Maine Outdoor 2020

Unfortunately I found this website far after I started my grow. I had ordered my clones from a place called Clonify. They charged outrageous rates but offered a 30 day money back guarantee as well as lab work on the genetics. I did research on the farm prior to my friend ordering and they are top notch. On February 11th my friend had some clones delivered. He paid the delivery fee and the fee of $135 for the first cutting. Cuttings of the same strain after the first were $30. I know that is expensive. My friend has money and wanted guaranteed genetics. They came with paperwork and the 30 day guarantee that neither of us needed to use. Anyway I used two 150 watt HPS lights to veg these clones inside for the rest of the winter. I put them outside far to early in May. It was actually one of the coldest months on record. My plants almost completely died. I had to move them into the heated garage and nurse them back to health. I then had to acclimate them to the weather again. I don't think their is a single leaf on those plants that was on them before. That is why I decided to use this first week as sort of a "photo dump" to show you the state the plants were in and how far I've actually come. I may try to separate weeks as best as I can remember with pictures but like I said, I may just use this week as a photo dump. I'm extremely proud of myself and I put in a lot of work. I had success cloning these strains myself. The smaller clones you see I clones myself in May. One of them is almost as big as the others! I then gave my extra clones to the neighbors that wanted them. I figures the more people that are able to grow their own the less people I have to worry about taking mine. I wish I found this website earlier. Prior I had been using a little book. I will try to add more photos and organize this a little better. If anyone made it this far thank you very much for your support. MasterOfSmeagol

I bought these clones February 11th. They have been growing under two 150 HPS lights. They have run out of room and are rootbound. They will be going outside today into 2 20g 5 30g cloth pots and 1 100 gallon plastic pot. Soil is a mix 50/50 FFOF and Happy Frog. As of late I have only been feeding Ph water

Everything was transplanted this week. Wind caused problems that led to my adding more supports. I'm hoping and praying they will do ok. Plants were moved to the barn due to high winds and extremely low temps.

5/11 We went from extreme cold to having some decent sun it was in the 60's and plants received several hours of sunlight. Once the weather stabilizes I will look at putting plants outdoors. In another note I've seen the first of several roots on the cuttings I took may 2nd.

Got plants outside on 5/21 and supported for wind. Wind supports held up even with 30mph gusts.plants were last watered 5/22. All plants seem to be acclimating much better. Temps have been in the 80s but will be dropping to the 60s. They aren't where I want them to be but they aren't where they were either.

Temperature changes have been swinging upwards of 40 degrees on some days. We are now experiencing 95 degree weather with sustained wind. Plants are recovering nicely though. Plants have grown a lot since last week. I'm considering topping some. I need to measure them.

6/4 Plants look greatly improved. Added 3 more Slurricanes today. I will be adding 2 more slurricane and 2 more mendo breath. 6/9 We had a huge thunder storm that rocked my plants. The supports I had held and despite some bending I didnt suffer any breakage. 6/10 I transplanted the rest of my clones today. Everything is now outside.

6/9 fed. 6/11 attempted to water but I'm holding off to see what we get for rain. Things are finally looking up. Very frustrating not being able to load vids. 6/12 first video uploaded. 6/13 still doing research and trying to decide whether or not to move the grow. My cousin seems to think things are fine. I've still got research to do. Camera app went down for a bit but everything is up and running. Plants are looking good! 6/14 watered and Fed plants 3tsp big bloom. 1tsp grow big, 1tsp calmag, 1/2 micro brew, 1/2 kangoroots. Plants are greatly improving. I still see some wind burn. I've gotten mixed reviews on whether or not to move the entire grow. Local seasoned growers and family members that have seen the setup and location tell me to leave it where it is. People online seem to think it's better to move the entire grow. I'm leaning towards the "if it's not broke dont fix it" attitude. Any suggestions are greatly welcomed.

6/17 and 9/18 Were extremely hot days. Today to reached 98 with temps still currently in the 90s as I right this at 7:22pm. Watered morning came back to discovery the bags had dried out. I watered again and fed; 3tsp big bloom, 1 calmagic, 1 grow big, 1/2 microbrew, 1 tsp unsulphered molasses. 1tsp kelp me kelp you. Watered fed and lightly watered again. 6/23 Plants seem fine post BT treatment. Found a few dead moth larvae. Plants look great and I haven't seen any negative effects from BT. Weather gas continued into the 90s. I had been watering twice daily. After examining the medium I decided to not water today as I had hit them pretty hard the day before. Fed and watered same schedule except I switched out microbrew for kangoroots on 6/23. I was going to apply second application of BT but on examination I found Aphids on my smallest mendo breath. This plant is a mendo breath reveg and I've been worried about pests due to its density. I put out two aphid traps (I doubt it will do much since the are only nymphs) and sprayed with MiteX by bromide. Cottonseed, clove and garlic oil with sodium bicarb and a few others. If this doesnt work they are all getting captain Jack's.

Fed 6/24 applied miteX for aphids. 6/25 Applied second application of miteX to infected plant. Aphids seem to be dieing and numbers are greatly reduced. They have not spread to other plants. I'm hoping my plants arent going into some sort of preflower. Especially since these are some if the longest days we get. 6/26 We got some rain and I again treated with Mitex. 6/27 Rained last night medium is moist. Noticed small pillar bites and plan to apply BT before dark. Will update in the morning. The smaller clones have outgrown there 3 gallon pots and need to be transplanted soon. I also have a slight case of PM on a couple of my smaller slurricanes that I will need to deal with. 6/28 Plants are increasing in size and really filling out. No negative effects from the BT sprayed last night. I've noticed the large plants seem to be in preflower which I find strange due to the length of daylight. It is slightly decreasing I guess. Aphids seem to be fairly under control and have not spread. Thrips are bad this year and I've noticed a few spots. Consider Captain Jack's in the future. 6/29 Spot treated PM with a mix of milk and defoliated the few infected leaves. Aphids appear to be gone. We've gotten some steady rain that seemed to do the plants some good. Things seem to be going really good. Plan to transplant the smaller clones wednesday. 6/30 It rained all day yesterday and through the night. We needed the rain. Plants are really filling out and the smell has become significantly stronger. I can see preflower beginning. I fed this morning and did some defoliation last night and sprayed a milk and water solution to spot treat a small spot of PM. I still notice slight pillar damage so I'll monitor and apply as needed. 7/1 Sun is peaking out of the clouds. Plants somehow seem larger everyday. I bought some bamboo and grow bags but was unable to obtain pro-mix at the three stores I went too. I have enough to transplant one which I may do tonight. Also the local dispensary had slurricane in stock grown by green trap which is one of my favorite cannabis companies. It surpassed all expectations and soared to my top three favorite strains ever. Super happy to have the strains I do and grateful they are healthy.

