Hexahydrat666 After a week in the peat plug pot, it can be transplanted into the final pot. This is my first grow with Mills Nutrients. I'm curious to see if the stuff is any good.

Hexahydrat666 Everything is great. I got the little plants a humidifier and a new lamp, which is currently running at 40% (about 100W). The humidifier is set to 65%.

Hexahydrat666 Small and compact. Actually, I usually start LST in the third week, but the lady is growing so bushy that I can't set any clips yet. Let's see what next week brings.

Hexahydrat666 The first flower buds are starting to show. Some leaves are showing slight magnesium deficiency. During the next watering, I'll measure the pH of the drain to see if it's due to a pH lockout or if there's a real deficiency. Otherwise, everything is going smoothly.

Hexahydrat666 The lady has gained quite a bit of height. I removed some of the large leaves to improve air circulation and let more light through. In the drain, I'm measuring an EC value of 3.8 and a pH value of 6.3 (the watering water has an EC value of 1.7 and a pH value of 6.0). If the EC value in the drain continues to rise, I will water only with water once and then reduce the nutrient addition.

Hexahydrat666 Some of the leaves are showing a clear Cal-Mag deficiency, so I added some organic Cal-Mag fertilizer as well. Otherwise, the lady has really stretched out again (I think the stretch is so strong this time because the plants are standing very close together in the tent). The leaves also look a bit pale, so I'm considering adding a bit of extra nitrogen during the next watering.

Hexahydrat666 I increased the nutrient addition and also added some nitrogen because the lady still looks a bit pale. The buds are growing nicely, but it's gotten a bit too cramped in the tent to apply LST. So, I had to remove some leaves to improve air circulation and let more light through. The first buds are starting to change color to purple.

Hexahydrat666 The extra addition of nitrogen seems to be doing the lady good. For the next grow, I will mix horn shavings into the substrate again to prevent nitrogen deficiency. The lack of space in the tent worries me a bit; to improve air circulation, I placed two mini fans on the floor. Since the lower branches hardly get any light, I will probably do a partial harvest and give the lower buds some more time with more light. Let's see if that works or if it stresses the plants too much.

Hexahydrat666 Autumn is here. The leaves are starting to change color and the first trichomes are amber. I would have liked to give her a bit more time and possibly do a partial harvest, but I think I have to harvest by the end of the week. 🤔

Hexahydrat666 The first flowers have developed "foxtails." I think the constant trimming of leaves stressed the good one too much. Some nice flowers have formed, but unfortunately, also tons of popcorn buds. In the next grow, I will definitely leave more space in the tent so I can train the plants properly to avoid this happening again.
