Gorilla gorilla... my problem child. It has a mind of its own, doesn't want to fit the scrog, seems way behind on her roommates, and is so far a little bit of a disappointment. We will see where she will go, something smokable might come of it. So I defoliated a little, amended with solid nutes: worm castings, bone meal and some extra micro life. Over this, I poured feed, see the liquid feed schedule above. Overal this plant is cramping my stylo a little. Again enforcing my resolution to only grow top genetics, it costs a lot of time and I have only so much space within the legal framework, why bother with inferior strains? We shall see where she takes us... For now, still not impressed much. See you next week!! Hug Bud

Week 3 has just been wild there proper going for it

Down to the last few days til harvest. Pics never do justice. Looking forward to seeing what I yield in this test 2x2 with a 200 watt Black Dog LED.

7/25 Did two videos this morning. One where I was only going to water the 3 gallons I had mixed up but it's going to be very hot this week. Didn't want to make the same mistake as last time so I watered everything AT LEAST A GALLON. I need to bump up the volume during these really hot, humid days abd it doesn't get worse then this. Things are getting dusty. Found an inch worm and some minor pest damage. Once it cools down ill spray something. Also noticing small nitrogen deficiency that takes a leaf and moves up the plant a little bit. I'm going to need to start nutes this week. I'll keep this updated. Went back over around one and everything was looking fantastic! Took a few pictures and defoliated a few leaves. UPDATE: I GOT A MESSAGE FROM DAD SAYING MY PLANTS LOOKED DROOPY. I HADNT MADE IT OVER FOR MY NIGHTLY INSPECTION BUT HAVING WATERED YESTERDAY I WAS THINKIBG OF SKIPPING IT. GOT THERE AND SAW THE FIRST 10TH PLANET DROOPY. ALL THE TENTH PLANETS LOOK RELATIVELY THE SAME BUT ONE OF THEM IS MY "CANARY IM A COAL MINE" AS IT DROOPS WAY BEFORE THE OTHERS. THE TWO BLUE CHEESES IN 20S THAT DRY OUT FASTER GOT TWO GALLONS AS DID MY 10TH PLANET CANARY AND MY BIG BLUE IN THE 50. ITS BEEN 90S AND SUNSHINE AND ITS ONLY GOING TO GET HOTTER. I HAVE THINGS GOING ON IN THE MORNING SO I WONT HE ABLE TO WATER. I NOTICED MORE NITROGEN DEFICIENCY RISING IN THE BLUECHEESE THAT DRINKS ALL THE WATER. OBVIOUSLY ILL NEED TO ADD NUTES SOONER THAB LATER CONSIDERING IM IN FLOWER BUT THE PLANTS ARE STILL A NICE GREEN AMD ONLY LOSING VERY FEW LEAVES. I ACTUALLY SAW A COUPKE BURNT LEAF TIPS ON A COUPKE PLANTS AFTER I WATERED WITH THE KELP ME/YOU. THIS SOIL IS AWESOME. WHAT IS THIS? WEEK 16 AND STILL GOING STRONG. WHEN I DO DECIDE TO START NUTES ILL TEST IT ON THAT BLUE CHEESE THATS FURTHER IN SENESCENCE. I TOOK A QUICK VIDEO ILL UPLOAD TOMORROW. 7/26 Had a bear come around my cage and getting into out bird feeders. Bent the iron shelerds hook all the way to the ground! Getting AMMONIA now to try and keep him away. Bags were heavy this morning but it's going to be really hot again. It'll be on the 90s the next few days so I need to be very careful. After we get through this I'll do an app of BT. Garden looks fantastic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lants are looking FANTASTIC this morning. Soil is still damp this morning and bags are heavy as hell. They look super happy. Obviously my watering situation depends on the weather. Today and tomorrow are supposed to be the hottest days so I wanted to make sure the plants had sufficient water before this. I'll let them dry out totally before watering again. There's another four lined plant big somewhere that sat there and destroyed another leaf. I'm AT LEAST spraying with BT after this heat wave. Supposed to rain a little today with thunderstorms. I haven't got my supports up yet but if i need to I coukd throw my tarps up real quick. Don't think I'll need to though. These are some tough freaking plants and I am super proud of how they've turned out thus far. UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER AND RE APPLIED BLEECH TO THE RAGS AND ON THE PERIMETER OF MY CAGE. I TACKED A FEW MORE DRYER SHEETS UP. REASON I DID THIS WAS BECAUSE WEVE BEEN GETTING HORRIBLE THUNDER STORMS WITH TORRENTIAL RAIN. THE WEATHER MAN HAD BEEN WRONG SEVERAL TIMES WARNING OF THUNDER STORMS AND WE WOULDNT GET SHIT. THIS TIME IT WAS PRETTY BAD. TOOK A SHORT VIDEO. