My biggest mistake of this grow was using peat pots (pictured above) for the seedlings. They are advertised as though they are to be put right in the ground. Unfortunately, they don't decompose fast enough. This bound the roots and made for a very stunted grow. I finally tore them off and put the plants directly in the soil and things have improved dramatically. I used them last spring for my vegetable garden and had horrible results. I assumed it was a soil problem. Now, I know the pots were the issue. The big news this week is the soil. Two of my plants are in the Coast of Maine Stonington Blend. The third plant is in Fox Farm Ocean Forest. The two in the Coast of Maine Stonington Blend look so much better than the Fox Farm Ocean Forest Plant.

During this week the plant has basically done its last big stretch. The hairs have started to develop and I have stopped using root boosters as stretching is slowing down , on the other hand I have added nirvana to help increase production and resine.

harvesting soon do not want to many amber trichomes, looking for the full sativa effect.

** Edición semana - se ha aportado al sistema 14 litros de agua con las cantidades discriminadas en función del número de litros considerado. Al sistema ya se ha empezado a introducir el Canna Zym y la consideración para el agua a 14 litros, se ha echo para que el día 17/08, se empiece la nutrición de floración y el cambio de ciclo lumínico a 12/12. Las próximas dos semanas corresponderán a un total de 5 semanas de vegetativo y por las tasas de crecimiento, seguramente en dos semanas tendremos la correspondencia a la dimensión final en altura del cultivar. (Mi cuenta a la altura del grow la hago, doblando la dimensión del grow cuando se produce el cambio de ciclo de luces. Así si a un vegetativo de 30 CMS cuando se produce el cambio a 12/12, representará que al final de floración la altura final estará siempre algo más del doble. O sea que si en dos semanas el grow esté sobre los 30/35 cma, al final de floración como máximo tendremos un grow sobre los 70 cms. Los grows siguen presentando un maravilloso desarrollo y la cepa fast afgana de Sweet Seeds se ha revelado un acierto magnífico para las condiciones de elevada temperatura y baja humedad que llevamos. Semana 1 1/2 - casi he cortado algo com tres días en total de la presente semana de desarrollo vegetativo y si miráis la entrada del diario anterior a esta, podrá resultar increíble lo cuanto se ha disparado el crecimiento de las "Afghanis" Fast de Sweet Seeds. Un acierto en casi toda la linea...líneas de fenotipo cara a la familia de genes del Hindu Kush. Plantas que reaccionan maravillosamente al calor y ya os había dicho que con una constancia de temperaturas que en luces está con más de 30ºC y que incluso a oscuras, sobre los 26,27ºC y donde la HR se.encuentra siempre entre máximos de 50% y mínimos abajo de 40%, y justo por su "pasado" de las montañas norte de la raya de Afghanistan/Pakistán, es muy claro que la genetica está lista para el calor...o también a frío, en otras cepas de las cuales destacó lo de Mazar-i-Shariff. Pues hoy la entrada de diario con video (en inglés) y con un nuevo set de fotos pone clara la cosa. Las plántulas pasada de jiffy al sustrato actual sobre el día 20 de julio, hoy 29 de julio - ocho días después, son muy reveladoras de lo que son las virtudes de asociar una de las más sencillas formas de hidroponia (pasiva o de APU, o sea de acción de gravedad) y que permite sin carencia ó exceso que la irrigación por Smart Mat (una forma especial de tejido, que toma la solución de agua y nutrientes desde un tablero/maceta de 10 litros y quedándose además otros 10 litros de solución en una cuba que irá vertiendo hacia el tablero por gravedad según la velocidad de absorción del sistema radicular de las plantas (o sea con gravedad se ponen a circular 20 litros en total del sistema y sobre el preparo de estos 20 litros que son la base para el calculo de PH y EC que los distintos momentos del cultivar,.necesitaran). Lo más sorprendente pasa por la siguiente análisis: cantidad de agua necesaria y cantidad utilizada, ahorro de nutrientes y cálculo mucho más efectivo en el control de cuestiones que cuando comparadas, por ejemplo, cuando hacemos riego por ejemplo, al echar 1.5 L con nutrientes y regarla cada dia y que conlleva desde temprano momento de desarrollo a aportar más agua y nutrientes que los necesarios y que al final, acostumbran a ser demasiado,.pues los cultivars se acostumbraran a una filosofía de "exceso" y con ello en regla, los flush finales muchas veces tienen que ser muy agresivos de modo a romper los cristales de nutrientes que se formam por exceso de sales en el sistema. Ya había tenido contacto con cultivars en coco, pero el cultivo en este medio cuando expuesto a las condiciones en que se hace uso racional de la introducción de agua y nutrientes en el sistema, se está revelando casi espectacular, el modo como dia pós dia, el crecimiento de las plantas sea un "espejo" del equilibrio de racionamiento de agua y nutrientes. Por ejemplo, comparar la anterior entrada antes de esta y ver lo que la estructura de tallo y hojas, su inserción y los cortos espacios internudos, es muy revelador de la principal virtud de los cultivos en coco y hidropónicos por gravedad. Algunos amigos con mayor experiencia, me habían referido que el crecimiento en vegetativo es simplemente, explosivo y lo que nos es enseñado en tan solo cuatro/cinco dias de vegetativo, pondrá el listón de calidad en esta temporada, muy por arriba. Según los entendidos, este crecimiento explosivo en vegetativo, ocurre por la manera proporcionada como el sistema de raíces que se encuentra junto al Smart Mat, termina siendo la única area mojada del medio de crecimiento Si comparáis con algunos de otros diarios que aquí presento y donde cultive en suelo, queda muy claro que tan solo en regla sobre la quinta a sexta semana se dá un estirón cualitativo y cuantitativo de los cultivars. En regla y si pensamos el riego normal en suelo y más en verano, lo primero serían las macetas que para suelo serían mayores que las padrones de hidroponia de 11 Litros. 11 litros en macetas de hidroponia corresponden a 23 litros en suelo regular. Después con temperaturas en la linea de las que estamos pasando, corresponderían a riegos de 2 Litros diarios de agua con nutrientes y con la temperatura y la adicción de agua necesarias, para suelo, en estas fechas, el estrés de temperatura y sobre todo el hídrico (por la cantidad de agua aportado) pasarían factura en el crecimiento. A contrário de otras temporadas (de suelo y riego diario), no tenemos, en primer lugar, áreas de suelo en la maceta que se sobrecargan de agua cuando aún no tiene materia radicular. Una de las señales que los grows en suelo y riego directo presentan en verano, suele ser las hojas curvadas hacia bajo y que el set primario de hojas, ya se habría puesto amarillento. Después uno de los sales más prófugo en bloquear otros sales por su exceso en el sistema, es el nitrógeno. Lo que los riegos diretos en verano crean, pasa por cuando saturan áreas de suelo que aún no tienen raíces, el nitrógeno tiende a quedarse fijado en sales en esas áreas y después si bien habrá muchas veces una cantidad muy larga de nitrógeno, al existir ese exceso, más tarde habrá influencia negativa en otros sales y sobretodo microelementos, que no se agregaran de la mejor manera al cultivar. Mucha gente no acostumbra a reflexionar sobre la forma como se hace la nutrición de raíces a través del suelo y si hay factores reductores en la integración de sales cuando más necesarios se convierten, eso pasa por ejemplo, por no haber conocimiento que por ejemplo excesos de nitrógeno pueden impedir que Fósforo o Magnésio o elementos como Boro, Hierro, Manganeso o Zinc, se integren al cultivar cuando más necesarios se hacen. En regla, los iniciados no entienden que un "overfert" de nitrógeno, que suele ocurrir más a común que se imagina (esa idea que se está haciendo la nutrición correcta cuando por ejemplo, el iniciado echa un vistazo a su "plantita" y la ve de un verde muy fuerte y lujuriante. En regla la gran mayoría de sobre fertilización ocurre con el aporte de agua. Un iniciado no será muy preocupado con el PH de su agua y con ello, también le dará poca importancia al EC y os dejo un poco esta idea " no es lo mismo preparar todos los días, soluciones de nutrición en base al preparo de 1,5 litro de solución (en base a una botella de agua de las normales) que por ejemplo preparar por ejemplo un botellón de 6 o 7 litros y usar ese botellón para riegos diarios sucesivos. Aún con medidas es muy distinto, que como en el sistema de hidroponia por gravedad que tengo a uso, pues preparó 20 litros de solución que pondré en una cuba, de esta cuba por una manguera con un sistema APU -bloqueo por gravedad- se llenará el tablero/cuba con cerca de 10 litros y en estos 10 litros estarán sumergidas las tiras Smart Mat, que al llenarse hasta el