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: ~31”, 27” 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 ‘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 ‘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 ‘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 ‘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.

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 » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 50% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 47% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 40% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 41% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 40% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 44% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 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 » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 45% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 46% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 42% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 47% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 41% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 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 » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 49% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 46% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 42% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 47% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 47% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 40% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 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 ‘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. She’s extremely dense with healthy tops shooting up everywhere! --- Since I’m not tucking TKO anymore and she is getting taller, need to take readings and measurements. - [20:38]: Took the weekly general PPFD readings. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was still around 361 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 15.60 mol/m²/d under a 12/12 light cycle (at ~326.5W). ------ TKO was around 365 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 15.77 mol/m²/d under a 12/12 light cycle. - [20:40]: Took the weekly height and light distance measurements. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was still about 21.5" tall. ------ TKO was about 26" tall. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 31" away from the grow light. ------ TKO was about 27" away from the grow light. --- Since Heady OG is clearly struggling to root, going to take a few more lower cuttings to make sure the genetics survives. - [20:52]: Filled a measuring cup with 1.5 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/8tsp of Horticultural Aloe --- Mixed the solution and poured it straight into a solo cup. - [20:56]: Time to take the cuttings! --- Using a pair of trimmers (AC Infinity), --- Gently cut 2 small cuttings from Heady OG (BX1 #1). 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 » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 50% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 46% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 44% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 41% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 43% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 46% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 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! She’s perky and I have no doubt that she’ll root just fine. --- More worried about Heady OG. - [22:08]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Let’s go ladies! Wow the garden is packed and looking incredible! --- Heady OG and TKO are looking perky and stretching through the netting with nodal growth everywhere! --- By far my healthiest grow cycle yet! - [22:21]: Did a bit of training. --- Slightly tucked and spread Heady OG a bit more to fill in the front left quadrant. --- Just going to let the rest grow! - [22:25]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 52% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 54% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 46% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 44% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 41% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 46% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 48% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [22:34]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! The veg garden is beautiful and wow growth is raging! --- Wow! The canopy is already stretching upwards and will probably need to train again tomorrow. --- Checked on the clones, --- Nice!! Growth is all around healthy and looking great! --- Heady OG looks less droopy. I think. --- TKO is looking perfectly healthy and already getting taller! Wow! --- Nice! Both Heady cuttings are looking healthy and not droopy. - [22:38]: Time to swap the aloe water out! --- Replaced the solo cup with a clean one filled with fresh RO water (1.5cups). --- Going to let this soak for another day before transplanting into Coco Coins for rooting. - [22:44]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/02/25 - Total Days: 111 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 82.6°F [28.1°C] - Humidity: 83.2% - VPD: 0.66 kPa - Soil %: [50, 36, 50, 47, 42, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [07:59]: Quick morning check on the propagation dome (in the 3x3 veg tent). --- Ooo yea! The clones and cuttings are looking healthy and green! --- Heady OG (BX1 #1) is droopy and seems to be recovering. I think? --- TKO is looking healthy and looking beautiful! --- Nice! Both Heady OG (BX1 #2 and #3) cuttings are looking good! These cuttings are quite a bit smaller than the last round, but they are healthy and green! - [20:06]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! 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. TKO needed to be flipped. - [20:32]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 45% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 66% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 47% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 47% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 44% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 42% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 43% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] --- Needed to swap out the batteries for TKO’s top soil sensor (CH03). --- Apparently there is a slight flaw with the programing on the WittFlows. Since the watering function is based on the channel and not the sensor, when TKO’s top sensor cuts out, the new CH03 (which is TKO’s bottom sensor) takes over. --- Anyways, - [20:38]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Veg garden is looking beautiful and wow top growth needs more training! - [20:53]: Super-cropped the top growth a bit. --- Lowered the canopy a few inches. --- Growth is getting out of control! Wow! Need to take cuttings soon to start the cycling process. --- Anyways! - [20:54]: Checked on the clones, --- Wow clone growth is looking very good! --- Heady OG seems to be recovering nicely in the soil and I’m getting more confident that she’s going to make it. Nice! --- TKO is looking great! She’s going to root and will be ready for transplant in a week or so. --- Both Heady OG cuttings are looking healthy and ready to be rooted! --- Time to plant the second round of Heady OG (BX1) cuttings! - [21:13]: Filled a measuring cup with 1.5 cups of RO water. ------ Added a pinch of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] ------ Added 1/64tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1/32tsp of Mycrobe Complete --- Mixed the solution thoroughly. - [21:17]: Dropped 2 Coco Coins into the measuring cup. --- The coins immediately started to expand. ------ [ ~10 MINUTES LATER ] --- Took each fully saturated Coco Coin and temporarily placed them in half-cut solo cups. --- Using a squeeze bottle filled with Clonex, - [21:38]: Gently filled each pre-made hole with Clonex rooting gel. --- Time to plant the cuttings! - [21:43]: Using a pair of clean trimmers, made a final 45° cut. --- Also stripped and scrapped some of the stem’s outer membrane. --- To help with planting, gave each Coco Coin a squeeze to loosen the coco. --- Made sure to insert each stem straight and snug with the tip about a 1/4 inch from the bottom of the Coco Coin. --- Also secured the stem by pinching and pressing in the sides of the Coco Coin. --- After both cuttings were planted, --- Temporarily took the clones out of the propagation tray. Also placed the plug tray back in. - [21:53]: Placed both Coco Coins into the propagation dome’s tray. --- Since these cuttings are both identical cultivars, no need to really name. --- Added 1/2 cup of RO water to the bottom of the tray. --- Since I’m not using the dome lid (which is currently hanging above the tray), misted a couple of clear cups with RO water. - [21:55]: Covered both cuttings. --- Will need to mist the cups for the first few days in the tray. --- While rooting the cuttings, noticed that both clones (Heady OG BX1 and TKO) need to be watered already. --- Let’s go! - [22:02]: Took the initial starting weight range of both clones before watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 #1 » 261.4g → 301.2g ------ TKO » 240.9g → 301.4g --- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet] --- All phenos were last watered 2 days ago. --- Took the starting weight of both clones before watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 weighed 278.2g ------ TKO weighed 253.5g --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted the straw mulch of both cups with RO water. --- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible. --- Misted 10-20 sprays. Waited a moment, then misted again. --- Repeated this process for both cups. --- There was no runoff. - [22:18]: Took the saturated weight of both clones after watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 weighed 278.2g ------ TKO weighed 253.5g --- Marked the final wet weight on the back of each cup. Also marked the watering date on the front. - [22:27]: Placed both phenos back into the tent. --- Done! Grow strong little ones! - [22:33]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/03/25 - Total Days: 112 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.1°F [28.4°C] - Humidity: 83.0% - VPD: 0.68 kPa - Soil %: [48, 37, 49, 51, 42, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [08:13]: Quickly checked on the propagation dome (in the 3x3 veg tent). --- Wow the clones are looking incredible! --- Heady OG is looking better and she’s still recovering. --- TKO is looking healthy and getting bigger. Nice! --- Both Heady OG cuttings are also looking healthy and look better than the first attempt (the recovering clone). --- Misted both cups with RO water. - [19:06]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw!! Woah these ladies are definitely in full stretch! These girls are getting taller by the hour! Wow! --- Heady OG is looking beautiful and she is exploding with upwards growth! The middle of the canopy is basically at the same height as TKO. Incredible! --- Ooo yea! TKO is crushing it! Wow! She’s a good 7 inches above the scrog netting! --- The canopy is getting stacked with nodal growth! This garden is ramping up to be my best grow cycle yet! - [19:14]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 54% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 37% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 50% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 41% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 41% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 47% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 47% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 49% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [19:16]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Wow veg growth is raging with health and vigor! --- Mothers are looking beautiful and canopy is bushy! --- Nice! 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]

