Happy 4/20 all... Still on auto pilot. I've made very few changes this week. Process/Environment changes: -turned one of my ts1000s down after chopping my cheese auto.. it wasn't needed as much and it helped cool down my tent around 2 degrees Celsius. - humidity is set between 45- 55 percent. (45 lights off, 55 lights on) - rotating each plant in the tent so they they can get even light coverage I'm going to do a trichome check on Saturday. They are both pretty much close to being finished at 62 days post germination. Both have heavy trichome production Both smell very sweet

๐Ÿ‘‘ Godfather OG โ€“ Pheno A Week 10 | The Queen Has No Patience for Empty Plates ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ And, well... I have to start this week's report with an apology. I did it again. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Somehow, once again, the individual photographs of our Queen have disappeared into the mysterious photographic universe. I have absolutely no idea what I did. I'm starting to suspect that Godfather OG Pheno A has personally decided that she doesn't need individual portraits anymore. She's basically saying: "You already know who I am. Look at the whole room." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ And fortunately, we do have photographs of the entire room. She's right there. Growing. Developing. Doing her thing. And honestly? She's looking beautiful. So although I don't have the individual photo collection I wanted for this week's update, I certainly haven't lost sight of her. She's still one of the girls that immediately gets my attention when I walk into the 8ร—8. She's still demanding. She's still hungry. She's still a little angry with me from time to time. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And she's still growing absolutely amazingly. So let's give this Queen the spotlight she deserves anyway. Because photographs or not... you can't really hide the Queen. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐ŸŒฑ Week 10 โ€“ Still Growing Her Own Way Godfather OG Pheno A continues to be one of those plants that makes me stop and look. She's tall. She's strong. She's demanding. And she has absolutely no interest in behaving like everybody else in the room. That's one of the things I've enjoyed most about watching her throughout this adventure. She's never really tried to make things easy for me. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ But at the same time... she keeps rewarding the attention. She's growing. She's developing. She's building flowers. She's consuming everything the environment gives her. And she's continuing to show us that very distinctive personality that we've been documenting from the beginning. The Queen may be demanding... but she's productive. And that's a pretty good combination. ๐Ÿ‘‘ Still Demanding โ€“ Still Hungry Let's talk about the elephant in the room. This girl eats. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ She's one of those phenotypes where I look at what we're providing and think: "Okay... that's gone already?" She's hungry. She's using the resources available to her. She's growing strongly. And she continues to give me the impression that, if given the opportunity, she'd happily sit down at the table and finish everybody else's dinner too. ๐Ÿ˜‚ This is one of the things that makes her interesting in a room containing so many different genetics. We're not running twelve completely different feeding programmes. We're giving the room a consistent foundation and observing how each plant responds. And Godfather OG Pheno A is making her response very clear: "I can use more." That's useful information. I'm watching her closely, because there's a difference between a plant that is genuinely demanding and one that is simply showing a slightly different expression. With this girl, the appetite has been remarkably consistent. And yet... she keeps growing beautifully. So the Queen remains on the watch list. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘‘ ๐ŸŒฟ The Anger Is Part of the Personality ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's still a little angry. I'm not even going to argue with her anymore. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Some plants politely ask. Some plants quietly suggest. Godfather OG Pheno A seems to send official royal correspondence. "I require more." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“œ But underneath the drama, what matters is that she's continuing to develop extremely well. She's not sitting there stalled. She's not giving up. She's not stopping. She's actively building. And that's why I continue to find her so fascinating. She can challenge me while simultaneously showing me that she's perfectly capable of turning that environment into growth. That's a phenotype worth paying attention to. ๐ŸŒธ The Flowers Keep Moving Forward And even without her individual close-up photographs this week, the wider room images still give us something important. She's flowering beautifully. The structures continue developing. The flowers are becoming more established. And the plant is moving deeper into the stage where all that earlier structural growth starts paying off. This is where I really enjoy looking back through the diary. Because the plant we saw earlier in the run isn't the same plant we're looking at now. The framework is already there. The branches are established. The flowering sites have developed. And now we're watching those sites become increasingly meaningful flowers. She's doing exactly what I want to see from her. Not necessarily behaving