Despite the splendid aroma and delicious profile, the cultivation process of "Blueberry Auto" proved to be less favorable than promised. My expectations collided with reality when the plant remained relatively small, despite all my efforts. The sown seeds exhibited a discouraging germination rate, and even those that sprouted turned into mutants, adding unpredictability to the process. Despite these challenges, it cannot be denied that the scent and taste of this strain are so captivating that they compensate for many cultivation shortcomings. This raises food for thought: in the pursuit of the perfect growing experience, where aroma and plant size become paramount, how does one strike a balance?

First grow completed, turned out far better than I could ever have hoped, the plants totally bossed it for all the winging it and improvising I put them through, but we got there in the end haha, Looking forward to next grow, can't wait to enjoy using all good genetics, already have some Bruce banner #3 seeds ready to roll out :) Thanks for reading

Feb 1st Plants are stretching out with about 2ā€ growth last week. The root structure is awesome. I will be transplanting to individual pots soon. I am going to try out an autopot system which is still considered hydroponic although I will be using coco/per light medium Started them on 75% strength nutes Feb 3rd Moved the plants over to my new autopot system Feb 4th Plants moved to the new medium coco/perlite with very little shock. With in 18 hrs all 3 were perky again

First time grower, criticism will be well recievedšŸ˜€ Two plant ebb and flow setup in a 3x3 as a test run Top feeding until I can afford the rest of my setupšŸ™„ Started seed in water balanced to 6.0 Sat. Feb. 29th Tap roots within 12 hours, directly into pre soaked rockwool cubes. Broke the surface march 3rd. Began 1/4 strength micro, grow, bloom and stress relief Using very hard water for the next couple days, roughly 450 PM out of the tap. Ro system to be installed march 6th Ro system now installed. Start of week 1 will be Saturday the 7th of March. Day 2: Turned the light down to roughly 50%, instead of raising it, due to the fear of light burn. Will look into it soon. Plants seem to have recovered after I decreased the light intensity. Fan and filter purchased. Alternating flush and feed cycles 12 hours apart to keep salt sats down. Day 3: Bumped light intensity back up to roughly 75% of the ts1000's capability or 700 "light units" from a cheapy 3way meter. Adding as much co2 as I can through baking soda and dilute phosphoric acid. Day 4: Exhaust fan with climate control installed March 10th Day 5: Girls exploded now that I have my salt build up figured out . Day 6: Light back up to 100% Day 7:little droopy on the one plant, gonna let them dry out a day Setup should be complete for start of week 2.(actually sick right now and having trouble getting supplies) Still need a flood table setup.

Sensi skunk! Fem not auto! Few other bcn critical fem seeds planted around 3 weeks after the sensi seeds! Any signs that they actually female? First time growing! Some have been topped and lst tried! Also removed a few fan leafs from the bottom! Feeding every two days one hour after lights come on! Main 3 big plants are about 42 days old since germination so I put them into flowering 8 days ago! Not sure if it was too early! When lights go of I have a oil heater that keeps the temperature at the same level 25-29 degrees is this correct? I’m currently using canna coco a and b nutrients with cal mag my mix is 40 ml of canna a 40ml canna b 40ml cal mag mixed in to tap water 10 litres! I’ve feed them this mix since they were two weeks old! Recently feeding 1.8 litres every other day as stated above! Should I be adding flower nutes now? Up the feeding level? Few leafs look like there getting a few brown spots! Do I need to increase cal mag help needed as come this far and don’t wanna mess things up as cost me a fortune so far cheers

It’s the third week of vegetation, and both plants are growing like crazy! 🌿 They’re super healthy and pushing forward with lots of energy. I’ve been feeding them with the BioBizz nutrient schedule for veg and adding Root Juice to boost their root development. šŸŒ±šŸ’§ I’m trying different LST (low-stress training) techniques with both plants. For one, I’ve applied LST to the entire plant, bending the main stem to get more light exposure across the canopy. šŸŒæšŸ”„ The other plant is a bit different—I’ve only used LST on the lower branches to encourage better side growth while letting the main stem do its thing. šŸŒ±šŸ“ˆ Both plants are responding really well, and I’m excited to see how these different techniques impact their development. Things are looking promising! 😁✨

This grow gets a ten out of ten from me on behavioral attributes on how she grew through out all the stages of life. Vegging was an absolute pleasure, she thrived off the 125g of amendments, cal-mag, and kelp all the way to day 30. Once I noticed flower development I proceeded to give her, her first feeding of grow and bloom nutrients both at the same time @ a diluted mixture of 25% then proceeded to increase increments as needed into flower, cutting out the grow after two feedings. She has been to date one of the cheapest grows I've ever had, all that's left is to harvest, cure and smoke for the final conclusion on 3 bears auto from Mephisto. Hats off to the boys over there! All this did was get me excited to grow the remaining Mephistos I have stored away!

