During week 3 all plants are growing well inside the Growfor.Life-Closet and have a healthy green color. The latest addition: Double Dutch plant #3 (from Serious Seeds) is behind the rest, but also doing well. On Day 18 the biggest three plants, Double Dutch plant #1 and #2 and OG-Kush have gotten so big that a first round of defoliation was necessary. I do this in order to avoid big leaves touching each other and causing dampness to condensate between the leaves, which in turn can attract fungus and mold. Therefore i take off all the big fan leaves starting from the bottom of the plant and only leave the top two fan leaves on the plant. Now the air can flow freely through the canopy again and no leaves are touching and no dampness can condensate. The plants are still getting no extra nutrients, since the PLAGRON Grow-Mix I use should still have plenty in it. I only use RHIZOTONIC from CANNA one time in order to enhance the root-production. Now at this stage you already can clearly see differences between Double Dutch (from Serious Seeds) and OG-Kush (from Humboldt Seeds). The leaf shape is different (smaller and more pronounced fingers on the leaves of OG-Kush) and also the growth pattern (more like Indica in Double Dutch). On Day 19 I decide to do some LST (=low stress training) in order to train the 3 biggest plants into a bushier form. This is necessary, because the Growfor.Life-Closet is limited in height and I want the plants to fill out the whole area well with budding sites. I use stiff insulated copper-wire (standard electrical wire, pieces of appr. 30 cm length) and bend small arches, which I then carefully place over the top-part of a side-branch and push the open ends of the wire downwards into the soil so it holds the branch in place, while its bent outwards away from the main stem. This way I 'fan-out' the lowest 4 side-branches, so they are growing upwards at places where the light can reach them better. (see in detail in video) All plants respond well to the LST and turn their leaves and tips of the side-branches towards the light again until the next day. At day 19 the plants are now almost 20 cm tall, therefore I also decide to switch to 12/12 hours of light/darkness now in order to induce flowering. I change the program of the Growfor.Life-Closet from the standard-grow-mode (=18 hours of light per day) to the custom-flowering-program (12/12 hours of light, where I can choose the time when the lamps turn on). Now the plants will grow slower until they start to flower. I LOVE THE Growfor.Life-Closet, its sooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL and soooooooooooooooo SILENT, a landmark technical development in my opinion! This is growing made stealthy and effortless, GROWING OF THE 21st CENTURY!

All good so far, just sprayed them with anti-insect just in case (thats why the leaves looks shiny or oily) also noticed that the one i have in the right corner streched more the first week than the other 3 but that one is bigger since the beginning. Added 120g per plant of biobloom (3g per liter) and increased the light to 315w 😁

Somehow I miscalculated the days and started week 6 prematurely. I will just continue here thru to week 7 Day 32 From Seed NYD#2 Started LST. Pot was light, watered at 6.3 including Fish Sh!t. NYD#3 The pony tail backfired. The main is mangled. Despite small nodes, I started LST and watered at 6.3 including Fish Sh!t. Day 33 From Seed Did some research and found out the ponytail should only be used during the light cycle and removed for the dark period. I left it on, which caused the ugly. Lesson learned! Day34 Adjusted and added LST. Watered #2 at 6.5. #3 was still heavy, no water needed. Day 37 Watered, adjusted LST Day 39 From Seed Watered, adjusted LST. Found a bug that isn't a fungus gnats (NYD#3). Inspected both plants for more. Did a neem oil top drench and added Vicks Vapor Rub to the pot rims (bug deterrent). So raised light roughly 4 inches. Day 41 Light watering, adjusted LST ties, top drenched with Neem Oil. Added a few ounces of peroxide to the humidifier. They'll both need a top dress soon.

Transplanted on last day of the week as the other 1 liter pot just didn’t hold water long enough. Add slow release palates, crushed bone meal and a bit of mycorrhizae.

My Soaptini plant is still on the smaller side, but it's finally starting to take off. I think it's going to stay pretty short and stocky, which will be interesting to see. It's been a challenging week with the constant rain and ridiculously high humidity. Keeping things dry indoors has been a real struggle. Despite the weather, I managed to flip all my feminized photoperiod plants to flower this week. I'm hoping the switch will go smoothly, but with this humidity, it's going to be tough.

