Decided that the flower girl soil amendment needed some help. One feeding of kloombloom nute water and the buds swelled overnight. Flower girl is taking too long to break down for root access and I'm needing bulk now. Tricross strain smells like fuel and ground pepper now. Both skunks are fruity with a hint of citrus coming out. Got a new light viparspectra vs1500 and decided to switch out grow LED in this tent. Plants seem to like the LM301B LEDs, praying quicker than normal after watering. The 150w horticulture maxisun 281B+ LED that was in here was great and performed well. Just going to give my mom a tent setup for vegetables and this light would be perfect for a 3x3 veg garden.

Plants are deep into flower and the smell is cranking up. Tricross is a chemmy and peppered stank. Skunks are the usual fruity citrus tone stink. Glad I gave into feeding kloombloom or these buds might have never swelled the way they are now. Flower girl works great as a tea additive cause of plants taking up nutrients instantly. Adding as a soil amendment takes some time to break down into soil and have plants take up nutes. Combo of kloombloom 2ml daily watering, flower girl tea and amendment and I have a steady supply of bloom nutes till cut time. Still targeting 2nd week of Feb for harvest for the skunks. I'll see where I am at with them next weekend with trichome color and decide when to final flush the pots real good. The tricross is still a week behind the skunks in bud growth, but the frost and stink is weeks ahead of them. You can tell this strain is made for fresh frozen just by the smell it produces and it's not even hit that flower bud stretch yet. Hopefully it will like the skunks did. Multiple colas on each plant are already pill bottle in diameter and stacking size daily.

Kloombloom is the shit. Best bulking nute out there in my book. Doubled diameter of buds since using it and it's been less than a week. Plants are doing fine and show no type of deficiencies or issues. Bugs have been non-existent since Capt jacks deadbug and top coat of diatomaceous for all pots. Amazing how eggs and larvae can live throughout insecticide precautions and months to come to life when you lest expect it. I've went ahead and started a new run for this tent. This run will also be in 1gal fabpots and will reverse the current one now. My last 2 tricross auto seeds and another sensi auto skunk. I'll also be doing a another diary on my Barney's pineapple express run too. My plan for that tent is probably all 3 seeds from pack and more than likely sticking with 2gal fabpots to control size if possible with this strain. 4 wk veg and 6wk flower is what Barney's is claiming for pineapple express auto and I'm going to put that to the test and see if thats possible. Should be with heavy PAR and light nutes from 2nd wk on through veg cycle to ramp up growth before switching to flower nutes. This viparspectra xs1500 is a badass 150w and provides plenty of par value at 12-14" to expedite your grow. Going from the maxisun pb1500 to this was bigger upgrade than I expected. The overall brightness doesn't seem as bright as the pb1500 but the plants respond quicker and longer with no issues of light burn which i had with the maxisun. The maxisun does get hotter by min of 8-10Β° overall in tent temp so it had to go. My mom will enjoy it in her 3x3 real vegetable grow tent.
@Jknjkn,??? You mean those other comments were made by a computer. I had no idea. I just thought they were lonely people that were addicted to likes and had nothing else to do. But it looks like if you want to boost your grow score for contests you have to give a quick response back. If your not going to enter don't answer them. Thanks for the response Buddy. Chuck.
