|»» LOG DISCLAIMER: Not intended as a grow guide. Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 22 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17584.1, Been an interesting week in the garden.. At the beginning of the week, decided to increase the soil moisture level a bit. This was huge mistake.. Upgraded the reservoir and raised the height by 2ft. Also refreshed the lung room’s carbon filter. Bud growth was swelling up beautifully. But growth started to droop so switched the soil moisture back, but it was too late. The damage was already done. By then end of the week, lost TKO.. Heady OG is still recovering, but I think she’ll be okay. There were even issues in the veg tent and discovered that two watering units were malfunctioning. Thankfully this issue was fixed and by the end of the week all mothers are back to looking healthy and are thriving! Also gave away the two spare Heady OG clones and been tending to rest with basic RO waterings as needed. More so on the positive side, finally have all that I need to begin my journey into tissue culture and plan to begin soon! Also, even though TKO was lost in the flower tent (damnit Ensign), she is still alive and thriving in the veg tent! So yea. A lot happened this week. Both good and really bad.. Despite the issues, my ganja journey has still just begun and will continue to grow until I succeed. Everything is impossible… Until it’s not. Anyways. Onwards to next grow week.

This particular pheno grows like a tree in veg and her main stalk is already the thickest of the lot. Nice! --- Also glad the newer moms are rooting and getting larger with healthy growth! The original Garlic Budder #1 mother (front right quadrant) is a stretcher and is already getting pretty tall! --- The Gorilla Goat #1 mom (back right quadrant) is also getting bigger and growth is starting to bush out. She’s still the smallest, but should hopefully start to ramp up with growth soon. --- Let’s go girls! - [16:40]: Both of the remaining clones in the propagation tray (Gorilla Goat #2 and the original Garlic Budder #2) look healthy and don’t need to be watered. --- Also gave away the two spare Heady OG BX #1 clones. Hope both thrive with health in their new homes. --- Thanks sisters! Planters of the trees! Ca-Caw! - [19:42]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! Ah yea! I got Headies!! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are looking healthy and wow buds are swelling up! --- Bud colas are everywhere! --- Since I forgot to take readings last week, going to take them now. - [20:39]: Took the weekly height and light distance measurements. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 51.5" tall. ------ TKO was about 48" tall. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 2.5" away from the grow light (LV5 @ ~390.1W). ------ TKO was about 6" away from the grow light. - [20:48]: Took the weekly general PPFD readings. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was around 916 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 39.57 mol/m²/d under a 12/12 light cycle (LV5 @ ~390.1W). ------ TKO was around 792 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 34.21 mol/m²/d under a 12/12 light cycle. - [20:57]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. --- Plan to upgrade the reservoir by raising it up a bit. This should help to increase the PSI and waterings more consistant. --- Anyways! - [21:05]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 03 - Wednesday - 09/17/25 - Total Days: 157 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 86.8°F [30.4°C] - Humidity: 890.0% - VPD: 0.87 kPa - Soil %: [54, 37, 34, 55, 43, 40, 20, 41] ----------------------------------- - [23:57]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw!!

