1/3 of recommended AB 1/2 of recommended roots Germinated Nuggz earlier than the Wedding Cake Edit: day 5 or so I stepped up the nutes to 0.8ml/L of A/B, resulting in an EC of 0.65 (pH still kept at 6.0). At this point I also added 0.4g/L of Silicate (terra aquatica)

Added 0.3 GRAMS (not ml, but it doesnt give the option to set grams) per liter of Silicate. Upping the nutes as I suspect they have cal deficiency due to the wrinkly leaves. Growth is speeding up. Largest plant, Nuggz, has roots at the bottom of the pot.

Edit: topped the Nuggz and applied some stakes for LST. Some issues which I am still trying to fix. 1: my Nuggz is stacking its nodes very tightly, causing bad light penetration. Possible solution: raising the lights height 2: Both plants are somewhat stunted and show rusty spots on fan leaves. Possible solution: removing Power Roots so they do not compete with other nutrients. Raising A/B as I suspect this is caused by a deficiency. I also try to up the temperature so they recover more quickly as they are able to uptake more nutrients. I have also ordered some liquid pH test drops to make sure that my Adwa ph pen is not lying to me.

Topped Ethos aggressively to let RQS catch up. Continuous LST and light defoliation. Plants drink a bit more and a bit stronger now. Thinking of flipping anywhere from 5-10 days from now. Fungus gnats are present so I’ll feed some nematodes soon.

Flipped to 12/12 three days ago since these pics been taken. Slightly increased feeding strength. Also fed nematodes to combat the small gnat population. Still light LST. Lets see how they stretch, then do one more heavy defoliation round and then it’s time to sit back and enjoy the show.

Upped feed a little bit. Water from dehum starts at 0EC. Added scrog net - first time. Unfortunately these phenos dont stretch that much which makes a net less effective. Did another big defoliation round. Light is at 100% now, drawing 176W and at 65cm provides 490PPFD.

Pistils stacking up now. Stretch is about finished. Still feeding AB at full strength. Will soon cut some AB for 0.1ml/L of both Green Sensations and P/K13/14.

They’re done stretching now. Slowly scaling down A/B and very carefully adding GS & PK13/14. Macro shot with iPhone 16 pro. Slight editing in lightroom.

Did a last attempt at defoliating, but it is kinda hard now that there’s buds and trichomes. Slowly decreasing A/B.

Nuggz is fattening up and showing purple. Wedding Cake is still a bit skinnier and lagging behind. Both plants are starting to show orange stigmas. Nuggz is very loud. Sweet, fruity, berry like terps. WC not so loud and more generic smell - mostly earthy/gassy smell, just not as strong unfortunately.

Magnesium Sulphate: 0.2GRAM per liter Cutting N by greatly reducing A/B. Still feeding bloom boosters full strength. Adding MagSulph.

Great plant to grow. Didn’t give a shit about the gnats or about topping. Even went through some cold nights and still hasn’t hermed or stalled. I vaped it and it is really nice and smooth. Subtle fruity taste and really strong egfevts

Ich gratuliere zur Ernte. Wenn sie genauso lecker sind wie schön wird das ein toller Jahresbeginn. Die Temps sind jetzt für uns beide super zum langsam trocknen. Ich habe auch vor 2 Tagen meine Geerntet. Die Winter Ernte ist immer die beste. Ich lasse meine gerne etwas länger stehen bis eindeutig Bernsteinfarbige Trichs sehen kann aber das ist pers. Preferenz. was steht als nächstes im Garten ??. Komm gut ins neue Jahr Kumpel.
the end.