She is getting harvested today. She looks great and loaded in frosty flowers. She grew fast and well. Thank you Zamnesia seeds, Medic Grow, and Hon&Guan. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

the girl is unstoppable !!!! she keeps trying to escape :) today I'm going on vacation for a week, so she's left alone with the automatic watering :) update will be in a week:).

Great first harvest. I took her out of the tent a little early but I'm still happy with the results. The last two days the plant was under total darkness. I will update with dry weight and more details of the nug in the next weeks. Just hung up the stalks to dry. Thanks to the people who helped with my fungus nat issue as well. Ended up with 107 grams of dry nugs, couldn't be happier. Can't wait for my new grows!😎00

Plantas saudáveis, ótima qualidade, estão reagindo muito bem a alimentação, regas todos os dias e alimentação todos os dias,.cheiro doce

Day 16-27/12/21 all looking great!!!! Day 20-31/12/21 all looking good just waiting for some space to free up in another tent and I’ll move half of them!!!

Zdar Bando . Začínám 5 týden a přidal sem 1 ml pk od hesi, teď vše po 2 ml/l. Jinak proběhla defoliace, příští kolo možná vezmu ještě víc listí. Zálivka co 2 dny 3l na kytku. Začínají být už cítit tak budu muset dát pacháč 😁. Zatím snad vše ok. Tak další hlášení za týden .

