AgroCultiveta Holaa, we'll start this follow-up from week 4. (since I started and didn't take photos from the beginning, it will help to learn) These are two cuttings that were given to me which were not identified. We're in winter in my country so I'm having issues with the temperature; I just changed my LED lighting and it's raising the temperature to 20ºC when it's on, which is a bit more acceptable compared to the 16º or at most 18ºC that I was getting with the previous one. Now I need to correct the temperature with the LED off, I'm thinking about what I'll do. That will be the main difficulty of this grow. If anyone has any recommendations, they'll be welcome!

AgroCultiveta Hey, 5th week of the cuttings. The good thing is that the temperature with the LED on reaches 22ºC for the most part and the humidity is around 50% to 65%. Both have grown and developed their branches more. The apical cutting has developed the buds of its 3 main branches and is starting to take more shape. Today they got their last transplant into 16L pots and I applied mycorrhizae (mico root) in direct contact with their roots. They have about 3-4 weeks of vegetation left because they will wait for the little plant that is just starting to show its first photosynthetic leaves. If the cuttings grow too much, I will apply pruning to control their size. The bad thing is that the temperature in the dark is very low, which could cause serious problems if it continues like this. That's why I'm waiting for a heating mat that should arrive this week. I hope to solve the problem with that. The humidity also rises, but nothing that good ventilation can't fix. They are accompanied by an avocado plant that I started from its seed, taking advantage of the space and the temperature in the cabinet. There's also a Black 44 that started its process during the week; I'll make a separate diary for it. Both don't need much light, so the light goes directly to the cuttings and reaches them more softly. Any recommendations will be welcome!

AgroCultiveta Hey there, it's week 6 and we're already overcoming the temperature issues. I received the heating mat and the temperature with the LED off rose to 16-17ºC, which is a big improvement compared to the 13-14ºC it was reaching. The cuttings are progressing well, the cutting with the apical pruning is developing the center stems and is taking on a nice shape. The cutting with LST is gaining more strength in its main stems and is becoming bushier. I started watering with water that has almost no EC and I haven't been able to add the basic nutrients to reach a base EC of 0.4. Because of this, I think the cuttings are showing a calcium deficiency, so I'm waiting for the SENSI CAL-MAG XTRA product from Advanced Nutrients; with this, I will correct the base EC of the watering water and will apply a foliar fertilization for the existing deficiencies. I hope the results are as expected. The cuttings are accompanied by the Negra 44, which has a separate diary, and an avocado tree. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated!!

AgroCultiveta Seventh week of the cuttings, everything is going well and nothing out of the ordinary. I started mixing purified water with tap water to have a more balanced EC since the product I ordered hasn't arrived yet, but I had to find a solution somehow, and for now, it's going quite well. I did some defoliation on the two cuttings so that their "main" shoots can define well and gain more strength. Both responded quite well to this stress. Today I added the scrog net, but none have reached the height yet, but they will soon. I'm also waiting for the Negra 44 that accompanies them to grow enough to start flowering, so there should be about 2-3 weeks left of veg. The temperature with the LED off is between 16-17ºC and I can't do much more. I did everything within my reach, so it's likely to stay in those ranges during the grow. I hope this doesn't cause any major difficulties in the cultivation. Any recommendations will be welcome!! *At the end, a photo of the guardian of the grow. He will often sneak into the content I’ll upload. 😅 😂

AgroCultiveta Eighth week of the cuttings. Everything is going very well, they have grown quite a bit and both look in good shape. I applied a second defoliation to give more space to the shoots I intend to keep. I completely bent one of its branches and it responded well, with this it can look bushier. I decided to remove the SCROG net because the 3 plants occupying the tent are not evenly distributed. This way, I can shape them with more freedom. There's less time left to start the beautiful flowering, I'm just waiting for the smallest plant to grow a bit more. Any recommendations will be welcome!!

AgroCultiveta Hey, ninth week of the cuttings. Both are doing great, they look quite bushy and I did their last defoliation on both until the day I start the 12/12 cycle, when I’ll do a light one to get them into flowering. I applied the supercropping technique to the main stem of the LST cutting, which helped lower it and bring it closer to the height of the other stems. The plant reacted very well to this stress and is already back to normal. This week I’ll do the first application of Delta9, which is a floral stimulant; I’ll apply it foliarly and in 10 days the cycle will switch to 12/12. The temperature this week has been colder and next week will be the same, but for now the plants look really good. Any recommendations will be welcome!!

AgroCultiveta It's already the tenth week of veg for these cuttings and everything is going really well. Soon, I'll switch their light cycle to 12/12 to start flowering. On Saturday, 07/25, I did the first application of Delta9, which was foliar. In 10 days, that is, on Tuesday, I'll switch to the 12/12 cycle and do the second application also via foliar. The third will be 10 days after the second and will be the only one done through watering. I'm letting them get nice and bushy to do a little thinning on the day I change the photoperiod so they can be ready to enter flowering. The temperature with the LED off is my only concern; I'll find a way to manage it during flowering when it will be off the most hours. Other than that, everything is going quite well, the two plants look good and show no signs of deficiencies. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

AgroCultiveta Hey, this is week number 11 for these cuttings and it's their last week of vegetation. More than these 7 days, the last two were already with the 12/12 cycle. The last defoliation was done on the day of the photoperiod change so they could enter flowering smoothly. I change the photoperiod gradually, reducing two hours of light each day until I reach 12/12. On 04/08 was when the 12/12 cycle began, which is why the second application of delta9 was done via foliar, the third will be in 10 more days and through watering. Other than that, everything is going pretty well, the two plants look good and without any possible deficiencies, I hope everything stays like this. Let's kick off the flowering!! Any recommendations will be welcome!!

AgroCultiveta Week 12 of the cuttings and their first week of flowering, they have actually been in bloom for 9 days. I do the waterings 1/1, one just with water (EC: 0.4) and the other with the fertilizers. For the waterings, I'm using Sensi cal-mag to reach a base EC of 0.4 and then apply the fertilizers. I adjust the pH with BioBizz regulators. Other than that, everything is going quite well, the two plants look good and show no signs of deficiencies, I hope everything continues like this. Let's keep going with the bloom!! Any recommendations will be welcomed!!

AgroCultiveta Week 13 of the cuttings and their second week of flowering, they've actually been in flower for 16 days. I water them 1/1, one just with water (EC: 0.4) and the other with fertilizers. For watering, I'm using Sensi cal-mag to reach a base EC of 0.4 and then apply the fertilizers. I adjust the pH with BioBizz regulators. During this week, the third and final application of Delta9 was made via watering. This was done on the tenth day of flowering, that is, on 14/08. Other than that, everything is going pretty well, the two plants look good and show no signs of deficiencies, I hope everything continues like this. Let's keep going with the flowering!! Any recommendations will be welcome!!
