Great week 3 for my lovely Gorilla Melon

~ GG4 SHERBET FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "Bred from extremely potent and flavorful Gorilla Glue and Orange Sherbet genetics, GG4 Sherbet FF (Fast-Flowering) takes all the best traits to the next level, offering a high-yielding strain that can produce up to 600 g/m2 in a 7-week flowering time. This super resilient Indica-leaning hybrid thrives indoors and outdoors, and in all types of climates while producing mouth-watering sweet, fruity, spicy and earthy terps that translate into a delicious sugary hazelnut aroma. Expect an extremely relaxing and overall happy effect that’ll leave you with a huge smile from ear to ear. It’s the perfect strain for growers of all levels of experience seeking low-maintenance yet highly productive photoperiod varieties that deliver quality and quantity without extra effort. GG4 Sherbet FF grows chunky buds with long dark orange hairs and spade-shaped calyxes that get encrusted with trichomes by harvest time, giving them a gorgeous silvery-white appearance. This medium-sized photoperiod can reach up to 200 cm in height and yields up to 650 g/m2 while developing that typical hybrid structure. GG4 Sherbet FF grows with a stocky, bushy appearance, developing one sturdy main cola and fat side branches that support huge yields without much effort. This super-fast variety produces distinctive light-green buds with a high bud-to-leaf ratio, making your trimming sessions a breeze. It’s a top-notch resin producer that doesn’t need much maintenance and will thrive in almost every climate, rewarding growers of all levels with extremely flavorful resin that makes for outstanding hash end extracts." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 4/11- Here we go into the second week of life for my FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and she's doing really well! All I'm doing right now is making sure that her medium remains moist, watering only when necessary. I'm checking her root development daily and she will be ready to transplant outdoors any day now! 4/13- Today is TRANSPLANT DAY! I moved the GG4 Sherbet outside to her prearranged 'new home' which I had previously prepped by adding some Coco/Perlite into the soil to improve the texture and drainage. I then pre-amended the soil with Gaia Green 4-4-4 All Purpose slow release dry amendment along with 3g of Wiggle Worm castings, 2 cups of ground Alfalfa and 1/4 cup of Extreme Gardening's MYCOS. After which, I kept the soil moist to allow the microbial colony to populate for a week. To transplant, I first made a hole then placed a Solo cup in it to make sure that the depth was adequate, then packed the medium up against the cup firmly which leaves a nice Solo cup shaped hole in the ground. I then wet the inside of the hole that I formed and coated the hole with Extreme Gardening's MYCOS root enhancer, after which I removed the GG4 Sherbet from her Solo cup and placed her snugly into her new home! After planting her in the ground all that was left to do was lightly water her in... Let the fun begin!🤪 4/15- The GG4 Sherbet FF from FastBuds is doing extremely well in her new environment. To be quite honest I was slightly hesitant to place her outside this early as we are only getting approximately 13 or so hours of sunlight daily. Based on my experience last year growing a Gorilla Cookies FF, which was placed outside at a similar time and did extremely well, I went ahead with the transplant, confident that she would be just fine. 4/17- I'm watering around every 2-3 days right now using water straight from my well through a garden hose... super simple! I do not worry about PH as long as the water isn't chlorinated and is good enough for me to drink, it's good enough for my plants and the microbial colony in the soil will adjust the PH to where they need it and at the same time provide the nutrients that the plant requires... again, nice and simple. Well there goes two weeks for this little lady. The next coming weeks should see an increase in size and vigor as long as the weather cooperates... fingers crossed!🤞 Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

