***** Week 5 - Jan 9 to 15/21 ****** This week the girls saw lots of change! They have seen a light change and now they have been transplanted and topped. Push the girls harder and see how they react😃 They have been in very good shape and healthy so they have been reacting well to the stress. These girls are pretty strong considering they are a week behind the others. They were topped this week but not much material removed from the tops of these girls. They have bounced back very well. Topped all of the ETS girls and left them with 4 sets of branches on each. If the lowest set of branches were tiny, I have stripped them off already. Not sure if I am going to SCROG or not.....I don’t really want to but it is the best way to fill the canopy and test out the light spread......will see. These girls seem to be growing strong and may need to be tied down or stretch could be a bitch😂 They have continued to be fed once a week roughly and supplemented with calmag and microbes. Little more detail....... Jan 9/21, Day 29 Veg - Transplant day today!!!!!! She went into a 5 gal pot - Root mass was much better than in the solo cups......not as strong as Gorilla Girl for comparison but just about perfect and didn’t need to prune them. - 1.5L watering of the pots after transplant with CalMag @ 2ml, Microbial Mass @ 3ml, Piranha @ 2ml (effectively microbes, fungi and CalMag watering) Jan 10/21, Day 30 Veg - 1.5L Feed with full strength week 2 nutrients - added CalMag @ 1ml as well. New coco in the pots that have not been buffered so added a little more. - 1,300ppm and 5.9pH.......feeling it might be a little high.....target was 1150ppm. - no run off water from the pots. Didn’t want to “soak” the pots, jet wet them. - New light in the tent today. 650watt but dialled down so the girls have roughly 10,500 LUX, drawing 135 watts - Topped the girls today as well😃 - left 4 sets of branches on each girl. Topped them up high on the node above to help avoid splitting the main stem. Jan 11/21, Day 31 Veg - Dry out day - girls reacting well to the high ppm feed from yesterday. Jan 12/21, Day 32 Veg - 1.5L watering with CalMag @ 1ml - 200ppm and 5.9pH Jan 13/21, Day 33 Veg - Dry out day Jan 14/21, Day 34 Veg - 2L watering with CalMag @ 2ml - 250ppm and 5.9pH (actually added 1ml of Micro as pH was a little high) - IPM spray tonight with Lost Coast Plant Therapy @ 3ml/L. Done at lights out. - This product been working well and nothing has been a set back so not going to stop now😃👍 Jan 15/21, Day 35 Veg - Dry out day. - Girls doing well. Still have some strong purple in the fan leaves coming off the main stem.

Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 11 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17517.6, Another healthy week in the garden! Heady OG is filling in her pot beautifully and wow growth is healthy and all I see is green! Ca-Caw! TKO has also been raging and blowing up with growth! Re-strung the scrog frame and dropped it in place. Also upgraded the tent a bit by installing Vivosun’s CFM Kit. Pancaked TKO and started training her to fill in the back two quadrants of the tent. Heady also reached the netting! Started some low-stress training to fill in the front two quadrants. Veg tent has been healthy and gnat free! Super-cropped the mothers and the canopy has been recovering nicely! Also started germinating my first batch of popcorn tea! This will be my first time applying any Sprout Seed Tea (SST) and plan to feed next week. Onwards to next week Ensign!

