8/27 I think I mightve been overwatering. It's so hard to tell when the conditions change week to week. That's Maine for ya. Bags were still heavy and plants were soaked. I tried to shake the more advanced flowering plants without sending water everywhere. That's how septoria spreads. The event horizon I treated with plant doctor looks the best it ever has. It's tile for another application on the toasted toffy. I'm seeing a few spots again. I didn't have time to take pictures or do a video. This video is from last night. I'll treat that toasted toffy again today and I'll record it here. After I see it working u may treat the others. I see some residue of k bicarb but it has pretty much eradicated the pm. I know it will always be there but these treatments seem to be working. I'll be adding beastie bloom to my line up soon. EVERYDAY I go over the buds are bigger more compact and dense. Event horizon, toasted toffy and the red runtz (I think) in the 50 are flowering to beat hell! The get bigger everytime I see them. I can smell them as soon as I round the corner. This is going to be a good year. These strainsxare high in thc. Maybe I gave up some mold resistance and a harder to grow strain but if I can make it to the end it will be fire. WENT BACK OVER AROUND 5. OBVIOUSLY IN THIS SCORCHING 80°+ day the seedling in the 10 was dry as a popcorn fart. Some other plants seemed dry when I stuck my arm down the bag but I could feel some moisture when I pushed my finger through the medium. They WILL need water but I'm not giving it to them tonight. Took a shit ton if pictures and a video this morning. I'll uploadcthat shit tomorrow. I'm trying to do a couple right now. Anyway I continued to defoliate what needs it. Flowers are swelling. I GAVE THE TOASTED TOFFY ITS 2ND TREATING OF PLANT DOCTOR. I USED A QTR GALLON OF A 4 TSP PER GALLON MIXTURE. I MADE SURE TO GET AS MUCH OF THE FOLIAGE AS POSSIBLE AND THEN I USED THE RESTCON THE MEDIUM. I SHOULDVE PROBABLY WATERED THAT ONE BUT ITS GOING TO RAIN TONIGHT. AT LEAST I HOPE IT IS. Looks like some of the pics are uploading! Yay! The plants looked the best I've ever seen them tonight so I held off watering. My wife is I'll and may need to go to the hospital. So instead of watering prematurely I can monitor the situation and make a decision in the morning. I made enough phed water for my father to go around and water everything. He is aware of the situation. Hopfully that will not be necessary. However, I don't want to over water and I feel like they didn't want it. Just going with my intuition. It's done me pretty good so far. 8/28 Luckily no hospital. It's sprinkling out. Plants are covered in water so we got SOME rain. It says we will get 0.00 but that can't be right. I watered the 10 yesterday and everything else this morning with a gallon each except the middle gmo in the 30 which got 1.5 gallons. Did not water the one in the 50 gal pot. It looks a little overwatered. Also looks like it has a slight calcium/magnesium deficiency. I'll up the calmag and i'll make sure when I do water I'll water thoroughly. Like usual toasted toffy is looking better after the treatment. The all star has been the k bicarb. I haven't seen shit for pm. Just a little residue from the k-bicarb. Took a video and some pictures. This is the fun time. I like watching the buds develop. Some of these plants were monster cropped so they are STACKED. I'll keep what I do updated. 8/29 Made an awesome video today bit it won't upload. Probably because its a little over 2 minutes. I'll do another one if it won't upload. Nope it won't even attempt to upload it now. Oh well. They flowers just looked so pretty this morning. I noticed some WPM on the event horizon in the middle. I noticed SOME on the bottom and interior of the GMO that I had already identified. I'll do another k-bicarb treatment and see how that goes. Plant Doctor seems to he doing a pretty good job on the septoria on toastedctoffy and my favorite event horizon. That plantvis THICK. it's going to be stacked and have some huge colas. I need to LST it and suppirt those giant colas and separate them a bit more. There is never any shortage of work to be done I can tell you that. I have defoliation to do on the sherb pie and the middle event horizon. It seems like crisis after crisis. Bu my plants are STRONG. 