I was still spinning from the unsuccessful attempt to germinate my White Widdow Auto (In my other diary: "Gorilla Glue #4 Auto - First Run Ever"), I still felt pretty uncertain about what I'm doing. Reluctantly, I started germination of this strain in order to make sure I'd have enough medicine post-harvest. I am looking forward to watching this girl reach full maturity. There's such a wide variety of how she could end up looking once she's fully matured. I'm reeeallly hoping that she'll turn out like that "Bruce Banner Auto - Finished Candidate 1" Day 0 - Started germination on 9/24 using the paper towel Method using PH'd water RO water inside a little ziplock baggie. This time, I placed the ziplocked baggie inside a solo cup. Then I put the cup upside down in a tupperware container so that it was in a semi-dark place in . Day 1 - Came back the next day to check the paper towel for dampness. The paper towel inside the baggie seemed pretty damp but I still added ~ 4ml of 6.4 PH'd RO water. Day 2 - Checked the paper towel through the baggie and saw that she pop'd, but very little! I was sorta unlucky trying to germinate another seed right before this one, it never pop'd. So I decided to leave her there just for one more day this time... Day 3 - I already saw that she pop'd out the day before but, I was really excited to see exactly how much more her tap root had grown when I opened the paper towel. I was so relieved to see that she was getting along just fine. I went ahead and planted her 1/4" deep (tap root up - that's just how she fell), in a solo cup that I poked some holes into for drainage. Using unamended Happy Frog soil from Fox Farms, I watered down the soil with a little runoff using 6.2 PH'd water. After checking the runoff for PH (6.52) and PPM (1000), I placed her inside the tent next to the other girl I started ~ 1 week ago. I'm anticipating that it'll be okay to share the same environment since they're only 1 week apart in age... hopefully, I'm not wrong! Day 4 - I feel like her first night in the tent went well! The average temp stayed around 24.8C with 73% relative humidity. Just waiting for her to sprout through the soil now. Just making sure the soil stays pretty damp by spritzing the topsoil until I see just a tiiiny bit of runoff at the bottom of the cup. So that she doesn't get burned alive... Day 5 - She's a little shy... I hope she's okay! Lowered the PH down to ~5.2 thinking that maybe a lower PH is beter for this strain but she hasn't popped out yet. Still watering her till I see a little runoff and maintaining a environment of 24-25C & 70-75%RH. I'm excited about seeing pop out for the first time but I also know I gotta be patient. No pictures today, it's just dirt in a cup... Day 6 - She pop'd out to say "hello world!" finally, and I was so excited. I just figured out that I'm watering the lil lady with around 1/3-1/4 cup of (PD'd & RO) water a day through the spray bottle. I also decided to add some Great White mycorrhizae to the water to help with her root growth. Which was why I chose to use a dixie cup for her. Thinking about transplanting to a 1/2 gallon pot within the first 2-3 weeks after germination just to see what kind of progress the root ball is making. I switched the lighting intensity up to 80%, the color spectrum over to veg and I moved it to 23" away from the plant as well. I'll just have to be patient and keep a close eye on her till then. Day 7 - OMG, she grew close to .5 an inch overnight!!! She's looking pretty happy and healthy, a beautiful shade of green with a strong meristem. I gave her enough (RO & PH'd=~6.1) water to runoff just a bit, 3 times. Once at the beginning of her day, in the middle, and right before bedtime. I'm still following the 18/6 lighting schedule although, the temp did increase from 24-25C to 25-26C and the RH lowered from 75% to 73%, the VPD chart I'm using states that's fine since the VPD is staying between .70-.92 kPa ***See NOTE*** She survived and thrived her first week and looks a lot better than my other plant did at this stage of life. I'm so happy and proud of her progress thus far, I'll continue to track her progress here till she's ready for harvest. Note: I've been having issues with uploading every Day 7 photo I've tried 5x now... I've tried saving them as .png, .jpeg, and .jpg but it's not working (stuck resizing). I emailed the website admins about this 3 days ago ...haven't heard back from anyone so until this site allows me to upload the photos, you'll have to take my word for it.

