🌿 Sour Diesel — Catch-Up Report (Weeks 2.5 → 4 | 12/12 Transition) First — a quick word to everyone following the diary We want to start this update by apologizing for doing a two-and-a-half week report in one go. This is not a change in transparency or process — it’s simply to bring Sour Diesel back in sync with the rest of the room. All plants are evolving under the same tent, same environment, same rhythm. Having one diary lag behind doesn’t serve the journey — so we’re catching her up, cleanly and honestly. Thank you for understanding 💚 ⸻ 🌱 General Behavior & Growth Sour Diesel has been growing beautifully. • Strong, healthy structure • Deep green, lush foliage • No stress signals • Calm, confident growth She transitioned into 12/12 smoothly and is now fully sharing the same rhythm as the rest of the room. ⸻ ✋ Training Response (Week 3) Training started in Week 3, using only: • leaf tucking • gentle leaf bending No aggressive techniques. Her response was excellent. By the end of Week 4: • She became noticeably bushier • Leaves increased in size • Side branches began to push outward and upward • Branch length reached roughly 4–5 fingers, which is perfect for this stage Nothing exaggerated, nothing forced — just natural structure opening up. ⸻ 🌸 Flowering Signals (or lack of — and why that’s okay) Despite being under 12/12: • No visible flowering signs yet • No pistils • No true flip signals This is expected. Why? • She had ~15 days of 18/6 vegetative phase • She’s now completing ~2 weeks of 12/12 • Sour Diesel often hesitates, then commits fully She feels close — almost like she’s thinking about it. We expect clear signs very soon, likely at the start of the next week. Ending this week: ➡️ bushier ➡️ more structured ➡️ clearly preparing ⸻ Nutrition & Autopot Reality (Important Note) She is currently being fed the same vegetative recipe, with one key adjustment. Autopots & organics — the reality Some of the inputs we normally use are organic / biological. These work beautifully with: • some gravity feeding • hand watering • living solutions But they do NOT work well in irrigation systems like Autopots. Why: • Living inputs can settle • Cause build-ups • Create pH fluctuations • Reduce line consistency • “Alive” water doesn’t like being stored or recirculated So for now: What she’s receiving • Plagron Terra Grow only in the Autopot system • EC lowered to 0.8 (instead of 1.0) • Even though NPK is present, we keep EC conservative • No boosters in the reservoir Occasional top feeding Once or twice, when watering the rest of the room: • She received the full recipe via top watering • This is likely how we’ll continue once demand increases Flower will bring higher needs — we’ll adapt when she asks, not before. ⸻ 🌬️ Environment No changes here: • Temperatures stable • Humidity stable • Airflow unchanged Everything remains identical to the rest of the room, so no need to repeat values. ⸻ 👑 What to Expect / What Not to Expect Expect: • A clear flip soon • Stretch after commitment • More expressive structure than some of the others • Increased nutrient demand once flowering starts Do NOT expect: • Instant pistils just because she’s in 12/12 • Heavy defoliation yet • Aggressive feeding right now • Identical behavior to other cultivars Sour Diesel does things her way — and she’s doing them well. ⸻ 🌿 Final Notes She’s healthy. She’s calm. She’s aligned with the room now. This Queen is not late — she’s intentional. Thank you to everyone following this journey, and thank you for allowing us to keep the diary honest, educational, and paced by the plant — not the calendar.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Day 43 14/06/24 Friday So today was the day for cloning 🤩 I've kept it basic, taken 4 sides as clones. I've started their own diary now 👇💚 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/214698-divine-seeds-black-opium-grow-journal-by-pifflestikkz I haven't exactly mainlined as I have far to much going on ATM. But, I have taken the principle, kept my mains, stripped back and topped all. Resulted back to tie down LST. Hoping she recovers quickly so we can flip on the 8 week mark🙌 Day 44 15/06/24 Saturday Feed today 6.4 Day 47 18/06/24 Water today pH 6.4 Fully recovered from her massacre 💚 Since cloning and topping, she has started re development again 💪 Pushing herself out and up again 🙌 Day49 20/06/21 Thursday Feed today pH 6.25 Did it outside, Picture update 🤩

08/08/18 - Day 22 looking good especially after the minor bump in the road, the wire I bought for the LST is doing it’s job for the time being but I will be buying some proper stuff on the weekend. ✌️🏻 10/08/18 - did more LST last night and their responding well except one, I did some minor defoliation of some fan leaves hogging the 💡 11/08/18 - plant #3 is finally getting into feel of the LST and is looking a lot happier, but girl #1 & #2 are just going with the flow and killing it, my first time doing LST like this and I wish I started doing it two harvest ago 😂👌🏻 13/08/18 - watered each plant with 2 litres each 💧plant number #3 has a slight kink in it from the LST it has been a pain for it the main stem has hardly any flexibility but the other two are 👍🏻

I'm very satisfied. 402 grams of wet buds. That could be over 100 grams dry. I have 4 plants in my 0,64 m² tent, it only had 0,16 m² space for its own. The result will come in about 2 weeks.

