After week 16 of this grow my 'Fruity Terps'-plants are ready to harvest. I check the trichome-heads with a handheld-microscope (magnification of 150, available in every growshop) and see that all have turned milky and some start to turn amber already. That means PEAK-THC (=all trichome-heads have turned milky) has been reached inside the trichome and it is time to harvest. If I would let them go longer now and continue to flower them, more of the trichome heads will turn amber as the THC breaks down again to other cannabinoids, and the effect of the cannabis will get more sedative when smoked. For some chronic pain patients this is what they want from their medicine, therefore it is advisable for them to let the weed flower than recommended. The aroma coming out of the tent is STRONG and DELICIOUSLY FRUITY! 😍 The fade from the flush has turned the bigger fan-leaves yellow or purple now, this shows the plant is using her own sugars now and has used up all nutrients saved inside her. That is exactly what I want, since a well flushed plant ensures a clean, smooth smoke when the buds are dried. This is my MEDICINE and I use it against my chranic back-pain from hernia, therefore I have to make sure I can consume my medicine as pure and clean as possible. All my plants have grown big buds, which are glistening with TRICHOMES, the SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs did an OUTSTANDING JOB! In combination with the BIO NOVA nutrients, all plants THRIVED throughout the cycle and were able to grow healthy to their full potential.

Ehi ragazzi come va? Spero a voi tutto bene, io ho avuto problemi con la polizia che devi stare molto più attento da ora in poi.. La pianta sembra che stia bene ma la resina è poca, per di più ho avuto problemi di muffa, che spero di aver risolto, come vedete dalle foto alcune cime sono andate... 😢Ma apparte questo la ragazza è bella grande e le cime continuano a crescere, dovrebbe essere pronta settimana prossima ma le cime continuano a diventare sempre più ciccione! Staremo a vedere! Ora siamo alla 16 settimana in tutto ragazzi una bestia! Grazie a xpert nutrients e alla genetica di anesia seeds davvero questa pianta sta diventando una bellezza nonostante i problemi che ha avuto, sembra essere un fenotipo bello resistente,.. Per il resto vi terrò aggiornati con nuove foto, è tutto quello che posso fare per adesso.. Vi adoro ragazzi! Siete la mia ragione di vita e la forza per andare avanti durante la giornata in un paese in cui la depressione verso questa pianta miracolosa è davvero incessante, ora vogliono rendere illegale il cbd.. Assurdo! Cmq buone fumate a tutti un buon 420 a tutti! 🙏💪😺😸💖🌿🌴🥦🧑‍🌾🇮🇹😽💨🔥

Day 43 (Second Grow, Flowering Phase): Hey everyone! We’re well into day 43 of our second grow and deep into the flowering phase. 🌸 The transition has been amazing to witness, with our plants showing significant bud development. The plants are producing beautiful, dense buds, and it’s incredible to see the daily changes and the rapid development. We’ve been maintaining the humidity between 50-60%, but we’re keeping a close eye on it to prevent any issues. We’re considering whether to get a dehumidifier to bring it down to the ideal 40-50%. The SCROG net continues to work wonders, ensuring even light distribution and supporting the heavy buds. Our Timor shield mantis is still patrolling the garden, keeping pests at bay naturally. She’s become quite the guardian! The plants are looking healthy and vibrant. We're excited to see how they continue to develop over the coming weeks. Any tips or advice for optimizing this stage? Let us know in the comments!

