Very happy with the progress of this one. She has a lot of tops and is starting to build some buds. I gave her a 10 gallon flush and fresh nutrients. Started them on some liquid Koolbloom. The run is pretty much on autopilot at this point. Just going to keep the juice pumping to them and keep an eye on them to make sure they are happy. Nutrients per gallon .75 tsp maxibloom .2 tsp liquid koolbloom .5 tsp calimagic .25 tsp armor si .1 tsp 90/10 humic/fulvic acid

4/13 SEE LAST ENTRY on germination BEFORE READING THIS WEEK. Like I said I didn't listen to my intuition and a rat got to one of my ethos 10th planet. All plants have been transplanted into solo cups with mycos with happy frog as the medium. The peat pods were all dried out it seemed. Must be were the humidity changed when i moved them last night. Substrate will change to a mix of roots organic, hf, and ffof when I plant up. I hope I have these lights high enough. I am using two 150 hps lights to grow these seedlings as best I can before they go outdoors. Rh outside today is like 36%.Forgot my timer but I'm coming back. Hopfully this will go alright I'm excited. 4/14 Aerogarden lights are way to weak. Plants have stood right back up after I put them under the two hps lights. I was worriedcabout damping off but so far everything looks good. Lights turned on perfect. Rh is 70 temp outside is 50. It reached 75 but well probably get another noreaster. Hope the good weather keeps up amd I'll have am early planting season. UPDATE PLANTS LOOKED GOOD AT NOON TIME. NO WATER. ILL Be here tonight and check again tomorrow. The plants get quite a bit of light from that window 4/14 and 4/15 plants seem to be doing better. The solo cups that were light I dipped the very bottom of the cup in a cup of water about an inch. The cups that were lighter I gave two reasons of water around the edge of the cup. No more water I guess until it dries out. I'm not used to doing seeds. Kinda depressing looking at my last few diaries during this time and seeing huge clones not seedlings. Whatever at least they won't have tons if shit wrong with them. It's been beautiful. I'm really looking forward to this season. UPDATE I CHANGED THECPOSITION OF MY LIGHT FIXTURE. I LOWERED THE LIGHT AS SOME PLANTS SEEMED TO HE STRETCHING. AFTER VIDEO CHAT WITH A COMMERCIAL GROWER I CLOSED THE BLINDS. I HAVE AN ANXIETY DISORDER SO I WORRY A LOT. I AM USING HPS BULBS BUT ITS ALL I HAVE FOR NOW. IM CONSIDETING PICKING UP A CHEAP LED LIGHT. HOWEVER, THE COMMERCIAL GROWER ALSO TOLD ME TO DO "WHAT I NORMALLY DO." WHICH I AM. I KUST GOT A LITTLE LATE START ON AN EARLY SEASON. 4/16 Despite the cups being a little dry I'm going to wait to water. When I do I think I'm goingvti soak the cup from the bottom up. Plants are really starting to take hold. Stretching a bit due to the hps bulb but that's just going to give them a strong stem. Plus I have the sky as the limit. I need to say these things as I feel like I'm behind. I have some autos I might run too. UPDATE: I watched several videos on watering seedling in solo cups. I weighed a Dr cup of soil and it was 196 grams. I weighed wet soil and it was in the 300s (hadn't totally drained). My seedling security os weren't much more than the dry soil. 207, 220 ect. Some were a little higher. I TRIED to water from the bottom up earlier by sitting the cup in a bowl but it didn't seem to work as well. Instead I phed my water and watered all the cups. I used two regular water bottles (16oz?) For the 14 plants. I'm glad I came over to check. Soil was dead dry on some and breaking away from the cup. I got run off in the trays and dumped it. I did this multiple times but im unsure if i got it all I'm just worried about dampening off or over watering. Plants look good though and are starting to take off. I'm hoping for the best. UPDATE AGAIN LOL. I got the feeling I wanted to check things out again so I went over and shut all but one if the shades. Why I didn't do that one I have no idea but since that deep watering earlier today the plants have SHOT up in size! And it's not like they're stretching. It looks it but the stalk is fucking strong looking and thick lol. The colors on the leaves have taken a much better tone and the tertiary leaves have now begun to develop at a pretty good rate! Using this scale is going to make watering much easier! 4/17 One light is brighter than the other. I can tell. The four under one light were drier on top and weighed less. I just plan on rotating the trays that way they will have what they need. Stopping at a commercial grower to show footage and ask questions. If I need to I will buy another light bur this had worked good for me in the past. I can't believe the plants shot up that much! I even say tertiary leaves on some of them! They went into a paper towel like the night of the eight so they aren't even week old seedlings. However, my cousin had seedlings later than this last year and he still had some plants that were bigger than mine! I weighed my cups again and everything seems OK. I think. I may need to water more often. I'm keeping a close eye on it. A fan is blowing GENTLY from far away. UPDATE: Went back over around five and I'm not sure it's one light brighter. I think maybe those big fat Ethos seeds are just drinking more water. Got the scale out again and used a different scale to measure. 180 for a dry full cup of soil. Yesterday was 196 dry cup? Soaking wet its like 350. Soil that looked dry and weighed like 220 240 got a little bit of water. I checked and there was no run off. Plants are stretching due to the HPS bur the stalk looks thick and strong. Healthy. They have a great vibrant green color and tertiary leaves are starting. 4/18 The 10th planet seedlings seem to bexdrinking more water than the others. Everything looks good and healthy. I didn't have much time this morning but topsoil was dry and cups weighed low 200's so I watered the seedlings a little bit. They probably need a full watering which I'll do when I get back. I used one bottle of water on the plants that needed it. I need to keep an eye on the soil on the solo cups. The two 150hps lights def dry the soil out faster. 4/18 Plwnts are doing great. Everything has tertiary leaves now. Stretching a bit but that's probably due to the HPS. I'll be lowering it soon. One bottle of water gives each ofvthe 14 seedlings a shotglass of water. I'll keep an eye on them and when they need a bigger drink I'll give it to them. Those Etho's 10th planet seeds are off to the races! I took pics but I did it in "work" mode and since my email is at a university I have difficulty uploading the pictures. If they don't come out I'll just put some up tomm. Also I noticed a piece of seed stick below the pool of one seedling. I wantedcto make sure it wasn't a scale but but its not. I sprites it and hopfully it will just fall off. I'll keep my eye on it. Pots are washed. I need to wash grow bags and my structure. I also need yo poison the area the ear wigs live.

