I defoliated the Plant for the first time and adjusted the LST to the growth of the plant. I found the first white pistils shooting out from the plant which shows me she is ready to go into flower. Until now i am very happy with the progress, still no issues :)

4/2/23 - Filter put on my intake vent. Both plants watered with campden + RECHARGE + CalMag water pH'd to 6.3. Day 7 of flower / Starting week 2 and they're both just showing their first wispy white pistils. I will start slowly adding bloom to the feeding schedule weekly starting next week. I moved the Trellis netting down a bit since they're not stretching too bad so far. 4/4/23 @ 12:30pm - Both plants given 7 cups of water with their firsts 1/2 dose of Bloom nutes from TPS, plus 1/5th of a campden tablet pH'd to 6.2. This is the fastest the soil has dried out before after only 48 hours they were completely dry. That's why I bumped up the amount of water both plants were given from the last few times. If they continue to dry out after only two days I'll keep upping the amount of water they get slowly each watering. Pheno #1 is popping through the trellis now and Pheno #2 is stretching more since it's shorter. Since they are so bushy I am thinking of defoliating sooner than the start of week three (4/9/23), maybe this Friday - we'll see. Smells are getting hazy smelling in the tent and no herming so far - fingers crossed lol - I am also going to be spraying both plants down right before lights out tonight with Earth's Ally 3-in-1 Organic Plant Spray as a pest / mold prevention measure. 4/5/23 @ 12:30pm - Both plants looking very nice after getting their pesticide spray down last night before lights out. I rotated the plants about 45 degrees to form boxes to help spread the tops out when they start weaving through the trellis. 4/6/23 @ 10:30pm - Checked on my girls before lights out and realized they were overdue for a defoliation. Took a decent off to open up some more bud sites and I am happy with how they look. I plan on letting them grow normally and just watering with bloom + recharge + CalMag going forward. I also completely adjusted my light setup, set it to 75% and moved the light down to 20" above the canopy to get a better PPFD reading. 4/7/23 @ 4pm - Both plants given 7 cups of Bloom + Campden water pH'd to 6.3. Should be on cruise for the remainder of the grow - just need to water whenever they're thirsty :)

Week 3!!! Tied down the main branch. Giving them more nutrients 6ml per l I also increased the light intensity by 10% so I think I’m at 50% now My nutrients 1 x Adam: Base nutrient to use from start to finish | NPK: 3 - 0 - 1 1 x Eve: Base nutrient to use from start to finish | NPK: 0 - 4 - 3 1 x Lush: Veg stage additive | NPK: 5 - 0 - 0.5 1 x Rapture: Early Bloom / Flowering stage additive | NPK: 0.7 - 3 - 3 1 x Heavenly Harvest: Additive to enhance Flowering before harvest | NPK: 0 - 7 - 6 I am using 2ml /l Adam and Eve and 1ml / l lush. I feed the girls everyday, watering the nutrient water until I get 15% runoff. Hopefully that’s okay. Jiffy girl has got really big and seems healthy, but coco is a runt I think… it’s half the size of jiffy.

The Fruits Baby are starting to come in nicely I have the lights at 500 watts going to wait for them to get Juicy and bulk up the lights and the feed intake!! Excited for the weeks to come. On a side note I am doing this run to see what really works best I know I will get the hydro dialed in and start doing the magic it always does, I am just super surprised the living soil is like a slow and steady and just always steady getting bigger and bigger it was a little slower but in flower its doing great and exploding.