Molto soddisfatto di lei è sempre più glassata e profumata, credo di dargli ancora 3 settimane piene prima del taglio ma vediamo come andrà. Giorno 1 viene defogliata per eliminare le vecchie foglie Giorno 5 viene annaffiata con 1L di acqua a 2000ppm

📆 Semana 3: La planta muestra un crecimiento sostenido y elegante. 🌱 Los brotes laterales comienzan a despuntar, señal de que la estructura se expande con vigor. Las hojas, firmes y anchas, capturan la luz con eficacia, y el tallo central gana robustez. Es buen momento para ajustar el tutorado, redistribuir hojas si es necesario y preparar el entorno para un estirón próximo. El lenguaje del verde habla de salud y armonía. Todo sigue su curso natural, con una energía que se intensifica día a día. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Hola cultivadores de marihuana ✋👨‍🌾🌲, bienvenidos a la semana de corte, a las quince semanas de vida, esta cepa auto floreciente, colorida y con dominancia índica, ha pasado a mejor vida en mis mallas de secado. - He cultivado esta cepa con dedicación y esmero, en una maceta air-pot de 6l, con ataduras en las ramas y tallo, en una mezcla de sustratos ligeros con minerales, sustrato activado con microbiología autóctona recogida en los bosques vírgenes de mi región. -La he alimentado con macro y micro nutrientes solubles creados con fermentados anaeróbicos e hidrolizados propios, creados en casa, con microbiología, elementos orgánicos y minerales. -Le he dado mucha y buena luz, 10h de luz interior, más otras 10 horas de luz exterior y cuatro de obscuridad, siempre ha llevado sombrero (mulch), con mucha materia seca que ha dado de comer a la microbiología y ha mantenido niveles de humedad altos en superficie, lo que ha facilitado la vida microbiana y la creación y mantenimiento de las raíces adventicias desde el primer centímetro de sustrato.... 💧🌞👨‍🌾 Definitivamente no tengo suerte con las chicas de color... o no las entiendo? 🤷‍♂️ He cultivado varias cepas coloridas y todas me han regalado momentos bellísimos, pero luego al envejecer, pierden mucha y rápidamente su antigua belleza, como también el caso de esta cepa, y yo me quedo insatisfecho. Este cultivo ha cumplido, pero por poco, el tiempo de cosecha está dentro de lo que el productor anuncia, pero la planta no desarrolló colas como yo esperaba, acusó carencias tempranas, que no se corrigieron a pesar de mis esfuerzos, los brotes florales demasiado esponjosos y con demasiada hoja entreverada, aunque la gran presencia de tricomas es evidente en todas las colas... esperaré al humo a ver que pasa. De momento secando durante una semana y después esperé al menos otra para dar una valoración más acertada del humo. Hasta la cosecha... SALUDOS A TODOS, GRACIAS POR LEER!! 🖐️👨‍🌾🌞💧 ================================= 🙄☮️👇🙏👌🤛👍👉👉👉❤️💜❤️👈👈👈🤜👌🙏👇☮️🤩🖐️🏻 =================================

Topped them end of last week, still not given them feed as the farmyard manure they were planted straight into seems to be giving them what they need so far, I've given them rain water when they needed it. Hopefully the sun will return this coming week 🌞

Start Week 13 - Day 85 07/27: The ladies are looking good. I believe Aaliyah has a few for weeks before she’s ready. Alexis is about a week behind and Annie is about two weeks behind. I had a few problems last week that I’m hoping don’t mess everything up. Annie took a bit of wind damage. Aaliyah has a herbal/earthy smell on her and it’s increasing, but is still pretty minimal. 07/29: Did some measuring and noticed that the ladies’s main colas all measure at about a foot long. There’s going to be a good amount of bud coming out. The burns on Annie have worsened. Now I’m thinking it might be the light, but there isn’t anything I can do about it at this point. Hopefully she pushed through.