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. 84/14 Fun with Filters VPD was controlled at reduced temps and RH today - RH now set to 55% max and Temps are 75F at max Over night allowed down to 67F when lights go out. Lights were good and same as yesterday with some light LST PPFD at 750 down to 550. I used 20 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR with 15 before and after main lights on/off. She's now about 25" tall and 35" wide. Also took some black back and shadow pics for fun (no filters or sharpen only) Day 85/15 Feed Day I gave 2 gallons of de-chlorinated tap combined with 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix total 600ppm and a ph of 6.4. Foliar sprayed some on the outer leaves and left the tent door open to help dry them. (took like 15 minutes with the fans.) top soil ph checked at 6.22ph and run off was at 5.74 with 1580ppm Lights at a range of 750 to 500 Ran 25 minutes of UV and the standard 1hr IR with 15/15 before and after lights on/off and 30/30 at that time. VPD was easy to manage with the doors open and then the fan seemed to have to work more today but just more often and not high fan. Day 86/16 Humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. Tips carried a little burn on them today, some all over which makes me think nute burn because ppfd was 550 to 750 as it has been for a few days now and there are tips on leaves with little direct light showing burn as well. Will continue to monitor as well. IR and UV are set on timers and I screwed up with mine today. I was supposed to change the setting and forgot (time change screwed me up and I thought I did it when I changed timers that needed correction) until it was too late and ended up giving her 30 minutes of IR and 1 hour of UV... will have to check/monitor for effects tomorrow. The good news is that she's had a little over two weeks with UV so maybe not so bad. (fingers crossed it doesnt stress her too much) Day 87/17 Again, humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two de-humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. If I open the tent for a while I can get the humidity down by about another 5% so tomorrow I plan to leave it open after I feed again. Took some light burn from yesterday's extended UV exposure, but read that it's not bad to take on some stress from UV in flower, especially if you still have time to recover. The pros suggest that you can stress her to grow defensive systems that may create thicker/stickier leaves and flowers with more terpene production. The cons however suggest that it could stress too much and stunt the growth or in extreme/sudden cases, cause her to herm. (thus why they say in mid flower is best if you plan to stress with UV) So it is what it is. I will monitor the leaves that took damage and likely remove them this week when I defoliate schwazz style. I still resumed the schedule of increasing UV as planned but ahead a few days now so 45minutes of UV and 1 hr IR with 15/15 before and after main lights on/off. Day 88/18 Lots happening today. Firstly, I found a split today... on the main stem trunk, so I used superglue to seal the cracks and held together while it set. Then I wrapped it with heavy duty gorilla tape, two 1ft pieces as both a clamp and a support on the other side. I then tied each cola to the inner ring. So then I decided that since I am here having to work on this I may as well go ahead and do the defoliation I was planning for tomorrow. Schwazze style defoliation (at least my interpretation of the method without having to buy the book, super defoliate week 1 and 3 of flower - so almost) Then after that I also preformed heavy strength training - I broke each cola right under the bud sites that I left and bent her outward. I then upped the lights ever so slightly and have a max of 850 ppfd and low of 650 ppfd now. She had 45 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR same routine, IR on/off at main light schedule with 15 before and after main lights. VPD is better now that I placed another open air vent at the bottom, this one is 6 inch. I also placed the fans a little better to blow directly on the leaves left behind. Low speed for now, but as the leaves come back I plan to increase to get dancing leaves in the middle too. Temps were 74F and RH 55% with the ILV set to auto. I plan to feed 2 gallons of 650ppm 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix. Since my last ph was really low I am going to increase the feed to 7.0ph - not sure what if anything I can do about ppm. Day 89/19 VPD was normal with the exception of holding the tent open as I said I was going to today. Temps at 74F and RH mostly 55% with the ILV set to auto. PPFD also checking in with the same settings/results today, 880 to about 650 ppfd. UV was set for 45 minutes midday, and IR with the same 1 hr with 15 minutes before and after main light on/off. Water feed today with about 2.25 gallons of 7.0 ph de-chlorinated tap diluted with 25:75 ratio of veg/bloom mix (690 ppm total) watered until drip started and I got about .25 gallon runoff. Runoff measured 5.75 ph and 1630 ppm (top soil tested 4x with avg of 6.35) Next feed will be a plain water salt flush. Plant looked so nice a day today that I decided to take some more black back pics. Day 90/20 VPD and PPDF were fine today with normal settings of 74F/55%RH/Auto ILV - PPFD ranged from 550 to 750 because of HST on the limbs. This will be the last stress I give her and hope it wasnt too much. Hoping this all results in a big yield and not a herm.

