Stiggy Days 11-19 (30 Sep-8 Oct), first part of veg. From my log. No photos from these days. 1 Oct: 100 ml. 2 Oct: 300 ml. Cut off some leaves. 5 Oct: first feed, 1 L with 2 ml/L Bio-Grow. By mistake this watering was at about pH 5. First LST clip to level the canopy. 22 °C and 75 % that day. 7 Oct: back to normal: 1 L with 2.5 ml/L Bio-Grow at pH 6.9. Light from 18 h at 45 % to 20/4 at 60 %, about 50 cm. 8 Oct: more LST and turned the pot. The stem broke. 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: wrapped the stem that broke on 8 Oct in cling film to hold it together. Only 1 L plain water, no feed, while it heals. 10 Oct: the top past the break had gone dark blue-grey and the stem at the break was orange-brown, so I topped it right at the break. 11 Oct: raised the light 5-10 cm because another plant in the tent had dry leaf tips. Light at 70 %. 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. Trained the branches into a flat canopy. 15 Oct: 2 L with 2 ml/L Bio-Grow + 1 ml/L Bio-Bloom. Bent every stem down again, main stems too. 16 Oct (day 27): first white pistils, so flowering has started. 17 Oct: light at 75 %, 30-40 cm above the tops. 18 Oct: light to 70 % at 40 cm. Evening: 2.5 L with 1 ml/L Bio-Grow + 2 ml/L Bio-Bloom. 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 62.5 % to 70.9 % in a day, then 68.9 % on 18 Oct. How the problems went so far: after the pH 5 watering on 5 Oct, the next one on 7 Oct was back at pH 6.9 with feed. After the stem broke on 8 Oct it got plain water and cling film, and on 10 Oct I topped it at the break. It kept growing and showed pistils on day 27, a few days later than my Guava and Frostbanger.
