-----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.
-----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO-----

Day 85 - first day of Week 13 and she is going into darkness for 48 hours. Hasn't been watered since 2 days.
Even though she looks the least done of all three, her trichomes are now a good 20-30% amber with the rest milky and some tiny bits of clear. I checked her buds on the calyx all around, from top buds to middle to bottom. She really shows a lot of heavily swolen calyxes, which I have never seen like that. I can now add that to the things I learned/experienced: calyxes swell a lot before the plant is finished. Let's see. My Girl Scout Cookies does not look like she even has calyxes. Funny individuals. Happy wedding cake day, almost 😍
Day 88 - out of darkness. She was in there for 2,5 days. Opening the drying tent she gave off a really strong smell of hash 😍wow. She has some nice looking buds and looks def. more done, but below her dress, she has some light fluffy buds. I have hung all of them now in the dry tent, after I removed some of the bigger fan leaves. One part of it, I think I want to low and slow dry in the fridge. I am interested in finding out about the difference in taste, when a more wholesome profile is retained. For anyone interested, I can highly recommend this forum and this article: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/drziggys-low-and-slow-drying-maximizing-your-harvest.366783
Another part I would like to use for fresh cut oil, also from here: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/fresh-harvest-infused-cannabis-oil.363371/
As with everything else, I was obsessing about the perfect dry room & conditions. I bought a small tent (40x40cm), a small oszillating fan hung over the buds/on top of the tent. Due to size limitations, I have the filter on the bottom with the duct leaving the tent at the bottom connecting to an exhaust fan. Inside the tent I have a humidity sensor from an Inkbird Humidity regulator. Connected to that is a mini-dehumidifer and a humidifier. I have set it to 20°C (68F) and 50-55% humidity. I'm excited to see how long my dry will last this time. My first grow was drying way too fast in the middle of the heat wave last year with 30% humidity.
The overview added to the pictures, I started making over Christmas. It was when I noticed, that I'm a so impatient, and that something must be wrong, especially in the first weeks. I get so obsessive, that I tend to overcare. Which she showcases beautifully in this overview. I hope this will calm me down the next time. Oh my haha
Let's see what the final dry weight is. My guess is about 25-35g. Any other guesses? Happy Wedding Cake day 😇

👽Salaam to all! Another week has passed. Today I will start with nutritional information this week, I will tell you how I trained my beauty and what basic fertilizers I use.
👋This week I made a new solution, for ~ 9.5 liters of water I used:
Liquid Silicone 3 ml
2 milliliters Calcium Magnesium
7.8 Gro, 5.2 Micro, 2.6 Bloom
And 6.5 ml pH Down
I got 666ppm and 5.5 pH.
I immediately poured 8 liters into the system, and within a week I topped up the leftovers and adjusting the PH from time to time. Additionally, on the sheet, I use stimulants Root Booster, Energy Spell, Fulvic.
💪Now about training:
At the beginning of the week, I did super cropping, a technique that involves breaking the stem of a plant to inflict minor damage and stress on it. And as we know, the natural response to stress in our plant is the production of cannabinoids. Therefore, by properly sprinkling the branches of the plant, we will kill two birds with one stone: we will get an effective bush shape and increase the potential of the cones. I also did this so that the side branches grow back faster and the plant does not receive early stress from the cut off head.
At the end of the week, I did the topping, as the plant continued to grow well and reached the 6 floors I needed. Topping (from the English verb to top - to cut; in Russian it is also used "to stomp") - a cut of the top of the plant between the nodes (internodes / pairs of leaves). Such training is carried out when the plant already has nodes. This breaks the classic herringbone shape of the plant, giving the nodes light and air. And the plant, instead of concentrating all its forces on the central cola, begins to pay attention (read energy and nutrients) to new growth points, which will later become colas.
🙌And finally, I'll tell you about fertilizers:
We need to start with this: GHE Flora Series (now called Terra Aquatica in my country), consisting of three components and developed in California in the mid 70s of the last century. Since then, its formula has been improved many times. This drug is able to give a plant everything that it needs at all stages of its growth by varying the proportions of its components and their concentration. It contains all the necessary useful elements and trace elements.
FloraGro. This component provides the plant with vigorous growth during the growing season.
FloraBloom. During the growth period, this component allows the formation of the roots of the plant culture. In addition, it has a positive effect on his general condition. This component acts most effectively during the flowering and fruiting period, when its capabilities are realized one hundred percent.
FloraMicro. This component is considered basic. Its main task is to feed the plants with all the required elements in the form of chelates. They include sub-trace elements, which are secondary substances. FloraMicro contains buffering particles to help stabilize the acidity (pH) of the solution.
🙏Thanks to everyone who reads my report and gives feedback. This is very important and makes me happy. Feel free to ask questions or make recommendations. Next week I will talk about the supplements and stimulants I use, as well as show the effects of my workouts. See you soon. Peace for everyone! ✊