8/30 It was in the 40s at 6am. Shook off the plants. Bags are still heavy. I see some septoria climbing a bottom branch of the toasted toffy. It's foggy as hell out. Can't see a foot in front of me. Saw a LITTLE PM on the gmo I've been treating. It's just time to apply the ki bicarb. Plant Doctor is working wonders on even horizon in the back. I see some pm on the one in the middle. I think I'll treat that with plant doctor as well. I'm not sure. I messed up the video. I've got work to do. I'm waiting until I water and I'll feed again. I'm going to add beastie bloom to the lineup this time I think. Only one plant seems like it m9ght be too early for it. We'll see. I need to look back. I'll document what I do. Video won't upload. I'll try later but it's sideways WENT OVER AROUND 3PM AND EVERYTHING LOOKED FABULOUS. WELL....THE PLANT I DIDNT WATERCLAST TIME IN THE 50 WAS DROOPING SO I GAVE IT A GALLON AND A HALF. THE TEN WAS LIGHT SO I GAVE IT A GALLON. IT WASNT DROOPY BUT ITS A HUGE PLANT IN A 10GAL AND USES A LOT OF WATER. I WAS PLANNING TO GO CHECK THEM TONIGHT AND SEE IF THEY NEEDED WATER BUT EVERYTHING IS PRAYING TO THE SUN! I DONT WANT TO OVERWATER AND I BELIEVE THESE WOULD BE BEST SUITED TO BE WATERED IN TGE MORNING. ILL FEED THIS TIME AS WELL. IM CONSIDERING ANOTHER APP OF K BICARB. TOOK A FEW PICTURES AND VIDEOS BUT ILL NEED TO UPLOAD 8/31 FED AND WATERED EVERYTHING. TOASTED TOFFY DIDNT GET FED DUE TO SEPTORIA AND THE 10 ISNT FAR ENOUGH ALONG.. THE 50 WAS WATERED YESTERDAY BUT GOT THE FEED WITH A LITTLE MORE WATER THIS MORNING. I ADDED ABOUT 1/16 TSP BEASTUE BLOOM TO THE REGULAR LINEUP TO SEE HOW IT GOES. MY BUDDY TOLD ME LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PM. I WENT BACK OVER TO DEFOLIATE AND LOOK FOR PM AND I FOUND IT. ON THE GMO INTETIOR AND SOME BOTTOM BRANCHES. I DEFOLIATED WHAT WAS BAD AND THEN I SPRAYED 3 GMO'S, EVENT HORIZON IN THE MIDDLE AND SHERB PIE WITH K-BICARB. HOPFULLY THAT WILL KEEP THINGS OUT OF CONTROL. I WILL BE WATCHING AND KEEPING UP WITH FUNGACIDES. IF I FIND ONE NOT WORKING ILL SWITCH IT UP. I HAVE A FEW OPTIONS. BUDS ARE EXPLODING IN GROWTH! WINDY OUT. I SAW A SECONDARY BRANCH LIMP AND MY GEART SUNK. I LOOKED DOWN THOUGH AND SAW THAT IT JUST WAS BLOWN HATD AGAINST THE TOMATO CAGE AND SNAPPED. I REMOVED IT WITB A SIGH OF RELIEF. MY BUDDY SAYS THE SEPTORIA DOESNT LOOK TO BAD AND ITS PRETTY FAR IN FLOWER SO HE THINKS ILL BE ALRIGHT. NEVER GROWING CLONES AGAIN. ILL STICK TO SEEDS AND STEAINS MADE FOR MAINES 9/1 Forgot to write an entry. IT RAINED FOR A BIT BUT TURNED TO BRIGHT 80'S 9/2 WATERED EVERYTHING. I THINK ITS TIME FOR ANOTHER TREATMENT OF PLANT DOCTOR TODAY. The septoria is getting a little worse. The buds are swelling everyday though. I think this plant only has a month left. I just need to outrun it. So far so good. I think my watering habits are better now. It's different depending on weather. Potassium bicarb has been wonderful treating the pm on that gmo. I treated the middle event horizon with it as well. It seems to work awesome. I'm losing tons of leaves. I hope that's normal senescence. I think it is seeing as how I see SOME foliage in the woods. Its matching other diaries. The plant must shed some leaves to make these flowers that seem to double in size every time I see them! Trying to upload a couple videos but they are long so we'll see what happens. WENT BACK OVER AT NIGHT ANDCAPPLIED A LITTLE BIT OF K BICARB AND DEFOLIATED WHAT I SAW ON THAT GMO. IVE BEEN DEFOLIATING WHAT SEEMS LIKE A LOT BUT BUDS ARE SWELLING AND ITS CONGRUENT WITH THE MAJORITY OF MY DIARIES. I WISH I HAD PERFECT CONDITIONS BUT I DONT. I TREATED THE EVENTHORIZON WITH PLANT DOCTOR AGAIN. I USED APPROX A QTR GALLON OF 2 TSP/GALLON AND TRIED TO AVOID BUDS WHILE STILL GETTING THE LEAVES. I KINDA USED THE REST AS A SQUALCH SINCE I HAD WATERED THIS MORNING. THE WIND WAS STRONG. I ADDED A GARDEN STAKE AND ROPE SUPPORT TO THE TOASTED TOFFY AND ATTACHED IT RIGHT TO THE FRAME OF THE CAGE. LOOKS GOOD FOR NOW. ILL KEEP THINGS UPDATED.

