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! [START OF WEEK 15] ========================================================== ---------- [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] ---------- Heady OG BX1 #1 [Round4 ~Wk8] - WEEK 15 - Pre-Bloom [Stretch Wk1] TKO [Round2 ~Wk13] - WEEK 15 - Pre-Bloom [Stretch Wk1] ----------- [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ------------ Garlic Budder OG#1 - WEEK 07 - Full Veg Garlic Budder OG#2 - WEEK 07 - Full Veg Gorilla Goat #1 - WEEK 07 - Full Veg Gorilla Goat #2 - WEEK 07 - Full Veg 07/28/25 → 08/03/25 This Week's Estimated Goals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DLI: ~13 mol/m²/d PPFD: ~300 μmol/m²/s VPD: ~1.0 kPa This Week's Meter Readings & Averages ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Light On/Off: 19:00 - 07:00 | Wattage: ~326.5W [LV04] Distance From Canopy: ~31”, 27” DLI: ~15.60 mol/m²/d PPFD: ~361 μmol/m²/s VPD: ~0.71 kPa Soil %: [49.6, 36.1, 49.0, 47.1, 42.6, 43.0, 43.0, 44.6] ========================================================== Day 01 - Monday - 07/28/25 - Total Days: 106 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.6°F [28.7°C] - Humidity: 82.0% - VPD: 0.72 kPa - Soil %: [50, 36, 49, 47, 43, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [+04:07]: Ca-Caw!! Let’s get this flower cycle started! --- Time to switch the clocks from 18/6 to 12/12 which will begin the stretch to flower! Let’s go! --- Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Main Tent [4x4] controller, --- Changed the schedule from 'Vegetative [18/6]' to 'Flower [12/12]' --- Also made sure to sync the settings for each device. The current settings are: ------ GROW LIGHT (MARS HYDRO FC-6500): --------- The Mode is set to ‘ON MODE’ --------- The START/END times are set to 07:00PM/07:00AM --------- The SUNRISE/SUNSET Duration value is set to 20Min --------- The MAX value is set to 4 ------ EXHAUST FAN (AC INFINITY CLOUDLINE T6): --------- The Mode is set to ‘CONTINUOUS AUTO’ --------- The Temperature HIGH/LOW trigger’s value are set to 85°F/OFF --------- The Humidity HIGH/LOW trigger’s value are set to 87%/OFF --------- The MIN/MAX values are set to 1/8 --------- The Temperature Dynamic Transition buffer value is set to 2°F --------- The Humidity Dynamic Transition buffer value is set to 2% ------ HUMIDIFIER (AC INFINITY CLOUDFORGE T7): --------- The Mode is set to ‘CONTINUOUS TARGET’ --------- The VPD target value is set to 1.0kPa --------- The MIN/MAX values are set to 0/8 --------- The VPD Dynamic Transition buffer value is set to 0.2kPa ------ HEATER (AC INFINITY THERMOFORGE T3): --------- The Mode is set to ‘CONTINUOUS TARGET’ --------- The Temperature target value is set to 78°F --------- The MIN/MAX values are set to 0/8 --------- The Temperature Dynamic Transition buffer value is set to 2°F --- The only difference is the ON/OFF times for the grow light.

