Here goes another attempt at an organic grow. Iv had a couple of harvests, nothing to write home about, but learned a lot along the way. Hoping to get much better yields this time round due to so many positive changes to my once very basic set up and my experience and confidence have both really grown!! So fingers crossed!!
First grow using biobizz nutrients range. Growing in 3 gal smart pots in light mix soil with some slight amendments (worm castings, seaweed meal, lime and Epsom salts as well as some mychorrizhal fungai as well 😁
At the end of week 1 both autos looking good!! Have only been feeding biobizz root juice this week to help roots system establish well :)

Week 2. Vegetation
6 years ago
3.99 cm
4 hrs
27 °C
6.5
No Smell
60 %
22 °C
11 L
Nutrients 4
Muxed Kelp meal, Aloe vera Gel, and worm castings into a tea and watered in. 2 mll
Day 14 - I topped my autos (I know!) I like experimenting...
DAY 10 - Early days but all looking good so far... Apart from it's been a little hot for them so I have moved light up and tried to improve my ventilation by buying a new fan with built in thermostat and speed controller to try and keep things consistent for my baby girls and keep temps under control this time around!! :) XxX
Day 21- Spotted what could be early starts of mag / Cal deficiency on two of my girls so have applied lime and Epson salts to all of them. I have checked my tap water and I will need to definitely supplement heavily when growing with biobizz in all future grows. Thought I'd share that. If growing off tap, check water contains enough cal and mag for grow. Google for institutions how to do this. very simple but good to know :)
Day 17 Looking good at the beginning of 3rd week. Have just started watering till run off today as they were drying out quickly as they're getting bigger now :)
Growth really picking up now. Girls getting ready for the final stretch before flowering!! This is by a clear mile my best grow so far (early days but still... big up Biobizz Light mix, Biobizz Nutes and Mars Hydro Reflector lights :) Whoop!! :)
The girls have really sprung into flower this week!! They are looking so good!! Having some issues with humidity too high at the moment so they are spending time in my greenhouse during the day, this may be a problem in flower so If anyone has any tips for humidity and how to keep it down... It would be greatly appreciated! :)
Just LSTd all the plants. Also removed light blocking fan leaves and those getting too big and taking up too much of my grow space. Looking forward to watching these ladies flower now :)
please feel free to comment guys.. Not a single one on this diary I'm fairly new. and clearly extremely unpopular lol xx
Week 6... Starting to smell lovely now as we reach around the halfway mark. I am Loving growing with biobizz!! My plants look much healthier and happier :)
End Of Week 7- They are doing their final stretch now. I am really really excited about this grow as I have 4 plants this time and so far I haven't had PH Lockout OR Nute burn setting me back like I did in my first grow. Super excited to watch these lovely ladies fatten up nicely over the final weeks :)
Also based on advice from much better growers with a ton of experience I will resist my strong urge to further train my babies ;)
THANKS 4 ALL THE HELP AND SUPPORT GUYS!!
Miss B XxX
Start of Week 7.... I am super happy with how this grow is going. I feel like I actually know what I'm doing this time PMSL :)
The smells are amazing. Particularly with the Auto Lemon Skunk, Everytime I open the door to my grow it hits me and makes me want a blunt right there and then Haha..
I Did a final bit of defoliation before the girls burst into full on flower mode next week!!
Also Added more Lime and Epsom Salts at it's been 6 weeks since I last added to grow medium and I want to avoid calcium and magnesium deficiency. The plants looked very happy the day after adding and watering in well :)
SUPERCROPPING.....I have used this technique in my last grow (Green Crack auto) and saw great results!! BUT I did it earlier than week 7. So My question is.... Am I OK To supercrop some of the side branches that are sticking up above the tied down colas? OR Is it too late?? TIA
Sure you can, But with that said it is usually done in veg. and it can be done in early flower, but personally would not do it with the auto due them being a little further into flowering. For photo's you can get away with the supper-cropping in early flower but I have had the best results doing it like a week or 2 before the flip to flower. Happy Growing Keep up the awsome work👍
WEEK 8, Day 1 - OK So towards the end of last week I noticed a little purplish red tint on some of my stems :/ From previous grows I am guessing this a deficiency brought on because my growing medium has ended up too acidic!! So I tested my runoff and sure enough it was coming out in the 5 range!!! This makes phosphorus, magnesium and other nutrients unavailable to the plant. So I had to act on this sign...
