Welcome to my Damn Sour Diary sponsored by Green House Seeds & Mars-Hydro.
SUMMARY
Pre Flower Days 10-15 Flower Days 1-7 Days 71-82. Week 11-12. (Thought I'd do 2 weeks)
Went really well. As most of my girls. They haven't stretched much. Due to stopping the process of growth by putting them to sleep in a few mins as opposed to 2 hrs, therefore, so temp change really doesn't play a part in any stretching. "This is my thinking" could be wrong. But, the stretching I did see from using it during lights on, was a big mistake that I didn't use it at all with lights on time, therefore, not giving them any, hopefully next grow, I'll find an even balance, I'm sure. I'm happy with how she looks. A few light under feeds, and some lack of cal. But overall, I'm very happy with how she's progressed if you look back at her last few weeks of veg, she looked terrible. I played around with Flming but wasn't happy with her progress so I flipped things on its head. But, she's healthy, what looks like some good potential for some colas and a few good bud sites. She is starting to develop a very light purple fade on her leafs. Lights are been used to great affect, absolutely love the IR adds 1.5 hrs to my flowering. Speeding up the whole process by at least 15% "more on lights below".
Edit Day 83 I'm changing the light from been ran in the night for 13-14hrs to runnig at the hottest part of the day. And she'll go into rest cold. Hopefully temps won't ever leached 29c. If they do. I'll increase the ppm of co2 which is at 425. I'm getting reg & tank of co2 next wk. Have to buy the controller and Reg+gas at dif weeks. 2 10L tanks are 260e the co2 only cost 30e its the deposit for the poxy tank the cost cost 100e each. And I won't see that money back, well unless I give them back. But, most likely I'll just change 2 out the same day, "within lights out period". I'm using co2 cause of ridiculous weather for indoor growing. Like 31c last Yr. This yr 'll be prepared. i won't get caught out again. As I depend on a steady stream of medical bud for myself.
Diet/Defoliation/LST
Short flowering has been reduced to 350ppm and instead of the normal PK booster I use, I've added plagron Green Sensation and a few of their other products like Silic Rock/Pure Zym and will be using Atamis Bloombastic & Blossom builder Liquid for the end. Also for taste I've got the OG Terpinator. PPM for plagrons product are 550 (all in) and Short flowering is given in a separate feed. Defoliation was done a days into pre flower in stages. 10-15% maybe 3 times. I think I'll have a look round her this week and see can I open her up more. I also adjusted/added more LST ties to open her up and then Defoliation was carried out.
Lights
MarsHydro SP 3000 & IR/UV45. Absolutely love em. This is the 2nd round of grows for the SP3000 1st I yielded over 800 dry G. This 1 is smaller but the buds are of much higher quality as I'm using the light in a space of 50x100cm2. Its core coverage is 60x120 flowering 70x150 for veg. With the addition of the IR/UV45 it's changed my whole game. The speed and progress of the plants is unbelievable. The flip waiting time cut from up to 14 days sometimes to 3-5 days before pistils appear. And the extra 1-2hrs flowering has defo sped it up.

Too bad for your veg tent situations, good thing you found the nesting soil.. from now on you should be saving money on gnat traps.. unless they are a silent sponsor of yours ππ
Happy growing brother

Lol nah, no secret spon. Just 3e per 40 in my local growshop. So, I always buy a few pks when I'm there.