Since heat has always been the most limiting factor, more water is not always better.. --- Sorry! Please don’t die on me ladies!! ------ [ » SMOKES A FEW BOWLS « ] - [+00:22]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- The veg garden is looking beautiful and growth is looking healthy! --- Compared to the TKO mother (back left quadrant), Heady OG (front left quadrant) is looking droopy, but she’s still green. --- Wow the TKO mom is looking really healthy with huge fan leaves. Beautiful! --- Both the Gorilla Goat (back right quadrant) and Garlic Budder (front right quadrant) mamas are looking healthy and perky! --- The spare clones (Gorilla Goat #2 and Garlic Budder #2) are looking healthy but need watering. let’s go Ensign! - [+00:26]: Here are the starting initial watering ranges: ------ Gorilla Goat #2 » 255.4g → 300.3g ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 256.4g → 300.2g --------- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet] --- Took the starting weight of both clones before watering, ------ Gorilla Goat #2 » 231.2g and was watered 4 days ago. ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 252.7g and was watered 6 days ago. --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted the straw mulch of both cups with RO water. --- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible. --- Misted 10-20 sprays. Waited a moment, then misted again. --- Made sure to reference the watering weights. --- Repeated this process until both cups weighted at least 300g. --- There was no runoff. - [+00:44]: Took the saturated weight of both clones after watering, ------ Gorilla Goat #2 » 325.3g ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 315.6g --- Marked the final wet weight on the back of each cup. Also marked the watering date on the front. --- Placed both phenos back into the tent and back onto the propagation tray. - [+02:06]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 04 - Thursday - 09/18/25 - Total Days: 158 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 87.0°F [30.6°C] - Humidity: 80.0% - VPD: 0.88 kPa - Soil %: [48, 38, 36, 57, 44, 43, 27, 43] ----------------------------------- - [10:22]: Okay time to upgrade the reservoir! --- Going to raise the tank up a bit. --- Purchased and received a generic 2ft tall wooden stool from Amazon. --- Time to start building! Let’s go! ------ [ » ~30 MINUTES LATER « ] --- Alright! Stool has been built and she’s pretty sturdy! --- Also decided to refresh and change out the lung room’s carbon filter. The filter is long overdue because I think this will be the first time in this room. --- Also swapped out the lung room’s carbon filter and changed the orientation from horizontal to vertical. --- Now the carbon filter is resting on the table with the exhaust fan point straight up. The slight downside is that exhaust vent is S-shaped which will reduced the efficiency of the fan, but that’s okay. --- As for the carbon filter, both units are refillable! Plan to refresh the old filter unit with new carbon before the next filter swap out (have a bag of fresh carbon pellets). --- Anyways! Now the tank is 24in higher than it was. Since the auto-watering system is gravity fed, this should raise the PSI slightly more. --- This also frees up some floor space under the table. --- While rearranging the Ecowitt WittFlow units, I discovered an issue with two of the units. --- Both the front left (Heady OG BX1 #1 mom) and back right (Gorilla Goat #1 mom) for the veg tent were malfunctioning. --- Shaka.. When the walls fell.. --- Will check on the veg garden this evening. - [16:26]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Okay! Well the garden looks the green and healthy! --- But now the droopy growth from the Heady OG mother (front left quadrant) is making sense.. - [16:42]: Checked all Ecowitt WittFlow units again for water flow. --- Yep. Out of all six units, two are faulty.. --- Both units are giving false readings. Both are connected to the Ecowitt WittBoy WiFi hub and the app seems to be working just fine. --- But when the valves are on in the app, there’s still no water flow. --- Swapped the batteries out on both units and checked the intake tubing. Even used the manual override to open valve. --- Still no water.. --- Need to order new units later.. --- Shaka.. --- Well until the new units arrive, will need to hand water both moms. --- Let’s go! - [17:12]: Filled a pump sprayer with 4 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto the Heady OG BX1 #1’s straw mulch. - [17:36]: Filled the pump sprayer with 2 cups of RO water. ------ Added a pinch of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto Gorilla Goat #1’s straw mulch. --- Check on both clones in the propagation tray (Gorilla Goat #2 and the original Garlic Budder #2) and growth looks healthy. Also no need to water! - [17:43]: Checked and updated the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 45% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 38% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 35% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 57% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 47% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - TKO] ------ 61% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 45% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 50% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] --- Shaka.. When the walls fell. --- Well soil moisture levels all look great now! --- But looking back at my logs, Heady OG’s WittFlow unit started failing about 14 days ago. Also think Gorilla Goat’s unit started failing around a week ago. --- Damnit Ensign!! --- Even though these entries are literally typed and logged for daily grow reference, I completely failed to notice the soil levels dropping from around 41% down to 20% over the past two weeks. --- Wow. ------ [ » SEVERAL BOWLS LATER « ] - [20:05]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Nice! Well the garden is looking okay for the most part. --- Heady OG is still looking droopy and yet wow buds are swelling up! --- TKO is looking stressed bud buds look okay. --- Both looked way better at the beginning of the week.. - [20:15]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Nice! Received my order from Plants-In-Jars! --- Ordered both the Plants-In-Jars Starter Kit along with the recently released ‘re-animator’ T-shirt! --- The starter kit includes: --------- AGAR [100g] ------ A high quality agar for plant tissue culture applications. --------- BAP [100 mL] ------ A cytokinin that boosts shoot proliferation and cell multiplication. --------- NAA [100 mL] ------ An auxin that promotes root development. --------- IBA [100 mL] ------ An auxin that accelerates root growth, especially in aroids. --------- MS MEDIA [10 L] + VITAMINS ------ A nutrient-rich medium enhanced with vitamins for superior plant growth. --- Aside from the AGAR Powder, have all the products stored in the fridge. --- Over the past two or so months, been slowly purchasing equipment for the journey into tissue culture. --- Now finally have the plant growth regulators (PGRs) along with the agar to make growth media. --- Almost time to start developing a cannabis tissue culture protocol for the garden! --- ‘5 Products, Unlimited Potential.’ --- The ganja journey continues with tissue culture beginning soon! --- Plan to completely fail for the first few batches, but have plenty of veg stock to perpetually keep trying. --- The Plants-In-Jars starter kit also includes access to a protocol library which has instructions for general tropical houseplants. Plan to start and modify from there. Also have reached out to Laur for basic beginner tips and cannabis specific advice for tissue culture. --- Even with all the current grow issues (also had a recent computer failure), getting hyped for tissue culture! - [23:12]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Wow Heady OG is looking better! Sort of. --- TKO is looking stressed. - [23:17]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 48% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 39% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 35% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 56% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 42% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - TKO] ------ 44% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 24% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 42% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [23:19]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- The veg garden is looking beautiful and healthier! --- Nice!

