Week 6 update: What up Grow family. These testers are growing fast and strong. Where in week 6 now and the swelling and ripening of flowers are going amazing. Still feeding 500ml/16oz daily as I've found that's the sweet spot for 3gal fabric pots for these. I'd say these probably have about 2 weeks left until they'll be finished. All in all Happy Growing.

Time to take off a few fan leafs. Most plants are 5-7 weeks old. (Start of week 7). 2TD just popping their heads up. 2 - LZ, 2 - CJ and 1 D are 2 weeks old. Hate to spread it all but but just made a big move into a new home... the older plants were stressed to much in the first few weeks and it shows in their size. I have higher hopes for the new plants and they are looking on point for sure. Love organic weed!!!

End of week 5 took out that big ugly plant that took up a shit ton of room .. wasn’t expecting such a big yield decrease but hey shit happens. The single Nanaz I have left though is killing it super big beautiful buds! I have 2 Snowcandy’s that look amazing and got the white truffle lineage buds are golf balls and smell like straight peanut butter! The trichomes from them make your hands literally stick together . The other 2 snowcandys are the runts of the litter and are throwing like no weight out but still good quality at least !

Marker didn't take well to the mainlining process; as a result, one cola was almost entirely consumed by mold. However, overall, things are looking good. I ended up with a small, resilient plant with a nice aroma of pineapple and Skittles, with hints of gas towards the end. 🍍🌿 Towards drying and curing now! 🌬️🎊

D11 - The start of the second week of veg. The girl isn't very tall yet but she is looking healthy and vibrant, and I think it is fair to say at this point that this soil is just fine. I just got unlucky with bad seeds. Oh, well. Upwards and onwards! D14 - The girl is growing along nicely. Still low but is starting to spread out. I also trimmed the cover crop. D17 - The last day in week two of veg. She is slowly outgrowing her cup, and I'm going to transplant her next week.

Day 42-49 (Day 43) I was at the dollar store today and I found the best little plant risers. And they all link together in perfect 12” squares. Fits in my tent perfectly and only spent 15 bucks. That should help the dry downs quite a bit. I’m going to transplant the euro genetics into 1.7g pots with amended sunshine mix #4 for their final containers. I moved all of the non-marijuana seedlings into a small greenhouse out of my tent so I have some more space and light per plant. I also set up an exhaust fan to keep the humidity at a perfect 65-70% night and day. (Day 44) Everything is looking a little nute burned and droopy. The garlics are showing signs of overwatering and nitrogen toxicity. They look like they want to flower so badly. Node spacing is weirdly short too. I picked up the American genetics to look for roots and they were busting out of the bottom. They’re definitely not rootbound as they’re not even a foot tall yet. This is likely from having soil that is too compact (from using too much rock dust and not enough drainage) causing my waterings to not even reach the bottom of the pot. This was also happening to my other grow. I will make sure to very lightly pack soil into pots for now on because you can always add more later. I’m going to fluff up the pots and see if I can loosen the soil a bit. If that doesn’t work I’m going to look at transplanting into 3g fabric pots and lightly shaking off most of the old soil. Luckily I added a shit ton of drainage for the euro genetics when I amended the sunshine mix so they won’t need a transplant. (Day 46) The fluffing didn’t do much. In fact it might have made it worse lol. I just went to the store and bought some Destiny Organics soil and have decided to transplant. I dusted off 90% of the old soil down to root ball which will cause an insane amount of stress to the plants. The plants started in the aero garden were being choked out by the shitty sponge plug it was germinated in. I took a razor blade and carefully cut them down the middle so the stem can expand. I might have cut a few major roots one or two plants. Other than that everything is transplanted. I cut all my amendments in half and I packed the soil very loosely this time. The situation is not ideal by any means but I’m hoping they will bounce back in the next week. This should at least set them up for a more successful flower. I can’t really expect much quality from botched run but who knows. I might come out with some fire. Since this is my last grow here I don’t even have to pay the power bill for the next few months! (I have a very generous landlord as he’s letting me finish my grow until mid September now 😂) (Day 47) I’m going to give them their first good watering and test my fluffy soil. I watered in approximately 700mls each making sure it soaks to the bottom of the pot. (Day 49) All the plants have bounced back except for the ones with root damage. They are still looking droopy and sad. The black garlic #1 has recovered really nicely and is looking happier than ever. The apical growth tip is so tight it has like 4 nodes within an inch somehow. I recently learned that hormones contained in kelp and seaweed extracts can act as plant growth inhibitors and shorten node spacing drastically. I only added a very small amount of kelp meal to the soil so it must be leftover from the previous foliar sprays Velokelp. I’m going to pinch the top off bg1 and see if the lowers can catch up. Sucks to do that so close to flip but oh well. The euros are looking fully recovered from their burn a little while ago. The sunshine mix is quite thick and water retentive as well but at least it has some extra drainage. They’re all looking quite healthy.

