First Nano Grow

Day 49: This set up keeps BL growing much slower than expected. While I am seeing more flowering sites pop up on her, and she's still looking fancy, I am not seeing any bud growth. On PB I decided to defoliate some of her lower leaves, especially the ones that messed with the flow of her shape, plus they were starting to yellow. I am starting to get a bit impatient and ordered some more seeds, so my next diary will be more videos and less text. Day 50: The guanokalog powder I ordered is on the way which is perfect for the flower stage. Day 51: Powder should come in later today and I will also ordered a 150W lamp for BL as she is flowering and needs some more light in her life. Day 52: The fruit fly? Or Aphid problem has become a really big nuisance. Spraying neem on the soil doesn't seem to work, so I just kill a handful everytime I go and check on them. They will overrun the place. The soil seems to be decreasing, is that a thing?? Finally tracked down the courier for the package and added a top layer of Guanokalog to the soil. 18g to BL and less than that to PB. I had ordered some BioBzz Bloom so I will add that to BL in a few days. Day 53: Fungus gnats!! That's what they are. So I am trying to spray a more concentrated neem spray and the guano powder to the soil hardened the top layer which makes it harder for the gnats to reproduce. And added a layer of perlite to the top. In the evening I am now noticing a little bit of nutrient burn on BL's leaves. I think she needs much less of a feeding based on her size. Will wait until mid next week to feed some BioBzz then. Day 54: The perlite seems to be working, although it does make watering a bit harder (since I can't figure out when the soil is dry). Will start to transition PB now, by wrapping her up in a large black pot and putting her in a cardboard box. Putting her into darkness at 8PM, and will take her out in the morning. I've also been making cannabis tea with some of the leaves and it's been a perfect night time drink :). All good things! Day 55: Ordered a 150W lamp for BL which should come next week as PB starts to flower. Tied down BL a little bit more so that the top flower sites start to get the same level of light. Smell is getting stronger now. I am pretty stoked about this beauty
