Starting to get bigger. There is some yellowing on the leaves, the fox farm ocean soil may be a bit too hot and have some nute burn. Just going to watch them for now and see how they do.

Sorry all, missed a few weeks… life got in the way. End of week four, all plants are doing good, one is doing spectacular, one is going to be my runt 😁. Just used some big grow nutes for the first time this week.

Plants really started growing a lot this week. Did a FIM on the two tallest plants. Also did some LST this week. They bounced back from both in a day or two.

A little LST earlier in the week and a little bit of defoliation today. Installed a scrog net after pictures and will maybe flip to flowering 1-2 weeks. Also gave them some Big Grow and Calmag today.

Added scrog net this week. Little bit more trimming. Not grown much in the last week, till I will flip them to flowers soon, hope they get some good growth then. One of the plants I fimmed I don’t think I did a good job on, funky little cluster in its top. All of them a looking pretty good still.

Really got behind on my posts. I flipped the lighting schedule right before week 8. Feeding nutes about every other feeding. Couple of defoliation sessions. For the most part they seem pretty happy right now

Plants are finally starting to look like they are moving to the flower stage. This is my first photoperiod, so I haven’t been sure what to expect as I moved from 18 to 12 light cycle. They look really healthy, just excited to see them moving more into the flowering stage! Providing nutes about every other feeding depending on this color

Babies are still going strong. No issues over the last week. Watering almost daily and feeding nutes every 2-3 days depending on plant color. Also gave them a bit of a haircut. Will do this once more in 1-2 weeks.

Plants continue to do great. Wish I would have pruned a few more branches early on, but that’s Ok. Things are starting to get pretty smelly. Watering almost daily now, nutes every other watering.

Not much to comment on, plans are doing great. Watering some daily, nutes every couple days. Picking a few fan leaves here and there to let some more light in.

Little bit of a rough week. My timer on my light is only working when it wants to, so I gotta check to make sure it comes on and goes off when it is supposed to. My middle plant is getting rust color spots on most of the leaves. I can only assume a nute deficiency but more likely I have lockout. Maddening, as this was my best looking plant. Still think I will get a pretty good harvest when it comes time. Thanks for stopping by!

These are the longest weeks ever! Slow going, but plants are still looking really healthy. Clipping a few fans leaves here and there. Watering a little almost daily. Probably still a few weeks from harvest maybe?

Started flushing these girls this week. I would have thought all the leaves would have started turning by now, but everything is still green. Still clipping fan leaves here and there. Terpines are getting cloudy, but not really any turning brown yet. Hoping I get to clip these babies by the end of next week. Thanks for stopping by!

Had to delay my posting due to vacation and these bud needing 2 weeks to really dry out enough to start curing. Super sticky. Overall, super happy with the outcome. I have 3 more of these seeds I plan to start in a month. Thanks for visiting!!! I will try to update with how good the high is… I don’t smoke though, my wife does 😀 few more weeks to cure
