Again feeding canna coco A&B at .7ec = 700ms/cm Feeds broken down into 1 in the morning containing 350ms/cm at lights on and 1 just before lights out containing 350ms/cm = daily total 700ms/cm. Starting to have a smell when opening the tent. Wanting to rise my humidity so places a new bought car sponge made wet onto a plate in the tent with humidifier on and every now and then when checking up I'm spray the walls with some water. Growth starting to explode.

Feeding .4 three times a day = 1.2ec daily. I did hit a bump a few days in to the new week. The plants had dropped badly and leaves were curled but after a trip to the store to re calibrate my meters it has seem to have solved the issue. Although the tips haven't changed the plants are growing again and looking healthier.

I have 4 days ish of pre flowering left. They've grown good in height and buds are starting to appear. I have one that's slow and doesn't really want to grow as much as the others but seems fine. I've upped the calmag .5ml up and A&B are the same. I did do a little of leaf chopping and lowered the light to around 90cm and opened the wings fully for good light spread and penetration. Once height has stopped coming as quick I will start adding vitalink buddy at 1/4 strength to get the potassium up!

Did the last of lollipopping (defoliation) today. Adding a new nutrient vitalink buddy at .5ml a litre calmag and been boosted up a little and lowered the A & B slightly too. In week seven I will introduce the vitalink turbo to the feedings. Amazing product from what I've ready it's like a steroid for the plant and you can feed at full strength because it doesn't mess with your EC.

Really happy with this week. Responded really well to defoliation. Feeding .4ec twice per day. They are now taking 3/4 strength of vitalink buddy. Starting to look frosty and smells amazing! Light is penetrating nicely into the plants. Noticed humidity started climbing so I've hung a dry bag in the tent. I think they've still got another 4-5 weeks left before crop but so far i feel really happy with how my first autos are coming along.

Excited to crop the strain! Been feeding 1.1ec (A&B-calmag-buddy) additives given at full strength. Been battling the climates lately due to winter but the strain seems to do well in climates of 20oC. Buds are looking very nice.
