The apparent potassium deficiency has got me worried about how to get some into the plants ASAP. Therefore, I have purchased some Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster, courtesy of Amazon Prime! Sadly, this seems to be of inorganic nature. However, I need to rectify the issue quickly, so this seemed the best option. Another possibility is light burn, as the plants have grown as tall as my tent! 6ft! So I have turned down the lighting to 60%. This seems quite likely as my FBP2 is considerably shorter than FBP1 and FBP3, and this plant does not have the same issues. The new dehumidifier has managed to get the RH down to around 49%. Considering it was up to 99% this week. I definitely am trying my best to avoid the dreaded bud rot! I added a large amount of Silica as the stems are decreasing in strength under the weight, so hopefully that will help. Additionally a Potassium deficiency itself can cause weaker stems, so I'm trying everything, (possibly overkill) to correct my oversights on this. All in all I've learnt many things from this 1st grow. Most importantly the necessity of LST, to prevent the plants from getting so tall, and that will avoid the light stress. The trichomes are still mostly clear through the jewellers loupe. From what I can tell as my eyesight isn't too good. It's difficult to tell milky from clear to me. 21.8.24; I just did a defoliation, I removed many more leaves today šŸƒ things are getting super crowded in the 4x4, even with both tent doors open. I adjusted the plants, alternating so that each side of each plant gets correct lighting (as best I can manage)! I gave the plants each; *1ml in 1ltr of dechlorinated water, of Ecothrive Flourish. **2ml in 1ltr of dechlorinated water of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster. ****2ml in 1ltr of dechlorinated water, of Cal-Mag. My fan also broke, so I moved my lounge fan into the grow room. It's a lot more powerful, even on the lowest setting, so I tried to disperse it trying as best as possible. Thanks for reading my diary šŸ™‚

They’re getting juicy, just feed some compost tea made from Dr Earth Tomatoes Veg and herb fertilizer and some Molasses. Just seen a Nat so I don’t think I’ll be doing the tea again, I want to prevent bugs as much as I can. I’ll be putting up a sticky trap to catch it I only seen 1 but 1 is enough for me

Week 2 of flower 12-5 She is growing nicely. She got a good dose of microbes yesterday. 2k ml she got cal/mag 5ml per gal, Drops 1ml, dusting of yucca, Kelp 1/16th tsp, EM 1 1 ounce per gallon and 1/2 tsp recharge. Top dress is soon. She will only get water x2 waterings. 12-7 2.5 liters plain water ph 6.2 removed any leaf pointing inwards. Fully watered love it. Doing great. Hope not to touch a leaf for a week. Fat chance, but heres for hoping šŸ¤ž 12-10 Removed some leafs 12-11 Looks like water tomorrow.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 21/12/2019 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.4PH water with 0,5ml of each: Grow, Bloom and Max, and 1ml of each: Heaven, Alga-mic and Vera, noticed almost no run off, I use about 1/3 of the nutrient dosage on the chart, to achieve about 200/300PPM (500 scale). Did some light pruning also.

6.11. 2023 4:30 - It is time for a thorough flushing of the RQS genetics with osmotic water and I will use flawless finish from advanced nutrients to force the plant to absorb the remaining nutrients from the leaves. 7.11. 2023 5:00 - Careful observation of the trichomes and their coloration, I plan to harvest the plant when the trichomes start to turn amber. At the moment they seem to be slowly turning a milky colour and seem to be "filling up" 8.11. 2023 4:00 - The leaves seem to be slowly losing colour, especially in one RQS genetics the yellowing is quite pronounced. 8.11 2023 4:30 - I will try to remove all the old dead leaves and the ones that are already letting the plants go, but I will not cut any off, only the ones that can be easily removed. 9.11. 2023 20:00 - I think the trichomes are slowly filling up and harvest time is approaching with each passing day. 10.11. 2023 8:00 - I will try to participate in the competition with my 420 genetics for the best photo just for fun :) i have to take some photos with black background but for now it's just a test i will add some. 11.11. 2023 7:00 - The leaves on all plants are turning yellow but the waste water is still around 1800ppm. The odd thing is there are probably a lot of residual salts in the substrate from nutrients. Hopefully we can get as much of it cleared up before harvest. 12.11. 2023 20:00 - I'm waiting for the trichomes to turn amber. I'll be patient. Most of the trichomes are now snow white, but not all.

