Zen’s Winter Run 2025

I need a soup run, I could use a month or 2 of nothing but soup & steak, drops weight fast and you can eat as much as you want of it, Fridays were steak day and I could eat as much steak as I wanted, no soup unless I wanted it but after 6 days of soup steaks were great...Now there's a Pizza or 2 /week and that tips the scale in the wrong direction.

I can’t even look at meat right now. It’s also the first time in many years my wife did tho shopping on a Saturday morning. I’m sure when it’s over I’ll be famished.

I meant to text you last week, just haven’t even up to it. Thought I beat the bug Friday but Saturday was a nightmare. My nose was a waterfall. Where is it all coming from.

Thanks bud, it’s tricky but I’m getting there with the natural and knf methods. Week 4-5 is usually where I find out if I screwed up or not.

The GM leaves look better this morning. Stripes are gone but the blade edges are still lighter in colour. Lights out in a few hours so we’ll see tonight.View attachment 118968View attachment 118969

Got to pull back on the GGB#4, one of them is getting too much.View attachment 118970

Didn’t have this issue with the outdoor grow but I think it’s almost corrected. Patients is the hard part, no quick fixes with this method.

Build a room out

Fed the plants 1/3 4:4:4 and 2/3 2:8:4 with the added extra nutrients like Azomite mostly in TSP a few in TBSP.

Some small and large lower fan leaves are yellowing and falling off.

They dried out a day earlier than normal so they are drinking. Gave them another 2.5L tap water. Rain waters done until spring.

Lights still doing dawn to dusk at 70% but with the plants sitting at almost 4’ I’m hoping stretch ends this weekend and I can raise the light the last few inches that remain.

If I can I’d like to make a wormcastings tea. Heads pounding so it might have to wait. I just think they need a bit more N.

They are all trimmed pretty good with air getting around them. The front GGB#4 is about 6” shorter so it looks bushier than it is.

Like Bandit I watch the temperature above all else. It’s been as low as 20* and as high as 31* but that’s only for a 30 minute window when the lights come on and I haven’t opened the door yet. Most of the time it’s at 25* lights on and 21* lights off.

The odd leaf here and there shows leaf burn were I didn’t raise the light quite quick enough. But they are slowing their stretch. The buds are looking big and fluffy.



This is week three after flip so it’s going well. Only concern is the fading lowers. The fan and/or cold air blowing around the pots might be adding to it.

Some of my measuring devices.

Don’t use the syringes as much now with the dry nutrients. The little scoops that come with some of the powders are handy too. But I should get dollar store cooking spoons to cover the smaller amounts that occasionally are needed.

Feeling really bad this morning. Probably the price of taking Tylenol yesterday and being up all night. So now I’ll need to more of the hated crap to be functional today.

Yes I know Tylenol is bad but so is having a head full of snot under pressure. At least it gets rid of the headache now and let’s me breathe. Otherwise I won’t make it to the basement today.

I don't get sick often so when I do I am like a baby.
I take tylenol Thera flu packets in hot tea and then take tylenol and whatever is in the theraflu.
I double dose and it usually helps me.
I can't say I have taken anything else in decades.
Hope you get to feeling better man.

Plants look outstanding Zen and the dudes always make me chuckle.
Hope you feel better soon man.
IDK if it helps but in Texas there's two remedies for everything depending on what it is...
Tussin or rub some dirt on it.
Pretty self explanatory as to which is for what.
