We’re back again fellow growers! How ya been? Tried something different this time around with the pics since ya can’t really see much plant color with the purple lighting ha One new discovery I’ve made with the last slurry is these girls are getting HUNGRY - Feeding is at an all time high - but that may have something to do with a freaking 10 week veg 😂😂😂 Also I accidentally bumped a nug as I was bending some stems around and my god.. the smell emanating from these girls is AMAZING! 10 years ago I would have just squeezed a nug, now I know that’s not the best to do lol Speaking of the past - Does anyone else kinda miss the classic undercover nature of growing from the days old? Where you were watching a guy with a mask & sunglasses on YouTube at 2am climbing in his closet with a bottle of big bloom? Or Chubbs with his late night dabs and stories? (Still remember when he got in that road rage fight years ago) INSANE. Those were the times! Make sure you catch the short video, until next time - I’m out boys!

--- ## **The Teresa Palmer Experiments** ### **Week of 20–25 May 2025 | Vegetation Ends, Flower Begins** --- ### **20/05/2025 – Lights On** **Last week of veg for MS and TF.** Lights 20/05/2025 Lights On! Last week of vegetation for MS n TF fingers crossed lol Lights dimmed back to 320watts, slite cannoing. The Clones are in cynogentics; slowing things up! Opened up a few more air holes. Sprayed with a weak solution of HPFG 0.05% All looks okay! "Few more days and the "infection leakage/cancer" the infection literally runs away from Hydrogen Peroxide Food-Grade treatment and leaves the blood brain barrier" Healing with no-scars! Me and the plants are healing well! Segwaying! Lights Off MS is still looking saggy curly after the transplanting into fresh rockcubes. Turned light back down to 300watts. The Clones are doing okay after the weak sprayed solution of 0.05% HPFG. TF is looking vibrant in Quarantine and has recovered from Septoria tritici, she took 1 week longer than MS to show signs of recovery and the transplantion short. Maybe TF; her resilience or immune system isn't as strong: due to her breeders problems picking the best Genetics. Who knows! Midday: Great; here’s a **kombucha-based microbial tea recipe** specifically designed to benefit cannabis plants (especially during **veg and early flower**) while being safe and effective. This tea boosts root health, improves nutrient uptake, and strengthens the plant's immune system. --- ### **Kombucha Microbial Tea Recipe for Cannabis (Veg & Early Flower)** #### **Ingredients:** * **Non-flavored raw kombucha**: 30–50 ml (2–3 tbsp) * **Unsulfured molasses (blackstrap)**: 1 tsp * **Worm castings or high-quality compost**: 1 cup * **Unchlorinated water**: 2–4 liters * *(Optional: 1 tsp kelp meal or liquid seaweed for added minerals)* #### **Instructions:** 1. **Fill a bucket** with 2–4 liters of dechlorinated water. 2. **Add the worm castings or compost** into a mesh bag or stocking and submerge it. 3. **Add the kombucha** and molasses to the water. 4. **Aerate the mixture** using an aquarium air pump and stone for **24 hours** (no more than 36 hours). * This activates beneficial microbes and keeps anaerobic bacteria away. 5. **Strain and apply** immediately after brewing. #### **How to Use:** * **Soil or Coco Drench:** Use once every 1–2 weeks during veg or early flower. * **Hydroponic Drip/Reservoir:** Only use filtered tea (strain well) and **add at a 1:20 dilution** (e.g., 250 ml tea per 5L reservoir). Ensure high aeration. * **Foliar Spray (Optional):** Dilute 1:30 and spray during early morning or lights-off time. --- ### **Tips:** * Don't store the tea — use it fresh. * Avoid using in late flower to prevent unwanted microbial growth on buds. * Always monitor pH and reservoir cleanliness if used in hydro. = = = = = = " I used 50ml of diluted mother juices from the SCOOBY 50ml to 15ltres?Will this be beneficial enough at that ratio? " You're welcome! Using **50 ml of diluted mother liquid from a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast)** into **15 liters** of hydroponic nutrient solution is a **gentle, safe starting point** — and yes, it can still offer **beneficial microbial effects** without overwhelming your system. ### Here's what you can expect at that ratio (1:300 dilution): #### **Potential Benefits:** * **Mild microbial boost**: Helps seed your root zone with beneficial bacteria and yeasts, supporting plant immunity and nutrient cycling. * **Low risk**: Very unlikely to disturb pH or oxygen levels in hydro at that concentration. * **Safe introduction**: Ideal for testing how your plants and system respond before increasing doses or brewing a full compost tea. ### A few tips for best results: * **Add during veg or early flower** for best microbial integration. * **Monitor water clarity and root color** over the next few days — healthy roots should remain white or light tan, and the water should stay mostly clear. * **Smell test**: If the reservoir develops a strong sour or funky smell (like vinegar or yeast), it could indicate overgrowth. In that case, do a partial flush. ### Is it “beneficial enough”? Yes — as a **microbial nudge**, it’s a great start. For stronger biological impact, you can brew a tea like the one I mentioned earlier, but what you did is safe and should offer mild support without disrupting the balance. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 21/05/2025 TF and MS are responding beautifully to the 50ml kombucha infusion — their energy is shifting. I gave them a gentle foliar mist today, using a diluted H₂O₂ solution at 0.05%. The lights are on… and so are they. So am I. "There is so much quiet power in the act of letting go." I refused to abandon these plant experiments, even when the signs were uncertain, even when growth was slow. And now — they’re beginning to thrive. It’s humbling, and it’s deeply affirming. When I got sick and chose to continue my healing journey, many people — even family — stepped back. Some gave up on me. But I didn’t. I chose not to drown in pity. I chose to believe in the process. I chose to stay with myself — and now, just like my plants, I’m beginning to bloom. It’s a good feeling. A quiet victory. A sacred one. To be honest; i can't wait to smoke the "Jesus out of these. No chicken eggs to count. All is good amd all is swell! --- **Sacred Grow Log – 21/05/2025** **Lights Off – Silence Speaks** Today, the garden sleeps — and so does the surface, while the unseen stirs beneath. I’ve increased all nutrients to **veg-phase strength** — the plants have called for more, and I’ve answered. There’s a slight wilting in their posture, and whispers of calcium-magnesium imbalance, like a subtle signal from deep within their cells. It's a language you learn to read with time… like decoding ancient symphonies written in chlorophyll and veins. I moved things around today. Shifted the layout. Rearranged not just space — but energy. **TF’s branches have been folded inward** — a ritual of redirection, bending her into a **Freaky Bonsai form**, compact and deliberate. She's not broken — only reshaped. Like fate twisting its limbs to adapt, to survive, to transcend the ordinary. There’s a strange beauty in distortion. Sometimes the most powerful growth is born through the unnatural — when chaos becomes art. Nothing in this garden is random. Even the smallest change is a spell cast — and I'm both the scribe and the vessel. --- Here’s your journal entry reworded for YouTube, keeping it reflective and engaging, while staying within community guidelines and adding a hint of poetic insight: --- 22/05/2025** **Lights On The Garden Awakens** The plants are responding beautifully to the kombucha; straight from the mother culture. It’s sharp, alive… almost like vinegar, full of life. There’s a distinct energy shift in the room: subtle but unmistakable. I’ve considered building a simple setup to start brewing a living tea with worm castings and other natural inputs. But I’m holding off; we’re only about halfway through this grow cycles. Timing matters, and introducing live cultures too deep into the flowering stage could unsettle the balance, especially with pH fluctuations. It’s a delicate dance. Let's get it right now in small stages. For now, I’ve added another **50ml dose** — just enough to stir the microbial world without tipping the scales. The plants speak in posture and pulse: and today, their message is clear: *they’re grateful*. --- **"I’m glad some people still read. Really read. Not just skim for a reaction or scroll for the drama. But sit with the words Feel the space between the lines Catch the meaning that isn’t yelling for attention. In a world where folks jump quick, Where bandwagons fill fast, Where opinions echo louder than understanding It’s rare to find minds that pause. Minds that ask, *'Is this truth? Or just noise dressed as truth?'* Minds that don’t just follow faults… But look for foundation. So shout out to the ones who read before reacting, Who think before typing, Who question the easy answers. Because awareness like that — It ain’t loud, But it’s powerful."** When we are at our lowest; We are often alone that's where inner strength the fight to keep pushing When we are at our lowest; We are alone 😔 The fight continues on; The weather keeps thrashing But in my blood the ions now fire Recovery dwells as cancer expires!

I wasn’t aiming for it, but the first thing to disappear? Dandruff. Gone. Just like that. See, most people don’t know; Dandruff isn’t just dry skin. It’s a dance of micro-parasites, feeding off the mites that live on your skin — a layered ecosystem most don’t see, but I felt it. I lived it. Some might call it a coincidence, but when I brought oxygen into the equation, those organisms couldn’t hold space anymore. Modern academics might describe them as cousins to scabies; a miniature model of parasitic behavior. But I call it a quiet cleanse.

