Start of week 3, the three survivors are doing great! I did happen to find some algae growing on top of one of the rockwool cubes. (This was my fault for not fully covering the tops of them with hydroton to block out light.) As an attempted fix, I cut some square pieces of black cloth that I laid of the top of the cubes to block out the light completely. Hoping removing their light source, the algae will die off and discourage any further growth. If it gets any worse I’ll try using a hydrogen peroxide solution. Day 17, the three ladies are looking nice. Starting to see some nice healthy roots populate inside the buckets. I went ahead and upped their nutrients today. We will see how they are doing in the morning. -FloraFlex - 1.5g/gal of each V1 and V2. -Advanced Nutrients - 1/2 strength MGB and hobbyist additives. **Algae update: seems like using the black cloth to block out all the light has killed off that algae growth and I don’t see anymore so it’s working!** Day 18, I thought one of my plants had root rot. Which was weird for it to happen that fast in less than 24 hours since changing the res. Come to find out it’s just nutrient stain from the Advanced Nutrients, so thank god. #1 and #2 which are growing with FloraFlex got FIMmed today. I’ve topped plants before but never FIM. Not sure if I did it right, but that’s the fun in all this, is experimenting to see what works. Day 20, #1 and #2 are responding well after being FIMmed couple days ago. I decided to FIM #3 as well. I also decided to leave the 4th one out of this diary from here on out since she’s behind. We will stick with the original three that survived from the start. So far I’m really loving their bushy appearance and thick leaves. Their roots are coming out super nice as well! Pretty soon these babies are going to just take off!

Day 57 total (for plant 1) Day 8 of flower (for both) 2020-06-28 New week, changed the nutrients from 1000 to 800 ppm because I kept having to dilute with CaliMagic water last week. I tried jumping up the nutrients too quickly. No burn but the nutrient intake wasn't nearly as fast as the water intake. Pre-flowers are coming out all over :) 2020-06-28 Plant is still drinking far more than its taking in with nutrients. You really have to drop them a bit when you go into flowering because they start guzzling... Trying to keep them around EC=1.6 but I might have to go down to 1.4. Regardless, they are clearly happy and growing like crazy. Flowers are starting to emerge at the beginning of week 2 of flowering. I think that's a good sign. I continue to have to defoliate, especially plant 2! It's making these huge fan leaves every day. 2020-07-01 I typically have to top up Plant 01 every other day with water, so thirsty and growing so quickly, I wish it would stop.... I am posting an image of what I think is springtails. Gonna ask a grower question about it. 2020-07-04 Springtails don't seem to be hurting much. Tested and they seem to be fairly resistant to bleach AND hydrogen peroxide... They also seem to eat their dead very quickly and they congregate in clumps. They are bizarre to watch. Seem to have gotten a bit of nutrient burn on plant 2. I've kept the nutrients about 1650 but the ppm in the water keep going up because of the water usage. I keep diluting it down over the course of the week and it seems to be working.

I am a little late on updating this week. I left the girls alone for a few days and came back to a jungle. Going to be doing a lot of defoliation over the next couple days. I have cut out the maxigro, silica, and humic/fulvic. I started them on some liquid koolbloom to help build the buds. Twisted helix is a very sad plant. The leaves literally turn upside down like it just wants to die. If I just brush up against the plant is shows signs of major stress. I will give the strain one more chance in the future before I call it a failure. Other than that all the plants are looking happy and packing on some pistils. Just going to keep the juice pumping and the lights beaming.....

All plants are nice and healthy and all have now been topped, i switched to flower end of week 7 as dont really want them getting much bigger i would of liked to of switched them over a week or so ago but had to give the 5 plants i stunted time to recover and catch up a bit in size with the final stretch now over the next couple of weeks they should all be at a decent size hopefully and fingers crossed they give me some nice smoke in the end, dont you just wish you could fast forward a few weeks sometimes, im dying to see these ladies late in flower getting fat haha roll on mid may ✌️

July, 1: flushing to lower EC. Today i fed them with 1/2 of the snoop's premium nutrients bloom and the other half with snoop's premium nutrients grow, following the recommendations of the product. Also i incorporate Genesis from Agrobeta (last pictures). Again, don't pay attention to the plants in the small pots, i will do another diare for them because they are one week younger (this is why i will keep the fotoperiod of 18 hours one more week) It was too late for use the nem oil, and for the moment it's not necessary. So, i dont used it in the 4 week like i said. July 3: Today i trimed the lower leafs. Maybe it was too late, but i just cut the leafs that were really low and looking not that good. July 5: This is my first time growing anything, I'm super excited and i think they are doing it great jaja because i don't have any experience, so i can't compare it. Anyway, i think they look fine 😊 I can't find snoop's premium nutrients bloom in GrowDiares, but you can see composition in the last pictures 😊

Very good evolution this week!

Segunda semana de floración para nuestras #kriticalbilbo de @genehtik_seeds 🐷🌱🌺🍒. En esta semana aplicamos solo base de floración así preparamos nuestras plantas para la segunda dosis de #bigone de @topcrop 🕶️🤠. En las fotos se puede apreciar un ejemplar especial de la Kriticalbilbo, tenía un brazo creciendo al mismo tiempo del central sufrió un ataque gatuno y la dejó gravemente herida, gracias a la habilidad del jardinero se logró amarrar y salvar, ahora es la más hermosa de las #kriticalbilbo con más de 8 brazos engordando a full 🕶️🤠😁 Comentarios y sugerencias les leo siempre... 😇 Recuerden seguirme en instagram como @Cecilioeljardinero.
