Every day is a joy when I take the lid down and see how the lady comes to life 😊. She is developing great :-) It only had to be poured once with 300 ml because it is under the hood with a very high humidity :-). The hood was sprayed every day. I think I'll start training this week :-). Otherwise, as always, the humidifier was refilled and the entire tent was cleaned. I wish you a lot of fun with the update :-).

Unfortunately, one of the two seedlings succumbed to the intense sunlight exposure of a single day and exhibited classic signs of stress and stem damage, succumbing within the first week. With only one seedling remaining, I decided to proceed by faithfully following the established nutrient schedule. Here are the nutrients administered: May 8th: 250ml of water 0.5ml of RootJuice 0.5ml of BioHeaven 0.5ml of Activera EC: 450 nS pH: 6.5 May 10th: 350ml of water 1ml of RootJuice 1ml of FishMix 1ml of BioHeaven 1ml of Activera EC: 850 nS pH: 6.5

These ladies are developing very nicely, the left and middle one already started to bulk heavily over the course of the last week, while the one that got wind stress is trailing a little behind and will probably take a little longer. For the other two I would guesstimate that I can start flushing by the end of the week. The trichomes on the two are completely milky, however with no signal of amber yet

My nine Week 7 flowers are thriving under the new GrowPro Solutions under-canopy lights. The lights have really brought out some amazing colors in the buds. It's so cool to see how much they've changed in just a day! I'm excited to see how they develop even more in the coming weeks.

Man, I whipped these girls into shape! They got an amazing lolipoping~! its hard to sacrifice some of those branches but they look so much better for it and i hope it better allocates the plants resources! Did a big defoliation that really changed the way they look!

2.2 Plants have been moved into the tall RoyalRoom tent. Tent sits inside Ikea PAX wardrobe, I use RuuviTag meters for temperature and humidity monitoring and a couple UPS devices as a backup power for exhaust fan & led light. I have planted Alfalfa and red clover as a cover crop, also trying out Blumat digital soil humidity meters this round. PPDF at canopy level is at 400-450umol/m2/s, there is a possibility to swap out the solo led drivers for one big one if I want more power for flowering. 3.2 I tied down the tallest branches to the fabric pot to even the plant out, also gave the pots a little Raw nutrients B-vitamin foliar spray. 4.2 Worms added to pots and gave both plants 1L of B-Vit water. 7.2 Tied down the plants, also gave the right side plant 2 litres of water today, 1L for the left one.

SIMPLE TO GROW. BUT I GOT MINIMAL RESULTS. I THINK I GROW AUTOS BEST IN TENT. I DIDN'T GET THEM TO BECOME BIG. THEY STAYED PRETTY SMALL. AROUND 10-12 INCHES TALL AT MOST. WASN'T RESISTANT TO CATEPILLARS UNFORTUNATELY. IT'S ONLY END OF JULY. IM IN SOCAL. ITS GONNA BE A HOT LONG SUMMER. IM SURE I CAN SQUEEZE IN ANOTHER CYCLE OF AUTOS. I'LL SET SOME OUT BEGINNING OF AUG. I HAVE ANOTHER 5 PACK, I MIGHT AS WELL GROW ANOTHER BATCH.

Everything is still going well overall. I’ve always had an issue with a Cal/Mag deficiency that I had to monitor for some of the plants. Otherwise, they’re swelling nicely — the Green Poison is starting to look really good and is showing signs of maturity, earlier than the others. I’m starting the flush on all the plants since I’ve fed them well during the grow, and I think they still have enough nutrients left in their systems. The smell is very strong, and the buds are dense and resinous — it’s looking promising.. I’m going to start applying my stress technique on the plants by inserting screws into the stems and using a small scalpel to remove some bark along the trunks, in order to push the resin production even further.

