Great growth from all the girls this week. Stretched massively. I have done a major defoliation to let more light to bud sights. 95% flowers are in light now. I will do another Small defoliation next week. Dry amended top soil with bat guano, worm castings and bio life. Should be enough to bring them into mid flower. I had a slight fungus knat issue but got some nematodes and they are starting to clear along with sticky traps. I have also taken cuttings from a few of the girls to cross a few of the stronger strains and create my own strain. First time I will be doing this so excited to see how it turns out.

I did a top dressing, everything seems to be going pretty well they are looking Frosty. Im debating on increasing the PhotonTek 600w pro to 75% what do yall think its in a 4x4 tent. I don't have a PPFD METER nor can I find PPFD charts for this light in a 4x4 space so I'm just winging it atm.

Did some defoliation this week, not much but enough to create some airflow and unblock a few bud sites. Readjusted my DIY “floating” to take up some of the stretch that had gotten out of control, ❤️ that I can do that! The frost is real for this strain OMG, week 3 and it’s already as frosty as some of the Autoflower’s I have grown. Temps have been climbing here and there, we’re getting a lot of dry heat so that’s the plus at least, not a lot of humidity at the moment. I’m really wishing I had taken clones from these girls because I’m sure they are going to be insane if they look this good at week 3. 🇨🇦👊❤️

Increased the amount of nutrients, water and food. Manual 12/12 light cycle at 100% most the time. Fan on 24/7. Continued to trim smaller branches and budsites bending a few branches to fill out the canopy better.

Mar 15: Looking good, keeping rh down has proven difficult with 3 in a 2x3x4ft box, blasting intake and exhaust with 2 fans inside. Otherwise good, did a 1/4 feed to use up stores and salts. Mar 16: Looking good, dialed back in RH, Temp lowered a couple degrees, no oscillating fan so I adjust the position every day. Want to start using MonsterBloom for some fat buds but don't wanna start too early. Also need info if incorporating run-off feeds is necessary if i do occasional 1/4 dose feeds. Slowly dialing back grow nutrients, and upping bloom. New light has made 100X difference. Mar 18th: Will be increasing of volume per feed over the next week to 1 - 1.2L per plant, or until I get 10% run-off. keeping concentration of feed around 800ppm, No signs of deficiencies or toxicities yet, though colour of leaves may be a tad dark, no signs of slowed growth. Increased PPFD to 750 - 940 at the top of the canopy. Mar 21: Going to start counting days not weeks, its been 36 days since they popped, so just over 5 weeks now, I was a bit ahead. Explosive growth, still playing the "increase volume of feed until I get 10-15% runoff" game, at 1L now, will up to 1.25L for todays feed. decreasing FloraGro by .5ml/gal every feed till I get to 1 - 1.5mL/gal. increasing FloraBloom by .5mL/gal every feed till I get to 7 - 7.5mL/gal, or until I see P or K toxicity, whatever comes first. That being said if I get runoff today and its 300 ppm over input, i will flush with a mild feed until I get proper output/input ppm ratio. PLEASE, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, IF YOU SEE ME DOING SOMETHING WRONG, OR IF THERE IS A BETTER WAY, COMMENT OR DM ME 😭😂💪

@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle will turn out. Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle (Grape Crinkle x Sour Crack) Two of our fastest and frostiest varieties collide to make a sweet and sour delight! Expect super frosty, compact nugs that won't be a toke for novices. Destined to be a great strain for extraction work too! Plant size - Small - Medium Cycle time - 60-65 days from sprout Indica/Sativa - 80/20 Frost level - Extra Ridiculous https://www.mephistogenetics.com/product-page/illuminauto-21-sour-crinkle -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-18. Start of week 4. I have defoliated her and she got water and nutes. She is 20 cm high and have not start to stretch yet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-20. Kl 23.00. Did some massive defoliation, added video and pics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-09-22. The girl has recovered well after my massive defoliation. She is now 24 cm high. Gave her water and nutrition today.

Die Woche ist sehr gut verlaufen nun ist der elfte Tag Blüte Sie scheint sich von den Larfen beziehungsweise Trauer fliegen Erholt zu haben die Blätter stehen wieder schön und sie ist sehr stabil leider ist mir ein Kopf abgebrochen ja ärgerlich aber was soll ich tun der Geruch kommt auch langsam durch es riecht ziemlich gut die Härchen sind schon zu sehen. Da ich Bio Grow Habe ich in der ersten Woche 8 g Blumen dazu gegeben und die reichen bis zur dritten Woche oder sogar bis zum Ende der Blüte in Enhancer habe ich diese Woche nicht benutzt

