๐ธโฐ๐๐๐ง I think the time has come to transition to flowering. ๐ธ As I embrace this new phase, I have never done this by switching the lights โฐ before, and I know that the standard is to switch to 12/12. However, I'd like to experiment with reducing the lighting by 30 minutes each day this week, aiming to reach 14/10. ๐ This gradual approach will let us ๐ observe how our champion plant adapts to the changes with precision and care ๐ง.
๐ฟ๐ช๐โ๏ธ๐คฒ Likewise, I did not immediately remove the huge mass that has grown. ๐ฟ Instead, I'm choosing to wield Occam's Razor in a gradual manner, wielding the ๐ช blade carefully, to ensure the vitality reduction of the plant is gradual ๐ and gentle, not abrupt and harsh โ๏ธ. This method respects the living essence of the plant and aims for a cautious, nurturing approach ๐คฒ, enhancing our chance to achieve the lush, vibrant bloom we're striving for.

๐ถ๏ธ๐๐โ๏ธ๐ฑ Nothing special is happening. ๐ถ๏ธ As the days continue, I am reducing the light ๐ hours and gradually trimming the excess โ๏ธ, maintaining a steady focus on nurturing our ๐ฑ champion.
๐ค๐ก๐ธ๐ซ๐ฟ I'm not sure how much the stress from pruning parts of our girl might delay her transition to flowering. ๐ค It's a delicate balance of stress ๐ก and growth, where each cut ๐ซ might impact her readiness to ๐ธ bloom.
๐ โ๏ธ๐๐ช๐ But in my cramped conditions, failing to trim the excess doesn't allow the strength to flow where it's needed. ๐ Navigating through the tight spaces, each snip โ๏ธ boosts the vitality ๐ช of the remaining parts, ensuring the most vigorous growth links ๐ to the flourishing future we aim for.

๐๐งโ๐ I've slightly tweaked the formula - removed B52 from H2O2 and added Bud Factor X. ๐ In this ongoing experiment, B52's absence ๐ง is temporary as I explore the effects of introducing โ Bud Factor X into our regimen.

๐ฑ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฆ Bella is expanding, growing very robustly indeed. ๐ฑ With her vigorous ๐ฟ growth, she has already managed to find a gap on one side and attempted to grow out of the grow box. ๐ Her ambition to explore beyond the ๐ confines of her ๐ฆ environment is both astounding and challenging.
๐ค๐ก๐ฑ๐๐ I'm not sure how I'll manage it, but the example set by @Chamomile with his compact yet extremely effective growing method is truly inspiring. ๐ค While pondering this, the innovative ๐ก approach taken by @Chamomile shines a light on potential solutions, giving me the confidence that even in tight spaces, ๐ฑ greatness can be achieved, and indeed, this example deserves a round of ๐ applause for its efficiency and ๐ brilliance.
W9.D5(64)
๐๐๐ฑ๐๐ธ The light day has already been shortened by 2.5 hours, and, it seems to me, we can witness this transition into flowering firsthand. ๐ Having adjusted the ๐ light schedule, the plant is now undergoing a significant shift, and we ๐ฑ observe this change as it unfolds, moving towards the flowering stage ๐ธ right before our ๐ eyes.
W9.D6(65)
๐ฑ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ The grow progresses leisurely, filling the box with an ever-greater abundance of life. ๐ฑ As time ๐ unfolds, our grow box ๐ฆ becomes increasingly vibrant with ๐ฟ lush greenery, brimming with the ๐ essence of vitality.

El ciclo de la planta ha sido muy bueno, los fenotipos de Sweed Seeds son bastante fertes en cuanto a enfermedades, personalmente sientre uso mico vita (top crop) mezclado en seco con el sustrato y siempre me a funcionado realmente bien ๐
Los cogollos han ido cogiendo fuerza y tricomas sin parar, respondiendo al entrenamiento LST sin ningun problema ๐ช

๐ Week 6, 26 May - 1 June 2024
26-31 May - Observed and let the plant grow.
1 Jun - Did a light defoliation of plant (see picture) to allow light to reach all bud sites.
๐ This is her first week of true flower and she is still stretching some. Her size has doubled and as is now into more intense lighting, the canopy coverage reads at 40 DLI. It looks like the light power will need to only stay at 50% in this small tent. The new light is proving itself well so far, more light without added heat, no complaints - except for the dimmer switch. A true consumer marketing mistake by ViparSpectra.
๐ถ 28 May nutrient solution changed
๐ฝ๏ธ 28 May feeding schedule updated
๐ง Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0
๐ Nutrient solution EC 2.6 at 70 degrees F
๐ Light power at 50%, DLI 40 canopy coverage at 18hrs
๐ค Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH
That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Buenas! Ultimas semanas, ya pasamos al overdrive y tratare de ir bajando la fertilizacion de a poco. Se ve el engorde, se ve el aumento de resina y el olor va cambiando un poco con respecto a semanas anteriores. Vamos a tratar de mantener temp baja y humedad controlada ( 24ยฐ C y 60-65 HR) pero no es tan facil, se acerca el verano y sin aire acondicionado todo el dia encendido es complicadisimo. Pero yo soy casero, hacemos lo que podemos con lo que tenemos. Disfruten de las toronjaz como yo lo hago, deleitense