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HOTTEST DAYS TODAY AND TOMORROW. I DIDNT NOTICE ANY BREAKAGE AND I DONT SEE ANY ON MY CAMS. IM SURE ITS NOT THAT MUCH RAIN AND THOSE NAHS WILL DRY OUT SOON. I NEED TO GET MORE PH DOWN AND DECIDE WHAT IT IS IM GOING TO DO FOR NUTES IN FLOWER AND MAKE UP MY MIND. 7/28 Huge thunderstorms all day yesterday and through the night with high wonds. Plants made it through unscathed despite the lack of a trellis. Today is supposed to be the hottest of these days. I think the hear wave ends today. I really need to get my supports up. I'm super lucky to not have had any breaks during the storm. I have a couple of videos I did but I didn't upload them earlier and now that I'm back in the woods I doubt they'll upload now. I'll give it a shot. If not I'll put them up tomorrow. OH! I found that four lined plant bug that had been fucking up my leaves and squished him. Well I hope it was him. If not I killed a sibling at least. UPDATE: JUST WOW. This morning all drooped over from the storm went over at 4 and its still 90 and they seem to have grown sic inches and jumped forward WAY more into flower. I am amazed. I'll upload a photo or two but I took a video I'll put up tomorrow. Super stoked. Oh and you can give me a red smile face for not using nutes every week @growdiaries but you point out the deficiency then I'll fix it. 7/29 Plants looking fantastic this morning. UPDATE: PLANNED ON NOT GOING TO THECGROW TOMOGHT SEEING THAT IT HAD RAINED SO HARD AMD THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO GET RAIN TONIGHT. I GET THERE AT ABOUT FIVE AND MY CANARY AND A FEWCOTHERS WERE DROOPING! IT WAS IN THE 80S ALL DAY. I GAVE EACH PLANT A GALLON OF WATER. THE GROW BAGS ON THE TEO WORST PLANTS WERE SUBSTANTIALLY LIGHTER THAN THE REST. I HOPE IM NOT OVERWATERING. THE PLANTS SEEMED TO PICK BACK UP AFTER WATERING BUT ILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW TO UPLOAD MY PICTURES AND VIDEOS. I NEEDED TO ADD TEMPORARY SUPPORTS TO A COUPLE DIFFERENT PLANTS. IM CERTAINLY GLAD I GOT THE URGE TO GO OVER. WHAT A CHANGE IN A FEW HOURS 7/30 Plants are really growing fast and transitioning quick to flower. We got almost no rain so I'm glad I watered like I was supposed to even though the bags had some heft to them. I'm noticing more pest damage. I'm thinking a bt spray tonight might be beneficial. I'll look through what I've got on hand. I may just give them an application of spinosid but we'll see. I still need to move things and put my supports up. Medical problems have slowed me down. UPDATE: Went to check the plants around 3 and they looked great. Bags were still heavy and a little bit moist. I think with the added rain some of the plants may have been overwatered. I should have only watered tue bags that felt light. There is only one plant now that looks a little overwatered and even that is looking good. I found some more minor pest damage. Winds were fairly high. I wondered about my trellis netting but it hadn't been sanitized and my plants are very healthy so I decided to wait. I watched them dance like willows in the wind. I know it won't be like that with big ol colas on them but for right now it's working out just fine. Goal for next week is to move the front row back and move things around to better utilize space, possibly spray for pest and add supports for final flowering after I get the plants situated how I want them. If I do it right I may be able to lst some. Also took a 2 minute video but I cant upload until tomorrow. 7/31 I'm wondering about my watering habits. This morning I watered a couple blue cheese and purple punch plants with just a half gallon as they were light and looked drooping. I'm wonderingvif I'm overwatering. Some plants still seem heavy while others are light? I think the plants may have been overwatered due to the torrential rain and my taking less time hand watering. Hopefully I won't come home from this doctors appointment to wilted plants but I really doubt it. 10th planet requires far less water than the two other strains. Even specific phenos require more water and its difficult with the different size containers but im working with what ive got. I need more ph down and I've gotta get these plants supported. These are some massive plants. Store was closed. Dispensary was opened. Showed my buddy the video then it started raining. By the time I got there the plants looked horrible. Everything was droopy but a couple were really bad. A few weren't bad at all. Actually the one in the ten needed it. I think I just need to give more water at a time and document how I water each plant individually. I also need to take into consideration the weather. Hard to do when it's so unpredictable. I'll wait for them to dry out and then I plan to start low doses of big bloom and grow big but I need to wait for them to dry out first. Then next watering they'll get some nutes. It's sunny now so I may go check my plants. I may also put a fan out for a while on the bags. That might help them out.

