Dechantlover No training yet, as well as no fertilizing. My soil is pre fertilized for up to four weeks, so I will probably start in a week or two tops. For now, not many changes and everything is going as expected. Update: Now, the morning after, she has also fallen over and became leggy. I do not know what the reason could be, the light is around 1ft away and at 40% power already. I hope she recovers well

Dechantlover Like the other one, this one has also suffered from premature stretching making her really flimsy, so I also had to stabilize her with these metal hooks which works really well. She is also just 2 weeks old so I am also confident she will make up whatever she has lost in time!

Dechantlover They’re looking much stronger now and have recovered nicely! I topdressed with a handful of old Biobizz soil to make up for the space lost due to soil compaction and to give the plant extra stability at the base. They don’t seem to have grown on paper, but that’s just because the soil level has risen, in reality, they have definitely grown since last week! This week marks the first fertilization, and since I want to use up some old Biobizz Alg-A-Mic, I’ve decided to just add that for now. The grow is back on track, and I’m excited to see the first signs of flowering in the coming weeks!

Dechantlover The growth has exploded in the past week! The caught up super fast, if the keep going like that they are going to get huge! No issues thus far, no signs of flowering as well. Depending on if they show first signs of preflowering in the next few days I might switch the feeding schedule to preflowering, but I will for sure start LST in the next few days once the sideshoots develope a little more.

Dechantlover Spotted the first signs of flowering! I'm happy with the size they have reached when starting to flower. I've switched to the preflowering fertilizer routine but will switch to the full flowering routine this coming week. I've done some very very light defoliation of the biggest fan leaves and tied down the lowest side branches. I will also do a more intense defoliation in the next few days whenever I find the time to do so. Other than that, not much to talk about. Stay tuned!

Dechantlover They keep growing like weeds, literally. I have to defoliate them every other day I feel like, another round of defolitation is long overdue obviouly, even though I did defoliate aggressively like 4 days ago. They are growing so extremely fast I hope they slow down soon or else I'm going to have an issues with my maximum height of my tent. Super happy with them!

Dechantlover I have gone some very, very aggressive defoliation yesterday evening, I hope the lower buds now have a better chance to develope into some juicy nuggs. I also added a ScrOG net to get an even canopy and get the most lighting on the most amount of buds. I also upped the Bloom Booster feeding concentration from 3ml/L to 5ml/L, the recommended value of the manufacturer. Other than that, the buds have put on some volume and they have started the stanky period now. Nothing skunky, more like kush; classic weed. I'm going to fill out the ScrOG net now until harvest so the height value will be scewed from now on but that's not really a drawback now is it ;)

Dechantlover I'm still going heavy on the defoliation part here. I have spottet some powdery mildew, but immediatly eradicated it by spraying the entire tent down with HOCl, or the brand name Purolyt, in the highest concentration and it has not emerged since. I have also placed my slightly overpowered dehumidifier into the tent just to make sure the air is sufficiently dry, not only because it makes it virtually impossible for powdery mildew to spread, but also heats the tent and adds extra airflow. Also, I'm starting to see really fat nuggs on some plants and I do not, for the life of me, loose everything to budrot. I'm still training them with the ScOG net, which is working beautifully and I am confident they will produce a very mighty yield. Nuggs are growing, just what you see with cannabis during flower I guess, so not anything extraordinary at the moment...

Dechantlover Still going strong, buds swelling more every day. I'm going to defoliate soon again. Otherwise, no change really from last week. Pistils have started browning and I stopped giving grow fertilizer, so now it's just bloom and a bloom booster. I'm guessing 3 weeks out from today we are golden!

Dechantlover I feel like we are nearing the finish line. From now on I will lower the feeding concentration to around half, next week I will start cleansing the soil until the end. Buds look really good, really starting to frost up. They were even frostier a few days ago but I did some defoliation to improve airflow so some leaves had to go. I'm hoping for some more colour on the buds and leaves, but I guess she still has 2-3 weeks left until it's chop day, so there's ample time to develope some colour on her.

Dechantlover She's now finishing out. I think I will harvest next week, maybe two weeks max. Depends on how she looks in a weeks time. I've tried my best to take some pictures on my phone with my jewlers loupe, but they should suffice to asses the trichomes. The entire tent has a mellow smell, not extremely intense but it's there. It reminds me of these breakfast multi vitamin juices. They come very close to that smell. The buds are solid, nice and frosty and I am happy given it's a 100W light. I've been doing some continous defoliation. I also switched to giving straight tap water, no nutrients or boosters, just water. I will post another flowering diary entry next friday and then either the harvest entry right after or just wait one more week at most.

Dechantlover This week's the last week. I'm going to harvest tomorrow, I'm just waiting for some hydrogen peroxide to come in so I can do a bud wash right after because I've been having some issues with powdery mildew. Trichomes are a healthy mix of milky and amber, some purple is coming through but sadly not enough for it to be purple. I've tried my best to take photos through my jewlers loupe but they didn't turn out perfect, but good enough to get an idea of what the trichomes are like. I'm going to post the harvest update within the next days, I will also go get a test done on the percentage. Other than that, thanks alot for stopping by!
