Weekly Update: Leaf Tugging, Taping Accidents & Fresh Nutes Another week down! Since my last update on October 4th, the plants have been moving along, though Plant #1 remains a magnet for drama. Here is how the week played out inside the tent: October 5th – October 7th: Smooth Operations & Topping Nothing too major to report during the first few days of the week. Just routine maintenance like removing a few fan leaves here and there to improve airflow and canopy light penetration. I also went ahead and topped the main side shoots above the 3rd node on both plants to continue building out our mainlining structure. October 8th (Thursday): The Care Bears Under Pressure Decided to do a little bit of leaf tugging. Working with only one hand struck again. I managed to split a side shoot clean down the node on the already heavily battered Plant #1. I quickly wrapped it with some tape and braced it up. At this point, the Care Bears sitting in the pumice are working overtime… and honestly, doing a much better job than I am with my single hand! October 9th (Friday): Full Reservoir Change Time for a fresh start. Drained the buckets completely and mixed up a fresh batch of nutrient solution. Dialed in the parameters right on the spot: EC 1.5 mS/cm and pH 5.5. The roots welcomed the clean drink immediately. Good thing the buckets were already half empty from the girls drinking them down. October 10th (Saturday): Zero Intervention Life got busy and I didn't even get a chance to open the tent. Honestly, leaving the plants alone for a full 24 hours is probably the best gift I can give Plant #1 right now to let those taped nodes heal in peace. October 11th (Today): Spontaneous Topping & Heavy Defoliation I opened up the tent today to take photos for this weekly log and had a sudden change of plans. Seeing how much Plant #2 is outstripping Plant #1, I made a spontaneous decision: I topped Plant #2 again to aim for 16 main tops instead of 8! This serves a dual purpose: it slows down Plant #2's vertical surge and buys much-needed time for Plant #1 to recover from her injuries and catch up. While I was in there, I also gave both plants a generous defoliation session to open up the canopy for all the new tops. What do you guys think, when is the right time to switch to flower? Hopefully next week's post will mark the switch to 12|12!

Day 29 - Things going along nicely .... i trimmed down some of the bigger bottom leaves, i didn't have enough soil to fill the pots, and the plants are short, bushy, weird little things, that filled out the inside of the pots..... they are only 15cm tall, but the leaves are 10+ cm .... really weird little plants.... haha.... i decided to trim the fk out of one of the ones in the double pot, and practiced topping on her.... i'll cut her down maybe trimmer her of the pot, and focus on just the 2........ they seem to be still growing upwards, so i'm not in a hurry to put em into flower mode......... on the main one i noticed some neut deficiencies ... so i upped the neuts.... should be ok, i put a good heavy neut and it stopped the spots etc..... i think some bug or something got in the double pot and is livin in there, but he doesn't eat much, haha....... the main stalks are as big as my thumb and under each canopy is all the branches..... it's really strange, to go in under all the growth and see it all .... they look kinda small, but the entire under canopy of leaves is all full .... i'm moving the huge sized leaves out and pulling each branch up over them as they grow..... this is 21 THC and 19 CBD, so it's all the good stuff for medicine ... the smell is getting abit noticable and i'm hoping the exhaust fan arrives from china soon.... just got positive ventilation into a carbon fil. ... and daily air out........ i think i had the led lights too low..... so i'll raise em abit more and see if i can get em to stretch .... Day 30 -- added some video's...... daylight vids... worth watchin for a laugh ...... first grow, so idk what i'm doin, ... any help/comments appreciated Day 32 -- added some pics of the late night trim and LST,... idk looks ok.... Day 34 -- added a video...

Video 7: An overview video of the babies, moments before i performed the first topping/man-linning/prunning/LST on the biggest gorilla. The other one is recovering at time from those ugly color marks she has on them leaves. As the leaves seems not healthy i decided to not perform the man-lining on this one until it has a pair of healthy main leaves on which i can trust to guide. Video 11: Main Gorilla ultrafast topping/man-linning/prunning/LST. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- I traveled to Venecia this week and i have very few photos, also i returned with a terrible flu, so i'm not going to take too much photos for the next week too, i'm so sorry. I'm a bit scared about what happened to the gorilla that looks sick, the other one is growing like a monster, is almost double size comparing with the other 3 plants, this week i've seen enough distances on the plant to start with the techniques. I must say that she responded very well to the pruning... Also this week i'm going to apply a foliar irrigation to see if i can help to the sick gorilla. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 12/03/19 - 700 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.95 E.C. PH5.9 12/03/19 - FOLIAR - Used about 25 ml of (200 ml water with 1ml Pro Active, 2 ml Plant Vitality + and 0.1 ml Foliar Spray) *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- Vídeo 1: TimeLapse de 7 días, 1 imagen cada 60 segundos @ 30fps, observad la maravillosa danza de las nenas y cómo crecen. Video 7: Un vídeo general del armario, está grabado momentos antes de realizar las técnicas de cultivo sobre la mejor de las gorilas. La otra se sigue reponiendo de esas manchas feas que le salieron en las hojas. Ya que las hojas parecen enfermas, he decidido no hacer el man-lining hasta que no tenga un par de hojas saludables en las que poder confiar para hacer el guiado y alimentar los brotes. Video 11: Vídeo super rápido del topping, man-lining, podado y entrenamiento. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- He viajado esta semana a Venecia y tengo pocas fotos, también he vuelto con una gripe del horror por lo que también voy a disponer de pocas fotos la semana que viene, disculpas por anticipado. Estoy un poco preocupado por la Gorila que parece enferma, la otra crece como un monstruo, si la comparas con las otras es casi el doble de cualquiera de ellas. Esta semana ya siento suficiente espacio en la planta para comenzar con las técnicas. He de decir que responderá muy bien al podado. Esta semana también aplicaré un riego foliar a ver si ayuda a la gorila enferma. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 12/03/19 - 700 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0,95 E.C. PH5,9 12/03/19 - FOLIAR - He usado unos 25 ml de (200 ml de agua con 1ml Pro Active, 2 ml Plant Vitality + y 0,1 ml Foliar Spray)

