The plant fell down couple times. So i added wooden sticks for support, and after 2 days stand up straight. Micro prime is 1 1 0.5 NPK with 4.5 CaO and 1 MgO. Instead of usual CalMag. Light was on 20 -> 30 %

At the beginning of the week everything was fine. Then I noticed, something wrong with the color of leaves. Also they started to lowering down. I added 1 extra micro/liter. It didn't help. After that I found out, that bamboo, which I cut on the street and brought home, was infected with aphid... Insects hunting begins. Noticed quite strong smelling for this stage. Light was on 30->40 %

I increased micro (for Nitrogen) and bloom (for sulfur) to fix leaves. Now it looks much better. TriPart is a ferltilizer with NPK 5 0 1. So it has more N and less Metals than advanced nutrients. Fan leaves sometimes falling down, but not constantly, and they can be fixed in a correct position manually by hands :D Also at the second surgery, I cut only main colas and didn't touch previous fan leaves yet, I don't think it's that necessary. Light was on 50 %

Plant looked pretty healthy and the PPM is quiet high, so I didn't change feeding much. The beginning of the week was quiet easy and usual. I keep removing lower leaves on the next after topping. I think it's also important not to stretch your plant perfectly at the direction you want at the first day. At pic 3 it was untidy at the beginning, but I keep recapturing it at least twice a day, so the plant could used to it's new form. At pic 5 I decided to keep topping to 8 colas, even though I was scary, because I might didn't have before flowering start. Baby has her 4th week of vegetation and started to smell more. It was kind of an experiment.

The plant feels completely well, growing and stretching this week. Nether do I, unfortunately I didn't have enough time at the end of week to take a proper care, on the next week, you'll see why it's bad. It's fine yet. I do main-laining for the second time, and now it's extreemley hard for me, to push the branches and tie them down. Also she's continue pulls out the strings. The smell is quiet hard already. It fills more the half of that apartment (60/110 m^m) Although it's not a weed smell yet, something combined with grass and fresh. Also I noticed, the started to drink much more water now. It's weird, but I don't really see her starting preflower. I guess, the it'll happen on the next week

Wicked week. Moving: This week report starts with my moving to a new apartment. It's actually not my first moving with a plant, but now it's kinda too big, so I asked my friends bag. Btw, the next day they stayed in different airports, so the bag didn't really smell after it 😂 I poured out the water from the bucket, gently placed it into the bag. And then the main rule I had is to keep the bad vertically while transplanting. And I'd suggest to just walk with the bag to the destination place, but since it was too far, I needed to order an uber. It was quiet hard to find the right car, because I cannot put it into a trunk, and I needed to order a truck or find a car with a large interior, so i could put near foot. I chose the 2nd one. Don't like extra attention 😁 Plant report: The moving was quiet easy for her, and not for me. She recovered quiet fast after it. But here I forgot to tie her down, which is my mistake, and the next day the grow up a lot, so it wasn't enough thread length anymore. Despite I don't use strings anymore, I still stretch her by myself with a bare hands few times a day. It actually works, just a bit worse, I guess. Usually I grow in closets, but here they have no space for it. So I need to think about her future home. I didn't want to buy a tent at the beginning, cause I think it's not that necessary. I still think so, they are way more overrated than the other 'grower stuff', but may be it would be more comfy with it 😃 I forget, that my lamp was not 70% only, so I turned it to max now. I also found out, that I got almost infected from bamboo(week 2) not only by aphid, but by ebanaya Sciara also. And they are growing their fucking babies in a wet ground. So I kind of buried them. I wrapped opened medium in a package. Now I see and kill only 5 this little monster flying around, before that was counted in dozens. I keep defoliating every day 4-8 leaves. To remove old useless leaves, or to open a new ones. Finally, by the end of this week, preflower started. After that smell also changed a bit, now it's less 'plant' and more 'buds' in the air.

I have build a new lamp holder. Doesn't look reliable, but still strong enough to keep the lamp above the plant. I didn't want to change nutrients ration before I'd a real flowering, but she thinks different, at 4th day I found some sick leaves. Wasn't really sure why was that, I bet for lack of K, so I increased bloom and grow nutrients. And the next day I also decided to add bacterias. Also, since she wasn't growing fast, I bought vitamins (B52) to help her. I could've done it earlier, I just didn't have it at home :D Now, when she entering flowering, she becomes much less flexible and more fragile. So I don't really stretch her anymore, just sorting up some top leaves, so the buds would get more light. Also I continue doing defoliation as before. Idk, what to think, cause I was sure, I'd see some real buds this week, but I didn't. She's switching really slow, and didn't grow as much as I expected. I switched light time from 22/2 to 20/4. Previous time was experimental for me, and now I'm afraid that it might be a problem for slow growing, we'll see how it goes now. But, perhaps, slow growth is consequence of tops, that I've done and now she just needs more time and I shouldn't worry that much. Anyway, she still looks mostly healthy for me. What do you think?

