Not much to report this week. This experiment has taught me plenty of lessons about this method. I suspect this crop will be a pretty large loss. The soil is too hot given the amount of left over wash from previous grow, the new seed was doing real well early in the week, but as it reached out and grew roots it just food nutrient burn :| One of the initial seeds (front left) has already started to enter flower phase. I suspect it will start to thrive a bit better , as it nute requirements will go up.

Day 63 - lookin good.... haha.... um, tanks stabilized, ph 5.8 - ppm 1200 .... she's feedin alot..... buds are fillin and lotsa white furries.... listed the nutes and amounts etc.., but i'm kinda feeding her as she needs.... so every few days she is drinking 2 lts +- and i'm just mixing up a neut solution in a 2 lt bottle every day or 2 ..... sometimes she just wants abit of water...... Day 64 +vid....shows her deep green and gloss... abit of crystalic :) Day 65 - vids pics.... trimmed her, and abit of bending.... Added blood and bone.... she's stretching alot, 60cm+ ........ Day 67 took all the early buds on all the stringy 0ff shoots.... Poor lighting vids, but don't want to mess with her flowering, :) 👍😎👊

Day 126. Really day 90 from seed, part of Control Garden. Amazing how they Bulk, 3 weeks of veg only, crazy strain ! If i ever wanted anything from this strain, she was like "Let's do it ! " 8 sisters were amazing, now i used last two biggest beans and those had no training, no light, nothing, but went into absolute overdrive smells amazing, branches hard to hold while trimming ... Love them, maybe this time taste will be better, different nutes used ... Its so funny to hear branches slowly bending and cracking under own weight with no support left ... Amazing sound for grower ;)) Control Garden is an absolute success even with Strawberries hermie part .. Cure day. 250 g total. Insane for 3 weeks veg, one cola lost to budrot, no direct light and early harvest which led to a bit airy Monster Bulk buds, she could make 150 easy without budrot and one more week of flower ... Will update on night shift ;) Day Unknown. Decided to try out finally last girls for diary records, but ... After a month of intense cure buds got angly/pyramid type forms ... ????? Any idea ? First two weeks moved at least twice a day.

Going into week 5. DIY Scrogg net made a huge difference. The girls have grown into gorgeous ladies. Very bushy. Had to perform roughly 30% defoliation today due to fan leaves covering all the important branches. Trying to get an even canopy is much harder than expected however daily changes make a big difference. Added 5ml Calmag solution to current feed & the results are looking amazing. Life is looking pretty good at this stage!! Unfortunately, the camera pictures don't agree.

Absolutely High quality strain! This strain is pure gold, strong smell very freaking stinky, you can't believe how much this little monster stinks, the colas are huge man, very hard dense like authentic Rocks, Brutal resin production very stinky, I can see her parentales of Zkitzy Gorilla because of the crazy amounts of glue she has produced, fat colas for real, I'm in love with this strain, I could grow her forever! I know she's gonna make me sleep amazing at night, brutal indica híbrid. Enjoy guys! ✌️💚 🦍👽

The tallest pheno is ready and being flushed for a couple of days now, rhe others are close but still consuming nutrients at a strong rate , I think they will take at least 1 more week. They smell very much like gelato as a group but are all very different from one another .

