cherry clon /DWC

mikroponik the clone in 3l DWC has put down roots. the fun begins

mikroponik transplanted into 11l and topped

mikroponik ohnutej and the second pinch on both branches

mikroponik I don't do much, just spray Rhizotonic every day (I apply the spray every day, sometimes every other day since the clone was cut from the mother).

mikroponik solution exchange and topped at 8 branches. sprayed with rhizotonic

mikroponik solution exchange, clip benders

mikroponik transplanted into 20l, moved to a 60x60 box, mini defoliation

mikroponik I don't do much, sometimes I pinch off a leaf or two that shade and block airflow. I maintain the level and EC of the solution (Big Bud added to the solution).

mikroponik I changed the solution and pinched off a few leaves. The net is stretched. I'm starting to monitor the EC and solution level as well as the temperature (it's starting to get frosty at night outside).

mikroponik The solution was changed and mixed the same as last week. Throughout the week, I monitor the EC, level, and temperature of the solution. After pulling it out, the plant was bent under the net. A few leaves were pinched off. Midweek, there was a larger defoliation and trimming ("cleaning") of the lower third of the plant. Sprayed with Rhizotonic for faster and better recovery after stressing the plant.

mikroponik I mixed the same strong solution as last week. The plant looks good after the stress from defoliation. The buds are swelling. I'm still monitoring the EC, level, and temperature of the solution.

mikroponik mixed a new solution. changed the flowering fertilizer to overdrive. the strength of the solution is still around EC 1.40. I'm still monitoring EC, the level, and the temperature of the solution. the buds are swelling nicely. just three weeks left ahead of us.

mikroponik Today, I poured clean water with flashclean for flushing and relieving the roots. The plant looks like it has a slight nitrogen burn. I'll let it bubble for 24 hours, then I'll mix a fresh solution, drain the old one, and replace it with the new. Otherwise, the plant smells like crushed cherries at first whiff. In the background, there's a skunky smell. 14 days to go. After 24 hours, I mixed a new solution. I reduced the nitrogen-containing nutrients.

mikroponik The last week ahead of us. I start the week with EC 1.38, by the end of the week it will be EC 0.1. I'm finishing with fertilizing. As the plant drinks, I gradually add only pure water to the solution. Two to three days before harvest, I'll drain the solution and fill it with only pure water with flashclean. The smell is amazing... the buds are starting to turn purple.

mikroponik harvested two days later than planned...
