( ˘ ͜ʖ˘ ) Colombian Jack

Week 1 Day 1 | 21/04/2022: The first seedling came out, the one that had a bigger root! I'm just thinking I should let the root grow bigger because it really gives them the advantage at the beginning. I will name this one Jackie 😊 No signs of the other seedling yet Day 2 | 22/04/2022: Yaay the second seedling popped out of the soil today, but I didn't take a picture.. Didn't take that long for this one to follow - I will name her Coco **😊** Day 3 | 23/04/2022: Girls are looking great, I watered them with just about 500ml of water with 2ml/L of Piranha for the roots - will be giving them this for the first two weeks Day 4 | 24/04/2022: I noticed the temperature in the tent is really high, considering it's not that hot outside. It's been at 28 degrees today and I managed to cool it down to 27 by just leaving the tent door open for a bit, but still it's very unusual for the tent to be this hot when it's not summer yet... Day 5 | 25/04/2022: I watered the girls with 500ml of water and 2ml/L Piranha and started giving them BioGrow today (1ml/L) Day 6 | 26/04/2022: No time today Day 7 | 27/04/2022: Jackie and Coco are looking great! Second pair of leaves on both is looking very healthy. I will water them tomorrow just because the soil is still moist under. But I will start giving them 1.5L starting tomorrow instead of 500ml I've been doing so far

Week 2 Day 8 | 28/04/2022: For both of the girls, I watered them with 1.5L of water with 3ml of Piranha and 1.5ml of BioGrow Day 9 | 29/04/2022: Wow, they are both looking great, both of them already have tiny leaves along the stem! Luckily the temperature of the tent has also decreased by 2 degrees, I guess because I gave the girls more water so that also increased the humidity and reduced the temperature so I'm happy :D Day 10 | 30/04/2022: I'm really happy the temperature in the tent has been decreasing more, now it's at 25 which is much better - humidity is at 50% so I'm very happy that it's not terribly hot anymore. They are growing up so fast! Day 11 | 01/05/2022: I watered the girls today with the same nutrients as last time - 1.5L of water with 3ml of Piranha and actually increase BioGrow to 2ml (1.33ml/L). They are looking so great, Jackie even looks like she is ready for training next week! Day 12 | 02/05/2022: Woah how did Jackie grow so fast in one day! Even the leaves by the stem are getting quite big. I will train her probably at the beginning of Week 3 because I'm still waiting for some new bonsai training wires (the ones I have always cut the stems) Day 13 | 03/05/2022: Jackie is getting so nice and big it's like she's having a growth spurt :D Already the leaves span the size of the whole pot! Maybe as the roots are growing they are reaching some nutrient reserves in the soil Day 14 | 04/05/2022: It's the end of week 2 for Jackie and Coco and they've both made such amazing progress! I will start training Jackie in week 3 (hopefully day after tomorrow). I watered both of them with 3ml of Piranha (which will be the last dose until flower) and 2ml of BioGrow (which I will increase from the next watering)

Week 3 Day 15 | 05/05/2022: The new garden wires (for bonsai trees!) have finally arrived! I've been looking forward to training Jackie so much, she's looking very healthy and this growth is amazing (even Coco is quite a lot smaller). I tried to expose as much of the new growth as possible with LST and of course I will be tightening up the training every few days. I think for Coco I will wait for another few days to train her because even her main stem is much smaller Day 16 | 06/05/2022: No time today Day 17 | 07/05/2022: Was going to water them today but the soil is still quite moist and I wanted to start training Coco tomorrow (and train Jackie) so I will leave both to tomorrow morning! Day 18 | 08/05/2022: Finally Coco is big enough to be trained, I did the same method as with Jackie - I just use thick wires (made for bonsai training) and dig them into the soil rather than using the holes on the pot because I feel like this gives more control. They are both looking really good - I adjusted Jackie's training and tucked away the big fan leaves although I might cut them off soon. I also watered them with 3ml of BioGrow and no more Piranha - will just keep increasing the BioGrow bit by bit until flower Day 19 | 09/05/2022: The girls look like they need some training but unfortunately I didn't have time to do that today - will tighten up their training tomorrow! Day 20 | 10/05/2022: Did some training on both of the girls today - they really needed it! Might need to tighten it up again tomorrow since it seems they are very strong against these wires 😄 Also I wasn't going to cut off leaves at first but I really tried my best to tuck away the main fan leaf (on both girls) that was covering the entire canopy but it just couldn't bend in the way I needed it to. So I've cut off a fan leaf each and there is so much more exposed to the light now. Day 21 | 11/05/2022: What a great end of Week 3, the girls made such amazing progress! Their leaves are looking really healthy and no signs of any issues so far. I will probably have to do a light defoliation some time next week. And I also watered them today with 3ml of BioGrow

