4/6/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 1- Last week in VEG, They are all looking amazing and no worry about stretch when I flip Next Saturday they are indica and I have more than 50% of distance from the top of the plant to the lights with a little more I can raise the lights if necessary. So going to really just enjoy this last week of VEG, and get my Cloning equipment ready. I will be taking 2 cuts for each this is also a PHENO hunt for HWG and he not only has the prize for the winner but he also has an additional bounty on a cut of the winner. I did have to take some from around the edges to keep them from touching. 4/7/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 2- Didn't do anything today but watch them grow.. They will be getting a really good flip trim and clean up for clone material on Friday/ Saturday. 4/8/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 3- Couldn't even get a picture of the #1 at first too much Foliage throughout.. So I had to clean that up and make sure they all still have some separation before flip. 4/9/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 4- Huston we almost had an issue.. I looked at my Res and she was in desperate need of 10 gallons to get her through until next water change on Saturday. So I added 10 gallons and the Nutes. I added 10 Gallons of Water I added the following Nutes: CalMag= 1.00Mil/Gal= 10Mil FloraMicro = 5.4Mil/Gal= 54Mil FloraGro= 4.2Mil/Gal= 42Mil FLoraBloom= 4.6Mil/Gal= 46Mil 4/10/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 5- Had to giver them a huge clean up today I couldn't even see the numbers in the first pic. I am also worried that #1 and #3 really, really are getting huge over the last few days.. starting to think I should have flipped them this past Saturday.. The interesting things is even though this is an Indica Strain, I might have to super crop just to keep them off the lights. The joys and sorrows of RDWC and timing. 4/11/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 6- Even though Flipping in Two days almost wish I would have gone at Week 7. I am really worried about #3, #1 and #2 are huge and when I put them in flower they are going to stretch out 4/12/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 7- Day of Work.. Lots of Work.. I gave all three a Cloning/Flower cleaning.. all three got cleaned up top Inside and bottom, I took 2 cuts of each to see which one come out on top then I will kill off the other cuts once I have a winner in flower. I clean up this thoroughly before I flip because it reduces the work load on the next major clean up I do on Week 4 of Flower.and they are so much taller that it is going to be a pain in the ass to maintain canopy space for #3, we will see how it goes and adjust as necessary..

Transplanted into 6.5L pots for now until I figure out where to put them in the garden. I did a top layer of more Sprout Island Blend and then my own homemade compost the rest of the container. I figure keep it nice and mild on nutrition at first and then they can reach down for more if they need it. The compost has a lot of worm activity. I also put them down a couple inches because they were so leggy to give them more support. I have them in a wire dog kennel with deer netting around the outside to keep critters from munching. They're much happier with actual sun and are taking in the fresh air well🌞 2 out of the 3 have red stems so maybe an indica hybrid?👀

Day 65, 17th of November 2020: Welcome back at the beggining of the 3rd week of flowering. They seem to be stopped streching and now concentrating on buds. All of them are gorgeous..... The 2 Zamnesia genetics Gelato and Kalini Asia are pretty and buds are forming nicely. Kalini Asia might strech a bit more but not long. The Sweet Seed ones are really nice and I am so happy because Red Hot Cookies is already getting red.... pistils and around the leaves.. I hope the same happens to the Red Mandarine and Tropicanna Poison also. They are so gorgeous. They calmed down I don't expect more strech. Fertilization still the same every 2nd day with the ratio and mix above. Some lollipopping (Defoliation) is also done. I removed all the LST the plant remains in the same shape from now. The lamp is on 11.30 min and off 12.30 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -30 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.30 pm.

