Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 17 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17553.9, Another incredible week in the garden! First week of flower and already my best grow cycle yet! Wow these girls can stretch! Did not expect the canopy to double in size! By the end of the week, had to super-crop the top growth. Buds are also starting to swell up and everything looks really healthy. Ca-Caw! Let’s go ladies! Decided to reset the veg garden. All mother plants were cycled out and pots were reset and re-amended. Transplanted the Heady OG and TKO clones which are looking healthy and vegging along beautifully! Also transplanted the spare Heady OG clones. Still need to transplant the original mother clones into solo cups. Still have lots to do! Onwards to next week Ensign!

The 14in canopy space between the two nets is completely full!! Wow! --- Also upward growth has slowed down, but top growth is still growing through the top scrog netting. A few tops may even need super-cropping if they get too close to the grow light. --- First week of flower is looking better than ever! High-grade! Let’s go! --- Need to start the under-canopy pre-flower defoliation soon, but will wait a few more days for the stretch to completely stop. - [+00:22]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 53% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 49% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 25% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 51% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 43% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 46% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 44% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 42% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [+00:24]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Wow even the veg garden is looking great and healthy! --- All mother plants are still recovering, but wow growth looks great! Since healthy is looking really good, may not need to do a full mother plant cycle out.

Marked the names on each tube with painter’s tape and a marker. --- Okay! --- Filled a clear solo cup with 1.5 cup of RO water. - [19:45]: Placed the rig which fit snug and just above the water line. Great! --- Placed the mother cuttings into to the cup making sure to group the phenos appropriately. - [19:55]: Placed the cup into the tent and onto the floor rack. --- Added a third drip tray and placed the cutting in the middle. --- The PVC rig should make water changes a bit easier. I hope. --- Anyways! - [19:57]: Checked on the propagation dome. --- Ahh yea! The cuttings are all looking beautiful! --- Did not mist the top growth and only refreshed the air for a few minutes. --- For this rooting cycle, going to leave the vents fully closed for longer. - [20:02]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Time to start the mother cycling process. --- After the culling, will also top dress each pot. - [16:59]: Took the floor rack, floor fan, clones, and cutting out of the tent. --- Will transplant both Heady OG and TKO clones before watering. - [16:01]: Using a basic hacksaw, --- Cut the base of each mother and mulched the entire plant. - [17:21]: Done! --- Mulched all mother plants into a paper bag. - [17:34]: Time to top dress the first pot! --- Starting with the front right pot, --- Disconnected the auto watering system. --- Took the pot out of the tent and placed it on the floor. - [17:59]: Removed the rootball. --- Temporarily removed the soil sensor and swapped the AA battery with a new one. --- Also temporarily removed the straw mulch. --- Tilled and removed the larger roots as well. These will be added back later as part of the mulch. --- Continued until the top 5-6 inches of top soil was loose and soft. --- The soil moisture felt great and smelled earthy with no foul odors. --- Also glad to find worms in all pots! - [18:03]: Time for the soil amendments! --- Top dressed: ------ 1/4 cup of Kashi Blend ------ 1/2 cup of Craft Blend ------ 2 cups of BuildASoil Worm Castings --- Sprinkled each amendment evenly. --- Using my fingers, gently tilled the amendments into the top few inches of soil. --- Also dug and loosened the center area. Made