Good week same as last time couple more tears, some more major then others. But the original first snap seems to be healed so im confident with tapping they would heal fast. Going to be cutting for clones because i want to flip into flower ASAP going ti transplant into 5gallon first. Also ordering a new LED. Amazon led did okay for the budget but its time to see what i can really do! Very excited 🤠

Another stellar week and the quality inn f these genetics shines through. She's been very thirsty, I'm filling this micro sump about every other day and keeping the nutes right at around 1200 EC with a pH of 5.75... seems like her sweet spot. Nice consistent lime green coloring and a very kerosene candy nose on the stem rub. I think this lady and I are going to go down in a blaze of glory once this grow/dry/cure is done. She has really taken well to LST and hasn't been overly offended by the removal of her larger fan leaves. I see a few pistils starting to emerge at the top bud and on a couple lowers, so it's about to start going down for real!

Last week before harvest. I started checking the trichomes and they are looking amazing. Cloudy, milky big mushroom head tricks. Not so much amber yet but I feel that will change pretty quickly with the temp drop. I will keep checking them daily and when I feel there's a good ratio between amber and cloudy I will harvest. I think im going to try the 48 hour darkness method. I've also heard of splitting the stalk and taping it up to stress it out a little bit. If anyone has tried this method and has experience with it let me know down in the comments. Big frosty buds with an incredible powerful aroma. Such beautiful plants all around. Thank you @Seedsman for your amazing genetics. Im honored to be able to grow and showcase your product! Let's do some haze next!

Nothing to report. Seedling. I use chop sticks to hold up the plants until they are strong. Prevents them from blowing over.

These smell very strong now, Final week, she gets ripen already for 2 days now, so next week harvest Not the biggest buds but rockhard and super frostyyyyyy

📆 Semana 10 La fase final avanza con cogollos muy densos y bien formados, terminando de afinar su compactación y carga de resina. Los tricomas se mantienen mayoritariamente lechosos con aumento progresivo de ámbar, acercándose al punto óptimo de corte. El aroma gana intensidad y profundidad, definiendo su perfil final. La planta reduce su actividad y se centra en la maduración, mostrando un ligero consumo de reservas en hojas grandes. Cultivo estable y bien encaminado, entrando en las últimas dos semanas. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

So far it seems to be fine even if the high humidity worries me even if the temperatures are still high then they have stopped growing and will finally focus on the flowers and slowly we recover these small deficiencies

This week is dedicated to finalizing the pot and nutrients for the rest of the lifecycle, looks like it took to the nutrients very well not much new upwards growth but new leaf sites appeared!

Anesia Seeds - Chimera Cut, hello everyone! Our beauty is 60 days old, and she looks absolutely stunning. 12 days ago, we pruned and tied down her branches, and the results have been fantastic. You can see for yourself by checking previous weeks and comparing. This lady has quite the appetite, and Xpert Nutrients are clearly to her taste. Just look at the color and shape of her leaves, and it’s obvious that this lady is surrounded by care and love.

