first time grower,random seed in a bag of local bush weed,it seems to be doing ok,signs of little hairs growing on nodes so im gathering its starting to flowet
started off with 5% nitrogen for 2 weeks at 1.5ltr per day
then went up to 10% nitrogen on same water cycle for 4 weeks
now using 9% nitrogen but have upped the P and the K for flowering stage
soil is sandy underneath so drains very well,typical western australia sandy soil

how do i stop grasshoppers eating my plants,ive noticed when it warms up over 30c little black grasshoppers come around for some lunch,ive been squishing them but they do get passed me and munch away..
Hey mate!! Gday from QLD. Plants lookin nice mate, most likely because you guys are COVID free hey😀
On the grasshoppers, there’s a guy on here who is in NTH QLD and he gets a lot of mid to large ones this time of year.
I saw he made some chicken wire fence around his plant.
Here in SEQ, I get small, green wingless grasshoppers, and a couple of treatments of eco neem or eco oil from Bunnings will do the trick.
All the best bushy 🍻
She's grown about 20cm this week,branches are starting to stretch out,same watering cycle,definitely females hairs from top four branch nodes showing more now..she is booming along,looking healthy and cant wait till she pops out some sticky buds to stare at
Hi mate, is that a searles product??
I’m sure it will be good to use. I have used the searles “flourish” before and it was good!
Especially for getting you out of trouble if you get a bit yellowing.
From memory it’s not registered organic though. I always try to keep it organic where possible.
Check the box to see if it says that.
But yeah, you can use it with confidence mate, just back off in the final weeks to flush out a bit.
All the best to you in the west matey 👍
The big stretch has slowed, gathering she's getting ready for flowering now,the smell is getting stronger,im impressed how good she's going and really enjoying my first grow , hopefully she gets fat nugs soon
Starting to see flowers now,did some pruning,took off big fan leaves and some other little ones to get more light in,has been 2 days rain

She's still just doing her thing, getting thicker and starting to get a stronger smell about her,got about 3 days rain coming which hopefully doesn't affect her to much
Smells strongly like pepper and mandarin,start to thicken up now,3 maybe 4 weeks left,have about 1 week of perfect weather coming, have trimmed off the really tiny buds to focus the growth on the big ol nugs
3/4 day early harvest today 24/3/21 due to bad weather incoming and wanting to avoid mould during drying,tric's had some brown tinge so it should still be a decent toke,will upload photos once dry and weighed,cant wait till next season,peace
@Tree_man, prickly bushes everywhere also a ton of tiger snake's, it's a fight for your life walk in to water her lol ..got some nice weather coming should see her thicken up more,your girls look like they're loving life,well done
Geez thats strange mate?? Could there be males in the area? Give it a few days. Ive sometimes thought i saw seed covers forming but it turned out just to be the way the bud formed. You will know for sure in the next few days. Hope its not a drama for you bro👍🏽
@WestOzzie, no problems there mate, thats a calyx and nothing to worry about. She is right on track. Some lovely Aussie bush bud coming through there mate👍
@WestOzzie, I reckon defoliation is more up to the grower and the strain. I would call myself heavy handed, but I top mine a few times so I like to clean out the bottom and middle. Yours isn’t topped, and it’s not real larfy, just those nice big fans which don’t seem to be blocking off any bud sites. I would leave it (pun intended), at least for now.👍
@Shooey,yeah and still going,give it maybe a week maybe a week and half till buds start forming,getting a real nice ripe mandarin smell to her now,thoughts on defoliation? will it create bigger/thicker buds?
@Shooey,thanks but I think its been pollinated,found what (I hope) looks like a seed sack in numerous buds..cant see and signs of herrmi so hopefully just seeds..they aren't everywhere but they're there..all good thou
@WestOzzie Hi Mate that looks like a real old school cultivar you have growing it's got that real Xmas tree shaping
like the old Thai and Columbian etc Looks Amazing Well Done 👍
@Shooey,thanks Shooey I'll post pics of dry and weighed end product soon,have got some critical autos coming in the mail,that'll be next up,think im getting a free super lemon haze but ill do that next season,i've dried out some of this stuff and it's not to bad probably a bit to much bud stretch form to much nitrogen but its all a learning curve,can only get better ..till next grow peace
