Hello growers!
Fo' Twenny's back with another grow diary!
This time, we are running amothrr strain from a breeder not listed here in Grow Diaries. The stats and photos look good. Let's hope she lives up to their marketing!
I hope you'll follow along and see how this one turns out. If it's good, I may need to try more strains from Dank Genetics!
The deets:
There are 21 plants in the veg tent, right now. 17 photoperiod seedlings, 3 autoflower seedlings, and an auto in mid bloom.
Started in Jiffy peat pellets with Roots Organics 707 filling the Solo style plastic cups under and around the peat pellets. The soil was top dressed with .25 tsp of each: Azos, Mycos, and Re-Charge. Let's go microbes!
Update 8/14: Germination was a success. We have a happy healthy baby girl! 👶🏼 At least, she better be, because she's supposed to be feminized!
Thanks for stopping in and checking out my diary!
8/17 update:
Welcome back to my garden! Thanks for following me on this journey!
It has been 9 days since sowing this Sour Lemonaid seed. There are currently no apparent indications of stress or deformaties. She started with smaller cotyledons and leaves but has a nice thick stem.
Feeding with .2 ml/gal of RapidStart and .2 ml/gal of SuperThrive, Adjusted pH to 6.5. After adjusting pH add .25 tsp of recharge.
Thanks for stopping in and if you get a chance, check out a few of my other diaries and give me a follow.
Happy growin', happy harvestin', and happy tokin'!
Peace, ☮️
Love, 💚

8/26 update:
Welcome back to my garden! Thanks for joining me and this little Sour Lemonaid seedling bred by Dank Seeds.
It has been 18 days since she was sown and she is growing very quickly! She is a nice shade of green and appears to be happy regardless of growing some deformed leaves, she is otherwise healthy and growing quickly.
Feeding with .5ml/gal of Blue planet Gold Shield Potassium Silicate, .5 ml/gal of RapidStart and .5 ml/gal of SuperThrive, Adjusted pH to 6.2. After adjusting pH I added 1 tsp of recharge.
Thanks for stopping in and if you get a chance, check out a few of my other diaries and give me a follow.

9/5 - Day 27: She had a few deformed leaves after she sprouted, but has since started putting out some nicer leaves. I defoliated the twisted/deformed leaves and she is looking much better! She has been growing a bit slower than the rest, and when I took a closer look, it looks like she has 3 sets of leaves coming from one node. Check out the photos! Today, I transplanted from the 16 oz solo cup into an 8" tall one gallon Active Aqua 6" x 6" Square Pot. I innocculate at the root zone using .5 tsp Mycos from Extreme Gardening .5 tsp Recharge. I sprinkled some White Dutch Clover seed around the top of the pot for a cover crop.

9/7 - Day 29 - Due to her being a runt, I did not top and defoliate as I did with most of the plants in the tent. Other than being a little behind the others, she is looking really good! Hoping she will be ready for defoliation in a couple of days.
9/9 - Day 31 - Still not ready for defoliation, gave plain pH'd water today.
BAD NEWS:
Half of the blue diodes have gone out in the TMLAPY light. This light was actually gifted to me shortly after a friend purchased it from Amazon and realized it was too small for their space. It seemed to be serving it's purpose well for vegging photos and running bumper crops of autoflowers but it failed only four months after the warranty period ended! Weak-Sauce! Welp, looks like it's time to upgrade the 24"x48" tent to Samsung LM301H boards. I ordered a 320w straight single piece heatsink with 3 boards from Geeklight. I went with the 3k spectrum and switchable UV/IR since all my autoflowers bloom under this light.

