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. W9.D2(61) 🕶️🌞📉✂️🌱 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. W9.D3(62) 🔄💧➕🔙 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. W9.D4(63) 🌱🌿🌟🔍📦 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.

Week 8 is finally here! We changed up the nutrient feeding to the week 8 on the feed chart. I am diluting everything at a 50-40% rate to keep EC within acceptable ranges of 0.8 - 1.1 EC. I started adding Terpinator to the mix and I do notice a significant smell increase vs. without it. I am going to keep using this as I think it is a great supplement. I did figure out that even though on the bottle and on the specific feed chart, it says it is a light formula that will have minimal impact on EC and will not burn your plants at the recommended rates - it will! First time mixing up my nutrients with terpinator, I had to dilute it because the EC was too high. I put the recommended amount in my mix, and checked EC and low and behold it was high. The next feeding I did a 50% dilution rate and that seemed to be ok if you are diluting your other inputs properly to compensate. ALWAYS make sure your EC and PH are in check prior to fertigating your plants. I am watching the trichomes on a daily basis and am looking to harvest sometime this week or next. I plan to dry it in the tent it is growing in as it has AC and good airflow. Once they are done drying, they will get trimmed up, lightly vacuum sealed and stored in the freezer. Updates will be coming throughout the week!

Vegetative Steering 71f/60% 6:30 220 P1 6:49 440 P1 7:08 660 P1 7:27 880 P1 7:46 1100 P1 8:09 1320 P2 10:45 1540 P2 11:04 1760 P2 03:00 1320 P3 Day 14 Plant training shows most here. I do not like the look of a doubled topped plant.(will continue to do one top per 6 week Veg) Day 15 Secret sauce microbes 1ml per. Day 16 Tricantonol Spray(150ppm) Did that spray fix the sick plants? I think so 15 of 16 plants have preflowers. the 7 week veg plants are my favorite. 7 weeks is good if i will be topping twice The third fan was crucial to humidity control Day 17 Sprayed 6 plants(pictured right) with Jas wondering if these 6 will have stunted growth. Either they will have a stress response and halt root growth to early OR they grow normal but are a but frostier These 6 will be sprayed a second time during week 4 BEFORE the bud sites are medium sized. The other 6 will be sprayed once wk4 qnd once wk 5

Started watering 2x a day a few days into week 6. Starting today I will be watering 3x a day as two just wasn't enough. Plants looked like they wanted more. Outgrowing my 2x2 tent for sure. Underestimated coco as in soil I was able to fit 4 autos in this tent. Lower branches aren't getting much light as the top half a of plant just shot up like crazy last week. No room to bend the lower branches down. Not sure what to cut off at this point lol

Procede tutto egregiamente. Son riuscito a coprire la rete quasi per intero. La punta di alcune foglie si stanno ingiallendo, ma non è importante visto che siamo quasi vicino al raccolto. Inizio della seconda settimana senza nutriente per pulire le piante. Spera che la prossima settimana sia di raccolto. Saluti (A)narchici 🖤❤️ Doctor Cannas

16th Week Report 30/01/20 - 06/02/20 Had a look to trichomes and she was almost ready, consequently I didn't filled/changed reservoir from last week 06/02/20 Harvest Day! 2nd Harvest Wet Weight Is 440g! 💦💦 All the lower growth yielded more than the bigger colas from first harvest (350g Wet Weight) Nothing particular to say, trichomes are 5-10% 🔍 Amber, even the lower buds got some purple tones and while I was trimming them I sniffed the best weed flavour I ever felt in my life! The 2nd Harvest day was a week away from the 1st Harvest day! "Harvest Week" will be published when buds will be dry 😋 Last Update 06/02/20 See you guys ;)

Girls started to put on a little bit more weight this week. I'm going to up the nutes next Reservoir change. I'm really enjoying the way these girls are growing. Two of the girls are leaning more towards the OG Kush side whereas the third girl stinks like hell. She has an extremely strong fruity diesel smell. I can't wait to try that one. I'm glad I took clones off that girl.

DAY 50 Defoliated a bit, hoping to slow her down, but I'm writing this day 51 and she is 94cm now.. unstoppable! 😶 Pre-flower started day 40. So maybe we can walk thru the fire with our heads straight.. 🙏 DAY 52 99cm now. Watered with Biobizz, did a normal bloom dosage.. 💧 I will be raising calmag a bit now, EC of water will be 0,6-0,7. DAY 54 108cm :crane: DAY 55 114cm 😬 😬 😬 Watered with 4L nutrient solution + 1L BioEnhancer solution 💧 🐟 Removed some lower stems in the shades. Twisted the two long stems with shorter stems from the sides, so the shorter stems are more in the middle, the longer stems are more at the edges now. 😅 DAY 56 118cm.. :metal: Thinking about a ZZ Top logo.. maybe I will have to drastically snap the two branches.. I actually feel adventurous about it. 😎 ... 2 hours later: I did it, I snapped the stems (not completely). Let's pray for healing. 🙏 The stems make the ingwaz rune now, the seed. Oh so metaphorical. 😤 It represents taking time to grow & transform, peace, silence, bursting into manifestation. ✨ Which reminds me of the pollen in the freezer.. it's time now! 🐝 LED running at 100% now. Distance is between 25 and 40cm. 💚 Wishing you a great week! 😘 __________________________________________________ SET UP Mars Hydro LED TS1000 sponsored by @marshydrococo2 😘 https://www.mars-hydro.com/led-grow-lights/ts-1000-led-grow-light custom exhaust fan 270/320 m³/h 3x Garden High Pro fans 5W tap water EC 0,25 - adding Calmag (Plant Magic) to EC 0,4-0,6 - adding pH minus Bloom (AHH) to pH 6,5 biobizz Lightmix - later Plantaflor organic tomato soil 🍅

June 7th: We had a Thunderstorm roll through our neighborhood yesterday afternoon, with forty mph gusts and it almost knocked over a few plants, managed to grab what we had and prop up the stems for support. Hoping they weren't too stressed after it all!