Another late night shift in the garden! --- Heady OG (BX1 #1) is looking perky and spreading out nicely! She’s a good --- TKO is just raging with growth! Bushy and beautiful! - [+01:02]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 50% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 40% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 50% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 54% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 45% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 41% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 45% - [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] - [+01:04]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Looking great my ladies! Canopy is healthy and green! --- Pots also looking incredible and gnat free! Nematodes for the win! - [+01:06]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. - [+01:10]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Easy night in the garden! Day 02 - Tuesday - 07/01/25 - Total Days: 079 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 85.3°F [29.6°C] - Humidity: 77.4% - VPD: 0.94 kPa - Soil %: [48, 41, 49, 53, 42, 43, 43, 42] ----------------------------------- - [13:03]: Smoke update! --- Wow! I think I found the one! --- Both of the Garlic Budder phenos (OG#1 and OG#2) are getting pretty dank! --- Both have been curing for a good 6-7 months (since 12/13/24) and now taste completely different! The #2 pheno now has a pungent earthy fuel profile which has made her a keeper! The #1 pheno is more on the purple sweeter terp profile side, which is not really enough to be a keeper, but the smoke is definitely smoother and terpier than before. --- Still searching for more keepers, but now have a potential mother to breed with. Getting hyped! --- Wow curing really does make a huge difference! --- As for the Gorilla Goat phenos, they have been curing for about 3 months (since 04/08/25) and taste okay but nothing special. The #1 pheno still has a pretty loud lemon cleaner nose, but nothing to special on the smoke. Yet. I think. --- Also, for this cycle, plan to probably reduce the 18/6 harvest flip from 7 days down to 4 days. I think 7 days might have been too long and may have caused some re-vegging. --- Will continue to pheno hunt for more keepers! - [16:21]: Evening check on the 4x4 tent. --- Wow the garden is raging! --- All growth looks green and the canopy is filling in! --- Heady OG is starting to reach the side of the 30 gallon pot, but still has a ways to go before reaching the scrog frame. Growth looks healthy and green so I’m happy! --- Wow TKO is bushy and getting enormous! She has already started to fill in the front left quadrant of the tent. - [16:23]: Alright! Time to start scrogging and training out the canopy. Let’s go! --- Temporarily took the PVC scrog frame out of the tent. - [16:35]: Okay time to re-string the frame! --- Like always, used mason string for the netting and double-looped each screw. Strung the vertical lines before weaving the horizontal lines over and under the vertical lines. --- Also covered the top of each corner with foil and masking tape. - [17:14]: Done! Scrog frame is re-strung and looking great! --- Set the frame aside for a bit. - [17:15]: Going to give Vivosun’s High CFM (cubic feet per minute) Support Kit a try. --- Once the scrog frame is installed, the back area is difficult to access. So need to install the kit before placing the frame back in. --- The kit came with 4 identical support bars which snap snugly onto the vertical tent bars. --- Assembly was pretty straight forward and the bars snapped and screwed together with ease. --- To make the process a lot easier, I installed all the corners first. The bars easily snapped into the corner pieces and once fully secured, the whole tent feels a lot more stable. The kit also widens the tent to keep the fans from hitting the sides. --- Left the front bar off for now (only have the front corners installed). --- To ensure that the support bars are level, decided to place the bottom (back and front) bars just above where the tent bars snap together (about 41 inches from the floor). The top (side) bars were installed just above (about 43 inches from the floor). --- These bars should help to keep the walls of the tent expanded which should give more room for the oscillating fans. - [18:05]: Installed and gently dropped the scrog frame into place. --- Secured each corner to each corner (flag pole) clip. --- The frame height was not adjusted and the netting is about 33 inches from the floor. --- Also trained TKO and tucked her taller branches under the netting. --- Super-cropped and pinched a few branches and redirected them away from the front area of the tent. --- Lastly, installed the front CFM bar. --- Keeping the front area clear for Heady OG and won’t flip to flower until the frame is completely full. --- Heady OG still has yet to reach the netting, but that’s okay. --- Plan to veg for another month or so before flipping to flower so Heady OG has plenty of time to fill in the front. --- Grow strong my girls! - [18:19]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 46% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 41% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 54% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 53% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 40% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 43% - [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] - [18:21]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mothers are vegging along beautifully and wow the canopy has exploded! --- The canopy has almost reached the grow light! --- Time to super-crop! - [18:35]: To make the process a lot easier, used a pair of needle-nose pliers. --- For added cushioning, the tips of the pliers were wrapped in masking tape. - [18:37]: Perfect! The canopy is flat and a good 5-6 inches lower! --- The pliers made super-cropping a whole lot easier! Especially stoked on how well they worked on the Garlic Budder phenos in the back. Both have brittle branches and when pinching and bending, a few usually break. But not when using the pliers. Nice! --- Pots also look great and no signs of gnats! The double inoculation seemed to have eliminated the larval population and the under canopy is thriving! - [18:41]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Another grow day done! Day 03 - Wednesday - 07/02/25 - Total Days: 080 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 85.4°F [29.7°C] - Humidity: 78.1% - VPD: 0.91 kPa - Soil %: [49, 40, 49, 53, 43, 41, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [23:06]: Quick night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Looking green and growth is perking up nicely! --- Heady OG is getting bigger and she has almost reached the edge of the pot. Also no gnats and no flooding. Perfect! --- TKO is recovering from the scrogging an growth is straightening up towards the grow light! Great! --- Trained a few of TKO’s front branches. Trying to keep her front growth from over taking the front area. - [23:17]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Wow! Growth has almost fully recovered and most already perky! --- Canopy is nice and low with tops everywhere! --- Pots also look great and gnat free! - [23:19]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 04 - Thursday - 07/03/25 - Total Days: 081 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 85.1°F [29.5°C] - Humidity: 77.5% - VPD: 0.93 kPa - Soil %: [48, 40, 49, 53, 41, 41, 42, 41] ----------------------------------- - [09:08]: Quick morning check on the 4x4 tent. --- Looking healthy in the garden! --- Heady OG is continuing to widen out and has stretched just beyond the sides of her pot! --- TKO is recovering nicely with even and beautiful top canopy growth! - [09:10]: Quickly checked on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mothers are vegging along and looking healthy! --- Sleep well my girls! - [16:26]: Evening check on the 4x4 tent. --- Caw-Caw! Good morning ladies! Garden is looking healthy and green! --- Heady OG is looking bit droopy but she is just waking up. --- TKO is looking healthy and perky! - [16:59]: Took the weekly general PPFD readings. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was around 307 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 19.89 mol/m²/d under an 18/6 light cycle. ------ TKO was around 344 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 22.29 mol/m²/d under a 18/6 light cycle. - [17:14]: Took height and light distance measurements. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 17" tall. ------ TKO was about 20.5" tall. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 4" away from the scrog netting. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 36" away from the grow light. ------ TKO was about 31.5" away from the grow light. - [17:24]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 52% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 40% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 54% - [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] ------ 45% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 42% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] | 45 - 60% [Moist] | 70% [Wet] --- All WittFlow units are also connected and charged.

