12/21: Raised the lights as high as they can go... 12/22: Fed today and rearranged the garden. Did some supercropping, and lassoed the GG4 (bitch is wild i tell ya) 12/26: Fed today and did some more supercropping...

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 49 VPD is okay now - temps at 75F RH also now at 65% with ILVent at 50% = VPD of 1.04 - ppfd also same as yesterday mostly 480 to 490 around the ring with 510 and 520 in the center Took ph readings as well - 3 readings 6.43, 6.48, and 6.37 to avg 6.426 Which is good because she's starting to show signs of stress after the topping and defoliation from a couple days ago. The leaves are starting to curl at the tips and the bronze color stripping is happening again - however this time seems to be a slower progression so Im hoping that having the correct ph this time will help while she's re-routing her resources. I 'did notice also that the growth tips seem to be growing at a slower rate than before - I think she's at her limit in colas and the roots are having to find more space to spread, may even be too big for the 5 gallon pot. I have no plans to change her out just yet, but will monitor. Soil is drier today - so I will be watering tomorrow with de-chlorinated water at 6.4ph Day 50 VPD was good at 74/64 with the tent open while I feed that I left it open for a bit and took time in feeding and cleaning - after all that still good at 74F/61%RH/50%ILV ppfd was checked after water and setting back - same as yesterday as most of the newest growth is still coming from the new colas - most seem to be adjusting 1 at a time in each split but both are showing growth now on all cuts. Started feed by making new ph buffer solutions, calibrating/testing both meters. The have about a .15 variance between the two. Checked weight and made 1.5 gallons of feed. started at 228ppm added 450ppm veg and 150ppm bloom for a total of 833ppm feed/epsom salt - splashed h2o2 and ph'd to about 6.4- I fed via watering can and spray and fed the whole amount slowly since I was feeding until bottom drip and she took it all before starting to bottom drip. Afterwords I let her drain (about a quart came out) and checked ppm from runoff at 2500 (telling me she's okay but isnt eating as much as before her topping yet) ph is a mystery - I show 3 readings from top level of 6.62, 6.57, and 6.57 for an avg 6.586 but 2 separate readings from 2 meters (4 readings total) on the bottom runoff showed 5.3 and 5.6 then confirmed later. I expected a variance since the wood ash probably stuck to the top side of the soil - but I didnt expect that much of a difference. I will monitor but honestly dont know what I should do, if anything other than watch. made a video of the fan movements and runoff drip Day 51 What I am calling "stress burn" is progressing as expected. I am monitoring the ph from the top as I did before, but again, not much I can do other than over water, so I'll just watch for now and compare rate of spread until she fixes her resource pathways. It seemed to take about a week to clear up after the ash treatment last time, so I am on day 3 of 7 for now with no treatment. Looking for a spurt of new growth to show and then I'll know she's better. Adjusted the lights to accommodate a week 6 level of 500 to 600 ppfd - that means I can raise the lights to the top of the tent and increase power. So now set at 3 tick up and 37 inches from the soil or 26" from the plant top. Now her ppfd reads about 540 on both of the center colas and 500 to 510 on the surrounding ring. Adjusting lights meant I had to adjust the fans up to medium power and re-directed them to blow at the edges of the pot; made a video. VPD is steady, but still warmer than typical (only by a couple degrees nothing too much) 76F/61%RH/50%ILV for 1.15 kpa on room VPD Day 52 VPD is higher now that I have the lights to the top of my tent and the fans on the lights blowing down at the pot. I moved the IL Vent to the top sucking out with the motor and vent outside the tent now. I also opened two lower air holes with my heater set for fan on the opposite side of the tent than the vent. Currently, I am at a max of 1.2 room VPD and ranging down to 1.0 so I'll take it until it does something else. 74F/65% RH/75%ILV - I will monitor to ensure it's stable. ppfd is same as yesterday as there's little growth still. Spots are still progressing on the oldest leaves at the same rate as before - however the newest leaves are not showing signs yet, so I will continue to monitor. Day 53 ppfd was a little changed today, showing that there's growth coming back now. lowest on outer ring was 500 with most at 520 and 530 highest, center colas were tested at 540 and 560ppfd. VPD was stable as I watched it most of the day since I made changes yesterday. Temps were 74 to 76 and RH was 61% to 68%. ILV was set to 33% with the bottom heater on fan to draw in air. lockout continues on the oldest fan leaves at the last top nodes. New growth is already marked in a couple of spots. I have about 6 gallons of tap water burning off chlorine now and will use about 2 gallons to flush at 8ph. I plan to dunk this weekend with feed so this will allow time to dry out and hopefully reset the ph and lower my ppm readings at the lower part of the pot before then. Day 54 Took Control pics measured VPD and ppfd Lights are at the top of the tent and second tick from highest power level. Lights to soil is 37 inches and lights to plant is 12 inches shorter so 25 inches leaves to light. currently ranging 530 to 550 around the ring and 575/580 ppfd at center (after feed and replaced). Moving the lights (day 51) made the tent hotter so I changed my ILVent to suck out at the top and fresh air in at the bottom - I have been fighting to keep temps under 78 managed to hit 74 to 75 with the heater being set just to fan for the bottom air vents- I did also raise humidity to a setting of 65% a day before moving the lights, so Im hitting 61 to 68% between power cycles on the humidifier. Overall Tent VPD is 1.0 to 1.2 as max. Took controls for feed. Weight 16lbs 11oz. tested and calibrated 2 meters and took 4 ph readings of 6.55, 6.77, 6.53, 6.85 to avg 6.675. from top of soil (last runoff measured 5.6 and 5.3 on two meters) prepared 2 gallons of feed at 500 ppm over tap. (burned chlorine off overnight) starting ppm was 217 - added 75/25 veg/bloom ratio. ph balanced to 7.8 and 7.63 on separate meters (rinsed and retested to be sure got 7.79 and 7.63 again) I used 4 knitting needles in the soil about 3 inches from the plant center. Poured feed water over the needles until it pooled slightly on top of the soil, I then pulled the needle out a little to allow the water to drain into the holes better. I did this in 8 different spots. As soon as she started dripping water from the bottom I poured a little on the leaves and then moved the plant to another drip pan to finish pouring the rest over the top of the soil without dripping any over the sides. Took videos of the drip and waited 10 min before putting her on another clean drip pan and back in the tent. Runoff from second drip pan was measured twice at 5.8ph and 2410 ppm - and first pan 5.85 and 2670ppm (expected higher ppm since I moved perlite on the bottom with the needles) Defoliated the oldest leaves before lights out. Day 55 She mostly looks like she appreciated the clippings and ph balance from yesterday - slower progression of the lockout issue and largest new growth since topping day. So speaking of new growth, I plan to use LST in the next few days to set these colas in what will hopefully be their last bind around the ring. VPD is steady at 75F to 77F and RH is between 63 and 68%. My ILV have been set to 33% and the lower fan blowing rather than heat. top soil ph was measured with 3 readings, on a tested and calibrated meter. 6.47, 6.7, 7.12 to avg 6.763 (kinda wild in those readings so I double checked them all twice and got the same in each hole)

