Day 36
11/6 - General:
She keeps going up, and you can see more and more pistils everywhere.
Techniques:
Made some adjustments to the tallest and longest arms, tried to level everything and did what I thing is my last defoliation. Maybe another one a few days before I chop her down. But at this stage, I think we're done.
Feeding:
After last night feeding, she had a lot of water in the bottom of the pot, so I emptied it and today there's no food for her. One day abstinence, just a little mist before lights on.
Smell:
#3 still win the show and is 9 days behind. But she has a smell, very light/mild.
Temps and RH recorded today:
29c - 20c
88% - 41%
Pests and plagues:
Nothing to record, just took all out of the grow and cleaned the floor with a proper disinfectant I have home, and washed all plates from the pots, as I do every week.
Day 37
12/6 - General:
Accentuated growth of pistils overnight. She's growing steady and healthy, looks happy in the given conditions. With this warm days, I'm struggling again with higher temps and low RH. Even with an humidifier using 7 liters of water every 24h, the light 3/4 from the top of the tent, the extractor on - regulated for 25c max and full on.. I hope it doesn't get any worse s if this levels keeps or lowers, I'll definitely have problems in the grow.
Techniques:
Another few leaves were gone. She really likes to grow leaves and can't imagine her without lst and defoliation.
Feeding:
Gave her the week 5 schedule, according to biobizz schedule. Tomorrow will do the same and maybe from monday will start going over, depending on her response.
Smell:
With the development of all the pistils, she gained a new aroma. Very pleasant but still very 'green'. #3 still ahead on smell
Temps and RH recorded today:
30c - 18c
69% - 30%
Pests and plagues:
Nothing to record.
Day 38
13/6 - General:
She keeps stretching in a good rhythm! A lot of leaf growth lately, that made me broke my own promise of not defoliate her more. Well I did it again. Regarding the heating and RH problems, after a full morning and afternoon working inside the grow and outside, they're finally solved now. I didn't have the thermo-hygrometer in the right place, and made some adjustments in the setup that brought me back to desired values. Having the fans in the right place and speed and the same with extractor made all difference.
Techniques:
Another few leaves were gone. A handful. Move all the the plant around a little, to get more light and air around.
Feeding:
Gave her the week 6 schedule, according to biobizz schedule. Tomorrow will do the same and maybe from monday will start going over, depending on her response.
Smell:
With the development of all the pistils, she gained a new aroma. Very pleasant but still very 'green'. #3 still ahead on smell

Day 39
14/6 - General:
Good general growth. Going to stop with the training, to let them go up. It's getting tight in there. Pistils are whiter and longer, lots of new foliage. On the temperatures, still not happy with overall temps, that can easily go up to 30c. And that's way too much. Happy with RH values at the moment, but not so much with temps. Start to think I have a nice couple plants to make a SCRoG, and will eventually consider it during the week, while the plant grows. May be a nice way to support the weight if needed.
Techniques:
Bent the tallest arms around, like an arch, to even it out. More foliage removed. I feel I could just strip off her fan leaves. It's dangerously addictive to cut this leaves and to try to make the best light-surface possible.
Feeding:
Reacting well to the nutes given so far. I've increased slowly the amounts, to avoid overfeeding and other related problems. Gave her the "week 6 biobizz schedule", with a 1ml/L extra of Top-Max. Tomorrow will do the same and maybe from Wednesday/Thursday will start going over, depending on her response.
Smell:
Nothing new since yesterday.
Temps and RH recorded today:
30c - 18c
87% - 30%
Pests and plagues:
Nothing to record.
Day 40
15/6 - General:
She's getting taller. Today didn't touch the plant at all, been just around the tent trying still to get the perfect environment, which is not being that easy task to accomplish. Got it going very well, steady temp and RH (25 celsius, 45%) until the afternoon when the high temperatures outside thrown the temperature values to the 30c for some minutes. She looks healthy, developing properly, and seems to react well to higher dosages of nutes.
Techniques:
Just checked everything out. Nothing done in this area.
Feeding:
The medium looks good enough to skip a day on the feeding. The pot feels heavy enough to wait at least 12+ hours.
Smell:
With the increase of the heat and RH going down, the smell got a bit more intense, but again, still all very light on the nose right now. Still behind #3
Temps and RH recorded today:
30c - 19c
71% - 36%
Pests and plagues:
Nothing to record.
Day 41
16/6 - General:
Pistils are growing evidently. The whole plant under the light looks very well. After 48h without watering, today was time to feed her again. Funny was expecting to be drinking more than a liter a day. It's the second day I don't touch the plants, and will keep this way until tomorrow, last day of this week.
Techniques:
Just checked everything out. Nothing done in this area.
Feeding:
Week 7 Biobizz Feeding schedule (as above).
Smell:
Nothing new to add. Still behind #3
Temps and RH recorded today:
29c - 21c
60% - 38%
Pests and plagues:
Nothing to record.
Day 42
17/6 - General:
Another day without touching her. I'll let her do her thing for a week and then I'll see what to do. Right now she looks so nice I won't touch. Overall she's getting bigger and pistils are getting bigger by the day, it's full flowering now. Finally get a hold on temps and RH, which makes me super happy. Today I'll delay the feeding for 12h, fastening her for 36h.
Techniques:
