1 week old, nothing to report. Both plants seem healthy, 1 plant is bigger than the other but that will even out. Will be running a short veg time with these to see what happens.

Will wait another week to pot and then start some LST. Plants seem strong and have presented no issues.

This week the 2 plants were repotted into 8 litre pots. This will be their final pots. I have mixed the greenhouse feeds nutrients onto the new soil. Plants were also topped. They took 2 days to recover and now look very healthy indeed. I also have 2 autoflowers that were planted at the same time and these are growing quicker than them!

Nothing to report, the bio feed dry amendment is the way forwards. No messing around with nutes and plants look very healthy.

Plants have grown loads in just a week. This week I will defoliate and then scrog. They will also be switched into flower. Looking for a short veg time to compare against my autos. The bio feed is brilliant. They will have their second and final feed once flowering. 2 feeds could not be any easier and the plants are loving it.

Plants have now been given their second dry feed. This greenhouse bio feed is very good. The plants are loving it. Now scrogged and defoliated and put onto 12 hour schedule. Fingers crossed lets wait for flowers. No issues so far!

Finally starting to flower, flipped lights at week 5 for short veg time. Not much smell at the moment but plants are growing very fast. Loving the greenhouse feeds bio products, it couldnt be any easier. Lots and lots of bud sites!

Not much to report. Watering every 3 days with rain water as usual. Still only had 2 feeds in its life. Buds are now getting bigger but still a way to go. Not much smell so far? Very happy with this lazy feed method. Started adding molasses to water once a week.

I have now given the plants a third feed of the greenhouse feeds bio line. Plants remain healthy with just light defoliation now and then. Still no smell though?

The plants seemed to be hungry this week even though they have been given the correct dose of dry amendments. I have started to feed them my usual Organic feed as well. They are now putting on weight and colour. Removed some dead leaves and they seem ok. Also starting to smell now.

Well she is making some really cool alien looking buds. Smell is now getting stronger. The buds are swelling the pictures dont really do it justice. I think this will be a good yield in the 2x2 tent. Probably about 2-3 weeks left. No issues so far, had to give an extra feed of the bio amendments. Cant weight to weight this in!

The buds are really starting to get fat. The pictures do not do it justice.They are also now very smelly in a nice way! As mentioned last week the buds have the most amazing structure. Very happy with these. No issues this week and still only had 3 feeds.

The buds in this plant were very fat, there was not much smell through the entire grow. The taste and smell when smoking is very nice and lemony.

6 oz dry and bud smokes and tastes lovely. Ran these plants on a short veg time due to space restrictions. Plant gives a nice pleasant head buzz.

Looking good bro, just updated mine, we seem to be on the same week. I've noticed that out Budz look similar but you have more Big Bud plants.... Out of 4 only 2 of mine produce nice fat Budz like that... Doing a great job bro 👍🏾🌱💚

Santica_Gardencommented3 years ago
@BudsBanditUK, damn sorry to hear that. I lost a top cola on one of the ladies due to mould... But managed to catch really early and everyone is fine, I should be harvesting hopefully this time next week 👍🏾🌱💚

@Santica_Garden, Had to chop mine, some of the buds were getting budrot. Still looks good, will update after harvest.

Bro your ladies is looking better than all 4 of mine 😅👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 keep it up bro, Budz also look bigger than mine, I think my mistake was using a 5 gallon pot as their final container.... Should have went with 4 gallon but 2 of my ladies are doing well in the 5 gallon but the other 2 could have easily gone in a 3-4 gallon.
