1st day 5th week of veg.......Bushing out well still got a little space to fill before allowing them to shoot up only a week or 2 away from flipping the reefereshers plant to flower as it will double to triple the length in the flower phase ... had issue with air flow as was only using a circulation fan . So I have installed a carbon filter and black orchid extractor fan and a temperature n humidity sensor so hopefully that helps ..... The 2 autos are coming along great in the tent atleast 3/4 branches off both of them .I've used lst on both of them tieing the tops down and allowing more light penetration to the lower canopy .... The autos are 1x critical x northern lights auto 1x cash crop auto (northern lights x big bud)

4/13 10TH planet is doing phenomenal under those aerogarden lights. I'll wait a little bit then I'll bring them over with the others. I'm comparing the growth to the growth of the mk ultra and the chem dog as they are of a more similar age. I watered the 2 mk ultra and the chem dog #4. The others looked alright so I'll check later on. The three in the middle will probably be culled. The may recover but if they don't it doesn't really matter. I'll have what I need. I'm super excited for this season. I shouldve done more 10th planet. The "kush" seedlings are starting to take off. The leaves are finally starting to get bigger and they are developing new growth. WENT BACK OVER AT 1:30. PLANTS WILL NEED TO BE WATERED IN THE MORNING. ONE PLANT WAS DOWN TO 199 GRAMS BUT IT HAS A LITTLE LESS SOIL IN THE CUP. THEY ARE GROWING AT A MORE RAPID PACE AND I DONT WANT TO INTERRUPT THAT. OTHER CUPS WERE LOW BUT NOT READY TO BE WATERED. I THINK EITHER WAY IT WOULD BE FINE BUT IM ERRING ON THE EDGE OF CAUTION. I MAYBE SHOULDVE WATERED THE DRY ONE BUT HINDSIGHT IS 20/20 AND I KIND OF WANT THEM TO BE ON A SIMILAR SCHEDULE. I GRABVED A TACK AND CHECKED THE DRAIMAGE IN THE BOTTOM. I ADDED A FEW MORE HOLES OB THE BOTTOM SIDE. I MAY JUST HAVE TO JUNK THAT MIDDLE ROW OF 3 I STRESSED BY DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE LIGHT MANUAL SAID TO DO. OH WELL I PLANNED FOR THAT WITH THE 2 MK ULTRAS AND THE CHEM DOG #4. ALL ARE DOING GREAT. SOME OF THE SOECIAL AND PINK KUSH ARE GETTING THEIR TERTIARY SET OF LEAVES SO THEY ARE PULLING OUT AND GOING TO TOWN. THE ITHER ONES (MK ULTRA, CHEM DOG, 10TH PLANET) THAT DIDNT GET STRESSED SEEM TO BE GROWING AT A FASTER RATE. I THINK I MIGHT TRY AN AUTO THIS YEAR. I HAVE A FEW BEANS. ILL THINK ABOUT IT BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE FRESH WEED HALF-WAY THROUGH THE SUMMER. 4/14 WATERED ALL THE KUSH WITH A SHOT GLASS. THEY WERE VERY DRY. ONE WAS IN THE 180'S. I FOUND THAT ONE OF THE PLANTS THAT WAS STINTED HAS FALLEN OVER AND WAS LIMP AGAINST THE CUP. I IMMEDIATELY REMOVED TGE TWO SEEDLINGS THAT WERE BY FAR THE WORST AND I ASSUMED I WAS LOSING. I TOOK THE PEAT PELLET OUT AND THE TAPROOT HAD BARELY PENETRATED ONE AND HADN'T PENETRATED IT AT ALL ON THE OTHER ONE. IM NOT USING THOSE PEAT PELLETS AGAIN. ITS WIERD. I'VE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. PLANTS SEEM TO BE DOING GOOD. IM CONSIDERING STARTING ANOTHER SEED OR TWO. MAYBE AN AUTO. Edit. I added mykos amd happy happy frog to the 10th planet in the solo cups. They are already to the top. I watered them with a shot glass of water amd some mykos. 4/15 I added soil to the top of the cup on kush plants and watered them with a shot glass. It seems like I may need to up the water as it's only lasting about a day. I'm seeing some slight stretching but I have no idea why. They are just seedlings and it's a 150watt hps light! Last year I used 2! I think they needed to stay under the cfl's a little longer and thatci nightve stressed them prematurelyremoving some helmet heads. Or maybe they are having problems breaking through the pear netting. I'll tell you one thing im NEVER using peat pellets again. I have other seeds and autos I could start if needed. I have what i need but if I lose a few more I'll be pissed. Maybe better to startca couole more. Those 10thvplanet are doing amazing and blowing past everything else. They look so healthy. I'm going to download a light meter on dad's iPhone and get some readings with all the different lights today. 4/16 I was able to download a FREE app for a light meter. Apple has one bit you have to pay for readings of any of the "good" lights. I had a very hurried morning and didn't take any pictures. That one special kush that was burned like the other two I threw away (or damaged when I removed the helmet head) is starting to look like it has some NEW growth. I've kept it but a little ways away from the others. I weighed all cups and they didn't seem to need water. I AGAIN packed dry soil into a cup to get a reading. Still 200. When they get within 10 grams of dry weight I'll water them. I measured and found I had the light further away than it should be. I lowered it to approx 3ft from the top of the canopy. I'll try to map the area and see what I'm getting for results. Then I'll plug in my L.E.D and see what I get. I only lowered the light because readings (that may be inaccurate) say it's not enough and two years ago when I used this light i used two. That is unnecessary I think for seedlings. I'm just trying to get them through seedling phase intact so I can move to veg and switch my light. Transplantvinto one gallons. This is where patience comes in. I'm sure everything will be fine. I just am a worrier. 