2/1/2024- Pre-Germination Activities Day 1
I have 21 weeks until final photo is do.. I took 3 seeds out of cold storage and will let them get to room temp for the next 48 hours before I go with Glass of water for germination. I have 3 beans because I will start from the very beginning helping ensure I present the best Pheno. This is going to be a fun one.. I am a few days away from being able to clear my tent out for this run.. I have a breeding run in right now and the Seeds are a few days away from being mature enough for me to take down the girls.
Once I get them down I will need to get my tent cleaned up and turned over right away. This is going to be close, I will have to time them to the water and into the tray at the right time.. because I will need to get lighting on them right away.. I have my 2X2 and my light ready incase I need to hold them in the cloning machine if the others are not done in the next few days.. Glad I have options that can stretch me out for a week or 2 to give me a little more time.
2/2/2024- Pre-Germination Activities Day 2
I checked on my breeding run to see how close the seeds are and if the tent is ready for me to clear and clean but alas I am still going to need a few days. I setup the emergency 2X2 and that should give me 2-3 weeks. The plan is to still wait one more day to allow the beans to warm up to room temp and then drop them in Water sometime tomorrow.
Form my Emergency 2X2 I have the following:
4" inline fan and carbon filter
Fan
VS-2000 light
2/3/2024- Germination Activities Day 0 - Dropped the Beans in.. Today is 0 day.. Go.. Go .. Go..
2/4/2024- Germination Activities Day 0-1 - Checked in on them this morning and no tap roots yet.. covered them back up and back in to the closet they went. I setup the Root Riots and the Seed tray for them. I Ensured my water that I was soaking the root riots in was PHed to 5.8 and I used RO water.
Afternoon Update: Checked on my Breeders and they are done. I started to harvest them, I took down the one I had reversed with STS and I took down the Black African Magic- All but one bud, I wanted to get some pics of that one today.
I was only able to get 2lbs into the Cannatrol because I had to be very careful to keep the bud from the plant that was treated with the STS separated from the other seeded bud that was pollenated from the plant I reversed.
Cannatrol could have held an additional 2oz of wet but not today. Ideally I need 1 more Cannatrol so I can take an entire Tent, but will figure that out. I put an additional 1.5lbs into the freezer to wait it's turn into the Cannatrol, I would have left it on the plant and taken it in 4 days when the dry cycle gets done but wasn't sure how much 2.2 lbs was equivalent to chopped and wet trimmed.
2/5/2024- Germination Activities Day 0-2 - Checked in on them this morning and 2 of them have very small tap roots out.. one still doesn't going to give them some more time. I will check in on them this evening and see if they are more open if so I will transfer the ones that are ready to their medium and seed tray.
2/6/2024- Planting Day TRUE Germination Day 0- Checked in on them this morning and all 3 of them have tap roots out. I broke the bottom of the tap root for #1 which was the biggest.. pretty sad.. I hope she survives.. I tried to be careful it just snapped off when I was trying to get it in the root riot right. Other than that all three are now in their in-between home in the 2X2 while if finish clearing and cleaning out their forever homes.
2/7/2024- Germination Day 1- Checked in on them and no surprise no sprouts yet. Sprayed the dome to moist it and light spray to the tops of the Root Riots.
2/8/2024- Germination Day 2- #3 is popped and it looks like #2 will be popped by this evening.. I got my second Cannatrol today so now I can take down the rest of the tent and get it into the dry/cure.
2/9/2024- Germination Day 3- #2 is popped as well.. so I have #2 and #3 up and still waiting to see on #1 but that might be a loss since I accidently broke off some of the Tap root when transplanting.
2/10/2024- Germination Day 4- #1 has Popped... We have ignition on all 3.. YAY!! I finished clean up and install of RDWC system, this time was unique the back left buckets 3 inch pipe wasn't seated correctly so I had to clean up about 12 gallons of water all of the floor. I also had two leaks coming from one of the Waterfall return junctions, this is why I do a full pressure test before I put anything in. I will continue to monitor it through tomorrow to ensure that I am good to go and then I will finish setting up the baskets and prepping the water to be ready for the ladies planting day!!!
2/11/2024- Germination Day 5- #1 Of course is going to be my trouble plant.. No matter what If she lives through planting in the system and making it, I think I might not cull her at all regardless, she has been such a problem, makes me wonder if she will be super worth it towards the end.. We will see as we go through this grow, but #1 has a piece of the shell on the leaves,
Other than that I set up a new thing I have been doing since last grow converting my Baskets into Sure plants so I can see exactly where the water is when I plant them and ensure I have the water up high enough that they are able to access it and grow but not too high were they are drowning.
2/12/2024- Germination Day 6- Everything seems to be going good.. will just keep them moist and let the roots grow for a few more days before I transplant to forever home.
2/13/2024 - Germination Day 7- Just keeping them Moist.
2/14/2024 - Germination Day 8 - Planting day.. they are now in the system.. :-)I had to fill the water to the bottom of the basket where I could see water on the bottom rocks and just coming up where I had created my whole/ sure plant.
2/15/2024 - Germination Day 9- Top fed just a little to keep them moist and encourage root growth towards the water. I ensured the PH is right at 5.98-6.02 range.
2/16/2024 - Germination Day 10- Top fed just a little to keep them moist and encourage root growth towards the water.

