2nd Week Report 24/10/19 - 31/10/19
25/10/19
I didn't flushed, but I filled the reservoir with 3l of 10% strength solution.
Added to the current solution the same nutrients quantity as the first week (except for "Root Stimulator" and "Enzymes" that the first week were 20% strength and now got back to 10%).
Now the reservoir should be filled with a 20% strength solution

- CMXL is 10cm height and it is growing really well along with his roots.
- LSD is 6cm height and it is growing a little slower like his roots, but both of them look healty. I think in some days should start growing fast like CMXL
Added 2 low frequency (113kHz) Ultrasonic Piezoelectric Discs:
- One for the root chamber that should help with root expansion as it nebulize solution and the fog carries nutriments (like a small aeroponics integration) and will help my attempt of cloning.
- One will stand in a 20% solution next to the plants to increase Humidity (and maybe feed them a little).
I'll try to set them running 24/7
Switched water pump that sprays Rock Wool from 5sec every 30min to 6sec every 60min. Next week I plan to stop using the pump as "Top Feed" if roots will be well developed and probably I will use it as "Recirculation Pump" to keep nutrients in reservoir mixed better
30/10/19
Roots exposed to air inside reservoir got a little yellow after inserting the small fogger, so I will try to keep it 30/30 seconds ON/OFF. I will check next day if it's helpful to existing root o as root propagator for clone trial
Topped CMXL and did a little of LST just by bending the main stem to expose the small growing next to fan leaves.
The cutting was immediately dipped in a solution made by honey and Root Stimulation (the same I use for reservoir solution as it should contain rooting hormone), hoping it covers the cut like a gel and don't let the oxigen get in the cut until there will be some new growing.
After that I put the cutting on the lid without any pot, as you can see in the picture some tape is covering the hole and it holding the topping. I covered it with a small jar to maintain humidity, hope to see some roots next week ;)
I plan to fim LSD tomorrow if tonight grows enough
31/10/19
Filled the reservoir with 6L 20% strength solution and after that added 10% nutriment for 36L directly into the tote (like I did last week).
Now nutrient solution inside reservoir should be 30% strength and it's ready for the 3rd week
Pinched LSD Top with my fingers and applied LST by bending a little the main stem. Hope this FIMming works and returns better yield ;)
Cloning trial didn't worked (I was expecting nothing, just a test), the cut part of the topping is already dry. I knew the topping was too short, next time if I try to clone his stem will be at lest 2cm
Last Update 31/10/19
Next Update 03/11/19 with the next week
See you guys ;)
@CRK00, If there are many parts that receive less light and have fewer 'ready' trichomes, then you can leave those part longer to harvest.
Personally, I only harvest once.
Sweet smokes!

@Sweet_Seeds, I'm already checking trichomes and more than 80% is cloudy, are starting to appear now just a couple of Amber trichomes.
Now I'm doing a soft flush and probably in 2/3 days I'll harvest her.
Do you suggest to leave lower growth after harvest and try to give her a couple more weeks to have a second harvest?
Hands up for Cream Mandarine 😋😋
@CRK00, Hi buddy!
The final flowering time, can vary by many factors, one of them and very important the phenotype.
Our CMXL is a very special strain that everyone loves. We're glad to hear that you do too. :)
Remember that to know when to harvest, you must be guided by the status of the trichomes (not the pistils).
Sweet smokes!

@@WisdomCulture420, thanks mate! 👊
Today I checked the growth after some days and updated the diary ;)
I'm satisfied and I hope it keeps on going like that! 😋
