Heavy defoliation day 15 of flower. Netting was causing more trouble than help so I removed it. Adding power bloom every other watering. Had to defoliate again on the 21st day of flour.

Ok so this is the 2x2 with my fixtures in them the blurples add more par ( I believe) more heat so thought I’d give it a go flowering it seems to be working great so far the Taomatic has started to bloom and stretch since the flip to 12/12 I had two Taomatics but got frustrated with one pheno as it was growing weird and suffered from everything possible so she/he is gone now just the one left so let’s hope she does well 😄anyway not to ramble on the lights combined wattage is as follows:- DIY light=52 watts /Blurple panel light=75 watts / Blurple bulbs= 30 Watts combined there’s 6 bulbs (5w) so total wattage draw from wall is 157 watts which is the same as my mars hydro ts1000 however it cost a hell of a lot less not saying it’s better but you can grow bud on the cheap trust me I started with scrap crap but it works lol happy growing people peace and love ✌️🏾 Oh yeah not sure if this Taomatic is male or female yet but It looks like she might be female any opinions????

Day 57 and I have decided to go another two weeks roughly to advance maturity and Bud size I've been talking with other Growers and they seem to be in consensus that even though I'm close to the actual Harvest Time listed on the website for this plant it is not mature enough quite yet and I can get quite a bit more out of it. That being said here we go. Quite a bit has changed today I introduced a new way of watering my plants more frequently whatever happened to worry about spillage as a result my plant is sitting slightly higher off the ground as I built a platform for it so the water drips from the pot into the catcher and I can remove the catcher without touching the pot. I also have changed the way my lighting is set up. I'm sure that some of my other grow pictures show the lighting the way it was the new way should be much more efficient at covering the area and kind of just really cleaning everything up. My hope is that some have you may find these things useful possibly for your own tent grows. As always if you have any questions feel free to drop them below happy growing Day 59 as you will see in the pic there are almost no amber trichomes its a good thing i am continuing to grow this girl. you may have noticed a lack of heavy trichomes ( i know i did ) i think its just the strain as this is the second plant to be like this my LSD, Ayahuasca purple and church had far more trichomes on the leafs but im not complaining she smells great and i bet she will taste great and give a good high as well Day 62 im starting to get more amber trichomes and you can really tell that she is sucking up the nutes in the leafs also going forward i will start a new way of feeding because i tested the run off today and its at 2466 ppm and thats to much on the high side for me. so now im going to put 2 L of straight tap water and then 2 L of nute mix every day and test to see how things are going. If i dont notice a good drop i will do 3 L of water and keep going up from there. at this point there is not real risk to the plant and it will help me on the next grow that i will be starting right after this Day 63 so i noticed a drop in the ppm its now 2276 a drop of almost 200 ppm in 1 day so not to bad. i would like it a bit faster so im going to up it to 3 L water and 2 L nutes thats all for now

BIG UPDATE THIS WEEK !!! ---------------------------------- FEEDING MISTAKE / TRANSPLANTING THE PLANT ------------------------------------------------------- Last week, the plant was showing some feeding issue (some burned tips). After discussing with another grower ( @Asnoriu ) and carefully listening his advices, I decided to transplant the queen to a bigger pot. 16L can be ok, but I had a long veg (10 weeks), and this was getting too small for the lady. So starting from now, I will always transplant before flowering, since I understood & learned how it help the plant to develop good roots network. The plant probably suffered from too much feeding with Fish-mix. Asnoriu told me He was using it at 50% of the recommend dose, and not at each watering. This totally make sense, especially when i look back at my first grow : I used no fish-mix during almost all the veg, and she grow verry well. My gardening soil was probably rich enough for my plants! I transplanted the plant to a bigger pot (16L -> 30L) and filled the new pot with Biobizz All-Mix soil. I took the plant from the old fabric pot like if it was a sock : what a niiiice and easy technic ! (Thanks again Asnoriu). Watered with pure water (ph at 6.2-6.5), without any nutrients (All-mix is already rich enough). I will feed again in 1-2 weeks. BIG ERROR WHEN APPLYING LST BACK IN THE NEW POT --------------------------------------------------------------- I had to remove my strings (LST) to switch to the new Pot. When I was applying the LST again in the new pot, I went too far with tension... And the main-lining broke 😟 So I fixed it verrry quickly by releasing LST tension, and using a string to tight the stem where it broke. In less than 5 minutes it was fixed. I was verry worried that it may have killed my queen.... But she didn't shown any sign of stunt, and 48h hours later, I can say that she look verry good. This doesn't slowed her. She seems to grow faster since transplant, so all good :) So, note to myself : never try to LST when flowering started, or only verry carefully, with just littles adjustements. SPONSORSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT & LIGHT + TENT UPGRADE -------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm verry proud to announce that Mars Hydro ( @MarsHydroLED ) decided to sponsor me :) So I received a TSW2000 (basically 2X the output of a TS1000), and a Mars Hydro tent (100cm x 100cm x 180cm) That's PER-FECT, since I was already using a TS1000, which I bought because it was the best deal (price/quality) for me. I'm verrrrry happy about it, and I feel verry lucky to be selected by Mars Hydro 🙌 This mean a lot to me. I still have a lot to learn, but I'm doing my best to improve myself and learn. Learning from the other, and sharing my experience, and being rewarded for that... Damn, so cool 😍 MENTION ----------- Once again, thanks a lot @Asnoriu You are MY grower of the month, for sharing your ideas, opinions, and advices with me :) WEEK DETAILS ---------------- - Day 79 : Watering 1L (ph 6.2 - 6.5) with feeding (as detailed in the week details) - Day 82 : Transplanting from 16L pot to 30L pot. Broke stem, and repared it. Upgraded from Mars Hydro TS1000 to TSW2000 (2x more powerfull). Watered with pure water. - Day 84 : Plant look verry great, and seems to stretch & flower faster :)

The week starts Monday Jan-27, being day 27 of flowering. Plants are looking very good and healthy, albeit some bigger buds at this stage is missing. Carried out more defoliation of upper leaves on the CBD. Only trimming fan leaves on one side of a bud site in alternate fashion. Strategy is to expose more bud sites to light. Leaves are getting sticky and glistening brightly. Feeding a high EC nutrient mix whilst monitoring run-off EC which remains below feed EC. The canopy is still thick with beautiful luscious green leaves typical of an Indica. Light is maintained at 30cm above the canopy, with daily fertigation at lights on - watering just over 2L per day. Maintaining an average RH in the space at 50%. ---- updates for prior 4 weeks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Jan-20 still flowering away. Bud sites are beginning to take form and the ScrOG setup looks full, ready for the development of some large buds. Removed a few more leaves from above the canopy which were blocking bud sites below. Also cut small stems (with bud sites) below the canopy from both plants which were unlikely to grow strong. It's now looking clearer below the canopy. The canopy is still thick with beautiful luscious green leaves typical of an Indica. Run-off EC has been slowly rising over the weeks but still under the feed EC - will be keeping my eyes on this. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy, with daily fertigation at lights on - watering almost 2.5L per day. Maintaining an average RH in the space at 50%. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Jan-13 in flowering stage. The plant is growing thick and fast, with very short node intervals creating a thick canopy. Carried out substantial defoliation of almost all the big fan leaves and a few little stems that were not likely to make it above the canopy. Avoided defoliating the major cola branches. This encourages the plant not to waste resources on a node which is only going to produce “popcorn” buds. The plants reacted well to the defoliation and were looking good by the end of the light cycle for the day. The net is completely full and this will be the last week of applying any LST as part of the ScrOG setup. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy, with daily fertigation at lights on - watering almost 2.5L per day. Lowered the average RH in the space to 50%. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Jan-06 in flowering stage. The net is filling up nicely with the ScrOG process being enjoyable - just tucking branches nicely under squares once stretched enough. The Indica dominant strain is really shining with incredible dense growth and thick branches that don't bend as easily as it's Sativa neighbour. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My grow setup includes; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom. Passive intake of air is from a closed off section of the room where the central heating boiler sits - the intake is warm air (20 degC.) and fairly dry (40% RH) during the winter months. - Mars Hydro SP250 LED light - extraction fan - AC Infinity Cloudline T6 - ventilation fans - aquarium heater - small oil heater - small dehumidifier - 20L Airpots and 3.5L general pots for seedling stage - Canna Coco substrate and nutrients - pH and EC/TDS meters - Thermo/Hygro meter

The girls have survived another week ❤️ I did a light defoliation and have been monitoring the RH closely. We have had a very damp week here, and the RH kept climbing and had my fan working hard. They are starting to plump up and fill in 😋. They have also started to slow their drinking habits, instead of watering every three days, it has moved to every 4 now. Just a couple of weeks left, I think I will be harvesting these over Christmas 🎄, and will have some great bud ready for the new year! 🎉🎊🍾

