10 /11 Weeks Flower¬¬ It's going to be a long flowering phase! 18/01/2024 Performed a mid-day clean using hydrogen peroxide Moved Spicy Temp to the flower tent Noted that the temperatures are a little high Searching for a new, large heatsink for the CropMaster Pro 1000 to resemble the SK600. Considering modifications to the CropMaster's heatsink as it is currently equipped with a 12-watt fan driver, PC fans, and connected to the LED mains power. It still works well, but planning to replace some LEDs once this grow is completed. Fed 200ml of organic random feed to 5 plants Discovered a sprouted seedling beneath the Forgotten Haze and relocated it to the veg tent 19/01/2024 Noted the arrival of the flowers 20/01/2024 Conducted a mid-day photoshoot Started using natural fertilizer as flowering has commenced, applied 150ml for every 5 liters of water 20-01-2024 Recorded a video of the pre-flowering stage, indicating anticipation of a substantial yield 20/01/2024 Performed defoliation before the onset of substantial flowering and cleaned up the lower growth Implemented SCROG (Screen of Green) 22/01/2024 Recorded a video of the pre-flowering stage 23/01/2024 No major changes, just observing more leaves and flowers 23/01/2024 Trimmed off the small undergrowth shoots Missed a few of the lower growth shoots 24/01/2024 Gently stretched the plant within the SCROG setup I'm aware that I need to reposition the pot more to the left to ensure the plants stretch evenly from both sides, but honestly, I'm feeling a bit lazy to do it tonight. I'll tackle it first thing in the morning, I promise! Originally, my plan was to have two plants in the set-up, but it turns out that Freaky Pablo is male. And now for a plant-related joke: Why did the Forgotten Haze Cakes go to therapy? Because she had too many hang-ups! _____________________________________ #IT WAS A RIDDLE YA DIDDLE SEE IT- "I was so stoned & baked last night and a little bit pebbled and tripped over a rake and then I finally had a ''eureka moment'' of what, ''Banana Shrimps are symbolic of! haha, my innocence is now ruined! The question I'm asking is; will I ever grow up? and leave Mushroom Town" _____________________________________. REAL CONCLUSION: The Skunk Of Trutn. Answer: Not for another 3-4 Weeks, then you get to leave Mushroom city. "But it's about Forgotten Haze Cake maturity in to woman hood begins. But she still stays in mushroom land, the land of the Forgotten, she's lost amongst the Haze and Cake strains of the cold damp soil where mushrroms grow. This is a Kind symbolic gesture reminder here, to keep the top soil clean during these colder times. We don't want mould or bud rot. Some hazes like to see 3 days of dropped temps to change her colours like a psychedelic trip during the start of maturity" "Shes always tripping over rakes, I have a little baby rake I use to freshen up her top soils" Allso she was living next door to Freaky Pablo that turned out to be male to where Bananas come from and shes the shrimp. This riddle is told by the perspective of the Plant realising she's a woman going through the stages womanhood" So, in conclusion, my fellow thinkers and growers, let's embrace the absurdity, cherish our innocence, and ponder the enigma of find a rake to trip over and lead us to that illuminating "eureka moment," no matter how stoned, baked, or pebbled we may be. Cheers to growth, both in the mind and the garden! _____________________________________ At mid-day on January 25th, 2024, I accidentally placed the light too close to the plants for a couple of hours, resulting in burnt leaves and pistils. It can't be a calcium deficiency since I have been feeding 6ml of calcium to 5 liters of water. The only difference was the proximity of the light.

