So I’m sorry guys week 1 I didn’t take any photos as I decided to do this diary last minute. It went well as you will see in the photos there was a slight CalMag difficientcy but all good now in week 2. Ztrawberries = These girls are skyrocketing well impressed with them everyday I look new growth really happy and so are they. They tend to have really long internodal spacing not to busy either. Tropicana cookies = one of these girls was giving me abit of trouble she was thirsty for CalMag increased the feed from 0.5ml per litre to 1ml per litre and she’s all good very similar in shape and structure to the Ztrawberries but none of the less I am happy with the girls. Cherry cola = Not really had any problems with these girls at all infact they’ve been very quiet not explosive growth as of yet short in structure with big fan leaves. It’s seems this is how cherry cola start but have a massive stretch towards the 4-5 weeks stage so Gunna keep my eyes open and fingers crossed. I have opted to FIM all my girls from day 14. Happy growing kids 😎🌱

Ztrawberries= as you can see from the pic and video these girls are skyrocketing climbing almost an inch a day. Showing good signs of pre flower, very impressed with dominant heads coming through on all these ladies 👌🏽 Tropicana cookies = These girls are just showing off there stretch rate match that of the ztrawberries and it’s and impressive spectacle to watch also showing good signs of pre flower Cherry Cola = These girls seem a week slower than the rest none of the less they are showing a decent amount of heads just no signs of any stretch. O.N = Ztrawberries and Tropicana Cookies have had some defoliation not really touched Cherry Cola so I don’t cause any unnecessary stress. EC increased from 1.1 to 1.3. Very happy this week!!

Ztrawberries = all 4 are showing true signs of pre flower now and I will start introducing a small amount of flowering nutes now to help them through the transition. Tropicana Cookies = 1 is at the same speed as the Ztrawberries and 1 is a little slower but not far behind I will keep the nutrients the same for 1 and add the same as the Ztrawberries for the other. Cherry Cola = These 2 seem to be a little behind the rest of the pack but have now finally started to stretch I will keep these on at these giving the veg nutes until they reach the stage the others are in this week. Everything is going very smooth and I’m looking forward to the end product. (If everything stays as good as it is up to yet).

This week was great once again everything is running smoothly and the plants are reacting well. Ztrawberries= all 4 plants have gone into flowering now with plants ranging from 130cm to 100cm stretch has slowed down now but the stretch of these girls is madness. Tropicana cookies = 1 girl is in flower the other girl not quite there, but not far behind and stretching nicely. There structure is very similar and size also. Cherry cola = 1 plant has come out side ways so is affecting the growth but still there is very steady growth. Both not quite in flowering but are trying and both girls are starting to stretch now so looking foward to see how they react in the coming week. All in all well happy 👍🏼 https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=Smkitup91

This week has gone well again. All plants are in flower now 3 I would say are a week behind the others. Ztrawberries without doubt is looking like the busiest girls with each day presented new changes in there grow the terps are starting to come through abit now, all smell amazing and it will only get better!! This week increased EC to 1.8 and plants are reacting very well not really had any issues as yet 🤞🏼 Ztrawberries seem to have stopped with the stretch ranging between 130 to 100cm, Tropicana cookies are between 120- 100 but one is still stretching and Cherry cola seems to be having a little stretch at the minute at 80cm but still going ✌️🏽

So I have decided to finish with just this plant as I have had all sorts of problems. I have not had my PH correct on low side so have been causing me problems then on the other side I think I have been giving to many nutes. I’m new to this but I know my errors now hopefully get some nice bud at least think another week or two and then chop!!

So I’ve now been giving them plain water in which I will finish this weekend then I’m afraid that will be the end of that bin a great learning curve this run. She swelled nicely even though I f****d up big and some nice smelly buds, rock solid the final result I think will be good quality (could of been better) defo would run again!!

All in all there were some major mistakes I made myself in which I can honestly say I think has affected the yield and quality to some extent. As this was my first use of the equipment for this run. After everything I have learnt on this run I hoping the next one there will be no errors at all.