|»» 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 15 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17541.8, Wow what an epic grow week! First week within a 12/12 light cycle and lots of training got done! Ca-Caw! Heady OG is blowing up with tops and been tucking to spread the canopy out a bit in the front left quadrant. But also started to let the right side grow through the netting. As for TKO, been training growth upwards as she stretches through the scrog netting. Towards the end of the week, her top soil sensor started to cut out and had to swap it out with a new one. Both the Heady OG and TKO clones have been transplanted into solo cups, but Heady OG is clearly struggling. To prevent the potential loss of the genetics, decided to take two more Heady OG cuttings. Started my first batch of lactobacillus (LAB) serum and am waiting for the water to activate. Also been researching about tissue culture and think this can be the solution to preserving genetics when space is limited. Anyways, Onwards Ensign! [START OF WEEK 15] ========================================================== ---------- [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] ---------- Heady OG BX1 #1 [Round4 ~Wk8] - WEEK 15 - Pre-Bloom [Stretch Wk1] TKO [Round2 ~Wk13] - WEEK 15 - Pre-Bloom [Stretch Wk1] ----------- [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ------------ Garlic Budder OG#1 - WEEK 07 - Full Veg Garlic Budder OG#2 - WEEK 07 - Full Veg Gorilla Goat #1 - WEEK 07 - Full Veg Gorilla Goat #2 - WEEK 07 - Full Veg 07/28/25 → 08/03/25 This Week's Estimated Goals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DLI: ~13 mol/m²/d PPFD: ~300 μmol/m²/s VPD: ~1.0 kPa This Week's Meter Readings & Averages ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Light On/Off: 19:00 - 07:00 | Wattage: ~326.5W [LV04] Distance From Canopy: ~31ā€, 27ā€ DLI: ~15.60 mol/m²/d PPFD: ~361 μmol/m²/s VPD: ~0.71 kPa Soil %: [49.6, 36.1, 49.0, 47.1, 42.6, 43.0, 43.0, 44.6] ========================================================== Day 01 - Monday - 07/28/25 - Total Days: 106 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.6°F [28.7°C] - Humidity: 82.0% - VPD: 0.72 kPa - Soil %: [50, 36, 49, 47, 43, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [+04:07]: Ca-Caw!! Let’s get this flower cycle started! --- Time to switch the clocks from 18/6 to 12/12 which will begin the stretch to flower! Let’s go! --- Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Main Tent [4x4] controller, --- Changed the schedule from 'Vegetative [18/6]' to 'Flower [12/12]' --- Also made sure to sync the settings for each device. The current settings are: ------ GROW LIGHT (MARS HYDRO FC-6500): --------- The Mode is set to ā€˜ON MODE’ --------- The START/END times are set to 07:00PM/07:00AM --------- The SUNRISE/SUNSET Duration value is set to 20Min --------- The MAX value is set to 4 ------ EXHAUST FAN (AC INFINITY CLOUDLINE T6): --------- The Mode is set to ā€˜CONTINUOUS AUTO’ --------- The Temperature HIGH/LOW trigger’s value are set to 85°F/OFF --------- The Humidity HIGH/LOW trigger’s value are set to 87%/OFF --------- The MIN/MAX values are set to 1/8 --------- The Temperature Dynamic Transition buffer value is set to 2°F --------- The Humidity Dynamic Transition buffer value is set to 2% ------ HUMIDIFIER (AC INFINITY CLOUDFORGE T7): --------- The Mode is set to ā€˜CONTINUOUS TARGET’ --------- The VPD target value is set to 1.0kPa --------- The MIN/MAX values are set to 0/8 --------- The VPD Dynamic Transition buffer value is set to 0.2kPa ------ HEATER (AC INFINITY THERMOFORGE T3): --------- The Mode is set to ā€˜CONTINUOUS TARGET’ --------- The Temperature target value is set to 78°F --------- The MIN/MAX values are set to 0/8 --------- The Temperature Dynamic Transition buffer value is set to 2°F --- The only difference is the ON/OFF times for the grow light. Now lights will be on from 7pm to 7am (19:00 – 07:00). --- Everything else is identical to the previous veg schedule. --- Anyways, --- LET THE TWO-WEEK STRETCH TO FLOWER BEGIN!! - [+00:55]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! Looking great my ladies! --- Heady OG (BX1 #1) is continuing to blow up with more tops! The canopy is looking incredible! --- TKO is also looking great with tops everywhere! She has taken over this grow and hyped that - [+01:54]: Trained and tucked the top growth under the netting. --- Canopy is flat and even again. Great! --- Day one into the 12/12 flip and growth is looking great! - [+01:56]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 46% - [CH01 FT Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 50% - [CH03 BT Ā» G20 - TKO] ------ 47% - [CH04 BB Ā» G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 40% - [CH05 BL Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 41% - [CH06 BR Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 40% - [CH07 FL Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 44% - [CH08 FR Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] Ā«| 45 - 60% [Moist] |Ā» 70% [Wet] - [+01:59]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mothers are all vegging along and the canopy is bushy and beautiful! --- Pots also look good too. No gnats! - [+02:01]: Checked on the propagation dome (in the 3x3), --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Clone growth looks great for the most part and getting curious on root growth. --- Heady OG looks green, but she has been very droopy the entire time. Not sure if this cutting will root, but there is no yellowing. May have messed up something in cloning. --- The TKO clone looks beautiful. incredible! --- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with RO water. - [+02:05]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Over the past week or so, been research about Lactobacillus and the organic benefits. Plan to give it a try and will start the process tomorrow. --- Shout out to Jeremy at BuildASoil for the YT videos and the Lacto recipe! --- LOYAL TO THE SOIL FOR LIFE! --- Anyways, Onwards Ensign! Day 02 - Tuesday - 07/29/25 - Total Days: 107 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.3°F [28.5°C] - Humidity: 80.4% - VPD: 0.78 kPa - Soil %: [50, 36, 49, 47, 43, 43, 43, 44] ----------------------------------- - [14:24]: Okay! Time to start some Lacto Serum! --- This lactobacillus serum is used to improve soil health and nutrient availability. This LAB serum can also be used to create fermented plant or fruit juices (FPJ/FFJ). --- Anyways, --- First need to make the rice wash solution! --- Filled a mini wide-mouth mason jar with 1 cup of White Rice. ------ Added 1 cup of RO Water --- Mixed the rice and water for a bit. --- Covered the jar with a paper towel and rubber-band. ------ [ ~10 MINUTES LATER ] - [14:38]: Great! --- Mixed the rice and water again before pouring a little over 1/4 cup into a mini wide-mouth mason jar. --- Covered the jar with a paper towel and rubber-band. --- The current room temps are around 80°F --- To start the microbial activation, going to let this rice water solution sit for a few days. - [14:45]: Smelled the solution through the paper towel. --- The solution smells like flour. Nothing foul. --- From what I understand the process is pretty simple: ------ Create the rice wash solution and let it sit for a few days to activate (white or brown rice). ------ Mix 1 part activated rice wash solution to 10 parts whole or raw milk. Then let it sit for a few more days for the lacto cultures to proliferate. ------ Once the milk separates into essentially curds and whey, strain out the curds and the extracted whey is the finished Lacto Serum. ------ This serum should remain shelf stable in the fridge for several months. ------ Alternatively, black strap unsulfured molasses can be added to the serum at 1 part molasses to 4 parts serum. This will make the product stable enough for non-refrigerated storage (lasts several months). ------ As for application, the serum can be used as a soil drench or foliar feed at 4mL (~1tsp) per gallon of water. --- Anyways, --- Will check on this in a day or so and am waiting until the solution turns from a flour odor to more of a sweet aroma. - [19:35]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw!! Looking great my ladies! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are raging with more tops! -- [20:37]: Trained the top growth. --- Now starting to tuck mainly tucked Heady OG to spread growth out under the netting. --- Letting TKO stretch through the netting and only tucked the taller tops. Mainly trained the back area (won’t be able to train this once growth starts to ramp upwards) and made sure each square has at least one apical top. --- Also plucked and defoliated the Heady OG’s lower growth. Cleaned her legs and now she’s nice and smooth! --- Wow TKO’s main stalks are huge! Can really reach back area now so going to let her grow. - [20:47]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 45% - [CH01 FT Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 45% - [CH03 BT Ā» G20 - TKO] ------ 46% - [CH04 BB Ā» G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 42% - [CH05 BL Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 47% - [CH07 FL Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 41% - [CH08 FR Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] Ā«| 45 - 60% [Moist] |Ā» 70% [Wet] - [21:34]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! All veg mama’s are thriving and bushy! --- Getting close to the grow light again so time for more training! - [21:53]: Super-cropped and trained the top growth. --- Pinched and bent the taller branches and lowered the canopy by 5-6 inches. - [21:58]: Checked on the propagation dome, --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Clones are growing along and hopefully rooting. --- Heady seems to be struggling, but she is still green. --- TKO is looking great and she is starting to get taller! --- Plan to check for roots in a couple days. --- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with RO water. - [23:07]: Time for a mini upgrade! Got a set of magnetic levels. --- Attached two levels to both the main tent and veg tent’s grow lights. --- Not really necessary, but the added levels will be useful during height adjustments. - [23:23]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 03 - Wednesday - 07/30/25 - Total Days: 108 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.6°F [28.7°C] - Humidity: 82.1% - VPD: 0.72 kPa - Soil %: [49, 36, 48, 46, 43, 43, 43, 44] ----------------------------------- - [23:36]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw!! Looking beautiful my ladies! Wow! This is why we grow! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are looking healthy and tops are bursting through the netting! - [23:54]: Trained the top growth. --- Mainly tucked and continued to spread Heady OG out to fill in more squares in the front left quadrant. --- Did minimal training on TKO. Just letting her grow through the netting and wow growth is raging! --- Wow! The canopy is looking beautiful! - [23:59]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 55% - [CH01 FT Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 49% - [CH03 BT Ā» G20 - TKO] ------ 46% - [CH04 BB Ā» G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 42% - [CH05 BL Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 47% - [CH06 BR Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 47% - [CH07 FL Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 40% - [CH08 FR Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] Ā«| 45 - 60% [Moist] |Ā» 70% [Wet] - [+00:03]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Wow mother growth is raging again! --- Really wish I can flip these ladies to flower, but don’t have the space. --- Plan to start another round of mother cycling soon. Will probably super-crop tomorrow. - [+00:04]: Checked on the propagation dome (in the 3x3), --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Wow clones are growing! --- Heady OG is definitely going through some sort or rooting issue, but growth is still green. She is now starting to show signs of yellowing, so there may be roots, but not sure. --- On the flipside, TKO is crushing it! She looks healthy and perky! The yellowing of the lower growth along with the healthy and perky top growth means there’s successful rooting and the clone is translocating nutrients to produce root growth. I think. --- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with RO water. --- Oh! Also continuing to research tissue culture (TC) and have decided to give it a potential go. --- Shout out to Laur and ā€˜Plants In Jars!’ Her incredible YT videos have been a huge game changer and a highly recommend free resource for anyone trying to get into DIY tissue culture! --- Pretty much now I think tissue culture is the solution to my mother plant issue. --- From the little I understand, tissue culture is basically an advanced form of plant cloning and can be done quite safely at home. --- If done properly, plants suspended in tissue culture can be propagated and maintained indefinitely until needed. --- Each TC sample is basically a mini self-contained mother plant pod. --- Once needed, a TC sample can be brought back to a clone-like state for planting into solo cups. --- Aside from the technical process (which is going to be fun to learn), the largest challenge is maintaining a sterile environment during propagation. --- Anyways! - [+00:10]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 04 - Thursday - 07/31/25 - Total Days: 109 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.5°F [28.6°C] - Humidity: 81.2% - VPD: 0.75 kPa - Soil %: [49, 36, 49, 46, 43, 43, 43, 44] ----------------------------------- - [08:42]: Checked on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Both growth and pots are looking great! - [08:43]: Checked on the propagation dome, --- Clones both look bad and good. --- Concerned about Heady OG, but TKO has been healthy and perky the whole way. - [08:45]: Time to check for roots. --- Heady OG had one tiny root. Not ideal, but was actually surprised to find any root growth. Nice! --- Woah! Nice! TKO is bursting with roots! She’s definitely ready to be transplanted! --- Decided to plant both clones. Hoping that Heady OG will do better in the soil. --- Time to transplant the rooted cuttings! - [09:13]: Took 2 used solo cups (has bottom corners cut for drainage) and labeled each cup (Heady OG BX1, TKO). --- Partially filled each with some fresh (dry) BuildASoil 3.0 potting soil. --- Made sure that the soil was well packed. --- Inoculated each cup with Great White mycorrhizae along with a bit of Beauveria Bassiana. --- Misted the dry soil with a bit of RO water (~3 sprays each). ------ Sprinkled 1/64tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus ------ Sprinkled 1/16tsp of Great White - [09:26]: Time to plant! One clone at a time, --- Placed each clone into solo cups (also removed the clone tag). --- Made sure each solo cup had enough room for more soil. - [09:32]: Inoculated each Coco Coin with Great White mycorrhizae. ------ Sprinkled about an 1/16tsp of Great White onto each Coco Coin. --- Made sure to get the top and sides evenly. - [09:35]: Gently filled each solo cup with more soil. --- Completely covered the top of each Coco Coin and made sure to tuck the sides fairly snug with soil. --- Evened out the top soil. Each Coco Coin is about 1/4-1/2 inch below the top soil. - [09:44]: Added some BuildASoil Organic Straw Mulch to the top. --- Using the small straw bits at the bottom of the bag is great for solo cups. --- Time to water! - [09:51]: Filled a measuring cup with 2 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] ------ Added 1/16tsp of Horticultural Coconut ------ Added 1/16tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1/8tsp of Mycrobe Complete --- Mixed and poured the solution straight into a spray bottle. - [09:54]: Took the dry soil weight of each pheno before watering, ------ Heady OG (BX1) weighed 261.4g ------ TKO weighed 240.9g --- Marked the starting weight on the back of each cup. --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted the straw mulch of each cup. --- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible. --- Misted 5-10 sprays. Waited a few seconds, then misted again. --- Repeated this process until both cups weighed at least 300g --- There was no runoff. --- Oops! --- Had to slightly extend the day period (Lights usually turn off at 10:00). - [10:04]: Took the weight of both phenos after watering, ------ Heady OG (BX1) weighed 301.2g ------ TKO weighed 301.4g --- Marked the saturated wet weight on each cup. - [10:12]: Placed both cups into the propagation dome. --- Removed the side extensions along with the plug tray and have the cups resting in the main drip tray. --- Have the lid and lights suspended above the tray (~00 inches). --- Also increased the propagation dome’s bar lights. ------ Increased the intensity from 1 to 5 - [10:13]: Took general PPFD readings. ------ Clones were around 109 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 7.06 mol/m²/d under an 18/6 light cycle. --- Turned the lights off and made sure that both were back to an 18/6 cycle (on from 16:00 to 10:00). --- Ca-Caw!! Done! --- Not worried about TKO, but getting concerned about Heady OG. Not sure if she is going to make it. - [14:23]: Checked on the Lacto Serum. --- The solution has been resting for 2 days. --- Smelled the rice wash solution through the paper towel. --- The odor has changed from the original flour odor but has not become sweet. However, the smell is getting there. I think. --- Will continue to check and still waiting until the solution changes into a sweet aroma. - [19:24]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ooo yea! Growth is looking beautiful and raging along! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are thriving with growth! The stretch is definitely ramping up! - [20:08]: Trained and tucked the top growth. --- Mainly focused on the Heady OG and spread her out a bit more evenly to fill in more squares. --- Wow TKO by far going to be the largest plant I’ve grown in a 4x4 tent.

