I’ve spent the last six days recalibrating my grow room. It feels more like a lab now because I am doing a lot of experiments with different variables and this week I have learned an awful lot. After pushing the environment to its absolute breaking point, I had to balance what my eyes were seeing against raw data to identify exactly where the Traffic Jam was occurring. I got so excited at the ability to control proteins in a plant with light spectrum I did the usual thing I do I drove them to their limits. Maximum photons (and beyond) in an environment where the plant just works like a suction funnel with a VPD of 1.6 kPa. What I forgot is that in my organic setup, the bottleneck is the speed the microbial life can create immobile nutrients. Under any normal conditions, the Biotabs 'just add water' method is more than capable of keeping up, but I had to be that guy and push them with 950 µmol of whites. By the time my Emerson burst came on, I was hitting them with around 1150 µmol, not counting the drain from the UV-B! This, on ambient, is just too much to ask; the plants used up all the calcium available, and my microbial life was unable to keep up. This is good to know, as if I wish to grow at this rate later, I will know what I need to add to facilitate that. I'm still blown away by spectral steering and the way proteins in a plant cell work. Grows are not normally still this fun at this stage. ________________________________________ 1. The "950 µmol" Mistake & Conclusion • The Error: I was running the main rig at 950 µmol, but with 4 strips of DRFR engaged, I was hitting a total ePAR of 1150 µmol. • The Failure: This intensity, paired with an aggressive 1.6 kPa VPD, outran the plant's metabolic capacity under ambient conditions. • The Result: 'Pistil Frizzle' on the crown of the Triple Cheese—the delicate stigmas literally toasted under the radiant load. 2. The Calcium Benchmark & The "Traffic Jam" • The Action: I noticed rusty, necrotic spots scattered across the leaf surfaces. • The Conclusion: The plants weren't 'low' on Calcium; the Biotabs microbial factory couldn't mine it fast enough to keep up with the 1150 µmol demand. I have officially flagged an image as my 'Calcium Benchmark' to track this in future runs. 3. The attempt to fix • The Adjustment: I have lowered the light ceiling to 800 µmol (targeting a DLI of 31–36) and stabilized VPD between 1.2 and 1.3 kPa. • The Rationale: This matches the 'spending' of the plant to the 'income' of my organic microbes, allowing the nutrient highway to move smoothly without crashing at the leaf tips. 4. Emergency Recovery: Bactrex & Bio PK • The Action: To clear the jam, I introduced a targeted top-feed of Bactrex and Bio PK to the Cheese. • The Goal: Boosting the microbial workforce and providing a direct PK source to support the Week 5 bulk while the Calcium delivery recovers. 5. Rhizosphere & Water Management • New decontamination for my 10L res refills: 10 drops of ExoThrive Neutralise, 5 minutes of violent blending, and an 8-hour air stone session • The Goal: To strip all residual chlorine and chloramines from my London tap water to protect my Bactrex and Mycotrex factory workers. • Future Intent: Researching the Water2 Pod 2.0 with a Fluoride filter to automate this and ensure consistent, medical-grade hydration. 6. Pot Size & Substrate Logic • The Constraint: Bigger pots are not happening • The Solution: To compensate for the smaller volume, I will increase Bactrex frequency and explore high concentrations of Gypsum (20g per 10L) in future mixes to increase mineral density without changing the footprint. Summary: I pushed for maximum push and hit a wall. By respecting the biological limits of a just add water system, I’m moving toward Environmental Harmony where every photon is used rather than wasted as a stressor. Been a great week for learning. Thanks for passing. Grow well ..

3/6/2020 day 81(day 2) Plants have been given a healthy dose of calmag. Also have been given nutrients. They arnt ready to be harvested yet. But should be soon in the next 11 days. I think 92 days is a lot for an auto 6/6/2020 such a dumbass. I didnt feed any nutrients. I fed my plants fucking myco! I was mixing myco into my reservoir. My myco can and my nutrient can both look the same. I accidentally replaced the wrong lid and fed myco to my plants for so long. Ffs. What other ways can I fuck up my grow?

Estamos en la tercera semana de crecimiento vegetativo. Nuestras plantas ya tienen unos 15 centímetros aproximadamente, y han superado la fase crítica. Recordamos que hasta ahora solo estamos regando con agua, aún no hemos incorporado los fertilizantes. Seguimos manteniendo la humedad relativa bastante alta, y la temperatura entre 22 y 24ºC. Pero aumentamos la potencia al 50% de ambas luminarias.

AVT is coming along nicely. Especially considering the abuse I put her through a few weeks ago. Buds are developing nicely and starting to get frosty 😃. I kind of dig the bonsai'ish shape she has near the top due to my over HST'ing. There will be no more abuse to this girl, only some defoliation as needed. AVT is front-left in the group pics.

