This plants were growing in a mix of soil and vermiculite. However, it seems that the high amount of vermiculite affected negatively the plants until week 6 where the plants were transplanted to two different soil mix. The mix that I used since week 6 were: Mix of bat guano: 3 parts of coco coir, 2 parts of soil, 1 part of earthworm castings, 1 part of perlite and 200 grams of bat guano Mix with mycorrhizae: 3 parts of coco coir, 2 parts of soil, 1 part of earthworm castings, 1 part of perlite and 200 grams of mycorrhizae.

The plants were transplanted to a better soil mix since the last blend seemed to affected the growth of the plants. Since this transplant, the plants begin to growth very nice, without any issue (except for the white widow). Mix of bat guano: 3 parts of coco coir, 2 parts of soil, 1 part of earthworm castings, 1 part of perlite and 200 grams of bat guano Mix with mycorrhizae: 3 parts of coco coir, 2 parts of soil, 1 part of earthworm castings, 1 part of perlite and 200 grams of mycorrhizae.

Until now, the white widow has been stressed since the last 4 weeks. Could be the high temperatures that sometimes emerge. The Cbd therapy seems to like the interaction with the mycorrhizae. The jack herrer and the remaining cbd therapy plants are fine. The one in the sun have been flowering since the last week, but the others at indoor aren´t showing any signs of flowering. Hope next week they begin to flower. So far, I have not feeding any of the ladies. Maybe within next two weeks will ad some home-made prepared bat guano extract.

This white widow seems to be stressed since 4 weeks ago. Sometimes my room temperature is 30 C°, but in general is 27-28 C°. Could be those temperatures or a bad interaction between mycorrhizae and the plant? I´ve a cbd therapy with the same ammount of mycorrhizae and she´s ok.

Thanks for your answer Horsemouth. In fact, this girl is the one that is furthest from the lamp. She is 65 cm far from the lamp and the remaining plants are 40 cm far from the lamp.

thats too much light. rise your lamp. when the top leaves curl up, the edges curl up too (i see that in your pictures) and get so clear means there s too much light. 30 C° are not a problem with the right rh. cheers

Still the same. The flowering of the indoor ladies seems to be very slowly. Don´t know if temperature its playing a key role here, but the next week will be the four week since the light cycle was changed to 11/13. Except for the white widow, the remaining plants seems to be healthy. During this week I fed these plants for the first time. Considering that the soil is retaining a lot of moisture, I have to water them every 4-5 days, so probably wont fed them till the next two weeks.

Exactly one month ago I shifted the light cycle to 11/13 and flowering is taking so much time in my plants. Could be high temperatures? Could be related to the fact that the light was on during the night? I have recently changed to 12/12 and the lamp is on during the day. Thanks!

when you say on during the night... do you just mean you run your light cycle at night and dark cycle during day? that's fine, if so. Now, if you switched from night to day and gave more light instead of more uninetrrupted darkness, that could potentially cause a major delay of the intitial hormonal balance shift. (caused by uninterrupted darkness in excess of 10 hours or more.. any interruption can potentially counteract any number of hours less than 10.. fuck up entire balance and therefore vege growth will continue longer than normal or worse.. re-vege occurs if later on..) basically if the light cycle every gets funked up in bloom -- always, always give it extra darkness while getting back on track. while it may not be optimal for growth or bud development, it will guarantee you don't screw up the hormonal balance any further. Seems a while. Some are slower than others. From the looks, i'd wager within ~7 days you'll have the tufts of stigmata at all terminal nodes and it'll be a few more weeks before it expands. This may be a slow plant. The temperature and other environmental factors can impact bud densisty and such, but unlikely extreme enough to stop or delay bloom. if anything stresses should cause it to freak out and try harder to reproduce -- including the trait to self-pollinate. As long as it's not perpetually a problem, again, i wouldn't worry too much.

Still waiting for these ladies to flower nice; however, it seems that these plants, for some reason, are taking too much to begin the pistils explotion. Hope next week a huge change occurs with them. Considering that I haven´t do anything regarding pest control to the one at the sun, I´m happy with her growth. Hope her buds can get fat very soon.

Normal week for these plants. Overall, they have been flowering normally. Last week I saw some yellowing on the lower leaves, so I fed them with liquid earthworm casting humus. However, the dark green on the leaves, the tips burned and leaves curled down suggests a nitrogen excess. Thus, I will give them a small rainwater flush and next week I´ll be feeding them only with P and K.

Nice week for these plants. They have one month in flowering, so probably they will have another month of fattening. Since now I will feed them with full PK from a bat guano humic extract that I prepared, and give them a little dose of liquid earthworms humus.

Girls are fattening as expected. EC and ph runoffs are within the correct values. This week was a feeding one, so next week I will provide rainwater to them.

Normal week for these plants. So far, they have been fattening very nice and probably need 2 or 3 weeks more before chop them. CBD therapy with myco seems to have a nitrogen deficiency that was treated with a little bit more of earthworm castings liquid humus.

Normal week for these plants. So far, buds Fattening is not what I have been expecting for, probably because there is too much heat inside the room and the led light wattage is low for 4 plants. Trichomes are telling me that harvest time is coming, so I´ll probably harvest them in 7-10 days.
