Week 3-Day 21 of flower. These ladies have been on autopilot. The environment is controlled, we have been having some temp and RH swings, but the equipment is dialed in. I have a portable AC when it is humid and hot, only needs to run for 15 minutes from time to time to keep the lung room/tent at the perfect temps. I can’t say enough how important it is to test, test and dial in your environment. I can already see big advancements in my photo periods from when I started, to today just a 1 1/2 years later. Having your environment as close to perfect as you can, can compensate for A LOT of rookie Mistakes 🤓 Anyways, still keeping to Feed, Feed, water schedule, despite the tip burn, I’ve dialed it back to about 900 ppm and seeing how the plant reacts. Did a light defoliation, which will probably be the last one. Seems like all I am doing at this point is watching and watering. Happy Growing Folks 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

19.1.25: I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g. I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes. It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements. I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients. Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;- ♡ 2ml Cal-Mag ♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max ♡ 1g of Ecothrive Biosys I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements. I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. 🙄 I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation. The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double. I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest. I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too. I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle. 24.1.25: I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix. This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments: ♡ 60% Canna coco ♡ 20% Worm castings ♡ 15 % Perlite The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;- ♡ 10g Ecothrive Biosys ♡ 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano ♡ 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth ♡ 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon ♡ 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster. ♡ 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle. •Worm castings for some all round nutrition. •Cinnamon for mildew and bug repellent. •Canna coco base substrate. •Perlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system. •Green Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds. •Vitalink bat guano again for Bloom. •RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes. •Ecothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits. •Diatomaceous earth for Silica. •Ecothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial boost. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

6 out of 8 plants in pre-flowering, i replaced my humidifier with the dehumidifier, very present smell when I open the tent, a little early like my last crop. ⚠️ Day 26: Green gelato is hermaphrodite, destruction of the Green gelato, burial of a northern light.

On day 1 I transplanted 2 BB clones into 3 gal smart pots with coco coir. I watered them in with veg formula and set up my blumat watering system with week 1 flower nutes. I raised PPFD to 600-700. On day 2 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.4 to 6.0. The rez is 823 ppm. The tops are 16.5" from the grow light. The blumats have not started watering yet and I will monitor to ensure it goes smoothly. I have the blumats set at 1.25 carrots on left plant and 1 carrot on right plant. The average PPFD of my 16 tops is 703 PPFD. I increased temps to 85 day 81 night to get leaf surface around 80 f during day. On day 3 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. The rez is 782 ppm. The blumats have started watering and I will monitor closely over the next few days. On day 4 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.3 to 6.1. The rez is 717ppm. On day 5 the reservoirs PH is steady at 6.1. The rez is 706 ppm. The highest top is 15.25" from the light. I defoliated to bring in more air and light to deeper into the canopy. I increased the flow rate of blumat by .5 carrot on the right plant as it was a little to dry for my liking. The Clones are preforming well. On day 6 the reservoir PH is going down so I adjusted up from 6.0 to 6.2. The rez is 730 ppm. The highest cola is 14.75" from the light. The left plant had a runaway so I reduced blumat by 1 carrot. I increased flow of blumat on right plant by .5 carrot as it is still drier than I would like. On day 7 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.3 to 6.0. The highest cola is 14.25". I reset rez with nutes.

This week went very well, she is still stacking on flowers, and Piglet is now being fed about 5 gallons per day, with about 1 gallon of runoff, she feeds five times per day, every 3.5 hours with lights on, and then once in the middle of the dark period. She is still just being fed Armor Si, CaliMag, powder Maxi Bloom, and a PK liquid bloom booster. I use the runoff mixed with dehumidifier water to feed my tomatoe plants, and they absolutely love it. I have found that using dehumidifier water in a reservoir leads to funk within only a few days, even when using food grade Hydrogen Peroxide, so I only use it for instant feedings and for the tomatoes. I am still cleaning the reservoir once per week just to keep her and the pump/lines in good shape, and it only takes me about 10-15 minutes per week. I also added another bag of CO2 inside the tent and have a bag sitting in front of each air intake screen, as well as one hanging about the plant., I have also added several tubs of mushrooms growing both inside and outside the tent, with a breather on each one, so she is getting plenty of CO2. The heatwave is over for now and weather looks great for the next 8 days. I am estimating that she has about 2 weeks left to stack flowers, and then 2 weeks to ripen, so I am hoping to harvest her around the end of June but will have to wait on the trichomes to be sure. I plan to flush her for about 4 or 5 days before harvest with just plain water. Overall, I am very impressed with Ethos Genetics, and I now understand why everyone was recommending them to me when I wanted to try a photo period plant. I hope everyone had a weekend, stay safe, and Blaze On!!!

