WEEK 11) DAY1 Changed light schedule from 20/4 to 18/6 which will stay that way until harvest. Now I also start dropping the temperature 1 degree every 3-4 days. You don’t have to do this! I do this so the plants gradually acclimate to the lower temperatures like fall and then the beautiful different colors that come out from every individual Girl are different. (DAY2) light defoliation for an omelette Fill both water 6 gallons ph5.9, put an extra fan under WMZ#1 due to her size I might put a standup fan behind her. (DAY4) tuck leaves down all around the cola’s well my ac infinity 8” fan just broke only 4.5 months old ridiculous. (DAY6) water 6 gallons

01/05 - Updating this a day early as they won't be 3 weeks old until tomorrow - but tomorrow's pretty busy for me... Gave them both a bucket change... added the Rapid Start to GG's bucket as her roots looked like they could use some (although I STILL think they look like OG has one more week of life to her than GG!) Going to start some LST later on today, a bit of ponytailing perhaps.... I have the feeling these two are going to fill my small tent!! Update: I went back 2 hours after changing their buckets only to find GG screaming in agony (see the pics of her teaching me a lesson)... the pH had shot up to 6.7 and she was NOT a happy camper at all!! Quickly made the adjustment and will check on her every half hour and measure her pH ... she's one sensitive little gal, is GG... Meanwhile, the same thing had happened to OG but, in typical OG fashion, she just yawned and said "Huh?" but I adjusted HER pH as well... good god! Second update 01/05 ... GG's pH was going up slowly again BUT she looked 100% better - her leaves had perked back up, the terrible crisping of them had stopped.. I trimmed off the two really bad leaves as they wouldn't ever regain any ability to help the plant and I did another small adjustment of her pH down again. I've also "ponytailed" her as I've wanted to try this technique and she seemed a good candidate as her cola was definitely going to be dominant. This technique will hopefully allow the side buds to gain more height and the plant will take on more of a bowl shape as opposed to a Christmas tree shape... Should anyone reading this want to try this, you need to know you cannot allow the ponytail to be in place longer than 8 hours a day... Interesting day... very interesting day. 01/06 - Well, the two of them made it through their day yesterday ... OG doesn't show any signs of any stress and GG is doing well although a couple of her leaves still bear the marks of her aversion to high pH levels! She's going to be the one I'm really going to have to baby but that's ok... OG is just a bull - nothing bothers that one! Ponytailing both of them again today... then I'll stop for a week before doing it again. 01/07 - Decided to do a regular bit of LST on GG - she's not as bushy as OG and will take more readily to that kind of training. OG, though, is still going to be ponytailed because she's short, fat and really, really dense. Did a bit of defol on OG yesterday and it's been well received by her - she's doing extremely well! Update... I've just discovered why OG is so much further along than dear GG... I was going back through the logs I keep because I wanted to know when to expect my newest baby's roots might hit the water - and I realized that OG's roots hit the water when she was only 4 days old! FOUR DAYS OLD!!!! That's unheard of... at least in MY experience! GG's roots didn't hit until she was 10 days old (her roots were only peeking out of the netpot at 6 days old) ... so no wonder OG has seemed like she's been about a week older than GG this whole time! That one is a ROCKET!!! Wowsie! 01/08 - Continuing to ponytail OG and LST GG... and both are loving it... responding really well. OG's side bud sites are almost completely catching up to the main cola so I think I'm going to just let it ride for a while. GG is needing more LST every day, keep pulling her over, letting her small bud sites into the light and they're responding well - had I left them alone, they would have been candidates for defoliation at some point - this way, they'll probably develop into good sized buds. 01/10 - The girls are really going to town but I'm having to do some hard LST on OG to try to keep her at a similar height as GG or we're going to have problems with the light distance soon. I may also have to do some defol on her soon - she's just terribly bushy! They're both loving their nutes - GG's is slightly less than OG's - and I'm keeping GG's pH at 6.0 since she doesn't seem to like it any higher than that... 01/11 - So the ponytailing days are over... both are being "normally" LST'd and they're both pretty much the same height which is good. Did some defoliation on OG yesterday - just took the two top fan leaves off since they were so massive they were shading the entire plant... she looks awfully good this morning and I'm super pleased. Starting to look for signs of pre-flower - should be soon!

Was such a pleasant harvest from start to finish, no issues at all. A tip for next time would be to have the SCRoG lower as I couldn’t really tuck any node sights this time round, smells absofuckinglutely amazing from 3RD week bloom onwards!

So I started this plant in my miracle grow Aerogarden for about 2 weeks then moved it to the coco pots. When I moved it the stem was really thick and very impressive. I originally had a second generation hydro Hawaii Maui Waui in the tent with her, really just expecting a small grow. Instead this monster took over all the space (and then some), so I moved the Maui Waui out and spread laughing buddha out, added another net and moved the 150w to the lower side to boost the Larf a little and hopefully add weight. So far so good, the stretch was definitely amazing to encounter. She grew a whole other 3x her size, from the bottom net to where she is now. The smell is so fruity it puts the Maui to shame with the deliciousness. AMAZING!!! That's all I can say thus far is FUCKING AMAZING!!!