Grand Daddy Purple auto was doing great most the week. In the last day or two her ph jumped up. She is getting more hungry. I flushed her and got the ph back down. I then provided her fresh feed. She did have a few magnesium deficiency spots on her leaves. That should be resolved now. Beside that she made good progress, and is trained and ready for another week. Everything is looking good now. Thank you ILGM, and Medic Grow. šŸ¤œšŸ»šŸ¤›šŸ»šŸŒ±šŸŒ±šŸŒ± Thank you grow diaries community for the šŸ‘‡likesšŸ‘‡, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channelšŸ‘‡. ā„ļøšŸŒ±šŸ» Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

D08 - 02/10 - 4 girls of 5 are very close to the ScrOG net. I think I'm going to tied'em up tomorrow. I decided to wait to cut off the lower branches of the other girls because I need more time and I don't want a quick grow. D09 - 03/10 - Still waiting D10 - 04/10 - They are arrived. Made first LST to keep'em down... D11 - 05/10 - continuing LST. Very strong girls ! D12 - 06/10 - I'm impressed how the mother plant is strong. So are the clones, just incredible. D13 - 07/10 - Made a big defolation and topped the main branches. All the girls must remain down, else I'm going to have big issues ! D14 - 08/10 - Continuing LST under the SCROG. I cutted the secondary branch trying to do a main lining.The girls are very hard to manage, I think I'm go to double the scrog waiting to move them in the other room.

So I had some internet issues so I couldn't upload. But now everything is alright. This last week I only gave her water 2 times. first time I gave her 500 ml water and the second time only 250 ml water only. And I took more fan leafs off her as you can see I only had to hang her up without trimming or anything. After she is dried I am going to weigh her and see how much I got. ***************************************************************************************************** As for grow report : Blue kush is really easy to grow just make sure the temps optimal. The buds grow really dense thats 1 of the parts I like about this strain. She takes normal feeding. Very strong genetics. And she can take a few mistakes so this strain is perfect for beginners and in medium or expert hands she can get really nice with the colors and smell and taste. Next week i will post the weight and the dried product.

šŸ‘Øā€šŸš€šŸ‘‹ My 4 plants from this limited edition are still here and continuing to grow. (Genetics of this limited edition: Hawaiian Snow x Wedding Cake x Gelato 33) This week I start cutting a few lower branches from each plant. This way more energy should be available for the upper branches. All the plants survived my cuts! And keep growing šŸ™Œ For this culture, I would like to let each plant grow with a main bud without "topping". I would like the tent to be filled and look like a Sog in flowering.

