Alright grow cycle, mistakes, improvements, etc... She did stay in veg for too long, her growth was slow and not the best and so she took quite long, next time i'll be there from the beginning so I can take care of her throughout. But her growth is really fun. It is a tall growing sativa with fairly tight noding when trained accordingly, producing long filled colas. The buds grow fairly dense and fluffly but do air out a little when dried. Trichome production was pretty impressive as well as terpene production. She had thrips since her early days but did not seem to mind them at all. I did spray them initially but once flower started I stopped. I believe predatory mites might have been feeding on the pupae in the soil, if that is what this specific species of thrips did, the reason I say that is I could never see adults only larvae. Whatever the case maybe they were there but the population never really increased. Something I did not mention during the grow is that those plants were played music during the days, music that is apparently developed for plants. The 10L pot was WAY too small for a true sustainable living organic and to provide enough space for the plant, that was a mistake, I'd say a 20L would be the bare minimum and still. The bigger the better. The hempy transfer did not hurt the plant and I believe even helped to some extent, BUT, I am still running test on the subject and so can't confirm anything, here are my observations Roots did not colonize the perlite, a little on top and the sides but that was it, I was expecting to see a big root mass in there. I believe hempy are great for salt fert as it hold a soup of nutes where the plant can feed from since the coco only holds very little Whereas in nature most nutrient are in the top soil where the highest amount of decomposition happens, this is where the highest microbial activity happens and so where the plant will find food. Living organic is trying to reproduce nature and so there is no need for the plant's roots to gather at the bottom of the pot. Although it could have potentially provided the plant access to a larger amount of water and possibly more oxygenation of the pot. Those are all theories, please speak up if you have other proofs. In conclusion , unless i get proven otherwise by someone or my latest running experiment , I will not be using hempies again as I believe it brings more complication and issues than a simple fabric pot. The lights, The 600w at the start was good, then I decided to add a 400w...😂 That was completely overkill and not necessary. Waste of electricity. And they started suffering from too much light it seems at some point, I raised the light by a good 30 cm and they were fine. 600 is more than enough. I am happy about how the soil performed but it has room for improvements. As for the watering technique I have been watering large ammount every few days, next time I will be giving constant small amount of water each day and a soak every week or so, I believe the soil might perform better under those conditions. She was also an easy plant to harvest whit her long colas which had very little foliage, I do trim in excess as I like my buds extra clean but the buds are not excessively bushy. The trims were use to make some bubble hash, around 100g of wet trims yielded around 1.5-2g of bubble hash. I did add a negative effect but only because it wouldn't give me a smile otherwise, but to be honnest it barely dries your mouth. The soil is going to be recycled and reused in a next grow. I can't think of anything else at the moment but if you have any question don't hesitate.

Removed a few leaves from 1st and 2nd lady which where covering some branches. 36: Some brown things in the flower. Is that normal? 1st lady is just growing in the lachuza pon granulate. it has ph 7.1 and i just watering her with pur water. maybe it will work but her developing seems to be behind 2nd lady. 37: Feeded 2nd lady with 1.5l water PH 5.8 and 2ml/l BioGrow and 2ml/l BioBloom, That cocktail had ec of 414ppm. the water had around ec of 180 ppm. I will try to optimize the mix of purified water and tap water. What should the proportion be between cal/mag? The tap water has a proportion of 7:1. 40: Feeded 2nd lady with 1.0l water PH 5.9 and 2ml/l BioGrow, 1 ml TopMax and 3ml/l BioBloom, That cocktail had ec of 580ppm. the water had around ec of 200 ppm. A few lower leaves look a very little bit turning into light green. At all she looks very healthy in my opinion. And they are really stinky 😂 The side branches grow fine. I counted 10 of them 😍 They reach nearly 30 cm. Main branch is over 40 cm I think. Need to buy a measurement think 😇 I think LST is good for dwarfs but I have to work on the technique a little bit in the future. 41: I can measure height now. 1st lady is only 28cm. 2nd lady is 38cm and side branches 28cm. 42: Same cocktail as week 40. 1.25 l

Excited to finally have the baby cut down and now letting her dry out! Wet trimmed some pieces but then leaving rest to do dry. I am excited to share future grows00

Things are going well , almost done 2 weeks of flowering already tops are forming up nicely very excited to see what the future hold in store for me with these 2 lovely ladies I might start training them soon depending on growth so stay tuned for that ! Thanks for coming by and reading ! -Happy Growing!

