Lemon Tree 2.0

l3skr0 Nothing special on this stage after germination. I water the small 0.4l pots until they are full and repeat the process when the pot is dry!

l3skr0 I did repot them after 14 days in their small pot in maybe 15-18l of Biobizz Lightmix amended with 3.5gr/l of soil of Greenhouse Bio-Grow and did the first watering with 500ml per pot + 1gr/l of Greenhouse Bio-Enhancer. The plant in the small plastic pot is not meant to be kept and should be gone in few weeks.

l3skr0 I water the plant every 3-4 days and keep increasing the volume of water per watering (less than a liter per pot at this stage).

l3skr0 I did a topping on all the phenos at day 23. I still water every 3 days with 1.5l of water at this stage. I dimmed the LED from 50 to 75% on day 26 (maybe a mistake after more hindsight).

l3skr0 Some problems started to appears on week 5. I could see the yellowing of the highest leaves and this might be caused by too much light intensity (I pushed the LED at 75% the week before seeing this). 1.5-2l of water per pot at this stage, Bio-Enhancer once per two weeks.

l3skr0 This week I did water with 2l and 2.5l per pot. On day 38 I defoliated all the plants and did a supercropping on the 2 tallest phenotypes to try to maintain an equal level on the canopy. As you can see on the last picture on day 42, plants are yellowing from the topper leaves. I think this may be due to the LED that were getting closer at 75% intensity. Next run I will keep the LED to a maximum of 50% during the vegetative phase.

l3skr0 This week I watered the plants with 3l per pot + Bio-enhancer on day 45. I did a defoliation again and placed the scrog net. Last week of vegetative stage before the flowering phase. I did a top dressing with Bio-grow at 1gr/l of soil and Bio-bloom at 4gr/l of soil the day I started the 12/12 cycle.

l3skr0 First week of stretch, I did water 3l per pot every 3 days with a bit of Calmag. I raise the LED a few clicks everyday because the plants are climbing a lot. Nothing special, plants are looking better.

l3skr0 First pistils started to appear at day 12 for all the phenos. They started to drink a bit less during this week, I reduced the volume of water per pot at 2.5l every 3 days and applied the Bio-enhancer.

l3skr0 Last week of the stretching phase. Plants had a huge stretch and have gained twice their size! I did a hard (maybe too hard?) defoliation on day 21 to avoid issues with mold, since I am growing in my basement which has a bit of humidity (even if the dehumidifier is running 24/7). I spotted that two of the five plants were hermaphrodite on day 17... I instantly inspected all the plants, removing all the pollen sacs that I could see. I removed around 20 sacs on the pheno #4 and a few less on the pheno #3.

l3skr0 Nothing special on the fourth week of flowering, I will water with the pots every 3/4 days with 3l of water. This week I still removed more pollen sacs on the two hermies phenos.

l3skr0 Fifth week of flowering, I started to add the Green Sensation at 1ml/l. I still water with the same amount and frequency, but also added some straw on top of the soil to prevent the dry. LED also turned at 100%, full power!!😎

l3skr0 Sixth week of flowering phase. I think this week I am under watering my plants because I watered every 4 day but they were looking very dry at the 4th day. I will rectify this point on the 7th week. I am also happy because all phenotypes looks different. The two on the front are a bit late I will say but the three others that are not hermies are really starting to bulk!