Week 9 and 62 days from germination. They are stacking up in the budsites and im have max of nutrients now. Added picks and video. Girl Nr 1 is 62 cm tall and Nr2 is 41 cm. The smell is sweet, lemon, berry, nettels, coffey and mint. They have som nuteburn in the tips and the second one i burnt the top on the hps lamp when i was replacing it in the room. They drink about 3 liters every day and are frosty and sticky.

Well the pas week has been a lot! We had some dehydration issues, did some defolitation, and additional LST to prep for flower. Starting today, this plant has been kicked into the flower tent and will be starting its journey! Before we went to flower, I gave this guy 1tbsp of Dr. Earth tomato blend. Over the next week or so we'll be switching to Dr. Earth flower girl. Cheers til next time! -Dj Sunstone

Experiencing what seems to be my first nutrient lock out. Bought a soil ph tester from homdepo its reading 7.0 so that what bring me to that conclusion on top of the slower growing and the slight yellowing around the leaves. I was being cheap and using the liquid ph tester that comes with the ph up and down and im regretting now seeing my plants in not the best condition. Im ordering a better ph pen today i used the vivosun one the i currently have got the water to 5.8 checked the run off and its at 6.2 hopefully that helps. Saturday im going to top dress and water at 5.8 aging and im thinking that should put me back on track Any advice i could definitely use some tips and pointers or advice

Flower

Day 30 of flower; I raised the pot 14 cm to get her closer to the light. The Hulkberry next to her measures 126 cm. SHe's full of buds and she's very sticky. Her smell is amazing!!

