Aurora Indica by Nirvana, 100% organic grow with BioBizz nutes

That is some good vibes brother! Can't wait for summer to arrive. Tired of this cold winter weather.
It's not that cold here these days, but the wind from the North Sea makes it hard to enjoy outside. Right now we're having 30F and strong wind.
Needless to say; I've barricaded the doors and windows. But thanks for the good vibes! Jimmy Hendrix is a legend <3
 
Thanks! It's so great to hear that my somewhat sporadic attempt on growing actually finds it way to others, who like what they're seeing.
I really appreciate that! One love!
 
Watering day folks!

Gave her 3 liters (12 cups) of water, mixed with 1ml/L BioBloom and TopMax.
I've also cut away some larger fan leaves that were "shadowing" over the smaller tops, hopefully making it easier for them to shoot up into the air, and give me some nice bud in the future.
But the real reason for it was to get back to that flat and even canopy I want. I'm optimistic, and I believe everything will even out and catch up until she starts fattening up. Time will show.

There's not much to say about her really. She has stretched a few centimeters since last time, but that's about it.

I took some pictures to show you guys.
This watering will be the last "weak" one. I've been holding back on the nutrients for the last two feedings, since I wanted to flush out the remaining salts and stored nutrients from the BioGrow.
I don't want to much Nitrogen in my soil now when I've started the flowering stage. So next watering will be with 100% concentration of BioBloom (2-3ml/L).

Anyways.. here's the little lady. 48 days old (day 5 into flower).

And here's a picture to show you the color. She is starting to go a little lighter green now. And I take that as a sign that the soil is "clean" from old nutrients.
I've also read that some people like to keep on giving their plants 1ml/L of BioGrow throughout the flowering stage too. But I'm not sure if I believe that to be a good idea. Do any of you have any experience with that? Please share your expertise with me.

And here's a picture showing you the space underneath. I believe she has enough room for air, so that the flowers/buds can grow healthy and without the risk of mold etc.

What do you guys think? Keep the feedback coming. It makes it easier for me to keep on track, and it's really fun to read your opinions on my little project!

Much love!

Peace.
 
Beautiful work. Do you plan on tucking under that screen? Like keeping all growth pretty much to that level? I really want to try the screen but have a hard time imagining not being able to move them around. Lol I just love to take them out into natural light and get a 360° view of the girls
 
Did you change your bulb when you switched to flower? Really curious on the amount of stretch you get out lf her.
 
The North Sea that is a shock. I was curious about your locale so googled your moniker discovering it is a colloquial expression used in southern Mexico like maybe Chiapas. Not much of a North Sea wind in that area. Damn was my assumption way off track. Latest pics of your AI looking GOOD!
 
Yeah! That's exactly what I'm planning to do. And yes, by using this method you'll no longer be able to take the ladies out to look at them. They'll pretty much be stuck when they get "tangled" up in the net. But then again.. this method should provide you with a larger yield. That's at least what the guide promises. I've never used it before, so time will show I guess.
 
I'm using a dual spectrum bulb. I've read articles about "research" claiming that a mixed spectrum, during flower, is proved to have a positive effect on yield. So all I've done now is to change the hours of light to 12/12. So this will also be a "experiment" of mine. Hopefully the article has it right.
 
The brand is ELEKTROX, and the bulb is a 200W CFL Dual. It's like a normal CFL bulb, only with two sets of florescent tubes. First time using it, but it feels really well made and produces a good light for what I can tell.
 
My AI’s are going to be flowered in a 5’3” tent. Nirvana says they are a short plant, im just curious to see how tall yours gets with you gave about a month of vege?
 
I looked at the light Coho, it seems to have served you well during Veg. Have you used it before for flower?
I like it's price point, a good way to get going without spending a lot of cash. There is so much to buy in the beginning.
 
I gave her about 40 days in veg. Mostly because I wanted her to catch up after some semi heavy defoliation. I expect her to grow to about 1 meter (3 ft) (from the surface of the soil, to the tip of the colas), that means she'll be about 120cm (3 ft 11") from the floor up (have to consider the pot as well). And yes, this light have served me well during the vegetative state. The strain has some of the credit, but she has been bushing up really good, and I kind of think the light has something to do with that. I have used CFL bulbs before, but never a Dual Spectrum. Hopefully it will do well in flower too.
 
Time for an update!

Things are happening in the tent. The little lady has started to stretch, and I'm thinking about giving her water more often. Because I guess she'll be drinking it faster now, making her need more.
But I'm not sure how much, and how often yet.

It's starting to get harder to tuck the branches underneath the net. They go from soft and bendy to hard and "tree-like" in just about a day. Which is kind of annoying, but what can I do?
Then again; I'm running out of lamp and space, so maybe I'll take what I can get from this ScrOG and just leave it as it is from now?

She is 55 days old now, and 12 days in to flower. She is starting to smell a little. But nothing serious, just the smell of newly cut grass and sweetness.
It has been 3 days since I last watered her. The soil is kind of dry, so I might give her more today.

As you can see, she is filling out the screen faster than expected. And I'm slowly running out of room. And I don't necessarily want her to grow all the way out to the walls, since I do want some good air flow around the flowers.

Here's a picture from underneath the branches. I've been removing unwanted growth all the way. Leaves, smaller growth lower on the plant. But she keeps on bushing up and getting fat again (takes her about 40 hours to grow everything back).

I'm still juggling the water and nutrients ratio when I give her water. I want her to stay dark, but not so much that she gets a nutrient burn. The BioGrow was easy to determine, the BioBloom not so much.
So I might increase the concentration of nutrients in the next feeding/watering.

Other than that there's not really much to say. She keeps on growing, but there's no pre-flowers or anything like that yet.

Time will show I guess. But she do look healthy to me. What do you guys think? Anything you would like to add?

Peace!
