Run-off got pretty high on the plants in the main tent when I tested it this week (2300ppm) so I flushed the plants down to around 900 over a few water events with half-strength nutes (~450). I think this, plus (mainly) the plants being too close to the LED caused them to throw some foxtails - particularly the middle plant (although I still think that spindly shit is also partly due to the bag seed pheno). Noob mistake on my end and I didn't realize until it was too late. Now the light is turned down and the run-off is back in a good range. It got high because my auto-watering halos were mostly running off the pots and not sinking in - this is because I filled the pots to the brim with coco (another noob mistake). Looks like I'm hand watering until harvest :) Big Mumma in the blurple tent on the other hand is still killing it.. Apologies for having to upload videos of the microscope - too hard to hold it still and press the button for photos lol.

10/5 9:0 4 AM two of them are doing great since I switched to RO one of them is still doing really bad cause I spilled amino acids when I was waterinvvI think that was Mendo Frost. It was really good when I fucked up too. 10/19 4 AM. I started dissolving the maxi powder into a glass cup on a magnetic stir before I try to mix it up. Seems to work better this way. EC 1.4 PH 5.7. I’m having to use PH up for the first time since I started using RO water. 10/21 115PM They are great, smell perfect and done, but im keeping them for as long as I can. 10/22 2:38AM...Almosst Frank Sinatra Quarter to 3 time! Im smoking some of the RF3 I dried and its just great. 10/22 10AM LIGHTS DOWN to about 600 - 700 PPDF about 55 watts on each light, the double light and half power worked GREAT, a success! 10/23 2 PM 🤖Your plan is solid and practical for late flower in coco, especially with the goal of saving RO water and reusing the medium. At ~14 weeks, both plants are well past the typical Fast Buds window (most of their autos finish in the 9–11 week range from seed). The photo shows mature, stacked buds with the usual late-flower leaf fade, so chopping after this treatment makes sense if the trichomes look ready to you (mostly cloudy with some amber). On the flush steps you described • Tap-water rinse in the bathtub (one plant at a time): Good idea. It will push a lot of residual salts out and also rinse the outside of the fabric bags. Use enough volume to get solid runoff. • 1 gallon FloraKleen at 5 mL/gal: This matches common practice. FloraKleen (General Hydroponics) is designed exactly for this—breaking residual nutrient bonds in coco/hydro without adding more salt. 5 mL/gal is a solid working rate (some charts list 5–10 mL/gal; your dose is fine and not excessive). • Follow with 1 gallon of pH-balanced RO water: Perfect. This finishes the job and leaves the medium cleaner for the chop. Do the tap rinse → FloraKleen → RO sequence as one event (or close together) so the FloraKleen has a chance to work before the final RO rinse. Then let the bags dry down a bit before you chop. After the chop (for reusing the coco) Once the plants are cut: 1 Pull out as much of the root mass as you can (the big root ball and any dense clusters). Leftover roots hold moisture and can harbor issues. 2 If the runoff EC was still elevated after your flush, give the coco one more plain-water rinse. 3 Let the bags dry thoroughly (spread or sit them so air can move) before storing or prepping for the next run. Wet coco sitting around is the main mold risk. 4 Before the next grow, re-buffer the coco with Cal-Mag. Coco’s cation exchange sites pull calcium and magnesium; a short soak or drench with a Cal-Mag solution (roughly 5–7.5 mL/gal of something like CALiMAGic, or equivalent) for several hours, then a light rinse, prevents early deficiencies on the next seedlings. Your sequence already does the heavy lifting for salt removal while the plants are still in the bags. The post-chop root removal + later Cal-Mag buffer is the main extra step that makes reused coco reliable. You’re good to run it the way you laid it out. 10/25 3:38 AM Mendo Frost has been done for about a week. I just kept her going cause I wanted to and the other one the RF three mix back. I can’t tell which one it might be guava, but it is a week behind Mendo Frost and she’s peeking she’s really ready. It’s the nicest smelling plant. I just can’t believe it. I don’t know if it’s guava or strawberry gorilla or one of the other ones doesn’t smell like an apple but wow, it’s just the best I’ve ever done. I can’t believe how great this is. It really just smells like completely fresh like grocery store fruit fresh I’m smoking it right off the plant. I like the way it is when it’s like this. 10/27 3:15AM Everybody gets offended. I have a movie idea for Tracy Morgan. OR. Mexi Tarded Wan Kenobi

