Day 25: Topping was accepted pretty well.
Day 27: The two new branches start to develop on top. Everything looks healthy. I started to LST three lower branches.
Day 28: Some more LST applied.
Are there any tips how to get the plant more bushy? I'm going to LST the new branches in a couple of days and I plan to defoliating the bottom leafs. Anything else I have to take care of? See current report and thanks in advance.
Defoliating will harm your plant and not help with making it bushy, just the opposite in fact.
More leaves = more energy being made = more growth.
Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth.
"Tip pruning" if you are growing a photoperiod plant may help, but if you are growing autos, just use LST and let the plant do its thing.
Good lighting and proper care is the best thing you can do for your plant, there are no magic techniques or short cuts that will turn a normal plant into a "super" plant.
Day 29: Looks really nice and healthy. I started to LST the two top branches and switched to full spectrum mode of the grow light. Watered with 1L.
Day 31: Gains some more leafs and the branches are getting thicker. Ready to carry some big buds (I hope 🙌). I moved the plant a bit to be more underneath the light.
Day 34: Now it's getting bigger! The last 3 days a lot happend, a lot new leafs and the branches are getting really thick 😳 Just have a look at the fresh green. Watered with 1L.

Day 36: Still growing and almost filling the 2x2 tent. She is showing her sex now and it smells nice.
Day 38: Still producing green, so I decided to put on the net. Watered with 1L, today.
Day 42: She entered the flowering stage. The stem and branches look nice, also the leafs are fine. Looking forward to producing some nice buds. Watered with 1L, today.

Day 43: Upgraded the light to an AC Infinity Ionboard S22.
Day 44: Watered with 1L, today.
Day 45: Watering was good yesterday. She is growing very strong right now and is thirsty 😊 47cm tall.
Day 47: Watered with 1L (without nutrition). I've got some brown spots on some leafs, maybe I add a bit more CalMag when watering her next time. Nevertheless, she is growing fast right now and she is 57cm tall.
Day 49: She is getting bigger! 67cm right now! And looks good. The brown spots stopped evolving and I spotted them just on a few leafs. So, I guess everything ok again. The buds also gained some size compared to the pictures on Day 47 😍

Day 50: Starting the week with watering of 1L and nutrition.
Day 51: Watering with nutrition was good yesterday. The buds look a bit bigger already
Day 53: Watered with 1L (without nutrition) today.
Day 54: Defoliated the last time at the bottom. Now I see the branches with some popcorn. This time I take them, next time I will lollipop right before flowering stage. I also watered with 1L (without nutrition) today, she is very thirsty now.
Day 55: Defoliation seems to be accepted well. Again, watered with 1L (0,5 ml Green Sensation, 0,5 ml Calmag). Growth seems to slow down and buds are filling up a bit.
Day 56: Last pictures for this week. Buds keep filling up

Day 57: Watered her with 1L and nutrition.
Day 58: Watered with 1L (without nutrition)
Day 59: Soil is still a bit wet, so I decided to do nothing today.
Day 60: Today, I started to feed her with Plagron Alga Bloom (3 ml), Plagron Green Sensation (1 ml), BioBizz Calmag (0,5 ml) and Multikraft - Effektive Mikroorganismen Aktiv (1 ml) on 1 L water. I'm excited to see, how she likes this. I also noticed some leafs tuning yellow a bit, and I keep an eye on those.
Day 61: The leafs I identified yesterday keep turning yellow. Also, the brown tips at the top leafs make me worry. (see pics) I hope I'm able to support her to get healthy again. I'm happy to get any hints on what I can do! 🙏
Das 63: I watered her today with Plagron Alga Bloom (3 ml), Plagron Green Sensation (1 ml), BioBizz Calmag (1 ml) and Multikraft - Effektive Mikroorganismen Aktiv (1 ml) on 1,5 L water. The soil was very dry today. The leafs are still turning yellow and it seems, that only the ones I identified before are affected. I hope she will make it until harvest 🙏

