3rd Grow, Indoor photos 2x2

Disclaimer: I fill my diaries on the go and update them during the week. So if you like to get all the information and pics of innocent plants getting the herbie101 treatment, always check back on the last week to get the FULL picture (of a grower trying hard not to kill his plants). Thank you, have a wonderful week and happy growing! plans for the flowering phase: Its flowering time my dudes! So the timers are set to 12-12. I'll let the lights run during the night (8pm to 8am), because i think i can benefit from better temperatures. When to lights run at 100% it'll add 2° to the overall temperature. So i can compensate for that with the lower nighttemps, so we can stay between 26 and 28°. At least in theory. I took out one humidifier, because i think i want to stay between 55% and 60% humidity. With temps at around 24° this would be spot on vpd-wise. And i don't want to be higher in humidity because of mold, so my best bet is to get the temps as low as possible so i can get the humidity as low as possible. So about height management: The ladies are about 20cm long (5cm Mainstem, 15cm branches), we got about 60cm of upward space. So they can grow 60cm upwards max, if we keep the distance from canopy to lights at 40cm. I think i'm pretty confident that there should be plenty of space for the girls to stretch. For the first two weeks the ladies will get the same food. Because for the first few weeks they won't need blooming nutrients. We'll introduce that when stretching slows down. So the plan for this first week of flower will be to continue LST and keep arranging the branches with the main goal to give them as much light exposure and airflow as possible. The other tricky thing will be to further adapt to their watering needs. I need to adapt the amount of water when feeding. Last week they drank 2l and were dry on the third day. I want to give them enough water to have at least two days between feeding, so we can provide the ladies with a dry cycle of at least one day between waterings. Day 42/F1: So the girls had their first night of 12-12 and that means they are ready for flowering (or they have to be). Timing is very good and i'm hyped for this week! We set up the mainline in week 3 and topped again on week 4. I hope Caps broken arm will not hold her back, but time will tell. Things are looking good and i'm more than happy how this run went until now. I gave them 3l of nutrient water and we'll see how long they take to absord it. And i adjusted LST. I upped the light intensity to 80%, letting them adjust a few days before i put it up to 100%. I don't know if it makes a difference for the plants, but it just feels more natural. If they go hogwild on stretching i may turn the lights to max earlier, just to contain the growth a bit. But at the time i'm not worried about it. Day 43/F2: Man the new time schedule is killing me! The waiting time to open up the tent is just horrible! They've already brighten up noticably and look pretty healthy. I didn't do any lst adjustments today, but i plucked a few leaves because i couldn't controll the urge. But i think they managed the switched timeschedule pretty well and we'll see how things go in the next few days. Day 45/F4: So the ladies are healthy and thirsty. They are almost dry on day three after the last feeding. So we're gonna stick with 3l and raise the amount per feeding next week. From now on i'm gonna switch from fishmix to biogrow for the rest of the flower. The growth was not massive, but daisy clearly grew more than cap. But thats fine so far. I just them go at the moment and do more LST until the colas reach over the canopy. For now it seems just fine. Day 46/F5: The young women seem to be allright. I plucked some leaves to expose the budsites more to the lights and checked for threats. But it seems all fine. We take that😄 They got enough water, temps are between 25° and 17°, humidity between 50 and 60%, light still at 80%. So i need to get the room a bit warmer during the day to push the nightemps over 18°, but besides that i think we're fine. Day 47/F6: Now they're going! They did a good stretch over night, so i gotta adjust LST a bit for flattening out the canopy. Spending a little time in the garden! I love it😊 I plucked some leaves (again), i hope they won't mind. Now they are spread out and ready to grow again. The hazey smell already lingers around. Tasty tasty! 😊