Looks like buds r going slow super cheese is on track nice rop colas

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 6 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno A (Folder 13A) Welcome back everyone to another week inside Project Blue Tent! If this is your first visit, welcome aboard. This project is all about exploring the incredible Blue Waffle F1 genetics from Zamnesia while putting the complete Zamnesia ecosystem through its paces. Rather than documenting four plants as one diary, each phenotype receives its own weekly report, allowing us to appreciate how identical F1 genetics can still express their own individual personalities despite growing under exactly the same conditions. Every week we observe how each plant responds to training, nutrition and the environment, slowly building a complete picture of who they are becoming. As I always like to say... We're not just growing plants. We're getting to know them. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Six – Filling Every Corner This week has been all about patience, consistency and allowing the canopy to slowly take over the tent. Plant A now stands at approximately 60 cm tall and has spent the entire week doing exactly what I hoped she would do after installing the SCROG net. Rather than stretching vertically, she's investing her energy into filling her own corner of the screen with healthy new shoots. Every day I spend a few minutes gently guiding the tallest branches back underneath the net, encouraging them to grow horizontally instead of racing upward. For anyone unfamiliar with the technique, SCROG (Screen of Green) is designed to create one large, even canopy instead of allowing a few dominant branches to tower above the rest. By weaving each branch beneath the screen, every future flowering site receives similar light intensity, producing a much more uniform canopy once flowering begins. It's not something you do once. It's something you do a little every single day. Little by little the branches spread, new shoots appear, and before long the entire screen begins filling itself. Plant A has embraced the process beautifully. She isn't fighting the training. She's working with it. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant Development Opening the tent each morning has become incredibly rewarding. The lighter green colour we observed a couple of weeks ago has completely disappeared, replaced by rich, healthy foliage from top to bottom. The adjustment we made to the feeding schedule has clearly been exactly what these ladies were asking for. Plant A now looks vigorous, balanced and full of energy. Her leaves are broad, healthy and beautifully coloured, while the new growth remains vibrant without showing any signs of nutrient stress despite running an EC that some growers might initially consider relatively high. One thing I've learned over many years is that nutrient strength isn't about following someone else's numbers. It's about listening to what your own plants are telling you. Right now these girls are telling me they're happy. So nothing changes. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Environment Despite the middle of summer bringing consistently warm weather outside, the environment inside the Blue Tent continues to remain remarkably stable. This week's average conditions were: • Day Temperature: 30°C • Night Temperature: 27°C • Relative Humidity: 58% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.92 mS/cm • CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • Light Schedule: 18/6 • PPFD: approximately 350 The small difference between day and night temperatures is something I'll be paying attention to once flowering begins, as warmer nights can encourage additional stretch during the early weeks of bloom. For now though, while we're still focused entirely on vegetative growth and filling the SCROG, these conditions continue producing exactly the results I'm looking for. One challenge at a time. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding Program The feeding schedule remains unchanged because the plants have shown absolutely no reason for me to adjust it. This week's nutrient solution consisted of: • Hydro A – 1.9 ml/L • Hydro B – 1.9 ml/L • Hydro Roots – 1 ml/L With only minor pH adjustments where required. Although an EC of 1.92 may appear relatively high to some growers, the plants couldn't be giving me clearer feedback. Rich green foliage. Strong stems. Rapid vegetative growth. Healthy root development. Plants don't read feeding charts. They simply tell us whether they're happy. And these girls certainly are. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ The SCROG Continues This week the screen has really started showing its purpose. Every day I continue tucking the tallest branches back beneath the net, encouraging lateral growth while allowing slower branches to catch up. The objective isn't simply to keep the plants short. The objective is to create dozens of future flowering tops all sitting at roughly the same height. Once the screen is almost completely filled, we'll perform one final defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration before flipping the tent into flower. We're getting closer every single day. Nature is building the canopy. I'm simply guiding it. ──────────────────────── 🐛 An Unexpected Visitor This week also reminded me that no matter how careful we are, nature always finds ways to surprise us. While inspecting the plants I discovered a single caterpillar happily enjoying one of the leaves. Considering how strict I am with hygiene before entering the grow room, it genuinely caught me by surprise. I always shower, change into clean clothes and do everything possible to avoid bringing unwanted guests inside. Yet somehow... One tiny traveller still managed to find its way from the vegetable garden into the tent. Thankfully, regular inspections meant the problem was caught immediately. The caterpillar was removed by hand, the damaged leaves were cleaned up, and an IPM (Integrated Pest Management) inspection was carried out across the entire grow. IPM isn't simply reacting when problems appear. It's creating regular routines that help prevent small issues from ever becoming large ones. Observation is always the first line of defence. ──────────────────────── 🛡️ A Little Extra Protection To finish the inspection, I also used the Future of Grow UVC LED bar as an additional preventative measure. UVC light can help reduce unwanted spores and microorganisms that may have found their way into the grow room, making it another useful tool within an overall IPM strategy. It's important to mention that UVC must always be used responsibly. Direct exposure can damage both plants and skin, so proper precautions and eye protection are essential whenever working with this type of equipment. Used correctly, however, it becomes another valuable layer of prevention rather than waiting for problems to appear. As always... Prevention is easier than treatment. ──────────────────────── 💙 Plant A's Personality Every phenotype has its own way of growing. Plant A continues proving herself to be one of the most balanced girls inside the Blue Tent. She isn't trying to dominate the canopy. She isn't rushing toward flower. Instead she's quietly filling her own space with healthy branches, beautiful leaf colour and excellent structure. Every week she seems more comfortable with the training, and every week her corner of the tent becomes a little fuller. She's exactly the kind of plant that rewards patience. ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead If everything continues at this pace, I expect the SCROG screen to be almost completely filled over the coming week. Once that happens, the next major milestone will be a final clean-up and defoliation before flipping the tent into flower. Until then, the daily routine remains wonderfully simple. Tuck the branches. Observe the plants. Keep the environment stable. Let nature do the heavy lifting. Sometimes growing isn't about doing more. It's about knowing when to simply stay out of the plant's way. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these outstanding Blue Waffle F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A massive thank you to Plagron for providing the Premium Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line, which continues delivering beautiful, healthy growth week after week. A special thank you to Mars Hydro for the drip irrigation and automatic drainage system that keeps watering both simple and reliable. Thank you as well to Future of Grow for the excellent UVC LED bar, which has now become another valuable tool within my Integrated Pest Management routine. And finally, thank you to GrowDiaries and to every single person following this journey. Whether you're here to learn, share your own experience, ask questions or simply enjoy watching these phenotypes develop, I genuinely appreciate every visit, every comment and every conversation. Hopefully next week we'll have a completely filled SCROG, perform our final defoliation, and prepare these beautiful ladies for the moment we've all been waiting for... Flowering. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💙