DIY Entrepreneurs CHat together Today marks the official switch to **flower**—and with it, a new rhythm begins. The ghost of HydroSal still lingers.

We’re introducing **Canna’s Complete Organic Bloom Feed**—fresh, vibrant, and without the haunting murk of old stock solutions.

On **Tuesday**, we’ll hit the girls with another **12-hour hydrogen peroxide soak**—this time using a gentler 3% ratio. It’s a calculated play to reset the microbial balance without overwhelming them during this delicate transition. The older fan leaves are still functional—still converting light, still standing guard. Removing them now could shock the system, stalling growth.

She promised the world—balanced feeds, clean roots, whispers of a new era—but lately, she’s smelled a bit “off” (literally and metaphorically). Plants were talking. Leaves started showing those tell-tale chlorotic freckles—like a pixelated disease creeping across their emerald faces. **CalMag? More like CalMaybe.** I sniffed the stock bottle—yup, something fermented this way came. That bottle’s been shelf-sitting too long and probably died quietly while I was looking at trichomes. Poor thing. So what did I do? **Flushed the whole system**—cleansed the sinuses of the root zone with pH’d water like a hydro colonic—and gave them something they’ve been secretly craving: **Advanced Nutrients Bloom A+B**. The girls perked up like they'd just had their first espresso in weeks. Now, here’s where it gets interesting: This wasn’t just a feeding adjustment, it was a **nutrient resurrection**. To tackle the mag deficiency, I’m planning a soft foliar CalMag mist (0.5ml/L) and possibly a micro dose of **Epsom salts** in the reservoir—keep it simple, sulfate sharp. **Observations:** * Interveinal yellowing? Present. * Freckled spotting? Yup. * New growth still pushing strong? Absolutely. * Spirits? Weirdly high. Like a fog's lifted. --- **The Teresa Palmer Side Note:** Every flush I do, I imagine my own system being purged. The metaphor writes itself. Plants, like people, need time to detox and start over. And just like me, these girls are bouncing back stronger with a new protocol, clean lines, and renewed light. --- **Side note: Teresa Palmer is now spread eagled - slite pruning of under growth to help her upper top shine - I love the smell of freshly cut leaves/flowers 💐 you know what I mean? Yeah; you know what I mean 😏 P.s all the running I've been doing lately; i need a plunge in a ice bath and some magnesium myself! Knots in my right thigh! Nothing worse! 'I have no monsters in my closet; just weed' ''It's got to be; one of the cleanist magnesium deficiencies i have ever seen; at least it has that going for it'' - Hey man; you seem slightly insecure today! - than normal! I'm on my own dying! - Dying of Laughter i bet; but that's also true; being on the edge of life; makes one crack-up. What if 'this is it' ? - suddenly anxiety doesn't exist anymore; just like' Michael Jackson - ''This is it''...... - here i stand...., i'm in the light of the world............................... i feel grand......and this hope......., that i feel......, yes i know, yes for-sure that is real............. I never told....... a real word... about you; to no-one, being in the light, isn't my plan....., but if this boat..... has to sink......, then who-cares what i do, never-mind what i think! .......- I'm spilling my heart out to help you........, but i don't see no-hands...........because i am alone,......but i am not lonely........i have me......... the good company, its just me. - In This world isn't one of 'Harry Porter', no magic script to follow; i have to find my own way in health and healing and i sure do not trust the governments way of appealing, for money for healing, to make you ill again, while reeling, the money pit, they sit and print the money,...l. so ask yourself; what are they appealing? Booom! it have in constantly in the spot-light, everyday on the news, adverts, you see it everywhere? ...everywhere like bacteria and parasites jumping hitchhikes on fungicides that changes the molecule structure of DNA!

