8x Liberty Haze

Oyziphar This grow starts last year on 10/7 when I took some cuttings of different mother plants to preserve my favorite genetics over the winter. 😋 The days were getting shorter and the nights were lengthening, and I need to cut some clones before the mother plants came into flower. 😏 👽 On the photo you see the mother plants from which I took the cutting 😊 Unfortunately I forgot to take phots of the clones themselves. 😓

Oyziphar After 16 days the plants were well rooted, so I potted them in 1 liter pots. 90% light-mix; 10% perlite

Oyziphar Plants are doing great. 👍 On DAY24 Roots have already reached the bottom of the pot 😍 On DAY27 I topped and pruned the plants 👊

Oyziphar This week on DAY31 👉 I repotted the plants to the 25l XL Autopots and covered them with propagation lids to keep the humidy high. 👉 I removed the plants from my tent to my growroom. 👉 I use plastic sticks to bend the tallest branches a bit lower. My soilmix for these 8 autopot XL of 25 liters : 2x 60 liter 100% Organic potting soil (DCM) 2x 60 liter Perlite (Plagron) 1000 grams Biovin (https://bioplantenvoeding.nl/) 200 grams Gen1:11 Outdoor Bloom 50 grams Gen1:11 Outdoor Grow 100 grams Flower Safer (https://bioplantenvoeding.nl/) 8 x 10 grams tablets per Autopot XL (https://bioplantenvoeding.nl/) 2x50 liter potting soil and 2x50 liter perlite would be suffficient, but the bags come in 60 liter packaging. So now I have 40 liters of surplus mix, which I'll use for an other occasion.

Oyziphar DAY35 : I topped the plants for the second time. Each plants now has 4 shoots. I use plastic sticks to bend the longest branch a bit. DAY37 : I connected the Autopots to the watertank. One gift of 5ml of a NK 5-3 organic liquid nuts /1 liter per plant

Oyziphar Busy week 😛 DAY42 : I topped the plants for the third time. All plants now have 8 shoots. 😚 DAY44 : I installed the humidifier and removed the propagatoion lids. I connected the Airdomes to the pump. 😅 DAY48 : I placed 4 plant stakes in each pot to support and bent the branches. I secured the plants to the stakes with plastic binding strips 😁

Oyziphar This week I placed 8 sticks in each pot to support and bent the plants. I tried to get all branches at the same height.

Oyziphar Busy week 💪😵 Daily check and rebending the branches to keep a flat canopy, and to prevent any branches from falling behind and being overshadowed by the others. 😎 DAY53 & DAY 57, respectively DAY1 & DAY4 of the bloom, I pruned the plants. I removed the bottom 2 shoots from each of the eight branches. So I removed 16 shoots per plant. 😚 I used to remove the leaf, but I read on a Facebook message from SpeesCees (original breeder of the Santa Maria strain) that it was better not to remove the leaf. I have to agree, the plants seem to be growing better and they look even healthier. Thx to SpeesCees 😛 And most imortant : I changed their lightschedule from 18/6 tot 12/12. 😍 Removing the shoots (2 of each branch= 16 in total; per plant)

Oyziphar Daily check and rebending the branches to keep a flat canopy, and to prevent any branches from falling behind and being overshadowed by the others. 😎 On DAY9 I pruned the plants for the third time. Again I removed the bottom 2 shoots from each of the eight branches. So I removed 16 shoots per plant. 😚

Oyziphar The plants are doing well. They are still growing, but they are also making more and more flowers. They now also use a lot of water. Almost 2 liters per plant per 24 hours. Now that the plants take up the entire growing space, the humidity has risen considerably. I therefore exchanged my humidifier for a dehumidifier.

Oyziphar 👉 Plants have stopped growing 👉 More and more flowers are appearing. 👉 First trichomes are shining. 👉 Plants take up the entire growing space. Flat canopy 👉 8 plants with 8 branches = 64 branches 👉 No defoliation, so humidity is above 65% (even with my dehumidifier on 24/24) 👉 100% organic : organic powder nutrients and bio growtabs in the soil. Once in week 5 and week 11 : respectively 5ml of a NK 5-3 organic liquid nuts /1 liter per plant and in Week 11 20ml / 0,5 liter water per plant. No PK boosters

Oyziphar 👉 This week I defoliated the plants 3 times. Since then, the plants have consumed a lot less water, and I hope to reduce the humidity a bit. Hopefully this will also provide some more nutrition to the buds. 👉 I replaced the 90cm plant sticks with 120cm sticks, because otherwise the branches wouldn't have enought support. 👉 The plants are now forming beautiful collas, and they are all equally well developed, thanks to the flat canopy that I achieved through a lot of bending. I have 8 plants, and each plant has 8 branches, which will soon give me 64 beautiful collas. 👉 The trichomes are developing well, the buds are becoming sticky, and the scent is now coming through well; fresh minty, sweet, fruity, citrus, lime, pleasantly sour and candy.

Oyziphar 👉 All buds all equally well developed, thanks to the flat canopy that I achieved through a lot of bending. I have 8 plants, and each plant has 8 branches, which will soon give me 64 beautiful collas. 👉 The trichomes are developing well, the buds are becoming sticky, and the smell is soooo pleasant : fresh minty, sweet, fruity, citrus, lime, pleasantly sour and candy.

Oyziphar 👉 The leaves of some of the plants are turning yellow. The Indica genes makes these ladies go very fast.😚 👉 All buds all equally well developed, thanks to the flat canopy that I achieved through a lot of bending. I have 8 plants, and each plant has 8 branches, which will soon give me 64 beautiful collas 😇 👉 Buds and leaves are very sticky, Buds are filling up. Exiting smell : fresh minty, sweet, fruity, citrus, lime, pleasantly sour and candy. Makes you happy already by smelling the plants 😍

Oyziphar Because of all the stress because the men in blue came to snatch my cropt I apparently forgot to add my harvest week to this diary. 😏 With some delay I still place some pictures of my harvest from that time. Thanks for your patience 😊
