marcian Finishing the second week.
After all the stress they've been through, they seem to have recovered; they were stagnant for several days.
The phenotype #1 that I was already considering discarding has taken shape.
#2 is the healthiest, and #3 is meh.
I won't do any pruning since they look quite indica.
24 hours of light due to the cold; next week I'll add a 320W Piranha LED to start pre-flowering with full intensity and I'll change the 400W bulb for a 600W Sodium.

marcian I added a 320w LED light (Piranha Tesla) and replaced the 400w HM with a 600w Sodium. Did some low pruning and not so aggressive defoliation. I don't think they'll go over 70 cm, #2 is still the prettiest with a very pronounced Christmas tree shape. On days when I'm not using top auto, I use Biogrow. pH by eye because I didn't have the pH meter calibrated, from now on they'll be going with a more controlled pH to get the most out of them.

marcian They entered flowering a few days ago, and in the previous days, I did another defoliation; they grew giant leaves with super short internodal distance.
First time using Big One. I used it as a foliar spray; next time, I'll apply it directly to the substrate.
I'm being more rigorous with the pH; until now, I haven't measured it due to time constraints and because the pH meter always gets uncalibrated. I've been measuring for three waterings and calibrating the pH meter before measuring. Next, I'll measure the EC of the runoff.
I started watering with 1.3 L per pot and increased the fertilizers. I use the Top Crop brand once a week (Top Auto and Top Candy) as their official page suggests, and on the other days, I use Bio Grow (4ml/L) and Bio Bloom (2ml/L).
I've never grown such indica varieties before; at first, I was worried about their size, but I guess it's due to their stress in the first weeks, the cold, and their indica genotype.
I raised phenotypes #1 and #3 a bit so they all get even light; #2 is leaning with droopy leaves. I don't think it's due to water stress; it's the one that takes the most unfiltered water (1.5L approx). I haven't measured the runoff EC; if it continues like this, I will, although I don't think so because I water with low EC. I don't think it's overwatered because it's always the lightest when I do the waterings. I read that it could be excess light, so I'll try to use an 18/6 cycle. I just need to buy another timer.
Light: Pirnaha Led Tesla 320w + Sodium 600w

marcian Finishing the 6th week.
I've been working on them just like the Xtrem.
The #2 is fully in bloom, it's the one that asks for water the most, I'm watering with two liters every two days.
The #3 just started showing pistils, it's lagging in bloom compared to the #2, but it's the one that recovered best from its stress. It was stuck for a whole week in the second week due to my cats' attack, but it recovered and was able to produce this beautiful plant.
The #3 is my favorite in shape, its side branches reach the main one.
The #1 is the smallest of all, just in pre-flower.

marcian 8th Week
In the last watering, I measured the output pH and it was low in pH and EC, so I bought a CalMag and a pH down from Bio Bizz to raise it and be more precise. There are some deficiencies visible in their pale leaves.
Phenotypes #2 and #3 are further along in flowering.
I did another defoliation.

The Mazar were the most affected by the stress from low temperatures, excess watering, and low humidity.
In the Auto Xtrem grow, I detailed more about what happened.
