Good week, plants seem to be doing well. No issues except for plenty of gnats in the tent. I removed some lower branches that were touching the soil after training. Gave approximately 200ml water/nutrients. There was no sign they needed more than that and their bags are still relatively heavy. I expected from next week that watering will need to ramp up but I'll see.

Day 31 - 38 (Day 32) I’m going to lower the humidity in the room to 55-60. Still no bananas but I’m still quite worried about #3 fully popping and ruining my whole crop. Since there is a good chance it’s going to herm, I’m going to give it with a small feeding today and watch it like a hawk this week. I think the boost actually made a decent difference in #5 from last week. I’m seeing slightly fatter main colas but that could just be from less topping/smaller plant or less nitrogen. I’ve decided to push my luck and give a boost to each plant. These things just aren’t filling out like they should. They look like they are on day 23 not 33. I’m going to top dress 3 tablespoons of 1-4-2 Destiny launch and later tonight I’m going to water in a low strength feeding of 0-0-15 kelp extract. I’m going to give a final heaping tablespoon of nature’s pride bloom to #5 so it can stretch to the end. I’m also going to lower the lights by a few inches. The tallest cola is now about 13 inches away and the rest of the canopy is at about 18–24. If I see signs of light stress I’ll raise it back up but I’m sure it could use the extra light on the lowers. (Day 33) I’ve been reading that bigger plants just take longer to mature and that’s probably why my plant hasn’t fully filled out or is about a week behind. I still could have done a better job defoliating some of the smaller larf branches on the bottom which just robs the good branches of energy. The more I think about it, the more I think I did a very poor job of defoliating the middle canopy. I’m still seeing lots of larf and small buds on the inside not getting much light. I’m still really worried about herms after finding that branch so I don’t want to stress them anymore. Removing suckers now is pointless. I missed my window of opportunity and now I have to deal with it. I’m going to slide an old DVD player underneath #6 to bring it up to canopy level. It’s lower buds are definitely not getting enough light. (Day 34) Ever since lowering the light, the canopy has gotten a few degrees warmer. I’ve noticed the buds don’t feel as sticky on top compared to the lower tucked branches that feel almost wet with resin. Outdoor weed grown in my climate will never reach the temperature where it degrades resin luckily. (Day 36) The buds are definitely swelling but not to the degree I want. Call me picky but I prefer my nugs as chunky as possible. I’m seeing lots of pistils but not much nug matter. Ive heard too many pistils can be caused by the overuse of alfalfa, kelp and seaweed extracts because of the natural PGR’s in them. I’m definitely going to reduce the amount of that stuff I use next round. I hope I’m just wrong and this tent is going to really fatten up this week but I have my doubts. (Day 37) A purple fade is starting on the underside of every plant except the bush who still is super dark green still. Last watering I got a nice amount of runoff so I’m just going to leave her until the end. I’m seeing a bit of yellowing on #5. I’m going to give it one final full strength feeding plus some rock dust and oyster shell tomorrow and that’s a wrap for nutrients. I might as well hit everything else with a final low strength 0-0-15 too. (Day 38) I’m amazed at how much this stuff smells compared to my last round. It smells very earthy and floral with a hint of pine. Definitely not that gassy smelling pine but more of a sweet pine.

