Dealing with outside temp of 30' Degrees + Using Aircon to keep temps down. Just started adding higher mixture of chems so should see more growth soon. Will use root nector for 1 more week. Thinking of tipping the plants soon maybe start of next week.

A good week for growth they seem happy now no more new curling leaves I think they were just getting used to the new environment. Weather is tarting to cool down so its getting easier to handle the temp. I will be tipping 2 plants this week to see how they react. Not much room or need to train as yet but will as soon as I need to. I am keeping my water at 6.5 ph and checking every day at least twice to ensure this is correct which I feel is making a difference as well as the lights being at a good level. I would appreciate any comments on tipping a auto as I have heard you shouldn't.

Growth of 11cm since last week. All plants have been tipped and started training them to grow where I want and for better light coverage. Weather here is still hot and humid so hopefully will cool soon so air con is no longer needed. Bit of moss growth on rocks this week will start to control it by covering for a while but should help at the moment just cant let too much grow. Stopped using root nector as I can see roots coming out of bottom of pot, started adding veg ignitor as add on to nutrients so will be interested to see the growth over the next week. I have taken photos this week with both lights on and off so you can see the true colour of the trees. If you have any suggestions that I can do please let me know I will listen to all advice.

Good growth since last week. I have had chems on transition stage and just changed it up more today. Bit of moss growth on rocks has been solved by covering. Started using another 3 additives today so will see what happens by next week and will then pt down what im using. I have taken photos this week with both lights on and off so you can see the true colour of the trees lights off isnt as clear though. I have taken off much foliage this week to allow light on the lower section. If you have any suggestions that I can do please let me know I will listen to all advice.

Should I be pruning more leaves off to increase rate of growth for buds.

Buds. Not fattening

Hello, nice and healthy looking plants. Yes you can prune (defoliate?) but that wont fatten your buds, and it might stress your plants if you don't do it right, If i'm right your plant just entered flowering stage, in first 2 or 3 weeks plant will mostly strech towards light. I personaly like to do light selective defoliation (only big fan leafs that cover bud sites) in beggining of week 1 of flower, and after 2 weeks i like to heavly lollipop all lower bud sites to get most of my top buds that are exposed to light.

All but one plant is at full size now they should grow to approx 100cm by 00seeds reason 1 is shorter is it was a bit slow to to pop then decided to curl the stem which slowed it down by at least a week or 2 so expecting to see more flowers soon. I am currently alternating flavor savior,bud burst and crystalic with the general hydroponics chems as the don't like too much chems at once. My trees are nearly taking 1 square metres per tree so I will be interested to see if I get the yield 00seeds says I will get. Must say bit disappointed in 00seeds as I contacted them for some tips and can now see they are not active on this site and did not even respond to me. Due to this I will purchase from a different seed bank who is more active and interested in what their customers are doing.

I have some brown spots on some leaves at the moment apparently it is spider mites so I have sprayed for them and hopefully will reduce this issue. Nearly lost one plant as I had a pump failure and it was fully limp and bent over when I found it. I got the pump working and then set up some supports for the branches to help hold it up and then cut a fair few bits and pieces of leaves to place it in repair mode. It all seemed to work as my plant is looking healthy again after 3 days. Hopefully wont hurt my yield too much. Not long to go now. :) If anyone has suggestions that they think could help me increase yield for this crop please let me know. Cheers

Weather has now cooled down here so my humidity is dropping, no sign of mold in the room so all good there. I have now got rid of most sun leaves to now allow more light on all the flowers, still in process but they are nice lollipops now and only 1 plant to finish. Buds are starting to fill out and I can see hairs turning brown so not long now maybe 1 or 2 weeks before harvest. Unfortunately 1 of my pumps gave out and I caught it after a few hours and 1 tree went limp on me and I cant see a great yield from that one now. I am happy I saved him though just wish it happened a few weeks ago so it had time to fully recover. If you think I should give them more than another 1 to 2 weeks let me know.

My first plant was ready this week I flushed her for 5 days before chopping her up this morning. I have taken all leaves off so just stem and buds are now left. The wet weight has come in as 553 grams so I am quite happy with the yield. Buds are very hard and firm thanks to Pk heavy. Will be interesting to see the dry weight. 4 plants still to finish 2 of them will start flushing on Sunday so will be pulled next Sunday and I would say the next 2 will start flushing the following Sunday so I will then mark the diary as harvested and will give complete info for weights . I will update later today with more photos of the other 4 plants and the buds drying.

You packing some weight 😉 🗡️🔫🏹 Looks like a nice harvest 🌲🌲🌲 coming up. 🚜 Did you look at the trichomes... I think that's a good way to know if it's at the right amount for the end user. And its uses. 🔎👁️🔍

Looking good... not long until you get very busy. ✂️😁 I have a question if I may please. What did you spray on your plants to get rid of 👹👺spider mites. 💀☠️ And did you spray top and bottom of leaves? I use Cannacure.. it's gr🎱. 😎✌️🏼
