February 23, 2021 (Week 7, Day 50, Flower 1): It's the first day of flower! The plants slept for 12 hours last night and will keep that up until harvest. Still seeing pretty crazy growth even for the 12 hours of darkness they went through. Grew about another .5". Excited to see how much these things stretch. Soil was very dry this morning so I watered with 4l of water per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 2ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 1ml/l Big Bud + 1ml Cal-Mag Plus + 1/4 tsp/gal Humboldt Nutrients Big Up Flower Powder with a pH of 5.8. Runoff pH of 6.3. I will start watering with a 6.0 solution going forward. I also top dressed with about an inch of fresh Roots Organics Lush soil. Plants are looking great. Not seeing any problems currently. I'll keep a close eye on them as they transition. Turned down humidity another 5% today. Averaging 50% rH and 73℉.
February 24, 2021 (Week 7, Day 51, Flower 2): Plants look great. Soil still moist from watering. Tilled half inch of topsoil. Averaging 50% rH and 73℉. Nothing else for today.
February 25, 2021 (Week 7, Day 52, Flower 3): No complaints at all. These plants are as healthy as they can be from what I can tell. The growth sites are starting to do some funky stuff and everything is kind of starting to "clump" together. Really interesting to watch this process happen, as I've always wondered exactly how the buds begin to form. I was greeted with a very sweet smell when I opened my tent this morning, nothing strong yet. To encourage further vertical growth I've removed all LST ties except for two from Gelato 1 and Unknown 2. I adjusted the ties on Unknown 1 because it's already starting to stretch and I need it to slow down just a bit while the others catch up. Soil is semi-moist this morning but the pots are still pretty heavy, so I'll water in a day or two. Averaging 50% rH and 72℉.
February 26, 2021 (Week 7, Day 53, Flower 4): Pots were light today so watered with 4l per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 2ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 1ml/l Big Bud + 1ml Cal-Mag Plus at 6.0 pH. Runoff sitting at 6.4 pH. Defoliated one more node on each growth stem - the lollipop look is coming around. It will probably be my last defoliation like this. From now on I'll only pluck fan leaves that get in the way of bud sites. Unknown 1 grew over 2" in the last 24 hours. The stretch is getting real. I removed all remaining LST ties from Gelato 1 and Unknown 2. I redid the LST ties on Unknown 1 in an attempt to control its growth, but at this point I feel like it's just going to be a lanky plant and there's nothing I can do about it. I'll do my best to keep them as level as I can. Also, I took off Unknown 2's stem cast today and it healed really, really well. I have never seen a plant do this, but it filled itself in with tissue that is soft to the touch, and there's only a slight split at the top. It's looking really great. My wife noticed the smell of the plants this morning for the first time - so that's a good sign! Plants are starting to put off a lot of their own humidity, so I haven't refilled my humidifier in days. Averaging 50% rH and 72℉. Happy Friday everyone! 👻
February 27, 2021 (Week 7, Day 54, Flower 5): Soil is still moist - tilled half inch of topsoil. Overnight it appears Gelato 1 and Unknown 2 are doing their damnedest to catch up with Unknown 1 - they both grew about 2". Plants are looking great and are definitely starting to stretch! Averaging 50% rH and 70℉.
February 28, 2021 (Week 7, Day 55, Flower 6): Top soil is pretty dry, but the pots are still heavy. I'll hold off watering for a day or two. The last 24-hour period I think I saw the biggest difference in the plants so far. Each growth stem stretched a ton on each plant, but at varying degrees. The canopy is suddenly uneven, but I think trying to keep everything even at this point will be futile. I will let them go and install the SCROG net soon if the colas start growing too differently from one another. The stipules on every plant tripled in length overnight so I think the plants are definitely getting with the new 12-hour schedule. All the plants are starting to shoot off tons of pre-flowers and pistils now. They're in the swing of things now. Averaging 50% rH and 70℉.
March 1, 2021 (Week 7, Day 56, Flower 7): Soil is dry but pots still have some weight. Will probably water tomorrow. Plants are looking fantastic. Canopy is stretching all over the place. Averaging 50% rH and 70℉.
Looking forward to next week! Hopefully we'll start to see some flowers poking through soon!

WEEK 2:
The plants are now in the second week of the growth phase and appear very vital.
Plant #3 has recovered significantly and appears very vital.
Plant #1 is not quite as lush green, but at the same time it is the least developed. I think it will make up for the slight nutrient deficit.
I repotted the plants in 6L pots and added 5% FLO (Living Soil Fertilizer). I let the soil develop for 14 days beforehand. Clear mycelia have formed and the soil has a very pleasant forest floor smell.
- Light Power: 40%
- Soil: BioBizz Light Mix + 5% FLO (Living Soil Fertilizer)
- Additives: Dynomyco mycorrhiza granules

Moved them inside last week and then chopped one down. Rot was taking over quickly. Buds hadn’t fully formed underneath but the main colas and tops were ok. Bit disappointing but the weather has just been terrible where I am this autumn 😂 what can you do.