Looking great my ladies! --- Heady OG (BX1 #1) is continuing to blow up with more tops! The canopy is looking incredible! --- TKO is also looking great with tops everywhere! She has taken over this grow and hyped that - [+01:54]: Trained and tucked the top growth under the netting. --- Canopy is flat and even again. Great! --- Day one into the 12/12 flip and growth is looking great! - [+01:56]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 46% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 50% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 47% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 40% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 41% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 40% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 44% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [+01:59]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mothers are all vegging along and the canopy is bushy and beautiful! --- Pots also look good too. No gnats! - [+02:01]: Checked on the propagation dome (in the 3x3), --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Clone growth looks great for the most part and getting curious on root growth. --- Heady OG looks green, but she has been very droopy the entire time. Not sure if this cutting will root, but there is no yellowing. May have messed up something in cloning. --- The TKO clone looks beautiful. incredible! --- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with RO water. - [+02:05]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Over the past week or so, been research about Lactobacillus and the organic benefits. Plan to give it a try and will start the process tomorrow. --- Shout out to Jeremy at BuildASoil for the YT videos and the Lacto recipe! --- LOYAL TO THE SOIL FOR LIFE! --- Anyways, Onwards Ensign! Day 02 - Tuesday - 07/29/25 - Total Days: 107 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.3°F [28.5°C] - Humidity: 80.4% - VPD: 0.78 kPa - Soil %: [50, 36, 49, 47, 43, 43, 43, 44] ----------------------------------- - [14:24]: Okay! Time to start some Lacto Serum! --- This lactobacillus serum is used to improve soil health and nutrient availability. This LAB serum can also be used to create fermented plant or fruit juices (FPJ/FFJ). --- Anyways, --- First need to make the rice wash solution! --- Filled a mini wide-mouth mason jar with 1 cup of White Rice. ------ Added 1 cup of RO Water --- Mixed the rice and water for a bit. --- Covered the jar with a paper towel and rubber-band. ------ [ ~10 MINUTES LATER ] - [14:38]: Great! --- Mixed the rice and water again before pouring a little over 1/4 cup into a mini wide-mouth mason jar. --- Covered the jar with a paper towel and rubber-band. --- The current room temps are around 80°F --- To start the microbial activation, going to let this rice water solution sit for a few days. - [14:45]: Smelled the solution through the paper towel. --- The solution smells like flour. 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. Day 03 - Wednesday - 07/30/25 - Total Days: 108 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.6°F [28.7°C] - Humidity: 82.1% - VPD: 0.72 kPa - Soil %: [49, 36, 48, 46, 43, 43, 43, 44] ----------------------------------- - [23:36]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw!! 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! The canopy is looking beautiful! - [23:59]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 55% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 49% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 46% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 42% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 47% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 47% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 40% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [+00:03]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Wow mother growth is raging again! --- Really wish I can flip these ladies to flower, but don’t have the space. --- Plan to start another round of mother cycling soon. 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. Day 04 - Thursday - 07/31/25 - Total Days: 109 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.5°F [28.6°C] - Humidity: 81.2% - VPD: 0.75 kPa - Soil %: [49, 36, 49, 46, 43, 43, 43, 44] ----------------------------------- - [08:42]: Checked on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Both growth and pots are looking great! - [08:43]: Checked on the propagation dome, --- Clones both look bad and good. --- Concerned about Heady OG, but TKO has been healthy and perky the whole way. - [08:45]: Time to check for roots. --- Heady OG had one tiny root. 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.