4/6 Woke to see two seedlings have lost their shell. Only one had a weird long curvy taproot that has come out of the soil. I'm not sure if I should perform surgery or just wait it out. I mean I can see the seed on top and the cotylden leaves. It's like it dips and can't hold the seedling up. The other mk ultra popped excellently and another has the seed visible. I'll do some research but I'm now doing away with peat pellets and going right into soil from now on. It seems like these just cause problems. The seedlings under the hps are doing better. I think it was smart to switch the light. I can see what MIGHT ve burns on a couple seedlings and TWO haven't developed there true leaves or are very stunted. So if those three don't make it ill be replacing them with the ones I just popped. I may pop tge other two mk ultra but more likely I'll wait the three days until my 10th planet comes. I took apart some of the sour cherry seedlings just to see how they were growing. Makes me feel better as it might not look that great on top but they were working on developing roots. I'll update later. I've got a lot going on in my life but I need to make sure I take care of my seedlings. 4/7 Pretty sure I watered today. I'll have to check but I know I did. Things are going better. I think that bigger light stunted them. The 2 mk ultra and 1 chem dog #4 sprouted and were in peat pellets. I transplanted them into solo cups with happy frog and put them on the outskirts of the light. I thought i might've lost one because the taproot came out of the ground and bent. I'm suprised it came out of it to be honest. And fast too! My Etho's 10th planet came so I'm thinking of popping a couple of those as well. They won't be stunted and this strain has done the best by me. 4/8 WATERED EVERYTHING WITH A SHOT GLASS BESIDES THE FRESH TRANSPLANTS. Forgot my water yesterday so I'll pop a couple 10th planet today. I MIGHT not lose any seedlings. They seem to be coming out of being stunted. The ones that WERE stunted anyway. However there are a couple I'm not sure of. Better safe than sorry. I'm getting excited. I'm going to bring the other hps light to my cousin and he'll fix it quick. That way I might not even need to switch to the L.E.D (that I'm not as familiar with.) I'm sure it will be fine either way. Clones did great under the l.e.d. I think it's just a bit much for seedlings. Which is strange since they sprout under the sun? I have the least experience dealing with seedlings as I usually but clones. I forgot to take pictures too. I have to go back over and ill take some. ADDED A FEW PICTURES AND POPPED 2 ETHO'S 10TH PLANET SEEDLINGS. THIS WAY I CAN SAVE A FEW AND ILL HAVE MOST OF KY BEANS FOR NEXT YEAR. IVE GOT A BUNCH OF AUTOS TOO BUT IVE NEVER GROWN ONE. ONCE THINGS SETTLE DOWN AND AFTER THIS SEASON I MAY TRY MY HAND AT INDOOR AND THOSE AUTOS WOULD BE GREAT FOR THAT. NOT SURE IF I SHOULD START A SEPERATE DIARY FOR THE 10TH PLANET OR JUST KEEP GOING HERE. IF I DID IT WOULD BE A SINGLE STRAIN DIARY SO I COULD ENTER CONPETITIONS. BUT DO I REALLY WANT TOO? 4/9 DIDN'T WATER. MISTED THE TOP OF THE FRESH TRANSPLANTS. HAVENT CHECKED THE 10TH PLANET BEANS YET. ITS NOT TIME. I may end up losing a couple seedlings. I'm not sure. They may just be stunted bit I could've damaged them when I removed the seed from the seedling. Only time will tell. That's why I popped the two 10th planet beans so even of I lose a couple seedlings, I'll have what I need for the year. It's like those couple are growing taller but the true leaves had barely formed and don't seem to be getting any bigger. They probably got burned and stunted. I'll monitor them. CHECKED THE 10TH PLANET AROUND NOONTIME. WASN'T THINKING AND IT HADN'T BEEN 24HRS AND ETHOS SAYS TO WAIT 36 HOURS BEFORE CHECKING. BOTH SEEM TO BE VIABLE SEEDS ONE HAS A TAPROOT AND THE OTHER HAS SPLIT OPEN. I'VE LEARNED MY LESSON AND IM GOING TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER 24 HOURS. NEXT YEAR IM GOING TO INVEST IN A HEATING PAD FOR SEEDLINGS. Edit: What a change in weather from two years ago. I got that intuition feeling so I went to check the girls. They seem to be stretching but not NEARLY as much and are now getting some leaf growth. They were all within 10 grams of dry soil weight save for one that is a larger plant. That was 217. Everything got watered with a shot glass and the soil slowly soaked it up. I even had to water the fresh transplants. They have grown to the top of the cups! I filled in the Ched dog #4 with soil and watered. The mk ultra is larger and the soil was a little chilly. I put a little under the light to warmup so I can fill in the other two plants. Man I feel better seeing them out of their slump. I never should've started with that 1000 watt led without testing it. No matter what the box says. I'll take pics tomorrow. 