Used paper towels and a rapid rooter. Slow for a couple days but was potted into a solo cup by week's end.

Fairly slow going so far. Very healthy root growth though - liking these fabric pots.

Healthy growth. Dense and bushy. Potted into a 3 gallon fabric pot at the beginning of the week. Topped at the end of the week.

Topped again at the beginning of the week. Repotted in 5 gallon pot (final). Fan leaves drooping a bit, but it was a stressful week for her.

Fast approaching the limits of my small tent here. Did top twice more to even out the canopy. Have started tying down the main branches and guiding them away from one another (LST). By midweek some branches began to poke their head above the scrog. The net was pretty full by the end of the week. Good enough for me, time to flip. I’d let this one veg longer if I had more space.

The stretch begins! As soon as a branch rises an inch or two above the net I zip tie it to the net. I also lolipopped all growth beneath the canopy as it was shadowed down there, over two days so as not to stress her out too much.

Stretching a fair bit this week. Lots of tying down still. I’m finding it challenging planning out the routes that the various branches will take haha. Hygrometer tells me it’s too humid in there so I have started some strategic defoliation for better airflow. Have placed a small dehumidifier in there as well as a small oscillating fan.

Nice amount of branches, and started to see the pistils in earnest this week. Far too crowded in there though. This is a mold-resistant strain so not too worried but with the high humidity it’s better to be safe than sorry. Defoliated some of the bigger fans at the end of the week.

Nice budlets forming. About 20-25 viable branches, so hopefully they’ll grow to a decent size. Temp and humidity are getting out of control. I’ve seen spikes to 85f and RH as high as 75%. The average is around 79f/64% so I think we’re just about in acceptable parameters. It is definitely too humid though. I’ve continued to defoliate to deal with the airflow issue. Nothing too major, a little every other day.

Things are beginning to look frosty. Increased fertigation volume by x2 for two days to reduce run-off ppm. Continuing to snip off fan leaves here and there where they shadow lower bud sites or clusters are reducing airflow.

About as common as the three node mutations. Beautiful looking plant! If you take the majority of the large fan leaves off at this point it will have way more room to breathe. Which will reduce your chances of mold and issues later. Plus you’ll get better light penetration resulting in bigger buds! Happy Growing

Day 36 Defoliated a bunch of fans. Some buds are fattening faster than others. One top is about 9” away from my light, so will need to tie that down if it gets any taller. Day 39 Humidity still too high in there, but buds definitely getting bigger.

Day 46 Last week I found some unwelcome visitors on the underside of her leaves. Think I caught them before they spread too much, as they seemed to still be the in the larval stage. Some pale-looking mite. Not cool! I got two dozen ladybugs and set up some food (raisins) and water for them in the bottom of the tent. I haven’t seen any mites since or evidence of spreading damage, so fingers crossed the ladybugs are on top of the situation. Other than that, things are going well, she’s drinking a little less than earlier in flowering. Trichomes are about 60-80% cloudy. I made some QWISO from some trimmed sugar leaves. It was potent!

Day 51 There was a heatwave in the UK last week and I completely lost control of tent temperature - it reached 90f at one point. I can see some foxtailing that I figure must be a consequence of the heat stress. About forty percent of the buds look done already, while the rest are playing catch up. Really hoping I don’t have to stagger the harvest. Trichomes are all over the place. I’ve seen patches where they’re 50% clear and some where it’s 90% cloudy and a few ambers dotted around. If any more ambers pop up I may have to start flushing. This is a coco grow so will only need to flush for a week. ✌️

Day 59 I saw a couple more amber trichomes, so begun the flush on day 57. She seems pretty happy and has already put on a little extra weight. Things are also suddenly very dank; possibly the flush has increased terpene production. Anyway, the smell is now filling the room outside the tent so I have broken out an ona block to try and cover it up 😂 Just a week to go now! Very excited to finish this grow (my second ever) and move on to drying, curing and making hasj. ✌️

It has continued to be Too Hot here in the UK, so in an effort to mitigate further foxtailing (and after a nine-day flush) I think we’re ready to harvest!

A real pleasure to grow. I ran into some problems with space and overheating, which caused some of the buds to be a little airy. Some were nice and dense however and taste great after a four week cure. Yielded about 2.4oz and 5g of hash.