1 Part - Fox Farms Ocean Forest
INGREDIENTS: Aged forest products, sphagnum peat moss, earthworm castings, bat guano, fish emulsion, and crab meal.
1 Part - Roots Organics
INGREDIENTS: Perlite, Coco Fiber, Peat Moss, Composted Forest Material, Pumice, Worm Castings, Bat Guano, Soybean Meal, Alfalfa Meal, Fishbone Meal, Kelp Meal, and Greensand. Also contains beneficial mycorrhizal fungi: Funneliformis mosseae, Rhizophagus intraradices, Septoglomus desertícola
.5 Part - Wiggle Worm Soil Builder Pure Earthworm Castings
.5 Part - Ancient Forest Humus
.5 Part - Coarse Grade Perlite
Inocculated by mixing 1 cup of Extreme Gardening Mycos
Watered with pH 6.5 h2O
1 Tsp/gal Real Grower's Recharge
1 tsp/gal Hi-Brix Molasses
2 tsp/gal Fox Farms Kangaroots
9/16 - Day 38: This cultivar is looking really good! I did notice some white blotches on a few leaves as well as several other plants in the garden. I'm not sure if it's just water spots from my helper's carelessly watering causing water spots from the Nutrient solution or the start of a PM infection. Never really dealt with PM, but decided to spray them with some serenade. I also sprinkled with a little more White Dutch Clover seed on top soil.
9/17 - Day 39: I installed the new 320w GeekLight in the 24" x 48" veg tent.
GOOD NEWS:
I upgraded the 24"x48" tent to Samsung LM301H boards. I ordered a 320w straight single piece heatsink with 3 boards from Geeklight. I went with the 3k spectrum and switchable UV/IR since all my autoflowers bloom under this light. $306 USD after all is said and done. It took 9 calendar days to ship from China.

__________________________________
9/20 - Day 42 (Technically the last day of week 6): Feed! 🚿 She has not yet been topped because she took a little time to grow out of some deformities early in her life. She had 3 leaves coming out of one node and since has been growing uneven internodes. Very close internodal spacing. See pictures. She's a beautiful deep shade of green and has very nice, large, healthy leaves!

9/23 - Day 45: Feed! 🚿 She is about 4.5" tall now and had been one of the slower growing cultivars in the SOG. Regardless, she's healthy and really starting to take off. Her color looks a nice deep shade of green. I can already visualize the beautiful colors when she begins to fade. I can tell by her color she will have some nice purple hues showing as she ripens. She has a nice solid foundation and her structure is nice with very close internodal growth!

WEEKLY SUMMARY:
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
🙋♀️Fo' Twenny here!🙋♀️
I want to welcome you all back to another update on our 😳🍋 SOUR LEMONAID cultivar bred by Dank Genetics! If you're just joining us, we have had this Indica/Sativa (breeder does not specify percentages) photo-dependant cultivar vegging SOG style in our 48"x 24" VIVOSUN tent with 20 other plants for several weeks now.
She has been one of the slower growing cultivars in the tent but she is starting to pick up some monentum. I have been doing a lot of heavy defoliation and pruning the past few weeks in an effort to create a nice foundation to send into flower. I topped her just above the fifth node, leaving a small nub to help minimize the possibility of stem splitting later. I also made a few upgrades in the bloom tent moved a few of her other tent-mates into the 8'x4' bloom tent running a 12/12 schedule. However, I decided to give this little lady just a bit more veg time!
Also, I realized my BlueLab Conductivity Meter has the option to switch to EC. Since EC is the most accurate way to measure the nutrient concentration in a solution, I will now be measuring and reporting EC readings rather than PPM.
Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome.
Now, for the weekly break down!

10/1 - Day 53
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
🌿 EXTENDED VEGETATIVE CYCLE 🌿
- While the majority of her tent mates have been moved to bloom, I have decideded to let her have an extended vegetative period for a few reasons. First, I just topped her. Second, I would like to see her get just a little taller before going into flower. Last, but not least, I ran out of premixed medium. I have since mixed more medium, and will transplant in a week or so, depending on how she progresses.
📸 PHOTOSHOOT! 📸
👩💻 UPGRADE! 👩💻
- In the 96" x 48" bloom tent, I added a BOTANICARE 48" x 48" low-tide flood tray on top of six 4" tall cinder-blocks with a low-profile motorcycle oil-pan for the water to drain into beneath the flood tray.
🚿FEED DAY!🚿
She received approximately 16 oz of nutrient solution. I mixed 12 gallons of solution for all the plants I have running in this SOG.16 oz of that was then measured and fed to this cultivar.
👩🔬NUTRIENT SOLUTION👩🔬

