Day 1: She sprouted completely today, she´s very tiny, more than I ever saw a seedling to be lol, but looking healthy tho. Day 5: So, today I´ll be out traveling for 5 days and I´ll let a friend of mine keeping an eye on her. So far, looking good! A little light burn but I expected that to happen.. Also took out the zip bag that was helping with humidity levels.

D9: I keep on watering her on a small circle around her in order to get the root system ready to boost with the Root-Juice – which I´ll be starting next week -, that´s all I can do for now. D10: Looking a little more droopy than I expected, idk if it´s overwatering. It might be from watering in just a tiny circle too. Might as well just start with the root juice as soon as she hits the 5th- or 6th node. D11: Watered with 2L of 6.1 ph water with 1ml/L of Root-Juice. The watering was made all around the soil in order to promote root boost. D12: She doesn´t have stressed much with the early root-juice! D14: Today I topped her, she had 5 nodes already. I topped from the 3rd node up and removed the 1st node completely, leaving the 2nd and 3rd node only.

D15: She showed no signs of stress from the topping at all, furthermore, she even grew overnight like nothing happened! This one is promising… D16: Unlike yesterday, she hasn´t grown any. Strange. And the leaves are a little rugged but not anything to worry about. D17: Watered 3L of 6.1 ph water with 0,5ml/L of Fish-Mix, 0,5ml/L of Bio-Heaven and 1ml of Root-Juice. D18: Started the LST with very little pressure on the top nodes. Not sure yet if I´m mainlining for 8 colas or 16. D19: Topped her 4 branches today, let´s see how she handles it. Almost broke a node but I stopped forcing soon enough and it just made a little hole, I guess she´ll recover from it with little to no stress. D20: Everything´s fine, she seems healthy, but today when the lights turned on, there was water droplets all over the leaves, I have no clue what´s that, but it might related to humidity and temps, strangely it occurred only to this one girl. Also place a wire to support one of the topped stems that is very very fragile and wants to break off. D21: Leaves are getting a little twisted and I don´t know why, it must be the high humidity levels.. I just can´t control it with simple and cheap ways, I guess next month I´ll need to buy a dehumidifier.. Otherwise, the leaves are very dark green so I might stop with the feeding for some time but they are very thick and big, which is a little pain but a very good indicator! Ah, and the topped stem that is fragile is getting stronger again!

D22: I´ve put a wire support on the weak stem to support her and help her get stronger, I´m getting a little worried for the health of that stem.. Also saw some pistils showing up already! Very fast pre-flower. The silver tape I put to help I took off as I noticed it had no efficacy. D23: The branch that almost snapped off is still really fragile. D24: In order to try and fix the branch I taped her with silver tape, leaving a little space for growth but tight enough so she stays in place. D25: It made me feel sad for taking out those beautiful big fan leaves but I watched them closely and found some weird powdery mildew like type shit and decided to take it out, not only because of it but for airflow sake as well. The temperature gets really low and humidity high when the lights are off, I have a nice ventilation 24/7 but still it´s pretty bad circumstances for the girls… Watered with 0.25ml/L of cal-mag, 5g of Diatomaceous Earth to help with the fungus and overall plant protection and 1ml of Bio-Heaven. Ph was a little high for this watering but that´s diatomaceous earth.. ph doesn´t go lower than 6.7. Also, another sad news is that I gave up on mainlining her, the top that was weak still hasn´t healed and today when I tried to LST the second stem of the main topped one, it almost snapped, a little more pressure for 1 second longer and it would have broke for sure. I took out some nodes as well. D26: The stem that was damaged doesn´t seem to recover.. other branches are looking good and growing well. D27: Well, the broken branch leaves are still looking bad, although the nodes stems are growing, slower, but growing. There are some brown spots appearing on the middle of one leaf and in tips of some others, now I´m getting really worried that it might be rust (another plant has something that I still don´t know exactly what is but it can be rust fungus), but it can be a nutrient lockout too. D28: Today she started showing some brown spots on one leaf and several brown tips in others. So I thought it wasn´t a deficiency since last time I watered she had plenty of stuff. So I just watered her with 6.4 ph plain dechlorofied water until about 15% runoff, which was at 5.9. If she continues developing the marks, then it´s either deficiency or something bad. Also rearranged her LST and she is looking very good and already has pre-flower pistils!

D29: Did some LST to her and defoliated 4 bottom fan leaves. D30: Watered her untill 5% runoff with 1/10th of the Bio-Bizz recommended dosage, except for Bio-Heaven that was 1/4th: in 3,5L of water, 0.2ml/L of Bio-Grow, 0.2ml/L of Bio-Bloom, 0.1ml/L of Top-Max and 0.5ml/L of Bio-Heaven. I´ll stop using the ATA Cal-Mag since it has 5.8% Nitrogen, which completely breaks the Bio-Bizz line balance. I´ll start experimenting with low dosages of the recommended schedule, since it has all the macro and micro-nutrients an auto needs if you add it all up. D31: She is looking good and is totally in pre-flower, pistils are showing up a lot more! Today arrived my new oscilating fan and another exhaust fan to intake air so I can close the passive intakes. D33: Looking great! Tomorrow I´ll have to do some LST and maybe a little defoliation, or wait a week more until she gets almost into flowering. D34: Today I did a little defoliation of the bottom leaves and rearranged her LST. She is looking incredibly beautiful, way more than I expected. The leaves are very thick and large. D35: Watered with 6.4ph water with 1ml/L of Bio-Heaven. Leaves are looking a little thin and new growth twisting, not sure if its from underwatering but I´ll keep an eye on her.

