MedicalCannabisCultivation Day 32:
They had now a couple of Days 18/6 lights on after those suboptimal 24/0 cycles. I moved the LED light to 60cm lamp to plant distance at the same time & increased RH to 50-60%.
Moved them today in big tent(since I harvested today the old plants from other diary) & added 4 smaller plants I was growing in the bathroom under 15w plant led 18/6. Yesterday I defoliated the old fan leaves that had deficiency & stress marks on them. Now Sanlights are running on lowest dimm level at 80cm above canopy. RH is 55%. All of them lock way healthier now & growing well.

MedicalCannabisCultivation Day 40:
Spotted tiny flies buzzing around plants. I thought I could complete one grow without any trouble but I guess this is common for many growers so I should get used to it. After research I am sure those are fungus gnats. I am growing organic plus promoting fungal & bacterial growths by also keeping soil toplayer dark & moist through use of expanded clay pebbles even if I water not very often. This way I am attracting fungus gnats. So I decided setting up yellow stickers in the tent(to keep track of fungus gnats population) & adding fungus gnats larvae killing bacteria(B.t.i. = Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) to the irrigation water after a long period of not watering plants until topsoil is as dry as possible. Items are ordered & expected to arrive next week. Not many fungus gnats spotted so far I guess I acted fast enough to address this issue & maybe it's good to build up an organic toolbox to fight various pests. Otherwise the plants look all healthy & are stretching. I keep looking for information regarding this fungus gnats infestation.

MedicalCannabisCultivation Day 45:
Altough the number of fungus gnats has dramatically decreased just by letting the soil dry out. I fed them today with plain water + nematodes(Steinernema feltiae) to properly solve this infestation by using organic additives only. I set up a yellow sticker as well to keep track of them.
Plants still stretching & look healthy. First pistils appearing on top nodes.
MedicalCannabisCultivation Day 63:
Removed 4 of the smaller plants because they remained weak & kept the light from passing down to lower branches. Plants are very slow to flower this time. They have still a long way to go.
MedicalCannabisCultivation Again, Trimmed them while in the pot and cutted the branches to hang them in the small 40x40cm tent with 2 fans aimed at the buds. Final dry weight & smoke/taste report will be added when buds are dry & can be smoked or vaped.
