My third grow experience

ActionKlaus Start Today I'm making my second attempt with my favorite strain, GMO, after my first attempt at growing (also GMO) honestly went down the drain due to unconditional motivation coupled with dangerous half-knowledge and other tortures such as the use of cheap lamps from China, substrate problems (pH7) due to defective pH meters (probably also from China). went down the drain. The second grow (Purple Haze Zamnesia Auto) went much better thanks to growing routine and the purchase of proper lighting and functional measuring devices, so today I will tackle my first grow again with the awareness that I want to and can do everything better. Let‘s Go!

ActionKlaus Everything looks great so far.

ActionKlaus The ladies feel comfortable and are taking root like crazy.

ActionKlaus Remedied with foliar fertilization due to slight, visible deficiency symptoms. Fertilizer application increased according to schedule. The plants were topped, repotted, scrogged and as soon as they had recovered, I will start preparations for the transition to flowering.

ActionKlaus So, the girls are all big and strong enough, sitting in their final pots and ready for the transition to flowering. During the first ten days, I increase the light output to 500 mmol, then to 750 mmol for a week, and then I go up to 950 mmol one last time. The stretching phase should then be complete. I'm really excited.

ActionKlaus For simplicity's sake, I have summarized the first three weeks of flowering in my report. Shortly before the changeover, I decided, contrary to general advice, to provide my three ladies with even larger pots at short notice. The three of them coped with the repotting without any signs of stress. As the root system looks really great so far, I assume that there will be a lot of activity in this regard in the new pots over the next week or two. The first two weeks of the transition went absolutely smoothly. The ladies were a lush green and remained in the net during this time. From the third week of flowering onwards, they continued without the net, with only a few shoots still firmly tied down. The light intensity was adjusted as described in the fifth week, and the nutrients remained unchanged during the first two weeks of flowering. This meant that the three ladies were not inhibited too much in their growth and were able to stretch out quite a bit in the first 14 days. The fertilization plan was then adjusted accordingly for the third week of flowering. Towards the end of the third week of flowering, lollipopping is still to come, as well as the final adjustment of the light intensity to 950 mmol.

ActionKlaus During flowering weeks 3-4 I left the plants largely undisturbed. I did some minimal defoliation on two Spots. I adjusted my watering routine compared to previous runs. I water less frequently, but with a larger amount of water. I also only fertilize every other watering. The plants seem to be happy; they certainly look better.

ActionKlaus We are in flowering weeks 5 and 6. Everything is running smoothly. There have been no problems or deficiencies. Flower production is in full swing.

ActionKlaus Last week, the ladies wäre flushed, the light exposure time was reduced slightly, and the temperature was lowered.Many thanks to everyone who read and liked my report.
