Today starts week 4, and the first day of flowering!! The day has finally arrived, and my large (flowering) tent is packed! With these 4 additions, there are now 6 plants all together.
I defoliated the living daylights out of all four of my ladies today. I also cut off all the lower, small growths as well as the large bottom 2 branches to provide clearance near their bases. At this point I鈥檓 more interested in the ease of growing instead of volume at harvest. Their mother is big enough to give me a pretty good yield. The 4 of them will still be large enough.
I measured each one as well today, and their sizes are as follows:
#1 & #4 are both 21 inches tall. #2 is 22 inches tall, and #3 is 20 inches tall. They are all approximately 28 inches below the light at 100% power.
I fed each plant half a gallon of water today mixed with the early bloom step 1 level nutrients. I mixed 2 separate gallons containing the following:
CALiMAGic - 2 ml
FloraMicro - 5.7 ml
FloraGro - 6.6 ml
FloraBloom - 6.6 ml
Floralicious Plus - 1 ml
The pH was 6.2 in each of the two gallons and was not adjusted.
Runoff was sufficient for each plant, and the pH was as follows:
#鈥檚 1 & 4 were both 5.8.
#2 was 6.2, and #3 was 5.7.
The tent temperature was 81F, and humidity was 66%.
Today has been a long day, and I鈥檓 tired! Happy growing everyone!

Stella鈥檚 Cuatro are all doing well. They all seem to have recuperated from their massive defoliation on the 18th. Right now they all seem to be naked since they haven鈥檛 started to develop any bud nodes yet, but I鈥檓 sure they鈥檒l be beautiful eventually.
Today I mixed 2 more gallons of solution to feed each plant half a gallon of water with the early bloom nutrients. The nutrients are the same as the other day, so I鈥檓 not going to repeat them here.
Both gallons had an initial pH of 6.3, and we鈥檙e not adjusted.
Each plant had plenty of runoff as well. The runoff pH was as follows:
#1, 3, & 4 were all 5.8.
#2 was 6.1.
The tent was 84.2F, and the humidity was 52%.
Not much else to say, except, happy growing everyone!

The stretch is on in full force with Stella鈥檚 Cuatro! Just since 6/18/22, only 5 days, #1 green 5.5 inches, and is now 26.5 inches tall. #2 grew 8 inches, and is now 30 inches tall. #3 grew 4 inches, and #4 grew 3 inches, and now they are both 24 inches tall.
I鈥檓 hoping that the stretch stops soon and that they don鈥檛 choke off the space I have left in the tent.
I mixed 2 more gallons of water with the early bloom nutrients. Each plant received 1/2 gallon, or 8 cups of the following:
CALiMAGic - 2 ml
FloraMicro - 5.7 ml
FloraGro - 6.6 ml
FloraBloom - 6.6 ml
Floralicious Plus - 2 ml
Liquid KoolBloom - 1 ml
The pH for both gallons was an equal 6.4. Each plant had sufficient runoff with pH鈥檚 as follows:
#1 & #4 were 5.9.
#2 was 6.2, and #3 was 5.8.
The tent temperature was 85.1F, with humidity at 51%.
Stella鈥檚 first 4 daughters are doing well, but I鈥檒l be glad when they stop growing, and start producing some pistils, and bud.
Happy growing everyone!
