W9.D1(60)
🌸⏰🌟👀🔧 I think the time has come to transition to flowering. 🌸 As I embrace this new phase, I have never done this by switching the lights ⏰ 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. 🌟 This gradual approach will let us 👀 observe how our champion plant adapts to the changes with precision and care 🔧.
🌿🔪📉✂️🤲 Likewise, I did not immediately remove the huge mass that has grown. 🌿 Instead, I'm choosing to wield Occam's Razor in a gradual manner, wielding the 🔪 blade carefully, to ensure the vitality reduction of the plant is gradual 📉 and gentle, not abrupt and harsh ✂️. This method respects the living essence of the plant and aims for a cautious, nurturing approach 🤲, enhancing our chance to achieve the lush, vibrant bloom we're striving for.

🕶️🌞📉✂️🌱 Nothing special is happening. 🕶️ As the days continue, I am reducing the light 🌞 hours and gradually trimming the excess ✂️, maintaining a steady focus on nurturing our 🌱 champion.
🤔💡🌸🚫🌿 I'm not sure how much the stress from pruning parts of our girl might delay her transition to flowering. 🤔 It's a delicate balance of stress 💡 and growth, where each cut 🚫 might impact her readiness to 🌸 bloom.
🏠✂️🍀💪🔗 But in my cramped conditions, failing to trim the excess doesn't allow the strength to flow where it's needed. 🏠 Navigating through the tight spaces, each snip ✂️ boosts the vitality 💪 of the remaining parts, ensuring the most vigorous growth links 🔗 to the flourishing future we aim for.

🔄💧➕🔙 I've slightly tweaked the formula - removed B52 from H2O2 and added Bud Factor X. 🔄 In this ongoing experiment, B52's absence 💧 is temporary as I explore the effects of introducing ➕ Bud Factor X into our regimen.

🌱🌿🌟🔍📦 Bella is expanding, growing very robustly indeed. 🌱 With her vigorous 🌿 growth, she has already managed to find a gap on one side and attempted to grow out of the grow box. 🌟 Her ambition to explore beyond the 🔍 confines of her 📦 environment is both astounding and challenging.
🤔💡🌱👏🌟 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. 🤔 While pondering this, the innovative 💡 approach taken by @Chamomile shines a light on potential solutions, giving me the confidence that even in tight spaces, 🌱 greatness can be achieved, and indeed, this example deserves a round of 👏 applause for its efficiency and 🌟 brilliance.
W9.D5(64)
🕒🌞🌱👀🌸 The light day has already been shortened by 2.5 hours, and, it seems to me, we can witness this transition into flowering firsthand. 🕒 Having adjusted the 🌞 light schedule, the plant is now undergoing a significant shift, and we 🌱 observe this change as it unfolds, moving towards the flowering stage 🌸 right before our 👀 eyes.
W9.D6(65)
🌱📦🔄🌿💚 The grow progresses leisurely, filling the box with an ever-greater abundance of life. 🌱 As time 🔄 unfolds, our grow box 📦 becomes increasingly vibrant with 🌿 lush greenery, brimming with the 💚 essence of vitality.

Hello potheads, the reason to do this Journal is to register the grow results using a dirty cheap assembly, with low investment on equipment and hopefully without compromising results (LOL).
The main reason to do this is bc I have tested previously the Bulbs when my last COB Panel failed right after two years and became void of guarantee, also, pandemics in my country made every attempts to delivery it to a technician almost impossible, so we had to improvise .
Most of the used materials are accesible by home & groceries store (also online), the nutrients and seeds that are legacy from the previous project. The substrate is recycled and applied on 11 & 15lt Textpots. This is the reason also why there is a lite of lice or white fly plague on some plants that im trying to control with Aceite de Springhill by Anasac (locally branded paraffin oil).
About nutrients: The reason to add Carbo & Sugar Is to stimulate beneficial bacterial life on the used soil.This also helps photosynthesis and root development in earlier stages. (ref: https://bigbudsmag.com/marijuana-carbohydrates-boost-roots-buds-thc )
Related to the strains:
The G13 by GrowBarato Seeds: 2 Month Old AVG but they were germinated on 12/12 photoperiod (while waiting to cut other plants) , so they acted like revegged with the increase of hours. They're being trained with paper clips to become bushy & chonky units. (4/6 survived)
Santa Bilbo by Genethik: 1 Month Old AVG , but they were germinated on 12/12 photoperiod, the nutrient deficiencies that show are bc they stayed on a 500cc cup for too much time and required transplant urgently, and now are recovering and generating vegetal mass AGAIN . The Reason that there are 2 plants in one pot its bc one was less vigorous, cursed, and against all odds, are recovering from stress shock & different carencies . ( 4/5 survived)
Eleven Roses by Delicious Seeeds: 10 days Old (Germinated on 4/20/21 on 20/4 photoperiod). They r' fine, healthy Babies and growing on a steady rhytm . There are 8 because there are 2 spaces to fill , but also, they were backup in case all Santa Bilbo transplants failed miserably.
For the last ones i need to select whose be transplanted to soil but that's a problem for future me, not me rn.
I will VEG for the entire month of MAY in order to fill the spaces of the grow tent and try to update this diary at least once a week. Probably weekends.
Finally, if there is something that it's hard to understand by choice of words or gramatical error , happy to receive feedback bc English its not my first language.
Kind Regards.

so far fully satisfied. the plant looks strong and a nice color. the first hairs are noticed. I notice signs of some parasites on the leaves, up to now I have only found about 2-3 small spiders clearly visible to the naked eye, and perhaps some other specimens of whiteflies. I accept advice on how to prevent an infestation in the best way.