I plan to change the nutrition to Plagron Alga Bloom instead of Alpha Boost and Soil-SuperMix for the next watering. Hope that this will help the plant to build bigger buds. Do you have suggestions on that? Is there anything else I can do to support the plant on building buds?
Plagron Alga Bloom
NPK = 3-2-5 + amino acids and algae extracts No micros "not a fan of no micros at all or secondary macros like Ca Mg S
Bionova Soil Supermix
NPK = 7-3-6 + Micos and secondary macros
Alpha Boost
NPK 0-0-0 from what I can tell, and contains a lot of extra like microbes and PGR's, im not a huge fan of PGR's they seem to be derived from natural sources vs synthesized but hard to tell and I don't know to much about the difference between the two. I like this prduct for its other aspects with regards to microbe boosting life but not its PGR's
I would stick with the supermix and add in a PK booster with micos to make up the difference, and if you need it, continue with a microbe booster for the plants but maybe not the alpha boost. or use it up and then find a new one.
The brand Bionova has a Micromix that could be usefull, as well as Vitasol that can boost microbes. these is also X-cel but it looks to be their version of alpha boost and main contain more PGR's
I think the easier thing to do is use a pk booster and turn that feed into something more flower friendly.
Eg a 1:1 ratios of supermix + pk boost would yield a npk of aorund 3.5-8-10 and that's not a bad ratio at all. Can always add in a bit more super max one week if it looks to be lacking on N. Plus add in more micros if its needs it if you get that product as well.
a 2:1 supermix+pk boost would be 4.6-6.3-8.6 also not to bad.
Good Luck!
Yesterday, I noticed some leafs starting to turn yellow and also the tips of the top leafs to be a bit brown. So I watered (nutrition in the desc) and calmag 2 ml, because I thought it might be either lack of PK or cal mg. What else can I do? What about my watering schedule?
Looks a bit like magnesium to me.
I don't think its P and doubt its K, but maybe. So stick with the Mg and see how it does in a weeks time. It will take time to green back up. Can also use epsom salts as a source of Mg and S for the plant. It should not progress but if it does it means it might be something else.
The hint of brown tips also might be showing they are being overfed something else. So dial back some of it.

Good Luck!
Day 64: Leafs still turning yellow. I'm really worried, she will not make it until harvest 😔
Day 65: I'm not sure, what's happening. Maybe it's just lack of PK if I take a look at the symptoms and compare it with this sheet (https://420life.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Marijuana-Leaf-Deficiency-Chart-scaled.jpg), I see deficiency of P&K with the purple turning petioles, the brown tips and the yellow of the leafs (see pic in report). I did not check the PH before, so I got myself some testing devices. I watered with 1,5 L water with PH 6,10 and let it sink for a while. After that I watered with additional 1,5 L with the nutrition mentioned above and PH 6,2. With those 3 L of water I finally got some run out. I also removed the leafs, that are too yellow to recover. I hope it's not a nutrition lockout and the feeding supports her.
Day 66: Looks like she liked the watering yesterday. I hope she also likes the nutrition and is able to absorb them. Some of the pistils of some buds start to turn orange (see pics). So, I guess it's about 2-3 weeks until harvest.
Day 67: Nothing to do today. Soil is still moist. I decided to start flushing and to harvest in about 2 weeks, yesterday.
Day 68: I watered today with 1 L without nutrition.
Day 69: Nothing to do today. Soil is still moist. Looks like autumn is there for the plant and the pistils more and more are turning orange 😍
Day 70: Watered her with 1,8 L @PH 6.2. Nothing else to do, except looking at that beauty.

Day 71:I watered her with 1,5 L water. Trichomes getting more and more cloudy (about 70 % already). I changed the light mode to 18/6. before that it was 20/4 and also dimmed to 80%. I hope that will help to ripen.
Day 72: Nothing to do today.
Day73: Today I decided to give her at least a week more, so I watered with 1,5 L with nutrition. (with 3 ml plagron alga bloom & 1 ml plagron green sensation).
Day 74: Nothing to do today.
Day 75: I watered with 1,5 L w/o nutrition and [email protected], today. I also removed some dead leafs. I spotted the first trichomes to turn amber, so I plan to harvest next week.
