Looking For a Keeper cream of the crop seeds Purple paralysis 24th February 2021 5 weeks of flowering down and I've had a few dramas this week....... Firstly a thunderstorm ripped thru and snapped a few branches that I had to "mend" with some good old tape. I also needed to add ropes to help support the long branches. The second thing that is happening is a Catterpillar attack 😠 After the recent rains I have noticed hundreds of butterflies and Moths flying around my garden which in turn equals bloody little plant eating catterpillars. I have made up a strong mix of chilli and garlic that I intend to spray all over my garden asap. Other than those couple of issues the plants are still growing nicely and the buds are stacking up and developing lots of sticky resin glands. 👌 Cheers for stopping by 👍

Just letting them cruise along. Increased the ec to 2.1 highest I think ill take it , but so far so good. Really wish I would have had controlled the stretch alil more so the buds would have filled out better. But the smell these gals are putting off Is so good. Can't wait to burn this stuff. !! But on we go into 2024, hope u all had a great time celebrating your new year. Best of luck to u in ur gardens thus year , happy 2024 gang !!

I also visited my local hydroponic store this week and purchased me a liter of power si bloom. overdrive and moab. not going to start the MOAB or overdrive till week seven. I’m very curious to what my overall harvest we will be seeing that this is my first grow and all. hopefully everything is going good so far I can’t notice any deficiencies myself if anybody else sees anything feel free to let me know, thank you

First time growing in a long while. I set up a custom grow tent with some wood and mylar sheets. I'm using an old Rodeadro lamp for now but expecting the new Mars Hydro sometimes soon. Really doing this for the experience with no great expectations and hopeful for a fair amount of weed in the end.

She is really blowing up! I'm looking forward to having some chery coca-cola sized colas haaha. I will be sure to include a bottle of cherry cola as she gets closer to finishing! Shes got lots of energy still and is very green despite bieng a few weeks into flower! The overall size of the colas and plant itself already exceeded my overall expectation. I highly reccomend this based on the simplicity. She takes a heavy feed well and I havent sadly been able to take the best of care for her as I would of liked to. She is still stretching as far as I know as well. Its pretty impressive to see that in some autos as it's a definitive trait I see in photoperiods. This lady has at least 2 to 3 more weeks I believe. Check back next week to see just how fast she flowers & how frosty she gets. Dont forget its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!!!

Trying to dial their veg in. Nutes may be too old or too high. Changed with 4ml CaMg per gallon of RO water. The rest is MaxiGrow. Ever since adding rockwool to the grow, I have struggled. I don't have the dry back timed right yet. I moved my fan to dry the top of the pot surface instead of in the root zone or at the canopy height. After about 10 days I dumped out the rockwool and have replaced with hydroton. My initial though on using rockwool was to give the roots more space during late life stages. My experience has been with hydroton and I notice that the roots eventually get bound because the hydroton is a durable material and will not crush or compact. Rockwool on the other hand will compress when squeezed so I was hoping that in the late life stages the roots would compress the rockwool and make more room in the pots. The issue was dryback. If I used chunks instead of croutons, this may help but the other reason I used them was because I had them here already. If anyone is trying to slow their dryback down, they should consider adding 10% volume of croutons to hold moisture in the medium a bit longer. Notice anything different? They are starting to adapt to their new media. Hopefully by next week I can get them to perk up. One plant has looked better than the other three. I have no idea what these plants need to “perk up”. Possibly a different grower. If a grape terpine wasn’t in the end results I would have culled these long ago. Hopefully they perk up when we get to flower. 3 look ,,,, meh, the fourth is descent. Trimmed all four back down to 12” tall. Flower next week.

Topped her again! I came back to this beauty after almost 10 days of feeling like trash. She was getting the minimum amount of attention, but has stayed strong. I have a couple of Autoflowers to finish up, then I will be transplanting her once she has recovered from the topping to a 7 gallon fabric pot. I will probably try to run a SCROG and see if I can fill my 2x4 tent with the one plant.?🤔 Conditions have been good, 76 degrees and 60% RH. Temps at night are still pretty cool so I kept the small heater going for now. I will start bringing the EC up a bit over the next couple of weeks to see if I can get her to really feed, she has shown no signs of nutrient burn yet 🤞Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️💨

Week 4: Girls have responded well to nutes. Defoliation started this week. White spots started showing, After research we believe this to be because of our hard water and getting water on the leaves. We also started LST using fishing line, however this did not work so we removed it.
