-----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-----

I ran into problems in the beginning but now I’m seeing my mistakes witch is a good thing because that means I’m learning… RDWC is definitely different then soil but I’m loving it. I also see now that I need to turn the center pot lids around so my plants aren’t going under the trellis support pole. Rookie mistakes.

Second week with the mini humidifier here and so far mixed results. I need something with larger capacity so I don't have to refill it every single day, but still small enough to fit the IKEA box.
Strongly considering to add a heated mat too at some point. There seems to be quite a bit of temperature difference between the plant and the bottom of the pot. Maybe just some insulations. Sooo many things to try, but let's focus on not overfeeding them 😃

It's been a beautiful strain to work with, the flowrs are definitely worth it after all this time, the quality is definitely high. However this pheno of ak420 smells very different from the other 2 phenos I've grown along with her. The flowrs are beautiful, very solid and frosty nuggets, I smoked a few little nuggets when trimming but I'm excited to taste the big buds, hope you guys enjoyed the process. I want to say that this pheno #1 has a different smell compared to the other 2 phenotypes of ak420 that you can see here on my page as well, so stay tuned guys! Overall result is very nice, good quality, strong weed, sticky, stinky. I can say that it's very great and also you can get them for a very cheap price so it's a very good investment if you're looking for a powerful and affordable strain. Cheers growmies! ❤️💚💛💎👨🌾

This is by far the biggest yielding strain ive done, the plant flowered in high humidity and no mold. Very resistant and amazing yield. The plant needs support to carry the weight and also has a good stretch the first 3 weeks of flower. Absolutely gold 10/10

All going well, Fed with grow,micro,bloom, + Overdrive. Calyxs really filling out nicely one more week of feeding them, then flushing for 1-2 weeks .
In video of #2 i show where it broke, she healed and kept budding any way.😁

Plant has shown slow but healthy growth since its arrival, LST continues and I've managed to keep the plant at the same height it was last week but now at a horizontal angle.
I did up the nutes for one feed to a slightly under recommended dose but in the days following I noticed the plant looking a little 'droopy' and since she has been with me she hasnt been drinking very well so I opted to flush her for a feed, since then she has seemed very happy :) whilst drinking much better (possible nute lock was imminent). Now back down to half doseages with the exception of CalMg (to help after flush) but will be increasing them in the following days.
As of next week I will be transferring her and another plant my partner is nurturing into single bucket DWC set ups. Fingers crossed I will see some hearty results for making the crossover to hydro.

We’re pretty much back on track — except for that one plant. It’s still a bit fried, but it’s stacking some nice buds, so I’m not too worried. 😉
I’ve drastically increased the amount of fertiliser and have been using organic feed with every watering. Most of the leaves below the canopy are back to a strong green, with only minor signs of deficiency that aren’t spreading. Feeling pretty happy so far!
Two of the three Purple Lemonades are packing huge donkey d****, pitching the tent* 🥁😅
Stats so far:
💧 Watering: 1.5L every other day
💦 Humidity: ~55% RH
🌡️ Temp (lights on): 22–26°C
🌡️ Temp (lights off): 20–22°C
📈 Avg. VPD (lights on): ~1.5 kPa

looking very pretty in the tent indeed!! only one liberty haze plant in there but she is looking very plump already with a month or so to go. she gonna be a lovely lady indeed. continually defoiling the odd leaf here and there but overall a bit bushier than last run. not a whole lot to report back this week. fairly smooth sailing and not many changes except plumping up! so until next week my friends 😊

FBA2503-week 1 of Veg
This week has been wild. Once the roots made a foundation the upper growth has been explosive the last few days. Really cool to watch and see the daily growth. I introduce calmag and grow nutrients this week starting at a 1/4 strength. All in all they've responded well showing no burn what so ever. Happy Growing

So another week and some more thickening and ripening. The smell is like blueberry on one and the others are sweet as well. Slightly different smell to each. Watering when dry still at pH 6-6.6 and monitoring overall plant trichomes. At this point it's autopilot to the end. No more feeding with slow release and will slowly flush the remaining food out next few weeks. I like my trichomes to have some amber, not too much but mostly cloudy with some amber. Seems like most will be dense, except one plant I've called corona virus. It has smaller buds but are really resinous and smelly. Cheers and happy growing!

The Gorilla girls all popped the soil overnight from potting. Day 1 with a bang. lol
The cheese broke on the second evening and even now at day 11 , 2 are still struggling to escape the soil fully. Frustrating to watch helplessly.
The Gorilla girls are all nice and settled in on day 11 ( today) . I am watering occasionally and keeping it wider than the plugs width to encourage the roots to explore out. The Amnesia are still dormant so I have excluded them from rhe grow this far. dissapointed is not the word and no idea why they failed so badly ??.
The potential growers are settling in now so hopefully a good weeks growing will bring them to heel.

They are 46 and 60.5 cm
Both of them look pretty, each one is different from the other but they are beautiful 😍
Taller keeps beeing full of pistils, and the smallers that have green buds almost without pistils now is developing some kind of purple color on her leaves.
They have a strong sweet and critric smell, the strongest among my plants.
Watered yesterday with nutrients, i'm not sure if keep feeding them or not. I guess if i give them one more week (maybe cut them on feb 11) their colas may gain some weight, specially lower buds.
Added a video of each plant, i hope you enjoy 😺

Good week so far, I laid my net down , always a Nice feeling when the net goes down and I can start focusing on creating my canopy.
I will start bending my branches out to fill the net space up and to create room for lower branches to get some light.
I defoliated a bit and stripped the lower branches just after I took these pictures , i know there are different schools of thought surrounding defoliating so soon into flowering , but im doing hst and i like to see what I'm doing dealing with and what my branches are producing.
I'm happy so far