sure the area was deep enough for a solo cup and had some of the top dressing mixed in. --- Dug a hole and placed a solo cup into the center of the pot. --- Made sure the sides of the cup were tucked in and each cup has drainage holes. - [18:24]: Placed the larger roots as mulch. Spread the roots evenly. --- Placed the original straw mulch on top. - [18:33]: Placed the Ecowitt soil sensor back into the pot. --- Also re-connected the drip-ring rig. --- Set the pot aside for later. - [19:36]: Repeated this process for each pot. --- Alright all pots have been reset! --- Time for a bit of cleanup! - [19:53]: Cleaned the tent floor. --- First sweeped and removed the larger leaf debris. --- Then sprayed the floor with distilled water and let it soak for a bit before wiping with paper towels. - [22:48]: Placed all pots into the tent and connected the drip-rings to the auto-watering system. --- Also placed the floor fan back. --- Ca-Caw! Time to transplant both Heady OG (BX1 #1) and TKO into the (7-gallon) pots! --- Let's go! - [22:59]: Gently removed the left two solo cups from the fabric pots leaving perfect holes. ------ Sprinkled 1/4tsp of Great White into each hole, --- Dusted the sides of the hole. --- Also sprinkled a bit around the top soil. --- Great! Time to transplant! --- Going to start with TKO since she is going to be in the back left quadrant. --- It’s been a day since her last watering. --- To loosen the rootball from the cup, I gently squeezed the sides before pressing the bottom upwards. --- Vulcan-gripped the base of the plant and flipped her upside down. - [23:09]: TKO easily dropped straight out of her cup! --- Nice! Roots look healthy and white! --- Did not break up the rootball. - [23:15]: Gently placed her into the pre-inoculated hole (back left quadrant). --- Pressed and evened out the top soil. - [23:22]: Repeated this process for Heady OG (front left quadrant). --- Looking great my ladies! --- Okay! Time to water the new mothers and re-amended pots! --- Since most of the time these girls will be receiving straight RO water, going to water in a diversity of microbes to start off the initial breakdown process. - [23:57]: Filled a pitcher with 8 cups of RO water, ------ Added 1/16tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract ------ Added 1/16tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus ------ Added 1/8tsp of Recharge ------ Added 1/4tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1/4tsp of Horticultural Coconut ------ Added 1/2tsp of Mycrobe Complete ------ Added 1/2tsp of WDG3000 Extra Strength BTI - [+00:04]: Mixed the solution before pouring 2 cups straight into a pump sprayer. --- Misted the solution onto the straw mulch of the back left pot. --- Tried to avoid spraying the solo cups. --- Repeated this process for each of the pots in the veg tent. --- Misted the straw mulch evenly. - [+00:22]: Done with the tent reset! --- All pots are fully re-amended and clones have been transplanted! --- The tent is ready for another veg cycle! - [+00:25]: Checked on the propagation dome. --- Growth is looking great! --- Heady OG cuttings have probably both rooted, but will leave them in the tray for a bit longer. The Heady OG (BX1 #1) mother is clearly going to survive and the genetics has been preserved. So going to wait to transplant the extra cuttings into solo cups at the same time. --- Did not mist the top growth. --- Opened the right side vent. Now only one vent is open. - [+00:27]: Oops! The extra mother plant cuttings still need to be placed into the tent. --- Earlier in the day, refreshed the RO water. --- Also while culling the mothers, took a few more cuttings from each to root in the cup. - [+00:35]: Instead of using the floor rack, decided to place the cup of cuttings on top of the propagation dome. --- Placed the cup on top of an upside-down drip tray. Since these cuttings don’t need a lot of PPFD, hoping the in-direct bounce lighting will be enough. - [+00:42]: Quickly checked on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! Woah these ladies are still stretching! --- To my surprise, Heady OG has stretched taller than TKO and may need to be super cropped soon. --- This grow cycle is starting to get pretty wild!