Introduction - Week 14|07 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9437.65, Great week of growing! Wow what a good week! Growth in the main tent has all around been incredible! Submitted my first submission to the Global Grow Cup! Filmed a video of the solo cup container (marked with the ticket/order number) that will be used for the competition. Also had to fill and prove the solo cup holds 2 cups of soil. Now I need to root a clone (for the first time), transplant her into this cup, and submit my 2nd entry before the 30th of this month. As far as my first attempt at cloning, have already begun the rooting process! Managed to take cuttings from 3 out of the 6 phenos in the main tent (the first cutting was also my first time topping). Soaked the cuttings for two days before planting them into Coco Coins. So far everything has gone surprisingly well! The clones are now rooting under the propagation dome with the vents fully closed. Will check for roots soon! At the end of the week, growth was just raging! Was planning on flipping to flower in a week, but decided to begin the first week of flower next week! Thus this is the last week of veg. Plan to flip to 12/12 next Monday! Onwards to next week!

Mainly wanted to check on #4 and she is looking great! She’s perked back up and looking good! - [23:08]: Evening check. --- Wow! It’s a jungle in here! --- #1 has gotten too big? Nah!? Keep on growing girl! --- #2 is growing and definitely getting bigger! Growth just looking really weird. --- #3 has continued to get larger and is looking quite uniform in growth! --- #4 is growing and looking perky again! --- Even the original #1 and #2 phenos (in the back) are looking good! --- Wow! #4 is really getting close to the light. - [23:14]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! - [23:27]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 30% - [CH01 EB1 - Garlic Budder #1] --- 34% - [CH02 EB2 - Garlic Budder #2] --- 39% - [CH03 GFP - Garlic Budder #3] --- 32% - [CH04 FPT - Garlic Budder #4] - [23:32]: Poured 4 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 2 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [23:38]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the 4X4’s humidifier with distilled water. --- Tomorrow, plan to defoliate and start cloning for the first time! --- Going to take multiple cuttings from both #1 and #4 for sure, but still deciding on the rest. --- Getting hyped!

Also to prove that the container is a 16oz container and that it can hold 2 cups of soil. --- The ticket (order) number also had to be written on the cup. - [12:36]: Done! --- The video had to be done in one continuous shot with no edits (my original submission does not have the logo). --- There was also a photo that needed to be shot which shows the cup filled with 2 cups of soil (just like the video, the original image submission did not have the logo). --- I think I did everything correctly, but also sent an email for verification of submission and validation. --- Getting hyped! --- [*smokes a bowl] --- Going to defoliate today along with for the first-time, going to take cuttings for clones! --- After a bit of online research, decided to split the cloning process into two days. --- Today going to take cuttings and will soak them in a solution of aloe for 24hrs. Afterwards will change the water out and use straight distilled water. --- Then in a couple days, plan to transplant into coco plugs (Coco Coins) for rooting. --- For optimal results, also be using a rooting hormone (Clonex). --- Well.. Here goes nothing! - [17:01]: Evening check. --- Wow! #1 is looking huge! Her main top is stretching above the lower canopy which is continuing to bush out. --- #2 is growing along. Growth is gnarly and a bit droopy, but she’s getting taller! --- #3 is looking great! Still a bit small, but she is continuing to get larger. --- #4 looks like she needs a watering. --- Both plants in the back are also looking surprisingly great as well! - [17:05]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! --- As far as today's defoliation, going to leave #2 and #3 alone and will focus my defoliation and cloning on the rest of the plants. --- This will be my first attempt at cloning, also going to try topping for the first time today. --- No pressure Ensign. What can possibly go wrong right? - [17:27]: Time to start the cloning and defoliation process! --- Filled a measuring cup with 3 cups of distilled water. ------ Added 3/4tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1 more cup of distilled water --- Mixed the solution and poured an even amount into three separate solo cups. --- Made sure to mark two of the cups (#1 and #4). The unmarked one will be for any other clones from amongst the 6 phenos (if any at all). - [17:43]: Time to