I fucked up drying. Room RH is 80% plus but I had fans running.. usually, locally, I cant get my dries to go longer than 3 - 5 days.. been drying for 5 days but with the humidity being at 80% - 85% inside the lung room and tent she hasnt even began to dry. Plus, I havent been able to trim her up yet.. just been jiggling the jar around a few times a day and keeping the jar open, inside the tent with an exhaust fan running and another usb fan moving air.. but not blowing on the buds at all.. but around the jar.. so nervous to get mold!!! Drying still.. but day 3 in jar.. She is still way too wet to be jarred. I have just been shaking the jar around like 4 times a day MINIMUM and keep the jar in he tent with air flow.. humidity is still being a butthead.. but easing up a bit.. down to 70%-ish.. when I do seal the jars, it still reads a little over 70%.. I will keep doing this until I get to about 65% or possibly even as high as 68%.. as long as I keep up the burping.. but so far, I just leave the lid open and keep it in the tent with a couple fans running.. no mold, so she should be good.. still gonna keep flipping the buds a few times a day.. this is going to be some DANK! already tried a few nugs.. still alot of chlorophyll, but she is slowly getting to the cure zone!!! Drying day 14.. Finally got the jar down to 65% RH.. that took alot of rolling the jar (to move buds around).. at least 4 - 5 times daily for this entire time I trimmed the buds and put them into the jar waaaay too early.. no mold tho.. and the buds dont tear apart anymore. They should start to crumble (kinda) in the next 2 - 4 weeks.. but going to see how things (including weather) are going to go if I only burp once or twice daily. I kinda want to bring the RH down a bit still.. like 62% 🤔 ah shit, I'm so indecisive lol.. probably leave it at 65% for a couple days and then try to get it down to 63% or 62%.. but once I see 59 or 58%.. it should still be good, but I get worried because I have overdried MANY harvests.. just trying to get things dialed in with drying and curing still.. even 4 years into this stuff! Lol.. but I'm getting a better hang of it.. kinda using my own methods mixed with what I find online.. just hard to judge when the plant is ready by snapping stems.. ive waited till the smallest stem I could find was making the "snap" noise.. but when I did that, the RH in the jars was only at 55% and lower.. the taste and smell were completely gone halfway thru the cure.. ive read that anywhere from 55% to as high as 70% RH is good.. but even at 70% I still have wetness issues.. buds and stems tearing.. still tastes like pure chlorophyll.. but since I've been kinda getting my dries dialed in, so I try to UNDER DRY to get buds to about 70% (that's in jars, not room). I really feel like this doesnt get explained enough in forums and online.. they tend to leave out some very important details.. like what to do when you overdry or underdry your flower.. if its too low, its trash. A 62% boveda and/or integra boost humidity packs can only do so much.. they have helped me, but only if the jars are still above 55% RH.. anything lower has completely removed terps within 2 weeks or so.. but yeah. In 4 years of trial and error (and yeah, forums and other grow diaires), I have found that it is better to UNDERDRY and either burp the jars MULTIPLE times a day (at least 4 - 5) or take them back out and let them dry for another 8 - 12.. maybe 16 or even 24 hours.. depending out how wet the flower still is and the drying area. Anyways.. im stoned and just finger fucking my keyboard here.. but this is very useful info that I have found works for me.. if people dont agree, hey thats cool too.. then these are just notes for myself later 😋 OK, I'm done now.. will keep updating as I go! About 5 days into curing... Got the jar down to 62% - 63% RH so I can stop burping so much.. maybe a short burp twice daily for a week then slow it down to once a day and eventually just stop burping. Been keeping my hand out of the cookie jar for the last... 2 maybe 3 days. I'm going to try and only test a nug once a week to get a feel for how quick its curing and how much better the taste is from the previous week. Did this last grow and each week was a huge difference.. even at week 6! But she was more than ready at week 4!.. not sure how some can cure in 2 weeks unless you get it really dry.. which makes me nervous cuz at 55% RH, I've had horrible results. Trashed the whole remaining harvest.. this is why I like to try and keep the RH a little on the higher side (68% or 65% or so and slowly bring it down to 62% or 63%.. also called the "pre-cure" phase) but I want this harvest to hover around 62% for as long as possible because 62% seems to be the magical sweet spot when you leave them there for the entire 4 weeks.. just my experiences.. Buds aren't very dense, but I'm pretty sure thats due to harvesting a week or 2 too early 😢.. and leaving her in te dark for another 5 days or so before harvesting.. oh the horror she endured toward the end of her life.. she was a fighter tho.. no mold.. in ANY of these super high RH weeks she went thru during the most vulnerable parts! Harvsting, drying and pre-curing.. but not 1 speck of mold 😁 About 10 days into curing.. Yeah I wish I could have let her go another week or 2.. yield was defintely hurt.. quality could be better.. but it will do for now.. live and learn.. I seem to say that every grow 🤣 but still a nice, decent stoney, still pretty decent tasting smoke.. going to just do some small, short burps for the next week or 2. Want the RH to still come down a little.. but if not, meh. The RH (outside and indoors) has been high again.. but luckily I was able to get the RH in the jar down to 62% - 63% RH.. i just burp the jar for a few seconds.. remove the hygrometers and flip the buds.. then put the hygrometers back in, clos up the jar and let it sit till the next day. RH is so high in the room that it raises the RH in the jar a little. But they always go back down to 62% - 63% RH.. good deal. Waiting for a dry day to burp outside for a few minutes. Need to invest in a powerful dehumidifer.. ugh.. Somewhere between 3 and 4 weeks of curing... Yeah definately shows that I harvested early. Still an ok smoke. Could have been fatter.. could have been tastier.. definitely NOT Ethos fault. Kicking myself for not letting her go 1 - 2 more weeks. Wasnt by choice tho.. life happened and she had to be chopped. Just ready for a little warmth and I will begin the next run!!!

2020-08-17 Beginning of Week 9 of flowering! Wow! The buds in the middle are getting super frosty now and I noticed that I had some colas that had dipped below the light canopy. They're now back up on top! I am still giving nutrients as I don't see many amber trichomes yet but I am going into the tent without the LEDs on to take some more updated pics. Don't wanna miss my window as I prefer to be stimulated instead of sedated by cannabis. Hoping this strain delivers. IF anyone wants to comment on the 'readiness' of my buds for flushing (or not flushing) please leave a comment or message me! 2020-08-23 Updated with this week's entire set of pics! Trying to take more with the lights off and just the flash to capture the trichomes. Looks like the sugar leaves have more amber trichomes. I've been advised by at least one person that it's time to harvest. Still looking for more opinions! Cheers.

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

She is doing her thing gave her a good defoliate again to open her up. She had 3 x half ml doses of pk on top of 3ml bloom over the coarse of the week. Pk dropped bloom kept at 3ml. Overall very impressed halfway through this week in the video and boom baby she’s getting there

She grew slow in winter and flowered hard in spring
