For the Grow section on my page: Throughout the germination stage, I explored three distinct seed germination techniques: the direct soil implantation, immersion in a hydroponic medium, and the classic paper towel method. My tests involved the Gods Gift autoflower from Premium Cultivators, Northern Lights from Royal Queen Seed Bank, and the F1 Epsilon strain, also from Royal. My primary focus, however, has been on the F1 Epsilon strain. As part of my shift towards commercial operations, I'm currently pushing the potential of these seeds to achieve maximum efficiency and productivity. I'm in the midst of identifying the optimal strains for my commercial venture. My objective, quite simply, is to strike an optimal balance between quality and yield for my future cannabis crops. With astute business planning and leveraging emerging laws, I plan to provide these products at a significantly lower price than my competitors. End of Germination Stage - Staring Vegetation Stage Day 9 - I inadvertently oversaturated my plants with nutrients, which led to the immediate demise of two plants. A key lesson learned was that utilizing old woolite medium is not advisable. Instead, using dirt plugs proves to be a more effective method. Moreover, it's crucial to ensure that nutrients are introduced directly into the water supply to avoid any potential harm to the plants. Additional Note: For enhanced root stability and quicker access to the water supply, it's important to situate the dirt plugs deeply within the pebbles. Also ensure germination process as follows: 12 hour soak, drop into soil plug deep into hydroponics pebble medium.

UPDATE -Leaves showing signs of stress coming up to harvest. -Trichomes cloudy, just waiting on more ambers. GENETICS: -MSNL - Gorilla Glue Auto ~ my favorite strain, as you can tell by my username! WATER: -Condensed (Starting at 40ppm) -Disinfected prior to adding nutrients etc. (Using COOSPIDER UVC - 253nm & 187nm bulb) CLIMATE: - Ambient Air Temp = 29'C ~ 28'C LST ~ Leaf to air temp variance of between 1'C - Night Temp = 22/23'C ~ Day/Night temp differential 6-7'C - Under Canopy Temp: 26'C (Day) ~ 21'C (Night) - Relative Humidity = 50-60%RH (Avg. 55%RH) - VPD = 1.45kPa (Avg.) - Co2 ranges from 900ppm to 1500ppm (Avg. 1200ppm) AIR PRESSURE: - Ambient Air Pressure (outside tent) = Mean Avg. 1010 mbars (101 Kilopascals) - Actual Air Pressure (inside tent) = Mean Avg. 1005 mbars (100.5 Kilopascals) - Air Pressure Differential = up to 0.5 kPa range between inside & outside LIGHT: - UVB~ 2 hours daily mid light cycle. - Warm White 3000K/White 5000k/Far Red (660nm) - At plant canopy = PPFD 900-1000umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 45,000-55,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 55-65 - Under canopy lighting ~ Blue (460nm)/ Red (630nm) NUTRIENTS: - Mostly Advanced Nutrients (For base nutrients and most additives, as only company I could find scientific data on) - Canna (For Calmag Agent and Cannazym) - Plant Success (Great White Mycorrhizae) ADDITIONAL GROW TECHNIQUES: - Mostly getting out of the plants way and letting nature take its course. - Some LST. (i.e. tying down branches and tucking large leaves away) - No HST or Defoliation. INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL: Infection control practices i.e -PPE, Alcohol Hand wash -Gray room outside tent, -Carbon filter -HEPA filter -Plasma Ionizer -Inline UV-C germicidal bulb - Also using an additional higher powered COOSPIDER (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins. - Ozone (o3) gas that is produced using the COOSPIDER, is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens. - Ed Rosenthal (Zero Tolerance organic pesticide), sprayed once a week as preventative measure. On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak (No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

These are coming along well! They are very happy and are growing vigorously. They started developing lots of pistils over the past couple days and they look super healthy. I have been watering heavily and they are soaking it up. The far right plant is still much taller than the others but not much I can do about it at this point. Thankfully it seems like they have stopped stretching for the most part. Hopefully all their energy will go to making big buds in the coming weeks!