top and defoliate #1! --- Using a pair of brand new trimmers (AC Infinity), --- Gently cut the main stalk to even out the canopy. --- Then trimmed and cleaned most of the nodes leaving the top node or two. --- Also trimmed the leaf fingers a bit before placing the top cutting into the cup of aloe solution. --- Now for the rest of the cuttings! --- [~45 minutes later] - [18:32]: Managed to finish defoliating and cutting the rest of the clones. --- Took two more lower cuttings from #1 (3 clones total). --- Took 3 lower cuttings from #4 --- While defoliating, decided to try and clone the original #2 pheno as well. Took 4 small cuttings. --- Similar to the top cutting, trimmed and cleaned each lower node for each cutting before placing them into the cups. --- Before finishing up the 2nd cutting, I noticed the first cutting (the top cut that was also trimmed) was drooping. --- So I did not trim and the leaf fingers for the other cuttings. --- In total there were 10 cuttings taken for potential clones. --- My main focus was to take cuttings and to clean up all the lower growth from both #1 and #4. --- Defoliated and cleaned up the back original phenos as well (also trimmed back the cover crop). - [18:35]: Temporarily placed the cuttings onto the floor of the 4x4 tent. --- Took the trimmings (about 3 cups) and spread them onto the top mulch of #1 and #2. --- Time to set the environmental controls for the 3x3 veg tent. - [18:43]: Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Veg Tent [3x3] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the grow light. ------ Set the Mode to ‘On Mode’ ------ Set the START/END times to 04:00PM/10:00AM ------ Set the MAX to 1 --- The IonBoard S33 is now utilizing around 60.8W (at intensity 1 out of 10). --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the exhaust fan. ------ Increased the Humidity’s HIGH trigger value from 81% to 87% --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the humidifier. ------ Decreased the VPD target value from 1.5kPa to 0.8kPa - [18:52]: Moved the cuttings into the 3x3 veg tent. --- It begins! I think. --- Going to let these cutting drink some aloe for a day before switching to straight distilled water. --- Hmm. Could be the white floor of the 3x3 veg tent, but have noticed the S33 has a whiter spectrum whereas the FC-6500 seems to be warmer in color. --- Anyways, - [18:58]: Poured 4 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 2 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [19:06]: Filled a pump sprayer with 5 cups of distilled water. --- Focused mainly on the straw mulch of #4. --- But also misted the straw mulch for the rest of the plants a bit. - [19:12]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water. - [19:44]: Going to be using Clonex rooting gel before planting the cuttings into Coco Coins (pre-soaked with microbes and aloe). But before that begins, going to transfer the Clonex gel into a squeeze bottle. --- Gently peeled back the seal on the original Clonex bottle. Just enough make a tiny opening, --- Then slowly and carefully poured the gel into an empty squeeze bottle. --- Also removed the sticker from the original bottle and placed it onto the new one. - [19:54]: Perfect! --- Instead of applying the gel to the cutting, going to be applying the gel to the Coco Coin. --- This squeeze bottle will make applying the gel a lot easier. --- Will take PPFD readings tomorrow. --- Also will change out the aloe solution to distilled water. --- I really hope I didn’t screw things up before they could even begin. --- Don’t die on me ladies! --- Please. Day 03 - Wednesday - 06/05/24 - Total Days: 100 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 81.9°F [27.7°C] - Humidity: 75.5% - VPD: 0.90 kPa - Soil %: [29, 36, 38, 36] ----------------------------------- - [09:40]: Quick morning check! --- #1 is looking a bit droopy, but looking okay. Topping is a high stress technique so going to take some time to recover. Don’t plan on flipping the main 4x4 tent to flower for a good week or so which should be enough time. --- #4 looks great! The defoliation seems to have no effect on growth. Nice! - [09:41]: Also quickly checked on the 3x3 veg tent, --- Nice! The cuttings are looking great! --- No yellowing and they all seemed to have turned up towards the light. --- So far so good! - [22:53]: Evening check. --- #1 is continuing to dominate this grow! She has spread wide and looking incredible! --- #2 is looking gnarly, but getting there. --- #3 is getting larger! But still a runt. By far, her leaves are the darkest of the bunch, but she is still growing! --- #4 looks happy and growing along beautifully! Wow! - [22:55]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! - [22:59]: Poured 5 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 