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 56 Took some glamor pics with black background - not really for vanity (although there's a little) but for contrast. I see more of the lockout issue better in the pics this way. - on that note, the ph seems to be working as it's been two days since defoliation and knitting needle ph correction, and the progression is way slower than it was on the last leaves at 3rd day of identifying. So with that, room VPD of 1.07kpa seems stable enough with temps about 76F/65%RH/33%ILV I released the binds today to let her grow without them until they crowd each other too much and I need to restrain - so in a couple of days at max. Day 62 Transfer day. Although at first I didnt think I would be able to until Saturday, I got pots and plant saucers today, so I ended up going ahead and doing it. Started by calibrating/testing both meters. Double checked the soil mix from yesterday as the last time I used wood ash the ph rose the day after... however this time it was fully mixed to I wanted to know if there would be a higher ph - it was the same as yesterady - 5 reading avg of about 6.35 - the slurry of 1:1 soil and 7.7 ph water was tested at 6.3 also. Made about .75 gallon of 75/25 veg/bloom juice water at 500ppm feed water. Tried to ph read the soil in the pot and seen it go from 6.6 down to 6.35 (took video) in the dry soil, so I decided to use the 6.35 new soil reading and ph balanced the feed to that. Used the needles since it was 7 days since the last feed and I am using such a small amount. Poured over needles in 8 places and pulled each out to let water down. the vacuum pulls the water down when I lift the needles. Then I mixed 5tsp of Dynomyco to the 5 gallons of new soil and mixed really good. I placed a layer of perlite on the bottom of the 10 gallon pot and then layered in some soil. Then with the help of my wife we pulled the plant out of the pot and placed it in the 10 gallon. I place back in the tent and added about a quart of plain de-chlorinated water evenly over the new and older soil to help bind them. I reduced lights by 100ppfd to have about 505 and 500 at center colas and 430 lowest on outer ring with most at 450 and 470 highest. Soil to light is 35 inches and the plant is about 14 inches so about 21 inches from leaves to lights. I left the ring off today and will rebind as needed tomorrow after she rests. Today the leaves look wilted and limp. Also reduced humidity to 60% so 58 to 65% should be the range and the temps are 73F with the lights lower. PPFD was higher with the new growth - unbound and tucked in for better cola/light position, it reads 570 to 580 on outer colas and 590 at both center branches Day 57 Getting 1 more day out of free range growth before I tie her back against a ring. So in that time I decided to take a few vanity pics. Overall the ph block seems to have slowed or stopped and she's back to growing again. Will be thinking about flip at the end of this week or so. VPD same stats 76F/65%RH/33%ILV - ppfd right at max so I'll likely tie her off tomorrow. 605 600 in center and 580 to 590 at the outer ring. Day 58 VPD stats mostly steady again today - 76F/65%RH/33%ILV - ppfd was checked after LST, measured 600 at each center cola and the outer ring measured between 550 and 590 most at 580 So as I said, I did LST today to bind her more out while the 4 center 4 colas fill the middle. I had to bind to the pot base instead of the ring as the colas are still a little short to reach for binds at the ring just yet. There's a lot of space to fill and a few (about half) of the out colas are sideways for now. Had a break at the center cola when I tried to pull it back for bind. I knew to hold the branch at the node but forgot to do it here and heard a "snap" ... taped the crack and moved on - will monitor obviously Day 59 Did more light LST to ensure the branches are growing where I want. PPFD was mostly the same as yesterday only now there are more colas around 560 than 580 on the outer ring with the center colas at 610 and 590 (front cola was tied down to spread more away from the ring and fill center better. vpd same as past week or so 76F/65%RH/33%ILV Last feed was on day 54 and the soil still seems damp so I will check again tomorrow for the next day. (Day 61) The broken branch doesnt seem to have affected either side of the split as both sides seem to have grown a little with little to no wilt or drooping leaves. Im hoping it heals okay and doesnt delay flip to recover more; still monitoring. Day 60 Did some light LST today by releasing the lower binds to the pot and attached as couple to the outer ring now. So far I only have to bind a few as most are already holding where i want them to. Took the tape off the split and seen I didnt seel the gap closed when I taped it so now Im considering a drop of super glue to bind the branch back in hopes it grows onto the other side again. If not at least it would be more secure than it is now. And since it's a main split for 4 colas, I dont want too restrict it by binding at the split and potentially cutting off the nutrient pathways. ppfd after LST was 610 and 600 after more LST and the outer ring is still ranging 550 to 580 with more at 560 now. VPD same as I havent messing with any of the variables. 76F/65%RH/33%ILV Soil is a bit dry and it's been 5 days since the last feed flush, so I have about 3 gallons of tap burning of chlorine now for a feed tomorrow morning. Might still update again later if I find superglue... found some superglue - tried to take pictures but I cant hold, squeeze the applicator, and film with just two hands. So the idea gets through, I did both sides. On a side note I discovered a root popping out of the soil from the top. Covered it up but wasn't sure if I should be concerned. Day 61 VPD same as it's been for most of the last week - 74F/65%RH/33%ILV PPFD was recorded after I turn the plant a quarter turn for the smaller colas struggling to get over he ring's edge to have more light. Most colas at 580 with a couple at 600 and a couple more at 550 - center colas are hitting 615 and 620, but I have plancs to reduce in the next couple of days now On that note, the root growing out of the top tells me that she's hungry and needs more root space, even if that means growing through the top of the soil. So I plan to transplant to a 10 gallon and flip after the recovery. After reviewing more of NugBucket's journal I realized this is why he moves them when growing 16 colas. New pots should be here Friday so I should be able do it on Saturday. So I prepped soil (using more Happy frog with mycorrhizal fungi already growing in it for a few weeks) with de-chlorinated tap water Started by ph testing the soil and the water (4 readings on soil at 5.03 avg) - added about 1/2 cup total of wood ash to bring up the ph , mixed and tested again - added water at (about 7.7 ph) and tested again... last 5 readings in soil was 6.24,6.3,6.35,6.37,6.38 avg of 6.328 - covered and let rest until needed. Since I plan to transplant in a few days I felt it would be best to 'lightly' feed tomorrow, again on transplant day, and again 2 to 3 days later. Since my wife was taking pics at this time, I could only find this one to show the roots growing into the perlite then we planted it in the bigger pot. -------- (Day 62 root base picture from above) I have a hypothesis that says these are so short because I intentionally tried not to move the plant without the base stand to keep it from grinding these up and allowed them to grow in the last 2 weeks. This is that test picture/results. I like the idea of better/more drainage, but thinking I am doing more harm each time I hear those gravel pieces crunch as it cuts those and forces the plant to look somewhere else for root space. Notice how the small root lines have no finer pieces or laterals grow out from these - I believe that is because they are so new in growth and that the perlite chewed up the smaller laterals even with little to no movement over the last two weeks I would like to see a root ball experiment that exposed the roots throughout the grow but for now I can see these roots do grow into the base perlite and need to be handled carefully if you want them to grow more freely or with a standard pot size. As you can see Im not root bound but my plant thinks it is and is growing roots out the top.

