Adriplnks First week with no news, all have sprouted in 24-48h and are starting to grow. For now, just water EC 0.4. The actual watering is 30ml/day.

Adriplnks I've selected the best 9 and transplanted them to 3L pots. I bury a few cm of stem, so they're almost at the same height. I'm starting with rooting. It won't let me set the actual watering, which is 150ml every 2 days, 0.075L/day.

Adriplnks They grow fast and well, I'll do the pruning in one or two days. I'm starting with boomrapid. They're all between 12 and 18cm. The watering is already correct, currently 200ml every 2 days.

Adriplnks First day of the 4th week, I'm doing apical and lower pruning, leaving all the plants with 2 nodes (4 branches), and trying to equalize their height. On the night of the 25th to the 26th, I sprayed them with Spider plant (as a precaution), since around this time, there are renewed attacks of spider mites. I also connected the 2nd LED bar, with a total of 6 points, 4x50w 4000k and 2x50w 2700k. I rearranged the plants to cover more space. The tallest is at 26cm, the smallest at 14, and all the others between 17-21. On day 29, I transplanted them to 11l, and the next day I switched them to flowering, also removing some lower leaves for easier watering. They were also showing nitrogen deficiency, so that day I watered with 2ml/l of boomrapid.

Adriplnks With the previous watering, the deficiency was resolved and they are growing healthy and strong. I changed the boomrapid for floraboom. I'm bending the tallest ones to match their height; I've raised the shortest one so it's at the same height as the others, 29-31cm. The tallest one is at 35cm. On the night of the 6th to the 7th, I'll do some defoliation to give light to the new shoots, and I'll also remove some of the lower shoots.

Adriplnks Day 9, they're growing without problems. Defoliation on day 12. We'll see how they respond. Day 14, so far they're branching well, so I'm doing another defoliation. One branch from the smallest one broke when I bent it (I put tape on it but it didn't hold) and now it only has 3 left. Photos of before and after.

Adriplnks I do a defoliation every 2 days so that the new shoots get plenty of light. I start with bud busters at half dose. I've lifted the smallest one that's lagging behind, the biggest one I'm bending without any issues. So far, they're still growing.

Adriplnks I do defoliation on day 23 and 28. The ones closest to the door are a bit small, so I've raised all 3 of them. Last watering with root stimulant. It seems like they will stretch a few more cm, but they are done growing now.

Adriplnks On day 31 of flowering, I changed the position of the 3 back plants for light shaping. By day 35, they have stopped growing, so I do the last defoliation. They have grown and branched out well, let's see how they fatten up. They are starting to produce quite a bit of resin/trichomes. They all finished between 90-105cm, except for one that stayed at 80cm, but that's not a problem.

Adriplnks At the end of the week, some spots started appearing on the upper leaves, and they've also progressed very little. I think it's a potassium deficiency, so in the next watering, I'll increase the doses of the sbc.

Adriplnks At the end of the week, specifically on day 47 of flowering, I managed to get rid of the potassium deficiency that had delayed them for these two weeks and left them quite damaged as you can see. I achieved this by watering (this week it was 2 times) with 2.5g/l of the sbc, resulting in an EC of 1.9. This product has a concentration of 10% potassium, with which there shouldn't be any deficiencies if following their growing chart (or similar). Since this isn't the first time, the next grow will be with a different range of fertilizers. Midweek, I started giving only water to the one at the back right, which has remained the smallest and least affected by the deficiency.

Adriplnks This week they were already recovered and have been fattening up/finalizing their ripening. I’m starting the root flushing for 2 more of them. At the end of the week, on their day 63, I’ll cut the first one.

Adriplnks With 64 days, I cut all the others.

Adriplnks Despite the final problems (the lack), it was managed to be solved just in time and it hasn't gone badly at all. With this way of growing, the buds have turned out smaller, but many more, with a final yield of 1.38g/w. I would also dare to say that it has resinated more than last time. Overall very happy, so see you in the next diary, thanks and happy smokes!!
