Week 4: Growth Spurts and New Challenges Continued Growth and Health As we move into the fourth week, the plants are showing impressive growth. Their leaves are a lush, vibrant green, and the stems are becoming stronger. The transition to the larger 11-liter fabric pots has clearly paid off, providing the roots with ample space and better aeration. Adjusting Nutrient Levels Given their positive response to the nutrients, I decided to continue with 2/3 of Terra Aquatica Tripart feeding schedule, adjusting slightly to meet their increasing demands. Here's the updated feeding plan for this week: CalMag: 2.5 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.50 mS/cm) Grow: 1.5 ml/l Bloom: 1.0 ml/l Micro: 0.5 ml/l EC: 1.2 mS/cm (600 ppm PPM-500/TDS) pH: 6.0 Each plant is watered with approximately 20% runoff to ensure there's no nutrient buildup in the coco mix. I will maintain this nutrient level until the pre-flowering stage to avoid the risk of nutrient burn due to over-fertilization. Weather Improvements and Adjustments The weather has been steadily improving, with temperatures expected to rise to around 25°C starting Wednesday, accompanied by abundant sunshine. This upcoming forecast is excellent news for my plants, as I anticipate a final growth spurt before flowering begins. Every centimeter of growth counts at this stage, and I'm optimistic about maximizing their potential under these favorable conditions. Strengthening with Wind Exposure On days with good weather, I move the plants out of the greenhouse to expose them to natural wind. This practice helps strengthen their stems, improving overall stability. Additionally, the wind creates a more challenging environment for pests, helping to keep them at bay. Smart Watering Strategy I only water the plants when the pots feel noticeably lighter. This encourages the roots to search for water, promoting the development of a stronger and more extensive root system. This method helps ensure the plants remain healthy and resilient. Pest Management: Observations and Actions At the beginning of the third week, I noticed dark discolorations on the undersides of some leaves. A few days later, these spots turned into yellow patches. I am still unsure about the cause of these spots. To prevent a potential insect infestation, I sprayed all the leaf surfaces, both top and bottom, with a mildly dosed neem oil mixture. Since then, the spots have not spread further. Because these discolorations are only affecting the lower leaves, they are not causing me significant concern at the moment. Regular inspections and preventive measures are crucial to maintaining the health of the plants and ensuring that any issues are caught early. Decision Against LST At first I have decided against using LST. But some of your comments made me try some LST on two of my plants. I choose Tangie and Gorilla cookies to try out and learn some stuff. Blue dream and Banana purple punch stay without any training. Thanks guys for your advice 👍 Monitoring and Care My daily routine involves checking the plants every morning and evening. This includes: Monitoring the moisture level of the coco mix. Inspecting the plants for any signs of pests or nutrient deficiencies. Growth Observations The plants are responding well to the controlled environment and balanced nutrition. They are growing rapidly, with new leaves appearing almost daily. The stems are thickening, and the overall structure of the plants is robust and healthy. Looking Ahead As we head into week 4, I am optimistic about the continued growth and health of my plants. The combination of a stable environment, appropriate nutrient levels, and diligent care is proving successful. I’m excited to see how they progress and adapt as they move closer to the flowering stage. Seeking Feedback and Tips Your feedback and tips are valuable to me!

09/26/2021 Starting week #7 of flower still picking caterpillar, and eggs of leaves, not to serious as we are on top of it. Starting the week with banana peel tea drench 2 gallons per girl, which is all she will get besides water till harvest. Still small flushes of pistils coming out I believe she (Hulk) is in final stage of flower (4) lots of orange hairs (pistils) but fresh one coming out daily albeit slower. Hopefully she fatting up in coming weeks. 09/28/2021 Week7 Day #3 Definitely seeing more calyx swelling. #1 is chunking up nicely #2 looks good little bud rot were caused from cattipillar poop! #3 coming from behind Will be last to harvest for sure.

She has been a pig drinkin al the water every 6 hours in this tiny spam DWC. she grew another 12 in this week alone bubba cheesecake is groing like its onsterods and workin out

Day 53 of flower , made the decision to harvest today . Main cola was full of amber , further down less and less amber .so I feel I have a good mix . Even the popcorn buds have filled out . Very little trimming to do . I will hang the whole plant upside down in the dark grow tent . Really looking forward to this tasty number . Will update in a few weeks post dry and trim .

