Hey All,

I just wanted to start a flowering journal.

One thing to note: I did a pretty good leaf strip on 2 plants, and only minor lollipopping on the other 2. Theyre from seed, but all S1 from the same mother. It wont be a perfect experiment, but I wanted to get a better idea of defoliation vs lollipop only.

Week 2 started yesterday, and while the mother more than tripled in height, these seem to be going slower, I think due to less N than I used before

(AN ph perfect trio 1:1:1 before, lucas formula +bloom boosters now)

system is diy rdwc, 20ish gal rez, 4x 3.5 gal sites, 400gph water pump, 30w +20w air pumps.

light is a mars hydro fc-e6500, currently at 14" 60% power.

The stretch isnt as drastic so far as expected, so I upped my night temps to 69 F. I also added some N nutes, Ill do a full water change on day 21, and go back to primarily bloom nutes.

Pistils are showing!

Because of the red stems, Im adding more calmag. I upped my night temps to 69F, this doesnt give me much day/night temp swing, but I think 66 was too low and is slowing down growth.

I added a dehumidifier to my lung room, because my RH was going up to 75% during the day. Will update with where it lands in the tent once I know more.

Im still picking off tiny shoots near the bottom of the stems, and even pruned a couple stems that made it up pretty high, but looked lanky and not worth keeping.

Im still looking at a very full canopy, and raised my light to 18" to try to get a bit more vertical growth.

Ok so Im into week 3, most of the stems are above the net, but the stretch is still very slow compared to the mother of these plants. I installed my carbon filter, and theres 0 smell outside my tent now.

We're into week 5 now, did a full water change, ive topped it off with 5 gallons on nute water since then, ppms are at 1200, light is at 80%

Ill up it to 90% for week 7 and 100% for week 8, along with a big dose of koolbloom powder, no micro.

Halfway through week 7 now, buds are starting to almost connect. I'm trying to get my nutes right so that I can go at least 9 weeks, last time I went that long I had some herming.

Its been a full 8 weeks now, I harvested the runt plant, the front right one.

The other 3 plants Im planning to let go another week, maybe 2, depending on what I see.

Trichomes are still 60% clear, 40% cloudy, 1 or 2 stray amber.
