--- Day 60 in the garden and buds are looking and smelling great.
--- The under canopy is also clean and pots look great.
--- Time to take bud samples for a trichome check under the microscope.
--- Trichome heads naturally change in color as they ripen. Starting with clear, then cloudy, then amber.
--- Currently, my personal preference is around a 20% to 35% amber to cloudy ratio with little to no clear. As for texture, prefer greasy over grainy trichome heads.
- [19:53]: Using a pair of trimmers, I gently clipped a small bud sample from each plant.
--- All samples were cut within the mid-canopy (in-between the scrog nettings).
--- Using a USB microscope (attached to my phone), I carefully examined each bud sample for trichomes.
- [19:57]: First Chill Out OG #2,
--- Trichomes were looking mainly cloudy with some clear. Surprisingly could not find any amber.
--- On the finger rub, the trichome texture was sticky and grainy with a grape-vitamin earthy terpene profile.
- [20:14]: As for Heady OG BX1 #1,
--- Trichome heads were looking about the same with mainly cloudy with a bit of clear.
--- On the finger rub, the trichome texture was greasy with a lemon-pine-sol gasoline terpene profile.
- [20:21]: Last but not least, for TKO #2,
--- Trichome heads were looking about the same as the rest with mainly cloudy with clear. No ambering quite yet.
--- On the finger rub, the trichome texture was greasy with kushy/earthy fuel terpenes.
--- Plan to check again in about 10 or so days.
--- Need to set a harvest day which will probably be in a few weeks.

Overall Grow Experience
This run was smooth and rewarding. The plant responded well to training, Gaia Green nutrients held up beautifully, and the structure stayed strong all the way to harvest.
Nutrient Line – Gaia Green Organics
Organic, easy to use, and very forgiving. This line really impressed me and delivered healthy growth and solid flower development. Will definitely continue using it.
Training Technique
Mainlining worked great on this strain. Created a clean structure with even canopy and solid colas. Timing could be improved, but overall worth the effort.
Final Thoughts
I’m satisfied with how this grow turned out. Learned a lot and already planning how to improve the next run. This strain is definitely one I’d grow again.
Thank you all for following!

Wet paper towel method, in ziplock bag.
Waited for 1.5cm root before transplant to its final container (its an autoflower).
I will update with pictures of the seedling rising from the soil in a couple of days....
----+update
2days later something is popping slowly out of the soil ;)

Overall I'm extremely pleased with the grow and yield I got from using the Autopot system. By far my biggest yield yet. The clones were happy with the growing conditions and new setup. Would recommend the Autopots to anyone wanting to try something new or doesn't have the time to hand water or be with their plants 24/7. Also collected some decent kief/pollen from the dried leaves which can be used for smoking, making of hash or dab. Still deciding what I'll do with it. Thanks for making the effort to view my dairy, see you with the next one. Much love and happy smoking my fellow growers.

DWC about to explode in growth and can’t flip the light just yet, another two weeks will require plenty of pruning to keep her manageable in the small 2x3’.
Coco Coir
Week 1 of 12/12 she’s remained the shortest of the bunch with fat fan leaves should be solid nugs on this one.

Semana bem fria, temperaturas a noite chegaram a 7 graus, e ainda tive um inicio de mofo em um dos top buds, foi vacilo meu, acabei dobrando ele demais e tirei ele da circulação de ar. Retirei esse bud e fiz uma vistoria bem feita nos outros, não encontrei nada… semana que vem eu colho e já sei que preciso de mais um ventilador hehe

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023
1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal.
Added
39 Gallons of Water to my system
SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil
Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil
Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil
FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil
FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil
FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil
ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil
Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023
Everything is looking good the roots are making thier way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green.
Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023
Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying postition all leaves happily lifting towards the light.
Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023
Looking beautiful today and looked like she could use her first haircut.. gave her a TOP off. Roots are laying in the water everything is looking right on track..
Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023
walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. She had roots nicely in the water.. this grow is on!!!
Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023
Humidity was a little low this morning, so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that, the temp looks great, the PH looks great, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy.
Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023
Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started first hair cut given and both side nodes are growing. Everything is looking good and on track.. A lot better than week one of the last grow when I had them drowning week 1.
Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

Hello everyone.
Welcome to week 22 since she sprouted from seed, and week 8 of flowering.
Since Sunday, four days ago, she was flushed hard with 30 liters of tap water and then 40 liters of reverse osmosis water, bringing the PPM down to under 300.
Over the next days, I kept watering with at least 12 liters per day of reverse osmosis water. I’m expecting that by today’s or tomorrow’s feeding, the salts in the pot will drop under 100 PPM.
I noticed a few leaves starting to purple since the flush, which is a good sign. I’m expecting more purpling and yellowing in the coming days, and by next week I should have a beautiful fall canopy with purple and yellow leaves. That’s always a lovely picture.
Humidity is in check, always under 50.
Temperatures sit at 25 degrees Celsius in the middle of the canopy and about 23 degrees in the corners.
She’s not getting any nutrients anymore, only reverse osmosis water.
I’d say there’s a good chance of another update next week, but time will tell.
Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day.
Best regards,
Growfather.

