I absolutely love to watch them grow! Especially that moment they hit their first growth spurt. I started with RO water that is remineralized for drinking purposes. The ppm is only 18! My tap is 156! So considering they don’t need much water, I’ve been stealing some of our drinking water. The RO water starts at pH of 7. After I add the nutrients, ppm of 249 @ pH of 5.8 while soil is still sweet @ pH of 7 I think my days are off as a new week begins on the last day of the previous week. I am going to leave that for consistency. 04/21 - Noticing some possible nutrient issues with the Fruity Pebbles for several days now. Going to see what she needs. Up front I’m thinking maybe just a super small amount of Amino Acids with a little Epsom Salt. Maybe she is struggling to access the nitrates from the neem cake. IF it’s a issues with nitrogen. We will see. Maybe she would benefit from some extra calcium?… Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Day 22 and I am noticing how these girls have been burning up a lot of potassium lately, dealing with the wind and sun 💨 ☀️, getting pushed around all day. I plant to top dress with some Kelp Meal pretty soon. Day 24 -> 4/22/22- a quote from the weather on today’s red flag warning and dust storm warning. “ HAZARD...Less than a quarter mile visibility with damaging wind in excess of 60 mph. SOURCE...Satellite imagery. IMPACT...Dangerous life-threatening travel.” I’m keeping the girls inside today. Day 26, I was planning to check the runoff on some of these girls, especially the fruity pebbles, however I messed that up as I also top dressed WAY too much of the seaweed bliss. So I flushed with plain RO water at pH of 7 until there was only slight coloration in the runoff. I didn’t check the runoff as a lot has changed with all that flushing. So next watering/feeding I will make sure I check the runoff on multiple plants. So the seaweed bliss with its 17 on potassium, seems to be the most likely culprit for why there is a bronze-ish color on the inside of the new growth. Hopefully a foliar feed of Epsom salts can correct the problem. Inside tent, lights on LOW. Noticing similar pattern in all of them to a degree, most noticeable in the fruity pebbles.

Let's talk about our Jealousy girls from Zamnesia Seeds. We have one Jealousy (1) at 15 weeks and another Jealousy (2) at 14 weeks. Jealousy (1), nicknamed 'the first,' has been on a water-only regimen for two weeks now. For the past three days, instead of regular watering, we've been adding ice to her pot to give her a little stress. Meanwhile, Jealousy (2), or 'the second,' is still enjoying her nutrient diet with TDS at 1800 ppm and pH at 6.2. However, Jealousy (1) has started showing signs of yellowing leaves and around 30% of her trichomes have turned brown. We're planning to harvest Jealousy (1) by the end of the week on March 3, 2024. As for Jealousy (2), she's still growing strong!

Hi guys So day 6 of the flip and the screen is nice and full I will now let the nodes and bud sites stretch up, connecting autopots up tomorrow with just water for a week, I had to wait as needed a new air pump for the resivour. Blue cheese is a bit droopy also due to them needing water but have perked back up now. I raised the lights as I noticed the purple stems so obviously to much wattage set on the light. I am changing nutes to shogun for the autopot system, hence just the water for a week. On the whole looking good but a long way to go.

