Weeks 7-9 Days 42-63-5 Both phenos got defoliation done to them and opened them up for fattening. They've stopped putting upwards hight and on day 42 I done their only heavy defol and put them back under my P1000 (100W led) which did this plant from start to finish. Kept steady feeds. The last 4 days or so it was put on water. After 6hrs dark rest both were chopped and hung upside down. (More indepth 3 week review) Phenos at the end of week 6 here, finished preflower both are around 62-65cm. Been the general hight for my other 2 pheno pot grow . Then on day 42 I done a hard defoliation and just put them back under the light for 3 weeks. Steadily kept feeding Xpert Nutrients but not in the way I should have. But, for the short time (9 weeks) and just making sure that the substrate never ran dry. I got some decent results. Again these were more tests. As I like to see how breeders phenos react in similar environments and you can't get closer than being in the same pot, got 2 small but more or less twins of Auto Fractal, giving me around 45-50 dry grams Nutrients were given sparcely but always made sure NPK feeds were no longer than 3 days apart. Had I given everyday and focused more on flushing etc. Id of gotten bigger phenos. But, it was a test. And I got to try their autos and now know that I'm most cases you won't get 7-10g plants. Just give enough space and don't stress and you'll get big autos. Put on good bud mass just under a 100w in a crowded tent. Got really fruity bud and overall very happy with my 2 small lush phenos 1st 2pheno (separate strains, autos kabul/opium also showed how steady the genrics are I've got a 5 pheno SCROG of Euphoria fem by Divine coming along nicely. I also have a white widow auto by divine in an 11L pot and its really big its still weeks out from being done. Proving to me. Their gentics are 🔥 and give good results if you put in the right effort.

Bounced back from the repot and defoliation (to get the light penetrating the lower flower sites). Started giving sugar royal ready to flick to flower. Really happy with the internodal spacing on this strain. Hoping for a decent yield. Will be flipped to 12 hours this week. Excited about the next 10 weeks! 30/11/23 UPDATE Added 2ft tube heater to try and bring the temps up abit. Tied down the girls, training should've started earlier but ive struggled for time. Last day of Veg - tomorrow will be 12/12 Gave a good feed including Power Bud and brought pH up to 6.4 (tell tale signs of deficiency due to possible low pH at the roots)

Flipped to Flower this week. First day of 12-12 light cycle was 10/04/21 Did some defoliating half way though the week. Kept tucking taller shoots under the scrog net. Also installed a dehumidifier near the end of the week becuase I couldn't get the humidity to go below 65%.

Daily report: Day 1. Watering: NO Stats: Humidity: 70% Temp: 27.2 Notes: I want to see how often should I water Heracles. I fucked up with pH and maybe with watering frequency. I want to fix that. Also set the board to 100%. Day 2. Watering: NO Notes: Defoliation went a bit too aggressive, but it looks fine and I hope that it will help weaker stems to grow faster. I will let Heracles to heal tonight and feed her only tomorrow's morning. Day 3. Watering: 5.7 pH 1550 ppm (1.25 l + CalMag) && 5.8 pH 1320 ppm (2.3 l + CalMag) + 5.7 pH 1120 ppm (1.6 l + CalMag) Total 5.15 l => 5.9 pH 1720 ppm (1.25 l) Notes: This morning pot was completely lightweight and dry. Heracles looks amazing. Day 4. Watering: Night - 5.8 pH 1190 ppm 3.5 l (+CalMag) => 6.0 pH 1890 ppm 0.7 l Notes: New leaves still has yellow marks between veins. I don't know what should I do with that - neither MgSO4 foliar nor CalMag in the mixture helped. Currently 1.5 days is the comfy period for feeding schedule. Day 5. Watering: NO Notes: I found signs of overfeeding (and not only me found that), so next mixture will be less concentrated to let Heracles relax. Also, I bounded all tallest stems to the net to place all the grow spots at the same height. Day 6. Watering: Morning - 5.7 pH 761 ppm 4.5 l (0.75% of Base +CalMag + 1 l of plain water) => 6.1 pH 1750 ppm 1.1 l Notes: I am still trying to create a flat screen of greens. Very excited of flowering stage, it's almost here. But wtf is going on with ppm in drainage?! Day 7. Watering: Night - 5.8 pH 1040 ppm 4.0 l (0.75% of Base +CalMag) => 6.0 pH 1930 ppm 0.8 l Notes: I am run out of a free space in my growbox. Why does not blow starts?

