Day 28 today The girls are stretching out to a decent size. Except the Cheesy auto which is 10 days behind. They have only had half a scoop of Greenhouse biogrow so far. I am going to try out Canna Flores Organic for flower , boosted by organic Iguana juice from Advanced nutrient, is did a little bit of lst today just tying four branches down on each plant. I'm interested how much I can yield from a 100w led.

Week 4 for Strawberry Gorilla by Fastbuds She's clearly enjoyed her FPJ feeding that she got, look at the size of her compared to last week.... She may end up larger than Moby dick but i think that would be asking for too much😂 I will be moving her outdoors today most likely maybe tomorrow if i dont have time to do it. If you see in the video shes actually got some fasciation going on where one of my side branches was almost like doubled and ended up topping itself & splitting into 2 😂 Happy with her progress 😁

6/23 Due To The Two 8 Day weeks this week will only consist of five days to get me back on track. SEE LAST WEEK FOR DETAILS. I DID ANOTHER EIGHT DAY WEEK. I'LL DO THIS WEEK AS SIX DAYS. THAT WAY IM BACK ON SCHEDULE. WATERED 6/22. WENT BACK AT NIGHTCAND WATERED ANOTHER GALLON WITH 1/3 TSP Armor Si. I mixed the solution with kelp you kelp me but I dumped it out. I've mixed silica with other nutes before but I had read something earlier about bioavailability issues and I didn't want to risk it. My plants are the healthiest I've ever grown. I'm considering transplanting the large 10th planet that I'm light depping. I also need to develop my ipm and my nute schedule. Still gonna have to keep an eye onvthe water situation. Luckily I have a buddy in my corner that's co tinualkt Bern a great help. WENT BACK OVER AROUND NOON. BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE AND THE PLANTS WERE LOVING THIS SUN. I DEFOLIATED SOME BURNED LEAVES AND MIXED A SOLUTION IF KELP ME KELP YOU THAT I PLAN TO FEED TO THE GARDEN TODAY. IM HAPPY WITH HOW THINGS ARE GOING. WE HAVE SOME RAIN AND THINDERSTORMS COMING. I NEED TO GET MY IPM UP AND RUNNING AND THE NUTES ONLINE. I ALSO NEED TO DECIDE IF IM GOING TO TRANSPLANT THE LIGHT DEP 10th PLANET. Went back over to put the girls to bed at six and if was still 90 degrees. The water from yesterday had dissipated. The tops were dust dry. I mixed two gallons of kelp you kelp me and fed it to the garden. Afterwards I pointed qbd found a couple plants that were more open to the wind were a little lighter. I know tomorrow will be very hot. Maybe quarter inch of rain. However after that it will rain (showers) off and on for days. I wanted to make sure the girls had what the needed to make it through tjis heat wave until they get that rain. I had another gallon mixed up and I'm thinking I should've given it to them. Oh well. I'd rather underwater than overwater any day. I did notice a burnt top on the plant furthest from the tarp that the sun JUST BARELY TOUCHES when the rest are in shade. I'll just raise the tarp a little. These are tiny problems. Can't upload video until tomorrow. 6/24 Good thing u gave the plants that water. I know it wasn't much but we didn't get any rain. Suppised to get a qtr in today and another qtr in tomorrow. Then rain a couple more days. It's working our really good for my watering schedule lol. Yesterday the girls got there first dose of a bottled nute. They got two gallons of kelp me kelp you (1/3 tsp per gallon) and another gallon of just phed water. I was going to do another gallon but held off due to the threat of syring rain. Didn't get it bur it looks like the plants loved the kelp. It had reached 90 yesterday. They look better today. It's 70 at 9 today. I LST the 10th planet in the 3 gallon. It's getting huge. I should start a separate diary for those three light dep plants. Its cool as hell watching this. One of the purple punches is flowering pretty good. I probably should start another diary for them. I'll be starting to feed my plants soon. Wondering if I should pinch plants again. TUCKED THE LITTLE GIRLS IN AT SIX AND SHOT A VIDEO AND TOOK SOME PUCTURES. PLANTS LOOKED PHENOMINAL! GOT HOME AND AROUND SEVEN IT JUST STARTED RORREBTIAL DOWNPOURS! THE TYPE OF RAIN THAT BREAKS STEMS. I SHOULDVE PUT MY OTHET TARP UP BUT I DIDNT. I WISH I HAD. IM A LITTLE NERVOUS. I KNOW THESE GIRLS ARE STRONG THOUGH! TOMORROW. ILL ROLL THE RARP UP AND SECURE THE BOTTOM FOR FAST ACCESS. IM ALSO GOING TO KOOK INTO FINDING A TOP FOR MY CAGE I CAN USE IN INCLIMENT WEATHER. 6/25 That little qtr in of rain we were supposed to get turned into torrential downpours and high winds. Luckily no REAL damage. If you watch the video you'll see what I mean. I'm going to havecto be cognizant moving forward. Noticed a few chunks from leaves butvplants are still healthy. I'm surprised how well these girls withstood this storm. They are certainly resilient. The 2 purple punch 1 10th planet that I'm light depping are flowering nicely now. They missed all the commotion from the storm as they were inside. It's smelling good. I'm happy. 6/26 It's what a friend would say is "maineing") out. That mistcthe plants love. I'm surprised the plants are doing as good as they have been considering the wind. Will be adding nutes soon. Need to add extra supports too. Light dep 6/27 Brief periods or torrential downpours. Light depped 3 gallon 0lants are under an overhanfcwhete the hatsxrain can't hurt them but they still get sun. They are really starting to flower now! I'm going to begin feeding with a base nute and a flower nute I think. I'm thinking about giving the light dep some open sesame or something similar. I need to set up a nute program soon but the plants ALL look so healthy! And it's been raining! I've only watered like once or twice since they've been in the big pots. I've seen zero pests aside from a chunk missing from a grasshopper. Usually by now I'd have battled half a dozen things and be battling another half dozen. However I was posing from clones. These are seeds and boy don't I see the difference!