tope conducen el riego solamente en el área donde ya se encuentran formados los sistemas radiculares de la planta. O sea que en el sistema entrará justo el agua y nutriente necesario a lo que las raíces absorben....mientras que cuando haces riego directo sobre suelo, lo normal es que existan una área en proporción mucho mayor donde se satura el medio con agua y nutriente. Os explicaba que para lo que se puede controlar en PH y EC, hay diferencias muy significativas entre el preparo de 1,5 litros de solución para un día; que un botellón de 6/7 litros para riego a lo largo de 5 o más días ó que el preparo para mi sistema de hidroponia con 20 litros de solución que serán empleados tan solo por la estructura radicular que los absorbe paulatinamente. A quien en verano, perante el dilema del riego al ver incluso indoor que el suelo se seca rápidamente por la temperatura alta y baja humedad y que con eso puede en una maceta para suelo con 23 litros, llegar a hacer riego al menos dos veces al día con un total de 3/4 litros de agua y donde parte de esa agua con solución de sales será vertido en el suelo, pero en áreas del suelo donde no hay raíces...casi seguro, lo que estamos mirando con estos riegos es que tendremos seguro hojas de un verde muy bello y sin dar importancia a que las hojas se pondrán como gruesas y enrolladas hacia bajo y por el verde "bonito" no entender que la sobre fertilización ya esta en plena marcha y que más tarde en floración, por la presencia excesiva de cantidad de nitrógeno, por ejemplo lo que en floración ocurrirá, será que cuando necesitemos sobradamente de Fósforo y Magnésio, para las funciones de floración, engorda y evolución de terpenos y resinas, incluso para el "rippen", lo que suele pasar hace la alegría de los fabricantes de nutrientes, que se llenan de líneas de incluso 25 productos destinados en parte "a corregir las incorrecciones de formulación con que desarrollamos nuestros productos iniciales y a que decimos a nuestros clientes con menos experiencia, que debemos poner más que la cuenta, para que después necesitemos de otros productos en exceso, para equilibrar autênticas bombas químicas - ya sean biológicas o minerales-. Pues y sin alongar más el raciocinio, y por las evidencias y más por lo empírico de la cosa, lo que veo al menos para el periodo de verano y con la conjugación de los siguientes factores :FACTOR 1: semilla F1 Fast con genética Hindu Kush tanto por padre como madre y que guardan plantas que son por antonomasia, resistentes perfectas a las condiciones de mucho calor y poca humedad + FACTOR 2: sistema de hidroponia pasiva por gravedad, cuatro macetas de 11 Litros y responsable por una forma de riego óptima y en la cual la agua con la solución integra agua a partir de tejido Smart Mat y de aquí al sistema radicular que se desarrolla en el contacto del Smart Mat con el medio de cultura + FACTOR 3: medio de cultura formado por: Coco peat/powder con trichodermas naturales -bloque Ugro Basic 70 litros (75%) - Perlite fina (20%) + Bolas Arcilla Expandida Europebbles Plagron (5%) . A las áreas de colocación de las semillas germinadas en jiffy peat, se aporta como medio de refuerzo de protección mycorrizas Kraken - Glomus iranicus sob. + Tricofor 50 (Trichoderma harzanium) + FACTOR 4 - linea de nutrición CANNA Coco. Los cuatros factores son la base y eje de lo que de mejor tiene, en mi opinión, el sistema Quadgrow. Como hidroponia sencilla, creo que es muy buena cara a condiciones de verano, pues permiten que los riegos ocurran de modo muy regular. Habrá dudas con condiciones de invierno, pero en invierno a lo mejor habrá que contrarestar la cantidad de solución preparada y en vez a los 20 litros para una media de 12/14 días a lo mejor, será más interesante hacer el preparo de cubas de no más de 12 litros que podrán en máximo prorrogarse por un máximo de 11 dias. Para ejemplo, queda la enorme dimensión de este comentario y algunos análisis sobre las cuestiones técnicas del grow en hidroponia. Si todo lo técnico es importante, darle a la fé en el buen Dios Jah, para que todo pueda ocurrir en paz, para que los grows se hagan sin contratiempos y para que las miradas y habladurías de vecinos nunca acarreen problemas y eso siempre, por qué la más bella planta del universo, no es para generar una ganancia mayor que le de los amigos disfrutando de buenas películas, buena musica, buena compañía y en eso la mayor virtud de la cannabis como elemento de desarrollo del ser humano hace su hermano humano.

