12 | I am nervous about adding the GH products with organic products. I am on the light side of recommendations. Waiting for moisture to fall into red zone. | 5 | 24"X75%X1000 | Expecting to see growth increase from here and after applying nutrients. | |||||
13 | Spread 1 tsp ROG and worked into top layers of soil. Will water in the morning. | 4 | See 6/11 | 24"X75%X1000 | Start minor LST on main. Almost forgot to PH tomorrow's brew. | ||||
| Week 4 | 14 | Added nutrtition. forgot to ph first 250ml. Down PH'd to 6.2 then added nutritition and boosts. from 6/11 Feeding with 1 tsp ROG | 8 | See 6/11 | 24"X75%X1000 | Soil PH 8 at surface 7 deeper down and 5.5 runnoff. I did an actual soil test and the PH reading was 6. | |||
15 | Started LST. Looking for a Blue Labs Soil PH meter.  | 6 | 24"X75%X1200 | Looking closer at light meter. Going to get a better one soon. | |||||
16 | Tried a LST clip. | 6 | |||||||
17 | Adding more clips this weekend to position leaf sets. | ||||||||
18 | Turn lights up a notch. Moisture from last feed still plenty but dry on top. I added 750ml | 6 | RS + Flora Nectar | ||||||
19 | |||||||||
20 | Fed with boost solution from 6/11 | ||||||||
| Week 5 | 21 | ||||||||
22 | 2ML Liquid Seaweed, 1ml Floralicious, 1.5 ml Flora Nectar, 1ml rapid start. 2ML Grow, follow with water to runoff. 1.5 ml liquid Kool Bloom. | ||||||||
23 | Crushed a gnat. More LST. Added a vertical rotating fan. 2 fans now. Hoping it dries things up a bit. Turned off the humidifier. The house is at 55% RH The tent is close to the same without the humidifier. | Treated by spraying the top layer of soil with 4:1 Hydro Peroxide. Sprayed top of soil of 2 pots and will allow to dry and require watering again before watering with HP solution. Added a fan. | |||||||
24 | |||||||||
25 | Flowering? | Calling this Flower day. I think so. I think I see pistils. | |||||||
26 | The sticky tape caught several gnats. But I don't see any now. | 24" X 75% X 900 | |||||||
27 | I checked the weight of the pot today and it was noticeably lighter. I watered with the 6-11 boost solution after mixing 2 teaspoons ROGrow and 3 teaspoons ROBloom into topsoil. After soaking in I sprayed the topsoil again with hydrogen peroxide and water. Just a little pipe screen LST today. | 24" X 75% X 900 | Note: I have some runoff from the bag so I sprayed the drip tray with HP solution, laid a towel down and sprayed that as well. Hoping the towel wicks away moisture from the bottom of the pot. | ||||||
| Week 6 | 28 | Decided to lay off of LST for a few days. I am hand separating leaves to allow light into the plant where some buds are seeking the light. LOL. I turned off the vertical fan and one of the 6-inch fans. I will turn it on again, just didn't want too much wind all day. I was not maintaining light distance. Plan to increase the wattage to full in 2 weeks, I think. | 24" X 75% X 900. | Watching for gnats after feeding and providing a boost solution and HP spray on the soil. Backed off a little on lights raising to 24". 6 weeks and canopy had grown to 17" from lights. | |||||
29 | I am surprised the moisture meter is showing low water already. I am planning to water with a solution of 4 tbsp Mosquito Bits to 1 gal of water today after I recheck moisture. This is my plain water turn. The bits need to soak for 30 minutes, then remove. I am hoping this late in will be the only treatment I need although another is recommended in 3 weeks. I am seeing gnats rarely and one at a time. | Mosquito Bits plain water. | 24" X 75% X 900 | Ordering some pot trivets to elevate pots to get air underneath them. I did see one gnat on the bottom, in the towel, I sprayed with HP. It was frolicking along until I smashed it. | |||||

| 4 | Gnats seem to be gone. Will re-apply Mosquito Bits week 8 if not wanting to risk a return. | ||||||||
| Week 7 | 5 | ||||||||

| 7 | Yellowing leaves. She got pretty fry but no wilt. I watered thoroughly with the most recent boost solution. I made it stronger than usual for the last weeks. I asked, and thanks all for the help, but was told the plant actually looks very good with only a slight deficiency. I have been mixing an organic product with the GH advanced products to serve as a boost. I need to do better documenting of ingredients and stage them. I know they can vary by strain requirements but I want to dial in a nute schedule that generally works throughout each week's needs. Also, I apologize for having missed some entries by not saving them correctly. | .5 g | 19" X 85% X ? | Waiting overnight to look at leaves that have yellowed. Will snip them if continuing to yellow. | |||||

