We made it to Veg Week 1 😸 It's birdie's day 8, she's still so small. Day 10, first water 300ml no nutrients.

We made it to Veg Week 2 😸 It's birdie's day 15, she's still so small. Just watered her with 200ml + first bio-grow dose (half prescribed). Last watering was 5 days ago with 300ml, no nutrients. I'm a bit worried that her nodes are too close, but she looks happy and "praying" so I don't really want to dim the light. All advice much appreciated, thanks! Day 19 Water 300ml + 1/2 biogrow dose Day 20 LST Day 21 Compared to her bushy friend she has just the right internodal space for light to reach all the new growth

Day 22 I like her posture, she's more symmetric, her internodes are easy to work with Thank you Crashoverite for sharing knowledge and experience and pointing out how I could improve my grow! 🙌 So good Day 23 White hairs already?! Following advice started properly watering and feeding- 1L Water + 0,5ml Biogrow + Calmag 0,3ml, ~pH 6,5 Day 24 was contemplating removing lst altogether but good fella Crashoverite recommended to keep it on the main stem. Day 25 no photo Day 26 I think she looks healthy. I'm concerned about her height and try to lst less. Though she has much better internodes than her bushy neighbor. Raised the light to 75cm from plants: DLI 25 ~15k LUX. Rolled the edges of the pots to help the bottom leaves. Day 27 Removed a couple of small leaves from the first node that were facing the ground. Gave about 1000ml water + biogrow/calmag. Day 28 Flatten her canopy a bit more with lst

Day 29 I removed one leaf from Orion and about six fat fan leaves from Silver Shining. Both look groomed. Spread the stems with more lst. Fighting rising humidity. Day 30 More lst to even her out. I should probably scrog. Dat 31 Water 500ml + 0.25 ml/L Calmag (no nutrients because the tips of the new leaves on main stem are turning yellow). From what I was able to find in Questions people are saying it can be Nitrogen overfeeding which has smth to do with Calmag intake. Though I was giving 1/4 of prescribed dosage. Trying DLI 40 - 25k LUX (bad idea) Day 32 The light settings go back to 29DLI ~18k LUX because the tips of top new leaves start to turn yellow. She's 17cm tall, she outgrew her older stepsister. She has quiet a few flowers forming, I'm trying to keep them even letting the light and air pass to the lower ones. More LST. Day 33 RQS Orion F1 data sheet claims harvest 65 - 70 days after germination. Flowering: 35 - 40 days. I'm halfway through. I need advice on how to proceed 😽 Day 34 DIY Scrog concept test Day 35 She looks kinda sad today. Maybe she hasn't woken up yet, or not happy with two hours shorter light cycle :) I hope she's just thirsty. Just watered them both with 550ml water + 0,5ml/L Calmag + 0,5ml/L Bio-Grow+ 0,3ml/L Bio-Bloom + 0,25ml/L Top-Max ~pH 6,5. Hope this will cheer her up. In times like this I'm contemplating so much lst and wonder how would she look if I just had let her grow. Should do a comparison next time. Cut off two leaves that were really close to the soil.

Week 6 Day 36 I guess now we're flowering. Scroged her a bit more. And minus two more leaves. The plant looks a bit better than yesterday, Day 37 I guess I could say 12 out of 15 scrog squares filled with flowers. Tucked some fan leaves that were covering the light under scrog. Dropped the lamp to 60cm. *Light cycle in the tent 14/10 to make her roommate start producing calyxes and pistils. Installed second fan for better airflow. Day 38 Watered with 550ml water + 0,5ml/L Calmag + 0,5ml/L Bio-Grow+ 0,3ml/L Bio-Bloom + 0,3ml/L Top-Max ~pH 6,5 Note: give more next time. Day 39 She looks better today after yesterday's watering. Tomorrow I'm gonna give her more water until runoff. Light in the tent was gradually switched to 12/12 over this week. Crazy flowers! Day 40 Finally watered her properly ~1250ml until runoff. Nutrients (% from recommended): Calmag 0.5ml/L (100%), Biogrow 1ml/L (50%), Biobloom 1ml/L (25%), Topmax 0.5ml/L (25%) Day 41 I stopped messing with the tallest flowers, instead trying to push lower flowers up. Looks like 14 out of 15 squares are filled. Light power +10W ~70W. Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong here 🙌 Day 42 I guess she's doing alright 👽

