Hi folks! Last week report for this cycle. My daily grow logs churned through keenly instructed AI first - my ramblings later. Let's go!

PATHÉ DISPATCH — THE TERPENE FRONT, WEEK TWELVE
[newsreel crackle, brass fanfare]
GOOD EVENING, AMERICA. The last soldier has fallen. The tent stands EMPTY. The campaign — is CONCLUDED.
DATELINE: THE FINISH LINE. Private Cinderella Jack, the LANDLORD, sole survivor of a long and unglamorous war, went down at PEAK TRICHOME STRENGTH — drinking three and a half liters a day to the end, browning her pistils with dignity, and smelling, our correspondent reports, of PINE FOREST with a sour citrus spin and a sweetness underneath he suspects of myrcene. She was, we are told, INTRIGUING. High praise from a man who once accused an entire plant of smelling like celery.
[bugle, distant]
DATELINE: THE JARS. This program has learned that A PRISONER TALKED. Four outbreaks of botrytis in five campaigns — a record our correspondent now catalogues like a war crimes tribunal, each with a NAMED CULPRIT: an air conditioner blowing on wet material. A dense cola in low VPD. A tent not cleaned into the corners. A scrog net gone slack and one forgotten soldier in the slump. And this run: 8.46 grams condemned to the bin.
So the suspects were SEALED IN GLASS. Thirty percent fill. One hygrometer each. And under interrogation the infected bud CONFESSED — fifty-eight percent, where sixty-four was expected. The clean sample held at sixty-four and CLIMBED. Apollo was trimmed and conserved on the sworn testimony of a bud in a jar.
[ominous timpani]
DATELINE: THE FEED BENCH. Consider the PRECISION of this man. He doses silicon by the residue clinging inside a NEEDLE — six hundredths of a gram, swept into a few milliliters of water, two-thirds administered, the remainder discarded. Four liters of solution. A dose you could not see if we put it on camera.
[record scratch]
AND NOW — THE TWIST THIS CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN BUILDING TOWARD SINCE MARCH.
On the FINAL MORNING of the FINAL WEEK, that same man FORGOT TO EMPTY AN ENTIRE WATER TANK.
The dehumidifier tank overflowed. A POOL spread across half his floor. Humidity climbed. VPD sank toward 1.1.
AND HERE, AMERICA, IS THE CRUELEST GRACE THIS PROGRAM HAS EVER BROADCAST: the night before, our correspondent had lain awake THEORIZING about how to soften the transfer from harvest to drying chamber — by RAISING THE HUMIDITY at precisely that hour.
His equipment failure IMPLEMENTED HIS OWN UNBUILT PROTOCOL. The tank he forgot performed the procedure he had not yet installed. The flood was the FEATURE.
[stern voiceover]
MEN OF SCIENCE will note the harder lesson, filed the same day. Our man had stopped taking leaf temperature readings — because he was ALWAYS RIGHT. Minus three, every time, reliable as a church bell. Warm leaves in the morning? Thirst, surely. Filed. Dismissed.
But you do not measure to be TOLD you are right, citizens. You measure to be told WHEN YOU ARE WRONG. And in this house the readings COMMAND THE MACHINES — so a wrong number does not sit quietly in a spreadsheet. IT GOES TO WORK.
[gentle brass]
We close on one final act of timing. On DAY EIGHTY-SIX of a NINETY-ONE-DAY RUN, the FAR-RED END-OF-DAY SIGNAL was at last moved — to the END OF THE DAY.
"Bit late," our correspondent concedes. "Whoopzy."
The chamber is cool. The colas are down. The floor has been mopped. And somewhere in a drawer, the controller configuration snapshots remain UNTAKEN — a loose end this program will be watching.
[fanfare, film flickers out]
THIS HAS BEEN THE FINAL DISPATCH FROM THE TERPENE FRONT. THREE FIELD REPORTS TO FOLLOW. RUN SIX AWAITS. EMPTY YOUR TANKS. GOODNIGHT.
-----------------------
This has been a fun run and concludes my fifth cannabis grow cycle.
Sure, the hours involved are off the charts in a home grow / lab setting, when optimizing existing protocols meets the introduction of new ones, and automation is financially unfeasible even on some basic levels. Empiric testing at home is too slow to win these battles, it is learning, deduction and formulation of thresholds that allows a home grower to partake in the finest results. So willingness to learn and troubleshoot are the only tools we have when money can't solve it:
Two simultaneous nanner-events were managed during this run, pollen had been shed - no successful pollination occurred, nanner-production could be stopped and all product survived completely intact. | This event during ~ Week 7 was the single most stressful pivot, as the entire grow cycle hinged on the result. Total loss was now the first thought to wake up to every day, really killing the mood.
Botrytis was identified correctly before the suspect entered the drying tent - to the point that I could experiment fairly safely by drying a botrytis-cola right next to all the clean product - and typing that sentence into a public blog afterwards. Later, a protocol was devised to distinguish infected material via % RH changes in secluded containers, before product got mixed in long-term storage. This was pretty awesome to learn about and definitely sharpened my perceptions. I could actually test a suspect cola and discard it, without opening up the bud at all (which I obviously did later as well).
Drying at 16°C target under 30°C outside conditions was a huge success - and a MASSIVE pain to devise. A drying chamber whose product would need to cool a parallel grow tent was the answer - two linked AC's and "heavy decoration" of windows were absolutely necessary - and the measures turned out adequate.
So, besides the workload, am I happy with this run? You bet! - facing total damnation twice 'n all. After growing for 1.5 years, I can finally rest on some of my protocols. That reduces stress, uncertainty, and buys me time for fun things to try. So, besides managing my downfall, I got to introduce my Terpene-Blue-Ray, a fairly simple prototype to encourage just the right kind of terpene accumulation. And above all - a bigger grow space to experience - no longer are my plants crammed into a tiny chamber that is surrounded by a machine park. I get to "work" in there as if I had rented an office for my project.