|»» 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 15 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17541.8, Wow what an epic grow week! First week within a 12/12 light cycle and lots of training got done! Ca-Caw! Heady OG is blowing up with tops and been tucking to spread the canopy out a bit in the front left quadrant. But also started to let the right side grow through the netting. As for TKO, been training growth upwards as she stretches through the scrog netting. Towards the end of the week, her top soil sensor started to cut out and had to swap it out with a new one. Both the Heady OG and TKO clones have been transplanted into solo cups, but Heady OG is clearly struggling. To prevent the potential loss of the genetics, decided to take two more Heady OG cuttings. Started my first batch of lactobacillus (LAB) serum and am waiting for the water to activate. Also been researching about tissue culture and think this can be the solution to preserving genetics when space is limited. Anyways, Onwards Ensign! [START OF WEEK 15] ========================================================== ---------- [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] ---------- Heady OG BX1 #1 [Round4 ~Wk8] - WEEK 15 - Pre-Bloom [Stretch Wk1] TKO [Round2 ~Wk13] - WEEK 15 - Pre-Bloom [Stretch Wk1] ----------- [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ------------ Garlic Budder OG#1 - WEEK 07 - Full Veg Garlic Budder OG#2 - WEEK 07 - Full Veg Gorilla Goat #1 - WEEK 07 - Full Veg Gorilla Goat #2 - WEEK 07 - Full Veg 07/28/25 → 08/03/25 This Week's Estimated Goals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DLI: ~13 mol/m²/d PPFD: ~300 μmol/m²/s VPD: ~1.0 kPa This Week's Meter Readings & Averages ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Light On/Off: 19:00 - 07:00 | Wattage: ~326.5W [LV04] Distance From Canopy: ~31ā€, 27ā€ DLI: ~15.60 mol/m²/d PPFD: ~361 μmol/m²/s VPD: ~0.71 kPa Soil %: [49.6, 36.1, 49.0, 47.1, 42.6, 43.0, 43.0, 44.6] ========================================================== Day 01 - Monday - 07/28/25 - Total Days: 106 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.6°F [28.7°C] - Humidity: 82.0% - VPD: 0.72 kPa - Soil %: [50, 36, 49, 47, 43, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [+04:07]: Ca-Caw!! Let’s get this flower cycle started! --- Time to switch the clocks from 18/6 to 12/12 which will begin the stretch to flower! Let’s go! --- Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Main Tent [4x4] controller, --- Changed the schedule from 'Vegetative [18/6]' to 'Flower [12/12]' --- Also made sure to sync the settings for each device. The current settings are: ------ GROW LIGHT (MARS HYDRO FC-6500): --------- The Mode is set to ā€˜ON MODE’ --------- The START/END times are set to 07:00PM/07:00AM --------- The SUNRISE/SUNSET Duration value is set to 20Min --------- The MAX value is set to 4 ------ EXHAUST FAN (AC INFINITY CLOUDLINE T6): --------- The Mode is set to ā€˜CONTINUOUS AUTO’ --------- The Temperature HIGH/LOW trigger’s value are set to 85°F/OFF --------- The Humidity HIGH/LOW trigger’s value are set to 87%/OFF --------- The MIN/MAX values are set to 1/8 --------- The Temperature Dynamic Transition buffer value is set to 2°F --------- The Humidity Dynamic Transition buffer value is set to 2% ------ HUMIDIFIER (AC INFINITY CLOUDFORGE T7): --------- The Mode is set to ā€˜CONTINUOUS TARGET’ --------- The VPD target value is set to 1.0kPa --------- The MIN/MAX values are set to 0/8 --------- The VPD Dynamic Transition buffer value is set to 0.2kPa ------ HEATER (AC INFINITY THERMOFORGE T3): --------- The Mode is set to ā€˜CONTINUOUS TARGET’ --------- The Temperature target value is set to 78°F --------- The MIN/MAX values are set to 0/8 --------- The Temperature Dynamic Transition buffer value is set to 2°F --- The only difference is the ON/OFF times for the grow light. Now lights will be on from 7pm to 7am (19:00 – 07:00). --- Everything else is identical to the previous veg schedule. --- Anyways, --- LET THE TWO-WEEK STRETCH TO FLOWER BEGIN!! - [+00:55]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! Looking great my ladies! --- Heady OG (BX1 #1) is continuing to blow up with more tops! The canopy is looking incredible! --- TKO is also looking great with tops everywhere! She has taken over this grow and hyped that - [+01:54]: Trained and tucked the top growth under the netting. --- Canopy is flat and even again. Great! --- Day one into the 12/12 flip and growth is looking great! - [+01:56]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 46% - [CH01 FT Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 50% - [CH03 BT Ā» G20 - TKO] ------ 47% - [CH04 BB Ā» G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 