Overall I enjoyed this grow and learned a lot about living soil. Going for a slow dry, trim, then at least a one month cure. Hopefully another six days and I’ll update with a dry yield. My next batch is already cooking but with 5 gallon pots. 03/25 - Day 7 Drying B & C are done drying and have been in jars for a day now with RH ~60%. Total 3oz from B & C. Total 1.5oz from A & D

This is going to be a scattered Summer, as I have had enough with plants being stolen from my property 2 years running. So I am sharing Pheno's this summer with Friends and Family, throughout this local area... My seed-gathering hit a spectacular spell this winter, and there are simply not enough years left to grow all of the Treasures I have acquired. And there are some juicy specimens. For the purposes of maximizing a single diary, I am going to check in with and keep a loose running diary on these 8 selected Phenotypes. They are all going to be following a set routine, unlike any previous grows. Pre-loading the soil in the outdoors location will be the Norm, it’s something I have never done. Using specific Soil Amendments and Mulch applications will be new ground for me, as these are all proven and successful steps to take, in producing Nutrient rich Soil and a fully developed plant at harvest. People: I love talking with people here on G.D., such as those right here and many more; DeFharo, LegacyMarketFarm, Roberts, DissNoof, HighRoller909, Ferenc etc. (I know I should have your name right here too lol ) Thanks everybody for the words & assistance in the past and I'm sure you will all hear me Squealing when/if the shit hits the fan. I feel this is already on its way to be a wonderful experience this summer. Mostly this will be grown in the boonies, virgin ground on the edge of a certain Farmers Field, with the Farmers consent. And the path he has cleared for us... Just put the 30+ seeds in water a couple days ago, all the seeds in Dirt within 48 hours of each other. We'll see which ones make it and which ones get replaced... awaiting sprouts to Pop through, I wanted to get this set-up and have it waiting. Sending out Best Wishes to all the Brothers n Sisters getting ready for a Big Summer. - Mar 25th a.m., 21 of 40 have sprouted... by Noon there were 24/40 and the obvious ones with Open leaves... had their first Foliar mist at lights out. Kelp Meal is next to be added to the Foliar. Will wait for a bit more development & participants Mar 26th, Lots of activity overnite as Now, 35 of 40 seeds have broken through Mar 27th - Foliar Mist @ lites-out (a.m.) Foliar pH = 5.9 - transplanting healthy plants into 1 gal pots starting tonight as they are ready - Soil in the 1 gallon Pots will be the existing mix with the agitated addition of Azomite, Kelp Meal, “2 oz of old dried-up weed” and some diluted RapidStart - a week ago today, 33 seeds were put in water. Another 7 were added the next day… its a nice way to wrap up germination-week up. Still a few seeds in that crazy survival mode… alls good though - finishing Germination week tonight by moving this gang into 1 gal pots. - pre-soaked next soil ahead of Transplanting; 1 gal h2o pH 6.3 ~ 36 - 40gal soil - DynoMyco introduced to Bulk Soil and mixed well. Each seedling will have it sprinkled on its roots and into it’s destination pot (1st time using it)

Day 29- First day of Week 5. Topped all 4 plants today. Plants growing great! Noticed a "skin or film" on the stems that looks like it's shedding. Watering with spring water 1 gallon pH-6.5 @ 72° F. Sprayed water on the tops and bottoms of the leaves as well. Day 32- Watered a tiny bit, but ran out of water. Day 33- Wateres with 3ml/gal of cal-mag and 1/2 tsp/gal of recharge. Plant C has brown spots. Day 34- Plants have some weird colors but still growing good. First day of 18/6 light cycle.

Both are doing great! Finally got the temperature and humidity corrected enough that the plants are stressing less, and i also increased the lights back to 200W after 5 days. I think they're large enough now to handle more light - going to increase the light slowly over the next few weeks as well. No other issues - haven't had to add much nutrient solution or anything really... ph is super stable in both reservoirs as well. All that being said, I know the reality is that i'm going to run into a bunch of issues now that i've said i haven't yet.

Very impressive vigour with this strain. Now that the roots are expanding and water activating nutrients, between week 3 & 4 is where I would expect to see exceptional growth. Very happy to date. I will have to select topping or LST sometime this week to keep her on par with the others.

4/30 Week 2 Some discoloration, moved light up. Most likely be ready to transplant in a couple of days, color good Slowly increasing nuets Leave them here a while. 5/1 Pic 5/3 TRANSPLANT DAY! Time to move her, her roots are three inches beyond the garden bag and her veg growth has kicked in. Roots are very white, very strong and very long. Transplanted into 5 gallons of prepared/buffered/triple washed coco and 40% perlite. Pot soaked well with goodies to get things going quickly, she has some catching up to do 😏 5/4 Pics She is thriving! 😎 5/5 Pics Almost doubling in mass every day 5/6 Pics Added Silicon and increased Grow nuets slightly She has tripled in size this week color is good and stems are strong.