perfectly... but developing beautifully. And honestly? I'll take that every time. ๐Ÿ’ก The Queen Is Catching Photons And once again, we have to talk about photons. Because this week, more than ever, I find myself thinking about the relationship between this girl's appetite and the amount of light she's receiving. Every second that the lights are running, photons are moving through the canopy. We can't see them. But the plant can use them. Leaves intercept that light. Photosynthetic machinery converts that captured energy into chemical energy. And that energy supports the enormous collection of processes happening inside the plant. Growth. Maintenance. Water movement. Development. Flower formation. Everything is connected. And Godfather OG Pheno A appears to be making a serious effort to capture as many of those photons as possible. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฟ She's got a large structure. She's got plenty of foliage. She's got flowers distributed through that structure. And she's hungry for resources. So when I look at her, I don't just see a tall flowering plant. I see a three-dimensional photon-capturing machine. And she's working. โ˜€๏ธ More Than Just Light From Above The lighting philosophy in this room is also about more than simply throwing photons at the top of the canopy. The main Black Series LEDs provide the primary illumination. Then we have additional lighting helping reach areas deeper inside the plants and lower down in the canopy. That matters because a plant like Godfather OG Pheno A isn't a perfectly flat surface. She's tall. She's layered. She's got branches occupying different heights. She's got flowers positioned at different angles. So the photons entering the room encounter a complex three-dimensional structure. Some are intercepted immediately. Others travel deeper. Some reach lower areas. Some are absorbed by leaves. Some pass through gaps. And that's part of what makes the lighting environment so interesting in this project. We're not just lighting a canopy. We're illuminating a jungle. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ก ๐Ÿ’ก Photons + Plant Architecture This is also where genetics become fascinating. Two plants can receive essentially the same lighting environment... and use it completely differently. A compact phenotype creates one type of canopy. A tall phenotype creates another. An open plant allows photons to travel differently from a dense one. And Godfather OG Pheno A has built herself a very particular architecture. She's tall. She's substantial. She's got plenty happening throughout the vertical space. And she's clearly making use of it. That's why I don't want to look at the lighting only as a number. I want to look at the relationship between: ๐Ÿ’ก Light ๐ŸŒฟ Architecture ๐Ÿƒ Leaf area ๐ŸŒธ Flower distribution ๐Ÿ’จ Air movement ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Environment โš—๏ธ Nutrition All of these things interact. And this Queen is giving us a particularly interesting example of what happens when a hungry phenotype gets access to a stable environment and plenty of photons. ๐ŸŒธ She's Turning Light Into Something Beautiful And that's ultimately what we're watching. The photons themselves aren't the interesting part. The interesting part is what the plant does with them. We see the result in the leaves. We see it in the growth. We see it in the developing flowers. We see it in the overall structure. The invisible becomes visible. And when I walk into the room and see Godfather OG Pheno A continuing to develop, that's what I think about. All that light. All that captured energy. All those resources. Being turned into a living, flowering plant. That's pretty damn cool. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ ๐ŸŒฟ Still the Queen of Her Own Space She's also maintaining that unmistakable presence she's had throughout the grow. At around 169 cm, she's one of the taller girls in the room. And she uses that height. She doesn't just occupy vertical space. She fills it. The structure gives her plenty of places to develop flowers, while her foliage continues supporting the plant. She's not trying to be compact. She's not trying to imitate another phenotype. She's simply being Godfather OG Pheno A. And that's exactly what I want from this experiment. I don't want twelve identical plants. I want twelve stories. And this Queen has certainly given us one. ๐Ÿ’จ Keeping the Environment Working With Her As the flowers continue developing, maintaining the relationship between the canopy and the environment becomes increasingly important. A large plant creates its own little weather system inside the canopy. Leaves transpire. Air moves. Humidity changes locally. Temperature interacts with the surrounding environment. And all of those factors matter more as flowering structures become larger. So the objective remains the same: keep the room stable and allow the plant to work. Good air movement. Consistent environmental conditions. Appropriate light. Stable root-zone conditions. And observation. We're not trying to micromanage every leaf. We're trying to maintain a system where the plant can do what it has clearly decided to do. Grow. Flower. Eat. And apparently complain. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ โš—๏ธ Feeding โ€“ The Queen Still Wants Seconds The shared nutrition strategy remains: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.2 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjustment as required Current room values remain around: pH ~6.0 EC ~2.0 mS/cm And once again, Godfather OG Pheno A is making it clear that she's one of the hungrier phenotypes in the room. I'm not going to turn that observation into an automatic recipe change. The plant gets watched as a whole. Her growth. Her flowers. Her foliage. Her overall progression. Her response over time. But yes... if plants could talk, I have a feeling this one would be asking for a larger menu. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ The Room Remains Her Foundation The environment continues to sit around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~29.9ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~60% โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.0 โšก EC: ~2.0 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Solution temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~639 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ง Watering: ~1.4 L/plant/24h And once again, the numbers are only part of the story. The real story is the response. And her response is: I'm growing. That's what I want to hear. ๐Ÿ“ธ Yes... I Lost Her Photos Again. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Okay. Let's address this properly. I'm sorry. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Somehow, the individual photographs of Godfather OG Pheno A from last week and this week seem to have ended up together, somewhere, in some folder that apparently exists in another dimension. I have photographs of the other girls. Plenty of them. The whole room is documented. She's visible in those wider photographs. But her dedicated individual photographs? Gone. Again. I genuinely have no idea how I managed this twice. So to everybody following her diary: my true apologies. ๐Ÿ’š I know the individual photographs are an important part of these weekly updates, especially when we're documenting a phenotype separately. And I promise: Next week, the Queen gets her portrait session. No excuses. No mysterious folders. No photographic disappearances. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ I'm putting her back on the priority list. ๐ŸŒฟ But Look at Her in the Jungle The good news is that the wider room photographs still show something important. She's there. She's growing. She's developing. And she's looking beautiful. Sometimes seeing the plant within the whole ecosystem actually tells us something that a close-up can't. You see her relationship with the surrounding plants. You see the scale. You see the canopy. You see where she sits inside the room. And you can appreciate how much structure she's built. So while I'm definitely disappointed that I don't have her individual photographs... I'm not disappointed with the plant. Not even remotely. She's doing fantastic. ๐Ÿ”ฌ Another Week of Phenotype Hunting This is another week where Godfather OG Pheno A reminds me why this project exists. We're not trying to make every plant behave identically. We're watching how they respond to a shared foundation. And this girl has given us a very clear identity. She's: ๐Ÿ‘‘ Tall ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Hungry ๐ŸŒฟ Vigorous ๐ŸŒธ Productive ๐Ÿ’ก Light-hungry ๐Ÿ˜‚ Demanding ๐Ÿ”ฅ Beautiful And somehow... she continues to make me smile every time I check on her. Even when she's angry. Especially when she's angry. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Because the challenge is part of the personality. ๐Ÿ”ฎ Where Does the Queen Go From Here? That's the question now. She's already established herself. She's already shown us her appetite. She's already shown us her structure. She's already shown us that she's capable of developing beautiful flowers. Now I want to see what happens as those flowers continue to mature. How much more will they develop? How will her aroma progress? How will her resin expression develop? How will the overall plant finish? And perhaps most importantly... how much more food is this woman going to ask for? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ I honestly don't know. And I'm perfectly happy with that. We'll watch. We'll document. We'll adapt when necessary. And we'll let her tell us. ๐Ÿ’ญ Final Thoughts โ€“ The Queen Doesn't Need a Portrait to Rule So... Week 10. No individual photographs. Again. I'm sorry. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š But the Queen is still here. She's still standing tall. She's still demanding. She's still hungry. She's still capturing photons. She's still developing flowers. And she's still looking absolutely beautiful. The wider photographs show her within the jungle. The environment is stable. The lighting is doing its job. The photons keep flying. And this girl keeps catching as many as she possibly can. She's eating everything she can. She's growing everything she can. She's taking the environment we've given her and turning it into her own expression. And honestly? I couldn't ask for a more interesting phenotype to follow. She doesn't make things boring. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ So this week, even without the individual portraits... the spotlight remains firmly on her. Because she deserves it. And next week? I promise. Portraits. The Queen is getting her photographs back. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ™ Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what these different phenotypes can become. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for powering this jungle and keeping those photons flying. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the inner and lower areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what the girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. This adventure continues to be one of the most enjoyable learning experiences I've had. Twelve different genetic stories. One shared environment. One jungle. And so many personalities. And Godfather OG Pheno A? She's still one of the loudest characters in the room. She may be angry. She may be demanding. She may eat everything in sight. She may have fired her photographer two weeks in a row. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ But she's also growing beautifully. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's catching photons. She's using the environment. And she's becoming more and more herself every week. So let's give the Queen her spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep those photons flying. And let's see where this hungry, demanding, beautiful girl takes us next. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ And I promise... next week, the Queen gets her damn photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘

Hello Diary. The second week of flowering is behind us. I did a little defoliation this week, I honestly didnโ€™t dare remove more leaves and branches, I didnโ€™t know how they would react to it. Maybe I needed more? The temperature is still high, sometimes rising to 29, 30 degrees, but mostly around 28. Humidity in the air is an average of about 55% but sometimes rises to 60%. The problem is frequent rains this summer which creates high humidity in the air and this affects the humidity in the box as well. The flowers are developing nicely, and they have started to smell as well, but let the pictures speak for themselves. The plants are big for my conditions, the 120 x 60 box size is perhaps too small for three plants (two Hulkberries and one Green Gelato), so the real jungle is in the box. Itโ€™s already a challenge to take them out every week for a photo shoot, but I try to be as careful with them as possible. The Hulkberry has reached a height of 113 cm which is on the verge of acceptability. If it continues another ten cm, Iโ€™ll be in trouble because the lights canโ€™t lift more than this. 18/07/2020. - Day 30. Defoliation. I removed the leaves at the very bottom of the plant to make it easier for me to water them, after that I watered the plants but this time I didnโ€™t put BioBizz, I just watered them with clean water. 21/07/2020. - Day 33. Watering. This time I gave them BioBizz, on schedule for the second week of flowering. I also added CalMag 1.5ml / L, preventively. While they donโ€™t show theyโ€™re missing anything, Iโ€™ll keep adding CalMag. 23/07/2020. - Day 35. Photography and height measurement. Hulkberry Auto # 1 - Day 35. - 97cm Hulkberry Auto # 2 - Day 35. - 113cm Thatโ€™s all for this week, see you soon.

Hello growers and tokers! ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ.๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’จ It's my first harvest on this community and I'm loving it. Everyone always ready to help each other and have great feedback. Tracking my grow on here has made it way easier. There were times that I misplaced notes or forgot what I did or when with a certain strain and all I had to do was come on here and check it. Also motivated me take more pictures and do more logs. All out great site. Don't know how I haven't found it earlier. HIGHLY recommend for all growers. The grow cycle went pretty smooth. She's easy to grow and flowers early so you can't do much training. That being said it's great for beginners. ๐Ÿ‘Œ Had no problems with pests on these, while on the other plants (none cannabis) in the balcony I had issues with spider mites. They grew better than expected given the few hours of direct sunlight they received. Results were good, I was expecting 10-15 grams per plant and ended up with a tad bit more. Drying went a bit fast because there were few buds. I probably could have took it down a few degrees as well.. my fault on that part. They dried in 4 days, they've been curing for 10 days. I normally test them after 15 days but they smelled so good I had to try them. Smell: Lovely earthy, woody, slightly like diesel. Quite pungent for being autos. Taste: Just as it smells.. leaving a nice after taste of diesel. Touch: Very sticky, dense buds. They break down finely in the grinder. Cleaned the grinder before testing and after 4 joints ( 2 grams or so) I already have a good amount of kief collected in the bottom. (Check photo) Might grow this one again just to make some bubble hash. The high is awesome nice uplifting, long lasting energetic but without a heavy euphoric rush. Reminds me of a smooth haze high, although if you smoke a lot even being an experienced smoker, she'll get to you. Only down side is dry mouth, very dry mouth! Have some water on hand because your mouth will transform into a desert. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Great strain to kick start the day. Beginner smokers take it easy with this one. She hits hard! ๐Ÿ‘Š

Just started them all on the Green Buzz Liquid Organics and will run it the rest of the way. I'm not going to add much to the line just some calmag, enzymes maybe terpinator I have to experiment with it a little bit. The first feed went extremely well the plants instantly reacted within an hour after the feed especially the next day. The additives in this line barely raised PPM at all which I liked. It also doesnt stink like other liquid organics I've used. Day 21 of flower, these two are very healthy and have a pretty sturdy foundation. Had to defoliate a little bit I usually try to around week 1 and 3 of the flip. Getting 2nd feed of the GBL line today.