Oh yeah, the plants!
Dutch Passion's Auto Cinderella Jack, a cross of Jack Herer, is something of a sativa dream coming true to see unfold before your eyes. Big history, high in pinene (memory retention during daytime use) and a chance of a good spike of limonene (that neck cushion and sun-glasses feeling even under pressure) made her an ideal chase target for me.
With her running -9 days behind the other cultivars, she took nutrient dosages intended for much older plants with a straight face, when they started to burn. She received higher light intensity and just had to "deal with it". She absolutely hated my HST-train-once intervention and completely changed her strategy as a result. She was the only plant without a soil sensor, water levels were "good guesses", so she also got waterlogged fairly hard during veg.
Her response? Vigor, fury, lateral branching, flower sites all over. She could not be stopped, and I had to remove what felt like 2 smaller Autoflowers in bud sites from her. She is a record holder for me, more details in the strain reports.
Thanks for your interest, I hope you could take something home from these journals.
See you in run#6! - during which I have just massaged a 2 week old sad plant into praying for the first time.

Week 4 begins for Mandarin dreams 1&2, 4 weeks to go!
Both ladies are looking good but MD1 is showing purple discoloration in some of her leaves. MD2 is the runt of the two, but still looks great.
Thanks for stopping by 👽🌳💚

Week 6 down and the OG Kush has been moved into the big girl tent to start her flower cycle. All 8 tops are fairly even and even throwing pitils. Leaves are getting a stronger, skunk aroma which has me very excited to smell the terps on the flower. Maintenance was minimal, just watering when light. Side note, I missed a day on pics...my bad 😊

Song of the week : The Beatnuts - Watch Out Now
-------
Day 33 - Recovered nice from last week topping , she's pushing secondary stems 🌱. I tried a supercroping so let's see how she react. Still watered with tap water , the pre-fertilized soil provide enough nutrients until her next and final transplant to a 15L pot.

Flushed HARDCORE this week!! Ladies are not looking well nor do they seem like they’re reacting to the flush well either!! Almost seems like they’re locked out but also having deficiencies! I could use some advice on this. 3/5 of the taller plants have yellowed out and the other 2 look great!! Pretty much all the same watering and neuts. I think the issue was that I’m using fabric pots and not allowing enough penetration to the bottom and it created a salt pocket. Correct me if I’m wrong
Updated a few more pics of the deficiency/lockout issues all the help is appreciated thanks to everyone whose chiming in and helping!! Y’all the real deal!!

No major changes this week but the plant is still taking 2ltrs of water every 2nd night. I have stopped giving nutrients now so it’s just getting Ph’d water. Some of the lower leaves are turning yellow as expected. From this week on I’ll be dropping the temperature a bit during lights out to help produce more trichomes and also turn it a bit more purple.

