SchwabenGarten Veg week 7 Plant #1 and #5 topped at 32 shoots.

SchwabenGarten Last foliar feeding in flowering week 1 with Siapton and horsetail each staggered by 1 week, otherwise just adjusted pH in the water, and brought Cal/Mg with Epsom salt to a ratio of 3/1. The rest is taken care of by the soil itself 😎😜👌

SchwabenGarten This week, the girls got a good sip of compost tea, otherwise just water.

SchwabenGarten On flower day 21, I defoliated all the plants. Unfortunately, I also had to notice that pollen sacs were forming at several nodes on plant #3. The plant was disposed of immediately R.I.P. Plant #3 😩😩💩. On day 23, all the plants were watered with Bokashi tea, and the pH level of the soil was measured using a Bluelab Soil pH pen; the result is between 6.5 and 6.7 depending on the pot.

SchwabenGarten Flowering week 4 Each plant received 2L of nutrient solution with 10ml of Siapton each. So far, there have been no more pollen sacs visible. I hope it stays that way after the one plant I unfortunately had to kill in flowering week 3. 😔 Otherwise, they look pretty good. And I'm also curious how much color will come in the next weeks. 😊😎

SchwabenGarten This week I checked the pH level of the soil, which is between 6.6 and 6.8 depending on the pot.

SchwabenGarten The grow is going very well so far. The plants smell so strong now that the activated carbon filter can't keep up, even though the carbon in the filter is new 😅. The whole house stinks, but "I" don't mind 😇.

SchwabenGarten I cut off 2 Headbuds beforehand, they had some bananas here and there.... Otherwise, the grow is going perfectly, the timing for when the plants are supposed to be ripe is also off. I will harvest them next weekend, then it will be almost 10 weeks of flowering.

SchwabenGarten Today, on the first day of week 10 in bloom, I will harvest them. I'm very satisfied even though I had to dispose of one plant due to hermaphroditism. The smell is ridiculously strong; the activated carbon filter can't handle it even though the carbon is new😂 I think it's absolutely awesome😍😎 The buds on each plant are really nice and hard, something I rarely get👌 that's going to produce some serious stones. I also took cuttings from each and will do another run😁👌