Unfortunately ive managed to overwater my young plants when experimenting with a new substrate. They looked really droopy with grey edges and yellowing already, so i decided to restart this post for a second try germinating directly into my living soil, like im used to do it. 📆 [23rd of August] Ive put the 2 remaining seeds directly into my homemade living soil. Exactly 72 hours later, on the 26th, one has popped up and showed their germination leafs. I am planning to repot the plants into their "real" home after about 14 days of vegetation. That is gonna consist of 2 substrate levels in a 40l container. The bottom 2/3 is going to be a mix of peat, pumice, sand & vermiculite, the top third is gonna be a layer of my homemade living soil, which is made of 1/3 peat, 1/3 compost and 1/3 pumice 4-12mm & Spelt Husk 50%/50% (measured by volume) amended with kelp meal, sproutet bean meal, basalt rock dust, microbial mushroom biomass (chitin), oyster grit, gypsum, charcoal, bentonite and tiny amounts of bone meal & horn meal. It is my first time growing in a (partly) nutrient poor substrate. I want to do some kind of Experiment this time, as i have not seen many growers use "hydroponic" /nutrient poor substrate paired with the "living soil" approach & organic feeding. I'm trying to boost the growth by providing plenty of oxygen and water like hydroponics does, without needing to use those mineral salt based fertilizers or frequently having to discard "old" substrate. In my mind this idea would work similar to an "Autopot" system, where you prodive water and oxygen mainly in the bottom with some small amounts of nutrients, but feed mainly from the top by amending. Ive seen this in the "Build a soil" youtube channel. I've set their homes up already a couple weeks ago and moistened it to let it cook together, so the living organisms could colonize the bottom subtrate before transplanting. (Edit: Change of plans, those "homes" are gonna go to my Red Hot Cookies instead, ive just transplanted her right into an 8l pot to become a mother. Its made the same way, without the cooking together in prior part.) The plants are going to be fed purely organic/natural material by top dressing with different amendments like fish hydrolysate, basalt, kelp, gypsum, guano and this "living soil - grow" fertilizer i've showed in the pictures. Furthermore i am going to be using homemade nutrient ferments on cannabis for the first time. Ive already tested those on roses, tomatoes and some houseplants. (made from fish, insect, kelp, aloe vera, guano, kitchen scraps, plants etc). My goal is to additionally boost the plant growth by watering these quickly available nutrients. It should contain all the essential minerals plants need, as well as phytohormones, amino acids, vitamins, humic and fulvic acid, beneficial bacteria and fungi. Stay hyped with me! [Edit Week 4] I am not as happy with the results as ive expected it. The plants are looking pretty fine and growing nicely, but i dont see any benefit compared to pure living soil yet. It almost seems like the plant is growing a little bit slower than usual and just needs to be fed more with this method, i dont see any "hydro like" boost happening... Maybe i needed to fertigate her more often and topdress more, i didnt want to try out too much though as i want to keep this plant as a mother. I dont have much time to do experiments with clones, so im probably just going to go for it as planned and hope that they will like the system in the big 40l pots. Probably going to amend the soil heavier then by topdressing more and fertilize with every watering later in veg - until mid/late flower.

Primera semana - Germinación en Placas de Petri sobre un invernadero calefactado, utilizando papel de cocina y pulverizando agua. Entre 24h y 48h después germina el 50% de las semillas y a las 72h el 95%. Mientras espero a que germinen, preparo el sustrato; · Coco-Kaya by BioBizz and Julian Marley 75-25. Utilizo macetas altas de 1,4L que riego con abundante agua, antes de plantar las semillas. Cuando germinan las planto bien etiquetadas y pulverizo agua, sin regar. Así evitamos movimientos indeseados de las semillas. 18h de luz 6h de oscuridad. Los balastros ajustados a 250w. Durante la semana, van saliendo los cotiledones de todas las plantas.

Day 73, 25th of November 2020: I like this plant so much and the smell hmmm. Little bushy girl. Well not much to say just wait and see. Happy all good so looking forward to seeing the beautiful matured hatvest ready lady lol. Fertilization is still the same every second day with the rationand mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

Temps have been good and RH has been steady between 60-65%. I have good airflow all around and don’t worry too much about it the higher RH at this point in the grow. Transplanted the ladies from their starter pots to their 2 gallon pots. They did not seem to have any transplant shock. A few more weeks and we will go to their 4 gallon final pots.
