I defoliated the 3 plants to give some light to all the branches.
I broke one branch of the Cashew Kush during the watering. I inadvertently pulled on one of the string used for LST with the bottle cap. I also noticed that another branch of the Cashew Kush broke because of the LST, but the tip is still attached to the rest of the branch. I already broke 3 branches of this poor Cashew Kush so far, sorry little plant 😞 I also almost completely broke one branch of the Jack Herer but since it was still attached a bit, I've tried to fix it with some tape and wire. I already did that in the past and it worked but this time the extremity of the branch did not make it 😔
I'm now watering every 2 days. No fertilizer yet.
Due to increasing humidity before defoliation, I put the fan ON 18h/day again. Humidity was around 65% before the defoliation and 62% after. For the last days of the week, I set the dehumidifier to 50%.
I slightly reduced the light intensity from 75 to 70% to try to reduce the light burns of the top leaves. Next week I'll set the lamp to 12h/12h.
Plants heights at the end of the week :
-------------------------------------------
Blackberry Cake : 25cm
Jack Herer : 32cm
Cashew Kush : 32cm

I've brought the PPM down again and kept the pH at 5.7-5.8, plant looks great first grow so very happy, Alot of Trichomes and don't know if I should be getting ready to flush and harvest, buds still getting fatter and she's still thirsty and drinking water but a lot of amber pistils and not sure if the crystals are clear or Milky but plant looks Great, just unsure when to harvest,
I've reduced nutes a little more and calyxs still fattening up, gonna hopefully start flushing at end of this week for about 2-3 days in my 4gallon bucket

She's stretching at the moment, hopefully bud formation will start soon.
It's looking like mid to late October if she lasts that long 🤞

This week was emotionally tough.
The Pineapple Upside-Down Cake hasn’t handled the transition well.
Her color shifted to a dull, washed-out tone, the posture weakened, and the overall metabolism seems depressed.
The stress accumulated during late veg is still showing:
nutrient fluctuations, environmental instability, and then the photoperiod flip pushed her over the edge.
She simply didn’t bounce back.
At this stage, expectations for yield have to be revised downward.
This run won’t deliver what the early training and maintenance work could have produced.
Still, the plan is to take the plant to harvest rather than abandoning the cycle.
Even a weak yield will provide useful feedback about stress management during pre-flower.
The priority now is stability:
hold EC steady, avoid aggressive feedings, monitor pH drift daily, and maintain a gentle VPD to reduce transpiration stress.
No interventions this week other than observation and minor parameter corrections.
The goal is to see whether she stabilizes or declines further.
Next update in one week.

I've been a bit confused about the age of my clones but I reached out to suppliers and got more details.
Clones were cut on September 20, I transplanted on October 25 when I received.
I'm thinking I should flip to flower end of November.
Lots of bud sites after lst and bushy.. a bit short in my eyes but I know will stretch once in florer

After not growing for almost a decade, it’s absolutely nostalgic and somewhat of an emotional moment to finally finish a grow again.
I never thought I’d ever be able to do it again, But it feels really good after all this time and I appreciate all you joined me on this journey.
I’ll be back soon; very soon! Stay tuned :)

New week! Tips and help from last week, I had around 1500 ppm and I did flush my roots in water and change everything. Now is around 1000 ppm and dropping 150 ppm a day.
Did read about water level in DWC and how to increase the grow with water. I had the water almost up to the root or the level of there the basket is. Now I have 1-2 inch (2-5 cm) below where the roots come out. This create air roots. I'm not sure if it's the air roots or the ppm but my flower is boosting. Can se buds grow!!
Trimming so I can keep the same hight.
Have any tips or rekomandation?
Only have one question for next week and this is: it's looking a bit thigth between the buds and all of the leaf is cristal on it. Should I cut some more leaf? And what leaf should I trim? Is so thigth in there. Or will it grow fine?

Weekly update. Sorry it was a late update this week I was out of town (Bizcon2024). Wow have they grown, I'd say doubling in size. I've upped the watering to 1000ml daily, this week I'll do a major defoliation and lollipoping. All in all Happy Growing

Comecei uma semana realizando o treinamento de baixo estresse e uma desfoliação. Não fiz poda top, não acho que seja adequado para plantas rápidas.
Vamos ver como vai ser o resultado. Não pretendo mais fazer intervenções no crescimento. A pequena lá do fundo não vou mexer .

Watered with 3 gallons RO water with no nutrients or supplements.
This may be the last watering. I checked each cola for amber and cloudy trichomes. There are about 5% of thr trichomes that are amber. There are about 50% that are cloudy. She is getting close.

Watered with 7 gallons RO water with no nutrients or supplements.
This completes the flush, as the runoff numbers are great.
She will get her 12 hours of sun today and then immediately followed by darkness for 36 hours, then hang whole.
Still reading up on finishing techniques so I have time to decide whether or not 36 hours of darkness are beneficial.

Water was @PH level 6.4 and ppm was 300. Plants seem slightly stunted from transplant. I may have transplanted a day late. Can anyone tell me what they think about the plant in the back left. Its blue dream same as the plant in the green fabric pot? Light is a lil over 50% power at 24 inches from canopy. I still see a little leef curling/cupping???