🙋♀️Fo' Twenny here!🙋♀️
Back with another update on our 😳🍋🥤SOUR LEMONAID cultivar bred by DANK GENETICS! In case you're just joining us, last week we decided to give this photo-dependant Indica/Sativa hybrid (breeder does not specify percentages) cultivar an extended veg period and decided to keep her in the 48"x 24" VIVOSUN veg-tent to grow a little larger before flowering. She has been growing steadily since. This week we transplanted and moved her to the 96" x 48" VIVOSUN flower tent under a 12/12 lighting schedule!
Observation: Ever since I upgraded the AC and have been maintaining lower temps, I notice that don't have to water nearly as often. Used to be about every 3 - 4 days, and now, its closer to 5 - 6 days. The White Dutch Clover may also play a factor here. I do mist the top of the pots with 1-2 oz every day to every other day with plain water to keep the White Dutch Clover happy.
Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome.
Now, for the weekly break down!

🌱 TRASPLANT DAY 🌱
- I transplanted this cultivar into a black 12" tall 3.4 gallon 12" x 12" Active Aqua brand square pot. I inserted a 3' fiberglass garden stake into the center of the rootball near the main stem of the plant to have as a support during late flower when sone larger buds my fall over. The stake goes to the bottom of the 12" pot. She has a nice solid root ball due to being slightly rootbound. Following transplant, I watered with a light feed solution with pH adjusted to 6.5.

🙋♀️Fo' Twenny here!🙋♀️
Back with another update on our photo-dependant Indica/Sativa hybrid (unspecified ratio) cultivar, 😳🍋🥤SOUR LEMONAID cultivar bred by DANK GENETICS! She started off a bit slow, but she's really starting to pick up steam! Once she overcame her minor post germination stunt and started growing, I could tell she was going to be something special. I am not sure what the proper terminology is, but she has an odd growth patrern. Nodes are uneven or alternate. She has nice thick stems and average, maybe slightly above average internodal growth. The breeder photos of this strain look quite impressive and I am really looking forward to watching her progress through flower. Stay tuned to see how she develops!
STRATEGY: To keep our SOUR LEMONAID cultivar and her White Dutch Clover cover crop hydrated between feeds, every other day or so (as needed), she gets about 4 - 6 oz of plain filtered water pH adjusted between 6.2 and 6.6. This is sprayed evenly around the top of the medium using a 32 oz ZEP Professional sprayer. This has allowed me to minimize feeds to about one a week eliminating the need to mix my reservoir twice a week. Since she is mid stretch, I am keeping defoliation to a minimum, no more than 5-10% of the plants foliage in a week. I am only removing lower shoots that will only end up yielding larf as well as mature fan leaves (my definition of mature fan leaves: petioles of 1.5-2" and typically below the top three nodes of a growth shoot) that are facing inward towards the main stem. Next week will be focused more on those fan leaves that are excessively shading neighboring plants along with the lower leaves on any shoots left on the plant. Typically, the first 2-3 nodes of smaller growth shoots yield much smaller nugs. That said, on any remaining smaller growth shoots, I plan to remove those lower leaves and bud-sites early. This will also help with airflow and light penetration. I will not trim more than 25% of leaves per week. I actually stay closer to 15-20% per week or less while in flower, depending on the cultivar. I'm practicing some very light LST techniques. GENTLY bending stems to encourage even well-balanced growth intended to open the plants' center up for even light penetration and airflow. The goal is to evenly balance her growth within her 1'x1' footprint and avoid crowding herself or others.
Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome.