LAST FEED 6/30 7/2 Continued to rain. I picked up more bamboo and some 5 gal grow bags but could not find soil. I may make my own if I'm unsuccessful tomorrow. Rain continued with heavy winds. Plants took it like a champ. 7/3 I came expecting some broken branches from the storm last night but all plants seem fine. Pictures above are post storm. I'm thinking about going in ground with the second gen clones. Not sure yet. Aphids are gone. Noticed a couple pillar spots. I'm spraying tonight. No excuses. 7/4 Applied BT last night. Found a spider high up in one of my mendo breathe plants. I found pretty decent web at the very top. I had to get a ladder to reach the top. Had some other issues so I was unable to transplant. I will look for soil but I doubt I'll find anyone open. I may check out what we have for loam and use that. 7/5 It was sprinkling when I went over this morning. I have to go to town tomorrow and I'm transplanting in the rain so that's out for today. I found a patch on my plants where some form of pest got at it. I hit them hard with BT so I dont think its pillars. Looks different anyway. I posted a pic above and I'll add it to a question. Need to mow around. I saw some chinks missing like a grasshopper or cricket or something. Considering cap'n jack. 7/6 Sun is out and plants seem to be getting bigger every day. The second gen clones need a transplant. As soon as I feel better I will get that done. Minor random leaf stippling from a leaf or grass hopper. Found a few dead moth larvae. At least BT seems to be killing them. 7/7 Transplanted all but two plants. They were extremely root bound. Walking onto the garden the smell punches me in the face. Very aromatic. Bags I had didnt work well for transplanting. The last two clones will be transplanted tonight into 10 gallon smart pots. I chose ten as it's already getting close in my 12x12 garden and I dont want to run out of space. FED TODAY. UPDATE: After speaking with the local horticulture professor and showing him my garden I went with ten gallon smart pots on two and a 30 gallon tub on my monster mendo breath mutant. The others went in five gallon buckets and bag. I am super impressed this year and I've put in tons of work. When transplanting I used promix which I mandated slightly with manure and seafood compost. I'm on liquid nutes anyway. I made my pen the perfect size. I plan to add higher supports and some further LST with string and bamboo. On the 11th the big girls will be six months old.

LAST FEED 7/7 7/8 I'm very excited with how my little grow is turning out. Preflower are forming on my mendo breath. Slurricanes are a little behind. I'm wondering when to switch to flower nutes. We will be getting thunderstorms today and this weekend. I obtained four blow up mattresses and cut them, zip tied them together and covered with gorilla tape. Since I didnt have enough lumber to frame the top of my fence I will not be able to use the rain guard tonight. I think they will be fine Having a frame that I could staple it too very quickly would be invaluable especially in the fall. 7/9 I added some additional supports last night. Glad I did as I have no damage and that was a huge storm. Preflowers are forming and smell is pungent. 7/10 Fog was heavy this morning but the sun is out now. Looks like it will be nice all day. I found a spider web at the bottom of a plant wrapped at the base of the stem. I've been killing pregnant spiders that will fold the leaves and web them together to hatch there babies in. The webs they weave are extremely durable. I swept up app webs which were easy to see do to the most and fog. I still see some pillar damage so I think you I might hit them with captain Jack's that way if I'm missing something I can spray before I transition to flower nutes. I watered today as I wasnt sure how much rain the plants had got and I didnt water yedterday. 7/11 It poured all night. It was the type of rain plants love. A bit heavy at times. I had to check plants with an umbrella. No damage. Everything looks good. I took no pictures due to the rain. As soon as I left it stopped raining. The sun came out yesterday and it was extremely humid. Plants seemed to love it. I'm really debating when I should switch to flower nutes. Went back later in the day. Sun came out and it was humid as hell. I took a couple pictures. 7/12 Heavy thunder showers gave way to sunny skies. I fed today and increased to 2tsp grow big and used micro bre instead of kango roots. It hasn't been a week yet but I will be away for a week and family will be caring for my plants. I will still monitor via security feeds and the morning through facetime. My plants seem to be doing super good and I hate to leave them even for a night. Oh well. I'll have to hope a masters in forestry and a masters on botany will suffice to care for my garden. Honestly I'd probably rather have a smelly hippie looking after them. At the local store brown tail moths coated the store. It was ridiculous. I applied BT heavily to my entire crop and actually say a few moths fly out from under the plants. It's been so dry the moths biggest predator (a form of algae) didnt grow. The CDC issued guidelines as they are poisonous. If you've never had problems with worms you might this year. 7/13 like I said family is watching my grow for a few days so I'm not sure if I'll be posting. I may have pictures sent and facetime. I can always check the cameras anyway. I sprayed BT last night just to be safe. That was unreal. I'm worried to leave my girls but I know it's just my anxiety disorder. When I get back I'm switching the mendo breath to flower nutes. Maybe slurricane too. What do you guys think? Hope you enjoy the video. I had much better internet connection. 7/14 I'm super lucky to have the family I do. They have taken pictures for me and facetimed my plants. I can monitor with my cameras but it's great to facetime and look really close.