4/10 Had a crazy morning. Didn't take pictures as it was a hurried morning. I filled the 2 mk ultra cups with soil and watered a shotglass. Looking at the first series of seeds I started, (the pink kush and special kush #1) two of the 3 seedlings that are stunted SEEM like they might make it. I might cull them anyway if growth doesnt pick up with the others. I'll see what happens. The first true leaves are coming apart when the were straight up amd stuck together. They looked done for. Luckily we have SUCH a long veg season that even if something is stunted, we have time for it to come out of it. If it will. Things are going well since switching to the hps light. I noticed some slight yellowing on the Chem dog's first true leaves, so I pulled the tray away from the light a little bit. The two mk ultras in the same tray are fine though. I may start a new diary for the tenth planet. Not sure but the 2 seeds attempted germinated and had a nice taproot. I transplanted them DIRECTLY into solo cups with a little Happy Frog soil and Myko's and slightly covered them before misting the tops. I cut a powerade bottle in half and it fits IN the cup perfectly a humidity dome. I misted the tops as well and put them under the asrgarden light until they break ground and get their true leaves. Man I can't wait. I know it's been a rough year for EVERYONE but I've had some particularly difficult situations. Can't wait for this season to start. Next time I go over I'll get some pictures but nobody really wants to see seedlings. They pretty much all look the same. At least I learned something. Oh and I took apart all the sour cherry seedlings that were growing and dissected them and found why a couple had problems. Seedlings are what I have the least experience with so when my whole pack didn't pop I wanted to see if it was me but it wasn't. All those other beans popped and I got some hands on experience dealing with seedlings so maybe a blessing in disguise!. EDIT: WENT OVER AND CHECKED THE PLANTS. I WEIGHED THEM AND I ASSUME THEY WILL NEED WATER TOMORROW. I DID WATER 3 I THINK AS THEY WERE UNDER 200 AND HAD BIGGER PLANTS. EXCEPT THE ONE THAT LOOKS THE WORST. THAT SEEMS TO DRINK A LOT OF WATER. I THINK THAT MIDDLE ROW (2 SPECIAL KUSH 1 PINK KUSH) WERE STUNTED. HOWEVER, I CAN'T SEE WHATS UNDER THE SOIL AND THEY ARE GROWING TALKER AND DRINKING. THE TRUE LEAVES THAT ARE TINY AND LOOKED DONE FOR ARE PARTING AND THOSE PLANTS ARE STILL STRETCHING. I'M TRYING TO LOOK AT MY LAST DIARY I DID SEEDS WITH AND AM TRYING TO REPLICATE IT. ONLY THIS TINE WHILE I AM REDOING MY HOUSE AND MOVING AS WELL AS BEING A MEDICAL CARE GIVER. ENOUGH OF THAT. THE SNOW IS GONE. ITS A LITTLE DISCOURAGING LOOJING AT SMALL SEEDLINGS INSTEAD OF BIG CLONES BUT BY THE END OF THE SUMMER THE SEEDS WILL SURPASS ANY CLONE I BOUGHT AND I WONT HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT CONE WITH CLONES. I NEED TO EMPTY AND CLEAN MY BAGS AND CLEAN AND STERILIZE MY GROW AREA. I ALSO NEED TO POISON THE CAGE AND BLOW ALL ORGANIC MATERIAL OUT AND POISON THE STRUCTURE ITSELF. 4/11 Seedlings are doing ok. I'm wondering if I should put up the other hps as thats what I did the year before when I did seeds. However they weren't "stressed" or "stunted." I think I MAY lose one but the other two had the true leaves stuck together and looked crispy. They've since started to open and I can see new growth. Other seedlings seem to be taking off and finally developing some leaves. The 2 mk ultra and 1 chem dog #4 didn't experience that other light and they seem to be doing great! Checked the 10th planet and one seed is poking out of the ground. I can't see the other one yet but it was a little further behind and I may have sowed it deeper. WATERED everything but the mk ultra and chemdog. I just misted the top of the soil. 4/12 WATERED ALL THE KUSH WiTH A SHOT GLASS. The mk ultra and chem dog didn't need it. Weighed cups and the lowest was 199 to about 207. The three stunted or (damaged) plants seem to be coming out of it. At least new growth is coming and they are drinking just as much as their siblings. I'll play it by ear and see how it goes. The jumped in size just since this morning bit phone was dead. Both 10th planet are now showing in the soil! Things are going good. I'm stoked!