Shouldn’t have increased the soil moisture levels and still can’t believe that increasing the levels by 10-15% was enough to cause TKO to go from green and healthy, to burnt and yellow. --- Since I’m only flowering two plants this cycle, by losing TKO, just lost half the garden. --- Wow. A lot can happen in a week. --- Shaka. When the walls fell.. --- Well at least Heady OG made it through the week and am hoping she survives. --- Anyways, onwards to next. ------ [ » SMOKES SEVERAL BOWLS « ] [END OF WEEK 22]

grow room adjustments this week. plants are now more spread out under a total of 5 600w HPS lights. 3 fastbuds plants have an additional 45w LED light. by week 3/4 they will occupy my whole grow space and an additional 3 600w HPS lights will be added. Plants are looking healthy and 10 or so have been topped for the first time on day 8. dinafem cookies are looking very good in structure. will upload pics every day until harvest! thanks for looking. UPDATE day 12 veg, they are looking beautiful better than i expected. there are 36 in 15litre pots now and i cant wait to make my final grow room upgrage next week and for my room to be looking like a forest! im hoping for 2-3kg off these girls and only time will tell. i will keep doing daily updates until harvest

We are officially in full bloom. The have been enjoying 6-7 hours of sun light per day for about 4 days now, then brought back in under the cobs. The girls are all exploding with growth and stacking what I expect to be huge buds.