Often, marijuana growers who have their plants in indoor grow tents or rooms with artificial lighting, take into account parameters such as temperature and relative humidity to maximize plants growth and bloom, thus obtaining abundant harvest with top quality flowers. As we will see later, these factors affect different processes of the plant, such as transpiration or nutrient uptake. However, we usually forget about another important factor that is related to the aforementioned ones: vapor pressure deficit or VPD. Broadly speaking, VPD is the difference between the amount of water vapor that the atmosphere is able to retain (which depends on temperature) and the amount of water vapor contained in it (relative humidity). It is usually measured in kilopascals (kPa). Providing our plants with a correct relationship between temperature and relative moisture will keep us on the right VPD parameters, increasing the plant’s activity and thus improving its growth and showing its full potential during the flowering phase. The ideal would be to adjust both parameters (temperature and humidity) to get the best possible VPD value, so that the development of plants will be amazing.In the chart above you can see the right temperature and moisture values to maximize the development of cannabis plants. The green zone shows you optimal values of VPD, in which it would be ideal to maintain the environment. The orange zone shows correct values, in which plants should not have problems to develop normally. However, red areas show values in which your plants will be very far from hit their full potential, since the relation between temperature and moisture is not optimal. With relatively high values of VPD (between 5 and 12) plants tend to open their stomata and release a considerable amount of water vapor into the environment (increasing their transpiration). This increase in transpiration results in an increase in the plant’s photosynthetic activity, which will need more nutrients and will improve its overall growth, both during growth and bloom. The best range is between 7.5 and 10.5, which we have marked in green. However, we must be careful that VPD is not too high (dark red zone) since the plant would close its stomata to avoid releasing too much water vapor to the environment, which would result in fast dehydration due to excessive transpiration. On the other hand, if VPD is too low (light red zone), the plant will also close its stomata for not releasing more water into the atmosphere, which in this case would be already saturated (it would have reached the maximum water retention capacity in a specific temperature). In this way, reducing transpiration will also reduce photosynthesis, which has a direct impact on the plant’s development and yield. That way, VPD is essential when it comes to offer the best conditions for the development of plants, also to understand its water requirements according to the nutrients used and thus adjust them correctly to meet the grower’s expectations. N/B: SAY NO TO DRUGS -[Day 90] The plants are getting massive, not a lot of space left in the room, each pictures are token back against the wall or on top of a chair. The Super Skunk shall be ready first , the trichomes are visible without using a microscope, the scent is like an amazing candy floss coated with Skunk pee 😅Boerejongens quality @Home 😊 -[Day 93] Switching Buld Lumatek 90000 Lumens 