Wk10 11/10/21: Day 64. 💧I have no idea what I should do. Should I chop it now, and use it to compare my next grow to, or wait another week and then chop? I think I'll let the pot dry out one more time, and then cut it down. Might as well have a baseline to go by. With plenty of cloudy trichomes, it's likely a good time to come down anyhow. Everyday I see more and more pistils dying back, but also a bunch of new hairs being pushed out, so it's confusing. I have a feeling that it's going to start foxtailing if I let it go much longer. Right now, buds are still very tight. If I do anything else before harvest, it will be a wet trim of most leaves. 11/11/21: Day 65. Pot is a bit lighter today, but not enough for me to say it's time. I've never been one to harvest just before the lights come on, and just chop it down whenever I felt like it, and had the time. I'm not sure if I will wait until early morning, or just go with what I've always done. I really don't feel like waking up at 4:30 and making a bunch of noise. I should really change my lighting schedule to make that easier, but I would be very unhappy if I couldn't check on, and take care of my plants during the morning and throughout the early afternoon. My thoughts on the plant came true. I opened the tent today, and saw some foxtails forming. Right now it's alright, as it's just a bit more bud to smoke, but if I left it to go for the entire rest of the week, it would definitely look like it had some lumps. So, that means it's time to wet trim, then chop down and hang it. Thankfully I have a small empty tent that I can use for drying. I have a fan in there still, so the air will be moving. Cannot wait to give this a test. 11/12/21: Day 66. 🌲Pot is definitely light enough to harvest today. As much as I'd like this to be my first dark harvest (chop 1 hour before light, or 5 hours after dark), I'll just stick with my usual plan and chop it down later, once I've taken care of a few other small things. I can see even more foxtails forming, and the old ones are now very prominent. I know there are several reasons for that to happen, with one being genetically predispositioned to growing them, but this is not likely the case. They are likely caused by my movent of the plant mich closer to the light, technically just a smidge too close. Oh well, I don't mind a few buds messed up, just as long as it's not the entire plant. Plant is now hanging inside the upstairs tent with a fan for air circulation. I will monitor it's weight loss every two days, and then jar and cure some remaining buds for approximately 4 weeks in my auto cure. It may not last that long, but I'm going to try. I will do my best to keep the main cola separate and intact for a future session. Chop: 88.1g or 3.11oz 11/14/21: Day 68. 35.5g or 1.14 oz 11/15/21: Day 68. Total dry: 20.7g. Bud is actually quite crumbly, so I'm sure once its brought back up to the 64% the Integra pack provides, it will have a better weight. Some smaller buds were smoked for testing, while a good portion is in the small auto cure, where it shall hopefully remain for the next 4 weeks. Updates will be provided once buds are cured for a true smoke report. End Diary As you can see, the plant did not finish on a desired colour. I do not mean a dark purple, but a high level of yellowing in the leaves. It started early in the flowering process, and continued to get worse. The plant however, persevered and finished strong. Even though the plant did not finish up looking like an ideal specimen, it allowed me to learn a lot about the genetics, and how to work with the dry amendments with this strain. Next round will be mich better, I guarantee. Don't believe me! Just watch! We will see it together.

