Hippie Therapy CBD - Exotic Seed

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm everything is fine. With the RoyalMix, just watering with water until I leave. D6, she's doing very well, no particular demands. Nothing to say.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm The Hippie Therapy is developing perfectly well in this substrate. I'll keep an eye on it though, because I've noticed some oxidation spots on the lower leaves and their serration. Spots caused by the reflection of light on water droplets or the beginnings of a real issue; I'm not very sure at the moment.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Day 17, She has taken well over the last few days, so now it's time for the Hippie Therapy to move on to the first stage of main-lining. FIRST STAGE OF MAIN-LINING Step 1: Topping: cut above the node you want to keep, preferably a well-formed node with branch shoots having at least 1 or 2 nodes. I trim just above the N3 where the branches are currently forming their 2nd node. Step 2: Cleaning the lower nodes: at this stage, you can already see better what you're doing. Get rid of the lower nodes, leaves, and branches; you will then have a plant that only has the complete N3 left. Step 3: Start of LST: For now, the LST remains very basic. Just guide the branches by tying them to the petioles of the leaves; this will help spread the branches, allowing them to better catch the light and prepare for the next steps of LST. A few days later, you can start stretching the branches out to each side, using wire and clips that you will pass under the last nodes that appeared. You will end up with a plant that has two branches extending in opposite directions.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Day 23, I started to gently lay her down by pulling on the wires. Day 24, she's consuming too much phosphorus, I'm going to have to add some nutrients. Day 25, it's time for the feeding. I'm going with MONKEY NUTRIENTS; I'm going to start in week 1 of the program. I'm still in Royal Mix from PLAGRON which is already fertilized, so watch out for LOCK. I need to be careful because she's showing a bit of nitrogen over-fertilization with 2/3 tips pointing down. I'll probably give her 1 feeding out of 2, with a watering at 50/33 through to avoid too much nitrogen. Day 28, 2nd STAGE OF MAIN-LINING (it's the same in colors) STEP 1: Topping on the branches. Just like in the first step, you select the node you want to keep; once again, choose a node with strong branches (at least 2 formed nodes). Then, you cut clean and neat above this node. You repeat this on the second branch. STEP 2: Defoliation of the nodes. You end up with 2 main branches each having only one complete node. On each main branch, there is a node, where there are two secondary branches and two leaves. You just need to remove these 4 leaves located at the base of the branches. Finish with a not too heavy watering, and we're good for the end of this 4th week of VEG.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Day 31, a little application of LST on the new main branches. I laid them down by pulling them with wires and clips on each side, just like I did in the first step. She's responding well to her new feeding, the color of the leaves is already much more uniform.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm I continued my LST and defoliation over the past week. I then kept up with the watering, but a little nitrogen over-fertilization is starting to show while she's still asking for phosphorus and potassium (lightly). I'm going to give her a clear water watering, just added with PK 50/33 to buffer until the beauty recovers.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Lamp: TSW-2000 MARS HYDRO After two waterings with only PK 50/33 added, the tips of the leaves are no longer pointing down. I'm going to start giving it some Monkey Nuts gently again. Day 53, defoliated a few sensors to make room for the center branches and lighten the plants a bit. The four TOPs of the main-lining are showing some pre-flowers and are stretching despite the 18/6. My two CBD plants are the same, both are pushing for some reason that I totally don't understand. So whether it's recessive genes or a flaw in my setup, I don't know. (Considering these are two different strains from two different banks, I suspect it's more of a setup flaw causing my CBD to flower prematurely.) Anyway, they will stay under 18/6 for now until the two little ones are ready. Given the pre-flowers, I'm going to switch to flowering nutrients.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Having declared it under 18h, I spent it on bloom fertilizer combined with PK- 50/33. The high demand for P and K is explained by the fact that it is preparing for its flowering. It should regain its colors in a few waterings. LIGHT: TSW-2000 MARS HYDRO

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Slight defoliation for the light on the lower branches. It's regaining some color. D69: start of the big stretch there are still some big leaves that are clearly marked by the phosphorus and potassium deficiency (very slight) Light: TSW-2000 MARS HYDRO Feed: MONKEY NUTRIENTS

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Day 77, I made a small addition of biobloom from Green House Feeding, which I scratched at the base to improve the ongoing P and K issue. The leaves are slowly returning to their green color. Just a few more days until full flowering. Light: TSW-2000 MARSHYDRO Feed: MONKEY NUTRIENTS MASTER GROWER

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Here they are, the first flowers are starting to show their faces. So, I was able to clean up the lower branches and the small branches that wouldn't catch the light and would just be a nuisance; the top will gain much more vigor to produce me some nice, plump flowers.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Light: TSW-2000 @marshydro Substrate: RoyalMix @plagron feed: @monkeynutrients

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm It works quietly at its own pace. I will keep her at this fattening while the flowers take a little more. A layer of trichomes begins to appear on the leaves around the buds and it smells very strong when barely touching it. Light: TSW-2000 @marshydro Feed: @monkeynutrients

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Light defoliation for light and tying down the branches because they were stretching too much. Added the PK 14/15 @monkeynutrients Light: TSW-2000 @marshydro Feed: @monkeynutrients

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm All is well for the Hippie Therapy who is starting to have quite a lot of milky trichomes. I'm finishing the @monkeynutrients program and rinsing for the beautiful in just over a week. Light: TSW-2000 @marshydro Feed: @monkeynutrients

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm It's been 1 week since she's been in clear water. We're the day after the photos, and I put her in the dark for two to three days; then it will be over for the lady. I'm going to hang her on Wednesday... She's going to give me some really fine buds, but they're going to pack a punch. I had the chance to do a smoke test on a broken branch, and she's going to hit hard for a 1:1. See you for the final smoke test.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm As I mentioned earlier, I harvested about 120g with the Hippie Therapy, but not without some trouble. From the 4th week of VEG, she started asking for Phosphorus, then Potassium the following week. Then came the FLO, which didn't help the situation. I kept giving and giving, but she always wanted more, yet in the end, I finished with some really good quality sativa-dominant weed. Other than that, no problems. I didn't have any pest infestations or any diseases throughout the run. Still, she's a plant I wouldn't recommend to younger growers. Lighting: TSW-2000 @marshydro Nutrients: Monkey Nutrients