So I have had no choice but to flush each plant with ph 6.5 water until the runoff is within the correct range. I don't want my growth and bud production slowing down so close to the end!! This is my best grow so far!!
I am a little disappointed as I am growing with biobizz I was hoping, as advertised...
that my ph will be buffered by the soil and phproblems wouldn't be an issue. But I think that feeding with every water is allowing a build up in the soil and this is causing the medium to be too acidic!! The Good thing is... I spotted it quickly so I could take steps to rectify!!
QUESTION- Guys Can any ORGANIC GROWERS... please advise how they ph up and ph down without using chemical additives? I have citric acid which I hope is ok for ph down? but what about ph up? would baking soda do it? ANY advice much appreciated. I don't want to harm my micro herd by using chem. Based ph up and down.
Thanks guys!!

Week 9.) Seedsman - Auto lemon is now absolutely covered in beautifully bright and blingy trichrimes :)
I am loving the amazing citrus and skunk aromas and of course, how beautiful this plant looks under the lights!!
She is the smallest of my plants this grow but that's 100% my fault for the way I trained and topped an auto like this one. It was a bad idea and I wouldn't do it with a plant that doesn't get that big again. All I did was slow her down and destroy my one main cola this plant likes to produce 🙈 (again my fault, I did read this when I ordered the seeds and I shouldn't be topping autos anyway!!) but I do get carried away with myself 😅What can I say? Im a nerd who likes to see what happens when I do experiments lol 🤣🤣👍 But seriously, I will try to restrain myself in future grows though.... Promise x
Cash Crop Auto - Wow wow wow. This is my biggest auto so far. Shes got LOADS of tall branches flowering from top to bottom all over her. She is stretching still and not fattening or sparkling at all yet so I will just keep feeding her my biobizz every other day and see how big she gets 😎💕 #Fun!
Lastly, after much thought I have decided to split this diary into 2 diaries. It should have been done this way right from the beginning but I am a lazy stoner chick 😎 so I decided I could save a whole lot of time if I put my autos and photos on the same grow diary!! GENIUS!!!! 🤣👍😂put my 2 autos (mentioned above) on with a couple of Blueberry Twist plants I had going from the same week ..
Worked great till my autos started flowering WEEKS ago and Iv Only just flipped one of my BTs and I'm keeping the other as a mother for clones. So yes it has all got a bit complicated and confusing for me, let alone anyone else so I am finally doing what I should have done in January!! Yayyy Go me!! Again I will try not to fuck up this way again in the future. #LAZY
Thanks 4 reading 😃 ...
My new Blueberry twist diary is now live. Go check it out....
MissB xXx
Week 10- Auto Lemon.. This one has deffo still got more flowering time left yet. Trichromes checked again and most are cloudy with a few of them still fairly clear. NO amber yet and I can clearly see new flowers popping up all over so I will keep feeding and recheck later this week. When all trichromes are cloudy I will start flushing her. I think shes got 2-3 weeks left?!
Cash Crop Auto- Stretching beautifully in full on flower mode. Colas getting bigger and she is now starting to ramp up trichrome production. Shes all blingy and beautiful. Also got a bit of smell starting this week. The Auto Lemon is way stronger smelling though.
Anyone with any other ideas or suggestions on my grow plz feel free to leave me a comment 😁💕
MissB XxX
Week 11....
Auto Lemon - This little lady has almost finished the 1st week flushing. Heavey trichrome production going down at the moment as she uses up her stored nutrients. She is small but mighty lol 👍🤗. One more week of flushing till harvest 😁
Cash Crop Auto - I can hardly see any of the middle of this plant due to all the colas she has!! She is fattening up nicely now. Getting blingy under the lights as I lower the humidity slightly to increase resin production. I am checking trichromes daily but no signs to start flushing yet so I shall carry on feeding her and watching her grow 🤗💕
MissB x
NO kidding.. I think this cash crop auto could go way longer....but due to my ever growing space requirements... I decided to start the 2 weeks flush.
She is huge and blingy as hell💎👌😊 I'm so so happy with how this beautiful girl turned out for me...
