She breached on 4th day after sitting in substrate. Looks great. From memory she likes warm and moist.. so room will not go below 20c. Little spray with fastplants spray and when her pot dries up I will water in a little humic acid and growzyme.. See you next week. Stay safe 😷 and grow song monsters🌿🌼👍🏼

Good week for my Chiba. I've kept her warm this time and moist and she's doing great. At the rate of growth I think she can be re potted in the next 4 days.. Add some humic acid and growzyme to her waterings. Thanks for stopping by. Happy grows🌱👍🏼 Stay safe.😷😷

Chiban has been put into a half litre pot of biobizz light mix. I ran out of Coco so she is on 100ml of Coco plug sitting in light mix! Sure it will be fine and she showed no sign of bother as she was transplanted. She was given some living organics in the hole before potting to boost the rootzone microbial life. Then was just fed humic acid and growzyme with a spray of fastants each night 20 mins before lights out. It's been a lot of time commitment as she is in her own tent under a mars hydro SP150. (Thanks mars🙏🏻👍🏻). This week I've moved onto the week 2 feed schedule for "professional growers" as per the GBL literature. If she shows any signs of issue I will amend my approach. I do not have another extractor fan to run in this tent so all air flow is being handled by a 6cm oscillator fan and I have nothing for RH.. VPD will not be ideal as I can't seem to get it any better then 1.28.. Ohh and on a side note this was supposed to be a complete xs2000 grow but since having to move her to the tent she will now veg under the ap150 and flower under the XS..👍🏻 Other then that such a pretty girl. Thanks for stopping by. I hope your grows are going well🌱🌿💚 Stay safe😷😷❤️

A really really good week for sexy Chiba. She was reported 5 days ago into 100%coco as this is all I had. After some sage advice from @Budxs I decided it was okay to go with no perlite.. She was potted on with a dose of living organics into her new hole so the roots get a nice micro bacterial infusion of goodness. The feeds I have been sticking to the GBL schedule but I think I'm gonna pull the grow out of the schedule as I noticed some tip burning and she's only getting an EC of 0.8. I think the Coco maybe has some low dose npk in it so I will let that get used up first. Still under the SP150. Still loving the light. Humidity issues are better as I got the big humidifier in with her now that my other room is in flower it's not needed there. That's all this week.. thanks for stopping by. Grow well 🌿🌼🙏🏻 Stay safe 😷😷

A cracking week for the Chiba. She is perfection.. Upped her feeds to 1.4 over the last few days. Also lowered the ingoing. PH. EC out is 1.4 and pH is up half a point to going in. At 6.5. that's the reason I lowered the ingoing pH I think the growzyme is raising pH a bit. Not any drama but will keep an eye. Today she moves to the flower room to join the other girls. Let's see some flowers 🌼🌼🌼👍🏻😃 Thanks for stopping by. Grow well 🌿🌼🙏🏻 Stay safe 😷😷

She is doing great. Good shape to her and that smell is back I remember from last time. Every time you disturb the leaves the smell is toxic skunky goodness. I took lower leaf off a bit more then I would normally because of the lack of space and light penetration from the full canopy. Maybe next grow half the plants..lol.. Feeds are up to 1.7ec this week. pH is going in at 6.4 This is a great strain and if you are looking for a new strain to try you could do worse then getting on to weedseedsexpress.com and getting some of these.. I recommend That's it this week from the Chiba.. Grow well 🌿🌼🙏🏻 Stay safe 😷😷

Not much to say. She is doing great and growing perfectly. Her shape has the nice bowel I like and she has spread out in the space she has very well EC is down to 1.5 I think this is plenty. PH I dropped to 6.2 as run of was coming out at 6.6. I want balance.. That's all this week from my beautiful Chiba 💚🌿 Stay safe 😷 Grow well 🌿🌱🌼

She just gets chunky each day. The smell is very tropical. Can't wait for the last few weeks to pass. Not much has changed. She had a late watering and did not enjoy the extra time drying out. It's the first time in her life her pit has been that dry and although she has taken it okay there are some signs of stress on some leaf. Nothing too bad and I think we are on track still for another 2 weeks Thanks for passing by Stay safe 😷 Grow well 🌿🌼

I think this will be the final weeks for ChiBan. The cold has forced a turn of purple colour which with her frost looks beautiful. Nice dense buds with a tropical smell. Delicious.. That's all this week for her. Stay safe 😷😷 Grow well 🌿🌼🙏🏻👍🏻

Be back later..🇬🇧🤜🏼🤛🏼🌿💚
