Sunset Sherbet + Scout Cookies

Starting off I was very close to overwatering them, but got better pretty quick.

It's going well, feels like growth is a bit slower than it should be. The other seedlings are also nice.

It's going well, feels like growth is a bit slower than it should be. The other seedlings are also nice. I realised a little late that the waters PH was to high, 7.5 to 7.8 this was with a pool testing strip. The water is from a bore hole, have tested it probably 10 times and has always been in the above range. Then also at the same time during transplanting the seedlings I notice the soil I use is actually soilless coco. But a fantastic mix, it's called Freedom farms. I remember optimal level is 6 to 6.5, so immediately I got myself some PH down by GHE. 1ml per 5 litres, brought its down to 6.5 to 6.8. I know its not exact but it's really soft water, and I noticed a little boost. I gave the White cheese it's first feed, 3ml Blackstrap Molasses + 7ml vermipure liquid worm casting to 750ml water @ a slightly lower PH. Also some red clovers are coming through as living cover crop, I enjoy the synergy if any lol Ultimate objective is to grow them in a simple manner, keep them happy and heatlhy. But trying to keep it organic. Grower from South Africa.

With the PH lower, the plants are loving it. The sunset has naturally top itself, still looks strong and healthy. Thinking of topping my bigger plant, Ive heard something of topping closer to the growth is this more ideal? I think it's strong enough to handle the technique. Will feed them some Alfalfa sprout tea in a few days Day 27 Gave some Alfalfa tea foliar spray, rested them from the light for 6 hours. The big one have been showing some more tip burn on some leaves. The plant still looks resilient and is growing nicely, same with the others, nice growth since last check. I'm still unsure about the PH, but perhaps it's just the plants adjusting. It's only been about a week since I've started adjusting the water. Wish I had a PH meter, unfortunately not possible at the moment.

Been on the back foot with my big plant. I suspect watering at 7+ph the first 2 weeks has stressed her out. Hopefully she'll phase through it, I've been watering at around 6 to 6.5ph and did a flush today tried to aim for a range of 5.5 to 6. It's the first time I've watered and had run off since the week of transplanting. I will let her heal, then I'll try and defoliate because she's still growing nicely at least. And getting really bushy.

All is going well I believe. The white cheese is nicely developed, strong stem structure. and a lot of bud sites all over the plant. Wondering if doing another defoliatation would direct more focus to the main sites? Also I have three other plants that are about 2.5 weeks younger, so I have to keep an 18/6 light schedule. Would I have to switch the flowering plant to 12/12 even though it's an auto?

It's been cruise control, no worries at the moment. The big plant, the white cheese is looking beautiful. Lots of frosty bud sites, will continue with a simple 2 plain water feeds then 1 Molasses feed. The other three are progressing nicely through veg stage, I lst the northern light auto. The sunset sherbet phased well through its natural topping and is growing quick. I'm letting the green scout cookies go natural. I'm hoping the white cheese auto finishes within the next month, freeing up room for the other 3 plants. What do you guys think of the growth rate? Also I had a nightmare about picking caterpillars of my plants, gave me a real fright 😂

It really has been smooth sailing, and hopefully that continues. The only problem is my own desire to speed up the process, but keeping it in check for now. I will have to keep an eye out because I've only be able to maintain rh around 50% at lowest and for about 8 to 10 hours a day. The rest of the time it fluxes 60 to 75. Doesn't seem to be taking stress from it, for the moment.

It's been an easy week looking after the plants, growth continues but with some slight signs of stress. I believe this is due to my troubles controlling RH through out the day 47%-75%. But it's still favorable growing conditions besides that. I only feed the plant Molasses at 4 ml per litre but thinking of upping the dose. Anyone have ideas of how long she might need to go still?

It's getting to that point with my first plant and grow, really happy with how she turned out. I did a 2nd flush yesterday, reckon one more will do the trick. I'm not sure if she can get any bigger on the buds? Probably not since all I feed her was Molasses. Think I missed her true potential but she is still beautiful. How much of an affect would switching to a 12/12 light cycle have on my NL plant who's about 2 weeks into flower? She's been used to 18/6. I need to switch to 12/12 because I need to flip the Sherbet before she gets to big.

Happy to have remove one plant from my tent. Yet the space filled instantly. So all these plants are about 88 days old, two of them just starting their flowering stage. I'm prepared to let them go as long as possible. I am wondering, what can I do in terms of feeding them differently from my first plant which was just feed with Molasses? First thing is to support that long stem. What else would you guys suggest I do?

Now it's only the two plants left. Happy to give some extra space now, because I'm hoping these ladies will fill out nicely. I believe I've done the right thing by get Freedom Farms Fire juice and Sea weed pure klep extract. I'll start below recommended to be safe.

Nothing much happen, just keeping them ladies in a consistent temperature range. I think they will show some awesome looking bud 🤞 But keeping busier outside with the raised garden beds, will fill them over the next few days. Looking forward to start the outdoor grow..

Still going steady, nothing major has happened. It's been so cold outside think it has just turned and looks to be warming up. This will help with my RH in the tent, other than it being a bit to high everything else is in check. I've got 100% confidence in the nutrients I'm adding, the bud site are developing so well. And looks to mature close to each other, hopefully nice dense buds. I'm considering do another defoliatation, so far it's gone through regular defoil up until now. Just thinking it's better to leave it perhaps? Looking at current level of development.

Decided to up the nutrients slightly, I'll maintain this dose for the next two weeks roughly. Will check then if I can up again. Also did a bit of cleaning up, removed some fan leaves and quite a few odd ones. I want these plants to get maximum lights, really happy with the way they are turning out.

Not sure how much longer, I feel like progress is slow. Although they are looking great, really happy with them. Super easy to maintain, I've learnt so much over the last few months. The next grow in the tent will probably only 1 plant. I've prepared two big 30 litre buckets for two 2 plant outside this coming summer.

Eish guys, I was hit with some minor bud rot. Only needed to cut a single bud site off, but am aware of the possibility of more because of high RH. All my focus is on keeping it low so that I can make it to the end. Seems that the scout cookies is starting to bulk up a bit, finally was start to worry a bit. I think they are close but can't tell for sure. Im keen to give them a flush and see how they react from there.

Conditions have been much more consistent, managed to get RH as low as 47%. I flushed them two days ago, the sunset sherbet will be done in about a weeks time. The scout cookies might be another 1 to 2 weeks. That my rough estimate would appreciate another's input?

Really happy I made it all the way with her, as she started out a bit funny. Turned out to be my biggest plant and I think healthiest. Will have to wait and see how she tastes, i normally try after 2 weeks curing in a jar. I wish I had trained the plant better but that's the learning process. It's definitely a hardy strain making it through quite a few weeks of not so ideal environment.