Day 8 - Looks like she's coming along nicely on the 18/6 lighting schedule! Not much happening here or, maybe I'm just too impatient idk. I find myself constantly monitoring the tent to make sure she's in the right Temp/RH (22C-25C & 65%-75% RH) and the soil is not drying out. Just doing light spritzing on the soil right next to the seedling (where I think her roots are) using 6.2 PH'd RO water Day 9 - I started to notice some weird stuff on the leaves. Two out of the four (2/4) baby leaves she sprouted are looking kinda strange. One's curling from what I think might be overwatering and the other has some strange-looking "puffiness?" At least that's the best way I can describe it. I don't know if it's gonna be okay and I'm kinda concerned but, I'm doing my best to keep thinking positively. Day 10 - Lowered the PH down to ~5.2 thinking that maybe a lower PH might be better for her and I focused on spraying her a little less directly and more on the soil. Her leaves look fine today and she sprouted a couple of new baby leaves on top. I also added some Great White mycorrhizae to the water to promote extra root growth Overall I'm thinking I am satisfied with her growth. Day 11 - This week, I added some Great White mycorrhizae to the RO/PH'd water to help with her root growth. Her first 2 leaves have gotten pretty wrinkly, I'm not too concerned but I do hope that it doesn't cause any unforeseen issues ...I'd feel really really bad if it does! She definitely has gotten bigger and started sprouting more leaves that don't look wrinkly at all. I also changed her light spectrum from the seedling spectrum to the veg spectrum and power, from 60% to 80% ...not knowing what to expect from here. Day 12 - After the first day of changing the light intensity and spectrum I noticed that the temp went from 24-25c average to 25-26C and, I also noticed that the RH went from 73%-75% RH down to 73%-70% RH but, according to my VPD chart it's okay, being that the VPD has stayed overall the same .69-.95 kPa. She appears to be growing still, she's got a whole 4 leaves now and the newest ones are a beautiful green, happy and healthy free of wrinkles. Her first 2 leaves are a whole different story though. They're still kinda wrinkly and started showing little light spots that look like there might be a calcium deficiency, water that was too high in PH or just overwatering her in general. Based on my research obviously, I still have no clue if I'm doing what's right for her. I plan on getting some calmag next week along with some other neuts that might help. I think she might be a little stunted in her growth but she's still looking pretty healthy and happy for the most. Day 13 - Messing around and trying different stuff, stopped watering yesterday. I forgot to journal details, take photos, etc... Day 14 - Still trying to figure things out since I've been doing a lot of research on VPD with relative temps vs. humidity. No water today as well, I plan on waiting till she's almost completely dry before I give 'er any more water

Last week Veg completed. She has grown into a very robust structure and is at peak health. Can definitely see the results of the LST, since we’re going into flowering with many developed shootings that will manage to reach the top with no issue. Choosing to train when working with small spaces is a no brainer. Temperatures are starting to get lower as days go by too, which is great news. Looking forward to watch this gorgeous girl flower 🤩

Just been chopped toon al the lower branches off and put them away separate but will update on the total yield

I had the most brilliant moment ever. I ve been setting up the drip system for the first time with the runoff going into the ebb and flood system reservoir. I did not take into the account the syphononing effect of the pumps and that the reservoir water level has to be below the plants. I had two hours to leave for my flight, because I was going on a vacation. So I jumped online and found a way to make pressure regulator from piece of tube and t connector. It did well for the whole 10 days I was away. I'm really proud of my self :))))

