-----WEEK SUMMARY-----
(Following text was translated with tools and reviewed, sorry for mistakes, misspellings or nosense things)
As you can see I've done a defoliation this week. Yes, I have really gone over the top, I have removed many more leaves than I had, and the tails of the plants has not come to join at all due to the failed defoliation.
Being the first defoliation I do, I did not really know what I was doing and I went crazy. Now that it has been several weeks since I made this defoliation, I realize that I should not have removed the leaves from the nodes of the tails, because they have stopped growing and have not joined with their superior parts. Anyway, the plants are beautiful today and although they could be much better I feel very happy with them.
I know I've made 2 fatal mistakes in this grow
- The first has been the massive defoliation badly done, defoliation yes, but with head ... do not follow my example.
- The second failure that I see today, is that I did not leave enough growth time (18/6) after having made the last pruning and that has made the tails have been a length much less than what would have been desired, I think that 2 more weeks of growth would have been perfect.

-----SUMARIO SEMANAL-----
Como podéis ver esta semana he hecho una defoliación. Si, efectivamente me he pasado de listo, he quitado muchas más hojas de las que debía y las colas de las plantas no ha llegado a unirse del todo debido a la fallida defoliación.
Al ser la primera defoliación que realizo, no sabía muy bien que hacía y me lancé a lo loco. Ahora que han pasado varias semanas desde que realicé esta defoliación, me doy cuenta de que no debí de haber quitado las hojas de los nodos de las colas, pues estos han dejado de crecer y no se han unido con sus partes superioras. De todas maneras, las plantas están preciosas a día de hoy y aunque podrían estar mucho mejor me doy con un canto en los dientes.
Se que he cometido 2 errores gordos en este cultivo
- El primero ha sido la defoliación masiva mal realizada, defoliación si, pero con cabeza.... no sigáis mi ejemplo.
- El segundo fallo que yo veo a día de hoy, es que no dejé suficiente tiempo de crecimiento (18/6) después de haber realizado las últimas podas y eso ha hecho que las colas hayan quedado de una longitud muy inferior a la que hubiera deseado, creo que 2 semanas más de crecimiento hubiera sido perfecto.

I already cut one of 3 pots
I put one to dry and another 2 pots I’m doing the flush this week.

Perfect height I wanted to obtain after the three week stretch, both strains performing well with two of the orange punch requiring a extra 0.2 ec above the all the other plants.
Canopy is very busy so did some defoliation to get better light penetration and increased air flow around the plants.

All 3 plants are different, the one at the back is as big as the other two.
One of the plants in the front is in a 9 liter airpot and developing quicker than the other two.
Also the buds are looking a bit different, very white on the bluecheese in the back.
This week I also started adding Acti-Vera and Bio-Heaven, hopefully they like it.
Not noticing anything unusual and I am glad I have the extra 20 cm to grow in hight in the new tent.
Day 46, switched to bigger lights SF-G3000, fits perfect in a 70x70 😇
Light at 60%, 40 CM from top.

Day 79: Second Grow
We've decided against using additional nutrients and have completely stopped fertilizing. The light cycle has been reduced to 11 hours, and we're already starting to give them cooler water. Starting Monday, I will be watering with ice water to stress the plants further, aiming for higher yield, more terpenes, and increased frost. The adjustment to the light cycle should also help the plants ripen evenly.
The lights are hanging about 20 cm above the buds, which are getting thicker every day, soaking up the light intensely. In about a week, most of the plants should be ready for harvest. We plan to stop watering them for about 100 hours before harvest. During this period, I'll place ice cubes on the soil to shock the roots one last time.
48 hours before harvest, I will turn off the lights, giving the plants two days of darkness. After this period, the plants will be cut and hung to dry.

Now starting to fatten up and are nice and frosty. Hard to choose between them at the minute on looks but the blue sherbets are definitely some big girls. Buds are dense as fuck and smell lovely. Some of the leaves are quite burnt now so they’re not the best looking lot. Can definately see the affects of the overdrive. Great product. Last week of feed then on to flush.

I really feel like changing the lights in week 5 was a bad idea with both this and the gorilla glue. The quality of these nugs is great, but they could have done more. When running autos, its like a hurdle race, every little hurdle you hit takes away from the end product.
However, despite my apparent mishandling, the smoke on this stuff is still great. The flavor is there for sure.

I really enjoyed growing this single plant in a small space like a first indoor experience. The end result is not exceptional but it is fully acceptable for the setup and the period in which the plant has grown. I very soon hope to bring more serious diaries to really start having fun.

Aug 6: Harvest is about a week away I think. Some very minor aphid appearance on lower undersides of leaves suggest I can't wait too much linger to chop. Colors remains vibrant lime green and resin is thick on shaded areas with extremely fruity, floral and pineapple aromas. Tester bud selected.

🚀 Week 8 Overall | Flower Week 3: Taming the Beast! 🌿
What’s up growmies! Hopefully you are enjoying your Christmas time 🎅
Today is December 29th, marking the first day of Week 8 overall and the start of Week 3 of Flowering.
The stretch has been absolutely relentless! Even after my last adjustments, the girls were still pushing too close to the light. Today, I had to do some final low-stress training (LST) and bending just to maintain at least a 20cm gap between the tops and the LED panel. I’ve got my fingers crossed that this is the final week of the stretch—I’m officially out of vertical space!
Recap of the recent "Rescue Mission":
• Heavy Lollipopping: I’ve cleared out the entire bottom section (the "skirt") to maximize airflow and focus energy where it matters.
• Canopy Management: Raised the AC Infinity net and thinned out the jungle. It was a massive defoliation, but necessary for the plants to breathe.
• Organic Strategy: I’m still seeing those yellow tips from my initial soil mix mistake, so I’ve started adding Organic Silica to help the plants handle the light stress and strengthen their structure.
The plants are looking much more manageable now, even with the minor nutrient burn. Now it's time to stop the vertical growth and start stacking those flowers! 🌸❄️
How's your end-of-year grow looking? Any advice for the Week 3 "stretch-ender"?
One Love & Happy New Year, growers! 🇯🇲💚

A lot of growth over the last week. The girls are filling out nicely. Still no sign of maturity yet. That's okay. Still another month before they get flipped to flower. The NL is getting a little nitrogen toxic so I backed off on her feeding regime. I will put the nutes back in her feedings when I see her leaves have stopped curling. Other than the minor toxicity, all is well.

Week 7 Update
I’m honestly amazed at how well I trained this plant, the 6-manifold came out perfect. She’s doing excellent, showing vigorous growth and a strong, balanced structure.
Everything about her looks healthy, from the canopy to the bud sites starting to fill in. She’s taking her nutrients really well with no signs of deficiencies or stress.
I’m excited to see how she looks later in flower once those buds start packing on.
Feeding
1.9 L Athena Bloom nutrient mix (steady from this point).
