🌳Fourth Week🌳 - came back a little bit to late - had to water the plants! - defoliated/lollipopped the random plant (first time lollipopping .. i think it's ok) + it was a good decision, one leaf was moldy with small parasites + changed the lightcycle to 12/12 and put a fan into the growroom - Ak-Auto developes bigger preflower - Apple Strudel also started preflowering (tiny pistils)

🍃Week 6🍃 - while defoliation i´ve found a caterpillar on the Ak - luckily there wasnt much damage on the plant - the flower of the Ak getting bigger every day - grows pretty fast (but it isn´t the biggest plant) - Apple Strudel grows very fast - problem: can´t increase the height of the lamp - had to tie the top of the plant to the side (didn´t want to top the plant) - flower of random strain finally looks promising
