End of the grow cycle finally! This one was a test run, I wanted to see the possibilities using liquid nutrients in an Autopot-like system. Firstly, because I got plenty of the nutrients left from the previous grow. Although it is possible to use this method, it’s way too much work. I had to change the water/feed in the tray all the time while I was facing with ph stability issues. The harvest is now in the drying chamber. I will keep you updated with the end results.

Growing really well, still think this one will be my heaviest yielding! She’s covered in a thick resin and continues to push pistils out, this one may have the density I’ve been trying to get. I think I’ve finally figured this strain out, looking forward to the bud off this girl. The bud that was pollinated is beginning to yellow, I will likely go ahead and snip that off towards the end of the week when the seed pods begin to open but before the seeds actually drop. Some of the other plants that had buds that were pollinated have already been harvested for the seeds. I left the remainder of the plants to finish up.

Week 7 – Substrate Saturation & Major Recovery Flush This week was noticeably tougher than the previous ones. After showing strong development for several days, the plant suddenly slowed down and displayed clear signs of stress: halted growth, reduced leaf vigor, and poor nutrient absorption. A quick diagnosis revealed the cause: an excessively high EC in the substrate, leading to a severe root lockout. ⚠️ Despite the difficult situation, the corrective intervention was heavy, precise, and absolutely necessary. ⸻ 🌧️ Major Blockage – Excessive EC in the Root Zone The symptoms matched a classic salt buildup: • stalled vertical and lateral growth • leaves showing tension and mild droop • delayed response to watering • slightly uneven color The conclusion was straightforward: 👉 The root zone was overloaded with mineral salts, preventing the plant from taking up nutrients and even basic moisture. Without a fast and well-executed flush, things could have worsened quickly. ⸻ 💧 Intensive Flush — 18 Liters at pH 6.2 (No Nutrients) To restore balance, you performed a deep, controlled flush: • 18 liters of water • pH calibrated to 6.2 • no nutrients added This reset allowed you to: ✔️ remove a significant portion of the salt buildup ✔️ rehydrate and oxygenate the substrate ✔️ restore proper root metabolism ✔️ rebalance the soil’s pH The final readings after the flush were excellent: • Runoff PPM brought down to 900 • Substrate pH stabilized at 6.5 These values are completely safe and give the plant a clean base to recover from the lockout. ⸻ 🔄 Plant Response — Still Weak, but Improving Although the plant hasn’t fully bounced back yet: • leaf posture is slowly improving • color is becoming more uniform • the root zone is breathing again • growth should restart within the next 48–72 hours A slight delay after such a heavy flush is normal and expected. The priority now is letting the plant recover at its own pace. ⸻ Nutrients — Mandatory Pause After such a deep reset: • no nutrients were given • the substrate must stabilize before feeding resumes • the plant needs time to re-open nutrient pathways Overfeeding too early could recreate the same EC issue. Patience is key. ⸻ 🌬️ Environment & Structure Despite the setback: • the structure remains solid • the LST framework is still intact • environmental conditions stayed stable • no pests or diseases are present The problem was strictly chemical (EC-related), not environmental. ⸻ 🌸 Next Step — Wait for Clear Signs of Recovery Before training, shaping, or switching to 12/12: 👉 wait for visible new growth and fully opened leaves. Once you see fresh, healthy movement, you can gently reintroduce nutrients at reduced strength. Only then should you consider whether to extend veg or plan the flowering transition. ⸻ 🔥 Conclusion — A Difficult Week, But a Clean Save Week 7 brought a serious challenge: a heavy nutrient lockout caused by excessive EC. However, your response was fast, precise, and completely on point. The 18 L flush at pH 6.2 successfully: • cleared the excess salts • stabilized the substrate • restored a safe pH of 6.5 • brought the EC back to manageable levels The plant is now on the path to recovery, and the worst has been avoided. Next week should show clear progress.

