Any pics of ur full plant mate to see how bushy.

I took some a couple of days ago but will post some more shortly

Update:

Gave our girl a spray with Yates Success Ultra during today's dark period as was advised on another forum to fix my caterpillar problem. So hopefully we won't be seeing anymore critters eating my lovely plant.
Other than that there has been a bit of stretching which is good to see, however the overall development appears to be a little behind schedule. This is advertised as a 9 week, seed to harvest Auto and the plant is 8 weeks old tomorrow.
I will keep feeding it nutrients until I see the buds develop properly but I'm wondering if I have done something wrong or maybe just crappy genetics? Any thoughts would be appreciated

Also, any thoughts on defoliation at this time would be awesome
(looking at you Beast lol)

Five she is a beauty mate top job. And maybe lst was applied or topping slightly at the wrong time. But all autos will react diffrently to topping and training its genetic.and that varys to each and every plant u fould grow that same bean again the same way and see better or worse results.all fun and games mateShe may not stretch much more but that aint a bad thing. A small plant can yield just as much as a tall plant if not more and snip away those fan leafs blocking good budsites mate.get the most out of the plant.perfect job so far keep it up.happy growing

Thanks Beast.
You might be right about the timing thing. I also forgot I broke off one of the main branches very early on which has probably stressed and stunted her growth.
Loving your Goliath grow mate, top shit!

Just started germinating 2 more seeds too, so should have another journal starting soon

Update:

8 weeks old now and still going strong. It has been almost a weeks since I have seen any signs of anymore grubs so very happy with the results from the Yates Success spray.
I have also now run out of Ryzotonic and have switched to using Seasol instead. For those who don't know this product, it is basically the same as Ryzotonic (smells the same too) but many growers claim it does a better job. It is used for all plants in all mediums and works an absolute treat on everything. I even use it on the lawn and she now looks gorgeous!
I highly advise this product for those who can get it however it is Australian made and owned so not sure if they export. I used it in my last grow and saw insane differences in root development from previous grows so I know it's good stuff. Plus, WAY cheaper than Ryzotonic!! about AU$6 per 1L, not AU$25 for 250ml like Ryzotonic.

Anyways, starting to see some amber pistils and buds fattening up a bit which is always nice. So all in all we're still on track and looks like harvest should be around 2-3 weeks away, only slightly going over the advertised time.

Started a new grow and another journal to go with it so please check it out and let me know what you think guys!!

Looks good dude. I wont get that much from this one in the small space I have but still should be at least an ounce I'm hoping

Always been hesitant on the seasol but might have to give it a crack now cheers 5

100% go for it mate. Just the plain white bottle Seasol, not the powerfeed or any of the other stuff. Powerfeed does work great in the garden on vege plants but not sure about cannabis even in soil. I know only the normal Seasol is good for coco but can 110% recommend it!!

Sweet man mines in coco ATM I'll grab some tomorrow

Nice one. About 2-4ml/L throughout the whole grow seems to be the popular recommendation and worked well for me

Update:

Now 9 weeks old and still a couple of weeks to go in my opinion.
All in all still looking good though. Starting to get a lot of nice trich production and pistils are about 50% amber now. Will start taking some microscope pics to check trich colour from this week and will post for you guys to have a look. Everyone likes trich porn

Looking sweet mate good job

Looking sweet mate good job

Thanks Beast!

 

[FiveToMidnight]

Update:

At 10 weeks now and from the looks of the trichs I think I will start the flush this Friday. That way they should have 7 days of flushing with harvest on day 8.
Buds appear to be fattening up nicely but other than that there isn't much to tell, all seems good