LAST FEED 7/12. DISCLAIMER: SOME PLANTS ARE OLDER THAN THIS DIARY HAS STATED. I LOOKED BACK AND FOUND THAT I OBTAINED THE SIX ORIGINAL CLONES ON FEB. 11TH. I THEN CLONED A FEW MYSELF TO DONATE AND FILL MY GROW SPACE. 7/15 Its hard being away from my garden. I know my family knows what they are doing and they are staying right there 24/7 but I miss the morning gas in my garden. I should have some pictures to put up tomm. Plants were watered last night. 7/16 Family watered plants last night for me. Found a large moth at the base of the largest plant. Good thing I gave them a good helping of BT before leaving. I am so grateful to have family that will pay attention and put the work in for me to get away for a few days. Plus I can always monitor via the UHD cameras but it's not the same. The weather has been beautiful. I facetimed with my girls this morning and they are lovely as ever. My mendo breath is in flower now. I can see why they have these diaries set up for different strains. I'm going to have to switch to flower nutes with mendo breath and maybe slightly adjust the slurricane schedule. What do you folks thinks? Family called and said they are wondering about a few yellow leaves on the top of two plants. I had noticed heat stress earlier and I imagine that's what this is as well. When he mentioned fading I figured light stress. I think I may need to up my feeding schedule. I know family knows what this means to me so they are super cautious. I miss my girls and I await somevpictures. They look ok from my security cams. 7/17 It's raining here and at my grow today. Family has sent pictures of what appears to be heat/light stress and wind burn. I couldn't really see close enough through my camera's or even through skype or facetime. I had a local grower stop over and check things out without telling them my hypothesis. I spoke to them through my speakers and watched while they looked over my crop. They came to the same conclusion that I did and informed me of how the weather had been. They said the soil was fine and that my family was doing a good job watering. It has been lightly raining so my plants should love this. I'm getting homesick. I miss having coffee in the morning with my girls. Oh well I will be back on Sunday. Just for clarification my grow is protected 24/7 via motion sensors, cameras, lights, audio alarms and strobe lights, speakers so when my motion sensors are triggered I can talk to the intruder and/or give instructions to whoever is protecting my crop, two German Shepard, several "secret surprises and a cadre of misfit trigger happy veterans I call family. The grow is in an ideal location and if anything is triggered whoever is closest goes one room over to "the nest" which has a table next to an open window with an optimal view point from an elevated position three stories up......I have an anxiety disorder. This is a totally legal grow. There are much larger ones up and down the roads. I'm lucky to live in a town that (for the most part) protects each other. Despite what I just said I'm actually a really nice guy. A bit paranoid but nice. I have given anyone that had asked clones so that they could try their hand at growing free of charge. I figure the more people that grow their own the less that want mine. I've also given away pounds and pounds of cannabis to several people that suffer from anxiety disorders. I don't know why i'm going on and on. I smoked a fatty of wedding cake and i'm comfortably numb. Seriously though. Stay the fuck out of my shit. Lol. Thanks for looking! 7/18 We received some rain yesterday but looking at my cameras it appears to be very sunny today. I will be returning to my garden in the morning. I'm looking forward to it. Vacations are fun but I can only really stay gone for about a week before I get home sick. At least I won't be coming home to a mess like i've seen so many other times in other peoples grows that leave to take a short vacation. i am grateful for my family. I have a lot of work to do when I get back and I will keep this diary updated. This is a great resource to have

FED 7/19 CONSIDER UPPING THE FEEDING SCHEDULE. ALSO VIDEOS TAKE FOREVOR TO UPLOAD DUE TO SHITTY INTERNET. SOMETIMES I'M LICKY TO EVEN UPLOAD PICTURES. 7/19 Returned from vacation to find my garden has grown significantly. It's like a jungle now. Two large mendo breath have large preflowers (approx. 1in). The others and the Slurricanes arent far behind. No sign of pests and stocks are THICK. I'm considering switching to flower nutes either next feed or the feed after. Added PH down this time so the girls got some extra phosphorous anyway. I'm also considering upping the feeding to twice per week. I fed 1 less tsp big bloom and a whole tsp to combat the heat stress I've seen. Some leaves are tacoing. Wind has also been an issue but has made some rugged plants. I need to set up trellis to spread branches and defoliate small branches underneath. I have my work cut out for me. I'm so grateful my family could handle this but I'm back on the ball. I hope I can upload videos. 7/20 Super hot in the 90s all day with almost 100% humidity. Watered thoroughly. Extensive heat damage. Found an ant and a couple aphids. Squished the aphids and found the anthills and poisoned them. I need to cut the grass. Consider preventative spray. Also noticed some twisted leaves and some purple on my monster cropped mendo. 7/21 Not AS hot today but still RIDICULOUS. Plants dont really like it. They'll survive. I've got buds an inch long on the two largest mendo breath. The reveg mendo breath is not nearly as far along. Curious. Added posts to attach bamboo too. I then attached the main stalk to the bamboo so it will hold better in the wind with added weight of buds. I'm learning a lot that's for sure. Having trouble uploading picture due to internet problems. 7/21 EVENING. Still some heat damage. Wind was thrashing the plants around. I found what looks like a phosphorous deficiency in a couple leaves of my monster crop mendo. Some of the leaves were rolled right up wierd. Not the tops like broad mites. Super high humidity, high temps and wind gusts. I'll monitor. Added some more supports this morning. Transplant last little mendo into final pot. Filled up that huge 100g pot with more promix. I went up to the first branch and packed it down good. I watered everything and avoided around the stem on that plant to prevent stem rot. Began LST with some of the mendo breath. All in all a VERY productive day. I hope that was an ok thing to do. Still having trouble uploading pictures. 7/22 After some research I've found that PH may be off on that reveg mendo along with heat stress, wind burn and possible overwatering while I was gone. I saw pictures and it looks EXACTLY the same. I'll monitor and allow ALL pots/bags to dry out totally before I give them more water. I'm glad i was able to diagnose the problem and it wasnt broad mites. Saw a white fly on that same plant. I'm considering a preventative spray of spinosid before flowering really begins. 7/22 PM I checked things did a little more LST and noticed soil was dry. I wonder if it has to do with the bags and wind. Although the one in the 50 gallon pot was dry too. Maybe I'm not watering enough. Also need to spray cap'n Jack as preventative and random hopper aphid killer. I'm upping the feeding schedule to twice a week and will feed tomm. 7/23 I fed today 3tsp big bloom, 2 tsp grow big, 1/2 tsp kelp me kelp you, 1/4 tsp microbe brew, and added 1 tsp of tiger bloom. I'm sure they can handle it. Considering preventative capn Jack's for the random bug before REAL flower. Although buds are an inch on 2 Mendos. Relieved I saw a picture exactly like my twisted leaves and it was from heat stress, wind, ph imbalance and or bad watering habits. Hope I can nail it down. Relative humidity 75% current temp 82 at 5:25p.m. 7/24 Temps in 80s-90s. Still notice a few twisted leaves and purple discoloring on that one mendo. Everything is growing at an enormous rate. Huge thunderstorms and sheet rain last night but it didnt bother them. Still investigating the reddish tinge on leaves that have turned yellow. I'm almost 100% sure this is only heat stress and there's only so much I can do. 7/25 Decided to hold off watering. Heat stress is still on that one slurricane and I can see this heat wave starting to effect other plants. Found earwigs despite plants being healthy. I need to research spraying capn hack on a heat stressed plant but if it's ok I will do that tomorrow night. My PH meter is broken. I know that the PH of the water and Nutes going in is ok and generally promix happyfrog and food have pretty good ph zones. I still see some red tinge on a few leaves on a certain plant. All in all plants look very healthy. Short entry but will start a new week.