7/18 I'll make this week a six day week to get back on track since i didn't last week. Rhis has been INCREDIBLY challenging for me to be away from my plants for this long. It will be six days. I'm leaving early to come home and water. We are supposed to get thunderstorms. Not sure if we did but it's only 11am. All pics so far are ones sent to me this morning. It rained a little bit yesterday. I have a lot to do in the garden. I need to assess Amy damage. Probably water (depending on weather), defoliate and hunt pillars. I may decide to spray and I may not. Depends what I see. Plants are getting big though. I'll need to add the second set of supports. I'm hoping I come back and find inch long buds like I did last time with those mendo breath that flowered super early two years ago. I just want to see my girls and take a big deep breath of their smelly goodness. I need to check for deficiencies as well as i usually started nutes by now. Tomorrow morning I'll do a video when I get back. UPDATE: AROUND 7 O'CLOCK MY INTUITION OR AS I CALL IT "MY SPIDY SENSE" STARTED TINGLING. IT HAD BEEN EARLIER BIT I IGNORED IT. I PLANNED FOR TWO THUNDERSTORMS WE GOT HERE AND WERE SUPPISED TO GET AT MY GROW BIT DIDN'T GET. I FIGURED THE GIRLS WOULD BE OKAY BUT I COULD FEEL THEIR PAIN. I COULDNT REALLY TELL THROUGH THE CAMERA IF IF THEY WERE DROOPING BAD SO I HAD DAD GO LOOK. HE DIDNT RESPOND WHICH PISSED ME OFF. I TOLD HIM THIS MORNING TO KEEP A VERY CLOSE EYE ON THEM AND IF NEEDED TO WATER THEM. NOT WANTING TO ASK TO MUCH OR I WOULDVE JUST SAID DO IT. HE WATERED EACH PLANT A HALF GALLON AND SPLIT A GALLON WITH THE 10 GAL AND THE 5 AND 50 GALLON SEEDLING CONTAINERS. I'M GLAD I CAUGHT THIS. I NEED TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF WATER. AT LEAST I HOPFULLY WONT COME HOME TO DROOPING PLANTS. THAT WOULD BE A KICK IN THE NUTS. I'M NOT GOING ON VACATION DURING GROWING SEASON AGAIN. I CANT WAIT TO SEE MY GARDEN. 7/19 Came home to the plants looking okay but very light and needing water. All expected storms missed us so what I planned for water wasn't enough. Plus they are much larger. DAD WATERED ALL CLONES WITH A HALF GALLON OF WATER AND THEN I GOT BACK AROUND 10ish AND GAVE THE PLANTS ANOTHER FULL HALF GALLON. THE GMOs ARE DEFINATELY WATER HOGS. I've noticed some interior leaves fading so I'll start nutes soon. Saw some pillar damage (and the pillar in a picture dad sent) and went hunting. I caught 11 caterpillars!!! Three different species. A big green one that rolled into a ball. Yellow and green normal moth larvae and an inch worm the color of an earth worm! I found no eggs though. I took a video, but I'll have to wait to upload it. Luckily, my intuition is on point, and I have family that will help me. All it takes is a day of this heat advisory over 100f weather and the wind to dry my bags right out! I don't want to over water, but 10% is 2 gallons in the 20s. I'm upping the water to a gallon a plant. The event horizons seem to be a little further in flower and don't seem to be using AS much water. I'll play it by ear. I was going to spray bt but having caught double digit pillars I think I'll hold off and do what I'm doing. I can always spray later if needed. 7/20 Checked my plants late and noticed they were light and starting to droop. I had one gallon mixed up so I gave to what was worse. They seemed like they would be OK until after my wife's doctor's appointment. I got back and EVERYTHING but one event horizon were starting to droop and light as a feather. This was after I gave them half a gallon yesterday afternoon and dad gave them a half gallon the late night before. The plants are just too big and with this heat they need more water. I mixed 8 more gallons amd gave each plant a full gallon. Used another gallon earlier in the morning so a total of 9 gallons was used on the garden today. I defoliated what I could. I noticed a hole in my cage as well. A lathe broke and it left a small hole for an animal to crawl through. I found a small lathe and got the drill and went around and repaired the cage. I have a lot more to do. Some serious defoliation. I need to start nutes and I need to add the second supports which is a trellis. That way I can LST. The cages kinda hold everything close together but once the supports are added things while be spread out much better. Much more room this year. I need to switch the plant in the 10 with the flowering event horizon to better utilize space. Dad says these are the best looking plants I've grown. I don't know if I agree but the are really thick. Could just be the strain. I'm certainly not complaining. Things look good. If I can hunt pests myself I'd rather do that than spray chemicals. Got a few more pillars and jpn beetles. Took a video but it won't upload until tomorrow. 7/21 It was definately a good idea to up the watering amounts. If not they'd probably be dead. They are growing at a significant rate. Some seem to be in early flower. I have damage from pillars but considering how many I've caught from hunting im still on the fence about spraying. I probably still should. I went through abd manually removed as many as possible. When I went over this morning I checked the weight of every plant. Every plant was noticeable lighter than after I had watered them yesterday. That kinda suprised me. My water hogs were actually significantly lighter. We haven't been getting rain either. I'm going to have to water every day. I think a gallon a plant should be enough. 