| Week 8 | 12 | ||||||||
| 13 | Oh My! Week 8! I watered 2 times plain water after a mild feed solution with Liquid Seaweed and GH Advanced Products in week 7. I am feeding with RO Bloom Terp Tea tomorrow. The Terp Tea runs 2-3 weeks. This with plain water twice. During Bloom, I will apply GH base and advanced products targeting bloom and ripening. I don't want to overdo it but thinking a heavier load is needed now. I need to remember we are coming up on 70 days, week 10. I am really curious to see the GH Advanced Products that benefit the organic properties of RO Bloom work together. A new spreadsheet will capture weekly feed recipes going forward.... Critical Purple next. Someone mentioned 'dialing in' to get feeding and environment working in sync. That is what I am getting more interested in. | ||||||||
| 14 | |||||||||
| 15 | Added and watered with plain water RO Bloom. I felt like I can see the buds fattening or bulking up a little. This is the focus of feeding for now. Lots of bud sites that need to get fat. I removed all of the LST clips and wires. The plant has mostly taken the shape it will keep more or less. I still have lots of leaves on the plant. The yellowing I mentioned continues but not in an alarming way. I took 3-5 sets of leaves I found dried out or yellowing under the canopy. I don't take more than that and never have trimmed green leaves. My phone died, pictures after charging. | ||||||||
| 16 | |||||||||
| 17 | Plain water today @ PH 6.3 I did not measure run-off. I should. Especially during / after bloom transition | .5 | |||||||
| 18 | |||||||||
| Week 9 | 19 | Watered Am I losing count on water? | .5 | ||||||
| Day 58 | 20 | That water from yesterday is mostly gone. I am not running much through on nutrition. Just the RO feed and watering with light GH micro, bloom, koolbloom and ripen. The RO Bloom should feed for 2 weeks at 3 teaspoons. The solution I am adding holds like 2 ml Bloom and the Ripen I am hoping for bulk. I think it is also a pre-flush. I am not concerned with flushing short of timing using the nutrients up. I have the Kleen product more for soil reuse so can do it anytime.. This feels close 11 weeks. 11 should be dark time. | |||||||
| 21 | I think I figured something out. I am watching the pistils turn inward and amber. Then looking at Trichomes for cloudy then 20-30% amber. (THC degrades further during cure so maybe include this in calculations.) I have two deficiencies. One, I think is light bleaching. The other I am not sure. Something bothering me has been yellowing leaves. I am realizing the plant is nearing the end of bloom so I started thinking this is where she steals nutrients from fan leaves to throw to the buds. I am getting a microscope for the phone to monitor trichome maturity. I believe I am flushing from here. I repeat, not to influence the weed, but to clean up the soil for reuse. | .5 | |||||||
| 22 | |||||||||
| 23 | I watered to 35% runoff 3 ML Liquid Seaweed and 5 ML GH Kleen. To 1 gallon water. I ran the whole gallon through the pot and test run-off PH @5.72. The solution measured 6.3 going in. I tied down a few colas to expose light to the entire stem. I removed damaged leaves and some yellowing. LOL > I saved the stems for the new infuzer on the way to mix with the trim when we get there. | ||||||||
| 24 | |||||||||
| 25 | |||||||||
| Week 10 | 26 | Running a gallon of water with 4ml Kelp and PH 6.3, PPM 200. Then measuring runoff to see if pot ppm gets lower from feeding and washing away. ph6.5, ppm 1100. No change. Nothing to do but watching bud size and trichomes. | |||||||
| 27 | |||||||||
| 28 | Found some ambers but overall they are not consistent across the plant. She's ready to water again. LOL She was ready last night. I am going to give her .5 g with kelp and HP and maybe some aroma / taste adds. | ||||||||
| 29 | |||||||||
| 30 | I'm letting her go into week 11. I am partly cloudy. I started peeling the buds open a little to snap pics of the calyxes. They are close to cloudy mostly. I see some nodules that remind me of what I thought would be hermi pods. It is pretty late into the grow so I am hoping it is something normal. Each has 2 pistils coming out. I think I have pics. The pics are blurry. Antway I also tied all the tall colas down to open the canopy. The longest I hope to leave the plant is Wednesday or Thursday. I will get another pic with the microscope of the questionable. |