OVERALL: ~ Very happy with the grow, I really dialled everything in well this run. ~ She grew super fast, I put it down to the constant oxygenation of the rootzone along with consistent and constantly optimized light DLI and leaf to air temp variance. The extra Co2 helped push the plant to its limit in terms of heat, allowing it to push its hardest. ~ The lack of HST and Defoliation I feel let it finish faster due to lack of stress and stunting. The faster finishing time along with the big yield and efficient MarsHydro light, it hugely reduced my electricity costs per gram and freed up space much sooner for the next plant. ~ Turned into a very dense bush of buds, there is even smokable dense buds at the base of the plant due to the under canopy lighting (Not as dense as top canopy buds but still decent) ~ Ran a thin line between stressing the plant and letting it flourish. The buds came out big and very dense, also it's hard to see on camera but they're very frosty too (Prob from UVB) YIELD: ~ 145g (dry) in just 9 weeks from seed. ~ 753g (Wet) ~ 0.91g/watt GENETICS: ~ MSNL - Gorilla Glue Auto ~ my favorite strain, as you can tell by my username! STRAIN REVIEW: ~ Heavy hitter, like an indica but has some of that "feel it in your face" sensation of a strong sativa. Not as heavy or as strong as other GG#4's I have smoked, which would make me question the genetics used to produce the auto version. I will wait till after a cure and judge it again. TRAINING: ~ No defoliation or HST (Bar last week for pics) ~ A little LST and leaf tucking but largely just left the plant alone to do its thing. I felt chopping healthy parts off the plant would slow the plant down and leave it with less chlorophyll to photosynthesize the light. ~ I did prune by lightly plucking dead leaves away, when the plant was ready to let them go easily. DRYING ~ 20/21'C 50% RH with air circulation. ~ Homemade Drybox made using: 2 x Bankers Boxes ~ 2 x USB Desk Fans ~ 1 x Carbon Filter ~ 6 x Clothes Hangers UPDATE: Day 5 after Harvest: ~ Fast dried some small batches, as we couldn't wait to sample. ~ Chopped off branches as some are down to 12% moisture whilst bigger buds are up at 18%. Moving to paper bag for couple of days to even moisture out then transferring to jars CURING: ~Curing in jars 3/4 full. ~ Dark closet/18'C/50% RH ~ Jars burped once Hygro passes 65% and sealed when it drops to 58%. ~ Stabilised it at 62% and after 2 weeks I'll drop it some more and stabilise it at 58% to bring out more of the flavour. ~Sitting in jars with Boveda 62% at this stage. ~ Already tastes and feels great. WATER: ~ Condensed (Starting at 40ppm) ~ Disinfected prior to adding nutrients etc. (Using COOSPIDER UVC - 253nm & 187nm bulb) CLIMATE: ~ Ambient Air Temp = 29'C ~ 28'C LST ~ Leaf to air temp variance of between 1'C ~ Night Temp = 22/23'C ~ Day/Night temp differential 6-7'C ~ Under Canopy Temp: 26'C (Day) ~ 21'C (Night) ~ Relative Humidity = 50-60%RH (Avg. 55%RH) ~ VPD = 1.45kPa (Avg.) ~ Co2 ranges from 900ppm to 1500ppm (Avg. 1200ppm) AIR PRESSURE: ~ Ambient Air Pressure (outside tent) = Mean Avg. 1010 mbars (101 Kilopascals) ~ Actual Air Pressure (inside tent) = Mean Avg. 1005 mbars (100.5 Kilopascals) ~ Air Pressure Differential = up to 0.5 kPa range between inside & outside LIGHT: ~ UVB (High intensity @ 45cm) ~ 2 hours daily mid light cycle. ~ Warm White 3000K/White 5000k/Far Red (660nm) ~ At plant canopy = PPFD 900-1000umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 45,000-55,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 55-65 ~ Under canopy lighting ~ Blue (460nm)/ Red (630nm) NUTRIENTS: ~ Mostly Advanced Nutrients (For base nutrients and most additives, as only company I could find scientific data on) ~ Canna (For Calmag Agent and Cannazym) ~ Plant Success (Great White Mycorrhizae) ADDITIONAL GROW TECHNIQUES: INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL: Infection control practices i.e ~ PPE, Alcohol Hand wash ~ Gray room outside tent, ~ Carbon filter ~ HEPA filter ~ Plasma Ionizer ~ Inline UV-C germicidal bulb ~ Also using an additional higher powered COOSPIDER (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins. ~ Ozone (o3) gas that is produced using the COOSPIDER, is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens. ~ Ed Rosenthal (Zero Tolerance organic pesticide), sprayed once a week as preventative measure. On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak (No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

