Finally, bud growth is increasing and beginning on all plants. Nothing new really. Ladies are just stretching and announcing their presence with that oh so sweet budda smell.

Still coasting along. Nothing new. Still being lazy about the carbon filter. Ladies smelling extremely loud. Adding blooming nutes to nutrient line up and reducing amount of N content based nutes but still using them. Watered with fish shit, extreme serene, and calmag. Next liquid given will be bloom nute heavy. I'm thinking I'll let the ladies stretch a little more b4 defoliating.

Ladies were doing great this morning. Loving this winter grow for sure right now!!! Going to start my nute mix tonight so it will have a little time to oxygenate and bring the ph closer to alkaline zone for their morning feeding tomorrow. I'LL Still have to ph mixture though. I hope everyone is doing good with their projects

(AM vs PM post nute pics added)Ladies handled the bloom heavy brew concoction great. Definitely noticed the stretch in pm after getting off work. Nute mix eneded up being a gallon and a quarter or so. Ppms were to high initially so I added ro to dilute. Worked like a charm, I think. Before ph'ing to proper level it was 515 ppms. So I knew I had to dilute for these auto ladies to take it and run with it from what I read. Possibly could have the onset of aphids. LITTLE BASTARDS!!!!!! I Was administering LST to the ladies and snapped a lower bud branch on SC3. Last grow I lost bud sites I culled the whole run(heat realated, not pest, lost a total of 9 sites or so across 5 plants total(2-3per plant)
. Something about perfection that demands it. I put a splint on the wound and followed up n the morning. She took the repair well, but while inspecting I noticed a little white buggar at the wound site. Looked to b a baby aphid to me. Damnnn!!!! Picked up a solution to rectify that day. Kinda sucks, got to wake up super early or stay up super late to administer foliar application. Guess I'll see what's to b. Dang man!!!! Little bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS
SC3 exhibited more stretch than same phenos/genos. Has me questioning the auto finess approach. Vigorous growth exhibited compared to same phenos after injury. Kushman chiropracty attempted on same plant in the am. Coincidence?? Chtacha right bro. Not. Environment is the catalyst possibly, not the stress.

Picked up a bottle of Lost Coast today in hopes of deassimilating the BORG. Frome what I can tell they seem to be mainly on SC3. Pulled all the plants one by one for treatment, leaving the sicky in the tent to be treated last. I soaked the piss out of em; pots, risers, plants, tent drip pan after cleaning, intake exhaust tubing(both ends), & dryer vent exhaust. Had a fan blowing on them while they were out of the tent to expedite drying. After 90 minutes, and checking to make sure they were dry they were put back inside the tent with lights on. This has to be done the next 3-5 days, then at least once a week. LITTLE BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This probably my own fault since once again I was procrastinating in cleaning the tent drip pan. I skipped on the enviroment hygiene and sanitation and got nailed for it. 😂😭😈

Mixed up a 1gallon RO batch of calmag (10ml), extreme serene(15 ml), Trinity (10ml), Fish Shit(3ml), & Rain(3ml) and administered this morning. Ladies seemed to handle the Lost Coast treatment well. Buds exhibited minor signs of shock. Nothing to bad so far. Borg level went down considerably but they were still present this morning. Bumped humidity down to 47%.
2-6
Today will be the third treatment of Lost Coast. So far so good I suppose. Rushed the treatment last night.I Didn't let them dry out enough after treatment. Put them back in the tent at hour 10 minutes. Pistil ends on the buds display discoloring at the tips. Burned no doubt by the light. Not good on an auto run. We'll see what the future brings. Treating again tonight, won't be rushed this time. Foliar treatment tonight may just kill two birds with one stone.
