My Very first session !

The HPS 400w seems to be far too strong. I've ordered a Lumatek ATS300w Pro.

The light was too close. So I raised it at 1m . I made an other mistake, again : I applied the nutrient mesurment for 2L and not for 1L.... and one has been over watered. So I removed water from the tray and decide to stop watering her for 1 week. The leaf on 2 of the girls seems to be a bit burned by light. It's because of the too close light but it should be ok now...

There's clearly 1 girl stronger than the two others. She's 3-4cm taller, and the leaf hasen't been affecteen by the light proximity during the second week. But the two "small" girls are growing anyway. In fact, as I don't know the variety of each plant, I can't check if it's just normal due to the genetic of the seed or if the two small have a deficiency.... I know now for my next session that i have to identify each seeds! ! It could be abvious for you experienced guys, but for me, total beginner, it's a discover !!! On the second day I discovered small pre-flowering trichomes on the big one. The substrct seems to be a bit dry. Not sure they will wait till sunday for the next feeding. As I won't be at home for monady to wednesday, I wish I could feed them on sunday. We'll see...

Gone for a 3 days journey, I now can see that the girls has seriously grown !!!! great :) So much so I decided to try a bit of LST. My very first time ! 7 hours later, the 3 plants has fully recovered their position, strait to the sky ! amazying. I feed them with the Biobizz nutrients and let them grow again. We'll sea ! If I believe what I can read on the web, the flowaring stage should start soon. Maybe in one or two weeks. So it's a perfect timing for them to grow more again before flowering after LST. D-34 : Looks like they are thirsty so I feed them one more (3 time this week) with BioBizz nutrients. The temperature is getting high in the box. Don't really know what to do... I'd like to avoid opening the tent becose of the cat (love to play with plants !) and the smell.

This week the girls look very thirsty. They clearly increased their consumption of water, maybe because of the temperature witch is quiet high for a end of october.... Anyway, I have to water the plants every 2 days maximum otherwise the leaves are going down... Beside this, they look great :)

D-42 : The plants looks good, except one that seems to suffer a bit of light burn. Last week I put the ATS 300w PRO at 30cm from the canopee. So I decided to move up the light 10cm more. It seems to be ok now. The flowers doesn't seems to grow that much but if I compare with the photos of the last week, in fact they do ! D-44 : Ok ok ! Clearly, it seems that it wasn't a light burn but a nutrient defficiency. The 3 plants have the same problem. In fact, I didn't give them enough nutrient on each watering. And more, I think I didn't water them enough neither.... It was ok untill the flowering stage start. I assume plants are starving during this stage. Here you can see that it's my really first grow !! So I decided to double water and double nutrient per liter. Just wait and see a couple of days what happened now. Does the damaged leaves will recover ? Or will they just get a litle more green and concentrate energy on new leaves ? I don't know ! Wait, roll one (or two...) and see ! D-47 : Second consecutiv watering with nutrient. I also set the net to guide the growing flowers...

D-50 : Everyone is doing great ! The one that had a difficiency alert a couple of weeks ago has recovered. Thanks to the community's helpers ! I setup the net 2 days ago so the flowers are driven to the light and covers maximum of space in the tent. Well, with only 3 strains, I'm not sure it's very usefull, but later would be too late, so I'm doing that now. I already know when I'm going to harvest those girls cause I will be in hollydays for one week at the end of december. So, I'll harvest between the 19th december. I also know what will be my next grow : 3 Shogun (RQS) with 3 Chocolate Haze (RQS). All of themp in the 1m² box. I'll try main-lining with two time toppings on them. They should be a litle less tall after that and optimizing the flower production. At the same time I will test the SmartPots. I think I'm good for a 19 weeks session with 7-8 week veg. and 9-10 weeks flo. So I could start the session at the very bigining of january in the second box (Secret Jardin DP60) while the first session is gently drying... D-53 : all is good :) just add Biobizz Microbes today. Let’s see ! D-55 : add Calmag today to the nutrients. Hope it will help the litle Pinapple that shows a bit of deficiencies.

D-57 : all is clear. Have fees the girls. They seems to like the aditional 100w from the Lumatek bar. Flowers are growing faster and bigger. Great ! D-58 : - Lemon kix looks good even if the tail of the leaves is guetting dry and curled up. Maybe water deficiency. I'll fixed that. - Mokum's Tulip looks pretty. The pistils are almost all brown while most of the trichomes are clear with some cloudy or brown exceptions here and there. I think I'll start rincing this one next week. - Pinapple Express : Looks good now I have understood that the water have to be at 6.5 Ph. Any other value would create a nutrients lock. I tried 6.2, 6.8, even 7... no. She wants 6.5 ! So that's what I'm giving to her from now on. - Old Pinapple Express Foxtailed : Well. That's a bous track for her. I didn't expect she could grow like that. She was very sad, almost dead when I got it back. Now, she's bigger than my fist with a beautyful foxtail shape. And abviously, she have not finished to grow : pistils are very clear, straight to the sky and very long and strong ! This one is really a surprise. I don't even know if she will stop to grow one day ! Maybe she's the most healthy of the four plants in the box ! D-62 : Everything is ok :) Can't wait to taste those beauties ! If this first grow teach me something, it is patience !

D-63 : everything is ko untill now ! A litle stress is visible on the leaves of the Lemon Kix that are abit too yellow. Then I set the Ph a litle bit lower with 6.3 couple of days ago. New leaves are looking ok. I think there still 2-3 weeks for the lemon kix, 1-2 weeks for the others. I'm checking the trichomes every days. Nothing much to do but removing the leaves that obstruct the light, watering and wait ! D-68 : Mokum's Tulip is gone for 48h of darkness. Harvest is coming on wednesday. Lemon Kix : is ok. A bit thirsty. Pinapple Express Young : Going great. Watching the trichomes everyday. I think the harvest could be next week-end. Pinapple Express Old : Look at this faxtailed beauty !!! She's bigger than my fist with alooooot of thricomes. She's the oldest, but she could be the last to harvest ! She's amazing.

The harvest wasn't difficult. Yes, it takes some time but with some patience and some good musice it's a good moment 😉 144g wet for 1 plant seams to me a good result ! Even if, I know, it will be reduce by 75% during the next couple of weeks. We'll see ! I can't wait to harvest the 2 others : the Lemon kix in a couple of weeks, and the 2 Pinapple Express !

Beautyful monumental foxtailed old Pinappel Express Auto... D-75 : We're almost there ! I'll harvesting the 3 girls between december the 6th and 14th. I have to harvest the 3 at the same time because of space where to dry the weed. Buds are getting fat. The Lemon kix start to foxtail a litle bit, that's nice :) The "young" Pinapple Express doesn't get weight anymore. I'm watching the trichomes everyday.

Today, after 78 days for the lemon kix auto and the Young Pinapple Express, and after 145 days for the old rescued Pinapple Express, I turned off the light. 48h blackout for the 3 girls. Harvest on saturday.

The plant is very compact and, with a litle LST I had really strong and compact buds. Really easy to manucure. I can't wait to taste it after 15 to 20 drying days !

Growing fast with a good internodal space. She reached 55cm. The leaves are very clear ans spacy so the light has no problem to reach the lower flowers. The buds needs time to getting fat and juicy, but it worth it ! In the other hand, the buds are getting too heavy for the branch. She needs help to stay straight. Don't wait too long to keep the sativa effect intact. The harvest was long and fastidious. Take your time ! Actually, I'm really impressed by the weight. 286g for a plant that was 55cm tall ! If I add all the harvest of this session, I reached : 625g (wet buds weight) for 1m2. I'm glad with that :)
