Everything looks great to me except leafs look a little less green then first week. I will be fine tuning the nutrition for better NPK ratios, focusing on Nitrogen and Potassium more along with micronutrients. I hope I don't screw something up, wish me luck. D9. Noticed possible slight nutrition burning from very bottom leaf. After some research, now i believe it's Nitrogen deficiency. D10. Bottom leaves appear to be yellowing less. Will keep eye on it. Maybe leaf necrosis. D.12 10 minutes before light out. Add nutrition and topping. My thinking is that healing is better during off cycle. D.13 New growth, however lower leaves look like there is a little magnesium deficiency. Will be adjusting nutrition next feeding.

Week six! Butterfly is still chugging along - not mus to report really, she's stopped stretching and is piling on the pistils. Day 36 - Photographed and fertigated 5l each. Day 38 - Photographed. I do feel it was my fault stunting this girl, but she will stay the size she is now. Special thanks to St Aubins Genetics for providing the seeds for this grow.

2/28: Amnesia has some yellowing of the leaves that appeared around about 12 hours before my usual every-3-day feedings and after I started to defoliating some of the previous yellow leaves from the previous accidental lack of water. I'm not sure if it is progressing, or it's just because I'm dialing in the watering schedule and she's using the nutrients in the extra, fatter, lower leaves. I've increased Amnesia's light distance to 16 inches and am lowering the humidity to stick between 60-70% RH with the automatic fan set to remove excess humidity near the higher end of that range. Fresh air fan blowing around the tent and into the 2 lower vents. Smells like a fresh garden outside of the tent, however smells green when the tent is opened. Not a strong green smell, but mildy recognizable. 3/1: Welp, it's worsened, and has shown itself in both plants now. Since they share the same environment and nutrients, I suspect this to be a nutrient issue. Trainwreck was known for potentially having excess Nitrogen as shown by the extremely bushy growth, dark green leaves, and downward curling leaf-tips. However, Trainwreck is now no longer exhibiting those symptoms, and has lightened up and is stretching. But! Trainwreck is showing signs of potassium deficiency, with brown spots appearing on upper leaves. The same goes for Amnesia, brown spots have migrated their way to upper leaves. I'm thinking a banana tea will be good for them, so I've got a couple large banana peels steeping in the pump sprayer for this evenings watering. My conclusions: 1. Nutrient burn hitting Amnesia hard, but Trainwreck is riding it out from its stored excesses. 2. Both are lacking some potassium now that they're beefing up in flowering stage. Edit: I've decided to add a quarter-strength nutrient to this banana tea so as to not completely flush out the remaining nutrients. I believe that would leave her starved in between her next feeding, in 3-4 days from now. 3/2: Welp! That made it worse! Time to test the PH of my soil. If the PH is too far in one direction or the other, certain nutrients will be locked out. I've ordered a PH meter instead of these PH testing drops. I didn't know that the difference between 6.0 and 6.5 would be so drastic, but with that said, I need to be more precise about my PH levels if I want to maximize these nutrients. Until the PH meter gets delivered tomorrow I may, if my research says that I should, flush with plain water ph'd water to try to flush out salts and try to get the PH back to 6.5 where it needs to be. Edit: I do not believe this to be overfeeding, as I would expect nutrient burn on the tips of all leaves, but there are colas that are completely unaffected by the recent feedings. However, if the PH is off, and I suspect it is, individual deficiencies will pop up and affect the leaves differently. The other plant, trainwreck, which was planted later, may have contained less Ocean Forest nutrients from the top of the bag, and also more Happy Frog; so it's riding out these issues just fine. 3/4: The discoloring on Amnesia has not spread to any other leaves. I've done a little bit of defoliating on the yellow and crispy leaves. Looks like they're already being replaced. I've got my ph meter now, and doing a slurry test came out 6.4 on the top inch of soil, the only soil I could get to without ripping up the roots. Either way, I'm doing to be certain to PH tonight's feeding (half strength) perfectly to 6.5, as opposed to trying my best using PH testing drops, which is almost impossible! Trainwreck is getting some spots on her leaves, so she'll be ready for her feeding tomorrow.

10-21 - Finally have room to start my new run! Dropped the little Sunset Sherbet Go Fast seed today in some water. 7:00am, it begins!...my days start early lol 10-22 - Cracking open in that water today, but nothing really to report 10-23 - Tail is out! Planted into a puck this morning with a bit of myco. 10-24 - She is up and tall today! - Got her pot ready for planting tomorrow. Went ahead and pre wet the coco with a light feed mix of 1.75ml/gal cal mag, 1.75ml/gal Coco A, and 1.75ml Coco B. Ppm 270 with a ph of 5.8. Will feed this same feed for the next week or so also after planting. Using 3 gal fabric pot, straight coco. ** Yep....It's my turn! Sure, my husband thinks he is growing the 'perfect' Sunset Sherbet right now....but I promise, mine WILL be better! 😁 LOL Two completely different grows though! He's in coco/peat/, I'm in straight coco. He's using Plagrons organic Alga, I'm using Plagrons Coco A&B. He's more 'dialed in', I'm more 'ehhh it is what it is '. He likes to monitor his cats, I let mine do whatever they want. So, he may not know it yet...but the competition has already began!

Room is almost there Flood table coating was completed this week. Took forever to cure in the colder weather, but it is looking great now. Normally I wouldnt use this stuff because it is $200 per gallon, but since Im in the industry, these expired sample cans didnt cost me a cent and provides a much more durable, reflective, cleanable and puncture resistant alternative to plastic. Im very happy with the table overall, it cost me very little to build I installed the fan and carbon filter, moves about 750 cf per minute. Its a bit loud, but its huge, so what are ya gonna do? My dutch bucket pails are slowly being collected from my local coffee shop. I need 4 - 8 more. Ive got all the hardware to set up the watering system, so I will work on that in the coming week

Well... I have some great looking buds happening by this point in my opinion. Unfortunately I didnt end up with a super red looking plant like I wanted but it is changing colours and definitely has purple hues at this point. The smell is getting thick, thank god I purchased the Can-Lite carbon filter or my whole place would be reaking.... I should be getting close to finishing according to Sweet Seeds website, but upon inspection there is still a while yet to go... They've been getting 24hour light the entire time and good airflow. The shorter plant seems to have progressed further at this point, trichomes are standing on end and I feel good about my grow.

She's changed a lot in the last week and flowers have opened right up! On 8/1 I got some spent hardwood substrate blocks from a local mushroom farmer and crumbled them around the base of each plant, including the autos. Hoping the mycelium can get in there to work their magic in the last few weeks this girl has, not to say she has anything "wrong" with her, just looking forward to a good harvest! Other than that, there's not much to report. She was fed & watered 2x this week since we've still been getting consistent rain and I don't want to overwater.

End of week 2 on day 14 (photos). On day 11 or 12 the roots emerged from the net pot and hit the reservoir at water level (see video). I didn't notice it until day 12 however. No environmental changes. She looks healthy and happy.