Week 4 Day 22 | 12/05/2022: Tightened up the training on both girls today and also took off a fan leaf off Jackie since it was blocking 3 "bud sites" and I couldn't pin it out of the way. So funny though because there are like 4 fan leaves stacked away on top of each other :D I will have to defoliate very soon! Coco also got some training and is much more exposed to the sun now Day 23 | 13/05/2022: Girls are doing great today as always, they look really healthy and making amazing progress 👌 Day 24 | 14/05/2022: Watered the girls today with just 3ml of BioGrow but I think I will increase it more from the next watering because they are doing really well. Also it always looks so funny when they are being trained and there is just so much growth everywhere that they look a bit beat up 😅 It's okay though, they'll look normal as they start to stretch out Day 25 | 15/05/2022: Trained the girls today and also did some light defoliation, just a few leaves each but these fan leaves were just in the way of new growth. I also really love this part of the training when all the stems start to take their place! And I guess they will be ready to switch to flower soon Day 26 | 16/05/2022: Wow the girls are looking great, except I saw something weird on one of Coco's leaves. It's like discoloration but only on one side of the leaf, and that part of the leaf was being covered by another leaf (I only noticed accidentally). No other leaves on the tent on any of the girls are showing this so I'm really not sure what it is... 🤔 Day 27 | 17/05/2022: Girls are growing into a very nice canopy shape! I wanted to water them today but read a comment from someone that I might be watering them too much so I will do every 4 days now instead of 3. Day 28 | 18/05/2022: Watered the girls with an increased 3ml/L of BioGrow. Such great progress for week 4! I think I will leave them to veg for another week and then switch to flower Also I'm going on a short holiday but will be back just in time for the next watering in 4 days, so there will not be many updates in the next week

Day 33 | 23/05/2022: I got back home really late today so I didn't have time to take pictures but I quickly watered all the girls because they were looking quite rough after not having water for 5 days 😅 I watered both with 4.5ml of BioGrow just before going to bed so they should recover overnight! Day 34 | 24/05/2022: Girls are looking better than yesterday and I removed a bunch of the dry and yellowing leaves at the bottom. I also tightened up the training probably for the last time before the switch to flower - which I decided to do at the end of next week to let one of the Amnesi-K Lemon girls catch up just a bit more Day 35 | 25/05/2022: The girls' leaves were looking a bit droopy today and they look like they need water but I only watered them the day before yesterday and the soil is not overly dry so I will give them until tomorrow I'm not loving that the canopy of both of them is a bit all over the place and I didn't manage to make the bud sights at the same level - although it's working really nicely for the Amnesi-K Lemon girls... must be because the strain is a bit bushier