Let’s go ladies! Wow the garden is packed and looking incredible! --- Heady OG and TKO are looking perky and stretching through the netting with nodal growth everywhere! --- By far my healthiest grow cycle yet! - [22:21]: Did a bit of training. --- Slightly tucked and spread Heady OG a bit more to fill in the front left quadrant. --- Just going to let the rest grow! - [22:25]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 52% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 54% - [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] ------ 46% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 48% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [22:34]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! The veg garden is beautiful and wow growth is raging! --- Wow! The canopy is already stretching upwards and will probably need to train again tomorrow. --- Checked on the clones, --- Nice!! Growth is all around healthy and looking great! --- Heady OG looks less droopy. I think. --- TKO is looking perfectly healthy and already getting taller! Wow! --- Nice! Both Heady cuttings are looking healthy and not droopy. - [22:38]: Time to swap the aloe water out! --- Replaced the solo cup with a clean one filled with fresh RO water (1.5cups). --- Going to let this soak for another day before transplanting into Coco Coins for rooting. - [22:44]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/02/25 - Total Days: 111 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 82.6°F [28.1°C] - Humidity: 83.2% - VPD: 0.66 kPa - Soil %: [50, 36, 50, 47, 42, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [07:59]: Quick morning check on the propagation dome (in the 3x3 veg tent). --- Ooo yea! The clones and cuttings are looking healthy and green! --- Heady OG (BX1 #1) is droopy and seems to be recovering. I think? --- TKO is looking healthy and looking beautiful! --- Nice! Both Heady OG (BX1 #2 and #3) cuttings are looking good! These cuttings are quite a bit smaller than the last round, but they are healthy and green! - [20:06]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! Wow the canopy is thriving! --- Heady OG is looking healthy and perky! --- Wow! TKO is stacking up with nodal branching and crowning is everywhere with perky tops! - [20:13]: Did a bit of tucking on the front left quadrant. --- Could have trained Heady OG another week in veg before flipping to flower, but oh well. TKO needed to be flipped. - [20:32]: 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] ------ 66% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 47% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 47% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 44% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 42% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 43% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] --- Needed to swap out the batteries for TKO’s top soil sensor (CH03). --- Apparently there is a slight flaw with the programing on the WittFlows. Since the watering function is based on the channel and not the sensor, when TKO’s top sensor cuts out, the new CH03 (which is TKO’s bottom sensor) takes over. --- Anyways, - [20:38]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Veg garden is looking beautiful and wow top growth needs more training! - [20:53]: Super-cropped the top growth a bit. --- Lowered the canopy a few inches. --- Growth is getting out of control! Wow! Need to take cuttings soon to start the cycling process. --- Anyways! - [20:54]: Checked on the clones, --- Wow clone growth is looking very good! --- Heady OG seems to be recovering nicely in the soil and I’m getting more confident that she’s going to make it. Nice! --- TKO is looking great! She’s going to root and will be ready for transplant in a week or so. --- Both Heady OG cuttings are looking healthy and ready to be rooted! --- Time to plant the second round of Heady OG (BX1) cuttings! - [21:13]: Filled a measuring cup with 1.5 cups of RO water. ------ Added a pinch of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] ------ Added 1/64tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1/32tsp of Mycrobe Complete --- Mixed the solution thoroughly. - [21:17]: Dropped 2 Coco Coins into the measuring cup. --- The coins immediately started to expand. ------ [ ~10 MINUTES LATER ] --- Took each fully saturated Coco Coin and temporarily placed them in half-cut solo cups. --- Using a squeeze bottle filled with Clonex, - [21:38]: Gently filled each pre-made hole with Clonex rooting gel. --- Time to plant the cuttings! - [21:43]: Using a pair of clean trimmers, made a final 45° cut. --- Also stripped and scrapped some of the stem’s outer membrane. --- To help with planting, gave each Coco Coin a squeeze to loosen the coco. --- Made sure to insert each stem straight and snug with the tip about a 1/4 inch from the bottom of the Coco Coin. --- Also secured the stem by pinching and pressing in the sides of the Coco Coin. --- After both cuttings were planted, --- Temporarily took the clones out of the propagation tray. Also placed the plug tray back in. - [21:53]: Placed both Coco Coins into the propagation dome’s tray. --- Since these cuttings are both identical cultivars, no need to really name. --- Added 1/2 cup of RO water to the bottom of the tray. --- Since I’m not using the dome lid (which is currently hanging above the tray), misted a couple of clear cups with RO water. - [21:55]: Covered both cuttings. --- Will need to mist the cups for the first few days in the tray. --- While rooting the cuttings, noticed that both clones (Heady OG BX1 and TKO) need to be watered already. --- Let’s go! - [22:02]: Took the initial starting weight range of both clones before watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 #1 » 261.4g → 301.2g ------ TKO » 240.9g → 301.4g --- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet] --- All phenos were last watered 2 days ago. --- Took the starting weight of both clones before watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 weighed 278.2g ------ TKO weighed 253.5g --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted the straw mulch of both cups with RO water. --- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible. --- Misted 10-20 sprays. Waited a moment, then misted again. --- Repeated this process for both cups. --- There was no runoff. - [22:18]: Took the saturated weight of both clones after watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 weighed 278.2g ------ TKO weighed 253.5g --- Marked the final wet weight on the back of each cup. Also marked the watering date on the front. - [22:27]: Placed both phenos back into the tent. --- Done! Grow strong little ones! - [22:33]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Nice! --- Both Heady OG cuttings are also looking healthy and look better than the first attempt (the recovering clone). --- Misted both cups with RO water. - [19:06]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw!! Woah these ladies are definitely in full stretch! These girls are getting taller by the hour! Wow! --- Heady OG is looking beautiful and she is exploding with upwards growth! The middle of the canopy is basically at the same height as TKO. Incredible! --- Ooo yea! TKO is crushing it! Wow! She’s a good 7 inches above the scrog netting! --- The canopy is getting stacked with nodal growth! This garden is ramping up to be my best grow cycle yet! - [19:14]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 54% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 37% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 50% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 41% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 41% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 47% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 47% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 49% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [19:16]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Wow veg growth is raging with health and vigor! --- Mothers are looking beautiful and canopy is bushy! --- Nice!