26/10 ci elle pouvait murire vite maintenant sa m'arrangerai. Elle m'oblige a rester en 12/12 et c'est restrictif. 🤨 27/10 vite mais bien. 😉 29/10Je me doutais bien que l'humidité allait monté. 😕 31/10 elles deviennent carnivore pour halloween.😈 Enfin.. demain ou après demain elle a un rendez-vous avec le sécateur. 🤤 01/11 le capteur d'humidité est mort 😅 En attente d'un neuf, je mets l'humidité a vue de nez.😬 🤤 elle a l'air terriblement bonne.👌♥️♥️

Week 2 of flower, RO water change with an EC of 1.3. Will adjust from here and observe the next day or two. Although you watched as I did a major defoliation, as you can see, they have bounced back pretty quickly. As of now, I will be defoliating every few days just to keep the light penetrating the canopy so we have some nice buds come harvest time. Will be back to update in a few days to update where they are at and if they need more nutrients. pH is set and stable. Stay tuned until the next update and follow my YouTube and Instagram (Link on growdiaries profile)

NOTE: THE COUNTING OF DAYS STARTS FROM THE DAY THE SEED STARTS ITS PROCESS, IN THIS GROW DAY 1 WAS THE MOMENT THE SEED GOT INSERTED INTO THE EASY START (i do not recomend this method for experienced growers, but higly recomend it to unexperienced growers that might accidentally damage their seedling's new root as they move them from the germination zone into their next or final pot, with easy start you can just pick up the small cube of soil and place it inside the next pot GENTLY). NOTE: For strain informations, soil recipe and nutrient's stock please do check "Germination Week" as you will find all the information there. (Do not replicate nutrient dosages as these are higly variable depending on the conditions within the grow room or tent, so you may end up damaging or killing your plants even if they are the same strain from the same breeder). --------------------------------------------------------------------___________________________________________________________-----------------------------------------------------------------------_____________________________________________________________________---------------------------------------------------------------- 03/11- All watered with 950ml of water per plant with dilluted nutrients in the rates specified above. Light schedules changed to 19/5 and will be further extended to 20/4 to allow for more hours of heat from the lights as we progress into winter. 06/11- All watered with 1,4l of water with 2ml/l Bio Rhizhotonic + 0.45ml/l of Ancient Earth. GG1- Removed first set of leaves as those were not in use anymore completely covered from light.

It's such a beautiful run with wonderful girls. I can't get enough of this stuff. The photos are very thirsty and need more love as the Autos. My opinion is more on autoflower. 🚀🌻💃 # OMG, just harvested my stress-killer strain! 🌿 150g wet from such a small plant, only 40cm tall! 🤯 No training needed for this little beauty. So proud of my little green friend. 💚 Can't wait to see what the dry weight is!

|»» LOG DISCLAIMER: Not intended as a grow guide. Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 22 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17584.1, Been an interesting week in the garden.. At the beginning of the week, decided to increase the soil moisture level a bit. This was huge mistake.. Upgraded the reservoir and raised the height by 2ft. Also refreshed the lung room’s carbon filter. Bud growth was swelling up beautifully. But growth started to droop so switched the soil moisture back, but it was too late. The damage was already done. By then end of the week, lost TKO.. Heady OG is still recovering, but I think she’ll be okay. There were even issues in the veg tent and discovered that two watering units were malfunctioning. Thankfully this issue was fixed and by the end of the week all mothers are back to looking healthy and are thriving! Also gave away the two spare Heady OG clones and been tending to rest with basic RO waterings as needed. More so on the positive side, finally have all that I need to begin my journey into tissue culture and plan to begin soon! Also, even though TKO was lost in the flower tent (damnit Ensign), she is still alive and thriving in the veg tent! So yea. A lot happened this week. Both good and really bad.. Despite the issues, my ganja journey has still just begun and will continue to grow until I succeed. Everything is impossible… Until it’s not. Anyways. Onwards to next grow week.

Beautiful! --- Both the Gorilla Goat (back right quadrant) and Garlic Budder (front right quadrant) mamas are looking healthy and perky! --- The spare clones (Gorilla Goat #2 and Garlic Budder #2) are looking healthy but need watering. let’s go Ensign! - [+00:26]: Here are the starting initial watering ranges: ------ Gorilla Goat #2 » 255.4g → 300.3g ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 256.4g → 300.2g --------- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet] --- Took the starting weight of both clones before watering, ------ Gorilla Goat #2 » 231.2g and was watered 4 days ago. ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 252.7g and was watered 6 days ago. --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted the straw mulch of both cups with RO water. --- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible. --- Misted 10-20 sprays. Waited a moment, then misted again. --- Made sure to reference the watering weights. --- Repeated this process until both cups weighted at least 300g. --- There was no runoff. - [+00:44]: Took the saturated weight of both clones after watering, ------ Gorilla Goat #2 » 325.3g ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 315.6g --- Marked the final wet weight on the back of each cup.

