This is my second run after the Purplematic CBD, this time I will go for two pots instead of four in my little 0.6x0.6m tent expecting to have enough room for each girl and try to improve the last performance of 1g/watt with half of the plants and this half productive strain using the same 25L textile pot size.

I will soak the seeds for 24h at 23.5°C with one pinch of TNC MycorrPlus and they will go directly to the final pot tomorrow.

It's four days since I sowed them directly to the final pot and I had some problems with the ceramic heater, the temperature fell until 18°C and remained under 21°C most of the time, but looks like it fixed itself after disconnecting and connect it again.
Despite that one seed sprouted yesterday 28/01 and the other one did it today 29/01, this afternoon I finally turned on the light at 12 DLI and 18/6 schedule.
Will see tomorrow how they are doing...

The weak seed didn't survived. I put another seed to soak overnight and tomorrow I will sow it, so it will be seven days difference in growth this run between both plants if everything goes well.

Defoliated again, I will start watering more often since they are thirstier than ever.

New light Mars Hydro FC 3000 EVO under 75% and 45 DLI 18/6 in the 2x2ft (60x60cm)
D49. 15/03/24
Looks like the younger one not tolerate 45 DLI coming from 30 DLI in the older light.
On day 42, two days ago I step up from 30 DLI to 45 with my new light, the old sister 7 days older looks happier but the young sister is not happy at all, the pictures are taken 60min before lights off and over 50 mbar on the tensiometer, I watered yesterday. What do you think?
10-15% less might do you well.. the plants adapt to environment. the light provided is part of that. so, maybe the pigmentation in the droopier plant is not enough to handle all the light as is, but if you gave 35-40 (whatever your local temps, rh and co2 allow) from early on it may be able to handle it better.
e.g. you take an indoor plant outside and it can wilt like crazy due to too much light. but if a clone of that plant was maintained outside, it'd be fine.. One way or another, the plant subjected to high intensity light above and beyond what it can use per day develops a defense against it.
if it's only super droopy last 2-3 hours, that's not so bad.. 10-15% adjustment will fix it. it may take a bit to snap out of it. don't be afriad to adjust further, then maybe go back up a bit in a couple weeks and see how it goes. trial and error. take notes. it may not be exactly the same each time but it'll be very close. Sometimes it takes a week or more to see "too much", too. Another good reason for notes to look back on.
in future you may find starting with more light early on will allow you to go a bit higher.. Though 45 is almost certainly too much for typical ambient CO2 / temp/rh combinations.. some moving parts there so it's impossible to give an exact value to target. Genetic variance is a thing, too.

They look better from the shock of passing from 30 DLI or less with the old 120W light to 45 DLI with the new one in 24h, now they are near 40 DLI.

First day of ninth week.

It starts to be smelly 🔥
D61.
Discovered I fucked up with the old sister since I just have tensiometer on the young one and kept feeding the same to both plants despite the 7 days old difference, the old sister pot was completely soaked while the young one was dry.
I tested the runoff on the old sister and got near 5000EC due to nutrient build up so I flushed at least 20L of RO water at 5.5pH and got runoff EC down to 2400...
Some leaf started to get burned, yellowed and burned spots, I also checked on the thricomes and they are still clear on the old sister and it's still two weeks to go for harvest, let's hope for the best 🤞
D62.
I tested runoff on the young lady due to the dark green leaf and the slowed eating rate and got same near 5000 EC, this time I got more RO water and I've been able to down to 1400 EC.

Old sister is burned and stunted by nutes and I will flush again properly asap, her trichomes are still clear while young sister became a mess going wild with branches everywhere not getting light, today I lollipopped her to get rid off em.

Second day of week eleven and the citrus smell is out of this world, trichomes are still clear and no amber anywhere, both ladies smell fantastic 🔥
D77.
Today I harvested the old lady, she struggeled a lot last weeks since nutrient lock out, then overwatering, tricomes were already milky so I choose to not wait for amber because of the root rot and botrytis risk.
On the trim she smelled fantastic and made big colas despite last three weeks stunted eating herself.
Young lady is one ore two weeks to go 🔥
D75. YOUNG LADY
She smell so good and trichomes are milky with some still clear and very little amber.
Today I turned lights off to armaguedon her next 48 hours, no more light no more water until harvest this friday morning.
D77. YOUNG LADY
Bro science or not she's been thirsty for 48h in the dark and between 15 and 18°C and today, last day of eleventh week, she's already trimmed and drying with her old sister. Smell was not profound as before the dark period but smelled good when trimmed.
I'll go for 10 days drying as her old sister and update total dry weight by then.
