ojulhao In week 2, I transplanted the Jiffy Pellets into 2L pots and started feeding them Green Power 5 in 1.

ojulhao Later in week 2, I discovered that my tap water has a magnesium deficiency, so I bought Epsom Salt to fix it. From now on, I will always use 0.3g/L along with my regular nutrients. Also, I left home for almost 10 days and tried an automatic watering system. When I arrived back, the plants looked like the pictures above, not very healthy, but quite big. I decided to top them as a test. As you can see, I had 6 plants. I topped the biggest ones above the fourth node and the smallest ones above the third node. I think it will be a good experiment. However, I will only be keeping 3, as 6 is too many for my small tent.

ojulhao This week I started training them, maybe too late. I see that one branch on one of the plants broke a little (I think it tried to grow and snapped), but it looks like it managed to form a new connection. It’s a bit weak, though. As you can see in the pictures, I made some strange training while trying to arrange the branches in a better position. I feel I should have done the topping one week earlier and started training before, as it would make it easier and probably lead to better results. Let’s see what happens.

ojulhao Hello, lovely people. Today is the last day of the fifth week. They started flowering in the last few days, and we can already see the buds developing. I trained them a bit more; they’re turning into little monsters and taking up too much space in my small tent. Since they’re getting tall, I decided to do some lollipopping, removing the small buds growing very low down and taking off some leaves that don’t receive much light. Overall, everything looks good. I can’t see any problematic leaves, which is probably the first time this has happened to me. Let’s hope it continues this way.

ojulhao Hello hello, We are at the end of the 6th week today, and the plants are growing so much. The main branches became very tall, so I decided to use a net to help me control them. I'm enjoying the result so far :)
