Eljardindemargarita_grower Everything is good for now.

Eljardindemargarita_grower So far, everything's good. We're continuing with the follow-up. 8 days later, you can already see the little stretch they're making, considering we're only watering them with the DEEPER UNDERGROUND from TOP CROP, to give the roots a good settlement in their new spot. I should mention that to avoid stressing them more, we have a 250w energy-saving bulb on, so they don't get more stress than they already had.

Eljardindemargarita_grower We're continuing with the follow-up. 8 days later, you can already see the little stretch they're making, considering we're only watering them with the DEEPER UNDERGROUND from TOP CROP, to give the roots a good settling in their new place. Just to say, to avoid stressing them more, we have a 250w low consumption bulb on, so they don't get more stress than they already had.

Eljardindemargarita_grower We're continuing with the follow-up. Well, this is where we are after 1 week, switching to final pots, the 11 L ones. For the transplants, I always use MICROVITA mixed with the substrate, which works great, and water with Deeper UNDERGROUND, at a low dose, so the roots don't get too stressed, or at least that's what I think. At this point in the story, which would be the second week of growth, everything seems to be going quite well. We're already applying TOP VEG according to the chart in its second week. In the first week, I completed the chart with Barrier, and although it's not recommended indoors, for foliar application, I always use Green Explosion, which gives a great punch to all the foliage. Normally, I strictly follow the chart to keep things organized, plus I have a quadrant made by me with the relationship of pH and EC according to the weeks...

Eljardindemargarita_grower .we switched to 600w HPS You can already see the appearance of the much-appreciated "hairs" They've been in my indoor setup for a month, two weeks of rooting and another two growing. In this second week, we're applying top veg; in the second week, according to the chart, we're adding 3ml to every one and a half liters of water, which raises my EC to almost 1. I take into account that I water at 12 with 3 liters of water. I also add, once a week, Deeper Underground at 2ml per liter, to keep feeding the roots and ensure the root mass continues to grow in preparation for flowering. To kick this off, we start with the big one, foliar application, at 2ml per liter, to begin stimulating the cells responsible for flowering.

Eljardindemargarita_grower 3 cm of internodes, This week we increased the nutrients, we're now at 4ml per liter and a half, which raises the EC of the irrigation water to 1.1. The girls are absorbing more nutrients each time, we're still keeping the pH of the water at 6.0, until next week, until the change of photo period. Also, the MICROVITA, 5g per pot, directly into the substrate, then water it, just with the cal-mag adjustment to set it to 0.4. You can already see the effect of the big one, in no time it started showing the first "hairs," so it's almost there.

Eljardindemargarita_grower 1 Week of flowering. . This week what I do is continue with the fertilizer, just like I've been doing from the beginning with the entire TOP CROP range, using Top Veg at maximum, at 4ml per liter of water, which we previously adjusted to 0.4 EC, which would raise our irrigation water to almost 1.2. Knowing that halfway through this week we'll apply the BIG ONE again, this time in irrigation; 15 days ago I applied it foliarly. Once a week we keep adding Depeer underground, also at maximum, as food and to help the root mass. This week, even though it's 12/12 hours, I keep them with TOP VEG, as they are still absorbing and demanding more nitrogen for the stretch they're putting on. For the following week, I would start with Top Bloom, at the minimum.

Eljardindemargarita_grower 2 weeks into flowering. The long wait is finally over, and now the good stuff begins.... This week, according to the TOP CROP chart, I should apply Top Bloom at its minimum dose of 2ml per liter of water, which has been previously adjusted with cal-mag to 0.4, raising the EC to 1.2. pH adjusted to 6.2. Also, this week I should add Barrier at 0.5ml per liter of water. Maximum temperature of 28 degrees, minimum 20, at night.... Maximum humidity 60%, minimum 45%. Normally, with the lights on, it’s at 26 degrees, with extraction running full blast 24 hours and the intake resting for a quarter of an hour every hour. This week, you can really see it; all the flowers forming on each plant, the big one is making a tremendous impact, all the plants are loaded with little flowers forming.

Eljardindemargarita_grower 3 weeks into flowering. The fruits are starting to take shape. This week, according to the chart, we increased the Top Bloom to 3ml per liter in our watering water, which raises our EC to 1.3. The plants are eating more and you can really tell; after two days, the pots are almost dry. I’m still maintaining the Top Candy throughout this phase, following the same line as last week. Maximum temperature of 29 degrees, minimum of 21. Humidity at 60%, I don’t have a dehumidifier and I really suffer from this........ For the current grow, we have... Minimum humidity 50.