She has now had her 1st week flush. Harvest next week... I actually Cant wait. This girl is so heavey even in a dry air pot!! I think this is going to be my best auto harvest so far and it smells heavenly!! 😊👌💕
I have taken one of the smaller bottom branches this week (About half an oz I'd say) to dry after 1 weeks flush as a sample. I wanted to experiment the differences of taste, smoothness etc with1 weeks flush vs 2 weeks flush.
I Will let you guys know the results of my little flush experiment after my smoke tests. I'm gonna predict there's not much difference with organic nutrients, but we shall see..... 😎👍💕
Thanks for reading!! Comments always appreciated, I view everyone's diaries who comment or like mine. It's nice to be nice! 👌Let's spread the Love..
Much Love, always ...
MissB x
A lovely little auto to grow. She is super smelly as you would expect from Lemon skunk Auto and super super sticky!! 😁👌
Sadly no wet weight taken due to my scales batteries being dead lol.
.
Dried in 5 days.... Total dry bud 42grams
I'm happy. She is small but mighty this oneamd I cant wait to try her cured!! 😁💕
I have just sampled a bit of this Lemon Skunk. It is absolutely wicked!! Very strong head high and totally full body relaxing. Taste is great, not as lemony as I was expecting but still nice flavour and super smooth considering it's not been cured yet!! Very happy with this free seed. Liked it so much I am going to try this strain again as a stealth auto grow. Think it's a perfect strain for that.
She let me top her, defoliate regularly and LST without major stress so in my opinion shes a pretty tough b**ch!! 😎
I do wish I'd not topped her as I think she may have been bigger should I have left her alone. But I'm happy with my experiment and as she was a free seed, I'm 2oz better off and had a whole load of fun with her 😃
Thanks so much for reading. Please do leave me a comment. It's great to chat with other growers
Much Love,
MissB 💕xXx
Well. What a plant this has been to grow. I broke all the rules with her. I topped her as she likes to stretch and I have a stealth grow set up. I defoliated regularly throughout the grow and I let her go way longer than 10 weeks as recommended. She could have gone another 2 weeks I'd say to 15/16 weeks but due to the sheer size of her and the shortness of space in my grow cupboard... she had to go. She she stealing too much light from my 2 blueberry twist ladies who are in mid flower! (Check out my other diary 😊)
She was chopped after 2 weeks of flushing....Full dry weight and smoke report to follow....
UPDATE-
She took 6 days to dry fully. After removing stems, removing bottom loose, airy buds off side branches and put to one side to freeze along with my trim for my next experiment... Making ice hash 😊. Iv Never done it before so anyone who can make any suggestions on this subject please do comment Id be grateful for any input 😁.
She weighed OVER 7oz dry (what you see on the scales plus approx half an oz I removed last week as a sample!!) My Best yield yet. Over 7oz from 1 plant is a big deal for me as I struggled a lot with my first few plants, I am made up. The bud quality is also spot on dense, trichromed filled buds... yum 😊: 1:💎
SMOKE REPORT.
Firstly The experiment I did with how smooth the smoke was after 1 weeks of flushing vs 2 weeks was that I really cant tell much difference!!🤣🤣 Both were super yummy, potent as hell and as smooth as each other
.... or as smooth as you would expect from any uncured bud.
Please bear in mind that I grow with organic soil and organic nutrients... A one week flush with other nutrient lines may not be sufficient. I did this test with a small branch rather than chop after 1 weeks flush and hope for the best... Its been helpful for me to know this for my future grows incase I need to harvest early unexpectedly.
Ok so this smoke was really really nice, even uncured!! Its a potent /strong strain... I felt happier, uplifted as well as more settled and relaxed after a few mins of smoking. Most buds were pretty dense.. some of the lower buds were airy and better suited to hash making. But over 7oz of dense nugs is ok by me!
After smoking I Wanted to listen to tunes and relax in the bath with a nice fat blunt rather than get creative and decorate my living room or organise my wardrobe🤣🤣. Nice to relax with after a shitty day. Strong enough to take the edge off for sure 😉 Great for pain relief and anxiety. All my symptoms subsided and I was able to think clearly and relax fully for a while. So in my opinion this is "The shit!!" exactly what I was looking for 😎
Overall super happy with the yield and quality of the buds from both ladies in this diary 😁👌
Eery grow I do seems to be improving so thanks to everyone on GrowDiaries... You guys continue to inspire me and show me the way and all the love in the world!! You guys rock!!