|»» LOG DISCLAIMER: Not intended as a grow guide. Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 16 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17547.8, Wow what a great week in the garden! By the end of the week, the main tent has pretty much doubled in size! Upgraded the scrog frame and now have a second layer of netting about 14in above the original netting which is already filling in and looking incredible! The tent’s floor slightly flooded, but fixed it. Also trying Stash Blend for the first time! As for the veg tent. To preserve the genetics, started the mother plant cycling process and took more clone cuttings (which were rooting in Coco Coins by the end of the week). To make more room, also bonsaied all mother plants. The stretch is starting to slowing down and next week begins the first week of bloom! Ca-Caw! Let’s go! Onwards Ensign! [START OF WEEK 16] ========================================================== ---------- [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] ---------- Heady OG BX1 #1 [Round4 ~Wk9] - WEEK 16 - Pre-Bloom [Stretch Wk2] TKO [Round2 ~Wk14] - WEEK 16 - Pre-Bloom [Stretch Wk2] ----------- [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ------------ Garlic Budder OG#1 - WEEK 09 - Full Veg Garlic Budder OG#2 - WEEK 09 - Full Veg Gorilla Goat #1 - WEEK 09 - Full Veg Gorilla Goat #2 - WEEK 09 - Full Veg 08/04/25 → 08/10/25 This Week's Estimated Goals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DLI: ~13 mol/m²/d PPFD: ~300 μmol/m²/s VPD: ~1.0 kPa This Week's Meter Readings & Averages ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Light On/Off: 19:00 - 07:00 | Wattage: ~326.5W [LV04] Distance From Canopy: ~31”, 27” DLI: ~15.60 mol/m²/d PPFD: ~361 μmol/m²/s VPD: ~0.69 kPa Soil %: [40.7, 47.0, 38.1, 56.6, 41.9, 42.7, 42.9, 43.9] ========================================================== Day 01 - Monday - 08/04/25 - Total Days: 113 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.6°F [28.7°C] - Humidity: 83.6% - VPD: 0.66 kPa - Soil %: [49, 37, 45, 60, 44, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [+00:14]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Holy Cannoli! Wow! These girls are in full stretch! --- Both cultivars have grown beyond the netting and have stretched beyond the (green) Vivosun’s CFM bars! Heady is a bit low on the left, but the canopy is pretty even and perky! --- Ca-Caw! Let’s go cuddies! --- Heady OG (BX1 #1) is starting off shorter than TKO, but am pretty confident that she’ll catch up. --- TKO is looking incredibly healthy! She’s the larger plant, but also in the smaller 20-gallon pot. Well she is 5 weeks older than Heady OG so makes sense. Regardless of the growth difference, absolutely stoked for this grow cycle!! - [+12:19]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 46% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 37% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 48% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 62% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 41% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 44% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 40% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 50% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [+00:14]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! The veg garden is looking incredible! --- All mamma plants are looking bushed out and beautiful! - [+00:37]: Super-cropped and bend the canopy down a bit. --- Lowered the canopy down a few inches. Really need to defoliate soon. The top growth is bushing out and getting really thick! --- Clones are also looking incredible and both are rotting along beautifully! Heady is going to make it and she is looking great! - [+00:38]: The cuttings are looking good for the most part. One is looking pretty droopy (damnit Ensign). --- Misted the cups with RO water. --- Think the RH may not be consistent enough and the cups might be drying out too quickly. - [+00:41]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Another day done! --- Okay! Since growth is raging upwards, decided to upgrade the scrog frame and plan to add a second layer tomorrow. --- Ahh yea! This grow is turning out to be an epic one! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/05/25 - Total Days: 114 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.3°F [28.5°C] - Humidity: 83.3% - VPD: 0.67 kPa - Soil %: [49, 38, 47, 62, 41, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [16:25]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! The clones are looking incredible! --- The cuttings still seem to be struggling. --- Hmm. - [16:27]: Misted the cups with RO water. --- Made a slight modification and wrapped the top of both cups with plastic wrap. --- Cut a slit from the middle to the edge. Misted the cup through the slit with RO water (2-3 sprays each). --- Then gently slipped the cups over each cutting. --- Also slightly misted each Coco Coin with RO water. --- Great! This should hopefully make a better seal and will keep the RH higher. I think. --- Anyways! --- The mother garden is vegging along beautifully! --- Growth is getting really bushy and need to do a heavy defoliation soon. - [16:56]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 48% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 47% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 61% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 41% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 43% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 41% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 49% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [19:03]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ooo yea! Wow these girls are stretching! --- Growth has clearly grown since the last checkup and getting taller! --- Ca-Caw! Let’s go ladies! - [19:14]: Wait. Uh-Oh! --- The tent seemed to have flooded slightly.. DAMNIT ENSIGN! ------ [» A FEW HOURS LATER.. «] --- Okay! Think I figured out why the tent flooded and how to fix it. --- The main reason was the new soil sensor which was probably not in proper contact with the soil. --- Fixed this by re-seating the unit. Also adjusted the drip ring a bit. --- Also poured about a cup of water straight onto new sensor. This should make the surrounding soil wetter and will hopefully fix the dry pocket. I think. --- For added redundancy, added additional trigger conditions to both Ecowitt WittFlows (TKO and Heady OG). - [23:45]: Adjusted the watering triggers for the auto-watering system for TKO. --- Changed the ON trigger from: --------- When CH3 soil moisture is under 45% ------------ Updated to: --------------- When CH3 soil moisture is UNDER 45% --------------- AND When CH4 soil moisture is UNDER 50% --- Changed the OFF trigger from: --------- When CH3 soil moisture is OVER 50% ------------ Updated to: --------------- When CH3 soil moisture is OVER 50% --------------- OR When CH3 soil moisture is OVER 50% --- Applied similar watering triggers for Heady OG. --- Changed the ON trigger from: --------- When CH1 soil moisture is under 45% ------------ Updated to: --------------- When CH1 soil moisture is UNDER 45% --------------- AND When CH2 soil moisture is UNDER 50% --- Changed the OFF trigger from: --------- When CH1 soil moisture is OVER 50% ------------ Updated to: --------------- When CH1 soil moisture is OVER 50% --------------- OR When CH2 soil moisture is OVER 50% --- Will check back daily to make sure the flooding has completely stopped. --- Well that pushed everything back a bit. --- Okay! Anyways, - [23:57]: Time to both build and install the second frame and netting. Let’s go! --- Got four 1in PVC corner fittings (local Lowes) along with four 1in PVC pipes (10ft long each). Also got more self-tapping screws. --- For the netting, using mason string. Usually use the braided nylon, but the twisted variant is a lot cheaper. --- To build the frame, I cut the 1in PVC pipes down to two different lengths: ------ [» x2 @ 42.5in «] – Front / Back ------ [» x2 @ 44in «] – Left / Right --- This makes the frame slightly thinner from left to right. --- Saving the extra piping for future projects. - [+04:04]: Okay! The new frame is built and looking sturdy! --- Did not use any glue and simply dry fitted each component. --- For easier fitting, smoothed the ends of each pipe with sand paper. --- Also marked each pipe to indicate the front, back, left, and right sides. --- For the fittings, used corner fittings and have open slot facing downwards. This way I can add the legs. --- After the frame was built, marked and drilled screws about 3in apart (self-tapping). Made sure to mirror the screw spacing on the opposite side. --- Time to weave the netting! - [+04:06]: Using some mason string, --- Started at one corner and strung all the horizontal lines. --- Double-wrapped each screw. --- After the horizontal lines were strung, continued and wrapped the vertical lines. - [+04:44]: Now that the frame is built and the netting fully weaved, time to install the frame! --- First the support poles. Cut and sanded more 1in PVC piping. ------ [» x4 @ 14in «] – Vertical Support - [17:56]: Installed the back support poles before the front ones. --- Temporarily removed the front CFM bar and had to raise the fan up a bit (was not easy, but got it done). --- Once the support poles were installed, gently set the new frame on top. - [+06:07]: Done and wow she’s a beauty! --- Well that took a bit longer than anticipated (also the flooding did not help), but glad the frame fit perfectly and the netting looks great! - [+06:12]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Ooo yea! What a day! Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/06/25 - Total Days: 115 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.9°F [28.8°C] - Humidity: 83.1% - VPD: 0.69 kPa - Soil %: [42, 54, 43, 60, 42, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [+00:17]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw!! Let’s go cuddies! Growth is looking beautiful and green! --- The second layer of scrog netting was not the easiest to install, but wow the garden is looking incredible! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are still stretching upwards with new nodes branching out everywhere! --- The canopy hasn’t reached the top net yet but hoping a few will make it. --- Regardless, absolutely hyped for this flower cycle! - [+00:23]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Looking beautiful in the veg garden! --- Wow the mothers have bushed out and have reached the grow light! - [+00:32]: Super-cropped and lowered the canopy --- The canopy is getting really thick! Plan to do a pretty heavy defoliation tomorrow. --- Clones look great and stoked that both Heady OG and TKO seem to be rooting along in the cups. Need to check the weights. Let’s go! - [+00:37]: Here are the starting initial watering ranges: ------ Heady OG BX1 » 261.4g → 301.2g ------ TKO » 240.9g → 301.4g --------- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet] --- All cups were last watered 5 days ago. - [+00:37]: Took the starting weight of both clones before watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 weighed 250.4g ------ TKO weighed 240.9g --- Oops! Probably should have watered earlier, sorry ladies! --- Stoked that Heady OG is clearly going to make it! Also good to know the soil dryback can be at least 10g from the initial pre-saturated weight. --- Anyways! --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted the straw mulch of both cups with RO water. --- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible. --- Misted 10-20 sprays. Waited a moment, then misted again. --- Made sure to reference the watering weights. --- Repeated this process for both cups. --- There was no runoff. - [+01:08]: Took the saturated weight of both clones after watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 » 335.5g ------ TKO » 345.1g --- Marked the final wet weight on the back of each cup. Also marked the watering date on the front. --- Placed both phenos back into the tent. --- Cuttings are looking better! --- Glad that the slight modification to the cups helped to keep the moisture in (covered both with plastic wrap). --- Gently removed both cups and re-misted each with RO water (~2 mists). --- Carefully placed the cups back onto the cuttings. - [+01:21]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 34% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 52% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 39% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 58% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 44% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 47% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 41% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 46% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [+01:23]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 04 - Thursday - 08/07/25 - Total Days: 116 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 84.9°F [29.4°C] - Humidity: 82.0% - VPD: 0.75 kPa - Soil %: [32, 51, 37, 57, 42, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [09:42]: Quickly checked on the propagation dome (in the 3x3 veg tent). --- Nice! Clones are both looking great! --- Heady OG is clearly recovering and looking better! --- Wow! TKO is looking incredibly healthy! Top growth has perky leaves with a few nodal growth sites starting to stretch. As far as cloning, she has been healthiest with no issues the entire way! --- Both Heady OG cuttings are looking beautiful and should be rooting. Plan to check for roots in a few days. --- Plan to do a pretty heave defoliation today. --- Also going to start the mother plant cloning process. - [17:12]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mother garden is looking beautiful and the canopy is bushy with growth! --- Both Heady OG