jumping_jupiter Plants have started their second set of leaves. Have been growing in direct sun outside. Have kept them damp with 1/4 strength flora trio series by General Hydroponics. I will cull the weakest plant but at the moment they are neck in neck for growth. Has been nice sunny weather all week so they have had a good start.

jumping_jupiter Clulled the smaller plant. The smaller one was darker green so not sure which one was the better of the 2

jumping_jupiter Not sure why General Hydroponics flora trio is not in the nutrient list but it has been 1/2 tsp Micro, Grow, and Bloom and 1 tsp cal mag. Discovered both trips and spider mites on the plant. Hit it with pyrethren last sunday and again this sunday. It is going into flower so inceticides will be minimal from now on. Did some LST at week 3 by bending the main stem over. It is a very small fabric pot so was not able to keep it growning sideways for very long.

jumping_jupiter Week 8. Plant is tall 30 inches. Training the top to grow sideways was a bust. The main stem was too strong. Now I have a mildly bent christmas tree. I am happy that the buds are starting to take off and are stacking. Using a different General Hydro feeding schedule for Coco from GrowWeedEasy.com and it is working great.. The one from Coco for Canabis web site was way too weak and produced a plants that were constantly deficient and weak.

jumping_jupiter This plant is a beast. I brought her inside to give it a whack of "Hot Shot Pest strip". I have been able to keep the spider mites at bay with neem oil and safer spray but there were still eggs under some of the leafs. Trying to break the breeding cycle. The buds are such a dark purple that it almost looks black from a distance.

jumping_jupiter In week 10 of "Grow Weed Easy" nute schedule. The plant is super green. It might be a little too much nitrogen. I am thinking with the cooler nights and reduced nitrogen the leaves might purple up a bit. We are finally on a reduced FloraMicro 1/2 tsp and FloraGro 1/4 tsp.

jumping_jupiter This plant is very leafy. Like exceptionally so. She is continuing to flower nicely.

jumping_jupiter She is in the final phase. She is starting to lighten up in the fan leaves. Very pretty light green leaves contrasting the purple buds. I checked the tric's and it appears to be mostly cloudy. No amber showing up yet. I will give it one more week then a flush. It should be ready by then. Something really odd. It should be finishing up but it started throwing out new white pistols. I've never seen that happen before.

jumping_jupiter 88g dried just a hair over 3 oz dried. Had to harvest last weekend due to bud rot starting. Removed effected buds and harvested the rest.