Everything’s good here! RQS did a great job with this strain. And I keep enjoying the smoke from my last growth. Vaped at 180C it will make you sociable, taking your head and providing you great time while doing your stuff. Increasing the temperature at 190C or even 200C it will make you stick to the sofa for hours, while making you feel totally relaxed and stoned. Cheers!

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

Am 14.09.2026 startete der Umzug ins Living Soil. Die Wurzeln haben das Kokos-Tablett gut durchdrungen und es ist Zeit für das finale Umtopfen. Weshalb mache ich keinen Zwischentopf? Weil ich faul bin 😁. Und was mit Autos funktioniert, wird wohl auch mit Photos klappen!
In die Mitte des Topfes ein kleines Loch gegraben, die kleine Mandarin Punch vorsichtig über Kopf aus dem engen Zuchtbehälter gedrückt und ebenso vorsichtig eingegraben und angegossen. Ich verwende über den gesamten Grow nur Leitungswasser, was mindestens 24 Stunden abgestanden ist. Kein zusätzlicher Dünger — nur das Living Soil. Durch das große Topfvolumen müsste es genügend Puffer für die Mikroorganismen geben, um die Oflanze für den gesamten Run mit Nährstoffen zu versorgen — das ist die Idee hinter Living Soil. Keine Zusätze, einfach natürlich wachsen. Zwischendurch werde ich mit selbstgemachten Wurmtee gießen.
Zu guter letzt noch das Stroh kleingeschnitten, alles schön bedecken und … Let it grow!
Achja, meine SANlight habe ich auf 15% Leistung bei ca. 40 cm Abstand gestellt. Somit liegt der PPFD bei ca. 300 µmol/m²/s und damit für die zweite Woche im Idealbereich.
Das Pflänzchen entwickelt sich weiterhin gut.

September 14, 2026 — Moving day into the living soil! The roots have nicely punched through the coco pellet, so it’s time for the final transplant. Why no intermediate potting stages? Honestly, because I’m lazy 😁. Besides, if it works for autoflowers, it’ll definitely work for photoperiods too!
I dug a small hole right in the center of the pot, carefully flipped the little Mandarin Punch upside down to slide it out of its starter cell, and gently buried it before giving it a light watering. Throughout this entire grow, I will only be using tap water that has off-gassed for at least 24 hours. Zero bottled nutrients — just the living soil. Thanks to the massive pot volume, there should be plenty of buffer for the microorganisms to feed the plant for the entire run — that’s the whole philosophy behind living soil. No additives, just pure natural growth. Along the way, I’ll occasionally top things off with some homemade worm tea.
Lastly, I chopped up the straw, nicely covered the top layer, and … Let it grow!
Oh, and I bumped my SANlight up to 15% power at a 40 cm distance. This brings the PPFD to around 300 µmol/m²/s, keeping it right in the sweet spot for week 2.The little lady is doing great and pushing right ahead.

Hello Diary.
Sherbet Queen has entered the first week of flowering. It has grown over 70 cm and is very branched and full of leaves.
So on the 28th day I cleaned it up a bit. I removed the leaves and branches at the bottom of the stem, now the air flow through the plant itself will be much better.
The plant is very nicely shaped with a solid stalk, the flowers began to form at the ends of the branches.
Watering has become more frequent, every two days I water with about 2 liters of water.
This week I added only one Easy Bloom Booster tablet to stimulate flowering and I adjusted the p.H to a value around 6.3 and at one watering I added CalMg preventively.
The conditions on the Farm are in line with the summer months. The temperature is slightly higher, 28 degrees and the humidity is around 50%.
It is expected that the temperature will increase in the coming time, considering the temperatures during the summer.
I also changed the light mode, I put 4 hours of darkness and 20 hours of light.
For now, Sherbet Queen looks beautiful, happy and proud.
Here’s what it looked like last week.
08/06/2021 - Day 24.
Watering. I put one Easy Bloom Booster tablet in 6 liters of water and lowered the pH to 6.5. With that, I evenly watered all three plants that are on the “Farm”.
Since the last watering was three days ago, the branches and leaves were very droopy which is an indication that they were very very thirsty.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 27.5 degrees and 45% humidity.
10/06/2021 - Day 26.
Watering. I prepared 7 lit, lowered the p.H to 6.2 and did not add any other nutrients.
12/06/2021 - Day 28.
End of the fourth week. I did defoliation on all three plants on the “Farm,” so did Sherbet Queen. I think a new look will suit her.
I photographed the plants, measured the height and then watered them. This time I added 1.5ml / lit of CalMg preventively.
That’s it for this week, see you soon.