40% - [CH05 BL Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 41% - [CH06 BR Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 40% - [CH07 FL Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 44% - [CH08 FR Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] Ā«| 45 - 60% [Moist] |Ā» 70% [Wet] - [+01:59]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mothers are all vegging along and the canopy is bushy and beautiful! --- Pots also look good too. No gnats! - [+02:01]: Checked on the propagation dome (in the 3x3), --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Clone growth looks great for the most part and getting curious on root growth. --- Heady OG looks green, but she has been very droopy the entire time. Not sure if this cutting will root, but there is no yellowing. May have messed up something in cloning. --- The TKO clone looks beautiful. incredible! --- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with RO water. - [+02:05]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Over the past week or so, been research about Lactobacillus and the organic benefits. Plan to give it a try and will start the process tomorrow. --- Shout out to Jeremy at BuildASoil for the YT videos and the Lacto recipe! --- LOYAL TO THE SOIL FOR LIFE! --- Anyways, Onwards Ensign! Day 02 - Tuesday - 07/29/25 - Total Days: 107 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.3°F [28.5°C] - Humidity: 80.4% - VPD: 0.78 kPa - Soil %: [50, 36, 49, 47, 43, 43, 43, 44] ----------------------------------- - [14:24]: Okay! Time to start some Lacto Serum! --- This lactobacillus serum is used to improve soil health and nutrient availability. This LAB serum can also be used to create fermented plant or fruit juices (FPJ/FFJ). --- Anyways, --- First need to make the rice wash solution! --- Filled a mini wide-mouth mason jar with 1 cup of White Rice. ------ Added 1 cup of RO Water --- Mixed the rice and water for a bit. --- Covered the jar with a paper towel and rubber-band. ------ [ ~10 MINUTES LATER ] - [14:38]: Great! --- Mixed the rice and water again before pouring a little over 1/4 cup into a mini wide-mouth mason jar. --- Covered the jar with a paper towel and rubber-band. --- The current room temps are around 80°F --- To start the microbial activation, going to let this rice water solution sit for a few days. - [14:45]: Smelled the solution through the paper towel. --- The solution smells like flour. Nothing foul. --- From what I understand the process is pretty simple: ------ Create the rice wash solution and let it sit for a few days to activate (white or brown rice). ------ Mix 1 part activated rice wash solution to 10 parts whole or raw milk. Then let it sit for a few more days for the lacto cultures to proliferate. ------ Once the milk separates into essentially curds and whey, strain out the curds and the extracted whey is the finished Lacto Serum. ------ This serum should remain shelf stable in the fridge for several months. ------ Alternatively, black strap unsulfured molasses can be added to the serum at 1 part molasses to 4 parts serum. This will make the product stable enough for non-refrigerated storage (lasts several months). ------ As for application, the serum can be used as a soil drench or foliar feed at 4mL (~1tsp) per gallon of water. --- Anyways, --- Will check on this in a day or so and am waiting until the solution turns from a flour odor to more of a sweet aroma. - [19:35]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw!! Looking great my ladies! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are raging with more tops! -- [20:37]: Trained the top growth. --- Now starting to tuck mainly tucked Heady OG to spread growth out under the netting. --- Letting TKO stretch through the netting and only tucked the taller tops. Mainly trained the back area (won’t be able to train this once growth starts to ramp upwards) and made sure each square has at least one apical top. --- Also plucked and defoliated the Heady OG’s lower growth. Cleaned her legs and now she’s nice and smooth! --- Wow TKO’s main stalks are huge! Can really reach back area now so going to let her grow. - [20:47]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 45% - [CH01 FT Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 45% - [CH03 BT Ā» G20 - TKO] ------ 46% - [CH04 BB Ā» G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 42% - [CH05 BL Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 47% - [CH07 FL Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 41% - [CH08 FR Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] Ā«| 45 - 60% [Moist] |Ā» 70% [Wet] - [21:34]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! All veg mama’s are thriving and bushy! --- Getting