topping for the second time, still one more topping and we'll stop stress them and just let them grow :)

Plants reacted well to last weeks LST! A little more bending and a small defoliation this week. I have just turnt lights to 12/12 wish me luck!!

Diagnosed during mid to late flowering that the Soil and feeding pH throughout the grow was what out of range. I was feeding 4.5 pH acid fert solution and 7.3pH tap water. Although the soil had the nutrients, plant couldn't use it because the pH was way out of range. Yield was PRETTY GOOD though ! 80G's for first time rookie grower, despite of deficiencies in late flowering, its good. I wonder how thick and resinous the buds will grow if grown properly ! Definitely indica dominant straint. NOT for DayTime ! Amazing for night time dabs !

Starting to show preflower signs (:

Day#29Update : I took off about 8-10 fan leaves although I really did not want to take anything . I pony-tailed her main top although I wanted to pony-tail each of her tops . I’m hoping this second lite defoliation establishes those lateral branches letting them become symmetrical with the main top . If this happens I’ll pony-tail each branch for a day or two then when I untie them I’ll top each branch . For now that’s the plan , make as many arms “branches” with equal growth to the central “main” branch . Day#30 update : she’s been ponytailed for an entire 24hrs which is a 1st she always breaks out of the tie . This makes me happy I timed it better . Usually I ponytail her top when it’s slightly to large/strong so the benefits are short lived at most about 8hrs which still definitely helped those lateral branches reach the light but I was aiming to ponytail her at a smaller growth so that it would remain restrained until I decided to remove it . She’s almost ready for a drink . She could go for one today but I really want to wait until she’s absolutely famished and begging for it . So I’m going to wait another day or two then water her until runoff . The last time she received water was day #24. Day#31Update: well she’s still pony-tailed ! I’m shocked and amused . I’ll let her down finally tomorrow . Made it through an entire month she’s only gotten more beautiful since fixing the VPD issue. I broke and gave her water before she was absolutely begging for it . Mainly to address the low and falling humidity in my tent . I don’t want to lose anymore precious time dealing with issues and setback on those autos finishing up in here . After I last watered the tent day #24 I did a massive leaf defoliation of the flowering girls which dropped the overall tent humidity massively . So I adjusted the intake/exhaust fans as well as the oscillating fan to allow the humidity to rise in the tent . That worked well enough until but as the girls drink slowly the humidity is back falling again into the 45s. I don’t want it in the 40s until buds are swollen . I mixed up a gallon on water and added an ounce of trace micronutrients to it and ph’d it down to 6.4 loaded it into a 1gallon sprayer & sprayed my 3 autos . Having a little less than 1/4 gallon of this full strength solution I decided to see what my Cereal milk plant was made of and gave it to her . I haven’t given any of these girls a full strength dose of anything other than the Gaia Green . At day 42 & Day 35 of the autos in flower I did a too dress of flower nutes & a week later all 3 ladies showed burnt tips so I very well may exacerbate the issue by giving them a full stenches feeding of micronutrients . “Cellie” who went into this 1 gallon pot day#9 is showing what looks hunger signs with the yellowing of the lower leaves . Maybe because I’m letting her go thristy considering there should be 28 days of food in this medium at minimum really even more considering I added more than the recommended amount . So we’ll see. Month 1 Veg went great excited to see what kind of bush she looks like at the end of month 2 and fingers crossed by month 3 she’ll be read to flip to flower and scrog down Day#32 Update: RELEASE FROM PONYTAIL PRISON so to speak 😭. She has so many tops already ! It’s going to be a pleasure and a joy to defoliate her , ponytail all her tops for a couple days , then release the ponytails & top all the main tops once to widen her up some more ! She hasn’t shown signs of stress from that full strength micronutrient feeding I gave her last night so that’s wonderful . She’s going to look absolutely crazy when I strip her bare of a lot of these leaves and ponytail those tops BUT the woman she will be once she fills back out will be worth the temporary tragedy . It will take her relatively 14 days to rebound from the defoliation I’m going to put on her if I go as heavy as I’m planning to .