Had quite a defoliation this week, taken most of the big fan leafs off and given their legs a shave. Plenty of flower sites appearing. The plant that has been pale all along is starting to come round now, my own fault for not feeling the weight of the pot and letting it get over watered the Migro aray 4x4s are now at 100%

Semana 8
La Swag MDC sigue destacando con su forma inusual y cogollos cada vez más densos y cubiertos de tricomas. Las hojas anómalas brillan aún más con resina, dándole un look muy particular 🌿✨.
La nutrición con XpertNutrients se mantiene ajustada y efectiva, sin excesos. El riego ha sido afinado para favorecer la maduración y mantener un sustrato bien oxigenado 💧.
Las luces Adlite continúan aportando una cobertura excelente, permitiendo un desarrollo homogéneo incluso en las zonas bajas 💡. El clima permanece estable (21-24 °C, 50% HR) y sin señales de problemas.
El aroma evoluciona con fuerza: base frutal madura, notas herbales más intensas y un perfil más complejo cada día 🌱.
Una planta muy curiosa, distinta en todos los sentidos.
¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Welcome to week 4 of flower for this lovely project! I anticipate that things will slow down in the manner of stretching this week and the plants will start focusing on flower growth. I don't think the plants are too affected by the slight mishap of last week ( timer failure ) but only time will tell. Some of the plants are starting to put out a nice nose while others are really subtle still. Over all very excited to see what's going to happen this week!
Huge shout outs go to @MarsHydroLED for making some great gear for growers to work with! Also give a HUGE shout out to @Seedsman and @GreenHouseSeedCo for making such excellent strains that make great medicine!
HUGE shout outs to all my followers and people who stop into the diary alike! Keep inspiring to grow!

Day#22F Ladies are really stacking up, quite excited to see them in full blown flowering.
Day#23F Pictures N/A. Fuel D.og#2 started to yellow up abit, not to sure why but where going to try and address this issue.
Day#24F Pictures N/A. Ladies continue to stretch along and stack them flower sites. Trichomes are starting to stack up really early on these girls.
Day#25F The ladies are growing along nicely, adding weight to them flowers daily! The nose coming off them is starting to get stronger and stronger now!
Day#26F Pictures N/A. Ladies are almost done their stretching, some have started to slow down now. Won't be long till we look at installing nets.
Day#27F Ladies are starting to put on some serious mass now. I hope that we get some nice colourful flowers!
Day#28F Pictures N/A. The nose on Kings Juice is INSANE!!!!!!! I absolutely can't get enough. Plants continue to put on mass.
Recap: We move the ladies into the bigger tent ( still same growing space 4x4 just in a different tent set up a different way ) and we will be looking to install the nets too to help support these lovely flowers. Over all things went really well this week and we are looking forward to seeing what next
week will bring!

The plant was tied extremely low and the net was stretched.
The plant was also repotted in an air pot.

