She looking great getting taller moving into flower! Very healthy looking! 🌸😇

In dieser Woche wollte ich eigentlich etwas weiter in die Breite. Leider wurde die Woche überschattet durch ein Missgeschick, bei dem mir eine Trieb abgebrochen ist. Den musste ich erst mal wieder flicken und habe die Erneuerung der Nährlösung verschoben, da ich die Pflanze so wenig, wie möglich bewegen wollte. Ansonsten entwickelt sie sich hervorragend. Auch die Wurzelmasse hat gewaltig zugelegt.

Starting to see where the buds will grow

Last photos are almost 2 months into curing mode.

😁

Im guessing 3 more weeks now

What a journey it has been from seed! I made a lot of mistakes in the first few weeks of this growing journey. I feel like I had a mini-crash after finishing the first year of grad school, and although I am growing cannabis as part of my research project, I haven't been the greatest at paying attention to it. This is not an excuse. It has actually been a learning opportunity. I realized that my body needs proper schedules to function and grow, just like a plant. The problems with the plant have really been my own problems. Let's just say that a plant may be the reflection of the grower. First, the light cycles were wrong and inconsistent. I thought that I could manually control the light schedule for the plants and be alright. However, I was wrong. My sleep schedule has been very inconsistent for the past few months. Mainly because we are living through a pandemic, and secondly because I am a graduate student 😂. How naive was it of me to think that a plant could follow my own rhythms? I guess it highlights my 'plant blindness.' Second, the light intensity was low and PH levels high. In the last five days, I have learned that plants are living organisms (I knew this, but my plant blindness is quick to dismiss it, I need to stop fighting these "plant voices" (signals)) that require a proper environment to grow, similar to humans. Of course, a plant is not human, but it is alive and living. It needs water, a regular schedule (light (active) /darkness (rest), oxygen, nutrients, and an overall good environment to grow. Concern about the size of my plant at five weeks, I decided to conduct a few experiments at home. Here are my notes: Friday, July 23, 2021, I took the plant out of the tent at 6:00 AM and placed it in front of my backyard window that faces the Eastside, perfect for sunrise. On that day, I had a few errands to run, and when I arrived home, it was 2:30 PM. The sun was now hitting the West side of my house, and I had to move the plant in front of my bedroom window. At around 7:00 PM, I went to look at the plant and noticed that its leaves were looking plumpy. So, I decided to take a timelapse to see what I would be able to record. During "magic hour" (sunset), I recorded and witnessed the plant moving with the rhythms of the sun. Plant, like humans, function at their best when they are synchronized with their circadian rhythm. The pandemic has definitely disoriented us to the point that it has disrupted all of our schedules. To this day, I feel tired from everything we have all been through; how could I possibly think that a plant would thrive with such a messed-up schedule? The time lapse made me realize that the plant needs some structure to thrive, and so do I. So, as much as I like to think that I can be disciplined and follow a plant's schedule, I cannot. So, I went to the store and bought the Globe Suite smart plug to automate and schedule the light cycle to 12hrs of light and 6 hours of darkness. Saturday, July 24, 2021, the plant woke up to the set schedule of the lights. I checked on the plant first thing in the morning, around 9:30 AM. The leaves look much greener and thicker than they did the day before. Sunday, July 25, 2021. I was away overnight and did not arrive home until 2 PM. The plant looks twice the size it was on Friday! Today, I will water the plant. I got a PH test kit and realized that the way that I measured the PH level, the first few weeks was wrong 🤦‍♀️🏽. I measured the PH correctly, to 5.9, and added some Reefertilizer grow nutrients to the water. I watered from the top, distributing the water evenly around the stem. My partner pointed to me that the lights seemed dim for the stage of the plant's life. So I had my lights set at 100 watts running at 20 % 😅. I realized that I had not increased the light intensity since the first few weeks of vegetation 🤦‍♀️🏽. So I increased the intensity to 100 watts running at 60%. Monday, July 26, 2021. First check-in 7:00 AM: The plant looks like it loves all of the new changes that I have made! It is finally growing 🤗 The sun is out, but it is not as intense as it should be because tiny particles of smoke are present in our air due to the wildfires, and they create a filter that makes the human eye see the sun blood red. It is quite apocalyptic. Regardless, I decided to take the plant out from the tent and record a time-lapse. It is fascinating how much movement plants have despite showing no noticeable signs of movement (to the human eye). Tuesday, July 27, 2021. It has been five days since I have made big changes to the plant's schedule and environment. The plant is finally showing good signs of growth, and its leaves colours have changed to a deep green. I am not watering the plant today, but I am spritzing it with water. I decided to take another time-lapse of the plant, but this time inside the tent. As I was setting up the tripod for my camera, I accidentally increased the humidifier 🤦‍♀️🏽. Luckily, I noticed within a reasonable timeframe and reduced the humidity and made the environment better. I increased the light intensity to 100 watts at 100%. The plant will stay in the tent all day today because it is raining ☔️.

Nothing new this week. She's still growing steadily and the nutes seem to be doing a good job so far. I'm using the Dual Fuel with a bit of Growth Solution to raise the EC to follow the Green Plant Nutes program and it feels like it's right so I'm keeping like that. The light is set to 100% as the plants are healthy and the weather is getting a bit too cold. I upgraded my second inlet fan from a generic 150mm ball bearing fan to a 125mm Phresh Hyper Fan V2 w/ speed control. Now my tent is so much quiet with both Hyper Fans V2 working on blowing fresh air in and out. Maybe I get a Phresh Hyperfan V2 Climate Controller to manage them automatically next upgrade.

She's doing well!

Good season ✅💚

Just switched her 😎💚🔥 Picking leaves daily stopped now until day 21 for heavy defoliation 🙏🏽😊💚🔥

Everything is going swimmingly! The plants are putting on astounding growth, so I’m starting to set up a watering schedule—beginning with 1L per plant every third day. I also sprinkle the topsoil with water now and then to prevent it from becoming hydrophobic. I turned up the light intensity to 400 to 500 PPFD.

Almost harvest now Flushed already , week and a half to go

I did this beautiful girl a strong defoliation and let's see together what kind of girl she will be in the end, in 10 days I completely filled the 120/120 tent with the plant and then I will switch the light cycle to 12/12 🌞🌋💚

Sorry not many pics... Got away from me

Esta semana fue tranquila. Voy a subir solo fotos del ultimo día de la semana, el día 49. Si se compara con la semana anterior, las ramas están creciendo a buen ritmo, a pesar de que las temperaturas en esta zona están bajando bastante. Alimente la planta con una solución de FPJ + LAB's en agua sin cloro, de manera que día de por medio alterno el riego entre esta solución y agua sin cloro. 😃 A pesar de que en esta zona la humedad ambiente es alta (50%-70%), aplico 2 o 3 veces por semana riego foliares con LAB's 1/1000. La planta lo agradece muchísimo y sus hojas se mantienen lindas y sanas. El olor que largan las hojas al tocarlas es casi frutado, riquísimo 😋. Me sorprende que tengan tan buen olor en vegetación. Esperamos en 2-3 semanas que las ramas hayan crecido lo suficiente para pasar la planta a floración. Cualquier consejo es bienvenido! Saludos!!
