Vanilla Kush y Afghan Skunk

ElTelmo In this new grow, I've switched to the BIO fertilizer from Green House Seeds, Power Feeding. It's very simple to use, you mix it with the substrate and it gradually releases over 6 weeks, which is ideal for the growth stage. You just need to add quality water (in this case, osmosis) and let it do its thing. It saves me from measuring, weighing, and complicated dosages. It's amazing. For this grow, I've also set up 4 pots since I want to shorten the vegetation stage as much as possible because summer is coming and it gets really hot here where I live, and this will be the last grow before the summer break. I'm also debating whether to let the plants grow naturally without techniques or to do some topping. We'll see how they grow. For now, they just need to grow healthy and with the right amount of water. Extraction is always on but without a fan.

ElTelmo The plants are growing at a very good pace, I try to moisten the substrate just right since they are still very small. There's nothing to do but wait, make sure they have enough water but not too much.

ElTelmo Week of watching them grow and not much more. The pace they've been having is very good. The watering I'm giving them is minimal and the response I've been getting is great. There's one of the plants that has leaves that aren't fully formed, but this has happened to me before and then it normalizes.

ElTelmo Before the photo, I did an apical pruning, I'll give it one more week of growth and then I'll switch to flowering. I want to have more space in the indoor area occupied since the idea is to get the maximum possible in the minimum time. For now, I'm satisfied, and the ease of the nutrients from Power Feeding is something I've never seen before. I start with osmosis water, mix it in the substrate, and every 15 days I use BioEnhancer. The color of the plants is optimal and the internodal distance is also very short, which is great.

ElTelmo This week, Neem and diatomaceous earth preventatives were applied foliarly. The apical pruning slowed down the growth and caused all but one to throw out branches, which has erratic growth. One of the prunings turned out to be FIM, so that's great, I'll see how it works. The transition to flowering starts today.

ElTelmo The apical pruning paid off, I have a lot of lateral branching on all the plants except for one that has shown leaf deformities and irregularity since the beginning. They are growing as expected, I'm having a smooth grow. I've applied foliar preventive with propolis for fungi and Neem for pests. I'm hoping for a good yield. Oh! It doesn't count as defoliation, but I removed four large leaves that were blocking light from reaching the pre-flowers, which didn't cause any stress and improved the light distribution.

ElTelmo Second week of flowering and everything is going smoothly. They've stretched quite a bit and the apical pruning, as seen in the photos, yielded excellent results. A bit of LST to try to fill the entire closet and keep it going like this. The temperature is very stable with a difference of two degrees between the maximum and minimum, and the humidity is at 50-60%, ideal values. The BIO nutrients from Green House are working wonders, and it's probably the easiest and best-looking grow I've ever done in these 10 years of growing. I also did a bit of defoliation, removing the small suckers and a few leaves here and there.

ElTelmo The flowering is going full speed ahead and without any issues; it's the healthiest and most potent grow I've done to date. The products from Green House Power Feeding are awesome, easy to use, and combined with the osmosis water, I haven't seen any deficiencies so far, and I haven't measured either pH or EC. It's a very simple grow and without any headaches. We'll see the results, but so far I'm more than satisfied.

ElTelmo While some deficiencies are appearing on the lower leaves, I will continue with the nutrient guidelines from the brand; trichomes are starting to appear and they're doing very well.

ElTelmo The plants are fattening up at a good pace, although I see some deficiencies. My intention is to see how they develop since they have less than a month left. They are consuming water at a faster rate. There's a noticeable difference between the Vanilla Kush, which show nutrient consumption in the leaves, while the Afghan Kush has a perfect color.

ElTelmo The plants are doing well, with a very good pace, fattening up and entering the final stage. In two days, I'll do a root flush, and in 15, it's harvest time. This strain is really aromatic, fantastic.

ElTelmo Everything is going very well, the plants are in their final days. I've seen the trichomes and there are already some brown ones. The food reserve in the leaves is practically consumed, so the soil has no nutrients either; they're all yellow. They're asking for less water, a sign of their soon maturity. The grow is satisfying, and as always, it helps to draw conclusions for the next one. I've improved from the previous one, and the next will be even better.

ElTelmo With just 5 days left until reaching the maximum indicated by the bank, the plants are almost there, and I'm observing the trichomes since there's an incipient maturation towards amber. If I wanted to harvest, I could perfectly do so, but I'm hesitating. The formation of the buds is very good, I'm very satisfied, but I also have conclusions for the next grow I'll do, a S.O.G.

ElTelmo In my second indoor grow, I've improved a lot, but I still think I have a long way to go. I see SOG cultivation as the best alternative for my setup. Green House products are very good, but they need to be adapted to the type of grow we're doing.
