have a new friend. I found him almost dead, but once he's fully recovered, I'll send him back to nature. Sorry, but I don't have time to make weekly diaries. For now, one update at a time is the only way. The girls are now between 30 and 60 cm tall, and I hope this will be my last grow from seed. My new friend is helping me with the bugs. Last week was extremely hot, and I couldn't get the temperature below 29°C. One of the girls is showing visible signs of heat stress. Keep it grow !!! 💚

*Pre-flowers have micro trichomes upon formation, LOL. Based on my early observation, I predict that these will be frosty frosty on the trichomes. Added 20lbs of black lava rock as mulch, raising soil temp around 1 and a half degrees to 72.8F. Some nice little bud formations are creeping up already. Nice little foliar spray of some aminos to the underside of the leaf. Hard to guage or know how much the aminos help, but after reading how energy intensive it is for the plant to make them from scratch its something I feel I need to do as a habit. An EC (Electrical Conductivity) meter, one that's made for the soil, it's so useful, as it indirectly indicates soil moisture as well as salt mineral nutrient levels. Just pop your metre stick in the soil and if ec is low, then it's time to water. Once there is water to assist in the conduction of electricity, the EC" will kick back up. 0.3-1.8, if it stays low, then you know it's time to add more mineral salt ferts! While Electrical Conductivity primarily indicates the overall salt content in soil, pH provides information about the relative proportion of cations (positively charged ions) in the soil's salt capacity. High EC signifies a higher salt concentration, while pH reflects the balance of cations like calcium, magnesium, potassium, ammoniacal nitrogen, sodium, and hydrogen. Smaller leaves have less surface area for stomata to occupy, so the stomata are packed more densely to maintain adequate gas exchange. Smaller leaves might have higher stomatal density to compensate for their smaller size, potentially maximizing carbon uptake and minimizing water loss. Environmental conditions like light intensity and water availability can influence stomatal density, and these factors can affect leaf size as well. Leaf development involves cell division and expansion, and stomatal differentiation is sensitive to these processes. In essence, the smaller leaf size can lead to a higher stomatal density due to the constraints of available space and the need to optimize gas exchange for photosynthesis and transpiration. In the long term, UV-B radiation can lead to more complex changes in stomatal morphology, including effects on both stomatal density and size, potentially impacting carbon sequestration and water use. In essence, UV-B can be a double-edged sword for stomata: It can induce stomatal closure and potentially reduce stomatal size, but it may also trigger an increase in stomatal density as a compensatory mechanism. It is generally more efficient for gas exchange to have smaller leaves with a higher stomatal density, rather than large leaves with lower stomatal density. This is because smaller stomata can facilitate faster gas exchange due to shorter diffusion pathways, even though they may have the same total pore area as fewer, larger stomata Sugars, classified as carbohydrates, are composed of the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). They are characterized by the general formula (CH2O)n, where 'n' represents the number of carbon atoms. The most basic units of sugars, called monosaccharides, have this ratio of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. For example, glucose and fructose, both monosaccharides, have the formula C6H12O6. The reality of your typical plant. After harvest, with all water remove,d you are left with. (Ballpark) Mother-nutrients: Carbon 47%, Oxygen 43%, Hydrogen 4%. Macro-nutrients: Nitrogen 3%, Phosphorus1%, Potassium1%, Calcium1%, Magnesium0.5%, Sulfur0.5%. Micro-nutrients: All the rest combined 1% Nothing good can happen in a soil that can't breathe. The aerobic zone in soil is crucial. Microorganisms can break down sugars into their constituent atoms, though they don't typically do so completely to the individual elemental level (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen) in one step. Microorganisms utilize sugars through metabolic pathways like glycolysis and fermentation, converting them into simpler molecules like pyruvate and then potentially to other compounds like lactic acid, ethanol, or carbon dioxide, releasing energy in the process. Glycolysis: This is a central pathway where a glucose molecule (a common sugar) is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. This process generates some ATP (energy) for the cell. Fermentation: If oxygen is limited, some microorganisms can ferment pyruvate, producing various end products like lactic acid (in lactic acid fermentation), ethanol and carbon dioxide (in alcoholic fermentation), or other organic acids. Further Breakdown: The products of glycolysis and fermentation can be further broken down through other metabolic pathways, potentially leading to the release of carbon dioxide and water, and the extraction of more energy. Not Always to Atoms: While some microorganisms can completely oxidize sugars to carbon dioxide and water, releasing all their energy, others may stop at intermediate stages, producing various organic compounds. Role of Enzymes: Microorganisms use specific enzymes to catalyze each step in these breakdown pathways. In summary, while microorganisms don't typically reduce sugars to individual atoms in one go, they break them down into simpler molecules, releasing energy and potentially forming new compounds as part of their metabolism. In conditions of high CO2 concentration, the pH of a solution or system will decrease, becoming more acidic. Conversely, low CO2 concentrations lead to an increase in pH, making the solution more alkaline or basic. This relationship is due to the chemical reactions involving CO2 and water, which produce carbonic acid and influence the concentration of hydrogen ions, ultimately determining the pH