Date: 07/04/2024 Illumination Activated! Anticipating your contemplative response 🤔, it is evident that a larger vessel is imperative for her growth trajectory, considering her current confines within a 19L container. The imminent requirement calls for a spacious 60L receptacle, especially for accommodating the root expansion of this 100% sativa cultivar, akin to cultivating three distinct plants. Rest assured, I am diligently addressing this necessity. My cognitive acuity now far surpasses any previous state, a veritable testament to heightened clarity and focus. Maybe more common sense than my pervious brain dulled 😑 Mid-day: The Train of Disframe I am perplexed by the presumptions some individuals harbor about their own identities, a realm from which I am keen to distance myself. I exemplify the valor to be met with disdain. I abstain from soliciting your allegiance or appreciation towards my creations. Subsequent to the fruition of these cultivation endeavors, their merit shall resonate independently. Should you be inclined to express admiration and allegiance, it brings me joy; conversely, indifference does not perturb me. My aspiration transcends superficial accolades; I envision forthcoming cultivators beholding my endeavors with awe akin to stargazing. "I have the courage to be disliked I'm beyond it" - End of Story 08/04/2024 I find myself amidst the transition to the flowering phase of cultivation, a process I previously jestingly referenced. In humbled reflection, I seek divine forgiveness for my momentary lapse in candor. In pursuing optimal nourishment for my botanical charge, I have meticulously curated a regimen involving the gradual escalation of Sensi Bloom feed to a maximum dosage of 4ml per liter, attuned to the specific needs of the plant. Embracing the role of a discerning steward, akin to a 'Plant Whisperer,' I am dedicated to orchestrating a harmonious symphony of growth and vitality within this verdant realm. 4inch Extractor Fan installed. "The Recurrence Vid" In the compelling narrative title, the strain Forgotten Haze Cakes, classified as a pure Sativa, luxuriates in ample space for vertical expansion during the inaugural fortnight of transitioning phases, courtesy of the employed cultivation methodology. By delicately leaving the initial set of lower big fan leaves, it'll anticipate discourage within the plant from branching and proliferation. In the vibrant realm of my sativa tent, where the verdant sentinels of growth flourish under the radiant canopy of light, a unique challenge presents itself – the absence of a means to monitor humidity levels. Despite this limitation, my steadfast dedication to the well-being of my botanical charges remains unwavering. As the sativa strains bask in the nurturing embrace of their environment, enveloped in a tapestry of vibrant hues and resplendent foliage, I adapt my stewardship with a blend of intuition and experience. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ⏸️ ▶️ "HUMIDITY" + "HUMILITY" = MILITARY! - This saga; can NOT , continue in the Military realm of Sativa" In the captivating narrative of cultivation, where the seeds of growth are sown with care and nourished with intention, a poignant reflection emerges – the distinction between "humidity" and "humility" reverberates with profound resonance. Within the intricate tapestry of botanical stewardship, the ethos of humility stands as a guiding principle, shaping the ethos of caretaking and nurturing. However, as the whimsical wordplay unfolds, the realm of the military - a stark and regimented domain - starkly contrasts with the delicate intricacies of the sativa realm. The sativa tent, with its vibrant tapestry of growth and vitality, thrives in a sanctuary where the essence of humility permeates the air, fostering a symbiotic relationship between caretaker and plant. Yet, the rigid confines of the military realm, with its structured hierarchy and discipline, stand in stark juxtaposition to the organic fluidity of the sativa's journey towards botanical magnificence. In this divergence of paths, the saga grapples with a fundamental incongruity, a dissonance that renders the blending of military precision with the ethereal essence of sativa cultivation an untenable pursuit. As such, the narrative must veer away from the militaristic paradigm, embracing instead a narrative that celebrates the organic harmony and symbiosis that defines the cultivation journey within the sativa realm. With reverence for the intrinsic beauty of growth and a deep-seated appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living beings, the saga pivots towards a narrative that honors the essence of humility, nurturing, and respect that underpin the art of cultivation. Through this recalibration of focus, the sativa tent emerges as a sanctuary of growth and renewal, where the ethos of humility reigns supreme, guiding the journey towards botanical excellence with grace and wisdom. In this realm where empirical data gives way to intuitive guidance, I rely on a finely tuned sensibility cultivated through years of tending to these green companions. Attuned to the subtle cues and nuances of their growth patterns, I navigate this uncharted territory with a blend of caution and ingenuity. While the absence of direct humidity readings may pose a challenge, my keen observation and intimate connection with the plants allow me to discern their needs with a heightened sense of awareness. As the delicate ballet of growth unfolds within the confines of the sativa tent, I embrace this unique opportunity to deepen my symbiotic relationship with Forgotten Haze Cakes. I will adapt my Military training skills with attentive care and a deep-seated understanding of their botanical language, I strive to create an environment that nurtures their flourishing without the aid of conventional metrics. This journey of cultivation, guided by intuition and nurtured by experience, embodies a union of art and science that transcends the boundaries of empirical data, fostering a connection that transcends the limitations of instrumentation. Feed Schedule ATM: 3.5.5ml/L = 66.6 Currently drinking 6L/24hrs 09/04/2024 Effective immediately; all photos taken during the flowering stage must only feature the plant with the lights on. Exceptions may be made in the case of serious incidents or issues that require documentation with the lights off or during mid-day. This protocol aims to ensure consistent monitoring and assessment of the plants' growth and health during this crucial stage. Thank you for your cooperation and adherence to this new guideline. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// - "The Singularity Expansion" - The Singularity Expansion in the realm of my botanical cultivation practices embodies a concept of unification and harmonization. Through meticulous research and thoughtful contemplation, I have elucidated a methodology that leverages singularity as a guiding principle. At the outset, the elements of my grow technique may appear disparate and disconnected, akin to a fragmented mosaic. However, as the cultivation journey unfolds, each component seamlessly converges towards a singular, coherent endpoint, transcending the initial chaos to manifest a harmonious and bountiful fruition. Singularity serves as the transformative force that orchestrates the convergence of diverse elements within my cultivation process, culminating in a cohesive and synchronized outcome that epitomizes unity and balance. 10/04/2024 ...... as the lights illuminated the verdant expanse of my botanical domain, I meticulously undertook the task of adjusting the colas. Engaged in a strategic battle of balance and precision, I ensured that the lush growth on both the left and right sides of the scrog remained impeccably level......currently still in PROGRESS of this battle! - "In navigating the realm of visual representation within my botanical narrative, a distinct dichotomy emerges between the untreated authenticity of unedited photographs, characterized by a vibrant green hue and crisp clarity, and the studio-enhanced counterparts which exhibit a washed-out white palette. Delving deeper into this juxtaposition, I find myself strategically oscillating between these two visual paradigms, recognizing the nuanced interplay between natural realism and heightened studio effects on my S23 Ultra device" - https://youtube.com/shorts/RngRlQwy4Hk WATCH OUT the Kangaroos About! Never mind that Double-O,7, I'm Double-7,0. 707. Amidst the luminous glow, as I embarked on another day of nurturing my botanical companions, a significant milestone unfolded within the realm of my cultivation journey. The arrival of pre-flowers signaled a crucial juncture, prompting a pre-warning to elevate the nutrient feed to meet the escalating demands of this transformative phase. With precision and care, I made meticulous adjustments to the scrog, ensuring the optimal positioning for these burgeoning blooms. The act of "fluffing her" symbolized a tender gesture of support, further enhancing the growth trajectory of my botanical charges. "The Recurrence Vid 2 -Pre Flowers" Upon a recent realization, it has come to light that she does not solely possess the traits of a 100% sativa strain. In a moment of introspection, the humorous realization surfaced that this misconception had taken root in my mind. Nonetheless, she retains her endearing moniker as "Forgotten Haze Cakes," a creation by the revered breeders TerpyZ X Kalyseeds. Acknowledging my humanity, I accept the occasional errors in judgment that may arise, understanding that such missteps are a common thread woven into the fabric of human experience, even among the most seasoned individuals. These moments of revelation serve as poignant reminders of our inherent fallibility, etching themselves into our memories as enduring lessons in growth and refinement. Additionally, it has been unveiled that "Forgotten Haze Cakes" is, in fact, a hybrid of Amnesia Haze "Hy-pro cut" and Vanilla White. This may explain a little depth to the botanical identity of this intriguing lanky plant, enriching the narrative of her genetic lineage. Anticipation brews within me as I eagerly await the unfolding of her growth journey, with fingers crossed in hope of witnessing her blossom into her full potential. Here is a sneak peek photo of her, a visual encapsulation of the promise and potential that lies ahead. The flowering stage presents a plethora of nuances and intricacies to marvel at and contemplate. 12/04/2024 Lights On: Budsites Adjusted Scrog slightly. Pre-Flowers On 13/04/2024, a gentle defoliation was carried out to clear away leaves that were obscuring younger bud sites. Additionally, the nutrient regimen was adjusted to incorporate Sensi Bloom at a concentration of 3.6.6 ml/l, with planned incremental adjustments up to 4ml/l as the flowers begin their enchanting journey towards full bloom. 1 hour after the lights were turned on, it was noted that the extractor fan may have been inadvertently disturbed during the defoliation process. This is evident from the slight drooping of the , likely influenced by both temperature fluctuations and the defoliation itself. Remember to always double-check the outlets after each session to ensure smooth operations. Few hours later.... Cropmaster installed/extra 4inch extractor fan attached! 14/04/2024 Undertook defoliation procedures and implemented certain modifications. In the previous evening, Cropmaster experienced LED malfunctions. Consequently, I have resorted to utilizing the Budmasters God 9 once again God.4 Mid-day: installed 60watt side light!

