14.1.25:
I've been readjusting the LST. I just took all the pegs out and reshaped her.
I got some new LST equipment in the mail today, have been glad to have more pegs. I got some clips too, but they don't seem to stay on 😕
I'm currently only using the pegs, I have some thicker soft wire, but I forgot I don't have pliers to cut it!
Also I'm running very low on Biobizz nutrients, so that could be bad 🤞
18.1.25:
I have done another large defoliation on PPP1 and PPP2.
Also, moderate defoliation on all other plants today. All LST ties and pegs are readjusted.
I have turned up the light to 90%. Same distance of between 24-28 inches, depending on height of specific plant.
I have increased the dosage of Biobizz Bio-Grow and Fish Mix to give an extra boost of Nitrogen as several plants were showing yellowing. They have responded very well to this. Unfortunately I ran out of my Biobizz nutrients and PH UP. I'm currently using Bicarbonate of Soda to increase the PH after the nutes PH comes out to about 4.1. Obviously, that uses a lot and I only had a 250ml bottle, which I used last run too.
This run I have 9 plants. The only thing I'm worried about is the salt build up.
Have you used it before? Or any other natural way to increase PH? Please let me know!
I've also added Biobizz Fish Mix to help with the extra Nitrogen needed.
Watering with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients;-
♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix
♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow
♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom
♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max
♡ 2ml Cal-Mag
♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish.
I water with this every 3 days.
I did order some more Biobizz Bio-Grow and Bio Bloom.
I found some at a reasonable price on Amazon. I still have about 800 ml of Biobizz Fish Mix left, too.
It is fairly expensive this time as the plants are hungrier this run.
I also got a new bag of Canna coco, which I may use to add a top dress with some dry amendments.
Which hopefully will save some cash on the bottled nutrients and stretch out until the end of this run without having to buy anymore.
I have purchased a funnel to pour the water. It is difficult, due to the shape of my LST, to water precisely. I have spilt it all over the tent several times 🙄
I've also ordered a 2 litre jug. Currently, I'm mixing water for 9 plants individually in a 1 litre jug. It's tideous. Hopefully, this will solve the issues.
Cleaning the tent after watering every time isn't my idea of efficiency 😅
Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

I fudged up one pot , when lifting it the down part popped and root parts went away. The plant already had his main branch broken and is still hanging.
Please advice on the deficiencies of the biggest plant.
What other nutrients can I add here ? I have humic acid in little pallets.
Dutch pro bloom is coming on it’s way, I’m still watering with hand distributed nutes that could have the emblems “A”+”B” mixed up. To everyone telling that it brings a big issues to the company - no - it’s just a dude most of the time buying bulk amounts and selling per liter, having the original packaging on the bottle glued up.
Anyway, any advice is appreciated.

Hola cultivadores. Se acerca la víspera de año nuevo, y con ello, la llegada de la floración.
El día 12/27 observé las plantas y se aprecian diminutos pelos blancos, no están presentes en todas las ramas. Pero es suficiente para comenzar la fertilización con productos de floración. Escogí Bio-Bloom de BioBizz en su dosis media para que se adapte poco a poco al cambio de alimento, reduciendo igualmente el Fish-Mix a la mitad. Se mantuvo el Acti-Vera y el Alg-A-Mic en su misma dosis.
Ya la planta alcanzó los 68 cm, esperemos crezca y engruese sus ramas porque igualmente están delgadas para soportar el peso de los cogollos.

On day 36, the lighting regime was changed to 12 hours of light.
Everything goes on schedule, the plant looks very healthy. I'm satisfied:)
This is my first plant that grows so well. The leaves are just perfect. Based on the result, I will be adjusting the substrate with nutrient additives.

Plants in the main tent are coming along well since correcting the light intensity and run-off ppm, the one on the left is filling out now, so is the one in the middle just much slower. Not sure if I will let that one cook longer or just pull it with the rest... will see how she looks in a week.
The plant on the right I spread out to take up almost half of the tent (I didn't want the spindler taking up unnecessary space) - her nugs are real nice - some foxtails and bleaching on the taller ones but for the most part looking good.
Plant on the left has filled out a lot more despite its weirder more "wiry" bud structure - does't look as nice as the good plants but definitely better than the spindly plant in the middle.
Big Mumma is still killing it - wondering if its getting close to flush time for her as it looks like some of her tricomes are starting to brown...