Drop me a comment if you stopped by. I view and comment on everyone's diaries who comment on mine. It's nice to be nice 😃.
Much love,💕
Miss B x
Overall super happy with the harvest as mentioned above...
I wish I could grow more but space is so tight. I Would defo love to grow this strain again!! My type of smoke for sure. Ticks all of my boxes 😉
Every grow I do seems to be improving somewhat...Which is awesome to be able to see on GD!! and look back at how far Iv come. So a huge thanks to everyone who bothered to read, like or comment on this grow.
Much love... 💕

POST HARVEST QUESTION TO ORGANIC GROWERS WHO USE WORM CASTINGS IN THEIR SOIL MIX...
I have been removing the roots from these two girls ready to use for my next grow and I had some new friends who have taken residence in my smart pots... WORMS!! eggs hatched from the worm castings and the conditions must have been favourable as they've been living quite happily down there ever since!! Has this happened to anyone else? I cant be the only one lol. Please let me know....
@Buddha2, Hey!! Thank you so much !!💕 Super happy with this grow 👌. Calcium and magnesium... Yeah where I live has extremely low levels of cal and mag. Biobizz nutes and lightmix soil dont contain enough on their own for my girls. I use lime and Epsom salts... 1tbsp per gallon of soil every 6 weeks to keep my girls happy and topped up 😊 x
Thanks so much you guys and gals who answered my grow question! 3 fab answers and all absolutely spot on advice I'd say!!. I will LST The remaining side branches this time to maintain a nice even canopy and to avoid any disasters so late in the game with the autos!! Not worth loosing out altogether for maybe a few extra grams!! Thanks again people :) I will play it safe!!HAPPY GROWING & SMOKING PPL!! :)Miss Bling XxX
Thanks Bulbi!! Very interesting!! maybe I should resist the urge to further train then?! I am obsessed with even light Haha. Cheers for the input bulbi :)
@MissBling, hey you got it 💪 just one thing though : i got bad experience LST-ing autos already in flower, the branches that were pulled ended up yielding less than those that werent, just letting you know, because a few extra grams is always worth it ! 🚀
Nice! I'm curious how those blueberry twists will smoke!!
I've been wondering about organic ph up/down methods as well. I've been considering lemon & vinegar as an organic ph down and baking soda for an organic ph up. There is also a product called earth juice natural that has a ph up/down line. But I have not yet tried any of these methods personally. Hopefully some more experienced organic growers will have some advice!!
How many defoliation rounds, waves or whatever leaf stripping you do to plants ? ;))
Looks like no fan leaves left ..
I am very interested in that. Could you share some of your experience ?
Nobody seems to answer my question at my diary, so i am seeking for answers myself.
I am a strong believer in defoliation , just i hate to make stress to anybody, even to my girls, when i know it helps in the end ... Its just so hard to rip leave or all of them ;))))))
I have my mini test runing and search for grows who look like after good defoliations and asking people stupid questions ...
@ThatoneAKguy, Thank u 😎👍.. Some autos will react better than others I think I have had some luck on my side maybe?! Thanks for your comment hunni Best of luck with your grows MissB 💕
@AsNoriu, Hi there 😁..
Ok so. Firstly I am no expert and anything I say here is simply what I do with my own plants. I am not suggesting this is the correct way to do it, just what seems to work for me and my set up 😎👍. So here goes....
Defoliation. I have experience using this technique on my other crops. Also done a fair bit of reading on this matter and I practice this technique on all my girls.... and it is something I can see is working well for me 😁. I will add a link to this comment at the end with an article I found helpful in the beginning. Have a read!!
Ok so I start to defoliate a tiny bit very early on in veg... This is just to get the plants used to being stressed a little so they don't get shocked and or stunted or stressed... like they would if you started ripping leaves off mid flower, for example on a plant that has never experienced that kind of trauma before. This is called "hardening." Just like with tomatos. Which I also grow in my veg garden! Just like your grandmother Coincidentally lol...
So in the beginning I will remove ONLY 2-3 leaves the first few times, then wait and watch my plant closely over the next few days to ensure she is not too stressed, stunted or unhappy with me in any way.
If she is happy and unaffected simply repeat this process every few days (2 times weekly on average) removing a few more fan leaves each time. I do this throughout the ENTIRE grow. The plant will grow new fan leaves to replace the ones you remove but they will need much smaller and less offensive than the older bigger light hogging leaves!!
