Germination
4 years ago
Started Feb. 07 to Feb. 17 (11 days of Germination trying to get the seeds up to relatively the same stage) Only used distilled water during germination process. Started Germination in shot glass of distilled water. Switched to paper towel method after 24hrs. 3 popped 2 Glookies 1 Moby Dick. I went to pop one more Dinafem Moby Dick I labelled the seeds G1 & G2 for Glookies and MD1 & MD3 for Moby Dick (MD2 did not pop!)

This week in the garden we fought early deficiencies with foliar feeding, snapping and dropping of my girls, powering up the second light, and transplanting. 02/25- Nutes PH-5.87 TDS-444 EC-888 275mL/4 ~ G2 & MD1 seem to be doing fine despite one snapping in half, and the other one being choked out by the seed membrane 02/26- Finished the sitting nutes off 250mL/4 2hr45mins late ~ Foliar Sprayed with AN Sensi Calmag Xtra@2mL/L sprayed the plants with my gallon sprayer and snapped MD1 in half again :( 02/27- New Batch Nutes 2mL/L PH-5.71 TDS-596 EC-1192 ~ Light foliar spray right b4 lights out with a smaller better misting spray bottle this time. My EC jump was pretty high but I felt I could get away with the jump. MD1 seems to be okay but leaning hard. 02/28- Nutes PH-5.68 TDS-585 EC-1170 400mL/4~ Went to switch their runoff tray to get readings and dropped them. MD1 luckily landed sideways. G2 and MD3 ended up side down :( Fixed them up and fertigated again to settle everything back into the solo cups. Damn I am a bad parent :( 03/01- Finished sitting nutes 375mL/4 ~ Just feeding and taking it easy no need to stress them out any more. Everyone looks okay from what I can tell. 03/02- New Batch Nutes 7.6mL/3.8L PH-5.81 TDS-509 EC-1018 1900mL/4~ Pre-fertigated 2gallon fabric pots with 1900mL after using tap water to get the volume of wet medium I wanted in the fabric pot. Transplanted them all then fed another 475mL each. I also turned on my second light. With this much fertigation I should be able to have my humidity in the tent where I need it to be. Readjusted the lights to be 24" above grade of medium. 03/03- New Batch Nutes 7.6mL/3.8L PH-5.77 TDS-506 EC-1012 1900mL/4~ Foliar Sprayed again(Just b4 Lights Out) seeing sign of early calcium deficiency again might pump the foliar feeding up to once every two days. G1 and G2 look a little angry after the transplant while MD1 and MD3 look like they bounced right back and are vigorously healthy. All in all the garden is still going decent.

Had an explosive week of growth after transplanting. Finished off the week with a topping, defoliation, and HST. Should have to transplant again soon b4 flipping to flower. 03/04-Nutes PH-5.81 TDS-513 EC-1026 1900mL/4~ Day after transplant all seems fine with just a slight bit of early calcium deficiency. Our foliar spray tries takes care of that. 03/05-Nutes PH-5.66 TDS-622 EC-1244 1900mL/4~ Foliar Fed the 2mL/L of AN Sensi Cal-MAg Xtra solution at lights out. Rotated and switched the plants positions. Also I raised the lights to be 24" from plants height instead of from medium grade level. 03/06-Finished sitting nutes 1900mL/4~ Just a feeding today all looks well. 03/07-Nutes PH5.74 TDS-614 EC-1228 1900mL/4~ Tried to use tap water to make nutes to save $ on distilled water or to stop me from looking into RO systems. My tap water to start is PH-7.73 TDS-150 EC-300. The tap water nutes read @PH-6.35 TDS-839 EC-1678. This was not applicable so I made a batch with distilled and forgot to up my nute dosages so I missed out on a little bit of growth :D Foliar Fed as well today with 2mL/L solution. 03/08- Nutes PH-5.72 TDS-622 EC-1244 1900mL/4~ Will up the nute dosages ratio from 2.5mL/L to 3mL/L of AN MGB. I use a 1 gallon pressure sprayer to feed manually atm. 03/09- Nutes PH-5.64 TDS-710 EC-1420 1900mL/4~ Foliar Fed today with 2mL/L solution. Deciding on what to do? In regards to training the girls. 03/10-Finished sitting nutes 1900mL/4~ Topped them all! Defoliated heavily on MD3 and G2. While only defoliating selectively on MD1 and G1. I left more big fan leaves on Md1 & G1 and only left 1 on MD3 and 2 on G2. Gave them all some chiropractic treatment as well (slight HST super cropping) Gonna have to wait and sees what happens. Also I can see the roots growing out from my fabric pots. Looks like I will have to transplant again, which hurts because that means even more distilled water for my fertigation. Really trying to put that effort in for a successful harvest!

