So, the babies are slowly getting bigger; New set of leaves has come up.
Temperatures are still ok, even though humidity has slightly raised needs still some improvement. They're starting to drink a little bit more. Day four, no fertilizing yet, there's a small quantity of nutrients in the added soil, enough for now. Newt week they're going to be transplanted in a bigger and final pot (11l approximately)
End of week 2, quite satisfied for the moment, no big issues. The last pics are just before the following (and probably last) transplant to the fabric 10l pot.
Coconut and perlite substrate made a great work with the roots, they filled the entire pot pretty quickly and were starting to get all out the bottom.
Still no fertilizers added, nitrogen seems to be ok (it's not just coconut, some soil's been added just for the first times). Real soon the feeding schedule is going to start, next week the ladies're going to be topped and lightly trained.
Several sprouts are developing and humidity seems to be somehow stable around 50%
Plants transplanted with success, these are 11l final fabric pots. They're starting to eat more and looking slightly pale, so the feeding schedule has official started today, grow and bio at the same time. The plants have now double the amount of light, both lamps are set for a total amount of 250 effective watts.
The pheno #2 is definitely showing some pronounced bushiness, low space from internode to internode.
Update day 20 Almost the end of the week, topped voluntarily on the 6th internode, apparently old to be topped but the recover is way quicker, and the overall height is still low, 12 cm. Waiting the next days for recovery and fourth week will be dedicated mostly to LST.
End of fourth week. Despite some minor troubles with ec, now everything seems stable, plants are spreading horizontaly. Dominant colas have all been supercropped to create an even and flat canopy. The fifth week will be the last one, probably scrog net's going to be set real soon.
Almost ready for the switch, plants are taking the right flat canopy shape. Every cola has been tightly locked by LST. As soon as the light schedule changes the scorg net is going to be set. A real minor defoliation has been applied just to get more light penetration into the canopy, nothing aggressive.
Officially into flowering phase. Keeping on with the game, spreading the plants horizontally as much as we can. Probably this is going to be the last week of effective vegetation, so the training'll go (supercropping and LST) on until the very end. The E.C is now quite high, around 1,5.
Seventh week, day 46, keeping on cropping and LST, dominant colas in #1 have been fimmed and #3 has been topped. The stretch should start within a few days. Feeding schedule is going to change just after the stretch.
Effective flower has officially started. The stretch was absolute on point and under control, all plants are mostly the same height, they didn't stretch a lot at all. Some Epsom salt has been added to the feeding for magnesium because Florahydro is lacking it.
day 22 A small nitrogen deficiency is affecting the plants, the E.C is gonna be the same but to solve this issue the fertilizing frequency is increased.
day 25 The deficiency has definitely decreased, some real tiny buds at the bottom have been removed, but thanks to the total height of the plants the popcorn buds are not a lot at all.
Everything is proceeding quite well, the E.C. from now will be gradually decreased, until last week of just plain water.; especially the total nitrogen will be less.
Buds are slowing fattening up. Reducing always more, but gradually, nitrogen content. A real quick defoliation has been applied, just to remove bigger fan leaves, nothing aggressive.
Buds have definitely put some mass on, all colas seem pretty vigorous and full of nutrients. Towards the final end, probably just two weeks to harvest; so this 7th week of flower the E.C. will be around 700/800 with some molasses for terpenes and sugars.
The harvest will be within this final week, E.C. has been taken down to 120-160 for all three plants. Only demineralized water for this week, no molasses no fertilizers.
Thricomes are just on point; #2 is mostly cloudy while #1 and #3 are starting to get some amber heads. By the way plants are absolutely in time with the bank times for flowering.
Overall nice grow despite some trouble with drying, 35% humidity has been hard to correct at best. Buds seem decently hard, not the heaviest yield but it could be worse.