The new **organic feed** is settling in well—plants are responding with signs of revival. The leaf stress is stabilizing, and new growth has a spring to it. Everything feels like it's leaning toward the light again. **Monkey Slapz (MS):** The light intensity has been nudged up to **420 watts**. MS is looking dense and bushy now. We’ve officially entered the **transition to flower**, though she’s taking her sweet time with the flip—deliberate, cautious. We’re helping the process along by **reducing light exposure by 1 hour daily**—a gentle nudge into bloom. **The Clones:** The baby clones are flashing fresh signs of growth. Once they gain a bit more strength, they’ll head back into **cyanogenics/propagation** for preservation. If all goes well, this cohort should be enough to fuel **next year’s entire grow cycle**. (Yes, we plan ahead—and we clone for a reason!) **Observations:** * Signs of feed uptake and bounce-back across all strains * MS is bushy and stable; light reduction in effect * Clones recovering well; root development expected next --- **The Teresa Palmer Side Note:** Reinvention doesn’t always look flashy—it’s often slow, hidden in the rhythm of light shifts and silent cell growth. We’re in transition. And like the plants, I’ve learned: the slow bloom is often the strongest. Let’s grow. --- 26/05/2025 Just making it clear for people! Its Ai edited not Ai creativity! タイザー = Tai-za - Tizer My new dogs name! /////////////////////////////////////////////// Some HIStory on TF: Gorilla Glue #4 Marijuana Strain 4.6 356 votes| 238 reviews Strain Information Indica Dominant Hybrid Strain Indica Dominant Hybrid - 60% Indica / 40% Sativa THC: 32% Gorilla Glue #4, also known as “Original Glue,” “Gorilla Glue” or “GG#4,” is a slightly indica dominant hybrid strain (60% indica/40% sativa) created through crossing the infamous Chem's Sister X Sour Dubb X Chocolate Diesel strains. This celebrity strain is a favorite of patients and breeders around the world for its super heavy effects and long-lasting high that will totally knock you flat out. The high comes on with a building effect, slowly filling your mind with a lifted euphoria and light creative energy. As your mind lifts higher and higher into happiness, an almost glue-like sense will kick in, leaving you mentally stuck in this blissful state and without a care in the world. This effect will soon spread throughout the rest of your body, leaving you hopelessly couch-locked and immovable for hours on end. With these hard-hitting effects and its super high 18-32% average THC level, Gorilla Glue #4 is often said to be perfect for treating ADD or ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, chronic pain, depression, chronic fatigue, insomnia, appetite loss or nausea and migraines or headaches. This bud has a spicy chemical chocolate flavor with a heavily diesel exhale that turns slightly sweet the more that you toke. The aroma follows the same profile, although with a heavy peppery pungency to it, too. Gorilla Glue #4 buds have small rounded forest green nugs with furry amber hairs and a coating of tiny amber-tinted white crystal trichomes that are dripping with sweet sticky resin. --- Conclusion: My anszwer Much to my surprise, the first time I tried this strain, it *absolutely reeked* — duct tape, wood glue, and that unmistakable Gorilla Glue funk. It even left that tacky residue on my fingertips, like what you’d get after peeling off heavy-duty duct tape. The taste is just as intense: a peppery, chemical-laced chocolate diesel blast that clings to the throat, often leaving me coughing and a little phlegmy. The air it leaves behind is thick with that old-school, nose-wrinkling stank. It’s unapologetically loud. This is *Back to the Future #2* by Tastebudz — a feminized strain created by going “back in time,” tracing the genetic lineage of *Future #1*, and selecting parent strains that expressed the most desirable traits: rich terpene profiles, potent effects, resilient structure, and heavy resin production. The result is a carefully bred evolution — forward-thinking, but deeply rooted in powerful old-school genetics. But here’s the real story: *this is the only strain I’ve ever tried that actually helps me run*. And I mean that literally — I use it to aid my running routines. It’s become essential to my treatment plan for brain cancer. I live with chronic nerve pain, inflammation, and a heavy, oppressive mental fog that can make even walking feel like wading through static. This strain? It clears the storm. While it knocks most people out, for me, it *activates*. It doesn’t just dull pain — it opens up a space in my head where I can *move*. Without it, I honestly don’t think I could run at all. With it, I can lace up, breathe, and push through the haze. Mentally, it flattens the chaos — that frantic, scattered, ADHD-like static that’s always buzzing. It gives me calm, clarity, and a softened edge on the pain. And physically, it lets me break through barriers I wouldn’t otherwise reach. In small to moderate amounts throughout the day, it doesn’t sedate — it *liberates*. I don’t use it to get high — I use it to *show up*, to train, to fight back against something that’s trying to slow me down. It’s stony, yes. It’s intense. But for me, it’s also the cleanest clarity I’ve ever found in this battle — and easily one of the most important strains I’ve ever encountered. Not just a favorite — a lifeline.

