3/21: I soaked a seed for 5 minutes in some bacto and endoboost solution and planted it into a spongepot soaked in the same solution. If it takes off, it will be transplanted into a starter pot with FoxFarms Light Warrior mix and a pinch of cooked soil for 10 days or so, then I'll transplant it into a 1-gallon pot. I'll be growing it indoors under LED lights for a couple weeks before taking it outdoors. I'll either transplant it into a 5 or 10 gallon pot at that point. This is an experimental grow in that the site where she will be grown only gets about 4-5 hours of direct sun per day. I had scrawny plants last time I tried it, but this time,I'm gonna be running a some 150w waterproof outdoor grow lights (3200k) all during the day to increase their average PAR values. I cant run the lights past dusk or risk detection, but I'm optimistic that she'll produce well enough..🙏 3/31: Th first one didn't pop, so I soaked the other two seeds in a humic acid, kelp, endoboost, bacto solution overnight and planted them in spongepots and put them under a dome. I also sprinkled a little endoboost into the holes...maybe this time.... 4/5: One of them sprouted and I put it into a starter cup. 4/9: She's growing! 4/12: I transplanted her into a 1-gallon pot and gave her a little drink of water with big bloom, myco, and humic acid

4/14: She's growing well now. I gave her a little bit of the same nutes as the older girls, and then kinda diluted it with some spring water a little bit. I also foliar fed her with big bloom and fulvic acid. 4/16: I just gave her a little bit of water today so as to keep her from drying all the way out. I worked on the outdoor grow site some this week. Got a pair of waterproof 60w 6500k flood lights and a photography background rig to suspend the lights at various heights over the plants. I ended up taking down the mylar I had up because it made so much noise when it was windy. I'll either buy some more of that 6mil vinyl-backed diamond mylar from vivosun, or I'll just hang some panda film (white side in). I mixed up about 6 cu ft of soil and amendments, and potted it all into 5 gallon pots. I used 2 bags of fox farms salamander soil, 2 bags of fox farms ocean forest, about 1.5 cf ft of my own cooked super soil, 1/2 cu ft of organic compost, 15 lbs of earthworm castings, and 12 extra quarts of course/chunky perlite. 4/17: She starting to catch up to the FF#7, but the FF#6 seedling is leaving them both in the dust.. I gave her a good drink of water with silica and humic acid and I foliar fed her again today. 4/18: I foliar fed again today with big bloom and humic acid. 4/20: I fed her today with full strength nutes...and away we go!🚀👍

4/18: I transplanted her into a 1-gallon pot and gave her a little water with endoboost, humic acid, silica, and molasses, then I foliar fed her a couple of times. 4/19: I foliar fed again today and gave her a splash of spring water. 4/20: She's growing well now. I fed her her first full-strength batch of nutes..a little early, but fuck it..if she likes it, maybe she'll catch up to the #6 and #7 FFT seedlings. 4/22: I FIM'd her today and gave her about 20oz of water with cal-mag, humic acid, and boomerang and foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. Later, I rinsed off all the plants with a stiff stream of filtered water in preparation for tomorrow. 4/23: Today was BoomBoom Spray day! I just love how visible the growth is the day after a BoomBoom Spray day!😲 Tomorrow I'll spray her down with Axiom Harpin a|b proteins. Tomorrow, I'll probably move her into my little tent for another week or so. Then she's gonna take off... to the great outdoors. 4/25: I fed her a good dose of everything. I think I've decided to grow her and the #7 in my tiny tent and train them out a little bit, so she might turn out pretty nice. That's it for week 3 for this plant..

4/26: I watered her with about a quarter-gallon including humic acid, cal-mag, liquid molasses, liquid kelp, and endoboost. The autos took over the closet, so she and the other photoperiod seedlings and clones are in the tiny tent until next weekend. At that point, I think I've decided to grow this plant and the FFT#7 in the tiny tent under about 300w. I'll transplant them both to 5 gallon pots next weekend and flip to 12/12. 4/27: She is flourishing in the tiny tent, so hopefully I can get her topped and trained out some before I flip to flower.👍 4/28: I did a bunch of leaf-tucking and foliar fed with big bloom, grow big, silica, and fulvic acid. I also fed her about 32oz of water with a lot of everyting..gonna be alright.😉 4/29: I transplanted her into a 5 gallon pot with a handful of fresh compost and myco. It took some effort to remove her rootball from the 1 gallon pot. Excellent root system already! She spent the afternoon in direct sunlight, then I took her indoors and put her into the closet so she'd have more preliminary exposure to UV-A and UV-B. 4/30: Today was her last night indoors..hopefully she's ready for the big-time. 5/1: I gave her about 1/2 gallon of water with humic acid, boomerang, cal-mag, and liquid kelp. Her pot is amended with Happy Frog Fruit & Veggie dry fertilizer, so she should be good for a month or so before I have to start really feeding her. Tonight was her first night outdoors. 5/2: She's looking very perky after the 5 hours of direct sunlight she got yesterday. I did a foliar application of boom boom spray this morning as the sun was coming up. I'll spray her down with Axiom at dusk.