LAST FEED 7/23 7/26 Watered today after letting the pots dry out yesterday. Losing my moisture meter and being unable to do the "lift the pot method" sucks. I just have to go by what the plant is telling me. I need to buy a new PH meter and measure the runoff. There arent many but still a leaf or two that are really messed up looking on my monster cropped mendo breath. Other than that the plant is a beauty. Noticed an ant and a couple aphids as well. I also need to monitor heat stress and if possible apply spinosad to combat a few random bugs. Cut down a tree in order to make room for more cameras. I have not seen negative effects from upping the feeding schedule to twice a week. In fact I've noticed several leaves that have shown nitrogen and phosphorous deficiencies. 7/27 Fed this morning. Replaced a tsp of grow big with tiger bloom to slowly transition to flower nutes and upped the kelp dosage to help with the heat stroke. Plants seem to be recovering and looking better each day. I got a few game cameras I will be installing tonight in case internet goes out some night. I have a backup generator that immediately comes on but i dont think internet would work. Anyway i cut some trees for more light and better angles for these awesome game cams. I also noticed a few more pests this morning. Couple aphids on the same plant as a few lady bugs. Leaf hopper damage and some slight pillar damage. I think i've waited long enough to use the spinosad. I plan to apply tonight. I also bought a digital soil ph tester. I cant find mine and it sucks so hopefully this will give me some idea. 7/27 PM Bought a few game cameras to add to the arsenal or surveillance to tie up a couple loose ends. Sprayed captain Jack's at 2 tsp per gallon with a drop of dawn. I finished spraying plants and it began to rain. Not sure if I need to reapply later. Also bought a new digital ph meter. I had to get out of the rain and I'm not sure if readings were correct but the ones I took were 7.3. 7.4, 7.6. This was after spraying and I'm no ot sure if I was using it correct. I'll update tomorrow. 7/28 Rained hard last night after my application of spinosad. Tornado landed a few towns over. We NEVER get ANYTHING like that around here. Garden was left untouched though. PH meter fails to read a couple plants. Readings range from 6.3 to 7.8 in one case. I think a tomato cage messed with a reading which read 5.8. I rechecked and it was fine.Plants in bags (20g and 30g) have such extensive roots. The arent "root bound" as they are in smart pots but the root base is just enormous. I shouldve went with all 50's or 100's. It's supposed to be another hot day. If anyone has advice, even general advice hit me up. I love to talk shop. 7/29 Found a worm on a leaf and promptly killed it. I feel like I need to water but it's been raining and the soil isnt wet. I will wait. Ph is still running at like 7.3 mostly so I've got to figure that out. I've got a busy day but I'll try to upload some pictures. I came back and plants were totally dry. I SOAKED them with the hose. Hopefully this will last. 7/30 Another hot day. PH readings are high. Approx 7.3 on most. I'm not quite sure if I should be concerned. The meter is shitty and I'm not sure I'm using it correctly. I will continue to monitor for pests and if needed add another app of spinosad. I was going to feed today but I plan on feeding tomorrow. Wierd random statement. One plant in a tub seems to read very acidic 5.8 approx 5.3 once but it's doing phenomenal. Anyway I will keep my diary updated. I have work to do tonight. I'm wondering if I should do an indoor grow. 7/31 I had to go check the plants last night and we had a severe thunder storm. Sheet rain just flooded some areas. I supported plants and they are fine. I fed today. I am now feeding twice a week. It's still hot everyday but I can see plants recovering from heat stress. I need to fo more LST. I just need to find the time to do it. 8/1 Wow time flies. Its August already. I finished installing the last camera in my security arsenal this morning. I need to consider another app of spinosad since the rain washed more off. Plants seem to he doing better and the few plants that were heat stressed will ne fine. Slurricane is FAR behind mendo breath on a flowering schedule. 8/2 I write this before bed at 1030pm. It just started to rain hard. We had a great day weather wise and I decided not to water. This rain helps lower my ph. Only one plant would read but I believe it was 6.3 which is much better. I've noticed deficiencies in plants. I'm feeding tomorrow. Im also increasing the nutes per gallon.

8/3 I didnt take any pics today. I had an emergency this morning. I will upload pictures tomorrow. I have noticed some slight deficiencies. I decided to up my feed to two gallons twice a week. I'll see how that goes. Heat stressed slurricane is recovering nicely. I need to do a spray if spinosad at some point. One plant has large holes I assume from hoppers or ear wigs. 8/4 We had a tropical storm warning all day yesterday. Things were fine. However it is supposed to be much worse today with that Isiah hurricane coming up the coast. We should miss most of it. I watered as we arent expecting much rain. I'm considering putting tarps around the entire structure before night to block the wind and stake the fence SECURELY in place. I'll play it by ear. 8/5 Waaaawho! Trop storm warning canceled. Plants are in perfect shape. Not a broken branch to be seen. PH is at 6.3 which is much better. 8/6 I did slight LST on one mendo breath. I'm amazed by this garden everyday. Soil PH is down to 6.3 for most plants. I upped my feeding schedule. I fed today. This time I mixed 3 gallons and added beastie bloom to one of the containers. I split that between the two flowering mendo breaths and used the others to feed the rest. I'm hoping my new feeding schedule wont back fire one me. I killed a worm this morning. Despite plants looking good I think it's going to he do for another application of spinosad. I have work to do cleaning the inside of the plants and more LST. This shit certainly is not for the lazy man. Happy growing everyone. Plants were dry in the PM so I watered. 8/7 Plants look great. The two ten gallons look a little over watered but that's fine. It's still real early on the morning anyway. Planning on applying spinosad tonight. Mendo is really going into flower. At least the 2 phenoms that looked the same are flowering. The reveg monster crop is further behind but hey we still have over 14h of light. Applied spinosad to one plant. 8/8 I watered this morning only to have a strange thunder storm drop a whole bunch more water. Oh well. I plan to spray tonight. Broke a small bottom branch. I made it into cuttings. Too burnt too do this right now. 8/9 Its hard to check PH but it seems my PH is around 7.2 for the most part. I've been procrastinating and need to clean out these plants, feed and spray. I'm planning on going back tonight and doining one or all of those. I'll add some pics. PM FED with the above schedule minus micro brew and 1tsp tb. Approximately 3 1/2 gallons. Plan to spray tomm.

