Growing an "Eldorado" Outdoors.

Day 59

I have been pondering, back, and forth when to top this plant. She is growing bigger every day, so now is the time, or she will be all up in my light, if I don't do it now. It is probable that I will need to top her a few more times, just so that she will fit in her grow area.
So here is a before, and after, of her topping. The fiskers show where she will be cut, and after the topping.

She is looking fantastic. This looks like being a great grow. I wish we had your sunshine in Bonnie Scotland...

hey there
Just noticed your comment about cropping the pics. Instead of cropping them try just reducing their actual size. What software are you using to crop them?

Thanks Greany

I wish you could have these nice sunny day's over there too.

Right now I'm moving her back, and forth, taking full advantage of these sunny day's, and putting her back inside, and under the light to get the full 18 hours, for her. California sun is great for growing, and I'm thankful to be living here. I would love to see your part of the world, and to travel thru there someday.

Day 61

She really loves her new light, and me as~well. I do believe that I picked a good one. You should see her under it, her leafs stand right up, and she is growing so fast.

Day 64

Back inside for part of her 18 hours of light. Next to little sis, which is safely placed in far corner of grow area, for a few more days. Then I can start bringing her up higher, toward the light more.

Bloom Week 1

This plant has grown to 27 in.'s tall, and has a leaf span of 24 in.'s across, from tip, to tip. I have put her to Bloom, and started her on a 12/12 lighting schedule, as of yesterday. I have done no trimming, and only 1 femming, and 1 topping, so far.

She got her first feeding of Bloom nutes yesterday, also. 2 tsp.'s of fox farms Tiger Bloom (2-8-4), in 16 fluid oz's of bubbled water. Her next feeding will also include, a tsp. of F.F. Big Bloom (0.01-0.3-0.7), also added to 16 fluid oz.'s of air Bubbled water, from a fish tank air pump for 24 hours prior to feeding.

I will present more photo's of her, in a few day's as downloading my pictures daily has created to many folders in my photo storage area.

Hey, this is so cool, she is already showing sign's of flowering. I just was out in the grow room, taking measurements, and was surprised to see those white pistols, starting to form already, Wow I am so excited. This is a feminized seed from Nirvana, and I can hardly wait to taste her, when she's done. Man she has grown hugh, in the past 2 weeks, and I credit that to moving her back, and forth from direct sunlight, to led light, maximizing a full 12 hours of prime light, for her.

Bloom Week 3

As stated in my other plants journal.

Today I released Beneficial Nematodes into my containers to control all pests that can dwell in my plants soil. Mainly soil gnats and white flies. There is another product I have been using called, Mosquito Bits, that came in a shake~out plastic bottle for the same purpose. That product worked pretty good, but decided to use live Nematodes instead this time around.

I do not want soil gnats stuck in my finished buds, Yuk. So this will keep them from reproducing in my containers. What will happen will be that they get released and find the larva of any pests in the soil and attack, eat and then move on to the next victim. ha ha.

This is a great thread. Good work Blazd. Your plants look real healthy. Loving the picture of the mountain lion. Makes my problems with the neighbourhood cats seem pretty tame ;-)
