Hello Rekap it's really nice to see how she has come on since you first posted that pic of her in the window sill

She's looking good all bushy and healthly

Sorry I can't tell you anything about the "Cactus juice" ? ............I haven't a clue

Tying down is very simple...and Bonita could really use it. Just gently pull back the fan leaves on each level and gently tuck and tie them down. I used a piece of coat hanger wire and bent each end, then attached it to the pot, across the top of the dirt. That gives you an anchor to tie the pipe cleaners to. It should take just a few minutes.

Getting light on those secondaries will make a huge difference in yield.

Here's a quick pic of a freshly tied plant...

thanks 9, i think ill give it a try in the morning...pipe cleaner? im not really following what that is...

Remember from elementary school? They are about 10" long pieces of wire with a fuzzy coating and a lot of teachers use them for craft projects. They are meant for cleaning pipes and, well, tying down pot leaves.

thanks 9 for the detail... if i remember right you used cactus juice for flowering...how often did you water with it?

Lemme think...I'm at Day 68 of flowering...I repotted just after switching (I should have repotted two days before going to flower). I used good new soil, so I could have waited up to three weeks before the first nute in flower, but gave a VERY diluted shot of cactus juice around flower day 7.

Then it was 1/2 strength Cactus Juice every other watering (they get 2 liters every third day, so it was 1/2 strength nutes every 6 days). I've read that Schultz Cactus Juice is recommended at full strength once a week, but it burns pretty easy and I've only used it at 1/2 strength.

Flower Day 56 was the last nute they got. So they were fed during flower 7 times.

I think I did okay with this. The last of the remaining fan leaves are just now being used up for their nutrients and the trichs are 25% clear and 75% cloudy, so they should be finishing in a week or so.