Week 5! All those pic are from the same day. First pic is before transplanted in 11 liter pot ( I took off the weakest plant cause just 10 fit in my box) the soil is made of light mix and warm casting but I top dress with:
70/30 of 444 and 284
- 1 Tbsp per gallon
Rock dust -1Tbsp per gallon
I sprinkle the root ball with mycorrhiza and water with compost the of warm casting and molasses brew for 24 hours.
Then I put the scrog net and bend all the plant under it, I use the cropping technique cause most of the plant were quite strong as u can see from the pic.
Ps: donโt mind about the sound of the first video Iโve just been unlucky cause they pass in front of my house while I was make the video๐

So far so good. Today, on 23/8, I fed her with Biobizz Grow for the first time. I think she's been growing at a decent pace even without any fertilizers, so, in order to not risk nute burn, I used a smaller dose than what BioBizz recommends.
27/8 The newer leaves seem as if they are curling up a little bit. Might be because the light is very low. So, I have raised the light a little bit. Let's see how she responds.
put on new lights that are more suitable for the veg phase.
-------------------
28/8 So I posted a question regarding a Spot that appeared on one of the leaves. By mistake I selected an answer that might not be adequate to my situation. GrowDiaries does not let you change the selected answer so I am copy-pasting the correct answer here. Bostongirl17 was right because I did spray some Neem Oil on the plant because there were mosquitoes in my room and i even saw a little spider. So it could be that a bigger droplet fell on the leaf and caused that blemish/spot.
Bostongirl17: If itโs growing with the leaf- and not at a faster rate. Itโs probably just a blemish. Is it possible you splashed them with your nutrients during feeding? ๐ฑ

Really into the massive stretch now I am having too move the climate control probe and thermostat every day now and these girls will soon cover the WiFi camera too , probably growing around 2 or 3 cm per 24 hours at this stage , " day 4 of week 5 "
The tent is filling up nicely but the fbt7 is a clear winner so far , be is my cock up of snapping the main stem and fixing it ? The ftb7 is double the size of all the other 3 plants and is a very nice little bush , the smoothie has been very consistently healthy and vigorous and is around 22cm now and is one I did not lst , the BlackBerry has finally woken up and is now the same height as the others another plant I didn't lst , the c1 started very vigorously and was strong , them week 3 started too show signs of very early flower , she is now is fully fledged flower at week 5 and looking fantastic , and I was lucky enough too get all the side branches out and bend over the main cola too the netting and has made up for in lst what it lacked in size due too the early flowering ,

Ideally you want to drastically up your PK Week 5 of flower. Unfortunately adding PK late last week forced me to ramp up by 2ml/gal every day until 9 ml/gal to avoid shocking the plants. These plants were growing super bushy despite being Sativa dominant. Definitely played it too safe Week 3, gonna go heavy next run.

Predators Unleashed & First Frost โ๏ธ๐ท๏ธ
This week brought a few challengesโbut also some exciting signs of progress!
First off: spider mites tried to crash the party, but I wasnโt having it. ๐ค
Iโve been manually removing them every day, and todayโfinallyโno new sightings. On top of that, I released a fresh squad of predatory mites, who are now keeping things in balance. Nature's tiny enforcers are on the case. ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐ฌ
I noticed some slightly yellowing lower leaves, so I trimmed them off. It could be a touch of nitrogen deficiency, so I slightly increased the BioBizz Grow dose during this weekโs feeding. Iโll keep a close eye on it over the coming days.
๐ฟ Otherwise, sheโs looking strong, vibrant, and full of life. Beautiful structure, steady growth, and sheโs just starting to shift into bloom mode. I gave her the usual round of care:
๐ง Weekly care routine:
๐ธ BioBizz Grow, Bloom, TopMax, CalMag & Alg-a-Mic
๐ธ Compost tea (homebrewed magic, as always)
๐ธ Effective Microorganisms for a living soil boost
๐ธ And this morningโa full feeding session to keep things on track
โจ Exciting signs of change:
The first trichomes are starting to sparkle under the sun, and when I sit next to her, thereโs already a faint, sweet scent in the air. Sheโs officially getting into bloom mode! ๐
Now that sheโs out of the tent, sheโs following the natural 16/8 rhythmโand since she was hormonally triggered into flower before leaving the tent, sheโs holding that bloom energy steady outside. ๐๐
The vibes are good, the buds are on the way, and I couldnโt be more excited to see where this beauty goes next. Let the Red Hot journey continue! ๐ฅ๐

Tutto sempre preciso per ora, molto soddisfacente.
Defogliato e eliminati i rami in eccesso
Verso metร settimana hanno cambiato marcia, crescono a vista d'occhio
+- 10ml/l fosforo
Ho aggiunto una lampada led da 1000watt per coprire piรน superfice
E le mele per aumentare la produzione di resina in risposta all'etilene rilasciato dalle mele

I always use dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0-6.6.
15.6.25:
2 litres containing:
โก 1ml Ecothrive Trace.
PH: 6.4
PPM: 454.
19.6.25:
