4 Assed Monkey

Begin week 1 2/27 Transplant day Transplanted with a mix of: *Silica Blast *Hydroguard *Liquid Karma All should have 1st set of permanent leaves tomorrow, making 2/28 Day 1. Humidity domes on. DAY 2 (2/29) She is standing tall and looking good. Removed humidity dome. Start MC feed schedule: MegaCrop @ 2g/gal Sweet Candy CalMag Recharge

DAY 8 Doing well and looking good. 24oz feed in outermost area to wet medium for microbes and mykos. MC @2g/gal SC @1g/gal CalMag 65% 75° VPD 9.5 Light 20/4 14,000 lux

DAY 15 Been feeding MC, SC, Calmag, @ ph adjusted 6.0 and allowing generous 1-2 days between feedings. Supplementing weekly with Recharge. 4AM - both needed support but are now thriving. These are vigorous and healthy and both are on schedule for topping. Temp: 74-76° Rh: 60% VPD: 10.5 (adj for leaf temp) DAY 19 These are noth on track for topping on D21.

DAY 22 These are healthy and doing well. Should enter the stretch with vigor like the others. Timing would have been better to have fed on topping day. DAY 25 Added Bud Explosion to last feed since topping. Removed 2 large fans from each that were blocking a lot of new growth, allowing A LOT of light in. DAY 28 There is a lot of new growth since topping. Flower sites appearing everywhere on both of these.

DAY 29 These have responded well to topping and have flower sites all over that are about to explode with growth. Very healthy. Most recent feed was 2g/gal MC and 3 different microbes (mammoth, recharge, hydroguard) DAY 32 Pulled each plant for individual maintenance. Removed any lower leaves that were unhealthy or blocking airflow. Thes are sll looking quite healthy. 4AM are both healthy bushes covered over their entire canopies with flowers. Topping has served these well, as the canopy of flowered is relatively even with no additional training. DAY 35 These are healthy and dense little bushes. They have grown well this week. With breeder estimate of 20-28", they both hsve a way to go. Hopefully they stretch hard this upcoming week so light can get inside.

Begin week 6 STRAIN DETAILS: 4 Assed Monkey - Mephisto Genetics Genetics: Gorilla Glue #4 x Grape Crinkle Cycle time: (60-65 days) Size: (20-28) Yield: (60-90g) DAY 41 Both of these are sbout done growing vertically. 16 and 17". They are forming nice colas up the entire length of 10 main branches each. The terminal bud on each of the branches is getting plumper every day as the branch thickens with new growth. These... and the others in the tent are all very healthy and vigorous. Wish these had gotten taller, but with 3-4 weeks to go, these might be very thick.

Begin week 7 DAY 46 Been doing daily 28-35oz+ feedings for most of the past 2 weeks. One of the 4AM is showing deficiency. Yellow patches. Could be potasium or magnesium? Will research. Did a complete mid-grow flush of all: 1gal w/Clearex 1gal plain water 1qt/base feed w/Recharge & Mammoth Maybe with microbes this flush was a mistake? Time will tell. Switched monkey fan to high and left tent door open to help with evaporation. Rh 57%.

DAY 53 4AM1/2 are very healthy and bushy. The colas are growing noticeably fatter and taller above the canopy every day. These have thick buds forming the entire length of the branches. These are a 60/65 day strain and will definitely benefit from additional time.

Begin Week 9 Continue thickening. These will not be ready this week per package estimate. They are healthy and continue growing hard. All of the branches on both plants are full their entire length with hairy buds forming. Several weeks yet. DAY 62 Been struggling with some thickening and yellowing leaves. Have suspected P or Mg deficiency. The symptoms seem improve with lower ph feed and supplementing Epsom salts. Recent feedings have been <6.0ph. Everyone got an out of tent inspection, trim and mini-flush...feed 1gal MC only with good runoff. Runoff ph was 7.0. Most of the thick, dry, deficient leaves are on the 4AMs and BRK, and... surprisingly, wthere weren't too many. Will continue feeding with reduced ph (5.6-6.0) nutrients. Switching Bloom nutes to Hydroplex for increased P ratio. Beautiful buds everywhere. DAY 63 After the mini-flush pots are heavy, but everyone looks rough. Gave everyone 2tsp Epsom in 24oz water. Neglected to ph nutrient water. Several hours later, everyone looks much happier and less yellowed. Lowered fan and increased speed to aid in transpiration to dry the pots. Re-discovered BACK-BUILDING. Back-building is the practice of topping individual buds a tiny amount which causes buds to swell as they respond in a way similar to how plants respond to topping. Had done a side by side with this technique on a single plant in the past and was able to see the results. This technique removes almost nothing but stimulates growth signals. It works. Performed this technique on 80-90% of this crop. This could be especially helpful on lower minor buds.

Begin week 10 DAY 67 These are getting close very fast. The buds are dense and run the length of the stocky branches. These are 19 and 15" tall DAY 70 4AM(1) got the chop.

Begin Week 11 4AM(1) net yield 90g dry DAY 75 CHOP 4AM(2)

Chopped these on D72 and D76, so both went 7-10 days longer than the stated 60-65 maturity. Buds are dense and have the grape smell I was hoping for. Buds are dense and meaty. Dried in a MyHerbsNow drier. Yield was 86g and 99g. (185g total). GROW STATS: 365w/avg (250w/veg + 480w/flower) 5 plants in 4x4: BRK - 108g 4AM(1) - 86g 4AM(2) - 99g FOG - 112g DG - 163g TOTAL YIELD: 568g 1.56g/w 35.5g/sf
