This week in my grow room has been full of developments. First, I added additional lights because I couldn't get the relative humidity (RH) under control. I ordered a dehumidifier, but it will take a few weeks to arrive, so I had to find a temporary solution. I also emptied the reservoir and refilled it with fresh water and nutrients. I secured the net to ensure it stays in place under tension. In two days, I plan to switch the light schedule to 12/12, hoping the plants will stretch a bit during the switch to avoid having overly large buds that aren't evenly spread. Seventeen hours later, I decided to keep the lights on a 16/8 schedule for a few more days. The plants are starting to show signs of something happening, so I want to see how they develop. I will keep you updated on the progress. Then, I received a message from my supplier that the dehumidifier would arrive today. Great news—time to spice things up! On June 2nd, the dehumidifier arrived, and I managed to get my Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) to 1.17! This is fantastic news, and I'm very curious how this will affect water usage. The dehumidifier seems pretty powerful, with water literally dripping out of the hose, so I'm no longer worried about high humidity levels. It's a shame it doesn't have a range setting, but I couldn't expect more for the price. I'm considering ordering the Dimlux Auxbox to set a working range and separate day/night settings. Thankfully, the dehumidifier has an auto-restart function after a power loss. On June 3rd, the night is over, and while my values are now more stable, I haven't noticed any significant differences in water absorption. What I do notice is that the pots seem much drier. The difference in leaf temperature compared to the room temperature has increased slightly, now about a 2˚C difference, indicating that evaporation has increased somewhat. Despite the dehumidifier cooling the air, the room temperature has risen. This is explainable since dry air heats up faster than humid air. The CO2 heater is also running significantly longer. So, although there are no immediately visible differences, there are indeed some changes. Today is the last short night of 8 hours, and tomorrow will be the first night of 12 hours. I am contemplating doing a 10-hour night first and will decide later tonight. After closely reviewing the video footage, I noticed some divergent colors on the leaves. My pH is currently 6.4, which I had adjusted to compensate for the low pH last week—a foolish decision in coco, I know. I plan to make videos of each individual plant for my records to investigate further. The light is too intense to inspect them up close, so the videos will help me get a better look.

## Week 10 Update: Flowering Phase Transition 🌿🌟 ### 🌱 First Signs of Flowering 🌱 Welcome to Week 10! The transition to the flowering phase is well underway. We’re starting to see some promising developments as the plants move from vegetative growth into the flowering stage. --- ### 🌿 Current Plant Status 🌿 **Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze 🌞** - **Growth:** The plant has reached a robust and healthy canopy. The stretch phase is noticeable, with the plant reaching its full height. - **Flowering Progress:** Early signs of flowering are starting to appear. Look for the first signs of pistils or calyxes in the coming days. **Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush 🌿** - **Growth:** This plant is maintaining its dense and bushy structure, which is great for future bud development. - **Flowering Progress:** Initial flowering traits are emerging. The plant is slowly transitioning into the flowering phase with early bud formation visible. **Blueberry Muffin 🥞** - **Growth:** The canopy remains strong and dense, ready to support upcoming flower production. - **Flowering Progress:** The plant is beginning to show its first signs of flowering. Calyxes and pistils are starting to form as it adjusts to the light cycle. --- ### 🌱 Nutrient and Supplement Update 🌱 **Current Nutrient Regimen:** - **Power Roots (PLAGRON):** 1 ml/l to keep enhancing root health and overall plant vigor. - **Pure Zym (PLAGRON):** 0.5 ml/l to continue supporting root health and improve nutrient uptake. - **Terra Bloom (PLAGRON):** 2 ml/l to supply essential nutrients for bud development. - **Power Buds (PLAGRON):** 0.5 ml/l to stimulate bud formation and increase flower density. - **Orgatrex (Bio Tabs):** 2 ml/l for a balanced nutrient profile. **Feeding Schedule:** - Adjusting the nutrient mix to support the early stages of flowering and ensure the plants are getting balanced nutrition for optimal flower growth. ### 🌱 Environmental Conditions 🌱 **Temperature & Humidity:** - Conditions are being carefully monitored and adjusted to support flowering and prevent issues such as mold or nutrient deficiencies. **Training & Defoliation:** - Continuing with LST (low-stress training) and selective defoliation to maintain an even canopy and ensure light penetration to all parts of the plant. --- ### 🌸 Looking Ahead 🌸 As we enter Week 10, the flowering phase is becoming more apparent. The first signs of flowers are emerging, and the plants are adjusting to this crucial stage. Over the next few weeks, we’ll continue to monitor their progress closely and make adjustments as needed to ensure healthy flower development. Stay tuned for next week’s update to see how the flowering process is progressing and to check out any new developments in the grow! Happy growing! 🌟💚

Need to left the plant alone for a few days while we were on vacations but everything turned out fine. Hoping the new plant will grow fast enough to catch the speed with other plants.