Week 3 of flower. the grow on pyramid purple had to be cut short. The white og and critical orange are healthy and on right track

loving the week past as flowers have started smelling so dank unbelievable smells of candyland, can literally smell the fruitiness spewing off it, it's so crazy alongside some pure tropicalness.... got a new camera so got high quality pics for you all

17/09 - PH dropped overnight. Bumped back up to 5.8. EC 1.2, water level dropping. Might top off with higher nute dose tomorrow. D10 since pistills. Dehumidifer should be arriving early next week. 18/09 - PH dropped slightly overnight, EC considerably. Topped off with nute water at standard ratio but with added 3ml of calmag. PH now around 6, EC 1.2ish. 19/09 - PH stable at 6.0. EC 1.17, water level dropping. Was worried about last night, but she perked back up again this morning. Defoliated 15 leaves or so and noticed a branch with a wilting top. Going to keep an eye, but dont really want to chop at this stage unless absolutely neccessary. 20/09 - PH dropped to 5.9, EC to 1.07 morning, 5.8, .97 evening. Water level continues to drop. Leaves on problematic branch further wilted, but branch is strong. Chopped wilting leaves to see what happens. Defoliated 20 or so problematic leaves. Trying to gradually open her up a bit but avoiding stems so she doesnt get a nasty shock once the stretch finishes. 21/09 - Res top up at standard ratio with 3ml calmag. Roughly 10l drank over 3 days. PH now around 6, EC 1.1ish. Dehumidifer now running outside the tent, but humidity is still around 70%. Contuning to defoliate around 15 leaves a day where theyre clumping / blocking sites.

another week and one of the plants became huge lol... I'm going to flush the most mature one to harvest in two weeks

Test

🍬🔥

Going to be harvesting the plants this week. I've been flushing the hydro plants with water and FloraKleen but flushing the coco plants with water and blackstrap molasses, excited to see the difference. I am trying the 24 hours of darkness before cutting them down, this will be my first time doing this but again, I'm excited to try new things and find my growing style. Took the plants out to breathe and took some pics of the BW's and the clones. More to come ***Cut the plants down on day 60 of Flower. I think I could have spread the harvest out over the week but my tent doubles as my drying tent. 😂 I will post my final harvest once my buds are fully manicured and ready for jars.

