Early Lemon Berry

Alright, finally starting back after a nice month off. Successfully germinated 2 early lemon berry seeds. Tried starting 2 CrescendO AUTOs to get to a quick harvest, but only 1 sprouted (correctly at least). To make up for it I started a Banana Hammock AUTO, which is officially 1 week behind the others. Will include all details once plant is transplanted and topped. Photos taken 7 days after breaking soil.

Progressing as would be expected. Expect to transplant and top in the next week or so. Will include all details once plant is transplanted and topped. Photos taken 14 days after breaking soil.

These girls are growing. Will be transplanted in the next few days and topped shortly after. Note the abnormal set of leaves in the yellow cup. Will include all details once plant is transplanted and topped. Photos taken 21 days after breaking soil.

Finally got around to transplanting; will top this week when they recover. Don’t mind the droopiness, they pics were taken right before lights out. Will include all details once plant is topped. Photos taken 28 days after breaking soil.

These girls recovered from being transplanted quickly. They were then topped on day 32. Have also started with LST. Photos taken 35 days after breaking soil.

Starting to take off after the topping. Will continue LST and prob move these 2 to the flower tent in 2-3 weeks if I don’t do another round of topping... Photos taken 42 days after breaking soil.

A lot of LST and leaf tucking this week. Started feeding with grow formula this week, and will continue increasing feeding as long as they can handle it. Still considering another round of topping, but if not they are only a few weeks away from moving to the flower tent. Looking forward to taking some clones this round.

Alright, alright, the time has come! These girls will wake up in the flower tent tomorrow. A lot of LST and leaf tucking this week. Increased feeding this week, but one branch on left plant is showing a little deficiency; checked run-off and the pH was right above the high end of acceptable. Will be watering with lower pH next few times, monitoring run-off, to get them in the best spot possible. Will be using a brand new philips elite agro in flower. Will take cuttings to attempt cloning before end of day. Photos taken 56 days after breaking soil.

First week of flower complete! Been using lower pH when feeding, and the soil is starting to find itself in the correct zone. Will increase feeding this week. Took a clone from each, neither have sprouted roots yet. Photos taken 63 days after breaking soil, day 7 of flower.

We love the stretch! Hope to get a bit more height but happy with how these gals are developing. Increased feeding this past week and will do so again this coming week. Will begin defoliation in the coming days. Clones still haven’t sprouted roots, but looking close to doing so. Photos taken 70 days after breaking soil, day 14 of flower.

The stretch seems to be over. Developing nice and quick. Slowly defoliating and cleaning them up. A slight smell already, but she’s ready to explode and stink the place up. Photos taken 77 days after breaking soil, day 21 of flower.

Things are going as planned. Did fuck up and water 1 plant with straight RO water (not pHed) this week, but she seems to be doing fine since. Photos taken 84 days after breaking soil, day 28 of flower.

Well, girl on left is pissed about something; not the one that was previously watered with straight RO water. Not at all worried; ~3 weeks out from harvest. Plan to give a last and strongest feeding this week. The following watering will just be cal-mag, then I’ll likely start a flush. Guess I’ll see how things look in a week from now...

As mentioned last update, gal on left was pissed. Calibrated pH meter after determining it was drifting a bit. Seems to have solved the problem. Recently switched from RO water with added calmag to tap water. Will give these gals their final feeding today, then the flush begins. Fall colors and dank smells. These gals are lovely. Chop chop should be in 2 weeks. On another note, 1 of 2 clones took! Excited to keep a mother for awhile of quick finishing plants. Photos taken 98 days after breaking soil, day 42 of flower.

One more week! These girls are getting chonky (esp the one on the right) and smell amazing. Developing and finishing up nicely; happy to have a clone to use as a mother for quick finishing plants. Photos taken 105 days after breaking soil, day 49 of flower.

Chop day! Stressed the girls a little with lower humidity this week and they were getting thirsty this morning before chop. First time drying in one of my grow tents; typically dry in guest bedroom closet but it’s a bit warm up there this time of year. Will be back in ~6 weeks with a review!

Wasn’t the smoothest of grows, but we continue our education! Was nice to have a strain that finished so quickly.