0.23v tuned to 7.83Hz Plants exposed to the Schumann resonance often show greater resistance to stress factors such as drought, diseases, and pests. It is possible that these natural electromagnetic waves strengthen plants' immune systems and increase their ability to resist disease. Pretty neat, in the afternoon when the tent hovers around 84F the plants are 🙏, can visually see in time around 10 minutes after I opened the tent the temp had dropped to 76 pressure was lost, she is still chilling but she doesn't quite have that perk anymore. *Salinity3.5% - 100ml H2O=100g The concentration of salt in a solution 3.5%= 3.5g in 100ml. Growing well. Not going to top or do any training, I'll let the plant do its own thing, she is constructing foundations now for what she senses ahead. Smart girl. ✨️ Let her, do her thing, let me do mine. The voltage that is needed for electrolysis to occur is called the decomposition potential. The word "lysis" means to separate or break, so in terms, electrolysis would mean "breakdown via electricity. Green hydrogen is hydrogen produced by the electrolysis of water, using renewable electricity. The production of green hydrogen causes significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions than the production of grey hydrogen, which is derived from fossil fuels without carbon capture. Electrolysis of pure water requires excess energy in the form of overpotential to overcome various activation barriers. Without the excess energy, electrolysis occurs slowly or not at all. This is in part due to the limited self-ionization of water. Pure water has an electrical conductivity of about one hundred thousandths that of seawater. Efficiency is increased through the addition of an electrolyte (such as a salt, acid or base). Photoelectrolysis of water, also known as photoelectrochemical water splitting, occurs in a photoelectrochemical cell when light is used as the energy source for the electrolysis of water, producing dihydrogen . Photoelectrolysis is sometimes known colloquially as the hydrogen holy grail for its potential to yield a viable alternative to petroleum as a source of energy. The PEC cell primarily consists of three components: the photoelectrode the electrolyte and a counter electrode. The semiconductor crucial to this process, absorbs sunlight, initiating electron excitation and subsequent water molecule splitting into hydrogen and oxygen. Water electrolysis requires a minimum potential difference of 1.23 volts, although at that voltage external heat is also required. Typically 1.5 volts is required. Biochar, a by-product of biomass pyrolysis, is typically characterized by high carbon content, aromaticity, porosity, cation exchange capacity, stability, and reactivity. The coupling of biochar oxidation reaction (BOR) with water electrolysis constitutes biochar-assisted water electrolysis (BAWE) for hydrogen production, which has been demonstrated to reduce the electricity consumption of conventional water electrolysis from 1.23v to 0.21v. Biochar particles added to the electrolyte form a two-phase solution, in which the biochar oxidation reaction (BOR) has a lower potential (0.21 V vs. RHE) than OER (1.23 V vs. RHE), reducing the energy consumption for hydrogen production via biochar-assisted water electrolysis (BAWE). BAWE produces H2 under 1 V while eliminating O2 formation: key word "eliminating". Air with a normal oxygen concentration of around 21% is not considered explosive on its own; however, if a flammable gas or vapor is present, increasing the oxygen percentage above 23.5% can significantly increase the risk of ignition and explosion due to the enriched oxygen environment. The addition of ion mediators (Fe3+/Fe2+) significantly increases BOR kinetics. Air: Nitrogen -- N2 -- 78.084% Carbon Dioxide -- CO2 -- 0.04% Hydrogen in homosphere H -- 0.00005% Hydrogen "GAS" H2 in homosphere - 0% "Nitrogen, oxygen, and argon are the three main components of Earth's atmosphere. Water concentration varies but averages around 0.25% of the atmosphere by mass. Carbon dioxide and all of the other elements and compounds are trace gases. Trace gases include the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Except for argon, other noble gases are trace elements (these include neon, helium, krypton, and xenon). Industrial pollutants include chlorine and its compounds, fluorine and its compounds, elemental mercury vapor, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. Other components of Earth's atmosphere include spores, pollen, volcanic