Esta semana fue solamente de flush 🚿 en esta ocasión decidí usar florakleen para ver con cual obtengo mejor resultado si con este o con flawless finish, lo hice así, primero hice un lavado con pura agua con ph de 6.2 lo hice desde el ultimo día de la semana anterior, fue lavado doble, uno en cuanto se encendio la luz y otro justo antes de apagarse, luego empezando esta semana regué dos dias usando el florakleen y ph de 6.2, el tercer día no regué y al final de ese día le di corte ✂️ y la colgué, actualmente ya la tengo curando, la tuve 10 días secándose con una humedad de entre 50 y 60% para un secado lento.

its 56 days. 4-9 days till harvest (i hope) filled the buckets with water and ph stabilisator

420 Fastbuds FBT2307 Week 5 What up grow fam. Hope everyone's grow are going good. Weekly update for these girls. The 3 of them seem to be growing and progressing well. Not as fast as the others in the tent but over all seem OK. The bigger of the 3 is like the odd one out as it is giving me trouble since sprout being super temperamental. The other two are a bit shorter but overall seem healthy. I did do a molasses tea this past feeding so hopefully that'll feed the microbs in the soil allowing the plant to intake what nutes it needs from a healthy soil. Still spraying once a week of Pure Crop 1 to combat any pest,mold, and promote healthy leaf growth. All in all Happy Growing.

FINALLY STARTING ANOTHER GROW. MY BACK HAS BEEN FUCKED FOR MONTHS. CANT WAIT!!!! IM DOING 24 AUTOFLOWERS FOR THIS GROW AND IN 5 WEEKS IM STARTING ABOUT 20 FEMINISED PHOTOPERIODS IN MY 5X5 WITH A TSW2000 SO THEY CAN BE READY TO MOVE INTO THE 8X8 TENT AFTER THE AUTOFLOWERS ARE FINISHED. HOPE MY TIMING IS GOOD🤞🤞🤞🤞 LOL

4/20: She's growing well now, and I'm pretty sure her pale coloration is genetic. Everybody else looks fine. 4/22: I FIM'd her today and gave her about 20oz of water with cal-mag, humic acid, and boomerang and foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. Later, I rinsed off all the plants with a stiff stream of filtered water in preparation for tomorrow. 4/23: Today was BoomBoom Spray day! I just love how visible the growth is the day after a BoomBoom Spray day!😲 Tomorrow I'll spray her down with Axiom Harpin a|b proteins..she'll start flowering soon and I want her hitting her stretch with mega-vigor.👈 4/24: I did a foliar application of Harpin proteins today and I fed her about 1/4-gallon. She's starting her stretch now...go for it girl, I can raise the lights as much as you need! I'll start increasing P and K with the next feeding. I bent over her apex branch and another branch and tied them down. I turned on the 3rd pair of QB's and bud boosters today and removed all the blue and cool white lights from the garden. 4/25: Was busy with life, but checked on her a couple of times...she's really stretching now. Last day of week 3-