The idea behind this is that I remove the old, big bulky fan leaves that would take up too much of my grow space and possibly cast shade on my flowering colas, which will negatively affect taste, yield and potency.
So I continue to do this all the way into flower. This time removing the top fan leaves rather than bottom ones to allow maximum light to those top colas. If you take pictures a few days before and after defoliation you should see the difference in the size of flowers!! You will be amazed 😉.
Defoliation is also great for reducing humidity in your grow room, saving space, keeping plants compact, keeping canopies even, maximising light power and improving potency and yield (DISCLAIMER... IN MY EXPERIENCE) 😁👍
Next time I defoliate my blueberry twists (see other diary) I will take a video. I will show you exactly how I do it 😃 will comment again here when Iv done that.
I really Hope this helps. If it makes no sense let me know and I shall try and explain better.
Link to follow about defoliating when I find it!!
MissB x 💕
@ThatoneAKguy,
3 times i edited grammar and added some thoughts, its crashing every time .. no more one finger mobile typing.
If your plant is strong and you know what you do - just do it !
Sandwiches of tucked leaves dont work.Light absorbed only by top one. Just sweat and asks mold to move in ;))
Hey missB I've been having the bottled nutrient blues also. I choose soil because of its buffering capacity and I'd like to one day get better at being able to reamend and reuse my soils rather than having to throw them away because of all of the excess nitrates etc that come along with bottled products. Unfortunately ive had to really try investigating the bottles i try using by getting the msds or sds sheets on each bottle. It's so hard when the majority of the companies are "mostly" or "partly" organic and then rant about how organic they are when it's only slightly so. I hope you can find the solution to your need of organic products to help with the ph and everything else. ✌️
@MissBling, i fell in love with their podcast...that was how i first found em. So if you love nerdy science agricultural cannabis talks give it a listen.😊 i especially love episodes 9,10,12 and the bug lady is badass and the Coot guy too.
@MissBling, yea im no soil biologist so the whole recipe factor is always confusing for me. I know kisorganics.com has a great and true organic super soil recipe, they also sell their super soil and tell how to reamend. Then there's the clackmas coot recipe which is also very good and very organic environment conscious. ✌️
@Denzul, Oh noooo!! Iv heard this happen to other growers. The wonders of Mother nature. Best of luck next grow. I will follow along for sure!! 😊
Much Love,
Miss B.
@MissBling, oh I will be for sure! This run I had a freak incident where I planted 5 seeds direct to soil for the first time. 3 weeks later nothing from all 5. Went to my old germination method for a new batch, this time germinating a few extra incase. Well all 11 of the new ladies took and were put in my original pots. Fast forward another 2 weeks. A month since my initial run. And all 5 ladies start popping up next to the new ones. I transplanted them all out successfully and but was stuck with 16 plants opposed to my target of 4-8. So unfortunately some ladies had to get taken out. I have more seeds so every lady who didn't make it will be grown next run. Also because of the mix up there is about a 50% chance I am growing a lemon auto without knowing it because I had no clue which was which when the zombies(what I named the original runs survivors) were in which pot at this point over a month later and all shuffled about.
@FlavoursUk, Thank you my friend 😁👍... I'd say go for it!! But please let me know if you do, so I can follow along... I would kust love to see how she would do outside 😍😍👌
Bet she'd be Incredible!! 😎
Much Love,
MissB 💕
Nice yield Miss! You are do pretty damn well in soil compared to many I see. What week do you start feeding them nutes? I started a little hydro project and am testing out 300 ppm on 1” seedlings to see how they respond.
@ThatoneAKguy, Thank you. Thats so nice to hear cos I really struggled in the beginning with my organic soil experiments and almost gave up hope!
Ok so I dont feed any liquid nutes until after first 2 weeks. Just water. But I use worm castings and hypothetically speaking with the organic ingredients they should have everything they need already in the soil for first 4 weeks. Maybe even longer!! So I only feed 1ml per litre only for 3rd week and 1.5 for 4th. That's all they need the microbes do the rest for me 🤓👍
Oooohhhh.. I love experiments!! Sounds interesting. See how early you can start bulkinthem up 😃Keep me informed plz 👌😎👍💕
And I love watching your grows too. Very different to mine but I like that...I must admit I know very little about hydro but it interests me a lot 😊🤓.
Thanks for stopping by!!
