This is my first ever grow I have decided to go for Cash Crop from Cream Of The Crop Seeds and have made myself a DIY Aero/Hydroponic system from a few bits I picked up from site, B&Q and a pet shop so it will be interesting to see how it turns out! Happy growing 🌱

Week 3 my ph down has arrived but all seems ok with the vinegar but I will definitely be switching back to the ph down. I have also started to add nutrients this week and I'm now starting to see her take shape looking forward to seeing how she turns out! Happy growing 🌱

During week 7 I accidentally snapped one of the branches while defoliating. It was a clean break but nearly snapped clean off. I have managed to prop and strap it up so hopefully with a bit of care she can hold on. It's now been 5 days since it snapped and still seems to look healthy so keeping my fingers crossed 🤞Other than that this girl seems to be coming along really well, she has a lot of bud sites and seems to be taking nicely to my DIY Aero/Hydroponic system can't wait to see her at harvest!

This girl is coming along really nicely starting to see a bit more too her now. I have up'd the big bud nutrients this week so hope it " puts the big in your buds" increasing both their size and quality. It has been about 2 weeks now since I nearly snapped a branch clean off. I strapped the snapped branch to the main stem as soon as it happen but when I check it the next day it had slipped. I did worry as I wasn't sure how long it had been apart but I re-strapped and hoped for the best. So far the branch still looks healthy and I haven't noticed any issues with it at all. The branch looks as if it is healing really well so hopefully she pulls through. Happy growing 🌱

Big defoliation this week! Being my first ever grow I was a bit worried but I have been reassured it's for the best. Can't wait to see how she turns out! I had a some ph issues this week the ph levels in my reservoir kept changing after looking into it it was due to the temperatures of the water in the reservoir changing I have corrected the issue and all seems to be OK. This girl is looking better and better every day her "stickybuz420" 😏 are coming along really nicely and she is starting to produce more of a smell to her now can't wait to see the final out come!

Lot more to this girl this week her buds are starting to bulk nicely and she is producing more of a smell I'm really pleased with how she is turning out for my first ever grow and a DIY Aero/Hydroponic system. This was the last week of nutrients I will now start to dilute/flush my reservoir by just adding water of PH 6.2 to the solution for the next few weeks and then plan to do a complete reservoir change to just water at a PH of 5.8 - 6.2 for the final flush.