close to the grow light again so time for more training! - [21:53]: Super-cropped and trained the top growth. --- Pinched and bent the taller branches and lowered the canopy by 5-6 inches. - [21:58]: Checked on the propagation dome, --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Clones are growing along and hopefully rooting. --- Heady seems to be struggling, but she is still green. --- TKO is looking great and she is starting to get taller! --- Plan to check for roots in a couple days. --- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with RO water. - [23:07]: Time for a mini upgrade! Got a set of magnetic levels. --- Attached two levels to both the main tent and veg tent’s grow lights. --- Not really necessary, but the added levels will be useful during height adjustments. - [23:23]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 03 - Wednesday - 07/30/25 - Total Days: 108 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.6°F [28.7°C] - Humidity: 82.1% - VPD: 0.72 kPa - Soil %: [49, 36, 48, 46, 43, 43, 43, 44] ----------------------------------- - [23:36]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw!! Looking beautiful my ladies! Wow! This is why we grow! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are looking healthy and tops are bursting through the netting! - [23:54]: Trained the top growth. --- Mainly tucked and continued to spread Heady OG out to fill in more squares in the front left quadrant. --- Did minimal training on TKO. Just letting her grow through the netting and wow growth is raging! --- Wow! The canopy is looking beautiful! - [23:59]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 55% - [CH01 FT Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 49% - [CH03 BT Ā» G20 - TKO] ------ 46% - [CH04 BB Ā» G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 42% - [CH05 BL Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 47% - [CH06 BR Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 47% - [CH07 FL Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 40% - [CH08 FR Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] Ā«| 45 - 60% [Moist] |Ā» 70% [Wet] - [+00:03]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Wow mother growth is raging again! --- Really wish I can flip these ladies to flower, but don’t have the space. --- Plan to start another round of mother cycling soon. Will probably super-crop tomorrow. - [+00:04]: Checked on the propagation dome (in the 3x3), --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Wow clones are growing! --- Heady OG is definitely going through some sort or rooting issue, but growth is still green. She is now starting to show signs of yellowing, so there may be roots, but not sure. --- On the flipside, TKO is crushing it! She looks healthy and perky! The yellowing of the lower growth along with the healthy and perky top growth means there’s successful rooting and the clone is translocating nutrients to produce root growth. I think. --- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with RO water. --- Oh! Also continuing to research tissue culture (TC) and have decided to give it a potential go. --- Shout out to Laur and ā€˜Plants In Jars!’ Her incredible YT videos have been a huge game changer and a highly recommend free resource for anyone trying to get into DIY tissue culture! --- Pretty much now I think tissue culture is the solution to my mother plant issue. --- From the little I understand, tissue culture is basically an advanced form of plant cloning and can be done quite safely at home. --- If done properly, plants suspended in tissue culture can be propagated and maintained indefinitely until needed. --- Each TC sample is basically a mini self-contained mother plant pod. --- Once needed, a TC sample can be brought back to a clone-like state for planting into solo cups. --- Aside from the technical process (which is going to be fun to learn), the largest challenge is maintaining a sterile environment during propagation. --- Anyways! - [+00:10]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 04 - Thursday - 07/31/25 - Total Days: 109 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.5°F [28.6°C] - Humidity: 81.2% - VPD: 0.75 kPa - Soil %: [49, 36, 49, 46, 43, 43, 43, 44] ----------------------------------- - [08:42]: Checked on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Both growth and pots are looking great! - [08:43]: Checked on the propagation dome, --- Clones both look bad and good. --- Concerned about Heady OG, but TKO has been healthy and perky the whole way. - [08:45]: Time to check for roots. --- Heady OG had one tiny root. Not ideal, but was actually surprised to find any root growth. Nice! --- Woah! Nice! TKO is bursting with roots! She’s