Week 5: Repotting and Training Hello dear weed friends, I’m back with my fifth weekly report on my grow with four different strains: Lemon Gelato, Orange Sherbert, Apple Fritter and Bruce Banner. This week was very eventful for me, as I repotted all my plants into their final pots and trained them further. Here are the details: I repotted all the plants into 19-liter pots, as they had too much thirst for the smaller pots. The roots were very healthy and strong, which made me very happy. I covered the soil with a layer of perlite to protect it from drying out and ward off pests. I treated all the plants with LST (Low Stress Training) by tying them down. This resulted in them all having about the same height and a nice bushy overall picture. You can see that on the pictures I sent you. I ordered a special scrog net from a friend that came to my mind. It is supposed to be an innovative solution to optimally distribute and support the plants. I’m very curious about how it will work, but I will only test it in my third grow. My provisional net, which I actually wanted to use, unfortunately tore when I hung it up. That annoyed me a lot, but I quickly came up with an alternative. I used some hooks and tent poles that I had left over to make a makeshift net. You can also see that on the pictures. I’m now very happy with my plants, even the Lemon Gelato seems to regulate itself. She had some problems with nutrient uptake at first, but now she looks much better. I still fertilize according to schedule with all the fertilizers possible for me. I use all the options of the fertilizer that you can read in the fertilizer directory. I thank you for your attention and hope you enjoyed my report. I look forward to the next weeks and am curious how my plants will develop further. See you soon!

Earlier this week our very own sidelibe reporter Lyetah Nutherwon was able to catch up with the clone 1Leaf aka The 1, and discuss the plants recent success. We will now take you there live, to the transcript of that interview L..N.:"So 1 Leaf, what has been the key to your recent success?" 1: "I think the biggest keys have been taking advantage of light and nutrients while also making sure i stay well hydrated." L.N.: "How has all the success changed your life and is it hard not to let it go to your head?" 1: "Nah it doesnt go to my head cuz Im pretty much topped all the way around. I believe its important to stay in touch with your roots and remember where you came from. What makes you who you are. I had a rough dome life growing up and like to stay in touch with that part of me and use it as motivation. L.N. "motivation for what? What would you like to change?" 1: "I don't want young clones growing up feeling the way I felt. Indica, Sativa, Hybrid....we're all the same genus. Indoor plants...outdoor plants....we all need to come together. We dont have to agree about everything just respect one another regardless of what color our leaves are, the spectrum we prefer, whether or not we are foliated or defoliated, nutrient burned or nutrient deficient." L.N. "That sounds down right reasonable 1 Leaf. You should probably be ruler of the universe. What about all the strainists and haters? If plants want something to blindly hate then why not just hate seedling molesters? Just cuz an indica or a sativa wronged you doesnt mean they all will. There's good and bad phenotypes of all strains....but there aren't any good seedling molesters. So let's all just hate them instead. L.N.: "That might be the most logical thing I've ever heard. That's fantastic. So how do u want to finish your career?" 1: "My ultimate goal is to get into flower and become a legendary bud and resin producer. That's my dream. Then once I'm done with the flower game, I want to be rolled up into a big ol' hooter, light me up and pass my ass around the world so everybody can get lit together and stop being dicks to each other. Then I want somebody to make Beans a big ass sandwich."👍 End Wow....powerful stuff right there. I'd like to put that in my pipe and smoke it. That concludes this weeks edition of Legend of the 1Leaf Wonder. Tune in next week and find out what kind of sandwiches Beans prefers.

Nice week. Transition to center mass continues - the frost builds and the aromas are incredible. Purple berry kush - slight touch and the blast of berry kush. I showed it to a non smoker - he smelt it and said - smells like I shouldn’t be here 😂😂😂. Upcoming week will be weening off the finisher and phasing in for a full flush. Divergence on two plants in the tent as they were planted later so will keep the blooming fed.

First week of flush on the way with no where near as much swelling as I hoped, after last weeks question I decided to raise my light another 4 inches to reduce the burning seems to have helped but I'm not quite sure (it was already pretty bad), the EC of my run off varies between 1.4 and 1.8 by the end of the week, next week I am planning to use straight PH'd water however some one has got me questioning my self. But everything is a learning curve and I have learned alot from these ladies and from everyone who has helped and had an input your experiences have helped Next week... HARVEST!! Happy Growing! 👊👍

As you can see this girl has been cleaned up, it was frustratingly to see her try to sort herself out after going into revegetation and we were not sure how long it would take. At one point we thought about cutting her down but we decided to give her another chance and it is safe to say that she appreciated the time that was spent on her. A little bit of love can go a very long way, it has been about a week since the clean up and she has already gone into flower again. The watering is happening twice a day and the feeding is once a week, a good tasty tea has been shared once a week also. This girl seems to have a good ability to fight off the mildew and we hope to keep the pests away! At the moment this girl seems to be free of any issues and we are pleased that we have kept her growing.

Ran into some Calcium/Phosphorus trouble !? First deficiency in the grow. Topped up with new nutrient solution, added some CalMag and Universol Yellow 12/32/12. Raised PH to 6.1 and EC to 1850. Added 100ml 12% H2O2 to make sure no PH trouble occurs. Switched the Carbon filter around so that I can lift my light a little more. Orion F1 is getting really frosty ~2 more weeks? The Northern Lights take some more time.

420FASTBUDS FBT2107 WEEK 5 The two of these are transitioning into bloom phenomenally. They've grown close to 5in in a week so it's safe to say they're reaching for the stars. Color on them both appears a vibrant green with a hint of lime for the newer growth just coming in or on some of the smaller leafs. I upped there feed by adding a little more of the Micro/Bloom nutes of the 3 part GH Flora series. Over all it doesn't seem to bother them one bit. All in all Happy Growing for these two.

Welcome to the start of week 5!! These ladies are really taking me by surprise with the growth they are getting !! I'm getting really excited to start training these ladies to make myself a kick ass canopy ! I will be topping shortly after they finish the node they are working on now and from there the training will begin. They got slightly over watered when I transplanted them an so the base leaves got minor discolouration but that's ok they are happy , strong and thriving ! A big thank you to the people who take the time to come check out the diary , keep on keeping on !! Happy Growing! -V.G Day#26V Ladies responding well to watering!

Day#2 Since watering 1 cup at 520PPM Day#28V Pictures N/A. Topped both ladies , time to get them trained !!!! Day#3 Since watering 1 cup at 520PPM Day#29V Pictures N/A. Watered ladies 1 cup each at 150PPM ( B52 only PH 6.3 ) Seem to be healing nice from topping. Day#30V Ladies are responding nicely from being topped Ivy is gonna grow out 4 mains instead of 2 ! Im so pumped !!! Day#1 Since watering 1 cup at 150PPM Day#31V Pictures N/A. I'd like to think the ladies are recovering well from the topping . One will come out with 2 branches and the other with 4.

There was a very high heat wave in my country! For the past week we had 40 ª Celsius during day time and 30ª during night time. I lowered the led potency to minimal settings and it workerd really good. The strais are the same and it is really easy to see the differences between them.