7 Blüte Woche Tag:73 Es kann sich nur noch um 3-4 Tage handeln bis die Mrs. Glue Gelato erntereif ist. Die Trichome sind jetzt alle wolkig, ein paar Bernsteinfarben. Die Buds sind in den letzten Tagen noch kompakter geworden und haben an Volumen zugelegt. Der ganze grow room riecht fruchtig süß🍊🍋🍍🍭🍰. Ich denke mit 76 Tagen müsste die Lady zufrieden sein dann wird gehackt. Ich bin mit dem ganzen Verlauf wie die Glue Gelato gewachsen ist hoch zufrieden. Sie fällt einem sofort ins Auge, selbst wenn sie zwischen zahlreichen anderen Schönheiten steht. Sie hat ein besonderes Aussehen das einem sofort auffällt, die schokoladige Farbe und dann die stacheligen Stigmen, als würden sich zahlreiche Wespen in den Blütenkelchen tummeln. Auch hat sie ein besonderen Terpen Geruch, von dem ich sehr angenehm angetan bin. Ich bin auf die Verkostung gespannt, ich hoffe sie schmeckt wie sie riecht. Ich danke euch für eure Unterstützung und werde euch auf den Laufenden halten. Ich wünsche allen meinen Kollegen ein Glückliches Wachstum und reichliche Ernten.

Still drying up from last week flush, so no ferts. Will start again next week as soon as the soil is ready to accept new water. I removed all the lower branches that couldn’t reach the light and I moved the ceramic heat lamps in the bottom of the grow box to help the drying process of the soil. But the big news is that she finally started flowering! And this was the last who still was stuck in pre-flowering phase 😃