04/01/2023 - 56 days since my little girl sprouted from a seed Third week of bloom for my Banana 🍌🍌🍌 Nutrients: Jungle Indabox - the girl responded well to the change in nutrients, so I continue to feed the same as last week when I adjusted the nutrients for flowering Jungle Environ X - bud stimulators 🌼 Bud Candy - bud stimulators 🌼 Atami - ATA Calmag - it is recommended to use Calmag when growing under LED lights I stopped the Hesi Root Complex - no longer recommended this week Training: LST: just a slight LST, I attached some small twigs with string to let more light shine on them 💡💡 Defoliation: I did more defoliation so that the leaves did not overshadow the already forming buds and the plant could breathe freely - Banana was not so leafy, but it still needed a good cut 🍃🍃 Light: Mars Hydro TS1000, the girls are doing amazing under this great light, I can see a big difference compared to my past results 💡💡💓 In general: The girl is very strong, she has a strong stem - trunk, that is the basis for a proper plant 🌴. It is a sativa, which is why it has the highest photoperiod in the tent. Buds are already forming at the ends of the twigs 🌸 and there are many branches 🌾. It resembles a small dense bush. I'm already proud of her 😇 Apology: Being sick I'm late with my diaries, for which I apologize 🤒🤒 The tent emits a soft scent that is mainly reminiscent of fruit, but it is a gentle whiff 🍇🍌 Thanks for the likes and you can follow me on Twitter 🐦: @ Targona666 See you soon 😍

Germinated some seeds from a bag. Not sure if the grower just accidentally pollinated his flower room or if the plants will have hermy genetics /: Either way I've always wanted to grow and currently in a good situation to do so. Once the seeds popped I started doing a ton of research but the plants were moving quicker than I could possibly get up to speed so kinda winging it at this point. I have some good seeds on the way so treating these as "warm-ups" and will be experimenting with different types of training and hopefully just getting the basics under my belt. The largest plant (Big Mumma) popped her roots out the jiffy bag before the end of wk 1 so I pulled off the netting and transplanted her into a 5L fabric pot with Canna Coco mixed w/ 30% perlite. At this point I'm watering with rainwater and mixing with the recommended dose of Professors Go Green (guy at the hydro store recommended I use it as cal-mag). I do not have a way to measure the EC or PH as I'm waiting for my meters to arrive. The tent arrived by the end of the week and I got it setup and transplanted the rest of the girls.

HOT wild heat wave roll through 30c. Had some minor yellow discoloration on the small one, maybe full does of silica +30c heatwave lockout?, didn't bother with PH, but she's still rolling through it. 4th round of topping on both, 32, one more before canopy is filled out and she'll go up. Then maybe one more top to even canopy out will see. Some minor cattepilar damage, but I'm raising an army of Chickadees through nest boxes (bonus pics). A pair of chickadees can use 6000 to 9000 cattepilars to raise a brood to adults. Will hopefuy nab pics of the fledglings any day now, then will try and quickly clean out nest box and they're known to raise a second brood if the food is plenty, and it is Compost tea tommorow, 5g bucket, 20ml fish / Kelp, 2 Tbsp molasses, aerated 24hr, then silica / diablo max 1/2 dose before watering.

Our Do si Dos F1 Hybrid Autoflowering from Zamnesia are in great shape at the moment, they had a bit of a hesitant start but now they are in line or even better than others. They have done so well this last week (I love when they start like a rocket after having fueled up with fertilizers) that we have already reached the good internode for topping autoflowering plants which if you want to do it guys it should be anticipated as much as possible as I explain below. The other one will fly away straight to preserve the main cola which is the main dilemma of topping. The first question you have to ask yourself when topping is, Are you ready to give up the main cola? Applied Techniques - Given the numerous requests from growers, we decided to show you what happens when applying topping + Lst to autoflowering plants. It is very important to anticipate it as much as possible, autoflowering plants go into flowering at about the 5th intenod, you have to anticipate that moment to give the plant the chance to vegetate as much as possible. In general, when you see that there are two good lateral branches you can do topping, they will go into veg as much as possible and you will have a split plant, I have seen very beautiful results, especially in warm periods in which the plant tends to vegetate a lot, in winter we could have a bit of dwarfism but with a lot of resin for sure. So I cleaned everything and cut at the top leaving only the main growth line, called Main Lining, the florets will be lowered during growth and the plant will eventually be like "split" in the main line with the various branches. On photoperiodic plants, however, we will do topping repeatedly, which is not recommended with autoflowering plants so as not to lengthen the times of plants born to finish in 10 weeks too much. The second week (including a few days of germination) we gave Power Roots 1 ml/l, Pure Zym 1 ml/l, Sugar Royal 1 ml/l, Alga Grow 3 ml/l - Plagron nutrients are available at Zamnesia in convenient pack formats for all growing styles.