Week 8 has gone well and she is chugging along. She is still putting out new pistils with some turning orange. Calyx's are growing longer and buds are still soft. I'm thinking a min of 10 weeks flowering for her. I removed some leaves on inner canopy to bring some air and light deeper. She is so bushy its hard to even defoliate maybe next time i will remove some more lateral branches... afterremoving the leaves I must have come incontact with a pollen sack as where I defoliated all seemed to be polinated over night and are making seeds :( I will cut my losses and harvest while seeds are still small.

Day 62: time to flush! Flushed her with canna flush once so now for 5-7 days I will just give her plain water with ph- She looks so nice! But way to much nitrogen in her This is the light that I’m using for this grow! Mars hydro SP3000 High PPFD at 2.8 umol/j, average yield at 2.5g/w, increasing your yield 50% or more compared with old blurple and HPS lights, 300 watts output. Dimmer knob added, more convenient to adjust the brightness. Up to 30 lights can be daisy-chained and control together on just one light, or just have one lamp in 120x60 tent is perfect for light. https://www.instagram.com/marshydro_aliexpress2/

“Everything is going great, but my big problem now is that all three plants are in different stages—one of them feels like it’s three weeks ahead of the others. But apart from that, everything is perfect and I’m very satisfied so far. I think for my next grow, I’ll switch to photoperiod plants, since I can control them a bit more than autoflowers. But for my second grow ever, I’m already really happy with how it’s going.”

|»» LOG DISCLAIMER: Not intended as a grow guide. Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 16 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17547.8, Wow what a great week in the garden! By the end of the week, the main tent has pretty much doubled in size! Upgraded the scrog frame and now have a second layer of netting about 14in above the original netting which is already filling in and looking incredible! The tent’s floor slightly flooded, but fixed it. Also trying Stash Blend for the first time! As for the veg tent. To preserve the genetics, started the mother plant cycling process and took more clone cuttings (which were rooting in Coco Coins by the end of the week). To make more room, also bonsaied all mother plants. The stretch is starting to slowing down and next week begins the first week of bloom! Ca-Caw! Let’s go! Onwards Ensign! [START OF WEEK 16] ========================================================== ---------- [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] ---------- Heady OG BX1 #1 [Round4 ~Wk9] - WEEK 16 - Pre-Bloom [Stretch Wk2] TKO [Round2 ~Wk14] - WEEK 16 - Pre-Bloom [Stretch Wk2] ----------- [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ------------ Garlic Budder OG#1 - WEEK 09 - Full Veg Garlic Budder OG#2 - WEEK 09 - Full Veg Gorilla Goat #1 - WEEK 09 - Full Veg Gorilla Goat #2 - WEEK 09 - Full Veg 08/04/25 → 08/10/25 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: ~0.69 kPa Soil %: [40.7, 47.0, 38.1, 56.6, 41.9, 42.7, 42.9, 43.9] ========================================================== Day 01 - Monday - 08/04/25 - Total Days: 113 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.6°F [28.7°C] - Humidity: 83.6% - VPD: 0.66 kPa - Soil %: [49, 37, 45, 60, 44, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [+00:14]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Holy Cannoli! Wow! These girls are in full stretch! --- Both cultivars have grown beyond the netting and have stretched beyond the (green) Vivosun’s CFM bars! Heady is a bit low on the left, but the canopy is pretty even and perky! --- Ca-Caw! Let’s go cuddies! --- Heady OG (BX1 #1) is starting off shorter than TKO, but am pretty confident that she’ll catch up. --- TKO is looking incredibly healthy! She’s the larger plant, but also in the smaller 20-gallon pot. Well she is 5 weeks older than Heady OG so makes sense. Regardless of the growth difference, absolutely stoked for this grow cycle!! - [+12:19]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 46% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 37% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 48% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 62% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 41% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 44% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 40% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 50% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [+00:14]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! The veg garden is looking incredible! --- All mamma plants are looking bushed out and beautiful! - [+00:37]: Super-cropped and bend the canopy down a bit. --- Lowered the canopy down a few inches. Really need to defoliate soon. The top growth is bushing out and getting really thick! --- Clones are also looking incredible and both are rotting along beautifully! Heady is going to make it and she is looking great! - [+00:38]: The cuttings are looking good for the most part. One is looking pretty droopy (damnit Ensign). --- Misted the cups with RO water. --- Think the RH may not be consistent enough and the cups might be drying out too quickly. - [+00:41]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Another day done! --- Okay! Since growth is raging upwards, decided to upgrade the scrog frame and plan to add a second layer tomorrow. --- Ahh yea! This grow is turning out to be an epic one! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/05/25 - Total Days: 114 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.3°F [28.5°C] - Humidity: 83.3% - VPD: 0.67 kPa - Soil %: [49, 38, 47, 62, 41, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [16:25]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! The clones are looking incredible! --- The cuttings still seem to be struggling. --- Hmm. - [16:27]: Misted the cups with RO water. --- Made a slight modification and wrapped the top of both cups with plastic wrap. --- Cut a slit from the middle to the edge. Misted the cup through the slit with RO water (2-3 sprays each). --- Then gently slipped the cups over each cutting. --- Also slightly misted each Coco Coin with RO water. --- Great! This should hopefully make a better seal and will keep the RH higher. I think. --- Anyways! --- The mother garden is vegging along beautifully! --- Growth is getting really bushy and need to do a heavy defoliation soon. - [16:56]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 48% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 47% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 61% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 41% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 43% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 41% - [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] - [19:03]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ooo yea! Wow these girls are stretching! --- Growth has clearly grown since the last checkup and getting taller! --- Ca-Caw! Let’s go ladies! - [19:14]: Wait. Uh-Oh! --- The tent seemed to have flooded slightly.. DAMNIT ENSIGN! ------ [» A FEW HOURS LATER.. «] --- Okay! Think I figured out why the tent flooded and how to fix it. --- The main reason was the new soil sensor which was probably not in proper contact with the soil. --- Fixed this by re-seating the unit. Also adjusted the drip ring a bit. --- Also poured about a cup of water straight onto new sensor. This should make the surrounding soil wetter and will hopefully fix the dry pocket. I think. --- For added redundancy, added additional trigger conditions to both Ecowitt WittFlows (TKO and Heady OG). - [23:45]: Adjusted the watering triggers for the auto-watering system for TKO. --- Changed the ON trigger from: --------- When CH3 soil moisture is under 45% ------------ Updated to: --------------- When CH3 soil moisture is UNDER 45% --------------- AND When CH4 soil moisture is UNDER 50% --- Changed the OFF trigger from: --------- When CH3 soil moisture is OVER 50% ------------ Updated to: --------------- When CH3 soil moisture is OVER 50% --------------- OR When CH3 soil moisture is OVER 50% --- Applied similar watering triggers for Heady OG. --- Changed the ON trigger from: --------- When CH1 soil moisture is under 45% ------------ Updated to: --------------- When CH1 soil moisture is UNDER 45% --------------- AND When CH2 soil moisture is UNDER 50% --- Changed the OFF trigger from: --------- When CH1 soil moisture is OVER 50% ------------ Updated to: --------------- When CH1 soil moisture is OVER 50% --------------- OR When CH2 soil moisture is OVER 50% --- Will check back daily to make sure the flooding has completely stopped. --- Well that pushed everything back a bit. --- Okay! Anyways, - [23:57]: Time to both build and install the second frame and netting. Let’s go! --- Got four 1in PVC corner fittings (local Lowes) along with four 1in PVC pipes (10ft long each). Also got more self-tapping screws. --- For the netting, using mason string. Usually use the braided nylon, but the twisted variant is a lot cheaper. --- To build the frame, I cut the 1in PVC pipes down to two different lengths: ------ [» x2 @ 42.5in «] – Front / Back ------ [» x2 @ 44in «] – Left / Right --- This makes the frame slightly thinner from left to right. --- Saving the extra piping for future projects. - [+04:04]: Okay! The new frame is built and looking sturdy! --- Did not use any glue and simply dry fitted each component. --- For easier fitting, smoothed the ends of each pipe with sand paper. --- Also marked each pipe to indicate the front, back, left, and right sides. --- For the fittings, used corner fittings and have open slot facing downwards. This way I can add the legs. --- After the frame was built, marked and drilled screws about 3in apart (self-tapping). Made sure to mirror the screw spacing on the opposite side. --- Time to weave the netting! - [+04:06]: Using some mason string, --- Started at one corner and strung all the horizontal lines. --- Double-wrapped each screw. --- After the horizontal lines were strung, continued and wrapped the vertical lines. - [+04:44]: Now that the frame is built and the netting fully weaved, time to install the frame! --- First the support poles. Cut and sanded more 1in PVC piping. ------ [» x4 @ 14in «] – Vertical Support - [17:56]: Installed the back support poles before the front ones. --- Temporarily removed the front CFM bar and had to raise the fan up a bit (was not easy, but got it done). --- Once the support poles were installed, gently set the new frame on top. - [+06:07]: Done and wow she’s a beauty! --- Well that took a bit longer than anticipated (also the flooding did not help), but glad the frame fit perfectly and the netting looks great! - [+06:12]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Ooo yea! What a day! Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/06/25 - Total Days: 115 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.9°F [28.8°C] - Humidity: 83.1% - VPD: 0.69 kPa - Soil %: [42, 54, 43, 60, 42, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [+00:17]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw!! Let’s go cuddies! Growth is looking beautiful and green! --- The second layer of scrog netting was not the easiest to install, but wow the garden is looking incredible! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are still stretching upwards with new nodes branching out everywhere! --- The canopy hasn’t reached the top net yet but hoping a few will make it. --- Regardless, absolutely hyped for this flower cycle! - [+00:23]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Looking beautiful in the veg garden! --- Wow the mothers have bushed out and have reached the grow light! - [+00:32]: Super-cropped and lowered the canopy --- The canopy is getting really thick! Plan to do a pretty heavy defoliation tomorrow. --- Clones look great and stoked that both Heady OG and TKO seem to be rooting along in the cups. Need to check the weights. Let’s go! - [+00:37]: Here are the starting initial watering ranges: ------ Heady OG BX1 » 261.4g → 301.2g ------ TKO » 240.9g → 301.4g --------- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet] --- All cups were last watered 5 days ago. - [+00:37]: Took the starting weight of both clones before watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 weighed 250.4g ------ TKO weighed 240.9g --- Oops! Probably should have watered earlier, sorry ladies! --- Stoked that Heady OG is clearly going to make it! Also good to know the soil dryback can be at least 10g from the initial pre-saturated weight. --- Anyways! --- 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. --- Made sure to reference the watering weights. --- Repeated this process for both cups. --- There was no runoff. - [+01:08]: Took the saturated weight of both clones after watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 » 335.5g ------ TKO » 345.1g --- Marked the final wet weight on the back of each cup. Also marked the watering date on the front. --- Placed both phenos back into the tent. --- Cuttings are looking better! --- Glad that the slight modification to the cups helped to keep the moisture in (covered both with plastic wrap). --- Gently removed both cups and re-misted each with RO water (~2 mists). --- Carefully placed the cups back onto the cuttings. - [+01:21]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 34% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 52% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 39% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 58% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 44% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 47% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 41% - [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] - [+01:23]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 04 - Thursday - 08/07/25 - Total Days: 116 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 84.9°F [29.4°C] - Humidity: 82.0% - VPD: 0.75 kPa - Soil %: [32, 51, 37, 57, 42, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [09:42]: Quickly checked on the propagation dome (in the 3x3 veg tent). --- Nice! Clones are both looking great! --- Heady OG is clearly recovering and looking better! --- Wow! TKO is looking incredibly healthy! Top growth has perky leaves with a few nodal growth sites starting to stretch. As far as cloning, she has been healthiest with no issues the entire way! --- Both Heady OG cuttings are looking beautiful and should be rooting. Plan to check for roots in a few days. --- Plan to do a pretty heave defoliation today. --- Also going to start the mother plant cloning process. - [17:12]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mother garden is looking beautiful and the canopy is bushy with growth! --- Both Heady OG and TKO clones also look green and healthy! --- My main focus for today is the veg garden and the preservation of the genetics . --- Lots of work to do and time to also start the mother cycling process! --- This time, going to do a pretty heavy defoliation! --- Going to pretty much bonsai each mother while taking a few clones to preserve the genetics. --- Let’s go Ensign! - [17:58]: 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 clear solo cup. --- Repeated this process until 4 cups were filled. - [18:05]: Also marked each cup with the corresponding mother plant name. --- Time to defoliate and take the clone cuttings! - [18:07]: Using a pair of trimmers (AC Infinity), --- Bonsaied each mother plant. Removed over 75% of overall growth leaving several branches and nodes. - [19:44]: Done and wow what a difference! --- Pretty much removed all growth leaving a few nodal growth sites to heal. --- This is my first time going this heavy and am hoping that they recover. --- If this bonsai defoliation heals up with healthy growth, this can also be an alternative to a full plant cycling. --- Anyways! - [19:46]: To preserve the genetics, made sure to cut clone cuttings from each mother plant. --- To ensure successful rooting, took several cuttings. --- Made sure