Day 8: Had some troubles tonight with humidity dropping to 45% and temps going to 29C. Had it fixed by adding a hanged wet towel inside with an oscillated fan pointing to it. Humidity raised to 65% and temps are somewhere around 26/27 again. (Lights on) Just started with the feeding. Gave her 1ml/L of Alg-a-mic for now. Will start with veg nuts next week.

Just a quick question about my LST: By checking my last 3 photo uploads do you guys it’s working good? I’m not sure since it’s the first time growing and using LST. I’m quite confused with so many leafs popping up and I’m not sure what’s the next step. Just wait?

looks fine, next step is to adjust every few days while paying attention not cracking a stem.

Having big troubles controlling humidity. Can’t lower it from 55/60% due to the bad weather outside Day25: The plant seems healthy and growing well. No problems so far. The LST also seems to be working, at least for now, I did a lot of mistakes on the training since it was my first time. Day28: Adjusted the LST again. I still feel I’m doing something wrong but I think she is good The plant still looks healthy. No signs of flower still

Started the week with some problems due to underwatering. I was giving her more or less 300/400 ml per 2 days but it seems the lower roots were probably struggling to get water. Not sure what happened but I will start watering more often. Leafs were really sad when I first checked her. They are starting to feel better after a couple of hours (pic of the first day of week 5) Also noticed really slow growth, but, I guess it was due to the underwater thing. I have also removed all the LST stuff since I was not really felling it. I will just let her grow for some days and probably add a SOG net next week. I see some signs of flowering already 🌻 #31 It seems she’s recovering well from the underwater thing. Hopefully she will go wild from now on!

Week 7 - stopped with the LST. I have also removed some dead leafs at the bottom of the plant. Everything seems to be going just fine until now. Day 45: removed call-mag from the nutrients solution. Also, a big heat wave just came and I’m dealing with 29/30 C temps, so I have decided to raise humidity to the 70s

Week 8: Having some issues with my lower leaves at the moment , but the rest of the plant is really good. We are also being hit by a big heat wave in here , temps outside reaching 40C, but I’m managing it well for now. I will probably have big issues when the drying comes - open to ideas 💡

Nothing major to report/say. I’m basically just waiting for the harvest time. Not sure how much is still missing. I will be away from home on the week 13/14. Let’s hope I can harvest it before that. I can’t see deficiencies - just feeding with bloom nuts now and I will probably stop feeding on the last 2 weeks

Week 10: Just added a bit of cal-mag to the solution. Not sure how much time is left to harvest. I wanted to stop feeding on the last two weeks. I will be away for 1 week in about 3 Weeks from now - not sure how I will deal with this. I will probably need to harvest it down before the time - Any ideas will be appreciated 💡

Plant is looking good , my only concern is the big heat wave coming on the next weeks - temps will reach 43C outside. Apart from that - leafs are starting to fade as they are supposed to. I’m checking trichomes daily - currently with a mixture of clear and milky. I will start using just water from now one until i harvest the plant - witch should take place in 13 to 15 days hopefully.

Harvest day as come. Plant still had no problems , and everything went good. Unfortunately, my city is under 46C right now and my harvest will be pretty much affected. Can’t lower temps from 30C in my drying tent. I guess it was just bad luck. Let’s hope I can still take some grams from it. I will update as soon as the drying process is over. It won’t take much time with all this heat.

Unfortunately, my city is under 43C right now and my harvest will be pretty much affected. Can’t lower temps from 30C in my drying tent. I guess it was just bad luck. Let’s hope I can still take some grams from it. I will update as soon as the drying process is over. It won’t take much time with all this heat. —— As expected buds dried in 3 days, I will try to make a good cure because I can control the temps now since the jars are in a small portable freezer with some ice in (maintaining 20/22C) O also added some boveda inside the containers. Hopefully I will still save some of the quality.

That first picture is beautiful 😍 For drying i can only recommend to buy a tent and a filter. I dried my buds in a dark room for years whitout filter but the smell is too crazy. Every time i walked trough the hallway i already smelled it 😬😁 No more risks with neighbors and law. One small investment but u will feel so much safer. Happy growing buddy 🙏🙂

Clutchcommented3 years ago
@rimzytfa, maybe u can keep a room completely dark and no open door or window for a few days. That always helps in summer for me when i need to sleep during the day (nightshift worker here) and temps are too high. And if a ventilator is spinning in the tent u might be able to drop down till 20°Celsius. No AC here either so i gotta improvise too haha

rimzytfacommented3 years ago
@Clutch, hey men!! Well I can use my current tent for that , I have a filter inside. Problem will be the temps, I can’t lower it from 27C at the moment, with lights off. I have no AC

Looking fantastic man 😍 Some big colas are on their way🙏 She looks very healthy, she must like the nutrients. Last year my Jack Herer automatic didn't handle nutrients that well so im very cautious now. Happy growing buddy 😉

Congratulations on the harvest buddy. Sucks that it will be too warm for drying 😐 keep the room completely dark and all doors closed. Only way to keep the heat out