Almost 2 weeks into flower now and things are starting to look good . The ladies got a nice shape to them looking nice and healthy they have grow a little but not much this past week I can say thats likely due to formation of flowers and getting ready for her last big stretch . All in all things are looking up in the garden cant wait to see what the future holds for me Thanks for reading ! -Happy Growing!

Just waiting. The pineapple chunk is quite fat. The critical seems more hardy. It resisted the light burn and recovered slightly better.

Last week was pretty stable. The buds are steadily fattening up, just how we like it. They all got burned leave tips, I think it has to do with too little runoff, because I’m using GHE’s flora hydro schedule on exactly half strength. Its not getting worse over the last days so its probably not a big deal. Like I said last week, I have a dehumidifier now. I got it hooked up to one of the air holes on the bottom. My sonoff temperature and humidity sensor checks when it goes over 65% rh, and fires on the dehumidifier whenever needed to blow difrectly in the tent. I do wonder if I could save on electricity to get a stronger exhaust fan. Because the humidity outside the tent is low enough, so more air circulation could fix the humidity issue without actively dehumidifying I think. I’ve been eyeing on the Apogee SQ-102 PAR meter. Its not perfect for led light but it does give a pretty good idea about the amount of light hitting the plants. I’d like to get a better idea of the optimal distance between plants and light. Especially since i ran into loads of light burn issues in this grow and past grows.

On flush regime, water only, no nutrients, only a soil cleaning solution. Still has some clear trichomes, a few milky and no browns. Guess it has to flower 1 or 2 weeks more. Full history of the setup on week 1.

Week four, doing tha same feeding schedule, still growing. This week o started spray water as weel as in the soil. Keep growing! Anxious to get my first harvest.

I have been starving my flowering plants this week to provoke that trichome production. I Will clean out the veg room and germinate seeds for next grow. Half strenght nutes this week as well

Shown substantial grow over the last week. Doubled in height. Thinking I should have used a bigger grow bag as it's only in a 2 gal bag but it's already flowering so I won't transplant now. Starting to see a lot more pistil and calyx development. Gave the plant it's first feeding at the beginning of the week with a general plant and vegetable fertilizer. Noticed a richer green in the leaves since being fed.

She got some purp

Almost harvest. It’s in flush right now for 4 days then it’s chop chop time enjoy

She got some purp

Just plain water now there proper getting there fade on the self restraint I’ve had not to cut these down early 🤣

So week 2 was a bit of a fuck up, I think. The scrog went into flower and by the end of week 1, it was looking far to busy and leafy, zero light was getting through so I decided to thin down a little. Also I wasn't happy with how the scrog was over developing, so I took away the net and allowed them some free growth and little more spread across the canopy. I think this work stressed them a little, who knows?? Ideally I should have given them a far more comprehensive prune a week before flower, alas I didn't so here I am. This weekend will mark 3 weeks of flower, and apart from the prune I've seriously left alone and will have for a couple weeks, so this weekend they will get some serious defoliation and probably a few straggler tops will be removed to thin down a little. After this weekend, again, just feed and monitor. So looks like I was just being a bit of a drama queen, the plants are doing superbly as I near wk 3, lots and lots of colas. I will be thinning these as needed whilst I prune by taking out any stragglers. I've also added back in some boost nutes just to help overcome any stress I may have caused. I've also raised the lights slightly to reduce stress at this important stage. Last one for this week, all plants fully defoliated which I'm stoked about, no problems, I think I'll need the odd support cane since a binned the scrog, but apart from that not much else left to do other that monitor all aspects to make sure of no silly mistakes.