Week 6 Day 36 | 26/05/2022: Omg all the girls in the tent looked so sad today 😭 All the leaves were super floppy and wilted, it was a very sad sight. I watered all of them with 1,5L of Water and around 5.5ml of BioGrow just to give them a nice boost before switching to flower at the end of this week! Day 37 | 27/05/2022: Oh wow it's like day and night between how the girls look today and yesterday. All of the leaves are pointing straight up which is a great sign to see. All the leaves are looking quite healthy as well so I'm sure excited to switch them to flower in 5 days Day 38 | 28/05/2022: No time today Day 39 | 29/05/2022: Wow the girls are looking so thirsty again, so I decided not to wait another day and watered them today. This will also be the last Veg watering and I will significantly reduce the BioGrow from next watering and also start giving the girls BioBloom. Day 40 | 30/05/2022: It's so crazy how different the girls look after being watered, it's making me think that maybe the water is not being retained for long in the pots... hmm something to think about. Also idk how I didn't realise before but Coco is the smallest in the tent, she's quite a lot smaller than Jackie (about half the size) and even smaller than the other girl that started more than a week later than the others.. also super weird Day 41 | 31/05/2022: There is definitely something wrong with the soil because once again the girls are looking droopy, will check it out and do some pH tests tomorrow before watering. But tomorrow will also be the last day of Veg and I will start with the Flower nutrients as well. I think the girls are both ready! Day 42 | 01/06/2022: Yaay finally today the girls are being switched into Flower! I switched the lights to 12/12 in the evening and watered them with flower nutrients. I gave the girls 3ml of BioGrow, and 1ml of BioBloom per 1L. I also measured the pH and it was just under 6 so watering issue seems to not be to do with pH... it might be the pots themselves. They have a lot of holes and because the soil dries out, the water sometimes goes through and into the saucer at the bottom (they get filled up quite frequently)..

Week 7 Day 43 | 02/06/2022: No time today Day 44 | 03/06/2022: Wow the girls are looking so great but no signs of pistils just yet. Need to do a defoliation soon as well, probably mid-week Day 45 | 04/06/2022: No time today - wanted to water the girls but decided to wait another day Day 46 | 05/06/2022: The girls are looking better now with the watering issues, even after 4 days it seems like they are wilted but not as bad/drastic as before which is a good sign. Gave them 3ml of BioGrow, 3ml of BioBloom, and 1.5ml of TopMax Day 47 | 06/06/2022: Defoliated the girls today and they look so bare now 😂 I tried to leave the fan leaves if they weren't in the way of any bud sites. Also, on each of the girls I cut off one stem from the very bottom that didn't manage to grow much so it's just below the canopy. They are both quite bushy so I got to cut off a lot and they are still looking healthy! Day 48 | 07/06/2022: So nice to see all the bud sites exposed after the defoliation (although they are still quite bushy). I'm just super happy they are healthy! Day 49 | 08/06/2022: Soo, yesterday on one of the Lemon girls, I saw the dreaded "claw" and now Jackie has it too! Then it definitely means I am feeding them too much nitrogen - I will decrease it from next watering. Speaking of which, it was supposed to be today but I feel like I should wait for tomorrow because the soil is not fully dry yet

Week 8 Day 50 | 09/06/2022: Today I finally got the answer that I needed - the reason why the girls are wilting after a few days seems to be because of the pots... Jackie is looking fine (she's in a clothpot), while the other 3 are not looking good... So it was because of the pots in the end, I think I'll need to look for new cloth pots in that case. Now I'm just curious about the yield comparison between all of them Since the girls clearly needed it :D I watered them today. Gave them much less BioGrow (1ml/L), a bit more BioBloom (3ml/L), and TopMax (1ml/L) Day 51 | 10/06/2022: No time today Day 52 | 11/06/2022: The girls are looking fantastic and the bud sights are becoming more mature already! super happy with how they are looking Day 53 | 12/06/2022: Watered the girls today with 4.5ml of BioBloom, 1.5ml of BioGrow, and 1.5ml of TopMax. Will also defoliate the girls again towards the end of the week because Jackie is so bushy again :D Day 54 | 13/06/2022: Wow I was actually so surprised when I opened the tent today, all the girls look so happy after the nutrients yesterday! Day 55 | 14/06/2022: I did a super crazy defoliation for all the girls today 🙊 They look like skeletons now!!! I just saw so much growth at the bottom just being covered by the leaves, and I think defoliation during the early stages of flower is good for yields anyway. They still look so funny though Day 56 | 15/06/2022: No time today

