Training This week was the start of the LST and, with that, a continuous gentle defoliation to ensure that the new shoots are getting a lot of direct light. Leaves (especially sun sails) growing over new shoots are either pressed down or, if necessary, removed. When LSTing, I always focus on gently bending the branches in the desired direction every day, without disregarding the natural structure of the plant. Once they reach a length of about 5 cm, I start to secure them with training stakes(*1). This way, the risk of damage (as well as overall stress for the plant) is kept to a minimum. Setup The lamp is now at max. intensity and min. distance (35 cm) at around 650 - 700 PPFD. (*1) I built the training stakes myself to match my needs (enough length, natural material, no sharp edges, slightly downward facing angle). Pests + Living Soil + Environment The combination of nematodes and sand seemed to work immediately, because the number of Sciaridae quickly dropped to about 2 - 3 adult flies per day. Still, on day 40 (8 days after adding the sand) I removed it again, because: - it was rather intended to support the nematodes (fewer new larvae), - the Sciaridae had fallen to a level that seemed acceptable, - it would keep the soil too anaerobic and moist in the long term. The decision also had a positive effect on the RH(*2) (approx. 10% increase). (*2) Relative humidity fluctuated slightly from day to day, but generally remained around 50%. Although removing the sand (at the end) of this week increased the RH, I only evaluated this ‘new average' RH from the following week onwards. Environment + Plants The stabilization of the environmental conditions and the increase in light, have allowed the plants to grow intensively this week. In the beginning, the relative humidity was still a little lower than I would like, but acceptable since the plants were still quite small and didn't need to be watered as often (large amount of substrate with corresponding buffering effect to keep the plants healthy. Plants During the seedling phase, I observed slight deficiency symptoms that at first glance looked like a nutrient problem (potassium, calcium, ...?). Since I cannot control the nutrient content as precisely as I could with a hydroponic system e.g., and the damage was manageable and occurred during a phase in which I also stressed the plants by allowing them to become too dry, I simply ignored it... with success. Since the system has been back in balance, there have been no further incidents of this kind. *Gorilla Z Auto was 20 cm tall, Mimosa Cake Auto 12 cm. (Pre-)Flower I have also been able to observe pre-flowering, which is consistent with my other observations. [Autoflowering genetics in particular do most of their growing during this phase, which lasts just under two weeks, roughly starting from week 3 - 5.]

Just steady growing. Day #84 1.5l of water with nutrients. Last time we gave watering with nutrients. Day #87 2l water without nutrients

Week 3 By week three, the plant begins to show a clearer structure. Leaf size increases slightly, and the stem thickens just enough to support the growing foliage. Internodal spacing remains tight, reinforcing its compact growth pattern. The plant still lags behind others in height and spread, but its overall appearance remains healthy and controlled. There are no visual deficiencies, and growth continues steadily, if modestly.

Coming on well start of week 4 today 👌

Easy strain to grow, it is true to it's name and grows some big buds. You will need to tie them up or use a trellis to keep them from dropping. Overall I am satisfied with my results with over 2 ounces per plant.

As stated above, was an okay grow experience, but not too hyped with the end product. Very fluffly buds, with quite the cheesy smell to them. Will see how they will turn out after a few weeks curing

That long stretch you see with sativas, probably will stretch for 4 weeks like the Chocwah did. Kiyomi is already setting bud sites - this choc doesn't even have hairs yet.

2017-09-11. Kl 12.00. Week 4 starts. I have cleaned the whole room for the new week and gave the girls water and nutes. Added videos and pics. Girl is 21 cm high. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-12. Kl 10.00. New pics and video. She has grown from 21 cm to 25 cm in 23 hours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-15. KL 10.00. New pics and video. The girl is 30 cm high and has grown 9 cm the last 4 days. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-16. Kl 10.00. She is growing like crazy and needs to get defoliated every morning. I added 2 new videos and gave her 2 liters of water and nutes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everything is healthy as it could be right now. The heater made such a big difference I couldn't be happier with how these are growing at this point hopefully it keeps up. Been removing fan leaves here and there but I'm trying to hold off until day 21 and I might give them all a pretty heavy leaf strip. I read something saying defoliate heavy on day 21 and 42 to increase yields so I might give that a shot. These lights are the real deal I got a meter and even tho I barely know how to read it I'm getting much better canopy penetration and the flexibility of having 4 separate units instead of 2 is going to come in handy. Soon I will put all the shorter plants on one side and tall on the other and adjust the lights accordingly. If anyone is interested in these lights or a tent or green buzz liquids or rain science grow bags you can use the code bangdang for 10%. Pretty much everything I use will be 10% off with the code so if you want to grow the bangdang use the code. This Corona virus has hit around here and I just want to remind everyone again to do their part and try to stay out of crowded spaces, wash your hands and take care of eachother. It's a worldwide pandemic everyone can relate to and the best way to beat it with the least possible damage seems to be to isolate yourself since younger people can carry it without any symptoms. It can be easy to transmit it to your parents or grandparents that might have a weaker immune system. Better safe than sorry.

Going into flower on 4/10. Plants have been growing and inch or two every day. Suspect front middle and back middle to be males.

Hola! Bueno, qué decir! La planta ha crecido a niveles que nunca esperé. Intenté enredar las ramas con la red, pero es difícil. Logré alejarla un poco de la lámpara pero no se me ocurre cómo. Hice el cambio de agua y empezamos con la primera semana de flora. Estimo 8 semanas en total de flora, en principio. También corté las ramas inferiores. Gracias por seguirme!

Throughout the week I top dressed each with 3 tbsp of dry fert and more super soil. Giving em cal mag water also just because my other set of plants want it as well. Bit of discoloration throughout the canopy, since these girls only got 3-4 weeks left I'm not worried. Might try a different combo of dry ferts with a higher P/K for flowering since they went through veg no prob. Got another cycle of Mephisto illuminautos on week 1 so I'll post those for my next grow. Think the Gelato will be ready to be pulled in 1-2 weeks and the NL/LSD in 3-4. peace

Screen is set at 11 inches plan on flowering at 20 inches at second trellis net, today went in defoliated and topped a few and made a few more clones deciding if I should fill with 5gals or 3 gals

The girls were harvested at 94 days. I didn't weigh it, but I believe they yielded around 30 to 40g for both. I am very satisfied and happy to have achieved a very good result, being my first time growing. A cycle closes and a new will come soon with new soil assembly, new genetics and more experience. Thanks to Shiva for tending and blessing the crop, and to all friends here who have sent messages of support and encouragement. I gained another family. Happy 2023 to all, may it be a year of much evolution and beautiful flowers. Om Shanti

Bushing out nicely! I probably should have adjusted the LST to allow them to grow taller but they were responding nicely so I kept them pinned and adjusted every few days. Finally started ph’ing the water to around 6. Water is tap, not measuring TDS or adding liquid nutes at this point. The soils transplant was done with 50/50 mix of Natures Living Soil and soil, botto 1/3 of pot and remaining 2/3 soil.

This plant was going to be outstanding Until I stressed it out w a hug move
