At day 20 I switched to flowering and sent my light schedule to 12/12 hours of light/darkness, therefore this is the first week of flowering now. I know that these plants from seeds are still to immature to switch to flowering directly, but they will grow slower with 12/12 until they are old enough to flower. This should happen when they are appr. 4 weeks old from germination, then they will be mature enough to be able to flower. I do this, because the Growfor.Life-Closet is limited in its heigth and I want compact and short plants at the end, so i can keep a minimum distance to the LED-lights from SANlight, which are built into the closet. The minimum distance should be appr. 25 cm from the canopy. At Day 25 the biggest three plants (=Double Dutch from Serious Seeds and OG-Kush from Humboldt-Seeds) have grown so many leaves that they start to touch each other and condensed water is building up between them, the plants seem to sweat. This means I have to defoliate the plants again in order to get a better airflow and also to let the light penetrate deeper into the canopy. You can see a video-tutorial for defoliation I made on Day 25. The scissors I use in the video came WITH the closet, they have a special anti-sticky coating and work like a TREAT! During the defoliation I recognize that one sidebranch of a Double Dutch plant is TRIFOLIATE (see in pics!), this means each node grows three instead of two leaves and sidebranches out of it. That is a rare occurrence in cannabis and can be seen like finding a 4-leafed clover. Although this should mean good luck, I also realize more and more fungus gnats flying around and put some sticky yellow strips (=sticky traps for insects) inside the closet. The plants also seem to get a little bit lighter in their green color in general, therefore I decide to start adding nutrients (=PLAGRON-TERRA-BLOOM) to my waterings now. All in all the plants grow like hell (the biggest one is appr. 30 cm tall at the end of week4) and develop excellently...I LOVE THE EXPERIENCE WITH MY GROWFOR.LIFE-CLOSET until now!
I hate fungus Gnats,,,, and in some runs i have to fight them hard, The worst thing is the larvaes in the soil,,, every grown up gnat puts eggs into the soil, and 2 weeks later you have hundreds of larvaes in your soil... and thats what they do... munching the roots.
I fight them in every stage. Nematodes into the soil, neemoil on the layer and onto the leaves and yellowstickers like you
I hope you win the battle
Great that you start a diary with this grow cabinet ! 👍😊
Last year at Mary Jane Expo in Berlin i have seen this product and took some flyers of it. It looks like a very well made product but the price is very high.
Btw you have a really nice collection of Grow equipment. This cabinet + 2 x Sanlight Q4W Gen.1 + 2 x Sanlight Q4W Gen.2...
Serious gardener 😀
Nice to see another grow up and running on the grow diary platform with our OG Kush 🤗
Good luck with the grow ahead my friend 🙏
Let's see what you can do 🤘
Kind regards ✌️
Team-HSO..
@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, Mahalo for your kind words and following the grow. 🙏 I love the devlopment of your OG-Kush until now...it already smells very 'kushy'! 😎
@GrownwithLED, I love your detailed diary, man! 😍 GREAT to see the daily development of the plants and also how you deal with problems. I wish you good luck and that the Nematodes work against the fungus gnats. 👍😎
@grownwithled, WOW...that closet is awesome...even a drying mode at the end...I am FLABBERGASTED! Too bad about your bud-rot problem, but almost unavoidable with that heat and humidity now. Well done, man! 👍😎
@Compassionate_Gardener, Thx for following the grow and the enthusiasm about the Growfor.Life-closet...its really the most beautiful and most stealthiest grow-cabinet I HAVE EVER SEEN and worked with! 👍😁
@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, I had to harvest early, because of Bud-Rot. Your OG-Kush was the frostiest of the plants at that time and harvested 20 gram of dried bud. It had a nice OG-Kush aroma and taste, its very good medicine for my back pain! 👍😎
@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, Mahalo for your support! 🙏 Luckily I dont have spidermites until now, only a little fungus gnats problem, which I solved with Nematodes. Your OG-Kush is developing GREAT until now...smells very 'Kushy' alreday! 😎