This week I was trying to find a good balance at feeding. I found out, that none of my nutrients had Zn and i started to see deficit of it, so i needed[ to but it. Choose between Advanced Nutrients Revive and General Hydro Micro. Obviously the second one, it has much more other useful elements. Also i bought another CalMag, since i noticed that it might be lack of Mg also. FloraGro also helps with Mg. FloraBloom just cause I already have two base nutrients from them and I'll be needed more bloom later. By the end of the week the feeding was: 1 time pH Perfect Micro, Grow, Bloom in double amounts, B52, CalMags, Sensizym and bacterias. 2 time FloraMicro, Grow, Bloom, BigBud in double amounts, B52, CalMags, Sensizym and bacterias. I think because I changed her diet and now it has much higher ppm, she started to drink less. Kind of more nutrients she can take from the same amount of water, so she doesn't need that much. I think. Also it was quiet hard to change solution alone my myself, when the plant is that big. (Day 3) She always wanted to fall down during it 😁 I changed light schedule to 18/6 as it's more common for me, she will definitely have enough time to sleep. And so I couldn't blame light timing for delaying flowering. Finally she begins to proper flowering, now I'm wondering how many time she'll be needing to finish, I guess 6 more weeks. By the way, she is growing almost in a perfect cube, her width is about 60cm, while the height is around 67cm Still defoliating, but every 2nd day now. That means she stopping producing leaves and starts focusing on buds, which is great. Covering the ground actually helped me, now i almost don't see Sciaras anymore

A little increase nutrients. Now I feed 1 time pH Perfect (Micro, Grow, Bloom) in double amounts, B52, CalMags, Sensizym and bacterias. 2 time Flora(Micro, Grow, Bloom, BigBud )in double amounts, B52, CalMags, Sensizym and bacterias. By the end of the week i ran out of BigBud and Flora Grow. Don't know if need to buy more of it or not. Despite I had lower humidity, it looks like she's still drinking less water. To be honest, it's first time, when i see my plant drink that small at this stage. I defoliated a lot this week, dozens of leaves every day. Although this time, I cut not only big fan leaves, but also small ones in the lower center of a plant. I also cut down some lower buds to lollypop the plant a bit. But since most of the lower buds are still even not developed to the size, when it may be cut down easelly, I think i will continue doing it in the next week. Lightning is also not perfet for the grow. Lamp has enough power to maintain the plant, but it's shape leaves much to be desired, it's too concentrated it the center with very small light at the sides. It allows me understand, that i have mainlained too much, I should've stopped with 4 colas. I was afraid i wouldn't have enough space, but the problem is not with the space, but with lights now. It's funny and weird how the buds are looking now. Some of them are pretty big already, some are just formed. And all of which are located in the top of the plant, they can't even receive equals amount of light even there. Smell is becoming from 'just bud smell' to 'very sweety buds' now. It remind me the smell of Zkittles a lot.

Hey, dear reader! I was busy at the beginning of the week, so I missed the way how, but the PPM in the backet increased to 2400 😬 Changed solution, filled it with prev week schedule. Thought it was good at first, but by the end of week noticed quiet progressing dots on the leaves. So the next watering was without Micro nutrients with extra K containing nutrients, so the solution npk would be more rebalanced. I was cutting her a lot that days, now it's no fan leaves, and cut some small close-to-buds too. With that i chopped the lowest circle/level of buds, because they didn't have light at all. I tried to keep opened the upped buds of all brunches i had. Hope all top buds would be to develop properly, even almost without leaves. The smell is really strong now. Acidy-sweety aroma makes me crazy 😈

Hello! Week started pretty strange. I noticed, that ppm in started to increasing, despite I has adding less nutrients. Next day I added pure water and it didn't helped! I decided to change the solution, but not only this, before transferring her into a new solution, I've washed her roots in a water few times. And there were a lot of stuff coming from there. Idk was was that, honestly, it was just not transparent water with something brown in it. But even more, I noticed my Sensizym starting to smell weird, when I was preparing solution. It was 1 week from being expired, omg. I've got new one. Soo I guess it helped. She starting to grow better by the end of the week. As for me, something definitely was blocking that. Forgot to take picture of roots, next time I'll take it ;) I guess for now, I've overcut her. But somewhere here in point where I'll stop to do that and keep it grow how it is. It's important to keep space between buds. I was afraid, that I would cut all of that leaves now, later I wouldn't be able to reach them. Even it wasn't always easy to do that. She didn't drink much during that period of dirty roots, it seems, now she's starting to drink a little bit more.

Hey! I found something moving in the solution, when I was adding some water. I didn't really know what that was, nether know now. But I decided that they most likely not helpful for the plant, so I added some H2O2 to try kill it, it helped, when I was changing the solution next day, they didn't move anymore. I still added around 5 ml the top of the bucket's solution. It should be a good idea to change the solution after that, I though. I also wanted to wash her roots and sponge from air pump, so I did it 7 times with absolutely clean water and only by the end it wasn't looking terribly dirty. Nice practice to have is rootwashing 😁 Actually, it'd be better if I wouldn't need to do that. But as I did it, I think it helped her. Anyway I didn't stop cutting her, since I was doing it slow, now I cut off some lower branches that had already or would have in the future light deficit. So, now she looks kind of lollipoped too, I guess. It's better now, it was a hot week also. Even I'm growing indoor, actually air-condition is quiet far, and I didn't know how to use it properly. Smell is super strong.

Hey! I tried not to touch her too much, only removed some side branches again, since they were too low. Changed solution just to prevent troubles in a future. Judging by the trichomes, it needs another at least 2 weeks, may be more. Smell is strong and tasty, super sweet. Depending on a concentration it smells from just sweety to strawberry.

Hey all! This week was tough, mainly because of the temperature. Without AC temp raised to 32 C, with it temp was 28. Which is better, but I cannot always keep it on, since I needed some to ventilation from the street. So I decided to build a custom tent, so I could replace this girl to any place at home, at the moment I cannot do it. I wanted to do in couple of days, but I couldn't find the proper materials and didn't finish by the end of the week, and the forecast was even more terrible, so I decided to harvest next week, and start a new grow in a new tent.

It's been a year since my first grow. I've done a lot of mistakes in this grow, by the end I lost control of the temp(in a new apartment), so I didn't had much choice, but harvest. I liked how she started to grow, but later on, my environment wasn't ready for her. And even now, it doesn't looks like her life was a struggle. That was definitely experience-rich grow. Thank you all for your following, advices and support!
