Good afternoon my friend …fertilizing when it is still a seedling is not necessary, only when it has 3 or 4 nodes can you start feeding it little by little. For you, I suggest the minimum dose or half of the minimum, and from then on increase the dose ..
Then I suggest you start a new post of your own for your questions. It’s not that it bothers me, on the contrary, it’s just that in this one I’m tracking mine so whoever wants to see my experience can do so, and if we load it with questions outside of this grow, it loses focus and becomes heavy to read ..
sending a big hug and best of luck with your grow …

Nicol 2 night time …We are finishing week 9 and already with a magnifying glass in hand looking at trichomes searching for an ideal spot for me …I think there’s 1 or 2 weeks left, anyway it’s raining a lot and the forecast says it will stay like this for three more days, so imagine with 100% humidity it’s not looking good at all .

Good evening !!! Still in the race in search of the disc !!! both of them already received their last salt-loaded feast and although I didn’t really like how I handled the nutrition due to my lack of experience, it was a very good learning experience… I also acquired some Chizito Mandarino from Heavens Fruit Argentina for the next grow, which is a winner of several cups in the country, a great strain with a Cheetos aroma and flavor hahaha
Starting next week, the flushes will come, and I lowered the panel intensity to 75% as suggested by the manufacturer.

I think you’ve done an excellent grow job
I feel you on the humidity, even here in Germany it’s wet and humid at the moment. Great for veg phases, but mid to late flowering

Overall Summary Total EC Reduction From 2100 µS/cm** to 734 µS/cm

(drop of 1366 µS/cm / ~65% desalination).

• ​pH Evolution: Stabilized from 5.8 to 6.2, guaranteeing a final environment without accumulated acidity.
• ​Diagnosis: Substrate purified of bottled fertilizers/heavy salts, preserving only organic natural conductivity and micro-life.

​ Next Steps

1. ​Pot Drying Period: 5 to 6 days without watering.
2. ​Monitoring: Observe progressive discoloration of leaves (natural yellowing/autophagy).
3. ​Chop / Harvest: Scheduled after complete drying of the substrate.

It’s beautiful

Good afternoon !!! Thank you so much … many mistakes that we learned from and will improve in the next grow … a hug

Awesome great photo series looks amazing

BAD NEWS OVER HERE !!!

Isolated Botrytis on Nicole 2

• ​Diagnosis and Severity: A single focus of botrytis was detected on a specific flower of Nicole 2. It was a completely isolated case; the rest of the plant and the tent are spotless and showing no signs of systemic infection.
• ​Main Causes:
  1. ​Extreme Weather Context: An uninterrupted streak of more than 30 days of rain and saturated outdoor humidity, causing the intake air coming into the tent to already be hyper-humid.
  2. ​Accumulation from Flushing: The massive root flush added a large volume of water to the substrate amidst this unfavorable weather, raising the relative humidity inside the space.
  3. ​Specific Microclimate (Localized Lack of Airflow): The fact that it was a single flower confirms it is not an issue with the entire tent, but rather that in that specific corner a blind spot formed where the air failed to break the pocket of moisture among the densest calyxes.
• ​Corrective Action Applied:
  • ​Surgical Removal: The affected area was removed to eradicate the focus.
  • ​Humidity Control: The thermostatically controlled heaters were turned on, successfully dropping the humidity from a critical 70% to a fully stable 60% at 21.4 °C.
  • ​Airflow Reinforcement: The hanging 20-inch fan was added, operating alongside all intake, exhaust, and circulation at maximum to shield the tent.

They were in their dark period, but from what I got to check, it seems like it’s fine !!!?

Good morning everyone well we’ve reached an optimal point of ripening …but!!!:the outdoor weather conditions are horrible I’ve already lost count of the rainy days we’ve had and looking ahead it seems it will continue like this ( rain and humidity …all here ).
I’m writing and right at this very moment a storm warning arrived for today hahaha.

Good morning everyone, harvest time is already here !!!
The problem is the outdoor weather, and the fear of hanging them with this high humidity is big… It seems that on Sunday around here (Mother’s Day) it will change, so the idea is to keep the plants as they are; I raised the panel, lowered the intensity for maintenance, and I have no choice but to wait for environmental improvements.
The idea was to reach September, the start of summer around here, to have good drying conditions, but climate change and Mother Nature have their own plans.
The buds are looking really nice, they aren’t huge, but they are medium-sized, compact, and rock hard.
That means that with this weather there’s a risk of botrytis.
I’ll keep waiting for improvements and as soon as I can, time to chop

And why don’t you use the grow tent itself to dry it?

Good day, thanks for stopping by !!! yeah that’s the idea but I’m afraid of botrytis … do you think it’s feasible ?

I think so, to be honest. If air renewal and circulation are constant, I don’t see why mold would appear, but if you want, we can wait and see if anyone else replies to see if they do it that way too.

Im drying in my tent right now with constant rain and 90+% humidity outside, with good air flow and circulation i have never had problems doing it this way. I wait for nothing except kid free time when it comes to harvesting.

So it’s my best excuse to wait! It’s raining, 100% humidity, and the kids are at home due to a teachers’ strike I’ll wait one more day and go for it… thank you so much for the tip !!!

I would also dry in the tent; if you wait too long, it will be overripe. Then the effect would only shift towards being sedating, and that would be a shame. In the tent, you can maintain the parameters you need for drying quite well. In summer, it can easily happen that it dries too fast or too much, which would also negatively affect the result.

If I’m checking with a magnifying glass in hand every day, if I see a massive increase of amber trichomes I’ll chop it.. I mean, I’m at that balance point but not past it… a big hug and thanks for the help