DAY 1: I have removed some bottom small and not enough-lightet branches and also made some small defoliation to increate air circulation.
DAY 3: Again some minimal defoliation to increase airflow (since LST which I made is not ideally). Additionally, next watering! Since last 6 days, today was the first day when I noticed little drop of lower leaves due to lack of water. I would say, it is a very good result after using self-watering base. I will also add some clay pebbles on the top of the pot, also reducing light slightly to reduce temperature and water consumption. Next photos tomorrow!
DAY 5: Watered plant with 3L of water with nutrients. Additionally filled basis and everything else with totally 14L of water with pH 6.3.

first day after a 12h night cycle, still have a big gnat problem. gonna go buy new bacteria, stickies and DT Earth. the grow shop just let me know that they got it back in stock but i haven't been able to find nematóides. doesn't seem to be a common practice here. i haven't watered them in a few days. the top soil is bone dry but the plants don't look like they're requesting water just yet so i think it's a good time to lay down the new dt earth and new yellow traps to see if we can kill the remainder. gonna grab some flowering ferts too while I'm at it.
Update:
got a bigger pot and some supergrow soil, only had time to transplant one of them today. but I decided to after them one more cycle before i do the DT earth.
update:
dt earth added, seems to be alright but not quite dry enough

start of week 4: i cut off the fanleaves to give the stems light.
a day after that there is still water drooping out of the cuts like it doesnt heal ?
weird.
it has been a bit cold at night, the humidity also swings a lot but they grow, when the lights go out leaves curl up like they are freezing.
the video here is when the lights have been on for 8hours already, when they in the dark they look dead lol

Week 6 of flower, the buds are fattening up and triching out. The terps are super sweet and very potent smelling. I haven't seen very many nanners or balls lately, but I have seen them popping through the buds occasionally. I still inspect daily, but some days I don't find any, so I hope it won't give me too many seeds. I did notice that the bud that gets the most intense light has started having tips pointed upwards and flipping its leaves. I attributed this to heat stress, so I moved that light over bit.
Day 38 update: this last week I was only watering with distilled water and the yellowing has progressed, so I assume I was right about the nitrogen deficiency noted a couple weeks back. Today I top-fed with a homemade fast acting high nitrogen organic fertilizer, we will see if this helps. Also nothing in my current flowering feeding regime has a lot of nitrogen, so I think this will likely solve the problems. I have also decided to give them an extra 15 minutes darkness for a total of 13.25 hours darkness, 7.5 minutes extra on each end, tell them its almost time to finish with ~4 weeks left.
Day 40 update: still been pulling herm balls and nanners off the big one, the others seem to have stopped, but i still check them daily. Gonna be slightly seeded for sure, but I hope not too much. Also, the yellowing seems to have been managed after that nitrogen feed.

