Sour Diesel Auto - First Grow - strain 1

Hello again! Can you feel the smile on my face, I think you can... 😄 Not only because her buds are becoming so pretty but I also bought two new toys 1) A Jewelers loupe To investigate my plants and ofcourse the BUDS!! 2) A smart plug to automate my lights and watch power consumption Her leaves are happy, her stalks are happy, her buds look happy.... WE ARE ALL HAPPY Okay lets get on with it ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pests Nothing to report, literally Leaf miner damage is still there but they are dead ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Defoliation Okay so I am not going to make a big deal of it It was literally my friend, an experienced grower who pulled a few leaves off he deemed as currently a bit useless ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nutrients As you can see I added some epsom salts The Epsom salt mix was actually for my banana blaze but with further reading, I realized it is great for all plants for many reasons... So I watered all my plants with it (ONCE) So far so good Rest of the time I have slowed down with nutes almost completely as I think its pretty much flushing period ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now for my new toys The jewelers loupe: SO AWESOME!! Great to see what is going on down there in such detail, a product I would recommend every grower to have from the start You can see and identify pests, you can investigate any leaf damage and of course you trichomes and buds I am still learning how to do manual focus with my camera along with using the jewelers loupe, excuse my photos but I am getting there The Smart Plug What an absolute winner I have been able to set on/off schedules for my lights (No more late nights and early mornings) Plug take care of it I can see power consumption and estimate costs Along with power consumption costs, I can see if my draw is lower that something may be wrong with my lights I can control the power and see power draw from anywhere in the world, as someone who travels a lot for work and such this is a huge advantage ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weather Ugh we have a tropical storm on the way - I am enjoying the sun and less wind while it lasts Plants will probably have to be inside for a few days and outside plant will need to be covered HUGE WINDS COMING with rain ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All in all I am super stoked with this plant she is smelling so good and looking so radiant... cant ask for much more to be honest Its been quite a journey so far
