Skunk #1 - feminized

First week with start up. Gave bit to much 1st time. Flushed and continued. Also added bit great white.

Started the week with to much nutrients in the medium as I gave to much Start up last watering. Runoff was EC 2,2 so I flushed all plants with water ph 6.4 (1,5 L per plant). After flushing runoff was EC 0,38. Finished with 150 ml solution EC 1,3 and PH 5,8. Last runoff was EC 1,2 and ph 5,8. Plants grew good roots and hight and the flushing didn't slow them down a lot. Air was way to dry so added 200 ml/h vaporizer and now its steady. Had too high VPD in fist 12 days. Got some leaves turning partly yellow.

Transplanted from 0.5L to 5L pot. Aimed for at 3 weeks and that worked. Good root and growth. Some yellow leaves from to much Start up.

The plants are doing well. Some discoloration at the lower leafs but growth is steady. Good internode distances and roots growing vast and big. VPD was much to high before but had it at about 1,2 this week because of large capacity humidifier. Going to 18L pots soon. Planning to go to 12/12 in about 14 days weeks.

This past week marked significant progress for our Skunk #1 plants. After potting up to 18L containers on the 33rd day from germination, we observed robust growth, reaching an average height of 26.5 cm by the 27th. Vigilance in monitoring nutrient levels was crucial, as signs of phosphorus deficiency and leaf bleeding were addressed. A cautious approach was taken with nutrient administration, starting with a lower EC of 0.8 to avoid further stress. The plants responded well, and we plan to continue with a watchful eye as we navigate this crucial stage.

My GPT Dr Green Thums helpt me diagnose a phosphorus deficiency. It's amazing. Upload pics and he's on it. And pretty good also. Hè gut put you out of a job I guess😅 Dr G also wrote my entry here. **GrowDiaries.com Journal Summary from January 27th to Present:** **January 27th**: I noted signs of nutrient stress in my plants, particularly interveinal chlorosis and yellowing at the edges of the leaves. These symptoms indicated potential deficiencies, leading me to suspect issues with magnesium and a possible imbalance in other nutrients. The yellowing progressed upwards from the lower leaves, with dark green veins remaining, pointing towards a magnesium deficit. **Diagnostic Process**: - I analyzed the plant's symptoms, considering nutrient mobility and their typical deficiency signs. - The combination of symptoms, including the yellowing pattern and dark leaf petioles, led me to hypothesize a phosphorus deficiency as well. - I decided to intervene with foliage feeding to address these issues promptly. **Actions Taken**: - I prepared a foliar spray using Terra flower solution, diluted to a gentle concentration of 0.5 ml per 1.5 liters, and pH-adjusted to 6.4 for optimal nutrient uptake. - To reduce potential light stress, I dimmed the lamps to 50% during the recovery period following the foliar feeding. **January 28th and 29th**: The plants showed an improvement in the color intensity of the upper leaves, suggesting that the foliar feed was effective and the plants were beginning to assimilate the additional nutrients. **Final Diagnosis**: - My plants likely suffered from a phosphorus deficiency, as suggested by the observed symptoms and the slight improvement after foliar feeding. - The growth increment of 1 cm in height indicated that, despite the nutrient stress, the plants were still capable of growth. This summary reflects the careful monitoring and adjustments made in response to the symptoms observed, demonstrating the value of a proactive approach to cannabis cultivation. I'll continue to observe and make further adjustments to the feeding strategy as needed to ensure healthy growth. **GrowDiaries.com Journal Update for February 4th:** **February 4th**: The plants are now 12 hours post-pruning and are showing strong signs of recovery. The light intensity has been increased to 75% to support their energy needs as they prepare for the flowering stage. The pruning likely improved air circulation and light penetration, which is essential for robust flowering. **Staging for Bloom**: - Preparations for the flowering phase are well underway. Environmental factors such as humidity and temperature have been optimized for the transition. - Light intensity has been adjusted to acclimatize the plants for the upcoming change in the light schedule. - In the next 1 to 3 days, I will switch the light cycle to 12/12, marking the official start of the flowering stage. This period is critical, and I will continue to monitor the plants closely for any signs of stress or further adjustments needed.