Let’s go Ensign! - [20:24]: Took 2 old solo cups (bottom corners cut for drainage) and labeled each cup (Heady OG BX1). --- Partially filled each with some fresh (dry) BuildASoil 3.0 potting soil. --- Made sure that the soil was well packed. --- Misted the dry soil with a bit of RO water (~3 sprays each). - [20:36]: Inoculated each cup with Great White mycorrhizae along with a bit of Beauveria Bassiana. ------ Sprinkled 1/64tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus ------ Sprinkled 1/16tsp of Great White --- Time to plant! --- Could have transplanted earlier, but wanted to wait for the new cuttings to root, but oh well. - [20:41]: Root check! --- Wow both Heady OG and TKO’s roots looked white and healthy! - [20:43]: Placed each clone into the solo cups. --- Made sure each cup had enough room for more soil. - [20:47]: Inoculated each Coco Coin with Great White mycorrhizae. ------ Sprinkled about an 1/16tsp of Great White onto each Coco Coin. --- Made sure to get the top and sides evenly. - [20:58]: Gently filled each solo cup with more soil. --- Completely covered the top of each Coco Coin and made sure to tuck the sides fairly snug with soil. --- Evened out the top soil. Each Coco Coin is about 1/4-1/2 inch below the top soil. - [20:59]: Added some BuildASoil Organic Straw Mulch to the top. --- Using the small straw bits at the bottom of the bag is great for solo cups. --- Time to water! - [21:15]: Filled a measuring cup with 2 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] ------ Added 1/64tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus ------ Added 1/16tsp of Horticultural Coconut ------ Added 1/16tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1/8tsp of Mycrobe Complete --- Mixed and poured the solution straight into a spray bottle. - []: Took the dry soil weight of each pheno before watering, --- To make waterings easier, marked each clone with A and B. ------ Heady OG BX1 A weighed 237.7g ------ Heady OG BX1 B weighed 244.4g --- Marked the starting weight on the back of each cup. --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted the straw mulch of each cup. --- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible. --- Misted 5-10 sprays. Let it sit for a minute, then misted again. --- Repeated this process until each cup weighed at least 300g --- There was no runoff. - [21:40]: Took the weight of each pheno after watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 A weighed 300.3g ------ Heady OG BX1 B weighed 305.6g --- Also marked the wet weight on each cup. --- Placed each cup on top of the fabric pots on the right side of the tent (under drip trays). --- Done! - [21:43]: Back to the propagation dome. --- Misted the top growth with RO water. Also misted the lid. --- Then closed all air vents. --- Placed the spare mother cuttings back on top of the propagation dome (also refreshed the RO water). --- The clones on the pots seem sort of stressed. - [21:55]: Covered each clone with a clear solo cup. --- Misted each cup with distilled water (~2 sprays). --- Secured each cup with a bit of painters tape. - [22:19]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Another grow week done! --- Need to transplant more rooted mother cuttings next week into solo cups. --- Also need to clean-up the under canopy in the main tent. --- Onwards to next week Ensign! [END OF WEEK 17]

D56/F8 - 11.14 - The LA Sunset and Passion Berry in the 5x4 have gone absolutely beast mode. I'm loving it. Nothing new to report except the obviously responded well to defoliation, got them some peony rings and a blumat system, which is really impressing me so far!! D59/F11 - 11.17 - the smaller LA Sunset in the 3 gallon is stretching very noticeably but maintaining and nice internode distance 👌 D60/F12 - 11.18 - These plants are vigorous as heck. The Passion Berry is absolutely dominating the stretch <3

It’s the time....Luke is now ready to finish his training. He changed location to much bigger and taller tent for his flowering period. Everything under MarsHydro TS3000 light 💡 Before switching to 12/12 got quick defoliation and transplanted to final 30l pot 🤘 Tomorrow getting his trellis net # Keep it locked and stay tuned! 😎🤘 Couldn’t resist and managed to put trellis in place before sleep 😎 🚨 —-> second plant (one on left side) is LemonWalker OG as well from DNA Genetics started in same time as Skywalker. There was some issues with it on early veg stages and to be honest I was almost sure she will not make it.....surprise, surprise as you can see recovered to the point where I decided to switch her to flower and see what she will bring 😉 Day6 update Girls going both strong 💪 We can see first flowers starting to shape. Second and probably last defoliation today to push all the power into forming tops 🤘 Stay tuned!

