Welcome to week 9. 7/2 today I defoiliated some damaged leaves from Gaia and Circe trying to make them look presentable. The lock out has done damage last will last until they are harvested. Last week was flushing every 2 days with 2 gallons of water for each plant in the tent. PH of the soil is down from 8 .2 to 7.2 not so alkaline. 7/3 water feed and some pics. I made 4 gallon fertilizer solutions using TPS1 fertilizer 10ml per gal. I made 1/2 strength at total 22,5ml Signal 1ml per gal. Total 2.5ml Ppm total 620 After I fed 4 liters each I followed 3 hours later to test the run off. Cream caramel Ec .99 ppm 690 ph 5.95 runoff 2 ltr in drip pan Gaia EC .88 ppm 620 ph 6.82 run off 2.5 ltr Circe Ec 1.30 ppm 910 ph 6.16 runoff .75 ltr 7/4 reduced light schedule to 15 hrs from 18 hrs. 7/5 flushed all with 2 gal each 7/6 cream Caramel is showing lockout now too😨 even with flushing. 7/7 more flushing. Last week I mentioned books that I've read that influenced my thoughts, beliefs and how I see the world. I grew up in the 1970s, ( my formative years) in Tidewater Virginia, situated on the Atlantic Ocean. Friends and I went to the beach, not for fun in the sun but to go to the A.R.E. The ARE is Edgar Cayce's, Association for Research and Enlightenment and the Heritage store which was a new age metaphysical crystal shop with crystals, stones, meditation, and yoga classes. I scoured old bookstores looking for books written on spiritualism, psychology, alternative religions, old doctor books, etc. My desire to be a healing practitioner stems from my books from Jeanne Rose in 1970s. She is the first herbal medicine woman in modern times. Florence Scovel Shinn, metaphysician, lecturer, artist- The Game of Life and others written in 1925. Edgar Cayce's trance readings. The older books are out of print but may still be found. There is a River is Edgar Cayce's life story. Hidden Life of Trees is a must read. It explains connectedness. Interestingly, my great uncle, in his writings (above) references the spiritual laws written in the books mentioned above. From various religious scriptures, the existence of personal behavioral laws, as I would describe as code of honor, as indicated are the ways to true Peace. Throughout my generations the search for spiritual truths have fallen outside the realm of traditional religious formation. From the spiritual sense, I have emerged full circle. grandparents' and parents' lifetimes, there were world wars. Everyone had a focus on world peace. Mucha's quote on week 8 emphasizes the need to build bridges, to achieve peace. Sadly, I remember watching the Vietnam War on the news when I was growing up. Well I started college with dream of becoming a doctor, but changed to business and accounting. During my college years, I worked part time jobs in a stock brokerage firm and jewelry store. From that point on I loved nice jewelry and desired the unusual gemstones that were mentioned by Edgar Cayce. Eventually I started my career in Accounting working in in hospitals, banking and finally in local and state government and higher education. In my late 30's having a midlife crisis, I felt that I really belonged in as a healer. I considered homeopathic school but my daughter was recently born. I did not want to travel to New York and be away from my family. An opportunity missed. My words of wisdom: If you have strong feelings in your gut, the little voice in your heart tells you that "this", what ever this represents to you, is your path. Follow your dream. My gut still gnaws at me. I graduated with a BS in accounting with a minor in psychology, continues my education thru MBA. My entire career was in accounting and finance. My last position was the Director of Financial Reporting and Revenue. I was happy, loved my job, I had a great staff. My plan was to work until I was 70 as I have good genes for longevity. Cancer changed that. The focus of oncologists is to check the cancer free box at 5 years. I'm working on cleaning up the aftermath of the storm. Yeah, my hormones are still wrecked. Ladies and Gentlemen, tell all the females you know, never take hormone replacement therapy. Try acupuncture, herbal teas, deep breathing.

Not a lot happened last week, just monitoring, feeding, and keeping everything in check while the girls did their thing. I did switch over to my finishing nutrients and have cut out calmag according to feeding chart I have been following. I think we are gettting pretty close to harvest though! The trichomes are starting to get a little milky. I am going to wait until about 30% amber to harvest though. I am getting super excited to finish this one and start my next run! 9/2 - The girls have been doing great and are starting to pack on the size and frost nicely! Nothing to do to them really except monitor and keep checking and making sure everything is running at an optimal level. The closer it gets I start to get a little nervous for the dry. I am prepared and have a plan, just hopefully I can get my dry set up as dialed in as I was able to get my grow tent. I will try to post more updates this week. Last week I had company from out of town, so it was difficult to get around to it. 9/5- Just continuing to monitor and check the trichomes, once about 25-30% turn amber I will be harvesting! They are starting to get pretty cloudy right now. When I did the res change yesterday, I switched to just root drip and full tilt and have started flushing, hopefully not too early, but im following my feeding chart. As always tips and recommendations always welcomed and appreciated! Thanks for checking out my diary!

