Watering

Start at 11 Week

Four in a Tent. Week 0 - Placed the cubes to a propagator maintaining aprox. 70% humidity

Four in a Tent. Week 0 - 24 hrs in 2ml/l purified H2O & Root juice mix, transferred to Root Kit cubes

Four in a Tent. Week 0 - The first one to pop was Wedding Cake.

Four in a Tent. Week 0 - Day after, Northern Light popped.

Four in a Tent. Week 0 - Gorilla Z also germinated on day 2 only closely followed by Purplematic.

Four in a Tent. Week 0 - On day 3 I removed the plastic dome from the propagator.

Four in a Tent. Week 0 - Transplanted to 11l pots as the roots were already sticking out of the cubes.

Four in a Tent. Week 0 - First watering with 3l purified water and 3ml of Biobizz Root Juice for each.

Four in a Tent. Week 0 - Ok, girls - enough fun in the sun. 🌞 Now back to the tent. 🙂

Four in a Tent. Week 0 - State as of final day of Week 1.

SouTHboy All 4 seeds have sprouted and are doing well. One had a minor issue with the "helmet" which I removed without any harm. So far my biggest concern is with maintaining optimum humidity after transplanting into 11l pots, since I had to remove the humidifier from the tent and place it next to it. I attached flexitube to the outlet of the humidifier and into the low inlet of the tent, but as the room humidity is as low as 35 - 40 % I have to keep fiddling with the settings to maintain around 70 % in the tent. Light cycle temperature around 28 Celsius and no light at around 21 - 22 Celsius.

Four in a Tent. Week 2 - Outside it's 40 %, but inside I try to keep it at 70 % this way.

Four in a Tent. Week 2 - Purplematic is the smallest at 2 cem, but it was also the last to sprout.

SouTHboy When attempting to bend the main cola on the Gorilla with plastic clips (never again), it snapped and hung on just the tiniest thread, so I involuntarily had to remove it completely, thus topping it, which I never intended. The plant does not seem to mind at all and the side branches started lifting up as if trying to take over and compensate. So far, Northern Light is the biggest mystery for me - the leaves look strange and it has the slowest growth of all. Even the Purolematic, which started last and was the smallest turned out to grow bigger. I also added 2 fans to help circulate the air inside.

SouTHboy At the end of W4 I did some light defoliation to allow lower branches to receive more light. I also applied netting to possibly achieve a uniform screen of green. Now the plants have entered the flowering phase with white pistils appearing. The only training I allow myself now is some leaf tucking here and there.

SouTHboy Nice and even canopy is has been built. The only care apart from watering is some leaf tucking and bending to spread the growth and maintain height. Mid-week, I have realized I am probably underwatering my plants. Some leaves up top have started to bend downwards at tips. I gave the plants a big flush of 1 l per pot and will continue with the same volume every 2nd day from now on. Also, will reduce Bio-Grow for now due to possible nitrogen buildup.

SouTHboy The Gorilla Z plant is steadily stealing space and occupying half of the tent. Luckily, the neighboring Purplematic grew quite small and will soon leave the tent as it's nearing its harvest time, closely followed by Wedding Cake. One can see that clearly when looking at the canopy - the right side, where Gorilla Z and Northern Light are placed is growing significantly higher and it's getting quite crowded in there. This does not seem to affect the early birds on the left, albeit I expect a lower yield from those due to their smaller stature.

SouTHboy One more week for the tiny Purplematic maybe and than she goes out to make room for the ever expanding Gorilla plant.

SouTHboy Purplematic was cut on day 59, which is a record time. The trichomes were milky white and most of the pistils already brown and curled. I didn't want to wait any longer for the trichomes to start turning amber since this is a CBD strain and at its most potency now. Wedding Cake expected to follow in about a week or so.

SouTHboy I was leaving for a week the day after the photos were taken. I was facing a dilemma whether to cut the Wedding Cake now or wait till I return. I have decided to be patient and wait as I did not observe any amber trichomes yet.