definitely ready to be transplanted! --- Decided to plant both clones. Hoping that Heady OG will do better in the soil. --- Time to transplant the rooted cuttings! - [09:13]: Took 2 used solo cups (has bottom corners cut for drainage) and labeled each cup (Heady OG BX1, TKO). --- Partially filled each with some fresh (dry) BuildASoil 3.0 potting soil. --- Made sure that the soil was well packed. --- Inoculated each cup with Great White mycorrhizae along with a bit of Beauveria Bassiana. --- Misted the dry soil with a bit of RO water (~3 sprays each). ------ Sprinkled 1/64tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus ------ Sprinkled 1/16tsp of Great White - [09:26]: Time to plant! One clone at a time, --- Placed each clone into solo cups (also removed the clone tag). --- Made sure each solo cup had enough room for more soil. - [09:32]: 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. - [09:35]: 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. - [09:44]: 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! - [09:51]: Filled a measuring cup with 2 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] ------ 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. - [09:54]: Took the dry soil weight of each pheno before watering, ------ Heady OG (BX1) weighed 261.4g ------ TKO weighed 240.9g --- 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. Waited a few seconds, then misted again. --- Repeated this process until both cups weighed at least 300g --- There was no runoff. --- Oops! --- Had to slightly extend the day period (Lights usually turn off at 10:00). - [10:04]: Took the weight of both phenos after watering, ------ Heady OG (BX1) weighed 301.2g ------ TKO weighed 301.4g --- Marked the saturated wet weight on each cup. - [10:12]: Placed both cups into the propagation dome. --- Removed the side extensions along with the plug tray and have the cups resting in the main drip tray. --- Have the lid and lights suspended above the tray (~00 inches). --- Also increased the propagation dome’s bar lights. ------ Increased the intensity from 1 to 5 - [10:13]: Took general PPFD readings. ------ Clones were around 109 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 7.06 mol/m²/d under an 18/6 light cycle. --- Turned the lights off and made sure that both were back to an 18/6 cycle (on from 16:00 to 10:00). --- Ca-Caw!! Done! --- Not worried about TKO, but getting concerned about Heady OG. Not sure if she is going to make it. - [14:23]: Checked on the Lacto Serum. --- The solution has been resting for 2 days. --- Smelled the rice wash solution through the paper towel. --- The odor has changed from the original flour odor but has not become sweet. However, the smell is getting there. I think. --- Will continue to check and still waiting until the solution changes into a sweet aroma. - [19:24]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ooo yea! Growth is looking beautiful and raging along! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are thriving with growth! The stretch is definitely ramping up! - [20:08]: Trained and tucked the top growth. --- Mainly focused on the Heady OG and spread her out a bit more evenly to fill in more squares. --- Wow TKO by far going to be the largest plant I’ve grown in a 4x4 tent. She’s extremely dense with healthy tops shooting up everywhere! --- Since I’m not tucking TKO anymore and she is getting taller, need to take readings and measurements. - [20:38]: Took the weekly general PPFD readings. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was still around 361 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 15.60 mol/m²/d under a 12/12 light cycle (at ~326.5W). ------ TKO was around 365 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 15.77 mol/m²/d under a 12/12 light cycle. - [20:40]: Took the weekly height and light distance measurements. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was still about 21.5" tall. ------ TKO was about 26" tall. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 31" away from the grow light. ------ TKO was about 27" away from the grow light. --- Since Heady OG is clearly struggling to root, going to take a few more lower cuttings to make sure the genetics survives. - [20:52]: Filled a measuring cup with 1.5 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/8tsp of Horticultural Aloe --- Mixed the solution and poured it straight into a solo cup. - [20:56]: Time to take the cuttings! --- Using a pair of trimmers (AC Infinity), --- Gently cut 2 small cuttings from Heady OG (BX1 #1). Took lower branches that did not reach the top canopy level. --- Trimmed and cleaned most of the nodes leaving the top node or two. --- Did not cut any leaf fingers. --- Made sure the tip