Hello fellow growmies 🙏
Welcome to my Second Grow
This time it will be two Feminized Photoperiods 🍋🌟💨 Lemon Shining Silver Haze from RQS.
Seeds to paper towel 27.12, 29.12 I put them in light-mix soil cups (2 days in paper towel + 3 days in soil)
Week 1 Germination - 01/01
Day 1 both germinated by the evening with 12h difference, so I baptized them with some sprinkled water and they were given names of Amber and Milky.
Day 2 Helped them a little to lose their shells with a few drops of water. Amber is slightly taller probably because she's just 12h older. My aim this grow is big ass roots, so I started giving them a few drops of root-juice water and some wurzelaktivator.
Day 3 I put them in the tent under a bigger plant which I'm about to harvest in the next few days. I'm using plastic cup domes for each seedling to increase their rH.
Day 4 Made more holes in the cups so the soil could "breathe". So far the girls look healthy and the smaller one caught up to her bigger sister.
Day 5 Now they have the whole tent setup for themselves.
Day 6 Light 18/6 ~35cm, DLI 10 PPFD 150, rH 50-62%, humidifier ON.
Day 7 Germination Week 1 ✅ A few ml of root-juice water given.
Happy New Year everybody! 🙌😽
08/01
Day 8 Milky looks happy and is now higher than Amber, she looks sad a bit. I back off with squirting root juice for a couple of days. I should probably transplant them already. PPFD 200 DLI 13 ~20W
Day 9 Today Amber was looking better. I decided to transplant ✅ Let's see if they survive or stress out and die 🤞 Soil was a bit dry and almost fell apart during transplantation. I sprinkled the holes and a bit of top soil with some root-activator and squirted a bit of root juice around.
Day 10 No signs of stress 👍 I'm the God of Gardening 😎
Day 11 😴💤
Day 12 A few more ml of root juice. Milky's first leaf looks a bit off because I accidentally scattered some roots activator powder on it and tried removing it with a moist earbud. As usual my interference is more harm than good 😹
Day 13 I noticed Milky (who actually sprouted 12h later) is now taller than her older friend and her internodes are getting bigger. Look how different are the gaps between cotyledons and first leaves. I don't get it. Does it mean that somehow Amber who is right next to her gets more light and that's why she stays shorter?
Day 14 I switched them places to see if their differences have something to do with position under light. And I should water them tomorrow. Both look healthy. Going into veg week 2.
15/01
Light ~25W
Day 15 Each got 125ml. Milky 10cm, Amber 8cm. I guess today we learn that two plants from the same pack in identical settings could have quiet different structures 👉👌
Day 16 😴💤
Day 17 Milky 13cm, Amber 10cm. Seems like switching them places didn't help, so I guess it might have something to do with roots...
Day 18 Milky 14cm, Amber 10cm. What is going on!?
Day 19 Milky 15cm, Amber 10cm. But weirdly Amber is still a bit ahead with nodes development. Sprayed both with ~300ml each pH 6.3 and root juice ppm200 ec0.4. Sprinkled about 2g of Silicate TA powder around the plants.
Day 20 Milky 16cm, Amber 10cm.
Day 21 Watered the leftovers from two days ago, ~100ml each.
Hi guys, what do you think could be the reason for such a difference in heights at this stage? The short one sprouted 12h earlier and you can probably see is a little ahead in nodes/leaves development but stayed low. I even tried switching them places in the tent a few days ago.
Yup I have the same alot of people say that no 2 seeds grow the same but check out my biscotti grow 2 plants are identical size then you have a larger one. which i would put down to genetics. if you look at growers like leonsweed he grows seeds and they all look identical so if it were true that each are different how would you explain grows like that ? I think its more enviromental than anything maybe that spot in the tent has a higher temperture or the one on the left could be near the sold air intake which would make it grow slower. it could be genetics. just my opinion :) best of luck.
22.05 Light ~25W
Day 22 Milky 18cm, Amber 11cm.
Day 23 Girls stopped gaining height. Milky 18cm, Amber 11cm. I'm considering bending only the tall one over. And I should prepare more water with first feed.
Day 24 LST bend over Milky so now they are same height. Can't really figure out how to bend the short one. How did I do it in the 1st grow?! ~400ml water each pH 6.4 with 1ml/L biogrow (50%), rootjuice 2ml/l 460ppm/0.9EC and some more silica powder around the stem.
Day 25 All good.
Day 26 They both are about 12cm tall. Milky is perfectly shaped.
Day 27 Tried foliar spraying for the first time 6.4pH + Silicate *that was bad idea
Day 28 Bad end of the week. Looks like Amber has some sort of deficiency already. Lower leaves started developing all kinds of stuff, might be nitrogen or calcium def... Or she didn't like yesterday shower, but those look different from dried water drops and are only on lower leaves so far. Watering them 2600-2800ml for two. pH 6.3 rootjuice 3ml/L biogrow 2ml/L EC1.1 - somehow got 400ml runoff from both with EC1.9! I don't get it how come one has a deficiency already and runoff EC is higher than I ever gave them...
29.05 Light ~45W (~40DLI) *check in a day or two if that's too much and needs dialing down
