You'll get 'em to the finish line. You obviously have some skill with plants. They're looking fantastic.

Another week gone by, and the ladies are looking happy and healthy.  They're roughly a month old now, and so I decided to give them a first proper feed. The Clover MPC really is a very good soil, it has grown the plants this far with no user input other than watering and a bit of seaweed.

I fed them 0.5m/l of Fishmix and will see how they respond.

 

Cream Mandarine.

I feel like I'm repeating myself in saying they look fantastic, but they really do!

 

I haven't tried Clover MPC – maybe I should look out for some.

The Clover comes recommended by various growers on these forums, I've never used it myself either, but I certainly will again. I couldn't find any at my local garden centre so ordered from the big river site. A little pricey though.

All the best :yep:

Looking sweet mate :yep:   

 I always  find the CC is slow to get going but it does speed up later ,  just make sure you get them down early as it is an instant eye closer Zzzzz if its left to cook.

 

the Mandy i find is always a busy plant, always changing , colours shine through later ,  cook it out a tad longer and its awesome :)

Those Sweets girls look pukka mate :yep:    Their plants just seem to be very uniform and year after year they have performed for me with little to no dramas and as much as i hate them for not shipping direct  (  end of line beans  & specials i cant buy anywhere other than direct )  i have to give them credit on solid outdoor plants for our wonderful short summer lol     

 

Keep the updates & great work coming mate

I'm really pleased with everything at the moment. The tallest one, Cream Mandarine is really starting to take off. Shes a strong plant and doesn't stop changing and growing. She smells lovely too.

The two smaller Cream Caramel aren't as vigorous, but I have a feeling they'll get going quicker over the next few weeks.  These two also have a nice smell.

Been watering/feeding every other day and they seem to love it.  As a bonus we got some lovely weather too :yep:

Looking great mate. You're in for a treat with these! Another fan of the Cream Mandarine here, chunky good looking and smelling buds indoors with a moreish woody orange taste. Very potent too. My fave auto to date. I enjoyed CC too, just not as much.  I've used clover for years it's great stuff, but now my local has stopped stocking it! Will have a gander online for it :yep:

 

All the best

@Openairbud yeah the clover is great. I've not added anything extra to it and the plants seem to like it. Literally didn't have to do anything other than water for a month or so and just watched them grow.

I think I'll be buying some in bulk before the peat ban comes in...

Might be worth reflecting on why there is to be a peat ban... Extraction is unsustainable and destroys a fragile ecosystem, one that is also an excellent carbon sink. Restoring peat bogs is better than planting trees. Don't mean to preach, but many haven't used the stuff for years and have survived!

I completely agree and need to do some research for a suitable alternative :yep:

I'll consider that a bollocking
