Also, Temps are actually a lot higher (29.5*c) than what's shown in the pic (23.5*c).
It just dropped so low because the door's open and it's 5*c tonight.

I was given a firm date of when I can move into my new house. 2 weeks from tomorrow.
Unless it explodes in size over the next week I'll wait until I'm in my new house to switch to 12/12.

50 days of work so far... I really hope it's female...

I'm mixing up some seaweed solution tonight to feed it tomorrow.

I might have to re-think the screen I'm using, it's starting to pull the sides in and doesn't really hold it down to well now the stems have gotten a bit more woody.
Gave it another drink of seaweed mix.

I learnt a ScrOG lesson today.
Don't tuck a branch until it's long enough to tuck under the next string to the stem.
It just flipped itself back up over night. I'll try again in a couple of days. IMG_1533.JPGIMG_1534.JPG

Plain water given tonight, this nutrient I'm using is giving me the shits. It's had no more than 250ppm every 3rd watering and I'm still getting nute burn.
There's no expiration date on it but it is near 10 years old, I was being optimistic and hoping I didn't have to buy any more this time round.
I'm looking into the General Hydroponics 3 Part system because it's the cheapest by volume and a lot of people seem to find it runs far less hot than most other nute systems.
Anyone that's reading here use it? Thoughts?

For my grow, I went with a General Organics assortment box (a GO box), of which I used a half dose of BioBloom, BioBud, CaMg+ (to treat a specific Cal deficiency) and Bio Marine (all of which are the recommended feed for each week of flower), and they ended up with slight burn after the first feeding. The next week (2 days ago) I gave them almost the same hit, except I left out Bio Marine and added a little Bio Root (I pulled the male so I figured the surviving 2 could use some help rooting into it's place). They didn't burn any further on the second feeding, so I guess they either grew into it or they just don't like the Bio Marine (which I won't be using anymore, anyway).
That's all the nute experience I have. In short, I would tell you General Hydro is a great company to go with, so don't be afraid to give them a shot (at no more than half the recommended dosage, mind you!) I'm super stoked to see your baby taking to it's home, though. I'm still watching, and I'm on the bench if other issues arise - you don't have to go it alone with so many people behind you =)

Can't wait to see it bud =p

It's been a massive day for me here, I almost forgot to check on things.
Temps slightly high but I've got the fire roaring tonight to keep the near zero temps outside that surprised the hell out of me after the warm sunny day we had today.
Less than a week and a half to go now before the move.

Thanks mate! I think I'm set on GenHyd 3 parter, just price is all and I don't want to throw a bunch of additives in the mix for such a small grow unless I run into trouble like your cal mag deficiency.
I might throw a bit of raw sugar or molasses in the mix for some cheap carbs, other than that if I can make do with just a quality nutrient mix I'll be happy with whatever it pumps out at the end.

For now I'm just worried about moving it in one piece, it's got a hell of a trip ahead of it.

I gave it some water and another trim.
Also my internet will be turned off any day now in preparation for moving house.
As I said before, if I go silent the journal isn't dead, just on pause until I get my net back on.
When I return there will be updates for any days I've missed.