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis Jour84 arrosage avec 2 litres d'eau ph6.3 Jour86 arrosage avec 2. 5litres d'eau ph6.3 Jour89 arrosage avec 2 litres d'eau ph6.3 LE MEILLEUR MOMENT POUR RINCER SON CANNABIS Le rinçage commence en général deux semaines avant la récolte. Si le plant a une période de floraison de huit semaines, le rinçage doit commencer six semaines après le début de la période de floraison. Il est préférable de regarder de près les trichomes sur le plant pour déterminer quand votre cannabis est prêt à être récolter. Si les petits trichomes commencent juste à passer d’une couleur transparente à une teinte laiteuse et blanche, c’est une bonne indication que les plants peuvent commencer à être rincés. Il faut s’arranger pour que la majorité des trichomes aient changé vers la couleur désirée pour la récolte après deux semaines – ça devient plus facile à faire avec l’expérience, alors accrochez-vous ! Le rinçage peut également être un bon moyen de remettre à zéro la terre quand un plant est toujours en phase de croissance végétative. Parfois, un cultivateur suralimente par accident son cannabis, ce qui provoque un changement de couleur et un flétrissement du bout des feuilles. Ceci est appelé une « brûlure par nutriments ». Rincer la terre peut éliminer les nutriments excédentaires, ce qui aide à résoudre le problème. Cependant, c’est une mesure drastique à ce stade de la culture, alors assurez-vous que le problème soit bien une brûlure par nutriments et non quelque chose d’autre. Le rinçage ne concerne pas que le moment de la récolte. Cette technique peut aussi être mise en place durant la phase de croissance afin de débarrasser le sol des nutriments. Bien évidemment, les nutriments permettent à votre plante de rester en bonne santé et vous assurent des rendements maximaux, mais une trop grande quantité peut causer une accumulation et un état statique durant lequel la plante ne peut plus y accéder. Le blocage des nutriments peut être causé par une accumulation saline ou des niveaux de pH incorrects. Ces deux causes peuvent être résolues par un rinçage de votre plante à l’eau claire. Les fluides viendront pousser les nutriments en dehors du substrat et le débarrasseront de l’accumulation, permettant ainsi aux racines de pouvoir accéder à nouveau aux nutriments. EMPÊCHER LE BLOCAGE D'ABSORPTION DES NUTRIMENTS AVANT QU’IL NE POSE PROBLÈME Au mieux, le blocage des nutriments peut être un problème, au pire, il peut être un vrai désastre. Comme le dit l’adage, il vaut mieux prévenir que guérir. Il vaut mieux prendre de l’avant pour empêcher le blocage des nutriments plutôt que de s’y atteler lorsque c’est trop tard. Empêcher le blocage des nutriments peut se faire par le biais d’un rinçage de routine. En rinçant vos plantes une fois avant la floraison et une fois au milieu de cette dernière, vous minimiserez l’accumulation de nutriments. LES ENZYMES À LA RESCOUSSE Après le rinçage pour contrer l’accumulation ou le blocage des nutriments, vous remarquerez peut-être que vos plantes ont une apparence vert foncé, c’est le signe d’un excès de nutriments. Dans ce cas, certains cultivateurs choisissent d’ajouter une formule riche en enzymes à leur substrat. Au cas où vous auriez oublié vos cours de biologie, les enzymes sont des protéines qui catalysent les réactions. Elles aident à rincer le substrat en décomposant l’amidon, les glucides et les nutriments. Il existe sur le marché toute une variété de produits qui contiennent des formules d’enzymes très efficaces. Si l’eau ne suffit pas à vos plantes, ces petites protéines ne feront qu’une bouchée de l’accumulation de nutriments ! COMMENT BIEN RINCER SON CANNABIS Rincer votre plant de cannabis est un processus simple. À chaque fois que vous apporteriez normalement des nutriments, vous rincez à la place. De l’eau du robinet non traitée est tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour rincer, assurez-vous juste que son pH est sans danger pour le cannabis. La plupart de l’eau de puits a un pH sain et ne nécessite pas de traitement, mais s’il est nécessaire de traiter l’eau de rinçage pour avoir un pH adapté, faites-le. Les ajustements du pH seront donc la seule chose à considérer. Inonder la terre avec autant d’eau fraîche qu’elle puisse contenir. Laissez l’eau durant quelques minutes pour qu’elle puisse absorber les nutriments, puis inondez la terre encore pour rincer les nutriments loin du plant. Si vous cultivez en intérieur dans des pots, notez la couleur de l’eau qui s’échappe du fond des pots. Elle sera tâchée et aura une couleur sale. C’est à cette étape qu’un appareil de mesure des TDS (Total des Solides Dissous) est utile. Si vous récupérez et mesurez le TDS de l’eau « évacuée », elle devrait avoir un taux de 1300ppm, ce qui est assez élevé. Il est important de rincer le plant jusqu’à ce que total baisse à un niveau de 50ppm, ou du moins qu’il s’approche du TDS de l’eau fraîche que vous utilisez pour rincer le plant. La couleur de l’eau d’évacuation va s’éclaircir et apparaîtra plus propre. Vous devez tirer autant que possible de minéraux dissous du plant. Comment et Quand Rincer les Plants de Cannabis Rincer les plants de cannabis avant la récolte peut faire la différence entre les meilleurs têtes ou la plus rude pour la gorge. Cette petite tâche est simple et facile à faire. Ajoutez juste de l’eau ! Attention car le moment du rinçage joue un rôle critique. Le b.a.