Week 10 Hi everyone, Everything going brilliantly. Girls are gaining weight, trichomes development it's amazing. As for now some buds up to 10-20% amber and some are still almost 100% clear and milky. Leaves are still pretty green and I may keep nutrients for this week but all will depend of trichomes palette before switching just to water. Please stay tuned for daily updates Have a great week everyone Peace and love ✌️💚 25/09 Day 64 Watering approximately 2.5l per pot. runoff 50-100ml. This lasting on avarage for 2-2,5 day. 27/09 Day 66 All going smooth. Girls are covered with frost. Noticing some more amber trichomes. Will keep watering them with nutrients tonight and will keep observing closely their development before cutting off nutes completely. 30/09 Day 69 We are approaching final days of this amazing journey😁After closer look decided to flush this morning. Only water and Fish Shit on ratio 0.4ml per 1 ltr. Flushed with approx 3 ltr per pot. Runoff 50-100ml. Runoff ph 6.4. 01/10 day 70 It's the end of week10 Currently trichomes at some buds up to 20-30% amber 😍 and on the rest milky with small groups of amber 5% As its a soli grow we have a good few days for development. Not sure about harvest day yet but I would say 6-14 days at most. Thank you so much for all support, likes and comments 😊✌️💚 Stay tuned as best still to come 😁 Peace and love brothers and sisters