Quite happy with the width of the plant, going to veg for one more week and get some more height before I flip it. Day 42 - No slime on roots for the first time and looking whiter then ever. Also the first week (week 6) I didnt run Rhizotonic, wondering if I had a bad batch or if it naturally makes the roots slimly๐Ÿค” Day 44 - Defoliated some larger fan leaves. Day 45 - Noticed light timer not working, must of only failed a day or so ago at the most. Day 46 - Replaced power board (also dodgy) and timer. Day 47 - Nutrients levels have dropped to 800ppm, will top up tonight. Day 48 - Nutrients levels back to 1200ppm. Topped 3 branches to level the canopy out slightly. Cut 4 smaller branches off underneath that weren't developing and never going to make it close to the top. Day 49 - Topped one more stem. Have changed my mind about flowering, going to veg for one more week.

Day 36 Flower (Day 78) Today is the first day of week six of flower and on this glorious day, I went to war against the fungus gnats. By war, I mean watering each girl with 5 million Nematodes in 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. That should hopefully do the trick and get rid of the annoying little shits. I also experimented a bit more with bud photography and this time I used an LED ring flash. The next step is to shoot during the dark period so I don't get any supplemental light from the grow lights. That was pretty much it today as it is mostly just coasting along at this point in the grow. Day 37 Flower (Day 79) The left girl got pampered with a new light today. Let's see if those extra photons can help her fatten up. She also got a CO2 bag to help her to soak up all those juicy photons. The right girl on the other hand just got her daily watering. Today with 3 liters at pH 6.6. Day 38 Flower (Day 80) All I did today was to give the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water and started brewing some compost tea to feed tomorrow. I used a simple recipe this time with just some worm castings and molasses to increase the microbial activity, as well as a bit of neem meal for some additional nutrition but also to help against pests. The fungus gnats in the tents are almost gone. The nematodes took care of the gnat larvae and the yellow sticky traps have been catching the adults. Day 39 Flower (Day 81) Super chill day. I just gave each girl 3 liters of compost tea at pH 6.2. Done. Day 40 Flower (Day 82) I gave 3 liters of pH 6.5 water to the right girl and supported some of her branches as they're getting heavy with buds. Boom! Day 41 Flower (Day 83) Today I gave each girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. The gnats look to be defeated for now. I can't see any in the tents and the yellow sticky traps are empty. Day 42 Flower (Day 84) The last day of the sixth week of flower and all is going great in the tents. The heatwave we were having went away, which kind of sucks on a personal and social level, but it's great for the girls as the tents were swelteringly hot. The left girl is 103 cm tall and didn't grow anything this week. She has started to fatten up a bit now since I installed a more powerful light, but she is still lagging far behind the right girl. I'm interested to see if she is only lagging behind in time and will fatten up eventually, or if her ordeal has stunted her flowers, resulting in a bunch of larf. Time will tell. Either way, it will be a learning experience. The right girl also didn't grow vertically this week (thankfully!). Her 123 cm is tall enough to be dangerously close to the lights. She is fattening up nicely but still some time to go before she is done. I haven't checked any trichomes yet but should probably start checking next week. Today was another chill late-flower day, I just gave the left girl 2 liters of pH 6.7 water, and the right got 3 liters at pH 6.5.

TUESDAY 8/13: I fed her about a half-gallon with big bloom, kelp me kelp you, bembe, beastie bloomz, and terpinator. Hopefully that will kickstart the bud swelling. WEDNESDAY: We had a little rain last night. It's sunny today, but the temperature is a little cooler and the humidity is very high. I had my glasses on while inspecting her this morning..seeing some signs of spider mites here and there. I'll spray them with trifecta crop control this evening or tomorrow morning depending on if the humidity drops quick enough. THURSDAY: No time for gardening at all today...๐Ÿ˜• FRIDAY: I missed a day only to return and find that she's SICK!!! Damnit!๐Ÿ˜– She and two of my other plants suddenly have what looks like a bad calcium and/or phosphorous deficiency. I sprinkled some bat guano and silicium flash onto her soil and watered it in with about a half gallon of water including calimagic, beastie bloomz, terpinator, and bembe. I also thoroughly sprayed her with boom boom spray. I started brewing another batch of the PK booster compost tea including extra bat guano, earthworm castings, bembe, big bloom, and kelp me kelp you. It should be ready on Sunday...hang in there baby!๐Ÿ™ SATURDAY: I went boating and had no time for gardening.. SUNDAY: I fed her a little bit of compost tea, but I fear her pot is too wet down at the bottom and that this is really a root problem. Gonna transplant her tomorrow for sure. MONDAY: I transplanted her into a 5 gallon pot with a much lighter mix..her roots were subpar to say the least. Kinda stinky...I think maybe too much biochar and not enough perlite in that pot.