27.4.//Definitely those flying bugs were Fungus gnats. The soil was infected even I bought it in the store. So I had to use the insecticide which I'll attach as a photo; There is great natural replacement for this poison - Neem oil mixed with Hydrogen peroxide but unfortunately I couldn't find pure Neem oil in my country. 2.5. //plants are looking healthy and beautiful. Each plant has a fourth tier of leafs; Each plant is 5cm tall. 4.5.//finally I've got two more lights and now each plant is covered by 100w led light; Humidity began to rise as the plants also began to grow and humidity reached 62%;

5/29 - 6/5 Flowering Week 3 🌡️28c 💧Tap water 🌀 55% Defoliation during this week 6/5 Stretch seems to end and buds swell up

Only sprayed twice during the cycle. I added natural predators to do the work. This time i did some Neem Oil through foliar spray

Start of week 3 blueberry is flowering and the stretch is almost over. The seedlings are growing nicely.the box got up to 100f this week during mini heat wave had to put ice blocks in rez to lower temp down from 80f. I look forward to the 3 other new strains I’m running. My GSC seedling is looking a little pale I should have waited longer to change rez over to bloom nutes. I have top dressed some organic fertilizer near drip line of nutes 4-6-4 one month release. I applied to all seedlings except blueberry. I reduced blumat on gsc, ww, and ch until surface dried a little bit as my gsc was showing signs of overwatering. Gsc is starting to green back up. My bb had to nanners i plucked them I hope these are all. It could be from the high temps or the one night I had a light leak. BB larger plant receving 1000 ppfd.i turn light back down a notch Gsc leaves started cupping now she’s getting just 550 along with other seedlings.will continue to monitor for improvement and ramp lights up a little later if needed as plants should grow into light.

2/23 4 AM all the photos are in one grow. They’re doing OK Ricky‘s doing surprisingly well I really tortured that plant. I think I’ll keep Ricky for a permanent grow. I’ll flip her back to edge when I’m done. She’s a lot of fun to grow really strong. All of the grim brothers are incredibly strong. Doing great much better now that I have general hydroponics as a nutrient made all the difference all of the Tyson 2.0 seeds are doing great. I have punch pie and gelato 44 going and they’re fine. Montel is doing good in a small container and so is ice.T body count. 👍👍👍👍 2/28 1:58AM https://www.youtube.com/@KittenAcademy KITTEN ACADAMY REAL KITTIES....SO DISTRACTED :)

Soooo im out of base nutes so the girls start to develope some nute deficiency but a package from Advanced is on the way to give them everything they need! Already getting fatter and fatter im really really hyped for the outcome of this run.

Tap root issues - too long in jiffy block Still working on dialling in VPD

👍

Day 1 of week 4. Decided to do some LST on her. First time using dry amendments for Nutes and I must say I definitely recommend. Added them to the soil before I planted her and she’s shown no signs of deficiency.

10/12: Looking good. Will feed tomorrow. 10/13: Getting pretty crowded in the closet, so I took the Dark Devil out and moved her into the tiny tent with the other 3. Installed the new FlowerPower UVB lamp. They weren't dry enough to feed today, so I'll do a foliar application of Microlife Maximum Blooms before dark tonight and will feed tomorrow. 10/14: Fed them and took some photos 10/15: I moved Halle Berry(Blackberry 1) into the tiny tent with the dark devils and added another 120w, so that's 360w (72w per square foot) in the tiny tent full of purps...overkill! 10/16: Stared and drooled a bit..pretty much in cruise control now. Stretch has ended for most, but Lemon Pies aren't done yet.

. 🌱 : 💧 : 2l day 29, 1l runoff, 2l day 32 💡 : Dli: 40 mol/m²/d 🤔 :

Still just waiting for more ambers to emerge on her to give her the chop, been flushing her In the meantime, I give her about another week but we shall see her buds are very dense and sticky she smells so good but so stank at the same time, her leaves are fading as she using up the rest of her stored resources

The plant is thriving in its fourth week of the 12/12 light cycle. Watering with CalMag and pH Down. I also gave it one extra feeding of 5 liters with Simplex PK Boost (1 ml/L). The hydroponic plant is about twice as wide—it has completely filled the 40x40 cm grow box. The fan leaves are nearly the size of a palm, and the foliage is dense. The day before yesterday, it shed four lower fan leaves on its own. It seems 40W of light is becoming insufficient. I’ve added Hesi Boost and Hesi PK to the nutrient solution, following the chart dosages. Every day, I top up with 1 liter of water containing CalMag and pH Down. I’m thinking about setting up an automated watering pump to run once a day. I’ve noticed the pH dropping to 5.5 daily; adding 1 ml/L of SillicX and a liter of filtered water brings it back to the 6.0–6.2 range. By the next day, however, it tends to drop to 5.5 or lower. It might be time to completely replace the nutrient solution.
