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!

On the start of week 4 flower the gals are doing well :) The Blueberry scent is getting stronger. I defoliated lower growth sites and cleaned up the top canopy to let more light and air in. I couldn't get everything I wanted to prune because I cant reach the back of the canopy, so some larf will be expected on my plant in the back of the box. On day 2 its all on cruize control now not much else to do but keep my reservoir on point and wait for the girls to bulk up and mature :). On day 6 I mixed up a new 5 gal reservoir with my bloom nutes. At the end of week 4 flower the girls smell great :). the smell is building every day along with the buds :) I'm really happy and surprised with the production at only week 4. It seems my clone may be optimized to my growing environment and or the increased light levels from being too close to the grow lights have accelerated the flowering process.

Hello Growers and Tokers! π π©βπΎ π§βπΎ.π₯π¨
We'll got progress going!
Pictures taken on day 42 of flower.
The smell is something that i'm loving.
Although one smells stonger and sweeter than the other, they both are smelling great.
I had my doubts about the nugs not being big or hard but it seems like the green sensation is doing it's job.
There's been a good progress since i've started using Green Sensation. Glad to see that.
In flower I feed with only water and 2ml/L of enzymes. Once about 10 days.
Resin prodcution has gone up, buds are denser and a bit bigger.
Which is good given that most of the pistils are still white and they fatten up more when they rippen.
As long as things keep a stable progress, i think i'm good.

This Gelato autoflower is developing nicely!
She's ready for a defoliation. The defoliation will be done on next weeks watering day.
2.5 gallon dosage of the above listed nutes lasts her 5 days, becoming 90% dry, and ready for the next 2.5 gallon dosage!

Very good run, sorry I havenβt been updating her but I broke my phone and kinda forgot about this site when I got a new one since itβs not an app. Happy growing everyone, I put pics and videos on my Instagram of her and the others Iβve been chopping recently. At least one plant a month is the goal! Eaegifts on ig

Still drying in my wardrobe on hangers with a rotating fan and a mini dehumidifier. Harvested when the dirt were really dry. Splitted the stems to dry correctly.

Another easy week. I'm heading into autumn so I'm having some temp and humidity fluctuations. Nothing too crazy.
Hash plant and Zed black are cruising to the finish. Some hash plants will finish over the next couple days. The Zed blacks are looking like they need 1.5 weeks.
Hash plant smelling like diesel, spicy hash, tennis balls
Zed black smelling like rotten fruit and lemons.
I got about 3 keepers I want to use for breeding. Along with the two rainbow belts it's a nice stock to work with.
The males are revenged. I will be transplanting into larger pots and flipping to flower while I reveg the selected flowers after harvest

Hi everyone π
Welcome back on another week update.
So far everything going as well as can be. Both πππ girls developing very well. This week I have reduced root juice by half and by the end of this week may introduce fish mix and biogrow on very small dose but all will depend how girls will be developing in coming days.
Thank you all for all the likes comments, follows and pm's.
Love you all ππ
I will keep updating this week progress every few days.
Wishing you all a wonderful week β¨πβ¨
Peace and love brothers and sisters βοΈπ

This week I saw an explosion of growth; all four plants seem to be very vigorous and really drinking well.
It been about 8 days since I repotted these plants and I am starting to see small capillary roots at the drain holes.
I have taken off a few of the largest leaves to maximize light in the canopy, and any of the lowest nodes that look a little shrimpy I culled.
Canβt wait for the weather to warm up so they can go outside π

Day 36 I've just tightened up the LST and watched them grow. Tomorrow I'm gonna feed them cause the soil is dry enough. At least 10cm beneath the surface.
Day 37 I've watered each one of them with:
-2L pH 6.2 water at 20.5Β°C with
-1ml/L Biobizz Top-Max
-2ml/L Biobizz Bio-Bloom
Run off was 700-850 ppm pH 6.3
Day 38 I've just watched them.
Day 41 I've adjusted some LST and a little defoliation again because they are stretching now
Even if they look a little bit small I'm happy so far with my first grow.
I still have a lot more to learn and it is a never ending journey i guess.
Thank you for passing by to check my diary, I do really appreciate it.
Happy New Year to you all and you beloved ones.

Corrected a few minor issues and she seems to be getting on well now. Hopefully i should see some steady and quick growth few minor problems at the start with light leaks causing algae but quickly rectified. Roots are looking healthy and are reaching through to the water. Back with an update soon.
Day 26 - well on her way now, growth occuring everyday, currently at 1.32 EC and around 6.1 pH. Roots have exploded since two days ago. If i kerp this going garvest time will be the best ive ever had and ive had some good harvests in soil/coco. But yeah, very please so far. Updaye soon
Day 27 - Dropped the EC slightly down to 1.28 as she was looking a bit toxic, pH seems more stable now but might lower the EC again slightly. Ill see how it goes for now.
