This is the last week of outdoor growing. Sunlight and temperatures are going down so I had to get an kit to transition indoor. Hopefully everything will be fine, as a transition it is now in the apartment with a small light. I noticed a little bit of smell which IS perceivable only if you get your nose on the leaves, i hope to maximise growth until flowering, i feel it is way too small at the moment of writing.
Today is the first day in the grow box. I finally got everything to boost indoor growth, and hopefully, growth will resume normally. Some of the leaves are drying up, although not overwhelmingly. It looks great overall, but it is still 2-3 weeks behind what I think is the normal growth for this seed. Let's see.
The plant fully adapted to the new environment and showed incredible growth over the past few days with great leaves and strong stems. I can see the first flowering signs and stems growing inside other stems (not sure if that's normal). Compared to the previous stages, there is less space between one node and the other, resulting in a more elongated shape at the bottom, becoming more and more compact as we go to the top. Seems promising. I am still struggling with ph levels being too high, but I don't see any sign on leaves except from a random hole in one of them. Some older leaves at the bottom and the first two germination small leaves dried out.
The plant is thriving and has grown 50% larger compared to last week. Some of its leaves are now the size of a hand, which is surprising for me as it's my first experience growing a plant. I am hoping that it will start flowering next week. The main stem is thick and resembles a finger. The pH level is still high, but I have purchased a fan to improve ventilation during flowering. I am planning to support the next stage with easy boom, vitamins, and amino acids. There is a smell in the room, but I'm not sure if it's the expected smell or a mix with the box's fabric. I named the plant Gaza because I planted it on the day of the escalation of violence in occupied Palestinian territories, which then led to the recent developments of the conflict in the area.
I have some updates on my Gaza plants. They are growing very quickly and have started to blossom. To promote better air circulation in the tent, I have installed a new fan. Additionally, I have increased the watering frequency and added extra nutrients for the plants. I have a 10L tank where I dissolve the "easy bloom" fertilizer and two drops of the Vitamins+Amminoacids from RQS. I will continue watering the plants daily for the next ten days, before switching to a new 10L tank for the following ten days. After that, I won't use any more fertilizers to prepare for harvesting. I was contemplating trimming some of the bigger leaves, but I am not confident enough to attempt it. Instead, I have repositioned the leaves to allow more sunlight to reach the buds. I also had to adjust the filter and light height because the main bud was getting too close to the light. Although I have done this, the bud still seems too close, and I need to find a way to move the light higher to prevent burning. I have increased the light intensity from 75% during the vegetative stage to 100% now, causing higher temperatures and lower humidity. However, I am maintaining the tank with the water inside to allow for evaporation. Unfortunately, the pH level is still high, higher than it has ever been.
Things seem to be going well so far. I've been regularly watering the plant with fertilizers for the past week. However, some of the leaves turned yellow and fell off, so I pruned a few more to improve air circulation and lighting for the lower flowers.
Last week I removed several leaves that dried out. Overall the plant is suffering from light exposure and now I have reached the maximum height for the lamp in the tent. The plant did not grow this week staying around 62cm. I found some roots on the surface and covered them with more soil. I have noticed no substantial changes in the buds and I am not sure whether the general dryness is affecting them. I have purchased a ph solution to tackle that issue hope not too late. I am still confident I to get a decent outcome in a couple of weeks.
The plant is benefiting from the lower ph levels and finally it seems approaching harvest time. Next week should be ready based on the seeds’ genetics and also given the whiteness of the trichomes. I’ll keep an eye on them to make sure to harvest at the right time.
Finally, it's time to harvest! The plant looks great and already a dry-ish as I haven't been watering it for the past four days. Taste and effects totally match the ones in the seed’s description. I will do another round right after. Only 15g after drying…i will start a fresh one immediately this time being more careful about ph levels and directly in the tent.