10% is 2 gallons though. I'd rather understand water than over water but I'd like to get it so I'm not watering every day. Or every other day which I'm sure is what will happen. I'm planning on having to water tomorrow. I'm still going to mull over whether I should apply the BT tonight or not. I probably should. They aren't a problem now but further in flowering they wreck havoc on flowers. Eating and shitting and spreading mold every where they go. There's no way I got all of them. I keep saying it but never do it but I should get netting. That would basically solve this problem. Oh, didn't get a chance to upload the video I made. I'll do it tomm. UPDATE: THAT "SPIDEY SENSE" STARTED TINGLING AGAIN SO I DROVE TO INSPECT MY PLANTS. ITS BEEN SUNNY AND HIGH 80S/90. ALMOST ALL PLANTS WERE DROOPING. SOME WERENT FEATHER LIGHT BUT THEY WERE LIGHT AND DROOPING. THE WIND WAS WHIPPING AND WHEN IT DOES THAT IT DRIES THOSE BAGS OUT QUICK. INTERESTING ENOUGH THE EVENT HORIZON THATS IN THECMIDDLE OF THE CAGE SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES ABDCPROTECTED FROM THE WIND STILL HAS WEIGHT. IT LOOKED A LITTLE DROOPY BUT DOESNT GETCTHE WIND THE OTHERS DUE. IM WONDERING IF I COULD BE OVER WATERING THAT ONE PLANT WITH THE FREQUENCY OF WATERING. THE SOIL WAS DUSTY AND DRY BUT WHEN I STUCK MY FINGER IN SOME DIRT STUCK TO IT SO I DIDNT WATER THAT ONE PLANT. I MIXED UP EIGHT GALLONS OF WATER AND GAVECEVERYTHING A GALLON. I GAVE A HALF GALLON TO THE PLABT IN THE 10 AND BRIEFLY HIT THE CONTAINER PLANTS. THE REMAINING HALF GALLON WAS ADDED TO THE PLANTSCTHAT ARE USING THE MOST WATER. GMOS WERE USING MORE THAN ANYTHING BUT THAT SHERB PIE AND TOASTED TOFFY SEEM TO HAVE CAUGHT UP. LOOKED FIR PILLARS BUT COULDNT FIND ANY. ILL UPDATE TOMORROW. IM WONDERING IF I SHOULD GO FOR A GALLON AND A HALF EVERY TWO DAYS OR A GALLON A DAY DURING THIS HOT WEATHER. LUCKILY I CAN KEEP AN EYE OUT AND FIGURE IT OUT. I HAVEXA COUPLE PLANTS THAT ARE TRANSITIONING TO FLOWER. EXCITING TIMES! OH AND AFTER WATERING THE GIRLS PICKED THEMSELVES RIGHT BACK UP. I KNOW ITS NOT IDEAL BUT ITS BETTER TO UNDER WATER THAN OVER WATER. I STILL HAVE NIGHTMARES ABOUT FUSARIUM. 7/22 Much cooler day. It's 74 at 9:40 bit it was 60 earlier this morning. With the cooler weather I'm hoping I won't have to water as often. I think I hadn't been giving them enough water at a time for the conditions. I'm not going to water again until all bags are super light. That's what I had been doing but I don't want my plants getting to the drooping phase. Luckily I check on them multiple times a day and I've got the cams. I caught approx half a dozen inch worms this morning. I'm wondering if I should still spray. If I'm catching this many there has to be more. I'm not removing the damaged leaves if they aren't bad so it's hard to tell if it's new damage. It was extremely windy yesterday. I assume that is what helped dry the bags put so much. I already doubled the water intake so I don't want to do anything else until I see how this turns out. I figure I'll have to water tomorrow. We are getting some rain in the next few days but not much. 7/23 This will be the last entry for this week so I can get back on track. If you've been following along you'd see that I had pretty much doubled my watering amount due to it not lasting until next watering. I take the weather reports I to account. They have really been passing me off lately. On vacation we were supposed to get two large storms at my grow. We got ZERO rain amd it just followed me to my vacation (where the weather WAS supposed to be sunny) and poured some of the heaviest shert rain I've seen. Now after I over watered my plants (just a litttle) I found out the weather changed. Today, tomorrow and Wednesday we were supposed to get TINY amounts of rain. It totaled like .35in for the 3 days. I'm thinking cool. Instead it get changed last minute to supposably get an inch of rain JUST today. It was sheet rain earlier but it has totally stopped raining. The GMOs aren't really over-watered (too bad at least) and look normal. Nothing looks BAD. I can just tell by the weight that some of these girls are overwatered. That's OK though. If we get any wind (which we should) it will dry those bags out quick. With the gmos and that sherb pie it would be very hard to overwatercto the point where it hurts the plant. I just need to realize the GMO'S just use more water. They are asparagusing right up. Event horizon is in early flower. Everytime I go to my grow I'm able to kill multiple pests. I got at least 5 moth larvae, a couple moths, couple leafhoppers and I missed this giant grasshopper that had been going to town chomping leaves. I think it's time to start nutes. I also think I'm going to spray either BT or captain Jack's after this rain. I don't need pillars come flower. Since I can SEE multiple pests it might be best to use something broader like spinosad but we will see how it goes. I also need to switch a couple plants for better room, defoliate and add the trellis and second set of supports. The first support kinda keeps the branches together so I need to lst and tie down branches to open up the plant.