April 10, day 21, the Euforia is starting to take off. Lots of branching that will need to be trained low and wide to fill up as much of the 6sqft space as possible. I turned on my second HLG 100 light to bring the lighting up to 200w. I did this to make sure as many of the new branches have light as possible, as some of the fan leaves have grown is very thick and the plant is quite stocky. I raised the distance of the lights as I don't want to overdo it with the second one running and the internodal spacing is already tight. I pushed up the EC slightly without any issue, so 1.4 is around where I will stay through veg. I also have allowed the PH to range lower as I am less concerned about cal mag issues at this point. Fertigations will continue to be 1x per day untill the roots spread more and the coco dries quicker. Then it will be up to 2x or 3x per day as needed. April 12, day 23, the Euforia is growing well, while remaining very tight and bushy. I did some minor LST tying two dominant side branches down to start opening up the plant, but will need a bit more height and growth before I can continue with more areas of the plant. April 13 day 24, lots of vigorous growth and the LST is working to expose more new growth to light for this very dense little plant. Increases fertigations back to twice daily, for 20 second watering intervals. The 26 seconds of watering was barely producing runoff now that the plant is larger, so this increased watering should help keep the coco well flushed even when the plant is significantly large. April 15, day 26, removed some leaves blocking nodes and lower growth that will never develop. I don't like removing leaves when I don't have to, but the plant is growing in thick enough there needs to be more room for growth around the center of the plant. Also performed some more LST and leaf tucking. April 16 day 27, LST widening the plant and opening up the center to new growth. Removed a few leaves as needed. The Euforia is growing well and I am hoping that by the end of the flowering stretch it will take up the majority of the tent. One topmost branch that was growing in thin after the FIM had to be removed while still fairly young. It's connection point seemed so thin it made the branch extremely fragile, and I decided I did not want the risk of it falling off after spending a lot of energy on bud production that could be spent elsewhere. When taken off I could confirm that it was around 1mm of the branch that was actually connected to the main stock, which just isn't enough. I will keep this in mind for the future in terms of FIMming vs topping. RIP lil' branchy.

May 31st Everything is looking good after the LST from last week, I said I was going to swap them into flower and I realized that I should wait another week or so as they will be going into a new home so to speak. Updates coming next week for that. Doesn't look like to many PH issues anymore or whatever was happening but the plants seem a bit happier now June 1st I Figured today would be a good day to do a bit of defoliation on these girls in order to get some more light down to the newer growth. I didn't take a ton off as you can see, but for the size of the plant I suppose it was a decent amount. I read somewhere that a general rule of thumb is only defoliate roughly 30% of the plant at most. I'm not to sure if it is true but I tried to stay within that general rule. June 2nd, I decided since I would have them in veg for at least a little while long I would top them again. After topping I gave them some water and nutrients. I know I said I would do straight water for the next one but I went for it anyways as it seems the flowering mixture may be giving it some deficiency's. So I gave them the recommended feeding for heavy veg growth. I gave about 3L to the bigger plant and around 2L to the smaller plant (as it was still a bit moist but it wasn't damp). My crappy soil tester was saying my soil was at around 8PH so I figured I would aim to feed around 6ph. With the small amount of runoff from the smaller plant I did A PH test and the PH seemed to be around the 4.5-5ph area. My liquid ph meter arrived broken so I am waiting for the new one, therefore I am using the general hydroponics liquid test kit. I presume my soil ph is lower then the water I have given seeing as it went from 6ph water to around 4.5. Next feeding I will aim to feed at 7PH. With the defoliation I just made sure that the tie downs were decently tight still and moved what I thought needed to be moved. June 3rd,4th Not a ton to update on. I didn't get any pictures for these 2 days. June 5th Some obvious problems going on with the bigger plant. I am guessing it is the PH issue but I am still unsure. The one browned leaf I accidentally squished in the tie down while I was low stress training it so it got a bit damaged. Other then that the plants are growing decent. Im not sure why I didn't have more pictures for today but I mainly took problems of the problem areas. June 6th Not much going on still. They are still just hanging out not doing to much. It was a busy work week so pictures in general were a bit lazy. I will try to get more for the upcoming weeks. Big news for next week!

Can't report too much this week because I was on vacation. The person who watered them for me made a video for me though. I've had some major issues with wasps munching my plants at night. Took a while to find out what it was, but they only seem to do that in a certain life phase. Spoiler: it's over, they stopped after 2 weeks. My purplematic never went into that typical early flower stretch. I have no idea why. But the buds are getting quite bulky and I tried to space them out as well as possible. She turned very very black and seems quite healthy. I'll give them another week on fish mix and then switch to bio grow. They seem to be doing quite well on this way of doing it and I'm having zero issues with early flower nutrient deficiency