LAST FEED 8/9 8/10 Plants are looking good. Flowers on mendo are plumping up. Other are stretching and have pre-flowers. I noticed a few stiplings on leaves. Not sure if it warrants a spray tonight or not. P.M. I went soaked the plants today as the temperatures were in the nineties again and the bags were dry as a bone. I feel like i'm watering too much but that is not my biggest concern. I check my plants AT LEAST three times a day with a closed circuit so I can monitor them at will. When I went to check them just as day light was fading I noticed some powdery mildew. I had dealt with this before due to the humidity and was able to just remove the infected leaves. I went and looked online and found that I could use captain jack's which I was planning to use anyway as a preventative and to kill some random critters. I shined the L.E.D light on a leaf and found much more powdery mildew than I saw without that extra light. It was not totally dark so must have something to do with the L.E.D.'s. Anyway I immediately went and got the bottle of captain jack's (I had no time to mix a gallon) and just went and sprayed what looked like the worst. I didn't focus so much under the leaves as much as trying to soak the plant and get an even coat. I'm hoping since this is a systemic this will solve the problem while preventing and killing other pests in the garden. I needed o use the flashlight to finish. It's still not totally dark so I have no worries about hurting the plants. I'm just wondering if I did a good enough job. I guess only time will tell. I planned on taking pictures but my phone totally died. Sorry guys. I'll take some in the morning. 8/11 I woke late around 6am. My phone died and I missed my alarm. I received bad information and thought the spinosad would take care of the powdery mildew. The relative humidity is fucking 91 percent today. This is incredibly ridiculous. My pictures are even coming out shitty. It's even hard to breath and i'm in good shape. Plants didn't look as bad as last night but what I think really made the difference was using a L.E.D flashlight to expose what was really there. I had to really look to find it this morning. My PH is a little on the high side already so I didn't want to use baking soda but milk seemed to have failed last time as well. I went to the store and mixed 1 TBSP baking soda 1 TBSP dawn 1 TBSP vegetable oil and sprayed the shit out of the plants. I'm not losing shit to powdery mildew or mold. I need to get off and defoliate a little better. The reveg I just can't seem to keep up with. I also don't want to throw away good cuttings. I was thinking of starting indoors. Anyway I hope I didn't make a huge mistake spraying captain jack's dead bug last night and then hitting the PM with the baking soda. If I did or there is some sort of reaction that you folks know about please let me know. I took some pics on my phone and i'll upload them later. I'll check them all later. I hope I do'n't end up with a bunch of burnt leaves. Now I need to defoliate the inside and LST the rest. I've put it off a little. P.M I went back just before dark to check. I found the small mendo breath in the back that's flowering was the culprit. I defoliated everything with substantial WPM on that plant and wiped down the leaves. I have major work ahead of me defoliating that monster reveg. I find it hard to cut branches and not find a use for them. I was thinking of maybe taking a shit ton of cuttings and doing a sea of green inside. I dont know though. 8/12 I defoliated the powdered mildew I saw on the little mendo breath this morning but I neglected to water. When I went back the plants were limp as fuck. I just watered the shit out of them and I hope they come back. I was going over to defoiate. I'm going to check in a little while and hopefully the plants will straighten out. I've seen what look like deficiencies in some leaves and i'll take pictures. I hope it's not that added nutrients or lockout. UPDATE: Plants bounced right back like I thought they would. I did a bit of exfoliating but I forgot the milk. I only saw PM on one plant and just a couple leaves. I'll wait until morning to spray. Heat stress is lessening despite temps in the 90s and a extremely high himidity. 8/13 Plants perked right back up after watering. I fed three gallons of nutes. I did some defoliation and brought a milk solution to spray on affected leaves. Baking soda seemed to work. I found one leaf with a little WPM. Good thing I check my plants daily. 8/14 I'll add to this later but it seems like my plants might have nutrient lockout. I fed three gallons yesterday and I came back today to find what seemed like chlorosis on a few leaves. Looked like an extreme potassium deficiency or some shit. I haven't really ever "flushed". We get sheet rain here that flushes shit pretty good but it's been extremely hot and humid with no rain.. I'll go check later and see how things are going. It seems like I fix one problem only for another to rear it's ugly head. P.m. Went back and watered everything. Plants dont look that bad. Maybe they are just recovering from the heat stress. It's still in the upper 80s to 90s 50%rh today. I will monitor for lockout. Judging only by timing it seems to have happened after I added beastie bloom and increased amount of nutes and frequency of nutes. 8/15 Its night. I had a busy morning. The ladies look and smell beautiful. The two mendo breath's of the same pheno are well into flower. Everything else is in the stretch mode. I looked back through the diary and noticed problems seemed to get worse when I added beastie bloom and greatly increased feeding. I'm backing off on the feeding. I checked moisture in medium and most were fine. I'm scared to flush. I phed a 5 gallon bucket of water and ran it through the two ten gallon Slurricanes as they needed water. The bigger pits were ok. A little cooler today bit still 80s and no rain. 8/16 I checked plants this morning and the buds on the mendo breath are really fattening up. The smell has greatly increased as has trachoma production. I think my problem with losing leaves may have something to do with me significantly changing my feeding schedule. I'm hoping if I give a nice thorough watering and cut back nutes for a bit I may not have to flush. Who knows but I saw the tell tale note burn curl on some leaves and things changed after I changed my feed and added beastie bloom which has a ton phosphorous. I'm going back tonight and I'll monitor it. P.M. I phed my water as best I could and watered the six plants that needed it with ten gallons. I filled up a bucket and added a capful of ph down to hopfully fet the right ph. I'm still hesitant about flushing my plants. If we dont get rain or I dont see things improve I will ask another local grower for help. Some leaves I've noticed are turning yellow and just dying. These arent big leaves. Plants look great but they cant keep up with the amount of leaves I've been pulling. Also noticed slight wpm on that tiny mendo breath. I made a solution of milk and water and sprayed what I saw and wiped it off with paper towels. I will continue to monitor.

