Should start blooming and stretch this week. Target: due to small box, i would like no more than 50cm for harvest ( highness of the box are 90cm, less 20cm pot and need 15cm for the light and fan) then i try to reduce the highness by lst and "push" the smaller grow for have a SOG before instal the net. FYI, first real time grow with light, and all the box are new. Real apprentice here ;-p feel free if you have advise! I move up the light at maximum (47cm from apex), and give a small rest of 12/12 during 2 days. I hope they can bring 15-20cm more during blooming phase.

Overwatering on N°1 at the beggining of this week, maybe due to a not perfect leveling of autopot easy2grow (v5 with 9mm piping) and also due to not enought perlite on the pot bottom (5cm perlite + 12cm 50/50 mix). For solve this, i turned off the system for 2 days and dilute nutrients in the reservoir. Quickly my babies look feel better ;). N°1 start well blooming but N°2 is a bit late if we compare. As red light have been turn on (now i m at 160w, for growing i only use 100w full spectrum cob). They bring 5cm in few days with increased space between knots. I also remove the main LST for let smaler secondary start free to grow. N°1 start well blooming but N°2 still late and continue to grow. Small dot on N°2, maybe due to not enought nutrients during past days/weeks... They don't look like moisture. Installation of the net for scrog. augmentation a bit the nutrients at the end of this week as suggested by comments, leaf support but the edge go on top.

Hi everyone, I have had problems with plant 1 since the start of the week. First, I was thinking a cal-mag deficiency but actually detected a garbage smell located on one side of the bottom of the jar. I add a start of root mold 😢, just during the first week of flowering. After researching how to fix this and asking some grower friends, I gave her a bath with 10% bleach for 15 min (after loading the perlite with fresh water). Clean everything and disinfect (of course, since I detected the smell and brown/dark roots, I removed it from the communicating water system and quarantined it). After a cleanse of the roots with fresh water, I add mycotrex, bacteria (tarantula) and voodoo juice to set up the whole organic base inside the pot. 24 hours later, the smells have disappeared and my little girl is better, I will carefully monitor the rooting and growth. For the next 24 hours, I will start feeding again to give the good mold time to develop before reintroducing phosphorus which can quickly kill the beneficial fungus. This security will surely affect the bud, but I choose to save a small harvest instead of losing everything...

This week, my box has shown its limits... For 2 weeks, I added growth nutrients in the food, (thank you @blackhatcompagny for all your advice, it was very valuable), so my baby #2 is stretching well, maybe too much like originally planned... :30% in 12 days during week 8&9. No. 1 is feeling much better since the small period of root mold 2 weeks ago. this bad passage seems to be over. Due to the distance too close to the light, I have to move it and give an angle with a new LST process on my grow, by the way, i switched off bloom booster light cause of white apex on N°2. On the other hand, I continue to gently defoliate my babies.

Hi all, N°1 bloom still growing slowly with a nice dark green color and start the 3 latest week before harvest. I will push her with overdrive for 2 weeks then flush N°2 are around 10 days late than N°1 on flowering stage. She grow well and look really nice now. Keep in touch 👍 ------ Due to different stage of flowering, both plant have been separate from communicant watering system. N°1 are on the last 3 week and need receive less feed with a final push of overdrive before flush (who should start end of next week). I also use lst for improve light on bud. N°2 need to grow more due to 8-10days retarded. She just start thricome production. See u later😉

Hi all Latest week for little girl, she is ready to cut, just more few days flush. She start a nice color and be fat. Don t expect too much with those one due to some root problem at the beggining of flowering stage and some stress in cycle of life. (edit: not too bad in fact ;D ) Harvest of my tiny baby, tree weight 185gr. some bud are heavy for her size, i can see the quality of advanced nutrients feed. Even if she had a lot of stress (remenber, at the begging i try to keep her as small as possible, challenge down for this one with the help of some roots problem... final size: 37cm Bigger watermelon still under feeding and feel better after drying a couple of days due to root mold also. She will need 2 or 3 weeks more. I will had for her some rhino from AN for boost self defense before final run. i apply a lst for increase light on bud. Thanks for watching and feel free to comments.

Good run, 1 small with 30g dry and 1 fat with 83 dry.(total =113g) Did a lot of mistake because it was my first grow and i learn a lot with they. Meet some trouble of over watering and roots mold. Bud look nice with touch of purple, smell it s not strong with green and fruity sentence. Harvest need much more time as expected. Happy & proud of her.
