Hi guys :D Welcome to S03 of Buds - Growing experience!
This season I'll cultivate a strain selection for a few contests and some sponsored grows BUT all of them were strains that I was most curious about and having 30 top strains to select from, it was hard to define the best concidering, flavour, taste, effect, THC amount and visual appeal. I'm very pleased to announce that Sweet Seeds and Zamnesia gave me the opportunity to partially sponsor this grow season by supplying me wiht their strains of my choice.
For my hydro setup I'll be using the Green House Feeding Nutrient Starter Kit which I've got for participating in their contest. I still need to read into how much nutrients I'll need for this season since I'll run only automatic strains with the exception of Dark Phoenix which will be in the same reservoir as 2 other automatic strains. I'll also do something a bit different this time, because I'll also grow one strain in a RQS fabric pot and soil, which I never did before.
For the first time I'll also be using the PLANT SUCCESS ORCA LIQUID MYCORRHIZAE after reading a lot of positive things about the fungi and the product.
I've also learned a lot from my last grow season which ended in 2 plants dying off because of bacteria in my reservoirs and both res' were cleaned with hospital grade chemicals to remove 99.9% of all bacteria in both reservoirs before the start of this season.
Let's hope for the best and I hope that I'll have a lot of fun doing it :)
XOXO

@LittleJohn, Thank you, Sir! I'm also looking forward to see your Straw'Nana grow because you've started your nana 2 weeks before mine. My Strawberry Banana is my first soil grow so I'm looking forward to see how this little experiment works out :)
(nice puppy you got there btw)
I'm usually defoliating up until about week 4 of flower trying to get as many bud sites to stretch to the trellis as possible. I've been hesiatnt to lollipop becuase I figured that I could always use the popcorn buds for shake but now I'm growing enough it's not worth the time to trim. looking good!