and TKO clones also look green and healthy! --- My main focus for today is the veg garden and the preservation of the genetics . --- Lots of work to do and time to also start the mother cycling process! --- This time, going to do a pretty heavy defoliation! --- Going to pretty much bonsai each mother while taking a few clones to preserve the genetics. --- Let’s go Ensign! - [17:58]: Filled a measuring cup with 1.5 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/8tsp of Horticultural Aloe --- Mixed the solution and poured it straight into a clear solo cup. --- Repeated this process until 4 cups were filled. - [18:05]: Also marked each cup with the corresponding mother plant name. --- Time to defoliate and take the clone cuttings! - [18:07]: Using a pair of trimmers (AC Infinity), --- Bonsaied each mother plant. Removed over 75% of overall growth leaving several branches and nodes. - [19:44]: Done and wow what a difference! --- Pretty much removed all growth leaving a few nodal growth sites to heal. --- This is my first time going this heavy and am hoping that they recover. --- If this bonsai defoliation heals up with healthy growth, this can also be an alternative to a full plant cycling. --- Anyways! - [19:46]: To preserve the genetics, made sure to cut clone cuttings from each mother plant. --- To ensure successful rooting, took several cuttings. --- Made sure to clean each cutting by trimming most of the branches off leaving the top one or two nodes. --- Did not cut any leaf fingers and made sure to cut the tip of the stalk (about 45°) before placing into the cup of aloe solution. - [19:55]: Placed the fresh cuttings into the 3x3 veg tent. --- Have each cup resting on top of the corresponding mother plant. --- Okay! Let the two-day soak begin! - [20:00]: Mulched the trimmings in a paper bag. --- Since the bottom of the paper bags tend to decompose, have the bag in a used BuildASoil soil bag which should not decompose (these are meant for soil). --- Also added a bit of Kashi Blend and worm castings to the bottom of the bag. --- Back to the Heady OG cuttings! --- Gently removed the cups and misted the inside of each with RO water (~2 mists each). - [20:02]: Carefully placed the new cups onto the cuttings. --- Great! Plan to check for roots soon. - [20:08]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 31% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 51% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 35% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 56% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 41% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 42% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 44% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [20:12]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! Ah yea! The garden is looking incredible and wow growth is raging! --- The tallest growth is just barely under the netting! --- Not much to do in the main tent now but to wait until the stretch slows down. --- Time to relax and let the grass grow! Let’s go! - [21:34]: Have an extra stainless steel rack and thought of a better way to hold the solo cups in the veg tent. --- The cups are balancing on the edge of the pots am concerned that they may tip over. --- Carefully too each cup out of the tent. - [21:36]: Placed the rack upside-down in the middle of the tent. --- Have the rack positioned on top of all 4 pots just above the center floor fan. - [21:39]: Gently placed each cutting cup onto the rack. --- The floor fan can easily still blow through the grid of the rack. Great! --- This should be way more stable while still allowing decent airflow. - [21:40]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 05 - Friday - 08/08/25 - Total Days: 117 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 84.5°F [29.2°C] - Humidity: 82.5% - VPD: 0.72 kPa - Soil %: [32, 50, 30, 53, 40, 42, 41, 42] ----------------------------------- - [23:02]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ahh yea! The garden is thriving! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are still stretching upwards and the canopy is getting dense! --- Wow! TKO has reached the top netting! Heady OG is just under the top netting. --- Ca-Caw! Let’s go ladies! - [23:11]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- The veg garden is looking great! --- The bonsaied mother plants are still recovering from the heavy defoliation.