Well well well! We made it to week 3 of flower and everything is just fine. Hahahahaha! Much excite! 11/11/2025 So here we are! Ready for a new week and some new stuff to look at. Over the last couple weeks we've been focused on upward outward growth. Height and leaf structure. Roots and nutes. (Had to tune there. Just had to do it.) But now that the stretch has basically ended, it's time to focus on the buds. We're going to focus on the lowers this run. I feel like tho This week we are changing some things. I've decreased the humidity down to 45% and increased the temp to 78°. I might drop it back down to 75°, but I've read you can have it warmer and brighter with CO2 in the mix. And I happen to have CO2 in the mix. So I'm trying it out. Plus, I think the plants are looking for more light. They are praying a bit I increased the light intensity to 90%. It should be around 850 PPFD. I know that's a bit high for an autoflower, but these 2 are definitely enjoying the light. As for the solution, it's stays the same this week. I set the pH to 5.9 as I have read a slightly higher pH is good for the flowering stage. Probably helps with specific nutrient uptake. Papaya Cookies is looking fantastic. I noticed that she has a circle of tops all leaning out and making a nice open canopy. As for any ailments, I don't see anything anymore. I got rid of all the leaves with any type of issue on them and am now at all fresh growth. And some of the older leaves just to keep some energy coming in. Thos of course wasn't today. But the circle of tops looks great. I may have to use the scrog net. We shall see. Lemon Cherry Cookies also looks fantastic. She has tops everywhere. Nothing leaning out, but a pretty even spread of tops all over. I did notice that she got a little bit taller than Papaya Cookies. But I'm not sure when that happened. They were perfectly level the other day. Now she's about an inch taller than her counterpart. Maybe a bit more. Something tells me this little lady has a bit more growth in her. I'm just not seeing it. Hopefully she gets over 24". That's what I want. 2 ft plant. I'd prefer a 3 ft plant, but I can't have everything. This one will do just fine. Tons of bud sites. Lots of light and air flow. Perfectly fed. I also need to address the fact that I won't be cleaning out my buckets this week. There's no change in nutrients, and I made sure to at least wipe the sides of the bucket just over the water. There's a lot of air and water circulation, so I'm not all that worried about anything slimy or icky. There's just no point. They are getting just under a gallon of fresh water every day. So it eventually replaces the older water and depleted nutrients. Anyway, rant over. Lol. Oh no! I just spilled my humidifier! Shit!... Well that sucked. Anyway, I have these new grow tent duct vents. They are supposed to block out the light and let the air in. The ones I got go on the 8" ports on the bottom of my tent. Good airflow. That's all for now. 11/12/2025 Well I noticed an issue with both plants. Light stress. They seemed fine for the lostest time with the light at 90% now I have the light at 60% and the DLI is 45 mol. The tent is also running a bit warm and won't go down. The humidity is also giving me a bit of an issue. It won't stay below 50% I have it set to 75° and 45% RH. Anyway, light stress. I think I cought it in time before any real damage can be done. Both plants were showing signs of stress. Yellowing tips, cupping leaves, praying to high. All the things. So let's hope they are alright. I bet they are. Papaya Cookies looks great. I had to take a few leaves off of her. Inner leaves that were blocking bud sites. I also noticed the sativa side of her genetics. The internodal spacing is pretty long. I like that for trimming. But I also like a super dense bush. Just buds and colas. Barely any leaves. Not true. I always keep leaves. Lemon Cherry Cookies was the one that I noticed first. She was perfect until now. And then I knew it was light stress. Anyway, other than that, she's doing great. I did pull a few leaves as well. Not too many. Same reason. Blocking bud sites. The pH is swinging down now. So I need to add a lot of pH up. When I added the silica first, it was super high. It kind of leveled out to like 6.2, but without it, it's like 4.3 and that's way too low. The watering trick works for the most part. I forgot to increase the pH to 6.2 so it can adjust the pH to 5.8 it works, kinda. As I said, I didn't bring the lH up enough to get it at 5.8. So today I needed to put them in the spare bucket for pHing. No big deal, but they are gonna get heavy and bendy. We'll have to see what happens. Hopefully they start drinking a gallon a day soon. Much easier to pH a gallon of water than to try and do it with half a gallon. The Other One still has plenty of life on her. Still growing that main cola. That's it for today. 11/13/2025 I noticed a leaf start to die on Papaya Cookies just like the last time. So I sprayed the shit out of the plants with the crop defender stuff. No way am I running into another infection or disease or bug. Nope. Not me. I'm also starting to think another few days of grow nutes would have been a superb idea. I just have a feeling had I done that, I'd have a larger canopy and taller plants. However. The disadvantage to taller plants is the light height. I'm topped out and the plants are currently 16" from the light. And they're only 24" so I guess a perfect plants size in a 3x3 is 2 ft tall. I think I can go a bit higher, but I'd have to attach each corner individually and raise it that way. I could get about 5" out of that. Then I can increase the intensity. Speaking of, I found that my leaves were starting to get yellow tips on both plants, so I took a peek at the rest of the top. Light stress. Not much, but enough to make a couple of leaves start to canoe. And a few were praying way too hard. So the light went from 