First time, that it works. I have tried with the same seed earlier, but most probably she did not liked that I gave her my over alkalic (7-8) tap water and died in her seed shell right after she saw the light. Now I try to regulate it close to 6,5, more - than + after I left it on open air to evaporate chlorine. In this small cup there is no batmix. lightmix 4,5, perlite 1,5, coco 2 in ratios.

On the day 7, I got my lamp, closet, fan etc going, and moved her into the new place. day 10, I transplanted it. I should have done it sooner, i guess since I saw many roots when I cut the plastic cup. In the 15l fabric pot there is a bit of washed batmix, but more at the bottom.

Transplanted her, late. started to bent it a bit for later, probably doesnt worth anything. At the end of the week shes straight again. I switched off the lights for 2 hours, but apart from that, light is constantly working. I hope she will grow more roots

So after a very late transplant, I will try to give less water to the center (to the soil of the previous pot) and more to the sides. I want her to make roots all over the pot. not sure if its possible. She looks healthy btw, if I fuck around her leaves, my fingers smells a bit. d18 Im watering with the terra grow now. Not a whole 1ml per l, Im gonna measure out 20 drops, so it will be less, cuz this stuff is denser then water, but she still has a lot of unhabited soil under, which ensures 2 weeks of nutritients according to plagron. Im not sure how should I do lst, because shes growing a lot horizontally, but nearly nothing vertically. I guess the lamp is at the correct height, sure, if I would put it higher, she would stretch, but do I want that now? Yes, this is a question. She will grow like a short bush, and thats nice, but wont this affect her training manageability for the next weeks?

Im not planning to make lamp-plant dist. bigger, also dont want to gave up on the 24 per day light feed. She will grow like a bush, and thats nice but wont this affect her training manageability for the next weeks? If the folia remains this dense, she might not appreciate bondage

I don't like doing 24hrs with with lights on because after a few weeks they seem to get stressed put because plants need a few hours rest period. The next 2 weeks your going to start seeing her stretch a little, that's probably the best time to train this strain with LST. Hope this helps

Broke the main stem because of an accident when tried to tie it down, broke it entirely so I had to say goodbye. Also broke two other important stems, but I saved them, after 2 days, I removed the clip, and now looks like they are staying. I gave water only two times this week, 1,5l first and 2 litres later. I don't know how should I set up this vipar led, I would like to see some more stretching, maybe the problem is only that Im too strict about the lst. But Im planning to change my lights also, because I think Its wont be sufficient for my 70x40cm (2x1ft) grow. Dont know If I should wait for the summer sale at electric sky for a 180, or get the spider sf2000 right now. on the last day of the week I got a small usb fan, now everything is too cold a bit. The pic of the thermal cam shows it accurately. Now Im waiting for the flowering, If I still dont see any traces of flowering at the next feeding, I will give only the same stuff for veg. But I think that I should see something soon. For gods sake, I will dig out the broken stem from the compost and dry it, just in case this takes infinite time. I hope she doesn't have her bloom triggered by vertical growth, because then this will take more time then a photo. I should learn to use my lamp maybe.

I have read that my vipar is not the very best for bloom. I want to encourage and support the flowering with my philips 50w 4000k floodlight, what do you think, will this make a worthy difference? (Until I get a new all arounder light)

It is not a great solution (a quality grow light would be my first choice) but it could work. It probably would help using as is. The color temperature is in the range for flower. I might consider removing the light from it's housing and running a bare emitter for maximum efficiency since the glass absorbs part of the spectrum. Out of the housing might also cast light over a broader area so you can hang the light closer to your plants. --- I know throwing money is always best but I saw a noticeable improvement when I stopped using burple lights and got quality, white LED grow lights. As a side benefit it became much easier to monitor plant health under white light.

She recovered after a late transplant, amputation and 2 other traumas of her stems. I gave her way too much p-k because of accident, but still, looks healthy. would have growed a lot more if I treat her right. strain sisters will come few weeks later, but with better care. I will be curious, whats gonna be the difference in size and yield.

I put her outdoor because 2 stronger ones will occupy the space. there were some minor rust spots, gave a little bit of flush with calmag, now I dont see them anymore. Would be nice, to have this harvested in 2 weeks, I will search for some place with even more light. or cut some trees.

Pollinated. the seeds are ~0.1mm³ if i break their tiny house. the buds are like my finger, not any thicker. Pistils are turning orange. Will the buds grow any bigger? Will the potency increase just a tiny little bit?
