Everything seems ok.
Baby is growing fine.
I set the TS-1000 to 50% at 15-20 cm with a 18 hours schedule.
First time using Molasses. Hope I don't burn her.
Started some training early this week. I don't know how this strain is suitable for early LST, for now she seems to respond well.
Later in the week I proceeded to cut a big leaf to increase air and light distribution above all.
Lights distance has been ~30cm, dimmer at 75%.
~500ml every 48 hours.
We'll see how this is gonna end, but at the moment she is so strong!
This week flowering started!
Did some LST, lollipopping and defoliation especially on the lower branches and nodes to improve air flow.
Lights at 75% at 38 cm.
1 liter every 48 hours, but she's drinking so much. Switched to flowering phase nutrients.
The stretching should start in days...
Second week of flowering and she's exploding! She's stretching so much in the last days.
Added more clips and did some minor LST.
1.5 litre every 48 hours.
Lights at 80% at 38 cm.
Set the extraction vent at the minimum 24/7 to obtain 55%-60% humidity.
I cut several leaves last week, but she keeps growing.
Should I defoliate even more?
I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...
Hey,
Defoliating during the flowering stage can be a bit tricky, as you don't want to stress your plant too much or interfere with the flowering process.
Since you've already defoliated just before and during the first week of flowering, it's possible that your plant is responding by producing new leaves. This can happen as the plant tries to compensate for the lost foliage.
If your plant is still growing an excessive amount of leaves during the second week of flowering, you could consider doing some light defoliation to remove any large fan leaves that are blocking light penetration to lower bud sites. However, be careful not to remove too many leaves, as this can indeed stress the plant and potentially slow down the flowering process.
It's generally recommended to wait until later in the flowering stage, around weeks 3-4, before doing any major defoliation. By this time, your plant should have established its bud sites, and removing excess foliage can help improve airflow and light penetration to the lower buds without causing too much stress.
Ultimately, the decision to defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks depends on your judgment and the specific needs of your plant. Keep a close eye on its growth and health, and adjust your defoliation strategy accordingly.
Remember, a little bit of stress can sometimes be beneficial for encouraging resin production and overall bud development, but it's essential to strike the right balance to ensure a successful harvest.
Happy growing! 🌿
Third week of flowering and everything's fine.
Humidity at 65%
Lights at 80% at 35 cm.
Increased the amount of nutrients since she's still growing.
2 litres every 2-3 days.
Thrycomes started to appear this week and she looks gorgeous!
No signs of nutrients burn or other deficiencies.
Humidity stable at 55-60%.
2 Litres every 48h.
Lights at 80% at 30cm.
Noticed some burns on the tips, so I reduced the nutrients for this week.
Other than that, she seems pretty fine.
Lights still at 80% - 30cm.
2 litres every 48h.
Had a few issues (well, more than a few) this week.
Temperatures dropped outside, and I clearly made some (I hope minor) mistakes with nutrients and watering.
What I thought was some overfeeding signal, was probably the opposite.
All of this stressed her quite a lot.
Had to cut several yellow and rotten leaves.
Flowers seem to be fine, trichomes are starting to get milky.
I had some issues this week. Last week I noticed some burns on the tips of the leaves, and I immediately thought I overfed her (I use bio-bizz).
This week, I decrease the bio-grow (from 1 to 0.5 ml/l). She didnt take it very well. What am I missing?
Temperatures also dropped..
Assolutamente è una mancanza di fosforo e potassio . Se coltivi organicamente è veramente difficile bruciare i tuoi buds... Dovresti o aumentare la dose di pk e magari integrare anche cal-mag... Comunque e Bello coltivare organico, ma al giorno di oggi con i tanti studi e prodotti di prima qualità ti consiglio di utilizzare una linea organo/minerale - bio/minerale in modo da avere tutti i nutrients prontamente disponibili. In oltre è molto importante utilizzare degli enzimi (specialmente in fioritura in modo che la Materia organica possa essere scomposta più facilmente). Quindi se per adesso se hai Cal Mag di biobizz aggiungilo e aumenta anche le noci. Quanto Bloom e top max stai usando?
The way the tips are burned and curling up, with the rest of the leaf being pretty dark has me thinking nutrient burn. Then the purplish, I’d assume, is just the plant coming into its late flowering color, which was probably helped along faster with the temperature drop you mentioned
This week has been pretty smooth. She's fattening.
Almost all the trichomes are getting milky.
Added some CalMag and she took it well.
I think 2-3 weeks to go.
