Day 24 of veg, topped four of the plants since the small ones need time to catch up. Strelka and Forbidden Dream being the smallest ones. I water once daily for 10 minutes, but all of the water wont get out of the tray. Im going to veg for 10 more days atleast.
Plants are growing strong, some showing deficiencies. Fixing those and then placing a Scrog net. Waiting a week maximum before going to flower, just a little longer for the Strelka, Raspberry Parfaits and Forbidden Dream to catch up.
6.11 Plant #8 (Reijo's Special) turned out to be a male so I cut it down. Took cuttings from the plants, looks like Forbidden Dream, Strelka and the two Raspberry Parfaits are gonna stay pretty small, not sure if it would be better to just turn those plants into cuttings and run them another time.
8.11 Crushed stems from Triple Cheese to limit the vertical growth on that one. Plants are stretching like crazy, not sure if I should restrict the growth with a net or just use trellis net for support. We will see later when stretch is starting to slow down. Also added a second led light into the tent. Going to flower with 300 watts total, 150 watts each led light.
12.11 Plants are stretching like crazy. I took the far red puck off just to be sure that I don't have a faulty timer. Atleast a week of stretch left, not sure how to control these plants.
15.11 had to add a trellis net since the plants started to get floppy.
17.11 Used velcro tape to attach tops to the trellis net. Will keep training to the net until the plants stop stretching.
21.11 Defoliated the whole tent. Culled Strelka & Forbidden Dream since the other plants just shaded those two too much, didn't even see preflowers on either one. Used vacuum sealer to cover the smell coming from the defoliated leaves. Left with 9 plants, sadly #7 Triple Cheese had some male preflowers as well with the female ones so I have to be careful with that plant not fucking up the whole tent.
25.11 Day 22 of flower, plants have recovered from the massive defoliation, just a little bit of leaf tips burning, so nothing major.
PH seems to sail between 5.9 and 6.3 inside the water tank, soon when the nutrient feed rises there won't be a need for ph control since the nutrients do it pretty much automatically. I still do check the tank but from my previous experiences its usually not necessary.
Since last time I added Mammoth P to the nutrient feed at 0.16ml/L, I also give Raw Silica weekly at 1/4 tsp/gal rate. I stopped giving Rhizotonic but am thinking about adding PK13/14 as a small addition to the existing nutrient feed.
28.11 Day 25, some plants look a little pale but some really dark green. Going to see if the paleness goes worse, if not im going to aim for a nice middle ground between all the plants.
30.11 Removed more overlapping fanleaves from the tent to lower humidity inside the tent. It worked nicely.
2.12 Plants look really nice, started to bring up the EC just now. Managed to raise leds just a little bit higher, still a bit close for my liking but we will see ;)
7.12 Made new nutrient waters with 2ml of A+B, ran out of Cannazym just now.
8.12 F35 I tried to take good pictures of each plants nugs but it was hard to get some pictures sharp with my phone. Anyways, it should be enough to see different nug structures and leaf sizes. Couple plants have crazy amounts of roots growing out of the pots, some have none at all. Plants give out really strong smell when you open the tent door, really nice :)
13.12 F40 Nugs are fattening up really nicely, only Phantom OG is really left behind in nug size compared to the rest. Malibu Shock is looking really fat!
16.12 F43 Did some defoliation for the tent to lower the RH% since both of my dehumidifiers are already running 24/7. Some brown hairs have appeared on some nugs, Phantom OG nugs are so tiny! Rejio's Special doesn't seem that frosty, but I still hope the effects are there. Couple absolute snow monsters in the tent to compensate ;) Leaves on plants have super dark green hue and some tips were starting to burn further up so I started to lower the EC slowly. Going from 1.4 to 1.2 slowly while filling the reservoir, should be just fine!
23.12 F50 Tent is reeking when I open up the zippers, crazy how much the plants can smell! Really liking the development of the nugs, looks like Malibu Shockwave is going to have biggest nugs in the end but we will see!
30.12 F57 I noticed some of the Malibu Pie x Shockwave plants are getting scorched by the right side led light but nothing much I can do about it at this point. Hoping the leaves on the top nugs still have some nutrients left to finish flowering, gotta keep an eye on that. Other than that its just smooth sailing, plants drink less than usually by maybe 2litres (10L -- 8L a day)
2.1 I checked trichomes on the most ready looking plants (Triple Cheese, Raspberry parfait) and those were mostly cloudy. Looks like 3-5 days and I will be chopping the first plants / tops.