🙋♀️Fo' Twenny here!🙋♀️
Back with another update on our photo-dependant Indica/Sativa hybrid (unspecified ratio) cultivar, 😳🍋🥤SOUR LEMONAID cultivar bred by DANK GENETICS! I am trying a new format for the weekly summary portion of my diary. Let me know what ya'll think!
👃 AROMA: She smells faintly of citrus and herb but not very pungent at this point. It's still early in flower, so her terpenes are not very noticeable yet. I am excited to experience the evolution of her terpene profile as she progresses through flower. One of my favorite aspects of growing cannabis is how much these plants change from start to finish and how much variation is possible with this plant.
❇️ BUD STRUCTURE: Her buds are just starting to form. She has bright white pistils shooting out from small clusters of calyxes. It's still very early, and anything can happen. As always, I am going to stay optimistic about this girl. Sometimes the little ones pack the biggest punch!
🎨 Color: She is a nice healthy bright shade of green with green calyxes.
🌿 STEM, STRETCH, & INTERNODES: She is starting to stretch quite a bit. She's got nice thick stems and internodes are a bit on the longer side.
✂️ TRAINING/PRUNING: I have continued selective defoliation as needed to avoid crowding herself and her neighbors. I remove no more than 25% of foliage at any one time, and usually closer 10-15%. I space out defoliation with a minimum of 3 days between sessions, in most instances. There will be exceptions to that, but it's a good rule of thumb I try to adhere to. She has been trained to have 6 main shoots and I am using LST techniques to gently bend her stems to evenly fill her space without overcrowding.
❄️TRICHOMES/RESIN PRODUCTION: Resin glands are starting to develop all over her buds. She is just getting started, so we will keep an eye on her to see how she develops.
🚿 WATER/FEED: I have continued with a light bidiurnal misting of White Dutch Clover cover crop . This, in conjunction with running lower temps (New AC), has seemed to have drastically increased feeding intervals. My plants are needing much less water than in previous runs. I typically give the whole SOG one feed per week with light watering of select individual cultivars as needed between feeds. I try my best to "read" my garden. The amount of water between feeds depends on how soon the next feed will be. I feed the garden as a whole and this run I have been generally spacing feeds out about 4-6 days when the the first plant shows beginning signs of wilt (slight droop of lower fan leaves).
📝 OBSERVATION/NOTES: She doesnt appear to have any signs of stress, deficiency, or toxicity. She looks very happy and healthy!
Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome.
Now, for the weekly break down!

WEEKLY SUMMARY:
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
🙋♀️ Fo' Twenny here! 🙋♀️
Back with another update on our photo-dependant Indica/Sativa hybrid (unspecified ratio) cultivar, 😳🍋🥤SOUR LEMONAID cultivar bred by DANK GENETICS! This cultivar is really starting to stretch and develop trichome coated buds that smell of lemon and gas. This should be one to get excited about!
Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome.
Now, for my weekly notes!
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
👃 AROMA: She smells sweet lemon and gas.
❇️ BUD STRUCTURE: She is just starting to develop small bud clusters that are covered in resin glands. Her pistils are long and vibrant white.
🎨 COLOR: She is a nice healthy vibrant shade of green. Currently, there are no indications of her developing any exotic coloration.
🌿 STEM, STRETCH, & INTERNODES: She is starting to stretch quite a bit. Her internodal spacing is beginning to increase and her stem is thick and sturdy. She has a moderate tendency to grow side branches.
✂️ TRAINING/PRUNING: No changes in my pruning strategy. I have continued selective defoliation as needed to avoid crowding herself and her neighbors. I remove no more than 25% of foliage at any one time, and usually closer 10-15%. I space out defoliation with a minimum of 3 days between sessions, in most instances. There will be exceptions to that, but it is a good rule of thumb that I try to adhere to. She has been trained to have 6 main shoots and I am using LST techniques to gently bend her stems to evenly fill her space without overcrowding.
❄️TRICHOMES/RESIN PRODUCTION: She is getting frosty with resin glands all over her calyxes and many of the upper fan leaves. She is just getting started and already looks like she will be very potent.
🚿 WATER/FEED: I have continued with a light bi-diurnal misting of White Dutch Clover cover crop. I typically give the whole SOG one feed per week with light watering of select individual cultivars as needed between feeds. I try my best to "read" my garden. The amount of water between feeds depends on how soon the next feed will be. I feed the garden as a whole and try to spot-treat outliers as needed. This run, I have been generally spacing feeds out about 4-6 days when the first plant shows beginning signs of wilt (slight drooping of lower fan leaves).
📝 OBSERVATION/NOTES: She does not appear to have any signs of deficiency or toxicity. No indications of stress, disease, or pests. She appears to be happy and healthy.
