I 4 Moschettieri

Fonzy21 As you can see, the plants are already in their final pots. Unfortunately, I don't have any material to document the transplanting because I decided to start my diary after I had already begun, so I didn't have a chance to photograph the various processes. I hope you at least like the result; the plants that sprouted on the 17th are now 11 days old, and for the first time, I've never had plants this big after just 10 days—it's incredible!

Fonzy21 Hey fellow growers, I'm into the second week, the plants are growing evenly and quickly, I've already reached the fourth internode. I think this is the week before topping.. I'll cut the apex of each plant as the first step, then do some supercropping and put up the net for SCROG.. I hope time can pass as quickly as possible.. Stay hungry Stay tuned!

Fonzy21 On the 10th day, I cut the top of all four plants at the sixth internode. I also removed the first two internodes so I could work on the third, fourth, and fifth internodes. The plants are growing quite well overall; now they are on the fourteenth day, and I notice a slight slowdown due to the stress from the top cut. I'm only having a small issue with one of the four plants, the Russian Doll from Kannobia, which I obviously hope to fix as soon as possible.

Fonzy21 The Russian Doll seems to have recovered, the progression of the burns has stopped. The other plants are moving at the speed of light. However, the Gorilla Girl from Sweet Seeds seems to be having a deficiency; I’ll have to try to fix that. I'm definitely not giving up... in 6 days I'll do the crop and install the net.

Fonzy21 Finally, I've reached the last week of vegetation. Tomorrow we'll proceed with supercropping.. I'll bend all the branches at 90° and install a net about 5/7 cm above. I'll do my best to make my SCROG grow as evenly as possible.. The plants have recovered really well, they had a bit of suffering but I acted immediately... I'm very satisfied with the progress..

Fonzy21 This week has been very intense since I had to do some supercropping and install the net for the scrog. I'll let you judge my work, feel free to ask me any questions if you have them, I’ll be happy to answer. See you next week!

Fonzy21 The plants are recovering very well, they are overcoming the stress from the crop and continue to grow lushly.

Fonzy21 As you can see from the photos, I installed an automatic irrigation system to make watering the girls easier.. I find it very convenient, my back thanks me

Fonzy21 Arrived at day 21, I decided to apply the schwazzing technique. Schwazzing is a term used to describe a very aggressive defoliation. The process involves removing a large number of big leaves from a plant to expose the sites where the buds will develop to much more light. Schwazzing is typically applied twice during a plant's growth cycle. The first time occurs just before the start of the flowering phase. The grower will need to remove most of the larger leaves from the plants, leaving them almost completely bare. Although it may seem excessive and harmful, some argue that it pays off significantly at harvest time. The photoperiod will then be changed to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness to induce the flowering phase of the growth cycle. By removing a large amount of leaves, you will expose more sites to light where the flowers will develop, which would otherwise have remained shaded by the leaf cover. Schwazzing is then repeated a second time 20 days after the start of the flowering phase, which corresponds to about ⅓ of the way to full maturation of the buds. During this period, the new fan leaves will have regrown and will have started to form a shading cover, preventing light from directly stimulating the inflorescences.

Fonzy21 The girls have bounced back great after practicing the schwazzing technique. Now I’m starting to pump them properly to make the flowers swell even more. Every time I open my box, a whirlwind of smells comes out.. I’m really happy with the result!

Fonzy21 This week I noticed that the girls were having a potassium deficiency, so I tried to increase the doses of fertilizer a bit to help them out, and it seems like everything is going pretty well overall..

Fonzy21 The maturation of the Flowers continues, which is a wonder. The Critical 2.0 from Dinafem has already started the aging process, with the leaves turning yellow, while the Peyote Critical from Barney's Farm remains a healthy and vigorous green. The Russian Doll and Gorilla Girl are doing very well...

Fonzy21 At this point, the girls start to emit a smell that you can't even imagine; you can smell all the flavors of all the plants in the air, it's a sight to behold. I'm very happy with how the harvest is going.

Fonzy21 I'm monitoring the maturation of the trichomes; according to the chart, the Critical 2.0 and Peyote Critical should be ready in 60 days, but I think it will take at least 10-15 more days.
