SB und MD Run

Cleptomanicx Hello everyone 🏻 This will be my first diary, so don't be mad if not everything happens and gets uploaded just in time 😅 Otherwise, I'm excited to see what happens, the two ladies look great so far 👍

Cleptomanicx The two ladies have continued to grow splendidly and are diligently forming side branches. In the meantime, I've cranked up my Lumatek ATS 300w Pro to 50% power and increased the distance to the lamp. I've also done the first Low-Stress Training on both of them - pictures will follow later 😅. Nutrient-wise, we're pretty much at the limit due to the worm humus and the first light feeding, which is why I'm currently not giving the SensiGrow A+B from AN to avoid over-fertilizing the ladies. I'll probably do a mild feeding again towards the end of the week, depending on how they develop. That's it for now. Wishing you a relaxed rest of the week :)

Cleptomanicx Week 3 and the ladies are still doing well - some are already pushing the limits, which is why I only gave a little bit of CalMag during today's watering. LST looks good so far and is being accepted well - it doesn't affect the growth of the plants. There are also early signs of pre-flowering, not long now and the stretch will soon kick in - I'm definitely excited 😁

Cleptomanicx Week 4 and the stretch or transition to flowering is already in full swing. The Moby Dick in front has really gained some height, and the Strawberry Banana has surpassed it in height despite LST - probably due to the Sativa genetics. The light is still at 25% and 35cm distance, after they reacted badly to a switch to 50% power. In terms of nutrients, the ladies have received a mild mix of Grow/Bloom, all from the Advanced Nutrients series. As you can easily see, I'm using a CO2 bag - let's see if there's a noticeable difference. Until then, happy growing! 😁

Cleptomanicx Week 5 and my ladies are at the end of the stretch phase - thank God they shouldn't get much taller. 😅 The Moby Dick is doing great and enjoying every round of watering/fertilizer, while the Strawberry Banana is already showing clear signs of over-fertilization, which is why today it only got water with CalMag and a bit of fertilizer for the roots or microbes - but no further nutrients. I'm curious to see how it develops and will keep you updated - until then, happy growing! 😁

Cleptomanicx New week - new luck. The ladies have clearly grown in their stretch and are now vigorously producing flowers. The Moby Dick has a noticeable lead, even though it was planted 4 days later than the Strawberry Banana. The light is at the end of its distance (35cm - I can't get more distance due to the tent height) and the Strawberry Banana is visibly suffering from more than 25% power. In terms of nutrients, they are now getting the complete Bloom fertilizer that is intended for the corresponding week. Until then 😁

Cleptomanicx First of all, I apologize for the late report - I've had a lot on my plate. Yeah guys, what can I say, the two ladies are fully in bloom - the Moby Dick with strong buds that produce a lot of smell and the Strawberry Banana with an insane growth spurt and first buds. Slowly, there's no more space in the tent, as you can see ^^ I was forced to bend the Strawberry Banana down with some wire because it's reaching the light, so if anyone feels like sponsoring a 1.80m tall tent, I'm in :D Until then, have a great weekend everyone :)

Cleptomanicx Insane! I can't start today's report any other way - it's just insane how the tent has filled up and the sweet aroma is unfolding. The Strawberry Banana is reaching all the way up to the lamp, which forced me to bend it down, unfortunately at the expense of the Moby Dick. It's now in a shadier spot, but still seems to be developing well. The buds are compact and feel like they're getting bigger by the day 😁 I wasn't prepared for such a large phenotype with the Strawberry Banana. But I'm excited to see what kind of yield this lady will bring me. Until then, Happy Growing 😀

Cleptomanicx Yeah guys, what else is there to say - overwhelming how big the ladies have gotten - especially the Strawberry Banana, which has really taken over every cm² in the tent. The smell of both is insane - a brief accidental touch and you're surrounded by the scent of sweet fruits - I'm curious to see how the smoking experience will be. The Moby Dick is nearing the end of its flowering, so I'm rationing the nutrients and possibly reducing to a week flush - let's see how it develops. Until then, have a relaxing weekend everyone 💚
