Day 14 - Watered with 600ml of water + 1ml/L of ATA Calmag, 1ml/L of B'cuzz root stimulator e 1ml/L of BioBizz Bioheaven - Also turned on the bloom (red) light on lamp, as i read that with this Niello LED 300W it could be better to stimulate also veg growing. Looks like today got quite bigger, i'll see the next days
Day 15 - Visible growth in last 48hrs
Day 16 - Possible effects of pH shock or something like that, i found out tap water is pH 8.1, a pH meter is coming in the next days so i can balance water with nutes
Day 17 - No nutes, water only
Today my plants got something weird on their leaves. Some stains appeared on older leaves, and the new ones have a strange color, it looks like they are painted. More or less the same on another plant, some edges on new leaves look burned and weird color and shape on new leaves
Day 21 - Looks like she perfectly recovered from the problem she had last week (PH shock? Still don't know). Anyway i think this Atami Kilomix soil is just a bomb, probably a little too much, but i have to say that there are so many leaves (and some of them are so big, like a man's hand) so i think everything is more than fine. I hope she stretches a little in the next days, leaves are starting to become a problem in that small height.
Day 26 - Changed air extractor for a more powerful one (Vents 125) and added an oscillating fan, now HR is under control at about 50% (it was 60/65)
Day 27 - Some last LST adjustments before leaving her recover and start flowering (pistils there)
Do you think i should defoliate? There are really a lot of leaves for being 21 days old, and 3-4 of them are the size of a man's hand. She did not stretch too much till now, so there's a huge amount of leaves in a small space.
I made LST these last 2 days, not going to top. Thx
Defoliating in vege is no big deal. it can always grow back if you make a mistake and just delay things slightly as needed.
That said, only cut stuff off that helps other growth - useful growth. Somethign buried nad has a distance to grow horizontally before it can even think of growing vertically isn't worth the effort.
If not going to top, bend the dominant cola down to others' height or you won't ge tmuch from the LST, or top it, but sound like you want to avoid that. both will work.
The tallest cola will always take the most resources, and it will dominate more so over time if not manipulated to do something else.
Day 29 | Starting to flower, i watered with 1ml/L of Bio-Bloom. Quite bushy, i hope she stretches a little in the next days
Day 31 | Removed a couple of old fan leaves that were turning yellow because not catching any light
Day 32 | Watered with 1ml/L of Bio-Bloom at 6.2PH, 2L with small runoff
Day 35 | Some minor defoliation of old fan leaves and some little LST adjustments
Day 36 | Watered with 1ml/L of Bio-Bloom and 1ml/L of Plagron Green Sensation at 6.2PH, 2L with small runoff
I don't remember if I already wrote about this, but I'm using apple winegar to pull down PH, I use tap water at 8.1, with something like 2ml/L I can reach PH 6.2. Ladies seem ok with this.
Day 39 | Watered with 1ml/L of Bio-Bloom and 1ml/L of Plagron Green Sensation at 6.3PH, 1,4L with no runoff
Day 42 | Made some defoliation of the lower area just to make more air-flow there and not to have small lower popcorns. Looks like she's a little sad about that, i hope she recovers soon and I hope not to have made a mistake in this particular moment of her growth (she was stretching a little)
Day 45 | Some other yellow leaves in the lower part of plant, it may be some deficiency (N or Cal-Mag, i'll add it in the next watering)
Day 46 | Watered with 1 Vertafort Bloom Booster tablet for the first time (1.6L total, small runoff). Also added a small part of BioBloom to have some N and a small part of Cal-Mag, i hope to recover some deficiency she's showing, otherwise i'll try to flush. Also recovering from defoliation, overall she looks better than yesterday
Day 51 | Still trying to recover from what i think it's a deficiency. Bought an EC meter and found out that i was quite low with nutes considering plant stage (something like 800) so I ph 6.3 watered with more nutes (now i'm at 1150-1200): 0.4ml/L of BioBloom for some N, 1 Vertafort tablet, 1ml/L of CalMag and reintroduced Plagron Green Sensation 0.4ml/L. Except some yellowing leaves on the bottom, she looks pretty good and her main cola is fattening.
Day 54 | I ph 6.3 watered with 0.5ml/L of BioBloom for some N, 1 Vertafort tablet, 1ml/L of CalMag and Plagron Green Sensation 0.5ml/L.
Day 56 | She's getting thirsty, watered again with 0.5ml/L of BioBloom for some N, 1 Vertafort tablet, 1ml/L of CalMag and Plagron Green Sensation 0.5ml/L., 2,2L with small runoff
Day 59 | Buds are getting bigger and quite long, i wish i had LST her better to even all branches. She and her sister are getting thirsty: watered today with 1 Vertafort Bloom Booster Tablet + 0.5ml/L Bio Bloom + 1ml/L CalMag + 0,5ml/L Plagron Green Sensation for a total of 2.3L with almost no runoff.
Day 62 | Made some defoliation to help lower buds having more light. Watered with 1 Vertafort Bloom Booster Tablet + 1ml/L Bio Bloom + 1ml/L CalMag + 1ml/L Plagron Green Sensation for a total of 2.5L with almost no runoff. EC 1.9 PH 6.3
Day 65 | She's starting to get some weight in buds. Probably 2 more weeks or something like that.
Day 66 | Watered with 1ml/L Bio Bloom + 1,5ml/L CalMag + 1,5ml/L Plagron Green Sensation (2.5L). EC 2 PH 6.3
Day 69 | Watered with 1ml/L Bio Bloom + 1ml/L CalMag + 1ml/L Plagron Green Sensation (2.5L). EC 2 PH 6.3
Day 73 | Watered with 0.5ml/L Bio Bloom + 1ml/L CalMag + 1ml/L Plagron Green Sensation. 2.5L, EC 1800 PH 6.3
Day 77 | Even if it's early (trichomes look still clear, except some milky and some amber) today i started flushing with PH6.3 water because i have just a few days before i leave for some weeks. I can't go further with her, and that's a pity because she's really getting fat now. I will probably harvest in 10-12 days.
Day 80 | Flushed with 10L of PH 6.3 water. Second and last flush, i will put her on ice within 3 days, leave her 48h in the dark and harvest on sunday (unfortunately i can't wait longer because i have to leave for some weeks).
Day 86 | I have no more days before leaving so i'm harvesting today. I flushed her twice with 10L of PH6.3 water and gave her some ice and darkness for 60 hours. Smell is persistent and buds look good.
I'm really satisfied for my first grow, i made a lot of mistakes (specially with PH and EC) but she was strong and made a 43g harvest. Unfortunately is very hot these days (30°C) and i don't have any cooling system, so drying process was really fast (4 days), i'm going to jar with Bovida hoping they will slow down the process. I will update with smoke test when curing will end (tried a sample with Volcano, pretty good high).