Day 29 So I got frustrated that my perfect grow went to shit in less than a month and decided to punish LST the short one (Amber), adjusted the ropes on Milky and switched them places. Now Amber is on the left and Milky is on the right. The deficiency looks like Calcium today, rather than Nitrogen but I'd appreciate if somebody could help me out understanding this. There are white spots of dried foliar spray with TA Silicate from two days ago (It was the last time I used it as foliar spray), there are yellow irregular spots looking like Ca def which might be affecting Amber's height, there's pale interveinal stuff going on which might be N def and they also claw their leaf tips (overwatering? but they were droopy dry and I gave them less than 20% of pot's volume)... I thought I have enough Calmag in my hard water but it seems they need more. Last watering was yesterday (day 28) with 2800ml for two, pH 6.4, EC 1.1 (rootjuice + biogrow)
Day 30 Oh my, it's progressing. Amber seems to be the one/most affected...
Day 31 I thought it might be a pH issue, so I calibrated my pen, but it was less than 0.1 off. Ordered bio-heaven and fish-mix.
Day 32 I removed a couple of damaged fan leaves from the bottoms, nothing major, mostly from Amber since she's more sick. Still considering removing those big fat indica fan leaves in the middle but maybe in a couple of days. Watered the girls 2L each with proper Calmag and Biogrow doses. So from 4000ml IN pH6.4 EC1, I got 550ml OUT pH6.9 EC1.5. Which is like 15% (Less than 25% required by the books).
Day 33 I think they're slowly bouncing back. Though some of the lower leaves start to look like they need N. I hope yesterday's feed gonna sort it all out. Got me some bioheaven and fishmix for next feed. Too many bottles.
Day 34 They both bounced back from drowning and look great. Amber's leaves have some interveinal yellowing, I guess she desperately needs more N. Fish-mix and Bio-heaven to the rescue but only in a couple of days when they dry up. Today was quiet humid, saw some sweat on the leaves yesterday. Removed a couple of leaves that were laying over one another.
Day 35 I don't see any new rusty spots which is great. Little Amber desperately needs more N and Milky is asking for more Calmag. I guess I have to do another VEG week to fix them, so tomorrow I plan to give them another feed, remove a couple of big fat leaves so they would be ready for the flip by the end of next week.
I'm in biobizz lightmix. Started biogrow on D24, the dose was 50% in 400ml water. Until D24 only rootjuice. Yesterday gave 1400ml each, with 100% biogrow, pH6.4 EC 1.1. My water is hard pH7.7 EC0.8, so I wasn't adding calmag yet. There was 400ml runoff EC 1.9 - why? What do I do?
Some looks like mechanical damage from hitting the edge of the pot, some looks like damage from spilled water/ferts on the leaves.
A young plant in fresh, quality soil is unlikely to be suffering from any deficiencies as yet.
Remember too, no plant will ever have 100% perfect leaves, 100% of the time.
I don't think you need to do anything or have anything real to worry about.
High EC of run off is probably due to nutrient leaching from strongish soil mix.
You might want to adjust the pH of your tap water, continuing to use it as is with a pH of 7.7 will lead to issues.
05.02 Light ~45W VEG WEEK 5
Day 36 This week switching to 12h. Water 1000ml each pH 6.4 EC1.5. Let's see if fish-mix and bio-heaven can sort these ladies' problems. Pre-flower defoliation of big fat fan leaves (6 Milky, 3 Amber), some more lst and tucking👉
Day 37 Thanks @Crashoverite, my girls look much better when I follow your advice and don't improvise 😹 Tucking everyday spreading the canopy.
Day 38 The girls are at their prime so we start to flip. Light schedule changed to 12/12 🙌
Day 39 Girls grow and look astonishing. Dimmed the light to 50W. Will feed them tomorrow or the day after. Should get me some scrog by the end of this week.
Day 40 Light 60W ~30DLI The girls doesn't look thirsty yet so I let them be for another day. Some more leaves tucking.
Day 41 Water 1300ml each pH 6.3 EC1.6 removed a couple of leaves that were getting in the way 😎 Removed the chopsticks, about to install scrog.
Day 42 Rainy days bring high humidity and low temps during lights off. So far no signs of flowering, I guess next week will be one more VEG. Selective defoliation before installing the ScrOG.
12.02 VEG WEEK 6 Light ~65W 12h ~33DLI
Day 43 Girls look good, I feel like I could've defoliated a bit more but I'm not gonna touch them for now. So far no pistils, no stretch 😪
Day 44 😴💤
Day 46 It's been a week of 12/12, Milky got tiny pistils and Amber so far nothing. It's been four days since last feed, they are still a bit moist.
Day 47 Selectively removed a few more leaves from both and slightly repositioned a couple of branches on Milky since she's the only one stretching. Amber's leaves look rifled.
Day 48 It's been a week since last 1250ml watering, gave them another 1000ml each today. They look a bit stunned and hasn't yet started stretching.
Day 49 Finally they start to stretch and we're off to bloom with both girls developing first pistils.
19.02 FLO WEEK 7 Light ~60W 12h
Day 50 Milky (on the right) started stretching. Amber on the left not so much. Removed a couple more leaves.
Day 51 Girls were looking a bit sad, so I gave them another 1000ml each.
Day 52 Finally some more stretching and growing overnight.
Day 53 Girls were healthy and green, so I decided to fuck them up with some ScrOG re-positioning and selective defoliation.
Day 54 It seems we're doing ok, girls adapted, somehow always unhappy and low growing Amber is ahead in flower development. I'm about to leave them for a week. Next photos will be day 62. I give them 2000ml each and hope they survive. Light set to ~60W which is ~700PPFD which is ~33DLI at 12h.

