One of the seedlings growing a little slower than the rest.Still not a stable environment.Temperature is still a bit high. I had to transplant seedling too early due to lack of space in little cups.They started to stretch too much. pH is higher than expected.

Humidity a bit lower this week due to warm days. pH is still higher than we need.Causing calcium deficiency on 2 of my plants. Going really light with nutrients.

15th day Temperature is good today.pH of the water with nutes is around 6.2.Even 10 drops of pH Down took it down to 5.8.I won't be using pHdown for now. Fed them with 2ml CalMag/L and 2.5ml/L BioThrive Grow.They're reacting good so far.5th nodes are about to come alive.Few days before topping. 16th day Today i topped 5 of the plants.6th one is having some problems with the color and growing.So i won't top her until at least she gets her color back. I cut the 5th nodes.Gonna wait for few days to see how they react to topping.If everything goes according to plan,i will start LST this week aswell. 20th day Topping working.2 of the plants are FIMMED.Hopefully wont be a problem.Heat stress signs on Crit+.She will be fine in days. One of the plants dont seem to get well whatever i do.She didn't grow that much.I let her soil dry for 5 days.Then flushed the soil with ph'd water.She had some movement but still not good as expected. Switching to 18/6 to prevent stress on plants.1 week later i will go 12/12.

22th day Switched to 18/6.Hoping to catch some males this week. LST is going better than expected.They're adapting fast to their new shape. 24th day Feeding time.Until today,i gave 2L of water to big pots and 1L to small ones.Today i gave 4L to big ones and 3L to small ones.Did some more LST.Expecting to see genders these days so i can switch to ScrOG. 2 of the plants have problems.1 having light green spots on few big leaves.Other one having problem since the begining.I have to eliminate few anyways.We'll see how it goes.

This week went with MH lamp.I don't think i'll have enough room if i veg more.So switched to 12/12.I kept feeding with Grow aswell to make a stress-free transition.It was a busy week also,i couldn't pay enough attention to my girls.They were overdraught a little but they woke up after feeding 4L/plant. Critical + was a male so i had to get rid of him even though we liked eachother. One of the girls(one if square pot) was weak since the beginning.She didn't do well and i decided to split her into clones.Miraculously she recovered after cutting her and now she's growing much better.

Switched to HPS lamp.3 out of 5 are female so far.I believe they're all female.So i have to seperate ways with at least 2 of them :(.I will wait few more days to see which plant is healthier and happier.

I didn't write too much during past few weeks.I didn't have the time. Plants are doing good so far.4 plants continuing to flower.One of them is quite small then the others.I kept her for experimenting different stuff like different nutrients. I did some defoliation on 22F.Mid and lower budsites wasn't getting enough light so i had to do it before it was too late.Canopy is quite even on height.Left and right plants are even and middle one few cms lower.I'm feeding them with 5L of water every 3-4 days,letting at least %10 runoff water to check ppm/pH. Plant on the right side had Nitrogen toxicity(dark green,leather-like leaves).I will flush her with plain water on next watering.Middle and left one are doing good so far.

Flushed the plant with N tox signs.Some nute burn aswell. Fed the other 2 with full nutes.They're doing ok.All three plants lost few leaves i dont know why,might be that they're not getting light at all. Temps are rising where i live.I hope it wont bring problems.Closet is 28 29 celcius degree right now with lights on. Buds are developing beautifully.Each plant has different smell.Either they're all different strains or hybrid with different genetics.They were all look-alike when they were young :) I'm happy with what i have right now.I wasn't expecting it to be better than this.This is my first experience in these kind of stuff.I researched a lot. Growing is really fun.Hope the plants will give me some good yield.

Buds are getting heavier every day.Tied most of the buds to the closet. Temperature was out of control for 4 days.Vantilator broke down.35 celcius degrees for 3 days.Now it's fine with new ventilation system. Flushed one of the plants which was very slowly flowering.High ppm so i think it was nute lockout.I'll keep an eye on her.Will start flushing on next feeding. Also made the last and biggest defoliation at day 45 of flowering.Cross your fingers to not see nanners. 47F update: Unfortunately it's really hot where i live,right now.I kept the temps below 30 until now but i will be away for few days.Closet will be closed for whole 3-4 days.I hope it will end up fine.