3.1 Tried to take better pictures but some still come out blurry, sorry about that.
4.1 Watered the plants by hand with only water, tomorrow we will continue with Ebb&Flood until there is some space for another hand water. I don't wanna overflow the tank by handwatering ;)
6.1 Im handwatering the plants every two days and using automated flood every other day at this point. When I handwater I only use water, right now res PH is at 6.0 and EC at 0.8.
7.1 I Harvested two Raspberry Parfait #9 tops since those had like 15-20% Amber trichomes already. Also chopped one Malibu Shock #2 top since nutrient leeching from the leaves moved too close to nug.
12.1 Tdoay is F70, last day for most of these plants! Only Reijos Special #4 is still standing, I lowered both of the lights to 20cm distance and let that plant finish in peace. I assembled a second tent to be used as a drying tent, connecting it to the 2x4 intake. Triple Cheese, Malibu Shocks and Dreadnaught x GDP were super heavy in harvest, others a little less heavy but still packing heat. Only Phantom OG disappointed me this time, not sure because it sitting in too much water all the time or what, the plant just never started to give out proper nugs, only small larf. 2/3 of the times it has been all right so not that depressed about it.
13.1 Moved my clones from the small tent into 2x4 so I managed to move Reijo to smaller tent. No point keeping the whole 2x4 for one larfy plant so now its all good.
16.1 Maybe couple more days, my patience is running out :P
Plant #5, Phantom OG Yielded 5g dry Just enough for one big blunt lol. What can I say, worst pheno of this strain that I've seen so far, just short and stunted all the time. Smoke is nice on the nugs as it has been before but it would be depressing to have this as a only plant. Im giving 3/10 because I know it is a nice strain but this time it was a complete, total failure.
Phantom OG effects are really nice, body relaxing, mind energizing, music sounds great and makes your body move without you noticing. Taste is spicy & kushy, with a undertone of lemon.
5g dry yielded from plant.

Plant #1 yielded 74g dry, plant #2 yielded 76g dry. Both plants were pretty similar in growth structure, you can see the high amount of pistils coming from Malibu Pie and golf ball shaped nugs from Shockwave side. Smell is fatty, oily, gasoline mixed together with some limey funkiness mixed in. Effect is pretty energizing, makes you do things rather than sit you down to your chair. Eventually, if you keep smoking it will sit you down, but pretty pleasantly.
Plant yielded 56g dry. Grows pretty uniform, with lots of spiraling pistils. Solid, solid nuggets, you wouldn't believe how much a tiny weed nug can weigh. Plant also has those Alien Rift frost rails that you can see on the last three weeks, pretty crazy looking! Weed has Key lime pie and incense scent as a mix, depends on how you consume it. After a couple month cure it becomes much stronger, almost pass out level high when you take a big bong rip of this. Slightly paranoid but still relaxing, body and muscles go numb. If you smoke too much you will just stare forward without anything in your mind.
Plant yielded 56grams dry. Didn't like how the plant grows, doesn't like same amount of nutrients as the rest of the plants so pretty finicky. Would have taken too long to finish properly so cannot speak truly about the strain. Taste on this is very piney, you can smell pine forest straight away. Also has a slight scallion that comes after that pine. High is pretty mild, more of a summertime park smoke if you wanna smoke just for the hell of it. Sad part is this also had some seeds inside the buds so not that pleasant this time.

Looks amazing! I am really excited to see the Raspberry Parfait out there. Thinking about Pheno Hunting this Strain for a while now.
I wish you luck with all your efforts 💚
@piejeys, Raspberry parfait is looking crazy frosty right now, going to add some more pictures later today but damn! And that purple hue too, it just look crazy tasty!
Bro, dark green leaves may be a sign of phosphorus deficiency, and yellowing of the tips is a sign of potassium deficiency. In my opinion, it is more likely at this stage of flowering.
@Seeweed, In this case Nitrogen Toxicity is more likely, you can notice the end of leaves starting to droop, in claw like form. Leaf tips burning might be several things: water reservoir getting too low on water and plants getting insufficient water for one day, lights blasting too close at too high intensity, from too high EC raise. Could be any of these, but at this point im not going to start raising my feed since overdoing it might affect the quality of the end product. But thanks for bringing this up, always good to get different opinions on stuff like this ;)