2 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [23:05]: Checked on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! The cuttings are still green! Nice! - [23:07]: Took PPFD readings. --- The cuttings were around 121 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 7.84 mol/m²/d --- Nice! These levels are on the lower range for seedlings (~100-300), perfect! I think. - [23:14]: Swapped the aloe water out to straight distilled water. --- Going to let these cuttings soak for one more day before planting. --- Please don’t die girls! - [23:15]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water. --- Ooo yea! --- Tomorrow is the big rooting day! Day 04 - Thursday - 06/06/24 - Total Days: 101 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 81.9°F [27.7°C] - Humidity: 75.2% - VPD: 0.91 kPa - Soil %: [32, 38, 38, 34] ----------------------------------- - [16:20]: Evening check. --- #1 is a bit droopy, but growth is looking green and healthy. --- #2 is looking bigger! She’s also looking sort of droopy. --- #3 is growing along nicely! Looking good girl! --- #4 is looking great! A bit droopy but plan to water today. - [16:23]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- EB1's reservoir still has some water. --- EB2's reservoir was completely dry! - [16:23]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 28% - [CH01 EB1 - Garlic Budder #1] --- 36% - [CH02 EB2 - Garlic Budder #2] --- 37% - [CH03 GFP - Garlic Budder #3] --- 30% - [CH04 FPT - Garlic Budder #4] - [16:30]: Using a pump sprayer, --- Misted the straw mulch of #4 with 6 cups of distilled water. --- Focused mainly on the straw mulch. --- Also misted the straw mulch of #3 (in the grassroots fabric pot) a bit. - [16:43]: Poured 5 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 3 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [16:52]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 56% - [CH01 EB1 - Garlic Budder #1] --- 44% - [CH02 EB2 - Garlic Budder #2] --- 40% - [CH03 GFP - Garlic Budder #3] --- 45% - [CH04 FPT - Garlic Budder #4] - [17:01]: Took general PPFD readings. --- #1 was around 379 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 24.56 mol/m²/d --- #2 was around 333 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 21.58 mol/m²/d --- #3 was around 293 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 18.99 mol/m²/d --- #4 was around 378 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 24.49 mol/m²/d - [17:09]: Took the weekly height and light distance measurements. --- #1 was about 21" tall. --- #2 was about 13.5" tall. --- #3 was about 9.5" tall. --- #4 was about 19.25" tall. --- Hmm.. - [17:19]: Adjusted the right oscillating fan a bit. --- Re-angled the CloudRay S6 oscillating fan upwards. Been noticing that the air has been hitting the tops of the plants so easing off a bit (#1 is still getting hit, but she’s huge so not too worried). - [17:23]: Back to the measurements! --- #1 was about 9.5" away from the grow light. --- #2 was about 17" away from the grow light. --- #3 was about 17.5" away from the grow light. --- #4 was about 11.5" away from the grow light. - [17:46]: Checked on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Cuttings are still green! They do look a bit droopy but no signs of yellowing. --- Okay! - [17:55]: Time to begin the rooting process! --- For my first attempt at rooting, going to be using Coco Coins pre-soaked in saponins, microbes and aloe. --- To further help with rooting, going to also be using Clonex rooting gel. --- Filled a measuring cup with 4 cups of distilled water. ------ Added half of 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] ------ Added 1/16tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1/8tsp of Mycrobe Complete --- Mixed the solution thoroughly. --- Time for the Coco Coins! --- 10 cuttings means 10 Coco Coins. - [18:09]: Dropped 10 Coco Coins into the measuring cup. --- The coins immediately started to expand. --- A bit too much.. Oops! --- Poured the solution and Coco Coins into a pitcher. --- Added 2 cups of distilled water to the solution (now at 6 cups). --- Great! The coins are pretty much fully expanded, but going to wait a bit longer to fully saturate each coin. --- [~20-30 minutes later] - [18:42]: Great! --- Took the seedling and flood tray from the AC Infinity propagation dome and placed all 10 Coco Coins into the slots. --- Gave each Coco Coin a quick shake to remove excess solution. The coins were not dripping with solution but still pretty saturated. --- Arranged them into 3 groups with the cuttings in mind. --- Also tried to keep the pre-made holes intact. --- Time to inoculate the Coco Coins! - [18:54]: Using a squeeze bottle, --- While keeping the nozzle from making contact with the coco, gently filled each pre-made hole