Acapulco Gold has been forming some promising looking buds 👌
I have had to increase waterings this week as the plant is becoming increasingly thirsty. The branches are very heavy for the plant now, and they're beginning to buckle under the weight, so I might have to stake the plant. Because it's got so big now.
I turn the plant round each day to evenly distribute light. It's become difficult due to the bendyness of the plant now, so I have to be very careful now whenever I move it.
The plant has done really well this week, actually, and hopefully, we can be done in the next few weeks, which would be great.
This has been the fastest and biggest plant I have grown yet. I'm very impressed.
I have increased the waterings and am trying to give correct nutrients.
However, I am also using Ecothrive dry amendments as always, and because of this, I don't know how many nutrients to add.
The plant is so big now, I don't think I am feeding enough.
If you have any ideas or suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Leave it in the comments 😁
I am having trouble assessing the nutrient requirements as the plant has always been a light green, but it is really beginning to go yellow.
Here is what I did this week.
12.9.25
I top dressed the plant with Ecothrive dry amendments.
The following amounts were used for this 8 Gallon pot;

The fungus gnats have really increased since I did a watering of the whole tent.
I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days.
Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5cm.
Thanks very much for checking out my diary this week and for hanging out in the comments. Advice or encouragement is appreciated. It's been a fun week! 😁💚🤞🌱👌🧡
