März 25 Kalashnikova Auto und Exodus Cheese Auto

Freaksworth Not much to see yet, but the babies seem to have handled the move to the pots well. This is the first grow under the new light. To minimize stress, I planted directly into the final pots. I plan to skip topping and want to try LST and light defoliation instead.

Freaksworth Slow and steady wins the race 😄

Freaksworth Not much new to report, just that the humidity is slowly rising. Also, I almost think I've overdone it with the watering at this point.

Freaksworth It's progressing, but the late bloomer still hasn't really taken off 😯 I've started LST on four of the six plants. I want to defoliate just a little on one for comparison, and the problem child is still only 8cm tall, but at least it's starting to grow new leaves. I haven't fertilized yet and wanted to wait until I see the first signs of deficiency, as I believe I minimized my yield in my last grows due to over-fertilization 😱

Freaksworth So, we’ve reached the stretch. And also in the present. That means from now on the reports won’t be from memory and will be a bit more detailed, with more photos and specifics. 😎 The tied-down branches are already lifting their heads back up within a few hours, and I feel like with each adjustment they make a little jump upwards, nice. Some of the upper leaves had yellow tips and clawing, but I think that was due to the light. So, I’ve turned the light intensity down from 100% to 80% and raised the lamp a bit higher. The "control group" has shot up over 30cm, while the four test subjects are handling the LST more or less well and are reaching over 25cm despite being tied down. All 5 are utilizing the space in their pots very well, and I believe I’m on a good path to getting a nice harvest. Only the late bloomer is still worrying me, so I’m already considering putting it on the windowsill and sharing the freed-up space with the other girls to optimize the sunlight for them. Unfortunately, I’m currently pretty packed under the lamp because a friend had to park his ladies here due to lamp damage. 😇 That should be sorted out in a few days. Oh, and a little disclaimer on the side, in case the BKA is reading this too: there are six plants because my better half is also growing. 🤐

Freaksworth Everything is growing and thriving quite well, but I'm having slight humidity problems. The troubled one had a little setback but is now growing nicely, though it's still lagging behind and not really in bloom yet. I can raise the lamp about 2cm higher every day for now. The subtenants have moved out again, so my ladies have enough space to spread out. Accordingly, new buds are forming daily. I've started lightly fertilizing and hope that this fertilizer works better for me than the previous one.

Freaksworth Everything looks very good, it's slowly heading towards the final stretch and even the late bloomer is stretching. I think the LST was worth it, even though the control group has also grown very nicely, the others have developed more buds. However, bending the branches became quite a hassle as the plants got bigger. I started lollipopping a few days ago and hope that gives the ladies more power for the upper buds. I'm looking forward to the harvest 😎

Freaksworth I can hardly wait 😁 The Kalashnikova will probably be harvested first. I think in about ten days it will be time, I'll probably delay the exit of the Exodus (😜) Cheese for another week or two 😊
