We've reached the end of the penultimate week. This girl's buds are also very dense, resinous, and fragrant. Based on the trichome analysis, she's at a great point. 😎 In the 15 days before harvest, I start watering only with RO water and a pH of 6.2. At the beginning of the last week, and about 3 days before harvest, I'll flush with RO + Cleanse 10mL.

Hello. This is the end of week 4 and the beginning of week 5 of veg. These girls need to be topped. Should have done that last week, but I'll do that this week. I like to put sulphur on the cut stem. It helps the plants heal up nicely. I try to not get it on the soil, I tilt the plant, or on the leaves. It looks like white powdery mildew on the leaves. Almost always gets me, I see it on a leaf a couple of weeks later and the first thing I think is WPM... till I remember... I see some bottom leaves going yellow. They are asking for a bit more food. OK. Keep Growing Straight out there. Chuck.

This week I had to refill 5 gallons water to make sure I’ll constantly give em water every day, but not heavy just when the soil looking dry. Before putting on the net trellis. I did a little LST . I hold ‘em down first before putting the net trellis on. Slide the net trellis down and then cut off the string that holding the plants down for LST. After cut the canopy shoot up into the square hole. Then from there I reorganized tucked the big fans leave under so other can get lighten . When going into flower which is next week that when I’m going to clean the bottom . Good morning Growmies and hope y’all stay green and positive . Feeling good today 🎶 Larry June. Off to work I go :)

The big day is here! 😎 Today, March 28th, 104 days (15 weeks) after germination, I have harvested my first indoor photoperiod plant. It has been an incredible challenge, especially managing it in the middle of a winter environment, but the results speak for themselves. 📏 Harvest Data (Wet Weight) -Total Wet Weight: 56.5 grams (15.7g + 40.8g). -Final Height: 40 cm of pure density. -Status: Rock-hard buds and an impressive resin layer. -Dry Estimate: I estimate that after water loss (60-70% less), the final dry weight will be between 14 and 17 grams, given how dense the buds are and the cold conditions we’ve faced. 🌡️ Process Summary -Managing a grow with lows of 12°C for my first indoor photoperiod experience has been difficult. I am aware that a climate control system would have been ideal, but the budget is what it is 😆. Despite the limitations, using lukewarm water for irrigation and controlling the lamp height were vital. This plant has been a great learning experience, and I am sure the next one will be much better, applying everything I’ve discovered during these 15 weeks. Now, on to a slow and controlled dry so the flavor is as spectacular as its look! I want to wrap up this diary by thanking everyone who has joined me during these 15 weeks. Your likes, and comments have been an extra motivation to pull this Critical through despite the cold challenges. It has been an incredible learning journey, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my first indoor photoperiod plant. See you all very soon with the Cream Caramel and that Main-Lining I have planned! Happy growing and happy smoking to everyone! 🌿💨

I did less work in the grow this week, had a busy week. 1. Added 6ml of CALMAG to girl #2/NCH cross on this week’s feeding schedule. 3ml helped in changing its color from yellow to green. 2. Went gorilla mode on the LST, #3 and #4 went great, but I ended up injuring heavily baby girl #2. I guess i didn’t understand she was the fragilest from the very start, RIP main cola. 3. Also, set the buckets apart and topped #3 and #4 again.

(11/04-11/10) First Week Notes & Observations: One week old, not much to report to report other than the first plant is smaller than the second at the start of the week. Removed the domes as the humidity in the tent is set pretty high and think it should be fine. RH this week was monitored for 80% Temps were monitored for 78F daytime and 68-70F overnight. Lights were adjusted to provide 280ppfd on plant 1 and 270ppfd plant 2 - that is also the max for this week. It's an increase from 150 last week. Feed & Monitor: Day 11 - both plants were fed about .80 gallons of 5.8ph de-chlorinated tap water for runoff. Both plants produced .25 gallons of 6.7ph and 1980/1950ppm runoff measured with 2 ph pens that were tested&calibrated first. Plant 1 top soil test after feed was avg 6.62 and plant 2 avg 6.85 both plants were tested 3 times on top soil. Made a video of plants.... not sure what is expected here, but think it will just be for fan movements and free music. Hope everyone enjoys the daily progressions of overhead and side profile (Organized Chaos). I will try to add Black back or cover pics by end of week every week.