This girl has been growing very nice remove all the branches that were below 14 inches from the base of the pot to promote growth over the top only .this girl has continued to stretch and it's starting to smell like a typical of her kind hoping to see great things out of this girl that has developed a lot of sight branches. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

🎥 My Week 3 Grow Log: Starting the Mainlining Process Introduction & Timing Whats Going On Growmies !!! welcome back to the 2025 Winter Grow! This week marks a really exciting milestone because the Special Kush 1 is finally ready for its first major structural training. We’re currently in Week 3 of the vegetative stage, and the plant has gotten big and healthy enough to handle some High-Stress Training (HST). The Main Goal: Mainlining My focus this session was to initiate mainlining. For those who don't know, this is the technique I use to create a perfectly balanced, symmetrical canopy, which should lead to much bigger and more uniform colas later on. This is where we lay the foundation for maximizing our final yield. The Steps I Took (Topping) Selection: I examined the plant and chose the perfect spot for the cut. I decided on the third node (counting from the bottom) as the anchor point for the manifold. The Cut (Topping): I carefully took my sterilized shears and topped the plant, removing the entire top growth tip (the apical meristem). This was done right above the selected third node. Redirection: Removing that main growth tip gets rid of apical dominance. Now, all of the plant’s energy will be diverted equally into the two main side branches growing out of that third node. These two branches are what will form the central "Y" shape of the manifold. The Clean-Up (Pruning) Lower Growth Removal: To ensure every bit of energy goes to those two future main colas, I systematically removed all of the lower growth. This included all the secondary growth tips and fan leaves from the first and second nodes. The New Structure: After the trimming, the plant now has a clean, bare stem leading up to the two chosen branches at the third node. This is the official "beginning of the mainlining" process. Next Steps The plant will now focus on recovering and growing those two new main branches. In the next few days, I'll probably be tying those two branches down gently to keep them level and open up the center (that's the Low-Stress Training part of mainlining). I'm really happy with how the first cut went. Stay tuned for the next part where we continue to shape this manifold! My Week 3 Grow Log: Precision Nutrient Feeding Part 1: The Nutrient Mix and Strength Check Water Base: I started with my baseline water and made sure it was ready for mixing. The Flora Series Mix (Per Gallon): I carefully measured out the General Hydroponics Flora Series nutrients, following my specific Week 3 veg schedule: FloraMicro: 4.5 ml/gal (This provides essential micro-elements and buffers the solution. FloraGrow: 6.1 ml/gal (This is the primary source of Nitrogen (N) for rapid leaf and stem growth.) FloraBloom: 3.0 ml/gal (A smaller dose is included to ensure all necessary P/K elements are present, even in veg.) CalMag Boost: Crucially, I added 1.9 ml/gal of CalMag. Motivation: This ensures the plant has enough Calcium and Magnesium to prevent deficiencies and handle the increased light intensity, especially as it recovers from stress. Part 2: pH Adjustment and Application The Critical pH Check: I tested the pH of the nutrient solution. Motivation: Nutrients are only available to the roots within a specific pH window. I adjusted the mix using pH down (as is usually the case with the Flora Series) until the solution was dialed in between 6.0-6.5 for optimal uptake. The Watering Technique: I slowly and evenly applied the nutrient solution to the container, making sure the entire medium was saturated. Run-off Check (The Final Step): The most important part of this session was checking the run-off. By testing the run-off EC and pH, I confirmed that the root zone is healthy, that the plant is taking up food, and that old salts aren't building up in the container. Summary of Results Everything looks good! With the perfectly balanced and measured nutrient cocktail, the Special Kush 1 now has the necessary fuel (especially the high nitrogen from the 6.1 ml/gal FloraGrow) to heal quickly and push those two newly topped branches into strong growth, setting us up for success with the manifold!

Day 21. I post one day earlier, but its a huge week for them. Cleared space, install chicken wire fence. Added worm castings, epsom salt, mono potassium, calcium nitrate , Great White, Biosys and hope they will be ok. Next visit in two weeks. Root system was good, couple girls had mini root bound on the bottom, so timing was perfect ! Happy Growing !!!

She is doing great! Stacking her buds and developing nice frosty purple leaves. Yield is going to be incredible. Smelling moderately sweet now. Did a defoliation this week
