Well I went ahead and bought myself the Earth Juice line since somewhere along the line I switched to organic. I've heard good things from seasoned growers, and most of them seem to think that EJ is the best bottled organic nutrients out there.Idk one way or another but so far, I like what I'm seeing. The grow formula is thicker than all hell. It might as well be liquefied poop lol. It stinks, but it has a sweetness to it that makes it nice to me. Not recommended for those who don't like stinky, dirty things...
I also transplanted the mexi plants I had an stuck them in the flowering room to give the Plushberrys a little more space.
I'm hatching a plan to get a bunch of free nutrient samples. If it works I'll share the info. Other than that, not much to report on, but here an update anyways.
Sara
Sara is quickly becoming my favorite plant of the bunch. The bud growth on her is pretty impressive considering I've given these plants nothing fancy. They're grown in Miracle Grow Organic Choice mix with some $4, off-brand organic composted chicken manure (4-3-2) that I bought from Lowe's called
ZOOM!. I watered them with pure tap water and steer manure tea and almost no other fertilizer until just a few days ago. All that considering, I think they're doing fabulously. Especially her.
The lower buds are starting to stack bracts and grow around the entire stem instead of growing straight up like a normal bud. I absolutely LOVE how this strain is growing especially the platinum white/silver hairs. And despite the way the leaves look, it's been a breeze to grow. I especially like how the bugs don't seem to like them. The top cola is fat and odorous. I'm bad with smells so I'll just say that it smells BOMB. lol Man, if I had vegged her, she'd be a monster no doubt.
Edmonda
Eddie's doing her thing, being busy being pregnant. Not much else she can do really. The smell aren't as pronounced on her as the others and I'm sure she isn't gonna grow another damn inch either. I'm guessing terpine oils are on the back burner now that she concentrating on producing seeds.
I'm treating her as good as the plants that weren't pollinated, meaning that I'm not neglecting her. I want to make sure the seeds I get are healthy and viable. I'd fill a whole growroom full of her if I could!

This plant has a lot of the same qualities that Sara has, except that it has smaller buds, but it's even easier to grow. She's not as picky with the pH and the medium but she still would've probably done better in a rich organic medium. They all seem pretty easy to clone since I did them about the laziest way possible and they're still alive mostly, and some have even rooted. For as bad as I neglected them, it's amazing. I'm guessing that this strain is a breeze to clone in veg.
Plushberry
They aren't as big as the mexi's started the same day, but they're a lot prettier. The one with the burnt leaf came out of the shell weird. It's a symmetrical plant with tight internodes and a low profile that eventually, I'm gonna top for 4 colas. I'm a little worried because I've heard that some expressions of this strain are bunk but I'm pretty sure it's all bullshit. 99% of the stuff I heard is good so I'm not too worried about it. I gave them a small dose (like 1/4 strength or less) of some Earth Juice and I'll be giving them their first manure tea next time I water them. I took pictures with the flash off because they're just so damn cute.

These seeds were just sitting around waiting to get used, so I threw them in now to add a little weight to the harvest. Weed is weed, and when you're dry and out of money, you'll take it. Plus regs are popular around here and if worse came to worse, I could just sell it or make it into hash. I fimmed them all this morning cause I want to put them in individual vert scrogs eventually.
Something like this:
I was gonna do this to all the plants but the SSH didn't end up branching all that much w/o veg period. I'm gonna do it to the plushberrys too.
I keep them in the flower room for 12 hours to give the plushberrys as much light to themselves as possible.The rest of the time I just keep the under incandescents so the don't flower. I want them to get about 10"-12" tall before I flower them.
Beanz
.. and that cat idea is great, but remember if you get one not to put the plants on a skinny ledge or weak stool, cats like to smell errthing ... and well lets just say i lost a plant that way. almost slung the fucker from a catapult. but they do make rats go away lol and at first you might get a lot of half dead twitching presents left around ass well