Week 9 (27-3 to 2-4) 27-3 Temperature: 25 degrees (lights on) 18.9 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 63% (highest) 55% (lowest) Added 15L to the reservoir. 28-3 Temperature: 25.1 degrees (lights on) 18.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 56% (lowest) 29-3 Temperature: 27.2 degrees (lights on) 19.4 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 67% (highest) 48% (lowest) As you can see on the pictures, the Chemdog #2 has a flat stem. I dont know how, but the same happened with the grow before this one, but to a Biscotti from a different seed bank. I never seen this before, so i am really surprised to see this happening back to back. Does anyone know if its just coincidence or can lightstress or LST/HST cause this? 30-3 Temperature: 25.3 degrees (lights on) 20.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 54% (lowest) 31-3 Temperature: 25.8 degrees (lights on) 20.8 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 56% (lowest) Today i decided to turn of the reservoir/autopots. I think the plants are overwatered, and because of that probably have light stress and other problems. Also, it can be that i underfeeded them, and that the PH was too high. I turned the light down to 40% strength aswell. 1-4 Temperature: 23.6 degrees (lights on) 20.6 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 57% (lowest) 2-4 Temperature: 22.6 degrees (lights on) 19.8 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 56% (lowest) No pictures.

7/11 Got half in of rain last night. Glad I didn't water. Ph of rain water is very acidic. Added supports to the blueberry cheese in the 50. I just used string and went diagonal and attached to the cage. Wrote a ton but it disappeared. Anyway looking at previous diaries I was wrong about senescence. It wad the life cycle of those earwigs that did that to my plants (see other diaries). This soil mix is amazing. These plants gave only gotten like two small feeds of big bloom. I showed my commercial buddy and I'll keep it between us what was said but it made me feel really good. I'm considering either expanding the cage in one direction with some lumber I already have or moving a couple outside tge cage. That way I have more room. He said he's seen plants structurally similar reach huge heights (14f) so I'm just trying to avoid future problems. I at least need to get the trellis on. I hope poor that's food enough. Did a real nice video this morning but nothing wanted to upload and it just uploaded the same one twice. I'll try again and hopfully it will go up. If not I'll put it up tomorrow. 7/12 Dad has surgery this morning. I did a quick video and took some pictures. I need to do some rearranging with the plants and cut a pallet to fit in the back. Then I can put a vertical trellis up. Haven't decided if I'll add on to the cage, remove a couple plants or just rearrange things but I'm leaning towards the later. They will need water again and I'm wondering if I should start nutrients but everything looks so good. By this time on past diaries I'd be losing all my leaves bu now. MI think it wad part ear wigs and part to many nutes. This soil mix is taking these plants through veg. I'll probably do a feeding soon but it will be organic and it will he small like a big bloom or ancient amber. Im leaning towards not using growbig this year as my plants seem to be doing great without it. We'll see. I'll keep this updated. UPDATE: Went back over and gave plants a full watering. Some were slightly drooping. I was going to add nutes but decided against it as I didn't see any deficiency. So far NO Earwigs! I comed through the plants and I did find a jpn beetle which I happily killed. I mixed up 8 gallons of water and gave it to the 11 plants so it wasn't quite a gallon a plant. I need to rearrange the plants so I have room to move around. I also need to cut another pallet and use the spaces I'm not. Trellis needs to go up. 7/13 I think I've got the watering amount down. Now just to find how often which will depend on weather. I've watered very little this year. They loved that gallon. I was going to use big bloom and kelp me/you but looking at my garden I decided not too. My buddy asked what i was addingvthings for and to wait fir what i added to do what I wanted it to do. I see no nutrient deficiencies so why add anything? I think this soil mixture will get me all tgexway through veg. I dont plan on using much in fliwer either. Definitely good genetics. I really need to cut that palley and move the 1 10gallon to the far back coener. It will open thibgs up so much better. The garden looked so beautiful this morning. Getting very aromatic. I started untangling trellis netting but had to leave. I'll update what I do. Happy growing folks UPDATE: Went back over as I had a slight intuition that I needed to check the garden. I found and killed at least 7 jpn beetles. That's what's been making holes. They tried to escape and bounced off a tarp but I got it. I went through the interiors and found two pillars. If these beetles are gonna be around I'm ordering a net. I'm also close to positive I'm going to extend my cage in the back a few feet. Things are getting unmanageable in here. My buddy said I'll be having problems soon if I don't do something. I'll document what I decide to do. 7/14 Found ONE jpn beetle in the garden this morning. I can manage those well enough. The birds help too. I check my garden multiple times a day so I manually remove many pests. However I've noticed some thrip damage on a leaf and a leafhopper damage on "A" leaf so there are "some" pests around but not enough to spray shit. A couple wasps were doing there job while I was there. Supposed to get thunder storms after three and tonight. Supposed to get over a half inch of rain tonight. I lifted the bags and decided to hold off and let mother nature take care of it as the bags weren't totally dry. Only problem I really have is space. I AM moving that 10gallon (that's the same size as some 20's) in the back. There's 27in not being used and a few feet the other way. My buddy cautioned me that I'm going to have problems since my plants are so crowded. I agree with him. I spoke with me father and we have most materials to extend my cage four feet in the back. I think that's my plan. I'll extend the structure before the stretch then I can put up the supports. We'll see how this goes. UPDATE: Went back over to check the girls as I had a feeling I ought to. When I got there I saw that a couple of the blueberry cheese were pretty light (liftng the smart pot) but the others seemed to be fine. ONE 10th planet was light like that and the purple punch in the 10 gallon was as well. Each plant thar needed it got at least a half gallon of water. I'm waiting to see if we get the thunderstorms and the half inch of rain. I watered the MASSIVE blueberry cheese in the 50 but I only gave it 1 pitcher which is like 1/4 gallon or so. Don't know why I even gave it that. Looked fine but the soil WAS pretty dry. Next year I'm giving myself way more room. I was running trying to chase these jpn beetles. This time I have the dawn and water and a measuring cup to knock them in. This ain't my first rodeo. I did notice some bright yellow streaks on a leaf edge and I'm hoping it's not septoria. I doubt it but I have an anxiety disorder and I worry. I hope I can get the cage extended sooner rather than later. It's getting hard to move in there and more importantly I can't take any more plant pathogen problems. I'm considering starting a plant doctor regimen just to be safe. 7/15 Got a bunch of rain last night. No jpn beetles in the garden and not really much damage. I did notice this (I think it's leaf hoppers) that leave those dots close together on a leaf so it appears I've got a variety of pests. I'm considering how to approach this. I mean the damage is very minimal but I don't want it to get out of hand. Another thing I need to look out for is leaf septoria or any other fungal pathogens. I believe that has been part of my problems in the past. I think that's what caused my earlier grows to drop all their leaves so quick. I think I'm being overly cautious but its very crowded in there. With my father just getting out of surgery the girls will need to wait a little bit before before I can extend the cage. I could still cut the pallet and move the 1 10gallon and that would give more room. I rearranged a LITTLE BIT so they have a little more room but I've really got to get this cage extended. UPDATE: IT Rained so hard I had to pull the car over. We hydroplanned the whole way home. After working ob my house I went to see what the damage would be like. NOT A SINGLE BREAK THAT I COULD SEE. I took a video but since the wifi here sucks I'll have to upload it tomorrow. Walking around in the cage even if I cant get it extended I think I'll be OK. It obviously will open me up to lots more issues but at the very least I can reorganize before I build on. The 10 gal purple punch would fit perfectly in the back and I have a pallet I can cut to fit it in place. Putting that one back and pulling the others forward will be much better than what I've got going on now. I'm also thinking about running an extension cord and putting fans under the canopy or at an angle to keep the wind moving. Just thinking outloud. However after that storm the girls looked as happy as I've ever seen them. All happy praying to the sun, thankful for the much needed rain. Mother nature does a pretty good job with out me messing with it. I've noticed a couple interior lowest leaves turn yellow and die like a nitrogen deficiency but everything else is fine. Also noticed a leaf that looked like a p deficiency but again, it was the VERY bottom leaf on ONE plant. Again the rest of everything looks fantastic. I'll keep an eye out for anymore nutrient deficiencies and if anyone that reads this sees some please let me know. I should've taken stills since they looked so good but I got it on video. 7/16 It POURED last night and throughout the day. TORRENTIAL rain. The branch breaking sheet rain that us outdoor growers learned to fear. My plants aren't trellised currently. I know what I need to do now. I have a pallet to put in the back corner and I'm moving the purple punch in the 10 there. And pulling others forward where there's more room. Then when I extend it (it's gotta be done this week) everything g will be in their proper place and I can just throw on a vertical trellis. I also noticed more (leafhopper) damage on a leaf. Different leaf of the same plant so I'm considering spraying something. I have a number of products but I was trying not to use them. Luckily I have these diaries so I can look back and see certain plants reactions to certain nutes or fungacide/insecticide/nutes and the doses used. I haven't been using much but if my plants will remain cramped I'm going to start the plant doctor. I'm seeing more pillar damage too but BT is super narrow so I'm thinking when I fo spray for pests I might use cap jack and be done with it. Then I can apply the BT in flower if it's necessary. I took a video but I have to wait until tomorrow to upload. I took a quick snapshot though. 7/17 Despite the torrential rain I don't have any breaks. I'm noticing more pest damage though. Another leaf on the same plant had those closely shaped round circles. I forget what pest it is but it's there. Caterpillars are there I'm sure so I may do a preclcentative spray. Just unsure what I'm going to use. I lost a COUPLE very bottom interior leaves that look like they just got used up. After this rain I think think the plants might benefit from a feeding. Probably next water after they dry out. I REALLY need that cage extended. I expressed that today and it should be done this week. I'm looking for pallets today. I have the little one that I can put in the back which will allow me to move the 10 gallon and move the other forward. That will help some but I need more room. I'll update as I go. UPDATE: GOT A SMALL PALLET AND IT FIT PERFECT IN THE BACK ROW. I MOVED THE PURPLE PUNCH IN THE 10 GALLON ONTO IT. I SHIFTED A BUNCHVIF THINGS AROUND. I ROTATED ON BLUEBERRY CHEESE 180 DEGREES SO IT WOULD FIR BETTER. CROP ROTATION IS GOOD ANYWAY. I TOOK VIDEOS AND YOU CAN NOW SEE THE ROWS MUCH BETTER. 2 WITH 3 and 1 WITH 4. IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN IT WAS. I CAN GET AROUND ALL SIDES OF EVERY PLANT NOW. GRANTED THE LARGE 50 IN THE BACK IS GOING TO HAVE SOME TROUBLE BUT ILL JUST STAKE IT TO THE CAGE. IT WILL GROW TOWARDS THE SUN ANYWAY. IM SUPRISED I DIDN'T LOSE A BUNCH OF LEAVES AFTER THIS RAIN. MOVING THINGS AROUND AND LOOKING ON THE INTERIOR OF PLANTS I FOUND A COUPLE LEAVES THAT HAD BEEN USED UP. I REMOVED A COUPKE LEAVES THAT HAD DONE THEIR JOB. I'LL UPDATE AS I GO ALONG.

