Week 8 Feeding update: Runoff PPM increased a lot, seems microbes did too much job, I increased watering intervals to keep them alive. Feed every day 50% dosage, will look if deficiencies happen.
Day 49 Update: Final defoliation was made, removed all undeveloped branches and lower fan leaves to the level of scrog net. Girls recovered pretty fast under extensive light, raised their leaves and are praying to Gods :)
Day 50 Update: Did half dose feeding. Girls seem to be happy as hell and rushing towards light, finishing stretch phase
Day 51 Update: I checked runoff and was shocked by 2500+ PPM, did 1/3 doze feeding till tomorrow to keep medium moist before flush
Day 52 Update: Did 750ppm 6.0PH 1/3 doze feeding flush per plant until runoff got to ~800ppm and 6.1 PH. Will let them rest till tomorrow and will increase watering volume with 1/3 feeding to check runoff
Day 53 Update: Same 750ppm feeding, runoff ppm was around 800, PH was 6.6. Seems there are some salts left in the bottom of fabric pot, will check it every watering.
Day 54 Update: Runoff PPM coming to norm in the range of +/- 100 from intake. Girls seem recovering, I doubt my 12$ PH pen does the job right, ordered Apera AI209 for better accuracy.
Day 55 Update: Girls fully recovered, I added 2x 45W UV/IR LED Bulbs for better spectrum and UV radiation for better trichome production. Added Fulvic and Calmag to the feeding, coco coir is breaking up, so it needs more calmag to replace broken fibers PK, that Flora Coco provides. Increased intake PPM to 850 from 750, Runoff was about 900, hoping fulvic acid will help roots to uptake more nutrients.
Day 56 Update: Did almost full strength feeding with 920ppm 2.5L to each (1L runoff). Runoff PPM made me happy, it was ~650, that means plants fully recovered and started eating. As you can tell by the photos, leaves on colas got twice as big as 2 days ago, plant is entering full flower phase. Bud sites are formed and I think it will be huge colas. Trichomes started to appear on small sugar leaves, I don't know it's because added UV / IR spectrum, or just because trichomes time has come :))

Grow Questions
AS205started grow question 4 years ago
Guys, girls got too bushy or not? Is it possible to defoliate in stretching phase? It's 10th day of 12/12, plants get 3-4cm every day, but bushes really hinder lower bud sites development... I am waiting for first flowers to appear to do defoliation and some lolipopping..

If you cant tuck them away then it wouldnt harm to much to defoilate just now. But do it all in one go, Dont want to constanly strip her during flower.
Good luck

Girls started showing sativa signs in stretch phase. They entered week 3 of 12/12 and flower stage fully began, still they continue to stretch and is it normal to show not symmetrical stem stretching? Plants have 30% sativa in genetics

It looks like the standard indica stretch, your plants were 22 cm tall before thee stretch and now are 40 cm. If it were a sativa it would have tripled its size. It also has to do with the size of the pot you are using, a smaller pot will keep the final size in check. Ans it is very normal for some stems to grow more than others

Dear community
Since stretching phase began and plants doubled in size, I started watering every day, F-W-1/2F-W-F. Plants look happy, showing no deficiencies or toxicity, runoff ppm increased to 2500!! Runoff PH is 6.0, input PH is 5.9-6.0 1000ppm. Does it need flushing?

Give only ph water for the next days, that happen when the plant donโt use every nutrient that you put on the last feeding, imagine you give 1500ppm but the plant only use 1000ppm that lives with 500ppm in the soil and that can cause salt buld up.
Wish it helps!

I noticed today, that my timer was set to 12.5 L - 11.5 D, so plants were not receiving 12 hours of darkness. They started flowering a bit later than I suspected after switching to 12/12, may it be the reason? I fixed timer to proper 12/12, will it affect anything?

It may be the reason, who knows... never seen a cannabis whisperer.
I guess all it did was simulate the natural reduction but i don't see any downsides, what could had happen was them not flowering but since that is not even in questioning... its all fine, just keep them under 12/12 and its fine.

Full flower feeding with reduced Grow part (Nitrogen) got solution only to ~700ppm. Full dose of liquid koolbloom, flora bloom, honey, organic bloom boster and calmag couldn't get ppm past 700. Can it cause the problem? maintaining high dosage of bloom nutrients with low ppm?

Your ph should be a little higher for flower, 6.2 / 6.3, I always start flower at a much lower ec than what I was running in veg.
I start flower nutes at 1.2ec when button size buds have formed I run that a week, if early yellowing starts the next dose is 1.4 and run that for early flowering. Mid flowering I run 1.6 to 1.8 ec and late flowering I knock the nutes back to 1.2 or 1.4 depending on whether there was early yellowing. You shouldn't be feeding and grow nutes, your bloom nutes have enough N for the plants availability. Adding N through flower slows your bud growth and will help lockout to start due to salt buildup. Cheers friend

Girls stretched too much in preflower phase due to bad light spectrum (too much red and blue). Will these form decent colas? Lights changed to TS1000 and I added some UV bulbs, they are getting extremely frosty and buds develop fast, but I am afraid they will remain thin :(

What do you mean by too much red and blue? Is your lamp more powerful than the sun?
- Looks like they've only been flowering for 3 weeks, and got 6 - 7 weeks to go, according to the breeder. don't worry about it.

Dear community,
Is making longest cola shorter a common practice during mid flowering? I have 1 cola, shooting too tall and almost burning under the light, others remain on normal distance. Can topping few CM of it cause dmg to all buds on the stem?

Why dont you bend them or ballast it down with a little rope linked to the pot ?
Cutting will damage the total harvest

@FreshCoastOrganics, Plant I chopped had worse health and root system than the plant I left for ripening, they have 7 days difference in germination time. So I will give it another week minimum, pistils are still all white. And she will give much more yield than first plant.
Can't wait for both of them to dry and weight in :D

@CheckThoseTrichs, Thank you! They have been through a lot of stress, since it is my first grow ever, I learned a lot from my mistakes, but the plants are so resilient to stress, even high stress like PH fluctuations from 5.0 to 8.0 during feeding because of chinese PH meter, or too much nutrients, improper light spectrum, flipping to flower before veg cycle completed properly. They did not show even 1 sign of deficiency or toxicity. I am amazed by Cookies genetics

@@Athos, Yes it's stretching pretty well. I just don't have experience yet, I thought that symmetrical node spacing between leaves (Left - Right) would be kept till the end. Now its forming buds so I thought, that node forming will keep that "indica" style symmetry. Lights are pretty close, around 35cm now on full power (350W 2x 170W bloomspect, one is on bloom + veg mode, second is only in Bloom mode), plants are in Praying to Gods state, happy and healthy. Have some foliage left under since the last defoliation, waiting for all buds sites to become formed, maybe next week I will do final lolipopping/defoliation.
I still give around 8-45-42 NPK total combined ratio per L, think will keep it through the flowering watching deficiency / overdose carefully
Thank you for help,
