Great growth this week :)
DAY 14 -Will start nutes around week 3 due to this little beauty being in a 3 gal pot of my homemade mix which contains nutrients. Both my others I fed at 2 weeks and got nute burn. even at 1/8 strength! So fingers crossed if I hold back a bit longer with this girl... she shouldnt get burned :) Il wait till growth appears to slow. Let her tell me when she wants more :)
DAY 20 - She looks great today, Stem leaves coming on nicely.
DAY 16 - She seems to have taken to it well after i topped her 5th set of leafs node yesterday. Iv topped up the potting mix so she looks really small but healthy and happy!! Also, those tiny leaves on the stem appeared... as if by magic the day after topping!! Im going to be LST ing also in the next week or so :)
DAY 15 - Decided to top this baby as she is the fastest growing, healthier girl of of my 3 seeds (1st grow)
Day 25- This is the best plant of the 3 seeds I started. she is looking much more developed at 3 - 4 weeeks than the other 2. Really happy with how shes coming along!!
DAY 35- Loads of new growth this last few days since the light upgrade (mentioned below) and LST... Her roots are literally popping out all over the smart pot!!
Shes been a nice easy lady to keep happy this one :) Excellent for a novice grower like me. So Iv just popped another 2 green crack seeds this week as Im really enjoying growing this strain. Shout out to FAST BUDS for creating such a beauty.
I literally can not wait till harvest. Thanks for reading, If you stopped by to have a look at my diary, please feel free to leave me a comment :)
Thanks for reading guys...

DAY 32- My new grow light arrived today and I am super excited to see what she can do. Iv gone from 240w cheap nasty growlight (Absolutely crap-I know!! But my intention was to have 1 plant and I now have 6 plants in 2 grow cupboards lol) I think I may have a problem!) I decided to upgrade to a mars hydro reflector 480w and she looks ace!!
Anyways... I also LSTd this lil lady today to get some more light to those bud sites!
Finally A huge thank you to @BeefWellingtons for your help and advice on LED Lights. You made a daunting task much easier for this gal. so thanks for taking your time to help a lady out :)
DAY 38- Lollipoped / Defoiliated... She was sooooo bushy, even with LST the many many leaves were light blocking bud sites so she had had a trim and a tidy up. She took to it well and looks happy. Much more signs of flowering since I removed leaves so I am happy :)
Ok so this girl is in shock after a couple of little bastard fungus gnats got into my grow room and lots and lots of their little eggs were laid on my top soil. This resulted in the larvae of said eggs (tiny almost transparent worm like creatures in my soil!) hungrily devouring my baby girls roots system and the first thing I noticed was she wasnt draining properly, then stopped growing altogether!! As soon as I found the cause of the problems... I have applied the following measures to eradicate the tiny enemy's!!
1.) Firstly, Applie sticky traps in grow room or gnat traps with apple cider vinegar to deal with flying adult gnats.
2.) Do nothing for the first few days to soil Just Stop feeding, stop watering and Let the soil almost dry completely. This will kill a large number of the larvae before we even get started!! As fungus gnats need moist humid environments. I also upped my ventilation game by installing a much needed fan and filter kit.
3.) Mix up a solution in warm NOT hot water. 100ml water, 5ml plain liquid soap, 8ml neem oil. Shake lots and lots until all oil has disappeared, add more soap if needed. Wait until solution reaches your desired temp for your plants shake and drench the soil!!
4.) Then I added clay balls to the top of my soil, sand, stones or anything like that will work to deter any future flying bastards that want to lay their eggs in my grow room.
5.) I also thouroughly cleaned EVERYTHING in and around my plants with hydrogen peroxide and water solution and rinsed and dried everything thouroughly before my plants went back in.
UPDATE- So far, So good. No more adults seen and no larvae that I have seen alive. I will keep you updated on how she gets on. I will feed when soil is almost dry, then repeat neem application just to be double sure. Hope she catches up to where she needs to be ASAP!!
Arghh!! I have some kind of infestation in my soil!! This plant is the worst affected and appears to have stopped growing completely now!!
After feeding my girls... I noticed tiny tiny flea like wingless white / grey insects with 2 tentacles "Jumping around" on the drip tray
I Loved this strain!! have another one in flower also. shame Iv had no phone for a few weeks so missed quite a bit but managed to take some pics of what the finished bud looked like :)

I think they are either springtails or fungus gnats. Im waiting for my microscope so I can upload pictures. Iv ordered some Neem oil and clay hydro balls to deter anything laying eggs on my topsoil. There are no bugs on the foilage or bud but lots in my soil. As its an organic grow I would like to know...1. Will Neem oil kill beneficil bacteria and fungi?2. Can I apply neem oil to plants in flower as a soil soak? If so what is the ratio oil to water?3.Will it be the pests that is stopping my plants draining properly?thanks in advance for all suggestions/commentsMissBling XxX