QUICK GROW STATS/NOTES THROUGHOUT EACH WEEK: ————————————————————————— 5/15: Seed germinated on 5/13 via Cannakan. Planted in Earthbox with BAS 3.0 soil. Sprouted 5/15. ———— 5/18: She's grown. A little stretch, I'd say. I lowered the light closer and checked PPFD using Photone. Right now, she is on a 20-on/4-off light schedule (will change soon). With the Evoframe on 3 or 30%, her light condition is as follows: Light Distance: 2 FT above the seedling PPFD: 252 DLI: 17.8 Pretty soon, as she develops her first set of seedling leaves (a one-finger pair), I'll take out the infrared thermometer to set the VPD offset. ———— 5/19: She's getting bigger! Not much to see here. Check photos! ————————————————————————————— CONTEXT ABOUT THE GROW, SETUP, & ANY OTHER INFO I WANT TO SHARE: I have a 2x4 for veg and a 4x4 for flowering. I plan to scrog train her in the 4x4, hopefully around 1-2ft above the top of the Earthbox. I am also using the new Spectrum AI Camera from AC Infinity! See short clips and photos above. The AI is pretty sweet. It lets you know when it sees stress, if the tent was left open, and more. It also provides daily growth estimates based on historical data. I also use the AC Infinity to get leaf temperature to properly set the VPD offset. At this stage, she's a bit too small to worry about that. I focus on keeping temps around 80F during the day and 72F at night. Also, I keep the humidity around 70-80%. ————————————————————————————— SOIL PREP, TREATMENT, AND PLAN: I use Build A Soil 3.0. For a seedling, this needs NOTHING to begin with. I used Quillaja during prep for the 10-gallon soil bed in the Earthbox. Quillaja is a Saponin wetting agent. I also used WDG3000. This is used to kill fungus gnats or their larvae, if any exist. The microbiology in 3.0 soil can carry this seedling weeks into veg without any feeding. I pre-soaked the soil with 1/2 gallon (5% of the soil's volume) of RO water. No PH. Around 2 weeks into veg, I'll start organically feeding her based on the BAS Supplemental Feeding chart. Top dressing and watering (top, not reservoir) will happen once a week from then on. Shortly after, I'll add 1/2 gal of water to the reservoir and measure how long she takes to drink it. Over time (a few weeks after veg, week 2), I'll ramp her up to 2 gal of water in the reservoir, refilling only when she goes dry. Any additional details are covered in the attached images of the feeding and environmental protocol!

Both of my plants are suffering from nitrogen toxicity so my buds are very small and late flowering. I know what I’ve done wrong, I have been treating them like soil but I grow in coco so runoff is super important, I just learned that and it’s almost harvest time! Better luck next time I suppose 😂 Next time I will feed them to runoff every time and feed more often!! Schedule will be light feeding for now on, to avoid toxicity but I will keep an eye out for deficiency’s as well. This week will be the last four days I give her nutritions. She has like 3-5% amber, and pistils are 65% brown. So a 7-10 days flush will be good I think. I just need the growing space tbh so I need to rush her Day 94: last data with nutes, i will give her canna flush for 3 days then ph valences water for 5-7 more days Day 95: just started to flush her! She is slowly getting pink color calyxes haha and the thricomes also turning pink! She smells super nice! Very sticky plant!! Can’t wait to harvest her 😍🥦

Week 12, Day 83 from seed and 3rd day of flower.....The 5 day of this week officially marked the start of the flowering season!! So I flushed both of these bad boys with ph'd water for two days and then today I switched them to 12/12. I gave them their first dose of bloom nutrients and then lollipoped them as you can see, pixs . Grateful no issues to report for the past 3 weeks have been trouble-free!! I'm going to leave the MH bulb in for an additional 2 weeks to prevent any stretching before switching to the HPS. But so far they are still loving their environment. I'm also in the process of keeping clones of fat banana and hulkberry while i try this new strain of Peanut Butter Tree.