🌼 Flowering – Week 2 (Days 36–42)
10/18 (Day 36 – Start of Week 5):
Watered with the same nutrient solution as last week (2.5 ml/L CalMag + 1.4 ml/L Coco A + 1.4 ml/L Coco B).
Not adding PK yet — I’ll wait until the stretch fully ends before introducing it.
Measured heights today: tallest = 122 cm, shortest = 61 cm, average = 84 cm.
Did not measure runoff this time.
10/19 (Day 37):
Average vertical growth today: +4.66 cm, showing the stretch is slowing down.
Watered again with the same solution as yesterday.
The canopy remains uneven, with clear height differences between phenotypes — I’ll adjust pot heights soon to improve light distribution.
Plants look healthy overall, no visible stress or nutrient issues.
10/20 (Day 38):
Watered with water + CalMag + AN Micro (micronutrient maintenance day).
Adjusted the height of the shorter pots, and now PPFD across the canopy is much more uniform.
Average daily growth was +5.33 cm — the defoliation slowed them down briefly, but they’ve regained momentum.
The tallest plant is now 132 cm, and I’ve had to raise the lights to their maximum height — any further stretch could become a problem for space.
10/21 (Day 39):
Watered with the same nutrient solution as before, increasing total volume to 1.5 L per plant to achieve about 25% runoff.
Performed a massive defoliation — foliage density was too high, and the dehumidifier couldn’t keep up with transpiration.
Suspect that the excessive stretch was partially due to insufficient light intensity, since readings were only ~360 PPFD when ideal for this stage is 500–600 PPFD.
Raised light intensity to 430 PPFD to gradually correct this.
10/22 (Day 40):
Same watering as yesterday (1.5 L, ~25% runoff).
Runoff: EC 1000, pH 6.6
Plants look strong and are adapting well to the increased light.
Tomorrow I’ll introduce PK 13/14 at low dosage to initiate the first phase of bloom boosting.
10/23 (Day 41):
Watered with 1.5 L.
Introduced 0.3 ml/L PK 13/14 (first light dose) and 0.5 ml/L AN Micro after noticing one plant showing small brown spots between leaf veins (possible early micronutrient deficiency).
Runoff: EC 1000, pH 6.6
Plants look stable overall, no visible stress from new additives.
10/24 (Day 42 – End of Week 5):
Watered again with the same solution as yesterday.
Input/Runoff: EC 1000, pH 6.6
Humidity has been difficult to control — RH stays around 60%, which lowers VPD.
Planning to increase airflow and raise temperature slightly to improve VPD levels and moisture evacuation.
Week 5 Summary
🌸 Stage: End of stretch and transition to full flower development.
📈 Growth: Height stabilized around 130 cm (tallest). Stretch nearly complete.
⚙️ Feeding:
Base mix: 2.5 CalMag + 1.4 A/B (EC 1300).
Runoff steady at EC 1000 / pH 6.6, indicating perfect nutrient uptake.
Introduced PK 13/14 (0.3 ml/L) and AN Micro (0.5 ml/L) for bloom support.
💧 Watering: 1.5 L with 25–30% runoff per plant. No salt buildup detected.
💡 Lighting:
PPFD increased from 360 → 430 µmol/m²/s after noticing under-lighting.
Canopy adjusted by raising pots; more uniform distribution achieved.
✂️ Defoliation: Heavy leaf removal on Day 39 to control RH and open airflow.
🌡️ Environment: RH stable around 60%, but VPD slightly low (target ~1.2 kPa).
Working to improve air exchange and temperature for better balance.
🌿 Overall health: Strong recovery after defoliation, no new deficiencies or stress. Early bud stacking visible.
➡️ Plan for Week 6 – Flowering Week 3 (Days 43–49)
🎯 Objective: Consolidate flowering, strengthen bud sites, and maintain climate stability.
Nutrients:
Maintain base feed at EC 1300–1400 µS, pH 5.8 ± 0.1.
Increase PK 13/14 slightly to 0.4–0.5 ml/L if no stress appears.
Keep AN Micro 0.5 ml/L once per week for micronutrient balance.
Environment:
Target VPD 1.1–1.3 kPa (temp ~26–27 °C, RH 50–55%).
Improve dehumidification and circulation — consider stronger exhaust or intake fan cycles.
Lighting:
Increase PPFD to 500-600 µmol/m²/s.
Monitor for any light stress at canopy level (tallest plants close to the lamp).
Defoliation:
No more heavy pruning — just remove large leaves shading bud sites.
Observation:
Track bud swelling and trichome development.
Watch humidity closely during night cycles to avoid mold risk.

The plants are doing great (I think ?). Gave a molasses and silica watering . Also constantly checking for bugs & PM, which is rampant in another section of the my garden. Also added a layer of mushroom compost to GZ & the MPs.
WC is getting closer to harvest as I am seeing some amber on the sugar leaves. I understand that sugar leaves turn first and intense heat/sun can cause premature amber. I have been having hard time seeing with the jewelers loupe that I have, so I ordered a digital microscope for the phone which should make it easier.
Nose:
Same as previous week, except MP#1 finally expressed that she is 100% strawberry. Still nothing noticable on MP#3 yet.

3/25/21 - Today I fed with a little bit of Big Bloom. They really seem to respond well to it.
3/26/21 - They look great! No feeding today. I removed the humidity dome today. We are transplanting into the grow closet on 4/01/21. They will be in the grow closet until harvest under LED.
3/27/21 - Autopilot today. No feeding. I’ll feed tomorrow with more Big Bloom. They could be transplanted today but we are going to run the rest of this week.
3/28/21 - Fed with Big Bloom. All plants have roots coming out of the bottom of the cups. We’ll be moving them to 5 gallon fabric pots in a few days.
3/29/21 - No water today. They all look good. Transplant day is coming!
3/30/21 - I put some water in the tray so the plants could get water if needed. I don’t think they need any water today.
3/31/21 - I gave each plant a small feeding of Big Bloom. Tomorrow they will be transplanted into 5 gallon fabric pots of Fox Farm Ocean Forest and be given water for at least 2 weeks. See ya on week 4!