to clean each cutting by trimming most of the branches off leaving the top one or two nodes. --- Did not cut any leaf fingers and made sure to cut the tip of the stalk (about 45°) before placing into the cup of aloe solution. - [19:55]: Placed the fresh cuttings into the 3x3 veg tent. --- Have each cup resting on top of the corresponding mother plant. --- Okay! Let the two-day soak begin! - [20:00]: Mulched the trimmings in a paper bag. --- Since the bottom of the paper bags tend to decompose, have the bag in a used BuildASoil soil bag which should not decompose (these are meant for soil). --- Also added a bit of Kashi Blend and worm castings to the bottom of the bag. --- Back to the Heady OG cuttings! --- Gently removed the cups and misted the inside of each with RO water (~2 mists each). - [20:02]: Carefully placed the new cups onto the cuttings. --- Great! Plan to check for roots soon. - [20:08]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 31% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 51% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 35% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 56% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 41% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 42% - [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] - [20:12]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! Ah yea! The garden is looking incredible and wow growth is raging! --- The tallest growth is just barely under the netting! --- Not much to do in the main tent now but to wait until the stretch slows down. --- Time to relax and let the grass grow! Let’s go! - [21:34]: Have an extra stainless steel rack and thought of a better way to hold the solo cups in the veg tent. --- The cups are balancing on the edge of the pots am concerned that they may tip over. --- Carefully too each cup out of the tent. - [21:36]: Placed the rack upside-down in the middle of the tent. --- Have the rack positioned on top of all 4 pots just above the center floor fan. - [21:39]: Gently placed each cutting cup onto the rack. --- The floor fan can easily still blow through the grid of the rack. Great! --- This should be way more stable while still allowing decent airflow. - [21:40]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 05 - Friday - 08/08/25 - Total Days: 117 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 84.5°F [29.2°C] - Humidity: 82.5% - VPD: 0.72 kPa - Soil %: [32, 50, 30, 53, 40, 42, 41, 42] ----------------------------------- - [23:02]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ahh yea! The garden is thriving! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are still stretching upwards and the canopy is getting dense! --- Wow! TKO has reached the top netting! Heady OG is just under the top netting. --- Ca-Caw! Let’s go ladies! - [23:11]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- The veg garden is looking great! --- The bonsaied mother plants are still recovering from the heavy defoliation. But growth is looking a lot better than I would expect from such a large biomass reduction. Nice! --- Cuttings are looking great as well! - [23:13]: Time to swap the aloe water out! --- Replaced each solo cup with a clean one filled with fresh RO water (1.5cups). --- Plan to start using the propagation dome soon! --- Going to let these soak for another day before transplanting into Coco Coins for rooting. - [+02:05]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. - [+02:08]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Great! --- Cuttings also look healthy and ready for transplanting! --- Both Heady OG and TKO clones are looking perky and getting bigger! --- Heady OG cuttings also looking green and rooting! I think. Will check for roots in a few days. - [20:58]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! This is why we grow! Wow! --- Also hyped that the canopy is getting dense with nodal growth! --- TKO has more tops stretching through the top scrog netting! Heady OG has not reached the net yet. --- Stoked the 14in space in between the netting is filling quite nicely and just going to let everything grow! - [21:01]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 29% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 50% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 34% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 53% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 40% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 40% - [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] - [21:05]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Growth is still recovering quite nicely! This may be my solution to maintain mother plants longer between cycles. --- Mother clone cuttings are also looking healthy and ready to be rooted! --- Was originally planning on rooting all of the cuttings, but since the mother plants are recovering better than anticipated, just going to plant one of each pheno. --- Let’s go! - [21:23]: 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. - [21:26]: Dropped 4 Coco Coins into the measuring cup. --- The coins immediately started to expand. ------ [» ~10 MINUTES LATER «] --- Placed each fully saturated Coco Coin into half-cut solo cups. - [21:41]: Using a squeeze bottle filled with Clonex, --- Gently filled each pre-made hole with Clonex rooting gel. - [21:43]: Time to plant the cuttings! --- 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 