End of 2nd week of flower update:
Hooray I have buds!
Little buds starting forming about a week ago and they have put on a little weight.
Starting adding bloom booster IE; Bud Explosion from Mega-crop.
Couple leaves on plant#2 shows signs of calcium deficiency, so I've been adding Cal+Mg Pro
My LST skills are a tad lacking, this is my first attempt so its not too bad, should of started training a bit earlier.
other than that Girls look healthy and happy :).

🌿 Woche 3
Eine weiter recht normale Woche.
🌱 Wachstum
Beide Damen haben einen schönen Wuchs und Grünton.
Die anfängliche leichte Verbrennung hat sich perfekt rausgewachsen.
Nun sollte die Livingsoil den Job super ausführen können.
Noch sehen sie beide auch sehr identisch aus.
💧 Only Water
Ich habe mich dazu entschieden, meiner Livingsoil ein wenig mehr unter die Arme zu greifen.
Ein Grow-Kollege hat mir verschiedene Dinge empfohlen, die man machen kann.
Ich habe mich dann für 2 Mittel entschieden, die mein Only Water Experiment nicht aushebeln:
🔹 Effektive Mikroorganismen von Multikraft
🔹 Mycorrizae von R&R
Beide Mittel gelten nicht als Dünger für die Pflanze, sondern als Booster für den Boden.
Dementsprechend kann man diesen Run immer noch als Only Water bezeichnen 💦✅
📟 Blumat und Gießen
Ich freunde mich immer mehr mit dem Blumat Digital an.
Ich wüsste nicht, wie ich ohne ihn durch den Mulch den Gießzeitpunkt ermitteln sollte.
Rumwühlen oder den Topf heben ist leider keine Option ❌.
Deswegen bin ich wirklich froh, dass es ihn gibt 🙏.
Ich gieße weiter nach Fahrplan:
🕒 Alle paar Tage bei 110 mbar
🚿 2 l Wasser
Diesmal habe ich etwas EM Bodenbuster mitgemischt.
Damit hab ich dann den Boden mit zusätzlichen Mycorrizae geimpft.
☀️ Wetter
Wenn man bedenkt, dass es tagelang locker über 33 °C heiß war 🌡️🔥
und ich dazu keinerlei RLF-Unterstützung hatte 💨❌
– sehen beide Damen top aus ✅.
Manchmal denke ich: „Oh Gott, geht das gut?“ 😅
Aber ich lass es drauf ankommen.
Und bis jetzt läuft alles nach Plan 🛸✨
🎶 The Grow must go on! 🌱🔥

Days 49–55 | June 23–29
The tent’s getting noticeably more fragrant - those complex notes of citrus, pine, and cardamom are now joined by a sharper diesel layer when the buds are disturbed. Buds are visibly denser this week, especially on the main colas. Stacking is steady, and trichomes are beginning to cloud ever so slightly, though most remain clear. No amber yet.
Lower leaf yellowing has continued - older fans fading out slowly - but now I’m starting to see yellowing creep up into the mid and upper canopy. Nothing aggressive, but it’s definitely progressed since last week. Fan leaves are still perky, and sugar leaves remain healthy, so I don’t suspect toxicity or major imbalance - just a steady drain of mobile nutrients as the plant puts all energy into flowers.
Fed with full nutrients mid-week (2L: 3 mL Micro / 1.5 mL Grow / 3.75 mL Bloom, pH 6.4), and removed a couple of fully yellowed fans from underneath. Soil has stayed evenly moist with good bag weight - I've been careful not to overdo watering volume to avoid damp pockets. RH is steady around 50–55%, with temps hovering ~25°C. VPD is within range.
No signs of foxtailing, stress, or pest pressure. Canopy is even under the trellis, light at ~36 cm above tops. Still tracking macros regularly - trichomes developing well.
Flush date is locked in for Week 11, based on travel plans - not trichome maturity. For now, the feed rhythm continues, and I’ll ride the line as long as I can to bulk up the flowers before transition.
Final swell ahead. Holding the line.

Day 50- All looking quiet good so far, no complaints. Fairly easy grow once you set up your plants training in veg. Only minor defoliation here and there when needed to expose bud sites to the light. Happy with the girls at the moment.

¡Primera semana y seguimos con buena positividad! Las plántulas ya empiezan a crecer y a abrirse, se ven fuertes y ojalá sigan así. Todavía están dentro del propagador para mantener una buena humedad, ya que en esta etapa las raíces apenas están formándose. La mayor parte del agua la absorben por las hojas, así que no se necesita tanto riego, sino más bien mantener alta la humedad en estas primeras semanas.

During week 7(bloom) like corona lock down wasn't enough we had major weather change. Temp dropped significantly and humidity levels increased to 70%(outdoors RH).
As far this goes on it is necessary to use a strong dehumidifier inside tent for half an hour every 2 hours as once the lights are off the humidity climbs 65%+ without it.
Feed remained the same.
GG# 1 looks like most of its pistils are orange so in the end of the week I ll have a look with the microscope and might start flushing it.
