Today is day 23 of flower. So I've been chasing a minor P-K deficiency. The plants are happy and healthy and are just feeding heavy at the moment. Well over and above any recommended servings with respect to the dry amendments and water soluble P-K inputs. As with any grow regardless of what you're using for inputs (organic amendments/salt based bottle feeding/crop salts/etc....) the recommended feed rates are never anything more than a baseline. So to remedy the deficiency I added the Flower 2 at 1.5 times the reccomended dosage (3 grams per liter of water) and a little over twice the dosage of Gaia Green 2-8-4 Power Bloom dry amendments (250ml per 7 gallon pot). I also fed a mung bean/barley seed sprout tea as well as a compost tea (2/3 of a cup of each seed). The feed rates will stay well above recommended servings for the Flower 2 but the 250ml addition of the 2-8-4 would be considered a large addition for a single serving so I will give the plants 5-7 days to see how they react to dry amendments before top amending again at any rate (you cant burn your plants with organic inputs but you can still suffer nutrient lockout so you need to be mindful and patient when feeding heavy.) On day 19 of flower I did a large pruning/defoliation/lollipopping of the plants. Both from the top of the pot to the bottom of the first layer of trellis removing everything. I also cleaned the plants out from above the first layer of trellis netting to the top of the plant. As I waited to clean up the bottom third of the plants until my typical strip day in flower (day 18-21 depending on strain and flowering times, these are 9 week strains which is why the strip falls in the day 18-21 range, if they were 8 week finishers the leaf strip would take place somewhere between days 14-16). When running multiple layers of trellis netting it's best to prune/lollipop everything below the first layer of netting about 7-10 days before the flip. Odds are your lights wont penetrate that far down the plant so these areas of the plant typically only produce what's commonly known as larf. I'm running new lights so I decided I'd wait until the big strip I always do in flower. This was grower error. I know better and wont make this mistake again. Its unnecessary stress added during flower that could've been prevented. As I decided to wait to clean out the bottoms I didnt prune the plants as aggressively as I normally would (I adopted Grand Master Levels leaf strip practices years ago, check him out on IG or YouTube if you want to see what that looks like). The week went smoothly with no major issues to report. The seasons are changing here so were getting rain, damp wet snow, and have very humid conditions outside. As a result this affects the atmosphere in my grow room but not enough to cause concern. A little less than 6 weeks until the chop!

I left my brother to mist the seedlings whilst i was in amsterdam for 4 days, got back expecting growth but found the plants have stretched and looked leggy and not much growth apart from stretch…(should have took photos before repot) I planted the seedlings in clear plastic cups with holes punched into the bottom, the medium was very moist and wasn’t seeming to dry out soo i decided i would repot in red cups as i heard clear cups are bad for roots…(feed the girls very lighly was due to bad drainage more then over watering)… I used fresh coco and pulled away as much moist coco as possible without disturbing roots, i added great white to the medium and root balls of the seedlings and repotted burying the stretched stem as much as possible… I didn't water the coco prior or after the repot as i didn’t want to stress the plant further if the roots have been getting drowned by excess water in the coco due to poor drainage, i sprayed mist above all seedlings when all was transplanted very very lightly with a micro dose of rhizotonic by canna… 1 blueberry muffin seedling looks like its going to die the other 2 are okay. I have attached photos after transplant should have photographed before transplant but didn’t 😅 When should i water next seedlings are hard work i usually runs clones that come of a defent size and root structure…🤷‍♂️ My ppm is 150 tds from the tap Ec is 0.4 out the tap Im dechlorising my water with tap safe for 24 hours before use. I have been recommended to ph to 5.8 is this correct ? My temps are around 23-28 degrees And humidity around 55% - 80% Love for reading this far, i will be posting a update every week, Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated 👊❤️

I topped some of the ladies that were getting a little bigger than the rest of the plants hoping it slows down some of the growth so the smaller plants can catch up thanks for reading😏

Se realizó una defoliación en la parte más baja y en las 2 hojas más grandes de la parte superior para que pudiera entrar de mejor manera la luz a los brotes más pequeños. Se aplicó Voodo Juice para las raíces y Top Bloom para la floración, ya todas tomaron de buena manera el cambio del fotoperiodo. Seguimos 👽 ...

I started Flushing two plants as there nearing the end of there days. I'll start Flushing the others this week apart from the kalimist indica pheno as it started flowering 3 or so weeks after the others even though they were all forced together. (alkward bugger) Some of the plants are showing red /purple colours a little bit 👍

So far so good, setting her up for some big yields. Letting her recover after last topping, due a defoliation which i might do today on day 57. Day 61 - growth has taken off, loads of LST, BENDING and tying down. Growth on top is doing really well as is the root zone. Bigplantscience is doing its job well! Very close to flipping her to 12/12 Day 62 - all is well, i think kts time to see some fruits! Stay tuned.

Compost tea turned out well and if your curious about the microscopy, check the comments on my GMP grow. No signs of senescence yet so no feed needed, they are in a second run of the same soil so there should be plenty in there from before. Not very resinous or smelly, with weird wide stumpy buds. Definitely my least fav pheno of any plant I've grown so far, but it's the end product we're after so she may yet surprise.

The time is quickly approaching, when these three girls will be harvested and whole-plant dried for like 2 weeks or so. I believe I will be harvesting this coming weekend after I check the maturity of the trichomes. I'm hoping that Big Lemon produces at least 2 LBS of dried flowers.