Things are looking 👌 🔥 😍 Looks like Red Strawberry Banana by Sweet Seeds wants to finish soon , hairs are browning up. She is frosty already & smell like sweet, skunk, banana & pine. Maybe two weeks, will see. Hasn't required much water or food. But that SMELL !! Took away Xl girls restraining aka lst.

Entrando a la 7ma semana de floracion por suerte pude combatir el oidio de forma cacera con esponjita y jabón potásico. Tambien hice foliar con tricodermas y previo un foliar con agua oxigenada lo cual la planta se lo tomó bien y pude controlar el hongo antes de que me agarre los cogollos, bueno súper feliz con los resultados que estoy teniendo 100% orgánico hay cosas que mejorar si pero para eso estamos para aprender y ayudarnos entre todos , espero les guste luego de este post se viene la cosecha así que atentos! En 15ltr individuales dos esquejes de darth haze (bubbakush pre 98 x Lebron haze) de @bsfseed Espero les guste y le den like! Vamos arriba cultivetas y buenos humos 💚🙏🌱💨💨

Defoliated a few fan leaves. All the phenos are different heights but I'm making it work.

Oh Ya Baby!!

Very good. Decresing the humidity to 45 %

Day 56 ladies are really starting to get some massive buds, tent smells amazing! I can’t wait to see what this harvest looks like😍😍 Thanks for following & make sure to check back for daily updates friends! Happy growing✌️🏼🌱

Moin an alle 3. Woche is durch läuft alles ganz OK bis auf die lady hinten rechts das Ph Problem besteht immer noch zwar schwankt es hart aber es nervt gibt sonnst nicht viel zu berichten stretch sollte so gut wie durch sein deshalb habe ich heute am 01.07.22 also freitag nochmal Zusätzlich ringe eingezogen um die Pflanzen ein wenig auseinander zu spreizen um mehr Licht an die einzelnen Blütenstände zu bekommen sollte man aber auf dem Video ganz gut sehen können. Was ich interessant finde das ich die Woche über eine Geruchs explosion der Ladys hatte Montag roch sie typisch nach Gras, Dienstag roch sie wie saure kotze, Mittwoch wie ne süße Frucht, Donnerstag roch sie garnicht, und seid heute also Freitag ne Mischung aus sauer fruchtig und typischem Gras Geruch der aber sehr tief in die Nase eindringt und dort länger verweilt. irgendwie interessant mal sehen was die nächsten Wochen noch so mit sich bringen vll mischt sich ja noch ein anderer Geruchs ton mit ein...

The Beans was popped into a wet paper, the greenthubs was fantastic, not the same as the runtz muffin by Barney's farm she was very strange and now she looks very busy and short 🤯🤷

I applied a defoliation now on the second week to get that the light gets to every bud site,let's see how this wonderful little bush performs.

The overall cycle was a lengthy process for a fast version variety. Therefore, I would personally consider this as a normal photoperiod type based on this growth experience. However, the results were worth waiting for and produced some extravagant buds with colours unseen before. The taste is somewhat Berry fruity affect along with earth like aroma (I smoke pure cannabis only). Good head high followed by relaxation somewhat, overall excellent plant and would consider growing again. Bit disappointing on the dry weight but its all satisfying in the end. I may try Geotextile pots next time to help boost the yield and performance.

Day 127 6-6 Started backing off on the light time and had to bring in a dehumidifier to bring down humidity. Strung some support up for the final weeks push. Continue to lower ppm's slowly getting her down to 15. Total Darkness coming soon.😎 This could be the last week t'ill harvest.

This plant is exactly what you would expect from it gets orange and yellow all around when fading smells just crazy of 🍊 got some good sized buds all around it this plant just reeeeks it’s so gassy but straight orange super strong can smell the orange before even getting close very sticky but not to frosty on sugar leafs at all had some nice calyx development was always a happy plant even when under fed fully organic 444 and 284 Gaia green Had tons of calaxs when I trimmed it up it was kinda crazy thick buds all dense and smell sooo good very sticky plant would definitely recommend this as a orange smelling bud always needed more calmag on this one

Not happy with this auto. Super long for a autoflower poor bud quality and smell. Just ready to harvest for the space.

The plants grow well in the first week I had 100% germination in the seeds, for a first-time sailor I'm happy. I added the humidifier to keep the humidity at 65%. Now in the second week I increased the quantity of fertilizers but always following the supplier's table and the plants seem to be enjoying their food.