80% all the way down to 60%. The light at 80% had a DLI of 55 mol. Maybe 60. I'm not sure anymore. Anyway, it was way too high. So I messed around with it. 50% power was actually the most accurate, but I wanted a little bit more. In the center I'm trying to separate the plants, so there's an opening where the most concentrated light hits. It looks pretty good so far. The leaves are starting to go back to normal except for one on Papaya Cookies that was near death from last night to this morning. Lights on hours for the tent. Other than that, the plants look really healthy. As for the environment. It's pretty much spot on. No hiccups. No issues. When I sprayed the plants down, I made sure to keep the probe out of the way. Naturally the humidity went up a bit, but it's now lights out and these ladies are getting their rest. The humidity can stay up for a little while. It'll drop back down when the plants dry off. I think that's all for the day. I didn't check the pH as I forgot. But it's ok. I'll be topping them off anyway. Speaking of, Papaya Cookies is drinking the most at nearly a gallon a day. Lemon Cherry Cookies is a little behind drinking about 3/4 gallon a day. No big deal. That's just the pace they drink. However, with the light stress taken care of, I can assume they'll start drinking more. Something I noticed is how light the smell is. As I said before, a plant smell is a healthy plant until it needs to smell. At this point I should be seeing trichomes. Haven't seen any. I'll take a peek when the light comes back on. I mean, it could also be because I live in the smell. So I might be nose blind. But still I can tell a big whiff of strong weed when it comes to me. But yah, I wonder if the light stress was melting the trichomes before they could develop. 🤔 Ponderous. However, if I'm right, then the plants are still super healthy and happy. Reason being. These are 2 completely different strains. I chose them because of the short life cycle they have. But each one is different. But neither of them have a strong smell. Not yet anyway. But I have concerns. Isn't the lack smell a lack of trichomes? Not good. I'll have to research this. 11/14/2025 Having some trouble getting the heat down today. It's stuck at 80° and that's not good. No clue what else to do. I opened my door to let some 45° air in and that did nothing. Opened the tent door and it only dropped to 75° instead of the normal 70° to 72°. No changes whatsoever. I don't get it. Does something happen in the flowering period where the plants turn themselves into heaters? My heater is off, the humidifier is off. The dehumidifiers are on, but they've been on for a week or so. No changes there either. Please advise. Lol. The pH is wild today as well as the TDS and the EC. They are reading super high. I don't understand that either. They both got the same slurry of nutes as always. What am I doing wrong? It's all a mess. Lol. The water temp is dangerously high. I have a couple ice blocks in the buckets to help keep the root zone cool, but it won't be enough. They thaw really fast. So yah, just a strange day of everything going wrong. I'll check back this evening if anything changes. Alrighty. I'm back. So a little update. I've got the water pHed back to 5.8 but the nutes seem to be out of control. I might just add plain pHed water today. Just to help drop the TDS to a reasonable range. Currently it's at like 1250 ppm. Although, I do have another mix ready to go with only 700 ppm. That's also pHed to 5.8 and they'll only need about a half gallon each I think. They may need more. But I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I might do plain water, I might do another light mix. Probably a light mix. I've been plucking the weird leaves off of Papaya Cookies for the past few days. Chances are this little lady will last to harvest at the rate she's going with any nutrient issues. It could also be the crazy fluctuations in the lH or the crazy high nute potency. No clue how that happened, but I'll keep a better eye on it. Honestly I haven't noticed any nutrient toxicity issues. Lemon Cherry Cookies has a nice deep green color. But a bit too dark on some. We'll have to see what's in store for us when the lights come back on. 11/15/2025 So both laides may have nutrient lockout. Their tips are starting to yellow and the water mix is reading 1440 ppm. Way too high. So I mixed in some plain pHed water and got them down to around 1100. Still a bit high and definitely too high for an autoflower. At least I think. It's lights out now, so I'm waiting for lights on to see how they are doing and maybe replace some more water. Not exactly sure how it got this high, but I'm fixing it. It's definitely early and good thing too. What if I didn't catch it til later. Both plants would be dying. But nope. I caught it really fast. Plus, I check the water daily. I'm pretty sure it was my mix from yesterday. But it's been the same mix for the week. Nothing different. Maybe just a build up I guess. Oh well, live and learn, right? Papaya Cookies still has dying leaves. One here and there. Not really much to be done about it if it's the stem issue, but I don't think that's the case. I think the stem is completely fixed. So I'm guessing this is a real lockout. No matter. I'll be fixing it completely when the lights come on. I'll pull a gallon and dump a fresh water gallon in. Obviously pHed to 5.8 so hopefully I get the pH and the water back in order. Her pH was also super low this morning. Like 4.8 again. No clue what's going on, but I fixed the pH and it kinda fixed the water. It's not as high. Lemon Cherry Cookies is slightly different. Her pH is actually pretty close. Her pH was nearly spot on hitting around 5.85, but the water was at 1260 ppm. I tried to bring it down, but only succeeded with about 100. So now the water is 1140 ppm. Still too high, but close to the manufacturer recommendation. She's also looking