After considerable consideration. I flipped Baby Buddha today.
She will be on 8 drops of Schultz 15-5-5 for 21 more days threw stretch.
Then she will be fed Schultz 2-7-7 threw flower.
I may add a very light dose of Monster Bloom 0-50-30. Maybe .125 grams pr litre.

Week 2 of flower and feeding time is super easy.
8 Drops of 15-5-5 in a 1L jug. 12 drops of PH down and the P.H is usually close enough.

I set the plant in the dish rack and run the litre of solution threw the pot.
Right not every other day is usually enough.
As you can see she is filling in nicely.

Won't be long and She will be getting 2-7-7 and a little Monster Bloom.

After growing a monster Buddha last summer I wanted to try a mini Buddha.
As my indoor setup is only 24" X 24" about 40" tall. I prefer to grow one plant at a time rather than stuff my grow space.

Light is an older Mars 300 60 LED at 24".

Soil. Recipe came from a Dr Bruce Bugbee video.
50 / 50 Vermiculite and Peat Moss.
40 Grams Dolomite lime per gallon to sweeten the Peat.
10 grams Gypsum per gallon.

Pot is a 6" nursery pot. 1/2 inch of quartz stone for drainage.

As I am always messing with Fertilizers, this grow I chose Schultz Orchid Fertilizer. 15-5-5

Currently feeding 7 drops per litre every watering 25% runoff and the plant is looking very nice.
No signs of tips burning or deficiency. Will likely flower her on Schultz Cactus 2-7-7.

As you can see. I topped her a few days ago and removed most of the upper leaves in order to let light at the bottom branches. The plant has responded exactly as planned and I have pulled down and tied the lower branches. Up until recently I have always main lined but found the videos on plant training bellow. This is the second plant I have used the 5th node technique on and I'm loving it so far. The first time was my last indoor plant, a Wedding Cake that came out super nice. She is currently tucked away curing.




The plant is just a month old. Another 30 days and she should have a nice even top. I guess time will tell.


It's been a long cold winter. Have spent a small fortune on beans since Christmas and I'm looking forward to another
Summer growing season. Pots are already loaded with my home made super deluxe living soil.

This JLF was made last spring. Cooked all summer.

Then I added all of my cannabis plant wast material and let mother nature do her thing.
I ended up with 60 litres of this milkshake thick green cannabis plant specific JLF as my main microbe food.

As I always run into weather problems with late flowering varieties I'm thinking 3 Outdoor Autos in the ground June first in 15 gallon pots. 1 plant will be a photo in a 15 gallon pot same as last year. Well guys that's all the news that is news from my back yard.

I love Schultz, been using their 20-20-20 in my outdoor vegetable gardens and in my cannabis veg tents for years! Following along

I have tinkered with several other fertilizers over the last 2 years and for the fun of it decided I'd try Schultz and see how a cannabis plant fares with it.
Baby Buddha seems to like the 15-5-5. I have the 10-15-10 as well. Will give her a snort of it between the 15-5-5 and the 2-7-7. She has a ways to go yet but I'm quite happy with the results so far.

My next grow will likely be an African black verity. I have wanted to grow a black for quite some time.
Maybe I should get off my bottom and order some seed.
Then something pretty. A pink or purple verity. I guess time will tell.

I picked up a tub of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and the flower formula 2-8-4 as well.
This will be my first attempt with Gaia Green and I'm looking forward to it.
Anyone with experience care to enlighten me. Please feel free.

A few weeks farther along. Baby Buddha is just finished week 5 of flower and I think she is looking pretty nice. It's hard to tell in the pictures.
Buds are about 1 inch wide 1 1/2 inches tall. Will take her outdoors in the sunshine. Try a and get a few better pictures on the weekend.
She is just starting to get a little sugar on her sugar leaves. Been feeding her 1/4 gram of Grotek Monster Bloom and 7 drops of Schultz Cactus
2-7-7. in a litre of water PH 6.5 + or - a point or 2.

My hibiscus plants loved the Schultz African Violet fertizler. I have 100+ year old Christmas Cactus cut from the original growth. It traveled in my car 3000 miles in a sealed Mason jar with a little water. She's been doing well and likes the cactus fertilizer. It's a pretty solid product if you're on a budget. For the price you could have a very affordable 3 part nutrient. That you have now is fine for veg., then maybe the African violet (8-14-9) for early flower and the orchid for late bloom and then just finish up with Epsom salt the week before flush. All very inexpensive options for a broad spectrum fertlizer line up. Does the orchid fertilizer have iron, zinc and manganese like their "Plus" line of nutes? If not the cactus does and might be a better option.

Yes it does.

Well my little Buddha baby is beginning to sugar up now. Over all the plant looks pretty nice and smells divine! I'm thinking 2 or 3 weeks to go.
I'm stressing her / cut way back on the nitrogen so she strips and drops her leaves. Another week and she will only get 0-50-30 no nitrogen.
Then a week just PH adjusted water. Will share some pictures of her just before I take her down.

I'm going to stop all nutrients at the end of this week. Give her one week just PH 6.5ish water. Once mid week. Then cut and hang her.
She is really looking nice. I have been sitting on a nice Pink Kush seed that I'd like to get it started.

Although I'm quite happy with the plant above. I am going to move up one pot size to an 8 inch nursery pot rather than a 6 inch pot next grow.
See if I can find an 8" that is a little deeper as well.
