In week 9 my 'Fruity Terp' ladies have grown substantially and filled out the space in my HOMEBOX growtent. Therefore its time to do a round of defoliation. I take out my plants one by one and cut off the lowest branches on the stem (the ones not grown tall enough to get good light) and also the biggest fan-leaves (the ones shading the lower part of the canopy). The defoliation will increase the airflow thru my plants, which will in turn help to avoid mold from a build-up of humidity between the leaves. The light can now also penetrate deeper into the canopy now and therefore lower buds will also get more light and can grow bigger. The SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs are doing a GREAT job, my babies love their spectrum and intensity and grow like hell. The nutrients from BIO NOVA work EXCELLENT, all plants have a nice healthy green color. Since we are further in flowering now, I also add PK 13-14 from BIO NOVA following their 'SOIL-CULTIVATION' schedule.

I’m driving myself crazy trying to figure out what to do. I’ve been on the web, sent an email for help and scoured social media. I hate feeling like I’m harming my girls. I just got one plant doing a little better. Now the other has joined in. Gelato is a rock star.

Welcome to week 6. Day 36: Took off a few fan leaves today and gave water only. Day 37: Height 28cm Day 39: Fertigated with an extra strong mix, I'm going to up the nutes now until I find her maximal tolerance, she is starving. Day 40: Still starving. I'm keeping her constantly topped up with quite high strength nutes but it's not enough. I think 200ml may have been an overly generous estimation of her root space volume. Day 41: I knew this would be a challenge but it is proving more difficult than I expected. I hope the effort is worth it! At least so far I have learned more about autoflower flowering triggers with this grow. Day 42: in trying to get enough food in to her I have nute shocked. Need to somehow flush and hope for the best. I may have dealt her a fatal blow. Alright so to end up this week I have flushed the ever loving crap out of this lady. I've burned her with too much nutes, I didn't think it was possible but I went really over the top. So I have used a combination of a straw and 2l of PH corrected water and a lot of time and patience to repeatedly saturate and then upend and allow to drip out (with the aid of blowing bubbles in there with the straw). Eventually the run off stopped being dark brown. Then much later it became clear. I do not know if I can save this plant now I have really hurt her she looks in BAAAAD shape. Let us see what happens over the next week. I have adjusted the timer such that the main tent is now getting 20/4 upped from 18/6. After monitoring DLI at 18/6 for a week I am unhappy with the overall level but because of the varying heights of the plants I am limited in what I can do in adjusting the light height. Some areas were only getting 20 DLI. So I have rearranged to have the taller plants on the edges and the lowest in the middle and doing it this way all plants are getting between 35 and 50 DLI at 20/4 - although one or two cola tips here and there are getting 55. Will monitor for a week.

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are topdressed @ ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 We missed the scattered showers but it's been 80-90% humidity all day. It's been real sunny but the pots are very wet. Day 2 we had sunshine and temperatures above 80° F. The soil dried out a little today. 🙏 Day 3 we have clear skies and temperatures hitting mid 80's F. Pots dried out enough that I watered 1.5-2 gallons from the hose. Well water is 7.6 pH and 50°F. Day 4 we had thunderstorms and rain in the morning. There was lots of sunshine that afternoon, then rain and severe thunderstorm overnight. Day 5 we had lots of sunshine, temps in the mid 80's and thunderstorms and rain in the evening. The thunderstorms became severe overnight. Day 6 we had rain in the morning followed by rain and thunderstorms intermittently into the night. Day 7 we had rains early morning and then cloudy most of the day. We have sunshine in the forecast for next week. 🙏🙏🙏. This week was a very wet success. The plants doubled in height and began to grow their side branches. The rain has been constant and nearly eliminating the need to water. It's a concern to have constant rain and high humidity. I've seen fungus gnats but these plants haven't shown any signs of stress. Once again fastbuds can thrive in a challenging environment.

11.07. Cherry Poppers 1# Day 77# Cherry Poppers 2#Day 74# On one of these two plants, the bottom branch broke completely during the storms.. I fixed it and tied it, but there was no way to save it, it could not heal, it could barely hold itself, and it could not absorb water, then it dried up, but no big deal, it's only the bottom branch, this often happens to me every season. Today is the end of the eleventh week for the plants. There were storms all week and with the fact that they spent almost the whole week under stress (they were also under heat stress a couple of days before), I am certainly satisfied with the progress. On Tuesday, they were watered for the last time, with clean water, then it rained, and the next day it rained all day, since then they have not been watered, as soon as the soil dries I will feed them. Below in the table is the food that they received last time, but it is included in this week, and I introduced that as well. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

📆 Semana 10 El cultivo entra en su fase final de maduración, con plantas muy cercanas al punto óptimo de corte. Los cogollos se muestran duros, densos y completamente formados, con el peso ya definido en todas las ramas. La resina alcanza niveles máximos, con tricomas mayoritariamente lechosos y presencia de ámbar empezando a ser más visible, marcando claramente la ventana de corte abierta. Los pistilos continúan oxidándose de forma progresiva, reforzando la maduración avanzada. La planta reduce su actividad y comienza a consumir reservas internas, provocando un ligero fade en las hojas grandes y una mejora en el perfil final de aroma y terpenos. Cultivo en recta final, afinando el punto exacto de cosecha. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

July 23: A great week of warm sunny weather with enough rain to prevent the garden from becoming too dry. Flowers are stacking... a bit leafy but dense. Smell is coming on strong and resin developing complexity of different fragrances. Purple Punch has great structure and nice smell I'm sure most would really like.

She grew 10cm this week. Day 42 - I cut off a few huge leaves to allow better light penetration. This is the last day of 20/4 lighting. From now on it's 12/12.

I really enjoyed growing this single plant in a small space like a first indoor experience. The end result is not exceptional but it is fully acceptable for the setup and the period in which the plant has grown. I very soon hope to bring more serious diaries to really start having fun.

F47, riego pH 6.3 y EC 1.5, cogollos grandes y densos, los tricomas ya presentan tonos lechosos, a un par de días de cortar. Bajé el rango de temperatura para que en las noches sea más frío, y las plantas se adapten al supuesto invierno que se acerca, de está manera, generando más tricomas. F50, las temperaturas mas bajas han aumentado los tricomas, los cogollos han aumentado su densidad, no se ven cambios en tamaño, pero algunas ramas se están doblando debido al aumento de peso. En 2 días más aproximadamente se hará el corte para empezar el secado.