Kannabia said they had a surprise for me and they delivered! She handled the topping, massive defoliation multiple times and aggressive training. She thanked me and gave me quite the return! Just so happens to be one of my absolute favorite tastes! So thank you so much Kannabia, for this amazing treat! We will definitely enjoy it, to its fullest! 😻😁 Thanks for peepin this lady out! 😁😉😻🤘

So far so good. She is growing very nicely. Grew about 8 inches this week. She has already been topped and I usually start some LST about a week after topping the plant. She recovered from the topping nice and quick and started growing again right away.

Hola a todos!! Perdón por la brevedad es que ando con poco tiempo. Pero explicare brevemente, la situación. La planta en el drenaje he notado el ph muy alto, volvi a hacer un pequeño lavado, y luego de eso, a los 2 días volví a regar con el 50% de las dosis, por última vez, luego seguira solo con agua. Espero la semana próxima explicar mejor como viene.😬😬😬😬

Bueno familia ya finalizamos, estas red hot cookies son una cepa bestial. La verdad que el secado muy bien 7 días en Malla y a los botes, 45% humedad y 23 grados es la temperatura ambiental que han tenido en el secado. 4 plantas que se cultivaron en un armario de 1.20 pero estos ejemplares solo ocuparon 80x80. Así que ya está cultivada esta gran variedad que es novedad este 2020, americana de la familia Cookies, la Tropicanna Cookies (Girl Scout Cookies x Tangie) con un porcentaje de thc entre los 17/25%, una bomba. Que decir de Agrobeta, lo peta 💪 en cuanto a nutrientes. Un saludo y buenos humos.

Tag 64 sie ist immer noch am Stretchen, aber so langsam entwickeln sich auch ihre Blüten immer mehr. Heute hat sie wieder eine Ordentliche Portion Wasser mit Dünger bekommen, und jeden 2 Tag Wasser ohne. Tag 69 Heute haben wir angefangen Plagron Green Sensation und Canna PK 13/14 hinzuzugeben und werden langsam mit dem NPK Dünger aufhören. Wir wechseln von dem NPK 10-4-7 zu einem NPK 3,5-6-6 da die Pflanzen nicht mehr so viel Stickstoff brauchen.

Day 17 (starting Aug. 2nd afternoon): Will water them with a lightly enhanced RO water that was imprinted with frequencies via a PEMF coli for about one day when their day starts. After being away over the extended weekend, on day 20 ladies have grown very nicely. I topped nr# 1 and #2 after I took the photos and will give them a bit of water with Root Complex to compensate for the shock later. Sadly my brilliant control equipment has crashed completely and will not even take a photo currently. Yikes. Hope I can get it back alive this week again. Also turned the left light up by another 20%, now running at 40 W, and lifted it a bit. Eye inspection told me lights were lower here and ladies can get a bit more. At the end of their day 20, they seem to have survived the topping well. I managed to cut right above the new nodes which are already growing. Ladies are at 20 cm height before going to sleep. Day 21 shows great growth again, with lady #1 being at 22 cm now and lady #2, while being a bit less tall, extremely good side branch development. I hope that the rearranged lighting on the left side of the tent will make #1 grow a bit bushier too. Besides from that, I am really happy I tested Hesi HPE. I had such enormous success with room plants that made me want to see how Cannabis plants react to it. It will not add much to salinity, so I dared to add it quite early. While the photos are processed to compensate the lighting, I did not add much to saturation, so leaves are indeed of a very vivid, luscious green and ladies looking extremely healthy. Speed of growth has increased too as the added video shows. It also tells me lighting is enough – they are turning their leaves away right at the end of their day. I am really uncertain if I will change to usual Hesi grow fertiliser at all … Did a bit of LST to the lowest branches of lady #2 which spread almost to the border of her pot. Both temporary girls will leave the tent soon, so that the competitors will have maximum space to develop. Day 22, end of week 3: Outside girl went to get fresh air from now on. Wishing her luck, good weather and not a single male in the vicinity. I rearranged the lights and positioned them a bit higher. First preflower signs appeared on the ladies, so I will change the lighting phase when I return next week. Currently, I have them at 18/6, 45 cm above heads, with 80% running to a total of 80 W. I wasn’t so lucky topping #2. She has only one "top side" branch now … But grows extremely well, so ok!

I'm really proud of this for a second grow! For the amount of space and the light that I'm using, i feel like my buds should stack better but at least I have real goals to meet for the next grow. I'm not looking to get lbs, but I do want great quality flowers that are visually stunning. I would DEFINITELY recommend Native Sun Genetics to anyone, beginner to advanced! This isn't a hi-yielder to start with anyway, but it's still one to look for!

The Wonder Pie were showing signs of deficiencies so I added 2ml/L of liquid worm castings to see if it helps, also top-dressed diatomaceous earth to help get rid of the fungus gnats. Will top dress the powdered nutrients again in 1-2 weeks. Also foliar sprayed them with Sugar Candy Syrup to help with the deficiencies. I'll go with bigger plants next time because I think I won't get much from these smaller plants. Other than that, just waiting for them to do their thing and hopefully harvest in 5 weeks or so.

It’s more like week 7 of flower I was slack keeping up with updating my grow diary so I’ll try and fill in the missing time.
