D40 (31/12/2020): Second week of flower and everything is good! They are still stretching a lot. I'm not continuing LST with ties but just by tucking and banding stems and leaves. I will continue to slowly remove leaves and small bud site under canopy that will never receive enough light. The higher buds receive around 520 and 600 PPFD (40 000 to 46 000 lux) for a DLI (for 20 hours of continuous light) around 37,44 and 43,2 moles of photons which is perfect. This Glue Gelato phenotype is weird as it grows weird leaf structure since a couple of weeks. Probably since I discovers a nutrient lock in the soil with too much nutrients. Banana Kush is super healthy and look amazing! π
- temp: 25C
- no water
- RH: 56%
D41 (01/01/2021): They are stretching like crazy so it's a sign of good health! I fed with nutrients 3/4 of the recommended dose for transition week. I gave more then a gallon approx. 4L per plant. I did remove leaves today but no bending. I want to let them grow in height.
- temp: 25 C
- water: PH6.3, 820 PPM approx. 4L each plant
- run off: PH6.7, 1150PPM for BK ; PH6.8, 1120 PPM for GG
- RH: 54%
D42 (02/01/2021): Nothing special today. I try to turn the plant 180 degree each day to make sure fan is blowing air on every side of the pot and plant and to make sure light is distributed evenly. I also swap the two plants every 2-3 days to make sure again that the plants receive light equally. I continue removing leaves and small buds site under canopy.
- temp: 25 C
- no water
- RH: 54%
D43 (03/01/2021): The lights are now at 16 inch from the top buds and just 12h later I saw a big difference. They are now ready to receive intense light π. They receive approx. 650 to 780 PPFD and even 900 PPFD for the top buds (50 000 to 60 000 lux, and even 70 000 lux). I will check closely in the next days to make sure the buds and leaves are not burning. I fed only Max Minerals full recommended dose for transition week. I gave more then a gallon approx. 4L per plant. I placed a round stake in each pot for when the buds will be heavy.
- temp: 25 C
- water: PH6.3, 460 PPM approx. 4L each plant
- run off: PH6.8, 1550PPM for BK ; PH6.9, 1480 PPM for GG
- RH: 55%
D44 (04/01/2021): Nothing new today.
*** UPDATE ON BUGS: I did not see any more larvae since last week. It's the 3rd week since adding nematodes and after adding 2 pouch per plant, doing 2 insecticidal soap treatment and removing 1 inch of soil, I feel like I did control the infestation. I still see some mature fungus gnats on sticky traps but nothing alarming. Increasing air flow and reducing RH also helped a lot for those bugs.

- RH: 55%
D45 (05/01/2021): Nothing special today. I let them grow without new LST. I did not removed leaves since a couple of days. They are growing in height and that's what I want. I might do a defoliation in beginning of week 7 (or week 3 of flowering). I want to reduce RH in the tent under 50%. When the lamps are off, I have a lot of difficulties to maintain a proper RH for flowering stage. During night, it is around 57% with the 4 inch AC Infinity inline fan blowing full speed. RH in the room where the tent is is around 35%-40%. With 5 plants in the tent (2 cannabis, 2 tomatoes and 1 mint) it will be more difficult to control RH in the next week with flower and fruit growing bigger. I ordered a small dehumidifier on Amazon to help me reduce the RH.
- temp: 25 C

- RH: 53%
D46 (06/01/2021): I fed today half of the recommended dose for transition week. The PPM of the run off from last fed was high so I want to cut a bit on nutrients. The run off of both plant is down under 900PPM which is what I wanted π
-temp: 25 C
- water: PH6.3, 480 PPM, approx. 3.5L each plant

@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
