Kong sisters

Stoned_Skeletor The white had a slight issue with low humidity but it's recovering, nothing to worry about. The others are doing well. I use the "just water" method from biotabs for the entire cycle.

Stoned_Skeletor A few humidity issues with white and rainbow, unfortunately, I integrated them while I had the last plant in flowering and so I had the humidity at 55%. However, starting next week, it will restore the right order.

Stoned_Skeletor The little ones are slightly slowed down, thanks to the humidity problem. They look very light due to the stress, but it seems they're heading in the right direction. Soon I'll reduce the humidity by 1% daily to help the roots drink from the soil. Soon, brothers!!!

Stoned_Skeletor After the little humidity issue, all three are recovering well. Gorilla Banana is the healthiest one, but they all have already shown signs of stress due to the low humidity; in fact, they've changed morphology on the upper leaves. Stay tuned!

Stoned_Skeletor Very good week, at the beginning of the week I applied the topping technique on all the plants and gave 0.5 g of bactrex to each one. The next day I sprayed the leaves with a solution of 250 ml of water and 1.5 ml of boom boom spray to help them recover faster. So far, they all seem healthy!

Stoned_Skeletor This week, my friends, went well. I have to say that the Biotabs water-only method takes away a lot of worries. I think I see a slight drop in nitrogen on the new shoots; if that's the case, I'll add one tab per plant. I removed the apical from all three plants. Now the goal is to bring all the branches to the same length and thicken it up to apply a decent scrog. I'll keep you updated!

Stoned_Skeletor I had slight nitrogen deficiencies that I'm treating with 25g of silica (per plant). Additionally, I gave 500ml of water with 1g of Bactrex (per plant). The Gorilla Rainbow has recovered very well; in fact, it's the biggest! Let's see how it goes this week. Update: halfway through the week, I added 1 tablet per plant to fix the nitrogen issue.

Stoned_Skeletor After trying to adjust the nutrients, I decided to raise the lamp. Last week it was at 35 cm with power at 80%, this week I set it to 50 cm with power at 90%. I'll see if I notice improvements on the leaves. I trimmed the apical buds of the secondary branches of Gorilla Rainbow and Gorilla Banana to create a denser canopy. New updates coming this week!

Stoned_Skeletor Hey friends! I cleaned up some leaves here and there to let the plants breathe and get as much light as possible. I'll be putting them into flowering soon.

Stoned_Skeletor Week 10! As I said, I'm waiting for the end of this week to put them into flowering. The plants look healthy!!! The other day I just pulled too hard on the final internode of the white and unfortunately broke it, but I hope it will heal in 10 days. I'll keep you updated! Update The white has recovered well, tomorrow is the last day of the week and I will remove some fan leaves to allow the light to grow some nice buds, after which I will spray 250 ml of water with 1.5 ml of boom boom spray to help them bounce back faster.

Stoned_Skeletor Pre-flowering week, I've finished most of the defoliation on all the girls. During the flowering stage, I'll be removing more to allow for transpiration. LED light at 80% power.

Stoned_Skeletor Last week I removed some leaves, this is because the first week of flowering was a transition between vegetative and pre-flowering. I had reduced it by 1 hour a day, so you could say this is the first week of flowering. This week the power of the LED lamp is around 90%.

Stoned_Skeletor Second week of flowering, so far it's going well. They all look healthy, but there are still too many leaves, my fault for being too careful not to stress them. I'll remove more later on, without overdoing it, because I hope to be able to recover some branches that are currently under the blanket of leaves. I'll keep you updated!

Stoned_Skeletor This week I'm going to prune the girls for the last time. I'll prepare them with the Lollipop technique combined with SCROG, and I'll remove the lower branches that haven't produced satisfactory buds so far. LED lamp 100% Day 20 of flowering update I removed the branches that weren't getting light, and maybe I got a bit carried away with removing leaves 😅. Now we wait for the plants to recover, but they seem strong!

Stoned_Skeletor Week started off well! The little sisters have begun to cover themselves with the first trichomes, but they still don't emit any smells, we'll have to wait for that! Update: I found hermaphroditism on the gorilla banana, caused by the last trimming (I knew I overdid it with the pruning). I hope it's an isolated case, but I'm afraid it might have pollinated some buds of the other sisters... now only time will tell.

Stoned_Skeletor Let's start the week with some bad news that I already hinted at in last week's update. The banana kong has decided to become hermaphrodite. With the SCROG, it's hard for me to control all the tops, but from what I've seen, there have been about ten random sacs on the tops. I'm sure I'll find some surprises at the end. But the rainbow kong is the one that's growing the best, even though it was the one that initially struggled the most. The white is still a bit slow compared to the others. You'll find out by following my fantastic diary! 😂😂😂 Update: All the plants are doing well, the rainbow kong is experiencing some drops, it seems to be nitrogen. I'll keep an eye on it!

Stoned_Skeletor The plants are healthy fortunately. The buds are starting to swell on all of them, but I still see the white a little bit behind. The rainbow, on the other hand, is showing its balls and is filling up with shiny trichomes! As for the banana, I've started to take a dislike to it because of the rapid identity change ☹️ Updates coming soon! Everything has gone smoothly so far, next week I’ll give some silica or orgatrex to the rainbow to recover from the nitrogen deficiency. Stay tuned! 😉

Stoned_Skeletor The week definitely started with the growth of all the main tops. I'm seeing that the rainbow is consuming too much nitrogen, so I added 2 ml of orgatrex per 1 liter of water, hoping to contain this nutrient absorption. Update All the little ones have started to show deficiencies. Banana and a lot more rainbow are beginning to show signs of nitrogen deficiency. On the white, however, there are little rust-like spots on the leaves; I think it's a lack of some micronutrient, so I'll look into it and see what to do. In the end, I'm almost ready for the cut, so I'm considering what to do. Stay tuned!

Stoned_Skeletor It's coming to an end. At the end of week 20, I'm going to cut, even though it doesn't seem to have yielded much for the time I've dedicated to it, but maybe that's just my impression. I would like to understand the sudden color change on the leaves of rainbow and white. Rainbow started with red leaves and then changed to yellow, drying out and curling. White, on the other hand, has slight rust-like spots on the leaves, and the leaves of the buds have started to discolor, becoming very light; I doubt it's genetic. Let's hope for the best!

Stoned_Skeletor Last week of flowering, the plants have used their energy to produce many small buds, just as I wanted. This is because in the last grow I struggled to manage the humidity levels of the buds and had mold issues. That said, the plants are doing quite well, except for White, which is suffering from rust (a bit of wd40 and it all goes away 🤣), just kidding... Rainbow is really beautiful to look at and has very sweet aromas, while White has a citrusy and banana scent, I'd say an undefined sweetness. I can't wait to put them into curing!

Stoned_Skeletor Slow start, but it made up for all the time. It got filled with trichomes and dominated the growbox right from the beginning. Unique color and amazing aromas.

Stoned_Skeletor Tightly packed and compact buds, fragrant and sticky. Surely, to fully enjoy these buds, you'll have to wait a while for their delicate aromas to come out.

Stoned_Skeletor This white hasn't expressed its maximum potential in terms of size. Lots of little leaves, not much substance; we'll see if they at least stay compact. As for the smell, can't complain though, it's a citrusy aroma. Just in the curing process, we'll see what comes out.