Well week 12 and week 2 of flower started yesterday 8/22. Other than the clones everything is looking good. But to be fair I haven't really done much with them. They're like a bastard step child, I only kept em around out of moral obligation. Lol. J/k...sort of. Nah, just some weird bumps on a couple leaves and from what I can tell it's a copper and or zinc thing so I'm gonna get some Proactive, lol. So the mothers have definitely stretched, lol. Bruce has been shorter than Sky the whole time but whatever. That's pretty much it. Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: 8/24 AND WE HAVE BUD STARTING ON THE CLONES!!!!!!! UPDATE: 8/25 Just uploading a few pics. Happy growing ✌️🍀😎

This week has been amazing. I did some defoliation since last week but you can hardly tell. She has been taking the 3.0 EC real well I thought I definitely had hermed it but damn if she isn’t resilient. I e noticed she drinks 6gal rn I feel that’s gonna ramp up these last coming weeks. This Autopot system has really changed everything I don’t got to worry about any timers or anything just check my ph and that’s it. Drip hydro was kind enough to let us test out the nutrients so shout out to them. See you all guys next week.

Day 29 - She's bushed out to the fullest. This is a controversial, but I think essential part of growing. Trust me, what i had removed would have been a waste. I gave all sites there chance to achieve my desired height. Those that didnt, got the chop. Day 30 - Now that is a recovery! I will now focus on maintaining an even canopy. I will only pull down part of the plant that stretch faster. Day 31 - Wettable sulfur and Cali Carb before bud production fully sets in. Wettable sulfur will help with some pest management, not that I have any, powdery mildew, also not an issue, and increases terpene production. Cal Carb is a perfect pair for this as its a readily available source of calcium and carbon dioxide. Calcium seems to be a common deficiency in flower, and the plant loves CO2 during flower. This seems like a no brainer! She also got a nice feeding with some top dresses and water soluble nutrients. Loving the evidental daily changes this plant can produce! Day 32 - Continuing to pull branches down and move leaves for some of these lower sites. Can't help but to have the song, 'Let It Grow', from the Lorax, run through my head everytime I try to move leaves to help these lower sites get light, lol. Day 33 - Opening up as much as I can and tried to keep it all above the net. Vigorous rapid growth in both the plant and cover crop. Day 34 - Showing what it looks like before I take each days pic with the leaves tucked already. Getting hard to keep these leaves down! There's a few lowers I'll likely be snipping to help focus energy to better sites. Day 35 - Let's just take a moment and enjoy these beautiful flowers this amazing Common Buckwheat cover crop is showing off. If you dont know what Common Buckwheat does when growing in your soil, it helps gather phosphorus, attract beneficials, and can be cut down to make compost. Is this even the same plant from the beginning of this week!? Can't wait to see these buds start to stack!

Flowering on Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto is growing up and flowering the fastest, Cherry Cola Auto on the left is catching up and spreading out ready for flowering buds. My Smoothie Auto was a week behind but has livened up since adding Charge by Ecothrive to all 3 plants. I had a timer on my light which I switched to the wrong position. So I'd been 24 hours lights on. I switched it back to 20/4. And the rest seems to help growth in the last week.

The flowers are beautifully colored.💐💚 The scent is extremely sweet and reminiscent of strawberries..🍓😛 The weather is not good, it's summer and it's still raining. The worst summer in the last 10 years.. Temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius during the day, dropping below 15 at night.. Despite the weather, the flowers still look very good, the humidity outside is high and I'm afraid of mold. The air in the greenhouse is maximally circulated.. After a thorough inspection, no mold was found, I'm very happy that it's not raining on my beautiful flowers. I add Plagron to the maximum, the flowers love it..

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.
