wow, I haven't posted a grow journal in a while. so many things change in life, hopefully i'll see some old friends this go around.
let me tell you what I got going here for this grow. I am now using a grow tent4x8x8 but Iam only using half of it to grow. I have a
Solis-Tek Matrix digital ballast with a remote... let me tell you, it is the best on the market. you save over 100 bucks just on the timer it uses. i'm using a Genesis MH bulb1000 watts and Genesis HPS 1000 watt for flower. the light is air cooled, roof mounted circular fan and
a variation of subcool's supersoil to matchup with my desert needs... during the day the temps stay around 75 and 64 at night and 55% humidity during day and 37 % RH at night
I have seven plants going right now. everything is healthy... no problems what so ever with the VEG phase of about 4 weeks they are now
just coming out of pre flower in BLOOM phase... that's where we are at right now....

I let the soil cook for like a month and a half or more I think, but the noobie plants from seedlings , just about all burned a tad when I first transplanted them over, but they jumped back, and I checked the BRIX reading and they were at 17 on the chart eye piece thingy.

and the tall bush on the left of the grow...turned male on me... rest in peace.

this plant was such a trooper... but in the sensi world, you got to do what you got to do...

these are just some random pics of buds coming in. everything looks good, there is no use of pesticides, no artificial anything.

when it comes to watering the plants ... I use just regular tap water. I don't test for PH, I don't test for PPM. and I haven't tested the run-off of the plants water. the only thing I do is, store the tap water for a couple of day's to gas off any chlorine that is present.
and I have planned three compost tea re-mineralization root/soil drenches for the whole grow cycle. One right before going into flower, and one for right after pre- flower in Bloom cycle, and the third and final root/soil drench is at the end of week five in bloom cycle.
( note ) ... I did foliar feed once before going into bloom cycle. with the compost tea, with added vitamins B etc. etc.

thank you... and yes, bring on the cola's!!!

 

[mangosnapper]

Subbed. My liberty looks like the same pheno as one of yours.

I got the seeds from Barney's Farm, of course. but I used these lil coco pots for germinating and seedling growth, the package say's bury the lil coco and every thing will be fine, the main differences you see in the plants is because of that...terrible, I'll never use them again!!!

 

[mangosnapper]

just soaking up some light and growing buds...it's a good life!!!

I've got the shorter-stocky pheno, I think. It responds really well to topping also. I love the look of it, seems to be a very vigorous strain. Can't wait to see what your buds end up like.

Ive pretty much left them alone as far as topping goes, this is the first time growing liberty haze , so I wanted to see it grow naturally.
I did top a couple of plants to get a spread, and I have supercropped a couple of times to even out the height differential. But iam very anxious to see how this turns out as well. Barney's say's it comes in @ 25% THC in perfect growing environments, and I got it at 99% of that right now....so, fingers crossed!!! .... cheers mate!!!
