Hi I'm Pete, developing protocols for cannabis plants in a home-grow environment, focused on maximum secondary metabolite expression per strain. For my personal product, I am interested in pharmaceutical strength per gram, not just watts per gram.

<span class="link_user">@Pete_vs_Nature</span>, I&#039;ve got a long way to go until harvest... but things have been going good so far. Cheers!
<span class="link_user">@squalino</span>, You made my day 1 month ago

<span class="link_user">@Pete_vs_Nature</span>, Absolutely! I’ll definitely share the soil analysis results once I have them. I’m really curious myself to see what’s left in the soil after three full runs and compare that with what I observed from the plant. And thanks, brother! :green_heart: The pistil production has been pretty crazy so far. Hopefully that’s a good sign and she’ll keep stacking hard over the next few weeks :fire:
<span class="link_user">@Resin_Cartel</span>, Sounds like perfect timing. I have the same humidity issues during drying when it&#039;s rainy in the summer, but it never occurred to me to simply move the harvest date :smile:
<span class="link_user">@ElNass</span>, Interesting insights. The soil analysis - nutrient adjustment loop you have going sounds like a dream. Are you gonna share the results? The plant looks really stunning, the sheer pistil density also suggest to me that you may be right on your last remark :stuck_out_tongue:

<span class="link_user">@Pete_vs_Nature</span> Well, during week three I went on vacation, and it was already hard enough to find someone just to water the plants. The real problem was that they kept stretching while I was away, and there was nobody available to adjust the lights for me. When I got back, the tallest tops were only about 4 cm away from the lamps. So you’re definitely right: during the stretch they consumed a lot of nitrogen, and you can now see the first signs of a deficiency in some of the leaves, which was pretty understandable given how aggressively they were growing. Since this is the third run in the same pot, I originally wanted to see how far I could go without adding any top dress at all. My plan was to finish the cycle, run a soil analysis, and then decide exactly what amendments to add back. However, after noticing these minor deficiencies and seeing how quickly the buds are bulking up for the end of week three, I decided to do a small preventive top dress. Nothing too heavy. I added about 3 liters of worm castings, 1 tablespoon of kelp meal to replenish some nitrogen and micronutrients, and 1 tablespoon of bat guano to give them a bit of extra phosphorus and support flower development. Hopefully that’ll be enough, but honestly I have a feeling it might not be! :joy::seedling::green_heart:

<span class="link_user">@Pete_vs_Nature</span> i could dry in the tent while always, but then i could only control the fans etc. remotely and not the rh and temp if the weather outside gets wild and i need to air out the room.. so it would be best to dry before holiday