9/19 tied up some of the drooping branches on the bottom that have fallen from their own mass/weight. Shes been smelling so so awesome this whole time. Each day more frost, resin and trichomes cover the buds 9/22 looked at trichomes through magnifier. They're magnificently long with big heads. Not very many amber heads though. Like maybe 30% clear, 60% cloudy and 10% amber. Thats just a rough guesstimate, I may change that ratio later

This week the plants have fully transitioned into the bulking phase. The stretch has finished, and all the energy is now going into flower production. Buds are stacking nicely across the SCROG, trichome coverage is increasing every day, and the aroma is becoming much more pronounced whenever the tent is opened. The canopy remains nice and even thanks to the training during veg, allowing every top to receive strong, uniform light. Some of the older fan leaves are beginning to fade, which is expected as nutrients are redirected into flower development. 📊 Current Stats Overall Week: 16 Flower Week: 5 Light Schedule: 12/12 PPFD: ~800 µmol/m²/s Temperature: 28°C Relative Humidity: 65% VPD: ~1.35 kPa Watering: 2 L per plant every 3 days Overall, I'm really happy with how this run is progressing. The canopy is full, bud sites are developing evenly, and resin production is picking up quickly. From here it's all about maintaining a stable environment, keeping airflow high, and letting the flowers pack on weight over the coming weeks.

Day 43 12/06/2021- Beginning of week five of flower. She should be done soon, she will also get her final feeding soon. Day 45 12/08/2021- She got her final top dress today from here on out she is on her own all I will do is water with pain water PH to 6.2-6.8 when dry. Day 47 12/10/2021- She is coming along nicely. Very frosty wish she wasn't a auto so I could of clone her for sure. Today she got a nice treat as it rain in my hometown and that's the water she got. Hoping she is ready by the end of the year. I know she looks funny but she was never topped either. Day 49 12/12/2021- End of the week, nothing new.

04/04/2026 Water change day! We're adding Overdrive and taking out big bud. I. Pretty sure she has 2 to 3 weeks left. I haven't checked trichomes yet. No point when I can tell they aren't ready yet. Just by the amount of white pistils. And somehow I can tell she's not ready. Colors, swelling and water intake. Readings: pH: 6.58 EC: 1214 cm TDS: 858 ppm Temp: 67.8° The environment is a bit wonky today. 73° and 50% humidity. I have a feeling the heat is being blocked by the canopy. That's why the environment is off today. No heat increased humidity and decreased temp. Honestly not sure what to do here. I'll just have to let it do its thing. I'm pretty sure it was from me opening the tent up. Oh well. She does look happy. Good nice green. Excluding the dark color of course. There's a bit of an issue with the rear fan. The way she's moving around the tops has left one of them to fall right onto the oscillating fan. Not to mention the area around the fan is super stressed. Not exactly sure what to do about that. Anyway, lots of work to do. 04/05/2026 Readings: pH: 6.55 EC: 1180 cm TDS: 820 ppm Temp: 70.2° Readings after pH: pH: 6.08 EC: 1190 cm TDS: 850 ppm Temp: 65.5° So we can see that there is a fluctuation in all readings. The EC went up by 10 cm. TDS went up 30 ppm. Temp dropped 4.5°. Finally there's the pH. I dropped it to a reasonable level. Around 5 points. Something I'd like to note. The buckets don't drain completely. There's roots in the way. So there's always a gallon or so left in the bottom of the bucket. After pHing, everything changed. I believe that is just a common pH swing. A little high, but I brought it right down. I'm going to check later this afternoon and see if it leveled out. Hopefully it'll be around 6.1. That's when you know the pH perfect is working. The EC and TDS are higher than yesterday. But I'm assuming the pH was high as well as the water temp. It should be down to about 65° and that would fix the portability of the nutrients. The environment is doing pretty good. Temps right there at 73° the Humidity is a bit high today. 47%. I'd really like it down to 40% but that's probably not happening until this wet weather goes away. Then everything should level out. 04/06/2026 Readings: pH: 5.95 EC: 1158 cm TDS: 823 ppm Temp: 67.3° 04/07/2026 Readings: pH: 5.68 EC: 1187 cm TDS: 836 ppm Temp: 68.4° After pHing: pH: 6.04 EC:1192 cm TDS: 878 ppm Temp: 67.1° After Topping off the bucket: pH: 5.8 EC: 1240 cm TDS: 880 ppm Temp: 65.3° 04/08/2026 Readings: pH: 5.54 EC: 1250 cm TDS: 889 ppm Temp: 63.1° After pHing the jug: pH: 6.17 EC: 1465 cm TDS: 965 ppm Temp: 69.1° Bucket Readings: pH: 6.15 EC: 1302 cm TDS: 927 ppm Temp: 66.7° 04/09/2026 Readings: pH: 5.91 EC: 1288 cm TDS: 917 ppm Temp: 69.4° It seems as though this lady may be a bit hungry. TDS and EC are both dropping. Not much, but I can see a pattern. She wants more. But she's stressed out. The tacoing is real! But I'm not sure it's from the light. What else is there? There's more spots on the top leaves. Definitely seems like a deficiency to me. Along with the tacoing. Which I might add also has tons of trichomes to help protect the leaves and buds. The environment is looking good today. However, the heat must have been on this morning when the light turned on. Oh well. An ice bottle from last night would have done nothing. 04/10/2026 Readings: pH: 5.5 EC: 1298 cm TDS: 528 ppm Temp: 67.8° Reading top off water: pH: 5.8 EC: 1244 cm TDS: 949 ppm Temp:67.3°

