I've defoliated a little as I go. One of the watermelon candy has a flat stem (Fasciation) I've been trimming the leaves as they are growing in abundance on the affected branches. The black orchid smells so good it's very pungent and captivating, I'm really looking forward to trying it now.

Honestly I’m shocked at how big she’s gotten so far. The growth over the last few weeks is crazy. Completely filling up the 2x2 no more room to work with on the sides. Even with lst she’s at 31in tall on four larger main colas. Still watering in so hum soil with just fish shit and recharge, did have an issue for a few days with humidity and the light being too close but got that solved. Still have the very bright yellow tips on the leaves, haven’t really been worried about it too much lately as the problem has not gotten worse. Has been there for a few weeks now, but overall she’s looking very good and I’m excited for final weight off this sucker.

I have decided to chop the most mature plant of the three, even though it could go longer I was originally going to be chopping all three because I am about to leave on a trip, however a friend of mine is able to take care of the other 2 less mature ones. I was planning on just saying fuck it and chop them all but the less mature ones have still mostly white pistils and I can’t bring myself to do it, they started putting more weight on these past few days and I know if they just could get a few more weeks they will really be amazing with a lot of weight. Interesting that one matured faster than the other 2, although I think this corresponds with the size of the buds as the mature plant’s buds are not particularly big, hoping to pull 25 grams at least from it. The less mature plants are beginning to bulk and as I stated earlier, I just can’t chop them and ruin all their potential yet. The calyxs are swelling a lot and looking super tasty. Will continue to add updates for the other 2 plants

On the first day of this week, I topped the plants after the 5th node. 3 days later I switched to 12/12. The reservoir wasn't quite empty yet, so I didn't fill it this week, but I probably will at the start of the next one. Plants are growing quickly now, the yellowing in the BJ and NYC has also pretty much recovered, nutes seem to be fine at the moment. I fear they might grow taller than I'd like them to, but I guess we'll see. I just hope I don't have to put in the net this time, as I like to reserve the option of taking them out of the tent. I also bought an RO filter, which I am probably going to use the next time I fill the reservoir.

I just added weeks 5 and 6 into one week because I didn't really have time to post last week. There seems to be a problem with my plants that I can't quite figure out. The only commonality that I changed with both plants since the last grow is the microbe Inoculant that I bought from NPK. The Black Afghan that I harvested back in November didn't have these microbes added to the soil and it grew into a monster. I am beginning to wonder if these microbes are stealing food from my plant. Even though these microbes are sold as "flowering" microbes. I'm beginning to think they are starving my plants. Also, I am technically 7 weeks from the flip to 12/12. So I may just be at the end of the flower period for these plants. I checked the Tricomes and they are mostly cloudy with about 5-10% amber. Normally at this point I would be cutting out the nutrients and letting her consume her leaves. However, she has already started to so that and now I don't know what to do. I just don't know. So... lesson learned. Stick to the basic nutes and stop trying to make this job harder than it needs to be. KISS

Good week. PPM issues last week were due to messing around with the watering schedule. I changed to a 3min fill and the extra water disturbed the clay pebbles, releasing sediment into the reservoir. I'm back to 1min fills. Buds are looking excellent. They're growing very close to the lamp but I don't have room to raise it anymore, I'm thinking I'll need to string them using the corners of the tent as anchors if they start burning. The dehumidifier was also set too high, so it's been a bit steamy in there for the last day. Reset it from 45% back down to 20% so it's running at full power day and night. When it's set at 45% the real RH raises to 80%, when it's set at 20% the RH sits at around 45%.

Indoors flowering nicely, brown hairs starting to show. Outdoors still one of the Ultimate still hasn't started to flower. I'm starting to wonder if it's not an auto at all. The gelato is forming nicely, with a little visitor a bee. The other ultimate is also flowering nicely. Day 75, due to hothouse damage the three outdoor plants are now indoors

Quite good result considering that she only got around 6h of sunlight, the buds didn't grew too big but they have a lot of THC, this is perfect for people who live in the city and just want to grow some small plants on the balcony without getting too much attention, the smell was really sweet and she offers a good resistance against bugs, and i didn't even applied any insecticide. We are going to use this plant to do a fresh frozen extraction 😁

I've been trimming this lady daily and she just keeps growing leaves like mad. Trimmed a ton of the under canopy and any leaves that shield what appear to be bud sites... and keep trying to do that while balancing maximum photosynthesis. I keep training her down and trimming her down, and she keeps filling out! A touch of lightened green at the inner new leaves is making me nervous. Doing a full reservoir swap today so that may help. Still pretty far behind what I was expecting for an auto at this stage, but growth is wicked.

Jo die sind echt krass gewachsen, der eine vorne sehr buschig, die oberen Fächerblätter des Hauptstamms mussten entfernt werden. Der hiintere wächst anders, und beide wurden einmal getoppt, noch 3 Tage veggie, sodass die eine 4 Wochen und 3 Tage Veggie hatte, währenddessen die hintere #2 3 Wochen und 5 Tage, dann gehts ab morgen in die Blüte. EN Yeah, they have really grown a lot, the one in front is very bushy, the upper fan leaves of the main stem had to be removed. The one in the back grows differently, and both were topped once, still 3 days of veggie, so the one had 4 weeks and 3 days of veggie while the back one #2 had 3 weeks and 5 days, then starting tomorrow it goes into bloom.

She's a beast! Trucking along, just doing her thing.... I hit her with a molasses watering last night and she frosted up today! And now she gives off a super sweet, kind of tangy scent. Dont worry, I rub the branch calyxes, not the buds haha. I will be feeding her with the usual ratio of FF nutes(10ml Big Bloom, 5ml Grow Big + Tiger Bloom). Also up until this point, I've been giving her foliar spray with 5ml/1gal Calmag+. I will no longer be doing that to combat relatively high humidity I've had over the past week.
