SUMMARY: I did a heavy defoliation this week on Sunday 14/02 and then switched to early bloom nutes. I removed most of her fan leaves and all the lower shoots which would not receive enough light. One of the Amnesia shoots has been burnt by the heater as it was in direct line and so I have placed the saucer on top of a mug to raise her up a little out of the heats direct path.
Also what I suspected was nute burn caused by a drop landing on the leaf appears to have spread...a few bright burn spots appearing on leaves, not sure what it is.
DAY 43
------
Tuesday 9th February 10:30
I fed the Amnesia 400ml which produced around 100ml runoff (25%).
I made 5L of transition nutes at a pH of 6.3 and 5L of early bloom nutes at a pH of 6.3. Both made with rainwater.
Tuesday 9th February 18:00
I fed the Amnesia 150ml which produced 100ml runoff (67%). [24Β°C/45%]
DAY 44
------
Wednesday 10th February 10:45
I fed the Amnesia 400ml transition nutes which produced roughly 50ml runoff (13%).
Wednesday 10th February 18:30
I fed the Amnesia 150ml which produced 50ml runoff (33%). [24Β°C/42%]
DAY 45
------
Thursday 11th February 11:30
I fed the Amnesia 400ml of trans nutes which produced 50ml runoff (13%). Need to up morning feed to 500ml.
I made 10L of early bloom nutes with rainwater at a pH of 5.8.
Thursday 11th February 18:30
I fed the Amnesia 150ml trans nutes which produced 140ml runoff (93%). [24Β°C/42%]
DAY 46
--------
Friday 12th February 11:30
I fed the Amnesia 500ml trans nutes which produced around 100ml (20%).
Friday 12th February 11:30
I fed the Amnesia 50ml trans nutes which produced 50ml runoff (100%). I really need to start feeding less of a morning but shes always dry as a bone and light as a feather by the time I can tend to her. [22Β°C/42%]
DAY 47
--------
Saturday 13th February 11:00
I fed the Amnesia 500ml trans nutes which produced around 50ml (10%).
Saturday 13th February 18:00
I didnt have any nutes left to feed the Amnesia and cant make anymore until tomorrow morning now. [22Β°C/42%]

DAY 48
--------
Sunday 14th February 11:45
I fed the Amnesia 500ml trans nutes which produced around 100ml (25%).
I made 10L of early bloom nutes with de-chlorinated tap water (no rain water left), 5L at a pH of 5.7 and 5L at a pH of 5.6.
Sunday 14th February 18:00
I did a heavy defoliation on the NL stripping MOST fan leaves and any lower small shoots which wont ever get enough light. I also raised the light again so that it is 16" above the canopy of my tallest plant as it was too close now she has grown. The Amnesias main cola is almost level with the canopy of the tallest plant now.
I fed the Amnesia 200ml early bloom nutes which produced 100ml runoff (50%). [24Β°C/46%]
DAY 49
--------
Monday 15th February 11:00
I fed the Amnesia 400ml early bloom nutes which produced 180ml runoff (45%).
Monday 15th February 18:30
I didnt feed the Amnesia tonight as she doesnt need anymore right now and I cant feed her later. [22Β°C/42%]
@rockbo47, I watched from seed to stoned on YouTube he did a few himself and they came out good from seed to harvest didn't yield particularly well but the end product looked good, good luck to ya I be keeping an eye on ur feed im intrigued to see how u get on in the solo cup might be something I might try myself π
Appreciate the reply happy growing mate
@Syrunz, Thanks man, yeah she's not doing bad is she. This is just an experiment and I plan to just let her do her thing in the solo cup throughout the entire grow. I MAY defoliate a little but if I can help it I plan to leave her be and just feed her. If I can get one nice dense cola I'll be stoked!
The plants look great, healthy π Thanks for all the nutrient info, I've been using water solubles and am thinking of switching to liquid products. π
@rockbo47, Agreed, I had the same difficulty finding info but this site has helped with that. I find the nutrient, water, timing combo so strain/environment specific that every new grow can be a challenge π Good Luck!
@Grisly, Thanks for the comment, glad to hear people can make use of my efforts that's why I'm documenting it so thoroughly and it is quite time consuming. When I did my first grow I couldn't find enough info on how much water to give when seedlings, when exactly to start nutes etc so figured I would create a good frame of reference. I only used liquid nutes as I could not get hold of any dry amendments but I'm comfortable with the liquid nutes now.
