March 13, 2023, at 1:30 PM -I hit the plants with their first treated water on the 11th and lowered the light to 18 inches above the canopy. Today’s the 13th and it’s obvious that the plants are responding. The forum Stomper has really taken off and the blood orange haze number one appears to be lagging. Week one ends on 16 March. Later today I’ll water them with some treated water, hopefully. I’ll take a short video and a couple pictures. Reasons for the Forum Stomper’s vigor. ~ it’s in a different pot ~ it has less soil ~ it may be possible that my dogs pissed on the other three plants. 😡 March 14, 2023 at 3:30 PM -So far every day I’ve noticed the difference in the plants. They are definitely growing and developing quickly. The forum Stomper is still outgrowing the other plants. The blood orange haze number one is growing but slower than the rest. I’ll post some more pictures and a video from yesterday and today. March 15, 2023 at 1:33 PM ~ someone left the heater, near the plants, and expose them to 90° temperatures for about 12 hours. Thank goodness the plants aren’t that big because they seem to have actually liked it. I’ll throw up a couple pictures tomorrow. The plants technically are 14 days old on the 16th. March 16, 2023 at 3:27 PM ~Today’s the last day of week one. Watering them with treated water later today.

Cold snap past few days and my furnace is struggling to keep up, day temps around 75 F night 65 Video is overexposed, shows size difference between a 5 gal fiber pot and 10 gal SIP. 2/3 of the fiber pots did not stretch well, can see the one that did stretch in the back hiding.

Purple punch is nuts, super frosty. Even some fan leaves are covered with tricomes. I believe I will flush it very soon, maybe in the next watering. Gorilla punch beautiful plant with some purple nugs. They are getting really fat Mimosa cake still getting more and more white pistils and I hopping the nugs get fat 🙏🏼

Jan17th added videos. Just given them all a easy week. Gonna be starting to keep an eye on these , but still in cruise control for the most part. Still working on the space but have the in fan and out delt with now and dehumidifier and ac sorted so 👍🏻👍🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 we shall see how the environment here acts now . Tested the ec and ph after a watering and they both were OK with what was going in. But im really not in any rush ,still getting situated with everything. Atleast weve got that stuff sorted Smells insane tho can't wait to see how it's finished taste turns out. As always appreciate anyone that took time to check out any of my grows, and appreciate any feedback or suggestions!! Best of luck!!

W9.Day.1(59) As the ninth week of flowering arrives, my plants are doing quite well. The younger one has recovered from her injuries and has produced a plethora of buds from her seven nodes. It seems I'm on track to set a new personal record for the stem width at the base - currently, it measures 33 millimeters. My plan is to see these plants through 70 to 77 days of flowering. W9.Day.3(61) Today's music program features rave and Sanskrit. Removed some old root leaves that covers less potent colas. Sending greetings to @chamomile (https://growdiaries.com/grower/chamomile) from week nine of Grow and week two of the Challenge )) W9.Day.4(62) This week's revelation has been the attempt to change the approach to watering and nutrient application by moving away from the recommended Advanced Nutrients program to mixing all types of nutrients at a lower concentration until the end of the grow (not considering the flushing of course). So far, everything is working, and if it continues this way, it opens the path for me to fully automate the watering cycle throughout the entire grow along with nutrient application. The end goal is one container for nutrients, one connection to the water supply system, and one drainage. The ultimate aim is an automated grow. P.S. There are already plans for a robotic LST ))).

So the one girl is a week ahead with the other 2 slowly behind as popped later date, will keep diary from the 1 main girl and add the other 2 in with description as go along Entering week 2 for the main girl now with her being potted up shortly 🌱💚 Aptus nutrients are being used which atm seem very easy too follow I cant wait too start getting these girls flying 🤞 The other girls in there are humbolt seed co ice cream cake which are very slow atm and may open a diary for them or throw them in with this diary

This diary will be solely too showcase as I go along also too help me keep track here and there when needed. Not all will be correct or down too perfection but is still a journey you can join along with 🌱 Gifted these great beans from across the water and glad to finally see them pop through the soil 💚