Some of you may have wondered: Why do I use CO2 at average 950 ppfd μmol/m2/s (moral flow)? The answer is quite simple. Because of lack of space in some regions of my cultivation area, I simply cannot keep the ideal distance to my Sanlight high-performance lamp, due to some height growth of various strains. And so some of the main colas have ppfd values of 1250 μmol/m2/s and even more... So this is how I manage to achieve and compensate for such high radiation levels even with a CO 2 balance. And I have to say, my strategy to avoid various light stress symptoms works just fabulously. In combination with CO 2 implementation, my babies are simply unbeatably insensitive to light. Thats it! Beginning of 3rd week flowering: Again feeding my babies by 36 hours fermented potions of Bio Tabs Kompost Tea PK-Booster (15 g pro Liter) and added: 5ml Orgatrex/Liter 1 Spoon of Bactrex 1 Spoon of Mycotrex 1 Spoon of Mycco-Vital 1 Spoon of Dynomyco A little tip for those who are interested in small modifications that have a big difference or influence - on the result - effect - beauty - health - taste! Before adding microorganisms or beneficial bacteria or Mycorrizae and Trichodermas, please use oxygen-saturated water. On the one hand, unwanted chlorine gases evaporate and the small world of the microbiome becomes even faster and more rewarding in compost tea to sprout. Last but not least for this week, I would like to introduce my reasons, why I prefer growing biologically and sustainably. First of all, it’s something which suits very well in these times/days we are living now. Sustainability is a big need and task for our planet. 🌎 Nature means life. Our home, the air we breathe and everything that surrounds us. Not just today. Hopefully tomorrow as well. Maybe I'm starting to protect our environment on a small scale, but maybe I can also make a big difference at all. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change... I thought about what’s the difference, between Mineral Feeding and Super Soil Feeding. It’s very easy. Biologically Growing is a similar process than the natural soil activities out there in the lap of nature’s. So plants has to work and interact with the microorganisms and microbiomic communities in the soil. So the plants will never get lazy like the lazy ones of mineral feeding growers. If you grow biologically, you will feed the soil first and the microorganisms will support every parameter next to your plant conditions. And that will generate an unbelievable spectrum of Terpenes and Trichomes you will never forget. It’s the same comparison, when you daily visit McDonalds and you eat only fast food. How does your body and mind react on this shit for money?!?! May I invite you to think about it… See you next week dear Growmies! Have a nice Weekend and take care… Peace out! Addendum for Day 53: At the moment we unfortunately have another winter onset here in Germany. This means that I am forced to take additional heating measures due to structural facts in order to be able to keep the temperatures constant. After all, just tonight the thermometer climbs again to -1 degree Celsius. In addition, my exhaust air system runs out of my bedroom terrace and I therefore grow winter and summer with the patio door open. Well, sometimes I experience real weather-related challenges. But all in all, no problem... "Where there's a will, there's a way." Addendum to pouring out the fermented PK tea: I always administer half a liter of lukewarm aerated water with 3.5 ml of cannazyme per liter to each plant. This means that the "root machine" is not supplied with supplies unprepared and the nutrient solution can thus also be better distributed in the soil. Since I also work with cloth shoes, I spray them evenly moistened everywhere with water that is also warm before pouring them out from the outside. This has the advantage that the moisture stays where it should: in the pot! ... I did the math today ;-) We are still in week 7 until this Friday. And week 8 starts on Friday! OMG... still so much time yeahh! Today my Fast Buds Sour Jealousy and Sweet Seeds Big Devil and Dark Devil Automatics arrived. I'm looking forward to it. This time Fast Buds next Time Sweet Seeds. Love them too. Very beautiful genetics. Today a review video of the beginning of week 3. At the time of the pictures, I had minor signs of nitrogen excess. (Light peaks first at the crown of the roof and then slightly continuing to the middle section.) I then painstakingly racked my brains as to why this could be. I found that very slight dry spots had formed and therefore the root found small accumulations of nitrogen that caused its problems. But then, when I carefully homogeneously checked the moisture content in the substrate, the problem evaporated again. However, they had not shown any loss of growth rate during this time. Nevertheless, they developed as expected. They Strawnanas had no problem with that. In the end, I always have a hard time killing them. But I guess that's the way things go. We live and die. We come and go. But it's not there yet. ;-) Tomorrow is day 56. Tomorrow’s updating day! Can't wait to see their progress. Have a good time and see you tomorrow… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

The plants have continued to grow very fast this week, easily doubling in size again. I moved them closer to the light to 80 cm from 90cm. Watering as needed and I am keeping the soil surface moist with light watering twice a day. I fed some Biobizz Biogrow and some organic teas this week. Low stress training was very effective and the plant responded well except one which stated quite short. I will see if it bounces back or it may be stunted.

She's being grown without any training method,just 100% natural and organically grown,in her soil mix she has guanokalong seaweed powder,complete organics and grow and flo by florians living organics which is full of humic and fulvic acids and 10 different types of mycorrizae and beneficial fungus,plus I'm watering with guanokalong extract and also my lactobacillus liquid made by myself,she looks super happy and green,she's definitely a big lady and she loves her house 😍💚🌱 #organicmedicine ✌️

34g und 32g

24 h light Im very happy the way the plants are growing 🤩

So Xmas is over and I managed a harvest on the most mature at 15% amber. I smoked half the plant already so the yield ain't great, However the quality is there! The buds are sooo sparkly! Smell of OG kush and cheese but with a hint of cleaning product lol. The others are catching up! Currently Trich watching the next most mature.