-ba du rinçage de ses plants de cannabis. Sommaire: 1. Qu’est-ce que le rinçage ? 2. Le meilleur moment pour rincer son cannabis 3. Empêcher le blocage d'absorption des nutriments avant qu’il ne pose problème 4. Les enzymes à la rescousse 5. Comment bien rincer son cannabis 6. Comment rincer ses plantes en hydroponie 7. Les résultats du rinçage de son cannabis 8. Quand éviter de rincer son cannabis Vous avez enfin fini vos cultures et vous vous retrouvez avec un magnifique plant couvert de super têtes, maintenant sèches, vous avez fait le curing et vous êtes prêt à fumer – et pourtant quelque chose ne va pas. La weed semble ne pas vouloir se consumer et quand vous tirez une bouffée, c’est comme si on vous avait donné un coup de poing dans les poumons et vous toussez en craignant pour votre vie ! Le goût est rude et décevant. Si c’est une situation que vous avez vécue, il y a des chances pour que vos plants n’aient pas été rincés correctement avant la récolte. Cette fumée bien loin d’être agréable est provoquée par la présence dans le plant des nutriments et minéraux utilisés lors de la culture, ce qui altère la façon dont le plant se consume. Rincer le plant élimine ces nutriments restants, ce qui améliore la qualité des sensations. Heureusement, le rinçage des plants de cannabis se fait facilement et sans effort, et cela vous permet de produire des têtes douces et délicieuses en un rien de temps. ARTICLE LIÉ Comment Utiliser les Nutriments pour Cannabis QU’EST-CE QUE LE RINÇAGE ? L’acte de rincer un plant implique d’utiliser de l’eau pour éliminer tout nutriment présent dans la terre. Une grande quantité d’eau est passée à travers la terre et drainée sur une base régulière. Tous les minéraux et nutriments présents dans la terre sont rincés avec le temps avec l’eau, ce qui laisse une terre propre. Mais pourquoi vouloir éliminer tous les minéraux de la terre ? N’est-ce pas mauvais pour la récolte ? En fait, cela aide à la récolte de manière significative. Quand les nutriments sont éliminés de la terre, ceci force le plant de cannabis à utiliser tous les nutriments toujours présents dans le plant. C’est comme pour le corps humain. Quand on consomme beaucoup d’aliments, ce que nous n’utilisons pas est transformé en graisses. Dans les situations extrêmes où la nourriture est rare, le corps s’appuie sur cette graisse stockée pour tirer de l’énergie. Comme rincer force le cannabis à utiliser tous les nutriments restants dans le plant, aucun ne devrait rester et altérer les têtes récoltées. Cependant, si vous le faites trop tôt, cela peut nuire à la santé du plant, le moment est donc clé. LE MEILLEUR MOMENT POUR RINCER SON CANNABIS Le rinçage commence en général deux semaines avant la récolte. Si le plant a une période de floraison de huit semaines, le rinçage doit commencer six semaines après le début de la période de floraison.

COMMENT RINCER SES PLANTES EN HYDROPONIE Le rinçage des plantes en hydroponie est bien plus simple que de se débarrasser des nutriments en terre. Les cultivateurs en hydroponie pourront simplement drainer leur système et le remplacer par une eau au pH neutre. Le rinçage des plantes en hydroponie est aussi un processus bien plus court. Une fois que la réserve d’eau aura été modifiée, les plantes en hydro n’auront pas accès aux nutriments externes. Pour cette raison, un rinçage de deux jours suffira. LES RÉSULTATS DU RINÇAGE DE SON CANNABIS Après la récolte des têtes, prenez du temps pour bien faire le curing pour atteindre le potentiel le plus élevé. Un affinage correct par curing permet de réduire encore plus le côté rude des têtes, en éliminant des choses comme un excès de