12/25/2023-Germination Day 1 Merry X-mas 2023 I decided to start a run of SolFIre Gardens Hoodz Candyz S1. I am going to do a cup filled with RO water a touch of Hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for 24-48 hours until I see tap root then I am going to put it into a rapid rooter.. Tap root Down and put it about 1/4 of the say down the Rapid rooter. I made some modifications to my basket on this run.. I have taken a few Pods that I use for my cloning machine and decided that I am going to try and use them as sure plants, so that I can take my water right up to the bottom of the basket this time and see if these can make my planting more consistent.   12/26/2023-Germination Day 2 Tap root achieved Planting Commencing 12/27/2023-Germination Day 3 Misted the dome lightly misted the rapid rooter and added a little water to the bottom of the pan to encourage root growth to the pan. 12/28/2023-Germination Day 4 Ground Hogs day 12/29/2023- Germination Day 5 She is up, she has broken surface, I misted the root riot, and around the bottom of the tray to try and entice root growth down rapidly. 12/31/2023- Germination Day 6 Ground Hogs Day 1/1/2024-Germination Day 7 HAPPY NEW YEARS!!.. I did it I planned it out so my planting day would fall on New Years and it worked.. Yay!!! 1/2/2024- Germination Day 8 Since the roots are not to the water yet, I am pouring one cup of water lightly on the hydroton around the lady to try and encourage root growth down to the water.. 1/3/2024- Germination Day 9 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/4/2024- Germination Day 10 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/5/2024- Germination Day 11 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I am going to change the water Sunday and kick off Week 1, I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 12 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 13 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/7/2024- Germination Day 14 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water.

This week I have mostly been smoking, Venom OG. The original plan was to create a environmental cycle that would exhaust the tent of all moisture every 2-3 days, bacteria requires moisture be present as part of its trinity. Bugs also mostly need top 2-3 inches of soil to reproduce eggs. Found it a problem once the canopy developed with such a large pot, I felt moisture sat too long where air could not reach it, eventually leading to stagnation or too densely packed. Added steel mesh HVAC to soil, temp control to keep soil and roots cosy and prevent the centre of the pot stagnating. Indoor air pushed through the rootzone, oxygen being a limiting factor of growth once CO2 has been elevated and along with temps. The air injected is rich in CO2 , which is gently pressurized to ooze out the filter atop the dome and spread evenly across and down 360 degree. I've been cautious with my watering, bordering on the safe side so to speak, nutrient can only uptake where water is present, by watering gently over a large area I'm spreading the 2-3 gallon over the top surface of the pot, roots will grow and develop only where they find water regularly. I may have a 100 gallon pot but if water only penetrates the top 10% of the soil, the plant can only tap as much as it has access too. Roots won't grow and develop in arid dry soil. I may possibly add drainage under pot in future, Top wick , Bottom wick. Growth has been much slower than I'd expected,there is alot of competition for minimal real estate, the clovers roots and companion plants roots will never go deeper than a few inches, I'm hoping that the slow initial growth is just due to the extreme competition for landmass to get established. Just gotta wait a bit until the Durban roots go a bit deep past where the clover roam. Purchased some predatory bugs and I've been preparing the tent for: Chrysope verte - 1250 Stratiolaelaps scimitus - 5000 Hopefully, mess these aphids up for good. There was what was starting to look like early nitrogen deficiency, the ever so slightly yellowing of the lower leafs. Possible it's caused by the root aphids, they love to suck on the chlorophyll within the leaves which can lead to the plant withdrawing existing nitrogen from other places within the plant to replenish this can give the illusion of nutrient deficiency. My ph is fine at 6.4-6.6. Quickly rectifies once fed. No aphids on or near the cannabis, companions seem to be doing the job well. Added marigolds and chamomile seeds too. Hmmmmm Added forest moss to exposed area and edges. Again one plant is showing developmental properties superior to the others. Same result as before, this will need to be tested against identical genetic clones. * Not very tall or very big but the plant has 6-7-8 internodes.... It's funny I almost feel like the plant knows the intensity that's up infront of it.... What I think is slow development, may just be building for the future..... If that makes sense.... Similar to when I was bending the plants forcing it to reevaluate what stem it decides is the "main" this can be altered based on which the plant senses is closest to light source. It needs to have the structural integrity built now for what the plant can sense vertically. Already made out at 40,000,000 moles over the 18 hours. Plant life is intelligent in that I've watched it grow to avoid obstacles, it can sense everything around it in terms of intensity, direction, wavelength composition, every single little details is known ,calculated, and planned for based on all the information the plant can sense. I've always felt that moving a light source for any reason or even a plant pot from its original normal position, not that it's going to make a huge difference but if the goal posts are always moving then how can anyone ever construct efficiently when every metric the plant uses to sense its surroundings change every day. It's super slow growth compared to what I've witnessed before but it is also the most naturally impressive symmetrical sturdy reinforced looking stems I've seen in such a young sapling which hasn't been trained or cropped. Carry on.

This week I made the decision to remove the ScrOG net because the plant has stunted growing and the leaves were droopy before and after watering . Given the fact she is an indica dominant strain, my approach to training wasn't the best.
