Thank you!! my companion / different soils are really showing so far the ones with the compost are bigger than the sister in the fox farm soil which I find amazing. I was told in the beginning that my compost mixture wasn’t good enough for my ladies. and I have clearly proved that wrong!

Hey @se7en, yes kind of so what i did was i went to a local place where they sell compost, and my friend hooked me up with some. I added my own to it and then when I was plating my ladies I added in some happy frog nutrient that way it had some added love to the mix. then I started using more nutrients last month with a tea of the happy frog and then this week with a couple that I have NEVER used before but heard only good things about ill get the names of those later.
I did have an unfortune issue with my cherry truffles they had been ripped them from the buckets they were in he tried to kill them because they “were his” However like any good mother I saved my babies and nursed them back… They are not out of the woods yet this happened yesterday. I added cinnamon to the roots and a lot of it to make sure that it survives. also added honey to the broken branches. and the branches that stripped the stem. after they were shocked, they were out of their home for about 5 mins before I sprung int o action on crutches lmao it was a site. however today they are looking beautiful !!! besides like 3 branches broken off and one side looking naked I probably could have saved the branches i just was mad and didnt think i could so i cute them n put honey on the wound. Ill add pics and show the progress of that… oy what a day!!

@apple Noooo way wait who tried to rip them up from the buckets?? I’m really sorry about that! And I’m sure you’ll get them back to good health in no time! I have all the faith in you 
As for the soil, that’s amazing! Good job 
so did you amend it so as they grow they grow into the FFOF? Saves using some nutrients down the line that way I’d imagine

@Se7en Soo my boyfriend who well now EX but anyway he broke up with me yesterday and the plants were ours but seeing how I put everything into them, and they were like kids in a divorce basically. So, the Cherry Truffes where for him or his fav. blah blah lol. I told him not to touch my plants and he said they were his. Like any mother watching their child get hurt i went to help them lol. However, the knowledge I have of these ladies is far more than his I am the one with the green thumbs and the reason they look so good.
As far as the soil no it was just the compost with nutrients throughout the layers of soil and well mixed in as I water, they are slowly released. I have also added the FF nutrients a while ago i did a tea with a gallon of water each. The other nutrients are the Fox Farm- Tiger Bloom Big Bloom and Grow Big. I used them the other night and will prob give the mix once a week depending on how they look.
My biggest concern right now is if I should give them move water because it’s going to be 90s all week and it has been that hot before, but I am unsure if I should help them by giving more water. I give a gallon a plant every other day. I might do every day any ideas?

@apple bkess you I’m so sorry to hear he was being like that! And I’m sorry you’re going through a breakup! Recently been going through the same thing myself. Mrs packed her stuff took the boys and left and left me with our daughter 
So just me and my little girl now which tbh I’m not complaining about 
I hope you’re okay though! You deserve better than that! And yeah I reckon he would have murdered them if he’d have taken them with him, or he’d be calling the next few days asking you what to do with them cos he doesn’t know 
Ahhh I get ya that’s awesome!!! I may even try that myself soon, always up for trying new stuff to get better plants! Yeah I think the hotter it is the more they would drink, depending how far they are, my last one in flower was being watered every day where we have 30-40C heat for a couple weeks, it’s coming back again as well this week and next so I’ll probably be doing the same as you and watering a little more

The main thing to remember is. They’ll let you know if they need it, lift the pot if it feels really light and the top inch of the soil is dry then water again you don’t want to over water being over worried about them (I’ve done this many times). Can risk root rot that way, but I’m almost certain there will be days she wants watering at the end of every day when it’s really hot

Hey thanks @Se7en yea it sucks but honestly im better off. I have goals and I was being held back which is silly. Im sorry your going through that as well but at least you have your little with you! I am very happy and proud of myself for saving the cherry truffles. I’m in New England and we have had such hot weather its gross, but my ladies have been good with letting me know that they need water. I think when it is in the high 90s i might start giving them a gallon and a half. I have started added nutrients last week and prob going to give them to the girls once a week. I took pics of the truffles. The biggest one looked sad but once I gave her some water, she perked right back up which I am so happy and thankful for that.
This here I believe is the smaller of the two. She looks so good I think. picture is today.
This is the big one and the two of her branches were broken off and i mended them with some honey.
this is the big truffle today.9
This is when she was wicked hot so I gave her some water and boom baby!! Shes looking sooo good.
Also with the heavy rains we have been having here for a couple days I have had them under a easy up and kind of made them a hut with airflow. I put my marigolds in between to help deter any pest which so far so good. fingers crossed this keeps working. i have sprayed with CJDB which I love and swear by it. I am going to get some DE soon so that just in case I need them, and I have about 1500 lady bugs (I got that many because of all of my plants).