4/17 I used that light meter to check the ppfd. It says it should be between 100-200 but it was only reading at like 65 and this was after I lowered the light. I'd need to go down a ways to get anywhere close. I tried to check my l.e.d and that was low so I can switch back fine. Especially with the light meter app. However the plants seem to be doing better and have tertiary leaves so I'm hesitant to change things when they seem like they are having a growth spurt. I may take the 2 mk ultras and put them with 10th planet since they are doing so good. Won't let me upload pictures. WATERED ALL THE KUSH WITH A SHOT GLASS. EDIT: WENT BACK OVER AND USED THE PHONE APP METER ON THE LATEST IPHONE. I LOWERED THE LIGHT RO A LITTLE UNDER THREE FEET. THAT GAVE ME ABOUT 100-120 ON THE HOTTEST SPOT AND LESS FURTHER AWAY OBVIOUSLY. IM TAKING THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. I MEASURED ME 100 WATT LED AND WITH BOTH SWITCHES ON I CAN REACH OVER 100 EASY FROM FAIRLY FAR AWAY. ILL BE MONITORING GROWTH AND DECIDING HOW TO MOVE FORWARD FROM THERE. I TOOK THE DOMES OFF THE 19TH PLANET BUT THE LEAF TIPS STARTED TO CURL. THE NEED TO BE HARDWNED OFF. THE CFL WAS TO CLOEE AND BRIGHT BUT MORE SO WAS THE RH OF THIS BUILDING WHICH IS PRACTICALLY NOTHING. ILL HAVE TO MOCE THEM WITH THE OTHERS. UNTIL THEN I POKED HOLES WITH A TAC ALL OVER THE DOME. THAT WAY IT CAN VENT A LITTLE BIT. I'LL SLOWLY ACCLIMATE UT TO THE LOW RH INDOORS BEFORE THE GO TO THE 100RH OUTDOORS LOL. 4/18 Didn't water this morning because things were over 20grams dry weight. Came back around one and weighed and most were within the 20 grams. One was under 200. I can see more growth since the light adjustment but I still see some stretching. But I've seen noticeable growth in a short period. I'm contemplating waiting to see what happens for a few days or to just switch to my l.e.d using my meter as a guide. Even though the box tells you how far to hang it. I'm bringing the aerogarden over to the grow tomorrow. I have a few more as well. I'm going to check that with the light meter and am considering putting the mk ultras and maybe the chem dog under that. I mean those are doing great. I poked more holes in the dome and have been exposing the plants to low rh and increased light. They don't have immediate effects anymore. I have the domes popped open too. They are gett9ng acclimated. Realistically I'm wondering if I should just pop more 10th planet or mk ultra or an auto but looking through my other diaries things will be fine. I worry to much and I usually grow clones. Outdoors. Plus most of my stuff was stolen so I'm making use of things the best I can. My money is going into good soil. I also checked the temperature at the hottest spot under the light and it was 80 degrees. This is telling my I can't really lower my light anymore. I've got some thinking to do. EDIT: 10th Planet has done well all day without a humidity dome in this extremely low rh. I'm going to bring them and the aerogarden to the grow tomorrow. I have my l.e.d setup to test. I plan to use the light meter to see what is closest to the correct ppfd. A lot of it will be gut feeling too. I'm interested to see the reading on the new aerogarden bulbs. Those seedlings are doing awesome. 4/19 Didn't water this morning I don't think. I was hurried. Got back and found one seedling that had been growing some bigger leaves just flat on the cup. Luckily I had noticed it drooping (should've watered) and picked up a straw on the way home. It weighed 180 grams. Everything was low and I MAY have watered yesterday bit I don't think so. With this hps so close its bringing the temp up to 80. I checked the cfl aerogarden lights. Wow are those bright! I had to raise them to get in range. I put the mk ultra and chemdog under the aerogardeb light. It's about 300 bit it has a couple hot spots that bring it up to like 4k-5k. The 10th planet's loved it though and did great. I held my hand over the plants and it seemed ok. Now for the hps light and the pink kush and special kush #1. I put my tatu 100 watt (1000 watt equivelant lol) 248ns above the seedlings I had just watered. Since that hps dried everything out so much I gave them 2 shot glasses. I'll keep monitoring things. I feel like this is the best bet for me. If I fuck something up I'll have to pop more 10th planet and mk ultra ect. But I've got to make sure things are in the right range. If it stretches a little I'll just have to repot it a little sooner than the others. When they outgrow the solos they go to 1 gallon. Tomorrow I'm picking up AT LEAST a bag of fox farm ocean forest so I'll be ready for transplant when necessary. I need to get all my pots together and bring the other hps to my cousin to fix. However when they get bigger I might just use the l.e.d AND the hps if I had too.

Day 15 / 15.04. For the start of week 3 of Veg I decided to transplant the plants into their final 15l autopots. Because I only have space for 3 plants I threw out the runty Super Lemon Haze plant. I transplanted all of them into BioBizz Biomix and sprinkeled mycorrhizae on the roots. I watered them in with 300ml of nutrient solution at 6.5 Ph and 1.1 mS/cm TDS. The VPD has now reached 0.8 kPa. With the transplant I also switched the small light the plants were under to the Mars Hydro TS-3000 on 20% brightness. This means plants' DLI has been bumped up to about 20 mol/m2/d. Day 17 / 17.04. The big light has blown the third relay of the smart system in a row. This means lights turned on about half a hour late today. Day 19 / 19.04. Today I topped all of the plants at the fourth node. I initially planned to top on day 21 but they did not experience any shock from transplant so I got to do it today. Day 21 / 21.04. For the end of week 3 veg I filled up the autopot reservoir and turned it on. I'm expecting some even greater growth now.

03/13/2021 Side branches are developing nice, I may do a little more lst to help lower tops to catch up before flowering starts Ps. Couple videos uploaded Day #6 doing some bending, and broke a branch off so I dipped in rooting powder,threw it in some vermiculite soaked with Bonide Garden Rich Root & Grow 4-10-3 with (IBA) Lets see if she will root! Fingers crossedπŸ™

01/06 - Week 5 of flower - Increased nute feed to daily micro-dosing and increased Silica feed - temps running 72 (F) 65% humidity - Using light brown sugar as carbohydrate. 01/08 - Flowering coming along nicely - Light brown sugar for carbohydrate subs seems to be working effectively - micro dosing has continued with one morning feed before lights out and another 2hrs after lights on. Feeding solution temps are approximately 35 (F) - Drop in water feed temps has increased trichome production. 01/11 - Closing out week 5 of flower strong - light brown sugar feeds continue - amber color setting nicely in all the colas - Approx 3 to 4 weeks before cut-downπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ

Very easy plant to harvest, didn't have too much leaves, so very easy to take out fan leaves and prepare to dry.