Quite a sad run to be honest, but it's all due to bad decisions on my side. I decided to top her and even though she seemed to take it well, it might have triggered something. She also was a stretcher with such a large inter-nodal space that I didn't find necessary to defoliate anything and I didn't remove any budsites. The result was a ton of small popcorn buds. And to not help, I waited way too long before giving her nutes, thinking I could do all the run without using any but even when I started giving her some, the schedule was close to being improvised. I would normally have given her more time to flower but a space problem in the tent caused me to chop her down prematurely, still with a majority of cloudy trichomes and some amber ones. I would definitely redo some stuff but she still outputted some very decent flowers, effect and taste wise because let's be real, they look terrible, almost like seaweed. I'd love to retry this strain.

|»» 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 17 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17553.9, Another incredible week in the garden! First week of flower and already my best grow cycle yet! Wow these girls can stretch! Did not expect the canopy to double in size! By the end of the week, had to super-crop the top growth. Buds are also starting to swell up and everything looks really healthy. Ca-Caw! Let’s go ladies! Decided to reset the veg garden. All mother plants were cycled out and pots were reset and re-amended. Transplanted the Heady OG and TKO clones which are looking healthy and vegging along beautifully! Also transplanted the spare Heady OG clones. Still need to transplant the original mother clones into solo cups. Still have lots to do! Onwards to next week Ensign!