All growth is raging and starting to stretch upwards again! --- Pots look good and no signs of gnats. Perfect! - [19:22]: Ca-Caw! Time to start making some popcorn tea! --- This will be my first attempt at any form of Sprouted Seed Tea (SST). What can possibly go wrong right? --- Anyways, --- Shoutout to Easy-E and Bleezy along with Minnesota Nice for the basic recipe and technique! Feed the worms and keep the soil hydrated. The worms will do the rest. --- Of course shoutout to the legend who inspired all three, Subcool420. His videos are still on YouTube and are an inspiration to keep striving to grow better and to eventually breed the best genetics. Peace and live forever through good memories. 🖖 --- Over a decade of dope and living soil is still the way to grow! Stay up weed nerds! --- Adjusted the original 10 gallon SST recipe to a 1 gallon batch. --- Also adding in a bit of aloe for the initial seed soak. --- To germinate and sprout the popcorn, using a one pint (2 cups) wide-mouth mason jar. --- Alright Ensign, don’t frack this up! Let’s go! ------ Added 2tbsp of Popcorn Seeds ------ Added 1 cup of RO water ------ Added 1/64tsp of Horticultural Aloe --- Mixed the solution and seeds around a bit. - [17:46]: Decided to also place the jar on the heating mat. --- The thermostat is set to a warm 83°F (currently at 85.2°F) --- Shouldn’t be an issue since the local weather is warming up, but just want to keep the jar nice and warm. --- To keep the jar insulated, covered it with a towel. --- Done! --- Going to soak the seeds for at least 24hrs before draining out the water. Then plan to rinse the seeds daily with RO water for about a week before blending up and feeding! --- The sprouted popcorn will contain both growth enzymes and cytokinins which will help the soil biology. --- Also the worms will enjoy the extra nutrients! - [+00:55]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. - [+00:57]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Growth looks green and healthy which is the most important. --- TKO is just raging! Tops are already pointing straight up and stretching towards the grow light. - [16:31]: Using both my hands and a chop stick, --- Tucked and trained TKO a bit more. - [16:34]: Alright! The canopy is nice and even! --- Will continue to re-direct growth to the back right quadrant of the tent. --- Wow! TKO’s main stalk is thickening nicely! --- Anyways, grow strong my girls! - [16:39]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 52% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 40% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 51% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 52% - [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] ------ 46% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] | 45 - 60% [Moist] | 70% [Wet] - [16:41]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mothers are all looking healthy and perky! --- Pots are still gnat free! --- Easy evening in the garden! --- Okay!

Girls have exploded into flower! They had a big stretch and have started stacking very nicely. Flower came so fast, they are showing a slight phosphorus need, and perhaps a bit more cal/Mag to help with uptake and such. I’ve been introducing the Clyde nutrients slowly to try and avoid burn, but I clearly need a bit more. I am liking the results overall though. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

Hey guys :) My first run is nearly complete, I started flushing this week. Ill also give them 2 to 3 days of complete darkness at the end to slowly start the drying process in soil. I’m more then happy how it turned out so far, one of them is also starting to turn a little purple. Got one lady that has the big ass fox tails, one with fluffy buds and two with very dense rock hard buds. Trichomes are starting to turn cloudy, but most of them were still clear last time I’ve checked. I’ll turn the lights for them off as soon as they are cloudy with some of them being amber. Still looking forward for every advice for the end stages :) thanks all of yall

Did a bigger defol. Adjusted the trellis. May or may not have been watering with too high of ph (7.2) so hopefully microbes have been doing their job.

