D19 (10/12/2020): Beginning of week 3. I saw little yellow/brown spot on big leaves and new leaves, I need to check this closely. I fed with half of the recommended dose but 1.5-1.75L of water per plant. I was giving 1L max and I think it was not enough for the size of my pots. RH of the grow tent is now down at 60%.
- temps: 26C
- water: PH6.3, PPM: 410
- RH: 60%
D20 (11/12/2020): Today I saw thrips larva crawling on a leaf (see video above). That confirm my problem is not a nutrients deficiency. I know how I got them and it's a rookie mistake from me. At the beginning of my grows, I placed a plant in my tent that was originally outdoor during fall. I did not think that it would be infested with bugs. I removed it when I saw a little bugs fly in my tent but the damage was probably already done. I read about thrips and you can get rid of them if you act fast and soon in the infestation. I will go to my local horticulture store today and ask advices and ways to exterminated them. I'm a newbie in growing cannabis (plants in general) and I want the best for my plants. I'm learning from my mistake and that's what I like! Overall, both plants are growing fast and they react really well to LST. I readjust the tie 2-3x a day because the small leaves are growing so fast!

D21 (12/12/2020): I bought insecticidal soap and gave a treatment. RH is now at 55% and that increases air flow.
-temp: 26C
- no water
- RH: 55%
D22 (13/12/2020): The lamp is now 100% and at 28inch form the plants. They received 430 PPFD (33 000 lux). Temperature is under control around 26C with a new oscillating fan place on the floor. This air flow will help against bugs. LST continue every day to expose new leaves. I gave water with only Max Minerals.
- temp: 26.5C
- water: PH6.4, PPM: 275, approx.: 1,75L per plant
- RH: 55%
D23 (14/12/2020): LST continue, I try to bend one branch every day and readjust the other ones. I did not see more bugs but some of the new leaves are affected so I know they are still there. I ordered nematodes to help me prevent new larvae. They are suppose to arrive in two days.
- temp: 26C
- no water
- RH: 55%
D24 (15/12/2020): I removed leaves at the bottom of the pants last night. Probably 3-4 leaves per plant that were not receiving light. This morning I can see that it gave a good boost on the new leaves! Continuing LST as usual. The nematodes arrived earlier then expected. I will apply them tonight as soon as the lights turn on!
- temp: 26C
- no water
- RH: 54%
D25 (16/12/2020): I did a lot today! First, I sprayed another treatment of insecticidal soap on all my plants. Second, I removed one inch of soil in each pot and replaced it with new soil (same soil). I saw sign of what I think is phosphate deficiency. I was really shy on nutrients since beginning of the grow. Third, I fed full recommended dose for week 3 of veg. I gave 1.5L of water with nutrients and approx. 0.5L of tap water when I placed the nematodes. Fourth, I placed one tea pouch of nematodes in each pot as recommended. I also opened 2 tea pouch of nematodes and sprinkled them over the soil of all plants. Finally, I continued LST. It was a big week of up and down. Both plants grew like crazy and I discover an infestation. I think Banana Kush is in pre flower but I'm not sure. It's a bit early but they got so much stressed this week.

@SalocinSpecial, yeah man dry herb vaporizer is way healthier, I got Davinci IQ 2 and I vape tooππ» Self grown buds and high end vaporizer is the way to goππ» Canβt wait to follow your next grow!ππ
@MedicalLover, Thank you! I'm really happy with my first harvest. I do not have the Mighty. I have the Utilian 722 and the Arizer extreme Q. I actually only smoke my flower with my vaporizers and it taste really good! I don't smoke my flower in joint anymore. Way better and healthier to vaporize your flower π This is the way! πͺπ
@Taito, hahaha yes you are right! I tried to grow different vegetables at the same time in my tent and the only one that thrive and still alive are tomatoes. They like the exact same environment condition so it's the perfect combination! And both cannabis and tomatoes plant will be ready to harvest at the same time, so lucky! Perfect timing for my first grow π π