I think. - [19:54]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. - [19:58]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Another week done and the garden is vibing and thriving! --- Next week will be the end of the stretch phase and as growth slows down, will hopefully see signs of budding. --- Ca-Caw! 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]

Yo growmies! While all of Berlin was getting high at Mary Jane 2024, I paid my ladies a visit: Remember last week's manic defoliation? Yeah, let's just say I went a little Edward Scissorhands on the Pineapple Poison. It's because last year's monstrous Gelato that took two days to harvest (my arms were killing me!). This year's mission: big, juicy colas and a speedy harvest (last year it took us 2 days!). Well, the good news is, the Pineapple Poison is a tough cookie (or should I say, pineapple?). She bounced back like a champ! She's still on the short and bushy side, so I'm giving her a break from the shears this week. Just a few tiny shoots close to the main stem got evicted to keep those main colas in the spotlight. Speaking of spotlights, I also made a trippy video to test visuals for the contest. Let me know what you think of the hazy, dream-like vibe. Is it artsy or just accidentally blurry? You be the judge! Oh, and I discovered a couple of resident snails on the Pineapple Poison. Thankfully, these little guys seem to be no harm. We'll call them our "ganja garden guardians". In fact, I noticed with every outdoor grow that Cannabis plants create a tiny ecosystem for all kinds creepers and crawlers who like to soak up the flower fumes and chill out in the leafy shade, Stay tuned, growmies! Next week, we'll see if the Pineapple Poison keeps on churning out those juicy colas. And who knows, maybe I'll find a way to channel my inner pruning master without turning this into a harvest marathon again! High fives all around!

Great week this week :) been really fattening up and putting out a really sweet sugary smell. Really liking the purpling I’m getting in the one. Had one of my males accidentally pop too soon so might end up with a few seeds :p

- just water feedings from now and might start defoliating in week 8 to prepare for harvest

5/3 - topped between 5th and 6th node, removed first node, pinned branches out flat, removed 2 big fan leaves blocking the lower branches, watered and fed, gave a bit over one quart. She's showing pistils already! 5/5 - repositioned the training wires and removed the top 2 large fan leaves. One of the lower branches reached the side of the container, so I topped it there.

Erntezeit! Getrocknet wurde 9 Tage bei ~55% Luftfeuchtigkeit und 20 grad. Trocken getrimmt. Alle Popcorn nugs und Verschnitt zu Hash weiterverarbeitet.

Les petites pousse bien aucun soucis

First week of bloom 💯💚

Week Two: The seedlings received their first and second feedings of Innovating Plant Products. Along with one just a plain watering. (Feed / Feed / Water). The first feeding was on 5/21 of 900 ppm of the veg nutrient line. The pH was 6.3 The second feeding was on 5/24 of 700 ppm of the veg nutrient line. The was 6.4 After assessing the first feeding it was felt the PPM was a bit high for their first feeding. We could have easily done this in reverse order. On 5/26 the plants were given just plain water to finish out their week. One of the seedlings appeared to be a bit deformed and has since been tossed. This one seed didn't germinate well, but we thought we would give it go. Assessing the seedling we simply opted to pull it.

