1/11/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I have a root almost in the water.. Yay!! Top feeding is almost done. she is looking a little sad as I work the transition Top feeding but once the roots are fully in the water she will start to take off. Ensured my PPFD is set between 250-300 it is set to: 258
1/12/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I have a root in the water.... NO TOP FEED TODAY SIR!!! now that a root is touching the water and she looks stable, I am not going to topfeed, I will see how she looks tomorrow and as long as everything looks good I am going to go ahead and do a change and week 1 fill on Nutes.. I know it is a couple of days in but the same Nutes go through Week 2 and get changed at Week 3 So I should be good to go.. I will just ensure I fill to root touching the water when I change tomorrow.
1/13/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- Water Change Day!!
I added 36 Gallons of Water to the system:
Silica= .5mil/gal= 18mil
CalMag= .75mil/gal = 27mil
FloraMicro=3.0mil/gal = 108mil
FloraGro=2.0mil/gal = 72mil
FloraBloom= 2.0mil/gal = 72mil
PH DOWN= 30mil
Very important thing with this system is to now wait the 24 hours for the system to adjust.. Do not make any further adjustments to your PH up or Down for 24 hours to allow time for the system to balance.
1/14/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I just adjusted the PH to ensure that it was right at 6.0
1/15/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today I Cleaned up the lower damaged leaves from the transition from top feeding to roots in the water. She looks good today.
1/16/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I just took a picture of the beautiful lady for Log. Other than that just normal day to day operations, check the pH, check the Humidifiers and fill as necessary, check level of water in the Res. Everything looks great. onto Tomorrow!!
1/17/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Today I filled the humidifers, checked the PH and just let her grow.. Grow baby Grow.....

To germinate the seeds I put them in hot water for 12 hours, I put them in a dish with slightly damp paper and closed it with the film. The seeds are germinated in 48 hours. At this point I put the seeds in plastic cups previously drilled and filled with a mix of ground professional plus 30%, coco professional plus 69% and mychorrhize 1%, at a depth of 3 cm. Then I watered with 5 ml of distilled water with rhizotonic and NPK + micro elements 20-10-10 ph: 6.0 and c: 0.5. After 3 days the little ones came out. At 7 days from the seed the young plants exhibit an incredible vigor and an already thick and strong root system.

Day 91 she’s huge and starting to bulk up. Her green color has returned once I got the ph issue under control I wasn’t sure if it was going to return. She was very sensitive to the water quality. I’m excited to Watch her bulk up she’s a slow finisher for sure. But you can’t rush perfection.

More Incredible Developments this week! I started adding General Hydroponics Bud on the first watering of the third week of flower - it has resulted in some surprisingly big and fast growth over the past week. You can see from going to the previous week and this one, the bud sites seem to just getting fatter and searching out for their neighbors above and below them with the white pistils - I know I keep saying this but as a lifetime cannabis user, this is the first time I have had the opportunity to watch my own garden closely through the entire plants development and life cycle, and so far this is VERY exciting and entertaining to see the developments each day. The topping and LST techniques I used (no experience, only watching videos and researching) have resulted in my plants taking on almost a bowl or basket shape, where the outside branches have reached far far above the middle canopy during their "final stretch" or first week or two of flowering. Now, the middle of all of my plants have numerous smaller bud sites that are developing - I am looking forward to how the lower canopy buds develop!
I am currently watering them every other day - 8 cups of water each. This past week I increased their water intake from 6 cups to 8 cups - So far I am seeing no sign of stress in any way shape or form - only VERY happy plants working on bulking up on their flowers. I plan on letting them do their thing and working on maintaining their environment so it stays consistent. Definitely a big increase in smell this week - the Cherry Gorilla x Sol Sonic seem to be moving along and bulking up a little more than the GMO. When picking leaves off the GMO, I can already start to smell and recognize hints of the tremendous gas garlic stank I have been looking forward to - Appreciate the Likes and Follows! Look forward to more photos and developments from my First Grow :)

Just finishing week 4. Damn fungus gnats got me down. Laying some mosquito dunk water on them and expect / hope to have that eradicated soon.
Going to do my second leaf stripping in first day or two and a second top dressing, which I do every two weeks up to week 5 or 6.

