Stiggy Days 11-19 (30 Sep-8 Oct), first part of veg. From my log. 1 Oct: 300 ml. Cut off 2 leaves. 2 Oct: 300 ml. 5 Oct: first feed, 1 L with 2 ml/L Bio-Grow and a little Bio-Down. The canopy is already flat. 22 °C and 75 % that day. 7 Oct: 1 L with 2.5 ml/L Bio-Grow, pH 6.9. Light from 18 h at 45 % to 20/4 at 60 %, about 50 cm. 8 Oct: started LST with the first green tie and turned the pot. Light to 65 %. 24.5-25.5 °C and 64-67 % in the tent.

Stiggy Days 20-22 (9-11 Oct), end of veg. From my log. 9 Oct: 1.5 L with 2.5 ml/L Bio-Grow, pH 7.0. 10 Oct: 6 nodes. 11 Oct: dry leaf tips, so I raised the light 5-10 cm. Light at 70 %. The stem got a rip at the spot circled in the photo. I wrapped it with cling film so it holds while it heals. Climate from the hourly sensor (8-11 Oct): 24.6 °C and 64 % with lights on, 21.5 °C and 70 % in the dark.

Stiggy Days 23-29 (12-18 Oct), first week of flower. 12 Oct: 2 L plain water. About 10 tops level after LST and a leaf trim. 14 Oct (day 25): first white pistils, so flowering has started. Last defoliation before flower. 15 Oct: 2 L with 2 ml/L Bio-Bloom + 1 ml/L Bio-Grow. Bent every stem down again, main stems too. 17 Oct: light at 75 %, 30-40 cm above the tops. Lollipopped the shaded lower growth. 18 Oct: lollipopped the bottom half, the canopy is a lot airier now. Light to 70 % at 40 cm. 30 cm tall. Evening: 2.8 L with 2 ml/L Bio-Bloom + 1 ml/L Bio-Grow. Climate from the hourly sensor: 23.6 °C and 66 % with lights on, 21.1 °C and 72 % in the 4 h dark period. Canopy cover of its spot went from 60.5 % to 77.4 % in three days.

Stiggy 19 Oct: Raised the light to 50 cm. 20 Oct: Finally got a dehumidifier going, the tent kept sitting in the high 60s. Also tied a few fan leaves back with garden wire so the bud sites get more light. 21 Oct: Watered 3 L with Bio-Bloom 3 ml/L and Bio-Grow 1 ml/L, partly with water from the dehumidifier. Loosened the leaf bundles a bit more. Lamp up to 60 cm at 90 %, measured about 660 PPFD. 21 Oct: Did a bigger round of LST, bent more stems down with the clips to even out the canopy and tucked some leaves. 22 Oct: LST is working very well, I've counted more than 20 tops so far, bounced right back after some bending yesterday 23 Oct: Lamp down to 40 cm at 95 %. I measured 9 spots across the tent: 846 PPFD on average, 1070 right under the lamp, about 750 in the corners. Watered 3.5 L with Bio-Bloom 4.3 ml/L + Bio-Grow 1.4 ml/L, about 100 ml ran out the bottom. The smell is getting stronger. Week 5 totals (19–25 Oct): 9.5 L of water. Bio-Bloom total: 36 ml. Bio-Grow total: 11 ml. 25 Oct: Last bit of lollipopping and some light LST. Watered 3 L with Bio-Bloom 4 ml/L + Bio-Grow 1 ml/L, about 150 ml runoff.

Stiggy 26 Oct: Flower week 6 begins. She's still recovering from the heavy lollipop and defoliation late on the 25th, a bit behind the others and on the short side. A fan now blows straight at her. 26 Oct: had to do some defoliation (last time) since the canopy was incredibly dense, should be all airy now. 27 Oct: Watered her today: 3L with Bio-Bloom 3.33 ml/L + Bio-Grow 0.8 ml/L + Bio-Top-Max 3.33ml/L . She recovered well after the heavy defoliation. 28 Oct: I'm not at home this evening, so no new pic today. Looking good from the camera. I elevated the pot so her canopy stays at the same level as the rest 29 Oct: Watered 3 L with Bio-Grow 1.7, Bio-Bloom 4.2 and Top-Max 3.3 ml/L. 31 Oct: No water today, the pot still has some weight to it. 1 Nov: 2.5 L with Bio-Grow 1, Bio-Bloom 4 and Top-Max 4 ml/L, then 1 L of plain water, so 3.5 L in total. Climate: 25 °C and 60.5 % with the lights on, 22.2 °C and 63 % in the dark. Leaf VPD around 1 kPa. My meter reads 800-1000 PPFD at the tops, about 680 PPFD and 49 mol DLI as a whole-tent estimate. pH stays in the upper 6s (about 6.6-7.0). Next: keeping an eye on the yellow on her upper leaves.

Stiggy Days 44-50 (2-8 Nov), flower week 4. 2 Nov: Noticed some yellowing on the leaves, keeping an eye on it. 2 Nov, later: Took leaves off the top so more of the lower nodes get direct light. 3 Nov: Stems are turning a bit purple. Watered 3 L: 2.5 L of feed (Bio-Grow 1, Bio-Bloom 4, Top-Max 4 ml/L), then 0.5 L plain water. 4 Nov: Counted about 50 tops on her. Lamp down a notch to 90 % tonight. 5 Nov: Fed a bit stronger today. 3 L in total: 2.5 L of a 5 L mix with Bio-Grow 1, Bio-Bloom 5 and Top-Max 5 ml/L, then 0.5 L plain water. 6 Nov: Some leaf tips are going yellow, keeping an eye on it. 7 Nov: 3.6 L: 2.6 L of a 5 L mix (Bio-Grow 1, Bio-Bloom 4, Top-Max 4 ml/L) plus 1 L plain water. Took a few more leaves off so air moves through the canopy. 8 Nov: No water today after yesterday's 3.6 L. Filmed her weekly walk-around: the middle is a lot more open since the leaf trim. Week total: 9.6 L of water with 7.6 ml Bio-Grow, 32.9 ml Bio-Bloom and 32.9 ml Top-Max. Climate from the hourly sensor: 24.8 °C and 58 % with the lights on, 21.7 °C and 59 % in the dark. Leaf VPD about 1.05 kPa. Light about 680 PPFD and 49 mol DLI a day (estimated), lamp at 40 cm, dimmed from 95 to 90 % on 4 Nov. pH stays in the upper 6s (about 6.6-7.0). Next: about 50 tops on her, watching the yellow tips and how the thinned canopy dries out.