ash, and salt from sea spray." Although the CRC table does not list water vapor (H2O), air can contain as much as 5% water vapor, more commonly ranging from 1-3%. The 1-5% range places water vapor as the third most common gas (which alters the other percentages accordingly). Water content varies according to air temperature. Dry air is denser than humid air. However, sometimes humid air contains actual water droplets, which can make it more dense than humid air that only contains water vapor. The homosphere(where you live) is the portion of the atmosphere with a fairly uniform composition due to atmospheric turbulence. In contrast, the heterosphere is the part of the atmosphere where chemical composition varies mainly according to altitude. The lower portion of the heterosphere contains oxygen and nitrogen, but these heavier elements do not occur higher up. The upper heterosphere consists almost entirely of hydrogen, cool. 78%nitrogen as N2, a far too stable bond to be used by organisms. 20%oxygen 0.04%co2 0.00005% hydrogen When lightning strikes, it tears apart the bond in airborne nitrogen molecules. Those free nitrogen atoms N2 nitrites then have the chance to combine with oxygen molecules to form a compound called nitrates N3. Once formed, the nitrates are carried down to the ground becoming usable by organisms. Will it react with the oxygen in the air spontaneously, the answer is no. The mixture is chemically stable indefinitely. A mixture with air near the release point can be ignited, but if this does not happen then when its concentration gets below 4% it will be unable to carry a flame. Taking a small detour into chemistry here, a key concept to understanding the health impact of nitrogen-based compounds is knowing the difference between nitrates and nitrites. What Are Nitrates and Nitrites? A nitrite (NO2) is a nitrogen atom bonded to only two nitrogen atoms. Very strong bond A nitrate (NO3) is a nitrogen atom bonded to three oxygen atoms. Weaker bond The optimal pH for nitrate (NO3-) depends on the process and the type of bacteria involved. Nitrification The optimal pH for nitrification is between 7.5 and 8.6 Nitrification is the process of oxidizing ammonia to nitrate and nitrite Nitrosomonas has an optimal pH between 7.0 and 8.0 Nitrobacter has an optimal pH between 7.5 and 8.0 Nitrification ceases at pH

Hello Growmies! Here we are at week 15 with the Epic Buzz, and what a sight it has become. As the days pass, the natural fading is more apparent, showcasing an array of autumnal hues that captivate the eye. The aroma is intoxicating and undeniably strong, filling the space with an earthy and pungent perfume. This week, I’ve implemented a bit of drought and temperature stress, emulating the natural environment of autumn even further. It's a delicate process, but these beauties have responded with resilience, their colors transitioning beautifully as they approach the late stages of flowering. Each bud is dense and frosty, a testament to the careful nurturing they’ve received. The environment is controlled, but I’ve allowed for slight fluctuations to challenge the plants, encouraging them to harden and produce those precious, resinous trichomes. It’s a sight to behold and the anticipation for harvest grows daily. It’s all about patience and precision now, as each day could mean the difference between good and great. As we approach the harvest, I'm closely monitoring each plant, ensuring they're expressing their full potential. The resilience they've shown is remarkable, a sign of strong genetics and attentive care. They're a testament to the wonders of cultivation and the rewards of dedication. So, stay tuned as we close in on the final days. It's a journey filled with anticipation and excitement. The payoff is nearly at hand, and soon we'll be reaping the fruits of our labor. Stay lifted, Salokin!

|»» LOG DISCLAIMER: Not intended as a grow guide. Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 23 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17590.2, This week was a whole lot better than last! Lost TKO last week so Heady OG is all I have for this cycle, but wow she is looking beautiful! Buds are getting thick! Checked trichomes and decided to let her grow for a few more weeks. The veg garden has been growing along healthy and all mothers are looking beautiful! Topped three of the moms and have been tending to the spare clones in the tray. Also been prepping for tissue culture and plan to start very soon! Onwards to next week Ensign!

