Splashy 01.04.2026 Today I plan to repot them, but I see that the left plant is having problems. They both get the same nutrient solution and everything else is also the same. pH at 6.5 and 1ml calmag agent /l water. When repotting, I lowered the pH to 6.2 and increased the calmag to 1.2ml/l. I think it has come too close to the growth lamp in the propagation tent, which may have caused the calmag consumption to rise too high. I removed the hard yellow leaves and then put them back in the tent. I have now placed them in Plagron grow mix and watered the pot with 2l each.

Splashy 06.04.2026 Today I decided to tie down the tops of the plants with plant wire. I've never done this method before, and I want to try it out now. I hope I didn't bend them too much and that they won't break on me. The yellow spots haven't increased after repotting; they've completely stopped, and only the old lower leaves with the spots are still visible. In terms of color and vitality, the two ladies look very good otherwise. There hasn't been any watering yet; the soil is still moist enough.

Splashy 16.04.2025 Today, the two ladies were given a little freshening up down below, and I removed a few large leaves from the top that were overshadowing the shoots. Additionally, I mixed the bloom fertilizer with a bit of soil today. Since I have 11L pots, I added 3g/L, so a total of 33g of bloom fertilizer from GHF's Bio Line per pot. The watering was enriched with 1.2ml/L of CalMag, and the pH was lowered to 6.3. More will be added in the coming weeks. Starting from BW4, I'll be adding PK 13-14 from Plagron. One lady had small signs on the leaf tips in the form of yellow tips, which looked like over-fertilization to me, while the other one didn't have that, even though they both received the same amount. Otherwise, the ladies are looking really good, and I'm already looking forward to seeing them bloom. The light was switched to 12/12 today.

Splashy 23.04.2026 Today marks a week into flowering, they're stretching a bit but it's manageable. They've become bushy and have a nice color. So far, I can't see any deficiencies, they look great. I added a few drops of Silic Rock since I know it reacts with the enhancer; I waited a week before adding the Silic Rock. It really lowers the pH, so you have to be careful. It was just a few drops, I'll give it every 2 weeks in the future, always with a week in between the enhancer.

Splashy 01.05.2026 Status update looks good, the ladies seem perfectly happy. I'm only using pH adjusted water with 1.2-1.5ml calmag per L. The soil sensor is showing me some really strange values in this grow, they can't be right. When I've watered my 3L per plant, it tells me after an hour that the substrate is only 30% moist. When I do my weight test to determine when I need to water, it tells me there's only 8% moisture left, and mind you, the leaves aren't even drooping yet. I'll stick to the 8-10% for my watering process. Oh, and I've now put the two ladies in my big tent since I have more space there and can control the whole ventilation system through the smart outlet. In the smaller one, I had to hang cuttings to dry and freeze them. I think I'll leave them in the big tent now. I've turned the lamp up to 80% of the 300w and they seem to be handling it well.

Splashy 07.05.2026 Yesterday I defoliated the ladies and then watered them with sillic Rock and pk 13-14. I turned the lamp up to 100% and from now on it’s going to get quite warm in the tent. My exhaust is set to start blowing out at 30°C. Now it’s almost running continuously when the light is on, so I’m considering turning the light back down to 80%. You can see that the plants are handling the light intensity well. The ladies are lacking nothing at the moment and they look very vibrant in every way. From now on, I’ll always add sillic Rock once a week with a few days' gap from the Bio enhancer, as they probably don’t get along on the same day.

Splashy 21.05.2026 I've been having problems for a week now, I think it has something to do with the silica rock again. I read that you shouldn't give the silica rock on the same day as the bio enhancer because they react with each other. So I left a few days in between, and still, I've been having issues since I started using it. I think it's a magnesium lockout that's blocking the potassium uptake. I always make sure to keep the pH at 6.3, and with the PK 13-14, I have an EC of 1.6-2, so I don't think it should be that. In another grow, I also had issues with the silica rock, I just wanted to make sure this time that it's not the strain but really something to do with it. In the future, I won't use it anymore, at least not in combination with the GHF fertilizer. I hope they stabilize and that they weren't too stressed because of it. I'll keep a close eye on things and report back.

Splashy 28.05.2026 The yellow leaves are increasing, even though I added nitrogen during the last 2 feeding processes. I will skip the nitrogen in the future since it's slowly approaching the end, and I want to draw the chlorophyll out of the plant. I think this is also a sign that it's slowly heading towards autumn. I'm giving it PK 13-14 this week and will check on it again next week.

Splashy 05.06.2026 From today’s view, I could see that the buds have gained mass. So I pulled out the microscope and checked the trichomes. They are almost all milky, so I will stop using the PK 13-14 and only water with calmag and pH water. I think 1-2 more weeks, then they will be ready.

Splashy The drying is done, I'm satisfied with the result. The final yield could be better, but it's okay.