suoer great! Buds are coming in nicely. If not maybe a bit slower than expected, but I'm guessing that's due to the lockout issue. Still, no issues except the yellowing tips. The Other One. ...lol... That's all. Oh yah, I haven't done a thing for her except swap out her water like last week. The environment is still giving a bit of a headache. At least for lights out. Now it's down to 69° which is a step in the right direction, BUT now the humidity is at 52% which is way too high. I want it down to around 45% The day environment is ok. The temps have now risen to around 78° but the humidity is down to 44%. So ones up and ones down. SMH. I'll have to figure that one out for the next run. I think I just need the dehumidifier from AC Infinity. That way, it won't blow hot air constantly. It will vary. And I think at that point I can get the VPD right with the temp and humidity. Hopefully. That's all for now. I'll post some pics what the plants wake up. PS. This week's video is wrong. I didn't like the time interval and as you can see, it's much too fast. So I changed the interval to 30 minutes instead of an hour. This should slow down the video and help see the progress of the plants more clearly. 11/16/2025 So both ladies look perfectly fine, but I think they were suffering in silence. Too many nutes, and the pH has been plummetting like crazy. So today I took about a gallon out of each and refilled the water with plain distilled. That cleaned up the super high concentration of nutes. Then pHed to 5.8. I'm not sure how long the pH will hold. It doesn't take long for it to tank. And when it tanks, I mean like 4 6 pH. That was in less than 24 hours. I wonder what I'm doing wrong. If anything. Either way, I'm gonna check again when the lights turn on. So I ordered a water pump about a week ago and forgot to get the tube I need to pump the water out. That should be here today, let's hope it's the right size. Anyway, that'll make swapping water much easier. As I clean my buckets throughout the week, swapping water without actually pulling the buckets out will be even easier. See, I don't let the build up start in the first place, so when I pH, I give a quick wipe down of the bucket and the air stone hose. Sometimes there's a small build up of something, but I wipe it away with a paper towel. I don't see the need to bleach and whatnot between waterings. I keep my area very clean and the buckets clean as well. Maybe a thorough cleaning between runs, but not between waterings. That's ridiculous. It's not like there's poison in the buckets than needs to be bleached away. It's just salts. Soap and water baby. Soap and water. Anyway, that's my rant for the day. Not much of a rant, more like the process of cleaning I have. Maybe good for someone who reads this. Papaya Cookies is looking great! I took the bad leaves off yesterday and wouldn't you know it, there aren't anymore today. I think it's because I mostly sorted out the EC and TDS nonsense. All that was left was the pH. I made sure to nail it last night and again this morning. Both ladies should be perfectly fine. With the right amount of nutes at the right concentration should make her put out some crazy results. Lemon Cherry Cookies seems to be impervious to everything. She just keeps trucking along. Suffering in silence as she goes. Well, now that I have the stuff fixed for the week, (2 days) it should be good. Now I have to go back and figure out when I changed the water. Honestly I don't think I need to. I can just add a little extra for the next top off. Especially because I swapped like a quarter of the water today and if it doesn't stay where it needs to be, I'll swap out another gallon. That way in the morning on Tuesday, I should be able to give it a normal dose for the week. Not much of an increase. The bloom nutes are the only thing increasing. Just a quarter teaspoon. So not much at all. The environment is back to normal now. Well, kinda. The humidity is still a little bit high, but I think that's my fault. I have it set to 45% for the week and when it hits 44% the humidifier kicks on and drags it all the way up to 50%. Not sure why it does that, but it does. It's really annoying. Cuz then it gets stuck in the high 40s for hours. No clue why either. The lung room is at 66° and 37% humidity. Honestly kinda cold for me, but I need it for the plants. Plus I can just put a hoodie on and slippers. I think that's all for the day. Oh, TDS: 940 EC: 1.9 pH: 5.8 Update: Lemon Cherry Cookies has a pH of 6.1 and Papaya Cookies is at 6.9. I might leave it for a bit. I have a feeling it'll swing back down by tomorrow. If not, I'll set the pH lower in the top off. That should help for a little while. But then in 2 days, it's a new week. And I think it's a water swap week. Anyway, they are both still on range with the water around 950 ppm and the EC is 1.9. That's all for today 11/17/2025 These ladies look great, but I think we have a slight nutrient lockout going on here. The ppms keep increasing. I'm also not seeing signs of anything except slow growth. Weird. Anyway, I fixed the water yet again. I added some plain distilled water. I didn't pH it. I need the higher pH to lower the mix pH. Lemon Cherry Cookies looks great! She seems a little slow in the swell of her buds. Or not. It's only been a few weeks. However, Papaya Cookies is frosty and swelling like crazy. She looks fantastic, but there's that weird lack of nutrient uptake. I think. I could be dead wrong. Probably am, especially how she's filling up those buds. Can't wait for the finished product. The environment: I've decided I'm following the VPD instead of trying to fight the temp and humidity. The VPD is key for intake of air and nutrients. So let's focus on that. 1.55 kPa is what I'm going for. The Other One: She's just in the zone zenni g out before she dies. Definitely getting worse. Oh well. That's the game right? That's all for the day