It's been another easy week in the Fastbuds tent. I've spent most my energy preparing my outdoor grow space for a wild summer. At this point, there's not much I can do except water and watch my plants grow. I've added videos of other plants in relations to the mimosa cake just for visual aid. I also added a photo of my cheese auto.. it's still drying! With the Mimosa cake auto I've been taking fan leaves off slowly for weeks now. This is a very busy plant. She is also going to run later than I expected. She's on day 76 and I suspect 95 to 100 days to finish time. I'll have to keel feeding her bloom nutes for the next few weeks; her 3 gallon bucket ran out of nutrients already. Feeding schedule: water, feed, water, feed Step 1- I'll take an aeration stone and use it to remove the chlorine residual in the water... this only takes 8 - 12 hours depending on water temperature. (I'm a water treatment process operator, I have checked several times in the past with my own Cl2 meters). Step 2 - add Calmag Step 3- add bloom nutes Final step - pH the water accordingly (very important that this is final step) A TDS residual of 500 ppm equals roughly 1 E.C. (I just double it)

Yellow butterfly came to see me the other day; that was nice. Starting to show signs of stress on the odd leaf, localized isolated blips, blemishes, who said growing up was going to be easy! Smaller leaves have less surface area for stomata to occupy, so the stomata are packed more densely to maintain adequate gas exchange. Smaller leaves might have higher stomatal density to compensate for their smaller size, potentially maximizing carbon uptake and minimizing water loss. Environmental conditions like light intensity and water availability can influence stomatal density, and these factors can affect leaf size as well. Leaf development involves cell division and expansion, and stomatal differentiation is sensitive to these processes. In essence, the smaller leaf size can lead to a higher stomatal density due to the constraints of available space and the need to optimize gas exchange for photosynthesis and transpiration. In the long term, UV-B radiation can lead to more complex changes in stomatal morphology, including effects on both stomatal density and size, potentially impacting carbon sequestration and water use. In essence, UV-B can be a double-edged sword for stomata: It can induce stomatal closure and potentially reduce stomatal size, but it may also trigger an increase in stomatal density as a compensatory mechanism. It is generally more efficient for gas exchange to have smaller leaves with a higher stomatal density, rather than large leaves with lower stomatal density. This is because smaller stomata can facilitate faster gas exchange due to shorter diffusion pathways, even though they may have the same total pore area as fewer, larger stomata. Leaf size tends to decrease in colder climates to reduce heat loss, while larger leaves are more common in warmer, humid environments. Plants in arid regions often develop smaller leaves with a thicker cuticle and/or hairs to minimize water loss through transpiration. Conversely, plants in wet environments may have larger leaves and drip tips to facilitate water runoff. Leaf size and shape can vary based on light availability. For example, leaves in shaded areas may be larger and thinner to maximize light absorption. Leaf mass per area (LMA) can be higher in stressful environments with limited nutrients, indicating a greater investment in structural components for protection and critical resource conservation. Wind speed, humidity, and soil conditions can also influence leaf morphology, leading to variations in leaf shape, size, and surface characteristics. Small leaves: Reduce water loss in arid or cold climates. Environmental conditions significantly affect gene expression in plants. Plants are sessile organisms, meaning they cannot move to escape unfavorable conditions, so they rely on gene expression to adapt to their surroundings. Environmental factors like light, temperature, water, and nutrient availability can trigger changes in gene expression, allowing plants to respond to and survive in diverse environments. Depending on the environment a young seedling encounters, the developmental program following seed germination could be skotomorphogenesis in the dark or photomorphogenesis in the light. Light signals are interpreted by a repertoire of photoreceptors followed by sophisticated gene expression networks, eventually resulting in developmental changes. The expression and functions of photoreceptors and key signaling molecules are highly coordinated and regulated at multiple levels of the central dogma in molecular biology. Light activates gene expression through the actions of positive transcriptional regulators and the relaxation of chromatin by histone acetylation. Small regulatory RNAs help attenuate the expression of light-responsive genes. Alternative splicing, protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, the formation of diverse transcriptional complexes, and selective protein degradation all contribute to proteome diversity and change the functions of individual proteins. Photomorphogenesis, the light-driven developmental changes in plants, significantly impacts gene expression. It involves a cascade of events where light signals, perceived by photoreceptors, trigger changes in gene expression patterns, ultimately leading to the development of a plant in response to its light environment. Genes are expressed, not dictated! While having the potential to encode proteins, genes are not