Repotted into the final fabric pot with the living soil. The plant growth has been slow but I wanted it be hungry when I transfered it so I still havent fed them anything. Now let's see this soil work it's magic

So the new growth is comin through after topping. The sohum is just great. Plant looks super healthy and I only have to feed it rain water. Also the growth is fast, similar to my hydro setup.

So the big tent is free again so I have moved her into her final home. I have topped the two new growths again. And I removed the two large fan leaves to open up the bottem arms to some more light. Other than that not much to report. Still looking good with the sohum soil.

What a bushy little plant. Lots of new growth. I have switched to flower today so these photos are the last day of veg. I will be schwazzing this plant. So I have defoliated hard now and will do it again although not as much in two weeks.

Foliage has bounced back. Shape is good. Hasn't stretched that much and I don't have time to veg longer. Just finished first week of 12/12, still no sign of flower but everything is looking healthy. Loving this living soil, still only using rain water

Got some flowers starting. Have had another major defoliate and that should be good till the end now. Hopefully now I've let the light in things will start to swell.

Not much to report, all looking good. Really happy with the structure. Can't say enough about this sohum soil. Really seems to be doing the trick

Buds are dense and smell great. Have pruned off most of the dying leaves as some had gone crispy lower down. I have never used a living soil before but the buds look just as good as hydro but I usually don't see yellowing leaves until a few days before harvest in my hydro. Don't know if as it has a finite amount of food maybe with the heavy defoliation I forced it to use the nitrogen fully to early? Just a thought but the truth is in the flavour. 1 week to go.

Unfortunately it seeded big time. Sucks because the buds look lovely and smell lovely. Must have been some form of stress.... 😔

Got seeds and lots of them. I'm so pissed off. Must have been some form of stress. I really don't know when it all started going wrong. She looks and smells great but lots of seeds. No good. A wasted effort pretty much. Not the chronic I was hoping for.... 😔

I can’t find sohum soil in SoCal. It’s only available through amazon for a ridiculous price. It seems to be only available locally in CO.

@hitomi, hey friend, may be a little late but check out Nectar For the Gods #4 Soil. Really amazing product, I can pick it up locally in Michigan for $13 a bag. They should have plenty of suppliers near you as I used to live in Carlsbad, CA and would see it at hydro stores quite a bit. It’s an Oregon based company so there should be plenty of distributors in socal.

@junglistbandelero, the local supply stores in Los Angeles just don’t carry it. I’ve called all over including wholesale distribution centers and no one seems to have it. Would think it’s would be cheaper but the shipping is nearly the cost of the soil. If anyone knows where I can get Sohum in LA please let me know.

@hitomi, that's wierd. I live in the UK, and as it is an American company I thought it would be cheaper and easier to get for you.
