Organic Afghan Lemon

Beautiful development, very stocky. I had to raise the LED panel, I went from 30cm to 50cm, 25% power the first weeks then 50% the third. I removed the secondary branches developing at the level of the cotyledonary leaves. The plants are in Biobizz Light Mix, mixed with the Guano Diffusion range: Lubri-compost, Alguamycor, Guanodiff Classic's For this session I will follow the "TERRE Regular" fertilization scheme from Guano Diffision, Here https://www.guano-diffusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/GD-SCHEMA-CULTURE-TERRE-CROISSANCE-.jpg.

This variety is really bushy, so I topped it at 4 knots, except for one which was behind the others and also had a secondary branch missing at the second knot (I'll topping it just before going to flo). Otherwise nothing to report, everything's going well, the plants aren't fussy and are developing very well. I'm very careful about the power and distance of the led panel, they're very sensitive to it, burns and signs of CalMag deficiency can happen very quickly. The LED panel is at 50% power and 40cm from the plants.

Week 5, repotting in 11-liter pot and 12/12 light cycle. So I transplanted in 11L geotextile pots and in the Guano Diffusion mix: ZERO Mix, Lombri Compost, Alguamycor, Guanodiff Bloom, Insect Frass. I put trellising clips on those with fairly long internodes. The power of the led panel is set at 60%. The plants are still developing very well and are showing off more and more of their pure Indica genetics. I'm very curious to see the stretch on this strain. We'll soon see the first pistils appear.

Week 6, the plants are developing very well, the apexes are turning a lighter green. I removed the trellising clips. Led panel set at 75%. I haven't seen any pistils yet.

Week 7, the first pistils have appeared and flowering is well under way. The stretch wasn't exceptional, but the plants became very bushy, even a little too much so, and I had to thin them out quite severely (maybe too severely, we'll see). I think I started flowering a little too late for the size of the box. The power of the led panel is at 100

Week 8, this time the flowering is well under way and nothing can stop it! Lol In the end, the plants coped very well with the leaf removal, and I may even repeat the operation in a few weeks' time. In any case, the box is very full, which is good to see :)

Week 9, the plants measure 45cm for the largest and 30cm for the smallest, almost 2 different genetics, maybe the variety is not so stable. I thinned out the leaves again, it was becoming too much. I've put up Before/After photos (it doesn't look like it but there was a big pile of leaves). I also added 5g/L of Guawnodiff Bloom by surface scraping. I've had some ventilation problems, since the led panel is at 100% it's complicated to get the temperature below 25°C during the day (it can go up to 27°C). At night, however, it's down to 18°C. I'm going to replace the fan and extractor for more powerful stuff.

Everything's going very well in the tent, the flowers are blooming nicely and starting to give off a nice scent, and the charcoal filter is in place. I'm adding GD Booster and Cann'Candy from Guano-Diffusion to the fertilization. I've changed the fan; it takes up a bit of space but the air circulates much better and it helps me control the temperature. The two large plants at the back are between 35 and 45 cm tall, while the two at the front are less than 30cm tall. We've got two genetics expressing themselves, which is quite interesting, but I'd have liked better stability for this strain.

The flowering is going very well and the plants give off beautiful fragrances. I defoliated again to give more light to the flowers below, which were in the shade of the canopy. The plants range in size from 48 cm for the largest to around 38 cm for the smallest. the flowering shows even more the genetic differences between the plants, i almost wonder if they didn't mix seeds when i ordered them, i don't know. But if it's the same variety, then it's really not stable. With the return of fine weather, it's hard for me to control the temperature of the tent as I'd like, but it seems to be going well.

The plants have stopped gaining centimetres, the flowers have grown in volume and are covered with trychomes.

I didn't post any updates during the last few weeks of flower ripening. The last two weeks, I lowered the light intensity of the led panel to 75% and flushed the plants with clear water (just calMag). I wouldn't dry the plant material in the traditional way, as it all goes straight to fresh frozen (i keep a few nice heavy buds). The yield of plants in fresh material (see name on photos) : A - 280gr B - 226gr C - 239gr D - 260 (small but strong) The plants developed identically until the stretch when the genetic differences became apparent. The result is still very interesting, and the smells emanating from the fresh material are very clean and pure. Growing this Landrace in full organic was a good idea, the result will be a hash of exepetion I'm sure. Thank you Khalifa Genetics