automatically and constantly active. Instead, their expression (the process of turning them into proteins) is carefully regulated by the cell, responding to internal and external signals. This means that genes can be "turned on" or "turned off," and the level of expression can be adjusted, depending on the cell's needs and the surrounding environment. In plants, genes are not simply "on" or "off" but rather their expression is carefully regulated based on various factors, including the cell type, developmental stage, and environmental conditions. This means that while all cells in a plant contain the same genetic information (the same genes), different cells will express different subsets of those genes at different times. This regulation is crucial for the proper functioning and development of the plant. When a green plant is exposed to red light, much of the red light is absorbed, but some is also reflected back. The reflected red light, along with any blue light reflected from other parts of the plant, can be perceived by our eyes as purple. Carotenoids absorb light in blue-green region of the visible spectrum, complementing chlorophyll's absorption in the red region. They safeguard the photosynthetic machinery from excessive light by activating singlet oxygen, an oxidant formed during photosynthesis. Carotenoids also quench triplet chlorophyll, which can negatively affect photosynthesis, and scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage cellular proteins. Additionally, carotenoid derivatives signal plant development and responses to environmental cues. They serve as precursors for the biosynthesis of phytohormones such as abscisic acid () and strigolactones (SLs). These pigments are responsible for the orange, red, and yellow hues of fruits and vegetables, while acting as free scavengers to protect plants during photosynthesis. Singlet oxygen (¹O₂) is an electronically excited state of molecular oxygen (O₂). Singlet oxygen is produced as a byproduct during photosynthesis, primarily within the photosystem II (PSII) reaction center and light-harvesting antenna complex. This occurs when excess energy from excited chlorophyll molecules is transferred to molecular oxygen. While singlet oxygen can cause oxidative damage, plants have mechanisms to manage its production and mitigate its harmful effects. Singlet oxygen (¹O₂) is considered a reactive oxygen species (ROS). It's a form of oxygen with higher energy and reactivity compared to the more common triplet oxygen found in its ground state. Singlet oxygen is generated both in biological systems, such as during photosynthesis in plants, and in cellular processes, and through chemical and photochemical reactions. While singlet oxygen is a ROS, it's important to note that it differs from other ROS like superoxide (O₂⁻), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), and hydroxyl radicals (OH) in its formation, reactivity, and specific biological roles. Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) protects plants from damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) by dissipating excess light energy as heat. This process reduces the overexcitation of photosynthetic pigments, which can lead to the production of ROS, thus mitigating the potential for photodamage. Zeaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment, plays a crucial role in photoprotection in plants by both enhancing non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). In high-light conditions, zeaxanthin is synthesized from violaxanthin through the xanthophyll cycle, and this zeaxanthin then facilitates heat dissipation of excess light energy (NPQ) and quenches harmful ROS. The Issue of Singlet Oxygen!! ROS Formation: Blue light, with its higher energy photons, can promote the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including singlet oxygen, within the plant. Potential Damage: High levels of ROS can damage cellular components, including proteins, lipids, and DNA, potentially impacting plant health and productivity. Balancing Act: A balanced spectrum of light, including both blue and red light, is crucial for mitigating the harmful effects of excessive blue light and promoting optimal plant growth and stress tolerance. The Importance of Red Light: Red light (especially far-red) can help to mitigate the negative effects of excessive blue light by: Balancing the Photoreceptor Response: Red light can influence the activity of photoreceptors like phytochrome, which are involved in regulating plant responses to different light wavelengths. Enhancing Antioxidant Production: Red and blue light can stimulate the production of antioxidants, which help to neutralize ROS and protect the plant from oxidative damage. Optimizing Photosynthesis: Red light is efficiently used in photosynthesis, and its combination with blue light can lead to increased photosynthetic efficiency and biomass production. In controlled environments like greenhouses and vertical farms, optimizing the ratio of blue and red light is a key strategy for promoting healthy plant growth and yield. Understanding the interplay between blue light signaling, ROS production, and antioxidant defense mechanisms can inform breeding programs and biotechnological interventions aimed at improving plant stress resistance. In summary, while blue light is essential for plant development and photosynthesis, it's crucial to balance it with other light wavelengths, particularly red light, to prevent excessive ROS formation and promote overall plant health. Oxidative damage in plants occurs when there's