LAST FEED 8/13 8/17 Plants have not been been watered and did not require any water today. I think my problem may be that I added beastie bloom and increased the frequency and amount of feeding. I haven't done a traditional "flush" but plants are showing signs of deficiencies. The heat and humidity have an effect t as well. I checked other plants and the seem to have some similar symptoms. My plants look hungry. I've given lots of water since I "overdosed" them. I may wait a bit and start a lower dose nutrient solution. I cant keep losing piles of leaves. 8/18 Mother nature blessed us with rain. I'll upload a photo later and possibly flush. UPDATE: We got torrential rain here. I filled an ice tea pitcher easily. I went to check the plants and decided that I should probably overcome my anxiety and flush my plants. I phed the water to about 5.5 and filled several five gallon buckets and flushed all the plants. Hopefully I did this correctly. I also noticed a little WPM sneaking up on my little mendo do I mixed a diy baking soda spray and sprayed affected surfaces. 8/19 I saw no signs of WPM this morning. It continued to rain through the night. I think I flushed correctly. I went over early this morning and mixed two gallons of nutes at about 50% (except big bloom) and fed the plants. Only time will tell if I have done this correctly. Boy those three mendo breath's are well into flower. This diary is great. It was much easier to look through pictures and entries and figure out the problem so I can fix it. Currently my soil PH is 7.3. I figured after the rain it would've gone down. Now I hope I did these things correctly. I'm counting on these girls ty ls for my medicine for the year. EDIT: PH WAS BETWEEN 6.3 AND 7.3 IN ALL PLANTS. 8/20 First morning in a while that I went to the garden and had nothing to do. I fixed most of the problems that I was previously dealing with. No spots of WPM seen. PH is down in every plant. A couple are still at 7.3. Overall I'm happy and it looks like my plants are too. I think I've dialed things in for flower. Mendo colas are swelling up like crazy and trichome production is beefing up as well. Went back in the evening and the medium was still wet. Smell is strong and trichome production is great. Tiny bit of WPM but I've been battling that off and on. 8/21 Its raining to beat hell outside. When it slowed I went and checked PH. Either this meter sucks or my PH is back up to 7.3 in most plants. Maybe it has something to do with the baking soda I used on the WPM. I'm hoping this rain will continue to flush the medium and bring the ph down. I'll try for pictures later. They sure are purdy. UPDATE: Went back over and took some pictures. Ita kind of cool that those three mendo breath pheno's will be ready long before the slurricane and the mendo f2 and clone. Still a ways to go but it's always nice to have some buds to look at. 8/22 I was under the weather so didnt spend much time in the garden. No watering. Medium will probably need water tomm. Looking good! 8/23 I checked plants this morning and everything was fine. Plants are recovering nicely. I h err ld N off water in hope of rain. Approx at 3 I got a feeling and checked to find a couple plants dropping. The flowering mendos. They eventually needed to he fed so I said fuck it. I mixed the following in a 5 gallon bucket and spread it among the 12 plants (6 tsp big bloom, 2 grow big, 2 tiger bloom, 2 calman, 1 kelp, 1 kango). I also phed another 5 gallon bucket which I used to finish the watering. Hopfully this works out ok. Anyone with suggestions hit me up.

LAST FEED 8/23 8/24 I had a wicked busy day. Humidity is through the roof I noticed some slight WPM come back. I'm getting sick of fighting this shit. I'm going to get a fungicide tomorrow. Those three mendo breath f1 phenos will be ready much sooner than the others. Buds are increasing in density. 8/25 I spotted a couple spots of WPM this morning. It's relatively minor but I went to the store and got an organic spray called garden safe 3 in 1 fungacide, miticide, insecticide. I came home and we were supposed to have showers off and on but I spot treated with it. I looked for lost coast plant therapy but I couldn't find it or get it in a time frame I was comfortable with. Plus I think I may have some random hoppers, thrips or aphids that this may help. I'll watch for any reaction to the fungacide and if things are fine I'll go ahead and treat the entire garden. It's cheap at $5.88 for 24 gallons. I do have some defoliation to do as well. I'm leaving one plant wild but the rest have been cleaned out fairly well. I have lots of work to do though. I added 3 14in extendable plastic arms to open up the flower mendo breath. Also I need to consider MOVING THE 3 LITTLE PLANTS OUT OF THE FENCE FOR BETTER AIRFLOW. I notice slight signs of nute burn on a few plants. Very minor. Plants are recovering great from heat stress. Humidity was 96% this morning though. Hard to battle that. 8/26 Since we got horrible sheet rain last night and I noticed WPM again I used that fungacide. I'll add a picture of the bottle. I hope it will work. I found one small plant in a 5 gal bucket knock over totally. Surprisingly no broken branches. The wind seemed like it wanted to take my whole garden up. Unbelievable. My cousin was there and he said he bet those mendos would be finished in a couple weeks. He looked at them and said the trichs have heads. I noticed that as well. The are some awful frosty buds but they still have pistols reach out. They have trichs with heads now but they won't be ready for a couple to a few weeks. That will be great! Then I could harvest 3 and have more room to work with. I phed a 5 gallon bucket and watered everything but the large one and the mendo in the tub. Larger containers. 50 gallon. I haven't checked the trichs with a real microscope yet but I'm going to be keeping an eye on them. I personally think the buds will plump up quite a bit more. UPDATE: I went back over twice today. I took a few pictures that I will have to upload later as my phone died. I again went over to another plant tipped over totally as the others blow up against the restraints i've made. If these plants weren't strong trees that would be totally uprooted. The wind is so strong it was trying to tear the plants apart! I'm a little worried and I had to add additional support to the mendo breath reveg clone in the 40 gal tub. I put four stakes in the ground and ran rope around it. I then tied rope to the stalk and secured it against a post. It seems like that plant is now leaning on one of the stakes. After everything i've been through this year it would be a real kick in the nuts to lose my garden. 8/27 I went to the garden this morning and surprisingly found no broken branches. That crazy wind was almost uprooting my plants yesterday. They were practically at a 90 degree angle when the wind came around. The mendo breath in the 40 gallon tub got hit hardest. I'm glad I pot those stakes around it and attached a rope. A branch is kind of bracing itself against the post. No major problems and I didn't find much WPM today. I see some dieing leaves but that is common in flower. I have three mendo breath's that I believe will get the chop in 2-3 weeks. I took some pictures today but my phone died so I haven't been able to upload them. I would like to get some close pictures of some of the mendo breath colas. I'll upload what I have later on. I also need to finish defoliating and getting more string and REALLY opening things up to improve airflow and get sun to the inside of the plants. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. 8/28 I am surprised my grow wasnt completely uprooted but I had NO broken branches from the wind. I added more supports where they were needed and watered the entire gallon. I believe 20 gallons was used to water these plants. No signs of WPM yet. I'll keep on top of it. I'm going to try to feed at least the 3 flowering mendos tomorrow. I may feed the whole garden. 8/29 Checked up top for spots of mold and found none. I made one gallon with 1/8 tsp Cha Ching, 1 tsp tiger bloom, 1/2 tsp CalMag, 1/2 tsp kelp and I fed that to the three mendo breath in late flower. The others I went low on the fed as well. I mixed a five gallon bucket up with 4 big bloom, 1 grow big, 1 calman, 1 tiger bloom, 1/2 kelp. I think these dosages are correct but vhf I left the paper at the garden. I'll double check. Slurricanes are flowering now. I'm getting excited. UPDATE: It rained pretty much all day. The type of rain plants love. I hope this just pushed my nutes further to the roots and not flushed them out. 8/30 I've noticed what looks like deficiencies in some plants. Prob because of the change to flower. I've noticed similar markings on other foliage. Very strong wind gusts today. My plants have taken on much worse. I had to add additional supports. Every day is a day closer to enjoying the fruits of my labor. I dont like seeing those huge colas swaying at 90 degree angles though. (Exageration)

