Triple G (Grow 37)

Bluemels Day 4: All seeds have germinated, I potted 2 today, 1 will stay in the germination box until tomorrow. Day 5: I was able to pot all 3 seedlings.

Bluemels Tag 10: A week after planting is over. It went well, although not always exactly how I would have liked. But despite everything, the little girls are growing nicely. The day before yesterday, I stabilized them with sticks. It's quite windy in my little box 😆. And the stems are still pretty thin, but the leaves are already quite large, otherwise they always tip over after 8 to 10 days if I don't do anything. My box is quite full with fans and a humidifier, all in 60cm x 60cm. It's also quite a hassle to keep the humidity up in winter. I distill the water myself (it's cheaper, I've calculated it), then refill the humidifier twice a day 😅 it's quite exhausting at the beginning 😅 But what wouldn't a woman do to have good cannabis in the end, despite many setbacks lately, where I was very stressed and several grows in a row (see last grow reports) have failed 😭 Tag 14: Sticks removed! Tag 15: They made it through well and have grown noticeably, currently a bit slower since I can't get the temperature any higher 😞 Tag 17: The smallest plant has moved out 😉

Bluemels Tag 18: I lowered the humidity by 5%. This also makes it a bit warmer, and I have to distill less water. Tag 20: And again, sorted out another plant.

Bluemels Day 25: Transplanted into a 15L pot, the Triple G is also showing its pre-flowering. Day 27: Topped at 5 nodes. Day 30: Defoliated (removed all sun leaves from the main stem) and started with LST.

Bluemels Tag 36: Lightly defoliated.

Bluemels Tag 39: Today I attached wooden skewers to all the side branches. I secured them with small pieces of soft wire, and the branches are additionally held down by the soft wire horizontally for now. I still need to figure out how to pull them down further to achieve optimal light yield. So, it's still a matter of patience and pondering. Tag 41: The Triple G is doing very well, it has handled the LST nicely, and just keeps growing 😃 Tag 43: I defoliated a bit again to give the bud sites some light.

Bluemels Tag 50: I'm adding Alg a mic to the watering can for stress treatment. Tag 52: I'm starting with the scrogging, the first net is set up and the plant is tucked in.

Bluemels Tag 53: It's not going so well, the leaves have turned so light again, I don't know. I'm feeling a bit down 😴

Bluemels Tag 60: The plant has become a bit greener due to the Alg a mic, but it doesn't look healthy. Not like I'm used to. I've had this damage since last year. Since then, I've only completed one grow. By day 50 at the latest, there's a massive decline. The leaves become lighter with small reddish stems, they don't look healthy anymore, and growth stagnates. Now I might have had a revelation! There's a sulfur deficiency!!! Everything fits. I also think I know how. Since last year, the water supply in my house has changed so that the water comes directly from the municipal utilities. It seems that minerals have been lacking since then (that's my suspicion). In short, Epsom salt is probably the solution to fix the deficiency! I already have it and will apply it during the next watering. I'm so curious to see if it works. If it does, I plan to trim quite a bit when the plant starts growing properly again and basically start anew on the plant's framework.

Bluemels Tag 67: The addition of Epsom salt hasn't really made a difference yet, and since new spots have appeared, I've ordered a Calmag fertilizer. But I'm still really unsure about how to proceed 😫 However, the damage indicates a sulfur deficiency. Magnesium deficiency seems to be showing up now ?😲 Tag 68: The plant has gotten a bit greener from the top 😇 The spots could also be from light burns, so I'm going to wait on the Cal/Mag and just add Epsom salt and fertilizer to the watering for now. Tag 70: Today I finally got to it and trimmed the top part of the plant to give more light to the lower shoots, as it was quite dark down there. I won't be using Epsom salt for now as advised; instead, I'll take Cal-Mag Amino from Xpert Nutrients 2ml/L once a week due to the deficiency. And I've ordered mycorrhiza powder, the one that was available the fastest on Amazon 😁 just like the calmag amino fertilizer 😁 I'm curious to see how it goes from here 😬

Bluemels Tag 75: The plant looks really bad 😱 I hope my rescue measures show results soon 😕 Tag 80: On advice, I bought a pH pen, etc. The pH level is at 8 😱! So I won't be using any Calmag nutrients anymore. I need to adjust the pH level and wait...

Bluemels Tag 82: Defoliated once again.