Phone was out of action , will try and fill up the missing weeks , 3 plants have been harvested All photos taken day 76

Update of project Sea green 💚

Moved light closer and added a resin boost tea I’ll do it two more times looks like they like it

I think that during the next week she will start flowering 😁 i placed sulfur for any possible bugs (trips for example) 8th of August we put guanokalong nutrients on the soil which was a gift from a local grow shop, lets try and see how it works! 9th August water 10th August, again took the plant to my balcony, there was a loooot of wind and heat again, i also had another plant on my roof which died due to the heavy wind 😔 11th August water 12th August nothing 13th of august, today the plant is 21 days old, it should be starting to flower already! 14th of August nothing

Plant is doin ok I noticed she's a little bit smaller than other phenotypes, but soon she will grow like a monster as she prepares for flowering stage, so I decided to start LST. As you can imagin guys, is my first LST and you may guess what happened 😢 Yes I broke a branch (with little sprouds) , Will I have serious consequences at harvesting? ****I confess i smoked the broken branch and the leaves (haven't smoke in months!) Man, now I can see this will be some trippy sh^t****

Nothing to really say except that they are growing very well Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

The Ladies Look Great on day 17 of flower i shaved them and defoliated Pink runtz is the biggest and strongest But the other two doing grat as well i Hope they dont Stretch any higher due to Space issues

That long stretch you see with sativas, probably will stretch for 4 weeks like the Chocwah did. Kiyomi is already setting bud sites - this choc doesn't even have hairs yet.

D34 Defoliation

Sooo... The King's Juice Auto wasn't placed back into the tent as you can see and she also wasn't really developing the pistols properly. Gave me a bit of worries but I think/hope she just needed some time to get used to the outdoor conditions. The last few days she started to develope quite well again. So far I could see any male traits... I hope it stays that way and she actually stays a female and only a female. Putting her back alone into the tent unfortunately just wasn't efficient at all. I switched the plants around and my tent is now a 3 plants flower tent with 12-12 cycle, so the King's Juice Auto probably wouldn't have had a lot of fun in the tent anymore. Also if the KJA decided to hermaphrodite as well, I wouldn't know if she was pollinated already or if my tent is still holding on to some pollen from before and I just HAVE to know if my tent is safe now. I just hope outdoor conditions stay like this. It's very sunny, hot and dry right now