D36 She was starting to show some cal/mag deficiencies and it wasn´t any lockout since she received a flush, so I gave her 2,5L of water with 0,4ml/L of Bio-Grow, 0,4ml/L of Bio-Bloom, 0,2ml/L of Top-Max and 0,4ml/L of ATA Cal-Mag ( yeah I sayd I wouldn´t use this anymore but it´s all I have with heavy cal-mag % ). She got her leaves up after some hours and don´t seem to have gotten worse, let´s see if she gets a little better by tomorrow. D37 As the leaves didn´t get better and the soil was quite dry today I watered her with 6.2 pH to try and fix a possible zinc defiency. If it doesn´t get better it probably is cold or salts then it must be ph. Runoff was 6.1 so it should be ok. Otherwise, she´s growing well! D38 She hasn´t gotten any better but at least isn´t worse. I think the problem might be related to cold temperatures, either on roots or at the lights off period. D40 Well, yesterday I took no pictures but she´s looking the same… yellowish new growth, spreading little by little. I´m not sure what it is, but it´s not under nor overfeeding, so it must be the sudden change of teperatures at the lights off period, going from 25 C° to 14 C° in about 30 minutes… That is probably the cause of all this weird ~~deficiencies~~, so in that regard, I switched the lights to 20/4 as a last resource. They are starting to fatten up even with all the circumstances. D41 Looking ok. Today I watered her with 6.2 pH water, with 0.7ml/L of Alg-a-Mic. Let´s if it helps her rejuvenate a little. Also defoliated some bottom leaves. D42 The bottom leaves seem to be getting more yellow. Not sure about the brown spots, but she seems just like the same, even tho she´s not getting worse the same speed, she´s still not good. Now that I solved both humidity and temperature ( they´ve been both stable since the change in schedule, although thumidity is still a little higher than I wanted it to be ), the problem cam be just one: water. The roots are probably suffocating, the water gets in the soil for waaaaay too long, I need to start watering less….

D43 She´s looking good, still getting a little worse by the days but the best thing I can do is to wait for the roots to dry up and see if she gets better. Stems and some leaves getting a little purplish color, it might be from deficiencies but there´s nothing I can do except to pray for it to be normal haha. D44 Looking better. Still developing some minor dificencies but so far so good given the circumstances. A little purple developing on the leaves. Today arrived my dehumidifier for the late bloom 😊 D45 As she was already completely dry, I watered her with 0,5ml/L of ATA Calmag, 0,5ml/L of Top-Max, 1,5ml/L of Bio-Bloom and 1ml/L of Bio-Heaven. Let´s see if it´ll help her or make it worse. D46 Looking good! Finally! I don´t have anything else to say, just to feel lighter. D47 Well, today I saw some light brown marks developing, as well as the bottom leaves not just turning yellow but burning at the tips. She´s dry already so I´ll be watering her with 1,5ml/L of Bio-Bloom, 1ml/L of Top-Max, 0,5ml/L of Bio-Grow and 1ml/L of Sensizyme (new one to the grow, let´s see how it goes). D48 The brown marks seem to have stopped. D49 She seems to be developing some yellow on the leaves, still she has water so tomorrow I´ll see if I really need to do something about it. Otherwise, she has entered full flowering now.

D50 She´s showing some weird bronze marks now and I noticed she has no water at all. Watered with 1,5ml/L of Bio-Bloom, 1ml/L of Top-Max and 1ml/L of Bio-Heaven at 6.2 ph. D51 The bronze Marks didn´t get better, I´m afraid it´s calcium cause I don´t have any organic Calcium, only mineral but I guess that´ll need to do. Watered with 0.5ml/L of ATA Cal-Mag at 6.4 and the runoff was 6.4 too. D52 The marks seem to have stopped but she got way worse than I had seen… well, there´s not much I can do now, it´s done. I need to keep a closer eye on her, at least she is drinking a lot and that´s good for me. D53 Soil got dry, watered with 1.5L of water with 0,5ml/L of ATA Cal-Mag, 1ml/L of Sensizym, 1ml/L of Top-Max, 1ml/L of Bio-Grow and 1ml/L of Bio-Bloom. D55 Watered 1L tap water with 0,5ml/L of my new organic (thankfully) BioBizz Cal-Mag, 1ml/L of Top-Max, 1ml/L of Bio-Heaven and 1.5ml/L of Bio-Bloom. D56 Looking great, finally I chilled out and figured how to handle her. Lately I feel like I´ve been thinking a lot about what to do with my plants and in fact the most important thing is what no to do. Just chill and let my girls do their job.

D57 Watered with a little of tap water. D58 Watered with 1.5ml/L of Sensizym, 2ml/L of Top-Max, 1.5ml/L of Bio-Grow and 1.5ml/L of Bio-Bloom, 1ml/L of Alg-a-mic, 1.5ml/L of Bio-Heaven. Will be flushing her soon. D60 She fattened up good, still getting fatter everyday. She´s been drinking a lot and using all the nutrients I give her. Today I watered lightly with 1ml/L of Alg-a-mic and 1ml/L of Calmag. D62 She´s getting big! Watered with 2ml/L of Top-Max, 0,25ml/L of Calmag, 0.5ml/L of Bio-Grow, 1ml/L of Bio-Bloom, 1ml/L of Bio-Heaven and 1ml/L of Sensizym, phd at 6.4, runoff was 6.3. I feel so relieved now that she finally stopped with all the deficiencies. -/- She grew exceptionally this week. Planning to flush her tomorrow, on her first day of week 10. Thanks for reading! Stay safe ✌️
