Hi everyone! This is a week of changes. Firstly and starting the week I made the fist FIM pruning once reached the 4th node (5th node pruned). I don't have clear if I was do it well for 2 reasons, I don't see a clearly stop of the vertical grow and I don't see (at the end of the week) the division of the main stem in 2-8 stems, here you have some pics of that FIM. Maybe I have to wait more to see the changes but this is my impression. The only relevant thing that I have seen is the start of the growing of the secondary branches (the branches of the nodes). Secondly and almost at the end of the week I changed the plants pots to 5 L cause I saw a well ratio of roots. And for the last, I made some LST for 2 reasons. One of them is to stimulate the access of light to the secondary branches. The other is for saving the difference of heigh between all the plants. Meanwhile, during the week, I was doing a rooting juice with lentils, preparing the change of the pots. Here you have the recipe: /-/-/-/-/-/ ROOTING JUICE /-/-/-/-/-/ { 1 volume of lentils (for example a cup) 4 volumes of water (4 cups) Let 8 hours in order to hydrate the lentils. If you put it in the night, before sleep, remove the water in the next morning, but don't throw it away! keep it. The lentils are going to increase their volume due the roots so don't use small containers. You should cover the lentils container with a rag or other cover, but don't forget let the lentils breathe with some opening. The rag is breathable so you dont need to keep any opening. Next morning put this keeped brown water in the container with the lentils about 10 minutes. Then strain it and keep the water another time. Leave the lentils another day, we want to see long roots (3 cm is OK). If you have 3cm of roots in the next morning, you got it, if not, repeat the process one or two days more, the process depends on the temperature of the environment. Once achieved, put the keeped brown water with the germinated lentils and crush it all with a blender. If the mix is too dry, add more water (only the necessary). Next strain the mixture. The dry part can be throwed to the composter or the trash. The liquid part is our juice. You can water your plants with this juice reduced with water in 10 times, that is = 1 part of juice + 10 parts of water (previously adjusted in EC and ph). You can keep this juice in the fridge for 15 days or 2 weeks. } The last task of the week was watering the plants with this juice, lets see what happens. Talking about the bad sensations, the humidity level was decreased another time between 20 and 30%.

Hi @Wolvex! Short answer: yes it is bad for your plants. Once a plant is used to its light schedule, it will look for light during those hours, and if the photosynthesis process detects a change in that schedule, it may generates hormones disturbance. The plant may create blooming hormones and trigger the flowering, or it may start to change its gender and become hermaphrodite. Less than 12 hours of direct light everyday and it will bloom for sure. Despite what have been said by others, I've made some experimentations with light schedule on autoflowers and found that even autos are sensitive to changes in their light schedules. So once you set your timer, keep it on the same track, until you want to trigger flowering. Hope this will help, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊

Dude, you can higher the light efficiency much more if you upgrade the reflector you're using.

@VovaFarms, and what kind of reflector do you recomend me? Thanks a lot for your advice.

For a first grow you are doing insanely well. These look great dude. I wouldn’t worry too much about the size of the buds, especially this deep in. Just get ready to harvest when it is time.

@wolvex, with bat guano this summer i had burn and shitty result, i was making teas,maybe its too strong for me and same for you. I had no soil ph meter, but this time i will carry on understanding bat guano, it has to work, table spoon per gallon was too much and i left it for good last summer. Dont know, does it changes ph, maybe tea should be brewed more than 24 hours, maybe less amount should be used....

@wolvex, my coment is more about how you should find why it was so crap, not about you or your grow even its about helping you to make small corections... I still make mistakes after 30 years of gardening and almost ten of green. Just when people tried to be overpolite and call mistake good atempt its bad. Hope and wish you huge harvests and 0 mistakes ! P.s. i would rethink two weeks + / - from week 13 ;)

@AsNoriu, yes, I'm agreed with you, this is not well done, I see a very poor harvest and I think it is due to the lack of fertilizer, specially in flowering. However this game is about making mistakes and correcting them so I know what to do next time, don't supossing that infusions of banana and potato peels are enough as fertilizer.I also added guano to the ground at the beginning of flowering, but as I saw, it is not enough either. Thanks for your comment, I find it helpful.

Fooling around with the light schedule is risky, it might stress the plant and make it go hermy. That been said, yes you can decrease the dark hours, though in veg only ( it can even be zero); in flower the plant needs at least 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness to bloom. As for changing the light on time, yes you can do it, as long as give the plant the dark time needed if you are in flower.
