Alpaca Development speeding up

Alpaca big growth spurt this week, white hairs showing up in lots of places

Alpaca so week 5 has started, growth really picked up last week and shes showing white hairs in lots of places now, expecting her to start flowering late this week. Looking forward to see her stretch, with the six side branches she threw up in the last 3 days. Ive begun tucking some fan leaves under side branches to promote their growth and hopefully let them catch up. day 31 and she just creates node number 8, every node having 2 side branches Day 32, new light came in, led COB drawing 150 watts, more than enough for my tent. I hope the dwarfs will enjoy this for flowering. Cheap carbon filter came too, works like a charm, smell is gone. Did some more tucking, 5 sidebranches are now poking through the canopy, super excited for flowering now. Day 35, end of week 5. Stretching finally started, about 3cm of height per day now. The tops of the stems are showing more and more white hairs that are kind of tucked in. Flowering begins next week for sure

Alpaca About 3 of my leaves have spider mite holes so I'm keeping a close eye on them. there appear to be very few of them but I'm cutting down leaves that are affected. Also removed the first 4 sets of leaves because they had tiny larvae on them eating the leaves, just my luck. Other than that the plants are looking great, flowering started and the plant is stretching a a healthy pace.. Day 37, we broke 40cm on the bigger dwarf. My light is already almost the highest it'll go, they seem to handle the new light very well, the improvement is beyond obvious ( the light was only 40 bucks ). Day 39 both plants are now standing at 53 cm tall. Meaning in 48 hours the first girl free 13 cm and the second girl about 16 cm. That's crazy Day 40 already, I hope growth slows down a bit, my light won't go much higher. They're both already at 20cm for the light, which they are enjoying but still. Day 41, second plant is officially taller at around 63cm compared the the first girl at 58 cm. Please stop growing soon Last day for week 6, we definitely had our flower stretch and the girls are 62 and 78 cm. I made a last janky adjustments to get the lights higher so hopefully girl 2 stops growing soon so she doesn't burn herself

Alpaca Day44, first girl stopped growing and is going full flower now at 65cm , second girl in the back is turning into some kind of freak experiment and she's about 85cm. Also moved my carbon filter while the plants were in the tent, biggest mistake so far. Snapped two branches off my little third plant, and snapped a branch from my second girl with budsites on it. Taped it though and the leaves still look healthy after 6 hours. day 45, not much going on. Both plants have stopped stretching it seems so the buds are coming hopefully Day 46, was hoping for the flowering to have advanced a bit farther but I'll be patient Second girl is showing some heat stress at the top, can't really do much about that, wasn't expecting a 90cm "dwarf". I thought of one last way to move the light up if I really need to. Day 47, I said they stopped growing... Whoops. Second plant is 1,05 meters and first is 70cm. I hope they stop I'd like to close this week by saying in very pleased with overall progress. They're definitely not early girls but their size will definitely make up for that when the plants finish around week 11 ( that's my prediction). There is some crystal production going on around the flowers and some sugar leaves are becoming apparent too. Second girl outgrew my light adjustment possibilities and as a result is about 7cm from my light, I made up for it by placing the light between the plants so the main colas arent receiving a huge blast, but at about 120cm she's surely going to deliver some nice bud (she's twice as heavy as my first girl too).

Alpaca Didn't know flowering leaves were a thing but it's and interesting thing to keep track of. First girl is very thirsty, her soil dries very fast compared to the second girl. Both flowering nicely

Alpaca Moved the tent to a colder room to keep temps down

Alpaca No more nutes probably. Harvest is approaching, trichomes are mostly milky with a few transparent and a few ambers. Sorry for the sudden less frequent pictures. I've been obsessing a bit less over my plants. First girl definitely has a deficiency but I don't think it really makes a difference to fix it at this point. Absolutely love the second girl, she's looking amazing and her buds are super dense
