Greeting all.

My first journal and post. Advice and comments welcome.

I'm trying a kick at the can with organics. Starting with a soiless mix of 40% coco, 40% perlite and 20% vermeculite using Botanicare for fert. I have one 400w MH and a couple cfl's. The temp hovers around 24C/75F and I keep my soil ph around 6.3.

I vegged for 8 weeks and now they're at day 19 of flowering. A liitle long on the veg this time and if I'd do it over again I would have cropped them all. The jilly bean took to it really well, the purp stretched a little.

So of the 5 plants I have 3 purps and 2 jilly's. The tallest one (Jilly Bean) is 4'.

One of the purps mutated early turning itself into a wonderful little bush. Although it does have the least amount of bud currently.

All plants had their share of thrip early on. At least that's what I'm blaming this damage on. Unless someone else tells me it's fungus or some shit.

All this being said I think it's going alright so far. 6 more weeks until the first one comes down I figure.

I'll keep you guys posted.

All seems to be going well. A few leaves are starting to drop on the lower branches. The buds are growing rapidly now. Another 4-5 weeks should do er. Had to so a little extra odor control yesterday. It's super fruity in there.

Burnt my bald head on the 400w too. Those things are fucking hot dudes.

I also moved the room around a little. Made me take notice of this beauty Purps bud. None of the indoors have turned out purple yet, but I have one outside that is. I'll throw a pic on here when I get a chance.

Givershit.... what was the germination like for you for the TGA seeds? And out of how many you started with turned out to be female plants?

Really interested in knowing. Thanks