I have to say, overall out of all 5 purple Lemonade seeds I’m not very happy with the results so far considering they was a little more pricey & the fact that I know how good these plants can turn out! Not sure if I just got some bad genetics or what’s up but pretty bummed about this run so far😅😅 hopefully things will start to look up! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!✌️🏼🌱 Day 24 - Decided to pull the smallest purple lemonade that wasn’t doing anything so I can go ahead and get something else going in it’s place! Watered the other ladies today. Day 25 - Ladies are still stretching like crazy!

bending some sticks to give better light penetration to lower parts of the plants. Added green grass layer for bacteria and better watering ability. Just added NeemOil one time to prevent fungus gnats. Rest of the time only watering once a day a little amount. Terps start to develop: Tezla OG = kushy, planty smell Marshmallow OG = Kushy Earthy smell Nutter Budder = Super Nutty and Calí Kushy Smell the best one out of the three yet.

17.3.25: So I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with 4ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids. I have really overdone the nutrients, I got carried away 😅 To try and rectify the situation, I've cut everything out except Cal-Mag amino acids. I will try to just stick to this with some Biosys, but I'm running out of that now, too. Anyway, with Or Without, I'm sure it'll balance out. Fingers crossed 🤞🌱✌️💚 21.3.25: The plants are all getting plain water PH'd to 6.4. I have removed all nutrients and water every plant 1-2 litres daily. I would probably have continued using the Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids. However, the NPK is 4-0-0. So, whilst it's great stuff, I don't need the extra nitrogen. I add Ecothrive Biosys to some of the waterings. Unfortunately, I have very nearly run out. So I'm using it on selected plants, which I think could use a bit of TLC. I checked the soil PH of all pots, and it was bang on 7.0 for each one. Substrate temperature was 19°C across the board. The soil moisture meter said the soil was dry in every pot: I chalk that up to being my medium, as it's very aerated and of low density. Also, I never water to run off. So I'm unconcerned about that. All being said, I'm hoping to see some of the plants stored nutrients be tapped into and try to balance things back out. They definitely have had a little too much feed. It does seem like apart from the leaves, they are all looking great! The plants are drinking heavily, and I watered 4ltrs to Do-sì-dos, 2ltrs to Pink Mist, 3ltrs to Bubble Kush, and 3ltrs to Gorilla Cookies. The pots had already completely dried out. So I'll definitely have to up my waterings. The colas are getting fatter, and ripening up slowly. Thanks for hanging out 🍃 ✌️ 💚 🙂

The two main events this week: Defoliation and training. The ladies seem to take it well. As you could see last week I got a deficiency in one of them. It turned out to be a Phosphorus def. Apparently the nuts I use have a rather low amount of Phosphorus... I had the same problem in my last grow(dark leaves, slow bud development)... unfortunately that time I didn't get what was happening. So I started giving them "Bud Explosion" now, 2ml/l, which basically contains a mix of Phosphorus and Potassium, and the improvement was almost instantly noticeable! I'm thinking they get 4-5 more days to recover in veg. then I flip them.