The thoughts shared in this journal are my own—a snapshot of personal understanding at the exact moment of writing. It is not intended as a reference of absolute fact, but rather as an exercise in ἐπίνοια (epinoia): an exploration of thought, intuition, and creative insight. Epinoia(ἐπίνοια) is a Greek term meaning thought, intention, purpose, or conception, stemming from "mind" (nous) and "upon" (epi), representing the mind's reflective or creative process, used in philosophy (Aristotle, Gnosticism) and theology to discuss understanding and divine names, appearing once in the New Testament for the "intent of your heart" (Acts 8:22). It signifies the mind's operation to form ideas or designs, contrasting with raw data or innate perception, and in Gnosticism, it's an emanation of divine wisdom (Sophia). "Φsis" is a stylized spelling of the Ancient Greek word φύσις (physis), which translates directly to "nature" or the intrinsic essence of a living thing. Exploring the deep intersection of science, intuition, and creative insight often leads to breakthroughs that challenge our understanding of what is possible. When we approach high-performance cultivation not just as a hobby, but as an exercise in pushing a biological system to its absolute genetic ceiling, the results can transform from simple data points into profound proof of concept. Achieving a highly optimized environment requires a shift in mindset away from empty promises and directly toward verifiable proof, building true confidence through a detailed archive of past lessons and strategic adjustments. This philosophy turns a standard space into a precise mass and energy balance equation, where every variable is managed to eliminate biological bottlenecks entirely. In a recent project four individual plants produced 344 grams, 280 grams, 445 grams, and 255 grams respectively, resulting in a total harvest of 1,324 grams, or 47.2 ounces, of dry product. Operating with a 600-watt light source inside a four-by-four footprint, this brings the final efficiency to an exceptional 2.21 grams per watt. To put this in perspective, the standard traditional indoor benchmark has long been established at 1.0 grams per watt, while expert commercial operations target 1.5 grams per watt, and elite commercial systems push the envelope between 1.8 and 2.0 grams per watt. Reaching 2.21 grams per watt places the outcome squarely within the top 0.1 percent of global benchmarks, acting as a true statistical outlier that demonstrates what happens when flawless environmental parameters meet a cultivar pushed to its maximum potential. Reaching this level of mastery demands that we move past the common trap of the mirror fallacy, where the ego mistakes its own limited perspective for universal truth and views different ideas as personal threats. True progress requires curiosity and dismantling the illusion that our immediate viewpoint is the objective standard, shifting the focus instead toward how a system actually operates under the absolute laws of physics. In a high-performance setup, maximizing output is never about adding random additives or forcing growth, but rather about systematically removing the limitations that hold the organism back. By maintaining a perfect vapor pressure deficit, ideal root-zone oxygenation, and precise structural canopy training every single minute of the cycle, the plant is freed to express 100 percent of its DNA potential without any lingering genetic latency. Managing a dense canopy inside a tight footprint presents the ultimate challenge of mitigating stagnant air and preventing moisture issues. Overcoming this bottleneck relies on a sophisticated synganic approach, which seamlessly marries the precise control of synthetic mineral inputs with the natural resilience of active organic living soil. This method transforms the room into a closed-loop system where the internal microclimate is entirely isolated from external weather fluctuations and pests. Rather than openly exhausting the atmosphere, the air is continuously recirculated, enriched, and scrubbed using 264-nanometer ultraviolet light. The foundation of this thriving ecosystem is a comprehensive substrate composition designed to provide perfect aeration, structural integrity, and biological buffering. The primary media base integrates expanded clay aggregates, coir chunks, premium coco coir, sphagnum peat moss, horticultural perlite, vermiculite, pumice, and volcanic basalt rock. To continuously condition the soil and fine-tune mineral availability, the mixture is amended with agricultural gypsum, wollastonite, dolomitic limestone, basalt rock dust, micronutrient-rich volcanic ash, greensand, crushed seashells, biochar, and shungite. This mineral architecture creates an incredibly stable environment where active soil biology naturally prevents salt toxicity and ensures steady, reliable nutrition throughout the entire life cycle. Living organisms within the substrate play a vital role in maintaining this delicate biological balance and breaking down organic material. Red wigglers continuously process organic matter into easily accessible plant nutrients while aerating the media; specialized predatory mites offer excellent biological control against common soil pests, and pillbugs excel at breaking down tough, woody elements. These biological components are further supported by a rich layer of organic amendments including high-phosphorus steamed bone meal, high-nitrogen dehydrated blood meal, fish bone meal, cold-processed kelp meal, dehydrated moringa powder, spirulina powder, and marine crustacean biomass rich in chitin. Combined with biological inoculants like mycorrhizal fungi, premium worm castings, and concentrated humic and fulvic acids, the entire system operates as a flawless biological transducer of light and energy. Ultimately, shifting our perspective to view a grow space as a complete mass and energy balance equation changes the entire nature of agriculture. Success ceases to be a matter of luck or anecdotal habits and instead becomes the predictable result of meticulous design, patience, and the strategic elimination of failure. When science, biology, and engineering converge so harmoniously, we gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate natural systems that sustain life and growth. By sharing these detailed insights and refining our techniques, we can continue to unlock the absolute maximum potential hidden within the living world around us.

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

This indoor run was so much fun and I learned a ton on the way. I harvested the plants on day 68 of flower (I know this post is a bit late as things got a bit crazy with the current Covid situation. I harvested the plants whole and dried them all in the tent. They were dried at about 55RH and 62F. I left one fan and the inline fan as well to help the circulation during drying. in one of the top buds on the lime green Pheno I had one spot of what I think was botrytis. I noticed it early and cut it off the plant. Im not 100% sure but the inside of the bud didn't look right anyways so I got rid of it. This was a great plant to grow. All three strains were pretty similar but just different enough to keep the grow fun and interesting. One Pheno was this awesome lime green with really dense nugs. The other two have loads of crystal and nice purple colours to them.

Another week now in true solo mode since Takti got removed from the tent as he went bananas. Development on Samy is good though. Hopefully there won’t be any seeds.
