LST in the beginning of the week for ZZ2, PL1 and PL2. REpeated on midweek and also LST on ZZ1. Started giving low dose Biobizz and watered with Nematodes to fight of a beginning gnat infestation. Defoliation on ZZ2, quite bushy plant with plenty of leaves

Defoliation, some lollipopping on PL1 and PL2, as well as some HST (supercropping) and LST. Minor LST adjustments on ZZ1 and ZZ2. Added minor amounts of superthrive to compensate for HST. First pre.flowers.

Sme defoliation of lower non exposed leaves. The four ladies now almost will up the 1sqm grow space . LST and HST has kept them low. now more than 35-40 cm even canopy. Purple lemonade is well ahead in flowering, starts showing some purple in leaves and stems. Sme discolored leaves, will have to keep checking for issues or deficiencies. going by 1/2 the recommended dose of nutrients.

ZZ1 and ZZ2 are well behind the other PL1 and PL2 in flowering. ZZ1 has made a massive strecht and is now the highest plant. Both PLs are looking pale green on several branches. Don't know what's going on. Initially thought it might be two much air as I placed the fans differently, and both were in the main blowing direction.

Fertilisers tend to be less potent with age, so it's time to buy new bottles. Don't mix old and new products directly, but if you don't want to throw the old ones away, you can split the dosage in the water (half with the old fertiliser, half with the new). You can also use well-diluted old fertilisers on less demanding plants (ornamental or vegetable gardens).

Took tentative counter measures for yellowing plants. Diagnosed it as a pH induced Calcium lockout. Flushed the whole bunch with pHed water an normal nutrient. Sent in pH 6.3 and runoff had 6.2. Hope this will help, next watering i'll give pH 6.5.

ZZ2 showed leaves curling up, slightly burned! Did a flush with pH water at 6.5, then fed along with the others. Regular feeding using Bio-Bizz. Got new nutrients so we'll see if they were part of the problem. Did heavy watering to flush out the old ones, at least 2 liters runoff.

The PL's are starting to give of a real strong smell. Buds are starting to swell up. OInly a few weeks and it's harvest time. Gave some extra PK. The ZZ's are definitely not ready yet. ZZ2 got the leaves curling up. Don't know of it is over feeding , as the others responded well.

PL's are definitely doing fine. Getting close to harvest, trichomes are getting cloudy. Quite some clear ones left so will leave some for time. ZZ's are still not growing to my liking. Leaves are discolored and crispy. They are not responding well to the nutrients.

PL1 and PL2 are doing fine. The pink pheno (PL1) has a very strong pungent and sweet smell. Looking forward to tasting... The ZZ are hanging on. It's especially the top leaves that look bad and try, sone discolored some crispy. Newer growth looks ok, and trichomes star showing.

PL1 and 2 Getting really close. PL1 is so gassy! really strong smell. Flowers are covered with beautiful trichomes with pink stalks 😁 ZZ1 and ZZ2 are well behind but finally also start producing some trichomes. The difference of genetics has really shown between these two strains. Trichome production kicked in really late for the ZZ.

PL are still hanging in strong, checking the trichomes, top buds are almost all milky, but lower buds still many clear ones. Those lower buds get some more time to fatten up. ZZ finally grow some flower, the buds start taking volume, and though many fan leaves have been damaged before, the newer growth in the buds seem to manage enough photosynthesis to keep growing. Still wondering what the problem with these two was...

The buds on both plants are fattening. Stopped giving nutrients, still give som enzymes and a little humic/fulvic acids. Not many green leaves left, just waiting for the trichomes to go amber a bit.

I've been waiting for at least some trichomes to turn amber. I prefer to harvest when there are at least a few amber. I took the PL2 3 days before the PL1. Flushed them for a week only

Finally harvested the remaining two plants. Overall I am pleased, managed to get a decent yield. Quality wise FastBuds have clearly got it right with the Purple Lemondae, even though I have clearly two distinct phenos.