April 25, 2020/Day 15: I applied LST/tipped her over today and defoliated one leaf. April 25/Day 16: EEEEEeeee I watered with the wrong container, giving her tap water, fresh out of the tap. Chlorinated and all. :D I chased it with 2 litres of proper 6.5 PH. April 27/Day 17: Defoliated 2 leaves and reapplied LST. She is growing like ground coverage, especially after LST. :D I think it's safe to plant a third seed in my small tent. She looks small. Maybe she will surprise me and start taking off in growth. :) This is the smallest plant I've seen at Day 17. May 1 @1pm/Day 21: Topped her at her highest point May 1 @ 11pm/EOD 21: Defoliated 4 more leaves and applied LST to all of the tops

Bulking quite well, she has a very strong haze smell as already mentioned she is handling everything like a champ, could not wished for a better plant :) From now on I will only give her PH 6.3 water without any additives. I believe its about 2 weeks until chop chop :)

Going for another run at drunken bitch slap. Last attempt HPLVD destroyed everything. So all new equipment from new buckets to new light. Which is the HortibloomLED Solux 350. I have it on at 50 percent. Virus is gone as far as I can tell after resetting everything. Plus extra sterilization I have been doing. So she germinated, and sprout well. Everything is looking pretty good at the moment. Thank you Aeque Genetics, and Hortibloom. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Week 7 Bloom: This girl is still hungry. I’m still feeding twice a week. I think my grow room is too hot for the plant. In the evenings I’m opening the tent up and letting fresh air get inside. May need to consider finding a way to keep it cool in there for her. The silver is really here now on this girl, So many Trichomes 😍. The buds on this thing are so big, and I still have about a month of growing left on her. I think I’m going to have some monster buds at harvest.

