Still pulling top fan leaves to allow the side branches to catch up to the main stem. Plants are enjoying the new root space and increased feed.

Overview of my grow: Tent: Secret Jardin DS120 4 x 4 (120 cm by 120 cm) Lights: 2 x 120 Watt CTlite c4 clusterled Climat: Trotec Dehumidifyer 240 watt- 10L/24h Filter: Prima Klima carbon filter PK2600 fan: 2 x Secret Jardin 20watt osc. fan Pots: Gronest 4 x 11 liter airpots Water : automated water system PH: bluelab Nutrients: Plagron cocos A + B Plagron PK 13/14 ATA cal/mag Epsom salt no rights to music in the videos Week 8 She is doing great, She has grown another 3 cm in height. This plant is freaking amazing, at day 53 buds are going to look like really hazy buds, really sativa flower building ,flower on flower. It is really beginning to have the looks of some silverhaze at day 56 insain i think. This is one of the fast autoflower i did.I mean she is not even flowering full 5 weeks. Another thing is she is smelling big time now, It is a strong powerfull smell most dominant diesel smell, even more diesel then the brooklys sunrise i'm also doing at this moment. I also smell some sweetness and lemonish, both more in the background. Thanks for checking ๐Ÿ˜‹

Week 9 for 9lb Hammer F2 Plants in veg have been loving the stormy rain weather for sure ๐Ÿ˜‚ They are getting much wider in size. Still not loving these 2 but the bigger they get the more they are growing on me. The pots are the heaviest they could be๐Ÿ˜… Extremely saturated from the heavy rain fall. Wont need to be watering any of them for a while...

I had a lot of fun with this strain and it was grown against 400 growers so let me say PHENO hunting is a true thing. Overall the Bud was a nice dense structure and the smoke on it was smooth and the high nice and even.