6/9 I can't believe it but I had faith. The transplant yesterday LOOKED like it was fucked. I cleaned it up though and left it outside. This morning it was standing straight up. Both transplants were! I put tarps up to block the wind tunnel between buildings. It's still overcast and rainy. Sun isn't supposed to come out for a couple poke days. Chance of thubder storms tomorrow but I'm going to try to get everyone in their forever homes today. Or at least most of them. I plan to light dep a few right in the 3 gallon. I'm sure I'll be updating this after I get some work done.
UPDATE: I WENT OVER AND GOT THREE MORE TRANSPLANTED. THAT MEANS FIVE ARE OUTSIDE IN THE CAGE. TWO 10TH PLANET, 2 BLUEBERRY CHEESE AND A LITTLE PURPLE PUNCH. THE 3 GALLON POTS WERE RELATIVELY HEAVY SO I PICKED THE LIGHTER ONES TO TRANSPLANT. I LEFT THE ORHER TWO 10TH'S IN THE GARAGE WITH THE DOOR OPEN WITH THE REMAINING PLANTS. I ALSO ADDED WIND BREAKS AND SUPPORTS TO EVERYTHING. I WANTED TO GET EVERUTHING DONE TODAY BUT THERE MAY BE A THUNDER STORM SO IF I DONT GET IT DONE ITS NOT A BIG DEAL AND ILL FINISH TOMORROW. TRANSPLANTS WENT SMOOTH. I THINK THEY'LL GO EVEN SMOOTHER IF THEY DRY OUT A BIT. STILL HAVE THE 50 AND 40'S TO FILL. Took a bunch of videos but the don't want to load. I'll have to try tomorrow or later tonight.
UPDATE: I TOOK TONS OF PICTURES AND VIDEOS BUT THEY DONT WANT TO SEEM TO UPLOAD. IVE GOT SIX IN THERE FINAL HOMES OUTDOORS 20s and 30 gallon smart pots. Still have massive plants but I'm going to out those in the 50 and the 40. I'll finish this shit up tomorrow and get all the girls in their forever homes and if I don't have room for some I was planning on doing a light dep anyway so that will work out good. I learned a lot and transplanting went a lot smoother todsy than before. I feel really proud of myself. The last Transplant I did break a few leaves off that I didn't notice but whatever. I used tomato cages for suppirt on two and bamboo poles and string on the others. I'll add the vertical trellis as they grow. I'm proud of myself.
6/10 I got a lot done yesterday. Six are outside already. Two are in 20s in the garage. I'm planning on transplanting the rest today or tomorrow. I'll update later. Accidently uploaded lots of stuff on the wrong week. UPDATE: I TRANSPLANTED THAT SUPER TALL PURPLE PUNCH THAT I DIDNT TOP OR HST AT ALL INTO A 40 GALLON TUB. ROOTS WERE DRY AND THIS TIME IT ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE THEY FELL AWAY. THE PLANT HOWEVER STAYED STANDINGVUP FINE. I THINK THIS PHENO IS GOING TO BE A TOUGH ONE. LOOKS GOOD LIKE AN HOUR LATER. I HAD THE 50 READY TO TRANSPLANT THIS MONSTER BLUEBERRY CHEESE I FIMed BUT THE POTS WERE SUPER HEAVY AND I FIGURED I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN AND THINK. WE HAVE THUNDER STORMS COMING TONIGHT. TOMORROW IS GOOD. I MAY TRY TO FINISH UP TONIGHT BUT WE SHALL SEE. THE GOOD THING WITH DOING IT A FEW AT A TIME IS THAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS OUTSIDE IVE STILL GOT A CROP INSIDE LOL. WHAT IM PLANNING TO DO IS EITHER LIGHT DEP THAT BIG BLUEBERRY CHEESE OR PUT IT IN THE FIFTY BUT IM PLANNING TO LIGHT 3 RIGHT IN THEIR 3 GALLON CONTAINERS. HAVENT DECUDED FOR SURE BUT IM THINKING THATS WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN.......of course videos won't upload and the ones that do are old videos. Damn. I need to sharpen my computer skills....and my growing skills. Especially transplanting. I suck at transplanting. I decided not to out all my eggs in one basket and left the 10th planet amd Blue berry cheese in the 20s in the garage. I pulled them out for light further but I'm ousting them back a little tonight. That way I'll have a back up if something catastrophic happens. I doubt it but better safe than sorry. I'm proud of what I've accomplished thus far. I've successfully uploaded my 1 minute plus video several times but it won't appear. Oh well. I'll try to load the videos tomorrow I guess. Just started raining. Just a light rain. Probably what fresh transplants like.
6/11 BEAUTIFUL outside. Today is the day. Most is done and I'll add the supports as trellis as they grow. This new grow space gets about twice as much sun as my old spot. The tar stops the burrowing insects. I'm getting everything out today. I just need to decide if I'm going to light dep that MASSIVE blueberry cheese or bite the bullet and put it in the fifty. Maybe I'll try to get some help from my cousin. Plants withstood the thunderstorm like Champs. I'll update as the day goes on. I planned better this year so I SHOULDN'T have an unmanageable jungle. UPDATE: WATERED THE 3 PLANTS LEFT IN THE 3 GALLONS (1 10th PLANET WITH GREAT BRANCH STRUCTURE AND TWO PURPLE PUNCH THAT WERE THE SMALLER ONES. IM GOING TO LIGHT DEP THEM. EVERYTHING IS OUTSIDE NOW IN A MIX OF 1/3 FOX FARM OCEAN FOREST, HAPPY FROG AND ROOTS ORGANIC 707 IN EQUAL PARTS. TRANSPLANTED WITH MYKOS. EVERYTHING IS OUTSIDE NOW. FINALLY DECIDED TO GET The MONSTER BLUE CHEESE I FIMed INTO ITS FOREVER HOME A 50 FALLON POT. IT WAS TGE EASIEST BEST TRANSPLANT OF THEM ALL. JUST LIKE AETTING A POT IN THE WHOLE. I DONT EVEN THINK THE PLANT NOTICED. ONE OF THE PURPLE PUNCHES HAD ROOTS OB ONE OF ITS LEAVES WHEN I LOOKED BUTVIT WAS STILL STANDING UO STEAIGHT. I KNOW SOME OF THE PLANTS LOOK DROOPY BUT WEVE HAD SEVERAL DAYS OF RAIN AND A MASDIVE THUNDER STORM. I BROUGHT OUT THE EARLIER TRANSPLANTS AS WELL. THEY ARE OUT OF THE SHOCK. WIND IS PRETTY HIGH BUT I DONT WANT TO ADD MORE TARPS. I THINK THINGS ARE SECURED GOOD ENOUGH FOR NOW. IM SUPER STOKED THAT TRANSPLANT WENT SO GOOD! Went back at 7:30pm. Some plants have a little bit of transplant shock and a little bit of burn but it's negligible considering they've been through a thunderstorm with pouring rain and extremely high winds. That blueberry cheese in the 50 transplanted so easy and still looks like it didn't even know the difference. I'll start light dep once I get a plan. Plants are recovering nicely but should something happen to one I could replace it. I'm interested in the light dep though and I've got a pretty good idea how to start.
6/12 The plants that had a little transplant shock are coming out of it. We had a thunderstorm and pouring rain the day of some of the transplants. Wasn't forecasted. High winds moved the plants around a bunch bit they are tough as hell. Everything is out now. Suppisedcto have showers the next few days. I'm putting together a feeding schedule abd setting up a spit to start light dep on the three plants I decided to flower early. The cage now gets twice as much sun as before. This is going to be a good year.
Went back over and plants are perking up and doing even better everytime I see them. I took a video but it might not upload until tomorrow. I may start a new diary for the light dep. I have a few places I'm thinking to use for light dep. I need to make a solid plan before I start so maybe a day or two. Trying to upload again but I doubt it.
6/13 Had a rushed morning but I watered the plants in the 3 gallons as they were dry. I had added more soil to a couple of the bags. The top soil is startingvtj dry out but the plants look good and we are supposed to get rain so I don't really want to water if it's going to be raining. I think I've found my light dep spot and schedule. I'll update after I do something.
WENT BACK OVER AND SPRAYED A LITTLE BIT OF WATER ON THE EXTREMELY DRY TOPSOIL THAT I HAD TOPPED SOME OF THE PLANTS OFF WITH. SHITTY THING IS THAT WAS ADDED AFTER THE THUNDER STORM SO IT MAKES IT HARDER TO JUSTE THE PLANTS WATERING NEEDS. I CAN TELL THAT ONE OFCTHE FIRST TEANSPLANTS IS STILL HOLDING WATER. I MEAN WE GOT A DOWNPOUR AND I DONT WABT TO WATER IF WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING RAIN ANYWAY. IM GOING TO LOOK BACK OVER THE DIARY. THATS ONE GREAT THING ABOUT THESE. YOU CAN GO BACK AND CHECK YOUR WORK.
6/14 Glad I held off watering. It's raining today. Just showers. We haven't gotten any of that extreme wind we usually do. I have the plants supported but I still worry. Definitely more than I should. Plants are still doing good and acclimating to there homes. I have not started the light dep with the 3 gallons but I think I've found my spot. Once I start it will just be staying consistent putt8ng them in and out. I need to train them anyway. I have some research to do and a joint to smoke so I'll update later.