On day 1 I changed out my reservoir. I lowered my nutes to 650 ppm(25% reduction). I adjusted the PH down to 6.1. My left plant has some burnt tips from either PH shift or over fertilization. My hope is that the lower ppm will help to resolve the issue before it spreads. On day 2 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 6.3 to 5.9. On day 3 the reservoirs PH is 6.0. I installed my new 200 watt HLG Rspec. I adjusted PPFD readings to 700-1300 PPFD on all tops. On day 4 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 5.8 to 6.2. On day 5 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 6.4 to 6.0. I diluted my nutrients in my reservoir by removing one gallon of nutrients from the rez and and adding 2 gallons of straight tap water to the rez. This brought the nute concentration from 770 ppm to 540 ppm as the plants will be entering the ripening stage in a few days and they have too much nitrogen judging by the extremely dark green leaves and burnt leaf tips on some branches of the left side plant. The buds seem slightly smaller then my last run which may be due to an excess of nitrogen and maybe not enough light as some of my tops are taller then the others making proper PPFD challenging. All in all the girls are coming along nice and I look forward to the final weeks of flowering 😀 On day 6 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 5.9 to 6.2. I think I have halted the nute burn as I haven't seen it progressing any more on the leaves. I will continue to monitor closely during these final weeks. The trichome production is increasing with some trichs on top of colas starting to go cloudy. The pistils are turning brown with roughly 40-50% are turning brown all signs I'm getting closer to the harvest window 😆. I dimmed my light to give 600-1000 PPFD to tops. On day 7 I reduced my temps to 75 during the day and 68 at night. I adjusted the PH of the reservoir from 6.6 to 6.1. My reservoirs ppm was too high so I diluted the rez with 2 gal of tap water. This brought it down to 480ppm. The average ppfd to all 14 tops is 604 with no top receiving more than 1000 ppfd

Start of week 9 Runtz Muffin got the cut this morning. Put the whole plant to hang dry, i just removed some of the bigger leaves, since plant grew really compact. Drying now for the first 3 days at 56% and 17C, after that 60% and 16C, for at least 8 days. Overall i was really pleased with this strain, Barneys did a great job and you can see their genetics are strong. I will give a weight, taste and smoke update/review once they dry up and got the trim. 10/10 recommended strain!

Lots of work this week on keeping up on training this week, buts it’s going well! I split a fork when tying her down but the duct tape fix worked great and she didn’t exhibit any stress from it surprisingly :) Each day I tighten the bindings and then defoliate about every other or 3rd day. I keep doing 2 feeds to 1 yucca flush. She now uses 3 gallons to get my saturation and 20% runoff, about every 3 days. When I yucca flush I also foliar feed her to keep things flowing, roughly 1/8-1/4 strength of my food dosage. Foliar feed mix is yucca, kelp, fulvic acid, 1-0-0 Calmag+, and a 14-0-0 ominA. And I fed that every day for 3 days until I watered her again :) Interestingly, 3 days in a row just barely began to give her N toxicity by causing a slight clawing of the mature fan leaves, but no burn in the tip, and day 4 she was flat out again :) so it was right at the edge of useable nutrients IMO. The netting is coming along nicely, lots of weaving going on, refilling the center and spreading the mains out to the corners of the tent. Tried 2 different cloning techniques, one placing them into the peat pellets from Walmart with rooting powder, and the other is a Tupperware container filled with a PH’d weak nutrient solution, and sticking the stalks through the lid into the water. Both techniques have produced roots, peat took longer but are stronger specimens. Tupperware seemed to shock them less but roots are tiny little nodules. Thanks for stopping by and checking things out :)