5/4: She stretched a few inches. I'll tie down her tallest branches in the next couple of days and when they get to the third node, I'll top her again. I gave her a little water with myco, kelp, molasses, cal-mag, silica, and humic acid. 5/6: I did a little LST on her today and fed her about a gallon of water with boomerang, grow big, big bloom, cal-mag, silica, and humic acid. This was the last time I'll give her any grow big or boomerang...there's plenty of good stuff to support good growth for at least a month in the Happy Frog dry fertilizer I'm using. 5/7: I foliar fed with big bloom, grow big, silica, fulvic acid, and molasses. 5/8: I did a foliar application of Axiom harpin proteins. 5/9: I did a foliar application of boom boom spray. 5/10: She's growing very well now, so I topped all her main shoots and tied them them down to encourage the lower branches to compete for apical dominance. I'll water her tomorrow if it doesn't rain. That's it for week 5

5/11 - 5/17: I topped a couple shoots early in the week and have her in full LST submission..sprawling nicely.👌 I watered her once really well at the start of the week with endoboost, humic acid, silica, cal-mag, molasses, and big bloom...and a little bit of grow big. I foliar fed with boom boom spray one day, and a solution of fulvic acid, cal-mag, big bloom, sweet & sticky, and silica a few days. It rained really heavy on the night of the 15th, so I won't be watering again anytime soon. I topped another of her shoots on the 14th and about an hour later, I realized that I should have taken it as a cutting..I'll have enough soil for a few plants in 3 gallon pots, and from what everybody says, I'd be very happy with some more jars of #5. I spent all 3 seeds to grow this one plant, so I'll try rooting some clones of her soon...👈 This week I received my new portable outdoor misting fan and hoses and got it set up on a timer with just airflow while the lights are on, and once the temps reach about 95f regularly, I'll have my hose timer let 10 minutes of water every 2 hours get misted across the canopy. It should lower the "real feel" by about 25-30 degrees and increase RH considerably. Also hoping that the constant airflow will make them stronger and keep insects off of them somewhat. It will also enable me to easily give them a blow dry if it rains in late flower. But wait...that's not all....it's also gonna be very much more enjoyable for me to sit in the garden and do my thang. 👍

5/18: I did a little LST on her today and ordered another of the 200w lights and some panda film to line the interior of my tarped enclosure. 5/19: WTF?!? I was seeing a few pre-flower pistils here and there, but today it's looking like she's trying to flower along with every other plant in the outdoor garden! All I can figure is that being vegged under 24/0 for a month and then being put outside at just the wrong time under 14/10, they think it's becoming winter. I sure hope she notices the days getting longer and goes back to vegging.🙏 I wanted to beast her all the way out and finish up in late summer, and it's still only fuckin Spring! 5/20 - 5/24: She is really thriving. I did a little more LST on her before the rain started. It rained every day this week for at least a few hours, but I did manage to top-dress her pot with cavern culture and azomite between showers. I also did a foliar application with MicroLife Maximum Blooms that didn't get rainwashed off for about seven hours... That's it for week #7-

5/25: It rained again today for most of the day, but I managed to get back out there and take some photos after it let up. I also shot a short video early in the a.m while it was sprinkling and the lights were on... I heard that this strain flowers really fast, but I really don't think she can finish before June 21 (the summer solstice). The other two seedlings (FFT#6 and FFT#7) are in the same boat. The 5 clones outdoors might be able to finish before they get the signal to reveg. I may end up bringing as many of them as I can fit into my closet to finish and starting another batch of beans to grow outdoors this summer... 5/26 - 5/31: I did some training on her early in the week between rain showers, and foliar fed with Microlife maximum bloom formula. She's more than 36" across now... She was looking a little N deficient, so I assume the dry amendments have petered out. I top-fed her with another couple tablespoons of cavern culture and on the 31st, they were dry enough to feed them. I gave them big bloom, tiger bloom, grow big, beastie bloomz, silica, endoboost, signal, humic acid, liquid kelp/fish emulsion, and liquid molasses. It just feels so strange that I'll be harvesting outdoor photos in June!?! That's it for week 8-

6/1: I had lowered the lights a little too much and burnt a few tops. I raised them back up and tied her branches down a little more. I sprayed her down with boom boom spray as an apology.. 6/3: I bought a pair of 60w 3000k waterproof lights to replace the two 60w 6500k lights with. She's flowering, but probably not fast enough to beat the solstice. She'll probably end up in my closet to finish along with the other three seed-grown plants in the outdoor garden.

6/9: I watered her with about a gallon including liquid molasses, microlife maximum blooms, big bloom, humic acid, beastie bloomz, and silica. I also foliar fed right before dark with Maximum blooms. It's gettting hot outside, so I'm running the misting fan about 10 minuites of every hour during the afternoon,a dn just the fan for the last few hours of the day to dry them back out really well.

7/6: Long story short....hundreds of ravenous, tiny, green grasshoppers descended upon her and feasted for a full day, while simultaneously suffering an invasion of spider mites.😲 Within a couple of days she had lost too much foliage to even bother trying to recover her, so I harvested what I could and put it into the trim bag for the next batch of bubble hash.😥 The bud was still pretty thin, but it's frosty and smells great, so all is not lost.
