Black Domina x Early Skunk, Spanish Seeds. My first photoperiod plant (third plant in total).

vooodi In the first week, I only used the WAKYME lamp in VEG mode. And sometimes I turned on an additional LED lamp to see how the plant would react and to adjust the humidifier and ventilation. I didn't add any nutrients since the soil already has everything needed.

vooodi This week I used the WAKYME lamp in VEG mode. And for a couple of hours a day, I turned on an additional LED lamp. I've come to the conclusion that I can give more light.

vooodi This week I started using two lights during the day (WAKYME in VEG mode and a 200W LED lamp). Thanks to this, the plant isn't stretching, which is what I want.

vooodi When 6 full nodes formed, I started shaping the plant using the main-lining technique. I decided to go with the advanced method from Nebula Haze. Additionally, I decided to try rooting a cutting just in water (without using rooting nutrients).

vooodi Midway through this week, I completed the second stage of bush formation using the main-lining technique. Additionally, I started doing LST more actively for the 8 future stems. By the end of the week, I transplanted the plant into a 20-liter pot. I think I should have done it earlier since the roots were already sticking out from the bottom of the pot. But I was afraid to stress the bush from both training and transplanting at the same time. I also noticed a very small brown spot on a leaf, and the stems of a few leaves started to turn a bit pink, which is a sign of magnesium deficiency. So, I watered the bush for a few days with a calcium-magnesium solution from terra aquatica. I also started spraying the plant with this solution. After addressing the magnesium, I watered the plant for a couple of days with the TriPart solution from terra aquatica, as I realized that the plant had consumed all the nutrients from the soil in 4 weeks. After the transplant, I will stop adding fertilizers again since I'm using nutrient-rich soil.

vooodi This week I was actively doing LST, spreading the stems apart. I removed the large leaves that were giving the plant too much shade. I planted the rooted cutting in the soil. I'm really happy it was able to root! It's clear that it's lacking nutrients. I'll start feeding it right away.

vooodi The clone already looks much better, I've started feeding it TripArt from terra aquatica, it's clear that it needs more nitrogen. The main plant has started to grow faster, and I continue to remove leaves that shade the new shoots. This week isn't over yet, and I have a couple of unresolved tasks: — what to do with the clone, because soon the mother plant needs to be switched to flowering — it would be wise to increase the height of the box Soon I'll be getting a smart temperature and humidity sensor, and a smart plug. I want to set up automatic shutdown for the humidifier and the additional LED lamp, which makes it too hot, when the maximum temperature or humidity is reached.

vooodi This week I bought a box that's 40cm taller than the previous one. Now I can let the bush grow as much as it wants) I transplanted the little bush into a 7-liter pot and gave it a topping. I also gave away the old box to good hands. I got a wire ring so I don't have to tie each stem individually anymore. It's super convenient! This week I did some defoliation and fed the plant CalMag and TriPart. I also discovered Fulvic from Terra Aquatica. It helps break down nutrients, which increases their absorption. From what I've observed, the plant really liked it and started gaining mass more actively.

vooodi I'm continuing to remove leaves as needed. The plant is loving it, actively gaining mass. I'll be switching to flowering next week.

vooodi I got a humidity and temperature sensor, and a smart plug. After connecting everything, I realized that the old hygrometer was lying. After observing the humidity for a bit, I decided to remove the humidifier from the box. I also set up automatic shutdown for one of the lights (the hotter one) when the temperature reaches 30°C, until it drops to 28.5°C. At the end of this week, I did quite a heavy defoliation, removed some lower branches, and switched the plant to a 12/12 schedule. So, technically, flowering starts next week. In reality, the plant will need a couple of weeks before the first signs of flowering appear.

vooodi At the end of last week, I did quite a powerful defoliation, removed some lower shoots, and switched the plant to a 12/12 schedule. I raised the lights as high as they can go and switched the light to flowering mode. Conditionally, flowering starts this week. In reality, the plant will need a couple of weeks before the first signs of flowering appear. Unfortunately, I have to leave for a month, but I will be monitoring the care of the plant via video call. Spoiler: everything will be great with the plant, but there won't be any photos for the next month.

vooodi A little over 2 weeks ago, signs of flowering appeared, but I just now got back to the plant and was able to take a photo. The bush is doing great! It has almost doubled in size over the month. During this time, defoliation was done (in week 13), and I added some soil so the exposed roots wouldn't show. At the end of this week, I started watering with bloom booster.

vooodi The flowers are gaining weight. To prevent the plant from breaking under its own weight in the future, I added an external wire ring. By the end of this week, I'll finish watering with bloom booster, do a flush with flush cleaner, after which I'll switch to Final Part (also known as Ripen).

vooodi These 2 weeks I've been watering FinalPart and watching the buds gain weight. After that, I flushed with Flash Clean and will just water until the harvest. The leaves have started to yellow.

vooodi I'm still just watering with balanced pH water. This week I decided to experiment and did some defoliation since the leaves are almost all yellow and just blocking the buds from light.

vooodi I was sure that I would be harvesting this week... But apparently, because I removed the leaves, the plant found a second wind and decided to grow a little more 😁 Well, we'll wait... Also, without the leaves, the plant started drinking less, but that makes sense for the late flowering stage.

vooodi At the end of this week, I harvested, but I had to do it out of necessity. The top buds started to wilt (photo 1), unlike the rest of the plant, and I suspected something was wrong... I forcibly pulled apart the top flower and got a psychological trauma 😢 Since the very tops were already the size of a fist and very dense, they weren't ventilated inside, moisture accumulated, and mold started to grow 😭😭😭 It looked terrible!!! So much so that I didn't even take a photo. Almost all the beautiful tops went to waste. Thank goodness I noticed it not too late and the mold was only in the densest buds at the very top of the plant. I carefully inspected each cut bud, cut it into pieces to examine everything inside. As a result, I had to throw away 83 grams of the stickiest flowers, the most enjoyable ones 😓 I also didn't think that finely chopped buds, without stems, would dry faster than usual. In total, I ended up with 115 grams of dry (over-dried) flowers. After the harvest, I cut the roots out of curiosity; check it out in the photo. Friends, learn from my experience - keep an eye on the airflow around the plant! And if you have large and dense buds, don't be afraid to disturb them and thoroughly inspect the buds inside, all the way to the stem. And in the end, from this plant, a ganja beetle was born, a protector of the bushes from all sorts of pests 👽 (video)
