First Grow

young plants hat slightly burnt leaf tips, probably due to overwatering. This slowed growth in the beginning

the small plant was germinated 10 days later than the other plants as a backup. Topping might have happend to early on and stunned growth for several days.

minimal burnt tips made me flush at the beginning of week 4. Furthermore I repeadedly cut of leafes blocking node sides.

I left for christmas and had my roommates take care of the plants. They are getting dunked every 6th day now. So they have to deal with a little drought stress. This also means LST is done for now and I will let the plants grow upwards now. I intend to use a Trellis later on for an even cannopy. I intend to send the plants into flower in two weeks, and hope they do not grow to fast, because of the small 2x2 tent I am using. I measured run off for the first time which is at 6.4. I will also balance the water from now on between 6.4-6.5. My roommate said she noticed a fly so I asked her to add the yellow traps

The plants got really bushy by now. I'm really happy with how they turned out by now. The plant that is on the first picture in the front right grows faster than the other plants. After a defoliation my roommate raised the other plants to be level with the highest plant and performed LST on the smallest plant to open up the canopy further. Some of the lower pulled of leaves didn't look too good, but I don't think I need to act. The nutrients in the soil should be depleted soon, but they are still getting a small amount of nutrients every feed. In 4-5 days I will be back home and lollipop the plants more radical. I will also put up a trellis net to perform a SCROG and flip the plants after they bounce back. I am very curious about their stretch in bloom, because I expect it to be a lot but I do have limited space. In my 160cm tent. They are 30ish cm from the ground an about 30cm high. The light also needs a minimum distance of 30cm and I am having the ventilation at the top of the tent right now. I expect I have to move the ventilation outside soon. So I have to flip the absolute latest if the plants reach 50cm, rather before that.

I am finally reunited with my plants, and the first thing I did was lollipoping them. I don't think I was too rough on them, and I left some lower nodes to watch their development until week 2 of bloom. Then I will defoliate one more time and get rid of all potential growth, that won't receive enough light. I also put up a ScrOG net, and tried to get the plants under it as good as possible. For the largest plant in the front right of the tent I super cropped one branch to stunt it's growth, because I was unable to get it under the net. I also started feeding alga bloom for the first time, cause I intend to flip them in 2 days. Furthermore I moved their light cycle by 3h and will move it again tomorrow. So the day time of the plants will match the actual day time. Beside the nutrients I also gave them nematodes to deal with the flys, even though I probably could have done without it. On the sticky traps there are only very few flys, and I didn't see any in the soil while lollipoping. The big plants were very dry and received 3.5l each. The small plant was still moist, so I only gave her 700ml. Next time you heard from me the plants will be in week 1 of bloom.

The plants stretched over the week and the first pistils can be seen. The lower growth developed well, and I defoliate large fan leafs that block lower nodes every other day. The three plants in 5gal get 3.5 liters every 4-5 days. The plant in 3gal gets 2.5 liters. Sometimes there are signs of a very light nutrient burn, so I keep feeding 3ml per liter instead of 4 ml Overall the plants are doing great, and I hope I can fill out the centre a little better in the week to come.

This week I kept on feeding as usual. Due to a few burnt leaf tips I then flushed the three bigger plants with 5l each, and got a run off around 1l each with a PH of 6.9 I will only use 40% to 50% of the recommended nutrients the next week and PH my feeding water to around 6.2 - 6.3 to compensate the high PH of the run off. Mid week 2 I also lollipoped the plant again and did a rather heavy defoliation. From now on I only want to get rid of leafs if really necissary By now I can see more pistils forming and flowering is starting slowly.

I kept on doing buisness as usual. Thought I would defoliate less, but there are still so many leafs and so many growing. So mid week I got rid of a lot of leafs. The flowers really started going off this week and the plants get more and more sticky. The plants did quite the stretch and I might have to put the ventilation system out of the grow tent next week. The plant in the top right corner was a little more yellowish and had a burnt tips so this week I only gave her water. All plants got water between 6.0 -6.3 to compensate the high run off from last week.

The plants have finished their stretch and slowly start to bulk up a little. The light is now as high as possible in the tent, so everything went perfectly regarding that. I had some run off the last days between 7.3 and 7.6 which concerned me quite a bit. The plants don't seem to have any deficiency so I will just water with 6.0 the next times. But it is an organic run, so I expect the soil to balance itself a little. I am looking forward to the upper chutes to grow together and form some beautiful top buds.

Week 5 of flower and the buds are getting frosty and more dense. The plants are having a little cooler temperatures now, because I am letting the winter air in more frequently to lower the humidity. But Sensi Seeds says this strain does well with colder temperatures so I don't worry at all. The plant in the back right ist more yellowish than the rest, but I just keep on feeding the water at 6.0 and I think the plants will be fine. I expect them to have another 2-3 weeks until harvest. I checked the run off of the smaller Plant in the front left and it was at 6.65 which is pretty fine. But to be fair the small plant has different soil than the other three plants. Quite some of the pistils are changing colour now and I am overall very happy with the development.

Ok, so things are moving faster now. I checked the trichomes for the first time this week and they are pretty much all milky in the buds at the top and the middle. The lower buds have somewhat more clear trichomes, and I might have been more radical when I did perform the lollipop. The plant in the back right corner started to get a little purple on the leafs at the buds, which I think looks pretty cool. Harvest time could be within the next week, pretty sure still this month. I am waiting to see some amber in the trichomes like 10%ish and will leave them in 48h of darkness afterwards. I am still playing with the idea of a partial harvest, but I don't have well controlled options to dry my flowers outside of the Growbox. So I do not want to risk anything by a lack of airflow or potentially a humidity that could be off. I hope the buds will pack some more this week to come. Sensi Seeds says it is a medium harvesting plant, so I'll see what I'll get. I definitely want to let them have clear water one last time before harvest, because I gave them nutrients up until now. I would love to see more changes in the colours of the leafs and the plant eating itself up, to not have any unnecessary nitrogen with an impact on the taste. Sensi Seeds says this strain needs 7-10 weeks of flower so we are well within that time schedule.