LAST WATER 8/28 APPROX 20 GALLONS LAST FEED 8.29 8/31 Went to the garden early this morning. As the sun rose the nugs on the 3 late stage flowering mendos really popped. I've heard and seen many plants destroyed due to this windy weather. I'm lucky and i think i supported the plants well. I removed some WPM and some dying g leaves. I'm hoping it's just a transition and not a lockout. 9/1 Went to water today and wore a corduroy jacket as I slinked by a plant a branch caught on the jacket and I heard a loud "SNAP!". IT TORE THE FUCKING BRANCH TOTALLY OFF LEAVING JUST THE CAMBRIA. I fixed it the best that I could. No one was around and it was early. I put a picture up but I've since added additional supports and zip ties. The plant fit right back together nicely. I hope it will heal. At least it wasnt one of my big ones. I was bragging about not losing branches in the storm and now I break it myself. Smell is strong. I ordered a digital scope should be here September 10th. UPDATE: I went back over at 7 and the plant I broke isnt drooping a bit! In fact if you didnt look for the break you wouldnt even know it was there. Time will tell if it holds. I found more WPM. I treated with organacide on the plants I saw the WPM. 9/2 WPM seems to be doing better. I cant believe it but the broken branch I fixed looks fine! Just like the rest. No wilting at all! I'm super lucky. I asked my cousin about nute lockout and doesnt think I have an issue. He thinks everything is fine. My nute doses are small and I've been using foxfarm for a few years. Hope that scope ships soon. Says it arrives Sept. 10th. UPDATE: Went back over to check the broken plant. Totally fine even with the wind. I'm lucky its located where it is. Plants COULD have been watered but I have prior obligations and it might be best to let them dry overnight. 9/3 It rained last night. I gave the girls about a gallon of extra phed water. I used my digital meter to check my soil PH and the meter read different reads but settled on 7.3 on basically every plant it read. I'm not sure if I need to flush. Could this be nutrient lockout? Or perhaps 7.3 lockout certain other nutes? I guess I have research to do. I plan to feed tomorrow judging by the reaction i get I'll go bu that. The garden has done its stretch and every plant is in various stages of flower. I just need to dial in the tight nute schedule with what I have available. I also need longer stakes to support the larger buds that will be coming. Slurricanes have very small flowers as does that other phenom of mendo breath. But bou arent they bushy enormous plants. I'll try to update later. Getting lots of sun today. 9/4 Beautiful day. Fed the 3 flowering mendo breath's a gallon of 2 tsp big bloom 1 grow big and 1 tiger bloom. Mixed the other nutes in a five gallon bucket of 7tsp big bloom 5 grow big, 5 tiger bloom, kelp me kelp you and 2 CalMag. I'm not too sure I'll use bottled nutes in the future. Things are seeming to burn despite being extremely low doses. In the afternoon I found a nice green Caterpillar rolled up on a leaf. It had actually ripped apart other leaves and webbed itself in. It was large. Not like the small worms moths lay. I have no idea the devastation that could have done. Also found MORE WPM! Different place! Humidity is horrible here. Mushrooms I've never seen even grow here are sprouting up like crazy! I have a fever of 102 and my left lung is really bothering me. I guess this is what separates the men from the boys. 9/5 Sun all day. Didnt water plants this morning. I'll check later tonight. Spot treated WPM last night. None today. Need to spray BT as preventative. After feed saw some nute burn but all plants seemed to increase bud size. Still sick but I'll check again tonight. 9/6 I noticed some WPM on sugar leaves on a mendo bud. I just ripped off any spot I saw. Other than that its dormant. Plants were thirsty but not drooping. I need to do a little more research and hopfully spray BT tonight. Had horrible fever nightmares last night. Woke up with 101.5 which bbn is high for me but I think I'm through the worst of it. UPDATE: I changed all the signs as they had small spots of mold. I also noticed more WPM. The bright sun makes it much easier to see the leaves that had ANY WPM on them so I could defoliate a bit.

