Just watching it grow this week, and feed and water. Flowers are beginning to fatten. I'm really impressed by all of the growers in this community. You all know so much about the science of gardening. In past years, I experimented with things like PH and VPD, but honestly I'm kinda stupid on these things, and I failed more than succeeded. I also have terrible success rate for germinating seeds. This particular plant was one of three seeds, and the only one that germinated. I'm beginning a new grow, and my first germination attempt has already failed. I do enjoy tracking the plant growth and learning tips from the community, but for me I'm in search of the simplest way to grow. For example, I just learned that I did not do the topping right - I just topped once, and then trained it. I guess I should have topped it three times to get the classic 8-cola structure. Oh well, I still have lots of colas, but not sure if they will fatten up because there are too many - only time will tell. This particular grow seems to be going good. My feeding/water schedule is every other day -- water day 1/2 gallon of tap water; day off, feed day 1 gallon of water with nutrients, day off, repeat. I also use a pot elevator so it doesn't sit in water because I'm a habitual over-waterer. What I've found interesting is that using this rudimentary method, I don't get a lot of water run off; and I have not had one brown or discolored leaf in the 11 weeks so far. Smell is beginning to get strong. Cheers to growing my own medicine!
