Half time in bloom. I made a video with and one without flash. This is always a bit misleading. I set Josefine a bit higher. I should have done this much earlier as she was already the smallest the whole time. I defoliated a tiny bit. Should be. A few leaves are turning yellow, but I think I watered a little too much, or gave too much fertilizer. However, it doesn't look alarming to me at the moment. They'll catch themselves again. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to the first week of April.

So my struggles are finally paying off my girls went into flower!!! Northern lights- did some low stress training to bring main cola down away from light. Added some vinegar in bowls and shot glasses to grow tent to control these flying knats(which bite). Pineapple auto- she's in flower I'm just concerned with all the lower leaf issue's that it's going to affect buds. I've over watered this plant which started the leaf issue's at like 3 weeks. At week 4 I trimmed all the fan leaves off which put it in stress almost haulting all growth for a week. Oh and the knats! I will never use walmart soil again for my grows or house plants. The neem oil has really knocked alot of them out. So the leaf burn and star leaves began at week 5 and it was the only feeding i gave my plants with cal mag and within 2 days the throwing star leaves and burning began.. not sure if it was the cal mag or the knats being so bad at that time. But thru all of it this plant has been a fighter!! You can see in pics the new growth and bud sights are healthy so I hope she fights all the way to the end! I would like to thank Growdiaires and it's community for the opportunity to help and share with others. I appreciate all help, views, likes, comments and support. We all share a common interest and knowledge is power! Thanks again till next week.

Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 26 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17608.3, Wow what a week! Drying is always pretty simple and been checking daily. Buds are drying nicely and terps are smelling pretty dank!! Most of the week has been in the veg tent with tissue culture! Mixed another batch of establishment media and took proper explant cuttings. Also super-cropped the mothers to even out the canopy. Ahh yea! Getting hyped for trim day next week! Next week will also be the last week for this grow log, but am already planning out the next cycle. Anyways! Onwards to next week!

The growth media in the glass jars have solidified nicely! --- The media in the bottles also look great! Found only one that did not gel properly. --- Hmm. The sterile water bottles are not looking sterile. Unlike the first batch (using distilled water), each RO bottle had tiny white particles floating in the water. --- I think this was due to the water source. The RO water used was from the plant reservoir. For the next sterilization, will try using water straight from the tap. Will discard the entire batch and try again later. - [17:34]: Anyways! Time to cut and sterilize another batch of explant cuttings. --- Using the similar protocols as last time, but with a few changes. --- Instead of distilled, using reverse-osmosis (RO) water. --- Also simplifying the workflow and will not be using the sterile water. --- Only taking cuttings from one cultivar. --- Today, attempting to preserve Heady OG BX1 #1 --- Unlike the last attempt, going to be cutting apical nodes and will leave all leaf growth on. --- Last attempt was more for monsteras and not cannabis. - [17:35]: Made sure the lung room's oscillating fan was OFF during the entire process. --- Put on a fresh pair of nitrile gloves. --- Okay!

Finally time to start the tissue culture transplant! --- Let's go Ensign! --- Sprayed my gloved hands with 70% isopropyl alcohol (also put on a pair of cloth arm sleeves), --- Placed my hands through the arm holes and into the still air box to begin the process. --- Started by laying out my initial workspace: ------ » Far Left Quadrant » Jar of Sterile Establishment Media ------ » Far Center » Bottle of Sterile Establishment Media ------ » Far Right Quadrant » Glass-Bead Sterilizer ------ » Mid Center » Bleach Jar with Explant Cuttings [Main Workspace] ------ » Near Left Quadrant » Empty [Trash Area] ------ » Near Right Quadrant » Bag of Sterile Tools & Roll of Plastic Wrap --- Opened the bag of tools and placed the forceps and scissors into the pre-heated glass-bead sterilizer. --- Set the bag in the trash area (near left quadrant). --- Loosened the lids of both containers of sterile media but did not remove the lids. The lids were resting on top and could easily be lifted. --- Also took lid off of the bleach jar and gently set it on the table. --- Took the jar of sterile media and set it in the center of my workspace (to the right of the bleach jar). --- Using my left hand, took a set of scissors from the glass-bead sterilizer and gently cut the bottom of the first cutting. --- Once the bottom cut was made, placed the scissors back into the glass-bead sterilizer. --- Using my left hand, lifted the lid off of the jar of sterile media and inserted the trimmed end of the cutting straight into the growth media (using my right hand). --- Covered the jar with the lid and placed the forceps back into the glass-bead sterilizer. --- Tighten the lid of the jar and set it aside. ------ [ » REPEATED THE ABOVE PROCESS FOR THE BOTTLE OF GROWTH MEDIA « ] --- Once the last cutting was transferred from the bleach jar into the sterile media, --- Turned the glass-bead sterilizer OFF. --- Cleaned up my workplace and placed the scrap stem tips and bleach jar out of the way (near left quadrant). - [19:28]: Wrapped the lid of each explant container with plastic wrap before setting it in the center of the workspace. --- Explant transplant completed! - [19:59]: Using a label printer (Brother DT410), made a set of labels for each container: ------ Heady OG BX1 #1 | 04.24.25 | Photo | Reg ------ Formula: v0001 | ExBatch: 0002 | Lot: 01 | Pod: 01 ------ Establishment Media | Sealed On: 10/18/25 --- Opened the still air box. --- Then one container at a time, took an explant out and wrapped the lid with a label. --- Set the labeled containers onto the propagation tray (in the 3x3 veg tent). - [20:07]: Done! ------ The explants are around 37 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 2.40 mol/m²/d under an 18/6 light cycle. --- Will check daily for contamination. --- Ca-Caw!!

Okay so I’ve been slacking a bit on the grow-diaries, only because I’ve had a lot going on and also because I don’t feel obligated to do so because this isn’t a sponsored grow. It’s been nice to have a little break but I think I’m ready to come back at it full force again. These girls are living their best lives, they are all the same age and they are all thriving. Floraflex nutrients, as well as some Silica, Regina-root, and a trichome enhancer called “Grease”!! Seems like the real deal. Watering every other day and let me tell you these girls are very thirsty. Defol as needed! My new HLG Blackbird lamp fixture is out of this world. My 3 autos that you can also find in my profile absolutely blew up. I typically fit 4 autos in my 3x3 but now it’s essentially one Purple punch from Fastbuds and I had to cram 2 more inside basically because they are going crazy. Unfortunately I had to move them from under the blackbird and put them under a HLG350R and they are still going crazy. Basically what I’m saying is HLG Lamps=Crazy growth and amazing lamps!! HLG has a lifetime customer! That’s it for now but check in next week to see the progress! Thanks for tuning in. Until next time and as always, Stay Smokey my Friends!!! 💨💨💨 Instagram: Virginia_nugz_540 Sponsors: Horticulture Lighting Group HLG-Blackbird HLG-600RSpec HLG-350R Diablo (X2) Discount code: Virginia_Nugz Petra Tools LTPRO 2.0 Backpack Sprayer Trimbag Standard Trimbag Discount Code: Virginia_nugz Fastbuds Fastbuds Genetics Goat and Monkey Hydrokulture Store 4x4 Gorilla Tent

This week I did a single topping at the 5th node. Along with this I applied low stress training and tucking to expose the new growth. The leaves seem a little dry on this one, think it’s because I needed a little better air movement In that area, rotated fans and adjusted Rh.

Week 10: 20/4 light schedule, 150 mp water per plant 2x, no fertilization anymore. Day 65: Next week Tueasday/beggining week 11/ we need to harvest because they will come from the council to check the house😂 Well, the previous one finished in 69 days, but I think they won't be properly ready by next week. I tried it and made me high anyways. I would give at least 2 weeks more to be done. Tomorrow I will check the trichomes with magnifying glass. They are beautiful stinky girls. Flowers are getting thicker and pistils are getting brownish. Day 66: I checked the trichomes with magnifying glass and it will be ready by next Tuesday. 7 days left with this day. They are beautiful just check in the video (Day 66). Day 67: It is crazy the last 3 days was so hot here in London. Today was 38 degrees!!!!!! Poor plants even with ventilation it goes up to 30-31 degrees. Well, it is alright because direct ventilation goes on so they won't be cooked. 😓😛 Day 70: It is the last day when they receive water and they just get once and half of the daily intake. 2 days before harvest I will not water them. Harvest day is on Tuesday 30th of July when they are 72 days old. I have checked the trichomes all good they are matured nicely cloudy so now it is very strong. They are very stinky girls 😋 Day 71: No more water for them..... Tomorrow is harvest day!!!!!😋

Planted them into 20L hydroponic pots. Diy hydroponic system. Very easy to do and save money. Topped them so the lower branches can keep up with higeher ones. Defoliated lower ones. They didnt get any light. Planning to keep them for two weeks in this water. Advanced nutrients recommend one week but lets see.

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we had high temperatures of 88°F, clear skies, and lots of sunshine. I watered 2-2.5 gallons per pot, from the water hose. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 90 with lots of sunshine. I gave them 2.5 gallons of water per pot. Day 3 we had lots of sunshine and a high temperature of 91°F. I watered these about 2-2.5 gallons twice today. Day 4 we had high temperature of 86°F. I watered about 2.5 gallons per pot. Day 5 we had mostly sunny skies with a high temperature of 88°F. I watered about 2.5 gallons from the water hose. I added 50ml of Ferrous Sulfate top dressed to each pot. I added 50 ml of blood meal top dressed around the pot. Day 6 we had a high temperature of 88°F with mostly sunny skies. I watered 2-2.5 gallons once today. Day 7 we had high temperature of 89 with mostly sunny skies. I watered 2-2.5 gallons per pot. This week was a success. These girls got a boost of nitrogen they needed. I was really focusing on the lemons and cheesecake, and noticed their hunger late. I'll be adding more nitrogen next week.
