Day 3. I planned to make a SCROG out of 5 bushes, but 2 out of three shoots died stupidly. I suspect that they were damaged by insects, because I forgot to close the door to the box)))) Well, this is not a problem, 2-3 plants are enough for me. It's hard to say if I'm happy with the results, this is my first indoor grow in box.
Next week I plan to add carbon dioxide (CO2) to the box. I will write about this in detail when everything is ready and of course I will show the photos)
For ease of maintenance, it was decided to make a stand for the bags.
Day 5. On the 5th day there was no electricity at home, and the girls spent the whole day in the open air. At 6 pm they returned to box.
Day 6. I decided to discard the third sprout. He had no chance to catch up with his sisters.
Added substrate to fill grow bags to the brim.
Day 7. We close the first week. Tomorrow I will put on a fermentor for emitting carbon dioxide. I have already prepared an opaque 5-liter container and a tube in the lid.
Day8. The second week of growing season has begun. One girl is slightly behind in growth, but I think this is not a significant retention and soon they will equalize.
I put a fermentor for supplying carbon dioxide. To make it, I took a five-liter water bottle. At first I painted it black from a spray can to make the bottle opaque, but it didn't seem enough to me and I used foil (the container should be completely opaque). I poured 3 liters of solution into the bottle. I added 130 grams of sugar and 1 gram of yeast to a liter of water, for a total of 390 grams of sugar and 3 grams of yeast for three liters. If you believe the forums of aquarists, then such a walker should be enough for a week. That is, replacing the solution is required only once a week. Of course, this is far from a complete system for supplying carbon dioxide, as from a cylinder with valves and sensors, but this should also give certain results. Time will tell)
Day 11. Forgot to mention watering. I water it according to the following scheme: one day - a solution with fertilizers, the next day - clean water of the required ph.
The girls are already a little stronger. I have reduced the distance to the lamp by 5 cm. Now the distance is 55 cm.
Day 12. I'll watch for a couple more days and do topping. I have to redirect the growth to width before setting the grid for SCROG.
Day 14. I did the cropping (TOPPING) above the 4th floor of the leaves. I hope I did everything right)) I have never done this before. But if you believe the articles I found on Google, I'm on the right track. Time will tell... I want to start the third week by adding one more fermentor to release carbon dioxide.
Day 15. The third week of vegetative growth began. Replaced the solution in the fermentor. The second walker was too lazy to do today) I'll finish with it one of these days. New trainings await us this week, LST and Main-Lining.
Day 16. Today I washed the substrate. I didn't like the fact that the water started to turn yellowish. After rinsing, the water began to flow out again clean.
In a few days I will add CaliMagic.
Day 17. After a severe hurricane in our city, I have no electricity at home. I took the girls outside. Hopefully this doesn't put them under a lot of stress ... After all, their daylight hours decreased after the usual schedule of 18/6 ...
p.s. Electricity appeared at 18-00. It was still light outside. I think the girls did not have time to get stressed.
Day 19. Added «Floración plus” to fertilizers.
Day21. The supplement «CaliMagic” has not yet been delivered to me. But I think that there is still time, I do not see any signs of deficit.
Day 22. The training has begun. You can see in the photo. (LST, MainLining). A small crack appeared in the place of the bend on one stake ... She does not look coy, I think the girl can quickly cure it.
Day 23. I realized that I started training early ... I had to wait a few more days, but in general nothing terrible happened. Today I strengthened the deflections a little, because cracks appeared in the place where the branch departs from the main stem, which became a little larger when I tried to bend a little more.
Day 24. Today I bent the branches again.
Day 27. Today I washed the substrate and then poured it with "compote".
Day 28. Despite my mistakes when training girls, I am generally satisfied with the result. Another two or three days and I think that I will set the grid for SCROG.
P.s. A characteristic pleasant smell appeared in the box)
Day 29. I updated the solution in the fermentor. Bent down the branches. Poured with clean water without fertilizers.
