GregWaka For the first weeks I am using two T5s for the early growth with a humidity dome so I can finish the flowering of a plant inside my grow tent, as soon as I have harvested it (should be in 7-10 days from now) I will transfer my plants inside the grow tents with a 600W MH lamp.
For the nutrients, I have started the schedule at the end of the 1st week. I plan to do one watering with only water and one with nutes and so on.
The nutrient schedule I follow is the one from GHE.
This is my second grow so I tried 2 different mix and the other 2 in jiffy pellets.
The smallest one is in a homemade mix of coco peat & perlite, the other one is a store-bought mix of: Coco Coir, Worm Castings, Compost, Perlite (10%), Vermiculite, Volcanic Rock Dust, Bone Meal, Gypsum, Fermented probiotic bran, Organic nutrients.
It seems like I will use the store-bought mix when I will transplant next week.

GregWaka The good news is my plants are now inside my grow tent since yesterday and they are now enjoying the light of a 400W MH and they are looking quite healthy especially the 2 inside the peat pellets (I will put them in pots of the same size of the others tomorrow). Now the bad news is that one of them is way smaller than the others, but I am trying different mediums so that might be why, and the bigger one has some weird growth (deformed leaf) and there is no new growth on top like if it was topped. If you have any ideas on what is the problem or how to solve it if it's possible your help would be appreciated. I will post some new pictures in a few days regarding that problem.
GregWaka I am still alternating the watering cycle, one time nutrients, one time plain water
They were topped during this week and transplant to bigger pots. I will most likely transplant them to their final 10L pots at the end of next week.

GregWaka Hey guys,
Yesterday I started the LST on my plants, added some bamboo sticks and made some holes on the sides of my pots to give me some grips to tied my plants up.
For the structure I'm trying different styles, for example for the smaller one I will try to grow her in a spiral and the other ones will be more simple I'll say.
I have also cut some of the large fan leaves that was blocking the lower growth from the light. (I did cut just one or two on each plant, didnt want to stress them too much) And one or two small lower shoots that would never get the light necessary to grow correctly.
Any tips/advice are welcomed.
Y'all keep watching and I'll keep growing ;) shoot out to Mr tight

GregWaka The bigger one was transplanted early in week 7 while the 3 others at the end of the week, into 10L round pots.
I have also topped my 3 smaller plants in the beginning of the week 7 so they had time to recover before the transplant.
This means the bigger plant was topped only once because it grew directly into two main stems.

GregWaka I have switched to flowering on the 06/05/2019, the pictures are from the end of that week, 11/05/2019.
It seems like one of the plant has a nutrient deficiency or some other problem, but I can't find what's the problem, the soil pH is around 6 and my nutrient solutions is around 5.5.
I was unable to take pictures last week so I can't add the week 8, but I want to specify, during week 8 I used a different nutrient proportion for pre-flowering stage, here's a detail:
FloraGrow: 2 ml/L
Flora Micro: 2 ml/L
FloraBloom: 1.5 ml/L
Diamond Black: 4 ml/L
Seaweed: 5 ml/L
Urtica: 30 ml/L
Diamond Nectar: 2 ml/L
I'm missing the Bio bud nutrient from GHE, but I could not find it..
GregWaka Yo guys,
It's the beginning of a new week and from now on I will give more updates with more pictures.
Well, I still have some problems with two of my plants, some leaves are yellow on the sides, other than that it seems like they're growing like they should.
Do you guys think it's too late to remove the small, weak bud sites that are not exposed to light?
2 days ago when I opened my tent, I saw some kind of white/translucid liquid on the leaves, I'm really not sure where is it coming from. I have updated the diary with pictures showing the problem.
Humidity is normal and I haven't change anything in my set-up.
that's moisture coming from leafs..you can remove those biggest fan leafs facing inwards and also make sure that there is enough air movement. That moisture is there after darkness right? so nothing to worry just make sure that there is enough that air movement!
Happy growing!
Nice job on the potting up my friend 👍
Let them put roots down in the new homes and we will see some explosive growth 👌
Please keep the updates coming mate 👊
All the best ✌️
Mark..
Firstly thank you for choosing our Critical+2.0 for this adventure on the grow diary platform 👍
Secondly very cool to see you experimenting with a "store" brought medium and one "homemade" 😎
Personally I think you homemade mix will work best 👍
Good luck with this grow. I'll be along for the ride and watching with interest ✌️
All the best

@GregWaka, Thank you mate 👍
As to your question about removing the lower budsites, if your going to do it get it done now my friend. That way the energy can get diverted into bud production 👌
Good call mate 👍
All the best ✌️
Mark .