Semana 10 - desde 27/12 hasta 03/01 *Luna Nueva el 02/01* 27/12: hoy realicé aplicación foliar Jabón Potásico. 1L con dos tapitas de producto. 28/12: hoy aplique Top Barrier. 10L de agua con 5ml de producto. Encontré muchas chinches chicas, se nota que salieron del huevo hace poco tiempo, máximo 2 o 3 días. Según me dijo un amigo Top Barrier ayuda mucho al transporte de nutrientes dentro de la planta… veremos que sucede ya que el 30/12 debo fertilizar fuerte con Top Veg y Green Explosión. 30/12: hoy tocó fertilizar con Top Veg y Green Explosión. 2ml+1ml x 1L de agua. En total apliqué 17lts de agua con producto y 5 litros de agua sin producto. El fertilizante lo apliqué con un riego por goteo improvisado; leí en internet que con la manguera para suero hospitalario se puede improvisar algo útil. No hay rastros de plagas por el momento. También ajusté los hilos de varias ramas. Ya que es mi primera vez cultivando una planta en suelo, me surgen dudas, hasta cuando debo seguir atándola? Es conveniente cortar en esta luna nueva los brotes internos mas cercanos al tallo? 01/01/22: hoy es la noche previa a la luna nueva. A las 18.30hs regué sólo con agua, directo desde el grifo. Regué el suelo y las hojas. Increíble lo vigorosa que se la veía después del riego.

I switched her to flowering. After returning from my Holiday I decided I would be moving cities. I wanted to veg her longer but switched the bulbs at 8 weeks. I am finally able to sleep in the dark! This rocks! Ive also been removing a lot of the excess leaf growth just to keep her fresh and not too crowded. The cardboard screen was removed and I used 4 chopsticks to press down on the lower branches and press the tops a little further apart; This really helped to space the branches out wider and allow light to breakthrough on some of the lower nodes. I started feeding her a little bit of molasses in her water, just to aid in the flowering. I also added wood ash to the top layer before watering. Also a little compost tea every now and then.

She is taking shape nicely, but in the meantime I noticed some CalMag and N deficiencies too. On the next feed I will go with 2/3 strenght and the following one will be 3/4 if needed. At the moment I’m switching from tap water to rainwater, the problem is that Biobizz PH down doesn’t hold the ph for more than an hour. Hence the deficiencies. I ordered a PH- from Growth Technology, it solved the issue. The watering regime is as follows: •Clean water in the tray for 3 days, top up if needed •Turn off the air pump, drain the water •Wait 12 hours •Pour the feed in the tray (4 liters - 1/2 strenghth) •Leave the feed in the tray for 24 hours, air pump off •Drain the leftover of feed •Clean water in the tray, turn the air pump back on

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

Day 15 🌱 everything is going well but I have accidentally decapitated N1, in reality I had topping already N3 but with N1 I broke without doing it on purpose. hope for the best. Day 16🌱 wow today N1 I see it well it does not seem to have accused the topping. everything seems to be going well for N3 too, he seems to be growing very strong. N2 is in excellent condition. Day 18 🌱 i am struggling a bit with "lst" but i guess because i started early. otherwise they seem to be growing well Day 20 🌱 I let them rest for two days. some training again today, they look fit and grow great. Day 21🌱 N1 and N3 grow great and look great. N2 grows well but has yellowed leaf tips as if I had given too much fertilizer, I think due to the pre-fertilized soil. Now I continue with water and I will check the drain ph Thanks for viewing. if you like my diary leave a like and a comment. come back to see me 🎂 good cultivation and good day💚🌱

Another good week!! I defoliated the smaller of the 2 plants mid-week... I think she is doing very fine. A small hiccup with the feed that same night. Only a few leaves are showing any sign on nutrient burn. I went ahead and fed them again today. I plan on watering them in a day or two... they were very thirsty this afternoon!! So, I definitely need to up the watering. I've still been feeding 3 quarts twice a week. Otherwise, all seems to be going well!! They are frosting up very nicely!! So exciting!! Peace!! Update for grow question: @The8thChevron thanks!!! I pulled them and will hope for the best for now. So close to the finish line. If I see more trouble brewing I will pull the plant. I don't know how to answer directly to you on the grow question.... Thanks again!!