chlorophylle. Vous serez étonné de voir la différence que ce petite effort peut avoir sur votre produit. Tout votre travail se sentira dans la première bouffée de cette weed douce comme de la soie, qui caresse la gorge comme du miel. Le plus doux de la nature. Vous pouvez donc améliorer la qualité de votre cannabis en ajoutant juste de l’eau ! QUAND ÉVITER DE RINCER SES PLANTES Le seul moment où nous recommandons d’éviter le rinçage de son cannabis est lorsque l’on travaille avec une terre biologique amendée ou un super soil. Ces substrats ont été développés avec précaution afin d’héberger des micro-organismes bienfaisants tels que des bactéries ou des champignons. Cette délicate biodiversité pourrait être éliminée et endommagée par le rinçage. Une fois de plus, l’absence de rinçage ne devrait pas poser de soucis, car aucun nutriment externe ou synthétique n’aura été ajouté au substrat. À la place, les plantes comptent sur les micro-organismes pour décomposer la matière organique et la livrer aux racines. May the force be with you 💪

7/6 Plants looked great thos morning. I WATERED A GALLON to the 50 and split one between the two tens. Top of the bags are still moist amd they still have some heft. I'm hoping this will at least carry me 48hrs. These are BIG plants and the wind goes right through those bags and dries them out. I'd rather have that though than worry about overwatering. I noticed some minor deficiencies on a couple plants so it's time to start the nutes. Calcium I'd guess. Just a beginning stage but it's time. Next feeding they'll get some food too. I'll still monitor during the day to make sure they ront dry out. It's amazing how fast they come back after they dry out but it stresses them. EDIT: I WENT OVER AROUND 2OM AND IT WAS OVERCAST AND 83°. ALL THE PLANTS LOOKED GREAT AND ALL OF THEM WERE STILL SLIGHTLY NOIST EXCEPT THE 10TH PLANET. THEY ALL HAD SOME HEFT TO THEM TOO. THE SUN IS OUT BRIGHTER NOW BUT IT MAY RAIN TONIGHT AND CONSIDERING HOW GOOD THE PLANTS LOOKED I THINK IVE FOUND MY CORRECT WATERING RATIO. IM NOT GOIMG TO 9VET WATER IN THESE GROW BAGS WITH ALL THIS WIND. I NOTICED SOME FOUR LINED PLANT BUG MARKS ON ONE OF THE LITTLE PLANTS AND REMOVED A FEW LEAVES FROM THAT THIRSTY 10TH PLANET THAT COULD BE SEPTORIA. IM GOING TO TREAT IT BUT I HAVENT DECIDED WITH WHAT YET. I MEAN I NEED TO MAKE SURE ITS NOT JUST PESTS OR WATER SPLASHES FIRST TOO. I'VE BEEN PRETTY SANITARY THIS YEAR. IF I HAD A PLANT THAT DIDNT RESPOND TO TREATMENT AND IT WAS INDEED LEAF SEPTORIA I THINK ID RATHER SACRIFICE THE PLANT THAN RISK SPREADING IT. IM PROBABLY JUMPING THE GUN BUT I NEED TO BE READY IN CASE THAT'S THE CASE. IF NOT FOR LOCAL LAWS I WOULD THE PLANT ISOLATED. BUT IM TALKING I PULLED MAYBE FOUR LEAVES OUT OF THE LEAFIEST BUNCH AND INSPECTED EVERYTHING. 7/7 We got thunder storms last in the afternoon and last night. For at least 45 mins it rained harder than I've EVER seen it. Pure sheet rain. It turned over to heavy rain before moving out. The plan was to water everything this morning and start feeding. As I said in the video the soul was still moist amd the bags still had some heft. Not like I just watered them though. I stopped by a local dispo on my way home and talked with the best grower I personally know (thanks Junior) and his advice was the same as what I was planning. I planned on going around noon to check them. He said I could probably wait until like six and then when I do water give them like a 1 1/2 gallons to make up for that monsoon we had earlier. I showed him the video and explained how I have been watering. My intuition feels good about this. I may go check on them earlier but I don't think it's necessary. As usual I'll update as I go. EDIT: AS SUGGESTED (WELL I SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE) I WENT OVER TO FIND ALL NY PLANTS LOOKING GORGEOUS EXCEPT THE 10TH PLANET REVEG THAT WAS A "LITTLE" SAGGY. I LIFTED THEM AND FELT THE SOIL IN THE BAGS. I DECIDED ON WATERING AS PLANNED EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT HAVE MADE IT UNTIL NORNING. THIS WAS MY WATERING DAY ANYWAY. HOWEVER I ONLY WATERED 1 GAL PER 20 1.5 FOR 30 AND .5 FOR 10. I THINK THAT WILL WORK OUT GREAT WITH THE UPCOMING COOLER TEMPS. IT WAS SO HOT. DIDNT HAVE TIME BUT SHIT IS LOOKING GOOD.