2/17/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I removed some of the water to see where the roots were only one had roots in the water. However I want to go ahead and get them on Week one Nutes So I am over 50 gallons of water in the system so I mixed the Trio at a 1.0mil per Gallon but restricted it to a top of 50 gallons period. I top fed the other two to keep encouraging root growth. I also finished my drying and curing from my last run and wanted to show what it looks like all bagged up and in the cannatrol. I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 37.5Mil FloraMicro = 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil FloraGro= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil FLoraBloom= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil EPSOM- 1 big pinch 2/18/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I top fed #1 and #3 since they still don't have roots in the water, I will continue one top feed a day until roots hit water. 2/19/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- #3 now has root in the water.. Yay!! I now have #2 and #3 with roots in the water so no top feed for them. I only had to top feed #1 and the only reason I didn't just go ahead and cull her today was I am responsible for breaking her tap root and stunting her, I wasn't careful enough and she was the first to show a good root. In that vain I will carry her a few more day's top feeding but if not root by the end of the week she is getting culled. 2/20/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water. I also removed the humidity shields from #2 and #3 today the ladies were touching the sides so they are done with the extra shields.. 2/21/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today Morning: I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water, Evening: I decided that the roots of the two are looking great so I am going to drain and bump the Nutes to a full Week 1/ Week 2 Nute base. I added 36 Gallons I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil FloraMicro = 3Mil/Gal= 108Mil FloraGro= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil FLoraBloom= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil 2/22/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I Ensured the PH was not too high as the system continues to cycle the water and adjust, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water, 2/23/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Still have to Top Feed #1 no roots in the water, however she is still progressing nicely slower than her sisters with roots in the water but still going strong.

This week went fairly well, but I became concerned with some leaves appearing crispyfried along the edges and some looking deficient. I finally started cutting my girls and I have to say, I felt ashamed at wounding my babes but hopefully it'll go the right way, guess we'll see!!! I also flushed my plants with ph Balanced water this week and going to only provide this to water/feed them for another few days for fear of nutrient burn and simply following the feed schedule for my nutrients. Also, I took some pics for the Christmas contest for Crop King Seeds lol hope you like them more than my Paw did! I want to send a big shout out to my Dad who is giving me advice based upon his UNCA Biology BS experiences... Thanks Paw!!! I also want to say thank you for all the likes and interest in my grow, much love yall! See you next week!!! What follows below is the transcribed daily notes from the images above! 12/9 Plants looking good, I fed/watered w/Sunday's Ph 6.2 6tsp/ga Big Bloom & 3 tsp ga Grow Big. Next time I'll flush. I don't know if my runoff ph is bad or good because the plants are eating leaving acidic runoff 12/10 Plant 1 looks so Good, might be time for LST soon 12/11 Plants all showing Improvement/Growth Plant 3 still slowest but she's still growing. Under grow lights I think I see fringe yellow tips. Still on track to flush w/Plain H2o next watering. 12/12 Flushing w/ PH Balanced H2O no noots. Plant 1 has a leaf turning yellow on half so went with ph balanced water w/no nuets to flush all. 3 Growing ok but still a little off looking 12/13 Moved inlet vent to point up and clip on fan to blow on girls. Plants look great after a day of plain H2O. 12/14 Plant one having a small bit of leaf burn on widest leaves and a weird dying on lower leaf. They looked bad under light so I pruned em. Turned up humidifier to 65% been running low. 12/15 Topped Plant 2 Rinsed all w/PH Balanced H2O. Nervous I took too much from #2 But my thinking was I went easy on 1 yesterday so go aggressive on 2 to view effects. 12/16 Trimmed 2 crispy leaves off Plant 1 used Bonsai paste to cover wounds, Plant 2 stem looks narrow@ base wider up top. Trimmed 2 sucker leaves (1st leaves) from Plant 4 Rinsed all w/ PH Balanced H2O Thats it! Thanks yall, see ya next week!