Much Love,
MissB 💕
Beautiful diary, congratulations on your big success! I'm planning to start a grow soon and also will go with BioBizz. But where the heck did you see a CalMag deficiency in week 3?
@Buddha2, Hey!! Thank you so much !!💕 Super happy with this grow 👌. Calcium and magnesium... Yeah where I live has extremely low levels of cal and mag. Biobizz nutes and lightmix soil dont contain enough on their own for my girls. I use lime and Epsom salts... 1tbsp per gallon of soil every 6 weeks to keep my girls happy and topped up 😊 x
Nice sparkly buds 🤩💖.
My previous grow ( my first ) I grew GG4. I was restricted to 5ft height. I let my plants veg for 8 weeks. I never researched " the stretch " my plants grew past my lights. It was the Amazon. Plus I never topped nor trained, so branches everywhere. I tied/bend back what I could. Then I learnt super cropping flowering week 4. Thumb & index finger rubbing of stems to soften the bend blow etc I can't say it made for a bigger yield as I have never grown before so no comparison. But it got my buds back under the lights. Although the science tells me it should increase yield. What I didn't get was shocked plants hermaphroditing on me. Not sure if that was sheer l🍀. Anyway that was just my experience.
@Puffer_Bill, Thank you Bill 👌. The smell is heavenly. She is drying and I am like a kid waiting for Christmas lol 🤣.
Thank you,
for your support bro 🤗 All the best of luck to you... I will check your girls out now 😎👍
Much Love,
MissB x
@@ShotGunBob, That is super kind of you my friend. This is my best one so far for sure. Cant wait to see what she weighs dry. Thanks so much for the encouragement
Cant wait to see what your growing.... And finally...
May all your harvests be bountiful my friend 😁💕
MissB x
MissB,
Waiting for that link and thanks for sharing your know how.
I will need couple years to get some statistics , but my atemts not bad aswell, check my flowering week 3 couple first photos ..
Returnig to some experience sharing ..
My grandad was teling me not to harm any plant till he is transplanted (so dont touch all veg time) and during that transplantation time you can shape him up a bit .
And he never was transplanting plants till they dont reach certain maturity
So i was trying the same on my plants, think stress is needed and must now ... Maybe ill change my mind later ;)))))
One year we had worms infestation. Young tomato leafs where just eaten by them ..
I dont know will you believe it, but that was one of most productive years, everybody liked to chat about that while eating tomatoes or just showing off infront of other gardeners ;)))
So when i was reading about schwazzing (one of defoliation styles) i remembered that.
The idea behind is not only light penetration, it is puting plants stress into your favour ..
Plant after loosing most of his leaves and when he already midway into flower has a dilema what to do .. ussualy he put all efforts into next generation and thats all i need.
Have two plants same height , same genetics. One was defoliated and bottom trimed another light defoliation and no trim or any clearing was done to it. Test is happening right now, but i already know the answer ;)))
After two month i will be pure defoliation, lolitop and other stress believer ;))
Next run will go with two same girls, one will strip my way - in waves of stress and another will be your graduate style version ...
We shall see.
Thanks for your replay, keep on growing !
@AsNoriu, Excellent!! Let me know the results of your experiment bro 🤗👍...
There are a ton of articles out there but this one I found really useful when deciding weather or not to defoliate....
Check it out...

Look at the pictures. I had exactly the same results as this guy 👍👌😎

Hey there so regarding the ph level...i believe any of the "carbonates" should work fine. Some people might choose a dolomite lime product which is the calcium magnesium carbonate or agricultural lime which ends up just being some form of limestone either broken down or dust and its just calcium carbonate. And many do just turn to baking soda. There's a good company out there called kisorganics.com and they've got excellent products that all focus on organic and sustainability. ✌️
@Experimentgreen, Thank u so much for your help. It's much appreciated :) xx
Ok so... I topped up my lime and Epsom soil amendments last week (top dressed and watered in) so my soil should be around 7!! I am a little confused. All I can think is that feeding every single watering seems super excessive to me!! I think Salts and or nutes are building up over the weeks. I'm considering maybe feed then feed then water? Every week instead of feed feed feed. What do u think? Xx
hey there Ms.B. hope i answered your question, HST on a flowering auto might backfire but your other plants could maybe benefit if they're not too far along. If you need any more help just message me 👊