08/08/18 - Day 22 looking good especially after the minor bump in the road, the wire I bought for the LST is doing it’s job for the time being but I will be buying some proper stuff on the weekend. ✌️🏻 10/08/18 - did more LST last night and their responding well except one, I did some minor defoliation of some fan leaves hogging the 💡 11/08/18 - plant #3 is finally getting into feel of the LST and is looking a lot happier, but girl #1 & #2 are just going with the flow and killing it, my first time doing LST like this and I wish I started doing it two harvest ago 😂👌🏻 13/08/18 - watered each plant with 2 litres each 💧plant number #3 has a slight kink in it from the LST it has been a pain for it the main stem has hardly any flexibility but the other two are 👍🏻

Day 15 - The start of week 3 and the girls are really taking off, from 1-2 Inches of vertical growth daily. Consuming a good amount of water, almost leaving the bucket empty. lol. Lightly defoliating to keep the bud sites exposed to light, as they get bushy very fast and recovery is only taking a day for them to bounce back. Pretty happy with how things are going right now. Slightly increased the EC by .2 but not enough to burn them.. which is the goal. Grateful for my trolmaster unit as it has made keeping tracking of my parameters much easier and effortless. Day 16- Topping up the res with RO water every two days. Otherwise I'm sure it would be empty! Pistils are showing and the bud sites are very visible. Seeing one pheno with slightly more sativa dominant traits. Luckily I took clones so I can run the best pheno next time around, although all these plants are special. Still going through the flower stretch. Excited for what is to come. Stay tuned for the results. Day 18 - As you can see, the difference is night and day over a period of 2 days they have had an explosion of growth. They were heavily defoliated on day 17 and bounced back within a day. Happy plants preying. Bud sites are forming everywhere now. Not much to report. Until the end of week 3 in a few days. Bring on week 4. Follow my Instagram and YouTube (link in bio)

Things have been coming together very nicely, packing on very nice frost, buds have been foxtailing not too much but just enough, in result I lost some density to the buds which I don't particularly mind (my preference). The Terps are really nice and has simplified compared to last week when they were ever-changing. They know boast a black Cherry Punch forward Superboof flavor. Notes of ripe/rotten dank black cherries with that classic Superboof Orange rind/dankiness. The leaf rub gives a more sweeter black cherry wine almost smell with hints of bubblegum. Very nice change from the usual candies you see constantly nowadays. This is a dank one, every morning I wake up to the dank dank aromas of this plant filling the house. Quite a beautiful thing if I may say. All in all, one of my most favorite grows I've done too date! She's getting close to harvest if day another 2-3 weeks at most! Gonna check on trichomes soon but she's absolutely covered in trichs! I'll try and get better pictures!

8/12/21- Week 19 is here and the 2nd day of flushing. I called it yesterday. Buds are looking good but the plant herself isn't. She's had her run and now it's time to prep for harvest. Really looking forward to this. I'll flush for 3-4 day, but most likely the 3. Then the happy sad part, chop chop.

Week 3 of Flowering is here Very excited to start the next week And see the buds Sites expand 👀 Day 15 Critical For weeks I have bin watering when come home and turn lights on . But because I had issues with humidity . I started giving them water in morning when go to work and shut the light off. And i think that worked well . They are looking good and growing nice there some higher buds so it not a even feeld but this my first grow ever . So i am already happy how it is going 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Day 16 Critical FRUIT FLIES !!!! i saw that dam bastards last night so ordered me some fly repellent sticky what ever you call those from Amazon hope they catch them all . Plants are doing fine in my 👀 . I am not giving them water now but in the morning when the lights go out and i go to work . That's all folks Day 17 Critical Did nothing to them only gave them the required nutrients in the morning. Day 18 Cookies Gelato Left them alone today having some personal issues off my own . That makes difficult to work on the plants hopefully tomorrow will be better Day 19 Critical I measured plants today and there about 90 to 95 cm from soil to top. Slitlly getting worried again about hight they are. I hope the grow spurt is over and bud formation will be intensifying . I think if i didn't use any technieks that i would be sol right now . Hope for the best Day 20 Critical Did something stupid today i left the light on for 18 hours and was afraid i fryed them . But luckily nothing dramatic happened . Not hopefully i didn't do much stress on them . I gave all the plants 1L of water pH 6.5 . And start letting them dry out some . Day 21 Critical Last day of week 3 Flowering This week went fast had couple mistake of my own . But luckily my reliable @MarsHydro TS-1000 save me from a catastrophe . I absolutely love the quality that this lamp brings and i am Glad this model has a dimmer . With the baby's is going well nothing going on but goodness
