piejeys I watered about 300ml of water every 3 days when the soil was dry

piejeys About the same watering schedule as last week, with slowly increasing amounts of water. She is slowly picking up pace If you rub the leaves, there is a sweet fruity, slightly sour candy/gummy bear smell, smells amazing.

piejeys She now gets about 1 liter of water every two days. Slowly an odor can be noticed when the tent is opened. The first signs of flowering were already visible on day 16.

piejeys The plant is growing fantastically, looks fantastic and smells very good. It has really shot up this week and has quickly gone into flowering. Occasionally I've seen some signs of nitrogen toxicity, this has increased over the last few days, so on day 28 I watered it more heavily to fully saturate the medium for the first time and to produce drainage. This had a pH value of just under 6, so from now on I will only adjust the pH value of the irrigation water every second time, from the moment the drain has a pH value of 6.5. The plant seems to have already recovered from this flush today on day 29.

piejeys The plant has continued to grow very well this week. Growth is slowing down and it is starting to concentrate more and more on the flowers, and it has been producing trichomes for the last two days. On day 34, I added some more soil with a higher perlite content to fill up the fabric pot a little more, as I had originally used too little soil. I also removed some lower foliage on day 33 to make watering easier and to improve the air circulation. Next week, when the stretch is finished, I plan to remove the lowest branches and bud attachments and remove more leaves so that there will be no problems with humidity spikes. It currently gets about 2 liters of water every three days.

piejeys This week started well and although I would also describe the growth of the plant as good, not everything went optimally this week. Growth this week has clearly concentrated on the buds. I haven't taken down the low branches yet, although it's getting very cramped in my small tent. I continued the light defoliation slowly in the first half of the week to improve airflow at the bottom of the plant. In the second half of the week, I noticed that the plant had slowly started to droop its leaf tips. On Friday evening I noticed that many of the leaf tips had burnt during the day, so I decided to water again straight away. I can imagine that this was caused by an incorrect pH value or too many nutrients. The last time I watered before, I adjusted the pH value again to approx. 6.5. I have only been doing this irregularly for about 3 weeks as BioTabs advertises that the pH value of the water does not need to be adjusted and I have now read several times that it is not necessary to adjust the pH value when growing organically (dont take that as a fact from me, but it seems like with my conditions the plant likes normal/unadjusted tap water a little better). The plant has responded well to watering/light flush and the clawing signs are gone, but I'm not sure yet how to interpret the slight yellow tones on the sugar leaves on the top bud.

piejeys All in all, the week went well, the plant is visibly doing well so far and growth is progressing. More and more orange pistils are appearing and the smell is also continuing to develop, even though I can't quite put my finger on it yet. This week I was mainly concerned with the high humidity, which unfortunately I can't do anything about at the moment. I also noticed some brown patches on some of the leaves at the end of the week, which I can't currently attribute to any disease or insect infestation.

piejeys This week went without any problems. During a watering on Friday, I added some Bio-Heaven and Top-Max to test the plant's reaction, as it was starting to look like it was getting a bit hungry. I also added some Bactrex. How long do you think she'll need?

piejeys This week has not gone without problems, my new tent arrived on Tuesday and I set it up on Wednesday. In the evening I moved the plant into the new larger tent. Since then the humidity has been constantly lower (from approx. 54% RH to approx. 48%). After moving, I had to stabilize many of the branches, as they were bending due to the excessive weight of the buds. At the end of the week I also discovered what looks like the base for nanas, which I couldn't and didn't want to remove because I didn't have the necessary tools. I am currently assuming that this was caused by light stress or by stress caused by moving the plant. I intend to wait and see and remove them at the next opportunity if necessary.

piejeys Last week didn't go perfectly again, this time because I was away for the holidays and I didn't have an automatic watering system. I did build myself a self-watering base, but the amount of water wasn't enough for the whole week. Many of the leaves dried out, but overall the plant survived the week better than I expected. Visually, the plant looks good and it smells fantastically sweet, fruity and berry in the tent. Now it's time to wait for more milky trichomes. When I checked, I could already see some amber colored trichomes, but I don't know whether this is due to the dryness or the ripeness. We'll see