Week 7 Day 47 Ladys bounced all back and enjoying the light now. Also the first fadeing started at Orange Sherbet and Purple Punch, and alle other Ladys but just the leafes at the bottom. That's a good sign for me cause the soil was a bit to hot but that was not a big problem. They should get me some got dense buds again 🤤. Lemon Kix smelling amazing fruity followed by Orange Sherbet with a nice Cream Hint again. 3 more Weeks and the first lady's should be rdy for harvest 😁 Updates coming

10/21/2025 Week 3 of veg. We are looking great for Lemon Cherry Cookies. She's 8" tall. Not quite the 12 inches I was hoping for at this age. But she is strong. Great stem, or should I say stalk or trunk? It's hardening off now and getting big. She's not taking in a ton of water. I'll top her up this afternoon after lights out. Papaya Cookies looks like she's about to tip over from the affected area on her stem. I think the infection is gone now. It's just a matter of healing. I'll continue using crop defender 3 until she's totally healed and no longer cannibalizing herself. But I don't know how I'm going to prop her up. As it is definitely needed. Or well from what I can see, she needs it. See picture. Anyway, this week, I'm going to try to be a bit more organized. You know, organize the pics so you see the same plant over and over. So you can see the progress without having to flip through pics. Also, I'll try to keep my thoughts in check. Environment this week. So it's about the same as last week. 63% humidity and 75° for temp. The VPD should stay around that 1.10 kPa. The difference is I'm increasing the nutrients a little bit and officially adding silica blast. I'm also trying to increase the CO2 so I can increase the light intensity. The light distance is also going to change. I may lift it up and crank the power so I have a tent flooded with light. I'm gonna want a DLI of like 30 mol. Right now it's around 20. Should be higher than that. Who knows, maybe I'll start today at 25 mol, and bring it up slowly to 30 by the end of the week. If I'm not mistaken, I should be around 40 when flowering hits. 45 to 50 if I can get the CO2 to work. The light is 300 watts in a 3x3 tent. So I should t have a problem with intensity. I'd also like to note that the hangers the light came with take away about 8 inches of space. I'll be fixing that as soon as I run out of space. I also have the CO2 bag sitting just above the light. The bag is pretty big, so it might take up more space than I can handle. I'll figure it out though. For the light, I think I'll add independent clips to each corner. So I can lift it up high enough for more growth. Anyway, that's my pre lights out briefing. I'll be back with the days numbers. Although, the numbers should be spot on. And they aren't. I'll be back with more stable numbers later on today. They really are mostly stable I promise. PPFD: 650 DLI: 42.5 mol (kinda high, but I'm seeing no light issues.) Temp: 73.3° RH: 62.9% VPD: 1.04 kPa 10/22/2025 I'd like to start today with a thanks to all that have been answering my recent questions. If you are one of those and you're reading this, again thank you all for your fountain of information. I'd like to explain what I believe happened. The environment was and still is perfect. The humidifier is barely running. There's also heat in the tent, so there's no issue with things drying out as they should. While I 100% believe there was a moisture issue, I don't believe it was from the environment. It's super perfect thanks to the efficiency of the AI controller I have. The roots look perfect as well. Nice and white. So no root rot. Also, for those of you who don't know I have a second plant in the tent and it's doing wonderfully. It's a Lemon Cherry Cookies by FastBuds. Great branching, awesome color, no issues whatsoever. She was fed and treated exactly the same as the dying Papaya Cookies. What I think happened is the splash from the top feeder was getting onto that specific area of the stem. You can tell when you touch it and all that comes off is salt. Not powdery mildew, but salt. Lots of it. SO, it was definitely from moisture, but not where everyone thought. But all your answers helped me to know what to look out for next time. Personally I don't think I need to go back to soil. As this is my first hydro grow and I have 1 plant that is perfect and one that is still growing pretty well, but is definitely having feeding troubles now. I do like the idea of tying a string to the top of the tent and holding her up. I might do that instead of the stake. The EC and PPM are on point. So it's not that. It has to be the splash of the top feeder. Which I fixed by adding more clay pebbles to help block the splash. So far it's working wonders. One last thing and I think it's a shot in the dark, but I have "The Other One" which is also a Papaya Cookies. If you're reading this you already know. But I haven't mentioned it. That one has what looks like the exact same problem. It was no where near the salts, humidifier or anything wet except