Chopped on day 57 from from first pistils. Could’ve let them go another week but I have some commitments coming up and I need to dry and jar these flowers before I head out of town for 2 weeks. Will post the harvest report as soon as they’re finished drying. Stay tuned.

Apollo is coming along nicely and enjoying new friends, zkittles, gorilla cookies and granddaddy purple. All autos. Godzilla cookies is the runt. Apollos schedule : Water & feed Tues, Thurs, and Sunday. Increased TPS to early bloom at 9ml/g and Signal to 3ml/g. I think she could use more fertilizer but I'm gun shy on feeding too much. I noticed the new leafs are thinner than veg leaves indicating early flower. No pics on 10/12. My special day. 10/13 pics and video outside before first defoliation. And after defoliation. Note to reduce impact of stress, I ground up 1 of my B vitamins and dispersed in water after feeding on Friday 13th. Apollo is strong. Once I did definition you can really see her. 1)Very thick strong stem. 2) Very tight node structure. There was no space between the first and 2nd leaf group. 3) Side shoots almost as thick as the mail stem 4) roots at the soil top. I used MycoBliss in the soil and planting hole.

November 2nd marks another week with "Verlena" and "Carolyn". Verlena has transitioned into flower, yet Carolyn remains in veg. I should be placing them both in their 3 gallon homes this week. November 3, 2021, Wednesday. Nothing new to report. November 4, 2021, Thursday. All is well no issues to report. November 5, 2021, Friday. I watered the girls with MG Organics 11-3-8 and they respond quickly and positively. November 6, 2021, Saturday. Watered again with MG Organics. November 7, 2021, Sunday. Day of rest.

Fat buds and 4 phenotypes. The first two are very similar: indica and very productive. One is a highly sativa phenotype who grows high but have large-indica leaves. At last I found a not so big yielding phenotype but it produced top buds with much resin.

I'm back! I'm sorry for taking such a long break. It wasn't planned! We had to buy weed off the street, just like old times! What a shame. We have moved and I finally have room for a new tent, this time for 3 plants! Plus matching lights. Unfortunately the exhaust is still missing, but nothing smells at the moment. So I'm waiting for the next pay cheque for that. I have Royal Queen Seeds to thank for sponsoring the seeds. I've been looking forward to trying this strain for a long time. This is my first grow using only Bio Tabs fertiliser. I've been wanting to try their range for a long time because I'm convinced it's best to use as little liquid fertiliser as possible - most of it is water and that means more weight, more transport costs and more packaging. The Just Add Water plan is also very attractive to me as I am very busy at the end of the year. So thank you for your generous sponsorship! I'm following the Just Add Water strategy as described here: https://biotabs.nl/download/biotabs-just-add-water-strategy-english.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOorA_7mskRtAlhgdfQQsUMJiwA2NEsVeEF1yRQnMUk8wb0xdv2Z0 I really liked the fact that Mycotrex is a granulate and doesn't create as much dust as other organic stimulants. As a substrate I tried the T.A. light mix - you can see a little video of it in my pictures above. I wanted an organic light mix without the peat - I know peat is great to work with, but it's also really bad for the environment, so I'd encourage everyone to try peatless mixes! Everything is now moving into the next phase, and if the plan works, there will be no work for me after next week - apart from watering. I'm so excited!

60x60 cm tent in a 1920's peek-in-closet Oversized vent for silence High power DIY LED True SoG 12/12 from seed with 15 plants in 2L pots Watering all plants in bottom tray with 30% of total pot size (10L) WEEK 1 DAY 1 - Germinated in paper towel DAY 3 - Planted into pots + Lights ON at 125w DAY 5 - All plants have broken soil DAY 7 - Slight stretch - Light at 185w WEEK 2 Two of the Iced Out are lagging behind, others are on point - I'm trying to push light and nutes to the max. Extraction fan (AC infinity Cloudline T6) on level 2. DAY 13 - First full watering (10L) with 20 ml Canna Terra Vega DAY 14 - Circulation fan turned on (low) during lights on WEEK 3 Good growth, two Iced Out still lagging DAY 18 - Light at 225w, Extraction fan on level 3 during lights on DAY 20 - 2nd watering, 8L with 30ml Vega + Light at 250w DAY 21 - On point, mostly :) Could've pushed nutes a bit more from the go WEEK 4 DAY 24 - So far this week I'm just kicking back and watching them do their thing. The two lagging Iced Outs are trying to catch up. DAY 26 - Watering 10L with 50 ml Vega (one day too late...) + light on 300w (max) DAY 28 - 4 weeks from popping the seeds, looking good except for the two Iced Outs, one of them is trying to get with the program, the other... Well, some plants are just pricks. WEEK 5 I think this is the week we'll see them take off :) DAY 29 - Plants are starting to show sex, removed 2 Urkle Mints males, the other two are females, the rest are fems so we're down to 13 female plants total with only a single weakling DAY 29 - Watering 8L with 50ml Vega (shouldn't have been later than today!) DAY 33 - plants exploded over the last 4 days and most are stretching and starting to flower DAY 33 - Watering 10L with 60ml Vega (feeding Vega once or twice more then we switch to Flora) DAY 35 - Just cruisin' 😎 WEEK 6 Lots of stretch the past week, flowers are setting in, the laggy Iced Out was culled, 3 plants are a bit behind the others.. DAY 36 - Watering 10L with 50ml Vega DAY 39 - Watering 10L with 50ml Vega DAY 42 - Defoliation WEEK 7 DAY 44 - Watering 10L with 50ml Vega DAY 47 - Switching to flowering nutes - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores WEEK 8 Had to break the stem on the stretchy Sugar Cane to keep it low enough DAY 51 - Watering 10L with 60ml Flores DAY 54 - Watering 10L with 60ml Flores WEEK 9 Starting to chunk and frost up. The 2 Urkle Mints regs are really small and slow but flowering, the slow Iced Out just started flowering and probably won't add up to much by the time the next grow needs to start. Platinum Jelly, Frosted Apricots, and Platinum Terple are looking really good, I knew PJ would kill DAY 57 - Watering 10L with 60ml Flores DAY 61 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores DAY 61 - Defoliation WEEK 10 DAY 65 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores + 15ml PK 13/14 DAY 69 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores + 15ml PK 13/14 WEEK 11 DAY 72 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores + 20ml PK 13/14 DAY 75 - Watering 10L with 40ml Flores + 20ml PK 13/14 (Last feeding) WEEK 12 The ripe ones will come down next week DAY 79 - Watering 10L pure RO water DAY 83 - Watering 10L pure RO water WEEK 13 DAY 85 - Chop first 9 DAY 87 - Chop last 3

some apicals of Strawberry Lemonade became albinos maybe for too much light, they're however covered wit trichomes. I think thr Tropicana banana is a little bit late with the flowering compared to strawberry, I think about 2 weeks. Let's keep pushing!!👽

D22 - It is the 6th day of planting in soil and the change is amazing. She grows very fast. Topping: I pinched the plant above the 5th node to mail-line the plant in future. D24 - After the topping, I gave two days to her to recover herself. I want to have two main branches. To achieve this, I removed 4 new emerging stems and left only 2 stems in the middle. For those stems to get more light (and grow more), I removed the top two leaves, too. I watered her, sprayed and left her to rest. Watering schedule decreased to 1 in 2 days which I interpret as she will need a pot change within a week. D27 - I change the pot to 11-litre regular pot. Her growth was stalled due to topping, but I hope she will recover quickly after changing the pot. I always put Bat Guano to the soil when I change the pot. Powder Bat Guano 100% dissolve in the soil after 10 weeks and it coincides with the mid/late flowering when she is growing vigorously. It is fertilizing the plant even after the flush with. I flushed the whole pot to merge soil with the plant.