She is growing super fast with the 315 watts LEC, only see the diference between day 27 and day 28. Replace Bio root with Flora Blend, very happy so far so good.

Eccoci qui...
Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana non ho applicato stress alla piccola, ma ho guardato l'evoluzione che ha avuto dando i nutrienti.
Ora ha un odore davvero intenso ed uno strato di resina pauroso, vediamo come si riprende dalla defogliazione che ho fatto settimana scorsa.
Seguiranno aggiornamenti, grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

Day 57: not much to say but she’s very healthy at this point and producing buds everywhere.
All good, getting closer to harvest each day!🌱
Day 59: she has started to smell really nice! Everything is going fine but I’m having some humid troubles again…
Day 61: I just installed the second net and did a light lollipop and trim!

I pumped up the bloom nutrients a little. As it’s my last week before I go into the flower stage. My lights will go 12/ 12 shortly.
I added a wooden support system because the plant was slanted a little bit.
I also removed clones yesterday. And the plant is healing very very well and fast. Lots of new baby nodes growing!
took out the strongest two plants to keep as mother plants. And I continued LST as the plant keeps growing steadily!

Another week down!
Training finished and the net installed will take from here...
Trying to find the balance between the high temps outside and high humidity inside the tent.

Bud development is really nice. Now you can clearly see purple buds, starting to produce a layer of resin. The purple from spreads from the inside to the sugar leaves, leaving a nice colour. The smell to this point, is not that strong. But she smells like a doughy overripe fruit, very sweet, but not yet like a cherry. I'm excited to see, how it's gonna turn out in the end.
She is not a thirsty plant and is not asking for a lot of nutrients. I just added a small mixture of bloom fertilizer, just to prevent deficiency symptoms. O guess she will take another 5 to 6 weeks, to become fully ripened.
So far the plant is really easy to handle , just don't overfeed her and she is running on her own.

Hello, readers!
I'm trying to stretch her more. But I noticed at the beginning of the week, that now, she's not that flexible that she was before. It means, preflower begins.
By the end of the week, some stigmas starter to appear. I think, by the next week it will be fully on pre flower or may be starting to real flower.
And i expect her to stretch vertically as well.
Here I have some root photos, they definitely has a lot of room to grow.
I have removed some big fan leaves, but not much. But mostly i was trying to shift them a bit, so the tips of the branches would get more light
Light on 60%

The growth took off this week! Both plants showing signs of flowering but one is ahead of the other. I'd say there was at least 6 inches of height added over the past 7 days or so. I'd consider this the first week of flower

Made compost tea last week and documented it. Since I am still new to the whole bio experience, any input and or experiences are appreciated on the matter.
The weather was 3 days of rain, 2 cloudy days and 2 days of sun.
The plants are comming along nicely. I gave some guano to the autos and some horse manure to the Passion #1 and watered it in with horsetail extract. No. 7 seems to really like her spot and conditions and has the potential to become pretty big. Still many "ifs" to overcome until then though. I put up a net to better guide the plant and to help carry itself later in flowering.
I did some light defoliation on the autos, on the insides of the plants.
Happy growing everyone!

Day 88, 30th of October 2020:
I am just back from my holiday my friend looked after her really nice the 4th week already and buds are coming nicely along....
Great to see this beautiful lady very stinky by the way.... Smell is strong...🤪
She is very nice.... ;)
I removed some leaves getting pointless to be as she focuses more on the buds....
Those leaves were removed from the top mostly....
Now she gets one day extra darkness and but previously she had more dark hours than 12 hours because she was removed in the morning and back in the evening because she is in the tent with other plants and they are in veg now....🤪🤣🤣
I just started changing the schedule for those as well so from tomorrow no need to remove her and putting back.... ;)

5/25 this plant is starting to gain some vigor finally. Has some real nice healthy color and I'm happy with where she is and/or where she will go once flowering commences. I was worried that she wasn't going to grow into much of anything. This seedling has been fighting since day
5/26 top dressed. She's taking off
Also her very main top, keeps branching off weird, it's like 3 at a node almost. Its been having weird mutations like parts of leaves missing and odd shaping of