So far this week I am starting to germinate 4 seeds. 2 are blue dream matic and the other 2 are pineapple Express auto from Fast Bud genetics. I also did a leak test on my diy undercurrent rdwc set up. I should have seedlings by the end of the week. Update 1. Both blue dream have 1/2inch tap roots and 1 pineapple Express has a 1/4 inch tap root. The other one has just opened up. Hopefully that doesnt mean they are going to be slow growers. Update 2. Sorry I dont have any more pictures this week. I dropped my phone and now my camera doesn't work. The 2 blue dream matic are about an inch tall and in rock wool. The 2 pineapple Express auto have not sprouted yet. The tap roots are slowly getting longer. I think it may be the temp of the seed starter. I purchased a seedling mat and have them on it. So hopefully I will have 2 more sprouts. I also have been fighting with fixing the leaks in the buckets. So I bought some flex seal spray and it worked!

Week 3
Slowly but surely this little lady is trying to catch up to her tent mates. It finally adjusted to the ppms and the little bit of nute burn has stopped at the old growth. I just hope she can catch up to the other 3 girls 🤞.

Always a very pleasing on the eye strain to grow and was surprisingly easy to get a good yield with such a short veg and almost no training. Quality is pretty much 10/10

Evening fellow growers. Hope all is well and you’re all doing great!
This has got to be one of the hardest grows i have done. I always knew starting this early in the year was going to be hard and it’s proving that way.
And again a massive shout to James and the team at RQS for supporting me and supplying me with the seeds. 🙌
Here we are week 6 the start of the second week of flower. These ladies are moving along alright (I think) although the cold weather is back and has not been to kind over the last couple days. They are still stretching out which is good, just signs of cold which isn’t the best. The bud sites are forming slowly and the structure of these plants looks good. Let’s see what this week brings. ✌️
Day 37, watered 500mil with some nutrients. Held of on them for the last week so just adding them in slowly. Hoping they pick up a little. Took a few fan leafs off that are covering bud sites but other than that just leaving them to it. No pics as it’s very cold and don’t want them out the tent too long. ✌️
Day 38, warmer today and these girls seem to be ok. Nothing done just a couple photos and a video. ✌️
Day 39, watered tonight with 500mil and a little feed. ✌️

She had a great start but then it degraded. I had to cut a bunch of burned leaves. Since last topping new sites spread out and she seems to recover.
# D53
I went walk in forest and disovered very nice mulch with mycelium to prepare JMS (JADAM microbial solution) with it:
Ingredients:
- 200/300g of forest mulch with mycelium
- 2 gallons of dechlorinate water
- 3 cooked potatoes
- 7.5 gram of sea salt
Preparation:
- Add the water to the bucket.
- Add potatoes inside a mesh filter (pantyhose) and add forest mulch to an other filter, stick them to the bucket.
- Add salt, mix the water to dissolve it.
- Massage the patatoes filter then massage the mulch filter.
- Some reaction could be observed, the water moves like a current in the sea.
- Place the bucket covered with tshirt inside grow tent for approx 48 hours.
# D55
Feed with 3 liters of dechlorinated water and JMS at 1:10 ratio.
# D56
Prepare AACT based on:
- 5 liters dechlorinated water
- 15 ml molasse of sugar can
- 15 ml Bokashi tea
- 30 ml JMS
- 125 grams vermicompost
- 12.5 grams nettle
- 12.5 grams horsetail
- 5 grams growing guano
- 5 grams fish hydrolyzate
- 5 grams epsom salt
+ calmag
# Day 57
Feed with 3.8 liters of AACT.

Last 2 autos coming up maybe week or 2 before done. Expecting the large Durban og auto to foxtail some as it keeps adding white pistols. Smaller plant lost track of strain as I didn’t much care but for a little gal she is pungent.

Day 36# Day flowering 19#
As for the autos, i'm changing the title to "dwarf" lol
I was not at all satisfied with the vegetation, even less so with the stretching... as far as that is concerned
the stretching is not much different from last week, they are only 5 cm bigger,streching is over,they also branched badly, although they were under heat stress almost the whole week, but let's move on.
Yesterday was the end of their fifth week.

First time grower - Day 3 - Seedling Stage
Unknown strain, hopefully its a female
Light meter currently reads 101 lux x100
Should I give it more lighting or put it closer to the plant?
Using roots organic soil, should I prepare for nutrient feeding after week 1? And if yes, what nutrients should I feed them?

The branching beast is doing well, but it's time again to bring her in a good shape.
Also I'll set the LST new cause of the fast growing one of the branches started splitting up.
So see ya next week when I maybe repot her in a bigger pot and cleaned her up!
