i know, cutting is fun.. but.. only cut what needs cutting. Would have left those on.. Fan leaves don't need light to be productive, they do also the main gas exchange. Remove what the plant gives up or when it grows to 'bushy'. Less hassle with pests and the plant has better air flow. Topping at the right time will make your plants focus on the sides. Topping is a way to increase harvest, so is FIM or Mainline (three HST methods). If you see this run as a "gain experience" run.. try all three on one of the three DS plants. Three quick internet searches and read up's. But nice to know your options. When ever you snip, look to sterilize your cutting gear before you do so. In 99% has no effect, and sometimes the plant just dies after a simple snip as some bacteria's of the wrong kind got in. I get a box of medical swipes at the pharmacy. Lasts for a very long time.. Happy plants, very sexy job so far!

I take easy 2 liters on spare. Keeping the product 2 years is no issue, mine is that old.

My Muse was over and helped me with the plant inspection. Had my cam out.. took some shots Post one, 7th I post the full lot and hopefully the THC tests. Plants hanging to dry. Tarryn is 250g wet, Sisa 265g. The mainlined plant seems to win. Going with Sisa as final plant. Looks the neatest, harvests more, bigger buds,... wasn't hard to decide.

Close Up Time milky rather dominant now, for sure not late.. but tomorrow is my set harvest date. Leaves got some purple the Sisa Nebula in the Tortoni Galaxy and the Tarryn Nebula ^^ Same Galaxy

I might be totally mistaken... just looking at your last picture. Looks like your flowers grow a lot more on the light side. I think i wrote it in the start. The Gelato enjoys a bit more light during flowering. If you have 2 QBs lying around, would add them. I have between 1200 and 800 micromole PAR on mine. would get support ready, they will need it

Such a bummer you couldnt keep her from stretching that much. Buds just look veeeeeeery sexy! love harvest friendly plants. The One is a beauty!

Thanks.. did my first Mainlining after about 18 years a bit surprised myself how nice and even the mains turned out. Have one on Sisa, which is a bit lower, the other 7 made what I gently asked em to do

That got me rather unprepared ^^ I send a contact to Bayer and asked where to order Serenade ASO online.. or is there a SA reseller. I found online shops, but smallest container was 2.5 Gallons to order.. is just to much, would last more then 10 years Their SA listed resellers websites are as useless as you can be hehehe one even ends in a dead link on the fungicides. I post a link to order ASAP. My bottle is still 3/4 full.. so didn't check on availability, had no clue is discontinued was also a bit pissed off that I can only send a contact form on the African section, if I give them rights to SPAM my Email and Mobile number.. without clicking those, you can't send. That is rather lame.. so wrote to the German HQ to change that ASAP.

I had a very bad ending using Ecobuz.. the PM situation was way worse after the spray. Tried that product 2 years ago and never tried it again.

Day 6 of Week 17 Update Got nothing... tomorrow is the time to cut. They got another clean up spray this morning. Last thing to do before the final pictures. Tarryn Sisa

Both.. if I fear the weather, I spray a 50% dosage.. if I want to get rid of it, I spray daily for 3 days full dosage. Haven't found a spot in SA where to buy it, I import from the US in general.. taking 2 liters at the same time to reduce shipping cost.. lasts for 2-3 years one order.

If it helps one, was worth typing it. BioBizz is a working but rather expensive fertilizer range. If you replace Bio Heaven with Amino Boost, there shouldnt be any greater complains anymore. I want to try slow releasing fertilizers soon. Youtube temptation is huge One of the points i like to point out... hardly any South African uses it... is the Quantum Flux Meter. Knowing your fertilizer is important. But when you combine both and fertilize according to the light intensity... you get better results on your buds. So, to bring it in consent. If you use the same fertilizer as i, same soil, led lights... and dont get to my results. The quantum flux just showed how important handling your light actually is. And worst, the pricy little tool you use just 3 to 5 times per grow run. But... it gets you to the next level. I still learn on that tool.. far from mastering it My goal is still to perfect the insulation of the grow flat and sort my climate for good. Is my biggest random factor left. Once that sorted, i hope i reach the next level. There are so many guys in here knowing so much more about the plants. Very fun to stay and read. Is a bit the good part of the journey... never ending learning experience