Jour42 defolliation and LST Jour45 defolliation Jour47 arrosage avec de l'eau ph6.3 ร  laquelle j'ajoute 1ml par litre d'eau de topmax biobizz La plante entre maintenant en floraison c'est donc le dรฉbut du stretch Explication en anglais (Stretch explanations more) EXPOSURE TO LIGHT One of the main culprits in abnormal stretching of cannabis plants is the lack of light. Plants that are too far from an adequate light source will respond by accelerating stem growth in order to get closer to the lamp themselves. Especially when there are many other plants. A lack of lighting can easily cause overcrowding in a growing chamber, reducing the steady progression of your crop and the distance ratio between your bulbs and your plants. To address this problem, be sure to provide enough light to your plants to prevent stem growth. At the same time, you should not position your lights too close to your plants either since this would also result in an over-stretching of the stems and in some cases, the loss of your crop. In addition to the distance between the light source and the plant, the type of light you will use also affects the size of the stretching of your crop. The orange and red lights encourage stretching and result in thinner, larger stems. And conversely, blue light stimulates a growth of thicker stems and a smaller size. When a species is ready to enter the vegetative phase and undergo its most drastic stretching period, metal halide lamps can be used to deter far too long stems. THE HEAT Heat is another essential element that can determine the stretch size of your plants during vegetation. Temperatures above 27 degrees push the stems to lengthen more and more and will propel the potential of sativas to push as high as possible. Heat lamps that are positioned too close to plants create an intolerable environment that will grow large, soft plants that will potentially wobble until they fall and lose flowers in its fall. OTHER CAUSES OF STRETCHING There are multiple variables that can lead to the stretching of plants beyond what could normally be expected of the plant. Environmental stressors resulting from transplantation (when a plant passes from one pot to another) can cause the plant to return to shock. This will eventually trigger a reaction causing a stretch. Cannabis plants that are not grown in decent conditions or do not receive enough nutrients will respond in a variety of ways and this includes stretching. Crops that are not spaced far enough apart are likely to stretch to sting the light to other plants. Due to extreme proximity, the plants will fight among themselves to reach the light, forcing them to expand as much as possible throughout the crop. HOW TO CONTROL STRETCHING DURING FLOWERING Stretching during flowering, you guessed it, takes place when you move your plants from the vegetation stage to the flowering stage. This is a completely normal reaction, as your plants are preparing to bear the weight of their heads. Stretching of a plant at the beginning of flowering varies widely; some plants can double in height while others grow only a few centimetres. There are, however, two main variables that can give you at least an idea of how your plants are stretching during flowering, and how much. Here are these two variables: Variety: Genetics has the greatest impact on the size of your plant. In general, sativa varieties stretch more than indicas and tend to develop long, slender stems. Light: Some lights, such as HPS, are more likely to encourage stretching. In addition, great distances between your canopy and your lights will cause the plants to stretch as they try to get closer to the light source. Stretching during flowering usually lasts the first two weeks of the phase. To minimize stretching, keep your lights between 10 (for CFL) and 30 centimetres (for HID) of your canopy. Finally, choose indica varieties if you have a smaller growing space. HOW TO AVOID STRETCHING In many cases, you can expect your cannabis plants to stretch during the flowering phase. Keeping that in mind helps to make a plan in case your species ends up growing much more than you could have imagined. If the information is available, get information on the standard size of your species and compare it to the size of your growing space taking into account the necessary distances between the bulbs and the plants. TRAFFIC While outdoor crop operations benefit from natural air to naturally limit stretching, indoor crops must assume the maintenance of air circulation within a confined space. Basic ventilation is enough to help the cannabis stems strengthen and become thicker rather than too high. In this way, the plants continue to grow vigorously without reaching heights and at the same time, your tolerance ceiling. MANUAL INTERVENTION For growers who want to get their hands dirty, there are physical procedures that can be done to reduce stretching. Similar to the natural effect that the wind has on cannabis plants, manually bending the leaves and stems will cause tiny cracks in the plant's tissues that will cause the plant to focus on regenerating its wounds instead of its vertical growth. THE TOPPING Topping is a form of manual intervention on cannabis to influence its performance, shape or size. In essence, topping is a process in which a new node is cut, growing from the plant to reduce its size and create a "v"-shaped notch that will eventually form two heads. Topping may be an effective measure to combat stretching, but it is important not to do so when the flowering phase begins. In most cases, an abnormal stretch of cannabis plants will not completely destroy your crop. In fact, stretching can indeed help increase your performance. For growers with a growing operation large enough to contain tall plants, stretching can increase the total yield of a species with more vertical space for head formation. In both cases, stretching can easily be planned in advance and there are multiple solutions to help you with this problem which is all too common. May the force be with you ๐Ÿ’ช

Day 78๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ™‚๐ŸŠ This lady is doing her great job, Buda are increasing rapidly ๐ŸŒฑ difference between top flower and bottom is evident. For this reason Iโ€™m quite sure Iโ€™m going to cut in two times, around 85/87 days Iโ€™ll cut the high part of biggest bud and around day 95 the rest of the plant. Day 80๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ™‚๐ŸŠ Iโ€™m going to go up to 90/95 days, smell now is really strong ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿคฃ I keep giving some water when is really dry because some parts of the plant still needs it. Day 81 ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ™‚๐ŸŠ Hi all fellows, today a big defoliation cleaning to improve light in the bottom Part of the plant before harvest. I tought to harvest in like 10 days but as I have some water yesterday I noticed that sheโ€™s been quite not drinking anymore. Iโ€™ll give another 2/3 days before harvest. I will be perfectly in 85 days from seeding. Smell is crazy now, I can smell cotton, orange, chocolate, pinus.. canโ€™t wait to try it. Letโ€™s see! ANY SUGGESTION IS REALLY WELCOME ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Another rough week...high temps and horribly arid conditions, and still the grasshoppers appear every damn day! I'm beginning to think I have a root aphid problem. Mysterious Mg deficiencies for two grows. Also looking like phosphorous deficiency as well..no way... She's popping pistils now...just a few so far..

Week 6 went well. The buds are putting out a second wave of pistils and are starting to fatten up. Jilly is starting to smell more and put out more trichs on sugar leaves. She smells very sweet and fruity so far.

Tangie'Matic coming along nicely. Nice size buds, smells really good, and good color overall. She's quite a bit smaller than my first Tangie'Matic. But I have a feeling this girl is going to taste better (fingers crossed).
