Humidity was up this week didn't seem to affect the plant much so no call for concern in my opinion, just keeping a watchful eye. Also noticed a few nats in the tent as well so i hit the plant with a treatment of Mammoth Cannacontrol along with Mammoth Biocontrol, will be following up with another treatment. I also decided to go ahead and top again mid-week, (before Mammoth Bio and Canna treatment) this is the 3rd time she has been topped and most likely will be the last, I don't plan to run but another 6 weeks at most before I flip to flower so this should give the plant more than enough time to bounce back from any stress and me enough time to lst the new growth in preparation for full blown flower. Gave another feeding before update so everything above is updated as it changes still keeping ph as close to 6.0 as possible

I am no longer going to be using the fox farm nutrient line not for any other reason than I just want to switch it up and go with something else before I go into flower. I'm not saying fox farm if a bad line, I just want something different. I feel fox farm is the line you go to when your first starting out and buying from Amazon, not downing anyone I've done it myself we've all been there and it works well for the price. But if you get their full line including Bush doctor and all it gets to be a bit mutch. I haven't went that far yet because of that, I don't want to feel like I have to buy 12 different nutrient solutions and when you do you find out you really only needed 5 or 6. Its for this reason I've decided to go with the Mills line of bottled nutrients their line up is 6 solutions total they are a bit pricy for the 6 one of the bottles being $120.00 US alone, but I'm also a firm believer in you get what you pay for and every resource and review I've seen makes me have high expectations for this nutrient line. Updates soon to come over the next few weeks as I have been currently flushing my plants for the past 2 days getting ready for the new neuts. I flushed with just straight water ph 6.0 the first day and again the next day (today Jul 25) and once again a few hours later with cal mag, silica and a little bit of recharge to help hold the plant over until I feed the new neuts and help ease them in as well. Until next time happy growing fellow growmies

Im a little late on the update this week pictures are still dated tho. I started the mills line this week after flushing and did a bit more lst work on the plant even ended up cloning her a few times just for the fun of it and to help with the canopy. I really like this strain and have been having a lot of fun growing it so having a couple more around is fine by me. I can't wait to see how she produces!!!(especially once I start using the vitalize nutrient solution.)

A normal week in the tent nothing new besides fabulous growth from the girls, so much so in fact that I plan to slip to flower in a week or so to keep them from out growing my tent. So excited to start the next phase!!!