Maaaan.These last weeks are so hard to wait.I believe i have either 2 different strains in my garden or 2 different phenotypes.4 plants,2 different smells.Just watering with overdrive.5gal per plant. Trichomes are not there yet.Mostly cloudy and some clear.No ambers to be seen yet.I was planning to harvest next week but they bloomed few days ago one more time.I dont know if i should wait or not for those calyxes to mature.One plant also has some obvious foxtailing.We'll see how it goes. I keep the ppm below 1000 this week.pH is above 6.Plants are quite high so i'm keeping the light at 40cm distance to avoid bleach and heat stress.It's really hot here nowadays.

64 days since switched to 12/12.Time passed really quick. I decided to keep these for 1 more week since they just bloomed for one more time.Trichomes are showing mostly cloudy with a little clear left.Looking for %90 cloudy %10 amber.Hopefully will get it this week.Size of the buds are getting bigger everyday.Buds are really dense and smelly .Expecting to harvest on friday.Plant will spend his last 24 hours in complete darkness and will be cut down before light come up.I will flush on last watering.Hoping for it to be enough.Since l have to dry in the room that i grow,i will cut them all at the same time.

Week 13. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!
Rated
8/10

This is 1 of the 4 plants.Small one.I had to chop this down to open up more space for other plants.Wet scaling was about 85gr total.Dry is 30 so far.Smoke is a buzzy high.Dried for 4 days in drying box.Jarred up for 4 days aswell with b humidity and around 23 celcius degree.High is a little buzzy.No taste yet.Hoping to get it back with curing.This is just the tip of iceberg.More coming on next weekend :> This plant was pretty much for practice.I didn't flush her.I will try to see the difference between flushed/unflushed.Trichomes were also pretty much cloudy with some clear left.No ambers. UPDATE 29/05/17 Harvested all the plants at 70F.One of the plants could easily go for another week but i don't have the time.I kept the plants in darkness for 40 hours before chopping.I was going to keep the plants whole but buds werent spread so i had to chop it into smaller branches.I'm going for dry trim.Kept most of the small leaves on the plant. All these plants were pretty easy to grow.I'm very surprised with this grow.I wasn't expecting to yield this much tbh.I did the best i could.I made some mistakes trough the grow but learned a lot about growing and plants! I'm expecting yield to be around 300-400gr.I will update once i dry the buds. Thank you everybody who take his time to read my diary!

Wow some really nice strains there , colour is good , growth is even, you going to have some nice bud there 👍Air flow and heat control are the two biggest concerns , keep the temperature and humidity to around 25C and 50% -and the plants will love you 🌱

@BigDaddyK,They were all female btw :> I had to take one out. 1 of the remaining 4 was also didnt grow that much.I cut her branches for cloning.Unexpectedly,she recovered from that point.Now she's smaller than the other 3 but still growing 4 budsites.Keeping her for the strain and experiments.

@Eurus, when I grow 2 humidity isn't an issue , the moment I add a third I have to get my dehumidifier out , and it eats electric ⚡ .It would be a shame if you got 5 males tho.

@BigDaddyK, Thank you for good thoughts! I'm doing the best i can for my plants.Even if this is my first experience,i'm trying to make optimal enviroment for plants.Temperature and humidity is ok so far.These are regular seeds.In the end,i plan to grow 2 females only.Maybe 3 if i think i will have the space.

@BigDaddyK, I actually wanted to do it but not sure if i'm late or not.I don't want to stress the plant.Do you think it's doable at 3rd week of flowering?

@BigDaddyK,I didn't have the courage to defoliate until yesterday.I started by removing few leaves and ended up exposing a lot of budsites to light.Plants looking much better like this.I hope it won't trigger something bad. Also one of the plants have really high runoff ppm(4100).The same plant also had signs of N Toxicity.It will be flushed on next watering. Thank you for checking out regularly mate.Appreciate the interest.Congratz on 2nd best diary of the month mate.

I appreciate any advice.This is my first time growing.It's illegal and quite expensive hobby where i live.So conditions are not gonna be perfect unless nature allows me :>.I'll try to do my best to provide optimal environment for my seedlings. Seeds are regular seeds. 6 Seedlings total.1 critical+ and 5 bagseed.Somango/Lemonhaze
the end.
