Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 23 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17590.2, This week was a whole lot better than last! Lost TKO last week so Heady OG is all I have for this cycle, but wow she is looking beautiful! Buds are getting thick! Checked trichomes and decided to let her grow for a few more weeks. The veg garden has been growing along healthy and all mothers are looking beautiful! Topped three of the moms and have been tending to the spare clones in the tray. Also been prepping for tissue culture and plan to start very soon! Onwards to next week Ensign! [START OF WEEK 23] ========================================================== ---------- [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] ---------- Heady OG BX1 #1 [Round4 ~Wk16] - WEEK 23 - Full Bloom Wk7 ----------- [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ------------ TKO - WEEK 06 - Full Veg Gorilla Goat #1 - WEEK 02 - Full Veg Heady OG BX1 - WEEK 06 - Full Veg Garlic Budder OG#1 - WEEK 02 - Full Veg 09/22/25 → 09/28/25 This Week's Estimated Goals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DLI: ~45 mol/m²/d PPFD: ~1042 μmol/m²/s VPD: ~1.1 kPa This Week's Meter Readings & Averages ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Light On/Off: 19:00 - 07:00 | Wattage: ~390.1W [LV05] Distance From Canopy: ~2” DLI: ~50.07 mol/m²/d PPFD: ~1159 μmol/m²/s VPD: ~0.92 kPa Soil %: [49.3, 39.6, 33.1, 52.4, 43.1, 41.4, 43.7, 43.1] ========================================================== Day 01 - Monday - 09/22/25 - Total Days: 162 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 86.0°F [30.0°C] - Humidity: 79.5% - VPD: 0.88 kPa - Soil %: [49, 41, 34, 53, 43, 41, 45, 46] ----------------------------------- - [+00:22]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Alright! The garden has definitely looked better, but growth is looking okay! --- Heady OG (BX1 #1) is looking green and her top buds are swelling up! --- TKO is toast… Damnit Ensign! Sorry girl.. --- Heady is all I have for this cycle now, but she is looking good so just going to grow on. - [+00:25]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 45% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 41% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 34% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 53% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 40% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - TKO] ------ 41% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 40% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 45% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [+00:34]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Okay!! Looking great in the veg garden! --- Glad that the TKO mom is thriving and wow the Heady OG mother is looking a lot better now! --- The canopy looks really healthy and growth is perky and soaring upwards! --- The original Garlic Budder #1 mother is getting quite tall as well. --- Will need to top the canopy soon. --- Both of the spare clones in the propagation tray look healthy and green! --- The Garlic Budder #2 clone needs water. - [+00:42]: Here is the starting initial watering range: ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 256.4g → 300.2g --------- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet] --- Took the starting weight before watering, ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 258.2g --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted her straw mulch with RO water. --- Tried to keep the top growth dry. --- Misted 5-10 sprays. Waited a few seconds, then misted again. --- Made sure to reference the watering weights. --- Repeated this process until the cup weighted at least 300g. --- There was no runoff. - [+01:00]: Took the saturated weight after watering, ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 320.6g --- Marked the watering date on the side of the cup. Also marked the saturated weight on the back. --- Placed her back into the tent. --- Why not! Decided to top the mothers. --- Growth is getting too close to the grow light. - [+01:03]: Using a pair of clean trimmers, --- Cut and removed a good 5-6 inches of top growth. --- Topped all mothers except the Gorilla Goat #1 mom. --- Mulched the trimmings. --- The veg garden is looking healthy and is growing strong! - [+01:18]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Plan to start prepping for tissue culture soon and am still researching the initial process. Day 02 - Tuesday - 09/23/25 - Total Days: 163 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 86.0°F [30.0°C] - Humidity: 78.4% - VPD: 0.92 kPa - Soil %: [49, 41, 34, 53, 43, 40, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [13:03]: Time to start prepping for my first attempt at tissue culture! --- Ordered and received the AC Infinity PH