leliantu Nitrogen deficiency is detected, the EC and the ml/L ratio should be increased. First foliar application of Big One to stimulate flowering. On Sunday, May 3rd, they should be switched to flowering.

leliantu At the beginning of the 6th week of growth, I noticed a severe nitrogen deficiency, with lower leaves starting to yellow and red stems, so I applied a more intense feeding regimen during this week, which has yielded good results as there are signs of recovery in the plants and there was no over-fertilization. Starting this Sunday, the flowering period should begin.

leliantu It switches to flowering after 50 days of growth. In Orange 1 and 2, Cropping is done on the main stem; in Orange 1, the stem is broken and treated with Clonex and tape, it recovers slowly and you can see growth of lower buds as a result of the injury. Orange 2 responds well to Cropping, but we won't insist on that technique for now. The root growth, through mycorrhizae, has been incredible and the whole root ball is colonized; I wonder if this growth could become a problem for the plant. There are signs of over-fertilization, so there will be 3 waterings with enzymes before the next watering with nutrients.

leliantu 60 days since germination. 10 days of flowering. Defoliation was applied at the beginning of the week, all the large leaves were removed except for the lowest ones. This week, flowers are starting to form on the top and side branches, so flowering nutrients are beginning to be applied. Orange 1 is still recovering from the break in the main stem; as a result of that injury, the side branches have started to grow strongly, which is good, but I think the stress caused will affect the final yield too much. Orange 2 continues to grow vigorously, just like Northern 1, while Northern 2 is growing slowly but looks healthy. Even though a watering with nutrients is done followed by 2 waterings with enzymes, signs of over-fertilization are still appearing at the tips of the leaves. 40 grams of SuperGuano are added per plant.

leliantu 69 days since germination, 19 days since flowering. The plants are in their third week of flowering, still stretching and growing a little more. This week, the amount of nutrients was increased, and consequently the EC, per liter reaching a total of 4 liters of solution (7 ml top blom, 5 ml big one, 8 ml top candy), signs of over-fertilization are appearing again at the tips of the leaves.

leliantu 76 days since germination. 26 days since flowering. The plants have stopped their vertical growth. Now the fattening stage begins; although the substrate was fertilized twice with bat guano (which is rich in phosphorus), I'm considering boosting the process with a high PK fertilizer.

leliantu 81 days since germination. 32 days of flowering. Severe symptoms of over-fertilization are appearing in Orange 1, while the other plants show either no signs of over-fertilization or the symptoms are milder. Waterings with Flawless Finish are being done as treatment. In the sixth week of flowering, the fertilization regimen should be resumed but with a reduced amount of fertilizer per liter.

leliantu 89 days since germination - 13 weeks. 39 days since the change to the flowering period. The plants are continuing their path to maturity. Orange 1 is still suffering from over-fertilization symptoms, so it's on a watering regimen of water with enzymes and flawless finish. The other plants are developing without issues. This week, I resumed the feeding regimen but reduced the doses and with an EC of 1.1. I'm thinking about whether to feed next week or just start the water-only period with enzymes from the next watering. P.S.: I need to invest in a good pH meter (which are expensive, by the way) and calibrate the EC meter.

leliantu 96 days since germination. 47 days of flowering. We're entering the final weeks of cultivation and the buds are fattening up nicely. Finally, to a greater or lesser extent, all the plants suffered from over-fertilization and I see 2 factors responsible for this; 1. I overdid it with the amount of bat guano (high in phosphorus) that I used to fertilize the substrate and 2. halfway through flowering, my 2 measuring tools, the EC and pH meters, broke down. When I calibrated them the other day, I realized, and since we're in quarantine, it's complicated for me to get new meters, so I suspended the feedings with nutrients and have been watering only with enzymes and Flawless Finish. I'm going to keep it this way until the end of the grow. I have to keep an eye out for mold; where I live, the humidity is very high, not dropping below 60% and it has even reached (according to my thermo-hygrometer) 96%. That’s it, happy growing everyone. 💪

leliantu I harvested the smallest of the Northern Lights. In the end, I got 68 grams wet and 13 grams dry from that plant (I'm writing this with a 2-month delay, sorry for the few details).

leliantu During these weeks, I only applied water with flush, my pH and EC meters broke around this time, and due to the quarantine, it became complicated to get new ones, so the waterings were done blindly, and I have to be certain that the EC and pH were out of the parameters (I'm writing this two months late).