Hello Growmies, As we step into the eighth week of our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids' flowering stage, the dance of growth and aroma continues to enchant our senses. These delightful plants, sharing their space with Epic Buzz and Red Banana Pudding varieties, inch ever closer to the pinnacle of their bloom. The Watermelon Candy cultivars are flourishing with an undeniable zest, their foliar tapestry thick with the potential of what's to come. The air is thick with their intoxicatingly sweet scent, a testament to their namesake, and their buds are expanding with satisfying robustness. Plant #1 is maintaining its lead with a striking bud formation, clearly thriving in the consistent environment of the Tent-X system. Plant #2 and Plant #3 are not far behind, with each showing a wealth of budding sites and a sprawling canopy that speaks to a bountiful harvest ahead. Despite being under a 12/12 light cycle along with the photoperiod plants, which may limit their yield compared to a 20/4 cycle, these plants are putting on a splendid show. They continue to swell, their trichome-frosted buds promising a powerful and flavorful finale. Nutrition continues on a carefully scheduled five-day rotation, our blend of Alga Bloom, Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca nurturing these beauties into their late flowering phase. The TrolMaster system diligently logs every parameter, ensuring our VPD and PPFD values are consistently optimized for peak performance. As the eighth week unfolds, we see the evidence of our meticulous care in the uniform health and structure of the plants. The internodal spaces remain tight, the stems sturdy, and the flowering sites increasingly impressive. With anticipation building for the harvest that lies ahead, we reflect on the journey so far. It's a path marked by shared knowledge and collective experience, all leading us toward what promises to be a remarkable culmination of our efforts. Stay lifted, Salokin

It’s week 5 of flowering, and things are looking fantastic! The adjusted nutrients for the coco substrate have clearly made a difference, as both plants are thriving and continue to develop thick layers of trichomes. ✨ Interestingly, the non-LST plant is starting to show some unique color variations, which is surprising given that both are from the same strain. This unexpected twist adds a bit of excitement, and I’m curious to see how it will develop over the next few weeks. When it comes to scent, the differences are striking! The LST variant has a bold and distinct Lemon Haze aroma—zesty and citrusy 🍋💨 while the non-LST plant gives off a fruity-sweet smell that’s incredibly rich and inviting. 🍓🍭 Unfortunately, my camera broke this week, and now I’m dealing with some low-quality pictures. 📷😔 While it’s frustrating not to capture the plants in their full glory, I’ll do my best to document their progress as clearly as possible. Overall, both plants are doing great, and I’m looking forward to seeing how they turn out in the final stretch! 💚

This is a great strain from a great seed company in Canada, 34 street seeds. I have had great results from germination to harvest with their strains and these Cookies are no different. Nice tight nugs, some great tasting hard hitting smoke 💨 They grew easily enough, no disease or weirdness that couldn’t be solved by proper NPK. This would be a great strain for beginners looking for an easy harvest, with some good bud to show. I definitely did not maximize the potential of this strain this go around, but I still have 2 seeds from the 5 and it will make it back to my garden again. ❤️🇨🇦😎💨

Hoy 03/10/2022 siguen en crecimiento sobresaliendo en altura ya que se estiraron mucho al buscar la luz. En el transcurso de la semana las cambiare a una luz mas fuerte y cambio de maceta final que sera de 1 galon que viene hacer 3.78541 litros para ser preciso.