Let’s go! ------ [ » ~30 MINUTES LATER « ] --- Alright! Stool has been built and she’s pretty sturdy! --- Also decided to refresh and change out the lung room’s carbon filter. The filter is long overdue because I think this will be the first time in this room. --- Also swapped out the lung room’s carbon filter and changed the orientation from horizontal to vertical. --- Now the carbon filter is resting on the table with the exhaust fan point straight up. The slight downside is that exhaust vent is S-shaped which will reduced the efficiency of the fan, but that’s okay. --- As for the carbon filter, both units are refillable! Plan to refresh the old filter unit with new carbon before the next filter swap out (have a bag of fresh carbon pellets). --- Anyways! Now the tank is 24in higher than it was. Since the auto-watering system is gravity fed, this should raise the PSI slightly more. --- This also frees up some floor space under the table. --- While rearranging the Ecowitt WittFlow units, I discovered an issue with two of the units. --- Both the front left (Heady OG BX1 #1 mom) and back right (Gorilla Goat #1 mom) for the veg tent were malfunctioning. --- Shaka.. When the walls fell.. --- Will check on the veg garden this evening. - [16:26]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Okay! Well the garden looks the green and healthy! --- But now the droopy growth from the Heady OG mother (front left quadrant) is making sense.. - [16:42]: Checked all Ecowitt WittFlow units again for water flow. --- Yep. Out of all six units, two are faulty.. --- Both units are giving false readings. Both are connected to the Ecowitt WittBoy WiFi hub and the app seems to be working just fine. --- But when the valves are on in the app, there’s still no water flow. --- Swapped the batteries out on both units and checked the intake tubing. Even used the manual override to open valve. --- Still no water.. --- Need to order new units later.. --- Shaka.. --- Well until the new units arrive, will need to hand water both moms. --- Let’s go! - [17:12]: Filled a pump sprayer with 4 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto the Heady OG BX1 #1’s straw mulch. - [17:36]: Filled the pump sprayer with 2 cups of RO water. ------ Added a pinch of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto Gorilla Goat #1’s straw mulch. --- Check on both clones in the propagation tray (Gorilla Goat #2 and the original Garlic Budder #2) and growth looks healthy.

When the walls fell. --- Well soil moisture levels all look great now! --- But looking back at my logs, Heady OG’s WittFlow unit started failing about 14 days ago. Also think Gorilla Goat’s unit started failing around a week ago. --- Damnit Ensign!! --- Even though these entries are literally typed and logged for daily grow reference, I completely failed to notice the soil levels dropping from around 41% down to 20% over the past two weeks. --- Wow. ------ [ » SEVERAL BOWLS LATER « ] - [20:05]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Nice!

Nice! Received my order from Plants-In-Jars! --- Ordered both the Plants-In-Jars Starter Kit along with the recently released ‘re-animator’ T-shirt! --- The starter kit includes: --------- AGAR [100g] ------ A high quality agar for plant tissue culture applications. --------- BAP [100 mL] ------ A cytokinin that boosts shoot proliferation and cell multiplication. --------- NAA [100 mL] ------ An auxin that promotes root development. --------- IBA [100 mL] ------ An auxin that accelerates root growth, especially in aroids. --------- MS MEDIA [10 L] + VITAMINS ------ A nutrient-rich medium enhanced with vitamins for superior plant growth. --- Aside from the AGAR Powder, have all the products stored in the fridge. --- Over the past two or so months, been slowly purchasing equipment for the journey into tissue culture. --- Now finally have the plant growth regulators (PGRs) along with the agar to make growth media. --- Almost time to start developing a cannabis tissue culture protocol for the garden! --- ‘5 Products, Unlimited Potential.’ --- The ganja journey continues with tissue culture beginning soon! --- Plan to completely fail for the first few batches, but have plenty of veg stock to perpetually keep trying. --- The Plants-In-Jars starter kit also includes access to a protocol library which has instructions for general tropical houseplants. Plan to start and modify from there. Also have reached out to Laur for basic beginner tips and cannabis specific advice for tissue culture. --- Even with all the current grow issues (also had a recent computer failure), getting hyped for tissue culture! - [23:12]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Wow Heady OG is looking better!

Shouldn’t have increased the soil moisture levels and still can’t believe that increasing the levels by 10-15% was enough to cause TKO to go from green and healthy, to burnt and yellow. --- Since I’m only flowering two plants this cycle, by losing TKO, just lost half the garden. --- Wow. A lot can happen in a week. --- Shaka. When the walls fell.. --- Well at least Heady OG made it through the week and am hoping she survives. --- Anyways, onwards to next. ------ [ » SMOKES SEVERAL BOWLS « ] [END OF WEEK 22]
