Moving along nicely now. The timelapse is showing some nice growth over the last 6 days. The next month should really be fun to watch. I plan to let them stay in the buckets for another week before I move them into the larger containers. Not much else to see early on. They should be ready for their first clipping here soon. Fun fun!

My Skunk Apple Run plant is still a bit young, but I can see those buds starting to form. It's a bit of a slow starter, with buds popping up all over the place instead of a nice even line. We'll see if adjusting the light cycle or its food might help it along. I'll keep you posted on any changes. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

--- ## **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!

 Food-grade; through the ear, nose, even around the eyes and forehead. 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.

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?

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.

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 am so glad I decided to do some low stress training!! After that one feeding at the end of last week the plant truly bounced back and showed no more signs of deficiency problems.. 😅 Because I started some early LST I began to see the much smaller nodes develop over this week and it started to give me hope lmao. There was not only a difference in the vibrancy of the green leaves but there was also a difference in the texture of the leaves as well! The ones that were damaged were thicker and more rough, while the new healthy leaves were much softer! For now I will leave some of the damaged leaves on because I don't want to strip her too early but periodically over the next couple of weeks I am going to start pruning and training her more (especially since she's a keeper). I also went ahead and started giving my girl a foliar spray feeding of diluted garlic & onion peel water which I plan on continuing with while in veg.

I'm doing terrible. The plant hasnt done anything bad it's all healthy (super strong stock) it's all me. Trying to prolong its veg and restricting its height. But the other plants have caught up so switching to flower next week the week after ones a clone so it's already. But ones only 6 weeks. In the video I posted there is my white widow I'm confused why its stock it so tiny

03.22.23. Start Week 3. Today i started the Low Stress Training on the plants. I first carefully start to bend the plant kinda massaging the plants and making the plants softer and easier to bend down. I then tie the base on one end to keep the plant from snapping, and bend the plant the opposite direction and tie it down. I will continue this daily until flower starts to create a perfect even top canopy. End of week Review. All 3 plants seem to be reacting well to the nutrients and LST they are getting. Also the few leave trimmings seemed to go well with them all. I have officially named the plants. There names are Megan, Lucille, and Alien. Very excited for these plants to start there flowering stage

