Super Lemon Haze

They look stressed. My guess is that something is off with the germination medium. I used a mix of 1/3 perlite, 1/3 turf and 1/3 worm castings with 100g of mycorrhizae added in 5L of soil. My plan is to transplant them to a no-till bed next week and wait to see if they recover.

Transplanted them to no-till bed 5 days ago. They seem to be recovering in growth, except for the twins.

This week gnat warfare was declared. Had to spread a layer of diatomaceous earth and cover it with perlite on the top of the pots to prevent gnats from conquering all my grow space. Watering on bare minimum to help reduce gnats proliferation. The plants look stressed, i found a bunch of larvae on the roots of the cover crop, but they don't stop growing.

One week after the DE cover up and the gnats dropped considerably. The plants were topped and kept growing without any stress. Still watering on bare minimum.

The gnats are pretty much gone, I’ll keep the DE cover on top for two more weeks to be safe. The plants recovered well from topping and had their main stems tied dow.

That was the last 18h light feed week, closing the 6 week vegetation cycle and filling the 120L no till bed in green. This marks the end of the vegetation period. I'll start the 12h light cycle today. A second 240W quantum board was placed above the canopy and they are receiving 600ppfd with 480w of lights with 60cm of distance.

First week of 12h light schedule, they are stretching fast and drinking way more water than the week before. No pistils have been seen yet. The gnats problem seems to be solved.

Buds started to form alongside the flowering stretch. They have been defoliated to improve light penetration.

They are still stretching, and the buds grew noticeably faster this week. The soil is drying rapidly, they are drinking 5 to 7 liters of water every 2 or 3 days. Did some minor exfoliation removing some fan leaves that were growing inwards the canopy middle. The green area is measuring 75x75cm (ish) and the bigger plant is 55cm in height.

The buds are growing faster than last week, and the plants aren't stretching anymore. I was expecting a bigger flower stretch with this strain but perhaps the little spacement on the pot capped their size. They are drinking a lot more water, the pot usually dry in two days and I pour 7.5 to 10 liters each watering. The lower section of the plants was defoliated in this week too.

Couldn't take many photos on this particular week.

They are starting to fade, a little bit earlier than I expected due to the 10-week flowering time of this strain.

49 days flowering and they are still gaining weight, one of the plants started bending and I had to improvise a pole to sustain it. They are drinking the same 10L of water every two or three days as the other flowering weeks. I plan to keep a closer look at the trichomes from now on to see when the harvest day is close, I think they have two more weeks of flowering.

56F, I guess we have two more weeks to go. The smell got stronger and more fruity with some mintiness. Most of buds are showing milky and clear trichomes with almost no amber.

63F, last week.

70F, they have not received water for the last 3 days, I'll wait two more days to chop them down. The smell is sweet and citrusy.