Hey guys
I'm doing 1 more week of shogun on the large pheno of the strawberry chemdawg og as it is a bit behind the other strawberry chemdawg og and blackberry moonrocks. I started the flush on those 2 plants so I think another week or 2 until I harvest those. The smells are amazing really smelling the strawberries and fruits.
There really packing on the frost now too.

Introduction - Week 09 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 100906.68,
Overall a pretty good grow week!
Started the week off by increasing the light's intensity. Also raised it up a bit.
Most of the week was basic growth checkups and humidifier refilling.
Mid week, increased the light's intensity a bit more. Also did a top soil drench of organic fertilizer along with a simple defoliation.
Towards the end of the week, decided to give both girls a large bottom watering. Also did a mini defoliation again.
Now that both reservoirs are full with about 2 gallons, shouldn't need to water for a while.
Next week will be the big 12/12 flip!
Steady as she grows Ensign. Engage! 🖖

- [16:03]: Good evening my queens!
--- Wow! Looking great ladies!
--- Top growth is looking very nice!
--- Hmm. A bit of yellowing is still developing on the lower leaves.
--- Regardless, canopy growth is still spreading out quite nicely!
--- With this being the last week of 18/6 veg, these girls are bushing out quite nicely!
--- After flipping the light schedule from 18/6 to 12/12, some cannabis plants will double in size.

