NOTES:
Keeping the pH between 5,8-6,0 and EC at around 1,4-1,6 depending on system. EC at 1,5 seems to be optimal and my measurements are staying pretty steady at that level. Humidity is lowered to around 50% if I can.
The tops are now at around 45-60cm height from the soil.
Continuing the last heavier defoliation/pruning process that I started yesterday at the end of 2nd flowering week. I saw no signs of mold or any other issues as I went through the plants.
After this week I'm going to change the nutrient solutions on the tanks and fill them with fresh nutrients with minor changes: Dropping the amount of Grow from 1,5ml to 0,5ml and increasing the amount of Bloom from 1,5ml to 2,5ml. After the change I'm only going to refill the tanks without adding any Grow and will instead increase the amount of Bloom to 3ml. Propably a one more change of fresh nutrients until flushing with Final Solution prior harvesting.
Day64 (19.12.)
Some more defoliation focusing on the upper growth revealing bud sites below them and keeping off the moisture. Already got a trash bag almost full of leaves since they've been pretty bushy plants on average.
Day65 (20.12.)
Continuing the last defoliation process.
Day66 (21.12.)
Continuing the last defoliation process, pretty satisfied with the results so far. Light penetration and airflow have increased greatly so I don't have to worry that much about humidity or possible mold any longer.
Each strain has started flowering, all plants are females and buds have started to develop. Defoliating didn't seem to stress the plants as much as I thought it would.
Day67 (22.12.)
Day68 (23.12.)
Refilled and added some nutrients with a stronger Bloom/Grow -ratio (~4:1) and left my girls to enjoy the Christmas Holidays as I did. I'll be gone for around three days, after that I'll change to new fresh nutrients as I mentioned before.
One Ayahuasca Purple seems to be ahead of others, and a few other ones have clearly started to develop some buds too, rest of the plants are following closely behind. Each strain has some truly astonishing individuals, and I think Ayahuasca's have shown most variety between different plants. Overall everything looks pretty good I think. Hopefully can say the same after a couple of days as I come back.
Happy holidays everyone!
Day69 (24.12.)
Day70 (25.12.)
I added another Led light to my tent just before the lights turned off. Everything looks amazing!

The girls are starting to wrap up their cycle. I have been watching the trichomes closely, and we are getting very close

Put the girls into the new 4x8 flower tent today. Need to get lights for the other half of the tent but these plants are in one half of the tent sitting under Aglex 2000 and Aglex 1200 (total 630 true watts)
They're starting to stack and bulk up a bit and getting a nice sweet stink to them.
Another easy week with no issues showing themselves.

Hey everyone ๐.
We arrived last week and everything is going according to plan ๐.
It has now had enough time to use up its nutrients and will be in the darkroom for the next 2-3 days before it is harvested ๐.
The trichomes are 70% Milky and 30% amber ๐.
As always, a detailed harvest update will follow before the last update ๐.
Until then, I wish you all the best, stay healthy and let it grow ๐

Time for another update!
During Week 9
Light defoliation on bottom canopy
Added 1 heaping tbsp of GEO Bloom dry amendment 3-12.5-9 with regular PH'd water
Watering every 3 days with 1/2 liter of water or more. Trying to keep soil moist without drying out. Seems to be improving the plants
Plan week 10
Installing ViparSpectra XS2000 light to help with better light coverage in the 4x4 tent
Going to keep RH around 45% and keeping up with airflow
Planning to put in dehumidifier in upcoming week if necessary
Weaning down on light defoliation at this point.
Happy with how these girls are doing! Hoping the new light set up with the ViparSpectra XS2000 will make a difference in yield this far into flower. Trying to combat a little bit of light burn happening at the moment as well.
Thanks for checking in! See you next week

Good week so far, I laid my net down , always a Nice feeling when the net goes down and I can start focusing on creating my canopy.
I will start bending my branches out to fill the net space up and to create room for lower branches to get some light.
I defoliated a bit and stripped the lower branches just after I took these pictures , i know there are different schools of thought surrounding defoliating so soon into flowering , but im doing hst and i like to see what I'm doing dealing with and what my branches are producing.
I'm happy so far

