Dairon I'm starting again, with the heat as my biggest enemy, another grow, this time I've chosen genetics that lean more towards haze, as they handle high temperatures better. Let's see how it goes, happy growing!

Dairon After the first week, I transplanted into a 5.5 L pot. The substrate is from Biobizz, 75% Light mix and 25% Coco mix. In the first watering of the week, I also added mycorrhizae; it's always better to be safe, which is why I also used Leaf Coat from Biobizz. Since I started using it, no insects or fungi have appeared in my grow.

Dairon Hello! You can see the apical pruning done and how in a week they have doubled in size. I'm going to remove some other plants I have to take cuttings later, so I can space out the ones from this grow and lower the panels, increasing the EC to 1.2 so they get a good boost and switch to flowering in a few days. Good vibes 😎

Dairon Some of the plants have stayed short due to pruning, for now because the sativas grow for a longer time after switching to 12/12, let's see what final size they have. To stimulate vertical growth, I will do a low pruning, but I'm really liking them even though they are short, but well-branched. The extremely high temperatures, up to 32º at times (when the humidifier runs out of water hehehe), don't help at all, but I'm going to keep fighting against it. I use Leaf Coat as a preventive measure, and since it leaves a fine layer of natural latex, it helps prevent pests and avoids dehydration, making the plants suffer less from the heat. Good smokes!!!

Dairon As you can see, they haven't grown much in height but have grown in width and branching. In fact, I'm going to have to trim the bottoms again to make the most of the light and take some clones. They'll start showing flowers soon. Good vibes!

Dairon I'm pleasantly surprised by the two genetics I've planted; they just keep growing and they've been on 12/12 for 21 days now. Good branching and internodes are nice and tight. For now, until I see them start flowering, I'll stick with the same EC, alternating waterings with osmosis water, raising the EC to 0.4 with Biobizz Calmag, a Calcium and Magnesium supplement, which you can use for organic growing in coco with Biobizz or increase the EC if you're using osmosis water... At least the temperatures have dropped a bit and the plants appreciate it. I hope they start flowering soon. Good vibes!

Dairon Hey, as you can see, they've really taken off. After taking the photos, I had to do some low pruning again, taking out some pretty big branches, which I'm going to clone and label just in case something worth keeping comes out. They're already showing pre-flowers, even though they've been on 12/12 for 4 weeks; it's like it's the first week for indica marijuana specimens. I'm sticking with an EC of 1.2 until I start seeing flowers, where I'll gradually increase it with care since it's my first time planting sativas and I don't want to over-fertilize them. I'm doing one watering with nutrients and another with osmosis water, correcting until I reach an EC of 0.4. I measure the water that drains from the pots for both pH and EC to ensure there are no nutrient deficiencies or excesses. I'll clean the grow tent and spray the plants with Leaf Coat for prevention. They're doing great; let's see how they continue. Good smokes!!! 😄

Dairon As you can see in the video, they have doubled in size in just 12 days, so it has been necessary to use stakes and a strong low pruning since I won't be able to do more. The first flowers are appearing, and with that, I will gradually increase the EC, but with great care not to over-fertilize.

Dairon Here we have the sativas giving it their all, they're on a good pace because despite what the seed banks say about 10 weeks, these are going for 11-12 weeks of flowering. You can already see how some good and long buds are forming. I'm increasing the EC and pH so they can take up more phosphorus and potassium, so the flowers gain volume and weight. They don't smell much yet, and I should also mention that cannabis plants grown under LED smell less during cultivation, with the advantage of retaining more terpenes, which smell stronger when smoked and have a more intense flavor than those grown under sodium. I've taken several clones to keep one as a mother; they are genetics with a good reputation and explosive growth, so by putting up a net with 4 plants, I would fill my grow space doing SCROG in no time. Let's see how those buds fatten up, cheers and good smokes!!

Dairon The end is getting closer for a couple of specimens that have a phenotype with a shorter flowering period; the rest still have at least two weeks left. I will be doing a root wash on those two and will continue with the same feeding plan for the ones that are not ready yet, raising the pH so they can take up more P and K and finish fattening the buds, and then I'll water only with water until it's done and harvest. GOOD SMOKES!!!!!

Dairon Hello everyone, well this grow is coming to an end, due to the high temperatures it hasn't been as good as other times and the production has decreased, being the first time I've grown sativas I was a bit lost too. Autumn has arrived and soon I will grow them again under better conditions from the cuttings I took from them. The Jack la Mota only has the root flush left, while the LLimonet still has some time, they barely have any brown hairs, so I will give them a couple of waterings with nutrients and I will also prepare to flush the roots. Intense smell in all of them, but the Jack la Mota smells stronger, which I will cut as soon as they dry. Cheers!!😄

Dairon Very tough variety, holds up well to excess heat, of course this affects production but for those of us who smoke a lot, we can't stop even in summer. It's a plant that stretches up to three times its size when going into flowering, with a max EC of 1.6 to 1.7 it's more than enough. Soft pine - incense smell in 4 specimens, the 5th one smells more fruity.

Dairon Well, let's move on to the rest of the plants. Here you can clearly see that the Limonet Haze are still not ready. I've decided to give them a good root bath to force them to mature, and I will continue watering with osmosis water just to clean them out well. The last of the Jack la Mota is already ready for harvest, so I'm giving it a root wash, and as soon as it dries, I'll harvest it.