Week 12 the Apple fritter still growing really good no damages or defects of any kind got lots of white hairs that have shot and I believe it is in its first real week of transition. Looks like it’s gonna have a big stretching week and we’ll see about having some little popcorn buds in the next week or so first big transitional week. The apple fritter is over 8 feet wide and over 8 feet tall Was really really growing fast right now. I expect it to finish around 9 x 9 excited to see some giant apple fritter cola’s.

Day 117. Trim jail and heavy upload session for 24 hours at least. Don't like to keep photos, so ill upload each plant separately and will delete them. Phone camera is still cracked and off-focus, but they are all nice ! Day 128. I knew that those plants will be smallest, but Mini was in centre and her buds were still not nuggy nuggy ... sadf ..... #1 67, #2 68 , #3 75 , #4 56. 266 total . 836 from 720W is good, not my best, but good, just that airy quality .... Happy Growing !!!

Day 42-49 (Day 42) Just watered today but couldn’t go until runoff because I didn’t have enough RO. I forgot to add the probiotic too. Nonetheless, everything is starting to recover from those weird deficiencies and is looking super healthy. Plants are really bushing out now too. I had to top the zkittlez and BBB#3 again as they are just getting too big. Nothing is definitively showing sex yet but I’m seeing clues. Shouldn’t be long now. If I get 4 females or less I will use 10gal pots, 5-7 fem 5gal pots and 8-12 3gal pots. I need to stop overwatering. Even though it doesn’t look too overwatered, it is much better to water a little bit each day at lights on. This will help keep the humidity down as well as deliver optimal oxygen to the roots speeding up plant growth considerably. (Day 45) Gave an EM1 spray down today. The beneficial bacteria is said to overpopulate surfaces so powdery mildew and septoria can’t form. Something seems to be really working as I haven’t seen any yet. (Day 47) I sealed up the tent and am running both dehumidifiers and it’s keeping the RH around a safe 70% night and day which is right on track with VPD. Plants are all looking super healthy. Deficiencies have pretty much all cleared up. Cold nights I’m running 600w and warmer nights I’ll run 400w. I was asking around Instagram about white ash/good burn and a few different people assured me it has to do with mineral content of the soil. I was told the three best products for clean ash is glacial rock dust/basalt, oyster shell flour and langbeinite. I already have langbeinite so I’ll grab the other amendments today and top dress. I grabbed the amendments and also got some Destiny Organics dark matter super soil, coco and some beneficial nematodes. Top dressed each amendment except langbeinite and mulched in some coco coir. (Day 48) My shelf came in today and I think it may be to big for the 4x4 tent. Each square is 12”, not the 11.8” advertised. I could wipe down my flower room and set it up in there which would give my plants a good adjustment to the new lights before I flip. Or I could set it up in the veg tent but that seems like a huge hassle as the need to be moved and flipped soon anyway. I wish they would show sex already so I can toss out the plants I’m not keeping. For flower I am considering starting over fresh with the new Destiny soil and coco mixed with some amendments. I’m concerned that my current mix might be too hot. I could also dilute it with the Destiny/coco mix. Those little bulb mites that came in with the worm castings are a little concerning as well. Some say they are just beneficial composters aka “worm bin mites” and others are telling me they’re predatory bulb mites which destroy crops like garlic. I’m leaning towards beneficial composters but in another grow I watched them devour a seedling before it sprouted. Gotta check the current roots but the plants aren’t quite ready to be transplanted. (Day 49) Got everything in the flower tent wiped down and sprayed with alcohol then EM1 few hours later. Got the shelf set up and got all my temp controls set up and running. I put the controllers outside the tent this time and will patch any light leaks. Gave a lite compost tea at 830ppm and a velokelp foliar spray at 6ml/L. This will be the last veg feeding before I transplant into their final containers on the 31st. BCTG#2 is a confirmed male and I pulled him. No one else is showing definitively. Roots looked super healthy with very few mites but I’m not 100% convinced they’re all clean. I saw a few mites on leaves today too. Saw a bit of droop after the move but they all look happy just a few hours later. Took a few clones from some sucker branches on a few of the blackberries.

Loud hashy, pepper, sulfur, rotten fruit, lemon, and Skittles terps. The landraces got nice structure, terps and yield but resin is lacking. I think that's normal. Gonna have to cross these a few times till I find something great that is worth it.