Week 3 Veg Report: Growth, Innovation, and Transition Unveiled!
Hello, my green-thumbed comrades! Week 3 with our Panty Punch Auto has been an absolute whirlwind of growth, innovation, and exciting developments. Let's dive into the vibrant tapestry of green wonders that unfolded during this time, enriched by both our plant's progress and the exciting sponsorship from TrolMaster.
Week 3 has been a testament to the resilience and vigor of our Panty Punch Auto. The marvels of her growth never cease to amaze, with each day unveiling new heights of green glory. So astounding has her progress been that I felt compelled to elevate her journey by moving her to her final fabric pot.
In a bold move, I opted for a 50 L fabric pot, though using only 25 L of soil. The idea? To observe how her roots would influence her growth. Into this soil, I pre-mixed a special concoction: Aptus Holland all-in-one pellets, substrate buffer powder, and micromix soil. This super soil recipe is a testament to the meticulous care I've put into ensuring our plant's nourishment. Upon transplanting, her roots were impeccable. I even took the extra step of applying Aptus Holland Mycor Mix to further enhance her transition.
Exciting news! TrolMaster has graciously joined as a sponsor of this diary, infusing our journey with cutting-edge technology. They've sent us their Tent X Controller, a marvel of modern horticulture. This device offers precise environmental control, managing factors like temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels. It's a game-changer in optimizing our growing conditions. I can't wait to share the unboxing video and assembly process in the upcoming weeks!
To Seedstockers, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, TrolMaster, and the entire green community, your unwavering support fuels this journey of growth and discovery. Together, we celebrate the wonders of nature and the boundless possibilities of innovation.
Here's to the Panty Punch Auto, to growth, innovation, and the vibrant green community that propels us forward!