for the tray with the water in the bottom. She has great roots for still in a seedling tray. But also has the same squeeze on her stem. Doesn't anyone find that odd? Let me know in a dm or the comments. I'm keeping her alive to see what happens. With that. I mean, she has no oxygen getting to the roots, so she will die eventually. But til then, I'll use her as a reference for under feeding and overfeeding. As I've done both so far. And she's not dead! But it definitely is doing the same thing. I took a picture just now. I'll post it for everyone to see. This makes me think that the specific type of fungus is dangerous to this specific strain. Has to be something like that. I'm gonna contact FastBuds for some insight. Again, thank you all for the help. Oh, the dying Papaya Cookies isn't dying anymore. She looks healthy except for the already damaged parts of the leaves. But nothing is spreading anymore. So I killed the fungus and the plant seems to be on the mend. I'll keep it and see what happens. If anything it's for... SCIENCE! Back to our regularly scheduled program. So today is a great day for Lemon Cherry Cookies. I'm not training her yet, I'm gonna wait for the scrog net I think. However, I really do want to train her down a bit. Maybe I'll do that today. Just a bit. I can't express how healthy she is. Never have I ever. And this is my first time in DWC. I think I like it to be honest. It's easier than guessing what's happening in the soil. I bought some training clips for her. I'm not really sure how I would attach tie downs to this particular bucket system. The lids kinda seal themselves to the bucket... In a way. So there's no space to put a clip or hook. So training clips it is! I really don't like them, but I've only had experience with cheap small ones. Maybe these larger ones will do better. They're the BudClips brand. So good I guess? I haven't really seen anything else that I recognize. So I just hung up the Papaya Cookies with some plant tie. I also took the largest 2 leaves on top. It opened up so much space and took some weight off. I know when a plant is recovering, clipping leaves is a no no, but as it stands ,she might die anyway, so why not give the bud sites a chance. Temp: 73.1° RH: 61.2% VPD: 1.08 kPa Quick update: I increased the light intensity to 450 PPFD. It was a bit too low for this stage. I think next week I can put it up to a 35 DLI. We'll see. 10/23/2025 This was a floating day for the pH. It was sitting pretty at 6.18 for the whole day and night. When dark time is over, I'll pH them back down to 5.8. A lot of growth from Lemon Cherry Cookies. Not much upward, but who cares, she's growing outward. All I need to do is trim some leaves and tuck some others. Papaya Cookies looks like she is mostly recovered from her infection. The leaves look great, I left 2 semi damaged ones on just in case. So I'll see what's happening with already damaged leaves and leave the rest alone for the most part. She's been tied up to the light which is maxed out in height. So she won't tip over. We'll see how she does in the coming weeks. Both ladies are given the same mix of nutrients. And Lemon Cherry Cookies is looking fantastic. Papaya Cookies looks pretty good herself. I think next week, we'll bump the nutes up another 1/4 teaspoon. So that would be 1.5 teaspoons. 10/24/2025 It's still lights out for the next 45 minutes, so I'll just update quick and then a quick update later. Right now, Papaya Cookies is stretching. Not fast, but still fast enough where I need to tighten the plant tie so there's less slack. Lemon Cherry Cookies is completely perfect. I'll be upping the nutrients for sure next week. I snipped some leaves off before lights out, so technically yesterday. Just a few. A couple big ones that were pointing in. And a couple others. I also got my budclips training things. I hope the branches aren't too stiff. I could definitely have worked a couple days ago, but these things grow really fast. The only problem I'm having is tie downs. I can't use them. Not with DWC. Atnleast not with this system. It's completely sealed. As in no gaps from the lid to the bucket. Anyway, that's all for today. Our ladies are alive and kicking. Temp: 73.6° average daily (includes lights out) RH: 61% VPD: 1.10 kPa Quick update: so it's after lights out and still the 24th. But I had to share. I just did the absolute best training I have ever done. Those BudClips. So easy! Well, Lemon Cherry Cookies was a bit difficult because she was starting to really stiffen up. But I got all of it on the long run. Papaya Cookies was super easy and came out perfect. At least perfect for my experience. Lol. Best I've ever done. Too bad she isn't going to do much because of the thin stem. 10/25/2025 Good things today, good things. Let's see, real quick, both ladies got a small haircut today. Just freeing up a little space. Cutting the inward facing leaves and ones that were pointing straight down. Not a ton. Honestly, Lemon Cherry Cookies doesn't look like she had much cut, but it was enough. Papaya