Nope

Day 39 - Amnesia Haze has stretched uncontrollably. I'm not experienced enough, but I think the Nitrogen content of the formulation I've been applying may have contributed to this. 

The below pic shows the stretch(far right plant). The nodes are all stretched out as a result, so not expecting much.

Day 39 - The LST on StarDawg worked nicely, i am hopeful here, but she isn't in full bloom yet.

Canopy.

What is the Bulk seeds deal. I recently purchased a number a seed varieties from a newsh-ish company as well as an old hand. All the seed from both these businesses came in  "aftermarket"' packaging. How does this work? The newer business did not have any breeder details but did have good descriptions. is this an issue i should be taking this into consideration for my next purchase?

Google reviews can be bought nowadays unfortunately - more of an issue in north america than here though

I mean reviews on the breeder pages.

Yeah nothing annoys me more than spending time going through selection, then when you find something all options are out of stock or only 10 packs are available

Or, you read a review and search the seed bank for the breeder and every single item is out.

Few forum members reporting good experience with groenseeds.co.za - havent personally given them a go since they so new on the scene but with regards to affordability/price they pretty good - these guys could end up being a go to for newbies & cheapskates alike 

I bought from them. Service was way better than some of the banks on that list. Another thing is they actually have stock.

Ahh crap ok, how do I fix it in flowering stage? Is there something that helps, Google says neem oil? 

I've only had PM issues once. I was growing in a wendy, but I never tried to save plants.There are lots of posts online that indicate that the plants must be destroyed as the mold spores can be harmful to the health, even though its being burned. Maybe there is a wise person who can assist you with the answers you require.

What is PM?,

sorry I'm new to this lol

Powdery mildew, the scourge! Hows the fresh air exchange in the space?

Amnesia Haze - Day 32. This lady is a real mover and shaker. I've ordered more of these beans I can do AH only run.

Seemango - Day32. Starting to Bloom! Looks like the beginnings chemical burn though?

As always, opinions, crit and advise always welcome. Thanks for creating such a rad learning environment.

Trust me you won't be dissapointed with this strain, you can go ahead and order more seeds so long cause you gonna want more.

If you end up enjoying this take it a step further and grab Black Diamond, its insane!

Thanks for this, I'm currently putting together a shopping cart for my next 3 auto grows.

I want to thank team @Envirofarm very much for my Epic 5:2! I have started using as a foliar spray on my seed tray, so it will soak in and feed the new sprouts too. I'm cautious not to over feed my cannabis, which already has other products in the soil mix. So I am thinking, I will use the Epic 5:2 on my veggies. I am fantasizing about healthy vegging and fruiting plants giving me a great harvest. I will journal my veggie grow with my cannabis grow.

That was nice and fast from Announcement to delivered.

Sweet. Thank you, I'll send a website enquiry. 

When are you dudes getting the 6" clip on fans again?

Thanks guys, came close to giving up but hopefully its all relatively smooth sailing from here

Never surrender! Learn from this experience, and use this knowledge for the next run! Finish this run strong and you will be rewarded!

That plant on the left looks like it has Cal Mag deficiency. 

Stellar job getting them back in the game though mate. Well done! i hope your luck turns for the rest of the run!

Holy moly! The canopy is saxxy!

Aaah yeah! Nice one winners! 

Auto's, what a strange game. Some respond well to the manipulation, while others are really slow out of the gates.  

Amnesia Haze - Day 25. Responds well to the manipulation.

Stardawg - Day 25. Not liking the manipulation that much. 

Do-si-Doh - day 25 also not liking the yoga to much.

Opinion/Crit/Advice always welcome.

Personal opinion: I started the LST to soon, and was probably to aggressive on the laaities.

Good luck.

Only found it at GT Hydro. 50L for R349

That price is madness. The raw materials for these blends is less than R70. 

Small update here. I've decided to use LST for this grow, maybe a little earlier than the vast majority of the info online recommends. Let us see how this pans out.

Stardawg - Day 17

Amnesia Haze - Day 17 ( i think this will need to be redone, there are issues with direction here)

@felix2000My second one, got an older one I'm waiting to grow bit more before I top the one side and FIM the other just for the f%&k of it

Sounds like a rad experiment, @Psylecta! are you doing a grow diary where we can follow you progress?  

After doing some searching, the answer to whether this practice is beneficial or not is clear as mud.  While i do not deny any person their beliefs, this practice is not something i would consider following. If you do a search you only come up with gardening pages, which brings me to my comment about commercial farmers. Surely, if there are measurable benefits to be gained by using this practice, ALL commercial farmers would be looking to take advantage. After all, marginal gains can really boost profitability when you are planting 50 hectares at a time. Anyway, this is  my opinion based on the searches i did in a short amount of time. My personality type requires facts, and there seems to be piles on piles of Woo-Woo pertaining to this subject.

I tried conceptualizing a trial protocol to test this theory, but there are far to many vectors which can affect the outcome on a small scale trial. Genetics, media variances, environmental conditions and of course, you have to run the trails over different periods and it is impossible to have a control.

In closing, you need to do what makes you happy! 

PEAS!