8/19 Rained again last night. No damage but medium is drenched. The 9lb kush I've been struggling with seems to be improving. I spent a lot of time on her yesterday and at least an hour this morning defoliating and pruning her. New growth and flowers look promising. I'm cautiously optimistic. I defoliated what needed it. I needcto qpplyvorganocide again. I can see random signs of septoria leaf spot. I really have been off my fame lately. I'm back on it now. This week the garden will be rearranged and I'll pull that big GDP back and better support the blueberry for flower. That NYCSA is a beast. It's resilient as all hell and just continues getting bigger and fuller. Despite pr9blems in the garden this girl seems absolutely fine. At least I don't have that defeated feeling anymore. I've got flowers on a few different plants. I'll try to get a couple pictures. I may take rapacaps advice and add a cheap plastic roof for later flower. I'm not sure if the explosive flower growth is due to the liquid kool bloom but I think I'm going to switch back to tiger bloom as it works better with the other nutes. I'll jeep this updated but I've got work to do. 8/20 Well it Rained again last night. This is getting discouraging. Now my other 9lb kush has the bottom branch all droopy like there's a borer or something. Realistically with the temp swings and the weather I think it's a firm of root rot or pythiym damage which isn't good. I posted pictures of the stalks and would be grateful if anyone has any advice. I'm go8ng back down to look again for a borer hole but i didn't see one. What it looks like to me is that the petroleum jelly I put on the stalks (to battle ear wigs) seems to keep them moist or something inviting mold or fungus. I'm kind of at a loss. I don't really know where to go from here. I don't know if I should just replant the severely damaged plant away from the rest of the grow, bag it and get rid of it or leave it be and hope for the best. I certainly don't want anything spreading. I'm getting tigerbloom today as my plants still need to eat and I'm nervous about the liquid kool bloom. It's probably fine but still. I'll update after I put in more work and research more today. Any advice helps. UPDATE: No borer holes. The stalk looks fucking horrible. It's supposed to rain today. I'm going to give it one more day then I'll amputate that branch and get rid of the other plant if I don't see an improvement. Perhaps I'll plant it in the ground. Don't really know what to do. Family bar b que today so my options are limited. 8/21 FED TWO GALLONS TO THE GARDEN. ONLY USED .5TSP/GAL OF LIQUID KOOL BLOOM. Did not feed dieing plant. Back to super hot weather 80° at 9am. Did a lot of research last night. I also went to several commercial growers and asked advice. What I came up with was a fusarium infection of pythiym infection (Crown rot). I looked at all my stalks and they all have bark and are darker where I applied the petroleum jelly. I'm also NEVER using DE again. It fucking ridiculous amounts of water. Everyone swears by it bit it's not going in my garden again. Since use I can just watch water sit right on the GD soil. I tried to get some examples of what I'm talking about with the stems. I amputated that lowest bottom branch I trained (which was huge). I didn't have time to dispose of the other plant before my wife's doctor's appointment. I'll update when I go back over. I'm sure this won't help and may hurt but I used Bee Safe 3 in 1 on the wound and around the stalks of the plants I saw discoloration on. I didn't touch the NYCSA even though I see some discoloration. I may just be seeing things. That plant I'd super healthy and I don't want to risk losing it. It doesn't seem to have the stem rot like the others. At least I'm not the only one having problems. I hears some pretty bad stories. Still. I'm heart broken. I'll keep this updated after I go back over. FUCK. I MAY just go back to indoor. UPDATE: Got back from the appointment and the rest of the plant was all droopy just like the other 9lb kush (and the branch amputated). I wondered about that because other branches looked worse. I got the totally dead 9lb kush out and found some root rot. AFTER wheeling the bag out I found earwigs and other insects where the bag had been. Awesome. I used h202 to try to wipe down anything that looked Fingal in the stem. It sucks because it seems like that liquid kool bloom pushed them over the edge into flower. Cotton balls where there was nothing. So that's both my 9lb kush plants and the largest plant of the year the GDP that have all bit the dust. If you grow cannabis you know how I'm feeling. I KEEP TRY8NGVTO UPLOAD THE MINUTE VIDEO I TOOK BUT I CLICK ON SOMETHING ELSE AND IT DISAPPEARS. WIFI SLOW. HAVE TO WAIT FOR 5G 8/22 What do I say? Fusarium? Pythium? Stem rot? I'm going to have to get a tent to do some indoor to get the medicine I need for me and my wife. I took the last 9lb kush out and disposed of it. Well it's still in the bag. I'm hoping maybe it might come out of it (beyond hope and far away from the others (but I'm going to toss it today). This blows so hard. Flowers are just starting to develop. I like the liquid kool bloom. It seems to make flowers explode when there was none before. At least on the plants I have left. Actually even the dieing ones started flowering. I'm really concerned considering that one plant (at least) has septoria and every plant has that petroleum jelly on it. Cautio to people that use that. It seems thats where the rot started or is. In spots I spread the petroleum jelly. Anyway my NYCSA has the smallest amount of "funky looking stuff on the stem" so I'm hoping it will make it. Cotton balls starting to appear. If I lose the whole fucking crop I'm gonna go ape shit. UPDATE: Spoke with a few others and did more research. I removed my braces on the bottom of all the plants. It looks like the pjelly and the brace allowed for some type of contaminate. Other growers think I'm being too bleak. They think things will turn out okay. They are more knowledgeable about cannabis than me but I'm with these particular plants everyday. They're probably right and my anxiety is just getting g to me. It's scary seeing a healthy plant completely die in such a short time. After removing the other 9lb kush I could easily see extreme rootbound roots still too the size of the 1 gallon they came in. The bag was PACKED FULL of tight roots so they definitely made it down. The plant however just fell over when I pushed it. I had roughed it up a big before. Anyway I'm praying to the cannabis gods to not take what I have left. 8/23 Fucking pouring again. This sucks. I've gotten loads of advice and made another friend on here. I forgot my phone so I couldn't take pictures this morning. My spirits are up a little seeing that others are at least attempting to help. I'm headed to the grow shop after a night of research to grab supplies to battle this. I'll update later. EDIT: I picked up plant doctor at the grow shop. It was 50% off and I couldn't find anything with trichodermia. However, I've heard good things about this plant doctor. It's systemic and can be used as a root drench and a foliar spray. BIGGEST selling point for me is that it SPECIFICALLY lists fusarium, grey mold. Pythiym crown rot, black mold and all kinds of other shit. The thing that sucks is it's raining and it's not supposed to stop for a few days. That's going to make application more difficult. Oh well. I think I may do a root drench on the one plant that has a wilted bottom branch. I'll keep this updated. Thank you everyone who reached out. Especially growing grannies and my commercial buddy who is always here for me. However he has no experience with this so I'm kinda on my own here. EDIT: I couldn't find trichodermia and I don't have time to wait around and order. I found plant doctor which literally lists it treats all the possibly pathogens my issue could be. Even has a section for medical Marijuana. I did a root drench on the plant up front in the middle AND I did a foliar spray. Might as well get the septoria too. It's systemic but it gets in faster through the leaves I guess. It started sprinkling and I want to test this stuff out before I go ham with it. I did give some to the to other plants bit left my best AND THE TWO SMALLER ONES alone for now. I'm not seeing those issues on the NYCSA and I don't want to risk damaging it. I chose tge root drench as it's raining and the instructions for fusarium WAS a root drench. Thank you all for your help. I will close out tge question once I know it's figured out. Wish me luck. DID A SHORT VIDEO BUT WIFI IS SUPER SLOW SO I NEED TO WAIT TO UPLOAD IT. Went back over. Finished foliar spraying the other two and left the NYCSA and two Littles alone. Hopefully this works. I did I short video. Who knows if it uploads. UPDATE: Went back over and finished foliar spraying. Took a bunch of pictures and did a video but it didn't upload. I'm hoping this will do it. Plants actually look good. And they're flowering nicely! It's too bad I had to do a foliar bug this us supposed to combat PM and septoria as well. 8/24 It Rained last night but hasn't Rained today yet. It's supposed to and uts overcast. I'm really considering putting a roof on my grow (like rapacap suggested) for flower to decrease mold chances. Plants looked happy. I saw no negative effects from the Plant Doctor. I even sprayed a branch of the NYCSA and the stem and a little around tge roots. I finally feel like I can take a breath. I've been working so hard and worrying about losing g everything. I may have been able to save that 9lbkush but I don't think bit was worth taking the chance. The sun is peaking out now. My buddy at the grow shop called and set a side general hydroponics armor si 0-0-4 silica supplement cause it was 90% off. I pad like a buck sixty lol. I'll incorporate that next feed or water. Whatever comes first but it will be good to get it in the regimen. I was worried plant doctor might hurt but the girls seemed to kike it and I went ham on the worst plant. I mixed according to medical Marijuana guidelines on the label (Theres another label on the internet, it's not on this one, it's at the very bottom and just recommdations from commercial growers. I hope this stuff works. Things look better already though. That liquid kool bloom is the bees knees. That's making flowers pop up like crazy! I think I'll stick with it. I was going to use beastie bloom and cha ching later on (and still might) but I hate the lockout bullshit. I've done a bunch of videos but most don't get uploaded as i forget to upload when I leave and wifi is slow here. Anyway at least I've got a few good ones left and pleating the words of my commercial poll buddy, "barring anything catastrophic you should be fine. I know your anxiety gets the better of you sometimes." Couldn't be a truer statement. I'm still getting a tent and doing indoor though. I'm going to need to. 8/25 Did some slight defoliation. I think today I'm going to reorganize my grow space. Things are looking better though. Plants look healthier. Flower is on and they are going to beat hell. I'm glad I took a cutting from NY 9lb kush. I also took one from the NYCSA. THose are tge little ones. The 9lb kush is flowering pretty good. Too bad it's just on a 3 gal. The NYCSA us in a 10 gal grow bag though and is doing amazing. I still see septoria on the leaves. I'm sure I'll need to reapply plant doctor but thus far I'm impressed. Things LOOK better. I don't even remember the last time I watered. It Rained last night. Looks sunny today. I'm going to feed tomorrow. I want the soil to dry out though. We usually don't get consistent rain like this. It's a first for me. I'll update later if I get stuff done.still wondering if I should amputate that wilted branch or give it a bit. It's still attached right now. I'll get some sealant and do some more research.

