Desfrán for spring

D-15 : Repotting girls from a 1L hard pot to a 11.8L smartpot, turned light to 100%. D-16 : Feeding with Biobizz, stop humidifier. Everything is ok right now. Leaves are growing fast. They have a beautyful green color, I love this color ! D-20 : All is good !

Today, day 23 was the last repotting. Girls went from 11.6L to a 20L pot. Now there in the right place, serious things can begin ! I planned to top the girls on wednesday or thursday. It will depends on hos they will recover. Actually, it's my first time with smartpots. If smartpots have a lot of advantages, repotting is not one of them ! I made a mistake : the plants were 60% dry, and abviously, it was not a good idea ! It should be clearly moist. Nextime I think I will water the girls 1 hour before repotting. I hope it will be ok and they will recover from this tough moment.... Will see in a few days 😰😨 Anyway, I have generously watered them right after repotting with no nutrient. Juste clear water with the right Ph. As they are in some brand new light-mix medium, I thought they have enough nutrient for a at least 2 or 3 days. D-25 : Everything is ok. Girls seems to have recover very well :) Anyway, I'll wait at least one more day before topping. D-26 : Topping the girls. Hope everything is going to ok... Also feeding the girls right after the top. During the topping process, the plants were reduced from 25cm to 12cm.

D-29 : I made a mistake. I think the second top I did today was too soon. Only 4 days after the first one. What is done, is done. Now, let see what happend but, I'll wait more for the last top. I think I'll wait untill the new mains have at least 3 new real nodes. D-30 : Every thing is ok except that the new mains are really really really small.... It should be better in a couple of days. D-33 : Everything is ok ! What should I say ?!

D-37 : Done the third topping, but I broke one of the branch of the most healthy Desfran :( I'm very sad about that so I will try to do a fourth topping to have the good amount of flowers. The others are going well ! D-43 : Everything still ok ! The LST is almost over, and I think I'll turn to flowering mode winthin 10 days max.

D-45 : Here it is : the last week before flowering. I'll let the girls grows until 35cm ans then I'll switch. For now, everybody looks fine. Leaves are beautyful with deep green with absolutly no default due to any deficency are under/over watering or light burn or .... no ! Everything is perfect till now ! Well, the one that had a broken branch is a bit late, and I've done LST today. That's why I'll wait one more week before turning everybody into flowering mode. She'll have 10 colas because of that, and because of the decision I took to keep the "lonyly" branch, even if she doesn't have her symetrical-sister-branch anymore. We'll see what happend, just for curiosity. With 7 plants inside and 58 mains, I think their will be pretty tight, but it should be ok.... :) D-48 : I have turned the light to flowering mode today. It's the start for 10 long weeks. Light schedules is 6PM to 6 AM. Even if the girls are absolutly perfect till now, I now that it is now that hormonal changes occures and so the nutrients needs. As I am using biobizz, here what is nutrients plan from now : - replace Biofish by BioGrow 2ml/L - BioBloom 1ml/L - TopMax 1ml/L - BioHeaven 2ml/L - Alg-A-Mic 1ml/L - ActiVera 2ml/L - Microbes 0.2g/l once a week.

D-48 : after lollipopping this morning, I turn to flowering mode tonight !

D-56 : The girls are great, beautyful and starting to stretch fast. No deficiency, no watering or feeding trouble, the temperature is a bit high but this variety are really comfortable with temperatures between 27 and 30°C, so I maintain it around 27-29°c during the day time. The horizontal space is fully occupied already. But, I guess the Desfrans are growing vertically now. However, I'll continue to reasonably defoliate to let light and fresh air go through the canopy. As I start the second flowering week, the flowers should apear... can't wait to see the first ones !

D-62 : Everything is ok ! Girls are beautyful, but it seems that they are growing a bit slower than last week....

D-70 : At this stage, I'm a bit.... surprised that the Desfrans are not taller thant they are. The smallest one is 35cm wich is really small for a 100% sativa strain. The tallest one is about 56cm, wich is also quiet small I think. If I compare with some other diaries, the tallest one could be in the target if we take into account that I trained them a lot during their first weeks. But the small one is almost the half she should be... There's no sign of deficency, none ! I have 420w @ 50 cm from the top, so it's not because of the light. The container is a 20L smartpot. I simply do not understand. Is it juste because of that phenotype ? Will she grow during the next 7-9 weeks untill she'll recover her late ? I Modified a bit the position of the light so the Lumatek 100w FullSpectrum on the side of the box is really pointed to the "slow" girls. We'll see if it change anything but I really doubt about it... The only lead I have is : Desfran loves HEAT and Light. The 2 smallest are on the coldest side of the box, even if it's not cold at all. But it is the side near the window...

D-77 : Girls are going well and they are beautyful but, they are growing alot less than expected. They are 30cm behind they should be. I hope it is because of all the effort I made on the mainlining process at the beginning....

D-83 : plants are not growing that much, but buds are starting getting fatter. I put the net on so the buds can grow straight up. And now, I feed them every 2 days with 2 litters each. They defenatly need that.

D-89 : Every thing is going great till now ! I wish they grew a bit more, but still 2cm/week is not that bat as long as they continue to get fatter, and they do :) Raised Calmag from 0.5 to 0.8ml/l

D-96 : Something is going wrong. I see some spots on the leaves, and the big Chocolate Haze has very marked leaves. Deficiency or over nut ? I don't know. I decide to water them with just Calmag and Phed water for 2 or 3 times, and see what happend... D-102 : Wow... it's getting worth... I don't really known what to do.... And it is a critical moment for the plant. Exactly the good timing to make them turning herma.... Not good at all....

D-104 : Last week, I noticed a problem related to the calcium OR to the Ph. I didn't know if it was a deficiency or an excess. So I tried to just wetered girls with the right Ph and A bit more of CalMag 0.8 > 1.2/L. We'll see this week if It was the good choice. fingers corssed !

Quiet easy to grow. I had I completly foxtailed. I had problems with Ph but that's my fault. The harvest is easy and quick. The buds are really nice and compact.
