Did some heavy defoliating today as we hit week 7 of flower. Buds are really plumping up! Hairs are still all white and trics look clear. We had some heavy rains for the past week which raised the humidity to 80. Had signs of powdery mildew on the front right plant. I trimmed most away and adjusted humidity to 50. Noticed some remnants of spider mites and timed away the fan leaves that had any signs.

Plants are now 6 weeks into flower and starting to show some serious buds. The tent looks like it’s full of redwoods! I was gone for a week and had John V water the plants with plain PH’d water while I was gone. Plants took a slight beating on being dry but they are still healthy. I fed them today: (1/4 tsp Micro, 1/8 tsp grow, 3/4 tsp bloom, 1/2 tsp CalMag) / Gal. Ph 5.9 Topped off the smart pots with coco first.

Watered the plants today. (1/4 tsp/gal) Micro, (1/4tsp/gal) Gro, (1/2tsp/gal) Bloom, (1/2tsp/gal) CalMag PH: 5.85 I bent a few of the tops that started to outgrow the rest. Hoping the stretch is at its final days. Bud sites finally starting on the other nine plants. Buds on 1 plant are already plumping up. Raised the lights a little to keep the buds from getting hot and continuing to stretch.

Watered the plants with PH’d water (5.9) and did some light trimming to expose a few more bud sites. Plants are starting to form buds but nothing substantial yet.

I did some heavy defoliating today as we enter flowering. Wondering if it’ll help with the spider mites since they don’t like airflow. I’m going to treat the leaves again tonight with AzaMax.

Spider mites! I started noticing tiny white dots appear on the top of some leaves. Almost looked like nutrients that had dried on the leaves after watering. On the underside of a few leaves I noticed tiny black dots (spider mites). I’ve added extra fans in the tent to decrease the spread of the mites while I wait for my spider mites spray to come tomorrow. Plants are currently in pre flower. The spider mites must have come from where I bought the clones.

I watered the plants today with plain PH’d water (6.0 ph). I was a day late on watering and the soil was a lot dryer than they should have been. I’m keeping an eye on possible heat burn as the plants grow towards the light. I currently have the light as high as I can get it using the puppy system. I may have to hang the light directly from the ceiling support braces.

Did some trimming along the bottom 10” of the plants to improve air flow and allow focus on upper bud formation

Plants have been receiving LST since week 1 after coco transplant. Canopy is even as we enter week two of 12/12. Pistils are showing, plants are stretching. All look very healthy. Been trimming the bottom 7” of plants to increase airflow and focus energy on buds.
