Seguimiento Mendocino Skunk

PacificGrower The seedlings are growing without problems, one of them is a bit behind compared to the others. The humidity and temperature levels are very high, I try to keep them well-ventilated.

PacificGrower I transplanted to a 3 LT pot on day 14. We started using top crop vegetation fertilizers, applying 1ml per liter of water.

PacificGrower We started week 3 by adding 0.5 ML more of fertilizers to raise the watering to 1.5 ML/Lt of fertilizers during the vegetative phase.

PacificGrower We completed the fourth week, we're doing apical cuts to encourage more buds on the plants and applied the LST technique on 2 of them. We continue to apply vegetative fertilizers and preventative treatments once a week. 1.5ml/L. This week, all the waterings were measured at a pH of 6.2, max 6.5. One of the plants was showing a deficiency, I think it was because I wasn't measuring the pH of the water in the waterings. We've started the measurements now, so hopefully that was what was affecting me. Other than that, the plants are growing well and handling the high temperatures and humidity in my indoor!

PacificGrower Week of pruning and root washing due to excess fertilizers and incorrect pH measurements.. After the root wash, the plant looks a better color and its new shoots look healthy. We adjusted branches with LST, opening the plant more to take advantage of the light. We started week 6 by lowering the Vegetative fertilizer to 1Ml/L.. waiting for the EC meter to ensure better parameters for the girls.

PacificGrower This week I transplanted from 3L pots to 9L pots, applied LST, and did some defoliation to make better use of the light. The plants look good since I started measuring pH... this new week starting, we'll measure EC to see how the plants continue to evolve and improve their deficiencies.

PacificGrower The vegetative stage is over, and we're starting the flowering phase. We switched to 12/12 and did a pretty significant defoliation on the three plants. This way, we improve air circulation in the indoor setup since we have high humidity and temperature. We installed a Scrog net in the indoor area. Watering measures: pH 6.3 and EC 707 2 liters of water to water the 3 plants.

PacificGrower Starting the second week of flowering, the plants have recovered very well after the defoliation that was done before entering flowering. The first pistils are already visible on the 3 plants.

PacificGrower We started week 3 of flowering, feeding twice a week and switched the lights to Bloom.. The plants are growing very well and look quite healthy.

PacificGrower We applied defoliation 21 days after starting the Flowering phase, the plant recovered very well from the pruning and you can already see how the size of its flowers is increasing.

PacificGrower We're starting the fifth week of flowering, and this week we increased the watering with fertilizers, applying 1 watering of water for every 1 of fertilizers. You can already see the resin and trichomes; the plant is evolving very well. We removed the Scrog net because it was hurting the flowers.

PacificGrower So we kick off the sixth week of flowering.. at this point I think it's going to be necessary to leave the plants in flowering for more than 8 weeks, I had to apply some defoliation since the growing leaves were blocking a lot of light to the lower buds. The plants look very healthy despite not having the best conditions in the grow. Little by little we are increasing the fertilizers in the watering.. PPM: 1116 P.H: 6.5

PacificGrower We're starting the seventh week of flowering. The buds still have a long way to go in terms of fattening up; with the defoliation we applied, you can see that the plant stalled a bit. It's just now starting to show that the buds are tightening up again, so we'll have to take it to about 9 or 10 weeks.

PacificGrower Eighth week of Flowering, the plants keep tightening their buds. Of the 3 plants, the one I thought would be the best turned out to be the weakest compared to the other 2. I'll take the grow to the tenth week to see how they turn out. The trichomes show that the plant still has a long way to go.

PacificGrower The buds look a bit fatter... 1 of the plants shows very little resin.

PacificGrower We're almost ready for harvest!! The plants keep growing and tightening their flowers really well... Only one of the 3 plants is a bit slow, it was the one that did best in its vegetative stage. PPM: 1210 P.H: 6.4

PacificGrower We're starting the last week of flowering... We'll only water with water this week to proceed with cutting the plants.

PacificGrower Preparing the plants for the cut, this is the second week watering with plenty of water to clean the plant's roots.. We are no longer applying any fertilizer.

PacificGrower The plant still needs some time, we're patiently waiting for it to reach its best harvest point, watering only with water since the soil still has plenty of nutrients.

PacificGrower The maturation process continues!! The plant is still producing pistils.

PacificGrower Excellent harvest!! The plants have a great aroma. Definitely growing your own medicine is the best option... I already tried the plant on its third day of drying and what a flavor.
