First Grow ,Indoor ,Granddaddy Purple

Growi In their first 0.5L pots with Bio Bizz Light Mix, they seem to be on a good path at first glance.

Growi On June 9th, the three ladies were transplanted into their 11-liter pot. The first 15% in the pot is a mix of perlite and the soil substrate Biobizz light mix, while the remaining 75% of the pot is filled with pure Biobizz light. With the background thought of providing the roots with better oxygen and possibly preventing root rot... Before I forget, on June 9th, they were also watered with fertilizer for the first time. About 1.4L per plant.

Growi As you can see, the ladies have handled their move to the new pots well, and they're thanking me with a nice growth spurt. :)

Growi All 3 plants are evenly gaining height and width as you can see. The amount of nutrients has now been adjusted to the recommendation for growth. 🙏🏽

Growi As you can see, I haven't made any major interventions like removing leaves yet. Since this is my first grow, I'm being very cautious about it, but I'm aware that large leaves could cover small new shoots/buds... However, since I still have 2 weeks of the vegetative phase ahead of me, I'm not too worried about it for now.

Growi Tag 36 I hope the ladies handle the cut without any issues, and let's see how the LST makes a difference. I'm excited to see how things go next week :) 🙏🏽🙌🏽

Growi Today is the day, it's time to flower! I'm reducing the light from 18 to 12 hours. I should mention that over the past few days, I've already been giving them one hour less light each day to kind of initiate the cycle. As you can see, the ladies have also been radically thinned/cut again, and the Low Stress Training has been slightly intensified. The light schedule will be from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM so I can still water them in peace after work, etc. ^^ The nutrient amount is adjusted according to the pre-flowering schedule from T.A. In between, I noticed some slight signs of over-fertilization on one of the three plants, so I'll keep an eye on that and water it for a few days without nutrients or at least with a bit less. It’s worth observing...

Growi Tag 50 By now, it's clearly visible which plant is showing deficiency symptoms. I've removed all the dry, partially brown leaves due to the deficiencies, so it's as bare as it was last week... Considering it's a bit stubborn and showing deficiency symptoms, the other two plants are doing much better, which makes me very happy. So far, all three have handled the heavy defoliation from last week well, and the first week of the flowering phase is passing by. 🙏😊

Growi Tag 57 Now the first 2 weeks of flowering have passed, the first buds are clearly visible and as far as I can tell, they are in a good stage of development. The plant that showed deficiencies in the form of brown rust spots was treated with an algae mixture and a potassium powder, which I also gave to the other two plants as a preventative measure. I have adjusted the feeding schedule to the Flowering from T.A.

Growi The plant that showed deficiencies is also the smallest at 57 cm. The largest of the ladies is currently 69 cm, and the third one should be about 63 cm. To protect against little gnats or anything else, I added 2 yellow sticky traps so they don't mess with the buds, that's my thought 😅. So now we are starting week 4 of flowering...

Growi Tag 71 The diva is showing her best side again when it comes to deficiencies, well I'm just going to keep pushing her as mentioned... Other than that, everything is in the green zone, the only thing that worries me a bit is monitoring the temperature. Unfortunately, I've been scratching at 30 degrees more often lately... Still, I'm looking positively into week 5 ^^

Growi Tag 78 Right now, I'm still struggling against the high weather temperatures and trying to provide the plants in the tent with the best possible conditions... which, to be honest, isn't easy due to the outside temperature. So far, the plants look pretty good overall, and I'm actually satisfied, but there's always room for more and better ^^ Let's kick off week 6 😇🙌

Growi Tag 85 Due to the changeable weather, the humidity is a bit of a thing, I always fluctuate between 40-60%. But we're slowly approaching the finish line. The buds are visibly gaining mass, about 4 more weeks and they should be ready for harvest, but until then, I'm going to buy a magnifying glass to make sure the trichome heads are ready. :) I also got a Flash Cleaner from T.A, and then at the end, I'll flush again to make sure the plant is really clean. Keep Growing Fam, until the next update. 💪

Growi Tag 92, Just 2-3 more weeks and the ladies' days should be numbered. 😍🙌👏

Growi Tag 100. Due to certain circumstances, I've only been able to document this partially. In the coming two weeks, I will keep a close eye on when the ladies are perfectly ready for harvest. The one on the left, which had some clear issues and caused some trouble in between, has really turned around in hindsight, I would say. I think that's why it still has this juicy green compared to the other two. I'm not exactly sure when I'll start the flush and stop the nutrients, maybe another week like before and then flush... Let's go Week 15! 💪🙌

Growi Tag 106 This week, I watered for the last time with nutrients on 09/07, then I'll water once with Flash on 09/10, and after that, I'll water once with cold water on 09/13. After that, I will leave the plants in the dark for 48 hours on the 16th-17th and then cut them and hang them up to dry. At least that's the plan; of course, I might change my mind and postpone it by a few days ^^

Growi Tag 113. Regarding the yield, I'll come back with the next weekly harvest update. I didn't weigh the plants when they were wet... Now let's see, 7-14 days in the tent and then continue processing and fermenting... As of 09/29: The first consumption test will follow in about 4 weeks; I want to ferment a bit more for quality. It went too well... Unfortunately, I had to throw the main cola of the first plant in the trash because it was slightly marked by mold/waterlogging during the drying process despite a constant 20 degrees and 55% humidity in the drying chamber, but with the small amount, it's manageable since the rest of the harvest remained undamaged. 🙏😇🙏