Ok so this week I did a defoliation and a tigh down too the netting , I really was not planning on doing such a big defoliation but the leafs became thick and dense and there was almost no light penitration down too the lower branches of the plant , so she is opened right up now and the humidity and temperature has dropped loads and the air is moving alot better around the leaves and branches , I will not take anything more off her now , I have also added Cal mag too the nutrients for this week only , she is well into pre flower now but the stretch has not yet started so I figured it's no or never too defoliate and tigh them down , this grill really has grown right out this week and is unrecognisable from the plant just a few days ago , I am very happy with them so far and being new too all this it's all very exciting , Thanks for looking :)

Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying postition all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 Looking beautiful today and looked like she could use her first haircut.. gave her a TOP off. Roots are laying in the water everything is looking right on track.. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. She had roots nicely in the water.. this grow is on!!! Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Humidity was a little low this morning, so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that, the temp looks great, the PH looks great, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started first hair cut given and both side nodes are growing. Everything is looking good and on track.. A lot better than week one of the last grow when I had them drowning week 1. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la segunda semana de floración de estas Black muffin F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío, me quede con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros y el trasplante se realizó correctamente. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Las jodidas han estirado bastante, ya veremos que ocurre como va todo. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

I've noticed these guys drink a lot more water and I'm going to have to up each one to probably 3L of water per every 2 days. I've increased fertilizing from every 3rd watering to every 2nd on Day 50 because it looked like many of the leaves were showing signs of deficiencies. I hope I read the signs properly but the plants have not got worse and look like they are showing improvements I think. I pulled out my DSLR to get some better pictures as my cell phone just does a meh job.

Week 8: Embracing Ease and Precision with the Tent-X Controller As we enter Week 8 of our cultivation journey with Panty Punch Auto, the spotlight shines brightly on the remarkable performance of the Tent-X controller. With its intuitive navigation and user-friendly interface, the Tent-X has revolutionized our grow environment management, surpassing even the capabilities of its predecessor, the Hydro-X. This week's report delves into the seamless integration of the Tent-X controller, alongside close inspections of our thriving botanical beauty as she approaches the final stages of her growth cycle. The Tent-X controller has truly been a game-changer in our cultivation arsenal, offering unparalleled ease and convenience in environmental control. With its simple yet sophisticated design, navigating through the various settings and parameters has never been easier. From adjusting temperature and humidity levels to fine-tuning lighting schedules and CO2 concentrations, the Tent-X empowers us to create the optimal conditions for Panty Punch Auto's continued success with just a few clicks. Amidst the advanced technology at our fingertips, our diligent attention to detail remains a cornerstone of our cultivation philosophy. Close inspections of Panty Punch Auto reveal a plant that must surely think we're aliens, constantly hovering and examining her every leaf and bud. Yet, this meticulous approach is essential as she enters the final stretch of her growth cycle. Trichomes are gradually changing colors, signaling the onset of maturity, but we remain vigilant, ensuring she reaches her full potential before harvest. Panty Punch Auto stands as a true beauty, her branches adorned with glistening trichomes that resemble a blanket of snow. As we monitor her progress, the TM+ Pro app serves as our faithful companion, storing and organizing invaluable data for our analysis. From nutrient levels to environmental conditions, the app provides a comprehensive snapshot of our grow environment, allowing us to make informed decisions with ease. With the end of the growth cycle drawing near, we've made the decision to cease all feedings, providing Panty Punch Auto with only water supplemented with enzymes. This strategic approach not only encourages a smooth transition to the final stages of flowering but also sets the stage for the reuse of our soil. Enzymes play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter within the soil, promoting nutrient availability and overall soil health. By reusing the soil, we minimize waste and cultivate sustainability in our growing practices. In conclusion, Week 8 marks a pivotal moment in our cultivation journey, where the synergy of innovation and diligence propels us toward a successful harvest. As we express our gratitude to those who have supported us along the way, we extend a heartfelt thank you to TrolMaster for their groundbreaking technology, to Aptus Holland for their exceptional nutrients, to Grow Diaries for fostering a vibrant community of growers, and to all fellow cultivators for their unwavering encouragement and inspiration. As we anticipate the culmination of our efforts, let us continue to nurture Panty Punch Auto with care and dedication, celebrating the beauty of growth and the promise of a bountiful harvest. Stay tuned for more updates as we witness the final stages of Panty Punch Auto's journey and prepare for the rewards that await us at harvest. Together, we'll continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in cultivation, one harvest at a time. #PantyPunchAutoAdventure #RootsAndFruits #TrolMasterControl #GrowDiariesCommunity #CultivationExcellence Genetics - Panty Punch Auto - https://seedstockers.com/ Plant nutrition - Aptus Holland - https://aptus-holland.com LED Photons - Lumatek - https://lumatek-lighting.com Controls - Trol Master - https://www.trolmaster.eu/ Watering - myself Love and attention - Me, myself and i As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life, With true love comes happiness.

The ladies are stacking hard and smelling insane. The nicest pheno has some amazing bud structure with big icy buds and perfect node spacing. Smells like fresh zoap, sweet, fruity, gassy and parfume/soap-like. Incredible. She is by far the biggest plant, which is nice as she looks like the most productive one. My second favorite is looking beautiful. The structure on her is not so great and looks like a small producer. Very nice fruity/candy terps though, and incredibly icy. The stretchy tall pheno is looking great too. She smells more like a mix of #1 & #2, very icy as well. She stretched a lot so the top buds are very close to the light, and very foxtaily. The buds at 40-70 cm distance are looking more compact and dense. The least favo pheno looks very weird and small, bud the buds are pretty icy and smell very sweet.