an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the plant's ability to neutralize them, leading to cellular damage. This imbalance, known as oxidative stress, can result from various environmental stressors, affecting plant growth, development, and overall productivity. Causes of Oxidative Damage: Abiotic stresses: These include extreme temperatures (heat and cold), drought, salinity, heavy metal toxicity, and excessive light. Biotic stresses: Pathogen attacks and insect infestations can also trigger oxidative stress. Metabolic processes: Normal cellular activities, particularly in chloroplasts, mitochondria, and peroxisomes, can generate ROS as byproducts. Certain chlorophyll biosynthesis intermediates can produce singlet oxygen (1O2), a potent ROS, leading to oxidative damage. ROS can damage lipids (lipid peroxidation), proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids (DNA). Oxidative stress can compromise the integrity of cell membranes, affecting their function and permeability. Oxidative damage can interfere with essential cellular functions, including photosynthesis, respiration, and signal transduction. In severe cases, oxidative stress can trigger programmed cell death (apoptosis). Oxidative damage can lead to stunted growth, reduced biomass, and lower crop yields. Plants have evolved intricate antioxidant defense systems to counteract oxidative stress. These include: Enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and various peroxidases scavenge ROS and neutralize their damaging effects. Antioxidant molecules like glutathione, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), C60 fullerene, and carotenoids directly neutralize ROS. Developing plant varieties with gene expression focused on enhanced antioxidant capacity and stress tolerance is crucial. Optimizing irrigation, fertilization, and other management practices can help minimize stress and oxidative damage. Applying antioxidant compounds or elicitors can help plants cope with oxidative stress. Introducing genes for enhanced antioxidant enzymes or stress-related proteins over generations. Phytohormones, also known as plant hormones, are a group of naturally occurring organic compounds that regulate plant growth, development, and various physiological processes. The five major classes of phytohormones are: auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, and abscisic acid. In addition to these, other phytohormones like brassinosteroids, jasmonates, and salicylates also play significant roles. Here's a breakdown of the key phytohormones: Auxins: Primarily involved in cell elongation, root initiation, and apical dominance. Gibberellins: Promote stem elongation, seed germination, and flowering. Cytokinins: Stimulate cell division and differentiation, and delay leaf senescence. Ethylene: Regulates fruit ripening, leaf abscission, and senescence. Abscisic acid (ABA): Plays a role in seed dormancy, stomatal closure, and stress responses. Brassinosteroids: Involved in cell elongation, division, and stress responses. Jasmonates: Regulate plant defense against pathogens and herbivores, as well as other processes. Salicylic acid: Plays a role in plant defense against pathogens. 1. Red and Far-Red Light (Phytochromes): Red light: Primarily activates the phytochrome system, converting it to its active form (Pfr), which promotes processes like stem elongation and flowering. Far-red light: Inhibits the phytochrome system by converting the active Pfr form back to the inactive Pr form. This can trigger shade avoidance responses and inhibit germination. Phytohormones: Red and far-red light regulate phytohormones like auxin and gibberellins, which are involved in stem elongation and other growth processes. 2. Blue Light (Cryptochromes and Phototropins): Blue light: Activates cryptochromes and phototropins, which are involved in various processes like stomatal opening, seedling de-etiolation, and phototropism (growth towards light). Phytohormones: Blue light affects auxin levels, influencing stem growth, and also impacts other phytohormones involved in these processes. Example: Blue light can promote vegetative growth and can interact with red light to promote flowering. 3. UV-B Light (UV-B Receptors): UV-B light: Perceived by UVR8 receptors, it can affect plant growth and development and has roles in stress responses, like UV protection. Phytohormones: UV-B light can influence phytohormones involved in stress responses, potentially affecting growth and development. 4. Other Colors: Green light: Plants are generally less sensitive to green light, as chlorophyll reflects it. Other wavelengths: While less studied, other wavelengths can also influence plant growth and development through interactions with different photoreceptors and phytohormones. Key Points: Cross-Signaling: Plants often experience a mix of light wavelengths, leading to complex interactions between different photoreceptors and phytohormones. Species Variability: The precise effects of light color on phytohormones can vary between different plant species. Hormonal Interactions: Phytohormones don't act in isolation; their interactions and interplay with other phytohormones and environmental signals are critical for plant responses. The spectral ratio of light (the composition of different colors of light) significantly influences a plant's hormonal balance. Different wavelengths of light are perceived by specific photoreceptors in plants, which in turn regulate the production and activity of various plant hormones (phytohormones). These hormones then control a wide range of developmental processes.