7/4 SUN was poking out a little bit. Plants loved that little feeding and seen to he noticeable larger this morning. I'm considering starting the nutes. At least the organic ones as well as upping the water intake I've been scared to water with all this rain and my experience last time. I plan on applying BT this afternoon and doing some work on the bottoms of the plants. I also saw a chipmunk in my cage so I have some spots in my fence that need to be patched. I know I can't compare this year to orher years as these are seeds and all the other years were clones. I CAN say for certain that my plants are healthiest they've been out of any of my journals. Previous plants were much larger but I was fighting numerous fungal, pathogens and pests at the sane time. Ear wigs would've lollipopped most buddies by now but I've seen no sign of them. I'm going to apply more poison where they were and add some rat traps inside the cage for the chipmunks. Once I fix the cage I think I'll be good. UPDATE: Went back over and fixed the holes on my cage from high winds. I found an old wire trap or cage and just cut sections and ziptied them to the existing wire and to the structure thus covering any open holes. I'll need to put lathes aroubdvtge outside because if a rodent REALLY wanted in they could get in. My belt had been wearing thin but I use shit until it breaks (yesterday the heal came off my shoe lol) so I was working hard sweating my nuts off and my belt gives out totally. At least ive got the major stuff done. I took a few videos too. I'm imagining it was this little bit of sun that gave these plants that boost of growth but I'm wondering if the added nutes had anything to do with it. Bags weren't light and I could feel moisture in the soil so I didn't water. I'll check again tomorrow morning. Since I didn't see many plants or even leaves for that matter with damage I decided to hold off ob the BT and the plant doctor. Only time will tell if that was the right decision. 7/5 Plants look fantastic. I see a few more holes in leaves sporadically amd I'm hoping it's pillars. I've seen lots of lightning bugs on my camera though and grasshoppers are abundant. Not one growth shoot has been chewed (knock on wood) which is what the earwigs had always done. I watched a video from last year and by nowcthey had lollipopped all lower leaves. It may not be the best weather growing season wise but despite the rh consistently in the 90's I still don't have pm or fungal pathogens. Need to get the BT out. Didn't water as we've had all that rain. I'll water either tonight or tomorrow morning. Sunny high in the 90s low is 66. Tomorrow looks good too. UPDATE WENT BACK OVER AROUND FIVE. IT WAS 88 DEGREES SO I WANTED TO CHECK THE GROW BAGS. THE POTS ARE FINE. IT WAS HUMID AS HELL. ONE PLANT WAS SLIGHTLY DROOPY BUT VERY LIGHT AND DRY. I FOUND TWO OTHERS THAT SEEMED LIGHTER THAN THE REST BUT HADNT DROOPED. I MIXED TWO GALLONS OF WATER WITH 1TSP KANGOROOTS AMD PHED IT CLOSE TO 6. I FED THE 3 PLANTS THAT WERE SUPER DRY LIKE A HALF GALLON AND SPRED THE REST OVER THE OTHER EIGHT PLANTS. THEY WERENT DROOPING BUT THEY WERE VERY DRY. I PLAN ON A FULL WATER TOMORROW. I WOULDVE DONE IT TODAY IF THE TEMPS WERENT SO HIGH. ITS RAINED A MONTH STRAIGHT SO I HAVENT HAD TO WATER. I MADE A COUPLE VIDEOS BUT I'LL HAVE TO UPLOAD TOMORROW. 7/6 Another super hot day. I hefted the pots and they still had some weight but I could tell they were dry. This rain has messed up my watering schedule. Well it made it so I didn't NEED to water. These are big plants now. I need to get a schedule to stick too. They're going to probably need a gallon a piece at least. I'm still nervous watering. Right now I'm just reading the plants. I added .5tsp kelp me/you to 1 gallon of water to help with heat stress. I fed an additional two gallons to the garden this morning including the two container plants in the back. They were dry on top too but I know they have water deeper down. Next watering I'll be more consistent and try to give them there 10%. It's great having the bags elevated. I can finally see when I start getting run off. I could even measure the ph of it instead of relying on that meter. Ill check the ph when I go back over. Still a few 🐛 holes but they are few and far between. I really don't want to spray for such a small problem but if I cant find them at night that's what I'll do. UPDATE: Another 90 degree day. I went back over and gave the garden a gallon of water as they were dry and it didn't rain. Tried to use a soil ph meter to check ph. First couple were 6.4, 6.5 then I got 7.3 and I accidently dropped it. Then I got somethings that were high eights and even one 9! Obviously the Meter shit the bed. I'll lower the ph of the water slightly when I fully water tomorrow and I'm going to measure the runoff. 