Week 13 complete and another travesty occurred. This is a lot harder than I thought. But I have been making major changes and the lesson is that when I do make the changes to be a little more careful in watching how things are going rather than leave it a day. It's especially annoying as I think Wanda has finally started to bloom :/ The recent changes I have made have been to add a new TS1000 Marshydro and a larger oscillating fan. I got rid of my 40W LED and now using the old 600W non brand for veg and put the TS1000 over Wanda and Wilma. In the last 24 hours (one day and one night) I registered a RH low of 30% and a temp High of 30C and RH high of 50% and low temp of 14C. So there are drastic changes over the night in temp. I may need to time the heating to go off when the lights are on to balance the temps and maybe put the fan on a timer too. However the reason for the fan was because I had a mites issue. To resolve this (and please feel free to interject in the comments) I wanted to increase airflow, hence the new fan, I have sprinkled Diatomaceous earth around the base of the plants, and sprayed some NeemOil on the base and leaves too. I know Neem oil is not recommended for flowering plants, so have only used it on Wanda and the others that haven't flowered in the tent. When I checked today they look to have gone mostly from Wanda and Wilma but there are some still on the other plants so will keep spraying and sprinkling to hopefully get rid. As you can see in the photos the plants have drained considerably. I have sprayed some water on the leaves and buds and given a good drink. They are in the lords hands now. Hopefully they will recover and we can continue onwards and upwards!

I will upload a vid to better show but here goes.. I add 2L fresh water ~ 6.5PH to bottle. Add a splash of PH- then shake. I measure the solution, reads ~5PH. I pour some out, add water, clean and dry probe, shake solution and re-measure > 4PH!!? More water I add PH drops?!

Yeah, make sure you use distilled water to calibrate you PH meter. Tap, spring, or any other water source will always have varying PH levels, so likely the water you are adding is just more acidic, or your PH tester is off. The good news is that you are probably overthinking it. More likely than not, your standard tap water will be alright if you let it sit for 24 hours to get rid of any chlorine. You should only have to augment PH if you experience invest nutrient lock, and you can do so simply with lemon juice or aglime (one goes up, one goes down)

Is it me, or are they tiny compared to most at 20 days from germination?

Hey! They look a bit behind compared to most but nothing you should worry about. To speed up the growth you need to feed them more water but only if they're asking for it.. I see you giving them 200ml, maybe up that a bit. if they soil is drier than the last time you watered they're asking for more.. being careful not to over water and stunt them. Good luck and happy growing!

So after I mildly cooked the plants - some of the fan leaves have shrivelled. Is it worth snipping them off or just letting them do their thing?

Hello So it doesn't really look too bad. I would remove the few dry curly burnt ones and leave it. At least it'll open up some more light penetration and the leaves don't work as well when they're damaged anyways, so really they're just in the way now. It only looks like maybe 4 leaves to be removed on the one plant which shouldn't stress it negatively. Happy growing.

It has entered flowering mode you can see the preflowers, make sure your light is far enough away to get the best size and stretch out of your girls and keep it at 18/6 or 20/4 would be best. Make sure she gets a dry spell every now and then too. 🌱👍

Is it time to defoliate or note? Asking as I have read to do a little Defol as they start to flower, not sure what is the right moment and to be honest what the right fan leaves to remove?

At the moment i will let them grow, they are so tiny that u can hurt them. Maybe one big leaves per plant or two max with the second week to help the stem to grow

I have 2 questions: 1) Any idea whats happened with the one plant that has not flowered. Interestingly it was the plant I did not top and therefor should have been quicker to flower? 2) What point do I start flushing? Not convinced that i'll be able to harvest end of week 12?

Wilma may be a photoperiod plant. It can happen, but should be a very low percent chance if from quality breeders. 10 weeks in is fairly safe to call it... it'll double in size once you give it 12 hours of darkness each day before it stops growing, so you may want to prune it back if you will have constraints due to tent or growing area in general... too tall, too wide.. larger than light coverage are all possible. definitely don't go based on advertised flowering period... once buds look like normal buds, it'll be another 7-14 days?? You need a 30-60x magnier to see the trichomes. Flushing is an urban myth. the causalities given as to why you 'should' flush have all been proven bogus in studies. If you want to save a little mixing or money etc, that's fine too. This will depend on your prefered point in harvest window.. how much amber do you want? so, maybe when you see ~5% amber in most locations you inspect, you can give a healthy plant water from that point on and probably be fine. If the canopy is not so strong, you may want to rethink that. Not specifically about your current plants, but in general. You are also in soil, so giving some ph'd water for upto 10-14 days will give the fade you typically see.

Any tips for general pest control? (Other than chuck some ladybirds in there, I can't find any)

A little dawn soap in water, kills all bugs, smothers them. But I see plants that are overwatered. Let them dry an inch or 2 down between waterings. That's why there wilting your smothering your roots. Cheers