Die Pflanze hatte etwas Hitze Stress und Wassermangel aber wird sich denke ich gut erholen. Sonst die Buds sehen sehr gut aus und werden immer größer und kompakter bzw. schließen sich gut zusammen. Heute ca. beginnt die 6 Blüten Woche.

Privileged Baddie - Anesia Seeds Week 3 of Bloom 🌸 She's one of the smallest girl in the tent, so I've had to prop her up towards the light, but she looks fantastic and is working hard on developing her flower 💪🏻 From today, all the girls have been moved into a 8x4 tent, because the 5x5 has been hard to manage. ✂️ No work on her this week, I'm just letting her grow. 💧 Watered every three days with 2L of RO water, with nutrients mixed individually, in order and then finally, I pH'd the solution to 6.3. I've increased all of her nutrients, now that she is focusing on developing her flower, she'll need it. 💡 PPFD: ~850 ♒ VPD: 1.32kPa 🌱 Days from seed: 87 🌸 Days in Bloom: 26

Gonna chop some of this on Saturday against everyone's best advice. Apologies, but I've just got to see for myself what happens. Some credible looking videos on YouTube say I will lose potency in striving for a larger yield. This grow should produce enough to carry me until the tent is ready for harvest. Nothing but bad weather ahead. Humidity is up in the 90s at night. Rains came in a day early and caught me flatfooted. Will wait and see if my first-timer's luck holds. Got a break and had an afternoon of sunshine. The boxes dried out and I re-taped the joints. No light leakage. 7 days of rain ahead. During defoliation I accidentally cut a couple of buds. Set 'em in the sun to dry (which they didn't really do). Put 'em in the bowl and took a hit. OMG ... cerebral ... just what I was hoping for!! If I can get this harvest in I'm gonna do the Happy Dance.

The get finally get going. Only water this week. Topping #1 and #2 over 5th node on day 33. I guess I was kinda curious and ate the cut tops after giving them a rinse. They tasted great, kinda sweet&sour, reminded me of grapes that are not fully ripened and green. Also a bit parsly.

These plants are going insane! I’m loving the bushy structure that I’ve been building with the plant clips. Canopies are looking great. Not going to make them too much wider so now we will work on getting them bigger & stronger which isn’t going to be an issue. The two gorilla plants are revegging back. Definitely must of shocked them bringing them outdoors. The only two plants/same strain that started to flower. No big deal as they are smaller and it will be easier for them to get back to the vegging stage which signs are already showing with new leaves. So far very happy with These seeds from Spliff seeds. The Two Blueberry & Gold Rush plants are killing it. I’m really excited for the blueberry! ?

Happy New Everyone 😀 🙏🙏 I have now got all of my Photoperiod Girls under a Greenhouse. Its only an elcheapo from Ebay but I reinforced it with a heap of good old Gaffer tape and Zipties. I also ran guide ropes to the ground at the corners for Protection against heavy winds so hopefully it'll stay put. The Wifi Plant just keeps growing and growing and will soon need some type of branch support and I'm thinking of using some of those plant yo yo's. The white residue you can see on the leaves is Diatomaceous earth. I mixed some into the worm/mollasses tea just before I sprayed my plants with it. It acts as a bug deterrent and can't hurt the plant in any way. I also mix some into the worm tea that I feed straight to the soil as Diatomaceous Earth is a fantastic source of Silica which we all know is extremely beneficial to your Plants Health. As Far as my super soil is concerned , so far I have not needed to feed the plants any fertilisers as the soil is providing everything the plant needs. All ive been adding is biodynamic food for the soil itself to keep everything under the surface happy and well nourished. Once flowering begins next month I will need to add an organic Booster to the soil that will replace any depleted resources. Because I only feed water throughout the grow there is no need for any final flush I can simply Harvest when it's ready and dry/cure etc. Thankyou for reading this weeks update 2nd January 2020 👍

Feeding time! She was starting to show signs of hunger but wanted to time the last feed appropriately. Couldn’t be happier with her development none the less. HLG’s Elite 360 and Gaia Green are just killing the game! Cheers 🍻
