She's doing ok. Looking forward to this. I have topped her at the third node and remove the first so I will have 4 tops in a fashion. These will each be topped and node 2 removed so she should end up with 16 equal tops in size and location.... hopefully

Was away from grow for four days and she needed some huge fan leaves moving to let light into the business end

She's looking good. I've levelled the canopy and I am planning to flower her in a week.

Things plodding on ok. Growth not as explosive as thought it would be but she looks very healthy. Hoping to flower soon. Hold that thought. As you can see on the photo , I have drawn 4 circles around the 4 main tops. I decided to top these 4 and let the middle of the plant grow up a bit more. My plan is to have many tops hopefully all pretty equal come harvest time 2/3 days after topping the 4 main tops they are already growing back. She has recovered well

She has bounced back from a multiple topping. She is very level I think this is the last week in veg. Her colour has been a unique healthy deep green throughout. I really need to get through 30/40 seeds as I have to stop smoking . I'll grow em anyway. I need to get into extracts etc but it seems daunting. I have jars and jars full of good sugar leaf and lots of buds from the bottoms. Any advice on an easy way. More easy to consume.

Today is day one of flower. She has been moved into the 3x3 bloom tent under the Mars hydro tsw 2000. I plan to run emerald harvest base nutes with house and garden bud XL, bud booster and top booster. I have the canopy as level as can be going in. I will monitor daily to keep it that way. Probably with the help of a scrog net. This is the one I've been looking forward to. It's been boring but now flower tent has some action things got up from here Today is day 7 and at the end of week one I have done my best to get a bit of a net over her to keep her flat. I use the net mainly for support and a bit of training rather than a proper scrog. This is the downside of trying to grow perpetually with limited space. Today she has started showing to me the first signs of entering the bloom stage. That's when the growth tips turn a lime green as she directs energy there. Tomorrow is the start of week two. My planned bloom nutrients approach is using the stated ratios of emerald harvest grow micro bloom, silica blast from botanicare, Shogun calmag until week 6, house and garden bud XL from week 3 till flush, h + g bud booster for just 3-4 days in week 5 and either h+g top booster or advanced Nutrients overdrive that I have left that needs using.. I will fall back on this if h+g top shooter causes foxtails as I have read it can do. First time with h+g. This will be used weeks 6-8.

Week 2 start and nothing much to report. Stretch is slowly happening. At the end of week 2 and no problems so far. I am keeping a steady temp of 25°c and rh at 50%. She has started her pre flowers and I expect pistils to emerge this coming week. She is a lovely healthy green colour. I have had my EC/ppm as low as I've ever had it. I'm finding that all these different bottl s aren't required. I am currently at 500ppm and going into week three I am going to up that to maybe 7-800.

Starting week 4. I have started house and garden bud XL and I'm using their top booster slightly different. I have seen it said somewhere that instead of just 3-4 days in week 5 you can use it from week 4 for longer but at a reduced rate. Instead of 1.5ml/l I am using 0.5ml/l. It's npk is 0-13-14 or maybe it's 0-14-15 but either way it's similar to cannas pk. That too I've heard can be used in the same two ways. I am trialing it at different rates on different plants. In the name of science and education 😀

At the end of week four and shel is looking good. The leaves are praying most of the time. My solution temperature has risen to a worrying 25.5°c. I put a frozen plastic cooling pack in but that's all I can do. I also add Cannazyme in the hope this may help. Week five starts tomorrow so I will give top booster at full strength for just 4-5 days and then I will start either top shooter or overdrive. I am going to change my base nutes from emerald harvest to advanced nutrients sensi Coco bloom too as I'm just not convinced with the emerald harvest

Start of week five and Ive changed some of my nutrients. I have dropped the calmag now as I feel the calcium requirements aren't as great. It also has nitrogen which I don't want . I have started to give house and garden top booster at the full strength for 4-5 days . I have changed the base nutes from emerald harvest, grow micro and bloom to advanced nutrients sensi Coco bloom A & B. The EC has increased to 1.8. If I'm to use the top shooter then the EC needs to be reduced to 1.2. Day 31bloom week 5. ================= Shit!! While checking a plant behind this one looking at trichome colour I accidently broke one of the top buds stem. I quickly tapes it up and hope it's ok. ONE CUTTING TAKEN, ONE ROOTED. A clone taken just before I flowered her is doing well so I'm gonna learn what I can from this. Thank god I made a diary. It will come in very useful

Start of week 6 ============ Start of week six and no issues to report. She is looking very healthy with praying leaves I have bought a new airstone as the old one was broken . I am switching to advanced nutrients overdrive for the next 3 week. I have run out of advanced nutrients sensi Coco bloom and instead of getting more I have ordered TA (ghe) nova max bloom. It's just a one part and for the last 2 weeks you stop this and start final part (ripen) so along with this, big bud and overdrive, top booster and top shooter and also green planet bud booster means I'm ok for pl boosts for now😀

Week 7 start and I'm trying for the first time Terra Aquatica Final Part. I'm using this plant for a bit of experimenting as the buds haven't turned out very big so a sacrifice so to say

Just letting her have water now. She will be coming down soon. Her buds never got very big but are firm so hoping she smokes well. Won't be a big yield. 30-40g at a guess

The grow was quite easy although the buds turned out very small. This happened on a couple of other strains and I think this was due to using a different base. I took one cut from this and it rooted (diary in progress) so I will use a different base throughout and see if that's the case