Decided to start my #1 favourite strain so far! 😍 It will be interesting to see if I 'overrated' it last time or not. In her 20 litre airpot is a mix of new compost : new canna terra : perlite in a 3:3:1 ratio by scoop. Also I should mention I riddled the brand new compost AND Terra soil through an approx 6mm 1/4" screen. This makes the soil wonderfully soft. I've not done this on my recent grows, lets see if it makes a difference or not. She is 7 days above ground now.

This week went real well ! Today is day 50 an these girls are doing 😀! Switched up the nutrients a little bit , instead of 3tsp of Floragrow they get 1 tsp now, and on the Florabloom they will get 3tsp instead of 1 ! Not much changes at all just those an that’s all! 2 of the wedding cheesecakes decided they were gonna stretch out a bit but no problem raised the up the other girls a little bit so it is all growing the same size an they are all loving it! They are starting to smell real nice can’t wait till further into to flower but we are getting there ! Hope you all enjoy, keep those eyes peeled for next week Happy Grows! ✌️If there’s any questions feel free to ask me!! Cheers

The first experiment I decided to do on the mother plant is a two-tiered pot. I cut the Cup and put it in a plastic plastic canister, wrapped with tape the upper tier of the pot, so that the light does not interfere with the roots, but the lower tier I left open, to nablidat for the development of the root system and show you. I also cut the four lower large vegetative leaves so that they do not interfere with the access of light to the side branches. Now the plant is 2 weeks old, it has been living in a new house for 3 days and has already adapted and taken new roots.

La SF2000 spinge al massimo da qualche giorno e si vede che c’è una bella copertura nella tenda (4x4) cerchiamo di farle stare bene perché le 4 gorilla 🦍 hanno avuto carenze importanti perché ho fatto dei pasticci verso la 4 settimana, speriamo che riescano a riprendere il meglio possibile…le altre tre piante più giovani invece vanno che è una meraviglia 🤩, ora iniziano a mangiare come si deve

Very frosty and the buds are dense. She is starting her fade. I removed all the old leaves and moved her away from the fan. She is really bulky. The buds are so thick and heavy

Indian kush roots are taking off on day 12 of veg in the dwc pots under 315cmh in 1.2 tent The black hell and black apple hitchcock and the kukulikan are still dragging there feet.
