Day 58.
The flowering phase is approaching.
After the last defoliation, tie down and remove individual shoots, i just let them grow and recover for a week.
They have been trained enough.
They all have a nice, wide canopy, where the many shoots are well distributed on equal height. So later no single colas run ahead towards the lamp and all get enough light.
When working with the plants, the fingers are already quite easily sticky and the smell also increases.
Afghan Kush*Skunk and Euforia are the biggest. Almost 40 cm.
Nova OG and ImperiumX are the widest with the densest crowns. In addition, especially with Nova wide and strong leaves. Typical Indica.
It is very nice to see how the main branches have deformed by training and have grown in serpentine horizontal.
On the pictures, plants look smaler, than they are, because of the huge 14l pots.
What happens next?
I will now let the ladies grow about a week to make some height, so that the highest are about 50 cm.
Then I will remove the lower leaves, useless "popcorn buds" stems and cut out huge shadow leaves towards the top.
Then 4-5 days rest and

It will go into bloom.

Nova in particular can still use some height. Since she is indica, I don't expect a strong stretch.
According to the other grow diaries, the sativas Euforia and ImperiumX could not even double their height. That would then be 80-90 cm. Would fit.
If everything goes well.
I will illuminate the plants all around with LEDs, so that even further down still beautiful colas can develop and then i will probadly harvest the plant
step by step. But it is still far away from now. We will see what happens.
I was reading a lot about the different light spectrums and theyยดre influence on the different life phases of plants.
So if you iluminate plants during their grow phase with blue and coldwhite light, you stimulate them to grow dense, stay smaler, with a wide Crown and many new stems, and huge strong leaves.
Thats exactly what happened. Now the base is very fine, they need to rise up, before flowering phase.
This is what red and warmwhite light does. It stimulates the plants to rise up.
So i put out some blue light and increase the red and warmwhite light.
I measured the Power and for now i come about 80W LED+ my main lamp the Sanlight EVO 3 - 60.
Remember: The selfmade LED modules mainly should lead the plants to a certain direction and iluminate them all around to grow even in the edges of my tent.
They can not substitute the main growing lamp. And until now it works very fine.
Pictures Day 58.
Unfortunately, I only had an old, poor camera for the pictures. The beauty and color don't come across.
I will deliver new ones.
Added new Pictures. . Day 60.
To show how beauty and healthy they are, i put them out in the sun to shoot photos.

Tried to buy these strains, Anesia took the money and DID NOT send anything! Pity it ended like this not for the money but because I really wanted to grow IMPERIUM X