Day 62 The girls survived but were a bit thirsty. Some colas stretched about 10cm. Removed a few leaves and tiny growth from beneath, probably needs more but I will let them bounce back first. New leaves seem a bit thin, not sure if this is a sign of defficiency or just sativa gens.

Runoffs Amber(left): 350ml pH6.7 EC2.2👌, Milky(right): 350ml pH6.6 EC 3.1😱 (WTF?!)
Day 79 Amber(left) looks more yellow than Milky on the right for some reason.
Day 80 😴💤
Day 81 I think they both look healthy, my 1st grow looked worse at this point. Both girls ain't stretching anymore, just growing flowers, but Amber(left) is getting bigger than Milky. It's so weird, she was the one to germinate first but stayed small and low during veg and now she's taking over again.
Day 82 Next grow will be autos 100% 😅
Day 83 Sticky girls, should be fed tomorrow.
Day 84 5500ml/2 pH 6.4 EC 1.8
Runoffs Amber(left): 200ml pH6.7 EC2.7😈, Milky(right): 300ml pH6.6 EC 3.7😈 No signs of toxicities so far but I guess I should plain water next time with a bit bigger runoff. Removed a couple of leaves that were yellowing in the dark under scrog.

Day 85 Looks like we're doing fine so far 😇 Amber(left plant, runoff EC2.7 pH6.7) is a bit bigger and a bit more yellow than Milky(right plant, runoff EC3.7 pH6.6) and their buds have slightly different structures. The smell in the tent and the smell of the flowers is really pleasant - sweet, fruity, tropical.
Day 86 Noticed burnt tips on Amber(left). Just in case lowered the light intensity from 90W to 75W but that might be nute burns. Caledar says 5 more weeks 😭
Day 87 😴💤
Day 88 😴💤
Day 89 Selective defoliation. 10-20 leaves removed to clear out some space.
Day 90 Water boarded both with 8.6L pH 6.3-6.4 EC0.4 until each leached ~1000ml runoff and EC dropped to acceptable levels - Amber 2.0, Milky 1.9 pH6.9

