By now Iām sure all of you following along are sick and tired of reading about how large of a plant she is, but DAMN sheās big! She takes up more space by herself than the other 5 plants in the tent with her.
She is moving along nicely up the feed chart, and is now on the mid-bloom step 5 stage. Step 5 is the same as steps 3 & 4, so really nothing new to report.
She took a whole gallon of water mixed with the following:
CALiMAGic - 2 ml
FloraMicro - 4.7 ml
FloraGro - 3.8 ml
FloraBloom - 8.5 ml
Floralicious Plus - 2 ml
Liquid KoolBloom - 2 ml
The pH was 6.2, and was not adjusted. The runoff was excellent, and its pH was also 6.2. š¤·āāļø
The tent temperature was 86.9F, and humidity was 40%.
I skipped feeding her yesterday because I was tired and not in the mood. Today she looked dry and somewhat flat before I fed her which is normal if I skip a day. However, sheās usually quick to come back to her normal chipper self after getting fed. It looks like Iām going to have to bend a couple more branches in the coming days ahead, but Iāll deal with all of that later.
Iāll be so glad when sheās done growing! Happy growing everyone!

Skipped another day of feeding, but she didnāt get all limp as she has in the past. I finally just sat down inside the tent today after removing all of the other plants and did some serious defoliation.
In addition to defoliating her, I also cut off a bunch of smaller branches that didnāt look like they were going to produce much. I figure itās better to cut the shrubs off, so that the actual nodes get all the nutrients in order to produce some fat ass buds!
My previous DarkStar cultivar I grew had some seriously large and dense nuggets, so Iām hoping for the same from her.
She took another gallon of water today mixed with the same nutrients as the 18th, so I wonāt list them again here.
The initial pH was 6.3, and I didnāt adjust it. She had plenty of runoff, and the runoff pH was 6.2.
The tent was 84.2F, and the humidity was 52%.
Stella was practically naked when I finished with her today, and Iām looking forward to seeing how she looks tomorrow. Iāve cleared out all the clutter, and I was also able to raise the light up a few more inches today using some other bands to connect it to the top of the tents frame. She is about 10 inches below the light now, but she still has a couple long branches that are within 6 inches of the light. Itās still better than it was earlier today when some of the buds were above the light.
My grow room is doing great right now, and I hope all of yours are as well.
Happy growing everyone!

Iāve been a neglectful grower as of late! I was busy outside the house yesterday, and didnāt have time to feed my girls. They all looked okay today, except Stella. I defoliated her to the extreme the other day, so she looks dryer than usual.
However, she is a wonderfully strong cultivar which can withstand a lot of issues; such as high heat, as well as long periods without water. But she does have her limits to which I donāt want to find out.
She took a whole gallon today with plenty of runoff. She received the following nutrients:
CALiMAGic - 2 ml
FloraMicro - 4.7 ml
FloraGro - 3.8 ml
FloraBloom - 8.5 ml
Floralicious Plus - 2ml
Liquid KoolBloom - 2 ml
The initial pH was 6.3, and was not adjusted.
Her runoff pH was 6.2, which is excellent! The tent temperature was 85F, with 51% humidity.
Stella is mainly bud nodes at this point, and all of them are just starting to fatten up. I love this part of the grow! Watching something turn from nothing, to something amazing is awesome!
I love growing weed, and I hope you all have nothing but success in your own gardens, and grow rooms.
Happy growing everyone!