|»» LOG DISCLAIMER: Not intended as a grow guide. Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 15 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17541.8, Wow what an epic grow week! 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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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]

I’d like to close the cycle in less then 80 days. It would be great First flowering fertilisation Ph 6.2 Ppm 631 Day 37 - 9 of flower 🌸 Started blooming fertilisation, I’m keep Giving all-in one from aptus, i think I lm substitute with super pk and I stop all in one. Ph 6.2 Ppm 731 As I’m growing an solito in a 9.2 lt pots with all mix nutrients I’m slowing down with all in one and just giving base feedings, I ll decide later if I should give super-pk for the next weeks Day 40, tomorrow will be feeding days. Sge’s going really well, resin is already showing up on flowers that are several as and colorfull, smell is already there 🤤 Tomorrow update with feedings parameters. Day 41 feeding day Aptus regulator 0,15ml/1 lt Aptus all in one 1,25ml/1lt Aptus Topbooster 0,3 ml Aptus enzym + 0,5 ml Calmag 0,3 ml /L Ph 6,18 Ppm 756 Let’s see

Week 16 Day 106 | 25/10/2021: No time today Day 107 | 26/10/2021:💧 They just look so amazing, I can't stop looking at them I think this will be the last watering with nutrients actually, I realised this is meant to be their 2nd last week! Gave them 3ml CalMag, 4.5ml TopMax, and 4.5ml BioBloom. They grow up so fast :’) Day 108 | 27/10/2021: No time today Day 109 | 28/10/2021: No time today Day 110 | 29/10/2021 :💧 So the flush starts today! Actually it’s not a pure flush because I’m still adding TopMax to this watering just to give them that last boost (6ml). I also checked the trichomes and I think I will give them some extra time so will harvest sometime in the middle of week 18 Day 111 | 30/10/2021: No time today Day 112 | 31/10/2021: Girls A & D got a bit of a photoshoot today with better lighting! I still wish I had a better macro camera because the trichome details are really not being captured well. But their colours are still amazing 😍

Vegetativo 06-12-2024 al 12-12-2024 06-12-2024 Se muestra un crecimiento conciderable de la semana pasada a esta semana y se observa muy sana. 08-12-2024 Se realiza cambio de solucion nutritiva con parametros ajustados. 10-12-2024 Con el aumento de nutrientes se nota un crecimiento y mejora de las hojas cosiderable. 11-12-2024 Observo que unas hojas de reciente crecimiento muestran amarilles en los bordes, asi que opto por agregar mas agua al cubo ya que la planta esta chupando cada vez mas agua y nutrientes, Se nota en las hojas la transpiracion de la planta, y se coloca una red para empezar a entrenar las ramas de la planta y la exposicion a la luz entre hojas y ramas sea mayor, se aumenta la potencia de la lampara de 75% a 90%. 12-12-2024 Aplico una tecnica llamada lst aplaste los tallos un poco para que bajaran y la exposicion de la luz fuera mejor. Parametros Utilizados Temperatura del ambiente 23 C° Extraccion de aire 4 pulgadas Humedad 60% Potencia de la lampara 90% Ec Original 0.4 Ec Nutriente 2.4 Ph 6.0 Horas de Luz 18/6 VPD Range 1.2 kPa

They're lagging a little from the transplant, hopeful next week we'll see their growth spurt starting. She seems to be one of the healthiest of the bunch.