1/11 - debating Scrog or no Scrog. I think it will be more trouble than just training with the rubber wire 1/12 - can't keep my hands off, but exercised moderation. I restrained 2 of the shoots off of the biggest top, im letting the others grow out so I can get a better grip. The stems are getting so fat!! 1/14 - feeding today 2L distilled water 1060ppm 5.9pH 72.5*F GROW 3g Kelp 0.25g Cal/Mag 0.54g ominA 0.55g Microbes Grow Stage 2g Enzymes 0.14g 1/15 - She's starting be to a really big bush! I need her to grow out a bit so I can let her grow up and then move to flower. Update: worked on spreading out all of the tops to the edges of the pot. She is perfect! 1/16 - shss back to full bush after l trained her last night. Forming up exactly the way I was hoping. She will be massive short stack 1/17 - did a decent defoliation of some of the larger fan leaves blocking light and air opening up the smaller tops. I also bound the main tops further out to the edges of the pot. She is definitely going to be massive!! feeding today 2L distilled water 1090ppm 6.0pH 69*F GROW 3.15g Kelp 0.21g Cal/Mag 0.56g ominA 0.55g Microbes Grow Stage 2.02g Enzymes 0.13g Update: she already recovered most of the canopy 4 hours after the dedoliation!

Hello Growmies, Week 12 with our Epic Buzz is showing us just how remarkable this plant truly is. The development has been nothing short of amazing, and there's an electric sense of anticipation for what's to come, not only with this beauty but also with the future Epic Buzz cultivars. The plant has fully embraced its flowering stage, with the buds stretching along the colas and starting to display a frosty coat of trichomes. These sticky crystals are not just limited to the buds; some of the larger fan leaves are getting their share of the sparkle too. The buds themselves are clustering so tightly around the colas that they're beginning to fill in the gaps, giving rise to the hope that they might just form those perfect, gapless spears we all aim for. Observing the plant, we see a thriving, verdant structure; a tapestry of green that stands tall and proud under the glow of the grow lights. The canopy is dense, the stems are sturdy, and the overall health of the plant is exemplified by the vibrancy of its leaves and the rapid development of its buds. The setup, with its careful arrangement of lights and ventilation, creates an ideal micro-environment for growth—a harmonious space where Epic Buzz can express its genetic potential to the fullest. Each picture is a snapshot of a different angle, revealing the uniformity of the growth and the care that's been put into maintaining such a healthy grow. The close-ups of the buds show the trichomes starting to build up, hinting at the potency and flavor that await. It’s clear that the Epic Buzz is on a stellar path, and with the diligent care, it’s receiving—regular feedings, reservoir top-ups to prevent any more lockouts, and the optimal light schedule—it's all set to continue on this trajectory. Stay Lifted, Salokin

This week has been amazing! Everyone is thriving and we are getting ready for flowering! The smell is increasing, and over the last 4 day the have shot up almost another foot! I've also found out that splitting up my feedings into 3 smaller feedings for the week works best!

Well this is actually where i started. I had already germinated the Green Tea (Forbidden Fruit x Gelato) seed. Now i think i am caught up. I will try to post as many videos as possible. I suck at typing and with the dictation it takes longer to fix the f_ck ups than to just type what I wanted. I can just explain what I'm doing or what I've done for the week. This is my first ever grow journal so it may be all over the place....we will see..... I have multiple grows happening at the same time....sometimes I get carried away...lol....and might have a few more than I expected to have. I will do my best to keep things up to date and current. I definitely want to start running right out of the gate and make a pretty decent journal.

This strain was an easy girl to grow. Very vigorous and towered over her double grape sister. She didn't develop the most dense nugs but I will attribute that to my lame light setup during this grow. She grew under 2 mars 300s and 1 hlg65 4000k in between. I've rolled 1 joint that got me pretty baked. I would judge this particular pheno as sativa leaning. I also vaped a bowl through the mighty and she still has a very green taste because She hasn't been curing very long. She developed a beautiful color when she ripened at the end of flower and yielded 54.8 dry grams of beautiful buds. I had probably another 40 or 50 grams of trim from this lady also. Next time I grow this strain, I will be dropping her in a much bigger pot. Harvested when trichomes were mostly foggy with maybe 5% amber. The biggest auto I have grown yet.

They had way too much mass so lollipopped about another 25% off the bottom. They are stretched way up into the lights so I had to modify the hangers to put the lights as high as possible. Did another major leaf strip just around day 18. Now at day 21 The buds are starting to form and looking okay. Next couple of weeks will tell if they will be close to successful or not. It’s the end of June and humidity stays around 70%. Not ideal conditions