Eljardindemargarita_grower 4th week of flowering. Pre fattening. This week, according to the Top CROP chart, as I mentioned I'm following it to the letter, we continue with Top Bloom already at maximum at 4ml per liter of water, along with Top Candy, still at minimum, which we are trying to raise the EC to 1.4, and to feed the plants as much as possible to start fattening since next week we prepare for the fattening of the fruits. This week I also added 5g of Micro vita per pot, and then watered with normal water at a pH of 6.3, and an initial EC of 0.4.

Eljardindemargarita_grower 5th week of flowering We're starting to bulk up.... This week we began to supplement our watering with Top Bud, at a minimum, at 0.5ml per liter of water, previously adjusted to a pH of 6.4, to gradually increase. We continue with the base for flowering, Top Bloom, at a maximum of 4ml per liter of water. What I personally do is alternate watering: top bloom + top candy, then just water, then Top Bud + top candy, and little by little we increase the nutrient supply to our girls. This week, according to the chart, we would also add Barrier, at 0.5ml per liter. As for temperature, it's the same, max 28, with some peaks at 29 and minimums of 20 degrees. Humidity is normally 50%, with some peaks up to 60% and down to 40%... I don't have a dehumidifier, so I try to balance everything with the extraction and intake in my cabinet... It's a mess, really... Hahaha

Eljardindemargarita_grower 6th week of flowering. This week we watered with almost all the top CROP nutrients for flowering, Top Bloom, Top Candy, Top Bud, and Big One (which would be the last time, in this grow, for the formation and development of the last flowers). Alternating as always between plain water and water with nutrients. Top Bloom at a maximum of 4ml per liter of water + Top Candy at a maximum of 3ml per liter and a half of water at a pH of 6.5, and an EC in this case at 1.4... I don't want to saturate. Another watering this week with Top Bud at the maximum according to the chart + Top Candy, and if I always water with sugars...... And Big One at 2ml per liter of water... In total, 4 waterings per week. Maximum temperature of 29 degrees and minimum of 24, with the light on, off at 18, 19 degrees..... Humidity a bit high for this point in the grow, but since I don't have a dehumidifier, I have to pray..... (I didn't use preventive and had to deal with that) jsjwjwjjw 55% sometimes reaching 60%... For the current grow, I already disvongonde the... Also keep in mind that living very close to the sea, the relative humidity here is around 80 or 85% most days. The general state of the plants is beastly, they give off a spectacular aroma that makes you want to eat them, it's true that I should have pruned more but due to work issues, I was very tight on time.... And the final harvest showed it... In general, they are all in very good health, some taller than others... But for the attention I could give them, I honestly can't complain...

Eljardindemargarita_grower 7 Week flowering. As for the watering this week, we do exactly the same as the previous week, we water in blocks of three: top blom + top candy, top bud + top candy, big one + top candy, all the waterings separated by another watering of plain water. Top blomm, at maximum, 4ml per liter + 2ml of top candy. Top bud, also at maximum, 2ml per liter of water + top candy 2ml per liter. Big one 2ml per liter + top candy 2ml. Watered in total with 5 liters of water for the 12 girls. pH of 6.5, and the total EC these days is 1.6. As for temperature, it's normal, usually at 26 degrees with peaks of 29 degrees, and lows of 23. At night with the light off, usually 18. Humidity is a bit high, but these are the means I had available, with peaks at 60%, but normally around 50%, well readjusted the extraction and the supply of fresh air from outside... Relative humidity outside is 75. Regarding the general state, I can say that the plants are great, fat flowers, some more than others, quite branched, also thanks to my clumsiness and lack of time due to work issues, so it got a bit out of hand, but well, you learn from every experience. Very, very sweet smell and super sticky, central buds are very tight, not very fat but long.

Eljardindemargarita_grower Hey buddies We're in the 8th week of flowering. And these Cream Caramel from Sweet Seeds, .... It's almost over..... This week regarding watering, just water, to eliminate all the leftover nutrients in the substrate... Water at pH 6.5 and EC of 0.4. Maximum temperatures of 29 degrees and minimums of 24, during the light cycle, off between 18 degrees and 21. Maximum humidity of 55 and minimums of 40%, usually around 48%. I had tried this strain before outdoors with incredible results.... And I was eager to try them indoors and they haven't disappointed me... In the next and final post of this complete follow-up, I'll do a little evaluation of the tasting results and final weight... Cheers to everyone and happy growing!
