Spring 2020

5 new clones: Vanilla Frosting Rozay Rainbow Punch Mimosa Staples OG Humidity dome and humidifier used this week. 24 hour light indoor with 600w LED light. Nutrients are 1/2 of the recommended "light feeding" with General Organics Bio Root.

Added 4 more strains at the end of week 1 all from Dark Heart Nursery: The Bling Do-Si-Do GMO Cookies Banana Mango This is the end of week 2 and everything looks great. Height ranges are from 7" to 14" 24 hour light with 7 hours being outdoor in the shade and the other 17 hours indoor. Nutrients are 1/2 of recommended "light feeding" of Bio Root and Bio Grow both by General Organics.

Up potted 8 out of the 9 plants and did a straight distilled water feeding without nutrients. The Bling has yet to be up potted. Nutrients will resume with the next feeding. Nutrient feeding is a combo of Bio Root, Bio Grow, Bio Weed, and Diamond Nectar all by General Organics/General Hydroponics. I have followed the "light feeding" recommendations for each this week. No signs of nute burn. The have also been transitioned from 24/0 lighting to 22/2 for two days and today is the second of 21/3. Every 2 days I will be adding an extra hour until they are at 16/8 and can remain permanently outdoors. Minor bugs have appeared (just 1-3 of each kind) including thrips, aphids, and fungus gnats but I have used a combination of diatomaceous earth, neem oil, and BT to kill them off. No major infestations have occurred.

Plants have been exclusively outdoors for the final two nights of week 4 All nutrients are "light feeding" on the label. Nitrogen toxicity has shown the beginning signs so the next 3 waterings will be without nutrients As before, minor bugs but 1 spray each week of Neem, BT, and Diatomaceous Earth keeps the bugs at bay There was a 2 day heatwave this week (92° & 96°) and humidity has been on the low side (30-40% RH) Next and final up pot will be somewhere around 23" to 33" for each plant. Probably in 2 weeks DISTILLED WATER 1 ppm / 6.7 pH: The Bling - 14" 1140 ppm / 6.1 pH *GMO Cookies - 19" 1360 ppm / 6.2 pH *Staples OG - 17" 1330 ppm / 5.8 pH Vanilla Frosting - 23" 654 ppm / 5.8 pH Do-Si-Do - 17" 1440 ppm / 6.0 pH Rainbow Punch - 17" 1270 ppm / 6.1 pH Banana Mango - 16" 1700 ppm / 5.8 pH Rozay - 19" 1660 ppm / 6.0 pH *Mimosa - 19" 1530 ppm / 5.8 pH * = Got mixed up. Could be wrong

Plants are outdoor only now. No supplemental light. No nutrients this week due to Nitrogen toxicity. Probably 1-2 more weeks of no nutrients. I added yellow sticky paper to the mix to deter bugs and it has worked well with Neem, BT, and Diatomaceous Earth. Still no bug issues June gloom has set in. Mostly from morning until about 12-1pm daily with the occasional full day overcast weather. All plants were up-potted to their final container (13 gallons) DISTILLED WATER 11 ppm / 6.9 pH: The Bling - 22" (+8") 1510 ppm (+370) / 6.4 pH (+0.3) GMO Cookies - 29" (+10") 780 ppm (-580) / 5.8 pH (-0.4) Staples OG - 26" (+9") 1170 ppm (-160) / 6.2 pH (+0.4) Vanilla Frosting - 31" (+8") 1780 ppm (+1126) / 6.8 pH (+1.0) Do-Si-Do - 29" (+12") 992 ppm (-448) / 6.3 pH (+0.3) Rainbow Punch - 22" (+5") 1040 ppm (-230) / 6.1 pH (+0.0) Banana Mango - 26" (+10") 1680 ppm (-20) / 6.8 pH (+1.0) Rozay - 26" (+7") 1520 ppm (-140) / 6.7 pH (+0.7) Mimosa - 28" (+9") 1070 ppm (-460) / 6.1 pH (+0.3)

No nutrients this week due to Nitrogen toxicity. Half the plants will get nutrients again during the next feeding. I topped for the first time above the 8th node Still no bug issues June gloom still has a couple days a week. Mostly from morning until about 12-1pm daily with the occasional full day overcast weather. There were 3 gloomy days this week.

Nutrients resumed this week. All the plants got nutrients. Light feeding for Thrive Grow (due to previous Nitrogen toxicity). Heavy feeding for the other nutrients. Plants seem to have responded well to being topped. Some plants are now outside the greenhouse due to their branching out and getting wider after topping. Still no bug issues June gloom seems to be gone. No morning marine layer anymore and there was 1 gloomy day this week. Very bottom layer of leaves are yellowing/browning and dying off. Assuming due to lack of light due to canopy. Hoping it's not nutrient related. Will find out next week.

Second week of nutrients being resumed. All plants got nutrients. Light feeding for Thrive Grow (due to previous Nitrogen toxicity). Heavy feeding for the other nutrients. Greenhouses were taken down because plants have expanded outward after topping. Plants were on a 5-day feeding cycle but was changed to 4-day this week due to their size and the July heat. Still no bug issues although some plants have nute burn. Next year I will not supplement nutes until week 5 or 6 due to Fox Farm already being a hot soil. June gloom is gone. It's hot and windy. Bottom layer of leaves are still yellowing/browning and dying off. Definitely due to lack of light because of the canopy.

Tap water from the hose this week. No plants got nutrients. Will be switching to the Bloom nutrients next feeding. Plants are on a 3-day feeding cycle now due to the heat. Some grasshoppers have shown up. I've caught 3 of them so far munching on the plants. Bottom layer of leaves are still yellowing/browning and dying off. Definitely due to lack of light and Nitrogen toxicity.

Distilled water this week. No plants got nutrients. There's a lot of leaf curling with all the plants most likely due to Nitrogen toxicity. Not sure if I'll be adding nutrients anytime soon. Plants are on a 2-3 day feeding cycle now due to the heat. Plants have been trimmed for flowering. Bottom layer of leaves are still yellowing/browning and dying off most likely due to Nitrogen toxicity.