Happy Xmas 😊 No better day to lay them down! "We're Off to the races" 🏁 Greyhound's at the ready! "I feel like; we're in for a speed run Martina" •HydroSol Grow + H202• #Peanut Butter OGKB - Sensible Seeds #Peyote Wi-Fi CBD - Seedsman. #Monkey SlapZ - PreyBird Farms. #The Future - DC Seeds "Sprayed SEEDS with weak 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide foodgrade. Placed on mineral wool inside of a glass food container in a propagandist! 😉 on a heat mat at 24c. 26/12/2024 Peanut Butter OGKB has sprouted her tap! 27/12/2024 Peyote Wi-Fi CBD (PW) is ready for the light as well with The Future (TF) 28/11/2024 All have germinated! Peeled back the shell 🐚 on peanut butter OGKB (PB) being a good Santa's little helper. Will introduce HydroSol water soluble feed in the morning. They should have enough in there tap root until morning. "Its only been 3days since I laid them down 👀 and it's been 1 day from seed sprouting tap root" mathematical genius i am. Midday: Apllied a very weak feed of HydroSol at ratio of 1ml/L. DLI: 20 (c) Little above average! Lights Off! Sprayed propagator with HP 6% all round avoiding direct touch! About week 3 will up the dose spray to 12% "avoiding direct touch" this is bleach strength. But hopefully being introduced early will stop the micro-organisms "ever" building up in the plants cells ever. May have to do a laboratory grow next to get the results i want that are projected in my minds eye! If the hydrogen keeps reacting with micro organisms; it could by the very definition rip atoms and form mutations of its own kind! Hence these are "Experiments" Because i think every grow is an experiment (leave it to the professionals: I hear you! Would; could; should but the world is full of lies and deceptions; from knowledge; technology; history and Morden-day! Well Morden day academics 'to me. Personally is all bs! Take it as it is, just my opinions and a cloud of thought sprawling and spiraling out over these digital diaries. I hwar ya too. A huge still box would be needed or properly designing a room for a labradory grow. I don't know! I would need zero interferences from "out of space" where the nasties come from in our world. The space between me and you; consists of everything we know in that "gap" for we are forever shinning from our own island! Hard to explain. Lights Off: 147watts wall draw with DLI at 20! Light Shedule: 3-9pm Monkey SlapZ (MS) hasnt cracked her shell yet. I may have to do it tomorrow morning (may die otherwise) 29/11/2024 Lights On! (MS removed shell and accidently snapped its tap toot) PW tap as got snap accidentally as well as I re perisione it. This happened before and MS recovered from the snapped tap root. I made the MS joke 😃 Anyways...let it be! 30/12/2024 I'll update agai😗n next week: i think this talk for the first few days has set the pace for myself! Enter.the.Void.2009.DC.1080p.BluRay.DDP5.1.x265.10bit-GalaxyRG265 Just finshed watching it! for real i thought it was me! mint film to watch stoned 31/11/2024 Increased light: 293watts DLi 35 ***Happy New Years 2025*** How did you smoke yaself in? Me; diy chemistry kit lol "All the best brothers" ❤️ 💪 Keep it strong! I can only hope this diary can bring HydroSol some limes 🍋 🙏 in the sunshine 🌞 water soluble feed. Zero residues "allegedly". All I have heard is positive things about HydroSol water soluble feed. I had a thot, " The HP 12% i am using for cosmetic reasons is basically "water" with an extra molecule. H202 is basically water and is can be soluble with HydroSol feed. I'll explain more on from my pervious grow diary by Segwaying in and out of this diary with quotations from It and continuing on. 02/01/2025 Dimmed light: 188 25DLi Will update next week, these puppies need to stretch their roots. Nothing much happening! Loads happening really. You know what i mean lol " My little rusties i call them" Free radicals have caused the leafs to have a faint ginger tint when it stole the Oxygen Atom, which released free radicals. Not to worry this will boost growth in the next two week. 04/01/2025 All seems okay. Monkey SlapZ lost a leaf 🍃 😳 but looks like shes recovering fine. I introduced HydroSol way too early. Never mind you live and learn. They are all back in the propagator and I put some fresh seeds down to germinate/same strains. 11/01/2024 All fresh new seeds have sprouted. MS is showing new baby leafs 🍃 recovering from losing a leaf and top. Fresh baby growth is now showing! 13/01/2024 MS n TF has sprouted! Old MS recovered God burnt down Mel Gibsons house for making passion of the christ lol 18/01/2025 Its felt like a long start; experimenting with H202. The 2nd load of seeds i introduced h202 2days after tap root sprouted and HydroSol on day 3. This seems to of worked 20/01/2024 21/01/2024 TF and MS repotted into 5L jerry starter cans with 1.25ml/l 22/01/2024 All looks okay, will slowly 🐌 increase lights over the next week as they creep out of germination. PW hasn't germinated yet, ive placed another PW seed down! Midday Check ✔️ DLI: 28 Watts: 270 Canopy distance est: 35-40inches MS is 3days old after sprouting! Maybe it's just me but she looks older and her colours and texture looks different! Could it be the #HydroSol #H202? Who knows? Will have to replicate the protocols to verify these results on indeed because of HydroSol + H202 (1.5ml/l) 23/07/2025 I put down to germinate Freaky Pablo TerpYz and Magic MarkerxZZTOP 26/07/2025 Lights Rapid Growth has slowed 🐌 down. #The HydroSol feed 6.5ml/5litre of water for germinating....1ml of 12% HP. I think this is the ratio I am after. Being water soluble feed it looks like just water ; well it is 98% water i suppose. 26/07/2025 Midday It seems the HydroSol is working perfectly. It's been a rough sturdy journey to start off with but I've found a steady road to the right ratios. 1ml 12%HP to 5L 6.5ml HydroSol Feed for germinating. Vegging I will slowly increase to double the amount as she 👀 sees fit. It seems the HydroSol is working perfectly.

