°C, 65% RH
Mild LST.
Confirmed switching to 12/12 tomorrow.
Aug. 14:
Kate:
- Took clones
- Defoliated
- Flipped to 12/12
29°C, 47% @ 23:05

21.3°C, 60% @ lights on
Max overnight: 27.6°C, 71%

30°C, 46% @ 14:00
Kate:
- tweaks to LST
