Hi, Week 2 :) everything seems to be fine and the plants comes nicely.. i always had a tlittle problem with stratch at the beginning... this time i wanted to get them deep into the bucket to stabilize the stem.. but time time no strecth at all.. so the plants are really near the bucket... but ok... the roots are devolping great and i really happy after the first week in Hydro.. my PH Meter is sometimes a bit "jumpy" and i find it difficuilt to calibrate an be sure the values are correct! lets see! at the beginning like i said io wanted to them them grow naturally... but they grow so fast and so bushy that i had to do something... because i know the light is the source for everthing... no light "inside" the plant not a good development.. and i don't know why but it's insane how fast they react to everything... to because the normal way did not work out i had to do LST otherwise it will be to late.. The plants seems healthy so i gave it a go Let's see what happens next ;) Question to all the readers.. do you like the number of the pics or should i reduce them ?

Week 3 Today i changed the water an Nutriients (like every week) still growing great.. io changed a little bit of strategy for the 2 Plants... the left one was "faster and stronger" so i try LST a little bit "harder" an defoliating more to really let penetrat the plant i got some very smal spots on the plant.. after research it seems to be PH fluctuations... well there we go... i said i don't trust it anymore an now this... i can't order a new one because of the virus no delivery :( but it still grows ok... so i will leave it like this... enough stress for the plants ;) but even with those systoms i personnally think the results are good

Week 4 What a week... incredibel how fast thos plants can grow... from one dday to another sometimes it's like 4-5 days before you expect those results.. The Porblem with PH seems not be resolved but "stable" the first bud sites are visible and in full development .. next is i think will change to Bloom Nutritions... let's see

First week of Blooming :) i really like the remo nutrients because they are so easy to handle... same quantity for every bottle.. so relly easy to handle... and i think when using like they descibe you are on the "safe" side for burn... i got really some tipps where you can think it's burn... if thats the case im perfectly fine! PH is +- stable for what i can read but i'm still not sure if everythin is really alright... now i can also see a dramatic difference in both plants... the left one (more LST an defoliating) has better light penetration but seems not to a healthy as the right one... did i already the next error :( let's wait and see.... grow is still at peak in devoloping What do you think about the roots ? and it happens again... Why does my plant get SO big without Topping and massiv LST! i wanted not to habve that problem again... i think i have way to much plantmaterial "in" the plant... like light is not Penetrating all the way down.. (compared to the left plant..) but it still groiws like crazy... evebn when i defoliate one day.. the other day it getting worse ;) what is the right Strategy to handle the plant at that stage??.. (i had one created a Hermapphrotide for late defoliating and light polution (and still be the best Pod i ever smoked..)

Why dont you just leave it alone? The left plant has faster bud development because the stressnis forcing it to finish earlier and you will have a smaller overall yield on that plant. The plant need its leaves

Hi @Ivory it is best to remove everything under the net for the buds above to gain strength, you can also do some defoliation on some larger leaves at the top of the plant that are doing more shade. The secret of defoliation is to do it slowly and little by little, you can do it in 3 phases, intervals every 5 days to see how the plants react, so as not to stress and flowering is delayed. good luck mate 🙏👍

Ivorycommented5 years ago
@GreenHouseLab,yeah at the beginning i wnated the fastest an best way to grow.. but in the end the results are amazing but for a beginner to diffcult it gets better every grow grow.. but the faster the plants grow the faster you have to react faster an problems or things that happen.. i even stopped with CO2 because it was to much ;)