Week 9 Day 57 | 16/06/2022: It is awfully hot today, 30 degrees in the tent today  And I have the lights off completely during the whole day it's crazy. The next few days will be even worse so might need to water the girls sooner next time. Poor girls were so thirsty today, the soil was completely dry. I watered them with 1.5L of cold water with 1.5ml of BioGrow, 4.5ml of BioBloom, and 1.5ml of TopMax. Day 58 | 17/06/2022: It was 30 degrees in the tent again but the girls look really happy after the watering it seems. There are so many flowers, and I hope that they will grow big enough! Day 59 | 18/06/2022: It was still super hot today but the girls are looking good! The soil is getting dry though so I will definitely need to water them tomorrow. Also the canopy on Jackie is so flat it's amazing Day 60 | 19/06/2022: Thankfully the temperature dropped today so it was about 26.5 degrees in the tent, not too bad. I still decided to water the girls today with a bit more BioBloom - 6ml, and 1.5ml of BioGrow, and 1.5ml of TopMax Day 61 | 20/06/2022: The flowers are looking great so far, already seeing some trichomes appearing on the buds and the leaves Day 62 | 21/06/2022: As much as the girls' buds are looking good, compared to the start of the week it looks like they haven't made much progress, only the leaves grow but the flowers' sizes are basically the same :( I think it's because of all the heat recently, the tent is 30 degrees again today so it might be because of that... I will look into an in-tent AC and see if it's worth it Day 63 | 22/06/2022: Too hot today again 😭 The girls really needed that watering. But now I'm definitely gonna buy more cloth pots - just look at how much better Jackie looks before the watering. Same water volume, same exact nutrients, same environment. Yet all the other girls in the tent are wilted and Jackie is looking super. Anyway :D Gave them 6ml of BioBloom, 1.5ml of BioGrow, and increased 3ml of TopMax to get those buds going!

Week 10 Day 64 | 23/06/2022: Girls are looking very strong and looks like the flowers are getting bigger and some trichomes are developing Day 65 | 24/06/2022: They are so bushy again! I'm not sure if I should do another defoliation and consider it a mid-flower defoliation, because I think the girls will need another 4 weeks it looks like.. hmm.. Day 66 | 25/06/2022: All of the girls look quick bushy along the stem which is making be hopeful about the bud sizes, but looking back at last week, they've made quite good progress! I wanted to water today but the temperature wasn't too bad (26 degrees) and the pots were still not light enough so I'll do it tomorrow Day 67 | 26/06/2022: Watered the girls today, they looked a bit droopy again. It wasn't too hot the past couple of days but maybe I should just water every 3 days anyway. Gave them 4.5ml BioBloom, 4.5ml of TopMax and 1.5ml of BioGrow Day 68 | 27/06/2022: No time today Day 69 | 28/06/2022: Trichomes on these girls are looking great! Day 70 | 29/06/2022: Really good end to the week for the girls, their flowers are looking good! Although I am moving in 4 weeks so they better be done before then 😅 Anyway, watered them with 4.5ml of BioBloom, 4.5ml of TopMax and 1.5ml of BioGrow and cold water to cool down the tent

Week 11 Day 71 | 30/06/2022: The girls always look so much better after a water, it makes me so relieved. I should also probably clean up the bottoms a little bit (lollipop), will probably do it tomorrow Day 72 | 01/07/2022: I cleaned up the girls a little bit today - long overdue but it should still help in the last few weeks. At least the flowers are looking good! Day 73 | 02/07/2022: Watered the girls today with 5ml of BioBloom, 5ml of TopMax, and 1ml of BioGrow Day 74 | 03/07/2022: The trichome development has been so fast recently, the girls are looking better and better! But I really hope they will be ready to cut down in 4 weeks exactly, that's the move out date 😅 Day 75 | 04/07/2022: The flowers are maturing so quickly! Day 76 | 05/07/2022: Watered the girls today with 6ml of BioBloom, 5ml of TopMax, and 1ml of BioGrow. Jackie is looking great 😍 Actually she's the biggest one in the tent, with the biggest buds, and just so coincidentally the only one in the cloth pot.. 😅 Can't wait to see the weight differences in the end Day 77 | 06/07/2022: So many trichomes on these girls! Coco is looking much better after the watering, wondering if I should do another defoliation or if that would be bad for them now...

