Day 22, 01.05.2024
- Not much to do but to further guide Erika II by imposing LST for better light usage of lower leaves
Day 23, 02.05.2024
- Again a slow day. Just put in some wooden pins to provide some more light to the lower leaves
- soil is again getting bone dry. Since I only water with about 10% of the pot volume I think it might be time already tomorrow, maybe in the afternoon / evening
- also raised the lights to ~30cm above canopies again
- Erika II is catching up in height - maybe I can remove the lifting box in a couple of days
Day 24, 03.05.2024
- decided to give the ladies some water inkl. a fertilizer cocktail (~500ml each)
- bought a couple of longer wooden sticks to guide the leaves & branches. May install a scrog net just for better organization/ handling
- removed 2 leaves in total
- also I am now positive: Erika I is definitely going into flowering
Day 25, 04.05.2024
- Erika II catched up to Erika I in height so I removed the lifting piece. Now both plants are leveled on top and bottom (more or less)
- Decided to remove some leaves. I removed every leaf that a) pointed inwards plus b) covered other parts of the plant
- soil is again getting dry. Thinking about watering them in the morning
Day 26, 05.05.2024
- Gave a round of water & nutrition: 500ml each
Day 27, 06.05.2024
- Judging from the timelapse of the past days (see video!) I recognized: 500ml each second day might not be enough (mind you: it is only ~10% of the pot volume). Also after feeding the growing seems to explode :D (I fed for example on 05.05., ~17:00 hours). So I decided to give another round of drinks this evening (400ml each inkl. Fertilizer) at 20:45 which is around 24h after the last feeding.
- Just realized: I did not measure their heights in quite some time. At end of week 4 both are clocking in at 27cm from top of soil.
- Both showing now that they are ladies clearly - so I declare "End of Veggie" Day.
- Removed 1 small bud on the lower part of Erika II. Also removed 1 leaf at Erika I that pointed inwards & blocked light.
- Raised the lights to match 30cm above canopies again
Day 28, 07.05.2024
- not much to do but to watch the ladies explode in height: they gained about 4cm in 2 days :)
- watering is going to happen tomorrow
This day also concludes week 4.

The weight of these buds is unknown, but the Masters of this site will be visually approximate. I have all the confidence in their knowledge in elementary physics.

Day 31 veg…
Some these girls are looking mutated 🤨
I have really low humidity which i will correct with a Humidifier tomorrow…
What are these mutants coming from is it heat stress ???
And also the spots on my girls ?
I have been on holiday for a few days so made a pre mixed feed for the girls for my freind to water…
Im not aure if the badly mutated plants are worth pulling or growing out still?? Anybody got experience with them ??
Could it be down to really low humidity
Girls will be getting transplanted tomorrow..
Check my other cuttings diary
Temp 25 day 19 night
Humidity high 45 low 20

Day 79: Second Grow
We've decided against using additional nutrients and have completely stopped fertilizing. The light cycle has been reduced to 11 hours, and we're already starting to give them cooler water. Starting Monday, I will be watering with ice water to stress the plants further, aiming for higher yield, more terpenes, and increased frost. The adjustment to the light cycle should also help the plants ripen evenly.
The lights are hanging about 20 cm above the buds, which are getting thicker every day, soaking up the light intensely. In about a week, most of the plants should be ready for harvest. We plan to stop watering them for about 100 hours before harvest. During this period, I'll place ice cubes on the soil to shock the roots one last time.
48 hours before harvest, I will turn off the lights, giving the plants two days of darkness. After this period, the plants will be cut and hung to dry.

I think about the fact that it is no longer necessary to cut leaves. I cut it a lot, but I notice that many people cut a bunch of leaves at one time, although somewhere I read no more than 10% at a time.
When I gave fertilizers, I always diluted them with water even more to reduce ppm
Day 68: I added cal-mag to the diet because the leaves are really turning yellow from the bottom. 0.5 ml
Day 70: I added 1 ml cal-mag

The plants continue to grow although slowly. I turned the Gavita back on this week and even at 42 inches it seems to be too much light at full power because although they're getting adequate nutrients, the leaves appear to be showing signs of damage to the chlorophyll pigments. I'd like to splurge and get the adapter and controller so that I can dim the light and slowly increase the intensity to allow for a more gradual photo acclimation period, but I will probably hold off until my next run. I've also considered adding supplemental Co2 to help the plants more effectively tolerate and take advantage of the light intensity, but it seems like a big expense for an uncertain benefit considering all of the other variables that are sub-optimal. Perhaps I'll give those Excellofizz Co2 pucks a try. Someday I'll build sealed grow room with automated Hvac, feeding, and Co2 enrichment but for now I'll soldier on and hope for the best as the flip to 12-12 approaches.
More to come next week!
