Day 22: I noticed that roots are coming out from the surface. Probably light overwatering on day 21 when I was adding CalMag. Day 23: very small pre-flowers on 4th node are visible. I’m so happy now! Added a layer of perlite to protect the roots that were visible. Installed DIY Carbon Filter to keep the smell inside. Seems working. Day 24: applied 1,5 ml/l PH Perfect Micro, Grow, Bloom, 1 ml/l T.A. Calcium Magnesium and 5 ml/l T.A. Seaweed. Used tap water this time, so reduced CalMag dosage a bit to avoid Calcium excess. Had to water it heavily (4L) to get some runoff (last time there was no water runoff at all). After 3L there was minor draining, then I added one more liter of solution and finally had 1L runoff. Next time will try 3,5L. Started LST, but the internodes are too short and I was able to bend only the lowest branches. Increased light distance to 40 cm and dimmed from 75% to 60% to have some stretching. Day 26: raised the light to 50 cm, dimmed to 50% to increase stretching. Removed two lower leaves that were damaged with Ca deficiency to stress the plant a little bit, switch it to survival mode. Hope this will speed up formation of pre-flowers. Going to continue LST in couple of days. Minor Ca deficiency symptoms are visible on middle leaves. Next time more CalMag. Day 27: almost no stretching noticed, although height increased from 18 to 22 cm in 4 days. Got back to 60% light at 50 cm. Only few pre-flowers are visible, slow transition to the flowering stage. The experiment with DIY filter was nice, and it was doing a great job keeping the smell inside, but I bought and installed a commercial one to keep it as secure as possible. Day 28: soil is a bit moist on the surface, 5th day since the last watering. Maybe tomorrow I will water again with nutrients and Fulvic acid. Fan leaves getting bigger and bigger. I don't want to defoliate but maybe this could help to speed up the transition to flowering. Still just a few preflowers on 6th and 7th nodes. I'm a bit worried. Maybe just need to be patient and calm down. Green mass is impressing, but I want to see more preflowers actually 😟 I think the light was too intense, so dimmed back to 50% at 50 cm. The only stretching I can notice is the side branches and growing fan leaves, which cover the lower branches almost completely...
