Last week I went with a real heavy defoliation and couldn't be happier the plant showed no stress what so ever and buds showed a good growth with a lot of frost coming in nicely

Ricordi di un bellissimo esemplare. La ragazza è stata coltivata indoor ed è riuscita a riempire un growbox 4x4 da sola,con semplice e leggero LST. Giù il cappello per questa buonissima qualità di Paradise Seeds!

More photos are coming... but for now, I'm super SUPER pleased with this grow! And I'm glad I only grew one plant in my 2x4 tent - she filled it up! Had I tried for 2 plants, I don't think the results would have been as stunning. From now on, growing in DWC and with the lights I have, I will limit the tent to one plant only... Next up in the tent will be an experiment... Going to be topping/cloning a Captain Future photoperiod and growing it in DWC while the "mother" and her sister go outside for the summer. I'm excited to see just how much I got from this grow... I don't weigh wet buds because it's stupid (imho) to weigh wet buds that are still attached to the stems and branches ... so check back in about a week for the dry weight...

***** Week 7 Veg - January 16/21 to 22/21 ***** Week 7 will be their last week being able to take them out of the tent😟 SCROG netting going in on the weekend ahead. Not really a lot to report this week as the girls are doing well and I am just wanting their side branches to grow longer to help filling in the canopy anyway. Performed more LST this week and bending over the branches daily. Didn’t do any HST this week, will once the net is in and I have a better visual of how the branches need to bend. They have come a long ways over the last 2 weeks when you look back at pictures. They have filled out with more side branching and other than battling a little purple striping on the main stems they seem pretty happy. Leaf colour is good and should be in good shape for the flip soon. Will go through all of week 8 before flipping so hopefully week 9 will be transition week and week 10 the start of flower.......have to get through next week first though😀👍 Switching over to tap water again. I have been struggling with calcium and magnesium deficiencies on all grows for the last year. I can’t seem to get the right amount added back to the RO water I use in all feedings. So running with straight water again now. Ppm coming out is 325 so I will work with that. Going to explore my own RO system in the house rather than bottled water, a system that adds back calcium, magnesium, and iron. It’s been flowing okay for the first week and will continue on for now. Using RO water I have been feeding full strength on the nutrients and have been working on backing them down a bit to compensate for the starting point of 325 now. They have continued to be fed once a week roughly and supplemented with calmag and microbes. Little more detail....... Jan 16/21, Day 43 Veg - 3L each of full line at full strength in RO water - 1150ppm and 5.8pH given to the girls - didn’t add any other nutes other than IPP line. Jan 17/21, Day 44 Veg - dry out day - pulled down all the girls again tonight to train them outwards. - side branching doing very well on Candyland girls. Jan 18/21, Day 45 Veg - 3L for each girl today with tap water and CalMag @ 1ml, Microbes @ 2ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1.5ml - 700ppm and 5.7pH is what that works out to. - have to use a considerable amount of pH down to adjust the tap water, over 6ml in 16L Jan 19/21, Day 46 Veg - measured the girls today and Candyland1 is 14” tall and CL2 is 13” tall. They were topped already😀 - dry out day for the girls. Jan 20/21, Day 47 Veg - 2.5L each with plain tap water - 295ppm and 5.8pH. - all the girls are looking big and bushy today.......they are ready for flip soon. Jan 21/21, Day 48 Veg - dry out day for the girls. Jan 22/21, Day 49 Veg - pulled all the girls down again......repeating the same LST each day manually rather than tying down for now. - this should be water day but leaving for today as I am going to lolipop the lower branches and a heavier leaf stripping tomorrow. - will feed tomorrow as they will benefit more. Very solid week ETS......the girls are taking off and expect to see lots of leaves popping out over the next couple of weeks😀👍 Work on reducing the small stresses they seem to be experiencing more next week.......continue tap water and give a feed with Epsom Salts new week.