with Clonex rooting gel. Just enough gel to fully cover the hole of each coco coin. - [19:00]: Time to plant the cuttings! --- Gave each cup a misting of distilled water. Focused on wetting the top growth with water. --- Okay! --- To avoid mixing cuttings up. - [19:01]: Starting with the original #2 pheno cup, --- For each cutting, --- Using a pair of clean trimmers, made a final 45° cut about 1/2" from a bottom node. --- Then stripped away and scared the protective membrane below the node before planting. --- Made sure the node was about 1/2" below the surface of the coco. --- To help with planting, while inserting each cutting, gave the Coco Coin a gentle squeeze to loosen the coco. This also helped to ensure the coco and gel was in good contact with the cutting. --- Once the cutting was planted into the Coco Coin, made sure to place back in the same spot (made sure to keep the cuttings in their groupings). --- Once a cup was complete, made sure to keep the label with the group. --- Re-misted the top growth as needed to keep it wet. --- Also wiped the trimmers with isopropyl alcohol in between cuttings (plan to use 10% bleach solution for next time). --- Repeated this process until all 10 cuttings were cut, planted, and in the tray. --- The coco coins fit perfectly into the tray and don’t reach the bottom. Nice! --- The bottom air gap is important. --- Poured a bit of distilled water through one of the empty slots into the bottom of the tray. Just enough to fill the bottom of the tray, but not enough to reach any of the Coco Coins (~1/4cup). - [19:35]: Placed the propagation tray with cuttings into the 3x3 veg tent. --- Placed the first layer of the propagation dome on before giving the sides a misting of distilled water. --- Also sprayed the top of the propagation dome before covering the cuttings. --- Vents are all fully closed. - [19:40]: Placed the bar lights onto the top of the dome before configuring the controller. ------ Set the START/END times to 04:00PM/10:00AM ------ Set the bar light’s intensity to 2 (out of 10). --- Also made sure the propagation light controller’s time was in sync with the Controller 69 Pro. - [19:47]: Took PPFD readings. --- The cuttings were around 136 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 8.81 mol/m²/d --- The PPFD levels are similar to the floor. --- Perfect! --- Going leave the IonBoard S33 on during this rooting process. --- Will check back tomorrow to cycle the air under the dome. - [19:56]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water. - [20:17]: Quick night check! --- Ooo yea! Growth is raging and looking perky! --- Mainly checked on #1 and #4 which were looking incredible! --- Keep on growing ladies! Day 05 - Friday - 06/07/24 - Total Days: 102 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 82.7°F [28.2°C] - Humidity: 76.2% - VPD: 0.89 kPa - Soil %: [37, 40, 38, 35] ----------------------------------- - [10:03]: Decided to increase the ambient temp in the 3x3 veg tent. --- Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Veg Tent [3x3] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the heater. ------ Increased the Temp target value from 78°F to 82°F --- Hopefully this will help to keep the veg tent at a more consistent temp. - [22:26]: Evening check. --- Ooo yea! The garden is looking incredible! --- #1 is looking perky and just bushing out! Wow! --- #2 is getting big! Growth is weird and leaf fingers are huge! Just going to let her grow. --- #4 is looking happy and growing along like a champ! Nodes are starting branch out and she is turning into a bush! - [10:28]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! - [22:33]: Poured 5 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 3 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [22:40]: Checked on the propagation dome (inside the 3x3). --- Ah yea! Looking great ladies! --- Lifted the top of the dome to let some fresh air in for a bit. --- Wow! --- Leaves still look nice and green! --- So far everything looks great! --- Just going to continue on! - [22:53]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water. - [11:01]: Decided to adjust the humidifier for the 3x3. --- Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Veg Tent [3x3] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the humidifier. ------ Increased the VPD target value from 0.8kPa to 1.5kPa --- The higher VPD level will essentially turn the humidifier off. --- I won’t be needing the humidifier for a good week so might as well save the water. Day 06 - Saturday - 06/08/24 - Total Days: 103 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 81.6°F [27.6°C] - Humidity: 74.9% - VPD: 0.91 kPa - Soil %: [35, 40, 37, 31] ----------------------------------- - [07:40]: Quick morning check! --- #1 and #4 are looking perky