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 girls have gone through a lot this week 馃槵After a couple of days of LST, I let them recover for a few days. Once they were looking perky again, I decided to top all three.
Day 31 - topped the girls after some deliberation. I had been undecided, ultimately figured that it was best for my situation, whether or not I decide to use my DIY scrog screen.
For those unsure of when to top, 5 nodes or true leaf sets seems to work for me. Find the shoot at the very top, make sure it鈥檚 got some small shoots on either side started, and snip! It鈥檚 that easy. Topping will disrupt the hormones being distributed through the plant instead of the top, and force your plants energy and growth to the lower branches. Not to mention you will now have two main tops growing instead of one 馃槑 Give the plants some time to recover before doing anything major again, and you should he able to see your plants get bushier instead of taller.
Once they were topped I bent and worked all the stems and branches between my fingers making sure to get all of them. As you can tell from the main stalk, the twisting and bending works, she thicc already!
I also put their wire ties back on and bent all three over as far as I could get them to go comfortably before feeling like they would snap. This was a lot of stress for these girls, but they have shown they have a great stress response, and recover quickly.
Can鈥檛 wait till the weekend, my big tent will be cleaned and ready to go from my last harvest, they are growing so fast! Happy Gardening 馃嚚馃嚘鉂わ笍馃尡馃槑馃挩

Week 2 has gone just as well as I'd like it too!
I had an accident during the week where I had dropped a sticky bug trap on one of my girls, this led to me accidentally ripping off a fan leaf and a half, but she seems to have come out of it just fine! (Thankfully).
I have been feeding 1/3 strength nutes the past few feeds, stepping it up from 1/4.
I will be watering until I see runoff from now on to prevent nutrients from building up in the coco.
Update(day 15, 4/12/20)
Today I purchased a new oscillating fan, co2 bags and a new hygrometer that hooks up to my phone and shows me stats.
The girls have been putting in a lot of work over the past 24 hours.
I also had a Purple Punch photo seed sprout today which I may be turning into a mother plant. I will be starting a diary for this girl too.
Update (Day 16 5/12/20)
Second purple punch photo popped today, going to keep 1 inside and give the other to my mom to take care of.
The girls got their first 1/4 dose of calmag today fed at 6ph due to all the nutrients settling there.( I do have ph +/- but I'm going to try run this whole grow at 5.8-6.2.
Update (Day 17 6/12/20)
Plants seem happy today.
Fan leaves producing a the pre-existing nodes are starting to shoot out quite rapidly.
Unfortunately, my streets power went out today for ~90 minutes, I opened the tent, windows and doors to get any light in I could, thankfully the power came back on shortly after.
I fed the girls today with very little run-off(I'm trying to perfect the amount of water they need).
Update (Day 18 7/12/20)
The girls have jumped up over night!
I wont be feeding today as I'd like the coco to dry out quite a bit more.
Update (Day 19 8/12/20
Gave the girls a small feed today with very little run-off
Everything seems to be going well so far, I'm very thankful!
Update (day 20 9/12/20)
Everything is going pretty well today.
I will not be feeding as the increased humidity has kept the coco more moist than usual.
Will be feeding full strength nutes tomorrow!
Thanks for stopping by, HMU with any questions or tips you have.

OG Fun and I are enjoying this lazy rainy Sunday together. I was going to move her to my side yard with the other ladies, but I love looking out at her鈥搒he has kind of become my muse. She鈥檚 branching out beautifully and has a classic Christmas tree shape. As she's getting plenty of sun and growing healthy, I鈥檓 going to keep her up here for the time being.
Her pre-flowers are slowly starting to disappear, but no other changes to report this week. I'm using the same fertilizer blend (per gallon):
- Soy hydrolysate (12-0-0) - 2.43 grams (160 ppm nitrogen (77 ppm from soy hydrolysate + 27 ppm from liquid fertilizer + 56 ppm from potassium nitrate))
- Liquid Fertilizer (4-10-3) - 2.6 grams (30 ppm phosphorus - measured with a cup on a scale)
- Potassium Nitrate (13.5-0-46.2) - 1.56 grams (175 ppm potassium (158 ppm from potassium nitrate + 17 ppm from liquid fertilizer))
- Soy hydrolysate, liquid fertilizer, and potassium nitrate are combined together with no noticeable precipitation
- Micronutrient liquid fertilizer (0.75% Mg, Mn, Ca, Zn, Cu, B, Ni, Fe) - 15 ml (delivered separately on a different day to avoid precipitation when blended with the 4-10-3)

Comenzamos la floraci贸n con estas chicas, estoy muy encantado con ellas la verdad para que les voy a mentira, muy ansioso de empezar a ver sus flores, pretendemos fertilizar solo hasta la semana 5 por ahora. Estamos solo con 1 riego diario estuvimos de 1L ahora lo subimos 2L y lo recibieron muy bien.
Algo en particular es que estamos probando cannaboost folear, se lo estamos dando 3 veces por d铆a a la planta hace 10 d铆as y no vamos a parar hasta el d铆a 21 de floraci贸n para luego cambiar a dosis radicular, estamos haciendo esto para economizar cannaboost y comparar resultados con su dosis full que ya la eh testeado.
A las nenas se les hizo super cropping (en mi instagram pueden ver un tutorial @chocolopeison) hace 7 d铆as a las cuales tambi茅n le agregamos unos soportes y hoy ya la pasamos a floraci贸n recuperadas con una gran defoliaci贸n de bajos. Ahora esperaremos d铆a 14 para hacer otra defoliaci贸n, super cropping y guiado de malla que pronto estaremos instalando.
La iluminaci贸n estamos con 540W de qb (2 @heavengrowlight y 1 @meijiu)

I am harvesting Critical x Animal cookies today. She was stunned in the beginning due to a error on my part with a solution that was too strong. Plus she went through a week of neem oil treatments in vegging when I had a outbreak of 2 different mites in my garden. So everything got treated then. When she was growing right she grew great under the Hortibloom Solux 350. So she is comming down today. Her number is being called on the cannatrol. Plus she is ready. I will at least get a good little sample of this bud from this grow. It looks really good. Thank you Ripper Seeds, and Hortibloom. 馃馃徎馃馃徎馃挭馃徎鉂勶笍馃尡

Despues de leer creo que el problema puede ser de los LEDs+Calcio, a帽ado calmag y bajo potencia hasta 250w, ahora esperar. La planta que no tenia problema empieza a tenerlo.

Many of the buds starting showing seeds 馃槥. There must have been more pollen released from the nanners than I had originally thought. The only stress I can think of is light stress. Either light leaks, light intensity, or perhaps a combination of both. All other conditions have been damn near optimal. I guess it could be genetics as well but I'm giving Crop King the benefit of the doubt. Its a shame too because they were just starting to show their fall colors and it seems like another 2 weeks is all I needed.
I will start the flush and as soon as I can get the runoff EC below .2 I'll unplug the light and let them dry in the dark for 48 hours before I chop them down.
Thanks for stopping by!
