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 seems to still 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. I'm really pleased with how she is turning out for my first ever grow and I'm looking forward to seeing her at harvest! Happy growing 🌱

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 hopefully 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 and propped 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 it 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 so can't wait to see how she turns out! I have also had a ph issue this week for some reason the ph levels in my reservoir kept changing. I have monitored the ph levels daily and have topped up with more water. I will keep an eye on thing over the next few days and hopefully things start to settle. 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. Can't wait to she her at harvest! Happy growing 🌱

After realising that it was the temps in my reservoir changing causing my ph levels to change I have now sorted the issue and levels are a lot more stable. This week I will begin diluting/flushing my system by just adding water ph 6.2 to the reservoir before I do a full system change for the final 2 week flush Starting to see a lot more too her now and her buds are starting to bulk. I'm really pleased with how she is turning out and I can't wait for harvest! Happy growing 🌱

This girl really is coming along beautifully her buds are bulking and she producing more of a smell every day! This week I have been diluting/flushing the reservoir by just adding water at ph 6.2 before I do a full reservoir change for the full flush. Im hoping to see her really bulk up during these last few weeks. Happy growing 🌱

This girl is coming along really nicely I'm really pleased with how she had turned out for my first ever grow. I have noticed this week she is starting to get a lot more of purple colour to her stem and branches she looks amazing. Her buds are are looking really frosty and are nicely dense I can't wait to try them! This week I have started the full flush by doing a full reservoir change to just water at ph 6.2 - 6.5 and will continue to add just water untill harvest. Happy growing 🌱

@Poppetnewbie, thanks yeah my DIY Areo/Hydroponic system dose take up a bit of room but could definitely be made smaller if needed and it was fairly easy to build and yeah the snapped branch seems to be absolutely fine didn't notice any issues what's so ever even though I nearly snapped it clean off just show how resilient these girls can be definitely learning a lot with this grow!