This is covered with trichomes smell nice and looks verry happy starting to stacking on those buds now colas looks like sativa spears not long now few more weeks

7/11 Got half in of rain last night. Glad I didn't water. Ph of rain water is very acidic. Added supports to the blueberry cheese in the 50. I just used string and went diagonal and attached to the cage. Wrote a ton but it disappeared. Anyway looking at previous diaries I was wrong about senescence. It wad the life cycle of those earwigs that did that to my plants (see other diaries). This soil mix is amazing. These plants gave only gotten like two small feeds of big bloom. I showed my commercial buddy and I'll keep it between us what was said but it made me feel really good. I'm considering either expanding the cage in one direction with some lumber I already have or moving a couple outside tge cage. That way I have more room. He said he's seen plants structurally similar reach huge heights (14f) so I'm just trying to avoid future problems. I at least need to get the trellis on. I hope poor that's food enough. Did a real nice video this morning but nothing wanted to upload and it just uploaded the same one twice. I'll try again and hopfully it will go up. If not I'll put it up tomorrow. 7/12 Dad has surgery this morning. I did a quick video and took some pictures. I need to do some rearranging with the plants and cut a pallet to fit in the back. Then I can put a vertical trellis up. Haven't decided if I'll add on to the cage, remove a couple plants or just rearrange things but I'm leaning towards the later. They will need water again and I'm wondering if I should start nutrients but everything looks so good. By this time on past diaries I'd be losing all my leaves bu now. MI think it wad part ear wigs and part to many nutes. This soil mix is taking these plants through veg. I'll probably do a feeding soon but it will be organic and it will he small like a big bloom or ancient amber. Im leaning towards not using growbig this year as my plants seem to be doing great without it. We'll see. I'll keep this updated. UPDATE: Went back over and gave plants a full watering. Some were slightly drooping. I was going to add nutes but decided against it as I didn't see any deficiency. So far NO Earwigs! I comed through the plants and I did find a jpn beetle which I happily killed. I mixed up 8 gallons of water and gave it to the 11 plants so it wasn't quite a gallon a plant. I need to rearrange the plants so I have room to move around. I also need to cut another pallet and use the spaces I'm not. Trellis needs to go up. 7/13 I think I've got the watering amount down. Now just to find how often which will depend on weather. I've watered very little this year. They loved that gallon. I was going to use big bloom and kelp me/you but looking at my garden I decided not too. My buddy asked what i was addingvthings for and to wait fir what i added to do what I wanted it to do. I see no nutrient deficiencies so why add anything? I think this soil mixture will get me all tgexway through veg. I dont plan on using much in fliwer either. Definitely good genetics. I really need to cut that palley and move the 1 10gallon to the far back coener. It will open thibgs up so much better. The garden looked so beautiful this morning. Getting very aromatic. I started untangling trellis netting but had to leave. I'll update what I do. Happy growing folks UPDATE: Went back over as I had a slight intuition that I needed to check the garden. I found and killed at least 7 jpn beetles. That's what's been making holes. They tried to escape and bounced off a tarp but I got it. I went through the interiors and found two pillars. If these beetles are gonna be around I'm ordering a net. I'm also close to positive I'm going to extend my cage in the back a few feet. Things are getting unmanageable in here. My buddy said I'll be having problems soon if I don't do something. I'll document what I decide to do. 7/14 Found ONE jpn beetle in the garden this morning. I can manage those well enough. The birds help too. I check my garden multiple times a day so I manually remove many pests. However I've noticed some thrip damage on a leaf and a leafhopper damage on "A" leaf so there are "some" pests around but not enough to spray shit. A couple wasps were doing there job while I was there. Supposed to get thunder storms after three and tonight. Supposed to get over a half inch of rain tonight. I lifted the bags and decided to hold off and let mother nature take care of it as the bags weren't totally dry. Only problem I really have is space. I AM moving that 10gallon (that's the same size as some 20's) in the back. There's 27in not being used and a few feet the other way. My buddy cautioned me that I'm going to have problems since my plants are so crowded. I agree with him. I spoke with me father and we have most materials to extend my cage four feet in the back. I think that's my plan. I'll extend the structure before the stretch then I can put up the supports. We'll see how this goes. UPDATE: Went back over to check the girls as I had a feeling I ought to. When I got there I saw that a couple of the blueberry cheese were pretty light (liftng the smart pot) but the others seemed to be fine. ONE 10th planet was light like that and the purple punch in the 10 gallon was as well. Each plant thar needed it got at least a half gallon of water. I'm waiting to see if we get the thunderstorms and the half inch of rain. I watered the MASSIVE blueberry cheese in the 50 but I only gave it 1 pitcher which is like 1/4 gallon or so. Don't know why I even gave it that. Looked fine but the soil WAS pretty dry. Next year I'm giving myself way more room. I was running