I got a week and a half notice that I had to go on a work trip out of country for 10 days, so the clown show continued. I was definitely overwatering them. Thanks @shinsimilla, I saw the difference after waiting a few extra days. Also, I definitely should have started LST at least a week earlier than I did. Now for work issues: I found an old security camera that the cats had knocked over a million times and damaged. With a lot of tape, I got it working again and set up in the tent so I could see what’s going on while gone. Be warned, the photos are NOT good quality. I also looked up DIY self-watering systems. I needed it as simple as possible to reduce the risk of something breaking while I was thousands of miles away. I found one where it wicks water up a cotton or wool string. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/P0hn5cKZ0Z0 I cut up an old 10K shirt that was made of cotton. I had just broken down my balcony garden since it’s already getting cold here. I took two long planters, lined them with a construction garbage bag to be the reservoirs. Even though the floor of the grow tent is waterproof and I put plastic between the floor and outside of the grow tent, I didn’t want to risk any water getting out while I was away. I was nervous y’all. Basically, you wet the fabric then use a chopstick to run the it through the plant from bottom to top. It needs to be long enough to have a few inches sitting in the bottom of the reservoir. I filled each with 3L of water with the BioBizz nutrients mixed in and ph’d to 6.1. More info in week 5.

The flowering on this lady has been very fast, she is giving off a nice orange 🍊 aroma. I have had to move her position in the tent to allow her to grow to her fullness. The weather has been really good this month and we have just had a few days that have been above 29 degrees Fahrenheit which has been welcomed at this stage.

As every one says, less is more with nutrients! I think I got a bit excited as it was my first grow. Already leaves my lesson and my outdoor photoperiod girls are looking great ! Check out the diary:) can’t fault it really. Minimal effort and minimal cash spent! Got just under half an ounce of product and bearing in mind I had to throw some of the buds away due to bud rot! I think another week of flush would have been great for them to!

Week 8 is over and its starting to look like fall in the tent. Yellowing leaves galore on Pheno 2 and a god fade started on Pheno 1. I have just been feeding with water when dry and keeping vigile of leaves that should come off. Its important to stay aware of the yellowing leaves as they can cause mold issues when they decompose on the plant which in turn also raises humidity and can cause bud rot. Ive had this issue once before when it was particularly humid but I learned to pluck the dead leaves as they are no more use to the plant anyway and also incorporated a de-humidifier. I would say its a must as far as equipment for grows go as you never know when you may need it particularly in humid areas such as where I live and depending on the type of plant, vigorous growth tends to cause more humidity. A flan is also important as it moves the air around the tent and eventually out through the ventilation. Apart from leaf picking, I have just been admiring the tent and watching buds that may look like they will swell up to the point where the stalks cant hold the weight. Its inevitable and I will just tie them up as they start to fall. Anyway only 2 more weeks to go (maybe 1 and a half epending on the last swell and trichome head colour). Until next week ✌️

Can't believe we're at the start week 5 already. This is such a beautiful process. Things are looking good - I started defoliation on all the ants this week. I figure, the little one isn't getting much bigger, the big one is so bushy the light is having trouble getting thru even with LST, and the bag seed seems to be a photoperiod plant so I have all the veg time I need to recover on that one. Update: The bigger girl started flowering on day 32! Let me know what y'all think!

She grew 4cm this week in height. She's doing her thing. Next few weeks should show some good growth.