Meter PRO [AC-PHM7] --- Since this is a brand new unit, the probe sensor needs to be cleaned and conditioned for calibration. --- For proper storage and conditioning, the meter includes a bottle of KCL (Potassium Chloride) storage solution. --- For a basic 2-point calibration, the pH meter also includes 7.00 pH [Mid] and 4.00 pH [Low] calibration solution. --- The pen does support a 3-point calibration, but does not include the 10.1 pH [High] calibration solution. For growing, the pH should never get that high anyways. The ideal averages are all below 7.00 pH [Mid to Low Points]. --- The meter also includes solutions for conductivity calibration, but don’t need these for tissue culture. --- Okay let's go! - [13:09]: Took the cap off of the unit and examined the new sensor probe. --- There was a tiny bit of condensation and a micro drops of the KCL storage solution in the cap. --- The glass sensor was clean, but the seal for the cap had a bit of mineral build-up. This is apparently normal for new meters. --- Swirled the probe in distilled water for a bit making sure to fully saturate the sensor and to rinse off the old KCL solution. --- Wiped the mineral deposits off with a clean paper towel. Made sure to be gentle around the glass probe and tried not to touch it much. --- Also cleaned and rinsed the cap with distilled water and dried with a paper towel. - [13:16]: Opened and poured about 3/4 of the KCL solution into the cap. --- Placed and probe cap back on making sure the sensor is fully soaking in the storage solution. --- Done! - [13:19]: The unit should be ready for a first-time calibration after a 30-minute soak, but going to be soaking for a lot longer. --- The probe needs to stay stored in this KCL solution and will top off with more as needed. --- Plan to calibrate the meter right before checking and adjusting the pH for the establishment media. --- Compared to my last pH meter (cheap Amazon pen), this one is a huge upgrade in both accuracy and complexity. --- Will need to do a bit of research on how to calibrate and use this meter properly. - [16:36]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- With the recent TKO disaster in the main tent, glad that everything is looking healthy in the veg garden! --- All mothers (including TKO) are looking green and getting bigger! --- Now that the watering system is working again, the Heady OG mother is looking a lot better and she is starting to perk up. Ca-Caw! Nice! --- Even the spare clones in the tray are looking good and no need to water. Great! - [17:01]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 47% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 40% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 34% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 53% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 47% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - TKO] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 44% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 44% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] --- All watering units are functioning properly! - [20:37]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Looking great in the garden! --- Still hurts to have lost TKO, she’s completely yellow and crispy.. --- On the flipside, Heady OG has clearly survived and is looking beautiful with bud colas getting frosty and thick! --- Anyways, time to take the weekly height and PPFD readings, but will only take readings for Heady OG from now on. - [20:46]: Took the weekly general PPFD readings. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was around 1159 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 50.07 mol/m²/d under a 12/12 light cycle (LV5 @ ~390.1W). - [20:55]: Took the weekly height and light distance measurements. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 52" tall. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 2" away from the grow light. --- These readings were taken from the tallest bud colas so the average height and PPFD levels are lower. - [21:25]: Checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is charged and water is still flowing. - [21:56]: Okay! Still prepping for tissue culture (TC) and need to cut some plastic wrap. Let's go! --- Using a PVC cutter, cut a roll of plastic wrap into twelve 1-inch pieces. - [22:15]: Done! --- Instead of para or lab film, these saran wrap rolls will be used to secure the lids of the explant containers after transplant. --- Shout out to Laur and Plants-In-Jars for the useful and in-expensive alternative! --- Okay! Almost all set to give tissue culture a go and will begin preparation of the establishment media next week. --- Getting hyped! - [22:21]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Independently --- With that said, growth is getting close to the grow light and needs to be topped. - [16:18]: Using a pair of cleaned trimmers, --- Cut and removed about 5-6 inches of canopy growth. --- Nice! Everything is lower and a lot more even. --- The original Garlic Budder #1 mother is beautiful and squat so did not need to top. --- Clones in the propagation tray look healthy and no need to water. - [17:40]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 49% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 40% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 33% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 52% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 42% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - TKO] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 43% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 42% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [19:09]: Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Main Tent [4x4] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Flower [12/12]' Schedule for the exhaust fan. ------ Switched the Mode from ‘CONTINUOUS AUTO’ to ‘CONTINUOUS VPD’ ------ Set the VPD HIGH trigger value to OFF ------ Set the VPD LOW trigger value to 1.1kPa ------ Set the MIN/MAX values to 1/8 ------ Set the VPD Dynamic Transition value to 0.2kPa --- This should cause the fan to ramp up from 1 to 8 when the VPD drops below 1.1kPa and should ramp back down to 1 when the VPD rises above 1.1kPa - [19:21]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Heady OG is growing along beautifully and she is smelling dank! --- Top colas are getting pretty fat with trichomes! - [19:32]: Alright! Time to check the trichomes! --- Using my phone’s wide-macro mode (Samsung S22), --- Took a few close-up shots of some of Heady OG’s top buds. --- Mostly seeing clear and cloudy with just speckles of amber just starting. --- Since these are top buds, the bottom growth tends to be less mature. --- Will probably take microscope samples next time in a week or so. --- Wow at this rate, harvest time will probably be in 3-4 weeks! --- Getting stoked! Grow strong my girl! - [19:43]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. - [19:45]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Week 4 started. Defoliated on day 21. Looks like they're fine with it 😉 The smell is ridiculous. I cannot touch them without them stinking like crazy (and me with them). Got that frost going on, hope they'll keep it coming!

Great climate, ideal. After careful consideration, valued the considerable size of the plants, the flowering stage and the yellowing of the bottom canopy , I decided to feed one last time with veg nutes at half dose. This will be followed by 2 waterings of water only and then a boost of flowering nutrients. Here we are. It happened overnight, nothing the night before, the next morning there are pistils everywhere. Looking at the structure of the branches , I think they will be monstrous buds. Stay tuned for a monster crop. This beast is insanely hungry of nutes. For now absolutely pests-resistant. Thanks for following, I ❤️ you

🌱 GMO Cookies — Week 3 VEG Report (12/12 from seed | Autoflower behaving in sync with photoperiods) General Overview Week 3 of vegetative growth comes to a close with GMO Cookies performing exceptionally well. Just like the other autoflowers in the room, she continues to behave in a way that closely mirrors the photoperiod plants — steady, structured, and rhythmically aligned with the rest of the genetics in the tent. Despite the diversity of cultivars running side by side, all plants are maintaining very similar height, pace, and development, each expressing itself slightly differently but moving forward together. This consistency speaks volumes about both the genetics and the stability of the environment. Growth & Structure • Vegetative stage: Ongoing • Flowering signs: None observed • Node count: 6 nodes • Growth habit: Compact, controlled, well-balanced • Leaf expression: • Lush, deep green • Broad, healthy leaflets • Excellent turgor and texture Growth this week can only be described as spectacular. Internodal spacing remains tight, structure is clean, and the plant shows no signs of stress, deficiency, or imbalance. Autoflower vs Photoperiod Behavior Even though GMO Cookies is an autoflower and has been run 12/12 from seed, she continues to challenge expectations. At this point, it’s still difficult to clearly distinguish behavioral differences between autos and photoperiods in this room. Everything is moving: • At the same rhythm • At the same pace • Under the same conditions This reinforces an important observation: environmental consistency often outweighs genetic labels, especially early on. ⸻ 📸 Photo Session & Documentation This week, GMO Cookies was briefly removed for a dedicated photo session using an improvised studio setup. Photography setup highlights: • Sony A6700 