1/24 Seeing balls I think :( - Welp - Confirmed they are balls, #2 has them also, not sure if LST caused to much stress or what. To much pride to just kill them all. I will continue this grow concealed in the 3x3. Honestly thought I was doing everything right. Going to leave them together, I got a auto water system to help keep tent closed more often. Doing this for the experience, will deep clean tent and all equipment after. I guess my goal now is to just finish her up, I'm 4 weeks through, going to try to use this bud for edibles, etc. This is for the people who had a hermie, wanted to continue growing it, but couldn't due to there conditions. Here ya go, this will be a fun run. If this isn't a good idea let me know LOL. 1/25 - (early morning) after a little researching and thinking, I think I'll just kill the hermies out. #2 had the same sacks. Going to keep a close eye on #3,#4, but so far they haven't sexed yet, ended up chopping #1, #2 for the better. Done buying cheap seeds, I have went through recommendations to find the best genetics and a more reputable breeder, very soon will start diary on that which I am very pumped for. With 2 of these out now, Planning on putting another strain in with them. I got a little unmotivated experiencing this, but figured rather fix it now then set my self back another 4 weeks. Hopefully we still have luck with #3, #4 will hope for the best! 1/30 - Since chopping #1, and #2 due to them becoming hermie, I definitely lost some motivation on this run. I still have been watering and adjusting canopy with trellis. They have definitely blown up since 1/25, and are giving me much more motivation moving forward. I gave them recharge today. I have started slight LST again but just bending the top cola so it won't grow higher then other colas. I have started another run with Brother Mendel Genetics, and will be starting another grow diary series on them. Look out for it. I do apologize for the late updates, I hope you enjoy the updated documentation. Closing this week out, Definitely had a roller coaster typa week but things are starting to look up. 👉Check out My Instagram for daily updates @Seed2Weed_YT👈 Will Follow Back, Let's Grow Together 💪

Nice flowering stretch time to see some buds soon i guess. It has stretched nicely i guess during the flowering period. I have upgraded the tent size to 1m x 1m x 2m and seems to be better air flow and humidity levels. Also changed the hygrometer to a AirComfort bluetooth wireless monitor which gives great detailed information on temps and humidity as per picture added. Finally pistils have developed cant wait to see bud sites.

Everything is still alive thankfully and smells fuckin tremendous. The pictures were taken on day 49 or 50. I'll probly start flushing some of them over the next week the citradellic are lookin close. They kinda all look close even tho I expected some 70 dayers with the mostly sativa crosses but I gotta get in there and check the trichs.

THURSDAY 11/29: Impressive plants..both of them. Cruella is waaay more sensitive to heat and needs soil with VERY good drainage. She wilts for a few hours every time I water her, no matter how little I give her. I continue to poke and prod it with my moisture probes regularly to keep it from compacting too much for her. Carlotta hasn't given me any problems at all. She's just a little slower, but almost Cruella's equal in size now. I foliar fed a few times and did a photo session. FRIDAY: Foliar fed a few times and tweaked a few things.. They are both spending most of their energy making flowers now...only grew a half inch last night. SATURDAY: Both Cruella and Carlotta continue to stretch. I fed therm with about 1/3 gallon of full-strength bloom nutes today and foliar fed them a few times and re-positioned them. SUNDAY: Cruella's buds are swelling up a bit now. I plucked off most of her burnt-up leaves and she's looking quite sexy now.😋 Carlotta's main stalk and branches have really thickened up. She's gonna be able to support some super-sized colas like her older sister now.👍 I tweaked my ventilation on Saturday and the temps were staying at or below 84, so... I quickly added my other 60w 3500k COB light to the tent..it's and positioned it on the Cookie-twin's backside.. 😎 MONDAY: I foliar fed them today and will again for a few more days, but will probably start rinsing them off with ph'd spring water after that. Their buds are starting to thicken now. TUESDAY: Cruella and Carlotta both appear to have root problems. They look overwatered even when i just feed them a little and even when they are almost dry. I probed their soil very well and they were actually almost dry. I just fed them a tiny dose (12 oz each) of ph'd water with boomerang, kangaroots, calimagic, and some bat guano powder. If I don't see improvement in the next couple of days, I'll assume they are rootbound and transplant them into 5 gallon fabric pots.

Overall, I am extremely happy with the genetics of the Auto Euforia and the general success of the grow. I always like to reflect on mistakes I have made, so let me lay them out here: I overlit the plant during veg, contributing to it's bushy nature. It grew well but this would be a waste of electricity if I was growing more commercially. During the last week of flower, my region of Ontario was hit with tons of rain and humidity. I took some steps to increase circulation of dehumidified air, but lowering 95rh to 65-70rh is still insufficient and I lost some control of the environment. The awful result was the start of mold in some select areas, particularly in the fattest buds and where leaves were cut away and petioles remained. This issue is not due to Dutch Passions great genetics, and is entirely due to a combination of an unseasonable environment and my own overconfidence. This mold was never clearly apparent on the outside of the buds, but I found it will trichomes scouting under magnification. This forced me to speed up the harvest and drying process. It also means that I have had to carefully grade the buds into those safe for smoking and vaping, those mold free but needing a second examination (will be rosin pressed), and those close enough to spots of mold to be only for for edibles. Any moldy bud was of course cut away and will be disposed of. Nevertheless, I have many ounces of fantastic buds, and will be making some nice pressed rosin based 510 cartridges. I will edit the harvest post with more information after the cure, and showing the various processing I will be doing. Happy growing! 🌱