Others are still germinating in the propagator. 2 in this tent. 1 in loft tent 1 in Sativa tent (loft) thats the plan. Midday: light increased to 310watts DLi (c): 32

The plants look stunning, beautiful strain to grow and work with for sure, I cannot wait to smoke those buds, the fragrance has instantly make me want to run her again most definitely, the stretch has been really noticeable and and both phenos have a lot of flowrs, looks very productive plants, looks like a solid strain, both phenos smell the exact same, this 4th week of flower it's gonna be very exciting, I only water 💦 the medium when dry and that's it, FLO Living soil blends does a sensational performance keeping your plants well fed all the way from seed and also provides you amazing results in terms of quality of the flowers, the smell is so pure and it makes every strain perform to its best, I'm definitely in love with this living soil blend, and also in love with this couple of badazz OG cheese guys. Please stay tuned to see how this ladies keep developing! ❤️💚✌️

Week 8 is over and its starting to look like fall in the tent. Yellowing leaves galore on Pheno 2 and a god fade started on Pheno 1. I have just been feeding with water when dry and keeping vigile of leaves that should come off. Its important to stay aware of the yellowing leaves as they can cause mold issues when they decompose on the plant which in turn also raises humidity and can cause bud rot. Ive had this issue once before when it was particularly humid but I learned to pluck the dead leaves as they are no more use to the plant anyway and also incorporated a de-humidifier. I would say its a must as far as equipment for grows go as you never know when you may need it particularly in humid areas such as where I live and depending on the type of plant, vigorous growth tends to cause more humidity. A flan is also important as it moves the air around the tent and eventually out through the ventilation. Apart from leaf picking, I have just been admiring the tent and watching buds that may look like they will swell up to the point where the stalks cant hold the weight. Its inevitable and I will just tie them up as they start to fall. Anyway only 2 more weeks to go (maybe 1 and a half epending on the last swell and trichome head colour). Until next week ✌️
