2. Mixed Grow

420 I ordered the 4 strains as cuttings from hanfgarten.de. They were supposed to be 2 weeks old. One leaf on the Orange Bud has turned yellow, and there are small brown spots on the Wedding Cake. In my opinion, I let the plants dry out for one day too long, which caused a nutrient deficiency due to lack of water. Please share your thoughts on this! I have continued with 1ml/L of nutrients for now and will keep observing to avoid rushing anything.

420 Would it be smarter to continue with just one lamp for now to get the VPD value under control? On day 24, we transplanted, and on day 25, we topped for the first time. The plant in the back left took a real hit from the extreme heat stress at the beginning. The others seem to be managing just fine. On day 24, we watered 2 liters per pot. Day 27: The burned leaves of the Wedding Cake don't seem to be recovering! Does anyone have an idea of what can be done? The soil is still completely moist, even wet at the bottom. Day 28: The leaves of the Wedding Cake that didn't recover have mostly been cut off. First LST was applied to all plants!

420 Finally got the VPD under control this week. Day 35: All lower shoots and leaves were removed to fill the pots, hoping that the stem starts to form new roots and to generally create more soil. Fabric pots were partially half empty due to "bad" watering and high soil compression. All the plants were topped a second time, except for the Wedding Cake, as it initially struggled with the poor VPD value and needs to "catch up" faster.

420 Tag 36: The fabric pots were filled to the top, as all the cut points from Day 35 were completely closed. Additionally, everything was almost tied down through LST just above the new soil edge.

420 Tag 45: The plants are finally showing "real" growth. They are experiencing almost no stress from LST and HST, which is also noticeable in their growth. Additionally, they have developed enough leaf mass to manage the VPD value during the day at high lamp power on their own. T 47: The plants are developing well. Since day 45, light intensity has been at nearly 75%. The Wedding Cake is starting to have slight issues due to the temperatures. The temperature is at 27 degrees Celsius and humidity is at 68%.

420 Tag 52: Unfortunately, I didn't have time the last few days, which is why they dried out quite a bit. The lights were also turned up to 75% with full ventilation for the growth phase. The Wedding Cake was unfortunately too warm compared to the other three. I hope it reaches the right height within a week so they can go into flowering next week.

420 On day 57, lollipopping was done. On day 61, the light cycle was officially switched to 12/12 for flowering.

420 Tag 5: Wedding Cake has recovered well again and is the biggest plant of all.

420 On day 16, there was a proper defoliation. The plants were such a dense bush that there were some shoots in the middle that didn't get any light at all and turned yellow.

420 Unfortunately, since this week I've only turned the lamp power down to under 50% because it's currently very hot for German standards. It's now only about under 150 watts.

420 On day 28, the second defoliation during flowering took place. It was also the last major defoliation before the harvest. If necessary, a few more leaves will be removed.

420 Tag 43: The plants are producing a good amount of trichomes and full aromas are coming through. Unfortunately, I can only run at 30% lamp power right now because I'm already hitting 26 degrees Celsius in the tent. The Orange Bud actually smells very fruity, fresh, orange-like, more sweet than sour. The Critical Kush has a very strong, spicy smell, partly totally like diesel. The Gorilla Zkittlez smells very, very sweet, rather not fresh but sweet. If you imagine Skittles, they have a slight scent of that too. The Wedding Cake is just starting to smell like cannabis due to the previous stress and its sensitivity.

420 I always give very little water so that the good ones just barely survive, because otherwise I can't handle the humidity and I don't want to risk mold.
