Day 7 of veg (day 18 since germination). Only going with 2 plants for this run. Both of these plants sprouted and took off pretty quickly right away. I started the seeds in small nursery pots filled with Fox Farms Happy Frog soil, which I assumed had more nutrients in it than it did, so one plant had some yellow in the leaves. I was able to correct the issue fairly quickly and the new growth looks great. These were transplanted into 1gal pots on Thursday. The roots were dusted with mycos and then the pot was top dressed with some starter fertilizer from roots organics.

Day 15 of veg (day 26 since germination). Both plants seem to be settling into their 1 gallon pots well. The slight discoloration they had on the leaves has been corrected and they are looking well. I expect more rapid growth out of them over the next week and will likely top and start LST on them within the next week or two. Both plants got a 1 TBSP top dressing of fertilizer today. The lights are each set to 85W for this part of the grow (170W total for the tent).

Day 23 of veg (day 34 since germination). Both plants have been topped and tied down. The growth rate is still a little slow on them so I'm hopping the growth picks up a lot more over then ext week or two.

Day 29 of veg (day 40 since germination). Both plants have been topped again so they can start side branching. The growth rate is starting to pick up so I'm hoping they will fill out nicely soon and get past this ugly stage.

Day 35 of veg (day 46 since germination). Plants are growing well, but bushy, and I'm tying them down more aggressively than usual. they are closer to the soil than I like but that shouldn't be an issue once they get flipped to flower and lolli-popped. Noticred this morning that the noes are starting to offset so they will get flipped to flower once the side branching fills out more.

Day 43 of veg (day 54 since germination). The plants are filling in quickly now so they will begin their flower cycle tomorrow. I pinned them a little closer to the soil than I like but that shouldn't be an issue once I they start stretching and I clean up the bottom half of the plants.

Day 7 of flower (day 61 since germination). The plants were lolli-popped at the beginning of the week and branches were pulled down throughout the week. Lots of growth this week and the smell is starting to come through. All plants were top dressed with some flower fertilizer and given some calmag solution yesterday. I'm keeping the lights close to see if that will help keep the stretch down this run.

Day 13 of flower (day 67 since germination). The plants have close to doubled in height over the last week and the canopy is filling in the entire footprint of the tent beautifully. They are going through close to twice as much of water compared to what I've seen in previous grows in this tent. The smell is starting to come through but I'm having a hard time pinpointing what I'm smelling in the tent.

Day 20 of flower (day 74 since germination). The plants are doing well and the flower stretch seems to be slowing down. I'm hoping they don't get much taller because the lights are as high as they can go. Some nice bud development over the last week and I'm really happy with these plants so far.

Day 27 of flower (day 81 since germination). The plants are doing great and the flower stretch seems to have finished. The buds had some nice growth over the past week and the trichomes are starting to stack up on the flowers and sugar leaves. Each plant got top dressed with about 2TSP fertilizer and a handful of worm castings mid week.

Day 35 of flower (day 89 since germination). The plants are doing well and are frosting up with trichomes nicely. I had some humidity issues early in the week which seems to have affected some lower leaves but I believe I have that all sorted out now. Plants each got a dose of recharge on Friday.

Day 42 flower (day 96 since sprout). Getting some fall colors but have been sick all week so haven't done anything but make sure the water reservoir was topped off each day.

Day 48 flower (day 102 since sprout). The flowers are really starting to pack on some weight and are frosting up nicely. Had to add some bamboo stakes in the pots to support the branches. Looks like these plants should be ready to harvest in a week or two. Still can't figure out what it smells like, since I've been sick for the last week and a half, but I think I'm smelling some berry and licorice in there. The right plant has a lot more purple in it than the left one. Each plant received 0.5L of recharge on Wednesday.

Day 55 flower (day 109 since sprout). These girls are just getting nicer and nicer every week. I'm going to let them go for probably one more week since the temp and humidity has been really nice for them lately. The fade has really come in this past week and the flowers smell amazing. I'm getting a smell of berries and black licorice from them. Each plant got a 0.3L dose of recharge this week.

These plants were great to grow and they smell like berries and black licorice. We lost power on Wednesday morning so I let the plants be, with the tent open, until Friday and then harvested them.