🇺🇸 Week 8 of Growth – Mother Gorilla – Royal Queen Seeds 🇺🇸 This week, I’m happy! The roots have recovered well. They continue to eliminate dead roots, and you can see in the photos that new root growth is emerging. This is a great sign—it means the plant is regaining strength. The roots have resumed their growth, which is the big highlight of the week. The plant has also continued to develop foliage. It’s now dense and well-filled out. Today, I did a major defoliation to maximize light penetration and maintain good airflow. Now, I’ll let the plant recover because I think I’ll be switching to flowering soon, maybe next week or the one after. I really want to optimize light penetration to encourage new shoots, which will later become flowering sites. Environmental Conditions & Nutrients: We’re still at 18 hours of light, with temperatures between 25–27°C and humidity around 70%. pH and EC: I’ve had some issues with pH rising. It tends to climb to 6.5–6.6, so I have to lower it regularly. Since switching back to RO water, I stopped adding tap water. But now, I’ve started reintroducing small amounts to help stabilize the nutrient solution. Initially, my RO water had an EC of 0.1, which I increased to 0.2–0.3, and now I plan to raise it to 0.4 before adding nutrients. This should help maintain a more stable pH. The EC was set at 1.4, and now it has dropped slightly to 1.3, which is great news—it means the plant is drinking and absorbing nutrients well. Final Thoughts: • The roots are bouncing back. • The plant is strong and healthy. • I performed heavy defoliation and topped some apical growths to keep the canopy even as I finish filling the Scrog net. • I changed the nutrient solution this week, so we’re on a fresh mix. Now, I’ll let the plant recover from the defoliation, which might slow it down for a couple of days. Overall, things are looking great, and we’re getting closer to flowering! ⸻ 🇫🇷 Semaine 8 de Croissance – Mother Gorilla – Royal Queen Seeds 🇫🇷 Cette semaine, je suis content ! Les racines ont bien repris. Elles continuent d’éliminer les racines mortes, et sur les photos, on peut voir que de nouvelles pousses apparaissent. C’est un excellent signe : la plante retrouve sa vigueur. Les racines ont repris leur croissance, et c’est vraiment la bonne nouvelle de la semaine. La plante a également continué son développement foliaire. Elle est maintenant bien touffue et bien fournie. Aujourd’hui, j’ai fait une grosse défoliation pour maximiser la pénétration lumineuse et maintenir une bonne circulation de l’air. Maintenant, je vais laisser la plante récupérer tranquillement, car je pense la passer en floraison bientôt, probablement la semaine prochaine ou celle d’après. Je veux vraiment optimiser la pénétration lumineuse pour favoriser de nouvelles pousses, qui deviendront des sites de floraison. Conditions & Nutrition : On reste sur 18 heures de lumière, avec des températures entre 25 et 27°C, et une humidité d’environ 70%. pH et EC : J’ai eu quelques soucis avec le pH, qui a tendance à monter jusqu’à 6,5–6,6, donc je dois le réajuster régulièrement. Depuis que je suis repassé à l’eau osmosée, je ne mets plus d’eau du robinet, mais j’ai recommencé à en ajouter un peu pour aider à stabiliser la solution nutritive. À l’origine, mon eau osmosée avait une EC de 0,1, que j’ai augmentée à 0,2–0,3, et maintenant, je compte la monter à 0,4 avant d’ajouter les nutriments. Cela devrait aider à maintenir un pH plus stable. L’EC était à 1,4, et maintenant, elle est descendue à 1,3, ce qui est une bonne nouvelle : la plante boit et absorbe bien les nutriments. En résumé : • Les racines reprennent bien. • La plante est forte et en bonne santé. • J’ai fait une grosse défoliation et topé quelques apex pour maintenir une canopée homogène et finaliser le remplissage du Scrog. • Changement de solution nutritive cette semaine, donc on repart sur du neuf. Je vais maintenant laisser la plante récupérer de la défoliation, ce qui la ralentira sans doute un peu pendant 2–3 jours. Dans l’ensemble, ça se passe très bien, et on se rapproche de la floraison ! 🤘😎

Hey green thumbs! Time for the first-week update on my Anesia phenohunt, and boy, has it been a wild ride! So, remember Red Banana Pudding #2, the shy one that decided to stay in its shell?

11/10/18. Shes finishing really strong. Not sure if the Cha Ching doesn’t I’d much much but the Beastie Bloomz definitely helped. I think my feeding schedule was off by a week or two because I’m unfamiliar with autos. Next run I will begin the soluables at least a week earlier to allow for two feedings of each along with a flush. Right now im not sure if i will have enough time before finish. It’s my only concern. 11/12/18. Watered fully to runoff. Plain water at 6.5 11/13/18. She is finishing very nicely. Decent frost, tri’s are still milky with only a few beginning to turn amber. I ditched the cha Ching. IT didn’t do much and I think it burned the leaves....and that was a 1/8 teaspoon / gallon so users be cautious. I do feel the Beastie Bloomz did help.

what’s up guys, today’s day 1 of week 5 in veg and it’s looking like this will be the last day before i flip to flower. the plan is to switch to 12/12 right after today, but my ppms are sitting at 370 which isn’t ideal at all. definitely need to get that sorted quick before the flip. she’s still been growing super fast and handled defoliation and topping like a champ. that mag deficiency is still hanging around even with foliar sprays and feeding recommended nutes, so i’ll be dialing everything in asap. excited to move into flower though, it’s about to get good.

Top Dressed with my dry amendments and topped 3 nodes down with of all branches. Trying to really bush it out under a scrog. The nutrients kicked in within the week on the Acapulco Gold. - Changed the light from about 15% to about 35% at the same height on the ES180 - By using the mixture of Bio Tone and Earth dust I am introducing symbiotic microorganisms into the soil, mostly fungus. From what I understand these mycelium help the plant uptake the food grow healthier roots. - My goal is to use the increased nutrient availability to help the plants handle more light intensity and meet it vigorous growth. -Turned both fans on for stem strength -
