First Indoor SLH-Acapulco Gold-Biscotti

BrainFogBud SLH had a rough start even compared to the Acapulco it germinated with. everything else seemed okay. When the plastic came off I started adding a boiling bowl of water to bump the humidity in the tent. Looking back at this i transplanted them wayy too early but just wanted to get things out of the way. Added GK complete 5g/1l substrate guestimated on pots i had at the time

BrainFogBud 4 days on from transplant. Was watering the pots a liter at a time until it would dry out which was every 5-7 days roughly.

BrainFogBud Watering at the same rate as previous week. Topped at 5th nodes (will try 3rd next time). SLH topped days later as it was nearly a week behind. Had a load of fungus gnats in the soil as it was all reused soil from prior year outdoors.

BrainFogBud 12/3/25 4th-5th week veg Both Biscotti's seemed to be completely fine with being topped and continued to grow undisturbed. Acapulco's were a day later in recover but were also fine. Gnats slowly getting better as pots dry a bit faster and getting trapped. Still just water thats ph'd down to 6.3-6.5. Biobizz Calmag added following weeks at 1.2ml/l (Either forgot/missing some pictures or theyre on another device and will add them on later if I find them)

BrainFogBud This week the plants were coming up to the last topping for a total of 8 main lines. Previous missing week had a topping happen. Tried getting a good shape on the main-lining but failed on a couple of plants. SLH started settling finallyy and overtook one of the Acapulco Golds which was stunted cos I snapped a branch 😁 Biscotti's were the most resilient to the toppings/pulling and would just keep growing. Watering whenever soil was dry however I was not the most reliable at this. Tried taking clones for the first time just cutting and plonking them in the same seedling soil.

BrainFogBud Managed to snap one of the biscotti branches at a point however both snaps of Acapulco and Biscotti healed within a week with normal sellotape holding it together. Repotted on 10/04/25 into 7gal fabric pots with underplates and topped up the added soil with more GK complete at the same ratio of 5g per liter substrate and some worm humus from a worm box I set up the previous year. stopped pulling down branches with garden wire at this point. Was starting to worry about time frame to flip to flower as I was attempting to do this grow without a dehumidifier and was going off average humidity where im located for the time of year, aiming to finish by June.

BrainFogBud Flipped on 12/04/25 Had made the Trellis on the same day. Everything was a bit rushed Transplant was late but it is what it is.

BrainFogBud Defoliated some and topdressed on second week of flower with more GK complete organics. (Stunk my room up for days as I didnt have anything to cover it properly with and ran out of soil or castings 😷)

BrainFogBud Watering every 2 days 3l-3.5l a pot.

BrainFogBud Biscotti in the front was stinking up the room from prior week onwards and was also clearly ahead of everything else. I asked for opinions and i got "Crisp green apple". I found it had a flowery smell. When I smelt it my brain screams violet and im not sure if its in regards to the colour violet or the literal violet plant. Not my favorite kind of smell at the time. The Acapulco would give off a smell when being touched and was much more to my liking. Will describe it at a later time. Had further top dressed at a point but this time with Biobizz Premix 2-3Tbl spoons each pot as i was short on fert last top dress. At a point found a single red spider mite on a stem of a lower leaf could not find anything else for the life of me. (I thought I was all good 😹) Sprayed a Hydrogen Peroxide solution on the affected area every couple of days or whenever i find a peppered leaf. So far this is only affecting the front Acapulco. Everything else is doing great somehow with it being so overcrowded.

BrainFogBud Front biscotti looks a week or so off from being done and is slowly turning to a dark purple on the edges of the leaves. Had to tie some branches up as they started leaning on the wall. Both plants at the back of the tent are a much darker shade of green compared to the front plants of the same strains. SLH Looking like its chunking out. Will try get better photos for the coming weeks but the diary is up to date as of now. Still no damage on any of the other plants from the mites. Would find 1-2leaves every two days that would have mite damage on the front Acapulco. Still gets sprayed and leaves trimmed but hopefully will make it to the end with no serious damage.

BrainFogBud Late by a couple of days but back again. 8th week flower. Acapulco is also contributing to the stank in the room, no complaints. Stopped using Calmag. Mites are still here sadly, managed to clear it off the Front Acapulco, but didn't do a good enough job keeping it off the two plants next to it. Not a terrible infestation still but annoying none the less. Still spraying with Hydrogen Peroxide solution. Haven't checked the back Acapulco properly since i last gave it a good spray but will have faith that it'll make it to Saturday with no bud damage. The SLH is only showing/seeing damage as of today and will try stay on top of it. Didn't bother with a whole plant photo as it was overcrowded and unclear. Seems it could go a bit longer along with the Acapulco in the back. Will most likely call it on Saturday the 9th week of flower and chop everything to have everything dried in the tent. Summer has hit and temps are high and humidity dropped as of writing. Tent temps are hitting 29-30 in the day and 35-55 humidity usually on the higher and for a bit after being sprayed (AC unit off during the day but will be turned on if temps go over 30) At night AC is on as a just in case as the humidity outside could switch up on me in the night or the next day. Info I might not have added prior weeks: Soil that plants were transplanted in was amended with Black soldier fly frass and Azomite from Lurpe and Neem meal from a random brand. Great White Shark - Mycorrhizae, Trichoderma and Beneficial Bacteria when transplanted.