trying to chase these jpn beetles. This time I have the dawn and water and a measuring cup to knock them in. This ain't my first rodeo. I did notice some bright yellow streaks on a leaf edge and I'm hoping it's not septoria. I doubt it but I have an anxiety disorder and I worry. I hope I can get the cage extended sooner rather than later. It's getting hard to move in there and more importantly I can't take any more plant pathogen problems. I'm considering starting a plant doctor regimen just to be safe. 7/15 Got a bunch of rain last night. No jpn beetles in the garden and not really much damage. I did notice this (I think it's leaf hoppers) that leave those dots close together on a leaf so it appears I've got a variety of pests. I'm considering how to approach this. I mean the damage is very minimal but I don't want it to get out of hand. Another thing I need to look out for is leaf septoria or any other fungal pathogens. I believe that has been part of my problems in the past. I think that's what caused my earlier grows to drop all their leaves so quick. I think I'm being overly cautious but its very crowded in there. With my father just getting out of surgery the girls will need to wait a little bit before before I can extend the cage. I could still cut the pallet and move the 1 10gallon and that would give more room. I rearranged a LITTLE BIT so they have a little more room but I've really got to get this cage extended. UPDATE: IT Rained so hard I had to pull the car over. We hydroplanned the whole way home. After working ob my house I went to see what the damage would be like. NOT A SINGLE BREAK THAT I COULD SEE. I took a video but since the wifi here sucks I'll have to upload it tomorrow. Walking around in the cage even if I cant get it extended I think I'll be OK. It obviously will open me up to lots more issues but at the very least I can reorganize before I build on. The 10 gal purple punch would fit perfectly in the back and I have a pallet I can cut to fit it in place. Putting that one back and pulling the others forward will be much better than what I've got going on now. I'm also thinking about running an extension cord and putting fans under the canopy or at an angle to keep the wind moving. Just thinking outloud. However after that storm the girls looked as happy as I've ever seen them. All happy praying to the sun, thankful for the much needed rain. Mother nature does a pretty good job with out me messing with it. I've noticed a couple interior lowest leaves turn yellow and die like a nitrogen deficiency but everything else is fine. Also noticed a leaf that looked like a p deficiency but again, it was the VERY bottom leaf on ONE plant. Again the rest of everything looks fantastic. I'll keep an eye out for anymore nutrient deficiencies and if anyone that reads this sees some please let me know. I should've taken stills since they looked so good but I got it on video. 7/16 It POURED last night and throughout the day. TORRENTIAL rain. The branch breaking sheet rain that us outdoor growers learned to fear. My plants aren't trellised currently. I know what I need to do now. I have a pallet to put in the back corner and I'm moving the purple punch in the 10 there. And pulling others forward where there's more room. Then when I extend it (it's gotta be done this week) everything g will be in their proper place and I can just throw on a vertical trellis. I also noticed more (leafhopper) damage on a leaf. Different leaf of the same plant so I'm considering spraying something. I have a number of products but I was trying not to use them. Luckily I have these diaries so I can look back and see certain plants reactions to certain nutes or fungacide/insecticide/nutes and the doses used. I haven't been using much but if my plants will remain cramped I'm going to start the plant doctor. I'm seeing more pillar damage too but BT is super narrow so I'm thinking when I fo spray for pests I might use cap jack and be done with it. Then I can apply the BT in flower if it's necessary. I took a video but I have to wait until tomorrow to upload. I took a quick snapshot though. 7/17 Despite the torrential rain I don't have any breaks. I'm noticing more pest damage though. Another leaf on the same plant had those closely shaped round circles. I forget what pest it is but it's there. Caterpillars are there I'm sure so I may do a preclcentative spray. Just unsure what I'm going to use. I lost a COUPLE very bottom interior leaves that look like they just got used up. After this rain I think think the plants might benefit from a feeding. Probably next water after they dry out. I REALLY need that cage extended. I expressed that today and it should be done this week. I'm looking for pallets today. I have the little one that I can put in the back which will allow me to move the 10 gallon and move the other forward. That will help some but I need more room. I'll update as I go. UPDATE: GOT A SMALL PALLET AND IT FIT PERFECT IN THE BACK ROW. I MOVED THE PURPLE PUNCH IN THE 10 GALLON ONTO IT. I SHIFTED A BUNCHVIF THINGS AROUND. I ROTATED ON BLUEBERRY CHEESE 180 DEGREES SO IT WOULD FIR BETTER. CROP ROTATION IS GOOD ANYWAY. I TOOK VIDEOS AND YOU CAN NOW SEE THE ROWS MUCH BETTER. 2 WITH 3 and 1 WITH 4. IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN IT WAS. I CAN GET AROUND ALL SIDES OF EVERY PLANT NOW. GRANTED THE LARGE 50 IN THE BACK IS GOING TO HAVE SOME TROUBLE BUT ILL JUST STAKE IT TO THE CAGE. IT WILL GROW TOWARDS THE SUN ANYWAY. IM SUPRISED I DIDN'T LOSE A BUNCH OF LEAVES AFTER THIS RAIN. MOVING THINGS AROUND AND LOOKING ON THE INTERIOR OF PLANTS I FOUND A COUPLE LEAVES THAT HAD BEEN USED UP. I REMOVED A COUPKE LEAVES THAT HAD DONE THEIR JOB. I'LL UPDATE AS I GO ALONG.

