alvaroGraciaL May 7 The plants are growing very well, for now with the 30W light. It's time to transplant, but I'm missing the pots and haven't had time. Once transplanted, they'll receive apical pruning and will move to the terrace with 3 hours of direct sunlight until they go to my friend's terrace, where they will be permanently transplanted until harvest in large beds. I've only added Top Crop mycorrhizae as fertilizer.

alvaroGraciaL Topped all of them and transplanted to 7-liter pots filled to half (5 liters per pot). They are now going out to the terrace to adapt to sunlight; they won't have any more artificial light support. Cuttings have been taken from the 4 plants for future tests and experiments. This week, the plants will be moved to my friend's terrace, their permanent place. Top Crop mycorrhizae have been applied. No fertilization is done since the new substrate comes pre-fertilized, which encourages root development.

alvaroGraciaL 28/05/2023 After the apical pruning and a week outdoors, they look very good. In a week, it's time for them to be transplanted to raised beds, where they will stay permanently until harvest.

alvaroGraciaL This week the plants have been transplanted into large beds of soil mix, substrates, hummus, etc., about 500 liters each (two plants per bed). Topping and some tying has been done. This week the scrog net will be installed to properly distribute the branches, and the beds will be moved to their final positions, where they receive maximum sun exposure to the south.

alvaroGraciaL Today, July 30th, I can say that I consider it day 1 of flowering. The critical has already shown sex (white axillary hairs), but all are showing signs of pre-flowering stretch. It's been 42-45° almost every day, so they're transpiring a lot of water, and I think that's why they haven't fully started to flower yet. Last week, they were fertilized with big one foliar. They have some red spider mites all over the garden, but nothing to worry about.

alvaroGraciaL Brutal strangulation in the Chem Diesel CBD due to a tie we forgot for too long. It seems like it hasn't suffered too much so far, but we'll see if it recovers and if it affects flowering now. Other than that, they're doing great and all of them are already flowering, as they're starting to produce axillary calyxes.

alvaroGraciaL Vacation week. The photos are more ordinary because I haven't been able to go by the garden, and someone else sent them to me. They should be showing full sex by now. I hope I don't find little bananas when I get back.

alvaroGraciaL September 10: The plants are making great progress and they are starting to smell really good. The Critical is the most advanced and the Wasabi is the least. The 6th week of flowering has finished. We have found budworms destroying the tips of Critical and Jamaican Dream (to a lesser extent), so this week we will apply Bacillus thuringiensis foliar.

alvaroGraciaL It's going to rain next week, let's hope not too many branches break. We're in the home stretch. Bacillus thuringiensis has been applied since several small budworms were found, most of them still small. Each one has a degree of maturity. The most advanced is the Critical, then Jamaican Dream, and lastly Wasabi and CBD.

alvaroGraciaL This week, the Jamaican Dream and the Critical have been harvested after 8 and a half weeks of flowering. Wasabi and CBD are almost ready to cut, but it's going to be extended by a week to be able to stagger the harvest.
