Round 2 : Lemon Shining Silver Haze

Hello for the last time on this fun and challenging grow 🙂 I had a good but slow start. Where other users have amazing roots development in the first weeks I always manage to have not as much roots. No defencies or problems but just slow progress. After transplant to the final pot she always catches up but I feel like I miss an important stage/process in the first 5 weeks. Once transferred she has an explosive growth with little problems caused by me this year. In week 8 to 13 I had PH problems wich caused lockouts that affected the Pottasium uptake. PH is the most important thing that I learned this grow. Don't believe post or advertising that says u don't need to control it or organic products that promise to adjust the soil themselves. CHECK PH!! After that adjustment (also some worm castings were added) she grew well and developed nice. A very nice but bushy plant. Needs heavy defolation for a good airflow and big inspection on the small popcornbuds. Very forgiving for mistakes. The big smell starts around 2nd week of flowering. I never have a big stretch and this is the reason : I stress her out too much with moving her every night for the forced flowering. 62cm in vegative and 74cm by end of flowering is not a big stretch. Especially for an outside grow. I used less nutrients. More supportive this year then boosting the hell out of her and trying the maximum doses. With the plagron soil and the RQS organic nutrients already in I had a good base so I didn't want to overdo it. I also flushed for 3 weeks instead of the recommended 2. No bugs or Budrot this year. I salute myself for that because I did extra things to prevent them. Sticky traps, ladybugs and daily inspections for the bugs and no raindays were allowed once the 3rd week of flowering kicked in. I always moved her inside when rain came up and put on a ventilator to adjust humidity inside too. She always was placed inside at an open door when it was bad weather. Lots of moving around but it payed off 😋 Final week I splitted the stem. I left it that way for 5 days but wouldn't risk more. No microscope so I couldn't check the trichomes. She flowered for 10,5 weeks. One week extra than the breeders at RQS say and 90% brown pistils so it was harvest window for sure. Once again a cool project where I learned a lot of things. Favorite hobby for sure haha. Thx a lot @JinksyGrows, @northernMike, @kingmcdaid, @Weedovaurus and @Med_in_Tropic for all advice and comments. I know a lot about the basics but for smarter details and experience we can all learn a lot here. I will read in on roots, more ph details and maybe an other way to do forced flowering for my next grow. I can already tell that will be the RQS Royal Jack Automatic since I got 2 seeds for free this year. Hope everyone is still safe and healthy. I wish you all a good Christmas and a happy new year of this fucked up 2020. Adios friends