7/8 I must've messed up the journal again as the dates are off. GAVE PLANTS A FULL WATERING. Each girl got a gallon. I couldn't upload my videos this morning as I had to break up a fight. 3 on 1. Didn't give me a chance to put the videos up. I'll take some stills then I can upload them. I took stills and they all uploaded but didn't fucking save. I'm nit going to keep trying to upload if it's not going to. Noticed a few more holes in leaves and one skeletinized leaf so I need to either spray the bt or something more versatile. I'm putting more poison around the cage and de between the bags. I'll go check things out tonight. Sick of writing a book and uploading to just hace them disappear 7/9 Did a quick video today. Noticed the bags were fairly light despite the plants being soaked amd the pallets wet. I was pressed for time. I gave two gallons to the entire garden. I hope that will hold them over until tomorrow. I'll need to up how much water I give them. Going with a gallon and a half next time. I see more pillar spots and a moth took off when I shook the plants this morning. So I'm gonna have too apply the BT. I figure if I go over before dark tonight I might be able to see aju nocturnal insects around. Luckily my dad feeds the birds and they are always there. I think they help with pests. UPDATE IT WAS A LITTLE COOLER TODAY BUT MICH MORE HUMID. I WENT AROUND SIX TO MAKE SURE THE GIRLS WERE OK WITH WATER AND TO GIVE THEM A TREATMENT OF BT. I WENT THROUGH THE GARDEN ANDCGOUND THREE LEQVES TO DEFOLIATE AND LITERALLY A COUPLE LEAVES ON TWO PLANTS WITH PILLAR HILESM WHEN I ARRIVED TWO BIRDS FLEW OUT. A HORNET CAME IN WHILE I WAS THERE. THIS DO LESS APPROACH SEEMS TO BE REALLY WORKING. I DODNT SEE NEARLT ENOUGH DAMAGE TO WARRANT SPRAY8NG MY EXTREMELY HEALTHY GIROS WITH ANYTHING. ILL KEEP AN EYE ON THEM AND CLEAN THEM UP A BIT. I DO NEED TO INSTALL THE VERY8CAL TRELLIS FOR SUPPORT. THEYRE PRETTY HEALTHY THOUGH. ONE PLANT IS ABOUT AS WIDE AS IT IS TALL. STILL......PLANTS ARE EXPLODING AND ITS GETTING TIGHT IN THERE. I NEED TO GET THE TRELLIS UP THOUGH. 7/10 I went over and was planning to water. Plants were wet and it's raining. Top of the medium was moist but the bags were light. ONE bag was super light but seeing that we are having showers all day and an additional half inch of rain coming tonight so I didn't water them. Especially since they looked great. Decided to to spray BT yet as the damage is so small and i think the birds have been taking care of the pillars for me. Now I'm wondering if I should've gave that ONE plant a little bit of water but it will be find. Did a video. I'm being careful not to over water. Last year this is when all my buddies were devoured by earwigs. And no senescence like the years before. I think it was hust those earwigs. I haven't lost shot for leaves. Even the stalks are bright green and look amazing.

Sorry about the short post. I have been sick the last week and haven't had much time to document the grow. Not much to report anyway. Flowers are growing well and starting to get frosty. She seems super happy and filling out well. There won't be much to report on until about two weeks from now when she really begins to put on weight. Until then I will just be taking a pic or two and maybe a video for the next couple of entries.

in this past week I have defoliated the plants about 40% I have lost some leaves which have turned yellow I think the plants lack nitrogen due to the stretch the buds started to smell good. for nitrogen I add coffee grounds to keep away the pests and it is rich in nitrogen. the hardest part is fighting the humidity it’s been raining for a week 😭 humidity is the worst enemy I much prefer heat. see you soon

Seconda settimana di solo acqua, sono al 78 giorno e la pianta continua a fare crescere nuove gemme nella cola principale, è la mia prima coltivazione e sono completamente inesperto, ho fatto germinare il seme in un panno umido, messo in un bicchiere e dopo 2 settimane circa lo ho travasato in un vaso da 6l con del terriccio comprato al discount e ( 6 uova marce ) non ho utilizzato nessun fertilizzante per la fase vegetativa e innaffiato con acqua del rubinetto. Dopo la 5 settimana sono spuntati i primi peletti bianchi e allora ho utilizzato Easy Bloom boster fioritura di RQS per altre 4/5 settimane, poi ho comprato un misuratore di pH digitale scoprendo che il pH dell'acqua era superiore al 7,5 adesso utilizzo del succo di limone per abbassare il pH fino al 6,2. La pianta non ha mai sofferto nulla è sempre stata forte e mi ha sorpreso nella resa, cime sempre più grosse e profumate. Adesso però non so quando tagliare e come, stavo pensando che ormai è giunto il momento