Day 14 and the girls are looking good. No deficiencies. Everything seems to be fine.

Week 5 pretty successful, nothing bad happened, had good growth considering the troubles I had the week before. Leaving town for 3 days so they will be on their own. Plan on watering right before I leave and right when I get back. Got my lights on timers now. Pulled the light up to 24 inch assuming/expecting the plants will grow a bit while I'm gone. Had a lil bit of yellowing at some of the tips of one of the plants as seen in pic above. Any ideas y? Also posted a video and just curious if the wind is too much..?

Summer isn’t officially here and the heat is still kicking my ass, the girls are loving it though. 3rd topping completed in the 4x4, the FX3 3x3 both phenos are doing phenomenal! Taking clones next week to secure the bank, looking forward!

Hey welcome back in the 7th week of flowering with the Dutch Passion’s Brooklyn Sunrise. This week the ladies are doing pretty well after giving giving them some PK 13-14 extra. You can really see that they are also finaly swelling and some of them just exploded! I will continue the normal feeding schedule from now on again. That’s it for now see you all next week!

Week 1 of veg an this Tropicana Cookies auto is looking good growing by the day under this fold 6 from medic grow can't wait to see her in a couple weeks

9/26 This fucking sucks. Site won't let me upload pictures. Flood warning in effect. I believe this is the fifth day of rain. Not trickles. Sheet rain and high winds. My dream catchers have been taking this like a champ. Ice cream cake was totally sideways for awhile despite vertical trellis. I came down this morning to branches bent at 90° angles. I could've taken them but if I make it through this rain today it's supposed to stop tonight. Then I'll have a week of good weather. Buds are exploding. Even the ice cream cake. That will need more time but I'm getting close with the others. They are never out of sight. I'm surprised they've held up so well so far. I made my decision it would be stupid to alter it now, seeing how the storm is ending. I was going to spray k bicarb but I'll wait until after this rain.UPDATE: Went back over and the garden was flooded. I needed to put one grow bag on top of another as one plant was in six inches of water. I drained it and added supports and pulled off any dead leaves. I tried taking a video but it was raining so hard it stopped after 7 secs. Luckily my dreamcatchers are strong AF. Took to little ones and put them under the barn under a light. It's FINALLY stopped raining. After I smoke I gotta go back over and shake buds again and check for rot. Luckily nothing was broken but it was hanging right down. Fucking sucks. Spent like two hours in sheet rain. UPDATE: Stopped raining. I went over and continued to defoliate and cut little bits of rot from the interior. Sprayed a gallon of potassium bicarbonate and dawn on ever spot of rot I could find. I've been to the patch multiple times today. Found a few earwigs. I think I've found my problem. Late stage leaf septoria with earwigs eating the rotting plant matter. Fucking sucks but at least I have an idea. Can't upload pics and phone wouldn't even work in the rain. One 7 second video. 9/27 The extra work I've been putting in has certainly helped. I got in touch with a company who will do any type of extraction I want for $200 a lb. Fucking awesome. My cousin got 250 grams love rosin last year with this same company. I am sore. I checked trichs but I'm not seeing much Amber yet. Buds are gaining density fast. At least now that I have an idea what my problem is I can address it. Plants showed signs of pm after drying out. I did a k bicarb spray and this morning there isn't a spot. I need to take care of what's hanging so that's the plan today. 