I'm impressed with this C4 Auto, from fastbuds this is one of two plants I grew. This plant is a real indoor plant she grows lovely. The other plant is an outdoor plant it's pretty too don't get me wrong but where i thought the outdoors would produce a bigger plant i got the opposite of that, I got a Mutated plant, nice colored bud on here but she continues to mutate even in flowering stage my indoor plant is twice her height and size but love both my C4 Auto from fastbuds. Even if they broke my heart by changing payment policy, I'll never be able to get seeds from fastbuds again so I decided to spray my runt on the outdoors with tiresias mist feminized seed spray..... hopefully I get some pollen and able to pollinate my indoor C4 Auto..

Rainy week, no need to fertilize or to water the plants.
The are growing fast and very tall, despite it should be small one, the tallest ones are from seeds I found in my Baby Boom last year that could be a good explanation.
I give a bit more of fertilizer and I started with the Boost + for the flowers.

Hello Diary,
Cherry Pie has completed the second week of flowering.
The flowers are forming nicely, the areas around the flowers are a lighter green color, so it looks like it has Christmas lights on it.
Cherry Pie has started to stagnate in growth, this week only 9 cm, now the plant will direct most of its energy into the flowers.
The leaves are a healthy green color and so far they do not show me any signs that the plant is missing anything.
Watering was every three days, I continued to add CalMg and Bio-Bloom Fertilizer.
The conditions in the grow box are now much better.
The temperature is around 28 degrees and the humidity is below 50%.
Overall I am very happy with the growth and progress so far.
Here is a quick overview of the week.
24/08/2024 - Day 31.
Watering.
I prepared 9 liters of water. I added CalMg 1 ml/lit, Bio-Bloom Fertiliser 1.5 ml/lit and then lowered the p.H. to 6.0.
With this amount I watered all three plants evenly.
27/08/2024 - Day 34.
Watering.
I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier.
28/08/2024 - Day 35.
End of the second week of flowering, or the fifth week from the beginning of vegetation.
Photographing and measuring the height of the plants.
Cherry Pie - Day 35. - 69 cm
That's all from me for this week, see you soon.

En esta 3ra semana le corte los primeros 4 brotes a cada planta, ya que considero que esos primeros brotes quedan tapados por la luz y no se desarrollan tanto.
Han crecido de buena manera, aunque el color verde de las hojas no es pareja, quizás la poda les afectó un poco o porque la extracción sigue siendo pasiva para mantener la humedad y eso afecta al proceso metabolico.
Durante la próxima semana el fertilizante de root-juice lo cambiaré por vitamax pro, y mejorare la entrada y salida de aire.
.... Se me había olvidado agregar a la solución de agua de bidon Cal-max, tal vez eso les faltaba, lo tendré en cuenta.

flipped to flower a couple days ago. you'll see a defoliation in the timelapse, they bounce back just so quick it's insane. just barely started stretching yesterday/today. super excited for that and to see how my canopy / quadline works out in the end.
i've gone down a whole living soil / organics rabbit hole recently with BuildASoil and One Straw Revolution etc etc. I really think I'm going to switch to large living soil beds for my next grow. That said, I've started adding in some foliar and root drenches with organic products - BuildABloom, fish hydrolysate, freeze dried coconut and aloe. Plants seem to really be enjoying it, after applying they just seem so happy. really happy with the smell I'm getting and don't even have pistils, much less flower yet.
So that's pretty much where I'm at. Wyze camera dropped the ball on the timelapse for the...sixth week in a row. I set it up, it seems to be running fine all week and then at the end it's missing days and corrupted. I got my hands on a linux script to make timelapses out of the raw footage, so this week I'm just recording continuously and going to try and run that.

Transplant into 1 gallon plastic pot mycorrhizae for less transplant shock with coco coir had to buffer a brick for 18 hours submerged in calcium after couple days went organic for less of a headache of wasting money on nutrients to make it simple and effective control system 1 plant is showing deficiency working on bring it back to optimal used compost tea with silica , fish fertilizer Neptune , soil recharge every week ph to 5.8-6.0 1 gallon 1 cup water per plant bigger plants get 2 cups want less run off after 2 week to get the calcium out from the buffer solution added 2-84 geia green and 4-4-4 1 tsp per plant of each dry amendment water every day so coco doesn’t get dry roots are healthy on the bottom of gallon pot you see new growth soon thinking of transplanting for better results during flowing stage currently photo and auto soon cross breed some of them during flower for new future projects ,