camera • iPad used as a remote control and live viewer • Controlled backlighting for leaf detail and depth • Full camera control (aperture, ISO, settings) without touching the camera This approach eliminates camera shake and allows for precise adjustments on the fly — crucial for capturing clean, sharp images, especially when documenting fine leaf texture and color. Since these images are being shared publicly, it felt important to be transparent about the process behind them. ⸻ Environment — Room Conditions (Week 3) • Photoperiod: 12/12 from seed • Day temperature: ~26 °C • Night temperature: ~18 °C • Relative Humidity: 60–65% • Airflow: Gentle, constant, non-stressful • Solution temperature: ~21 °C • Substrate temperature: ~21 °C Everything remains stable and dialed in, allowing the plants to focus fully on root and vegetative development. ⸻ 💡 Lighting • PPFD: ~600–700 (adjusted to plant size) • Plants continue to grow into the light naturally, with no stretch or light stress observed. • Incremental increases are proving effective and well-tolerated. ⸻ 💧 Watering & Nutrition • pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.0 Nutrient program: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal Foliar: • Vita Race • Applied selectively and intentionally, not on a rigid schedule This combination continues to support strong root activity, clean metabolism, and vibrant vegetative growth. ⸻ 🔍 What to Expect / What Not to Expect (Week 4) What to expect: • Continued vegetative expansion • Further node stacking • Increasing leaf mass and photosynthetic capacity What not to expect (yet): • No flowering initiation • No sudden stretch • No need to push inputs or change rhythm Patience remains key. The plant is clearly still building its foundation. ⸻ Final Thoughts Week 3 confirms that GMO Cookies is happy, stable, and well-adapted to this setup. There is no rush, no force, and no correction needed — just observation and consistency. Same rhythm. Same environment. Same respect for the process.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Day 50 - Nearly at her end, some pretty buds have formed showing pink/red colours. Trichomes were checked and they are showing pretty much all milky white at the moment, I saw a few Amber but I'd like to see atleast 30% Amber before they get harvested. The buds are rock hard and full of unique smells which I hope translates to the flavour profile. I will be flushing these girls for the remainder of the grow which shouldn't be too long now. Keep a close eye as I will be uploading some more pictures and videos. Hoping to do a photo shoot once all is ready. Day 54- some bud shots for you all to see the development/progress Follow the YouTube and Instagram on profile here for more. Stay tuned

This week was ok. For the most part, the plants seem to be more healthier this week than the last 2. I decided to do a light flush yesterday on all plants. I ran 5 gallons of light strength nutrients through each plant. I can say that it did benefit the plants judging by the run off..i was able to get my runoff ph up to 5.7. At 1st I was getting 5.3. All of this happened because I didn't calibrate my ph pen from the last grow. Lesson learned. My initial goal was to flip into flowering next week which would complete an 8 week veg, but now i won't flip until I know the ladies are fully healthy. We shall see how they respond this next week..ill keep yall updated in my next upload

June 16, 2024 Day 57 This week nothing changes with the nutrient schedule. I cleaned out the reservoirs and gave fresh nutes. I also made sure to double check the height of all the plants and we have a final height for each of them. Sour Diesel A is looking pretty good. Her final height is 23". Her bud production is looking pretty good as well. Trichomes are coming through quite nicely. Sour Diesel B is looking really good with her frosty fat nugs. Her final height is 21". I haven't touched her so I don't know how sticky she is nothing. But I see good things coming to this lady. Huge buds and lots of frost. Sour Diesel C is frosty, covered in nugs and has a final height of 30.5" tall. She looks fantastic and I wonder what her final yield will be. Her bud production is coming along nicely with buds starting to swell. Sour Diesel D is shaping out to be my lowest yielder. She has very little bud on her and what she does have is a bit slow to develop. I have a feeling this will be my extraction plant. Edibles and concentrate. The lighting is looking great at 45 mol/m²/d. Nothing to change. The plants are very happy. The environment is almost back to normal. The humidity is below 60% for the most part. Yesterday it was all the way down to 52%. Today just under 60% for the morning anyway. The Central Air should be kicking on in an hour or two. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 55.3% VPD: 1.27 kPa June 17, 2024 Nothing going on today. No watering, no training, no pics. Just a smooth day in the tent. Sour Diesel A looks good. Lots more frost. Buds are swelling. Everything looks great. Sour Diesel B had a couple leaves popped off, ones that were overlapping Sour Diesel C. Her buds are huge and I'm already starting to see orange pistils. She smells awesome too. Definitely Sour Diesel smell. Sour and gas. And a bit of sweetness as well. Very nice aroma. Sour Diesel C is looking fantastic. Her buds are also swelling and her trichome production is amazing. So frosty and smelly. As long as the buds continue to swell at this rate, this lady will be a pretty good yielder. Sour Diesel D is small as ever. Her buds are swelling quite nicely. They are bigger than A and C for now, but not as frosty. I'm honestly not sure if I did something wrong or if this is how she grew naturally. I didn't screw up the nutrients, nor did I add any stress except for the small defoliation. But that was right when she stopped stretching. I guess I'll find out at the end of the run. I also pulled a couple outer leaves off to keep them from overlapping other plants. Lighting is of course the same as yesterday, and won't be changing until the last 2 weeks of flower. I might drop the intensity down a bit for the last leg of the run. I'm going to research this though. As these are autoflowers they're fine with constant light, but at the end are they looking for less light? I think so. Naturally in the world, the end of a growing season is when it starts to drop on temp and light. So it would make sense to drop the light intensity the last week to help induce maturity and more trichomes. That's what it's supposed to do. I'm not sure if that's the case with autos. Will research and report back. The environment was great yesterday. Today it's a bit humid in my room but it's also kinda humid outside and 83°. It's supposed to climb up to 88° today, so I'm hoping the central AC will kick on early. The room temp is well controlled around 70°. Once the AC kicks on the humidity should drop down to around 52%. Not ideal, but actually within range. If I can somehow get it below 50% I'll be happy. 52% is merely satisfactory but not perfect. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.7° RH: 56.1% VPD: 1.30 kPa June 18, 2024 It's Picture Day! Did some stuff today. No watering or anything like that. Sour Diesel A is doing quite well. Her buds are swelling more and more. She's even frostier. I cannot wait to see how frosty she gets by the end. I also checked her roots. I figured out why the container is light. The roots are taking in all the water they can directly before it gets to the container. I'll have to top feed in a day or 2 if she gets lighter. However, she hasn't lost anymore weight in days, but I really need her to moisten the soil in the container. Sour Diesel B is now producing orange pistils. And kinda rapidly. I knew she would be done first, maybe a couple weeks left for her. I think next week, if she is as far along as I think she will be, I'll switch out Big Bud for Overdrive for the rest of the grow. But we shall see. Sour Diesel C is looking really good. Her buds are swelling more and she's even more frosty. As we all know, this one is about a week behind the others, so I expect more swelling and some fat buds. Sour Diesel D needed some leaves trimmed today. They were super overcrowded in one particular spot. So I took 3 of those and then a couple outer leaves that grew out since my last defoliation. Her main cola is getting fat. Just not fat enough. I have a feeling I'm getting no more than 2 oz. I'm guessing just over an oz. We shall see. She's definitely not big enough and doesn't have enough bud to produce a good yield. Oh well. The rest are pretty promising, so I'm not too worried. I added to the lighting today. I have supplemental lighting from AC Infinity. So I installed them today just below the top of the canopy. It should help with the lowers and get more fat buds throughout all 4 plants. I'll keep it at level 7 for today and see how things look tomorrow. The only concern I have is too much light from the main light due to the extra light from the supplemental bars. However, it should do quite well. So we are in a humid heat wave for the rest of the week. The Central Air should be kicking on anytime and will definitely drop the humidity down to about 50%. The temp should stay around 75° to 76°. Currently the humidity is really high at 66%. I'll be keeping the tent door open every hour or so until the A/C turns on. The temp is kind of high as well at 79°. I think I need to try to get the bedroom temp down to 76°. Wish me luck. It's already 82° and climbing. Afternoon update: Damn it's hot. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.7° RH: 55.8% VPD: 1.34 kPa June 19, 2024 Not much going on today. I may need to water, but that's a maybe. Other than that, just the one pic. Sour Diesel A looks great. Surprisingly, she is nearly empty where the other 3 have more water in them. Her bottom is also more moist than normal. She's in the way back and I didn't bother taking the plants out today. I'll take her out tomorrow and inspect her for any issues. Although, I'm pretty sure I'll be refilling her reservoir this evening and might as well refill the rest. Sour Diesel B is getting more orange pistils. I will have to research when I should be adding Overdrive now that I don't think she has more than 3 weeks left. 2 of flower and 1 of flush. Maybe just a week more in flower. I'm not sure. Researching. She's also getting the natural foxtails I read about. Apparently Sour Diesel, in general, foxtails. We shall see how it comes out. There should be no foxtails based on the environment unless the humidity can cause it. I'll have to research that as well. Sour Diesel C actually took the least amount of water for this watering. She's still about half full where the rest are near empty to about a quarter full. I find it interesting that she isn't drinking like a fish. She's in the second half of flower and should be super thirsty. I'll check the moisture content of the soil tomorrow when I refill the reservoir. Sour Diesel D is getting a nice fat main cola. She is the second most empty with less than a quarter gallon left. It's funny. I'm starting to think it's not the plants, but the dehumidifier on that side. I think it's evaporating the water faster than the plants can drink it. I might have to either move it or take it out all together. We shall see. The lights seems to be doing quite well. I don't see any stress from the supplemental light bars. If I start seeing it, I'll drop the power down to 50%, but I doubt it. They are attached to the poles vertically. I would have much rather had them horizontal, but I took my support bars out. I can't reinstall them or I won't be able to take the plants out. So that's out the window. So vertical it is. I may however install the inside bars if I can and then mount the front one to the tent door with a magnet bar. I might try that tomorrow when the plants are out of the tent. The environment is killing me. When the Central Air is off, the humidity spikes like 12%. Now the humidity is ridiculously high yet again at 67%. I really hate not having a wall or window AC. That would solve all of my problems. So I'm screwed until the AC kicks on. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.1° RH: 59.2% VPD: 1.22 kPa June 20, 2024 It's picture day! We have some happy ladies and there isn't anything to really do today. Sour Diesel A is getting fatter buds. They are kind of small, but it's still only week 4 of flower. She's still a little light. I might top feed a quarter gallon. Maybe with Recharge in it. I'll have to decide what to do. She's definitely not struggling, but she does have upward clawing edges. I'll have to research what that means. She is still the frostiest of the bunch. Sour Diesel B is getting even fatter. Frost is starting to come through pretty quickly now. I can't wait for this one to finish up. Sour Diesel C took quite well to the small bit of top watering I did yesterday. Her buds are still small, but that is to be expected with this one. I can tell they will swell up pretty good and there will be a nice bunch of colas. Sour Diesel D looks great. Her leaves are a lush green still, her buds are getting fat and stacking like mad. The buds are so close together, the plant looks like it has a tiny football on its top. I wonder what she will look like all trimmed up. Probably very small. The lighting seems to be fine now. The praying has lessened, so I know the lighting was an issue. Now that it's fixed, it should be business as usual. The environment is absolutely wrong now. The humidity is in the 70s today. And the temp is in the 80s. Just have to wait for the house AC to kick on. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.7° RH: 58.2% VPD: 1.23 kPa June 21, 2024 Nothing going on today. No watering, no light changes and I didn't even pull them out. I can see everything that I need to see. Sour Diesel A is getting orange pistils now and seems to be swelling more. Her buds are a little small, but I expect them to swell up over the next 2 to 3 weeks. Sour Diesel B should be done in a couple weeks. She has orange pistils everywhere. I was thinking she would go the same time as everyone else, but it looks like she will be done a week before the rest. Sour Diesel C is looking great as ever. She is a week behind and has all white pistils. Her buds are also a bit small, but I expect them to fill out over the next 4 weeks. Maybe 3. Sour Diesel D needed a few leaves cut from the main cola. The foliage is just way too thick there. I'm afraid the buds won't swell because there's no space at all. Even cutting the leaves off did next to nothing. The lighting didn't change at all. That's it. No changes. The environment is doing the same thing as the last 3 days. High humidity in the morning and lower humidity in the afternoon. Today the temp is a bit wonky sitting kinda high at 78°. Too high for happy trichomes. I'm working on dropping the temp back down to 75°. 