After I discovered last week that weeds were clogging my grass, I was forced to disrupt the primeval nature of the plantation and remove all the extra plants that were harming my girls. On the one hand, the presence of different wild plants on the plantation is an additional disguise for our grass, since it merges into the General background, it is more difficult to see it from afar or from the air with a quadracopter. But in addition to disguise, among the weeds there are also parasitic plants, these are creepers that spread their vines and get confused to strangle our girls, as well as other plants parasites eat away useful substances from the soil, so when they interfere with your plants, they should be removed. But in fact, it is better not to leave extra traces of human activity behind on your plantations, as this increases the risks of detecting your guerrilla marijuana plantation.

Okay so after 48 hours instead of 24 of darkness. These ladies were begging to be chopped with how much more intense the smell got. Cheesy , sweet , skunky , and a floral incense kind of scent. Made lots of finger hash just getting them off the plants , already smoked. I’m about 75% done with chopping all the major tops. This time I decided to cut off the branches and dry on an eight tier 24” diameter rack off Amazon. All 8 tiers are full with gorgeous top colas. I’m drooling. Can’t believe just how much bud this is turning out to be. They are dense , and oozing. Not going to get a wet weight because this is just too much. But holding the rack it’s like 20 lbs or more. My scales don’t go that high. Lol. Gotta say it, I think my buds look 10 times better than the advertisement photos g13 lab’s mozzarella. My 2 cents and honest opinion. Please do give me your opinions. I know I didn’t show the full grow because life gets busy. My next grow I want to control the humidity and heat levels a bit better. Or just humidity and run co2 to withstand higher temps. I have every angle of the grow under my tips now. It feels amazing to have this kind of harvest after the dedication these plants received. I’m Convinced…. rdwc with a water chiller , is by far the best way to do hydro. When it’s dry I’ll add the final weights. My nutrient reg is this. Jacks 321 , botanic are cal mag plus, hydroguard,PK booster is flower fuel(purple can off Amazon) and unsulfured molasses. If you don’t have an ability to keep water at 70 degrees then only use jacks hydroguard and cal mag. You’ll still do well but that molasses , that sauce is the boss.

I had a few issues throughout I think the preflowers were the main beginning of the issues as I expected the orange sherbet too find further issues as she was so small. We continued with strawberry being okay but not what I want personally and the orange sherbet in honesty not great due too late flush... I think mixing pjotoperiod and autos was utterly confusing for myself so have opted too auto feed everything and maintain autoflowers only from when my fastflowering strains finish. A long cure for the strawberry gorrila she would of excelled without issues no doubt as can see the lovely flowers previous too harvest. Orange sherbet ff still going so go check her out with full veg time 🌱

I'm thinking this is going to be my final week of veg, I'll be switching to hps 12/12 for flower, looking forward to seeing these girls bud up. 5/29 Switched my bulb from MH to HPS, to let the ladies adjust by the end of the week. Starting next week, that'll be on a 12/12 schedule for sure.

Watered each with 1ml/200ml once for each plant top of the week. Weather is now sub 16°C in the day time, i'm guessing the seedlings are hibernating for the cold. Mostly it rely on the rain to keep these drinking but i notice when the weather gets cold the plants drink less, anyway seeing their size looks like they really dont need much right now. most of the plants got attacked by some leaf eaters, nothing that major though, one of the plants is showing some burn, but nothing i can do about that... Basically on cruise control and i'm not really taking care of them. Companion plants seem like they're slowing too but less so than the cannabis plants. i pulled on pot marigold because it was just so huge, otherwise it's handsoff basically. Wish these poor plants good good luck - they really do need it ! 🚀

Day 15 I decided to try LST on the Forgotten Cookies x Forum Stomper again. In retrospect it still might have been a little early, but she took it well. Day 17 It's still crazy to me how fast these things grew in the beginning. Leaves starting to curl up on the edges which I think was from wind burn. I might have adjusted the fan a bit in response but I think I was ultimately fine with them getting some wind. Did first LST on the Forum Stomper and a re-adjust for the FCxFS. I was really happy with how many bud sites I uncovered on the Forum Stomper. Already felt like my LST techniques were improving. Day 19 More LST adjustment for both. With how fast they were growing, I was adjusting the wires pretty much daily. Still just water and recharge up to this point. Day 20 36x20x62 tent enters the chat. Really happy with how well this fit into my closet. Fit right into the corner where the plants used to be (Week 1 has the first setup picture). AC Infinity T4, Genesis clip-on fan. Girls are doing great.

The girl is getting bigger and stronger, she grows beautifully, the branches have grown all over the box. Like her sisters, I will give her PH Down from Jungle Indabox next week - the nutrients I use will be given to this girl as a precaution so that the PH does not increase. Keep it up 😍