May 10, 2024 Day 85 A new week and I'm not sure these 2 are ready for flushing. They have way too many white pistils. Plenty of orange, though. Banana Purple Punch A has more orange pistils. Both got a gallon of nutrient water today. So they are definitely still drinking somewhat heavily. And they haven't slowed down yet. I'll keep an eye on them though. Flushing will have to happen sometime. I'd say in the next 3 waterings. That's just a guess based on their current progress. It just seems that they aren't done swelling and there's absolutely no purple coming through yet. Banana Purple Punch A still looks great. Her buds are starting to weight down the taller tops and they are slightly leaning toward the outside of the plant. It's actually quite good. It's opening up even more space for the lowers to get as much light as possible. Air flow is great as well. This is especially important because she is in the back directly under a clip fan. So it's more prone to mold. At least that's what happened in my last grow. This time I have another clip fan across from this one, so the air circulates throughout the whole tent, top to bottom. Banana Purple Punch B looks great! She's not bending any tops, but I don't expect her to with how strong her branches are. Practically immovable. However, she's definitely getting more jiggly. And she has huge buds top to bottom. I wonder if that's the reason she doesn't budge. No room. Lol. Honestly, she may be really compact, but I have her branches spread out enough for good airflow. There's just a couple of clusters that are a bit too dense with foliage, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. Lots of airflow and light. She's a bit behind her sister plant. Way more white pistils and orange on this one. No signs of purple whatsoever. Just a healthy growing plant. I'll be checking trichomes later today if I'm up to it. I hurt my back earlier. Regardless of that, I'll be getting trichome pics today or tomorrow. Probably tomorrow with videos at the end of the week. It's been quite some time since I last took trichome pics. Bad planning on my part. However, I'm excited to see how much further along they are from last time. I won't be changing the light for another few days I think. Then I'll drop the power down. As I said before, I don't think they are ready for flushing, so not ready for light changes. The environment is still a bit off. Today the temp is 76° but the humidity is still high at 56%. This is sure to ruin something. I'm still trying to get the humidity down. I have a feeling I just don't have enough air exchange in my bed room. I'm going to continue messing with it until it's right though. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 54.2% VPD: 1.29 kPa May 11, 2024 Not a lot going on today. Just some pictures. Banana Purple Punch A is looking really good. She looks to have another week or so. I'm really confused as to why my plants take so long to grow and finish up. Banana Purple Punch B has completely caught up with her sister plant. She has the same amount of orange pistils. That tells me there isn't much left to go. If she caught up, that means Banana Purple Punch A is even closer to being done than I think. Maybe. I'll check the trichomes again tomorrow. No pics unless they are done. I doubt they will be. Especially Banana Purple Punch B. On the other hand Banana Purple Punch A could have only a couple days left and just isn't going to turn purple or fade at all. I'm going to start flushing in a couple days I think. They both look about ready for it. Plus, they are about as big as they are going to get. I think the flush will bring out the colors. So next watering will be the beginning of the flush cycle. It should be in a couple days. Also, both ladies have slowed down on their water intake. So the reservoirs should be empty in 2 to 3 days. Probably 2 days. Then I can clean them out and get to it. The lights are going to be turned down when flushing begins. I'm going to aim for a DLI of 36 mol/m²/d for the rest of the grow. It shouldn't be anymore than a week of flushing before they are done. The environment is still messed up. It got down to 49% yesterday for a couple hours, but then this morning it was right back up to 54%. The temp is fine at 76° Still not cold enough at night, but I have time. A few days to work it out. I'd like to be down to 65° by then for the last week of their lives. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.1° RH: 53.7% VPD: 1.27 kPa Update: I decided to check the trichomes anyway. Banana Purple Punch A has quite a few cloudy trichomes. Very few amber and a bit too many clear. I'd say she has about 5 days left. Banana Purple Punch B also has quite a few cloudy trichomes. However, she has about 15% to 20% clear trichomes. Amber trichomes are basically nonexistent. There's a few here and there, but mostly on the sugar leaves and not on the buds themselves. I'd say she has another 7 days left. Honestly I don't want to harvest them separately. I'd rather harvest them at the same time, so I might harvest them in 6 days. Right in between. Maybe 7 days if Banana Purple Punch A isn't quite there yet. To be honest, I have no real idea with this strain. They seem to be getting there, but there's no purple, still a lot of clear trichomes and it's been 12 weeks. So it could be another 2 weeks for all I know. I'd like to push them as far as they need, but I have 4 other plants that need to come in the tent ASAP. So I may have to chop a bit earlier than I really want to. I'll post some trichome pics tomorrow and see what you all think. Comments are welcome. Lol May 12, 2024 Some pics today. I'll try to keep this one short. Banana Purple Punch A looks good. I checked the trichomes. Not done yet. I'm sticking by my 5 days estimate. So 4 days left. She doesn't seem to be drinking at all. She is, but it's a trickle. Definitely not like it was. I'll have to empty the reservoir out tomorrow and start the flushing cycle. Banana Purple Punch B also looks great. I also checked her trichomes. She is about the same as her sister plant. Not enough cloudy trichomes, but the amber ones are starting to show up. A good sign. She might be ready in 4 days. I'm still guessing 5 to 6 days. She also isn't drinking nearly as much as she was before. A great sign that she should be starting the flush. For trichome pics, I'll be posting some tomorrow. Nothing to post today. I'll be dropping the light power when I start flushing. Which should be tomorrow or the next day. As I've said before, the DLI will be around 36 mol/m²/d. The environment is a lost cause. I cannot for the life of me get the damned humidity to a reasonable level, so I'll continue to open the tent every couple of hours throughout the rest of the grow. Happily, it's only a few days to a week. The temp is a bit high today as well. 77°. I'm already working to drop it a bit without going over 60% humidity. I should be able to get it down to 74° without a problem. It's just the humidity that's killing me. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.9° RH: 55.6% VPD: 1.25 kPa May 13, 2024 Flushing day! I decided to rinse out the basins and begin the flush. I was going to wait another day, but I think it's time. They have about a week left I think. Honestly it should be done by now, but they aren't. Lol. No matter. They should be done in about a week. Maybe slightly less. So they have been given 4 ml of Flawless Finish. It should be the only dose I have to give. Maybe one more, but I doubt it. I still need to dry the containers out. That will take a day or two. So maybe a half gallon in a few days, just to get that last push in. Banana Purple Punch A looks great! Some more lean happening with the tops. Nothing bad or anything, just a slight lean. Perfect for heavy buds. I didn't bother checking her trichomes today. No point. You can tell she's not ready just by looking at her. Banana Purple Punch B may need even more time. I'm going to have to decided what to do. Wait for this one to be done then harvest both? Or harvest one at a time as they finish up? Decisions decisions. I'll figure it out in a week. Her branches are really jiggly now. No lean exactly, more like a sway. When she gets moved her top heavy branches sway a bit. Great sign for a heavy yield from a 17" plant. Or is it 19"? Either way, it's going to have a fantastic yield compared to her size. One advantage I am seeing with the longer finish is it will give me time to dry some Tropicana Cookies I am harvesting in a couple of days. I'll be wet trimming this time around and the dry time should only take about 5 to 7 days. Maybe 10, but I'd rather not try to stuff 4 plants in a 2x2 to dry. It's a recipe for disaster. 2 at a time stacked on top of each other. I'll be dropping the light intensity tomorrow or later this afternoon. Maybe even tonight during lights out so in the morning it will be ready for the new day of less light. As I've said before... Over and over... I'll be dropping the light power to 70% which should drop the DLI down to 36 mol/m²/d. Oh, btw, I use the Photone for my light measurements. It has a PAR meter, Lux, DLI and I Believe color spectrum? Kelvin? No clue what that does. I focus on DLI. It's a better reading than just PPFD. The environment is still messy... as always... I'm keeping the temp down to 74°. The humidity at 58%. So it's still too high, but I've done all I can to drop it down and it won't even go below 50% with the tent door wide open. It just won't. So unless I can get the humidity in my room down to like 30%, the humidity in the tent remains over 50%. Hopefully pulling the plants out daily is enough to prevent mold and other issues. There's also the two circular fans. They aren't at full power, but they don't need to be as there's two. Plenty of airflow. I'll really need to keep an eye on these plants. Maybe I'll take them out multiple times a day. Like 2 or 3. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.5° RH: 56.2% VPD: 1.25 kPa Update: I ordered a new dehumidifier for grow tents today. It should be here tomorrow. I'm guessing a lot of my problem with the humidity is my current dehumidifier. It barely pushes air. Cheap and well used. The new one is from Vivosun. A much more reputable company. May 14, 2024 Trichome day! Alright, so I took some video today. Not the best quality, but I hurt my back so I'm all shaky. The pics were a lost cause. Lol Banana Purple Punch A looks great! More leaning branches. This late in the grow, I don't care. They aren't leaning that bad and it's only showing how heavy these buds are. Trichomes are mostly cloudy with a bit left of clear and nowhere near enough amber. 