We're halfway through flower, and the girls are trucking along without much help from me. This week's only exciting thing was making compost tea (worm castings, insect frass, kelp, rock dust, basalt, biochar, molasses, and LAB) for the girls (and to kickstart my new veggie soil.) The tent has more color changes, and considering that they are clones, it's fascinating to see the differences between each plant. DLI: 42 UV: 2,5 hours per day

This was my first grow and I did a bunch of research but I mostly figured it out as I went and I really enjoyed this strain. It was very resistant and took about 90-92 days from germination to harvest. The strain seemed to bounce back extremely well even after a heavy trimming. Did not really run into any health issues with the strain other than what I diagnosed as Leaf Septoria which is caused from to much humidity and not enough circulation. But overall will grow again and was very accurately advertised by Canuk Seeds. Ended up with 256grams from this grow which I was pleasantly surprised with. Saved all the shake and made Cannabutter and Bubble Hash. Both turned out okay but with room for improvement in the future.

She appears to be doin good. She was 2 weeks later in flowering, so she still got time. I'm guessing another 2 weeks 👍 She is not gaining anymore...

Despite the fact that this is an auto flowering plant, they are a very worthy example that show that even autos can be better than photoperiodic flowers. I am growing this strain for the third time, it always pleases me with the amount of taste and, most importantly, the way it is smoked, very good THC. Thank u @Sweetseeds 🩅