Día 25. Las plantas vienen muy bien. Han mostrado un crecimiento tremendo. La variedad Tropicana viene muy bien y muy ramificada. Estoy aplicando una técnica diferente por cada planta de esta variedad. Tengo una con LST, otra con vorte apical. Otra con HST y otra sin corte estructural, pero si voy sacando las ramas que van a quedar muy bajas. Las Polaris empezaron a estirar y se va viendo interesante. Pero al ser esquejes revegetados, veré en base a los resultados si la guardo o no.

Vegetativo 13-12-2024 al 19-12-2024 13-12-24 Se nota demaciado la evolucion de la planta y se ve sana solo que empezo a manifestar un problema investigare el tema. 16-12-24 Quite la red ya que la planta se estiro mas, y tambien me informe mas sobre el tema LST Y ScrOG lo andaba aplicando de manera incorrecta, Se requiere poda y enredar la planta las primeras semanas de vegetacion entre la red, ademas sigo notando ese problema en las hojas que manifiestan algun problema, yo creo que es por sobrefertilizar, tratare de disminuir la dosis de nutrientes en el siguente cambio de solucion nutritiva. Se agrega agua (7500ml) solamente sin abonos bajando el EC a 1.1 y el PH se ajusto de 6.4 a 6.0. 17-12-24 Investigando un poco note una ligera pigmentacion en los tallos de color morado, pense que era normal pero investigando a fondo es una manifestacion fisica de la planta para pedir un poco mas de fosforo, tambien las hojas se empezaban a picar con pequeños puntos como si se oxidaran de color cafe, espero se corrija esta deficiencia, la tonalidad de las hojas amarillas disminuyo un poco., agrego 3 ml de FLORABLOOM 19-12-24 Se empieza a ver mejoria en las hojas, probablemente fue exceso de algun fertilizante, la proxima semana tratare de regular mas el ph y los nutrientes. Parametros Utilizados Temperatura del ambiente 23 C° Extraccion de aire 4 pulgadas Humedad 65% Potencia de la lampara 100% Ec Original 0.4 Ec Nutriente 1.8 Ph 6.0 Horas de Luz 18/6 VPD Range 1.0 kPa

Slightly Light amber, but I'm cutting her. She really looks ripe. Also an infestation of sap eaters, so the plant is at it's end. I'm happy with the result 😁

Ich bin nebenher immer noch viel mit anderen Projekten beschäftigt, daher werden ab und zu ein paar Wochen übersprungen. Allerdings habe ich auch vorgehabt aus der einen Pflanze zeitweilig eine Mutterpflanze zu ziehen um mir ein paar Stecklinge daraus zu machen. Mit Erfolg.💚🍭

I see a lot of branches growing out, i kept cleaning the bottom side so it focus on main colas. I see the size change so quick i wasn't even ready for it :-( i had a really busy working period this time i only add the feed. The Moby is the tallest and as i noticed it frosted out completely, Og is little smaller but fatter if you follow me, Lemon is a little behind but will be very nice Colas... Sorry all who follow that i have not been update a lot. I had a very busy working period. Thanks for popping by

The plant realizes there is an overabundance of light and it seems to understand this and develops accordingly. I see a mass monster. Focused on rates of photosynthesis, instead of photomorphogenesis. Added a custom Lakhovsky ring around the base. It is positioned in such a way that it rotates on itself, as in the photo, and an energy field will develop all around. If we have only 1 ring, the opening goes true north and the 2 wires must not touch. With 2 rings of different diameters, I can alternate North / South openings. (4x10" Copper wire wrapped in aluminum sheathing then further coil wrapped with copper)

She is a beast at the end of week 5 (day 35). LST Goal: Create an even FLAT Canopy with out the use of Scrog nets or stakes. This is achieved by tying down all the branches evenly, so that every top gets the same amount of exposure to light, air and nutrients.