Big healthy plant for the most part, but the flowering just won’t kick in! This is the week that says she’s running behind or that she’s going to be on a cocaine diet till the end? Need some bulk, it’s week 8 already. I don’t like my girls fast anyways, so I’ll be a patient gent. Day 51: Early AM: It seems that the flowers are starting to fatten up at a familiar rate now. Stretch is definitely over to boot. Feels like a week or so behind my other Auto grows, but I am gathering from the peeps on GD that grow times can be all over the place with Autos; even with seeds front the same plant. I won't be a Debbie-downer, but I cant help but think what this thing would have done in a bigger space. I left her alone a couple days ago as her stretch slowed noticeably. A pluck here and there moving forward, but that's about it for the sadistic stuff. Day 51: Late Afternoon: She's about to take off in the flower it feels. 6 hours passed, and I was like "oh, hello there!" If nothing goes too crazy, I'm hoping she'll be a good one regardless of her 3.8 sf living quarters. I never did move the top shelf, so the light is less than 8 inches from the canopy. I'll keep an eye on the "crispy effect" out of complete laziness and fear of dropping the light on the plant! Tallest branches are around the perimeter and still hitting their DLI. The center/down the plant is getting blasted by the light, so I suspect about 6 or so runners to hit the canopy and hang out with the FIM family in the next week or so? Day 51: Evening: Bigger bucket = bigger plant in hydro? One heck of a root mass going on in her trough. I tried pushing the roots to the back of the bucket so I could ph without getting roots directly. Nope! That bucket is filled with roots, and its an 8 gallon bucket. I would have never thought an auto would have enough time to grow into an 8 gallon bucket. I was banking on some extra nutrient volume, so I could go out of town for 4-5 days. Hard to say on bucket size though, I have grown 10 foot tomato monsters in 3 gallon Ebb/Flow pots so maybe she would have grown the same in a 5 gallon bucket? I don't think that much root volume could grown in an 5 gallon bucket, so bigger bucket = bigger plant here? Things that make you go "hmmm..." Day 53: A lot of undesirable undergrowth that blew up during stretch. Like a ton of it, but I’m done messing with her. Took out the top shelf and reconfigured exhaust. What a pain. I didn’t drop the light but the IP cam took a nose dive on a branch. Now the light is about 12-14” from canary instead of 6-8'. She started to get some light burn so I had to do the deed. Wider IP camera view with added distance so that's a plus! Plant is very happy at 550-575ppm. 600ppm seems to be the number without burning plants? Humidity, temp, and ppm AND light distance in check. Raising the light opened the focal point of this light quite a bit; especially in the center where the PPFD was over 2500 at the center and light less than 8 inches from the canopy. Feeling good. All is in check with some room to grow. She will gain another 2" in height I presume through flower. Day 54: The jury is out of this light. I hits my dli from veg to harvest with it's fixed position design, but wondering if 50watts more would have been the number. I'm going to keep the light in there to keep the data flow congruent to its original design. I hit my DLI right now from the top of the canopy to about 10-12" down the plant. Lighter specs from my last grow, but its hard to tell what is getting what once you leave top of the canopy. Hopefully it will suffice! I moved the light a few inches closer as my DLI was getting light in some of the corners/perimeter. She right 10-11" and is about as good as she is going to get given150watts. I am realizing that 200 watt is probably the optimized wattage here if some canopy penetration is desired, but light these dimensions are not plentiful[. 250 watt and that would be max with managing heat and exhaust sound levels. 250 watt would accommodate a fix state design no problem. I hate to change the light variable but I only have the luxury of one-at-a-time grows, so everything counts on some levels. Been using the PAR meter on and off throughout the day. Penetration needs to be about 25% stronger. Its a perfect light for your average auto grow, but if these results repeat themselves a 250 watt is probably in order. I am making the executive decision to install a 250 watt bar light. I found one with a small footprint at 240watts. Hard find, specs are more than adequate for 4 sf. Will maybe get down a bit deeper but things are looking really crammed with the bottom half. It is PACKED with bud sites and likely not enough light. Questioning the light change, but will definitly thin some lower stuff and "officially" let her be. Since in bumped up the CalMag to about 1.5 ml/gal the reservoir has been running ph equilibrium for 6 days now at 600ppm. I’m guessing this deficiency was driving down ph instead of the usual up/equilibrium in week 7. My first auto to eat at 600ppm for a week with no tip burn. She looks fit, I’ll keep her diet here as the max. I have never cut MicroGro out completely in a grow before. I have been faithful to GH 7 part series since for long time. This grow I took the GH feeding chart and worked backwards to a ppm level I found on the web to be an acceptable range for Autos. These ratios have traditionally been acceptable and without issue. Beautiful plants every time. On the last two runs with this concocted feeding schedule Cal/Magic was very light until week 7, and exactly when I started to see rust spots, etc. in this grow. After a 2ml/gal dose of CaliMagic plus addbacks on watering, that issue disappeared overnight. I mean zero issues with any new or progressing growth. Here's the take away with this. Although CalMag issues are easy to spot and resolve, I did learn is that in both runs they HAD A PERSISTANT DROP IN PH IN MY RESERVOIR in late veg/tranistion. Another wards, if you PH is dropping and your ppm are not doing anything, it very well could be a CalMag deficiency. An indication know before the leaves start getting spotted, etc. I guess if one were perceptive enough, you could resolve this issue as it happens, and never see the effect on the leaves? On this current run, as soon as I dosed the bucket good with Cal/Mag and kept my add/backs a 1.5/ml/gal the PH locked in big. Going on 7 days at 600ppm, 6.0 and the ph is steadily rising. Maybe another bump in ppm. No sign of tip burn yet, why the heck not!:) Not really the expected progress this week but she may just need time. I don’t think she’ll really bulk up until the end of week 9 / week 10. New light to arrive Tuesday but not sure a stronger light will get much further down. It’s almost a roadblock to get beyond the main tops and they are getting well more than they can handle light wise. Bigger light may only mean more heat.

They all are getting close to harvest except Gorilla Glue which decided to out grow tent. Had to open vent and add light for top cola. Ugh