and happy! --- Also checked on the propagation dome, --- All cutting still look green! Hyped! - [20:02]: Evening check. --- Wow the garden is raging with growth! --- #1 has blown up! She has clearly recovered and growth is ramping up again! --- #2 is stretching upwards! --- #3 is now the smallest of the 4, but still getting larger! --- #4 is looking incredible! Wow! Growth looks perky and happy! - [20:05]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! - [20:10]: Poured 6 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 2 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [20:16]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 35% - [CH01 EB1 - Garlic Budder #1] --- 40% - [CH02 EB2 - Garlic Budder #2] --- 36% - [CH03 GFP - Garlic Budder #3] --- 27% - [CH04 FPT - Garlic Budder #4] - [20:19]: Using a pump sprayer, --- Misted the straw mulch of #4 with 5 cups of distilled water. --- Focused mainly on the straw mulch. --- Also misted the mulch of #3 a bit (in the fabric pot). - [20:27]: Checked propagation dome (in the 3x3), --- To cycle the air under the dome, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Ooo yea! Everything is still green and looking great! --- Keep on rooting ladies! --- Oops! - [21:45]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water. Day 07 - Sunday - 06/09/24 - Total Days: 104 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 81.5°F [27.5°C] - Humidity: 74.8% - VPD: 0.91 kPa - Soil %: [36, 40, 37, 36] ----------------------------------- - [08:18]: Quick morning check! --- Nice!

Getting larger! --- Wow! #4 is getting taller and looks healthy and green! - [19:12]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! --- Wow the canopy is really starting to get taller and closer to the light. May need to raise it up soon. --- Absolutely surprised how low the light levels have been throughout this entire cycle. Barely moved the light and have not increased the intensity past 2 (out of 10). Less is really more. --- Anyways! - [19:18]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 36% - [CH01 EB1 - Garlic Budder #1] --- 41% - [CH02 EB2 - Garlic Budder #2] --- 37% - [CH03 GFP - Garlic Budder #3] --- 34% - [CH04 FPT - Garlic Budder #4] - [19:19]: Poured 6 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 3 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [19:24]: Checked propagation dome (in the 3x3), --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Sweet!

Hello fellow cannabis lovers, this Week my pineapple express started to show her little buds in formation, so far she is healthy and really like to be under those new leds I got, they are really powerful and seems to do the job better than HPS... I hope no more little rust points on leaves.... We will see if it was the hps doing those side effects on leaves... The leds are producing less heat than my HPS, so this summer my bedroom will not become a sauna with cannabis aromatherapy ! 😀Added some worm castings and fish blood with bones and guano to the soil approximately 2 handfull all mixed and water 1. 5l. I will add some pics of her when she was in vegetative cycle. That is all until next week, thank you for checking up on my little grow and for all the nice comments received, it is so nice to have fellow cannabis lovers to share our labour of love with, so little people I know care about gardening... Here in the UK cities people just want to smoke anything and do not care about the plant the way we do here, they just see money and getting high... Also of course I cannot talk about it to others because of illegality and the less who know the better... This is the only place I share my passion for gardening and cannabis even if it is a breach in my secret, I am sure no one in the law care about my little personal medical cannabis production and have bigger criminals to go after, again wishful thinking? 😁 Anyway we have to show we cannabis lovers are no threat to society and can be functional and gardeners even after smoking! I hope one day cannabis is no longer a threat to society but a solution! Cannabis can be used in so many ways it is the Swiss army knives of the plant world, an ally for overpopulated cities, and help the world heal from their mad stressful way of seeing things and doing things. Lol here I go again see you next week

I got busy and missed my week 2 of flower update. But here’s week three. This strain has been putting in work. The stretch is decent and I feel like they still have a little more stretch in them. I did a little leaf stripping but planning on doing a lot more in the next day or so. There is a decent amount of tops coming through the first layer of trellis. I’ll keep the girls happy and hopefully she’ll make me happy on harvest day. All in all no complaints about this strain as of yet.