9/28 I think I made the right decision.my plants are looking good. Not where I want them but it's getting close. I checked the trichs this morning. Under 24 hour surveillance till harvest. Well it has been but now I stay up every nigh watching the cctv. Went down in the middle of the night to check for nocturnal bugs. Didn't find any. I've been defoliating the yellow septoria leaves. I went through every plant and cut out any rot and removed andy sugar leaves that started to turn brown. This and the k bicarb seem to help. I think that Leaf septoria has dwarfed the growth of the smaller dream catcher. Buds don't seem to be growing much more. Even my ICC has buds almost the size of the little one. The other dreamcatcher will probably be an elbow plant. The ice cream cake has beefed up incredibly and is covered in trich's. I'm super excited but I'm cautious at the same time. I hate that fucking dog but it's an added layer of security. Soon I'll do the harvest report for DJ short blueberry. 9/29 Trich's are changing fast. Haven't been watering lately do to all the rain. Plants are real real close. Up all night watching. Dog flipped out at 4am but no one was there. I want to wait until I have a little more Amber but I'm super excited. I may end up taking some tops. May end up doing a k bicarb spray today. Haven't decided yet. I'll update as I go. I've been making head way trimming the blueberry. 9/30. Things are looking beautiful. The smell at the garden is amazing. Lots of hard work left. Plants do have septoria and slight pm so I may do a bud wash. I cut a branch from each plant. I think I'm at the point of diminishing returns. Every wet night mold and critters take more and the chances of some idiot coming to try and take my shit increases. I may end up harvesting a little earlier. I'd lie to wait but the trichs look pretty good to me. Still doing all the maintenance required. I am extremely proud of this grow. I fought everything this year. Started with mites and thrips. Powder mildew came with them too. Now I've faced every pest or disease this year. At least it seems that way. I've seen the horror stories on my local Facebook thread. Leave your comments and let me know what you think about trichome stages and whether it would be ok to harvest. 10/1 Rained last night. Defoliated and removed some rot. I'll update later in the day. 10/2 Rained last night and I have A LOT to update which I will later.

May 12, 2024 Day 22 A new week. A new watering and some noticable size and progress differences. Let's get to it. Sour Diesel A: She looks really good. About 5.5" and fairly strong. I expect her to harden off nicely. Sour Diesel B: By the most noticable difference in the bunch. This lady is a whole node ahead of the others. She looks amazing. I wonder if she is going to tower over the rest. I'll have to really focus on LST in the coming weeks. She already has a really stiff stem. Thick as well for her size. I'll have to be careful with the initial bend. She's also a out 6" tall. Not much taller than the others, but the ratio is noticable. Sour Diesel C: Just the same as Sour Diesel A. About 5.5" tall, great color and a pretty strong stem. Nothing really noticable between the two for now. Sour Diesel D: She is about 5" now. A bit shorter and a bit behind. However, she is about the same strength and progression as A and C. She will most likely end up small. So I'm definitely giving her her own tent. Sour Diesel B is getting a bit wide now. She's starting to get to the edge of the container. I need that not to happen yet. I won't have space on 4 days. Eek! I'll see how things go. The rest aren't that far behind either. They are just about at the edge of the container. Not as bad, and they won't be much of an issue for the next couple of days. All four plants got 1/4 gallon top watering today. I don't like to flood the soil as my bottom feed system does not. So it makes sense to start low and work my way up. Eventually they will take in about a gallon a day. But by then, they will be well off on their bottom feed systems. Anyway, 1/4 gallon plain tap water each. I've set the DLI to 25 mol/m²/d for the week. I don't think it's going to stay like that for very long. I don't have top space left and this is not a dimming light. So if I have to I can only drop the light down. The environment is looking excellent. I stopped using the humidifier since the watering brought the humidity up to 70% all on its own. I'll have it down to 60% by the end of the week. For now it's nearly perfect with a temp of 77° and the humidity at 71%. The night temp is a bit low for this stage. It's 64° at night. Very low. I'd rather it be closer to 70° during lights out. As soon as they go in the 3x3, it will be fine at 70° during lights out. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.9° RH: 72.7% VPD: 0.81 kPa May 13, 2024 Not much to do today. No watering needed, no light changes, no pics. Just planning out LST starting in the next day or 2, especially for Sour Diesel B. She is growing quickly and is starting to grow over her container rim. Sour Diesel A looks great! Long base stem, nodes are a bit tight, but it's not the light. It's just how she's growing for now. I expect her to stretch those nodes out in no time. Sour Diesel B is shaping out to be a pretty vigorous plant. If she keeps this up, she may end up towering over the other plants. I'll have to work on a plan of action. Most likely more LST and maybe a SCroG net for the stretch. Just to keep things low and level with the rest of the canopy. I plan on tying her top down at node 4. It's just starting, but it's super pliable and will be tall enough in a day or two. Sour Diesel C is just the same as A. She is sporting shorter internodal spacing but has a nice long base stem. Much easier to get under the plant when defoliation time comes. Sour Diesel D. Now this plant is still behind the others. She has the same tight internodal spacing like A and C, but smaller. Depending on what happens with how these plants grow, I might be able to keep her in the main tent with the rest of the plants. However, if she ends up too short or if B ends up being too tall, she's going in the 2x2. Hopefully she will end up as big as the others and I can put my 2x2 away for now. The light is going to stay the same while in the veg tent. I can't turn it down, nor can I lift it any higher, so the plants will have to naturally grow into it for the time being. It's should be perfectly fine. Plus it's only for a few more days. I'll be harvesting a couple of Tropicana Cookies in a couple of days and that'll open up plenty of space for these 4 smaller plants without cramming them in. That's where my only concern with Sour Diesel B comes in. She may grow faster and be too big to fit in the tent with the other 5 plants. I hope not. I have a final 2 plants almost ready for harvest in the 3x3. They aren't huge, so they shouldn't really overshadow these ladies. At least not much. The environment is spot on. 77° and 72% humidity. Night time is fine I guess. Kind of cold in my opinion. It's at 67° on average at night with a low of 63.4° and a high of 73.7°. That's for lights out. Daytime is perfectly fine. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.4° RH: 72.8% VPD: 0.81 kPa May 14, 2024 Not a lot going on today. Just some pics and a water weight check. Still heavy. The solo pics will be every other day and the Veg Tent pic will be everyday with the grow day marked. Sour Diesel A is stretching nicely now. She can start training in a couple days. Great color. Beautiful leaves. Sour Diesel B is amazing. She's growing out now and has a strong stem. The very top is pliable. Not great for training. I might have to wait for a bit more stretch from her. She has some excellent internodal spacing. Perfect greens and 7 finger leaves. A great sign for a healthy plant. She's definitely going to be the star of this show. But who knows. Sometimes, another plant will shoot up out of nowhere. It's happened to me. One plant looked great while the other had some early stress. That one turned into a 21 oz monster. Insane. Anyway, there you have it. Right now any of them to could just take off, but I'm putting my money with this lady. Sour Diesel C still has some tight internodal spacing. I need to wait for her to start stretching so she can begin training. We'll see when that will be. Great colors and super healthy, just growing differently for now. Sour Diesel D is the definite runt of the bunch. She's not far behind though and I may actually get to keep her in the tent with the rest and put my veg tent away for the next 6 or 7 weeks. Still, I have the option of keeping it out and using it to keep space open for all plants. 