It's starting to get better without stopping. After changing the soil in the middle of the pot to peach moss.

This was another very good week for the plants, with the flowers beginning to swell up and take shape. Some of the lower leaves are starting to yellow, but this is expected. As the light doesn't penetrate as far, the plant will begin to 'consume' those leaves and drop them to redirect energy to the tops. The canopy is fairly even apart from 1 small spot, which does not have any colas at all. This is due to me bending away the GSC that was topped, with the intention of the lower branches stretching up. This happened with all the other plants I did it to, but not this one for some reason. I think it was due to airflow around the budsites so I added an extra fan last week to hopefully improve this. The strongest looking plants by far are still the ones that were Topped with LST, followed by the mainlined, with only LST in last place. I have found that the LST only ones do not have stems as thick as the others, so this may impact yield later. Not much done in the way of training apart from the odd leaf bending or stem tying. The next few weeks will most likely be fairly uneventful, as now we just need to wait for them to flower fully :D

Laid out the Srog nets with intention to change the light setting next week. Added pre-flower nutes as well as a 1" top dress - with some added nutrient mix. Thoroughly watered and ready to start training.

I'm really contemplating dropping Bruce & Diesel. They're developing very badly. We'll see how they continue to develop, another week and it will be clearer.

June 13th - Day 22; fed 1L yesterday 16th - fed a full meal; 1L - extended another section of LST. It can now grow as it wants 17th - taking some urgent action because of an ailment that had fallen on Californian Snow, that now seems to be affecting Zamaldelica. After being fed yesterday, Cali Snow had all of her Fan Leaves wilt and dissolve sort of, within 4 hours. She was flushed and it seems a Low pH was the final element to clear from the run-off. This morning Zamaldelica fan leaves are sporting Orange Spots. I’m throwing 6 gallons of pH’d water (6.5) through the substrate right now thanks… ! - looking to put some of the blame on me, for allowing these plastic pots, with limited holes, to be the final resting place for these gems… should have AT LEAST been into Fabric or Smart Pots DoH. When I picked them up yesterday, that container was physically Hot. Not dry, but man the soil portion was warm. - glad I flushed, did not see this one coming. Sure, it was a Heat Warning, weather system, but things did not dry-out. - also moving Zamaldelica into a 5 gal fabric pot. Last soil in the house, kinda worked perfectly. Sorry Californian Snow, maybe too far gone. Something became acidic in the substrate after the volume of that meal, reached the lower levels, and an accumulation of Nutes/additives. It reacted - I knocked off any loose soil from the original Pot/rootball and put 60% of the plants core into a DynoMyco laced 6gal bag. - caption for the video; been one of those days…

На этой недели решил чутка перейти к крайним мерам, пришлось удалить короткие и кучнистые ветви на которые попадало чень мало света, посмотрим как пересёт такой стресс, всё идёт замечательно)

So it's the end of week 2 Veg and I can't believe it but I transplanted 3 of the girls already! I don't think I have ever transplanted that early, usually it's at least another week or more. Guess that's the difference of starting under T5 bulb vs starting under full spectrum LED. Incorporating microriza into starting soils helped also I'm sure! By day 18 they were looking a little sad, water didn't help so figured they're probably short on space and craving their new 2 gallon fabric pots. Took them out of the solo cups and as they pics show they were ready indeed! Roots for days, nice and thick/healthy/white roots. When prepping soil I use a 100L bin. I always make sure to wash my hands and wear a face mask as the dry amendments get into the air during mixing and you really don't want to breath that. I mix the soil with worm castings to an 80/20 ratio then add my dry amendments and mix well. As well as incorporating Dynomyco into the soil at the recommended rate of 15ml per 10L I also sprinkle it into the transplant hole. Since using this stuff I've never had transplant shock and they just seem to grow faster and thrive more 💪. Light has been at 30" and have lowered to 25"@50%. Goal is to reach 17.5" which should give a spread of 450-500 umol/s according to PAR tests. Can't wait to see the growth this week! 🤞👍🙏

This grow has been an unbelievable challenge. From bugs and stretching to other various problems. However I've gotten some great advice and am hopeful that it will turn around soon. :)

Hi buddies! We are already in second week of flowering stage and the first flowers are starting to appear, the biggest plants are the ones that are showing flowers more quickly, so the others will show them on the next days, I hope 😁😁 Plants are looking strong and healthy so the best is yet to come!! 🤘🤘🤘