@apple bless you good for you! Atleast
You can now focus on yourself and your goals and not worry about being held back! You deserve it yeahhh my little girl is my world and my rock, more than happy to have her with me she’ll always keep me going
Wowwww they’re looking amazing! Wouldn’t even tell anything was ever wrong with them! Well done you’re smashing it! Yeah I agree, we’ve been having stupid hot weather here too and I’ve really not been enjoying it too much we have another weather warning again this week, sucks hahaha! But I do what you’re doing I just a feed a little more a little more often! Also, lady bugs for pest control are AMAZING!!! I love watching them go to town on spider mites and stuff all natural too! 
I do need to get some of that CJDB myself, have just been using castile soap or Neem Oil where needed, have had nothing come back on this run so far, had a few spider mites at the start, massacred them with castile soap and they haven’t returned

I like CJDB over Neem oil because you can use that up to the day of harvest, but with Neem oil you can’t use after a certain point. I also made some organic pesticide with onion, garlic and jalapeno pepper and some water. Last year I made a spray different type of spray it was also a pesticide, but it was vegetable oil, Dr. Bronner’s soap, its hemp and comes in different scents as well as no scent add some water. I did this and it basically makes it so the bugs can’t stick to the plant’s leaves. Which is interesting because the ladies are normally sticky. It worked which was great for when I needed that but there are lots of organic ways that you can keep bugs away without spending a bunch of money on buying stuff. Also, the marigolds I have been using as a companion plant have been helping with keeping the bugs away from my ladies.

Hey guys so I have some saddish news… My Ex had decided to break into my yard last night and destroy (snap my ladies) this morning at 530 am when I came out my house to leave for work, I realized my gate was open and I lock it at night. So, I checked on my plants… and they were very short!! As I got closer to them, I noticed they were all snapped in some way so out of my 10 girls I have. I had some assistance mending them back together I made splints for the broken girls and basically doctored them up. I used popsicle sticks and tape and some honey, and now the tops of them are sad AF. Leaves dropping and just super sad.
I do not know why he did this, but he is very childish and immature also he was very drunk. Not that, that should matter but I am extremely pissed off… 
So IF anyone has suggestions im all ears !!

Put them inside a dog kennel and lock it, install security camera’s, depending on what you can get away with legally, there are other thing you can do.

Hey @Dforce They are too big for a kennel. MY problem is that he was trespassing on my property and both of my gate to my yard were LOCKED he broke in. It could go press charges for destruction of property. But its not something that i feel would be taken seriously. In my state (MA) it is legal as long as they are locked up basically and there is security. I have a camera but didn’t catch him in the act fully it got lots of noise just not a good pic. That makes me so made too because he is the only one who would do something insanely crazy like destroying my hard work in order to hurt me. which didn’t it just made me mad.
To save them the best i could i used tape honey and popsicle sticks to hold the all together and straight. so far some of them were saved no we wait for the other 5 cause some looked very very bad. I did give them some nutrients it was a comeback formula. Idk if it will do much but it will possibly help… I hope!

Thanks I’m praying they do because I wasn’t the one who bandage them up it was someone who isn’t really familiar with cannabis plants or anything of this nature. I walked them through it but idk I am giving them some time to heal themselves just absolutely mind blowing. I am scared though because they were starting to flower but not like there yet. The blueberry is budding and I plan to harvest her within a couple weeks. He did not damage that one too bad…

Yes way… Such bullshit but I gave them some comeback formula and I’m praying for a miracle !! I can put some sad pictures later to see if there are any ideas possibly to help me save my ladies. I have had a couple ppl tell me it’s a lost cause which I am not accepting because I think they will heal. like this kind of damage can happen in a storm Idk I’m so hopeful next year’s grow will be different and not here. send some healing vibes my way lol… ill post pics in a bit
