Gonna use this grow as a teaching grow, so I hope it all goes well, I'm expecting some nice tight buds on the cherry cheesecake, and from the amnesia which is a very old seed, I'm expecting a large willowy plant. Auto respond well to being topped in these pyramids, even a late topping at the 6th node is possible, but that depends on how it grows. There will probably not be much defoliating on the Amnesia, but there likely will be some defoliation on the cherry cheesecake but that all depends on how they grow.
End of week one and everything is looking good. Although in the past I didn't use any nutes for the first week, in this case I soaked the plugs in 1000ppm solution prior to putting the plug in the pyramid. I let the plug dry out and only rewet if there were any dry patches always water from the sides for the first few weeks and not over water. Some plants don't mind over watering but some get a bit sensitive better to be on the safe side.
@Seedsman, Hi, this was a freebie from an old order. Seedsman was my go to supplier but then a package did not arrive and it did not indicate that it had even left Langley. I had numerous email correspondence with Ruth, who just stuck to her line that basically I needed to read the fine print and she politely but firmly advised me to go fuck myself. I'm paraphrasing of course. So now I use someone else and I let anyone who is interested know my experience at Seedsman. I know this is nothing to do with you but seeing as you asked! But this is all over for me. As you can see from my diaries I've even promoted seedsman in some of the titles of my diaries. Hopefully this information will be useful to your company in the future.