Transplanted this week with some HST and now they are ready for the flip. 03/11-Nutes PH-5.59 TDS-757 EC-1514 1900mL/4~ A site I HST snapped off from the Foliar Feeding with the AN Sensi Calmag 2mL/L solution. Noticed spots or burns on MD3 & G2 which were the two I heavily defoliated. I guess that's why they say don't strip all or almost all the fan leaves they are the solar panels. Also gave a bit more HST chiropractic treatment because they perked back up and bunched together again. 03/12-Nutes PH-5.59 TDS-715 EC-1430 1900mL/4~ They bounced back after the cut and training. Need to get this slight deficiency or burn in check. Transplanting tomorrow. 03/13-Nutes PH-5.66 TDS-709 EC-1418 7600mL/4~ Transplanted from 2 gallon fabric pots to 5 gallon ones. Foliar Fed twice, once at lights off and again after feeding and transplant. 03/14-Fed sitting Nutes 5700mL/4~ Foliar Fed at lights out. Moby Dick drank a bit more than Glookies. 03/15-Nutes PH-5.61 TDS-672 EC-1344 3800mL/4~ Bought a 5gallon bucket to mix nutes. Made 16L today of 3mL/L ratio of AN MGB. Giving one last HST chiropractic treatment before we flip to flower. 03/16-Fed sitting Nutes 3800mL/4~ Foliar twice today once at lights off and once after feeding. Defoliated very selectively. 03/17-Fed sitting Nutes 3800mL/4~ Foliar fed twice again today. Last day I am foliar feeding. Last day of Veg cycle.

Flipped to flower! This week we faced daily minor defoliation and high humidity. 03/18-Pre-made Nutes 3800mL/4~ Flipped timer for lights from 18-6 to 12-12. Adjusted the light 18" from canopy. Switched/Rotated plants and positions. 03/19-Nutes PH-5.77 TDS-684 EC-1368 4750mL/4~ Removed some undergrowth on all 4. 03/20-Pre-made Nutes 3800mL/4~ I defoliated a little yesterday, It doesn't even looked like I touched them at all. Can see a bit of the "flower stretch" 03/21-Pre-made Nutes 3800mL/4~ Got milk crates to try to and rig up an easy runoff catcher, but they will not work due to size and height issues within my tent. Need another 6" fan to help with circulation and high humidity. Minor Defoliation. 03/22-Pre-made Nutes 3800mL/4~ Installed new carbon filter as I was smelling the girls more and more outside of the tent. Defoliated lightly. Readjusted light due to flower stretch. 03/23-Pre-made Nutes(1/2 gallon)PH-5.94 TDS-715 EC-1430 *Nutes(5gallon)PH-5.78 TDS-698 EC-1396 3800mL/4~ Getting bushier and taller everyday. Seems like there is always something needed to be defoliated daily. 03/24-Pre-made Nutes 3800mL/4~ End of the first week of flower. My humidity is killer. Opened a side vent to help with that.

This week we battled high humidity. We made a runoff platform. All while struggling to keep the plants nice and defoliated. 03/25-Pre-made Nutes 3800mL/4~ Jerry rigged runoff platform. Raised light again to ensure 18" from plant canopy. Defoliated some, just keeps getting thicker and taller. See roots out of 5 gallon fabric pot so I feel better about the las transplant! 03/26-Pre-made Nutes 3800mL/4~ More selective heavy defoliation. Going to leave the tent open to help reduce humidity and will buy a second 6" fan for circulation. 03/27-Pre-made Nutes 3800mL/4~ Haven't bought the second fan and humidity is still way too high(Like me of course JK) 03/28-Nutes PH-5.78 TDS-695 EC-1390 3800mL/4~ Minor defoliation. 03/29-Pre-made Nutes 3800mL/4~ Minor Defoliation. Needs a major one to reduce humidity and help with circulation. 03/30-Pre-made Nutes PH-5.93 TDS-715 EC-1430 3800mL/4~ Finally installed a second 6" fan in tent. 03/31-Pre-made Nutes 3800mL/4~ Seem to have eaten less due to the heavy defoliation. I will keep them cleaned up from now on. Humidity seems to be reduced by 6% but will monitor this more closely.
