Cannabotanica —

Cannabotanica Vigorous growth for this 13th week, slight deficiency in iron and boron for my PHANTOM OG x PHANTOM OG x PHANTOM OG. Problem solved by foliar spraying of Humic acid (converted by the plant into fulvic acid) to improve the absorption of minerals and nutrients contained in the soil. In this case, no additional input, it has what it needs. Just speeding up, facilitating the absorption and transit of nutrients. I use an organo-mineral feeding with mycorrhizae, trichoderma in symbiosis, and earthworms developing in the substrate.

Cannabotanica Continuing from week 13 to week 14, defoliation of the Sour Diesel and Damnésia plants (I'm waiting one more week because the AK (Colombian Gold x Thai) is growing more compact and slower). Selecting the buds in preparation for flowering in 3 weeks. I will transfer them to 25-liter pots for flowering. The 400w (consumed) COB from Cree is very effective during growth and flowering, managing air and temperature, and especially on the plant's metabolism, which is really of much better quality than the MH/HPS/CMH that I usually use with half the nutrients in soil substrate cultivation (peat, worm humus). The PHANTOM OG x PHANTOM OG x PHANTOM OG is stunning. After removing the ties and selecting the buds, I will do another LST in week 15, then repot into 20 liters for flowering in week 16. The PHANTOM is special because it's a cross I made from several genotypes of PHANTOM OG KUSH from Barneyfarm to select the characteristics I was looking for, leading to this cross two years later that allowed me to acquire a 100% indica plant, shortening the flowering time with a fast and abundant bloom and a very pronounced kush aroma.

Cannabotanica For this 15th week, preparation for flowering week 16. I repotted the 2 Damnésia into 20L, the AK47 from 11L to 14L, and the Cali Sour Diesel into 25L with a mix of 45% peat, 20% perlite, 30% worm humus, and 5% bat guano. I'm reducing fertilization by 80% for 1 week, allowing the plants to absorb the guano and avoid burns related to it. I defoliated, staked, lopped (PHANTOM), and pinched them. I then changed their light schedule from 22 to 16 hours to let them restart before the stretch begins. They measure 120, 122cm for the Damnésia, 115cm for the Cali Sour Diesel, and 100cm for the AK47. The PHANTOM will remain in growth (mother plant) for several more months, enough time to make about a hundred clones. They fill the box room of 150cmx115cmx250cm to 70%.

Cannabotanica Good recovery of the plants after repotting in flowering substrate. The switch to 12/12 made all 4 plants react in less than 24 hours. The stretching has started. I'm adjusting my fertilization. I’m starting by halving the doses indicated in "nutrients" to move towards 100% in 3 weeks. I'm going from 400 to 600w LED COBB/SMD CREE IR+UV full spectrum, I'm enhancing the COBB spectrums to boost the formation of big, resinous buds to have very compact flowers, promote the growth of flowers and buds with a flowing light that penetrates the canopy and reduce weight loss during drying. See you next week, happy growing everyone!

Cannabotanica For this first week, I went from 520 to 800w COBB/SMD Cree. Strong sprouts, quick stretching. I'm SCROGing twice a day this week. I also switched to the Hesi flowering complex, Supervit Hesi, Bubblezym V2 Platinum, and Atami B'Cuzz to strengthen the root system, accelerate nutrient absorption, promote uniform development on the canopy, swell the buds, and gain weight.

Cannabotanica This week, 800w COBB/SMD SCROG surface 90×110cm the SCROG is now well in place, the stretching is finishing for Damnésia, AK, Californian SourDiesel. The first flowers are coming. This promises a beautiful flowering. I defoliated the underside of the canopy since light penetration is no longer happening and it will help promote the flowers.

Cannabotanica Flowers are popping up everywhere and starting to grow. The canopy + under canopy is starting to get thick. I'm finishing the week with the Atami B'Cuzz additive to promote flower development, then switching to Atami Bloomastic to enhance the weight, swelling, and compactness of the flower, as well as the taste and terpene profile of the SCROG.

Cannabotanica For this 20th week, the SCROG is literally exploding. The canopy + under canopy of flowers is about 25-30cm thick. I counted around a hundred buds in less than 20cm2. The flowers are huge and starting to resin for the AK Skunk (landrace). Very nice SCROG!
