Put her to flower this week hope the guys at silver leaf have worked their magic again with this one

Don't know what happened to my diary but hopefully back on track. We are on day 17/wk 3 of flower. She is looking ok and healthy. She is kind of small but it's what I have to do to get through so many new strains. My flower tent is only 1m x 1m so I try have 4 in max and all a week or two further on than the next. I am going to start to have less and go bigger but with new strains I may choose to grow a big one because it sounds nice and I put extra weeks veg on it and use extra space only to find I don't like it or it just was a flop. But I sometimes grow a small one that has turned out great. Its the way the cookies crumble haha.

I have started this diary 4 week into veg. She has been topped and trained and will be going into the flower tent in 2 weeks. I am trying a perpetual grow with attempts to take down a new strain every 2 weeks. I will do individual diaries but I need a collective name......... Damo's perpetual garden!!!

She's looking good and ready to go into the flower tent. I have kept her feed light.

Just ending week 3. Pistil hairs have popped up everywhere. Won't be big but that's intentional . Now nearing the end of week four and she is looking good. Not very big and hasn't stretched much at all.

We are in week 5 since start of 12/12. I am trying house and garden for the first time so may take a bit of getting used to. Any advice or suggestions to get the best or any reviews about house and garden would be appreciated. I'm using the roots excellurator, bud XL, top booster and top shooter. Ending week five and she looks great. After today I will stop the house and garden top booster and start with top shooter. From now on I will cut the calmag out and possibly the emerald harvest grow too. House and garden advise that to add your base nutrients and get the mix to 1.2 EC before adding the top shooter. I am still learning the right time to administer or cease the different nutrients.

Starting week 6 of flower. She was a free seed from London seed centre. She had some pistils that were turning orange but after starting house and garden top shooter she has kicked out some more thick white pistils. I was worried about foxtailing that has been reported with top shooter but so far so good. It does seem like the buds grow and swell but then more pistils and more swelling If you time this perfectly then I think you could definitely improve yield by the 20% they state.

Week 7 I'm not over happy with this one. She is very leafy tho that could be my fault for not giving a good strip at 21 days. Also the buds are really small for this stage. Maybe the house and garden stuff isn't too good or I'm using it wrong as it's one of the first tries with it. See how it goes. It'll smoke matter what 😀

Start of week 8 and I am just going to give water for the rest of her existence. I will wait for a few more amber trichomes as only the odd one seen. I like about 10%. I have given her a pre harvest defoliation as she is very leafy. If anyone knows if there is anything I can do to reduce the amount of leaves she produces I would be grateful. Last few days now.

For a small plant with small buds there seems to be quite a lot. I will update when dry