Took lower branches that did not reach the top canopy level. --- Trimmed and cleaned most of the nodes leaving the top node or two. --- Did not cut any leaf fingers. --- Made sure the tip of the stalk had a slanted cut (about 45-degree). - [21:02]: Placed both cuttings into the cup of aloe solution. --- Also made sure the cuttings were tagged. Not really necessary, but why not. - [21:05]: Placed the cup into the 3x3 veg tent. --- Have the cup resting in the propagation dome next to the planted clones. --- Going to let these cuttings soak for a day before refreshing with straight RO water. --- Let the two-day soak begin! - [21:06]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 47% - [CH01 FT Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB Ā» G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 50% - [CH03 BT Ā» G20 - TKO] ------ 46% - [CH04 BB Ā» G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 44% - [CH05 BL Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 41% - [CH06 BR Ā» GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 43% - [CH07 FL Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 46% - [CH08 FR Ā» GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] Ā«| 45 - 60% [Moist] |Ā» 70% [Wet] - [21:08]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Looking great in the mother tent! --- Was planning on defoliating and taking new veg cuttings, but since Heady OG is struggling, going to wait a bit longer to start the mother cycling process. - [21:18]: Super-cropped and trained the top growth. --- Lowered the canopy a good 4-5inches. - [21:19]: Checked on the clones, --- Looking great! --- Heady is still struggling, but hoping she’ll perk up soon. --- TKO is looking perfect!