of the stalk had a slanted cut (about 45-degree). - [21:02]: Placed both cuttings into the cup of aloe solution. --- Also made sure the cuttings were tagged. Not really necessary, but why not. - [21:05]: Placed the cup into the 3x3 veg tent. --- Have the cup resting in the propagation dome next to the planted clones. --- Going to let these cuttings soak for a day before refreshing with straight RO water. --- Let the two-day soak begin! - [21:06]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 47% - [CH01 FT Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 50% - [CH03 BT Ā» G20 - TKO] ------ 46% - [CH04 BB Ā» G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 44% - [CH05 BL Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 41% - [CH06 BR Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 43% - [CH07 FL Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 46% - [CH08 FR Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] Ā«| 45 - 60% [Moist] |Ā» 70% [Wet] - [21:08]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Looking great in the mother tent! --- Was planning on defoliating and taking new veg cuttings, but since Heady OG is struggling, going to wait a bit longer to start the mother cycling process. - [21:18]: Super-cropped and trained the top growth. --- Lowered the canopy a good 4-5inches. - [21:19]: Checked on the clones, --- Looking great! --- Heady is still struggling, but hoping she’ll perk up soon. --- TKO is looking perfect! She’s perky and I have no doubt that she’ll root just fine. --- More worried about Heady OG. - [22:08]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Let’s go ladies! Wow the garden is packed and looking incredible! --- Heady OG and TKO are looking perky and stretching through the netting with nodal growth everywhere! --- By far my healthiest grow cycle yet! - [22:21]: Did a bit of training. --- Slightly tucked and spread Heady OG a bit more to fill in the front left quadrant. --- Just going to let the rest grow! - [22:25]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 52% - [CH01 FT Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 54% - [CH03 BT Ā» G20 - TKO] ------ 46% - [CH04 BB Ā» G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 44% - [CH05 BL Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 41% - [CH06 BR Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 46% - [CH07 FL Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 48% - [CH08 FR Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] Ā«| 45 - 60% [Moist] |Ā» 70% [Wet] - [22:34]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! The veg garden is beautiful and wow growth is raging! --- Wow! The canopy is already stretching upwards and will probably need to train again tomorrow. --- Checked on the clones, --- Nice!! Growth is all around healthy and looking great! --- Heady OG looks less droopy. I think. --- TKO is looking perfectly healthy and already getting taller! Wow! --- Nice! Both Heady cuttings are looking healthy and not droopy. - [22:38]: Time to swap the aloe water out! --- Replaced the solo cup with a clean one filled with fresh RO water (1.5cups). --- Going to let this soak for another day before transplanting into Coco Coins for rooting. - [22:44]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

The clones and cuttings are looking healthy and green! --- Heady OG (BX1 #1) is droopy and seems to be recovering. I think? --- TKO is looking healthy and looking beautiful! --- Nice! Both Heady OG (BX1 #2 and #3) cuttings are looking good! These cuttings are quite a bit smaller than the last round, but they are healthy and green! - [20:06]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! Wow the canopy is thriving! --- Heady OG is looking healthy and perky! --- Wow! TKO is stacking up with nodal branching and crowning is everywhere with perky tops! - [20:13]: Did a bit of tucking on the front left quadrant. --- Could have trained Heady OG another week in veg before flipping to flower, but oh well. TKO needed to be flipped. - [20:32]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 45% - [CH01 FT Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 66% - [CH03 BT Ā» G20 - TKO] ------ 47% - [CH04 BB Ā» G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 47% - [CH05 BL Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 44% - [CH06 BR Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 42% - [CH07 FL Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 43% - [CH08 FR Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] Ā«| 45 - 60% [Moist] |Ā» 70% [Wet] --- Needed to swap out the batteries for TKO’s top soil sensor (CH03). --- Apparently there is a slight flaw with the programing on the WittFlows. Since the watering function