###Update day 70: Hemprietta has been lightly defoliated, especially below the 5th node beneath the buds. I didn’t defoliate much at the start of the flowering phase because, given the insufficient nutrient supply at the time, I didn’t think it was the right thing to do. Now I’m leaving a few more leaves intact, even if that means some popcorn buds will develop. I don’t have much experience with defoliation, and given the plant’s history, I don’t want to remove too much all at once in the middle of flowering. A few popcorn buds are certainly better than no harvest at all :-) I could always harvest progressively later to give the popcorn buds a bit more time to catch up. Let’s see how it goes. I’m pretty happy with how things are going right now! Let’s go, Hemprietta, you’ve got this! ----- Hemprietta wurde leicht entlaubt. Insbesondere unterhalb der 5 Nodie unterhalb der Blüten. Ich hatte zu Beginn der Blütephase wenig entlaubt, denn auf Grund der zu niedrigen Nährstoffversorgung hielt ich es nicht für richtig. Ich lasse nun auch wieder etwas mehr Blätter stehen, auch wenn dann wohl ein paar Popcornbuds entstehen. Ich habe keine Erfahrung mit Entlauben und mit der Vorgeschichte möchte ich jetzt auch nicht zu viel auf einmal mitten in der Blüte wegschneiden... Ein paar Popcornbuds sind sicherlich besser als gar keine Ernte :-) Ich kann ja dann auch progressiv ernten, um den Popcornbuds etwas mehr Zeit zum aufholen geben zu können. Mal sehen wie es weitergeht. Ich bin doch recht glücklich mit dem aktuellen Verlauf! Lets Go Hemprietta du machst das schon! ###Update day 71: After adding fertilizer, the pH value of the irrigation water (probably due to the low buffering capacity of the soft tap water) drops, according to testing with pH strips, to a pH value of 5.75 to 6. So today, I tried to counteract this with baking soda. Of course, I used the fancy one with saffron dye, so everything turns nice and yellow... :-D It was the only option I had at the moment. ChatGPT suggests proceeding as follows to raise the pH value from 6 to 6.5 — and it sounds somewhat plausible: "Here’s a simpler method to raise the pH value with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), based on the hardness of your water: # Step 1: Determine Water Hardness Water hardness indicates how much calcium and magnesium are dissolved in your water. You can often ask your water supplier for this information or measure it yourself with test strips. Soft water: 8°dH (low buffering capacity, pH reacts quickly). Moderate water: 8–14°dH (pH reacts moderately). Hard water: 14°dH (pH reacts slowly). # Step 2: Starting Amounts for Baking Soda Start adding baking soda in small increments. The harder the water, the more baking soda is needed: Soft water: Start with 0.2 g/L (about 1 pinch per liter). Moderate water: Start with 0.5 g/L (about 1/8 teaspoon per liter). Hard water: Start with 1 g/L (about 1/4 teaspoon per liter). # Step 3: Measure the pH Value After each addition of baking soda: 1. Stir the water thoroughly to dissolve the sodium bicarbonate. 2. Wait 5–10 minutes for the pH to stabilize. 3. Measure the pH with a test strip or pH meter. # Step 4: Fine-Tuning If the pH value has not yet reached 6.5, add more baking soda in increments of 0.1 g/L (a small pinch). Measure the pH again until the desired value is achieved. --- Note on Safety: Avoid overcorrection: A pH value above 7 can cause nutrient lockout. Always ensure the water is mixed thoroughly." ----- Nach der Düngemittelzugabe rutscht der pH Wert des Gießwasser (vermutlich auf Grund der geringen Pufferkapazität des weichen Leitungswassers) nach Testung mit Teststreifen auf einen pH-Wert von 5.75 bis 6. Daher habe ich heute versucht mit Backpulver gegenszusteuern. Natürlich das gute mit Safranfarbstoff damit alles schön gelb wird... :-D Was anderes hatte ich spontan nicht da. ChatGpt sagt mir ich soll wie folgt vorgehen, um den pH-Wert von 6 auf 6.5 anzuheben - das klingt irgendwie plausibel: "Hier ist eine einfachere Methode, um den pH-Wert mit Backpulver (Natriumbicarbonat) anzuheben, basierend auf der Härte deines Wassers: # Schritt 1: Wasserhärte bestimmen Die Wasserhärte gibt an, wie viel Kalzium und Magnesium in deinem Wasser gelöst ist. Du kannst die Härte oft beim Wasserwerk erfragen oder mit einem Teststreifen selbst messen. Weiches Wasser: 8°dH (geringe Pufferwirkung, pH reagiert schnell). Mittleres Wasser: 8–14°dH (pH reagiert moderat). Hartes Wasser: 14°dH (pH reagiert langsam). # Schritt 2: Anhaltswerte für Backpulver Beginne mit der Zugabe von Backpulver in kleinen Schritten. Je härter das Wasser, desto mehr Backpulver wird benötigt: Weiches Wasser: Start mit 0.2 g/L (ca. 1 Messerspitze pro Liter). Mittleres Wasser: Start mit 0.5 g/L (ca. 1/8 Teelöffel pro Liter). Hartes Wasser: Start mit 1 g/L (ca. 1/4 Teelöffel pro Liter). # Schritt 3: pH-Wert messen Nach jeder Zugabe von Backpulver: 1. Rühre das Wasser gründlich um, damit sich das Natriumbicarbonat löst. 2. Warte 5–10 Minuten, damit der pH-Wert stabil wird. 3. Messe den pH-Wert mit einem Teststreifen oder pH-Meter. # Schritt 4: Feintuning Wenn der pH-Wert noch nicht bei 6.5 ist, füge in 0.1 g/L-Schritten (eine Prise) mehr Backpulver hinzu. Miss den pH-Wert erneut, bis du den gewünschten Wert erreicht hast. --- Hinweis zur Sicherheit Vermeide eine Überkorrektur: Ein pH-Wert über 7 kann Nährstoffblockaden verursachen. Achte darauf, das Wasser immer gründlich zu mischen."

The brown spots are appearing more prominently on the older leaves. Overall, the color of the leaves is rather light green compared to other grow diaries. What could I do to fix the deficiency?

I would advise staying away from metal for training. I have snapped a few branches over the years using them I like to use lst grow pots that have holes around the top. You can use string to gently pull each branch where you want.

@Blackbox, I just saw your yarn and clip technique. That is awesome. Super simple but very

@Blackbox, no problem. I actually keep a roll of cheap yarn by my tent at all times for training.

@Greg_McGregerberger, Thank you very much for your tip! I actually noticed that two of the shoots were damaged when I checked 12 hours after the training. Thanks to your advice, I’ve now fixed all the shoots, except for the main branches, using string and foldback clips.

Looking great. I like the 4 branch mainline. Started two laughing buddhas last week along side some sour strawberry. Going to choose the best ones and give away the others.
