I cut the pot down to the soil level to allow her to branch outwards not just upwards. I added in 1 cap full of fox farms big bloom plant food to one gallon of water that will be the only nutrients liquid I will give her not a fan of liquid nutrients.

Okay so I've got her environment staying between 70°-78°F on a 20/4 schedule. I did add one single cap full of FF Big Bloom into 1 gallon of H20 which she literally has drank a gallon of H20 in 8 hrs and I know this because half before work 11pm half after work 7 am soil completely dry WTF? IKR! Also got some FF 5-7-4 mixed it in to some FF HF soil also adding in half a cup of the 574 on top of that and she is 38 inches no deficiencies of any kind pests not anymore. I am not a professional grower I'm not a garden expert by any means. I find that classical music like Chopin or Bach and muddy waters really makes her respond positively... This is my 3rd attempt at growing. The first got murdered by my Fiance she really knew how to piss me off and the second one I smooth nuked that MFR and I mean nute burn like Nagasaki in WWII COMPLETELY FUBAR I mean burnt tip claws of death like a mangy buzzard claw tryna grab a damn chicken bone anyway 3rd times a charm...
I just wanna know what you guys think... I'm not using liquid nutes IMO they aren't any good for soil... Anyway she is only 4 weeks old... Also I have gnats and I can't get rid of them it's driving me insane what can I do??
Hi. Its your non use of liquid nutrients that have given you gnats for sure. I have a diary on how to get rid of them in depth..
1. Yellow sticky traps to catch the gnats when they turn to fliers. Catching 1 flier will stop him laying up to 200eggs in its life span
2. Now you've to sort out the larva that has been laid by the males. If you don't fix the larva you'll never get rid of them. And the larva can release disease into your soil. Things like Silica are liquid nutrients that help kill larva off. A fully soil organic grow you're just giving the plant the best, but your also given them the best environment.
3. You need to let the soil dry from the top right to the bottom. You'll know a fully dried out pot as a heavy one with water. After a few inches has dried down. Use a flat scoop and rid yourself of that dry soil. (As when it dries out, the larva eggs don't die, they stay dormant until you introduce the perfect conditions (wet soil). As an extra measure if you wanna just stick with soil growing. Buy a big bag of clay pebbles and fill about an inch-2 on top your soil. That way, if you get any house ones that fly in they can't lay their eggs, hence ending the cycle. But, if you get soil, and 90% that's where they come from poorly kept soil, (kept outside) the larva will turn to flies and get out. But there is a way to tackle this to.
4. Heat treat your chosen soil. Just look up with the maker, I've yet to see one you can't treat. An oven at 220c for 30mins and keep mixing the soil. (This will cause a serious stink) so i just use my shower and turn the water up to its hottest. And drown the soil and any larva will be instantly killed.
If you need any more tips please feel free to mes me.
Okay noticed 2 branches are Not holding up ... Trellis netting at Scruggs will help.. it's my fault I believe I was to ruff with her but they are still doing good
First of all kind of apply first aid. You can tape the area. Look up a video for it. Then you should also use something to support the branch, like some wood sticks or some wire or even a net can help you, if it is due to the weight of the bud. Happy new year bud, hope everything’s turns out good!
I believe I made the soil to acidic and the nutrients got locked out... She is back down to a 6.5 6.6. also slight cal mag deficiency and not paying attention I had over watered her. I work like all night until 7am so, my days run TOGTHER a lot. Anyway her growth hasn't halted I flushed her with some ph neutral water took about half an inch off the top soil filled in with 5-7-3 and currently not watering until it's a desert down there ya dig... I got 2 Shuvs if not and on top of all that I had a branch break off and one half ass fell off. Got this duct taped and also while trying to remove the broken branch that had withered up some how when I went to cut it off somehow it peeled a strip of the stalk kinda like peeling an apple. Basically this week has been absolutely fucking terrible. I'll always remember week 6, and I'm pretty sure my fucking house is haunted so there's that to... Anyway ✌️ and God bless
Okay so why are my leaves doing this lights to close maganese cal mag nitrogen so many they all look the same it only affects new growth starting at the top of the main cola fading to yellow green veins and curling upward not downard
Defoliation helped. aybe root bound or lockout by your description. Photos in bluepurple dont show real colours, do photo when light goes out and post again. Then maybe some ideas could arise.
