--------------------------------Fifth week----------------------------
-2020/06/18: I'm defoliating them again just before putting them into 12/12 light schedule.
-2020/06/21: I'm breaking some stems to promote the growth of the secondary stems.
-2020/06/22: I'm preparing a ACT (aireated compost tea). The formula that I'm using is 3% fulvic acid+ 5% humic acid+5% worms humus+10%banana skin tea+7% flowering guano + 70% osmosis water (increased EC to 450ppm with organic calcium and magnesium). Then I regulate the PH with Organic PH-- to 6.4-6.6. Then I use an air machine to introduce air.
-2020/06/24: After almost 48h I add the ACT to the plants. Finally I made them the last defoliation.
I'm noticing that they are growing faster using 3 min of far red while the main lights are on (just before they shutdown) and after the shutdown of the main lights using 15 min of only far red.
As my master told me, you can reduce the night hours while keeping them in flowering or you just can keep the "standard light flowering schedule" and short the days neccesary for the full maduration of the fruit.
PD: I've been working a lot so I've not been updating the diary as much as I would like to. Sorry abot that.
--------------------------------Fourth week----------------------------
-2020/05/31: I am repoting them into 7L pots. During this process I'm applying mycorrhizae on the root system (after pruning them a bit). After transplanting them I sprinkle 1g/L of soil of BioGrow by GreenHouse Feeding.
-2020/06/01: I'm starting to apply LST on the central stem and first defoliation.
-2020/06/05: I've changed the LST direction and I've notice a big improvement on the grow of side stems.
-2020/06/05: I've installed a DIY drip system as irrigation. On the next weeks I will be upgrading this to a nebulizers system.
-2020/06/10: I give them again Enhancer by Greenhouse Feeding & sprayed them with Neem Oil+ Propolix. I'm freeing them from the LST.
-2020/06/11: I'm defoliating them again just before putting them into 12/12 light schedule.
--------------------------------Past weeks----------------------------
- 2020/05/05: I've prepared my growing medium wich is made by: 45% LightMix by Biobizz + 40% coco by Canna + 10% perlite + 5% arlite on the bottom.
- 2020/05/06: I'm using 'Easy Start' from RQS for the germination process.
- 2020/05/08: After 2 days I got only 1/3 seeds germinated. I'm little bit disappointed. Since I got 5 seeds from Greenhouse, I've decided to start the germination process on the other two seeds.
- 2020/05/9: I'm moving them to 'Ikea Vaxer' Hydro system. I'm only using the structure and light without the Hydro part.
- 2020/05/11: Another seed from the first batch have germinated.
- 2020/05/14: It looks like another one from the second batch is germinating. I will have 3 of 5 seeds germinated then, not that bad.
- 2020/05/20: Definitely I got 3 of 5 seeds germinated. I'm moving them to my grow tent.
- 2020/05/21: I give them "Kraken" from "Mycoterra".
- 2020/05/25: I give them 2.5gr of "Bactohemp" from "Agrobacterias". I've sprayed them with Neem Oil + Propolis.