Looking great in the veg garden! --- Glad that the TKO mom is thriving and wow the Heady OG mother is looking a lot better now! --- The canopy looks really healthy and growth is perky and soaring upwards! --- The original Garlic Budder #1 mother is getting quite tall as well. --- Will need to top the canopy soon. --- Both of the spare clones in the propagation tray look healthy and green! --- The Garlic Budder #2 clone needs water. - [+00:42]: Here is the starting initial watering range: ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 256.4g → 300.2g --------- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet] --- Took the starting weight before watering, ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 258.2g --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted her straw mulch with RO water. --- Tried to keep the top growth dry. --- Misted 5-10 sprays. Waited a few seconds, then misted again. --- Made sure to reference the watering weights. --- Repeated this process until the cup weighted at least 300g. --- There was no runoff. - [+01:00]: Took the saturated weight after watering, ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 320.6g --- Marked the watering date on the side of the cup. Also marked the saturated weight on the back. --- Placed her back into the tent. --- Why not! Decided to top the mothers. --- Growth is getting too close to the grow light. - [+01:03]: Using a pair of clean trimmers, --- Cut and removed a good 5-6 inches of top growth. --- Topped all mothers except the Gorilla Goat #1 mom. --- Mulched the trimmings. --- The veg garden is looking healthy and is growing strong! - [+01:18]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Plan to start prepping for tissue culture soon and am still researching the initial process. Day 02 - Tuesday - 09/23/25 - Total Days: 163 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 86.0°F [30.0°C] - Humidity: 78.4% - VPD: 0.92 kPa - Soil %: [49, 41, 34, 53, 43, 40, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [13:03]: Time to start prepping for my first attempt at tissue culture! --- Ordered and received the AC Infinity PH Meter PRO [AC-PHM7] --- Since this is a brand new unit, the probe sensor needs to be cleaned and conditioned for calibration. --- For proper storage and conditioning, the meter includes a bottle of KCL (Potassium Chloride) storage solution. --- For a basic 2-point calibration, the pH meter also includes 7.00 pH [Mid] and 4.00 pH [Low] calibration solution. --- The pen does support a 3-point calibration, but does not include the 10.1 pH [High] calibration solution. For growing, the pH should never get that high anyways. The ideal averages are all below 7.00 pH [Mid to Low Points]. --- The meter also includes solutions for conductivity calibration, but don’t need these for tissue culture. --- Okay let's go! - [13:09]: Took the cap off of the unit and examined the new sensor probe. --- There was a tiny bit of condensation and a micro drops of the KCL storage solution in the cap. --- The glass sensor was clean, but the seal for the cap had a bit of mineral build-up. This is apparently normal for new meters. --- Swirled the probe in distilled water for a bit making sure to fully saturate the sensor and to rinse off the old KCL solution. --- Wiped the mineral deposits off with a clean paper towel. Made sure to be gentle around the glass probe and tried not to touch it much. --- Also cleaned and rinsed the cap with distilled water and dried with a paper towel. - [13:16]: Opened and poured about 3/4 of the KCL solution into the cap. --- Placed and probe cap back on making sure the sensor is fully soaking in the storage solution. --- Done! - [13:19]: The unit should be ready for a first-time calibration after a 30-minute soak, but going to be soaking for a lot longer. --- The probe needs to stay stored in this KCL solution and will top off with more as needed. --- Plan to calibrate the meter right before checking and adjusting the pH for the establishment media. --- Compared to my last pH meter (cheap Amazon pen), this one is a huge upgrade in both accuracy and complexity. --- Will need to do a bit of research on how to calibrate and use this meter properly. - [16:36]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- With the recent TKO disaster in the main tent, glad that everything is looking healthy in the veg garden! --- All mothers (including TKO) are looking green and getting bigger! --- Now that the watering system is working again, the Heady OG mother is looking a lot better and she is starting to perk up. Ca-Caw! Nice! --- Even the spare clones in the tray are looking good and no need to water. Great! - [17:01]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 47% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 40% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 34% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 53% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 47% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - TKO] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 44% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 44% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] --- All watering units are functioning properly! - [20:37]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Looking great in the garden! --- Still hurts to have lost TKO, she’s completely yellow and crispy.. --- On the flipside, Heady OG has clearly survived and is looking beautiful with bud colas getting frosty and thick! --- Anyways, time to take the weekly height and PPFD readings, but will only take readings for Heady OG from now on. - [20:46]: Took the weekly general PPFD readings. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was around 1159 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 50.07 mol/m²/d under a 12/12 light cycle (LV5 @ ~390.1W). - [20:55]: Took the weekly height and light distance measurements. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 52" tall. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 2" away from the grow light. --- These readings were taken from the tallest bud colas so the average height and PPFD levels are lower. - [21:25]: Checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is charged and water is still flowing. - [21:56]: Okay! Still prepping for tissue culture (TC) and need to cut some plastic wrap. Let's go! --- Using a PVC cutter, cut a roll of plastic wrap into twelve 1-inch pieces. - [22:15]: Done! --- Instead of para or lab film, these saran wrap rolls will be used to secure the lids of the explant containers after transplant. --- Shout out to Laur and Plants-In-Jars for the useful and in-expensive alternative! --- Okay! Almost all set to give tissue culture a go and will begin preparation of the establishment media next week. --- Getting hyped! - [22:21]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Hey there, green warriors and cannabis lovers! 🌱🔥 We’re now in week 3 of the flowering stage in our Runtz Battle, and things are really starting to heat up! This week brought an interesting twist as we had to make a strategic adjustment to ensure all our plants are on the same page. Let’s dive into the details and explore how things are progressing. Week 3 Flowering Progress 🌿✨ Our Runtz plants continue to flourish, and here’s what’s been happening: • Bud Development 🌸: • The buds are filling out beautifully, with each day bringing more growth and resin production. The plants are stacking up nicely, with dense flowers forming at multiple sites. The F1 strain remains compact and uniform, showcasing tight, resin-packed bud sites. • Environmental Stability 🌡️: • We’re maintaining consistent environmental conditions with a room temperature of 30.3°C, water temperature at 18°C, and humidity at 51%. These stable conditions are key to supporting strong bud growth and overall plant health. Switching to 12/12: The Light Adjustment 🌟💡 This week, we made a crucial adjustment to our lighting schedule: • Why the Change? 🌞🌙: • One of our plants hadn’t yet started flowering, so we made the decision to switch all plants to a 12/12 light cycle. This change is essential to trigger flowering in the plant that was lagging, ensuring it joins the rest of the group in producing those beautiful buds. • How 12/12 Helps 🌿💡: • The 12/12 light cycle mimics the natural change in daylight hours as summer transitions to fall, signaling to the plants that it’s time to focus on reproduction (flowering). This shift is a classic technique to ensure all plants in the garden synchronize their flowering process. The reduction in light hours encourages the production of flowering hormones, which will now help the plant that was behind to catch up and start forming buds. • Impact on the Runtz Plants 🌸: • The Runtz strains that were already flowering won’t be negatively affected by this change. In fact, the consistent 12/12 cycle can help to further boost their flowering intensity, ensuring that the buds continue to develop fully and evenly. Nutrient and Care Strategy 🌱💧 Our focus on proper nutrition and environmental care remains a top priority: • Watering and Nutrients 💧: • With the Autopots still running smoothly, we’re continuing with Regulator and CaMg Boost in the reservoir. The nutrient-rich soil and organic inputs are keeping the plants well-fed, and the consistent hydration is ensuring steady growth and flower development. • Lighting and Environmental Control 🌡️: • The Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro continues to provide powerful, full-spectrum light that supports the flowering process. With the 12/12 schedule in place, the plants are receiving the perfect balance of light and dark, critical for flower development. • The TrolMaster Hydro-X controller remains essential in managing these conditions, keeping everything dialed in for optimal plant health. Looking Ahead 🌟🌿 As we move deeper into flowering, the anticipation only grows. The 12/12 light cycle is now in full effect, ensuring all our plants are flowering together. The Runtz strains are on track to produce a stunning harvest, with each plant showcasing its unique strengths. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this green journey. The next few weeks are going to be thrilling as we watch these buds fatten up and reach their full potential! 🌟💚 #RuntzBattle #Week3Flower #CannabisCommunity #FloweringStage #LightCycle #12and12 #GreenMagic #LumatekZeus #TrolMasterHydroX #GrowStrong #StayPositive Germination method 🌱 @thecannakan Genetics Runtz F1 @zam.nesia Runtz auto @kannabiaglobal Nutrition @aptusholland 🌿 @aptus_world 🌎 @aptus_es 🌍 @aptusbrasil 🌱 @aptus_thailand 🌿 @aptus_portugal 🌳 @aptususa_official 🍀 @aptusplanttechnz 🌺 @aptusplanttechaus 🍃 Ambient controls🎮 @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro Soil @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis LED - @lumatekeu Watering- @autopot_usa @autopot_global Love and attention- @dogdoctorofficial #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trolmaster #trolmastereurope #trolmastersecrets #Autopots #RuntzBattle #KannabiaVsZamnesia #GreenJoy As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚 More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found ⬆️ link in the profile description ⬆️ Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All 💚