Hi Growmies~!
What This Post is About
Today, I'll be recording how to cultivate soil microbes at home.
These microbes offer numerous benefits, and they are simple to make.
How I Came Up with This Technique
Since 2014, I’ve tried synthetic growing methods like DWC. While they gave quick results, I often ran into issues with consistency.
Nutrients would expire during breaks, meaning I had to keep buying new bottles.
I strongly felt I needed a change.
A couple of years ago, after taking a break, I started to research and switched to organic growing.
At first, it felt overwhelming with all the steps and prep work, but I saw real potential.
After experimenting with different methods, I came across Korean Natural Farming (KNF) and JADAM, introduced by Mr. Cho.
His simple, ultra low-cost techniques inspired me. They focus on letting nature do the work.
While growing,
I noticed that synthetic nutrient bottles were expensive, especially when trying to complete a full nutrient set.
Organic growing may require more attention and can be costly when investing in organic materials.
Preparing the soil in advance and top dressing with dry nutrients every other week - just these two methods were consuming space, time, and money.
Indoor farming is unnatural, while organic farming is a natural approach.
I had to bring these ideas together, but organic farming often seems geared toward large plots like farms.
Incorporating organic techniques into my indoor garden requires a lot of effort and careful calculations.
So this is one of my techniques for keeping my plants happy:
supporting their daily needs helps them snap out of deficiencies quickly, allowing them to grow consistently.
It took me a while to adapt this technique for indoor use.
I hope this helps, guys!
Supplies Needed
- Potatoes: Provide nutrients and food for the microbes.
- Sea Salt: Stimulates microbial activity and controls harmful organisms.
- Dechlorinated Water: Allows the microbes to grow and multiply.
- Compost, leaf mold, or worm castings: Contains natural microorganisms that are key for this process.
How to Make (1 gallon)
1 cooked potato (about 2 golf ball-sized)
1 pinch of sea salt
2 tablespoons compost or worm castings
1 gallon dechlorinated water
1. Mix Ingredients: In a clean container, fill it with the dechlorinated water, dissolve the sea salt, and add the compost along with the mashed potato.
2. Ferment: Optionally cover the container and let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours.
3. Strain (Optional): After fermentation, you can strain the solution if you prefer a clearer liquid.
Note: Watch the timelapse video to see how the microbes activate!
**WARNING**
Wear gloves if possible and/or avoid contact with open wounds
How to Use
IMPORTANT: Always dilute the solution before applying it to plants.
- Use when bubbles form a "pizza shape" on the surface.
- Dilute 5-10 ml per liter of water for bi-weekly feeding. (Test a small batch first to find the best rate for your setup.)
- Once the bubbles disappear, the microbes are likely inactive. You can either mix the rest with water as fertilizer or discard it.
Pros
Promotes Plant Growth
- Usually fixes deficiencies in as little as 6 to 72 hours.
- Improves nutrient absorption, and helps plants thrive.
Boosts Plant Immunity
- Works as IPM: Can be used as foliar sprays (no staining on leaves).
- Lowers the risk of powdery mildew and other diseases.
- Helps the soil ecosystem with beneficial organisms like predatory mites and springtails.
- Naturally reduces pest pressure (Less risk of fungus gnats and other pests).
Improves Soil Health & Supports Composting
- Quickly breaks down organic matter and nutrients.
- Makes growing organically in small containers, like 1-gallon pots, easy.
- Over time, soil becomes softer and richer, even in small pots.
Cost-Effective, Sustainable & Eco-Friendly
- No need for complex equipment like pH pens, air pumps, or other tools.
- Reduces the need for CalMag, N-P-K, or micronutrient supplements (just add a little bit of sea salt to every watering).
- No sugar sources needed in the soil.
- Works for all types of plants—houseplants, exotics, ornamentals, and crops.
Cons
- Limited shelf life; the solution will develop an unpleasant odor after a certain period.

Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L
Used 300ml of the 5L solution.
I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation.
We'll see how they perform 💪💚
Day 32
01/08/24 Thursday
Another feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6, there now taking 300ml every evening.
Day 35
04/08/24 Sunday
END OF WEEK 😁
De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with Plagron products. 300ml each.
Had a issue with leaf invaders this week, I have treated and am checking every 48 hrs so far seems ok and not progressive.
All plants look great, very healthy, one of the Overdose is way behind and due to space maybe culled at flower I'll see how she gets on.

Day 92#
GSC is progressing well, it has slowly started to spread.
Yesterday was the end of its thirteenth week.
It is currently raining, there will be some storms in the next 2-3 days and rain in the next 4-5, so it will cool down a lot and the next 10 days will be quite normal weather, although the nights will not be very great.
Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

11/14 Day 23 from flip. The stretch has been explosive, so much so that I’m beginning to have height concerns. I can probably add another trellis net and lower it down a little bit, but not by much. I just have to hope they level off soon. I’ve needed to turn the lights down every day or two, and even then I’m at almost 800 PAR / 34.6 DLI at the topmost part of the canopy. The majority is closer to about 725 PAR / 31.3 DLI so I’ll leave it there for now.
11/19 Day 28 from flip. Well, the stretch sadly hasn’t stopped. I was able to raise my lights a few extra inches but it’s now maxed out at the top of the tent. The topmost branch is about 12” away from the lights so this really is about as much as I can realistically handle. I realize Ethos was up front about sending this strain into flower earlier than normal due to the way it grows but this is really nuts. We’ve now easily tripled, if not almost quadrupled, in height and lord knows how much there is still to go. Stretch aside, everything else with the grow is bang on. Everything looks healthy, no signs of any disease or pests, every branch has solid airflow around it with nothing being too crowded. I just need the stretch to stop and everything will be great.

So this experiment is going terribly! LOL
This ulitmately taught me a few important things about this sytle of growing.
1.) My Frequency was way to high in the beginning. When i start over next, i will be going for 1 hr -> Spray for 1 min -> Wait 1hr (Repeat)
2.) Never reuse hydroton or CC. It ends up having left over material and nutes in it, which not matter how much you wash just make the soil a land mine of nutrients etc.
3.) Do no use rockwool cubes inside the medium, they hold onto water for too long leading to rot.
4.) Fill the buckets up right until about 2cm short of the nozzles that spay. Otherwise you lose too much water and nutrients to the misting, which spreads your nutes all over the enviroment.
Ultimately, even though this is a living disaster, I have learnt valuable lessons, and who knows, some of them still might produce smokable flower!
