You'll wake up one day soon ed, and say, "did someone switch my plants, look how fat the buds are." :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Then the drooling begins. :D

Thanks Macky.

I haven't seen anything on the back of any of the leaves I have trimmed, probably close to 200 now. No eggs. I didn't see it close enough or long enough to tell if it was a white fly. I only saw 1 in the tent. Hopefully got them before they got out of control.

Day #55, Flip Day #13

Light pots all around for plain water day. Water came out of the tap at 5.8, so close enough for my hearty sacred botanicals . The girls are now consuming 3 quarts vs 2 over 48 hours . Had to trim another 50 or so top leaves and another 8 runners from the bottom. When they grow madly, don't you love them madly? Still, you can't tell they've been trimmed by looking, it's a jungle in there. The girls next watering will include another dose of Open Sesame, their 2nd and likely their last. November 30 they're due to switch to Beastie Bloomz.

Below is a shot of Winona's wild runner recovering nicely, arrows indicating bud spots that should now get quite a bit more light .

Not pictured but also recovering nicely and in similar fashion is Winterrose's cola. She's in the sweet spot and seems to be enjoying it immensely

Hoi Good Sir Macky.

Yes, I am using Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil. I was fertilizing with a product from Home Depot called Dr. Earth. I started with that about 3 weeks in at about 70% strength and then on advice from the 420magazine.com forum, I quickly switched to 100% strength. It seemed to work just fine, but I am thinking of trying Fox Farms Marine Cuisine fertilizer for the next veg growth :mrgreen: based on how satisfied I am with Open Sesame.

The other two Fox Farms flower fertilizers are Open Sesame for early bud, and Beastie Bloomz for mid bud development. Yesterday was the girls last Open Sesame dose (1x per week). It seems to be doing an amazing job, I can't wait to see wait Beastie Bloomz does next. :mrgreen: I bought a small 3 pack, 6 oz. each. I am growing 4 plants and anticipating a 10 week flower period. I used up 70% of the 6 oz. Open Sesame container. Now that I know it works, next time I will go for the larger containers and save some $$.