This girl is turning out to be a very impressive Beast exotic colours and her smell at fruitiness with a air of skunk it's quite remarkable there's really not much to say about her except that she's cruising through at great speed and looking like she is on steroids remarkable genetics from sweet seeds. From now on I don't think I'm going to be able to take her out of the tent because those huge branches are filling up with big heavy flowers . One interesting note about this girl is that she does not drink that much water and does not require much nutrients looking forward to see this girl finish thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

A warm, sunny week has come to an end, without rain. Please tell me how it is possible that the two Fractals are so far apart in time. Fractal 2 has almost reached its full bloom, smells incredibly good and strong, while Fractal 1 continues to grow and still has small flowers. They are easy to care for, get flower fertiliser and some wood ash and are watered twice a day. PH value is 7. Fractal 1: 131 cm Fractal 2: 108 cm

Week 10 - Fifth Week of Flower The Donutz tent is stepping into its fifth week of flower with some exciting developments and a few surprises. The plants are thriving, and the vibes remain immaculate as the grow progresses. Key Updates: Purple Phenos: 3-4 of the plants are starting to show stunning purple hues in their buds and sugar leaves. The color shift adds a beautiful contrast to the tent and hints at the unique expressions within the Donutz genetics. Different Phenotypes: While most of the plants are stacking up nicely, 1-2 phenos are a bit on the thinner side with less bud density. It’s a reminder of the natural variability in genetics, but there’s still time for them to fill out in the coming weeks. Environment & Care: Stable Conditions: Temperature, watering (reverse osmosis), and overall care are dialed in perfectly. The plants are enjoying a consistent, stress-free environment with plenty of love. Healthy Growth: The rest of the tent is looking strong, with vibrant buds and trichome development continuing to ramp up. Observations: The purple phenos are a standout feature this week, bringing extra visual appeal to the tent. Even the thinner phenos are showing healthy structure and potential to develop further before harvest. Trichome production is increasing, and the tent is starting to radiate that sweet, sticky aroma. Next Steps: Continue monitoring the thinner phenos to ensure they’re getting enough light and nutrients. Maintain stable environmental conditions and nutrient levels to support bud development. Keep a close eye on trichomes as they mature, watching for any signs of ripening as the grow approaches the final stretch. The Donutz are flourishing, and the tent is alive with color, aroma, and promise. The Florida Gang grind is paying off big time — the finish line is in sight!