🌼 Flowering – Week 2 (Days 36–42) 10/18 (Day 36 – Start of Week 5): Watered with the same nutrient solution as last week (2.5 ml/L CalMag + 1.4 ml/L Coco A + 1.4 ml/L Coco B). Not adding PK yet — I’ll wait until the stretch fully ends before introducing it. Measured heights today: tallest = 122 cm, shortest = 61 cm, average = 84 cm. Did not measure runoff this time. 10/19 (Day 37): Average vertical growth today: +4.66 cm, showing the stretch is slowing down. Watered again with the same solution as yesterday. The canopy remains uneven, with clear height differences between phenotypes — I’ll adjust pot heights soon to improve light distribution. Plants look healthy overall, no visible stress or nutrient issues. 10/20 (Day 38): Watered with water + CalMag + AN Micro (micronutrient maintenance day). Adjusted the height of the shorter pots, and now PPFD across the canopy is much more uniform. Average daily growth was +5.33 cm — the defoliation slowed them down briefly, but they’ve regained momentum. The tallest plant is now 132 cm, and I’ve had to raise the lights to their maximum height — any further stretch could become a problem for space. 10/21 (Day 39): Watered with the same nutrient solution as before, increasing total volume to 1.5 L per plant to achieve about 25% runoff. Performed a massive defoliation — foliage density was too high, and the dehumidifier couldn’t keep up with transpiration. Suspect that the excessive stretch was partially due to insufficient light intensity, since readings were only ~360 PPFD when ideal for this stage is 500–600 PPFD. Raised light intensity to 430 PPFD to gradually correct this. 10/22 (Day 40): Same watering as yesterday (1.5 L, ~25% runoff). Runoff: EC 1000, pH 6.6 Plants look strong and are adapting well to the increased light. Tomorrow I’ll introduce PK 13/14 at low dosage to initiate the first phase of bloom boosting. 10/23 (Day 41): Watered with 1.5 L. Introduced 0.3 ml/L PK 13/14 (first light dose) and 0.5 ml/L AN Micro after noticing one plant showing small brown spots between leaf veins (possible early micronutrient deficiency). Runoff: EC 1000, pH 6.6 Plants look stable overall, no visible stress from new additives. 10/24 (Day 42 – End of Week 5): Watered again with the same solution as yesterday. Input/Runoff: EC 1000, pH 6.6 Humidity has been difficult to control — RH stays around 60%, which lowers VPD. Planning to increase airflow and raise temperature slightly to improve VPD levels and moisture evacuation. Week 5 Summary 🌸 Stage: End of stretch and transition to full flower development. 📈 Growth: Height stabilized around 130 cm (tallest). Stretch nearly complete. ⚙️ Feeding: Base mix: 2.5 CalMag + 1.4 A/B (EC 1300). Runoff steady at EC 1000 / pH 6.6, indicating perfect nutrient uptake. Introduced PK 13/14 (0.3 ml/L) and AN Micro (0.5 ml/L) for bloom support. 💧 Watering: 1.5 L with 25–30% runoff per plant. No salt buildup detected. 💡 Lighting: PPFD increased from 360 → 430 µmol/m²/s after noticing under-lighting. Canopy adjusted by raising pots; more uniform distribution achieved. ✂️ Defoliation: Heavy leaf removal on Day 39 to control RH and open airflow. 🌡️ Environment: RH stable around 60%, but VPD slightly low (target ~1.2 kPa). Working to improve air exchange and temperature for better balance. 🌿 Overall health: Strong recovery after defoliation, no new deficiencies or stress. Early bud stacking visible. ➡️ Plan for Week 6 – Flowering Week 3 (Days 43–49) 🎯 Objective: Consolidate flowering, strengthen bud sites, and maintain climate stability. Nutrients: Maintain base feed at EC 1300–1400 µS, pH 5.8 ± 0.1. Increase PK 13/14 slightly to 0.4–0.5 ml/L if no stress appears. Keep AN Micro 0.5 ml/L once per week for micronutrient balance. Environment: Target VPD 1.1–1.3 kPa (temp ~26–27 °C, RH 50–55%). Improve dehumidification and circulation — consider stronger exhaust or intake fan cycles. Lighting: Increase PPFD to 500-600 µmol/m²/s. Monitor for any light stress at canopy level (tallest plants close to the lamp). Defoliation: No more heavy pruning — just remove large leaves shading bud sites. Observation: Track bud swelling and trichome development. Watch humidity closely during night cycles to avoid mold risk.

Sorry for the late update so for that I included a video of my grow room. This week is the last for the horizontal growth and is is now going vertical. Can’t wait for that tall growth going forward.

Day 17. - The ghetto CO2 generator did it's thing! They all exploded yesterday. I fed this morning @ full strength (1mL/L) Green Buzz Organig Grow Liquid, with about 1.5tsp molasses, and 1mL of Bokashi EM Juice (not bokashi tea, but the EM inoculant). After feeding I tied up and down. Ponytails for the top fan leaves, to expose the bottom nodes. And stakes to get the bottom nodes a bit more horizontal. Tangie is probably the prettiest out of the bunch. Before our first training, she was the most symmetrical and had shown the most growth in girth. The fan leaves were definitely shading the nodes underneath though, so I'm expecting some nice growth out of those tomorrow morning, after today's CO2 session. I bumped up the smell in my diary to 'strong'. It's not flower smell yet, but the veg smell is reeking. A friend noticed it as soon as I opened my vent-room door. But the good news is that she said she couldn't smell anything before then. When I open the tent, it's so strong that it's dank already. Again, not a flower smell...but I've never smelled a stronger veg-oder than these. Nobody could ever convince me that yeast is futile or too much work. The growth from day 16-->17 was simply mind-blowing. I'm expecting more tomorrow, after the heavy feeding today. Day 20. So...some news. Yesterday I got the new fan. Freaking sweet- screw that clip on fan nonsense. And today, I've been busy. Non-tent related... I put together a worm farm. So I'm hoping for castings in a few months. Fed the bokashi bucket. I've had a problem with fungus flies (look like gnats, but live in soil). Elsewhere, notice that this falls under 'Non-tent related' :D. So I removed the top inch of soil in that houseplant, sprayed a soapy water mixture and covered with 1.5 inches of sand. I'm including this here, because I was terrified that those dudes would somehow find their way to my tent (on the other side of the house). But I think I've seen the last of them. Tent related... I watered with a nice castings tea that brewed for about 24 hours. I hope I didn't f*ck up. I hit GG and Strawberry Cheesecake with it before I pH'ed it down. So they got dosed at around 7.6. I went back to them and hit them with a cup of pH'ed tea (6.5). Then the light cut off, and it was their bedtime. I had to wait for LST until after their nap. But while they were on black out, I got a package. Some dope-AF smartplugs. I can now control my LED, my exhaust, and my air mover from my phone. There's a built in digital timer where I can schedule on/off's. And it *measures* my usage! :D How cool is that?! Welcome to the space age. I also got a USB microscope, which is also badass. So look for pics from that in the coming weeks... Later when the light went back on (courtesy of my new smartplug!) I went back and did LST and pics for today. Day 21. New dehum. It's loud AF and uses a boatload of electricity. But let's see if they look a little better, once the humidity sinks. It's been at 85-90%. It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under...