Wow the canopy is thriving! --- Heady OG is looking healthy and perky! --- Wow! TKO is stacking up with nodal branching and crowning is everywhere with perky tops! - [20:13]: Did a bit of tucking on the front left quadrant. --- Could have trained Heady OG another week in veg before flipping to flower, but oh well.

Clones and cuttings are looking healthy! --- Misted the cutting’s cups with RO water. - [19:46]: Back in the 4x4 main tent, --- Decided to tuck Heady OG a bit more and tried to spread the growth in the front left quadrant. --- Growth is going to be uneven but I think the left side will eventually even out. I think. - [19:54]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. - [19:58]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Another week done and the garden is vibing and thriving! --- Next week will be the end of the stretch phase and as growth slows down, will hopefully see signs of budding. --- Ca-Caw! Stoked for this grow and can’t wait until these girls start to flower. - [+02:20]: TKO’s soil sensor cut out again.. --- Swapped out the unit with a new one and re-synced the channel to correct sensor ID. --- The old sensor got water damage. Going to try to dry it out, but really glad I have a couple spare units. --- Also glad that TKO seems to be taking the extra watering without any issue! May try to increase the soil moisture average next week for both pots. --- Anyways! Onwards Ensign! [END OF WEEK 15]

So a bit of a setback this week to report. We took a direct hit from Tropical Storm Ophilia on Friday/Sat and Monday i had a dead limb. Dont think it was the storm though as it wasnt broken at all so im thinking some type of boring worm or something. Chopped that limb off and havnt looked back. Finally saw some sunlight for the first time in over a week yesterday! Cooler temps i have cut back on water from 4 gal/ day to current 2 gal/day. Still feeding top scratch every 3 days or every three waterings. Keeping up with mold and bug issues, very little of either, Lost Coast Plant therapy and BT are my friends. Hope everyone else is having good harvests this fall, till next week!

Harvest - Let me start off by saying how impressed I am with this plant and the flower produced, not only was it consistent with the description but it seems to be consistent across other diaries that i've seen - really top notch job i'd say. Grow: Growing went without hassle, this plant started off it's life from seed being vegged under my hlg quantum board for the first 5 weeks of its life - after that I left it inside under 5-6 hours of direct sunlight to flower, bud chunked out nicely and i am impressed by the yeild considering the amount of light. Smoke: I love this bud, It is truly pleasant to smoke - so smooth you could smoke it constantly without fear of harshness. The creamy and sweet flavor are a real treat. I will definitely be growing this again

Day 63: This should be the last week in veg. It might be a partial week...I'll make the call in a few days. I'm excited to see these babes flower!!! Day 64: Last night I saw what appeared to be signs of overwatering, so I turned off the humidifier and the temp increased immediately and today, they look just fine. I also raised the 150W LED on that side of the tent just a bit to reduce the intensity. This will be the last week for veg. I flipped the other tent, but these babes need just a little longer before flipping. Day 65: They looked pretty thirsty today, so I fed 1 gal of late veg nutes per plant. The soil was very dry according to my meter, so if I overwatered last time, they had plenty of dryness today. Day 67: I came home to near wilting plants! It had been 52 hours since last feeding and I've never seen them this thirsty during this grow. I watered 1 gal/plant again and GZ is showing the same signs of over watering again. The leaf color is fine with zero nutrient issues, so I suspect there may be a root problem. I don't know what else it could be? The photos are about 4 hours after watering. Day 68: The moisture meter showed bone dry again, so I watered a half gallon of water/cal-mag. I also decided to turn off the extra 150W LED sitting above her and just let the main LED do the work for now. Day 69: She was dry again today, so I watered a half gallon of late veg nutes and she's appearing to be recovering just fine. I think the heat in the tent might have been causing some issues as well, so good thing I turned off that extra light for now. Day 70: Last day of VEG!!!

The last of my skunk regular that germinated. No sign of pre flowers however this is looking like a female based on the speed of her growth being very slow.

šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜ Everyones favorite time has arrived. The flowers have started plumping and the frost caking on. The trichs are so long its crazy!! Like hair on tarantula legs!!! The flowers look great and appear to be getting nice and dense. I do want to see peoples opinions on when they remove added co2 from the tent. I should be about 14-21 days away from harvest with my guess closer to 21. I was told to take out the co2 two weeks before harvest by one person. Another says they leave it til the end, he has some damn nice flowers so its hard to argue lol what do you do?? Heres to a smooth finish!! One thing that i think happened was phosphorous toxicity in the one plant. I think thats what i read awhile ago for why it has the brown hairs like that compared to the other 5 plants. is that corrrect?

despite heavy rain again this week plants keep showing its tenacity to grow. Also noticed some leaf claws from nitrogen toxicity, some flushing should fix it
