19.1.25: I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g. I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes. It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements. I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients. Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;- ♡ 2ml Cal-Mag ♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max ♡ 1g of Ecothrive Biosys I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements. I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. 🙄 I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation. The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double. I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest. I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too. I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle. 24.1.25: I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix. This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments: ♡ 60% Canna coco ♡ 20% Worm castings ♡ 15 % Perlite The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;- ♡ 10g Ecothrive Biosys ♡ 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano ♡ 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth ♡ 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon ♡ 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster. ♡ 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle. •Worm castings for some all round nutrition. •Cinnamon for mildew and bug repellent. •Canna coco base substrate. •Perlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system. •Green Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds. •Vitalink bat guano again for Bloom. •RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes. •Ecothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits. •Diatomaceous earth for Silica. •Ecothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial boost. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Try not load up soil with too much sugars prior to flower as it changes the metabolic pathways leading to a delay in the development of floral clusters. Also keep a close eye on the humidity over night, running a high 70%+rh daytime will shoot up at nights when temps drop, especially as plant gets bigger. This is not a criticism so please don't take it as such, your plants is small for 7 weeks, not a problem at all for photo periods but it's a indication not much is getting done each cycle, once you switch to flower if not much is being done then buds will not get much done. Raise ambient temps at canopy to 79-80f, leaf surface temps always run a couple degree f lower than ambient, do thay and hold rh to 50-55%, small tweaks will really help with getting more done. Best of luck , look forward to seeing flower time. 🌼

@Ultraviolet, Hey, thank you for taking the time to give me your input! I really appreciate that! You are quite correct, I have just started up my big dehumidifier. The temperature is between 40-50% RH now. This plant I absolutely stunted due to extreme training. Which is a real shame because she started out so strong. 😕 still I have learnt a valuable lesson with her, and moreover the Purple Punch autos I have in this run. Waaaay too much training and I've sadly ruined those two plants, they could have been phenomenal. 😅 I'm here to absorb all the knowledge I can, so thanks again for the solid advice 👌 🍃✌️

Some strains aren't good for training especially heavy training like that, and autos even more so with the 5wk veg.I top and train mine but nothing as heavy as yours.I finished my 2yr affair with autos last year and Im back to photo then its up to me how much veg they get as I like to grow big plants.

@oldskoolkool, I can definitely see how the control over the photoperiods would be beneficial. This is only my second run, and am ready to mess it all up royally! 😅

There's and old saying KISS.Keep it Simple Stupid.They do really well on next to nothing and respond well to stress.They call it possitive stress.Iv just chopped 30% off the top of mine,over 1foot and they'll come back better for it.

@Kirsten, A lot of us get into going overboard, I certainly have and still do to a degree. I know some of the things I use wont make a difference to the outcome but I know my plants are really healthy and the soil microbes are fed.Thats a whole different world to learn about.The soil food web which is most important when using organics. They're on a better diet than I am,ha.and I eat organic whole food for the most part.

@oldskoolkool, 😅 yes, I'm sure you're right bro! I'm stupid and I love to make things complicated 💯💚✌️

I know how you feel.I think 1 of the best things aboiut photoperiod is cloning.I'd do nothing but clones but its still illegal here and having 10 more plants could see me getting locked up and I'm getting too old for all that nowadays.I have done some big grows which would of seen me go away for a couple of yrs.

@oldskoolkool, Ah yeah, that sucks. Better to be safe than sorry eh?! That's a smart way to go though, cheap and also you can preserve the best phenotypes! 😉🍃👍✌️

All my autos were fast buds, I still have around 50 beans in the fridge as I went mad when they had a buy 1 get 1 free offer. He certainly produces some top strains but everyone does nowadays. I didn't train my autos at all,from what I could see it made little or no difference to yield but I do understand the interest.They produced between 3-5 oz each Light leaks are always an issue. I guess its the zips of your tent. You could always throw a blanket or tarp over it.If you're determined to stick with autos check out ones that other people have had good results with.Fast buds have great site and info about their strains and say how vigarous they are.The wedding cheesecake was my fav for growth and strawberry pie for effect.

@oldskoolkool, yeah I've just started the Gorilla Cookies Autoflower by FastBuds and topped it about 14 days old. It's a very strong and healthy looking plant, so I'm very excited to see this experiment 😄

I can't recommend seaweed/kelp enough.Iv never grown without root boosters and kelp is in all roots boosters all veg boosters and a lot of flower boosters like big bud and cannas boost.You can see your plants pick up.You've alreadu got your humic acid in your top max and they go great together.Biosys has seaweed in it but your plant will wantr more.Don't forget to stand your water for 24hrs as the cholrine kills the microbes in the biosys.

@oldskoolkool, Yes I have liquid seaweed extract, and also use Ecothrive Flourish. I'm right at the end of my Flourish. So this week I'm using the seaweed. Can't deny it's good stuff! I also want to try out some dried kelp that I've found, but this is getting rather expensive 😅

No need to worry about sallt build up with organics.You could probably do with less coco next time 12ltrs is more than enough with 5wks veg.I mix my feed in a big bucket.I'd be soaking the whole pot now with 2ltrs.Big roots=big fruits small roots=small fruits.Roots are often over looked but theyre just as important as the top half of the plant.Look at the size of my plants and they've got around 15ltrs in and I feed every other day for the most part.

@oldskoolkool, I've got 5 gallon pots. I have started to really ramp up the feeding volume, they're indeed very thirsty, and hungry too! They're really getting going on building those fat buds! 😍😋🤤😅
