Hey everyone, here we are with my very first grow cycle. After a long time, I finally managed to make it happen. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from the vegetative stage :( I started off really badly because during the 2nd week of veg, we had several blackouts in my building (5/6 hours of darkness for 3 days), and the plants suffered a bit. That's why I extended the vegetative phase by a couple of weeks. The plants had 7 weeks of veg total, and on the last day of week 7, I started the gradual flip, reaching 12/12 over 3 days. During week 5 of veg, I performed heavy LST on all the tops (I didn't do it earlier because the plants needed to recover from the blackout). In the following days, the branches were tied down too, and the plants look bushy. Aside from some Mg deficiency in the Californian Golds, the plants seem fairly healthy overall. Unfortunately, I can't do anything about the (high) temperature. Since I'm growing in a room in the house, the air exchange is what it is.... I hope some of you guys can give me advice for tackling my first-ever flowering stage!!! I'll add better photos soon. Notes: Sensi Star 2/3 seem to have shown a more sativa phenotype, while #1 is more compact and stocky. The Californian Golds seem to suffer more from the Mg deficiency (maybe because they're exposed to higher light intensity?). The Mendocino Skunks show two completely different phenotypes (one dwarf and one more stretched out).