1000PAR to SuperPlant Super Red 85000 Lumens 2000K 1498nm Lightening under the 1500nm wavelength (2000K) just between the NIR and the Microwave length, can't stand in the room too long without getting tears and shining eyes. Buds shall start to blowup like pineapples, increasing yield. -[Day 98] Everything is getting frosty. Starting to decrease RH . -[Day 103] Today the Y Griega started to push on her terpenes, believe it or not that plant smell stronger than the 6 giants Skunks (the Skunk strain is already a very strong smelling plant), she smell like a coffeeshop front door, the fragrance is absolutely amazing and fantastic, I will definitely grow a full crop of that strain ! -[Day 105] 42 days of Blooming folks ! It's getting serious now 😄 If it can helps you to realize, each plants gots 4 side and a middle, each sides gots 4-6 buds and there's 5-6 buds in the middle, there's 11 plants of 1,60m/5.25ft, how many buds does it makes ?? The correct answer will win 1 like 😅😂😅😂 -[Day 106] WEEK 7 of flowering, the end is close my friends, I'm trying to give you the best shots as possible, I wish I'd could share a good smoke from this crop with you guys ....😉 -[Day 113] WEEK 8 starting, every beginning has an end, this is where the Fall is gonna start. -[Day 115] LADY'S AND GENTLEMEN !!! In the Indica's category the winner is .... ruuuuummmmmbbbbbllllleeee ..... VANILLA KUSH !!!!!! I've seriously tough the Super Skunks will be ready first, but Vanilla Kush has shown milky tric's after 52 days of Blooming, waiting for some few ambers tric's before starting the Flush.

1/30/2023 - Day 28: beginning of week 4. All plants are doing great. They all seemed to react great to the first topping. The two Grand Prix are definitely more stretchy. The Ice Bath and Frozen White Runtz already have some nice braching starting, but they have a slight droop today. Think I may have slightly over watered. I'll give them all a few days to dry down. Will be transplanting into their final 3x3 bed in another week or two. Just chopped and dropped the cover crop last week, so letting that mulch in a bit first. 2/1/2023 - Day 30 veg: mov3d the plants into the 3x3, but just placed them on top of the bed for now. Foliar fed all four plants with 6.5 ph water and Pure Protein Dry. 2/2/2023 - Day 31: watered with a mix of ThermX-70, Rootwise Mycrobe Complete, FishShit, BuildASoil Big 6, Rootwise Bio-Catalyst, and Yah-Whey. 2/3/2023 - Day 32: started my weekly IPM. Foliar spayed each plant with warm water mixed with Tweetmint Plant Wash. Also, the droop I was experiencing the other day, which I thought was the plants being thirsty, may have been something else. I think they might be slightly overwatered. They still have been drooping and the growth seems to have slowed. Letting them dry out more before I water again. I would like them to be a little healthier before transplanting again. 2/5/2023 - Day 34: all the pots were feeling light today, so I watered all 4. Water was a ph of 6.5, mixed with Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja Extract, Yah-Whey, and FishShit. I also checked the roots before watering and they are ready to transplant. I did not have enough time today, but plan to get then into the 3x3 bed next week.

Starting to see a good bit of stretch going on. Filling out pretty quickly from the pre flower defoliation. Been taking a couple bigger fan leave every couple days.

OMG! (Oh My Growers) what an adventure we have here! Looks like in a few weeks we'll be deep in a zenzational jungle! 😍 They're definitely comfortable, I can notice the roots and mycorrhiza combo just taking over the soil. Leaves are branching out and getting think which is great to see, not as thick as I'd expected though. Next week they'll be transplanted to final 11L fabric pots. Happy Growing!

it took two days for the root to generate and a little less for it to come out of the ground once planted