3 in a 3x3 would leave tons of room for them to bush out and fill the canopy. Anyway, great color and very healthy regardless of size. She still may produce a good yield. The light will stay the same as always. They all have a slight reach going on and I couldn't be happier. I'll run a DLI check before I move them to the big tent. So I know what light level to start at. The environment is looking great! The temp is at a nice 77° and the humidity is right at 72%. That will drop when they get in the 3x3. I'll keep it at 60% for the rest of the Veg cycle. I'd also like to note about the medium. This is super soil I think. Or it's just loaded with nutrients. Happily all of the plants too swimmingly to it with no stress. My only thing is with adding nutrients. I don't really have any veg nutrients at the moment, but as this is hot soil, I don't think I'll need any for the veg cycle anyway. However, flowering may be a different story. I have Advanced Nutrients Big Bud, Bud Candy, Overdrive, Sensi Cal/Mag Xtra, Tasty Terpenes and B-52. I think I'll use them. I could use the B-52 during veg, but as I said, this is hot soil. So unless they show signs of deficiency during Veg, I won't add it. No sense in overdoing it. These are autoflowers and don't need a ton of nutrients. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 74.9% VPD: 0.78 kPa May 15, 2024 All 4 ladies got a quarter gallon of water today. I forgot to PH it, so that's a mistake. I will definitely remember next time. Tap water is 7.3. Sour Diesel A looks great! Her branches are growing nicely and fast. She has nearly caught up with B, but she's still 1 node behind. This one seems to be a straight hybrid phenome. Sour Diesel B looks amazing! She has doubled in size and her branches are about half way to the edge of the container. Very exciting. This is a sativa dominant phenome. Sour Diesel C also looks great. She still has the tight internodal spacing, but it's getting better. She looks to be the same phenome as A is. Sour Diesel D is a straight up indica dominant phenome. Her leaves are super wide compared to the other plants. She is still smaller, but not by a lot. Branching hasn't really started yet. Not like A and B. All four plants are super healthy with perfectly green leaves. Their stems are pretty strong. Especially B. Her stem is very close to being unable to train. We shall see. I may be just pulling the side branches out and defoliating that one. The light seems to still be perfect. Slight praying on the outside and perfect on the inside. I rotated B because of this. She was starting to pull towards the light. I may be able to drop it down a smidge for a bit more intensity. They should be able to handle it and maybe grow even faster. I just don't want squat plants. Not leggy either. Where they are at is just right. The environment hasn't given me a problem yet. Temp remains in the high 70°s and the humidity stays just around 70%. I think I'm going to drop it a bit earlier than I intended. I think it's time for the humidity to be closer to 60%. The temp will definitely stay the same, if not climb to the very low 80°s. The night time environment is a bit cold running at and average of 66.8° with the humidity climbing up to 80%. Once I drop humidity, the temp should increase. And once they get in the 3x3 tent, they won't have any problems keeping it at 60% and 77°. The night temp should also increase slightly. I'm hoping for 68° to 69° average and I'd like the humidity to remain at 60%. Shouldn't be a problem. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.5° RH: 71.2% VPD: 0.84 kPa May 16, 2024 All 4 ladies are showing vigor. They will definitely need water tomorrow, but are all very happy plants. Huge leaves, strong stems. Beautiful color green. Sour Diesel A is now the second best of the 4. She's a little shorter than B, but has started spreading her branches and stretching to spread that internodal spacing. She looks great! Sour Diesel B is absolutely stunning. She has beautiful leaves of a lush green. Perfect internodal spacing ratio and a super stiff stem. The branches are nearly at the edge of the container from both nodes 1 and 2. Node 3 is about half way there with node 4 and 5 just starting out. Eventually, I'll have to tie her down, but as I said before, I may train her differently and just pull out the side branches. Sour Diesel C still has some pretty short nodes. Tall main stem, and she is starting to stretch, but still kind of tight. Huge leaves though. Like massive for the size of the plant. And I'm pretty sure she has the biggest leaves of all the plants. Indica dominant? Or straight up hybrid? We'll find out soon enough. Sour Diesel D is still short, but is catching up to C. And much like C, she is showing short nodes and big leaves. Beautiful color and a very nice plant, but not as nice as the other 3. I think I'll rotate them out tomorrow. Put A and B in the back with C and D up front. My light may be unlevel. I don't think I can fix it though. It's too light and the power cord is super stiff, so it pulls the light one way. Oh and I need to check the DLI. I have a feeling I can drop it down now. Just a few inches I think. Just to get that DLI up and make these ladies shoot up. The environment is still really nice with a temp of 77° and the humidity at 68%. Night temps are an average of 66°. I'll leave it his way until I get into the big tent which should be tomorrow. Or even tonight depending on how I feel. I have to check trichomes on one thing plants in the main tent and if they look ready, I can swap them out. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 72.8% VPD: 0.81 kPa May 17, 2024 We have finally moved into the main tent. It's a super tight fit, but it fits nonetheless. Now things to note as we go into the main tent. First, I'm pretty sure my light in the 2x2 wasn't level front to back. Mostly because Sour Diesel A and B are now twice as tall as Sour Diesel C and D. More developed and perfect spacing between the nodes. To solve this issue, I changed the orientation. In the very back of the tent, behind these ladies is the last Tropicana Cookies. This plant is floppy and bendy to say the least. That being said, it's propped up by one of the Banana Purple Punch's on the right with the second one in the right front. I placed Sour Diesel A and B in the back in front of the Tropicana Cookies. It's taller so there's less light getting to these two. In turn I put Sour Diesel C and D up front where there is more access to light. Let's hope they catch up. If not, then maybe they are different phenomes afterall. Sour Diesel A looks great! Completely caught up with B now. Beautiful color and strong stem. Her branches aren't as long as B, but they are definitely getting there. I think I'll start training in the next day or two. Sour Diesel B is amazing! Her nodes are perfect, her branches are spreading out to the edge of the container now and she is just begging to be trained. However, her stem is really thick and strong. So I have to wait for her to take off which should be any day. Then there is the pre-flower stretch. I'll be training just before that and a little bit during, just to position the branches accordingly. Sour Diesel C is shorter than A and B. About half the size to be honest. Right internodal spacing and I'm pretty sure lack of light quality kept them like this. I don't think it was too much light. That would t make any sense with a 100 watt light nearly 36 inches away. No chance. Anyway, so that's what I think happened. Sour Diesel D is still small as ever, but is now the same size as C, so that's a thing. As I said before, I put her up front with C to get a bit more light. Hopefully she catches up with A and B. If not, it's not really a big deal. All I have to do is place them on one side of the tent with risers and the taller two on the other side. I favor the taller on the left and shorter on the right. It's just the way the tent door opens and placement. I'll check the DLI today at some point today. It should be around 20 to 25 mol/m²/d which is spot on with the stage they are in. Also a much better light, so much better light quality and more efficient intensity. The environment in the main tent is a nightmare for the flowering plants, but for these 4 it's paradise. The Temp is hovering around 76° and the humidity is 62%. There's tons of airflow, so I'm not all that worried about the flowering plants for now. They get well taken care of. Of course I'm trying to drop the humidity down a lot for the flowering plants, but the weather here won't let me. It's been ridiculously humid out for the last week. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.4° RH: 61.4% VPD: 1.17 kPa Quick Update: I had to increase the light power from 60% to 80%. I can't really move the light down yet, so I just I increased the power. Once all the other plants are out of the tent, I'll adjust accordingly I also took the light distance measurement and we are at a whopping 40.5" away. No matter, the DLI is what matters, and it's correct. May 18, 2024 No watering today. Just some leaf tucking and rearranging. Sour Diesel A looks great! She is the same size as B. Maybe a tiny bit taller now, but her branches aren't all that long yet. I could only tuck 3 leaves on this one. Still looks good and grew nearly 2" last night. Super vigorous. Sour Diesel B is the star of this show so far. Her branches are all long enough for full leaf tucking. I don't know how I plan on training