New Grower Dinafem Auto Amnesia, MarsHydro Reflector grow.

I do. I'd go for the kush. Reserva Privada OG. Soil and Scrog. big pot, 5 gal. Bend it over and watch it go wild getting all straight again. What's the time on the haze? That'd be my backup plan if things didn't work out. If time was a problem then el alquimista is a short easy one, I think, and there's some journals around for it.

Thank you brother for the recommendation. I also had kind of decided to run with the El Alquimista, but it is now a moot point. My wifes condition has changed (for the better) and we will now be taking a week off for travel in mid May. Sooo now I will need a house/pet sitter to come in watch over things. I will just let my little Amnesia girls finish up and get them into jars with bovedas and clean up the grow room. Then just give it hell once we get back. I do want to try a photo and scrog so I think that will definitely be on tap as well as a red family auto I think. Its time for Sweet Seeds run!!!!
 
This is one happy happy plant!!!!!

And that's the baby. New pics to come soon and big sis is finally showing trichs and getting sticky when you give her little buds a squeeze. She hasn't even slapped me when I squeeze her.
 
So, today has been almost hot here. Outside temps in the upper 70s and my room had crept up to 86f today. I had to dig out an additional oscillating stand fan and give more circulation to the air mass. With the onset of darkness and the fan, I have managed to get the temp down to 80F already and it should just get better over night. I only took pics of Amnesia #1 this evening, since I haven't measured height on #2 and will do a photo shoot of #2 at he morning check. I have noticed that some of the bottom leaves on #1 are starting to turn yellow as well as one of the larger fan leaves further up the stem. You will notice them in the pics. I was assuming that this is just the beginning of the end for this little girl as she is beginning to progress toward end of life. The Buds are firming up, and trichom production has picked up. The Discoloration is limited to larger primary fan leaves and not spreading to other leaves. She is still receiving nutes at the following strength in 1/2 gal of rain water, BioThrive Bloom 6ml, Bio Bud 2.5ml CaMg+ 2.5ml, and molasses 4ml . She is being given between 750ml and 1L every 24hrs typically. But that can stretch to 36hr intervals depending on environmental conditions. But I must say that I am still amazed that this has gone so easily, these are definitely easy plants for a novice to grow.

OK, I know, I lied. I have not put an update here on Amnesia #2. She is doing fine and I will put a complete update here today. But I just had to pass on a tip from one of the best lessons I have learned this grow. Always, always , always, make sure the lid to your liquid fish fertilizer bottle is TIGHTLY attached BEFORE shaking. Because that is one of the more interesting smells you will ever experience, when you're wearing it, and cleaning it off the vanity and mirror and walls and etc..... WOW, that is some powerful stuff.

Since I'm sitting here, I guess I will give an update. Pics will come in a separate post later today. Amnesia #1 is still looking phenomenal. I am still in awe that I am growing this. The discoloration of the big fan leaves that I mentioned has not become any worse, but I am noticing some small rust colored spots on some of the smaller leaves. This would lead me to believe that I am at the beginning of a slight CaMg deficiency. Since I have also been experiencing some soil compaction issues, I have the following plan in progress. I will flush through the pot with clear water in 1/2 gal increments and manipulate the pot in between flushing to loosen soil. After a couple of these cycles, I will add 5ml CaMg+ to the gallon of water before the final 2 flushes. In a couple of days I will then resume the previous feeding schedule. I may also do a quick Foliar feeding with epsom salts dissolved in water for a MG boost. This should clear out the soil and help all around.
Amnesia #2 is just cruising along looking great. Buds are doing their own little thing while the plant is gaining in height daily. Took her off her bucket a few days ago, and she is quickly outgrowing the box she is sitting on now. Soon she will be on the floor,(no more high chairs for this baby), and competing straight up flat foot with #1 for all the LED she can get. I have been running a daylight spectrum CFL as side lighting for #2 and just rotating her 1/4 to 1/2 turn each time I check in on her. Same goes for #1 except that she has 2 soft white CFL's side lighting her.

Again, I would have to say that overall these have been extremely easy plants to grow. I know I was having an issue with my previous soils. So in preparation for this grow, I did some research and addressed the soil issue. I also investigated and decided upon an organic fertilizer regimen. I also realized that LED lighting is going to be the effective and efficient lighting option for the future of growing. I mean, my god, look what TaNg is doing over there. Once I had the new LED onboard, it was time to grow. I had addressed the three main things a plant needs to grow. A home, with the proper environment, and good food. If these are addressed before you even germinate a seed, then the rest is easy. These plants gave me a little grief in the very beginning, looked like mutants for weeks but soon turned into beautiful little plants that are happy and showing gratitude.

Sorry, that last reference was going to be a Steve Irwin thing but then I thought better of it. I remembered that we are a world wide group here, and I didn't want to offend anyone. Well maybe some Republicans, but where I live that's an easy task.

That's what I been sayin. I'm just feeding and watching her go. Does anyone here think there is an issue with the leaf discoloration? I flushed the soil, and she has been given a heavy feeding of CaMg+ and bloom nutrients. So I am keeping an eye on that.
