07/25/2020 Insects have been chewing on my plants. The damage is not too extensive. I expect these plants to grow faster than they can be eaten. 07/30/2020 Mixed 3 teaspoons Big Bloom, 1 teaspoon CalMag, and 1 teaspoon RootStim into 2 gallons of water and fed the girls with it. I am not using anything nitrogen rich because the potting mix feeds for 6 months.

If I could I would grow photodependant plants all the time. Alas, I can only grow one crop of those each year. These were a pleasure to grow. The plants generally responded well to my feeding schedule and produced a bountiful harvest at the end. I would grow these again.😊

Was this a freebie? I planted a free homegrown gelato 5 weeks ago and she is a beast! Already roots popping out of the 3 gallon pot! I just transplanted in a 7! Can’t wait to see your results!

I am seeing flowers beginning to form on these ladies even though I should not have 12/12 until September 22. But then they are supposed to be ready to harvest in October.

Oops. Seems I dosed the girls with CalMag and Tiger Bloom too early in the plant's growth cycle. I just got too used to growing autoflowers.