What's up fellow growmies! I hope all is well with your grows! This week progressed like usual, they actually are starting to pre-flower and growing stigmas. Its like clock work with these autos July 1st marked a complete year in growing and each time I've grown autos they always start to transition to flower in week 5/6. Its hard to believe it has been a complete year for me💪🏾 I have gained so much knowledge and received so much help from this community and I really appreciate it. It seems like yesterday I was frantically worrying about everything. Although I have much to learn I think I pretty much have it down to a science. This last year I have grown 4 different strains 2 times each. On my current grow I have stopped obsessing over watering, one thing I am learning is that watering until run off is not really needed, unless you want to test the ppm/ph of said run-off, otherwise you are just wasting water. I start off with 1 liter of water per plant, and as they grow I make my way up to 2 liters. It appears to be the sweet spot especially for the 5 gallon pots, after about 2 liters I start to see run-off in the 3gallon pots I see it after about 1.5 liters of water. I am still using the General Hydroponics Flora Series trio, it has worked well for me. I always mix what the manufacturer recommends per gallon into a 3 gallon sprayer, so I am giving 1/3rd of the recommended dosage out of fear of nute burn or lockout. I performed LST on both Big Bud Auto plants, and one of my White Widows, the other 2 White Widows I am letting grow naturally. Stay tuned and Happy Growing!!!! 🤘🏾🤙🏾💪🏾

Had to cut. Open house through my apartment for 4 hours/day every day basically until it sells. I'm keeping them hanging in the window until the tours come through, then they go in a paper bag in a bin under my bed and I burn incense. It went ok today. I just used a microscope and they're both pretty early. This one has mostly cloudy trichomes with some clear and very few amber. The White Widow has a lot of white hairs that aren't even through growing, and the trichomes aren't really there as much either. Certainly not glowing white with resin. It's a shame I had to cut early but I think it will still be some good smoke as long as I can keep if from going mouldy.

We moved on to the second week. The root has already reached the end of the pot. I am amazed by the root development. I did not expect such a big root and I think it could have been transplanted a little earlier. On the twelfth day, he moved to a 22.7 L pot.

11/09/2024 La croissance se passe bien . la plante est vigoureuse et repond tres bien a l entraînement. Je viens de couper les apex pour une seconde fois avant la mise en flo je devrais l avoir realisé au minimum 4 fois. Elle a tres réagi au rempotage dans son pot definitif. Un peu tot pour elle .Mais le rempotage devait etre réalisé en meme temps que les autres filles.

Week 7 – Day 51 (BT27) A quiet week for RedPure#4 – mostly just watering, observing, and removing an occasional leaf 🍃 The stretch seems to be coming to an end. Height is stable at 40 cm, and space is still manageable 😅 Her buds continue to swell and look very promising 🍇 However, the drain pH remains low at 5.7, which might explain some of the issues she’s showing. After some digging, I suspect the combination of BioBizz soil and Advanced Nutrients is the cause. BioBizz relies on microbes for pH buffering, unlike Plagron or Canna, which use dolomite lime. On top of that, I’m feeding the microbes with Bud Candy – which likely lowers the pH even further 🔬 📌 Takeaway: If you're using Advanced Nutrients, a substrate like Plagron Growmix or Canna Terra might be more compatible. With BioBizz, the pH in runoff stays constantly low despite using water with pH 6.6. RedPure remains the most sensitive strain in the tent – but also one of the most aromatic 🌸💜