Plants took a tumble while I was at work and came home to everything laying on the ground like a robbery. I also learned that my plants wasn't burning but in fact when the tree hit the deck the 33C heat and the roof torched the leaves. The vertical growth is slowing as it only grew 4" in the week so far, next summer hopefully I will use 20 gallons and not 12. Just solid knowledge for next year as I wanted all 3 tree to hit around 6ft after the stretch and all the training. Lost a few main branches on this plant so idk how realistic 1.5lbs is at this point

They're behind the Jack Herer but at least the ladies showed up to the party at least! I have named them Shasta and Sky. They both have made the journey towards the light. I am maintainin a 21-23 C with around 67-75% RH, and with all 3 beans now popped, I am very excited about this grow day 5 of germination. Temp: 21.5c RH 75%. The sunset sherbert autos x2 (total 3) are also freshly emerged, and for now the SF-1000401h Evo 100W will be powering the babiesd, swapped out for the Mars Hydro FC-E1500 150W (+complete adlite set). later on this afternoon. Spider Farmer's 6L humidifier with sensor is doing a great job, and so is the dehumidifier , both are operating fine in the 70x70x1,60 tent. Air flow at 25% on a 4" inline fan with 204CFM. Light at 30% at 18 inches. No Adlites in operation. Let's quickly review the key new components I've planned to integrate or have already: Circulation Pump - Adding this to the 14L Mars Hydro reservoir will ensure even fresh, circulated-for-a-miniute-every-hour, batch of water (and later nutes) to the auto-drip system, maintaining optimal feeding for my plants when I am away, next week. Biobizz & BioTabs Supplements - These organic nutrient and microbial products will provide a comprehensive and balanced feeding regimen for my plants. Auto-Drain Potted Plant Stands - The wheeled, auto-draining stands will simplify watering and prevent any spills or overflows. Inkbird Humidity Controller - Pairing this with the Spider Farmer humidifier and dehumidifier will allow me to precisely maintain the ideal VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) levels. LST Clips, Trellis Net & Shelves - These will help me maximize my grow space and optimize the plant canopy for optimal light exposure. Pest Control Strips - An important preventative measure to stay ahead of any potential pest issues. Smart Soil Sensors - The Zigbee-enabled sensors will provide vital data on soil moisture, temperature, and more, which I can monitor remotely. Air Purifier/Ion Generator - Ensuring my grow environment has clean, high-quality air circulation. With all of these elements in place, combined with my existing setup and the automated control via the iGrow app, I'm truly creating a "hands-off" grow operation. (theoretically, with a bro, coming to phiscally check too)....The ability to monitor and adjust key parameters remotely while I'm away in Italy. Running on Sunrise/set mode(18/6) over the "seedling" scene, in iGrow app, keeping track of DLI and later on, the Adlites will come into play. Temp at 23.5 and RH is at 60%

SONG OF THE WEEK: Joyner Lucas - I'm not racist πŸ‘ˆ play it twice 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ------- Day 72 - The ladies are packing nice nugs , the supercropped one is looking like she still wanna produce new flowers and new pistills 😁, the nugs are hard , really hard and smelling a sweet mango/exotic flavor but it's stealth as you have to be close to smell it. The "christmas three" one is more sensitive to high RH and a bit of mold were removed out of 3 spots so it's fair to say that she's not really strong in front of the others but the buds are hard rocks and smelling really good like mango & sweet all around the garden 😍. The last one got the nicest bud structure , likes tons of little calyxs stuck together but she's also the one with less smell. ------ Day 73 - 21.09 - 27 days left before the harvest so today will be their last feeding with Greenhouse Hybrids powder to have enough nutrients for the last days before tap water on day 76/77 then a full flush on day 80 until day 100. The Ec were 1.45 before my PK boost and 1.62 after with 6.4 PH for that last feeding 🌺🌹 ------ Day 77 - Last day of the week , they start to yellowing a bit , the next flush will hopfully increase the yellowing process to get naturally rid of the chlorophyll. Pictures Next weeks πŸ‘‰ 23 days left before harvest πŸ™Œ

Again a very uneventful week. All muted were removed from the mix and only cannazym and boost were given until Wednesday and then only RO water.

This is all I want to grow, and that says a lot, trust me