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 49 VPD is okay now - temps at 75F RH also now at 65% with ILVent at 50% = VPD of 1.04 - ppfd also same as yesterday mostly 480 to 490 around the ring with 510 and 520 in the center Took ph readings as well - 3 readings 6.43, 6.48, and 6.37 to avg 6.426 Which is good because she's starting to show signs of stress after the topping and defoliation from a couple days ago. The leaves are starting to curl at the tips and the bronze color stripping is happening again - however this time seems to be a slower progression so Im hoping that having the correct ph this time will help while she's re-routing her resources. I 'did notice also that the growth tips seem to be growing at a slower rate than before - I think she's at her limit in colas and the roots are having to find more space to spread, may even be too big for the 5 gallon pot. I have no plans to change her out just yet, but will monitor. Soil is drier today - so I will be watering tomorrow with de-chlorinated water at 6.4ph Day 50 VPD was good at 74/64 with the tent open while I feed that I left it open for a bit and took time in feeding and cleaning - after all that still good at 74F/61%RH/50%ILV ppfd was checked after water and setting back - same as yesterday as most of the newest growth is still coming from the new colas - most seem to be adjusting 1 at a time in each split but both are showing growth now on all cuts. Started feed by making new ph buffer solutions, calibrating/testing both meters. The have about a .15 variance between the two. Checked weight and made 1.5 gallons of feed. started at 228ppm added 450ppm veg and 150ppm bloom for a total of 833ppm feed/epsom salt - splashed h2o2 and ph'd to about 6.4- I fed via watering can and spray and fed the whole amount slowly since I was feeding until bottom drip and she took it all before starting to bottom drip. Afterwords I let her drain (about a quart came out) and checked ppm from runoff at 2500 (telling me she's okay but isnt eating as much as before her topping yet) ph is a mystery - I show 3 readings from top level of 6.62, 6.57, and 6.57 for an avg 6.586 but 2 separate readings from 2 meters (4 readings total) on the bottom runoff showed 5.3 and 5.6 then confirmed later. I expected a variance since the wood ash probably stuck to the top side of the soil - but I didnt expect that much of a difference. I will monitor but honestly dont know what I should do, if anything other than watch. made a video of the fan movements and runoff drip Day 51 What I am calling "stress burn" is progressing as expected. I am monitoring the ph from the top as I did before, but again, not much I can do other than over water, so I'll just watch for now and compare rate of spread until she fixes her resource pathways. It seemed to take about a week to clear up after the ash treatment last time, so I am on day 3 of 7 for now with no treatment. Looking for a spurt of new growth to show and then I'll know she's better. Adjusted the lights to accommodate a week 6 level of 500 to 600 ppfd - that means I can raise the lights to the top of the tent and increase power. So now set at 3 tick up and 37 inches from the soil or 26" from the plant top. Now her ppfd reads about 540 on both of the center colas and 500 to 510 on the surrounding ring. Adjusting lights meant I had to adjust the fans up to medium power and re-directed them to blow at the edges of the pot; made a video. VPD is steady, but still warmer than typical (only by a couple degrees nothing too much) 76F/61%RH/50%ILV for 1.15 kpa on room VPD Day 52 VPD is higher now that I have the lights to the top of my tent and the fans on the lights blowing down at the pot. I moved the IL Vent to the top sucking out with the motor and vent outside the tent now. I also opened two lower air holes with my heater set for fan on the opposite side of the tent than the vent. Currently, I am at a max of 1.2 room VPD and ranging down to 1.0 so I'll take it until it does something else. 74F/65% RH/75%ILV - I will monitor to ensure it's stable. ppfd is same as yesterday as there's little growth still. Spots are still progressing on the oldest leaves at the same rate as before - however the newest leaves are not showing signs yet, so I will continue to monitor. Day 53 ppfd was a little changed today, showing that there's growth coming back now. lowest on outer ring was 500 with most at 520 and 530 highest, center colas were tested at 540 and 560ppfd. VPD was stable as I watched it most of the day since I made changes yesterday. Temps were 74 to 76 and RH was 61% to 68%. ILV was set to 33% with the bottom heater on fan to draw in air. lockout continues on the oldest fan leaves at the last top nodes. New growth is already marked in a couple of spots. I have about 6 gallons of tap water burning off chlorine now and will use about 2 gallons to flush at 8ph. I plan to dunk this weekend with feed so this will allow time to dry out and hopefully reset the ph and lower my ppm readings at the lower part of the pot before then. Day 54 Took Control pics measured VPD and ppfd Lights are at the top of the tent and second tick from highest power level. Lights to soil is 37 inches and lights to plant is 12 inches shorter so 25 inches leaves to light. currently ranging 530 to 550 around the ring and 575/580 ppfd at center (after feed and replaced). Moving the lights (day 51) made the tent hotter so I changed my ILVent to suck out at the top and fresh air in at the bottom - I have been fighting to keep temps under 78 managed to hit 74 to 75 with the heater being set just to fan for the bottom air vents- I did also raise humidity to a setting of 65% a day before moving the lights, so Im hitting 61 to 68% between power cycles on the humidifier. Overall Tent VPD is 1.0 to 1.2 as max. Took controls for feed. Weight 16lbs 11oz. tested and calibrated 2 meters and took 4 ph readings of 6.55, 6.77, 6.53, 6.85 to avg 6.675. from top of soil (last runoff measured 5.6 and 5.3 on two meters) prepared 2 gallons of feed at 500 ppm over tap. (burned chlorine off overnight) starting ppm was 217 - added 75/25 veg/bloom ratio. ph balanced to 7.8 and 7.63 on separate meters (rinsed and retested to be sure got 7.79 and 7.63 again) I used 4 knitting needles in the soil about 3 inches from the plant center. Poured feed water over the needles until it pooled slightly on top of the soil, I then pulled the needle out a little to allow the water to drain into the holes better. I did this in 8 different spots. As soon as she started dripping water from the bottom I poured a little on the leaves and then moved the plant to another drip pan to finish pouring the rest over the top of the soil without dripping any over the sides. Took videos of the drip and waited 10 min before putting her on another clean drip pan and back in the tent. Runoff from second drip pan was measured twice at 5.8ph and 2410 ppm - and first pan 5.85 and 2670ppm (expected higher ppm since I moved perlite on the bottom with the needles) Defoliated the oldest leaves before lights out. Day 55 She mostly looks like she appreciated the clippings and ph balance from yesterday - slower progression of the lockout issue and largest new growth since topping day. So speaking of new growth, I plan to use LST in the next few days to set these colas in what will hopefully be their last bind around the ring. VPD is steady at 75F to 77F and RH is between 63 and 68%. My ILV have been set to 33% and the lower fan blowing rather than heat. top soil ph was measured with 3 readings, on a tested and calibrated meter. 6.47, 6.7, 7.12 to avg 6.763 (kinda wild in those readings so I double checked them all twice and got the same in each hole)

*Week 5 of flowering* Mimosa 1 & 2 are progressing accordingly, 0 signs of deficiencies. Though both plants are coming along fine Mimosa 1 is lagging a little behind but not a cause for concern. Water/Nute feeds have increased and the light cycle remains the same. Mimosa (2) appears to have shrunk in size but that is incorrect, Main colas were tied down to trellis.