Week 12 Day 78 | 07/07/2022: No time today Day 79 | 08/07/2022: Watered the girls today again with 6ml of BioBloom, 6ml of TopMax, and 1ml of BioGrow. Increasing the TopMax because probably next week or week after I'll start with flushing Day 80 | 09/07/2022: No time today Day 81 | 10/07/2022: No time today Day 82 | 11/07/2022: Coco's leaves are looking very waxy and dark recently, I feel like it might be a nitrogen toxicity symptom. I watered today without BioGrow, so 6ml of BioBloom and 6ml of TopMax. Also removed a few fan leaves that were in the way of buds Day 83 | 12/07/2022: Ahh the girls are looking so great, I'm very happy about the flowers so far, although I will have to cut them down in 16 days from now! Need to fatten up those buds Day 84 | 13/07/2022: No time today

## Week 13 Day 85 | 14/07/2022: The girls are looking great and should actually be ready for harvest soon! The hairs are turning orange and the trichomes are becoming cloudy! Although Coco looks a lot smaller than Jackie, I think the harvest will be about half :/ Day 86 | 15/07/2022: So I watered the girls today but I did it in the morning when the lights were off and then was out all evening so I didn't actually get any pictures. Either way, this was their last watering with nutrients and I gave them a bit extra so it was 7ml of BioBloom, 7ml of TopMax and no more BioGrow. The next watering will be a flush and I'll have to take them down in exactly two weeks! Day 87 | 16/07/2022: No time today Day 88 | 17/07/2022: No time today - busy weekend Day 89 | 18/07/2022: The flush is starting today! (although I did add 6ml of TopMax for the last boost, but no BioBloom) Coco seems like the least happy, there is definitely some nutrient imbalance but too late now. Jackie looks like she will give a nice harvest through, and I looked at their trichomes through a magnifying glass and they are mostly cloudy so that's a good sign, they are ready for harvest soon! Day 90 | 19/07/2022: The buds are looking great! So happy they are fattening up. About 10 days left now and I think the girls are ready! Although it was very hot in the tent today - 34 degrees... 💀 so I hope this doesn't stunt their last stretch too much Day 91 | 20/07/2022: I decided to water the girls one day early today because it's just been so hot the last 3 days and the tent has been between 31 and 34 degrees during lights on for the last few days as well... So I just gave them cold water and nothing else :)

Week 14 Day 92 | 21/07/2022: I think these girls are ready! But I will still wait until the end of the week to cut them down together with the other two. Although I am thinking of cutting down one of two stems to start drying some early.. I'll see Day 93 | 22/07/2022: No time today Day 94 | 23/07/2022: Watered the girls today with just 1.5L of water. The temperatures have dropped thankfully so it's not too hot for them now. I've also decided to cut down one stem from Jackie to start drying it early. Since we're gonna be moving I wanted a little bit to dry beforehand. Day 95 | 24/07/2022: The girls definitely look like they need to be harvested right now. Just a few days left! Day 96 | 25/07/2022: The leaves have gone purple! I think that's because they are way over-ripe ;D Although I must say the buds are more on the smaller side... Also I decided not to water them anymore so they can dry up a bit before harvest in 3 days! Day 97 | 26/07/2022: Day 98 | 27/07/2022: Day 99 | 28/07/2022: Today was the big day! (for the girls and for myself) So the only thing I did was tidied up the foliage by removing all the fan leaves, cutting the girls at the base and handing them in the tent. I find that the remaining leaves really help keep the moisture at a higher level and they tend to smell less like hay. I will be leaving the girls to dry for about 10 days, and then I always put them into glass jars to cure! I would have ideally harvested these girls earlier but maybe this will make it a super strong smoke. Can't wait to smoke (vape) them!

These girls were really easy to grow but a bit sensitive to water levels, which I think is why Coco didn't grow as much as Jackie. But Jackie had an amazing harvest and overall they were very resistant to the heat of the summer