Monday It’s beginning of week 4 and they are doing pretty well. The main stems are hard and strong and it’s impossible to bend them at that point. I am practicing a very light hand LST everyday like I am showing in the video. Tuesday Watering for both of them , you can follow the (simple) process in the videos. The plants are doing great except for a little issue on one of them that I will show you tomorrow. Topping or not ? May be beneficial so I’m about to do it. Fiming maybe ? Thursday Topping on video ! Simple method

Welcome Back!💚 Nach der sechsten Woche des Wachstums entwickelt sich die Snapple Apple weiterhin nur spärlich Scheint so, als hätte sie das topping nicht so gut vertragen / eine mögliche Überwasserung wäre inzwischen auch relativiert. Allmählich ist eine reguläre Triebform erkennbar, dennoch bilden sich die Triebe sehr langsam und eng anliegend aus. Daher habe ich ein paar Beugungselemente an die Seitentriebe angebracht. Es ist nach dieser Woche Zeit für gute ebenfalls in die Blüte überzuleiten, den an Wachstum erwarte ich nicht mehr viel. Mal schauen, was dann passiert🙈 Ich bin gespannt, wie sich die Pflanze entwickelt. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind OK: ————— 🌞 Temp: 21°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 54% VPD: 0,85 kPa ————— Viele Grüße 👋