her up. Maybe I'll bend the top, maybe I'll leave it alone and tie down the side branches. We shall see how things go. Sour Diesel C is smaller with shorter branches and still tight nodes. She's definitely not going to catch up to A and B. Not with how vigorous they are growing. Unless they stop randomly. Anyway, C looks good. She has perfectly healthy leaves and big ones at that. I managed to tuck 2 leaves, but that was it. Sour Diesel D is the same size as C. Same branch length. And no tucking available. She does look healthy. Super healthy, just growing differently. The light is perfectly spot on. I won't be changing it at all until all the other plants are out of the tent. Then I'll set the light to 24" from the canopy and power level down to 60% for a week. Maybe 70%, but I doubt it. We shall see The environment is perfect for these 4 plants. Not exactly perfect for the flowering plants. Actually, it's super horrible for the flowering plants. The temp is around 77° and the humidity is around 65%. Perfect for these ladies. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 64.3% VPD: 1.05 kPa

Very good

happy new year .. wishing you a year full of wealth, health and a kind of happiness and joyful moments that truly matters! happy new year!!

Day 1 - 03/31/2022 Hello, World! 34th Street AK-47 Autoflower from OCS.ca germinated in 1 day after placing seeds in the freezer over night before planting. This was my 3rd attempt and the freezing method seemed to have done the trick! Sprouted on day 4. I placed the seed in the Aerogarden sponge pod and didn’t press it down too much. When the tap root started, it had nothing to grip onto, so I solved this by cutting a small portion of another sponge and placed it above the seed securing it in place with a loose “lid” on top so the sprout could easily push through. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 3 - 04/02/2022 Hygrometer is in. Was drier than a popcorns fart in the closet so I got the humidifier going and it’s looking good. Went from 22% to 38% humidity in ~1 hour. pH, water temp and EC/PPM all seemed high so I added ~0.5 mL of pH Down that brought the levels to 5.4 (too low). I added ~2 cups of Brita filtered water (water was getting low anyway) before I went to bed from the fridge that helped raise the pH, lower the EC/PPM, and the temp by a few degrees as well. In an attempt to cool the water down a bit over night, I took the “cap” off of the Aerogarden reservoir to let the water ‘breath’ while the light was off between 2 am and 6 am – that did not work... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 4 - 04/03/2022 Water temp remains high at around 28 c. I replaced about 1/3 of the tank with new water and added ~1ml of Miracle Grow. Didn't effect the water temp at all. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 6 - 04/05/2022 Levels appear the same. Tomorrow I’ll change the water out and start adding FloraMicro, FloraGrow and FloraBloom with some CaliMagic. Might pick up some Root inoculate of sorts or at least some preventative root rot formula – better safe than sorry. I’ll have to start seriously taking care of the water temp as well. Having it always around the 30 degree mark is not good. On a side note, I inadvertently found a great way to bump up humidity and air temp quickly: add boiling/hot water to the humidifier. My humidifier ran out of water over night while I was asleep. At 6:30 am I was lucky enough to notice since the humidifier rattles when empty. Humidity was down to 38% at that point. I went back to bed, woke up at 8:30 and it was down to 28%. As luck would have it, there was some left over boiling water on the stove in a kettle and I needed something easy to pour with. I checked back 30 minutes later and the air humidity/temp was up to 60% / 30 C respectively. Perfect conditions for our little lady to get big and strong. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 7 - 04/06/2022 First water exchange went smoothly. This was also the first time I added nutrients other than the NutriGrow formula. I mixed everything together in 16 cups of water. NOTE TO SELF: 16 cups is not enough for 1.1 gallons! I had to add another 5 cups of water/nutrients to get the water volume right. I added a bit of NutriGrow only in the last 5 cups with ~1mL of pH down (didn’t measure; kept applying in small doses until pH was around 6). Excited to see how she reacts to her tasty new treats! 😀 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
