Flying High w . Hawk - 2024 Grow Journal

5/25/24
Bought two bags of Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and one bag of the Fox Farm Happy Frog soil. Also bought four Marigolds to use as companion plants.


5/27/24
Bought more companion plants: Lavender, Chamomile, Rosemary and Basil. Really hoping to transplant my two Photos and a lot of companion plants tomorrow!

Really bad migraine today, so didn’t get a chance to check on the Autos & Photos at all. The two Photos are outside and they got rained on today.

5/28/24
Started to fill the raised bed. Will transplant the two Photos tomorrow.

5/29/24
Because of migraines, didn’t get a chance to check on the Autos til nightfall. Once again, extremely wilted. Lifted the LED lights up higher. Watered them.

5/30/24
Finally transplanted the two Photos into raised beds outside. Used ALL of the soil from last season as a base, then 2.5 bags of Fox Farm Ocean Forest, then a bag of Happy Frog soil. Added perlite. Added Myco to the roots area. Fed them GeoFlora Veg (I’m off a couple days on this feeding schedule). Watered them.

Really hope they start to perk up again. Debating using tomato cages as a means of LST.

Questions on companion plants:
Sounds like Marigold and Chamomile both release helpful chemicals into the soil. I have my two outside Autos planted in raised beds. Is there anything negative with planting the companion plants in the same raised beds that have the Photos?

6/5/24
Lots of rain (as well as Tornado warnings) for the two Photos. Pruned off a lot of leaves w. issues on the two Autos.

6/6/24
More rain for the two Photos.

6/7/24
STILL setting up the grow tent. Watered the Autos.

6/8/24
FINALLY planted the companion plants around the two Photos. Might have waited too long for the chamomile. Let’s see if it survives. Rained again.

6/9/24
More rain for the Photos. More companion plants (Rosemary) placed right next to the two Photos. Placed tomato cages around both Photos. Used metal stakes to start LST on the Photos. Chamomile looks like it’s going to make it.

Grow tent is now totally set up / automated. Fed the two Autos some GeoFlora Bloom and watered them.

6/13/24
Back surgery a couple days ago. Will have to rely on my wife to care for the plants for the next…month? At least as far as watering! Watered inside and outside. For some reason the tent fans weren’t oscillating. Got them moving again.

6/17/24
Watered the Autos. The Blue Berry Glue Auto has a lot of yellowing leaves. Trimmed off a lot of the dead leaves from both Autos. Tried to get decent pics of the trichomes. Very curious how long til harvest. The pistils have started to change color from white to amber. Not really seeing anything w. the trichomes yet.

Any idea what's up w. my Blue Berry Glue Auto? SO many leaves are yellowing!

6/20/24
This is my 1st Autoflower. Started germinating on 3/28. So, it’s 12 weeks from seed and in the 7th week of flower. Am I counting this correctly? Need to check trichomes, but I’m thinking it should be very late in flower. Trying to figure out how long til harvest. Pistils still look white more than amber.

The two photos outside are growing well, but very hard to see in my pictures!

6/21/24
Watered the Autos in the tent. Also fed them some CalMag and MegaCrop in hopes of getting the yellowing leaves back to a nice dark green.

6/25/24
Fed the Photos some GeoFlora Veg. Tried to do some LST on the CBD Critical Mass and promptly snapped TWO branches! WTF? Taped / splinted the branches and hope they fuse together again! The 4Kingdoms plant is getting pretty tall. The branches you see on the bottom are ones w. LST, not the broken ones.