74° would be ideal, but this strain also likes it really warm. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 59.1% VPD: 1.20 kPa June 22, 2024 Last day of week 4 and we got some pictures! And a video. Sour Diesel A is doing quite well. She has some pretty nice stacks going on. But the most trichomes production. I also popped a few leaves off. They were getting crushed. Only a few though. Sour Diesel B may be ready for Overdrive. I'll check tomorrow, but I don't think she'll be growing much more. Her pistils are about 50% orange, but still stark white on the bottoms. So I might wait a week before starting Overdrive. Big Bud is supposed to go to week 6, but this is a 45 day flowering cycle. A total of 6.5 weeks. Based on that info, I think next week will be a good start for Overdrive and then leave it for week 6 and then flush for week 7. And then harvest. I also took 2 leaves off. They were also being crushed. Sour Diesel C is coming along nicely. She has super long stacks covered in frosty bud. Not a single orange pistil. I'd say she has another 3 weeks before flush. Yet another plant that I took some leaves from. Just a few though. Sticking out and overlapping other plants. Sour Diesel D has this hot mess of a main cola. It's ridiculously large, but it's just a whole bunch of super tight nodes. I'm not sure what it's going to do, but trimming it will be a super pain in the bottom parts. No leaf removal today, but I did take 3 yesterday. As for lighting, I think I should have left the support bars in the tent. I'm not really liking the vertical supplemental lighting. I'd much rather them be horizontal along each wall. I feel like that would be the best way for adding the lower light. I may add the bard tomorrow, but just the back and sides. I still need to be able to pull the plants out for watering and to check for any issues. Not that I think there will be any issues, but you never know. The environment is the same as yesterday and the day before. High humidity in the morning and lower humidity in the afternoon. The temp is bouncing around a bit. Up to 80° this morning and now down to 78°. Too high. I need to try to drop the heat down more. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.7° RH: 59.3% VPD: 1.21 kPa

It was an honor! Hat Von Anfang bis Ende Spaß gemacht die Dame. Mal Probleme gehabt mit Fäule, nach Kontakt mit Regen! Im Wintergarten untergebracht, musste die Fäule weichen. Ne ohne Spaß, hat einfach aufgehört zu faulen und mega produziert! Denke aber ohne greenhouse eher ein Fall für den Kompost geworden;)☮️

D98 : growing nicely. Stretching a bit now that she's had about a week in the 10 gallon. I've had my first request of clones from a friend so I'm going make four little cuts off this one for him. D100: very bushy and dense again, check out all the leaves and sticks. trained it out again. So so many branches. I'm not sure how it'll flower with so many branches being so close together. Took four clones for a friend as well.

Всё норма , наш Himars M142 растёт хорошо . За неделю вырос на 20 см . Удобрение сделал сам ))) 0.5 кг чая грузинского залил 0.5 литра воды , настоялся 2 часа розбавил на 2,5 литра воды и этим раствором поливаю . И ещё одна удобрюха - 2 банана перемолол в блендере затем эту кашу размещал в 2 литрах воды , процедил и 2 дня настаиволась это смесь ,ей и поливал . Everything is fine, our Himars M142 is growing well. It has grown 20 cm in a week. I made the fertilizer myself))) I steeped 0.5 kg of Georgian tea in 0.5 liters of water for 2 hours, diluted it with 2.5 liters of water and watered the plant with this solution. And another fertilizer - I blended 2 bananas and placed the mixture in 2 liters of water, strained it, and let the mixture steep for 2 days. Then, I watered the plant with this mixture.

That was the first and definite not last grow of Greenhouse Seeds Lemon Orange. She has grown very wide with strong and heavy branches, buds also really crazy exploded. The taste should satisfy every fruity lover out there , the high is uplifting , not too much body, for me a pretty nice allday smoke. I also find a medical aspect in it , i suffer under depression and it gave me nice moments. Update: After a time with it , i'm even more convinced, it also give me energy to get started / going. I thank Arjan and all Greenhouse employees, especially Georgia from CS , for this wonderful plant.