Day 30. I pruned all 4 colas on each plant to double the colas. I hope I did everything right) Poured water with fertilizers.
Day 31. Watering with clean water without fertilizers. LST.
Day 32. I installed a SCROG net. The distance from the substrate surface to the mesh is 20 cm (on the first plant) and almost 25 cm (on the second plant). The cell size is almost 5 cm. I made a net from an old volleyball net..
Day 33. Watering with fertilizers
Day 34. Watering with clean water. The girls still haven't recovered from the second TOPping... I think it will take them another week, maybe a week and a half, to fully recover from severe stress.
Day 35. No watering.
I want to continue training according to the "topping" method, but I have a question ... Tell me, please, who knows. I want to prune all 4 colas on each plant to bifurcate them. Can I do this one day? Or should it be done intermittently?
Hello! Watch some videos on YouTube. You basically cut the main cola between the two newest growths. It better to wait until 4-5 nodes. I’ve done multiple toppings, but it lessens yield—- unless you are growing outdoors... better to do one main topping at around week 4, veg it for 1-2 more weeks and flip!
Today, for the first time, I discovered on my plants (on the leaves) something like clumps of white cobweb .... What could it be? And how to deal with it?
The question is experienced. Today I cut all 4 colas into two of my plants to bifurcate them. I have read many articles and watched many YouTube videos, but there is no definitive information. Will this increase yields and help fill the skrog net? Or was it not worth it?

To me it looks like damage caused by the leaf rubbing against your frame when the fan is blowing on the plant, and nothing to be concerned over. Is it only 1 leaf or is it everywhere? If it is everywhere, then that is a different issue. After looking at your diary, it doesn't appear to be anywhere else. You may be expecting too much of your plant; no plant will grow 100% perfect leaves 100% of the time. Your plant is a living organic being and not a robotic mass produced perfect machine!
Two other observations from looking at your diary - 1) I hope your ties are elastic or have the ability to stretch. Tying knots around your branches with inelastic or rigid tie material (like wire/pipe cleaners/string) can strangle the branch as it grows, as branches not only get longer, but thicker too. Far better to tie a loop around your branches, starting with an anchor point, over the branch and then back to the anchor point, to then tie off with a knot there. - and 2) in my recommendation, try only removing old, yellow leaves. Those big, green, healthy leaves are producing the vital energy needed by your plant to grow her biggest and best flowers. Those leaves also act as a "storage" site for carbs, sugars, amino acids etc that your plant will draw upon during flowering. This is why the older leaves will go yellow during flowering, even though nutrition and health are ideal. It is far more efficient for your plant to re-use those elements than to create them from new during a high energy activity such as flowering. Those "bud sites" that people are worried about as being shaded, are relying on those big, green, healthy leaves to produce the energy that the flowers need to grow. Fewer healthy, green leaves = less energy produced = less stored reserves of vital grow elements = slower and smaller growth. It is that simple. By removing healthy green leaves, people are forcing the plant to grow new healthy green leaves to increase energy production levels again and to re-manufacture carbs, sugars, amino acids etc that the plant had cleverly stored in those big, healthy, green leaves, all over again. This takes a lot of energy, energy that could otherwise be going into flower growth. After growing cannabis for 35+ years, I am yet to see even one plant that gets rid of its own healthy green leaves for no apparent reason. Cannabis has been evolving for 100s of thousands of years to become the peak of perfection that it is, Her main/only goal is to breed. This requires the best flower growth possible. It does not involve getting rid of energy producing, vital element storing, healthy green leaves. Sorry, but I feel better now that I have had my daily rant about the pointlessness of de-leafing. I think I better go and have a lie down. Again, sorry for ranting.
I hope this helps you, or someone else reading this, in some way..... Organoman.

I cannot objectively say how good this genetics is, because many mistakes were made during the cultivation and flowering period. The smell is really cool, few varieties with a similar smell. Hints of nut are caught in the aroma. In terms of effects and strength, I'm happy. I already tried a little without waiting for curing))