All the plants are beautiful but some are beautiful. This is the case of Red Hot Cookies, a young lady who stands out, stands out among the others and despite the 6.5 pot she is also growing and swelling well. But her strength is beauty for real, look at these flowers to believe. They are an intense red that goes towards purple which contrasts greatly with the truly wonderful white hairs. Also wonderful are the leaves that are tinged with the classic RHC color near the flower

Tea once a week going nice;))))))

Week5 Vegetative steering Day 29 ————- 4 minute shots(220+-ml). 50-60klux 68 leaf temp Defoliated/Lollipopped Plants seem to be inefficiently spaced. I moved them all closer and they are now positioned better under the lights ———— Day 30 VPDis about a .95 Vegetative steering schedule for 3gal who drink a little over a quart a day 220 P1 440 P1 660 P1 880 P1 1000 P1 1220 P2 1330(1%)P3 I achieve runoff at end of P1 then do a maintenance shot and finish the day off with a watering. P1 waters every 15 min starting 1.5hours after lights on Plants are swelling. But not as well as when i use CO2. I think plants in flower still need co2 so that we can get these lights closer.(as long as the leaf(temp does not go over 80 and vpd stays good) Also, i found a plant to have hermied in week 2 so i removed the pollen sac and rubbed some pollen on 2 plants. Seems like they are just starting to take form on the flowers. **need to check for hermies beginning week 2** Am happy to get seeds from these ladies as this was very isolated in the grow ________________ Day 31 Plants are starting to frost. Group1 has swelled the most Group 2 has average growth and nice frost Group 3 looks like it was over dosed. *Bras&MJ study shows that MJ does mot need to be sprayed with Bras as it will over stress the plants. Brass was completely fine to spray without having adverse reactions. MJ seems to decrease yields but is a worthy tradeoff(will continue to use)-* ————— Day 32 Sprayed 2 plants with MJ(they now have been sprayed both week 4&6) Sprayed 3 with bras(also have been sprayed twice in flower) Finally frosting On the plants