LAST FEED 9/7 9/7 Had to remove the branch that broke. Didn't take. We had a huge windstorm that broke another branch cleanly off my largest Slurricane. Still with a fever. Starting the week strong lol. 9/8 Watered everything. The enormous branch that broke was dead this morning. Another branch gone. I bragged about having not broken a branch then I go and break one myself and the wind took another. That wind storm literally almost uprooted my plants. 9/9 There is a hole you can see in my biggest slurricane from that broken branch. Its foggy as hell and I saw some WPM which I spot treated. 9/10 Still sick as fuck but no one else will do my work for me. Watered everything. Did a little pruning and found some WPM that I sprayed. Slurricanes are in full bloom now! Scope should be arriving soon. Rained last night. I walked in and it felt like I got smacked in the face with a bud. 9/11 Found either WPM or baking soda on leaves and a couple bud. I almost bought green cure but it's so expensive. I'm gonna keep an eye on it and go from there I guess. I probably fucked those mendo breath's up spraying organicide. I hope it's just soda. No water today. Scope worked the the trichs I checked were fully formed and milky as shit. I'm just waiting on that amber. 9/12 Watered entire Garden. The second mendo breath phenomes are getting enormous and the leaves are turning purple. Buds are really filling in. The Slurricanes are are looking great. Flowers are very aromatic. I checked trichs with my scope and its cloudy mushrooms. Not much amber. Lots of sunshine today. 9/13 Didnt water. Soil was moist. Lots of sun today. No signs of WPM. I need to check several trail cams. Those 3 mendo breath are very close to harvest. I could've taken one today. Trichs are all cloudy. I may take a sample today. I'm not sure. 9/14 Last nights wind storm broke two branches off my biggest slurricane. The weren't totally broke so they appear to be fine. I added more supports up higher so hopfully things will be stable. I fed everything today. I lost track as my dad had jumped me. If anything the solution would be weaker. Checked trichs and am beginning flush on the three mendos.

LAST FEED 9/14 9/15 I fed yesterday and continued flushing the mendo pheno's that flowered early. Trichs are beautiful!! I'm very excited. I also checked the trichs on my "runt" mendo that I never thought would even make it. The Trichs on it were the furthest along! All cloudy with some amber. I prefer a little more amber but I really needed the room and that tiny plant out of the way. Plus I wanted to try it at the stage seeing it's a clone of the bigger ones. You can't even tell it's missing! Cant wait to see how it turns out. My Slurricanes are enormous and flowering fast. I keep thi king about how much work its gonna be to trim this shit. I also found a couple small patches of WPM in the back. I mixed a gallon of water with a tablespoon of baking soda, dawn and vegetable oil. I'll continue to monitor. 9/16 I didnt water today as the medium was wet. I'll check again later when I check my trichs. The pm wash did good where I used it but I didnt use it on those mendo breath phenomes that are ALMOST ready for the chop. Looks like I'm running yo the store for green cure today. Sucks. I wanted to stay home. UPDATE: Went back over and found some WPM on the top colas that I couldn't see. I had to get a ladder. Anyway I tal kn ed to several growers and I decided to spray it all with the same mix I used on the rest since it seems to work. I'm planning to check tomm and if things are cool I'll be rinsing off that soda spray and yelling TIMMMMBER!! On those mendo breaths. Sorry I've been gone the last few days. I'll upload some pics. We got a frost last night but the girls loved it. I chopped three mendo breath that were maybe 20 percent amber. Once its dry and I can trim and show the harvest I'll update. Watered today. Plants are turning all kinds of crazy colors. That mendo breath turned out amazing! I took the runt earliest and kept some out to dry so I could smoke some. I was incredible happy. Burned with white ash too. Looking through my loop it looked better than the shit i got at the dispo. They only had two kinds though and most of the time i cant compete with indoor but this mendo breath blows the indoor triple chocolate chip I bought away! I cant wait to see what slurricane brings. Still have two mendo breath plants that are a different phenome. I'll take pics tonight or tomm and add them.

LAST FEED 9/14 FINALLY ABLE TO ACCESS THIS SITE AGAIN. EVERYTIME I TRIED IT SAID "UNDER MAINTENANCE" 9/21 Like I said earlier I wacked the little mendo breath and the two other mendo breath phenomes. I used my 1000x scope and it turned out amazing. My girls have had three frosts in a row! They still look like they are going strong! I'm feeling better which is good because that was getting in my way of things that needed doing. 9/24 I know I've been away for a while but I've also been extremely sick the past six weeks. I was also locked out of my account. That little mendo breath runt ended up with about 80 grams dried. I couldnt believe it and that's with the Larfy shit thrown away. I donate to the best dispensary an hour away. It felt good to hear the compliments. I'm feeling better and have rearranged the garden. I didnt water today but I fed yesterday the 23rd. 6tsp big bloom 5tsp grow big 5 tsp tiger bloom 2 tsp calman in a 5 gallon bucket. 9/26 Thoroughly watered all plants. These plants seem to have far more artichokes than the mendo breath I harvested and that shit is fire. I really hope I get at least another month. If not I may be forced to harvest early. Many people have lost many plants after 3 frosts. Weather is good but rain is in the forecast. I need some advice and I need to consult some locals. 9/29 Apparently I cant start a new week unless I label it as harvest. I'll just write here until it's fixed. It rained last night. These buds are really REALLY frosty. 4 frosts already. I've got two days of rain coming. I'm worried about bud rot. Plants are only a couple weeks until they are ideally done. All milky so I could take it now. I've still got a lot to trim and I'm still sick. I think I'll take some tips and branches that looked like the are struggling with weight and harvest some if those. A bird in the hands worth two in the Bush. I'll use my 1000x scope first 10/3 Still not able to add a new week unless I push on the harvest button. I'm not doing that because I havent even trimmed those two huge plants and the dwarf. I dont know how much was there but I will add pictures of the buds. It came out better than I could have ever hoped. Relaxing couch lock body high with ZERO paranoia or anxiety. I compared this mendo heath strain with strains at the best dispensary around and honestly I like my outdoor better. I donated some to the dispo and they came back wanting to buy some lol. This strain helps me with my anxiety and my wife's PTSD better than any other cannabis we've tried. I can tell you off the dwarf that I almost culled I pulled almost 70 grams off! The others I have in pickle sized jars and regular mason jars. I had been so fucking sick though that I've still got two strings across my HUGE barn still full of bud. This strain was a big producer. Buds are huge. I'll take a picture and I'll try to upload the video I took this morning. We've had three days of rain. I checked with my scope and the rest of the girls need two MAYBE three weeks left. I cut off feeding which I dont know if it's the right move but I figured this way I will have a proper flush. I still go there daily and defoliate anything dead and shake off the dead branches. Anyway I'm going to burn one. I'll try to upload the video.