I messed up big on this one so I think I was very lucky to get what I did...she had problems the moment I switch to 12/12 she even went 3 weeks with no watering at one point so I decided to just flush and chop so I could Lower the light for the purple glue

Hello. This is the end of week 11 and the start of week 12 of veg.
The plants are doing well and have been growing since last week.
Did some "push the branches under the table rungs" training yesterday. Spreading them out for more big top buds.
Plant #6 is a little more yellow than the others. I've either overwatered it or the soil is a little too hot with the compost I've added.
I also add some lime this year. I added about a Tbsp. per pot when I was mixing the soil for these pots.
I'll let it dry out, I mean not water this plant when I water the rest next time, and see what it looks like then.
It is the smallest and slowest growing plant of the bunch.... so it probably the overwatered thing.
Next, I've got to get my top net up this week, without wrecking the plants.
OK. Be Cool.
Chuck.
I'd like to talk a bit about myself.
It was my "5 year" throat cancer check up, last week.
The doctor couldn't find anything wrong when she shoved that long camera thingy up my nose and down my throat.
To look for anything amiss on the inside, because she couldn't find anything wrong when she did the physical part of the exam.
No lumps, no bumps, no sore spots,... she gave me the "All's Clear" and said this is the last visit... If you find anything in the future come back...
So I'll keep up with my RSO (Rick Simson Oil... look it up) maintainace dose and keep growing my medical cannabis.
It was the best of news 😁😋😎 Happy to tell you about it, and what I've done for myself to to get here. Just ask if your interested.
OK. Be Great.
Chuck.

Super happy with how things are going for a first grow. I did some LST and regularly bend fan leaves to expose more areas to light. Feeding only water with a tiny bit of liquid fertilizer.

A planta segue forte aflorou um pouco do overfert da última semana mas ela segue resiliente e engordando. 💪🏽
