Update time on the ... Number 1 is about 4 weeks into flower, transplant stress may have delayed things... stretching has slowed down, but still good growth going on. Number 2 is about 2/3 weeks, would prefer not to train this one and see the contrast but we will see how she grows.

When I get to decorate the tree... Tis’ the season to be jolly...

You are one hundred percent on the money with the worm casting. I use worm casting initially, and move to more simple ingredients towards the end, the barley contains 52 difference strains of fungus, all beneficial and all carrying zinc finger transcriptions that come with barley inheritance benefits

Okay I see what you are saying. This applies to the list of disease cautioned amendments, to name some, highly controversial bat guano, all guano’s for that matter. Bone meal is another one, obviously due to our “super sustainable” approach of supporting life here on earth. Even the bones are fucked. So these are some of the organic but potentially dangerous substances, all valid points ☝ People are also against using the same ingredients in their soils because of disease etc, so I definitely see your argument. It’s a concern and rightly so. I personally use a very simply tea recipe, and alters ever so slightly throughout the phases of growth. I amend my soil, So I rely on my teas to act as the catalyst to effectively release the much needed nutritional potential with in. An example of my flowering tea, 5l concentrate. Will bubble 1 level tbs molasses bubble for 24h, then add a 1tsp of microbes (haven't looked at the label because @SkunkPharm gave it to me.) SOCK INGREDIENTS - 1 tsp Alfa Alfa meal, 1 tsp kelp meal, 1/2 cup blended malted barley... bubble for 24 hours more and end it off with 1/4 tsp of my Humic/fulvic/kelp micronized blend (premixed in 1/2 L of water) below - this is bundling up 100s of the micro nutrients and teaming it up with the super chelator properties of the Humic and fulvic acids, these are known as the intermediate chelators, the missing link for many nutrient uptake problems. I don’t plan on bubbling guano anytime soon.

Pink Mango Gelato ... week 4 ... maybe some airflow problems, definitely some trimming ones

Blunicorn pushing week 6... 5 to go...

Ferments are good, but I doubt it will ever get better than a fresh tea made precisely the way the grow wants it. Not too sure where the harm would be in creating a microbe filled amendment, and unpacking said natural amendment once used, and top dressing soil accordingly. Well this is what would make sense to myself. Or maybe throwing it in the garden, whop whop. If people are using teas in conjunction to a feeding programs with NUTES. Maybe they wouldn’t see the benefits of topdressing But they definitely should if the program can handle that release. Teas are usually fungi or bacteria dominant. Doesn’t mean bacteria are the bad guys, I think this is better understood with either symbiotic microbial life and well not so symbiotic. If you putting majority of the good in teas, not sure where the same amount of bad would come from without intention. And to go without noticing is also quite impossible. Very much believe in teas and their benefits. But would love to see what you come up with and how it goes ☝

Ya its probably nothing new, but just a good sign a shit yield to come.

Ya ill leave it now and she how it does, but I doubt anything fantastic will come of it, I'm spraying my mixture of humic and kelp.

Looks like its starting to flower already.

Haha yeah, I think some of them are just eager to lift those skirts. I've seen many people do crazy grows with autos. Maybe you gotta spend decent dosh and buy better genetics as well. These president seeds are not the greatest obviously.

Na I've just got bad luck with them, yours look like they going well!

Autos are siff

Looks like my little Auto experiment is over before it could begin. Might push it to the corner and keep updating for shits and giggles.

So both of these @1000Hills Nursery wedding cake x Smeeting are in flower now, confirmed this morning for sure that they are both female, super lucky!!! The plant behind this other WCxSM Same pot/soil amended... One layered and the other diluted with no training, I would have diluted both if I knew what I knew now about layering soil. (IT DOES NOT WORK!) Upwards and onwards, the first girl underwent some decent transplant stress but now she is doing well at least. The growth of this plant is quite substantial, if I did not mess around in the beginning, I'm sure I would have been this far in half the time, however happy to be here, I'm told this strain will put out some deep exotic colours. Roughly week 3 flower.

You should be fine, I do not use a ph pen anymore and will not need one going forward, but that soil is well rounded and that normally means quite warm, could be a tell tale for those clawing leaves. I would suggest if you potting up, new roots will find it difficult to get into that soil. Maybe a lighter mix if possible, besides you are feeding flowing mix going forward? I would feed every 3rd watering in that soil, so once a week.

Looking at the pistils again and I've realized you are not actually that far into flower either, my apologies... However, potting up almost always comes with a decent amount of stress.

Had a guy on the growing group check his Yellow PH pen values to see after years if it went wonky, and the thing was on the money, Ive used them too, they work. But you just gotta calibrate it.

Really wouldn't suggest this, you are far into flowering and that is huge stress.

Maybe less water, more often. Goodluck

How much water do you use each time you water?

Looking at case of Leaf septoria on the google now and I have to retract my statement. But the same remedy would definitely help! The 2 as a foliar is proven to thicken the interstitial tissue increasing pest/disease resilience.

I think you spot on with the disease Septoria, at first I though it could have been bugs but if you cant find them, I doubt they are there causing that type of harm, very consistent spots on the leaves. I think just trying to get her healthier would be the best fix. But having said that the plant looks very big and lush! might be drawing plenty nutrients from that soil and she grows, so maybe bomb her with a huge tea, good dose humic and fulvic - Humic/fulvic + kelp foliar will better yet get straight into the vascular system and does wonders with curing any deficiencies quite fast... Goodluck!

Really good growth there bud and plants look very healthy and happy! Nice one!