The time has come! Flowering has been initiated and is off to a good start, The Photoperiod is now running at 11/13 on/off and the intensity of the light has been bumped up to 60% giving me a DLI of aorund 37.5 at 30" hang height in my 2x4. As the plants where topped a bunch I have found in previous grows the stretch will not be as crazy as if I left them on their own, however the increased pot size may negate that effect, only time will tell :D I also gave them a 2nd watering as the last one was leaving the pots a bit to light. This could be their new normal 1gal one week, 2 gal the next separated by a few days. They have all been amended with a 50/50 mix of grow and bloom from Gaia, Also added in some extra Insect Frass, Yeast and Bokashi grains, mixed this all with worm castings and compost for the top dress. added the compost after mixing it into the top layer so it gives it a bit of a blanket. made a little video of it and me watering the plants on a speed run. One thing I need to find is a sprayer head that has a 70-90 degree bend on it. I'm tired of watering from overhead as my wand is straight and does not have a bend. Its made of hard plastic and was thinking I would toss the tip in the oven to soften it up and place a coat hanger though it, then bend it ever so slightly and wait for it to cool, can snip off the wire and pull it out once its all done and have a bent tip. or I can get a 2nd wand attachment for it. Just been so busy have not had time to search for it, the peppers are doing much better as well, after the defoliation from last week they where getting a bit more light but that is all gone now, the plants have taken it back. and they are in shade, the plants seem to like it more. only the one strain likes the intense light of the led's, Fatalii peppers, It might be the hottest ones I'm growing if the goronong don't measure up. The JigSaw peppers are also starting to show some of their variegation in the leaves that make them pretty to grow now they are in the shade more. and its bound to be better then pure purple leaves from the LED"s Butterwort is eating all the gnats as well. so no problem there. Will apply the nematodes later next week to kill em off in the medium. Don't want them getting trapped in the flowers. stupid little fuckers. I left out some of the extras in the water this week as it was its first topdressing, didn't want to stress it out to much, I will be topdressing every week and diving the total ammount of amendments in 4 parts. vs one big feeding at beginning of the month like its been suggested on the label, I find this helps avoid the N burn I normally see and gives them a bit better of a breakdown for flowering period. It worked really well with my G13 Labs Blue Cindy grow so I am repeating the process and will likely make this my new standard. I will also be adding in some Mg into every other water till stretch is done same with a very light feeding of molasses, I know it has been negative in past grows but going to try it out again with much smaller amounts. 1tea/pot, the extra sugars should work wonders on the Bokashi added into the soil and allow it to thrive. Plants are starting to get more of a funk to them as well, So i feel that's what was happening with the gifted plant to my parents smelling up the place, it was just entering flowering as it was not in a tent n the lighting must have been to low. And the little cuttings I did last week are fine, no roots but will soon have a bunch of little clones to go. Just in time for spring. I think that's it. Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

A-1 of a plant just like the gorilla cookies auto. Massive buds with a huge plant structure. This plant will fill up any space you give it. Giant round rungs all over. Super dank when I was wet trimming the plant about every 2 min I had to clean off the gunk on the scissors this plant definitely has some huge tricombs. It doesn’t look like it but when you cut into it you can really see. There buds are gonna be awae to smoke just like the gorilla cookies auto. This strain has potential to breed with some fire

Day 60F The PM on the cheese has gotten significantly worse in the last few days. I think it may have something to do with the constant humidity spikes every time I water. I haven’t been running my humidifier at all in flower so maybe it’s having trouble keeping the RH up during lights on. Just another reason to follow a daily watering schedule. The cheese and slurricane look fucking disgusting and I’m starting to doubt that a peroxide wash can totally fix it. It worked well for my outdoor crop so it should be fine but this time there is probably 3x the amount. I’ll make sure to really soak the buds and rinse them off good. Bbb#1 is flopping over like crazy from the weight. Too late to stake it up now so hopefully it holds until next week. Starting to foxtail a bit but nothing too bad. It is now 100% done and ready for chop. Bbb#2 is just getting frostier and frostier by the day. The purple fade is really coming along nicely too. Might reveg. It is now 100% done and ready for harvest. Black garlic #1 is finally filling out! I can’t believe it. Never heard of a plant packing weight on like that in week 8. The breeder did mention that it packs on weight later but I’m stunned. Taking her to 9.5 weeks. Black garlic #2 is looking very average. Average color, average size buds, average frost, average smell, probably an average yield. And it’s starting to get a bit of PM. Overall not happy. Will be taking her to 9.5 weeks. Zkittlez #1 has pleasantly surprised me. It was a bushy runt in veg but came through. It’s the third frostiest in the tent, super dense, stacked tight, smells great and looks great. It’s already got a nice amount of amber so it’s 100% ready for chop. Slurricane #4 looks insanely frosty even under all that PM. If I can’t wash it off it’s going in the trash. I want to chop this asap but have to cut everything at once unfortunately. It’s 100% ready for harvest. Badazz OG cheese is looking like a decent yielder but doesn’t have much else going for it. I think it still has some filling out to do. I can’t even smell the final profile change yet. The leaves are rotting off very quickly. Taking her 9.5 weeks. I don’t mind harvesting a bit later rather than early. From my outdoor experience, when a plant is picked early it smells like hay and wet grass clippings until it’s been curing for 3 weeks. When I harvest late or at 30-50% amber trichomes it smells like same scent profile it had when growing. Just my experience. I’ve read that the tobacco industry adds calcium and potassium carbonate to their crops to help promote fire holding capacity and to increase the whiteness of ash. Turns out some of the organic amendments I bought last week contain exactly that. I’m going to give each plant a light top dress to see if the tobacco industry is onto something.
