Super Soil - Crystal Candy

Sept 19. - Sept 25. The week has been good. The roots have reached the hot soil. Growth has just been great. So far I've only had to water her once. Added some more soil to help with stem support and gave her about 1l of distilled water on Sept. 21. She looks very healthy. Happy growing and stay lit.

Sept 26 - Oct 2 This week has been pretty laid back. Growth is progressing at a good pace. She was watered on Sept 28 with 1L of water. Just been sitting back watching her grow to this point. Easy grow so far. Happy Growing and Stay Lit.

Oct 3 - Oct 9 Oct 5. Been easy going so far. Still haven't had to water her in about a week and no signs of drought yet. Will wait to see signs to see how long between waterimgs she may go. Growth has been pretty good. Looks very healthy. Oct 7. Finally needed a watering. Watered with about 1L of distilled water. Oct 9. This week has been good, finally needed a drink and it took about 11 days since first watering. Very vibrant green, almost has a flourescent green accent on some newer leaves. Healthy and happy. Happy Growing and Stay Lit.

Oct 10 - Oct 16 Oct 13. Things are doing good. Watered lightly today with just under a liter. Will water again tm to help soak the soil. Its so dry atm it just kinda goes right through to the bottom. Removed lower sets of 1 and 3 finger leaves. Oct 16. All systems grow. Its been a good week with little done but some watering. She gets about 500ml every 2 days. I will be adding some critters to my soil and my grow room. I've ordered some red composting worms (adds nutrient rich poop, can add compost right to pots and they will eat dead roots, any leaves defoliated, etc, some beneficial nematodes, hypoaspis miles (They live in the top layer of soil and eat any eggs, gnats or other pests that come around), and some clovers for cover and to add food for ecosystem which I am trying to build. Will add a few rove beetles to also help with any soil born pests. There are a few more beneficial bugs that can be added but for now I think I have some good pest control. Happy Growing and Stay Lit.

Oct 17 - Oct 23 Oct 19. Good start to the week. We have about 5 nodes, almost topable at this point. Will be adding net probably next week to start training. She looks very healthy. Will be adding a compost tea later in the week. Oct 23. This week was great. No problems so far. She is a few inches from where the net will go now. She looks very healthy. Waiting on red wiggler worms, nematodes and hypoasis miles and some crop cover. Should all be in on Oct 27. Will also be adding some mulch to help retain moisture and to add some cover for the worms. Happy Growing and Stay Lit.

Oct 24 - Oct 30 Oct 27. Week has been good so far. Plucked a couple leaves to make watering easier. Predatory mites have arrived, worms have arrived and so have the nematodes. Will be adding them soon. She is doing very good, healthy and happy, will be adding an aerated compost tea to the pots to bring in some more beneficial bacteria. Oct 30. This week has been great. No problems so far. Just been watering every couple of days. Soil really retains the water now. Net will be going up in the next couple of days. Happy Growing and Stay Lit.

Oct 31 - Nov 6 Nov 3. Things are going along pretty smoothly. She continues to flourish. I've added all the worms, nematodes, white clover and predatory mites. Watered with a aerated compost tea. I've also added some pumpkin, plucked leaves and eggshells for the worms to eat. She looks very healthy after tea was added. I've also added the net and she's still a couple inches short. Should be poking through by end of week. Nov 6. She is very beautiful and continues to thrive. She is healthy and about due for a topping. Aloe vera gel will be added as a foliar spray 2 times a week and as a soil drench once a week. Lactic Acid Bacteria serum (LABS) which I'm creating right now will also be added as a foliar spray and soil drench at the same rate. Happy Growing and Stay Lit.

Nov 7 - Nov 13 Nov 13. The week has been pretty good, she was topped a few days ago and has recovered well. Foliar sprayed with aloe and water mix and watered with a compost tea. She has some nice side branching now, and looks pretty healthy. But......... I did notice some movement along the stem and look what I find, it appears to be whitefly larvae but possibly aphids. So I'm not a fan of insecticidal soaps or anything like that. So I try to order some predators like ladybugs. Sold out all over Canada. So I get the next best thing if not the best. Green Lacewings aka the Aphid Lion. These little critters in their larva stage consume 400 to 600 of these little bastards. Nov 17 they will be in for pickup and introduced to the room later that day. Happy Growing and Stay Lit

Nov 14 - Nov 20 Nov 20. This week went pretty good. I released the lacewing eggs which have now hatched and are destroying the small pest problem I had. They are making quick work of erraticating the problem. She looks very healthy. Watered with aloe mix once and a compost tea with lacto b once. Seen some white mildew which will be treated A.S.A.P. Last week of veg done. Light switch will be changed to 12/12 tm. Happy Growing and Stay Lit.

Nov 21 - Nov 27 Nov 27. The week has flown by and I had several things to do so not many pics were able to be taken. Defoliated all large fan leaves from main stalk. May add an organic bloom booster and some silica to strengthen them up for flower support. The stretch has begun and she has started to reach for the sky. She is still very healthy but not overly large. Took several clones from her. I placed some of them in my hydro cloner and some in dirt and used prop tray. So far the hydro cloner clones look really good and look super alive. The prop tray are still hanging on but don't look half as good. Hoping to see pistils soon. So the countdown can begin. Happy Growing and Stay Lit.

Nov 28 - Dec 4 Dec 3. So far so good. The week has been good and she is starting to show signs of pistils and small budlets are starting to form. She is super healthy and stretching nicely. Will be adding Growganica Incredible Bulk organic bloom booster in the next watering. She seems slightly on the smaller side so a good boost should help her fill out. Will clean her up around week 3. Still waiting on Silica powder. Happy Growing and Stay Lit.

Dec 5 - Dec 11 Dec 11. D14F. The week has been great. Minor defoliation and stripping on bottom. Stripped the bottoms 3 nodes from top of branch. Shes not overly big but she may just be a little bit of a slow stretcher. She looks very healthy and is budding nicely at the moment. Clones are doing great. Still waiting on Silica powder. Hopefully it makes it before Christmas. Happy Growing and Stay Lit.

Dec 12 - Dec 18 Dec 18. D21F Week has been great so far. Stretch was rather short and she is still pretty short in stature. Very healthy though and budding nicely. Fed some bloom booster mid week. Happy Growing and Stay Lit.

Dec 19 - Dec 25 Dec 24. D27F Well well well. I got an early Christmas present but its not a good one. I found some seeds popping out the buds. So I'm glad I took more clones than I neededcause there's a hermie in the room and it got to almost all the plants on the one-half of room. So I took 1 clone from each plant I had and started to flower them to find the culprit. I'm pretty sure I know where it came from tho. The other clones aren't big enough to flower so I'm just gonna have to ride out this crop. Happy Growing and Stay Lit.

I really like the strain but it never reached full potential. Unfortunately. But I am growing again with problems rectified and upgrades added. Next journal will be just flower to show the difference. Clone I took is about the same size as week 8 of this journal so it'll be the flowering redemption. The effects section is based upon premature buds. So don't get discouraged by the paranoia. I'm sure it will be totally different once full maturity is reached. Happy Growing and Stay Lit.
