Week 5!
21/10 - week five stated. The plants are starting to smell :D
22/10 - Day 30 - increased amount of nutrients, from 2ml per liter to 2.5ml. EC increased from 600/650 to 750ppm
The stems after the topping are growing fast, about 1cm per day :O
25/10 - Increased ppm, 3ml per liter of Sensi Coco Grow. New branches have only two sets of leaves. I will top again when there are at least 3 sets.
*DIARY UPDATE*
I decided to not SCROG. Plants are very different in size, and i'm not so skilled in scrogging... Maybe next time
27/10 - Started Low Stress Training. I'm trying to use 6 main stems, i will top again probably next week
I modified two pics of both plants to show clearly where are the stems which i bent, i'm trying to give them enought space
> regarding the watering solution, i'm trying to keep Ph close to 5.8. Next week i will try to give her them the maximum dose of base nutrients, as suggested by Advanced Nutrients (4 ml/l)
Considerations at the end of week 5:
- Silver Haze plants are growing healty, and they are both of the same size
Super Silver Haze, the plant on the top right, is very short... I won't scrog anymore so this is not a problem
Blue Cheese is very stretchy (last pic) but she's out of the diary. She's the last plant i planted but it's the one which grows faster than the other. Next time i probably choose them and try to grow their genetics ;)
@AsNoriu, niiice! I will try with 72 hours, but i will keep watering them during this night period, properly flushing the roots. I have a green headlight, which is perfect to do things inside the tent without "waking" the ladies :D Thanks again for your advice
@Ninja31, i read a lot about darkness shock. There is one really good article or research work about it from holland scientist. Short version of it. Plant needs at least 72 hours ( 3 days ) for results to be expressed in real trichoms increase.
In shorter time plant reacts, starts to defend himself, but for that to become reality plant needs time, 3 nights. Research showed aswell that there is no bigger increase up to 5 nights, but cuttoff minimum is 3.
Water them well before darkness, give 3-4 nights and enjoy frostiest weed ever ;)
@AsNoriu, Unfortunately i must plant this activity due to job issues :/
My aim is to dry them in the tent, because outside humidity is very high and i have to limit the smell.
That's why i can't harvest buds separately, even if this would be a great choice (i like the cluctch effect too ;)
By the way i will wait 'till the end before harvest... I also want to try 36 hours of darkness this time, i read that this increase potency :O

I stoped disturbing them in the night, first 5 or last 5 min of darkness wont change much, but gives you vission even with simple flash light.
Green light beeing reflected , but still is used in photosintesis. You can influence your cycle.