As they only get water till cut on Friday.. and I have a busy weekend coming.. I put the grow summary here. You don't have to read all the posts to get my feeding regime figured out. There is no rocket science to be found here ^^ sorry. The tent climate is were it should be ^^ I played with the Gelato strain before.. even mine is a Orange Sherbet, not a Sunset Sherbet. So I knew that they are normal feeders and don't like to get pushed to hard. Is why I never put 4ml Bloom in per liter. Keep it friendly but every feeding is dinner time. You still need to look at your leaves every time you check your plants. You can spot stress before they get stressed. The faster you react, the happier you keep your plant(s). Dropped the seeds in filtered water (charcoal / UV light) with 27 degrees C for exactly 12 hours. Removed and plated between two dinner plates and moist kitchen paper towels. Once they popped they went right into Freedom Farm Premium Classic soil with a 2ml BioBizz Root Juice (they suggest 4ml, 2 works same) flush of the soil. Only time I use Root Juice, so a bottle last forever ^^ As the FF Green Bag isn't cold in regards to fertilizer, I do not add Fish-Mix at the start like BioBizz Table suggests you have to do. If you use a neutral medium, start with 1ml Fish-Mix right away and the Amino Boost 2ml per 10 liter. Used a syringe to feed. Always lift the pot to check if they actually need it. Then comes the rather easy part.. feeding till flip is the same. Anything Bold changed or gets added fresh. First 5 finger out i stop pure rain water. 1ml Fish-Mix or Grow (swapping each feeding) per liter and 2ml Amino Boost per 10 Liter. You wet a 10 liter pot with FF Green bag soil more or less perfect with one liter... 3 liter pot.. 300ml.. i don't work with run off. I always watch the tips of the leaves to see if they get to much. I see the slightest dis-color coming up, they get twice just plain rain water, then back to normal. The swap with Fish Mix and Grow I don't do because of the plants, I add the 25% molasses sugar to the soil for the microbes to have their own sugar rush ^^ BioBizz Grow = 75% Fish Mix + 25% Molasses. Ergo.. you buy Fish Mix and some molasses... you can mix your own Grow. I am to lazy.. i buy it in 5l containers... except the Top Max. The moment I flip, I also give the first shot of Bloom.. and I like to flip when they are dry and need feeding anyhow. 1ml Grow (more sugar ^^) 2ml Bloom per liter and 3ml Amino Boost per 10 Liter on Flip I keep the BioBizz Grow till I see they are Pre Flower, then I start to swap with Fish Mix again, but keep it at 1ml all the time. If you have more hungry strains, go 2ml from week 3 or week 4. Just watch those tips of your leaves and use plain rain water when needed. My rule of thumb is that I increase the Bloom as soon as I go for the Silica addon. Buds are now clear formed and size of the tip of your small finger. 1 ml (Fish Mix or Grow swapping each feeding) 3 ml Bloom and 1 ml Top Max per Liter plus 3ml Amino Boost per 10 Liter. 2 Weeks in I raise the Top Max 1 ml (Fish Mix or Grow) 3 ml Bloom and 2 ml Top Max per Liter plus 3ml Amino Boost per 10 Liter. And do the same 2 weeks later again plus go max dosage on the micro nutes 1 ml (Fish Mix or Grow) 3 ml Bloom and 3 ml Top Max per Liter plus 4ml Amino Boost per 10 Liter. (If they are hungry strains, 4ml Bloom at this point) 2-3 weeks before planned harvest the last increase in Silica and stick to the sugary Nitrogen 1 ml Grow 3 ml Bloom and 4 ml Top Max per Liter plus 4ml Amino Boost per 10 Liter. Last week I flush... sometimes the plants have other ideas and you adapt hehehe is no exact science. Autos I work with a clear defined feeding table and follow that table more or less blind.. you never get around watching your leaves to see what the plant is telling you. I only give rain water when the plants might run into a issue, otherwise they always get fertilizer in each watering. Welcome to my mess ^^ I used the Bio Heaven Bottle for the Amino Boost, the original bottle is super messy to open after shaking and to close up it always makes a little spill. And the only Pesticide I used... or PM would have given me a really hard time. Stuff works and customs have zero issues if you want to import. Tried to import a Swiss product.. couldn't even ship it. South African customs would reject the import, i got informed by DHL. Not sure why hehehe used in Swiss hospitals and laboratories to clean up. Wanted to use it to wash out my tents, used it in Switzerland before, good stuff, no smell. Sanosil the product name.. bummer.. Serenade works great.. you can spray that before harvest even... better if you do not have to but after 2 weeks the bacteria are decayed. Never ever spray it on dry buds.. never ever!!!! Moldy buds go to the compost heap... just accept your fail and don't inhale that stuff into your lungs. All I do.. no rocket science here, sorry dudes

You guys give me way to much credit I just shout the loudest Plants look how they should look like.. love to follow your grow diary.

Plant Porn

And the Lemon OG Haze 1 September, still in week 4. Getting 1ml Fish-Mix/Grow per liter and 2ml Amino Boost per 10 liter. Will Mainline the batch to 16 mains on each plant and attack the 1 KG dry per square meter (450 watts on a 1.2x1.2)... and as ambitious as I am.. I want to reach 1.5KG