Hope to get some feedback about nutrition :
After 1 plant developed a small brown tip, I started feeding. A total of 116.6 liters of water goes into my system. The feeding schedule says that you should give 4 ml of root juice per liter of water. So: 116.6 x 4 = 466 in total for week 1. So, 466/7 = 66.5 ml per day.
Despite this, the differences in root growth per container seem very different. 1 bin was so far behind that I changed them. However, after 1 day a brown mass developed in the roots. The others are still nice and white. Is this already the bereft root rot?
I've made some pictures and a video. The first plant in the video was first in the container of the third plant in the video.
EC value = 0.6
PH = 6.6
Update 3-5 : After adding more air, problem solved.
Need to keep an eye on plant #3. I've put sticks on top of the startblock. 1 stick is plant #1 etc.
Plant 3 is behind the rest. Root development also differs from the rest. Instead of a long (about 50 cm) long carrot, they are a few short (10/15 cm).
The plant is also significantly smaller than the rest.
Can't do much now so, let's hope and see she can catch up.

Song of the week : Cypress Hill - Insane In The Brain
-------
Day 32 - The girls are good , I put them out on day 29 and after a night out they get back into the tent. In less than 24h out the Gp#1 made a big stretch so I need to check her height , the Gp#2 is starting to get bushy. The 2 girls are experimenting a nitrogen excess due to the last and 1st feeding last week : you can see it on the dark green and almost blue colour of the leaves so they will only get tap water until flowering.
-------
Day 33 - A little training have been done on the Gp#1 : just few stems pinching ๐

So, into day 9 of 12/12 and the girls have responded quickly. Bud sites appearing everywhere. Top dressed with some more nutrients, have had daily manicuring, i prefer little and often rather than 1 massive blast. I have turned the lights up to 85%, and will work it to 100 over the next week or so.

I figured nothing could go wrong with 50% amber / 50% milky trichomes.
Harvest day, Medical Mass: Huge buds and no traumas but got bud rot because of too high temps. The best I've ever smoked.
Harvest day, Pineapplex Express: Got an early trauma when transplanting but handled it beautifully. Potent smoke.
Pretty satisfied for a first grow, and I have a lot of changes for my 2nd grow!

End of week 3 currently. Will be updating end of the week for week 4. Plants are growing fast and strong. Started the low stress training by pulling the ladies over. Going to keep monitoring environment and watering when dry with decholrinated tap water at PH of 6.3-6.6.

DAY 63 / 9 weeks of flowering. Last pictures of these sativa's. Ready to harvest ๐
Not all plants are equally ripe.. Some plants have hard ripen buds. But some plants could use one or more extra weeks of flowering, ๐ถ
The fragrance varies widely. From fruity candies to strong diesel scent. ๐
The size and appearance of the plants also varies greatly. Not really suitable for SOG. ๐ช
This week only water. ๐จ Low RH% 40-45
---------------------------------------------
Plant size and description :
#1 89cm Promising in the first weeks, but ultimately only a small plant with a low yield.๐ฅ
#2 144cm Monster-tall beautiful large sativa-like plant, with beautiful fat buds. I love her. ๐
#3 144cm By far the most typical sativa plant. Enormous length with loose foxtail buds. Could use a few more weeks of flowering. ๐ต
#4 129cm Tall plant with fewer buds. Maybe because this girl is in the corner of the growing room where she doesn't get that much light. Nice and ripe anyway.๐ณ
#5 117cm Beautiful semi-tall plant. The buds may not be as fat, but they are nicely ripe. ๐
#6 92cm Very photogenic rather small plant. The buds seem to spiral up to a fat top. ๐
#7 123cm Large plant with many sativa influences. Pointed hard top studded with trichomes. ๐
#8 124cm Like # 7, a nice big plant but with leaf greenery woven into the buds. ๐
#9 102cm Half to rather high plant endowed with one of the most beautiful buds. Sativa-style bud, but swollen, hard and ripe. Magnificent! A lust for the eye.๐
#10 65cm Small plant. Lower yield. Many brown hairs. Pretty ripe. ๐
#11 71cm Very small even thin plant. Pointed small tops. Undoubtedly the plant with the least yield. Still lovely. ๐
#12 111cm Semi-tall plant. Floppy side branches, but really nice buds. ๐
#13 113cm One of my favorites. Beautiful plant with very fine decorative flowers. Very fresh and tasty appearance. Delicious! ๐
#14 92cm Rather small plant, but with firm hard ripe swollen buds. Yummy. ๐
#15 126cm Incredible plant with a fist-sized huge super-fat head top. But also beautiful side branches with thick buds. Exteme heavy yielder! ๐
#16 88cm Small plant in the corner with relatively many buds. Pointed head top. ๐
