I had to adjust the led distance, it was way too far away from the plants (and as you can see in the photos, they're stretching too much already). I'm also starting forcing the airflow, and I'm planning to use a hydroponic system to provide water and nutrients from next week

The plants are showing some signs of overwatering, after installing the hydroponic system. I've ordered an Alexa timer to control It better, for now, I've switched it off for the last 3 days and the soil still looks moist. I let it run for a couple of minutes this morning, I'm planning to do the same every 2 days to better check the status of the leaves.

I doubled the amount of water while cutting the cutting in half the timer duration (3 mins), to have more accurate data. At the beginning of the 3rd week, the best performers so far are the Orange Sherbets, while the younger Wedding Glue seems to be slower than her sister. So far all is looking good, but I can see I did some small mistakes here and there and the plants are suffering from it (the older plants are on par with the younger OS, which is.. weird) I also started setting up examples for future LST, and most importantly I learned what not to do when tying the ropes (I slightly damaged 2 leaves, goddamn). Finally, I adjusted the LED distance to match the older plants' heights, I wonder how the smaller Wedding Glue will react to this. Hopefully, next week will start the flowering phase.

All the plants are almost at the same stage, except for the younger wedding glue that seems to be like 1 week behind their sisters. I still wonder what happened, probably it got traumatized by the transplant. All of them look healthy, no parasites so far, and the smell is becoming stronger. Still no flowering signs, I really hope this is the last vegetative week.

Finally, we're at the flowering stage ✌️ I still don't understand what's going on with the two Wedding Glue: same nutrients, same conditions, same lights.. and yet, such a difference in heights. Everything else looks fine and, hopefully, in one month from now, I'll be able to test at least one of those amazing strains 😎

So, I found out some signals of overfeeding on my plants, and I had to wash them while cutting in half the nutrients. I also applied more defoliation, as I noticed that the pistils were not receiving enough light. Now it looks way better, and even if I believe the outcome will not be as abundant as it should be, I already have an improved plan for the next run ✌️

Hello there! As you can see, things are going pretty smooth here. All the plants look healthy, BUT... - The older Orange Sherbet suffered from growth stun after the defoliation, there's little I can do about it. I still hope that she will recover from it. - The younger Wedding Glue is suffering from week 3 of dwarfism, and at this point, I believe she will not be able to produce much. Maybe I damaged her roots when I installed the hydroponic system, we will never know. On the other hand, the other 2 plants are growing as scheduled, especially the younger Orange Sherbet: she is doing extremely well. I'll probably give an extra week to the other 2 plants, maybe two weeks, to see if they can recover. Disappointed, yes, but not surprised.

Hola! I noticed that the two plants (the older OS and the younger WG) were not growing as much as their sisters due to (most likely) some lack of light, so I decided to buy a second FECIDA LED earlier this week. It seems, at least for now, that it's positively affecting their growth. Also, we had very bad weather this week, and some algae started growing on the soil due to the high humidity -- after removing the algae to avoid spreading, I shut down the hydro system for a couple of days to make the soil dry properly. On the bright side, you can see the younger OS almost ready to be cut down: I believe that in one week or two she will reach her full potential, accordingly to the initial schedule.

Hello everyone. I was checking my plants, and I found those weird sacks. Are those seed sacks? Should I cut down my plant? Is my plant a hermaphrodite? As I am not sure what to do, I'm freaking out a little...

Swollen calyx, normal in growth. Nothing to worry about. Removing a bunch of them is not need, less stress equals a happier plant. That's what buds are, a bunch of calyx packed together. Good Luck!

Hello everyone! Since I was monitoring day by day the small nutrient burns on the leaves, I think I finally found out what's the issue: my nutrients don't work properly with the Hydro system, especially because they seem to be active for 48h top. So I decided to flush the plants for a couple of days while cleaning the water tank, and I found out that a lot of the "deactivated nutrient" (?) was on the bottom of the tank, which is probably the cause of the nutrient burns (in the last week, I cut down to 1/8 the dosage recommended, and still..) So, for now, I'll keep cleaning the water tank to be sure all the leftovers are gone, and I'll probably just add the bloom nutrient. After all, we're close to the finishing line, here. UPDATE: I went for flushing instead, water without nutrients, because I'm planning to cut the OS Younger by the end of this week. I still need to find a brand of nutrients that work fine with the hydro, suggestions are welcome.

Hello, can anyone explain why this is happening? I'm running out of ideas : Some infos: - No nutrients for the past 7 days, I'm flushing the plants for the upcoming harvest - Happening everywhere, not only at the top of the plant - Happening to other plants as well

Quite disappointed with the final result, 2.5 months of growing for like 2 weeks of smoking, best scenario🤣 But I can see a lot of room for improvements, so let's see what happens with the next cycle.

Still flushing the plants, i want to give them another couple of days to keep ripening. I'm definitely going to harvest them by the end of this week, probably Wednesday or Friday.

Hello guys, a post-harvesting question: while curing, i notice white spots on the weed, and I found out that some mold is starting to spread. What should I do? is it enough to remove the contaminated buds (idk if I will be able to locate them all) or should I throw everything?

You can try bud washing. The process is something like a water with peroxide bath, and then water rinses and hung to dry with good ventilation. There's guides out there that are more precise and can help you. Personally I'd just toss em though. Either way best of luck for the next time
