I will start my first cultivation to see how well I manage it. Any suggestion or opinion will be welcomed and appreciated. They will be planted in a 1.5 x 1.5 closet to see what this adventure has in store for us.
1st Week:
As my seeds didn't germinate, I decided to use a pack of White Widow. I've noticed that more fit in the closet, so I planted extra, planning to discard the weaker ones. I've started with very light watering, but today I gave them a good soak with a bit of Synergy from Grotek. I think the humidity might be a bit low, and I'll try to correct that. The first nodes have appeared, and in some, even the second. I won't start fertilizing until the 2nd-3rd week.
Humidity: 45%-70%
Temperature: 17º-23º
2nd Week
Until today, since the last time, I have only done a good watering of 1.5 liters for all the plants (12). I have started fertilizing with 0.75ml of both Vitamas Pro and Solo-Tek Grow from Grotek. They are beginning to form their first nodes. 3-4 are lagging behind because they have experienced a bit of stress.
Humidity: 60%-70%
Temperature: 19º-24º
3rd Week
I start with generous watering, 1L for the larger plants. I use Vitamas fertilizer at 1ml/L, Solo-Tek Grow at 2ml/L, Synergy at 0.15gr/1L, and Monster Grow Pro at 0.1gr/1L. Some are already at their 5th node, and soon I will perform apical pruning according to my plan.
Conditions:
Humidity: 55%-70%
Temperature: 19º-24º
3rd Week Update.
I perform apical pruning and remove the other nodes from certain plants. I fill the pots as much as possible to allow for the development of more roots.
4th Week.
I make apical cuts and remove the other knots from the remaining ones. I haven't watered again since Saturday; I gave it a good watering, and the substrate remains moist.
Humidity: 60%-80%
Degrees: 19º-26º
5th Week.
I make apical cuts for the second time, I prune. I have exceeded a bit with nitrogen, thinking that with coconut substrate, I would have a deficiency; I got a little carried away. I'm unsure whether to make more apical cuts, leave them as they are, or do one more.
Humidity: 60%-80%
Temperature: 22º-26º
6th week.
I've done some low pruning. The excess nitrogen is diminishing. I won't make more apical cuts, and I'm considering how much longer to keep them in the vegetative phase. I've set up a mesh to attempt scrog.
Humidity: 60%-80%
Temperature: 22º-26º
6th week.
There is no nitrogen excess anymore, but other deficiencies are emerging. I've started adding CalMag, and I think there might be an iron deficiency as well. I'm hoping someone from the forum could comment on this. I'm finding the need to water quite a bit; the next week will already be the flowering stage. I adjusted the distance of the light, which I think was too close, and raised it.
Environmental conditions:
Humidity: 65%-80%
Temperature: 17.5º-24º
Lamp distance: around 70-80 cm
Plant height: approximately 65 cm
Moderate odor
9th Week
I'm trying to address the deficiencies, I believe it's due to using coconut substrate. I am gradually reducing the daily light exposure by 1 hour until reaching 12/12. As it's the first time with Delta 9 in the cultivation, I have trow it foliarly.
The buds are starting to form. The smell is strong when I open the cabinet, but with the filter, it doesn't smell.
I corrected the deficiencies I had correctly. I defoliated a bit to allow good light penetration. I'll let you judge how they look now. I did a week of stretching, lowering the light by 1 hour each day.
6th week of flowering.
The flowers are almost fully formed, they just need to fatten up and share.
It's noticeable that they're drinking a lot of water and also that it's hotter than the previous months, so it evaporates faster.
