Thanks Bunny, glad your along for the ride.
Hi Wile e good to see you here and thanks for the sub don't worry about bring popcorn I make it fresh everyday! Help yourselfexcellent design welcome back to growing subbed up from here on oh and a nicefor the cab and light
Loving it bro is the hydro pk from the pound shop as I 6 bottles of that the grow and the bloom
Growing great broView attachment 590132 View attachment 590133 View attachment 590134 View attachment 590135 View attachment 590136 View attachment 590137
I didn't feed my seedling for 13 days and relied on the nutrients contained in the cotyledons, this was an experimental move to try and reduce lush growth by feeding high nitrogen ferts too soon , as I wanted to try and keep her small as I only have a limited amount of space.
After 13 day had passed I noticed there was definite N def and the leaves were starting to look pale.
I started feeding @ 1,1EC and @ 5.6 PH, I grow in Canna Coco Pro 80% with Perlite 20% I also started foliar spraying with the same strength nutes as I feed with.
She responed well to this feeding regime and soon started to get back to normal green colour.
I have now raised the EC to 1.3 EC and the PH to PH 5.8.
She continuing to grow but remains diminutive/petite but is putting on growth & and height albeit with very tight internode spacing.
Amnesia Stone is know for growing fairly tall so the challenge is to keep her controlled and where ever possible of a relatively small stature.
I'm still not sure entirely how I'm gonna grow her but lst training techniques will come in to play at some point but if she remains small then i may not need to to fim or top.
Today I noticed her first pistil although I wa hard to see properly, I keep checking over the next few days.
One of the methods I employ when growing in my full sized cab is a method called "Stunting" maybe not the best name for a grow technique but it works great.
The only point where it actually stunts growth is in the stretch phaze, this keeps the plants small and stocky but they have fantastic buds, the plants in fact almost totally bud.
The method is to transplant the plant which have been grown in 1liter pots until first signs of sex (pistils) they are then transplanted to 7.5 liter pots.
So the 1 liter pots keep growth restricted in veg and the trans plantation to the larger 7.5 liter pots at sex causes transplant shock right at the moment when Stretch is about to take place.
So whilst the plant is taking care of the transplant shock it doesn't stretch
Another technique which I use at the same time is 24 hr constant temps, I simply do this by 24/7 light. No dark period means no temp fluctuation.
This technique can also be used with a 18/6 light/dark grow or in fact any lighting regime by simply heating the space thermostatically in the dark period.
Why does constant temps help? Well when the lights go off the temps drop. The greater the difference between light on and lights off the greater amount of stretch you will get!
Constant temps mean less stretch.
I am growing much smaller but the techniques remain the same, seeing as I'm in a right tight grow space, I'm not sure if I'm goon go to a bigger pot or not.
If I stay in the small pot I may just shock the roots gently to stop stretch or I may think sod it and go to a larger pot.
This is the first time I have ever grown so small, so even though I can use familiar techniques if I need to keep her small/stocky I may find I push to hard one way or another.
Once I have grown in this cab a few time I'm sure I could get it dialled in nicely.
Everyday is an adventure and a journey where I not sure how it will end, will I get it spot on ?? It could go either way maybe I grow her too small , maybe she will get to big, we will see and I will have to cut my cloth accordingly.
Thanks for stopping by

Haha you know it brother and it does a great job, I only use the PK boost as I have a load of Powder Feeding sent to me from when I was on another forum.
That they do I'm going to use canna pk on one plant and hydro pk on the other see if I can see a big difference that cob is super bright if it washes out pics I think ull do well in the cab bro
Awesome I love a good side by side comparison and look forward to seeing the results, I'm crossing my fingers for the Hydro coco PK as it is cheap as chips.
Nice setup i like the micro grows.
Plants looking good bro. I wish you a good grow and much fun.View attachment 590132 View attachment 590133 View attachment 590134 View attachment 590135 View attachment 590136 View attachment 590137
