Well, the drought stress in week 11 really fucked my plants up, but Twiggy recovered, while Zoey was hurt pretty bad. If I did nothing, I'm betting harvest would've been 25% more, and Zoey's buds wouldn't look so crappy, but overall, I was so happy with this grow! I was under a time crunch, so only did minimal veg for 4 weeks, topping once. Daily watering with 1.8EC mix that was pretty consistent. Kept pH between 5.5 and 5.8. Kept tight control on humidity and temperature up to mid flower, then kept air circulation on to keep room humidity around 55%
Things I'd do differently:
1. Veg longer - I'd love to try a mainline
2. Canopy control - wish I had spent the time on a SCROG screen, or at least a couple of rings.
3. More light sooner into flower. Waited about 4 weeks into flower before maxing out the light. Probably could've bulked them up significantly if I started earlier
4. Drought stressing - For Fucks Sake, keep a close eye on your plants, and the minute they start to wilt, get the water back on 'em!!!
5. Measure your run-off more frequently for salt build-up. Didn't have any problems, but it's a good best practice.
6. Set up proper closed-loop environment to allow for CO2 enrichment.
7. Set up a clone environment before you get to flower. Oops.
Things I was happy with:
1. VPD control system (heat, humidity) during veg and early flower worked flawlessly. Never any nute burn, and super healthy plants.
2. Sterilized soil and grow-room before starting - never had a single bug or any mold/mildew issues. Used a MERV 13 filter on the air intake, exhaust through carbon to crawlspace.
3. Coco/perlite mix - super drainage, low build-up, very healthy roots.
4. Power meter - neat way to measure what's really going into the grow, so when your wife complains about power usage, you can show her the real numbers.
5. Photone app on Android S20 - Knew where my PPFD was for optimal growth control.
6. REX-C100 PID controller for toaster oven - super tight temperature control comes in handy for decarbing as well as toasting oak for moonshine.

Decided I was going to do this 100% organic down to the Ph up and down is Nectar of the God's, I've added in some living soil which I haven't used in over a year to aide the plant even more organically. Plant showed some stress from transplant so I gave it a foliar feed after a day or so and its back to life, I felt the plant was moving extremely fast while still not competing a week of veg so I moved it early to not slow down its growth. Looking forward to the next 5 weeks of veg.

Great growth this week despite a pretty scary heat wave that rose my tent temp from 78-84/85...but she survived!

This is the 5th ILGM OG kush I've grown, the first I've tried to top. Now I know that I topped about 2 or 3 nodes to soon. But what I know from the other og's I've grown, buds will be fat and sticky and from the looks of her she is going to be all bud!!

Happy 4/20 all...
Still on auto pilot. I've made very few changes this week.
Process/Environment changes:
-turned one of my ts1000s down after chopping my cheese auto.. it wasn't needed as much and it helped cool down my tent around 2 degrees Celsius.
- humidity is set between 45- 55 percent. (45 lights off, 55 lights on)
- rotating each plant in the tent so they they can get even light coverage
I'm going to do a trichome check on Saturday. They are both pretty much close to being finished at 62 days post germination.
Both have heavy trichome production
Both smell very sweet

Between the recent temps and the lack of light I think she having issues taking off. I’m going to hold off on nutes until I see a little more progress. The humidity has been up, so at least there’s that. Looks like I’m in for a fight with this one

Purple Punch and Frosty Gelato will be harvested next week. Very hot in the tent and also it is not in my house. Summer time. Hard to look after them this way it can be seen. No problem. Next time. Still love them :)
A.lot of burnt leaves removed from them every week because of heat. I can not change now I need to go this way.
Starnge: Wedding Cheescake is crazy other plants are suffering because of the environmental issues she is acting like this is the best environment. Leaves hardly burn and she grows as fuck. All of them in the same environment.... Hmm.

Day 57- Did a light defoliation.
RO water at 66 PPM.
Running until more Ambers pop.
Day 58- checked trichromes, ambers are showing up in clumps, I’d say about 15-20% amber trichs at the moment. PPM 55.
Day 60: 4-5 day flush brings me to harvest. Cut down both plants, light trim of larger fan leaves and placed in tent.
I used 2 scrog nets to hang the buds, worked ok, need to make tighter next time... too much droops!
So far,
First 24 hours of tent at 68 F and 70% humidity.
At 48 hours 67F and reduced to 60% humidity
At 72 hours 69 F and reduced to 55% humidity, maintaining till dry.
Trying to get temps a little lower but no A/C...
Trying to stretch drying time close to 14 days. Anything after 7 and I’m happy.