12-2 weeks end: "Ending week 7, the ladies stand tall at 54 cm, showcasing lush foliage and the promising stirrings of pre-flower formation. The meticulously controlled environment, with a stable VPD and attentive nurturing, has set the stage for a seamless transition to bloom.

The honers of the final update for week 8 are for my custom optimized GPT Dr Green Thumbs. "As we close out Week 8, our garden is a sight to behold. Plants 1 and 2, standing at 65 cm and 69 cm respectively, are the very picture of health. Lush green foliage stretches out in every direction, and the onset of flowering brings with it the promise of a fruitful harvest. The transition to the blooming phase is well underway, with both plants showcasing the initial bud formations. The stretch is noticeable, indicating a robust response to the light cycle changes. Our vigilant care regimen, tailored nutrient mix, and stable environmental controls are paying off, as evidenced by the vitality and vigor of our plants. We'll continue to monitor our green beauties, adjusting our approach as they march through the flowering stage. It's a pivotal time, and every detail counts. Thanks to a solid foundation laid in the previous weeks, we're expecting the coming days to be as prosperous as the last.

Clearly I forgot to tune and optimize it for some modesty :-) --- 15-2: Plants are going into the stretch fase and growing at an increasing grow rate. First blooming features are clearly showing pistils.

25-2: Throughout the week, I'm observing two phenomena simultaneously: a portion of the upper leaves turning a lighter green and/or appearing to have a yellowish hue. One plant has curled leaves at the top of the plant but limited to one layer of leaves. The tips are yellowed with dark spots. Due to rapid growth, the plant flew too close to the sun and burned its wings, was my assessment. In other words, light burn. The leaves becoming lighter are located in several layers from the top to halfway down the plant. I suspect there is a deficiency and perform a slurry test. The EC is low at 0.24 and the pH is good at 6.3. The soil is still too wet to feed, which presents a dilemma: feed with the risk of wet feet or wait a bit longer with the risk that the deficiencies become more severe? To mitigate this, I gave foliar feeding (Terra Bloom 0.5 ml per liter) by spraying the leaves without really wetting them. I did this just after the lights were out. A day later, I first flushed the plants with a few liters of water pH 6.4 and then gave them nutrients with EC 1.3 and pH 6.4: Terra Bloom (+/- 4 ml per liter), Sugar Royal (1 ml per liter), and a tiny bit of Great White and orthosilicic acid. And hung the lights back at 30 cm. It seems to be working because I see the color coming back slightly and the yellowing has at least stopped. Furthermore, I'm keeping the day and night temperature a bit higher at about 25 degrees Celsius during the day and around 21 at night. This is to limit the humidity at night and during the day to increase the VPD to about 1.45. At the end of the week I see the end of the stretch and standing 87 cm tall at average. The gas is on, and ready to go full throttle to the finish! SensiMiller Dr. Green Thumbs Plant Wizz GPT has the day off :) 23-2: "At week 9, our Skunk #1 Feminised plants have shown notable progress. The journey so far has been a blend of anticipation and strategic care. This week, we observed a robust growth spurt, a testament to the nurturing they've received. The balance of water, light, and nutrients has been key. Reflecting on the journey, it's clear that each decision, from the lighting schedule to the nutrient mix, played a crucial role in their current state. Their resilience and growth are not just a result of our efforts but a dance with nature itself." Dr Green Thumbs I can concur with my artificial assistant that the ladies are looking good and the strategy worked. However, this also required constant care, monitoring, observation, discussing the state of the plants, options, and mitigation with Dr. Green Thumbs GPT, and thinking ahead. SensiMiller

28-2: The stretch is over and plants are 87 cm and 100 cm today. Buds are developing well. Turning down the humidity to 52% and temperature 25 25,5 for target VPD 1,5 - 1 55. Tomorrow I'll defoliate just some large fan leaves and prune some popcorn at the bottom. Will be adding green sensation soon also.

Had some leafs turning yellow quickly because of watering 2 days late.

Week 14 I have dropped the fan on the large plant losing 4 branches. I hate myself. Did not stop it growing buds. An other 2 weeks I guess.
