This week the photoperiods really settled into their training rhythm. Early in the week I introduced silica into their watering for added stem strength. Midweek (Sept 4) I topped the plants above the 4th/5th node, leaving clean spacing to avoid splitting, and also removed the lower nodes to simplify their structure for the 32×32 tent. By the end of the week, each plant was forming four healthy mains that should train out evenly. Early in the week I also cleaned up the soil surface by pulling out some weeds that had sprouted in the cover crop mix. I originally mistook them for thyme, but once they developed it was clear they weren’t. Removing them freed up space and ensured the true cover crop and main plants had full access to water and nutrients. The plants showed no stress from topping or pruning — leaves stayed a strong, even green, and they were “praying” toward the light after each adjustment. I also uppotted them into their next pots this week. Roots had begun filling their containers, and the timing lined up well with topping. Each transplant went smoothly, and the plants showed no signs of shock afterward. On the feeding side, I watered with silica and began brewing a compost tea (worm castings, kelp, a touch of fish emulsion) for a 18–24 hr cycle to use in the next watering. Watering cadence was every 2–3 days, depending on dryback. Overall, week 5 was about building structure and resilience. The plants bounced back quickly from topping, are holding great color, and are on track to fill out the tent evenly as training continues.

It´s here! Plants are now switched to 12/12 schedule to start flowering phase. Leaving the MH bulb for growing for this week before I will switch bulb to HPS for flowering. Keeping these flowering nutrients on the same level. Continue with little bit of LST and defoliation of unhealthy lower leaves. Also, I´m now trying to lower temperature a little bit. My goal is to maintain 24-25°C during the day and 18-19°C during the night. I´m curious if dropping temperature will lead to more purple buds. We will see.

Growing along quite well. Next year, bigger bags and better soil mix. Also, a little longer veg inside wouldn't hurt. Got buds starting on the three ATF's, Chemdog, Night Nurse, and one Viper Cookies. Still no signs on the big mother Lamb's Bread, which makes me wonder how big she's gonna get. Finally stopped being lazy and set up some support for them, since my training left them a little wild. Hit them again last night with neem as the little pests are back and munching away. Supposed to stay relatively dry this week, hoping the single application will last for a while. Continuing with TIger Bloom every other feeding, alternating with straight water ph around 6.

End of week 3 in bloom , I’ve got most of the lollipoping done , canopy has filled in really well , lots of bud sites , I will remove some of the shade leaf out of the canopy in another week , stretch is done so just want to give the buds as much light as possible. I had a discussion with my grow shop rep and we discussed water times and schedules with the need for the rock wool to dry out so I dialed my feed schedule back from 6 feedings in 24 hrs to 3 , it’s been a week and the room looks great , final weight and time will tell me if feeding them less often is better.

Comenzando semana 7 de estás nenas, aun las mantengo en 1L y hoy le hicimos su primera defoliación masiva, ahora a esperar que se recuperen para hacerle trasplante a maceta de 3,5L. La verdad no eh tenido muchos problema, todo sigue igual siguiendo el mismo orden de nutrientes, bacterias y hongos benéficos una vez por semana, enzimas ahora se las estoy dando día por medio o cada 3 día. Ya logramos sacar los primeros clones de la watermelon, punch y cookie y la thc bomb. la dss aun la tenemos tirando fuerza que no va mal pero no tenia espacio para más clones. Saludos

Hey guys :-) . Today the plant was sprayed again with neem oil. There weren't any more trips to be seen after the second application, but to be on the safe side, you did it again today get a cure. That's why the beautiful dark shimmer on the leaves :-). The ladies are developing well and have 1 week before I change the time to flowering. Normally I would let it get bigger and train because the tent only has 80x80 and 180 watts are available, so I will switch it over soon enough. This week it was poured twice with 0.8 l each time (for nutrients, see table above). Otherwise everything was cleaned and, as always, everything was checked. Have fun with the update and stay healthy 🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : Clearwater Seeds Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 5.8 - 6.4 MadeInGermany

Mr Pipi loves seeing Frost. Starts to get shiny in the building. Smell was always like a fruity Whick Vaporub, but now the Menthol/Minty is not the most present and it gets more floral (kind of).

This harvest does not make honor to this strain. I just growed it with not enough space and light in the room because was the 5th plant and the free seed I wanted to grow anyway. Very Good sativa hybrid with strong cerebral effects! Thanks 420 Fast Buds 🙏🏻

This is week 3 I only gave this plant just a tab of nutrient and it sent her into a growing frenzy. She has a slight scent and is already showing signs of flowering. Is this normal help!!

Las veo creciendo bien sanas. Le aumentaré 2 horas más de luz para que crezcan lo máximo posible y aprovechar este tipo de Led. Durante las semanas estuve aplicando un estimulando de raíz BioBizz y se han ido afirmado a la tierra de buena manera. Además, encendí el ventilador de pinza en baja potencia para crear una suave corriente de aire.

Florganics is a living soil starting fertiliser the earth is this time plagron light mix the lamp is at the start at 25 watts and 20cm above canopy i will start to remove water from the system by placeing a spongecloth on the waterslide i think the earth is a bit on the wet side Also want to add nutrients at some point and fresh nematodes to make sure i dont get the damn flies again i move the controller to the other side to make sure the sensor for temp and humidity is close to the plants I had to change the soil mid week as it was too hot. It was made from last year's FLO Florganics and too bad... It switched to biotabs NL And put ZK 1 and ZK 2 in the fridgegrow system. I removed ZK 3... WHATEVER FLO Florganics is actually a great product and as soon as it is available again we will use it again... There was trouble with the factory and Flo learnt a lot. Now the fertilizer gets tested in and independent lab.... END of week all looks great the plants are growing the one that had too many nutirents for a while is now ... bigger of course

* Watering 2l every 3 days, no nutrients * Always tuck in the leaves to expose lower tops * Check the trichomes for amber