5 to 6 more days I think. Banana Purple Punch B is so pretty. She has the faintest purple coming from the flowers, but not much. It is a sign that we may end up with a purple plant during flush. Trichomes are partly cloudy with 30% clear and next to no amber. She still has time to go. I'd say another 7 to 10 days. Now I'm overshooting it just incase. I don't think the plants noticed a difference in the light drop, or they did and it's not doing anything. However, I'm not sure what it should be doing. I'm guessing preserving trichomes? Makes sense. Anyway, it's staying at 36 mol/m²/d DLI. The environment is still an absolute mess. The humidity is at like 59% and as always, I can control the temp, but nothing changes the humidity. And it's like 55% humidity out today. Fail. Lol. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.3° RH: 59.0% VPD: 1.16 kPa May 15, 2024 Nothing to do today. They are still watered and whatnot. No changes in color yet either. I'm starting to think these both will be green phenomes. Or maybe they really aren't ready yet. It's just weird. What am I doing wrong to get all my plants to grow for so long? Oh well. This round is just different because of the other 4 plants that need this space. I really need them to finish up ASAP. No trichome check today. I can still t ell they aren't ready. The bottoms still have a majority of white pistils and the tops are just not there yet. I think they can get denser. They aren't quite rock hard yet, so I know they still have time. Banana Purple Punch A looks amazing. More leaning branches that are swaying in the breeze. No fade yet, but the leaves are starting to look ready for the fade. Maybe. Banana Purple Punch B is strong as ever. Definitely still packing on weight. Definitely not ready for harvest. Still another week I think. I'll check trichomes tomorrow on this one. I think I'll wait for her to be done then I can harvest both plants at once. The light seems to be just being a light now. I can't really see what it's doing, but I know the frost is there. Lol. So it must be doing something. The environment is killing me. Still over 60% and my room has climbed up to 60% as well. I have a heater running and the dehumidifier that I think is done working. My new one should be here today. And not a moment too soon. I should have replaced this one months ago. Unfortunately, I don't have much control over the heat anymore. The humidity is just over powering it and I can't get anything to change. I'm going to crank the heat and see if that helps. Like set it to 80° and see what happens. It's currently set to 74°. And 8 don't think that temp is high enough to combat the humidity. Crank it up! Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.9° RH: 63.0% VPD: .00 kPa May 16, 2024 Today is looking pretty good. I checked the trichomes on Banana Purple Punch B as she has the longest to go. I figure when she is done, Banana Purple Punch A will be as well. I've also watered them with plain water. PHed to 6.2. just a half gallon in the reservoirs. I'm not ready to let them dry out yet. Banana Purple Punch A looks great! Her branches are starting to lean a bit harder and her buds look amazing. No purple yet. Or at all. I'm not sure. But I'm certainly sure that the fade hasn't begun yet. I'm not bothering with trichomes for now. I'll just wait to see what her sister does. I'll check trichomes in a couple of days. Banana Purple Punch B looks amazing. Her buds are fat and dense. She smells great and stays strong. A bit more swaying. But it's the whole plant now. Wonderful! I checked the trichomes on this one. She is developing quite nicely. I'd say another 5 to 7 days? Maybe a little less if we're lucky. There's more cloudy trichomes than before and finally some amber. Much less clear as well. She definitely is nowhere near fading, so that's a concern for time. The light stays the same. It seems to be perfect for these two. So no changes. The environment is still a nightmare, but it's 86% humid outside and 63% in my room. Happily, not really, the humidity is down to 60%. Not good at all, but better than 63% or even 65%. I'm really hoping these ladies are super resilient. They should be. It's FastBuds and they have great genetics. The temp is fine. I haven't a bit higher to help some with the DLI. So it's hanging out around 76° to 77° for now. The new dehumidifier works way better than the other one. But a cool thing is that they are both small, so I fit them both in and it seems to be kinda working. It's keeping the humidity below what it is in my room, but not low enough. I know it will drop when I figure out how to drop it in my room. I really need a big dehumidifier for my room. That would solve quite a bit. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.8° RH: 62.8% VPD: 1.07 kPa
