[Building] First closet, 1.5m x 0.6m, 300W HPS, 4 buckets

[SpaceCat]

Thanks for your kind words ! I started with a few clones given by my mum but they turned out to be males.
When I moved to this new place there was this entrance closet with perfect size as well as intraction and extraction from building aeration system.

We use a similar size of buckets but you have more light power. I will follow your mad scientist experience !

Bad news for my closet
When I changed water I forgot to plug air pump and I only noticed 4 days later. Moreover I had to help a friend for 2 days and couldn't make my weekly fresh PHed water.

Leaves started to turn yellow with a lot of dark spots so I took a long time to clean my whole setup as well as plant roots (with care) and I flushed a lot of brown water. Then, like a mad scientist, I prepared some clean PHed water with beneficial bacterias and put everything back in the closet.

During these operation I slightly broke two small branches so I used tape and plastic to make a branch-splint.

It's been three days and they are slowly recovering but some leaves didn't make it. Only clones look healthy like nothing happened.

I hope they will be greener than ever by next saturday !

Sorry to hear about your troubles, these are amazing plants and will bounce back with the right care. good job on the save.

It's been almost 2 week since lack of oxygen and roots troubles. Plants now seem to have recovered and they are slowly growing pistils and trichomes.

They made new root so I could get rid of dark ones. The whole setup is now cleaned and ready for the last 3 weeks.

I ordered the next set of seeds but I still don't know which will be germinated first :
CBD Critical Cure - Caremella - Purple Haze - Black Destroyer - Amnesia Lemon Kush

See you soon !

It took 2 weeks but they now recovered. Take a look at the latest post

Plants feel good now and they are slowly growing nice clear trichomes (and some cat hairs too)

There might be 1-3 weeks left !

This is the last run ! Both plants start to have amber trichomes, mostly on leaves so I have to wait more. Around 10 days I think.

Also, I made a few photos of their tiny flowers <3

 

[Mr.furley]

Looks good Spacecat, remember to look at the trichomes on the bud itself not on the leaf for doneness.

Thanks for the advice. That's was I thought too, even if leaves trichomes are turning amber, ones from buds are mostly crystal clear.
Lucky me, I won this macro lens in a local sport turnament.
