Craaazyyyy weeks Craaazyyyy growth Loving it AAALLLL Ok, so, this is the 5th week. Plants started flowering during 4th. They've had massive growth (from my perspective and experience ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…) and started to smellll I think I was consistent on that LST. Always trying to give all the heads as much light as possible. It was a lot of work, but I still loved it. Having 2 plants makes it more fun because I need to have a diferent point of view for each one. S has been toped, and with LST I was able to have lots of heads very well positioned B is responding marvelously to bending, wich makes it hard to bend because THERE IS NO MORE ROOM TO RUN TO ๐Ÿ˜‚ she is growing a lot, and there's just to much leaves to tuck... As I was saying they're different, wich I am loving I decided to defoliate them as my last stress move towards the plants. Cutted the leaves that were on the bottom and covering the top heads, and the very small, tiny, thiny side branches. I am lowering the LST to minimum. Since the heads I chose, now have space and LIGHT to grow at will, I want to not disturb them as much as I can. You can see that when I defoliated them, there was light on the soil. And just in 1 day difference, even at this point, you almost can feel them grow! I was amased, because of the stress I had caused them. Yet, look with attention, you can spot the differece. (I hope you can see it too through the screen, because it's real ๐Ÿ˜…) Look at the S. She is doing just greaaaaat. Think it was a good decision to top her. Hope it keeps growing as it is! Smell is increasing Day 30 changed the light to 24h ON. Day 31 - Heads bigger - !QUESTION! -I always water the plants simultaneously. B's vase is noticeble heavier. Cant understand why... I'm going to start checking if they need to be watered at different times. I can only imagine that the root system is different, due to its "differences outside". But really! They have suffered different stress at different times... different root system = different drainage? Food for thought Day 32 Defoliated them because I thought they were too bushy. Felt like it maybe was a mystake, later, due to some recommendations i read... Day 34 Plants seem to have reacted ok to defoliation, lets see how the next days go by Day 36 Starting to get frosty and smelly Plants seem healthy โ„๏ธ TEMPERATURE: 22-27ยฐC RH: 40-60% WATER PH: 6.2-6.5

Looks good so far. Every plant is different even if the same strain. This variable is caused by different factors such as stress, variances in phenotype, soil ph, quality of drainage, etc. I water based upon need not schedule. Roots need plenty of oxygen to breathe, and without it you might see drops in yields, quality and risk diseases. You only need to add enough to get the soil moist. I've found that 2L per 5 gal of soil is a pretty solid starting point to get that feel on how thirsty each girl is. Then it's easily adjusted from there to optimal levels. Only water when the soil dries out. To test, poke a finger about an inch into the soil. Feel moist? If yes, wait to water/feed. Even easier if you use fabric pots. Then all you have to do is feel the outside bottom of the bases. Also, I've never grown autos before, but I do know that the dark period is where plants love to stretch and grow, especially during the first 2-4 weeks of flower... by dropping it completely, that might not be the best for overall plant health and production. I hear 18/6 is about perfect for most autos. Maybe someone with experience can correct me if I'm wrong. As far as defoliation... you'll find many different theories and techniques. Me personally, I defoliate slowly during veg, to reduce stress and shock. I follow the "look up through the canopy rule". If you can see light looking up through the bottom, that means those beams are wasted. Fan leaves are like solar panels for the plant. The more you have the more energy the plant produces. I only remove leaves I can't tuck or move to expose bud sites. Hope this information helps. #1 noob mistake is over watering. It's still early, let the heavy pot dry out. Your doing good, paying attention, making observations and asking the right questions. Plus your enthusiasm is top notch ๐Ÿ‘Œ. Good luck bro.

@@CRANKSTER_420, damn... thanks a lot for the observations and advices... I'm learning step by step so its easy to miss something... I started with 20/4 regarding the light hours, but since week 5 (i guess) i changed it to 24/0 and I think its going ok (I have no reference, but the plants didnt show any sign of stress anything). To be honest I was a bit sad no1 was realy paying attention to my diary, you made my day! Hope this makes you feel nice too ๐Ÿ˜‰ Due to this (and a bit of over working days/weeks) I havent been able to post, you got me excited again to share, thanks!! The girls are now in a much more advanced state, I'll be posting some photos and a bit of info now. If I have time, I will provide more info during the next days. Thanks again m8! This is my first grow, and Ive always dreamed of having my own baby cannas. I am loving everything, even the bad moments! Have a nice one!! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ
