Started out with an aggressive regiment at the seedling phase one month ago today. We had 8 seedlings, and now we're down to the final five contestants. The fifth is in the back right, and not growing as fast as I'd like her to, but she's waiting for a new home with someone who -isn't- trying to bloom.

The three on the right, including the one that's getting adopted, are Smurfberries. The two on the left are Syrup [in the back] and Red Dwarf. Quasar was only up to her second node, and hadn't even really started showing her sex yet. We're 4 weeks in, and 4 weeks from harvest; I don't have time anymore to nurse ailing plants back to health. She didn't want to grow? I cut her at the base and she's getting pressed in a book to hang up on my wall as decoration.

We just started using a compost tea of Peruvian Sea Bird guano, Mexican Bat Guano, and a good handful of Worm Castings. We cooked it at a low heat [about 100*, where most bacteria thrive] for an hour in two gallons of water. We also mixed in a nice amount of raw molasses to help give the plants a shot of carbohydrates.

Had to get an ozone generator; the smell was incredible.

We're entering the blooming stage relatively quickly here, so I've begun switching out the bulbs to a bloom bulb, as well as making sure there's the right mix of nutrients for the plants to thrive. Here's hoping everything works out!
LuckyThief86 Reviewed by LuckyThief86 on . 2nd Indoor Grow with Auto Strains So I germinated some seeds on the 22nd after my kitty broke in to the grow room and hoggishly ate everything. I'm growing four different strains; Buddha Seeds Red Dwarf, Quasar, and Syrup, and Sagarmatha Seeds Smurfberry. I planted five smurfberries, and one each of the rest. One seed of Smurfberry did not germinate, and one seed, which I've named Smurfette, is intensely sick and not growing any leaves at all. At this point, I've given up on Smurfette. *sad face* So far, Syrup, who I've Rating: 5