This week you could see the bud sites starting to really show :) Did some heavy defoliation but again you can't tell by the pictures Pheno #1 and #2 were growing so tall and were stretching every day it was hard to get the lights any higher. Soon they won't be able to go any higher. Feeding schedule stayed constant for most of the grow. See previous weeks

Va increíble, a pesar de que tardo para entrar en floración, nunca detuvo su crecimiento y logré hacer un LST super chingon de modo que logre que todas las puntas estén masomenos a la misma altura, así todas recibirán bastante luz y crecerán muy bien 🤤 ya me las imaginó 💪🏻🌲

Day 30, the ladies seem to like the increase in Co2. I’m still battling the mysterious leaf spots. I sprayed them with Neem Oil just in case it’s some kind of fungus or septoria. This should stop it from spreading if it is. Still maintaining a 6.0 pH. They get a nutrients change in a couple days, I am going to give them a full dose of CalMag, it’s recommended at 5ml/gal and I’ve been giving them 4ml/gal. It’s RO water so CalMag is definitely needed. **I have solved the mysterious leaf spot issue. It’s a Calcium deficiency 100%. Going to raise the pH to 6.2-6.3 and give them full doses of CalMag and see how they respond. Upped their feeding this evening and changed their res. #1&2 are getting 7.5g/gal of each V1 and V2 from FloraFlex nutrients. #3 is getting 10ml/gal of Advanced Nutrients MGB, and 8ml/gal of B-52 Day 31, decided to give the girls a little trim today. #2 and #3 more specifically because they had huge fan leaves blocking out light to some lower sites. Hopefully this doesn’t endure too much stress on them. I’ve also had the lights dimmed this whole time, decided to amp it up to 100% power. Will update again in 2-3 days to see how their responding. Day 35, #1 was showing brown spots again, I think I may be giving them too much nutrients. I dropped the PPMs from 1080 to 880 and adjusted the pH because it was dropping. pH has stayed stable over past 24 hours, plant doesn’t have any affected new growth. I gave all the ladies another trim as they were getting pretty bushy. Still not officially flowering yet they should be starting here really soon though. I’ve never grown an Autoflower before but I’ll learn.

Day 51 : Watered with 2.5L each lady. I added as always 1 co2 tab per 4.5L . Also i added nutrients. The next one will be pure water. As i predicted she wake and stretched 4cm in main cola and many points the side branches. Also her buds started to fatten. Edit (Day 56) : Watered 1.5L pure tap water of 7.5ph and 360ppm. No co2 today. Just pure water with 0.5/L Cal-Mag. Buds are fattening nothing else.

6.4.25: FastBuds Mystery Seed #1: She has been topped twice and is looking pretty strong 💪 She has grown vertically, and leaves are always praying. Possibly too much light, so I have turned the dimmer down to about 90%. There are slight bleached tips on a couple of top leaves. I'm hoping to do the same LST with garden wire here very soon. Overall, the plant has nice big, fat leaves. Seemingly lush colour and vigorously growing since the double toppings. Very nice plant so far. 👌 13.4.25: This week has been so busy in the garden! I forgot to take any notes, so I'll see what I can do from memory! 😅 14.4.25: I have been super busy with all the other harvests in the past several days, so this is a little late. FastBuds Mystery seed #1 has been topped twice and the growth has been thick and lush. I watered several times this week, and I used Ecothrive Biosys with dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. I watered about 2 litres to each plant. I have been using wire, clips, and Bio stretch fabric plant ties to LST the plant. The plant has reached the 8 Gallon pot perimeter. The plant is in the first week of flower. I'm hoping to keep the canopy even with my RQS Northern Lights grow as I need to be able to compare the plants accurately for the experiments. I did snap off a branch, again the day after I said I'd be very careful 😖 The plant is very resilient though, and you wouldn't know anything happened at all, minus one of the first tops is missing. Thankfully I topped twice, so I still have 5 tops. Training Techniques used this week are LST and defoliation. I watered on 13th and 14th with the following solution; 4 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 which contained: ♡ 8 ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids ♡ 1/2 Teaspoon Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients. PPM: 1000. 2 litres were given on two consecutive days. I watered in a top dress, which I will add what I used here, but it was another mess up, I'm sure you'll be surprised to hear 😅 Top dress: 4 gallons containing approximately: 50% Canna Terra Mix soil 25% Worm Castings 23% Perlite 2% Organic Dry Amendments, which were; ☆ Ecothrive Life Cycle ☆ Ecothrive Charge ☆ Diatomaceous Earth ☆ Ground Cinnamon ☆ RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules I used the top dress amount for established plants for a pot size of 30L / 8 Gallons. I'm not keen on the soil. I was supposed to get Canna Coco but I got sent Canna Terra in error. It was overdue for a top dress and I had nothing else to use. I don't like it in comparison. Coco is best for my needs. It's much fluffier, lighter, and easier to work with. Thanks for hanging out 🍃 ✌️ 💚 🙂