top of the Coco Coin. --- Once each cutting was planted, - [22:11]: Placed each pheno into the propagation dome’s tray. --- Made sure to keep each clone properly tagged. --- Added 1/4 cup of RO water to the bottom of the tray. --- Placed the side extensions onto the tray. - [22:15]: Misted the top of the propagation dome before covering the cuttings. --- Vents are fully closed. --- Also lowered the intensity from 5 to 1. --- At the current light intensity (LV1), the PPFD is around 110 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 7.13 mol/m²/d under an 18/6 light cycle --- Will check back daily to cycle the air under the dome. - [22:17]: Placed the extra mother cuttings back on the rack. Will try to keep these cuttings alive until the planted ones root. --- Will need to change the water every day or two. --- Also need to water the Heady OG and TKO clones. --- Ca-Caw! Let’s go! - [11:33]: Here are the starting initial watering ranges: ------ Heady OG BX1 » 261.4g → 301.2g ------ TKO » 240.9g → 301.4g --------- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet] --- All cups were last watered 3 days ago. --- Took the starting weight of both clones before watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 weighed 257.0g ------ TKO weighed 259.7g --- 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. --- Made sure to reference the watering weights. --- Repeated this process for both cups. --- There was no runoff. --- Also defoliated and removed the lowest growth on both clones. - [23:03]: Took the saturated weight of both clones after watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 » 345.3g ------ TKO » 355.4g --- Marked the final wet weight on the back of each cup. Also marked the watering date on the front. --- Placed both phenos back into the tent. Have them now resting on the rack (on drip trays). - [23:14]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Looking great in the veg garden! --- All mothers are still green and recovering. New growth is starting to develop and growth is looking healthy! --- Quickly checked on the propagation dome. --- All clone cuttings are looking green and healthy! - [19:04]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! Ah yea! Heady OG has reached the top scrog net! --- TKO has several tops above the netting and she is raging with healthy! --- Canopy is also showing more signs of pistil crowning and vertical growth seems to be slowing down. I think. - [19:07]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 48% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 49% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 55% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 41% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 43% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 43% - [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] - [19:10]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- The veg garden is recovering beautifully! --- Since the stretch seems to be slowing down in the main tent, going to give these ladies a little extra. - [19:17]: Going to feed some Stash Blend for the first time. --- This blend of beneficial microbes and mycorrhizal fungi also includes a bit of silica which should help during the bloom phase. --- Also shout out to Mr. Grow It, Rob (from CLTV), and Pigeons420! Stay lifted! - [19:19]: Filled a pitcher with 16 cups (1gal) of RO water. ------ Added 1/8tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] ------ Added 1tsp of Stash Blend --- Mixed the solution before pouring 6 cups straight into a pump sprayer. --- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto Heady OG’s straw mulch. - [19:52]: Repeated this process again for TKO. --- Depending on how growth develops, may start feeding these ladies weekly. --- From personal experience, the veg phase can easily be grown with straight RO water. --- Flower is probably the most important time to feed because there are more roots and the plants are trying to produce more biomass. I think. --- Anyways! - [20:10]: In the veg tent, repeated the watering process for all mothers (1 cup + 1 cup RO each). --- Focused mainly on the straw (2 cups each). - [20:13]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Wow what a grow week! --- The difference in growth from Monday until now has been incredible!

Day 99: Today marks the start of the last week for this journal! I keep watering them with RO water (0ppm) every 3 days. The runoff is gradually diminishing as the plants are utilizing the remaining nutrients present in the growing medium. The experience has been amazing so far, and I've definitely learned a lot. I'll probably be chopping these plants in one week... Damn guys, so excited to taste these beautiful buds! Tried to bring something different this time uploading a video instead of photos. But pictures are coming soon as well to best ilustrate whats going on. Cheers! Day 101: Took some new pictures today. Girls are looking good and smelling amazing. Cant wait to taste them. Day 103: We're getting real close to the finish line. Slapped a mini microscope onto my phone and took some pics of the trichomes. The bottom buds are mostly cloudy, and the top ones have a bit of amber action. Thinking maybe I'll give it another week before I pull the trigger on harvesting.

Läuft alles wie es soll. Dünger frisst zwar viel Geld aber es wird sich für die Ernte lohnen.
