Now that I'm entering the home stretch of around 1 month left, I've been looking back on my mistakes this grow and what I will do different next time. First of all, I will veg a bit less, stick with 16 primary bud sites per plant rather than 20-30, and train more since I will have more space to work with. The buds that have light damage on their top most leaves are all 16-18 inches from the light, and two strains are showing damage at that distance. The buds at 20 inches look perfect, so next time I'll shoot for that final distance and see if I can avoid leaf damage. My second problem was a bit of tip burn and some nitrogen claw that happened right after I ran out of my old brand of soy hydrolysate (gs plant foods) and switched to a new brand (DTE Agmino.) What I realized is, the agmino is vastly more water soluble than the GS plant foods, it just instantly dissolves in water-amazing stuff really. The problem is, the agmino is much more bioavailable, so I ended up overdosing my plants with nitrogen, though really just the Old Red Sour is showing it much. I'm pretty happy with my modified Jack's 321 ratio (modified due to high calcium content of my tap water). For 4 gallons of water with a starting ppm of 140 (500 scale) I'm adding 8g part a, 2 g MKP, 3g Epsom and then 4 grams Calnit, this is during Bloom. During Veg I pretty much did equal parts. That bloom mix ends up being about 1.1 ec, which then goes up slightly with about 10 ml seaweed extract, 4 ml Mr Fulvic. Lastly, I've dosed them with 1 aspirin per gallon once every two weeks since 12/12 flip. Judging from my trichome coverage on the Petrol Skunk clone that I've grown before, I believe this
might be having a positive effect in that area. Either way, it certainly hasn't hurt anything.

Blue D#5-Showing some of that Blueberry ancestry-incredible OG terps just keep getting better. Karma's Biker Kush gets a lot of credit (for good reason) but I think his Josh D OG should get some too. I feel like the name is the only thing that held it back, Karma should have done that strain on his own and not involved Josh D in any way.

Old Red Sour-She's smelling really sour! And getting those nice genetic foxtails:

Looking back on pics from last time, she's much frostier at this stage of growth-

White Widow-completely lost the peach smell! Like it never existed in the first place....maybe it didn't exist...Honestly, she won't yield much but she's got some rock hard little nuggies and I bet will be killer smoke.