Will do a proper root check tomorrow. - [+01:19]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 04 - Thursday - 08/14/25 - Total Days: 123 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.3°F [28.5°C] - Humidity: 84.3% - VPD: 0.63 kPa - Soil %: [49, 48, 31, 52, 40, 39, 43, 40] ----------------------------------- - [+09:47]: Quick morning check on the 4x4 tent. --- Looking great in the veg garden! --- Both Heady OG and TKO clones are looking healthy and more than ready for a transplant. --- Mothers are recovering, but have decided to cull and cycle the tent out. --- The veg tent is getting cluttered. --- Since lights are about to turn off, going to wait until the next day cycle (in ~6 hours) before cycling out the mother plants. - [16:44]: Okay! Time to start the mother cycling process. --- After the culling, will also top dress each pot. - [16:59]: Took the floor rack, floor fan, clones, and cutting out of the tent. --- Will transplant both Heady OG and TKO clones before watering. - [16:01]: Using a basic hacksaw, --- Cut the base of each mother and mulched the entire plant. - [17:21]: Done! --- Mulched all mother plants into a paper bag. - [17:34]: Time to top dress the first pot! --- Starting with the front right pot, --- Disconnected the auto watering system. --- Took the pot out of the tent and placed it on the floor. - [17:59]: Removed the rootball. --- Temporarily removed the soil sensor and swapped the AA battery with a new one. --- Also temporarily removed the straw mulch. --- Tilled and removed the larger roots as well. These will be added back later as part of the mulch. --- Continued until the top 5-6 inches of top soil was loose and soft. --- The soil moisture felt great and smelled earthy with no foul odors. --- Also glad to find worms in all pots! - [18:03]: Time for the soil amendments! --- Top dressed: ------ 1/4 cup of Kashi Blend ------ 1/2 cup of Craft Blend ------ 2 cups of BuildASoil Worm Castings --- Sprinkled each amendment evenly. --- Using my fingers, gently tilled the amendments into the top few inches of soil. --- Also dug and loosened the center area. Made sure the area was deep enough for a solo cup and had some of the top dressing mixed in. --- Dug a hole and placed a solo cup into the center of the pot. --- Made sure the sides of the cup were tucked in and each cup has drainage holes. - [18:24]: Placed the larger roots as mulch. Spread the roots evenly. --- Placed the original straw mulch on top. - [18:33]: Placed the Ecowitt soil sensor back into the pot. --- Also re-connected the drip-ring rig. --- Set the pot aside for later. - [19:36]: Repeated this process for each pot. --- Alright all pots have been reset! --- Time for a bit of cleanup! - [19:53]: Cleaned the tent floor. --- First sweeped and removed the larger leaf debris. --- Then sprayed the floor with distilled water and let it soak for a bit before wiping with paper towels. - [22:48]: Placed all pots into the tent and connected the drip-rings to the auto-watering system. --- Also placed the floor fan back. --- Ca-Caw! Time to transplant both Heady OG (BX1 #1) and TKO into the (7-gallon) pots! --- Let's go! - [22:59]: Gently removed the left two solo cups from the fabric pots leaving perfect holes. ------ Sprinkled 1/4tsp of Great White into each hole, --- Dusted the sides of the hole. --- Also sprinkled a bit around the top soil. --- Great! Time to transplant! --- Going to start with TKO since she is going to be in the back left quadrant. --- It’s been a day since her last watering. --- To loosen the rootball from the cup, I gently squeezed the sides before pressing the bottom upwards. --- Vulcan-gripped the base of the plant and flipped her upside down. - [23:09]: TKO easily dropped straight out of her cup! --- Nice! Roots look healthy and white! --- Did not break up the rootball. - [23:15]: Gently placed her into the pre-inoculated hole (back left quadrant). --- Pressed and evened out the top soil. - [23:22]: Repeated this process for Heady OG (front left quadrant). --- Looking great my ladies! --- Okay! Time to water the new mothers and re-amended pots! --- Since most of the time these girls will be receiving straight RO water, going to water in a diversity of microbes to start off the initial breakdown process. - [23:57]: Filled a pitcher with 8 cups of RO water, ------ Added 1/16tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract ------ Added 1/16tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus ------ Added 1/8tsp of Recharge ------ Added 1/4tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1/4tsp of Horticultural Coconut ------ Added 1/2tsp of Mycrobe Complete ------ Added 1/2tsp of WDG3000 Extra Strength BTI - [+00:04]: Mixed the solution before pouring 2 cups straight into a pump sprayer. --- Misted the solution onto the straw mulch of the back left pot. --- Tried to avoid spraying the solo cups. --- Repeated this process for each of the pots in the veg tent. --- Misted the straw mulch evenly. - [+00:22]: Done with the tent reset! --- All pots are fully re-amended and clones have been transplanted! --- The tent is ready for another veg cycle! - [+00:25]: Checked on the propagation dome. --- Growth is looking great! --- Heady OG cuttings have probably both rooted, but will leave them in the tray for a bit longer. The Heady OG (BX1 #1) mother is clearly going to survive and the genetics has been preserved. So going to wait to transplant the extra cuttings into solo cups at the same time. --- Did not mist the top growth. --- Opened the right side vent. Now only one vent is open. - [+00:27]: Oops! The extra mother plant cuttings still need to be placed into the tent. --- Earlier in the day, refreshed the RO water. --- Also while culling the mothers, took a few more cuttings from each to root in the cup. - [+00:35]: Instead of using the floor rack, decided to place the cup of cuttings on top of the propagation dome. --- Placed the cup on top of an upside-down drip tray. Since these cuttings don’t need a lot of PPFD, hoping the in-direct bounce lighting will be enough. - [+00:42]: Quickly checked on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! Woah these ladies are still stretching! --- To my surprise, Heady OG has stretched taller than TKO and may need to be super cropped soon. --- This grow cycle is starting to get pretty wild!