Week 7 (2nd week flowering) (October 21-28) Day 43 Scrog squares 15/15 filled, trying to reach with main cola to the 16th free square. Flowers growing, frosting a bit😻 Day 44 I had to remove 3 three-finger and 3 five-finger leaves from this plant to help with light penetration and airflow. She will probably hate me for this. But it's getting tight there. Water ~1600ml Day 45 She loved her water. It looks like she's not really growing vertically anymore if I dare to use this word in my case. She's 22cm tall, and it seems she's rather growing her buds now. But some of those flowers stuck under the scrog are still tiny even though I tried to let the light reach each one 😸 Day 46 I guess she's busy growing her buds. Should I clear under scrog? Day 47 Nothing new. Tucked some leaves, cleaned up a bit so that the light could penetrate. Day 48 OMG Just look at those buds and trichomes 😻 Removed two smallest and lowest bud sites plus maybe a leaf. Watered ~1500ml with feed. I think she's busy growing buds 🙌 Day 49 Removed a tiny bit more of unnecessary in my "experienced" opinion growth from below. Saw a couple of moist spots on the leaves, but I think we're doing fine💪 I love her bonsai esthetics. I mean I wanted a smaller plant because I don't have much space but this is ridiculous compared to others 😹

Week 8 (October 28 - November 3) Day 50 Welp, I suppose she has about 3 weeks left... Unfortunately the smaller buds (those below or at the scrog level) stay low and small and don't grow. Everything above seems to be slowly enlarging. 😽 Light dimmer ~70%, my power meter shows that the light takes ~80W, 50cm from the tops. If someone could tell me if I'm on track or missing something I would greatly appreciate that 🙌 thanks! Day 51 No vertical growth spotted. Buds grow really slow. It feels like everything stopped. Is that OK? 😿 Day 52 She's sticky and smells great! Frosty trichomes everywhere 😻 They both look happy. I slowly cleared the lower third. I should water them tomorrow. Day 53 ~1750ml For some reason the leaves dropped sad after watering 😿 I hope I haven't messed something up. Day 54 Nah, all good 👻 Day 55 Cut a few fan leaves that were covering buds. Sometimes I wonder what would it look like without my lst and scrog. Also I can't imagine buds being even bigger if I kept it under 18h light 🙀 Day 56 Some more fan leaves removed. Turned up the light to 100W. Whenever I accidentally touch a bud she squirts fruity citrusy terpenes yum 😺 Should water tomorrow or the day after.

Week 9 (November 4-10) Day 57 Watered ~1750ml. Data sheet suggests we have two weeks left but I haven't noticed any milky trichomes yet. I removed two smallest branches with tiny flowers that were really underdeveloped in hopes she will spend this energy somewhere else.😭 Day 58 I wish I could bring all the buds to the same height but mistakes were made and some of them will never properly grow. The ones at the top look great. I think the plants look as healthy and happy as they could be in a 40x40 tent 😎 Day 59 Removed a few more leaves and one more tiny hidden branch. 💀 Buds keep growing. Day 60 Can't really see much happening. Day 61 Watering ~1800ml. Removed a few more leaves and one more tiny flower. Checked trichomes under the microscope. It seems they just begin turning milky with most of them still being transparent. Slightly increased nutrients. I'm trying to figure out where to dry her when time comes 🙀 Day 62 They both look good, so far no deficiencies spotted 😻 No hassle today, nothing gets cut. I'm looking for a social club for anonymous growers with plants under 30cm, where we could share our problems and look for understanding. Size doesn't matter, guys! 👺😽 Day 63 Lower buds pistils are still all white... so far no signs of amber heads. Flowers seem to be growing. Removed some more fan leaves and tried to slightly reposition a couple of branches that were getting too close to each other.

