Lost my notebook with all my notes on this grow. All I have are the pics which I'll post. The dates of the pics may not correspond with the weeks in the diary. Keep up to date if you are going to keep a diary online and keep a written one. I definitely learned my lesson. Several weeks of notes on 5 different strains lost. Well enjoy the pics at least.

Holy shit we boomin'. I actually had to super crop (i think that's what i did) bc one red poison was getting so tall. I had to pull her to 90 degrees... she's already back reaching for the light - I'm not sure what impact this has on my grow, but I think it will be a positive one. She was going to be insanely tall if I hadn't done this.

5/25 watered with pH about six. I finished trellising everything. One end left tacked so I can slide the girls in. Wife had medical emergency or they would be in the ground right now. Oh well I imagine a day more won't hurt but I'm getting excited. Spot treated WPM on a GDP. I have a feeling I'm going to need to be on point with my IPM this year. 5/26 I finally got the girls in their homes! It's a tight fit. Only seven right now. I'm considering using axium to help with any transplant shock. They were already severely rootbound in 2 gal when I got them and some were VERY rootbound in the 3 gal. They were transplanted using mykos and info a 50 gal pot and grow bags 30 and 20 gals. I may use kangaroos or something tomorrow. A few were rough transplants since they were so big and rootbound. I'm hoping everything works out. I'll try to keep this updated. I also put most of them in backwards lol. I'm sure it doesn't matter but I turned the few I was able too. 5/27 Plants look great. I was a little worried about transplant shock but damn they seem fine. Rained lightly last night. 5/31 I see pH fluctuation on some leaves. Soil wasn't mixed enough on a couple plants. pH jumped to 8 on one I hope the rain lowered it. They survived a couple stops and still doing good. No nutes yet.

Weekly update on these beauties. They've started the flower phase showing preflowers everywhere. Two have stayed more on the smaller side but still stretching where the 3rd has takin off probably 30in tall. All in all excited for the weeks to come seeing them progress further into flower.

I continued the LST and defoliated a few fan leaves that obstructed light. i bound the other stems of the plant lower to keep it a bit more down since it was growing at a rapid rate.

The new additional nutrients I received from House and Garden are nothing short of amazing. I contacted them about a possible sponsorship and they sent me the entire like of nutrients for my entire grow. The first thinning and structure happened this week and everyone responded well, especially the Black dog OG. The San Bacio Gelato is showing its vigor as being the tallest plant out of the for and expectedly so. The Purple Matcha will get two watering of just Terpinator as it doesn’t like the feeding schedule I am implying. The Bubba is doing what Bubba does! Being an absolute stud of a strain,

Another first timer…I am satisfied with her progress thus far. I'd probably turn her Inna project by crossing with the Skunk #1 pollen. Time will tell..

This plant seems to have grown much denser and better than my first plant. I just got the ac infinity ventilation setup with controller 69 for my 2x2, still trying to learn, hopefully grow #3 goes even better. Stay tuned

My good friend convinced me that trimming and training are paramount, so I've started with slowly defoliating the Creme de la Chems to try and get to lollipop status. They're just starting to flower, so I figured I could get away with a more aggressive approach. Because I failed to train these girls early, I'm stuck dealing with a little rain forest. What I've tried to do is trace each flower topped stalk up from the base, and trim away from the bottom up. 1/3 of the way up per day. I've now got a thick canopy, and I've been trying to just use leaf tucking and manual manipulation every few hours in order to keep the different height flowering sites in direct light. These ladies have really been thriving, and it's been such a joy to watch them grow! I like having two plants in one net pot letting them grow wild, but I think in my next grow I'll keep it to one per pot and train better from the start. As for the Super Orange Haze ... not as good. I attempted to pull the main branch over to train her to some empty space, but I was too aggressive and ended up popping her head off :(. First grow, first disaster. I took the head and stripped her/coated in clonex and pushed her into some potting soil just to see what would happen. There hasn't been enough foliage to really make me want to do any trimming, I've just tried to tie the stalks off to train them apart. I'm really sad about my mistake decapitation, but she seems to be doing well still. She's probably week 2 of flower based on others' journals. I changed the water midway through the week (which is when the videos were taken). I drained most of the water out, but roots prevented me from getting the last few gallons. When I refilled the res with RO, I measured the PPM at around 200. I have to assume that remaining nutrient was completely unbalanced leftovers, so feeding will have to just have to be experimental. My approach has been to give around 1:1 Gro vs Bloom and Micro every 2-3 days when I refill with RO. I want to build my PPM up to 1000, but slowly so that I can detect if I hit a ceiling first. It's hard to measure how much food is in the water based on PPM. CalMag is what drives it mostly, so I've been using CalMag as a sort of measuring stick. I keep the CalMag pegged to the Bloom food, but I know it's only good for initial dosing. I can't assume the plants are eating CalMag in the same proportion as anything else :(. If anyone has a line on cheap lab testing ... hit me up. I'd love to be able to test a few hundred samples at a time for NPK and trace so that I can tell (even if post facto) what was going on.

02.02.2025 Going full power with the nutes by following the exact schema from Hesi. 👉I've resolved my PH-drift issue, was kinda obvious but due to lack of experience didn't think it's my ph-down solution. Basically I was correcting my mineral soup with organic PH- (citric acid), and it only worked for few hours, that is not good when using Autopot. Got the bottle of phosphoric acid and it's rock solid now, what a relief! 😇 25th day. Nothing to say much, will only update when smth happens. 26th day. Noticed a pre-flower condition on the main stem. 27th day. Continue with more LST and light defoliation 28th-29th-30th days. LST, some more leaves went down. 31st day. Leaving for a holiday for 3 days.

Séptima semana de los esquejes, va todo bien y nada fuera de lo común. Empecé a mezclar agua purificada con el agua de la llave para tener una EC mas equilibrada ya que aun no me llega el producto que había comprado, pero de alguna manera tenia que solucionarlo y por el momento va bastante bien. Les realice una defoliación a los dos esquejes para que se definan bien sus brotes "principales" y estos tomen más fuerza. Los dos respondieron bastante bien a esté estrés. Hoy agregue la malla para scrog pero aún ninguna llega a la altura pero pronto lo harán. También estoy esperando que la Negra 44 que los acompaña crezca lo suficiente para comenzar la floración por esto deben quedar alrededor de 2-3 semanas de vegeta. La temperatura con el led apagado esta entre 16-17ºC y ya no puedo hacer más. Hice todo lo que estaba a mi alcance así que lo mas probable es que se mantenga en esos rangos durante el cultivo. Espero que esto no genere mayores dificultades en el cultivo. Cualquier recomendación sera bien recibida!! *Al final una foto del guardián del cultivo. Muchas veces se colara en el contenido que subiré. 😅 😂

Almost ready, want to give 1 more week for some brown trichomes. Big trees , especially N1. Hard and frosty buds. Good genetics . Last few times watering with raw cane molasses or just water.
