TheUsualSuspect The extreme heat in the hydroponic buckets now that the ac is almost dead has severely slowed down the growth progress. Will change it asap, but for now I feel blessed that my girls still soldiers thru.
Topped them first time last week, seems to sprout new tops accordingly.
Also eager to see how it develops regarding the advice on nutrient regimen I took from @DWCHC, so far they seem to like it and respond well. Could be that I've been over careful with the nutes previously, we live and we learn :)
TheUsualSuspect The extreme heat in the water is really slowing down the whole grow process :(
At least I will get new ac's in 2 weeks so I can turn this around before it's too late...

TheUsualSuspect Looks like the worst is over... They bounce back faster than expected, thought they were gonna die there for a while. A new ac with 25K btu's was exactly what the doctor ordered...
TheUsualSuspect First day of flowering. I love this strain, need little attention and very resistant to fluctuations in conditions.
I know some of you think I must be crazy to keep a ph of 6.5 but it's only because the breeder recommends 6.5-6.7 ph in flowering. And I've tried to lower it to see if they still perform properly in 5.8ph, they don't...
They start to remind me of my wife on pms if lower than 6.3 and are happiest at 6.5-6.7ph (just like the breeder recommended, go figure...).

TheUsualSuspect Amazing that near total neglect sometimes is exactly what is needed for my kids to recover and come back even stronger than they initially was... Imagine if that worked on real kids ;)

TheUsualSuspect I subjected her to my version of "light" HST this week (i.e. I snap the stem ~20cm from the top so it's broken but attached, then I massage/twist the broken stem between my fingers until it's crushed and soft, but I don't tip them 90Β° instead I leave them standing tall). I normally tip them 90Β° bit this is something I started to do recently and it's more convenient with bushy tight plants (imo).

TheUsualSuspect Time for some light defoliation to allow more light penetration. Might gave gone a little overboard with the defoliation, I tend to do that.
As mentioned before, there's very few things (except pure bleach) that can slow this strain down. True warrior genetics, she's the kinda girl that claims there's NO bad weather only bad clothes, and she's dressed for battle...
I had a traffic accident and broke my leg and face so I was hospitalised during trimming n weighing, my friend helped me out but only took 1 single photo of a bud, so it is what it is, sorry for a shit diary. Next one will be improved, that's a promise.
it seems you have too much heat and low humidity level ...
maybe you need a better extraction system and air inflow
I 'd rather turn some lights off before you get your new AC
and keep water in big recipients to raise humidity level
try to keep max 24ΒΊC solution and air temperature ;)
btw plans look very nice and strong ... just roots are a bit overheated so keep going :)
@nexuscrypto, , π thanks mate. I followed your advice about the lights and dimmed them down to 50% and they immediately responded with vigour and health.
Well, that and the advice I got from @DWCHC regarding my feeding schedule has knocked me out of a folder I've been stuck in for way too long now (the "less-is-more" folder, which is a very good and safe folder to be in if you never want to elevate your skill).
But I m free at last... thank you both π