Goodday growbrethren and sistren hope yal r enjoying the green life 😸 Dosidos is doing great, despite of being eaten alive by Caterpillers ATM.. She is almost done so i cant spray anything on her ... 'luckily'the CP's are big now, so i can spot them more easily But dammit!, they have eaten almost all the leafs! She has had a lil accident too this week, Runtz has fallen on top of her!! (sudden strong winds..they were standing on the ground) But luckily nothing was totally broken.. I gave her some bandage for the cola that was injured (i use bandage and not tape, bc thats more flexible) and some support with wire 👍 and another luck we are having here rn (im so lucky, im gonna fall under a bus!) is that we are having a nice 'late summer' here.. temp is still above 20C with lots of sun and now and then a big rainfall...(she goes in safehouse then) so i think(hope!) she can finish her buds before the CP's do!!(next year, im gonna throw a net over the safehouse, over the openings, to protect from evil butterflies😳 and such. think its gonna help.. a bit) happy growing for all✊

Day 7. Mutant 3 leaf plant. Looks healthy tho. We'll see how she does. Day 13. Never had a plant like this before. Pretty cool.

Sep 28: Overdose is packing on weight and looking to be quite a big yielder considering I only topped her once and didn’t optimize for it being a photoperiod and not actually an auto. So far so good and flowering is picking up speed. Sunlight gets very weak into October and potentially frost but with UV lights and putting her in the garage on cold nights, this will finish strongly. Sep 29: cool and overcast today so I got the LED light out for supplemental light during midday. Minor hassle really but I know the light is quite weak here in October and this supplemental light will likely make a big difference on a late finisher. Watered with cal-mag and potassium this morning. Went to add N and I have some fish fertilizer still…pH dropped in water and I had to use potassium silicate again to get pH back up to proper range. Oh well, she’ll appreciate it all. Oct 1: gave her another dose of fish fertilizer and potassium silicate this morning. Oct 3: not sure why but I gave her a partial dose of seaweed extract this morning along with the warmed water. With lower temperatures I’m upping the water temperature a bit. Now using about 28 C water in the morning when it’s still only about 5 C. That seems to help and is easy to do with a cheap kettle to boil water. Oct 4: she’s completely purple now but flowers are still blooming and no signs of bud rot. Will try to hold off on harvest for another week.

• Just get the seeds already soaked them up on water waiting them to crack open 😝. • 48h after 2 of them pop out the fast honey cream and also the critical. • They finally all pop out and looking nice and healthy after a complete 72h 18/05/2020 • I lower the light yesterday the 🌱 did not react . They didn’t stretch at all they look green and healthy Day 2. • everything seems ok hot days on my place fighting the heat 30c inside the tent today • after 6 days little bit of red stem due to light level, i raise up the light until the stem turn back to green. No deficiency for know they look healthy and 😃

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 90 with lots of sunshine. I gave them 2.5 gallons of water per pot. Day 2 we had lots of sunshine and a high temperature of 91°F. I watered twice today about 2-2.5 gallons each time. Day 3 we had high temperatures of 86°F and mostly sunny skies. I watered 2.5 gallons per pot. Day 4 we had mostly sunny skies with a high temperature of 88°F. I watered about 2.5 gallons from the water hose. I added 50ml of Ferrous Sulfate top dressed to each pot. I topped these pots off with premixed soil like I used in the pots at planting Week 1. Day 5 we had a high temperature of 88°F with mostly sunny skies. I watered 2-2.5 gallons once today. Day 6 we had high temperature of 89 with mostly sunny skies. I watered 2.5-3 gallons per pot. Day 7 we had high temperature of 91 with mostly sunny skies. I watered 2.5-3 gallons per pot. This week was a success. The plant didn't gain much additional height this week. The tallest was 54". I added a little iron, and the soil I added had premixed nutrients. Next week I'll most likely add some blood meal to the watering to boost the veg. They're loving these hot summer days.
