Bit of a late start to this diary with not alot of pics so far. Seedlings have just been repotted into their final home, showing a few yellowing leaves as they have only been fed water I'm using a 139l pot with a clay pebble layer for drainage at the bottom then filled with "soil for life" by indoor organics, it's a living soil so no need to feed the plants anything but water. I then added 1kg of tiger worms and sprinkled some cover crop seeds and have added a layer of mulch.

Cover crop is coming through but looks like mainly one type. I may have put too much mulch down and smothered some of the seeds. As for the ladies, they are looking a much nicer dark green and are coming along nicely. I don't have time to grow these that big so will only do one more week of veg. I've just used some plant bends as well

What a difference a week makes. I've been using the plant bends to train them all and have topped each plant twice. Canopy has pretty much filled the huge fabric pot without doing any stretching. I'm very surprised how little they have grown towards the light. In my previous grows plants have been over twice the height before spreading out as much as these. Pretty happy about that. Little bonsai weed trees

Just finished the first week of flowering. Plants have really started to stretch. Gonna wait till the stretch stops before doing any defoliating, probably another week. Looking good so far

Lots of growth. I have lolipopped them and put them through the netting for support. Flowers are just starting to show. Making compost tea with homemade worm castings, mollases, kelp meal, and DEM fat flowers and brilliant black soil humates. Other than this tea and some myco inocculant, these plants have been grown with just rain water

Plants have shot up this week, well most of them anyway. One of the blue sunset sherbert is a good 20-30cm shorter than the rest of them. As there in the same pot I can't raise it. They all seem to have responded well to the aerated compost tea last week. Not a bit of discoloration anywhere. I have a removed a few fan leaves that were overhanging bud sites but have kept the defoliation to a minimum. Both biscotti mintz are a bit taller but not by too much. Hopefully theyre finished stretching now

Hermaphrodites Fucking sucks, both the biscotti have gone hermaphrodite. The blue sunset sherbert look fine so hopefully I was early enough to catch it. Very disappointed. Wanted to try it. And it's sad throwing away an otherwise perfectly healthy set of plants. Aaaarrrrggghjhhj

So sad to see it half empty. Had to kill both the biscotti as they had pollen sacks hidden down low. Now I'm left with my two blue sunset sherbert. One is very small and never got to the same size as the others.

Some nice sized buds on the bigger plant. Both the remaining ladies are looking good. I'm still pretty devastated about the loss of the two biscotti. A half empty tent isn't as nice as a full one..

Buds are starting to fill out now, and some hairs are turning brown. Really impressed with the "soil for life" soil mix by indoor organics. Not a discoloured leaf in sight. Such a pity I had male flowers on my two biscotti, I'm still finding it hard seeing a half empty tent. But the sunset sherbert are looking great, even if one is a bit small

Not much to report. All doing fine. Have removed a few fan leaves and tied a few branches to stop them bending under the weight. The taller plant has a few monsters growing Just water this.week

Had to put some more string in places and raise the netting to stop them falling over. Buds are swelling and stinking. They advise 8.5-9 weeks for this strain, I'm gonna do the full 9 weeks. There are still some white hairs so I think they'll be fine to do another week. Can't wait to try it.

Two different phenotypes and sized plants. Got 58g from the small plant and 112g from the larger. As I lost my other two that wasn't bad considering the tent was only half full. Smoke report in a few weeks