Day 92 Fighting 60+% humidity for the second day after a "flush" :) I wanted to get myself a bigger tent to celebrate legalization but it seems people bought all the grow boxes in the region and everything is out of stock or costs twice as it was a week ago. Cruel times. At least I got 100L of light-mix for a couple of future grows.
Day 93 I don't like this second part of flowering when it looks like nothing is happening :) I want to start a new grow already.
Day 94 I still can't believe people bought all the grow tents in the region, I wish I knew it's gonna be that crazy a month ago... I see some light green on the buds which I guess means that they are growing, checked the trichomes and was surprised to see quiet a lot of milky and even some amber, but still a lot of transparent.
Day 95 Humidity is still high because of the rain, had to remove some more leaves that were growing in.
Day 96 😴💤
Day 97 Milky's pistils turn orange faster, Amber's buds are still white. Their flowers look really different.
Day 98 Gave them another 6000ml for two pH 6.3 EC0.4 - runoffs Amber 200ml EC2.0, Milky 150ml EC2.0 pH6.9-7

Day 99 Amber develops some beautiful colors. Lowered the light intensity, shorten the day by 30 min :)
Day 100 I hope at least one of them will be done in couple of weeks. I sowed another plant already, I'm not a fan of this last longing stage 😹
Day 101 Removed a few of the yellow leaves that were dying. Hairs are still mostly white. The seed that I sowed on sunday has germinated, we should receive the new tent today.
Day 102 The new tent is here, the plan is to remove the scrog tomorrow and move them to a bigger house for the last couple of weeks. I don't know if I should feed them one more time or just keep giving them water.
Day 103 I moved the girls to the new tent, I had to cut the scrog off. Removing the net and having more space let me get to places I couldn't before. So I removed a lot of smaller fan leaves growing inside the buds, spread the branches and found a few loser buds that I wish I noticed before.
Day 104 💧6000ml EC IN 1.5 - OUT 2.9 👹 (A200ml M250ml) - Maybe I should've just kept giving them plain water and had more runoff.
Day 105 So, Milky (left) appears to be more ripe having more "milky" trichomes and almost all of the pistils turning orange although she is much greener. Amber (right), has much fatter buds, more yellow leaves but still mostly white pistils and transparent trichomes.

Day 106 It's week 8 of flowering which RQS mentions could be final, first four branches off of Milky were put in the drying space, she looks more ready, has orange pistils and milky trichomes. Smells great. The rest stays cooking. Amber hairs are super white and buds are getting SUPER FAT 👽
Day 107 Gosh Amber smells delicious and looks great too. Big ass buds, lots of snow-white pistils and trichs. She smells like super ripe berries that are about to spoil 😻
Day 108 I decided to harvest Milky, her trichomes were "milky" translucent and I needed space. Amber stays for a couple weeks more until Milky dries and starts curing.
Day 109 Tbh Amber looks ready too, 90% of the trichomes are translucent but no amber ones yet. I will chop her as soon as I see some or as soon as all her hairs turn orange which will probably take longer.
Day 110 I should plain water her tomorrow, do the "flush" with 3-4L
Day 111 Ended up giving Amber 5L of 6.3pH water with some FlashClean - EC IN 0.5 - EC OUT 4.3-3.3 👺 (leached in 5 stages of ~250ml) I was surprised to see such a high EC in runoff again after one feeding.
Day 112 She might be my new biggest yielder 😅 Hairs still white.

Day 114 Milky almost done drying, just a couple of biggest colas left. Seems to deliver the punch and tastes great even at the beginning of curing. But Amber should be stellar when she's done.
Day 115 Milky jarred. ~35g dry + trim covered in trichs. Amber keeps turning yellow and red and her pistils are getting slowly orange 😻 Smells like blueberries sometimes.
Day 116 I think I'm in my harvest window with Amber, which is end of Flower Week 9. But I will give her some more time to see if she generates more body mass.
Day 117 She's just gorgeous 😻
Day 118 WATER, last time I promise.
Day 119 Took a better picture for the RQS contest 😻
Day 120 It should be another week, but I dont want to create another flowering week, I'm about to harvest.
Day 121 😴💤
Day 122 May 1st, I'm gonna chop Amber tonight.
What an amazing and fruitful adventure. 🍋 Two girls Milky and Amber spent most of their lives in a 40x40 tent, and were moved to a 60x60 for a few last weeks. They were quiet different from the beginning in terms how they vegged, how they flowered, how their buds look and what they yielded. Both super delicious, citrus and blueberries, and deliver the punch. Milky was harvested day 108, delivered ~35g dry. Amber day 122, delivered ~45g dry. There was also ~8g frosty trim. I'm gonna properly cure the best looking buds and see what the fuss is all about, but they taste great already 😸 Cheers mates!