Week 10 (November 11-17) Day 64 In theory this could be our last week, that's what all data sheets are saying, usually day 70 is harvest. I don't know, to me it looks like she can stay still like that for another couple of weeks ;) Pistils are browning, but mostly on the top buds... trichomes I can't really tell if they turned milky, but I definitely don't see any amber. Fan leaves aren't getting their nutrients sucked out of them and look pretty healthy and green. 😸 Day 65 Same thing. Sometimes I'm not sure I like her pungent smell 👽 Day 66 Watered the ladies. She got 50% of nutrient prescribed dosage. They were both thirsty. It seemed to me she smelled really unpleasant before watering, almost like manure. After watering fruity scents were back. Maybe I'm just high but maybe this also explains my yesterday's comment about her smell... Day 67 I'm bored Day 68 Hairs getting more brown. I think I notice one bottom fan leaf started fading to yellow. But I haven't seen one amber trichome yet 😎 Day 69 So her roommate is having a buildup of fertilizers and she has probably too. I never watered until proper runoff and my soil is now oversaturated. Day 70 Last day according to RQS. I saw some amber trichomes under the microscope, I had to cut a tiny piece of the bud. As much as I want to finish this trial run already, my dear friend @Crashoverite recommends me to give it another week.

WEEK 11 (November 18 - 24) Day 71 3000ml with calmag 0.8ml/L, biogrow 0.5ml/L, biobloom 2ml/L, topmax 2ml/L temp 20 EC 1. There was 500ml runoff with EC 3.3 🙀🙀🙀 Day 72 Can we last one more week? 😸 She's probably really sick but still manages to produce. So far no autumn leaves noticed. Day 73 😴💤 Day 74 no amber, lil bottom yellowing Day 75 no amber, slowly yellowing Day 76 Not yet dry enough. Day 77 It's been 6 days since last watering. There's more yellowing, I hope it's not because of deficiencies and toxicities but because of her age. Gave her 3000ml plain pH 6.3 water. Runoff 300ml PPM 2430 EC 4.86 which is 4 times higher that what she supposed to be getting. I don't know how she's still alive.

WEEK 12 (November 25 - December 1) Day 78 And we're going into the fourth month. I started giving her plain water both trying to fix the toxicity and getting closer to harvest. Probably a week or two to go. Two hopes: she survives the salt buildup and I could finish by ny 😺 Day 79 Beautiful yellow and green gradients. No amber trichomes noticed. Day 80 Frosty weather brought some dry air to help. Day 81 💤 Day 82 The most yellow leaf is dying, still no amber trichomes on buds. I will probably give her 3500ml pHed water tomorrow with FlashClean and see what's up with her EC 6 days after 1st plain water. Day 83 Flushed her with 4000ml ph 6.3 water with FlashClean 2ml/L. Had 4 stages of runoff. 400ml, 300ml, 300ml, 100ml - EC dropped from 5.8(!) to 3.9 and I hope it kept falling. Might be ready to harvest in 2-10 days 🙀 Day 84 Beautiful colours

Week 13 Day 85 So it's been 10 days since I gave her first plain water and 2 days since I used FlashClean, which claims the plant should be ready for harvest in two days instead of ten. Should I chop? 😺 Day 86 Thanks to comments by great people I realised that those new things growing on my buds were not increasing my yield and were actually nanners. I tried removing them, but there were quiet a few, not sure if I got them all. She was basically showing me that she can't take this anymore and tried to polinate herself and her friend 😹 So I had to remove scrog and chop her down to china town like a real ninja. I guess I have to create a harvest post now. See you there! 😘

3 month or 12 weeks and a couple of days. What a journey, I never expected to dive so deep and learn so much. Thank you beautiful people for your time, thoughts and support, special thanks to @Crashoverite for "growership" and spending so much time answering my crazy questions 😸 How I ended up growing a photoperiod and an autoflower in the same tent? I was high enough to drop my thermometer/hydrometer on my SSH when she was just a 2 days old seedling almost snapping her stem. So I planted another seed because I thought she's not gonna survive. This was Orion. And SSH is still flowering in the tent. I never ran my light higher than 100w which was about 75% on the dimmer and even that seemed to stress them. I think it has a lot to do with the compact size of my tent of just 40cm. TS1000 probably can handle bigger spaces but that was more than enough for me. So far my power meter shows 100Kwh for three months which is roughly 35EUR. What do you guys think of my drying space? 😹 That's the best I could come up with considering I can't dry anywhere else and I still have to keep SSH flowering. Temps swing 18-24 day/night, I try to keep rH 50-60%. There are two pc fan blowing the air upwards, kinda sucking it out from the drying zone. I added black paper on the sides to help stop the light getting down there. It's less than 500lux there and the light is 12/12 anyway. I hope this works. There were 184gr of wet buds with stems for hanging. Two biggest colas were 20 and 25gr. In the end there were ~35g of dry buds and 5g of trim. The more it cures the better it gets. Can't really describe the smell and taste, quiet unique.
