Back with another update on our photo-dependant Indica/Sativa hybrid (unspecified ratio) cultivar, ๐ณ๐๐ฅคSOUR LEMONAID cultivar bred by DANK GENETICS! This is one of the most promising looking cultivars in the tent. Her leaves are just beautiful and her structure looks great! Something is telling me she is going to be a winner!
I have continued selective defoliation and light bidiurnal misting of White Dutch Clover cover crop. Feeding once a week with light watering between if drooping occurs prior to feed day.
Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome. Thanks for joining me on this grow adventure and I hope you will stick with me for next weeks update!

The cultivar received approximately 1 gallon of solution. I mixed 17 gallons of solution for 17 plants. The solution is applied via wand sprayer powered by a submersible pump attached to a garden hose. Nutrients and additives are added to the reservoir in the order listed below and thoroughly mixed using a large plastic stir spoon. The reservoir is oxygenated by four 4 inch air stones.

All components were mixed into a 50 gallon tote that is kept in a warm environment to help innocculate to promote a vast and diverse microbial life in the rhizosphere. Once mixed, add 32-64oz water once every 7-14 days as needed. The goal is to keep the soil moisten without oversaturating.

Another beauty. All of the plants in this grow look fantastic. You are quickly advancing those skilly skills FT.
It's awesome to watch your progress week after week.
@Treighfunky, Thank you for the kind words, my friend! This plant in particular just... feels like she's gonna be something special. I'm looking forward to seeing her bloom! Thanks for stopping in! Happy growing!
Looking good so far. It's funny, sometimes it's the ones that start slow or with unique features that end up blowing up into monsters ๐
I'm hoping that's what happens here.
@FoTwenny, same here. Been a few months. Things higher up the food chain calls to us all. I'll be waiting to see the upcoming. Always beauties coming out your garden. Have a great one twenny๐๐ค๐๐จ๐จ