Heeey! 👋 Here's the third week of flower or the 2nd with actually visible buds! And some have grown quite a lot in such little time, nice! 😁 And the plant stretched a lot too! Sooo, everything is going well, or it seems that way! If anything what's happening is that I'm still taking too long to water my plants (but they do recover fast!) 😖 and I'm also giving them all the proper nutrients they need (I was missing one last week, oops!). I also defoliated my babies this week. Hopefully the lower buds will thank me later! 😃 I'd like to add as well that all the previous issues that were visible on Matcha seem to be gone, which is good! Her leaves are healthier (a little too dark maybe) and there is no more "tigering" in her leafs! Once both stop growing I'll start giving them the rest of the nutrients to fatten up the buds, but I'll let you all know before I do it! Thanks for reading and I hope you all enjoy the photos!

Le 48ème jour se déroule avec grâce, malgré un léger obstacle : une carence en calcium touchant l'une de nos chères plantes. Heureusement, avec une dose ajustée de calcium, j'espère avoir rectifié ce déséquilibre, veillant à ce que notre verdoyante compagne retrouve son équilibre nutritionnel. Cette plante, bien que modeste en taille, se distingue par sa structure compacte et robuste. Ses fleurs commencent à se parer d'une riche couche de trichomes, scintillant de promesses et de potentiel. Je poursuivrai l'apport méticuleux de nutriments, dansant délicatement sur la ligne fine entre suffisance et excès. L'objectif reste clair : nourrir sans surcharger, pour éviter tout risque de brûlure par excès de nutriments. Au regard de l'état actuel de notre protégée, je prévois qu'elle atteint son apogée dans les 9 à 10 semaines. Remarque : carence en calcium a la 5/6e semaines rectifié avec l'ajout de CallMag La plante présente un grand nombre de trychomes et des feuilles violacée sur le dessous. Engrais : moitié de la dose recommandée en NPK pour corriger les carences, a vérifier si brûlures.

Después de unos 4 días málos de lluvia, mucho viento pero nuestras niñas han resistido y se han puesto más fuertes. Solo regados antes con agua de la lluvia y con un poco de botella, sin nada solo pH controlado por última vez antes de proceder al te de compost. Luego de la lluvia al segundo día de sol procedí a preparar el te de compost aireado. Basado en 10l. 60g compost de estiércol de caballo 190g hummus de lombriz Cucharada de harina de algas kelp Cucharadita de humico fulvicos 47ml de melaza Aireado por 24 horas ingredientes sólidos en una bolsa de tela así asemejando una bolsa de tela gigante. Lo demas en el agua melaza y humicos. Remover bien disolver melaza luego encender bomba de aire. La tierra usada de base es una tierra en base de tierra antigua limpiada con agua de lluvia trabajada con humus compost y polvos kraken.. La idea es nutrir la tierra darle vida. Rociado y regado les ha sentado genial. La idea es para todo el jardín un mismo riego.

Day 15 - 1.3L water Plant #3 is taller and with less ramifications than her sisters, i really dont know if its because of the soil, or just genetics.. (Since its my first grow, i wont do LST or anything, just whatch them grow and tucking leaves under) Day 18 - 1.5L water + 0.7 rootfast + 0.8 terra leaves (for BB, #1 and #3) and 0.5 rootfast + 0.8 NRG Growth-C (for #2) Just to campare diferent nutes 😁 The sunglasses in the video are really amazing, always protect your eyes 😎 (Method Seven Operator HPS+) Day 20 - 1.5L water

the buds are swelling nicely now starting to reduce the amount of feed i give it and increase the {Rain water} ,we use water from the sky all times we find its the best source of water for plants. This project is to show you can have an idea in mind and for fill it T shape {top shelf} This is all down to the spacers and remember this was a cutting straight into flower as are most of my grows,if anyone is into this and would like to learn then drop me a text. we can send you some free spacers.

So amazing! She’s stretched healthily up to canopy and I feel she may still have a bit of stretch to go so I think I can take her off her raised block (4”) and let her just be where everything else is at 44” (top one) it’s going to be an amazing yield here! I think my best ever I’ve ever done! With the least supplements 😉 my way seems to get me more than if I used all of advanced nutrients line up! Lol been there done that!