Good Luck !
She is back to normal all the yellow is coming back green I haven't seen any signs of her slowing down even when going through that lock out she still grew. Once again my fault over watered stressed and some more shit... I'm thinking she will go the full 12 weeks because she didn't start flowering until half into the 5th week and so I'm thinking she still has 3 weeks of solid flowering left plus 2 for a flush. Nothing new added molasses and big bloom to water since flush also scooped the top soil out filled in with 5-7-3 new soil on top so she is good to go. The broken branches that healed up are the best looking ones there are so many bud sites on her it's in real. Praying for smooth sailing as this is an extremely crucial time for her so I guess it's a first grow I'm just trying to see if I want to get a license to grow or not i
Okay, so I had ordered some Recharge for my auto Trainwreck... I'm curious being that she is in the 7th week of flower would it be worth it to feed to her this late because I ordered it 2 weeks ago we just have had a blizzard and it's not arrived I'm just curious...
So far everything is pretty copacetic. She is in full fledge flower You smells great she's about two and a half almost 3 ft tall so many bud sites I have never seen a plant with so many bud sides but I mean like just on one side of her I've literally counted 53. Shut out fast buds You guys are fucking awesome!!!! I'm going to invest in a better lighting for my next run hopefully by then I'll have my license and I can kick this Craft Cannabis venture off... 46:10 Genetics

I'm midway through the ninth week she is almost done probably a week left ATM I am just flushing her with H20 and a tbsp of molasses... I know on my next grow of Strawberry Gorilla from FastBuds I will be ordering another light of the same brand just one more 1000w and that would be the perfect amount. The buds are extremely sticky and smell like heaven they are turning purple the leaves are I'm thinking I need to water one more time and let that be it but the bud production is insane. I've learned a lot and I do plan on starting a Craft Cannabis grow... Proverbs 11:1
I'm so glad I got more time than I thought because most of her tricomes are still clear and I kept thinking it was kinda to early being that they just now started really ripening so a quarter teaspoon of recharge in a gallon won't hurt??? That is rhetorical I've already dosed her
FASTBUDS state 56-63 days from seed to harvest so you should be in that window now but do wait for your trichomes. You've waited 9 weeks so another won't hurt. Have you started germination of your next plant, is it strawberry gorilla? You could save a week or two by dropping it now. By the time it's sprouted this one will be done. If you don't want to have to transplant it or you have to wait for the pot then the root riot cubes are perfect.
Good luck. Fast buds are top notch aren't they? I've only grown two and both were as good if not better than a lot of photos.
Ztrawberriez was spectacular. I highly recommend that.
Reassurance I guess organo.
It's ok to add but not really needed at this stage. You aren't far off now.
What I'm saying is it won't hurt and may be beneficial if reusing.
I'd just give water now and wait for your preferred harvest signs/trichome colour.
You want more amber for a more sedating buzz. As long as not many clear you'll be good. Hope this helped
Rounding up the 9th week this is the 10th week she should be ready for harvest next week so I'm just going to let her do her thing until then I got strawberry gorilla going germinating at the moment that's going to be the next one but she's done pretty good she likes it a lot hotter than you would expect a lot hotter than 70 I know that prefers it to be around 80° with about 40% humidity so what she wants she seems to thrive a lot better than that just sayingProverbs 11:1
Happy New Year my green thumbed amigos. Thank you for all the answers as they were most helpful. I immediately did all those things before I read them but I couldn't get my hands in there to tape her so I basically just got her tied up in a sling on both branches but it affected her none so thank you for the answers it was helpful have a great new years and keep your eyes on Jesus so you don't sink