--- Decided to increase the intensity of the grow light. Going for a PPFD goal of 500.
--- Will also most likely need to raise it up a bit.
- [16:27]: Within the AC Infinity App,
--- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the grow light.
--- Increased the MAX from 3 to 4
--- The FC-6500 is now utilizing around 327.3W from 261.9W (at intensity 4 out of 10)
- [16:33]: Raised the grow light up a bit.
--- Took new PPFD readings.
--- EB1 was around 528 μmol/m2/s which gives a DLI of 34.21 mol/m2/d
--- EB2 was around 499 μmol/m2/s which gives a DLI of 32.34 mol/m2/d
--- Great!
- [16:48]: Took a general light distance reading for EB1.
--- She's now about 16.25" from the grow light.
--- Plan to do final height and distance readings at the end of the week.
--- Okay! Now for the soil!
- [16:53]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data:
--- 20% - [CH01 EB1 - grow bag]
--- 28% - [CH02 EB1]
--- 30% - [CH03 EB2 - grow bag]
--- 28% - [CH04 EB2]
--- Soil moisture is drying around EB1.
--- EB2 soil seems to be 10% more hydrated.
--- Now for the basic meter.
- [16:58]: Using the soil moisture probe, took readings for each EarthBox.
--- Soil moisture levels for EB1 was at 5.5 out of 10
--- Top soil both looked and felt dry.
--- Soil moisture levels for EB2 was at 3 out of 10
--- Top soil looks hydrated but felt dry.
--- Fascinating. 🖖
--- A huge contrast in moisture data.
--- Based on the basic meter, both girls have drank quite a bit. Yet the Ecowitt sensors have not really changed much at all.
- [17:09]: Rotated both EarthBoxes 180 degrees.
--- Checked the fill tube for each EarthBox.
--- Both fill tubes are now pretty dry!
--- With the current soil moisture levels, decided to continue on with the top soil drenching.
--- Don't frack this up Ensign!
- [17:21]: Filled a pitcher with 5 cups of distilled water.
--- Then filled a measuring cup with 2 cups of distilled water.
--- Added 1/32tsp + 1/64tsp + Half 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract
--- Added 1/16tsp + 1/32tsp + 1/64tsp of:
------ Horticultural Aloe
------ Big 6 Micronutrients [+ Humic Acid]
--- Added 1/8tsp + 1/16tsp + 1/32tsp of:
------ Mycrobe Complete
------ Recharge
--- Added 1/4tsp + 1/8tsp + 1/16tsp of:
------ Pure Protein Dry [Organic Fish Aminos]
--- Added 2mL of Bio-Catalyst Enzyme Elixer
--- Added 5.25mL of Yah-Whey
--- Mixed the solution and poured everything straight into the pitcher to mix with the 5 cups of distilled water from earlier (now 7 cups).
--- Poured 3.5 cups of the mixed solution into a spray bottle.
- [17:54]: Rotated the EarthBoxes 90 degrees. EB2 is now facing the front.
--- Before watering, going to defoliate a bit.
- [17:58]: Using a pair of trimmers, I gently clipped away lower yellowing leaves.
--- Removed a few of the larger fan leaves which were covering top sites.
--- To help to further promote top growth, also removed more lower nodes.
--- Time to top soil drench!
--- Also going to top dress a bit of gnarly barley!
- [18:27]: Gently removed the rear moisture meter before pealing back the plastic much cover.
--- Now for the top dressing.
- [18:30]: Sprinkled 1/4cup of Gnarly Barley onto the top soil.
--- Tried to stay towards the back.
--- Using my fingers, I gently tilled the topdressing into the top soil.
--- Also tried to work in all of the trimmings from the defoliation.
- [18:42]: Misted the top soil for EB2.
--- Made sure to spray the area with the Grow Dots, but did not spray the grow bag.
--- Sprayed the whole top soil, but focused more on the back area.
--- Placed the mulch cover back along with the rear moisture sensor.
- [18:59]: Rotated the EarthBoxes 180 degrees.
--- Now for EB1,
--- Using a pair of trimmers, I gently clipped away yellowing leaves.
--- Also removed the larger fan leaves covering top sites.
- [19:20]: Gently removed the rear moisture meter.
--- Then pealed back the plastic much cover.
- [19:24]: Sprinkled 1/4cup of Gnarly Barley onto the top soil.
--- Again, tried to stay towards the back. Also sprinkled a bit around the grow bag.
--- Using my fingers, I gently tilled the topdressing into the top soil.
--- Also tilled in the trimmings from the defoliation.
- [19:45]: Using the rest of the solution (~3.5cups), misted the top soil for EB1.
--- Made sure to spray the Grow Dots, but did not spray the grow bag.
--- Tried to spray the solution evenly.
- [19:47]: Placed the mulch cover back along with the rear moisture sensor.
--- Rotated the EarthBoxes back to the default configuration.
--- Refilled the humidifier with distilled water and Hydrogen Peroxide (~20mL).
- [20:12]: Misted the top growth with a bit of distilled water.
--- Really hope I didn't over-water.
--- Going to let the water soak in a bit before checking the moisture levels.
--- Okay!
- [21:31]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data:
--- 31% - [CH01 EB1 - grow bag]
--- 44% - [CH02 EB1]
--- 33% - [CH03 EB2 - grow bag]
--- 35% - [CH04 EB2]
--- As expected, soil moisture overall is higher.
--- Will continue to check moisture levels as the soil dries out.

--- Growing along and looking great!
--- Refilled the humidifier with distilled water and Hydrogen Peroxide (~20mL).
--- HAPPY 420!
--- [*smokes a few bowls]
--- Recently been considering how I bottom water my EarthBoxes.
--- Usually I never fill the reservoir more than 8-9 cups of water at a time.
--- But now planning on doing a larger bottom watering (2-3 gallons or 32-48 cups).
--- My main concern of course is over-watering.
--- Since all I have is distilled water, will most likely add a bit of CalMag and Agisil along with a bit of Yah-Whey.
--- For now gonna wait a bit for the top soil to dry up a bit more.
- [20:46]: Evening checkup!
--- Wow looking good girls!
--- Both are bushing out nicely!
- [21:39]: Took PPFD readings.
--- EB1 was around 527 μmol/m2/s which gives a DLI of 34.15 mol/m2/d
--- EB2 was around 509 μmol/m2/s which gives a DLI of 32.98 mol/m2/d
--- Since the 12/12 flip is starting next week, plan to increase the PPFD even more closer to 600 μmol/m2/s.
--- Going to further increase the light's intensity.
- [21:48]: Within the AC Infinity App,
--- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the grow light.

--- Okay! Going to attempt a large bottom watering.
--- Before I water, going to defoliate a bit more.
- [21:38]: Using a pair of trimmers, I defoliated both girls.
--- Clipped off a few of the larger fan leaves that were covering tops.
--- Overall, did not defoliate much. Less than a solo cup of leaves.
--- Mainly focused on yellowing or damaged growth.
--- Tucked the trimmings under the mulch covers.
