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!

Definitely would’ve been better had I not moved but nonetheless it was a great run overall, super frosty and sticky with not very dense buds which made for a difficult trim but I didn’t mind.

D9 - 9.21 - Just growing growing growing. All of them have nice velvety roots lining the bottom of the cups 💪😬
D10 - 9.22 - Super impressed by the growth and color of these ladies
D13 - 9.25 - Transplanted into my 5 Gallon fabric pots with 1/3 Nature's Living Soil Super soil mix on bottom and fox farms on top
------------ Right now these are under 250w (True watts) of LED. One of the lights is a "600w" Phlizon full spectrum, the other is a "600w" YGrow for a mixture of 2-peak blurple and 3500k, respectively
D14 - 9.26 - Loving their new pots and tent space! 👽👍

Week 10: 20/4 light schedule, 150 mp water per plant 2x, no fertilization anymore. Day 65: Next week Tueasday/beggining week 11/ we need to harvest because they will come from the council to check the house😂 Well, the previous one finished in 69 days, but I think they won't be properly ready by next week. I tried it and made me high anyways. I would give at least 2 weeks more to be done. Tomorrow I will check the trichomes with magnifying glass. They are beautiful stinky girls. Flowers are getting thicker and pistils are getting brownish. Day 66: I checked the trichomes with magnifying glass and it will be ready by next Tuesday. 7 days left with this day. They are beautiful just check in the video (Day 66).
Day 67: It is crazy the last 3 days was so hot here in London. Today was 38 degrees!!!!!! Poor plants even with ventilation it goes up to 30-31 degrees. Well, it is alright because direct ventilation goes on so they won't be cooked. 😓😛 Day 70: It is the last day when they receive water and they just get once and half of the daily intake. 2 days before harvest I will not water them. Harvest day is on Tuesday 30th of July when they are 72 days old. I have checked the trichomes all good they are matured nicely cloudy so now it is very strong. They are very stinky girls 😋 Day 71: No more water for them..... Tomorrow is harvest day!!!!!😋

Week 9 started, nothing much has changed from week 8, just looking at buds and trying to notice the changes in size and just checking in. Plants look well, mostly buds, some lower leaves arent that healthy but probably due to light. Still adding flower nutriens, because I think harvest could be one or two weeks away, could flush later. Not sure if I should add even more water? Cant really tell from plants. Hoping this week buds will get bigger in size, currently they seem pretty small still.
Week 9 ended, plant 1 has nice big bugs, some brown-ish flowers, sad that it outgrew space, some top buds were burnt by light, plant no 2 which was under secondary light also have nice big buds (this light has more red color i think), also this plant outgrew its space and had burnt top buds from light, but it looks almost ready, lots of brown flowers, also it has leaves with marks and issues, so already started to flush it, plant no 3 has nice frosty buds, but they are smaller in size, either lightning setup didnt reach it or maybe it was because of all the stress it recieved in vegetation weeks. Defoliated plants, which I think now is kind of mistake, should remove only the big fan leaves, no the small ones, perhaps thats why plant no 3 has smaller buds, because it recieved lots of defolation lately. Changed up lightning setup and moved plants around for better light conditions.
Plant no 1 or no 2 could actually be ready for harvest or in few days, im not really sure, Im waiting on all plants for harvest, because will use grow space for drying and curing. Also I've shoulde started flushing somewhere this week, now Im going to start flushing only at end of week which could be too late.

Seeds finally popped up and out of the medium, this plant is a bit behind its Granddaddy Purps sibling but it should catch up in no time. giving them 24hr lighting till week 3 then will reduce it down to 18/6. Added in a few pics this week of the tent and light. nothing much else to report.

Big shout out to @SpiderFarmer for supplying the 2x2x5 Grow tent and The SF1000 100w LED light.
I will be uploading all relevant photos of the products in the next week when they arrive, maybe do a little unboxing video. Who knows.
A 2nd big shout out to Dr.Seeds for supplying the 3x5pac of seeds I will only be featuring two of the three strains in two separate diaries.
You the users will get to decide what ones I grow. I have setup a Grow Question on each diary to vote for your strain of choice for that diary.
https://growdiaries.com/grow-questions/47600-drseeds-1-vote-what-i-grow "Diary #1"
https://growdiaries.com/grow-questions/47600-drseeds-1-vote-what-i-grow "Diary #2"
Cast your vote for each diary.
Thought I would add in the relevant links if you wanted to read up on any of the products that will be officially featured in this grow.

Fed and defoliated to start week 7. The plant looks good for being in a small pot, the buds are on point and look as expected at this stage.

This week was mostly about getting everything ready for the vegetative phase.
I will start to add some nutrients this week. I will first flush out most of the old water that has been running through the system for about 2 weeks now.
When the plants get a little bigger I will add some nutrients and try get my EC level up to around 0.7 with the help from the very supportive people over at EHG nutrients. They have offered to sponsor me through this grow with nutrients which will be of great help. They are a local South African company, so for any one from South Africa 🇿🇦 please check them out.
I have added an oscillating fan to add to the airflow en strengthen my seedlings whilst they start to grow stronger.
Due to my humidity being a bit lower than what I want it to be, I have decided to add an air purifier/humidifier which will hopefully add some humidity to the tent. I am aiming for about 65% RH and will be monitoring this closely.
My lights are currently at 40% strength.
I am making use of a panel heater to break the winter cold and will be aiming to be at around 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit).
I have added an Mycelium bag which is an alternative way to add extra co2 to your grow. This helps the plant to absorb nutrients better and handle the temperatures a bit better.
I will be adding photos as the week continues.

Week 7 day 3. I stopped giving soluble nitrogen today. 1/2 reduction in soluble pk. Adding solubles in water drops my ph perfect so I don’t use ph down in flower. Now today I start adding a little ph down as the 1/2 strength soluble pk brings water to about 7.4, so reduction to 6.9

This week I assembled the new 48x48x80 Mars Hydro tent and installed the new FOHSE Aries 600W LED light. I set the dim to 75%, but after two days, it was clearly too much, especially for 20 hours per day. I will dim it way down and shorten the hours until the plants appear to be doing better.

Super hot week again, 32c days, she's loving it. Growth slowed a bit, just starting to finally see pistils, so hopefully on track for end of September harvest.
Got a new DJI Mini 4K so I don't need to get on a ladder to get pictures anymore! Just drip irrigation and LCPT spray this week and that's it.

je les trouve assez mince je pense n'avoir pas assez arrosé... pas de carence apparente hormis l'eau (hypothése) la stress killer a commencé sa floraison des grand pistil blanc apparaisent et l'odeur commence a etre agréable ^^. je m'insuiéte peu etre pour rien lmais lorsque je regarde d'autre diaries la mienne est juste vraiment mince et petite ^^ mais bon c'est une première.
la nothern light est moins avancé et peine un peu je trouve
j'ai mise en marche le ventilateur pour renforcé les plants.