Cookies looks much more open, but that's because her leaves are smaller for now. She's about a week or so behind. So training turned out to be perfect. They were both completely recovered in less than 12 hours. Now for the awesome news! Lemon Cherry Cookies has white pistils! Preflower baby! We might actually have an 8 week plant on our hands here. Papaya Cookies seems to have them too, but not as prominent. I'm guessing she will follow in flower within the next few days. Maybe by the end of the week. Definitely time to up the nutrient dose. That being said, I believe after training, we have a couple 10" plants to start the preflower transition. I'd be very happy with a couple 30" plants. "The Other One" I dunno man, this plant is going to die someday. Imagine it pulls through and flowers. One big bud. Like the size of a regular cola. Pfft. Definitely not gonna happen, but we shall see. Temp: 73.2° RH: 60.8% VPD: 1.10 kPa Quick pic update. If you look at the pic of Papaya Cookies stem, you can see the bottom is getting thicker as the plant heals. I think she's gonna make it. I almost forgot a thing. So in my fungal infection question, someone mentioned that my humidifier was too close. Even though it doesn't run much, I decided to take the advice and stuck on the hose it came with and hung it about 2 ft above the canopy. From what I can tell, it's working better. So thanks for the advice! It barely ran before, but what it would do sometimes is blast fog for like 5 minutes to get the humidity back up. It's usually when I set the system to tent work. (It's a 15 minute timer where the heater and humidifier turn off and the light turns down to 1.) While I'm in there, obviously the temp and humidity drop. That could have been a contributing factor. Cuz when the tent turns back on, the heater blasts for a good 5 minutes with the humidifier dropping 8 levels of fog right on the stem. Now it drops on the leaves. I think we have a false alarm with Lemon Cherry Cookies. I don't think she's in preflower, but Papaya Cookies sure is. Definitely. I'll get some pistil pics tomorrow. 10/26/2025 Not much today. I'll be checking pH after lights on. I took off this tiny pathetic lowest branch off of Papaya Cookies. From what I can see, she didn't mind in the slightest. Honestly it popped off really easily. I didn't even use shears. Just a little push down and pop she goes. I hope the rest of the branches aren't like that. They'll be snapping from the weight of the buds. Lol. I also took 3 leaves off. The damaged ones from the infection. And one random huge leaf sticking out of the bottom. Lemon Cherry Cookies looks great! She could use a little more of a haircut. But I'll wait a few days. She's definitely not in preflower. Bummer. I was really hoping for a super fast run. Well, it looks like we might have a normal run. Let's hope for an insane plant. Can I just vent for a minutes about how annoying it is to live across from a church on Sundays. All the kids and I can't smoke a bowl yet. Damnit. I don't smoke in front of children. Damned kids coming to church and being all there and whatnot. Oh hey, they all went inside. BOWWWWWL! BAHAHAHAHAHA Update: I know I thought we had pistils on Lemon Cherry Cookies but not. Well they're here now. See picture. White pistils! And it starts! The race to the end. Who will win the glory of being sacrificed to the great Doobie Gods? 10/27/2025 Not much going on today. Did a little bit of extra training. Pulled the top down on the Papaya Cookies. It was starting to get way too high over the canopy. I have this one branch on Lemon Cherry Cookies is super long. I had to train it down twice. Good things are happening! The other one: I didn't even bother looking at her today. Environment: Perfect as always. The CO2 is super bouncy. I can't wait for the NEW exhale bag. Hopefully it works. Lighting: I'll be changing the lighting tomorrow with the new week in Flower. Currently the light is topped out on the ceiling. I'm pretty sure I can take the tethers off if need be. Anyway, I'll be increasing the light intensity tomorrow as well. All the way up from 9 to 10. Hahahaha. I might have to drop the light. But we shall see. Nutrients: I'll be adding some bloom nutes and backing off the grow nutes. I think I do this for 2 weeks starting tomorrow. It's perfect timing. I need to swap out the water, add new nutes and change the lighting. What a start to next week. Anyway, to wrap it up. We had a very good week. Both plants are healthy and happy. Even Papaya Cookies. We had some good growth, some perfect training and a super light defoliation. All is well. Welp, see you next week on the flowering side!

Start in to week 7 As usual, she lost again some Fanleaf's 😏 She's getting really sticky and she's developing a stronger fruity smell in the last 2 days👍 Trying out a CO2 Bag.... And she gets another watering with 2l with 1g/l BioEnhancer Day 78. Day83 Trichome's are most milky and some few Ember at the Top's. Still few clear I think she get another Week and she will be finish👍
