Day 38 29 July 20: watered ph to 6.6 given each approx 2.5 L. Been moving lately so plants haven’t been getting lots of attention. Pest seem to be lower at my new location. Day 43 3 aug 20: broke my leg a week past which I am unable to care for the plants now. They will be watered with rain unless showing signs of severe under watering. Will have a friend reamend them. I topped the fruity hoops for a third time with FIMing as it’s smaller and bushier. I intended to Flower in a tent this week but due to my injury I’m unable to carry the plants in.

Day 57 17 Aug 20: Reamended medium as I started noticing increased growth. Light cycle is supportive of flower. Closer inspection showed pre flower on both plants. Plants got 50/50 of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 at 1 tbsp/Gal top dressed in, loots root growth at the soil surface. Added in rock phosphate (Bat Guano) and glacial rock dust (micro nutrients/minerals). Always loved to throw in Bloom microbes from NPK industries and Dynomyco Mycorrhiza So the nutrients get converted to food for the roots asap. Ratios aren’t exact based on a bulk batch mixed. Was doing some minor défoliations and cleaning off sucker growth. Accidentally ripped off one of the main fruity hoops tops (1/4). Day 59 19 Aug 20: watered plants with 1 Gal of tap water ph 6.8, plants were looking sad this morning even after two storms of heavy rainfall.

Day 63 23 Aug 20: watered plants with 1 Gal each mixed with 1 tsp/Gal of Gaia Green Soluble Seaweed Extract. Dechlorinated and PH to 6.5. Day 65 25 Aug 20: watered plants with 1.25 Gallons Dechlorinated tap water ph to 6.8. Day 66 26 Aug 20: defoliated the plant to allow more light penetration and cleaned up the bottom skirt removing most of the lower sucker branches and larf buds trying to develop. Day 67 27 Aug 20: Heavy rains and cooler temps should tapper off watering so much. Plants need about a gallon every other day or the show signs of under watering.

Day 71 31 Aug 20: watered plants with 1.25 Gal ph to 6.7 Day 74 3 Sep 20: watered plants with 1 Gal ph to 6.4 Day 76 5 Sep 20: defoliated large fan leaves, sucker branch’s and smaller growth. Cooler temps the last few days showing lower rh. Mostly sunny with cloudy patches. Day 77 6 Sep 20: after seeing some very early signs of PM developing On a larger bushier plant (no diary) I chose to defoliate atleast 50% of all fan leaves of the plants to minimize the spread of additional spores. These two plants did not show any signs but due to proximity this benefits them and allows more light to get in for flowering sites.

Day 100: 29 Sept 20: discovered some minuscule powdery mildew spores growing on the the Fruity Hopes and outbreak of Aphids. Applied Hydrogen Peroxide for PM and moved plants back outside due to a growing number of visible aphids Day 102. 01 Oct 20: very cold weather seems be affecting the aphid population and they only observable on the highest fan leaves of the plant. Did not want to apply any pesticides or solutions to affect taste/smell so close to harvest. Day 104 03 Oct 20: Flowers beginning to fatten up with pistils continuing to grow.

Day 109 08 Oct 20: Moving along nicely about 7.5 weeks of flowering, nice purpling beginning to show. Fruity hoops looking close to ready with the Lemon Sapphire not far behind. Day 111 10 Oct 20: woke to both plants having been stolen overnight. Tried to find out some info from neighbors, with no success. They are long gone. 13 Oct 20: Got word from a neighbour that they saw a plant similise to mine in the woods approx 1km away. Located on of the two plants and found two sites where they stripped the plants.
