Mimosa Cake - My First Grow

One is growing more than the other, with the same nutrients and water, the smaller one has small light green spots on the leaves, I believe it was too much watering. From the 5th day on, I started to water less and am waiting for the results next week. The fertilizer that I use does not need to calibrate PH and PPM.

Growing bigger and faster, it is producing a faint smell from the leaves (which I love). About the spots in one of the plants, it seems to be genetic, it is also having some anomalies, not growing some fingers of the leaves, in the picture you can see, I don't know why this happens, but I believe that it will not interfere in the final production ( I hope so ). Apart from this appearance problem, they both seem to grow happy and healthy. I am considering whether to do LST, it will all depend on how big they will be in 7 days.

I had some problems during the week, my fertilizer was not meeting the needs of the plant, causing nitrogen deficiency, I bought ph and ppm meters, ph was at 6.5 but ppm was below 150 with the recommended 2ml of fertilizer. I had to add 15ml to reach 550 ppm, this large amount brought the ph down to 4.8, I regulated to 6.5 and watered. They responded well, the new leaves have more chlorophyll and no burns from overfertilization. Other than that, the plants grow very well and are very healthy. Next week they should start the pre-flowering. I was going to do LST but due to the nitrogen deficiency they had I decided not to do anything and let them grow as they would in nature. Note: The leaves have a wonderful sweet passion fruit smell, looking forward to smell the flowers.

After the problems with the fertilizer, I bought other organic and mineral fertilizers to add, took the ppm measurements and put in 500 to 700 ppm. I made the mistake of not noticing that when the ppm gauge exceeds 1000 it marks x10 on the side and I ended up overfertilizing in one of the waterings during the week. The ppm output was 3200 and 2400. I thought about doing the flush but I waited to see how they were going to react, some new leaves had the tips a little yellow but that was all, so I decided to water them with just water (today), I did the measurements, and the ppm output was 2080 and 1200, they ate an impressive 1200 ppms, which is very good. The next watering is water again, and the next time I will come back with the fertilizers. Today they are very happy, looking very healthy. I am just a first time sailor, but these genetics seem to be very strong in my opinion, they recovered well and never stopped growing. Last week I said I wasn't going to do any pruning and LST, but I had to do it in order to have more light distribution, the bottom leaves were with little light, but I removed only the big leaves of 7 tips and the ties just to open space. They are very big, 25cm and the first pistils started to come out today, I hope they will fit in my greenhouse. I hope I am doing a good job, am I? See ya, next week.

Again I had to make small LST to distribute the light and keep the pre-flowers at the same height. They are apparently healthy, and growing a lot, taking up the whole greenhouse. Today I watered them with fertilizer, next time I'll just water, measuring the ppms. ( Watering every 3 days. )

Flowers, and more flowers, it is amazing how fast they grow at this stage. I am having to do defoliations and LST because of space, these genetics grow so much and I have seen their full potential with the amount of flowers. Happy with their development and with all the learning I have acquired, I believe I still have about 70 more days until harvest.

Greetings growers, flowers continue to grow, some branches below stretching, the height remains at 20" because I am keeping it at LST. Defoliations now only on very large leaves, which have been few. The temperature has dropped a bit this week, which is good. PH started to regulate at 5.8 and PPM's increasing about 100/150 per week. I bought another LED with lm301h diodes, and with watts of 120 to improve, should be up by the 3rd week of bloom. When I made the LST a little stronger I ended up bending some branches, without wanting to do the supercropping, and they reacted well. So far, no deficiencies or pests. Very happy with the results, a lot of learning as always. And the most important: IT STARTED TO SNOW, hahaha what a joy. Going forward, I believe I will have another 4 weeks of blooming.

They are starting to put on weight, I hope they get really big. My 120w LED will arrive this week, should give a nice upgrade for the girls. I had to lower the PPM's because the soil already had enough nutrients so I lowered the doses. Tricomes a little translucent still, I believe I have 1-2 more weeks until they become milky, then I will do the flush and 2 more weeks to harvest.

Similar week to the last one, with no change other than gaining more weight. Looking at trichomes every day, some average 60% milky and 40% clear. In some spots I can see amber like on sugar leaves. When I have 10% amber in the buds I will make the flush. I believe in 10 days according to the development of trichomes that I have seen.

Everything is going well, I started to give only water, and it will be like this until the harvest. Presenting exotic colors at this moment, very beautiful, and the smell, my friend, what a wonderful smell. I can't wait to taste it.

Proud of the results I am getting, what a beautiful, smelling plant. Surely this is the phase that I am enjoying the most. The change of colors is magnificent, some branches falling because of the weight. Haha

No words, that was a good farm for me, first time and very happy with results.