This week I just let them do their thing. They seem to be bouncing back after the transplant I did last week. My OCD is getting to me though with the uneven canopy. They seem to be happier tho so I’m happy.

THURSDAY 11/29:
I'm in love with Gertrude. She's in full beast-mode now. Growing a couple inches per day. She's gonna be a producer.👈
Gretyl is growing, but not as quickly as I'd like. Doubt she's ever gonna get very big..
I foliar fed a few times and did a photo session.😍
FRIDAY:
Gertrude is still growing vertically, but also packing on the pistils!!!!!!!😁
Gretyl is actually starting to stretch a bit, too.
I foliar fed a few times and spun them around.
SATURDAY:
I fed them today with about 1/3 gallon of bloom nutes, plus a little extra boomerang for the N.
Gertrude is the tallest plant in the garden and there's no sign she's slowing down at all! Every one of her branches is growing an inch a day at least. I'm hoping she's a monster, but at the same time, I'm not looking forward to having to supercrop her. I'd so much rather not do any bondage....really uglies up the photos....but I keep growing dissimilar strains and always have an uneven canopy...
Gretyl is now directly under the quantum board, and on a throne, so she's about 18 inches from the light. Hoping to kick her into high gear.
SUNDAY:
Gretyl perked up a little more and might have even grown a little!
Gertrude is still stretching!
MONDAY:
I foliar fed them a few times and moved them around a little. Gretyl must have soil drainage problems..she kinda wilts for a day following every watering...I started probing her pot today and will continue to do so for a few days.
TUESDAY:
Gretyl looked horrible today. I probed the hell out of her soil again and fed her about 12oz of ph'd water with boomerang, calimagic, kangaroots, and some powdered bat guano. If she doesn't perk up in the next day or so, I'll assume she's rootbound and transplant her into a 5 gallon pot with more perlite in the mix.
Gertrude also looks like she has some drainage problems, but not too terribly bad. I probed her soil today and also gave her about 8oz of the same solution.

Update 1: Got some great advice in the comments about seedling care from @Frigault and decided to hold off on nutrients for next watering. I've read before that nutrients should be introduced as soon as a seedling is above ground but it does make sense to wait especially since I've fried a seedling before (a full grown plant dose at that). The youngster hot a little taller on last check and her first set of real leaves are open.
I didn't get around to soaking the Amnesia Auto yet. I knock that out tonight.
Cana-Cheese is finally above ground so I've begun a 18/6 light schedule. She's looking pretty good too! I watered with a 1 teaspoon of CaliMagic and next I'll start with a super low dose of GH's trio with a low dose of Armor-Si. I'm a bit unsure if I need to let the Armor-Si sit for a while after adding like I've seen done with the powder so I think I'll play it safe and wait unless I find out otherwise. Also, I'm a bit afraid of her stretching so I'll lower the lights a few inches to see what happens.
A moment of silence for Dark Devil Auto. After a 24hr soak, the seed never popped (with the cute little root that sometimes looks like a goldfish tail). Just floated like her sisters did up to plant heaven.
I'm torn between taking a chance with my last one or trying a different strain. I did manage to get a Banana Blaze all the way to flower until she bit the dust. Going by advice gone bad, I fed her too high a dose of nutrients and she never recovered. When they say "listen to your plant", do it. Lesson learned.

plants look mostly finished, except for the overfed center (A), but I decided to chop all of them, since I don't have the space to dry otherwise.

Starting strong, need to and alternative way of watering as I was using a jug and some of the soil sunk which made the stem bend down a little. This was quickly corrected
A few changes on 27th
I removed the oil heater that was really to big for the size of the tent.
By doing this alone I could bring the light closer which is the reason for the slow growth.
I also bought a humidifier as I was manually spraying the tent and now I can keep the levels up all the time
I could now either use a smaller fan heater in or outside blowing through intake vents (without drying the plant up now I have the humidifier) or……
I could put the oil heater on outside the heat and insulate it