is based on the channel and not the sensor, when TKO’s top sensor cuts out, the new CH03 (which is TKO’s bottom sensor) takes over. --- Anyways, - [20:38]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Veg garden is looking beautiful and wow top growth needs more training! - [20:53]: Super-cropped the top growth a bit. --- Lowered the canopy a few inches. --- Growth is getting out of control! Wow! Need to take cuttings soon to start the cycling process. --- Anyways! - [20:54]: Checked on the clones, --- Wow clone growth is looking very good! --- Heady OG seems to be recovering nicely in the soil and I’m getting more confident that she’s going to make it. Nice! --- TKO is looking great! She’s going to root and will be ready for transplant in a week or so. --- Both Heady OG cuttings are looking healthy and ready to be rooted! --- Time to plant the second round of Heady OG (BX1) cuttings! - [21:13]: Filled a measuring cup with 1.5 cups of RO water. ------ Added a pinch of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] ------ Added 1/64tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1/32tsp of Mycrobe Complete --- Mixed the solution thoroughly. - [21:17]: Dropped 2 Coco Coins into the measuring cup. --- The coins immediately started to expand. ------ [ ~10 MINUTES LATER ] --- Took each fully saturated Coco Coin and temporarily placed them in half-cut solo cups. --- Using a squeeze bottle filled with Clonex, - [21:38]: Gently filled each pre-made hole with Clonex rooting gel. --- Time to plant the cuttings! - [21:43]: Using a pair of clean trimmers, made a final 45° cut. --- Also stripped and scrapped some of the stem’s outer membrane. --- To help with planting, gave each Coco Coin a squeeze to loosen the coco. --- Made sure to insert each stem straight and snug with the tip about a 1/4 inch from the bottom of the Coco Coin. --- Also secured the stem by pinching and pressing in the sides of the Coco Coin. --- After both cuttings were planted, --- Temporarily took the clones out of the propagation tray. Also placed the plug tray back in. - [21:53]: Placed both Coco Coins into the propagation dome’s tray. --- Since these cuttings are both identical cultivars, no need to really name. --- Added 1/2 cup of RO water to the bottom of the tray. --- Since I’m not using the dome lid (which is currently hanging above the tray), misted a couple of clear cups with RO water. - [21:55]: Covered both cuttings. --- Will need to mist the cups for the first few days in the tray. --- While rooting the cuttings, noticed that both clones (Heady OG BX1 and TKO) need to be watered already. --- Let’s go! - [22:02]: Took the initial starting weight range of both clones before watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 #1 Ā» 261.4g → 301.2g ------ TKO Ā» 240.9g → 301.4g --- General Solo Range: [Dry] Ā«| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |Ā» [Wet] --- All phenos were last watered 2 days ago. --- Took the starting weight of both clones before watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 weighed 278.2g ------ TKO weighed 253.5g --- 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. --- Repeated this process for both cups. --- There was no runoff. - [22:18]: Took the saturated weight of both clones after watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 weighed 278.2g ------ TKO weighed 253.5g --- Marked the final wet weight on the back of each cup. Also marked the watering date on the front. - [22:27]: Placed both phenos back into the tent. --- Done! Grow strong little ones! - [22:33]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Clones and cuttings are looking healthy! --- Misted the cutting’s cups with RO water. - [19:46]: Back in the 4x4 main tent, --- Decided to tuck Heady OG a bit more and tried to spread the growth in the front left quadrant. --- Growth is going to be uneven but I think the left side will eventually even out. I think. - [19:54]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. - [19:58]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Another week done and the garden is vibing and thriving! --- Next week will be the end of the stretch phase and as growth slows down, will hopefully see signs of budding. --- Ca-Caw! Stoked for this grow and can’t wait until these girls start to flower. - [+02:20]: TKO’s soil sensor cut out again.. --- Swapped out the unit with a new one and re-synced the channel to correct sensor ID. --- The old sensor got water damage. Going to try to dry it out, but really glad I have a couple spare units. --- Also glad that TKO seems to be taking the extra watering without any issue! May try to increase the soil moisture average next week for both pots. --- Anyways! Onwards Ensign! [END OF WEEK 15]
